Chapter 187 The Road to Victory

The two core members of the Lakers naturally stood up and spoke harshly. The grievances between them and Zhang Chen can be said to have a long history.

It's a bit exaggerated to say that, after all, Zhang Chen had disputes with them only after he joined the alliance, but their hatred for Zhang Chen was genuine.

Not only was Kobe Bryant, Jordan’s successor, suppressed both offensively and defensively, the league’s No. [-] center O’Neal was also ridiculed by the media. Some even said that it was the right choice for the Magic not to give him a maximum salary and let him leave, which almost made him catch him. mad.

This summer, the Lakers are not idle. They naturally want to make the team stronger. As a traditional team, they are not short of money, but they have two top-salary players, and it is difficult to introduce other high-salary players.

As the pain of the team in the past few years, they changed the power forward position to try their luck. They got Samaki Walker from the Spurs. Anyway, he couldn't get much chance in the Spurs and was easily won. , Then they strengthened the outside line, got the former All-Star Mitch Richmond, and traded Lynch Hunter from the Bucks, which can be regarded as a strong force.

However, there is no obvious change compared with last year. Even if the Lakers are as powerful as the salary space constraints, they will not only choose the expensive ones and not the right ones like some teams.

But not necessarily cheap is right. A team like the Lakers plays complex tactics, and each personnel change is actually bigger than the average team. This situation is also applicable to other teams that play complex tactics. Anyway, the introduction The team that came was not as strong as their original players.

This eye-catching duel did not have any ups and downs in the plot, but it was played very well. Zhang Chen and Kobe did not match up. The two teams blasted each other from the beginning. Zhang Chen and Jamison blasted each other. Violent them again, Arenas and Fisher exploded each other.

Facts have proved that the Warriors who won smoothly are terrifying. Jamison broke out and scored 40 points, and the Warriors scored 80 points together. They also won the game 106:100.

With 13 consecutive victories, the Lakers have not been able to end the Warriors' winning streak, so which team can do it.

This became a hot topic, and the bookmaker/gaming company also opened the market.

On the 26th, the Warriors returned to their home court to face the Nets, which felt reborn this season.

Kidd is a very magical existence. After he came to the Nets, he no longer had the kind of scoring maniac who could score a lot of points, but he had more scoring points and better defense.

Four of the five main players averaged more than ten points per game, and the other also averaged ten points per game. The two main rotation players, including this year's rookie Richard Jefferson, also averaged ten points per game. The team has seven People can score points, and the players are integrated into a whole under Kidd's seasoned distribution of the ball, and the team's performance will naturally improve.

The Lakers' scoring model focused on superstars failed to defeat the Warriors, so what about the Nets' multi-point blooming model, many people are looking forward to it.

The current lineup of the Nets is relatively neat, which can be regarded as balanced inside and outside. Although Kenyon Martin, the No. [-] pick last year, is not very good, he can still run, jump, shoot and defend. The inside line can be regarded as more than enough than the top and more than the bottom.

Kidd can come from the perimeter as an offensive and defensive organization. In addition, Corey Kiddles and Keith Van Horn are both players with accurate shots, and they can naturally show their characteristics around Kidd.

This team is very good, but if there is any shortcoming, it is that Kidd as the core is strong in everything, but his shooting is a bit tricky. If it is a critical moment, who will shoot? question.

In this game, Kenyon Martin's restriction on Jamison was good, but Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes also almost restricted the opponent's outside firepower. Arenas was frustrated by the current super point guard. Anyway, the game was not played very smoothly, but both sides seized the opportunity and scored quickly.

The two teams in front had been entangled for a long time, but in the fourth quarter, the Nets directly languished.

101:85, the Warriors won their 14 consecutive victories with a big victory.

On the 28th, the Warriors flew to Dallas to play against the Mavericks.

The more powerful Nowitzki, the more powerful Nash, and the still sharp Finley are the Mavericks this season.

Because of Bradley's injury, the Mavericks played a small lineup.

Juwan Howard played the [-], Nowitzki moved back to the [-], put the hard-working defensive Adrian Griffin in the starting position alongside Nash in the backcourt, and Michael Finley It appeared at the small forward position.

The defense ability of such a lineup is almost negligible, but the attack power is strong enough.

The tactics of the Mavericks is that Adrian Griffin will only pester Zhang Chen, and the others will concentrate on attacking, whoever gets the most points.

Adrian Griffin may be the hardest defender of the Mavericks, but it is unrealistic to say that he can defend Zhang Chen. In this game, apart from Zhang Chen, the other scoring points of the two teams are almost the same. No one can prevent anyone's rhythm.

Nowitzki and Jamison, Nash and Arenas are more obvious, basically it is a shooting game.

During the rotation, Zhang Chen sat on the bench and saw that Wang Zhizhi had a chance to play. Seeing his position, Zhang Chen sighed.

Wang Zhizhi's shooting percentage is actually very good, but he has no chance to perform. Basically, he is replaced after two shots on the field. Zhang Chen summed it up. Wang Zhizhi's movement speed is mainly slow, and the Mavericks want him to float outside. What a waste.

Zhang Chen feels that communication is very important when playing overseas. He also talked with Wang Zhizhi before, but the other party did not seem to adapt to the way of communication here. Without a good center, if he really showed his ability around the basket, the situation would be much better than it is now.

At the end of the half, the score was 58:60. Although they were only behind by 2 points, the score was abnormal. It was too high. It can be said that under the leadership of Zhang Chen, the Warriors, who are increasingly emphasizing defense, are rarely defeated by their opponents. Scored 60 points in the half.

On the one hand, this shows that the opponent's scoring ability is really strong, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Warriors' defense in the first half was not in place.

"Don't fall into the rhythm of the opponent. If the opponent is not active in defense, we must be active in defense. If the opponent wants to speed up the rhythm, we should slow down the rhythm. It doesn't mean that the rhythm is slow, we just can't let the opponent attack comfortably. "For such a situation, Zhang Chen is not very satisfied.

Seeing the team's perfect start to the season, he has higher requirements for the team. His understanding of a really strong team is that it can attack and defend. He hopes that the Warriors will be a truly strong team.

Team configuration is only one aspect, what is more important is whether the players have this kind of mentality. Some teams have loose defense and weak desire/desire to win. Zhang Chen despises them very much.

His team must not be like that.

"Strengthen the defense, if you need to change the defense, just say it, no matter what position it is, I can change it." When Zhang Chen lowered his face, usually no one would dare to talk back to him, because he is the kind of person who works hard and leads by example. people, the rest have nothing to say.

But today was different. Jamison, who usually doesn't talk much, said, "Zhang, it's not that serious. We can win the opponent even in terms of points. The Mavericks' defense is average. Everyone wants to get more points. The statistics are better."

This kind of words, generally everyone knows it in their hearts, and it feels like brushing the data when they say it, which may have a bad impact on the team.

Jamison is the team's second-in-command, Zhang Chen frowned, not thinking about how to answer his words.

"Strengthen the defense in the second half. No matter how many points you score, if you allow your opponent to score more points, everything will be meaningless. If the first half is the final result, the difference of 2 points is the difference between winning and losing." The head coach stood Come out, if the players have different opinions, the coach needs to set the tone.

Jamison's face changed slightly. Even though he knew that the head coach would definitely support Zhang Chen, it was natural to feel a little unhappy.

It’s okay to be unhappy, Jamison is still a very dedicated player, and he doesn’t have any conflicts with Zhang Chen, it’s just that at his stage, his scoring and rebounding statistics are very good, so he naturally desires to get more.

At the beginning of the second half, the Mavericks handed over the ball to Nowitzki. Jamison was not as tall as the opponent, but his strength was not bad, and he could almost resist Nowitzki.

But Nowitzki didn't force himself when he saw that he couldn't sit in, and immediately turned around and leaned back to the golden rooster to be independent. Basically, this kind of shooting can only depend on his touch. If he hits the ball, the opponent's touch in this game is not bad.

Then Zhang Chen expressed the attitude of the Warriors. He received the ball with his back to the defenders, turned around and accelerated, and rushed to the inside lane. He jumped up and made a heavy dunk, and no one from the Mavericks had time to stop it.

"Defend well." Zhang Chen quickly retreated to his own half, clapping his hands to remind his teammates.

The Mavericks' inside offensive method is also a jump shot, so the defense must be pushed up and expanded. If the Warriors defend with all their strength, it will still have a certain impact on the opponent, but the existence of Nash makes their defense much more difficult.

A well-organized point guard with speed can add to the team's offense, and the effect is terrifying.

"Be active, keep up...just like this..." Zhang Chen's figure suddenly appeared on the opponent's pass line, and directly caught Nash's pass in his hands.

Super predictive ability, coupled with the ultimate start-up speed under absolute control.

Stealing the ball quickly, Zhang Chen passed the ball to Arenas, who completed a layup.

This is to set an example for other players. Originally, it is most appropriate to follow the offensive players and not easily move to keep them from interfering with them, but that is not expressive. Zhang Chen needs to show a shocking effect to make everyone raise defense the spirit of.

"Come on, let them see the championship team's defense."
