Chapter 203 The Spurs of the Single Tower

The longer the game goes on, the more uncertain the Blazers will be.

Pippen was overwhelmed by Zhang Chen when defending, and Bunch-Wells was also overwhelmed by Zhang Chen when defending. Their score has been falling behind, but Zhang Chen's expected fatigue did not appear.

In fact, for Zhang Chen, whether it is flanking or single defense, such intensity has no effect on him. When facing the Blazers, he does not need to be too hard on both ends of the defense, and his actual rest time is comparable to the opponent's imagination. to be longer.

This is very unfair, but how can there be absolute fairness when pursuing victory or defeat? Absolute fairness is the real unfairness. Everyone has the right to use their own advantages.

The Blazers have been waiting for Zhang Chen's efficiency to drop, but Zhang Chen is very stable both offensively and defensively. At the end, his shooting percentage is still on the rise.

Of course, the opponent can also say that Zhang Chen shot too many shots in this game, and he must have been affected by injuries, but this is meaningless, just like saying that he did not recover to 100% and still blew up the Blazers. Maybe it made Zhang Chen more majestic.

At 95:87, the Warriors pulled the score to 2:2, and the situation is completely different now.

The Warriors are back at home, and the pressure is on the Trail Blazers.

However, at this time, the Blazers were willing to go all out, and no matter what Zhang Chen was like, they only focused on their offense and played their best level, which was their goal in the fifth game.

In this game, it can be said that the Blazers still played well, and they also shot three-pointers, but the Warriors cooperated more smoothly. After Zhang Chen came back, they had successfully established a new balance. At this time, the Blazers The player has missed the best chance to beat the Warriors.

The Blazers could still resist in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter the situation was one-sided.

At 109:90, the Warriors won their first opponent in the playoffs with a big victory.

The newspaper's basketball page, the most conspicuous position is the same news, the return of the king.

The FireWire came back and led the team to win three games in a row. Even if the Warriors' subsequent games were a mess, Zhang Chen's performance was perfect, but what he wants is real perfection. The journey of this season's playoffs has just begun .

Several other teams in the West had already produced winners before the Warriors and Trail Blazers decided the winner.

The Kings defeated the Supersonics 3:1. The Kings offense was still terrifying in the playoffs. When the Supersonics were a little wilted by Lewis, Payton tried his best to win the next game.

The Spurs defeated the Timberwolves 3:1. Tony Parker and Chauncey Billups went berserk in the playoffs at the same time. Duncan and Garnett were even more tit-for-tat. It can only be said that the Spurs' bench is stronger. It is worth mentioning that , David Robinson was injured and may not be able to participate in the next game.

The Lakers defeated the Mavericks 3:1. The Mavericks are actually very strong this season. The three Musketeers of the Mavericks also went wild. At the feet of the Lakers.

So the second round of the Western Conference will be the Kings against the Lakers, the Warriors against the Spurs.

Compared with the West, it was only because the Warriors didn't play in the first two games that Zhang Chen seemed a little tangled, and the East was tangled all the way. Except for the Hornets who killed the Magic 3:1, the other three games were 3:2, and the Nets 3. :2 beat the Pacers, the Pistons beat the Raptors 3:2, and the Celtics beat the 3ers 2:76.

In fact, the Magic had a chance, but they really felt that the mud could not support the wall. The boss of the Hornets was injured before the playoffs. Mashburn did not appear in the playoffs. Baron Davis immediately took over. In the past, the responsibility of the boss is still to kill the magic.

For the Nets and Pacers, the old Miller returned to his youth in the playoffs. If Kidd hadn't exploded in scoring, the Nets would have died.

The Raptors also injured the main player. Carter was unable to participate. Even if Antonio Davis played like a super insider, the Raptors still lost in the end because the Pistons had Ben Wallace inside.

The Celtics Gemini battled Iverson fiercely, and the final result was a bit like Iverson lost to four hands with two fists. The key is that his helper Mutombo did not perform well.

The second round in the East is the Nets against the Hornets, and the Pistons against the Celtics.

By this time, all the honorary awards for the 2001-2002 season have also come out.

Due to many absences, the regular season MVP was taken away by Duncan, and the scoring champion was won by Iverson with an average of 31.4 points per game.

In addition, the rebounding leader is Ben Wallace with an average of 13 rebounds per game, the assists leader is Andre Miller with an average of 10.9 assists per game, and the steals leader is still Iverson with an average of 2.8 steals per game.

The best rookie was won by Pau Gasol, the best sixth man was Coster Williams of the Pistons, the most improved award was Jr. O'Neal of the Pacers, and the best defensive player was Ben Wallace. The best head coach is Carlisle of the Pistons.

This season the Warriors have nothing to gain from these honors, but they still gained something in the league's best defensive team and the league's best team. Zhang Chen's absence did not affect his evaluation in this regard. The performance is perfect.

Best First Team: Jason Kidd, Zhang Chen, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal.

Best Second Team: Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webber.

Best Third Team: Gary Payton, Paul Pierce, Antawn Jamison, Dikembe Mutombo, Ben Wallace.

Best Defensive First Team: Jason Kidd, Zhang Chen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace.

Best Defensive Second Team: Gary Payton, Larry Hughes, Kobe Bryant, Bruce Bowen, Dikembe Mutombo.

And Arenas also entered the best rookie team, the other four are Jason - Richardson, Sean - Battier, Andre - Kirilenko and Paul - Gasol.

Four members of the team have won honors, and they are worthy of the performance of the Warriors this season. It's just that Zhang Chen has some regrets. If he is not injured, two heavyweights should be added to his honor.

Before the start of the second round, the Spurs finally received definite news that David Robinson would not appear on their roster. Condition.

Without David Robinson's Spurs, Duncan can only appear at the fifth position, and the top starter at the fourth position is Malik Rose, their fixed inside rotation player in recent years.

In the second round, the Warriors faced the Spurs. There are several things to watch. One is that the Spurs deal with Zhang Chen in this way. Without the configuration of the twin towers, should they resolutely attack or use Bruce Bowen to defend alone? Second, this rookie has a bright future. The attacking No. [-] Arenas and Tony Parker played against each other. The Spurs' outside firepower is not enough. Parker has ushered in an explosion. What response will Arenas, the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Game and the first-team Rookie of the Year, have? It is worth looking forward to. The third is Zhang Chen was injured in the game against the Spurs before, or it could be that the enemy's road is narrow.

As the MVP of this season's regular season, Duncan's performance in the first round of the playoffs was almost perfect, averaging 28 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 4.5 blocks per game. One, the performance is just too good.

The excellent performance also shows that the Spurs are now relying heavily on Duncan, so the Warriors did not hesitate to determine the tactic of flanking Duncan, with Jamison and Zhang Chen taking turns flanking each other with the team's insiders.

Anyway, Zhang Chen will face Bruce Bowen at that time, and the defensive pressure will be very light.

In addition to flanking Duncan on the defensive end, the offensive end will deliberately foul him. Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes will complete this important task. It is a thousand miles away from David Robinson, and the Warriors have much less pressure to break through.

As for Zhang Chen's physical problems, after winning three games and exercising in the system, there is basically no problem. It is estimated that he will fully recover after winning two more games against the Spurs. It just so happens that his defensive task against the Spurs is not heavy. It is a good opportunity to fully restore the body.

In addition, the Spurs now have an eight-man rotation on the surface. In fact, the two old guys Terry Porter and Danny Ferry just went up to play soy sauce. They actually have a six-man rotation. , They can say that there is no other advantage except Duncan.

But the outcome of the game does not depend on strength on paper. The mentality of the Warriors from top to bottom is still very good.

An oppressive defense and decisiveness in offense are their requirements for the second round.

Game [-], the Warriors' Game [-] against the Spurs, starts at the Oakland Coliseum.

Just like the Spurs flanked Zhang Chen in some previous games, the moment Duncan received the ball, there were two people around him. In the end, the Spurs' first shot was made by Malik Rose, which missed a little.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Although the Spurs did not attack immediately after Zhang Chen received the ball, their insiders were ready to defend at any time.

However, Dampier pulled out to Zhang Chen to pick and roll. This is a relatively rare thing in the Warriors. With Dampier's attack power, there are not many follow-up options after the block. Now they play like this from the beginning, naturally not because they are afraid of Zhang Chen. His body couldn't hold on.

They have to see if Duncan will follow or not when only Duncan is left on the inside. If Dampier doesn't follow them, there will be Murphy. They want to see how the Spurs defend.

Duncan didn't follow. Anyway, Dampier was making a poor shot, so Zhang Chen took advantage of Dampier's block and hit a two-pointer.

In this game, they want to make the Spurs' defense uncomfortable. The loss of an old David Robinson is not because of the decline in strength, but because the Spurs' habits must be affected. The Warriors must beat this opponent before the opponent adjusts. Disabled.
