Chapter 207 The Champion's First Step

The Nets knew that it was impossible for Van Horn to keep up with Zhang Chen, so the player who appeared in front of Zhang Chen was Kiedles.

For him, it doesn't matter who is defending. He is not the kind of player who can only attack in one way. He can beat various defenders in whatever way he can.

Quickly moved laterally to pretend to break through, and when the opponent was desperately blocking him, Zhang Chen came over and sat behind him, and then turned over to make a jump shot.

Stable shooting, stable scoring, in fact, Zhang Chen is more terrifying than his performance at critical moments is his stability. After all, he rarely needs to do this at such decisive moments. Before, he would lead the team to defeat the opponent.

Larry Hughes went to defend Kidd, but the Nets' first attack was also successful. Kiddels' emergency stop jumper, the Nets' offense does not necessarily end, Kidd is the team's boss , but he won't play the first pitch to show his status like the average team boss.

Kidd's identity is a point guard, he cares more about overall performance than scoring, but even so, the Warriors' strategy of focusing on marking Kidd will not change.

Because of the defensive problems on both sides, Arenas will not have so many chances to make cold shots in this game, and the second scoring point of the Warriors and Nets will restrict each other today. Whether it is Jamison or Martin, both of them It can be defended, and the chances of easy shots will not be so easy.

Then for the Warriors, the focus of offense will be on Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes. The Nets are relatively weak insiders. It works well.

"Larry Hughes missed the basket a bit. Zhang Chen, who rushed in together, grabbed the rebound and threw the ball in from the spot. The three Nets surrounded Zhang Chen and did not respond."

"Jamison missed the shot, and Zhang Chen grabbed the front court again. The Nets' rebounding ability is really poor. If they can only rely on Kidd to protect the rebound, Zhang Chen will not show any mercy. .”

"The Nets made a pass error, Larry Hughes stole the ball and dunked it completely, Coster requested a timeout, and only played for 3 minutes. The Nets seemed a little uncomfortable with the finals."

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors played their own offense. Their strategy today is to break through the ball and rush for rebounds. The Nets are not strong inside, so they will hold on to this.

If it weren't for the Nets' shooting accuracy, the score would be widened now, but in fact they are only zero points now, and the opponent's mid-range shooting percentage is also very good.

"Keep an eye on the defense, you can definitely do it." Taking advantage of the opponent's timeout, the head coach of the Warriors also passed on their instructions.

With a comprehensive offensive outside line and a nondescript inside line, the Nets still thought they had experience in dealing with such a team, because they happened to beat such a team in the Eastern Conference finals. Zhang Chen and Jamison's Combination, they think that even if the combination of Pierce and Walker is better, it will not be too much.

But after the game started, they realized that there are still differences between the two sides. There are big differences in technical style and understanding of the game. Zhang Chen is better than Pierce so it is understandable, but they found that the other players on the Warriors are also better than Pierce. When they imagined that they were powerful before, they are a little bit bitter now.

"Indent the defense a bit." The opponent's head coach, Byron Scott, can only fine-tune the defense. Originally, this kind of defense can only be used when the Lakers enter the finals, but now facing Zhang Chen and La Li-Hughes had to shrink the defense because of the impact. Without a good help to defend the inside line, being attacked like this made me cry.

The Nets' defense depends entirely on the mobility of the players, which is to be active.

Their defense has also done this. Even if Jamison is outside the three-point line, Kenyon Martin also defends it. Their center runs very actively, so they think it is okay to shrink some defenses.

But the Warriors are not vegetarians for their three-pointers. Zhang Chen, Jamison and Arenas' three-pointers are all very sharp. Came out, and the Warriors broke through.

In such a situation, the big players on both sides are relatively tired, and the Nets' internal substitutes are also weak, and they can't score in rebounds. After all, the main players are soy sauce, but their characteristic is to actively do dirty work. Tiring.

Such a situation, for Dampier's offensive insider, can be regarded as mutual restriction, but once the two sides rotate players, after the Warriors' insider becomes Murphy, they have a high advantage, and Murphy can attack even more. pull out.

The Nets have no choice but to follow the defense, so their rebounding is even more problematic.

Kidd can grab, Zhang Chen can grab even more, and he has the advantage in height, wingspan, bounce, etc. In this way, it seems that Zhang Chen has become the inside line of the Warriors, and he is very successful in the opponent's three-second zone .

For such a situation, the Nets were extremely depressed. They originally planned to use Kiedles and Richard Jefferson on the bench to defend Zhang Chen in rotation, but they only consumed his energy, and then used Kenyon Martin to entangle him. Kill Jamison, and then rely on a more team attack to defeat the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the Warriors, who are not very good at rebounding, played the game of rebounding. The Nets really couldn't win. They used Van Horn to go inside to grab it. The height is there, but everything else is completely hard. But Zhang Chen.

In this case, Kenyon Martin must take it back, but in that case Jamison is in danger, and the Nets are also a little hesitant.

To be honest, although they were a bit passive on the scene, they didn't fall behind in the score. This is why the Nets would be entangled. If it wasn't for their weak interior defense, they wouldn't be so passive at all.

Another thing is that they lack an attacker. After the Warriors' defense is settled, they don't have a team like Zhang Chen who can mess up the opponent's defense by playing with the ball. Make a jump shot when you are stable, or make a jump shot after passing the opportunity, the ability to attack with the ball is too weak.

"Everyone should focus more and try to interfere with the opponent's shooting." In this important game, Zhang Chen will continue to direct his teammates. He needs the team to play better.

"Zhang Chen broke in again, Martin rushed to defend with all his strength, Zhang Chen scored the ball into Jamison's hands, and hit... Oh, I knew it would be like this, this is the inherent routine of the Warriors, but such a simple style of play , allowing each of their teammates to be recruited, which shows that this trick is too practical."

Zhang Chen, who scored with all his strength, was still able to find a way for the opponent to try his best, but now Zhang Chen did a very good job of attacking and passing the ball, which made the Nets at a loss.

"The second quarter is coming to an end soon. The Warriors are in a relatively relaxed state. They just have Jamison on it for a long time. Got more rest time."

"When the Warriors are in the rotation, their offense and defense are also very organized. A real strong team should behave like this... Oh, Kidd hit a three-pointer. If his long-range shot that is not effective at this time does not appear, the basketball Nets will surrender at halftime."

Kidd and Kenyon Martin played for a relatively long time, and the Warriors did not make any special adjustments when they saw that Zhang Chen had a tendency to chase points while Zhang Chen was resting.

The real decisive battle is in the second half, in the fourth quarter. Before that, it is an ideal state for the players to get enough rest and preserve their energy without falling behind.

The Nets are basically an outside team, and now there are fewer and fewer good insiders, and it is not easy not to think about an outside team.

Because of this trait of the opponent, Zhang Chen must use the skill of status seal in the last quarter.

But in this situation, we must first consume more energy from the opponent, make the opponent feel that it is normal for them to be in a downturn in the fourth quarter, and even let them develop a thinking inertia. When fighting the Warriors, in addition to dealing with With their strong offensive and defensive strength, they will fall into Zhang Chen's trap if they are not careful.

To be victorious, it is necessary to do more than meets the eye.

"The referee's whistle blew again, Kenyon Martin's foul, and now the Nets are plagued by fouls on three inside lanes, Kenyon Martin four times, McCloch four times, Aaron Williams five times Second-rate."

"The joint impact of Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes is simply a nightmare for big men in the league."

Trapped by fouls, the Nets' defense became a bit anticlimactic, and they were forced to fight for offense.

Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Van Horn and Kiedles are all good mid-range shots. In the final period of the third quarter, they also relied on their mid-range shots to not be taken away by the Warriors.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they missed several mid-range shots, and the gap in the score came to more than ten points.

In the next game, they felt very powerless. Their offense didn't hit a beat, but the Warriors broke through and played smoothly. Basically, their morale was a little low after half of the fourth quarter.

With only 3 minutes left, the Nets gave up the game and replaced it with a substitute.

At 105:94, after both sides put on the bench, the Nets recovered a few points, but it was useless.

The goal of the finals, the Warriors have completed the first step, "only three victories are needed." Zhang Chen's fierceness to his teammates was simple and rough, because they were the winners.
