new lord of the rings

Chapter 339 You still have to be yourselves!

Coach Watson replaced Zhang Xin and put on TJ Warren. As soon as Zhang Xin came off, Durant broke out. Durant succeeded in singles against Warren again and again, forcing Phoenix to attack. Westbrook is not a three-pointer, so the Thunder tied the score before the end of the first quarter.

Watson actually called for a timeout adjustment, but Durant's threat at this point is too great. He can always single Warren without flanking, and Warren really can't defend. The score is not accurate, but it is always okay to attack inside. With Westbrook's impact, it is really not easy to rely on the old arms and legs of Gasol and Chandler to make up for the defense.

The key is that after Zhang Xin was released, there was a lack of a three-pointer and a passing core. Relying on two people to turn the ball is still a bit jerky. Although the Thunder's lineup is not very good for three-pointers, it is definitely top-notch in terms of defense. Yes, the score of the two sides in the second half of the first quarter was 12:22, and the Suns only scored 12 points under the blockade of the Thunder!
Zhang Xin looked thoughtfully at the bottom. The rotation during this time period really needs to be adjusted. At least two players who can open up the space when they land on the ground, otherwise the opponent will shrink wantonly. Rondo is useless even if he is a master of passing. Basketball is a game of chasing space. If there is no space, every shot has to be shot against the opponent, and the efficiency cannot be improved.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder led the team with Westbrook, Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis, Enes Kanter, and Kyle Schindler.

The Suns got Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, Tyson Chandler and Nene Hilario.

The second half of the second quarter played a tough game, and the Thunder fans watched happily, but Zhang Xin was not on the court after all. If Zhang Xin was beaten violently by the Thunder on the court, the Thunder fans would be angry.

In the second quarter, Zhang Xin led the Suns' original players on the court. Thunder fans thought that the Suns' original record was so poor, it was because of this group of players, and their strength should be mediocre. Thunder's rotation violently beat Zhang Xin.

The Warriors had the ball, Bledsoe dribbled the ball steadily across the frontcourt, Zhang Xin signaled Bledsoe to play a pick-and-roll tactic, Zhang Xin made room for Bledsoe in the bottom corner, and Knight stood on the other side To open up the space, Nene led Kanter up to the high position, and Nene went down the inside line as soon as he blocked, Westbrook could only follow Nene, and Bledsoe directly broke through Kanter.

Kanter's low-post offense is indeed a killer feature, but his defense has always been a loophole for opponents to attack. Bledsoe's impact is so fierce that he passed Kanter with a straight line assault and forced Sabonis to come to help defend. De Sole threw the ball into the sky, Chandler soared into the air and dunked!

"The Suns' offense is very methodical. Zhang Xin did not participate in this ball, but from the high pick-and-roll, to Bledsoe breaking through Kanter, forcing Sabonis to help the defense, and Bledsoe scoring the ball. Very calm, the progress of the sun is very fast!" Wang Meng was amazed.

Where did Wang Meng know that the current wave of learning within the Sun is aimed at the deepening of various tactics, and the arrangement of various details has reached the point of being picky. Just now, the high-position pick-and-roll has been discussed many times within the Sun, and the steps are broken down. What? When to block, where to block, how two people communicate, and how to deal with the ball after breaking through, whether to shoot or pass, all are clearly analyzed.

For veterans like Bledsoe, Chandler, and Nene, it was a move they were used to, but they used to rely on their own understanding and self-consciousness to do it ignorantly. I have my own understanding. So there will be a lot of inconsistencies.

Now the whole team has a common system. As long as you follow the system, you will know when your teammates will do what, so your actions will be natural, smooth and confident. Once the tactics are clarified, the offense will naturally flow smoothly.

Zhang Xin nodded approvingly, the veterans are indeed veterans, as long as they are given a system, they will quickly integrate into it and play their role.

Westbrook quickly dribbled the ball across the half court. The Thunder's tactics have always been simple and rough, especially when Westbrook led the team alone. Most of the time, it was a pick-and-roll to break through, or score the ball or make a layup. .

This time was no exception. Westbrook called Kanter to make a high screen. Nene quickly lifted up to prevent Westbrook from breaking through easily. Nene is indeed an insider who is good at pick-and-rolls. Wanted to start but couldn't get up, wanted to pass to Kanter who was going down, but Kanter was closely followed by Bledsoe, the passing route was cut off, and he couldn't get up, so he had to give up the pick-and-roll, Immediately dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, trying to use the space to increase the impact and pass Nene.

Zhang Xin indicated that he is ready to attack the basket at any time. If Westbrook chooses a mid-range shot, then let the inner defense be fine, and the efficiency will not be too high anyway.

Sure enough, Westbrook still chose to rush to the inside. Of course, Nene couldn't stop Westbrook's impact, but he fought and retreated, leaving room for Westbrook to make a mid-range shot, but Westbrook broke through to the end. Interferenced by Nene, he had no choice but to pull the bar, and Chandler slapped the ball hard on the backboard!
Westbrook was criticized by Chandler for the second time tonight. Westbrook was very annoyed, but Chandler's movements were very clean, and he didn't even have any physical contact with Westbrook. Westbrook is not good Go up and challenge your opponent.

Zhang Xin took the ball off before Kanter, and immediately launched a counterattack. Bledsoe was especially alert. When Chandler nailed the big cap, he turned around and ran to the frontcourt. Zhang Xin made a long pass, and Bledsoe Deso made a layup!

Bledsoe rushed to Zhang Xin excitedly after a layup, and gave Zhang Xin a high five. Bledsoe was so excited, he was too frustrated when he was an opponent with Zhang Xin, but he was a teammate with Zhang Xin But it was such a joy!

Zhang Xin scored the most explosive scoring in the world, but he didn't ask to hold the ball. He still let Bledsoe hold the ball, and even took the initiative to sink to the bottom corner to help him open up space for Bledsoe's pick-and-roll. You know, Zhang Xin As the leader of the team, Xin didn't hold the ball when he was starting with Rondo, and he didn't hold the ball when he was in rotation. He let his teammates play in the way they are good at. Such a leader is unheard of.

The NBA's traditional way of building a team is to build around a cornerstone, and then match a group of helpers to play around him. Zhang Xin's approach has simply subverted Bledsoe's inherent understanding of leaders.
