Chapter 518 Destroy the enemy!

Coach Stevens stroked his chin lightly, thinking about whether to call a timeout to adjust it, but he hesitated after thinking about it: calling a timeout just after two rounds was too casual, but a timeout is very precious , hesitated for a while, and the situation on the field changed again.

Owen was carelessly blocked by Zhang Xin. This round wanted to find another one. Facing Hilde's defense, Owen gained a half body advantage after a few disguises and wanted to break through. Zhang Xin assisted in defense in time. In the flanking attack, although Owen's dribbling ability is top-notch, he was caught off guard and cut off in the face of the flanking attack of the two.

Zhang Xin passed the ball to Hilde, who was going down fast, but Hilde didn't rush into the basket, and made a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line!

Three point hit!

In the previous life, the reason why Hilde’s three-point shooting rate was not high was because his three-point shot selection was not very good, and he always shot against the opponent. This is actually engraved in his bones, although There is Zhang Xin's ear to the face, but occasionally there will be some restless play, but this kind of chasing three-pointer is not safe, but it is not too much in the sun, and even encourages such a play, it looks reckless, but it is In line with the inner spirit of the sun.

After the three-pointer was made, Coach Stevens decisively called a timeout. Although they played only three rounds, the Celtics fell into a scoring drought and couldn't defend themselves. when?

Earl Watson smiled triumphantly. This is Zhang Xin. As long as Zhang Xin breaks out, the opponent will be in crisis. Yes, the opponent can attack Zhang Xin, but this is a positional battle. Start with defense, force the opponent to make mistakes, and then take advantage of the trend to defend and counterattack. When playing a fast break, the opponent can only do nothing!
The adjustment made by Coach Stevens is to let Horford come to the high position to support, and everyone else runs. When everyone runs, the entire lineup is alive and the offense is open, but the Suns also get rid of the Celtics. Zhang Xin played more resolutely and decisively when he was restrained by others. Even if two people were in a pincer attack, he would attack resolutely.

Zhang Xin may not be the best high-difficulty shooter in history. This honor is for Kobe Bryant. Zhang Xin is similar to Michael Jordan. They are players who do not put their offense into a difficult environment. The opponent's defense tried to reduce the difficulty of offense by passing the ball and cutting the position, but today the Celtics forced Zhang Xin to make a choice: either attack with difficulty, or give the ball to others.

Zhang Xin’s consistent choice is to give the ball to his teammates. He is different from Kobe. He believes in his teammates. Low, so Zhang Xin must choose to attack by himself.

Although Zhang Xin is not the best high-difficulty shot player in history, his high-difficulty shot efficiency is definitely not low. He just doesn't want to play like this, but he still surprised Coach Stevens when he chose to play like this. Unexpectedly Even in this situation, Zhang Xin still carried the sun's offensive banner!

Although Zhang Xin seemed reckless and reckless, he still used his almighty skills to greatly reduce the difficulty.

For example, when the Celtics attacked Zhang Xin from a high position, Zhang Xin did not take a shot against the two, but made a fake move, then passed the ball to Kuzma, and he went straight down to Olynik to ask for it. A screen, then a run back to the [-]-point line for a pass back from Kuzma, and a [-]-pointer.

This is a very typical wall-hitting match. Although this kind of shot is still difficult for others, it is no longer difficult for players like Zhang Xin and Curry. This is their general style of play.

Under this style of play, the Celtics' restrictions on Zhang Xin have become a joke, but this also highlights the horror of superstars who can shoot and pass suddenly. To restrict 3D players such as K For Leigh Thompson, you only need to find a player whose speed and height can keep up with Thompson's footsteps and keep an eye on it. A player who defends only breaks through and scores, such as Irving in the Cavaliers, then just keep two people pinching.

As for players like Zhang Xin, it is difficult to use the above methods to restrict him. He always has a way to break your flanking attack. He can shoot, rush, and pass. As long as there is a gap in the defense, he can catch it. There is no gap. He can tear your defense apart and open you up.

Coach Stevens and his assistants forced a smile: They had studied the strategy for a long time, but Zhang Xin was embarrassed for half the time. It might be that Zhang Xin wanted to give his teammates a sense of touch. If Zhang Xin had embraced it from the very beginning With the idea of ​​attacking, the Celtics' strategy may not be successful.

With Zhang Xin's performance, the Suns had expanded their advantage to 2 points with only 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Irving, Horford and Hayward tried their best to play a threat on both ends of the offense and defense, but under Zhang Xin's Under the leadership, the Celtics' efforts were repeatedly suppressed by Zhang Xin.

With 2 minutes left, none of the Celtics are willing to admit defeat, especially Kyrie Irving. Irving is like an indomitable sword. Although he is not outstanding in passing, he cannot be ignored on the offensive end.

The Celtics had the ball, Irving took the ball and passed halftime quickly, Horford went up to help Irving make a high screen, Irving broke through directly to the inside, Pau Gasol was rushed by Irving, and even a delay was not enough Unable to do so, Tucker hurriedly defended and jumped up to block the block. Owen dodged in the air, and turned his wrist wiping the board to the other side!

"Hey, this hand is so easy to use! After pulling the bar in the air, there is basically no layup angle. Irving rubbed and rolled in the air, and the ball changed direction and went straight to the basket as it swung quickly in the air and scratched the backboard. , It's really amazing!" Yang Yi was amazed.

There is not much time left, and there are still 8 points left. Zhang Xin is naturally not in a hurry, and Rajon Rondo is not in a hurry. , Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc, and Hayward was ready to fight. Tonight, Zhang Xin had already scored 48 points on his head. He tried his best to control his emotions, but the unstoppable frustration was spreading.

Zhang Xin was observing Hayward's body language and facial expressions, and he already had some concerns in his heart. A smile appeared on his face, did he defeat another opponent?

not enough!Zhang Xin thought, Hayward hadn't developed any real fear yet, and he had to play today so that he would be scared when he saw him, so that the finals would become easier!
