The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 342 Tactical Attempt
After the Warriors created a record opening streak, the enthusiasm of the players did not dissipate.

Because at this time, many players are already looking forward to whether they can really hit the regular season win record this season.

You know, this kind of big record is something recorded in the history of the league, so it's exciting to think about it.

"No problem, maybe this season we will continue to win like this. I feel that we can beat any opponent." During the training interval, Draymond Green was full of energy.

Kerr forbids players to talk nonsense outside, and this guy can't help it inside the team.

"Yes, if you double your performance, there is hope for an 82-game winning streak." Zhang Xiaotian was also in a good mood.

Victory is the best mediator. The personal relationships of these Warriors players may not be very good, but they are all enjoying themselves now.

On November 11, they are going to play away against the Jazz.

The Jazz's home court is not a fun place. Whether the Warriors will continue to make history, or are they satisfied with the [-]-game winning streak at the beginning, many eyes are staring.

The Jazz had a good start and continued to play their strong defensive characteristics.

They didn't work very well in the summer, but the young people grew again. Rudy Gobert in the third grade and Rodney Hood in the second grade played better and better.

The Jazz's defense can really try to limit the Warriors. The inside defense is good, and the outside defense is also good. Of course, the Jazz's own offense is also very important if the Warriors can stumble.

Today, Zhang Xiaotian will be facing the opponent's core Gordon Hayward, but the Jazz's tactics, Hayward does not dominate the ball, and his desire on the offensive end is not so strong.

Against Zhang Xiaotian, the two are basically restricting each other, and they are very cautious in their shots.

On the contrary, the guards on both sides were not polite, and they just threw the ball when they got the ball.

The Warriors don't need to play inside anyway, and the Jazz have a bit of a problem playing like this.

In fact, it was also forced by the Warriors. The Jazz had a balanced internal and external strength and wanted to play inside. As a result, the Warriors did not hesitate to shrink their defense and let the opponent's less accurate outside shots.

The Jazz also adopted a similar strategy, focusing on marking and forcing the opponent to play at the fourth or even fifth point.

They chose to play Draymond Green. Draymond Green is also a touch-sensitive type on the offensive end. Unlike his appearance, he plays very smartly and has a big heart.

The first couple of times, he was just as missable as the Jazz's role players.

But he was not affected in any way. He should still make a shot, and he really made a shot later.

On the contrary, the Jazz's hand has gradually become only a few strong points to dare to shoot. Although they have done a good job defensively, their own scoring is always a problem.

During the rotation period, the Jazz played better, and the former main player Alec Burks had a better scoring ability on the bench.

On the Warriors' side, Barnes twisted his foot and couldn't play in the previous game, and Iguodala didn't feel good. The originally strong substitute seemed to have some problems.

The point is, Curry doesn't feel good either.

Seeing the continuous strikes, the score was slowly overtaken by the Jazz, Cole increased Zhang Xiaotian's chances of singles.

Many coaches are actually quite confused about Zhang Xiaotian's attributes in the final quarter.

Logically speaking, if the reason is in the heart, it can be adjusted.

It's just that Zhang Xiaotian's previous coach was not a small player, and the Warriors started so well, Cole was not in a hurry. If Zhang Xiaotian's singles can also play a role in the front, the Warriors' tactics will be more abundant.

Anyway, the record was set, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Cole wanted to give it a try.

If it had been two years earlier, Cole would have been disappointed immediately, shouting that a psychiatrist would not be able to save him.

But Zhang Xiaotian's current strength is much stronger, so he won't make a fool of himself.

His success rate against Hayward is about the same as Hayward's success rate against him, half and half.

Compared with his performance in the final quarter, it is certainly not enough, but it is enough in the current defensive battle. If he plays alone, Klay Thompson and Curry can hold back from outside the three-point line, which will abolish half of the Jazz's inside defense.

Because he has a body, unlike Curry who rushes in with speed and is not easy to shoot.

Cole secretly speculated that Zhang Xiaotian could still be trained better with this appearance, whether the previous coach was lazy or he enjoyed some results.

The truth is often simple, but it is easy to be ignored by others. Zhang Xiaotian's strength has only improved.

Relying on Zhang Xiaotian's performance in double figures in the second quarter, the Warriors ended the first half with a 5-point advantage.

The role of the substitutes in the second half will be weakened, and they will basically play against the main lineup.

The Warriors' restrictions on the Jazz are almost the same, the key is their offense.

After finding out Zhang Xiaotian's singles ability, it's time to restore Curry's touch. In fact, it's not difficult. Curry's level allows him to shoot a few more shots, and the Warriors can afford it.

This is the confidence of a strong team, and it is also the confidence of Curry.

In the third quarter, Curry's touch really warmed up, and he was eating this bowl of rice.

However, there are more options for singles in the tactics, and the Warriors' cooperation in this game is completely invisible. At most, it is the exchange of shells between several strong points of the team, and everyone else is playing soy sauce.

This mode is relatively rare in the Warriors, but it does not mean that they cannot play.

The Jazz's offense is getting better and better. Hayward can only be said to be average under Zhang Xiaotian's marking, but Derrick Favors is stronger than Draymond Green. After all, he is much heavier than Draymond Green.

Because the Jazz can grab both insides, the Warriors also increased the playing time of the insides.

On the substitute side, the Jazz suppressed the Warriors again. Regardless of Barnes' usual doormat appearance, the Warriors' offensive power is indeed affected without him.

The key is that the Jazz defend well, and the Warriors have no chance to explode.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by 6 points, and both sides were a little tired.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Jazz Hayward, Gobert and Hood were all on the court, making it clear that they wanted to block the Warriors.

The Warriors are a strong team, and Zhang Xiaotian leads the bench alone.

The Jazz played lively for a while, with offensive rebounds and steals, but their scoring was about the same as that of Zhang Xiaotian alone.

Hayward was already a little tired, but now Zhang Xiaotian was sticking to his defense and felt extremely uncomfortable. He hit the iron several times, but Zhang Xiaotian hit him a few times.

Hayward couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that this guy is a monster, and his physical strength is getting better and better.

The Jazz coach became impatient, and replaced Derek Favors in just over two minutes. With the four main players and the sixth man who feels good, the Jazz's strongest lineup was sacrificed in advance.

Cole was very calm, watching Zhang Xiaotian being flanked, and also watching Jazz strike iron.

The Jazz's performance on the offensive end really can't blame others for pretending.
