246 against the Spurs!
The outdoor trip with Lena and Sean ended in the warm spring. Zhang Chen returned to his room and turned on the computer to log in to the team's analysis database, which stored the game videos of most of the threatening players in the league, as well as the data analysis of each team and each of their players. Some detailed analysis.
The database is also an important aspect of the energy of a team. The Suns have done a good job in this regard. Zhang Chen easily called up the information of the Spurs, and then began to frown.
To be honest, the Suns' chance of winning this time is really not good, that is, people like Avril, who can be regarded as fake fans at most, can question their team, let alone their real strength. And the problem Zhang Chen is thinking about now is the defensive player he will face this time. It is well known that his magic on the head of the Spurs during the Christmas war was cut off on Ginobili's head. Later, in the game with the Spurs, he suffered quite a surname-specific defense, and the person who defended him was sometimes the rather disgusting Bowen.
So the ball is not equal to character. Defense expert Bowen is a striker on the front line of the Spurs. His insidious defense makes many people in the league hate him very much, but this person is an enthusiastic person for public welfare outside the court, and he also has a Christian faith. It's just on the basketball court - you know.
Zhang Chen has suffered this guy's loss before and almost ruined one foot. If there is no accident in this playoffs, he knows that he will definitely usher in Bruce Bowen's defense.
In fact, Zhang Chen's ominous foreboding is really surprisingly similar to reality. After all the players of the Spurs landed at the Phoenix Airport, they kept entering the hotel to rest. Soon after, a group of people came to the stadium they rented at the University of Phoenix to start training. Popovich is now holding Bowen's shoulder and saying, "Bruce, I want you to defend the best rookie of the Suns, who often has a flash of inspiration! Are you confident? To be honest, whether he can be prevented is a big problem for our game!"
Bowman nodded silently and didn't say anything. The Spurs are such a muffled gang. It's hard to expect to hear their enthusiastic dialogue, but although there was no sign of ** from Bowen's throat, Popovich still patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then came to the center of the crowd to show Everyone gathered around him, and then raised his hand and shouted, "Guys! I have to say that we are going to have a pretty good opponent! We have been with them many times in the past two years. What kind of team are they? I think we have the most say! Now that we know more about the Suns, we must not lose this game! We are going to climb up on their bones, and our goal is still the final championship.
Is it hard to imagine a coach spitting on it, and his proud disciples listening silently around him? The Spurs are like this. This group of dull guys give people some cold slaps, but no one can refute their tactical execution. It is an indisputable fact that the Spurs are one of the most perfect teams to use various tactics.
Both teams are actively preparing for the game, and the Suns are also training hard without the supervision of De Anthony. When they have to face their old enemy Spurs, every player is eager to try. Their record against the Spurs this season is 2 wins and 1 loss, which also makes them feel full of confidence. Of course, the strength of the Spurs should not be underestimated, which is also an unavoidable fact.
D'Antoni still asked the assistant coach to urge everyone to train and ask questions in time. He was still sitting next to the basketball court, with a laptop on the stool. While looking at the screen, he was studying the deployment of the Spurs. Naturally, he also knew that Zhang Chen was probably going to face Bowen this time, so he is now thinking about a way to prevent Zhang Chen, the most fierce firepower point of the Suns, from being stuck by his opponent. Of course, he has also found some ways.
It's just that these methods still have fatal defects, that is, this will greatly reduce Zhang Chen's free mobile surname! Although Zhang Chen is not an offensive player with the ball, his offensive ability has also improved to a certain extent. If he is completely classified as a pawn in the Suns' offensive system, his energy will definitely be greatly reduced!
Zhang Chen's high score is inextricably related to his tymboyant mobile surname. If Zhang Chen really becomes a part of the whole offensive system, it can be imagined that the Suns' offensive system will also be hit hard. After thinking for a long time, the only way he came up with can be to combine Zhang Chen's tactics and freedom. Of course, no matter how rich and wonderful the tactics are, it is still a human-to-human war in the end. No matter what it is, it still has to return to the player's personal individual ability.
All tactics are still the competition between players and players in the end, which is the essence of the basketball game.
D'Anthony called Zhang Chen, who was contacting Zhang Chen for a three-point shot. Zhang Chen put down the basketball in his hand and came to D'Anthony while wiping his sweat with a towel: "Head, what's the matter?"
"Well, I think you have some expectations. You may meet Bruce in this game against the Spurs? Bowen, he is a dangerous defensive player. You should have experienced it... So, you should first pay attention to your safety in the game. You should know that he is a quite dangerous guy. When you relax, it is likely to give him a chance. You have to worry about your feet all the time. Black feet can appear. In short, this is a very serious matter. You need to be careful.
Zhang Chen nodded: "I have considered this problem, but since I have become a player, I should have the consciousness of becoming a player. I will be careful myself."
D'Antoni patted him on the shoulder: "Well, when I tell you some precautions, you need to do this in this game..."
D'Anthony gave Zhang Chen a personal consideration of the defense from Bowen that Zhang Chen may encounter. Of course, things on the field are often changing rapidly. Even if you plan well before the game, you may encounter many variables in the game, but it is always better to be prepared before the game.
At night, Zhang Chen still practiced his ball control skills again. In the past few days, his control over the slippery basketball has finally increased. At these times, he has been able to master some of the control rules of this slippery basketball, but after all, such control is still relatively limited. . But even so, when he picked up the real basketball, he clearly felt that this kind of basketball was simply an obedient baby - they were much more difficult to control in their own hands than that.
Even Nash is a little interested in Zhang Chen's ball control, because he finds that Zhang Chen's ball control skills seem to improve day by day. At the same time, he can often welcome Zhang Chen's modest advice during the day and ask Nash some questions about ball control. Nash's ball control skills are absolutely top in the league, and some of his words can often bring a lot of inspiration to Zhang Chen.
And Nash also has a little doubt - what the hell is going on? Every skill of Zhang Chen is improving in an organized and progressive way. Speed, shooting, and every item is like that... So, now it's the turn to control the ball? Nash looked at Zhang Chen's back and suddenly felt that this guy and his face seemed to be calm and elusive.
Finally, there is a duel moment with the Spurs at night. The Spurs and the Suns are endless enemies of each other. Every time they collide, there will be a bunch of gorgeous sparks. At the same time, each of their collision can always make the media and everyone find more bloody topics. The meeting between the two teams is not only as simple as competing for a place in the Western Conference finals, but also the most perfect embodiment of the tenacious fighting spirit. It is foreseeable that their collision will be a scene of Mars hitting the earth.
The five sets of Tianchao Sports are still the full live broadcast of the game. Yesterday, the Rockets were killed by the Lakers, and the last stronghold of the Chinese audience except Zhang Chen has also been completely removed. Now there is only one Zhang Chen who is active on the playoff stage. Zhang Chen's height is closer to that of ordinary people. His appearance is also a beautiful type that both men and women like. His autumn wind is tossing and turning elegantly. Various factors have accumulated, which has attracted a huge attention to the Suns' next game.
On this day, many students left the classroom and found an old or brand-new TV to watch the game. They looked up and stabbed, hoping that the Suns could kill the Spurs in one go. In the home game, the Suns' victory is quite important. If they lose to the Spurs at home in the first game, they basically don't have to play, just wait for the Spurs to collect their bodies. Everyone knows the strength of the Spurs, especially on the life-and-death playoff battlefield. The strength of the Spurs is even more vivid under people's eyes.
The Spurs are now the biggest enemy in front of the Suns, and the victory of this series mostly depends on the first two games, so this game is also crucial to the Suns.
When the audience was basically in place, the Suns players were also ready to go in the locker room and began to make their final preparations. In the locker room, D'Antoni said to the players with an extremely serious face: "Guys! I know you are ready! The biggest enemy standing in front of us is this disgusting Spurs... We have suffered losses under their hands, but this time I don't think we will ever make the same mistake again! We will definitely be able to defeat that team.
Everyone agreed that when Zhang Chen was in this team and the team, and every player had been in contact with each player for a long season, he had really become a member of the team. He was clear about the team's various awards, and he was also clear about the team's situation. He also has a deep hatred for the Spurs, just like other players.
I sorted out his No. 6 earth jersey. NBA players' clothes are generally a new set for every game, so the jersey he wears every night are basically brand-new. Zhang Chen gently kissed the bottom corner of the jersey, and then heard D'Antoni leave proudly.
Suddenly, the dust flew in the dressing room, and everyone stood up and walked to the player channel.
The player's passage is a somewhat narrow passage. It's a little dark here. When you walk there, it seems to be a high-walled courtyard next to it. There is an inexplicable depression here. Walking along this narrow passage, just when you are about to be completely infected by this silent suppression in your heart, the front Finally, I came to the end of the passage.
In a moment, from a dark and narrow player channel to another world in an instant, the eyes suddenly opened up, the lights flashed in the court, the side of the court cheered like a tide, and the audience wore white home T-shirts neatly, and they cheered for their team. Suddenly, that suddenly cheerful mood suddenly bumped into your heart.
Then, you feel that the air in this place is compressed. The air is completely serious, and you seem to be as small as dust here.
That kind of solemn solemnity and shining honor will become a lingering pressure in the heart. This is the biggest feeling in the NBA field, and the home court makes this feeling better, so that you can feel the goodwill of the fans. But when you arrive away from home, you hear so many people hate you, and that kind of psychological pressure is also unique.
He trotted all the way into the court, and the applause and cheers of the audience only sounded for him at this moment. This supreme glory is the cemetery where many players live.
In this game, the players on both sides were not easy. After the game just started to jump the ball, all the players on both sides jumped high. Then, the basketball beat in Xiao Sidi's hand, but it did not accurately come to the Suns' hands. Instead, several tall people next to them picked it several times, and finally came to Nash's hand, and The Spurs did not grab the jump ball and were not depressed at all. Instead, they returned to the half-court in an orderly manner to participate in the defense, and then the Suns also rushed to the ground. After a while, the players of the two sides confronted in the half of the Spurs.
The air is as cold as a knife, the voices of the fans ** rise one after another, and all kinds of voices spread in the stadium, and finally gather with the players.
Nash looked at the Spurs punching to the defensive formation as usual, looking at the players who tried their best, and couldn't find a gap for a while, and now began to break through. Parker, who defends him, is not very good at defense, which is also one of his breakthrough gaps.
Seeing Nash rushing into the inside, the players of the Spurs were ready, but what disappointed Nash was that the Spurs players did not create some vacancies because of this. Seeing that his breakthrough was completely ineffective, Nash himself could not continue to rush forward, and finally had to end with a jump shot. Attack.
He was lucky today. The first goal was to win the cheers, but the Spurs' optimized defensive lineup made Nash a little unable to do it.
In the offensive and defensive conversion, Parker of the Spurs slowly controlled the ball. The Spurs' tactical system did not have much room for Parker's free play. In the end, Parker rotated the basketball in the hands of almost all the players of the Spurs, and finally came to Duncan on the inside. Duncan was expressionless and carried Marion away, the most After countless refinements, he used an accurate 45-degree angle to play the board, and the basketball obediently bounced into the basket.
The Spurs' attack took a total of 22 seconds. They are quite safe to play. If they are not sure, they will not take action. The Spurs' style is generally not very popular, and the attack to win the fans is far more than just words. Before the start of this game, many people said that this was a battle between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield. Success or failure is up to fate.
The Suns received the pass again. When Zhang Chen did not hold the ball, Uncle Bao looked relatively honest, and from his appearance alone, he was not a big annihilation.
Nash looked around and still didn't see any better mobile phone meeting. When he was about to make another breakthrough, he saw Zhang Chen start to run.
Bo Wen is a touchstone of the top defender of the league. His defense also represents a height of the league. Seeing that Zhang Chen began to run under his eyes, Bao Wen also guarded quite carefully. He was like a piece of cowhide candy sticking to Zhang Chen. In short, he did not make him comfortable. However, Zhang Chen's current speed is far from being compared with Bao Wen, so Bao Wen soon found that Zhang Chen was different from the last time he had a fight.
This difference is mainly reflected in Zhang Chen's speed. Bao Wen finds that the difficulty of posting nervous Chen has increased a lot, but Bao Wen still has a set of defense. He can move through his own steps in some wonderful moments, as if he was the first to predict Zhang Chen's next move, so he can It is enough to grasp Zhang Chen's position in advance, which also resolves some of the threats brought by Zhang Chen's running position.
Zhang Chen saw that pure running could not get rid of him. He had used a variety of methods such as back running, but he still couldn't get rid of Bowen, so he had to find another way to rely on his teammates and Spurs players to carry out some interference, and finally find his own mobile phone. He wandered around the inside line, bypassed Duncan's defense, and then it seemed that Bowen had been thrown away by him.
However, when he began to reach out to Nash for the ball, he found that Bowen had caught up again. Now if Nash still passed the ball to Zhang Chen, he would face Bowen's threat. In this way, Bowen won a defensive victory.
Nash finally chose to pass the ball to the insider. After receiving the ball, he got into a fight with the defender, but he was disturbed by his opponent at the moment of his last shot, and the ball returned to the Spurs.
As soon as the game began, the Suns showed their decline.
