Chapter 441: The Warriors' Tricks
On the day of the game between the Kings and the Warriors, Zhang Feng hurried to the Oracle Arena half an hour before the game started because he had to deal with a little matter at the Los Angeles Club.
Since the Kings defeated the Heat to win 26 consecutive games, the entire social network has been discussing the 'battle of the century' between the Kings and the Warriors, but as far as Zhang Feng can see, there is no congestion on the streets around Oracle Arena, and there are no scalpers scalping tickets at the main entrance, let alone fans rushing to enter the arena.
Walking into the arena with doubts, Zhang Feng found that there were not many Warriors fans who arrived in advance, scattered around the arena, there was no uniform dress, there were few signs, and the Warriors only had a few substitutes such as Nick Young in warm-up training.
In short, all signs are that the Warriors, from the players to the fans, almost no one takes the game against the Kings as a big deal, but a few commentators on the sidelines are spitting and chatting, and I don't know that I thought that the upcoming game was the seventh game of the 17-18 Western Conference Finals.
"It's really interesting, it's quite different from other teams" Zhang Feng muttered to himself, walked to the king, and began shooting training.
As soon as he got the ball, Mason leaned up to him and whispered, "Did you watch yesterday's interview?" ”
"What interview? Yesterday I was in Los Angeles for other things, and I didn't have time."
"Green said that the Warriors are a team with a foundation, implying that we are not qualified to attract their attention"
"Oh? I see," Zhang Feng shook his head and smiled, "What does it matter if you pay attention to it or not?" Besides, haven't they only grown up in the last few years? It's been rotten for so many years, what's there to be ashamed of? ”
"That's it, that is, if it weren't for their good record in recent years, they would have reached 3,000 losses a long time ago."
"Don't worry about what they say, let's play hard, hit the winning streak, hit the championship, and then discuss with them what the bottom is"
"No problem, alas, the coach let you pass," Mason reminded.
According to the usual practice, the king will hold a pre-game meeting before playing the Warriors, but yesterday Zhang Feng was not there, David canceled it, and the game was about to start at this time, so he and Zhang Feng temporarily discussed tactical ideas.
After chatting for a few minutes, the pre-game ceremony began, and the two only determined the details of the problem, as for the change in the trend of the game, such as suddenly being hit with a wave of small climax, too many fouls in a certain position of their own side, and how to solve problems such as a certain position of the opponent, Zhang Feng returned to the player tunnel at the request of the staff.
With the shouts of the live hosts, the Warriors players began to enter, and the major TV stations also began to work intensively on the broadcast.
In the TNT live room, O'Neill was yawning, and Kenny asked with a smile, "Why, watching your team, watching your favorite star play, will you still be sleepy?" ”。
"Do you still need to watch the king's game? Waking up is another victory, it's better to let me rest" O'Neill spread his hands.
"Speaking of which, this season, there have been a lot of national streams that have increased because of the Kings, and it hasn't been like this for years," Barkley lamented.
"Are you sure that the lack of team history is the reason for the Warriors?" Kenny raises an eyebrow.
"Of course, there are also reasons for the 27 win nodes. But more than that, the two teams will definitely meet in the second round of the playoffs, and fans will be looking forward to it," Barkley added.
"But it looks like the Warriors fans and players aren't taking this game very seriously," Kenny said, confused.
"Isn't that right? Knowing that most of the time you are going to lose, it is better to seem that you don't care, so if you lose, you can say that you didn't try your best, and if you win, you can say that you only used 7 percent of your strength, in short, you won't lose money," O'Neill laughed.
"You're too extreme, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams, the Kings used Scal Rasibie to defend Durant today, it feels a little weird, how do you think it works?" Kenny asked.
"I know a little bit of why, since Giles' return, the Kings have been letting Skar focus on defense, using his speed and reach to interfere with the small forward's catch," O'Neal explained.
"It's a good idea, especially against Durant, and while it's certainly still unguardable, Skar's tactical value shouldn't be limited to a single defense," Barkley said.
"Okay, the game is on, let's see how it goes"
On the court, Randolph and Pachulia battled for the ball in the middle circle, and the other players took their own positions, Zhang Feng against Curry, Bogdan against Thompson, Skar against Durant, and Love against Green.
With a "snap", Pachulia was the first to dial the ball, the basketball flew into Curry's hands, and the Warriors took the lead in attacking.
Curry took the ball across the halfcourt, Green elbowed the ball to organize the ball, Durant and Thompson crossed the running position on the left half to cover, Thompson instantly got rid of Bogdan's defense and bypassed the left side of the three-point line 45 degrees, Green immediately passed the ball over.
Seeing that Thompson was about to shoot a three-pointer, Scarr switched defenses and turned back to pounce, but catching the ball was a big trick for Thompson, and before Scarson got close, the basketball had already flown to the hoop.
With a 'bang', three points of hollow entered the net, and the Oracle Arena resounded with sporadic applause.
Yibian King attacked, Zhang Feng quickly reached the top of the arc with the ball, and then played 1 inside and 4 outside gestures, and the other King players immediately responded to the run, leaving only Lefu squatting on the right side of the low post in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Feng raised his hand to pass the ball, but Curry, Durant suddenly turned around and rushed to the bottom line, looking at the posture, it should be going straight to Lefou.
Sure enough, as soon as Lefu got the ball, he fell into the three-man trap of Green, Curry, and Durant. Coupled with the fact that he was on the baseline, there was relatively little space for him to toss and turn, and the basketball was cut by the Warriors trio in an instant.
At the same time, Thompson had already run forward early. After Zhang Feng weighed left and right, he decided to step forward and block Curry.
But what he didn't expect was that Curry didn't entangle with him at all, and handed the ball to Green, who then raised his hands to give the ball to Durant, and Durant made a long pass to Thompson directly.
At this time, there was only one Kings player defending in the frontcourt, and only Thompson was the only offensive Warriors player, and the two formed a heads-up situation.
It's no secret that Klay Thompson doesn't have a high level of offensive play with the ball, and probably he is aware of the problem, and he didn't hesitate to shoot a head-on three-pointer with Bogdan.
"Huh", another hollow hit, Thompson spread his hands, and the Oracle Arena resounded with cheers.
The king attacked again, Zhang Feng directly played a heads-up gesture in the middle line, and the momentum of the Warriors had risen, and he couldn't let it develop.
Have you ever thought that as soon as Zhang Feng was about to dribble past Curry, Durant and Thompson came up, and the two of them made a steal at the same time, one left and one right, which was not at all like a temporary idea.
There was no way, Zhang Feng could only jump up and pass the ball to Bogdan, but before Bogdan could make a move, he was changed by Green. Bogdan hurriedly passed the ball to Lefou, but Lefu was already defended by Durant in front of him at this time.
Back body, holding the ball, right foot as the axis, left foot back top, both hands holding the racket to borrow force, left foot out to turn forward, shooting, between Lefou's breath, completed a standard back body singles action.
It's a pity that under Durant's interference, he couldn't hit. Pachulia got the rebound, and the long pass was again early to Thompson, who hit another 3-pointer, and the Warriors led the Kings 9-0, and the Warriors fans at Oracle Arena couldn't hold back any longer, cheering straight to the ceiling.
"Your uncle, pretend not to care about the result of the game, but when you come up, you will cross the running tactics, and there are three people who are suddenly trapped, and all kinds of fast attacks in advance, and you actually play tricks with me, see how I clean up and blow you up" Zhang Feng secretly decided.
