Chen Zhi led the Mavericks to tie the score with a rainbow of morale, forcing the Warriors to call a timeout, but Warriors coach Kerr still had a chic and elegant demeanor on his face. Ｘ

It seems that no matter what situation the team is in, the elegant coach who stepped into the coach's seat and led the team to the championship will not panic in the slightest, and probably only when he expresses his dissatisfaction to the referee will he show a hysterical roaring face.

Kerr thought that the team's defensive arrangement for Chen Zhi was already in place, and even Iguodala was broken through one after another It was not surprising, after all, McGee, Green and others on the inside were supplemented.

But he didn't expect that Chen Zhi, who has always liked to go to the basket or shoot directly outside the three-point line, would shoot mid-range projections one after another, just on the weakness of the Warriors' defensive line just now.

If the internal and external defense system cannot limit Chen, then come to the third layer!

Green looked at the defensive drop-down map on the board, which was similar to a 2-1-2 combination, and now his responsibility on the defensive end was to set up a second line of defense near the free-throw line, followed by a third line of defense for McGee on the inside.

With Iguodala on the outside projection, interference by himself in the mid-range, and McGee under the basket for the final interception, Kerr's defensive adjustment can be said to be completely aimed at Chen Dao!

Even if LeBron faces such a defense, I'm afraid he will have to be very inefficient.

Joint defense has always played a poor role in the NBA, and the more open field and more vigorous comprehensive physical fitness make it difficult for the joint defense to make a difference, and the defense is often full of loopholes, so even if the joint defense is in place, it has to frequently become a man-to-man defense, because the NBA players' personal ability is too strong.

However, Kerr just now deliberately told the whole team to defend the joint defense, and the rest of the Mavericks can let go as appropriate!

All this is just to completely lock Chen Dao! It is clearly using the strength of the whole Warriors team to defend Chen Zhi alone!

Although the Warriors didn't limit Chen Zhi enough on the defensive end just now, they didn't have any problems on the offensive end, and used a classic figure-8 offensive tactic after returning from a timeout.

McGee and West were on either side of the free throw line, Curry and McCaw began to intersperse the run, Curry outside the three-point line on the right side first cut to the basket with West's cover, and then cut from under the basket to the other side, and cut outside the three-point line again with McGee's cover, and McCaw was also doing the same run on the other side at the same time.

Green, on the other hand, holds the ball in the high post and reads for opportunities to share the ball.

This tactic can be said to be the Warriors' home strategy, which can create opportunities to cut to the basket and outside threes on the run, and can form four screens in a short period of time.

Once the opponent focuses on the two three-pointers who are interspersed with runs, the two players who stand on the pile to cover can also see the opportunity to cut to the basket.

Even Green, who has the ball, can steal a three-pointer, there are so many offensive options, and there are many offensive options that will appear almost at the same time, as long as a point of defense is not in place, there will be offensive opportunities, which is simply unguardable!

Chen is naturally no stranger to the Warriors' tactics, which is the focus of Carlisle's coaching staff's defensive layout before the game, but the defensive effect is still not good.

West's first cover did not interfere with Chen Zhi substantially, Chen Zhi quickly chased Curry to the other side, seeing that Curry's action was to bypass McGee and cut to the bottom corner, Chen Zhi did not choose to continue to follow Curry, but chose to pounce directly to the bottom corner first!

However, Curry turned directly and took a step to the side of the left wing three-point line, Green's pass arrived immediately, and Curry's three-point shot hit it again!

Seeing this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but shake his head. Curry's running position just now was indeed very coquettish, in the off-ball running, relying on his feet and center of gravity to create a tangential feint to the bottom corner, this feint was very realistic, Chen Zhi even thought that he had predicted Curry's movements in advance!

However, once he follows Curry to defend, I'm afraid he will really get around McGee and cut to the bottom corner.

What's more, Chen Zhi found that Big McKee was ready to cover on the way to defend Curry, and even erected his elbow, according to that height, Chen Zhi had no doubt that if he really rushed straight over, he would eat an elbow on his neck! In the NBA, this kind of action is not rare.

McGee can be said to be very clean when he played with the Wizards and Nuggets before, but after he arrived at the Warriors, his defensive experience has been better, and he has more and more small moves, probably not less influenced by scum and Green.

The Mavericks launched an attack, Chen Zhi held the ball, glanced at the Warriors' position, and couldn't help frowning, I am afraid it will not be so easy to score as easily as just now. Iguodala has two supports behind Green and McGee, without the worry of being forced to break through, and it is difficult for him to get a chance to shoot outside, after all, although his three points are accurate, but his shot is not as fast as Curry, with his current declining three-point shooting rate, the forced shot shooting rate will be so low that he can't accept it.

Maybe you should trust your teammates at this time, Chen Zhi couldn't help but think so. After all, the Warriors' defensive arrangement is too obvious for themselves, Green stood directly on the side of the free throw circle, and Quincy on the wing was almost directly empty.

In the face of the Warriors' defensive posture, Jordan is coming, and if you want to break through, you have to weigh it again, in fact, passing is the best choice at this time, as long as your teammates can shoot the ball, not to mention that Chen Zhi is a point guard, in the face of this defensive posture, it is common sense to choose to pass.

At the moment when Chen pretended to break through with the ball, he passed the ball to the bearded Quincy Esy on the wing as much as possible. The NBA's rotation and defense speed is extremely fast, don't look at Quincy Essi being directly empty, as long as he passes the ball over, someone will definitely make up for the defense quickly after that, and the opportunity to vacate the position will not be too long.

Quincy received the ball outside the three-point line, but did not shoot directly, his three-point shot was indeed not very reliable, just the moment he hesitated slightly, West's supplementary defense was about to be in place, and Quincy's hasty shot after that ended in iron.

After the Warriors protected the backcourt rebound, they immediately launched a counterattack, and Green passed the ball to Curry, who reached the three-point line in the frontcourt, and the latter directly chased the three-point shot!

Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, the missed shot didn't mean anything, but Quincy was too hesitant to catch the ball, and it was obviously impossible to hit the shot efficiently, so he could only give the opponent a chance to constantly counterattack.

And the Warriors' counterattack is even more terrifying than other teams. Others counterattacked to the basket, and the Warriors directly counterattacked by 3 points, giving them a counterattack rhythm, just waiting for the loss.

In the next few rounds, Chen Zhi still tried to divide the ball, but in this team's bench lineup, only Curry Jr. hit a three-point shot and a mid-range shot, and the others did not score a point.

Coach Carlisle saw the situation on the court, and couldn't help but regret that he was too completely rested this time, if Matthews was in the No. 3 position at the moment, and could still have some three-point threats, the Warriors might not be able to target Chen so thoroughly!

Chen Zhi has the ability to force breakthroughs, but he has never played a breakthrough of a tendon, no matter how strong his scoring ability is, in his heart, the first thing to position himself is a point guard, scheduling and organizing on the court is the primary task, seeing empty teammates, there is a kind of obsessive-compulsive general passing**.

However, there are always times when teammates really don't feel good and can only stand up and score on their own, and now is obviously the time to pass the ball to a teammate who seems to have an open opportunity but can't hit the shot, I'm afraid the difference will go to 20.

It has to be said that Kerr's defensive adjustment this time was very successful.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh a little, although these young players like Mavericks have been practicing harder and harder recently, it is obviously impossible to see results in a short period of time. It's just that even if you want to score, in the face of the Warriors' targeted defense, it is too difficult to complete the offense with the ball.

However, it is obviously impossible to completely block Chen Zhi's score.

The successful defensive strategy of the Warriors will naturally not be easily changed, but after his teammates missed the vacant positions one after another, Chen Zhi still passed the ball to his vacant teammates inflexibly, which made many commentators disagree with Chen Zhi's choice in the live broadcast.

However, in another round of offense, Chen easily passed Iguodala, who was unrelenting and did not let go, and after attracting Dream Green to make up for the defense, he once again chose to pass the ball to the bearded Quincy Essi, who was outside the three-point line on the left side.

Quincy Essi received Chen Zhi's pass, and he felt a little surprised, he didn't expect Chen Zhi to trust him so much! This time, he was extraordinarily decisive!

The basketball crosses a parabola in the air and heads straight for the basket! But looking at the arc of the ball flying in the air, there is a good chance that it will go into the basket.

Chen Zhi saw the curve of the basketball after Quincy Esie's shot, but he suddenly started running towards the left corner!

This ball arc looks good, but it ends up hitting the outside of the basket! The basketball is still in flight, far from touching the frame, but Chen Zhi has already made a rough prediction of the landing point and rebound position of the basketball!

The other players on the court are still paying attention to the flying basketball, and McGee, Mejery and other interior players of the two teams are stuck in each other's positions, preparing for the possible rebounding ball!

Iguodala is even very sophisticated and ready to steal the front court early! Regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, he appears early in the front court and can form a fast attack opportunity!

The basketball reached the vicinity of the basket in an instant, hit the outside of the basket with a bang, and then bounced straight out.

McGee, who was in the position of the basket and Mejerry, reached out to the basketball due to Mejerry's interference, but failed to pick up the rebound because the basketball rebounded too high.

Chen, who rushed to the left mid-range early, easily got a frontcourt board in the no-man's land, and then hit a mid-range jumper to hit two points!

"Ahh The shot hit! Chen Zhi was lucky, picked up a frontcourt board and hit the shot! The ball fell directly into Chen Dao's hand, and luck couldn't stop it! The Penguin Sports commentator's voice was full of obvious surprise, and he was obviously happy to see that Chen Zhi accidentally picked up a frontcourt board.

The media commentators around the world who broadcast this key game are laughing and sighing that Chen is lucky, and the rebound ball bounces directly into his hands.

All eyes were on the basketball after Quincy Esy made a shot, or on the battle for the spot under the basket, and very few people noticed Chen Zhi's weird run a moment before the other players at that moment!

"Watch for rebounds!" Kerr stood up and reminded the Warriors players on the court, still with an elegant and chic smile on his face, in his opinion, for this accidentally lost rebound, shouting such a voice to remind him is enough.

It was just the events of the next few rounds that quickly made Cole's smile disappear from his face, replaced by a frown and a look of incredulity.

He found that in these rounds, Chen Zhi grabbed nearly half of the rebounds in these rounds! Two of the frontcourt balls were converted into points directly through the second offense, and one of the two backcourt rebounds was successfully converted into a fast-break score!

If Chen Zhi is an inside player, this is not a big deal, after all, inside players have a dual advantage in height and position for grabbing rebounds, and it is also said that grabbing these rebounds in a short period of time is also in the past.

But Chen is a serious little point guard! This is definitely something out of order! Cole frowned, wrinkles forming on his forehead.

"Do you feel like the rebound ball is automatically falling into Chen's hand?" Kerr couldn't help but say to Mike Brown, the Warriors' chief assistant coach next to him.

Mike Brown shook his head incredulously, "You also found this, these rebounds are definitely not as simple as this kid's luck!" If it weren't for the interior player under the basket who grabbed a few rebounds in the first place, I feel like all the rebounds would have been taken by this kid! ”

While the two were talking, Durant hit a three-pointer on the front of the basket, which was a little short, hit the bottom of the front line, and bounced straight to McGee under the basket.

McGee immediately dodged subconsciously, and anyone who faced this kind of basketball that bounced directly at the door would close their eyes and dodge, and they didn't even have time to dodge.

McGee also subconsciously closed his eyes, a big player like him was too close to the basket, and it was difficult to dodge in this situation.

After an extremely short moment, Daji found that the basketball did not hit him in the face, and on his side, Chen Zhi had already put the basketball in his hand at some point, and the Mavericks immediately began to quickly switch offense and defense!

After the Mavericks' fast break was successful, Kerr did not hesitate to call a timeout, and at this time he had to emphasize rebounding protection! Because he found that Chen Zhi's prediction of the landing point of the rebounding ball was simply amazing!

It's just that even so, it is still impossible to effectively restrict Chen Zhi from "picking up the board", and often when the defender wants to card Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi has already moved elsewhere and waited for the rebound to fall into his hands!

Under the Warriors' targeted defense and Chen to the magical pick-up, the Mavericks and the Warriors ended up in a brief equilibrium, after the Mavericks returned to the court with a few starters with good hands, the difference finally gradually narrowed, and at halftime, the Mavericks finally caught up with the score, and the two teams finally tied in the first half!

During halftime, Chen Zhi was interviewed by ESPN for a short time, and the host was amazed by Chen Zhi's successive magical rebounds in the second quarter. ”
