The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks finished the first quarter, with the Warriors leading the Mavericks by five points at 37:32.

The Mavericks' five starters played the entire first quarter of this game, which is the playing time that he used his performance in exchange, if it weren't for this, Coach Carlisle would have started the rotation a long time ago, and today's game, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't have much hope, otherwise he wouldn't have rotated.

The 130-second break passed quickly, and the players from both teams returned to the court, and in the early stages of the second quarter, each team was normally led by a core player on the bench.

In the case of the team's large-scale rotation rest and lack of manpower, Chen Zhi has already realized that he has played the whole game, even if the performance is good, the Mavericks still have to take a rotation rest, and physical consumption is a problem that has to be considered.

Chen led Curry Jr., Quincy Essie, Mejeri, and this year's rookie AJ Hammons to the court, and the Mavericks put on a very traditional interior twin-tower lineup, which is retro considering that neither of these two interior players have long-range shooting capabilities!

However, unlike the Spurs' interior two-tower lineup, the two big men of the Mavericks are two well-deserved coolies, whose main role is to block and cover on the defensive and offensive ends.

The few players who got less playing time with the Mavericks and the cooler finally got their regular playing time.

The Mavericks, who already have a weak lineup, this lineup is really shabby to the extreme, except for Chen Zhi who has a contract with a maximum salary, none of the other players has a salary of more than three million, the highest is Curry Jr. 2.9 million, and the annual salary of Meijery and Hammons is only a base salary of hundreds of thousands.

The strength of the Warriors is undoubtedly evident at this time.

Other teams usually only have one person on the court at this time, but the Warriors' Curry and Green are both on the court, and Iguodala, the sixth man, is also on the court, with David West and McGee, this lineup is not inferior to the starters of other teams, and even more luxurious than the starting lineup of many rebuilding teams!

Curry, Green, and Iguodala needless to say are now well-known All-Star level players, and David Westner is also a former All-Star, and when he partnered with Paul on the Hornets, he averaged 20+ per game! Even though he is a little old now, he is still worth tens of millions of annual salaries, but West is a determined champion chase, giving up his tens of millions of contracts to join the Spurs and Warriors, just to get a championship ring.

That's why other teams are thrilled with this season's Warriors! The bench rotation is more luxurious than your starting line-up, how can you win this kind of game?

Facing the suffocating rotation of warriors, Chen Zhi smiled, if victory was within reach, it wouldn't be so precious!

"Hey, Seth, don't be soft on your brother, fans all over the world are watching this game right now, and they want to see how you play against Stephen." Chen Zhi said to Curry Jr., who was wearing a blue headband on his side.

Hearing this, Little Curry took out the white braces he was chewing in his mouth, revealing his trademark crooked smile, "Don't worry, will you be soft against the guy who has bullied you since you were a child?" I don't! ”

Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile, this feeling of being a brother playing on the field together, he was destined not to be able to enjoy it.

After Seth Curry finished speaking, he glanced at the audience on the sidelines, "What's more, my family is on the sidelines today, I don't like losing to Stephen, and then listening to their comfort after the game!" ”

Chen Zhi couldn't help but glance at the audience, the Warriors' splash brothers are all famous "second generation balls", and Dell Curry and Michael Thompson were both professional basketball players.

The once famous sixth man, Dale Curry, naturally appeared on the sidelines when he staged a brother-in-law duel at home, the old sharpshooter cultivated Curry, a popular supergiant in the league, and among the older generation of NBA professional players, in terms of the success of educating children, I am afraid that it is second only to Kobe Bryant's father Joe Bryant, who was also a professional player.

"Looks like old Curry prefers your brother!" Glancing at Dell Curry sitting on the sidelines, Chen Zhi couldn't help but complain to Curry Jr.

Seth Curry glanced at the Warriors' No. 30 jersey worn by the elder Curry, and couldn't help but pout and shook his head, "It's okay, my mother is wearing my No. 30 jersey!" ”

The Curry family, including Curry Sr., wore No. 30 in the NBA.

Stephen Curry's desire to attack in the first quarter of the game was not high, and Thompson felt hot, so he was also happy to be a wedding dress and constantly feed Thompson with cannonballs.

At this moment, when I saw my brother on the field, I was immediately interested.

After blocking McCaw, Curry, who was originally defending McCaw, immediately switched to the front of the library.

NBA teams' strategy for Curry on the defensive end is usually to block and change defenses, not giving him the slightest space to shoot, after all, his shooting speed is too fast!

Seeing his younger brother in front of him, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he dribbled twice on the spot and shot directly in three points!

Curry Jr. is definitely familiar with his brother's style of play, but even if he was prepared, he still didn't have time to block, the ball had already been shot, and Curry Jr. stretched out his hand.

Curry's shooting speed is too fast, the vacant shooting adjustment plus shooting time is said to be only about 0.15 seconds, and the emergency stop plus shooting time is only 0.35 seconds, referring to the league average of 0.55 seconds, you know how fast Curry's shot is!

Of course, the most powerful thing is that he is still as accurate as guidance under such a shooting speed!

After facing Curry's shot, after crossing a high arc, the hollow fell into the Nets and exploded a splash!

Moe God is still so cruel to his own brothers, no wonder little Curry said that he was bullied since he was a child!

Seeing this, Chen Zhi shook his head helplessly, it is really not easy for Xiao Curry to have such an elder brother, and he has not been abused to the point of losing his confidence in playing basketball!

It seems that Curry Jr. should be given a few more shots to give him more confidence on the court!

Chen Zhi undoubtedly controls the absolute ball possession of the Mavericks, and in this era of advocating ball sharing, Chen Zhi does feel a bit against the times.

However, Carlisle is very firm in letting Chen Zhi control the ball, after all, Chen Zhi's passing is really amazing, and the most important thing is Chen Zhi's control of mistakes, Chen Zhi's assist-to-turnover ratio is currently an astonishing 7:1, although the current Chen to data is still a small sample, with the increase in the number of games this data will decrease, but this can also be seen how far Chen Zhi's assists are against the sky.

You must know that among players who average more than 5 assists per game, the assist-to-turnover ratio reaches 2.5:1, which is already a very good statistic, and an absolutely qualified point guard player.

Chen Zhi's assist-to-turnover ratio is undoubtedly the highest level in history, and the best All-Star-level point guard Chen Zhi did before this point was Chris Paul, with a career assist-to-turnover ratio of 9.9:2.4 and only an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.1:1!

The Mavericks' on-court lineup rarely appears even in the usual team training, and it is actually unrealistic to play a smooth offensive tactic, and Chen Zhi is undoubtedly the best choice to control the ball.

Many teams in the league want to increase the number of teams passing the ball, but this is not easy, and the passing ability is a very good job of ball intelligence, and without the Warriors who can handle the ball as a team, too much passing can sometimes only cause chaos.

At this time, the Mavericks are actually very similar to the Thunder team that lost Durant this year, relying on a super point guard like Westbrook at critical moments, launching a strong breakthrough to the basket, and then finishing or looking for opportunities to share the ball depending on the situation.

Chen Zhi is naturally how the Mavericks should handle the offense at this moment, but Chen Zhi is not the only one who knows how the Mavericks should attack.

Steve Kerr also knew what the Mavericks' offensive pattern was going to be for the next few minutes, and he sat on the sidelines with a smile on his face.

Because the Warriors have no shortage of defensive strengths, whether it is Green, Thompson or Iguodala, they all have extremely strong individual defensive capabilities, and even Durant has shown strong defensive ability after his arrival in the Warriors!

Before the players came on the court in the second quarter, he had already anticipated the opportunity of the enemy, and made a good defensive deployment for the team, and Iguodala, who defended LeBron James in the finals and got the FMVP, will use his powerful body to limit Chen Zhi alone!

Iguodala, who relied on defense to get the FMVP, is it enough?

Cole clearly doesn't think so!

Many players have said in interviews that LeBron is the most difficult player to defend, and Curry's name will be frequently mentioned at this time, but recently, if any player is asked this question, I am afraid they will shake their heads and answer: Chen to!

Definitely not inferior to LeBron's strength, super ball control and speed, it's a nightmare for outside defenders!

Therefore, the Warriors' interior line has opened their pockets, McGee, West, and Green will shrink the defense line and wait for Chen on the inside! That's why he's fielding this lineup at this stage, a strong interior defense!

This defense will definitely make it difficult for Chen Zhi!

Cole's smile is a chic bearing, but also boundless confidence!

Chen Zhi took a deep breath after looking at Iguodala, who lowered his body in front of him and stared at him.

Iguodala doesn't look much thicker than other small forward players, but when you are in the right position, you will find that this guy does not have a wide skeleton, but the proportion of his body occupied by those muscle blocks is definitely higher than that of many NBA players!

This is the foundation of his ability to defend James against an FMVP, a powerful force!

Iguodala's defense is definitely not just about his body and strength, but also his speed and precision with his slices.

However, Chen Zhi was not afraid at all, but had a hint of excitement, and the top defenders would inspire the attacking spirit!

"Come on, lad, you'll soon find out what real defense is!" Iguodala stared at Chen Zhi while his mouth was not light or heavy.

Chen Zhi smiled slightly when he heard this, the ball in his left hand quickly changed direction and handed the ball to his right hand, and the step-by-step breakthrough without any fancy movements was immediately started!

Iguodala immediately stepped up closer, he was not afraid of physical confrontation, and he dared to fight against monsters like LeBron!

However, when Iguodala stepped forward, he discovered a fact that surprised him very much.

Chen Zhi's power is definitely above LeBron!

The impact on his chest made him almost breathless for a moment!

If it is said that after being hit by LeBron, it is like being hit by a truck, then Chen Zhi's impact is definitely a frontal high-speed collision of a tank!

Let the proud defense of the first brother collapse in an instant!

Almost subconsciously, Iguodala reached out and grabbed Chen's right arm holding the ball directly from behind!

Iguodala didn't mean to foul in the previous defense, but at this moment he really subconsciously wanted to make this foul, which was probably caused by the shock after his proud defense was defeated, and he wanted to use a foul to stop Chen Zhi from completing this offense!

Chen Zhi was going to rush into the inside line to attract the Warriors to shrink and pass the ball out, but the moment he felt his arm being pulled, he jumped up suddenly while exerting force, and Iguodala grabbed Chen Zhi's hand on the arm and was immediately broken free, and at the same time brought Iguodala's body to a stumbling!

The referee's whistle sounded immediately!

Chen Zhi took advantage of the situation and lifted the ball in his hand high from between his fingers!

The basketball bounced twice on the hoop and fell into the hoop!

2+1！

"Old fellow, you can't stop me!"

At this time, Chen Dao, who walked to the free throw line, responded softly to Iguodala. For this player who likes to defend and pass more than to score, Chen Zhi likes it very much, but the first brother has indeed begun to grow old, competitive sports are so cruel, as he gets older, his physical fitness declines, and the front wave is destined to be slapped on the beach by the back wave!

Iguodala rolled his eyes when he heard this, he wouldn't be provoked by some "old guy" trash talk! He felt like he had ten more years left in the league!

I can't stop this guy, it's not because I'm old and my physical fitness is not as good as before, but this guy's strength is really so strong that it can't be resisted by outside players!

Watching Chen Zhi touch his shoes twice, and then steadily put the ball in, Iguodala, who only played against Chen Zhi once, came to a conclusion with great certainty that the outside players would definitely not be able to prevent Chen Zhi! I'm afraid that after Chen Zhi collided with the Spurs' facet paralysis who won the best defensive player, the league team will fully realize this situation!

What about interior players? Can't keep up with the pace and pace!

Iguodala suddenly felt that maybe the new core of the Mavericks was really the first player in the NBA in the absolute sense! A guy who is even more unsolvable than a player like LeBron!

The next few rounds of attack and defense between the two sides completely confirmed Iguodala's guess.

Break through and hit in the stop!

Break through with a step, hit like a bomb!

After three successive successes to force Iguodala, Chen changed direction with the ball, and Iguodala had already flown back directly to the penalty area, and then could only swallow his saliva and watch Chen go to the empty position to shoot three-point!

In the three-point shot, Chen Zhi, who scored ten points in the early quarter of the second quarter, led the Mavericks to tie the score of five points behind!

As chic as Cole, he had to call a timeout at this moment!

The Warriors were stopped by Chen at the beginning of the second quarter!
