At the end of the outdoor trip with Lena and Sean In the warm spring sun, Zhang Chen returned to his room, opened the computer and logged in to the team's analysis database, which stored the game footage of most of the league's threatening players, as well as the data analysis of each team and some detailed analysis of each of their players.

The database is also an important aspect of showing how energetic a team is, and the Suns have done a good job in this regard, Zhang Chen easily called up the information of the Spurs, and then his brows began to wrinkle.

To be honest, the Suns' chances of winning this time are really not great, even Avril Avril's kind of person who can be regarded as a pseudo-fan at most can question their team, let alone the real strength. And the problem that Zhang Chen is thinking about now is the defensive player he will face this time. It's no secret that his magic with the Spurs during the Christmas game was cut off on Ginobili's head, and he was later defended against the Spurs by a rather disgusting Bowen at times.

Therefore, the quality of the ball is not equal to the character, defensive expert Bowen as the Spurs' perimeter on the front of the stagger, his defensive insidious degree makes many people in the league hate, but this person is a person who is enthusiastic about public welfare off the court, and also has a Christian faith. It's just on the basketball court -- you know.

Zhang Chen has also suffered losses from this guy before, and almost lost one foot, if nothing happens in this playoffs, he knows that he will definitely usher in the defense of that guy from Bruce Bowen.

In fact, Zhang Chen's foreboding was strikingly similar to reality, and all the Spurs players landed at Phoenix Airport, entered the hotel to rest, and soon after the group all came to the University of Phoenix in their rented arena to start training. Vicky is now holding Bowen's shoulders and saying, "Bruce, I want you to defend that Suns Rookie of the Year Mr. who often has flashes of brilliance!" Do you have faith? To be honest, whether or not we can stop him is a big question for our game! ”

Bowen nodded silently and didn't speak, the Spurs are such a muffled gang, you can hardly expect to hear their enthusiastic conversation, but although there was no sign of twitching from Bowen's throat, ** Vicky still patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then came to the center of the crowd, motioned for everyone to gather around him, and then raised his hand and said loudly: "Guys! I have to say that we are about to have a pretty good opponent! We've played against them a lot in the past two years, and I think we're the best team to talk about! Now that we know the Suns better, we can't afford to lose this game! We're going to climb up on their bones, and our goal is still to win the championship. ”

Is it hard to imagine a coach spitting stars flying on it, and his proud disciples silently listening to the lecture around him? The Spurs are like that, this group of dull guys gives people some three-thrashing can't make a cold fart, but their tactical execution is also something that no one can refute. It's an indisputable fact that the Spurs are one of the most perfect teams in the use of all kinds of tactics.

Both teams are actively preparing for the game, and the Suns are also working their side, without D'Antoni urging them, and when they have to face their arch-rivals Spurs, every player is gearing up and eager to try. Their 2-1 record against Spurs this season also gives them a lot of confidence, and of course, the quality of Spurs should not be underestimated, which is also an inescapable fact.

D'Antoni still had his assistant coach push everyone through the drills and ask questions in a timely manner, and he himself was still sitting next to the basketball court with a laptop on his stool as he looked at the screen as he studied the move-up against the Spurs. He naturally knew that Zhang Chen was probably going to face Bowen this time, so he was now thinking about ways to prevent Zhang Chen, the most fierce firepower point of the Suns, from being stuck by the opponent, and of course he had also found some ways.

It's just that these methods still have a fatal flaw, that is, this will greatly reduce Zhang Chen's free maneuver surname! Although Zhang Chen is not an offensive player with the ball, his offensive ability with the ball has also improved to a certain extent, if he is completely relegated to become a pawn in the Suns' offensive system, then his energy will definitely be greatly reduced!

Zhang Chen's high scoring is inseparable from his whimsical maneuver, and if Zhang Chen really becomes a part of a full offensive system, it is conceivable that the Suns' offensive system will also be hit hard. After thinking about it for a long time, the way he came up with it could only be to combine Zhang Chen's tactics with freedom, of course, no matter how rich and wonderful the tactics of all basketball games were, in the final analysis, it is still a war between people and people, and no matter what it is, many times it still has to return to the player's individual ability.

In the end, all tactics are still a contest between players and players, and this is the essence of the game of basketball.

D'Antoni called Zhang Chen, who was contacting the three-point shot, Zhang Chen put down the basketball in his hand, wiped his sweat with a towel and came to D'Antoni's side: "Boss, what's the matter?" ”

"Well, I think you also had some expectations, you might have to meet Bruce in this game against the Spurs? Bowen, he's a dangerous defender, you've probably experienced it...... So, in the game you have to pay attention to your own safety first, you know that he is a very dangerous guy, when you are not paying attention is probably to give him a chance, you have to worry about the black feet that may appear under your feet all the time, in short, this is a very serious matter, you need to be careful. ”

Zhang Chen nodded: "I've already thought about this issue, but since I have become a player, I should have the consciousness of becoming a player, and I will be careful myself." ”

D'Antoni patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll give you some precautions, you need to do these things in this game......"

D'Antoni gave Zhang Chen a personal consideration of the defense from Bowen that Zhang Chen may encounter, of course, things on the playing field are often fast-changing, even if you plan well before the game, you may encounter a lot of variables during the game, but it is always better to prepare before the game.

At night, Zhang Chen still practiced his ball control skills again, and his control over the slippery basketball has finally increased in the past few days, and he has been able to master some of the control rules of the slippery basketball, but this control is still relatively limited after all. But even so, when he picked up the real basketball with a real gun, he clearly felt that this kind of basketball was simply an obedient and good baby - they were much easier to control in his own hands than that.

Even Nash was a little interested in Zhang Chen's ball control, because he found that Zhang Chen's ball control skills seemed to be improving day by day, and at the same time, during the day, he could often usher in Zhang Chen's humble advice and ask Nash some questions about ball control. Nash's ball-handling skills are absolutely top in the league, and some of his words can often bring a lot of inspiration to Zhang Chen.

And Nash was a little skeptical - what the hell was going on? Zhang Chen's every technique is improving in an orderly manner, speed, shooting, every item is like that...... So, now it's the turn of possession? Nash looked at Zhang Chen's back, and suddenly felt that this guy and his face seemed to be as quiet as if they would not change, and they were elusive.

It's finally time for the night's duel with the Spurs, the Spurs and the Suns are each other's enemies, and every time they collide, they will bloom a bunch of brilliant sparks, and at the same time, every time they collide, they will always find more blood-pumping topics for the media and everyone. The meeting of these two teams is not just a simple battle for a place in the Western Conference finals, but also the most perfect embodiment of an undying tenacious fighting spirit, and it is foreseeable that their collision will be like Mars hitting the Earth.

Yesterday the Rockets were killed by the Lakers, and the last stronghold of the Chinese audience except for Zhang Chen was completely unplugged, and now only the last Zhang Chen is left active on the playoff stage. Zhang Chen's height is closer to that of ordinary people, his appearance is also the delicate type that both men and women prefer, and his autumn wind is tossing and turning elegantly, and various factors have accumulated, so that the attention of the Suns in the next game has reached a huge **.

On this day, many students left the classroom to find an old or brand new television to watch the game, looking up and hesitating, hoping that the Suns would take out the Spurs in one fell swoop. In the home game, the Suns' victory is very important, if the first game is lost to the Spurs at home, then they basically don't have to play, just wait for the Spurs to collect their bodies. Everyone knows the strength of the Spurs, especially in the life-and-death playoff battlefield, and the strength of the Spurs is even more subtle under people's eyes.

The Spurs are the biggest enemy in front of the Suns right now, and the success of this series depends mostly on the first two games, so this game is also crucial for the Suns.

While the crowd was basically in place, the Suns players were in the locker room ready to make their final preparations. D'Antoni was in the dressing room, and in the face of the dry and unusually serious face of the players, he said: "Guys! I know you're ready! The biggest enemy standing in front of us is this disgusting spur...... We've suffered at their hands before, but this time I don't think we'll be repeating it! We're going to be able to beat that team. ”

Everyone agreed, when Zhang Chen was in this team and every bit of this team, every player had been in contact for a season, he had really become a member of this team, he knew the various awards of the team, and he was clear about the situation of the team, and he also had a deep hatred for the Spurs, just like other players.

Tidy up his No. 6 jersey, NBA players' clothes are generally prepared every game, so the jersey he wears every night is basically brand new, Zhang Chen gently kissed the bottom corner of the jersey, and then heard D'Antoni walk haughtily.

Suddenly the locker room was dusty, and everyone stood up and walked towards the players' tunnel.

The player's passage is a somewhat narrow passage, a little dark here, when you walk there as if there are high-walled compounds next to you, there is an inexplicable depression here, walking along this narrow passage, just when your heart is about to be completely infected by this wordless depression, the front finally comes to the end of the passage.

Suddenly, from a dark and narrow tunnel to another world, the lights in the stadium flickered, the side of the stadium cheered, and the crowd was uniformly dressed in white home T-shirts, cheering for their team. Suddenly, that sudden mood crashes into your heart.

Then, you feel as if the air is all compressed, and the air is completely serious, and you feel as small as dust here.

That solemn solemnity, shining honor, will become a lingering pressure in the heart, this is the biggest feeling in the NBA arena, and the home court will make this feeling even better, so that you can feel the goodwill of the fans. But when you arrive at the away stadium and hear so many people saying they hate you, that kind of psychological pressure is unique.

trotted all the way into the field, and the applause and cheers of the audience only wanted to sound 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, the players on both sides jumped high, and then, the basketball was slapped in the hands of Xiao Sidi, but it did not come to the hands of the Suns accurately, but was picked by several masters next to him, and finally came to Nash, and the Spurs did not grab the jump ball and were not frustrated at all, but retreated to the half court in an orderly manner to participate in the defense, and then the Suns also ran over, After a while, the players from both sides faced off in the Spurs' half.

The air was as cold as a knife, the voices of the fans were repeated, and all kinds of sounds spread throughout the stadium, and finally converged on the players.

Nash watched the Spurs defend the formation as always, looked at the players who made the best use of everything, looked at it for a while, couldn't find a gap, and began to force a breakthrough. Defending him, Parker isn't very good defensively, and that's one of his breakaways.

Seeing Nash rushing in quickly, the Spurs players were waiting for it, but what disappointed Nash was that the Spurs players did not have some vacancy because of this, and after seeing that his breakthrough was completely ineffective, Nash himself could not continue to rush forward, and finally had to end the attack with a jumper.

He had a lot of luck today, and the first shot was a full house cheer, but the Spurs' optimized defensive lineup left Nash a little overwhelmed.

Offense and defense switched, Parker of the Spurs slowly controlled the ball, the Spurs' tactical system did not have much room for Parker's free play, and finally Parker rotated the basketball in the hands of almost all the players of the Spurs, and finally came to the hands of Duncan on the inside, Duncan was expressionless, carried Marion away, and finally used a 45-degree angle that had become unmatched after countless tempering, and the basketball obediently bounced into the basket.

The Spurs' offense took a total of 22 seconds, they played quite safely, they generally don't shoot without a big certainty, the Spurs' style of play is generally not very popular, and the offense wins fans far more than just talk. Before the start of this game, many people said that it was a battle between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, and it was up to fate to win or lose.

The Suns re-received the pass, and when Zhang Chen didn't hold the ball, Uncle Bao still looked relatively honest, and if you look at him alone, he is not a big villain.

Nash looked around and still didn't see any good shots, and when he was about to make another breakthrough for himself, he saw Zhang Chen start to run.

Bowen is a litmus test for a top forward guard in the league, and his defense also represents a height of the league, seeing Zhang Chen start to run under his nose, Bowen also defended quite carefully, he stuck to Zhang Chen like a piece of kraft candy, in short, it just didn't make him comfortable. However, Zhang Chen's current speed is far from being comparable to Bowen's, so Bowen soon found that Zhang Chen was no longer the same as the last time he fought.

This difference is mainly reflected in Zhang Chen's speed, Bowen found that the difficulty of wanting to stick to Jian Chen has increased a lot, but Bowen's defense still has a set, he can move through his own footsteps in some wonderful moments as if he preemptively predicted Zhang Chen's next move, so he can grasp Zhang Chen's position in advance, thus also resolving some of the threats brought by Zhang Chen's running.

Zhang Chen saw that he couldn't get rid of him by running alone, he had used a variety of methods such as running back, but he still couldn't get rid of Bowen, so he had to find another way, relying on his teammates and Spurs players to interfere with some obstacles, and finally look for his own opportunities. He walked around the interior for a while, bypassing Duncan's defense, and then it seemed like Bowen had been thrown off by him.

It's just that when he started to reach for the ball at Nash, he found that Bowen was catching up again, and now if Nash still passed the ball to Zhang Chen, he would face Bowen's threat, and Bowen won a defensive victory.

Nash finally chose to pass the ball to Xiao Si on the inside, and Xiao Si received the ball and got on the bar with the defender, but the moment he made his final shot was interfered with by the opponent, and the ball was back in the hands of the Spurs.

As soon as the game began, the Suns showed their decline a little.
