Chapter 133 Zhang Jinshui and the Hardcore Fans on the Sidelines
"No problem!" Zhang Jinshui took the basketball and said with a chuckle: "All the movements before shooting are absolutely silky and smooth, and they are done in one go, but whether you can make it or not depends on whether God will give you face!"
"Okay, come on." Sprewell clapped his hands, then accelerated forward, and ran to the left corner with Eddie Jones, who was marking him, to stand guard.
Zhang Jinshui stopped near the middle circle with the ball first, waved his hand, and let other teammates run to the outside line to help him open up space.
At this time, although the lead of the Grizzlies has changed from 10 points to 4 points, the momentum of the Grizzlies fans in the stands is still high. pressure.
However, in the past period of time, Zhang Jinshui, who once killed the Heat and Pistons, is an absolute big heart, and his mentality will naturally not be affected in any way.
He stared at Bobby Jackson, who raised his hand in front of him, and said with a smile: "Look, I promised to let my elder brother Sprewell see my step-back three-pointer at the buzzer, and you happened to have a long experience. "
With a look of disdain on his face, Bobby Jackson curled his lips and said, "Do you think shooting a three-pointer is a slam dunk? Go in if you want? Please, don't think that your trick is so great. I've already studied it thoroughly, let it go!"
At this point, the timer shows only 10 seconds left.
Zhang Jinshui laughed and said, "Then I'm here."
Then, he dribbled the ball, advanced to the top of the arc step by step, and began to continuously score goals with his left and right hands. However, Bobby Jackson's figure did not move with Zhang Jinshui's change of hands.
It seems that Bobby Jackson has really carefully studied the video of Zhang Jinshui's step-back three-pointer, and he has successfully grasped the key to the defensive style: as long as his center of gravity is not changed by Zhang Jinshui's left and right and forward The sudden retreat is shaken away, so when Zhang Jinshui retreats and jumps up to shoot, he can stick up to interfere with Zhang Jinshui's shooting.
However, Zhang Jinshui is not stupid.
With a sneer, he rushed towards Bobby Jackson's right, and observed that Bobby Jackson controlled his subconscious and did not move to the right. Better than Jackson's defense.
And the other Grizzlies defenders, obviously thinking the same as Bobby Jackson, all acquiesced that Zhang Jinshui would use a step-back three-pointer to end the final attack.
After they were pulled to the outside by their respective Rockets players, they were not ready to defend the inside at any time.
Facing the Grizzlies inside with the middle goal wide open, Zhang Jinshui deliberately slowed down, Shi Shiran came to the basket, then jumped up lightly, and easily put the ball into the basket.
With a long whistle of "beep~~", the first quarter of the game also ended at this time.
22 to 24, Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets narrow the gap to two points.
The stands of the Pyramid Stadium, which had been noisy for a whole section, finally became quiet at this moment.
"Zhang Jinshui, this ball is so clever!"
Sprewell rushed over excitedly and jumped high.
Zhang Jinshui also jumped up, collided with Sprewell in the air, and said with a smile: "Just now, in front of some Grizzlies defensive players, you yelled for me to shoot three-pointers. Naturally, you helped me confuse them , can't I hear it?"
"Hahaha, that's what I thought!" Sprewell laughed and shook his head, obviously very happy because of the tacit understanding of his teammates.
A player who has averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.5 steals per game for many seasons, but as the team's first force helped the Knicks complete the miracle of black 8 and reached the finals all the way, if he is only regarded as A basketball reckless, that would be taken for granted.
Zhang Jinshui and Sprewell walked back to the bench together. McGrady, Yao Ming and others immediately stood up to meet them and gave them high fives.
"Good shot, Zhang Jinshui!" After finishing speaking, McGrady turned his head and said excitedly: "Sprewell, I like your passion on the court, let's give the Grizzlies some color in the second quarter. "
"No problem! Their fans are too noisy, I must shut them up today. Brothers, come on!" Sprewell sat down and shouted carelessly.
I have to admit that the Rockets were able to sign Sprewell with a one-year veteran contract, which is definitely a treasure!
Van Gundy showed a motherly smile on the side. After all the players sat down, he adjusted his expression, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Everyone, we didn't play well in the first quarter, but it was also expected. , After all, our team has just completed the upgrade of the lineup, and it still needs time to run in.
Therefore, everyone, don’t be under pressure. If you want to play tactically, you should play tactically. If you need to play singles, you should play singles. I don’t pay much attention to winning or losing this game. But for you, I only have one request. Even if you lose, don’t lose your confidence. We have only one goal this year, the championship! "
"No way, absolutely can't lose, I don't want to run around."
Sprewell immediately jumped up and yelled, which made Zhang Jinshui, Yao Ming and others couldn't help laughing.
This basketball maniac seems to have a natural magic power, which can relieve the pressure of the players around him while enhancing his teammates' desire to fight.
Even Sean Battier, who had been silent all this time, had a clear expression on his face.
As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the intermission, McGrady stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted: "Brothers, in order to prevent the foster brother from running around, let's win the Grizzlies!"
Seeing Sprewell roll his eyes at him, Zhang Jinshui laughed loudly. He followed Yao Ming and others and shouted: "Win the Grizzlies!"
In the second quarter, Zhang Jinshui stayed on the sidelines to rest according to the rhythm of the game that the Rockets had long been accustomed to. McGrady and Sprewell brought Uncle Mu, Uncle Huo and Lutherhead back to the court.
The Grizzlies also replaced the main players such as Pau Gasol and Mike Miller early.
Through the game in the first quarter, it can be seen that the overall defense of the Grizzlies is quite good. Although they are more or less suppressed in the matchup with Yao Ming, McGrady and Zhang Jinshui, they have the strength of Pau Gasol. The absolute strength is the pain point that the Rockets cannot solve now.
Grizzlies coach Mike Fratello is very clear that if he wants to win the game against the Rockets, he must let go today and use up Pau Gasol like a mule.
At the moment, Pau Gasol, who is in the explosive period of his career, has lived up to Mike Fratello's expectations.
As soon as he played in the second quarter, he once again showed his strength on the offensive end, and successfully singled Uncle Huo in the interior, helping the Grizzlies to open the point difference to 28 points again with 22 to 6.
Afterwards, McGrady was silent for 6 minutes in the first quarter, and McGrady, who was going to kill the Quartet in this quarter, finally stopped being soft in the face of his friend Mike Miller's defense.
He first received Alston's pass from the outside twice in a row, jumped straight up, and hit two completely unreasonable three-pointers.
Then, he pretended to shoot the third pull-up three-pointer. After tricking Mike Miller into jumping up, he directly rushed in with the ball. After attracting the help of other defenders, he passed without looking The ball was passed to Sprewell who followed up inside.
The latter directly followed the gap in the Grizzlies' inside defense and went in, completing a one-way dunk.
Between McGrady and Sprewell's joint play, the Rockets once again clenched the score.
If it weren't for Pau Gasol's offensive performance to be more efficient than in the first quarter, the two have even helped the Rockets overtake the score.
Six minutes into the second quarter, when all the main players, including Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui, returned to the court, the Rockets were still only 6 points behind the Grizzlies 35-37.
Since then, the Rockets began to re-focus on Yao Ming's offense.
However, after allowing Yao Ming to score the first 10 points of the Rockets in the first quarter, Mike Fratello no longer dared to give Yao Ming such a large offensive space, and immediately signaled the Grizzlies to cover Yao Ming. folder.
After Yao Ming tried to attack the basket against White and Atkins' double-team and failed, he began to return the ball to Zhang Jinshui, but Zhang Jinshui failed to pass the ball and directly directed the ball to McGrady.
However, the Grizzlies' perimeter defense consisting of Mike Miller and Eddie Jones, whose real strength is much higher than its reputation, has begun to reduce McGrady's offensive success rate.
At the same time, Pau Gasol is still invincible on the offensive end. Even if he failed to beat Chuck Hayes once, the basketball that bounced out of the frame was rushed and snatched by Grizzlies center White.
Surrounded by Yao Ming and Battier, White narrowly handed the ball to Pau Gasol for a slam dunk.
当第二节的比赛进行到第9分钟的时候，保罗加索尔已经10投8中，罚球2罚2中，拿下了18分6篮板，另外还送出了3记助攻，帮助灰熊队再次以43比37领先了火箭队6分。
At first glance, the point difference between the two sides was infinitely narrowed when the bench lineup was used, and it was constantly widened when the main lineup was used. The Rockets' main lineup seemed to be completely defeated by the Grizzlies.
In the stands of the Pyramid Stadium, the enthusiasm of the Grizzlies fans has risen to a new height. They continue to cheer for the Grizzlies, and many fans even gave the shout of "mvp" to Pau Gasol.
As far as the performance of the game so far is concerned, Pau Gasol's performance is indeed overwhelming Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jinshui.
However, some arrogant Grizzlies fans sitting on the sidelines continued to tirelessly send trash talk to Sean Battier, and even began to satirize Zhang Jinshui who had stood up for Sean Battier at the end of the first quarter.
"Huaguo boy, have you started to lose your mind after playing a few good games? This game is to let you know that you are just a lucky little trash."
"Zhang Jinshui, I counted for you. In this game, you made 3 of 0 three-pointers, hahahahaha."
"See, Huaguo trash, the defense of our Grizzlies is to let you expose your true strength."
......
Frankly speaking, so far in this game, Zhang Jinshui's performance is definitely not good.
In the first quarter, he barely ran out of the open three-pointer twice, once received a point from Yao Ming who was double-teamed inside, and made a total of three shots from outside the three-point line. Minutes, scored 2 points by 2 breakthroughs.
After another breakthrough shot in the second quarter, Zhang Jinshui only made 6 of 2 shots in this game, scoring 4 points and 1 assist.
However, such poor technical statistics, on the one hand, are indeed related to the fact that the Rockets have just changed their lineup and are still in the "run-in period" and their running tactics are not strong.
On the other hand, it was also because Zhang Jinshui did not take the initiative to take up the banner of offense.
Although Zhang Jinshui is bound to win this game, he originally planned to deliberately reduce his presence on the offensive end in the first half. On the premise of ensuring the number of offenses of Yao Ming and McGrady, he will give more opportunities to represent the Rockets for the first time. The team played Sprewell and Sean Battier to help them better integrate into the Rockets' game rhythm.
But the attitude of the Grizzlies fans made Zhang Jinshui a little bit intolerable.
Especially the one who is making the most noise on the sidelines is the fat pig man who was shut up by Sprewell before. Seeing that Sprewell was not on the court, he started to pass by Zhang Jinshui again. Sometimes he shouted loudly.
Zhang Jinshui tried his best to suppress his anger. After taking the ball into the frontcourt, he made a pick-and-roll gesture to Yao Ming.
Facing White's misplaced defense, Zhang Jinshui triggered the second usage limit of the golden breakthrough badge [Best Route], and used [Lightning First Step] to rush directly from White's right hand.
Then, under the guidance of the green guide line, he jumped past Pau Gasol's supplementary defense, rushed to the basket in two steps, and jumped high to complete the layup.
39 to 43, Zhang Jinshui scored his third sports game score in the first half, and at the same time narrowed the point difference on the court to 4 points.
When returning to defense, Zhang Jinshui deliberately passed by the fat pig man, pointed at him and said, "Shut up!"
"Cut, what are you talking about?" The fat pig man looked disdainful, obviously not taking Zhang Jinshui seriously: "Didn't you claim that you can shoot three-pointers accurately? If you have the ability to score a three-pointer, you next If you score three points in the round, don't just shut up, you can let me bray like a pig."
At this time, before the Grizzlies sent the ball out, Zhang Jinshui stopped in front of the fat pig man, stared at the fat pig man coldly, and said, "Okay, in the next round, I will hit a three-pointer and let you learn from the pig." Yell, and shut up."
"Okay, as long as you can come in, I'll call you and shut up." The fat pig man twitched with pride.
In his opinion, no matter what the final result of this bet is, he has successfully influenced Zhang Jinshui's mentality.
Just as Zhang Jinshui was about to turn around and leave, several fans next to Fat Pig Man booed and said, "It's not fair, you scored like a pig in three points, and if you didn't score in three points, you just pretend nothing happened ?"
Zhang Jinshui smiled coldly, and said: "How about this, if you enter, you will all learn from pigs, if you don't enter, I will stand here and learn from pigs."
