MTL - NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker-Chapter 143 You know 10 years earlier than me

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】

"But we still have offense!"

Rick Adelman said very confidently.

It's not a big problem if they can't guard Zhang Jun. In fact, the Rockets have nothing to do with Zhang Jun, so they might as well fight against the Blazers.

on the pitch.

The Rockets attack.

Yao Ming got the ball inside again.

Kenny Smith and Barkley at the commentary stand looked over intently.

They know very well that whether the Rockets can win the game tonight, or even win the entire series, depends on whether they can handle the next offense.

"Four-team!"

"The Trail Blazers get four-teamed!"

Zhang Jun, Travis Outlaw, Channing Fry, and James Jones shrank the inside line, but Steve Blake participated in the defense on the outside line alone.

Steve Blake's defensive position is also very detailed. He is positioned at the middle free throw line. This position can quickly rush to help defend the players on both sides and the middle, but misses the bottom corners on both sides.

However, Zhang Jun and James Jones double-teamed Yao Ming's positions, and they were the two closest points to the bottom corners on both sides.

In other words, as long as Yao Ming passes to the bottom corners on both sides, the two will rush over quickly. If Yao Ming passes to the top of the arc in the middle, Steve Blake will go out to make up first, and the insiders Zhang Jun, Channing Fry, and James Jones He will rotate and assist defense as soon as Yao Ming passes the ball.

"This is a great test of the defensive player's foot movement and defensive awareness."

Kenny Smith said with a frown.

He was a little surprised that the Trail Blazers could make defensive adjustments so quickly, and the position of every player on the field was very clear.

Barkley reminded: "Don't forget that the Trail Blazers' second team is one of the best teams in the league with weak interior defense, but at the same time they are also a team with a very fast rotation defense."

"They are not good at defending the inside, so they use four-man defense to block Yao Ming, but at the same time their flexible footwork can make up for the cost of such a desperate defense."

Yao Ming scored the ball to Steve Novak at the top of the arc, and the latter made a three-pointer against Blake's defense.

Swish!

The entire Moda Center arena was suddenly quiet, and this ball was like a stadium silencer, shocking everyone in place.

"Steve Novak hit the three and he's on Blake's defense."

"The height gap between the two is too big, and Blake's defense is negligible against Steve Novak."

Zhang Jun was also a little surprised on the court.

Although he had already been reminded by Fry that Steve Novak was a very accurate three-point shooter, it was indeed beyond his expectations to be able to shoot so resolutely and make a hit as soon as he came up. .

"It's okay, keep defending like this!"

Zhang Jun's shout gave confidence to all his teammates on the field.

Turning his head, he changed direction sharply continuously and shook Steve Novak out of the way, and then scored a breakthrough layup.

Zhang Jun began to frequently consume Steve Novak's defensive stamina on the offensive end, and the opponent was also a type of player who was not very good at confrontation.

And now Zhang Jun, after encountering opponents' confrontation throughout the regular season, he is now a player with very good confrontation ability.

So in the matchup with Steve Novak, he can completely press the opponent with his body.

next round.

The Rockets did it again, but this time Steve Novak's shot just missed.

The Trail Blazers took advantage of the situation and counterattacked. Zhang Jun went to the free throw line under the basket one step at a time.

Immediately afterwards, Steve Novak missed his second shot. The more the Rockets relied on Steve Novak's three-pointer, the more they were targeted by the Trail Blazers.

Steve Blake, too, has been staring at the opponent. Although he is short and can't prevent Novak's shots, he can interfere with his center of gravity when he catches and shoots.

The Trail Blazers fought back again.

Zhang Jun quickly broke through and scored the ball, and James Jones hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to stop the game.

"The Trail Blazers have hit three in a row and the Rockets' footing is shaky."

"Yao Ming, he can't be prevented!"

"Every goal of the Trail Blazers is to play fast. Their current flexible lineup is particularly good at playing fast. The disadvantages of big centers on the court are fully revealed."

Barkley looked shocked.

Once upon a time, the league has been dominated by the four major centers, but in recent years, the big centers in the league have gradually declined and lacked the inside dominance of the year. Only one Yao Ming is still struggling to support, guarding the league No. 1 The name of the center is not recognized by most people.

On the contrary, Tim Duncan of the Spurs and Wolf King Garnett of the Celtics, these former power forward players are now frequently pushed to the center position.

Compared with traditional centers, they are physically flexible enough to even come out on the court to switch to the outside line, or they can quickly retract to assist in defense.

Their defensive coverage on the court is far from being comparable to that of a big center like Yao Ming.

"In that era, most of the inside players had rough skills. Even a player like Rodman who only had physical talent and no basic basketball skills could become an All-Star or even a championship-level player."

"But now, it will be more and more difficult for players with talent but no skills and abilities to enter the NBA, because they are completely unable to adapt to today's basketball environment.

"The current inside players can shoot, run, and jump, and some are even as sensitive as guards on the court, so the defensive role of the center will gradually be weakened."

"On the contrary, the kind of flexible big players, such as Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, have become the most terrifying insiders on the court."

All! All!

The Rockets called a timeout again during this time period.

Rick Adelman stared at Zhang Jun and wanted to kill him. The key to his killing intent is that he really knows how to play on the court, and he is completely pointing at the Rockets' weaknesses.

"If Zhang Jun scored with an extremely difficult layup or shot, would I call a timeout? Of course not."

"If the Trail Blazers had to fight Zhang Jun desperately every round, would I call a timeout? No, this is what I want to see instead."

"But every round of the Trail Blazers' offense is playing fast, they are all playing against Yao Ming's inability to defend, and they are all playing against Steve Novak's weakness in defensive footwork on the court. This is what I have to say. The reasons for not calling a timeout and never believing what you're seeing."

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】

"One or two goals can't kill people, but one or two weaknesses of the opponent team can be found, but the whole series can be won!"

Rick Adelman took McGrady and Battier, two of the Rockets' biggest perimeter shooting threats, and pushed Steve Novak to power forward.

In this way, the slow pace of Steve Novak, who plays the inside position, will not be specially targeted by Zhang Jun, and at the same time, the threat of Steve Novak's outside line remains.

"But isn't the Rockets playing the same offense as the Trail Blazers?"

"So they're going to fight for three points again now?"

Sure enough, the Rockets began to use Sean Battier to defend Zhang Jun, and at the same time they asked many people to help defend in the paint.

They want to use this to reduce Zhang Jun's points to the outside line, and at the same time limit his breakthroughs and mid-range shots.

However, Zhang Jun has already experienced such a defensive strategy countless times in the regular season. When the Rockets took this defensive strategy in the last game, he had already cracked it.

Swish!

Zhang Jun first made a mid-range shot, then asked for a pick-and-roll, and Yao Ming was singled out by outside roll call.

After Yao Ming was pulled out, the entire defensive system of the Rockets collapsed, and they also began to defend indiscriminately, frequently missing outsiders.

"The Blazers' outside shooters are blooming again."

"Although McGrady, Battier, and Steve Novak of the Rockets also scored goals, they are far less powerful than the Trail Blazers in terms of deterrence and effect. Are they going to lose a single quarter of this game? score?!"

Kenny Smith said a little speechlessly.

It also echoed Barkley's words, as long as the Rockets can't defend the Trail Blazers' second team, they will really be beaten to death by this youth army.

In other words,,,..version. 】

In the pre-match review, everyone agreed that the Rockets are fully capable of defeating the Trail Blazers, but now, they are almost scored 2:0.

Barkley suddenly reminded: "Don't forget one more thing, the Rockets got Tracy McGrady and Battier ahead of time, but the Blazers' Royne and Aldridge haven't got it yet!"

"Now Rick Adelman can still use the strategy of taking McGrady and Battier in advance to stabilize the situation, so what about the second half? Do the three of them still need to rest?"

At the end of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers have overtaken the score 61:58.

In the third quarter, the Rockets continued to take their own starting lineup, but Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Battier did not get enough rest time throughout the game tonight. They were really exhausted.

The Trail Blazers are full of energy and fighting spirit. After all, they have ten players in the rotation, while the opposing Rockets have nine players.

Zhang Luo's connection is here again.

Luo Yin became the main attacker on the court during this period of time. Zhang Jun cooperated with air cuts and counter runs, and at the same time did his job on the defensive end.

The two first received dunks in the air, and then counterattacked fast breaks.

Zhang Jun threw the ball into the sky without looking at anyone, and Luo Yin galloped in and dunked with both hands. This ball directly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the entire Moda Center arena.

"mvp!"

"Mvp!

"

Under the cheers of the fans in the audience, the Trail Blazers played a wave of rampage in the third quarter, scoring 31:22 in a single quarter, and the point difference was once again stretched to more than 10 points.

"The Rockets are done."

"Being behind by 10 points again, this game is even more difficult than the last one, because Yao Mai's physical strength has already had a big problem."

"Can McGrady still start a confrontation with Zhang Jun like the last game?"

"I don't think so."

In the fourth quarter, the other players of the Rockets wanted to stand up and help the team, but they didn't make too much splash about Zhang Jun's killer quality at the critical moment.

118:110 The Trail Blazers won the game again.

"It's 2:0!"

"The Portland Youth Army leads the Houston Rockets 2-0, and they have played two consecutive home games."

"The location of the next battle will be moved to Houston, and this youth army is about to face its first away game."

"I think Houston fans are ready to attack this team, and they're waiting for the Blazers to go."

"The next match will be held in two days!"

Trail Blazers locker room.

Nate McMillan held up his right hand and said: "Guys, you played two perfect games, and you beat a strong team in a row."

All the players on the Trail Blazers walked over with their hands held high, and their hearts were exactly on the same point at the moment.

Nate McMillan continued: "Now we will move to Houston, and I want to remind you that the Rockets want to tear us apart for the away game."

"We have to be fully prepared mentally and physically."

Luo Yin shouted excitedly: "They won't have a chance, we have completely defeated the Rockets, in all directions."

"Brothers, let's play two more rounds and get close to the next round in one fell swoop."

.........

Post-match interview.

The performance of Zhang Jun and the Trail Blazers was once again praised by the reporters. They even started to join the Trail Blazers again, thinking that they are the team that should be closer to the second round.

Zhang Jun is speechless, you didn't say that before the series started!

"This is the media reporters and guest commentators. They have the right to say anything, even if they are wrong, it doesn't matter, because they have the right to change their views at any time."

"Zhang Jun, you have to learn to keep a clear head, and get rid of any distracting thoughts in the playoffs, and don't let outside words interfere with you."

"Because, you are the most important player in this team~www.novelbuddy.com~ Francis reminded.

Since Francis became Zhang Jun's designated veteran, the former has taught him a lot. Of course, the passing that the team most hopes Zhang Jun can learn from Francis has not effectively improved.

After all, Francis is not strictly a point guard who is good at passing the ball, so he can teach Zhang Jun very little passing ability, just some basic passing skills and exercises.

On the contrary, Francis taught Zhang Jun a lot of game experience on and off the court, which he never had.

"Francis, I will not be disturbed by these external factors. My brain is very clear now."

"I want to complete a personal duel with McGrady, and I want to lead the Trail Blazers to win this round of the series."

"This is my goal!"

Francis couldn't help laughing out loud.

Dude, your personal duel with McGrady is to be at the top, right?

Francis doesn't know how to say that Zhang Jun is sober in the world. Others always put the team first, but this guy is good. He always puts himself and his teammates first.

What team is not the team, according to him, the team is dead but people are alive, we live to live things, not to die.

Francis didn't even know how to refute Zhang Jun, because what the other party said was indeed reasonable.

"This is also the truth I learned after wandering around several teams, Zhang Jun, you understand it ten years earlier than me."
