NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker

The second quarter begins.

Zhang Jun held the ball from the outside, and the Hornets asked Julian Wright to defend Zhang Jun individually.

Raise your hand, start, break through!

Off the field, Hornets head coach Byron Scott frowned when he saw this. He did not expect that Julian Wright would be passed by Zhang Jun in one step.

Was that Julian Wright, the Hornets' second-ranked defender inside and outside, being passed over?

Zhang Jun's breakthrough ability and speed shocked Byron Scott's whole body and mind.

Fortunately, Bunch Wells was on the weak side to help defend. The moment Zhang Jun broke through, Bunch Wells pounced on him like a little tank.

boom!

This collision not only blocked Zhang Jun's attack, but almost knocked him to the ground.

"Bunch Wells is too strong."

Monty Williams couldn't help but say.

Nate McMillan said: "He is 196cm tall but weighs 100kg. What do you think?"

Monty Williams took a breath of cold air. This Bunch-Wells was much shorter than Zhang Jun, but he was as heavy as the opponent. No wonder the impact was so great when he pounced on him.

Zhang Jun did not choose to hit the ball hard, but quickly transferred the ball to James Jones on the weak side.

The knife falls from the hand!

Uh-huh!

"Hit!"

"The Trail Blazers gunner can't miss the three-pointer, but it seems that tonight the Hornets are planning to prevent Zhang Jun from giving him an easy chance to score. They would rather let the Trail Blazers' outside shooters try their hand."

Kenny Smith shouted excitedly.

Barkley agrees with the Hornets' defensive strategy.

Three-point shooting is an offensive method with a very unstable shooting rate. You may bloom more tonight, or you may all become ice shooters. After all, it is too far from the basket. This is not recognized by most old-school coaches. Offensive style.

Barkley had already expected that the Trail Blazers would like to play with one star and four shots like this, and they would always have to give up their three-pointers when encountering a dominant team in the playoffs.

No, the Hornets are coming.

Switch offense.

The Hornets' offensive threat dropped significantly after losing Paul, and even having David West on the court at this time did not change this.

David West plays Fulai in isolation. His low post steps are excellent, his post-up skills are also very solid, and more importantly, he has a good mid-range shot.

This makes it very difficult for Fo, who is not good at defense, to face David West.

Insider Travis Outlaw stepped up and double-teamed to help defend, and the Trail Blazers' overall defense was very small.

This is a big problem for the Hornets.

Although their outside tank Bonchy Wells is strong and has fierce defensive abilities, he is very ineffective on the offensive end, especially when it comes to shooting.

Bonzi Wells's 38% field goal percentage this season, coupled with 14% three-point shooting percentage, is almost an outstanding blacksmith.

So when the Trail Blazers defended the Hornets' offense, they were almost defending 5 against 4 on the court, which was very comfortable.

Offensively.

Zhang Jun's breakthrough still encountered a double-team from Bonci Wells and Julian White, and he passed the ball when there was a double-team.

Fletcher's first three-point shot bounced off the basket, but he immediately found his touch and hit two three-pointers. Steve Blake performed well tonight and also made 2 of 4 three-pointers to attract the attention of the defense. force.

"The Trail Blazers' lineup is almost entirely filled with pitchers. If the Hornets defend this one, they will leave the other one empty, unless you choose to defend Zhang Jun alone."

Kenny Smith said carefully.

Barkley shook his head repeatedly and said: "Only defending against Zhang Jun?"

"In the playoffs so far, I have never seen a player who can guard Zhang Jun alone. He is the league's scoring leader this season."

In the middle of the second quarter, Byron Scott, who had just reacted, quickly replaced Paul, but Bunch Wells and Julian White were still left on the court to continue to consume Zhang Jun's energy.

At the end of the half, the two teams were tied at 55:55.

The third quarter of the game.

Both teams once again had the starting lineup.

It's just that the Blazers' offense at this time was transferred from Luo Yin to Zhang Jun.

Defending Zhang Jun is Peja Stojakovic.

Before Zhang Jun started to break through, Peja Stojakovic was so nervous that he stepped back repeatedly until he was two steps away from Zhang Jun.

Barkley couldn't help but said after seeing this scene: "Obviously Peja Stojakovic didn't play against Zhang Jun very much, otherwise a defender like him should take three or even four steps back. That’s right.”

Snap!

While Barkley was speaking, Zhang Jun had accelerated his breakthrough. Peja Stojakovic was passed by in two steps and could not react at all. Zhang Jun's breakthrough was fast and fast, and his breakthrough steps were very wide. Where was Peja? -Stojakovic can keep up.

He quickly shouted: "Tyson!"

Boxing champion Tyson Chandler rushed over directly, raised his hands on Zhang Jun's defensive line in two steps, and raised his hands high at the same time.

Tyson Chandler knows very well that with his height and wingspan, Zhang Jun will definitely pass the ball when he sees him coming. This is his deterrent power in the interior.

call!

Zhang Jun accelerated twice during the breakthrough and took off step by step in front of Tyson Chandler.

"What!"

"What does he want to do?"

"Duck me!

! "

boom!

!

Tyson Chandler was knocked back repeatedly, but Zhang Jun had already completed a frame-mounted dunk.

"You kid!"

Zhang Jun glanced back at Tyson Chandler and said: "I won't do a layup in front of you, I will only dunk you!"

Tyson Chandler was startled. He felt that this sentence was very familiar. It took him a moment to realize that this was not the trash talk he had made against Brandon Luo Yin of the Trail Blazers in the first half. So now this kid Zhang Jun Are you back?

"You are so damn vindictive!"

The game continued. Zhang Jun once again singled out Peja Stojakovic. This time, the latter learned the lesson and retreated directly to the free throw line. Even if you watch Zhang Jun shoot a three-pointer, he will never let you kill easily again. to the basket.

What a three-point shot!

Zhang Jun suddenly accelerated while holding the ball and still broke through. Peja Stojakovic had already retreated so far, but as long as Zhang Jun was close, there would be another breakthrough without any surprises. Got him.

"I can't guard against this damn big yellow rat!"

Peja Stojakovic was so angry that he almost cursed. Zhang Jun is tall and has a long wingspan. He is so fast and his breakthrough steps are so good. How can he defend against this guy? .

Insider Tyson Chandler pounced again, and this time he concentrated on helping to defend Zhang Jun very seriously.

Turn your back while walking, lean back, and dunk on the spot!

boom!

Tyson Chandler's head was buzzing, and he suddenly shouted: "This kid doesn't slow down when he breaks through and turns around?"

"You don't need to slow down when you break through and turn around?"

Switch offense.

Chris Paul broke through to the basket and scored a floater to stabilize the score for the team.

In the next round, Zhang Jun encountered a double team outside the three-point line in advance, and he immediately gave the ball to Luo Yin on the weak side.

The defensive pressure faced by the latter suddenly dropped, and Luo Yin took an open shot from the mid-range.

Uh-huh!

Come in too!

All! All!

Hornets head coach Byron Scott quickly called a timeout. If the game continued like this, the Trail Blazers would soon open up the score.

"I want you to double-team Zhang Jun. Don't even let him catch the ball. Get him out of the offensive zone quickly. I don't want to see him score again."

Byron Scott angrily slapped the tactical board on the coach's bench and said angrily that he should stop being a human being after being beaten like this by a rookie player.

The game continues.

Zhang Jun encountered strict defense from the entire court. At this time, he decisively handed over the ball to his teammates.

Aldridge hit two consecutive points from the mid-range, and then cut into the basket and dunked. Luo Yin's three-pointer from the outside further made the Hornets pay the price for their defensive strategy.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers still played a good game. The 11:3 offensive high slot directly helped the team gain a double-digit lead.

During this period, Zhang Jun hardly participated in any offensive links, and there were always two defenders in front of him to double-team and help defend him.

But his teammates stepped up at this time and won the game.

In the fourth quarter, Paul wanted to step forward and lead his team to take the lead, but the connection between Luo Yin and Zhang Jun directly blocked their thoughts.

"112:104."

"The Hornets failed to get a good start at their home court, which is bad news for them, and how to defend Zhang Jun is also a big problem."

At the on-site commentary desk, Barkley reminded: "In the last round of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets, they almost used the single defense of Chuck Hayes or Sean Battier on the outside, and Yao Ming and Dickey on the inside. Cambey Mutombo’s help defended Zhang Jun.”

"The result is that Zhang Jun averaged 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in that series, shooting 55% from the field."

"The Hornets obviously chose another defensive strategy. They restricted Zhang Jun's personal offense throughout the game, so that the opponent scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists in this game, almost scoring a double-double."

"You know, Zhang Jun is not an excellent passer. He can still pass 9 assists in a single game. You can imagine how well the other players in the Trail Blazers played."

"The Trail Blazers sent out a total of 24 assists tonight! Luo Yin scored a game-high 30 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Aldridge had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. The team hit a total of 12 three-pointers. ball."

"When the Trail Blazers play such an efficient overall offense, I can't think of anyone who can stop them."

Post-game interview.

Paul didn't look very good after losing. He said seriously: "We will watch the video of tonight's game after the game. We will find out where the problems are and we will solve them."

Byron Scott also took the initiative to take responsibility after the game and said: "Our offensive performance was not bad, but we did a very poor job on the defensive end. We allowed the Trail Blazers to score high points and restricted Zhang Jun. It took a lot of effort to score.”

"We will make changes for the next game."

............

Trail Blazers locker room.

No one seemed particularly excited about winning a game. Luo Yin was sitting in his seat with ice on his knees and ankles respectively. Aldridge was talking about the upcoming second game, and Francis was analyzing with Zhang Jun. Here are some details of Paul's passing and dribbling.

Nate McMillan was very pleased to see this scene.

"Our players have become very mature after experiencing the last series, and they have improved very quickly."

Monty Williams agreed: "If we came home with a two-game advantage, that idiot Steve Patterson would be laughing his head off."

Nate McMillan couldn't help but laugh. It was obvious that he loved the nickname Steve Patterson.

...........

The second game started soon.

Compared with the previous game, the Hornets obviously made a lot of adjustments in this game.

They followed the excellent strategy from the first quarter of the previous game, letting Maurice Peterson pester Luo Yin to consume the opponent's energy, while letting Tyson Chandler inside to help defend.

Luo Yin played more tired in the first quarter than in the previous game.

Zhang Jun tried to take over the offensive ball several times but was rejected by the opponent.

"Brother, use your strength at the final moment. Now I will support the entire team's offense!"

Luo Yin was knocked to the ground several times during the breakthrough process, but he always chose to get up and continue to do it. Then he passed the ball to Aldridge and Zhang Jun to seize the game in the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers fell behind 26:30.

The Hornets played a very efficient offensive efficiency in the first quarter. Peja Stojakovic hit three consecutive three-pointers in a single quarter, which made Zhang Jun no longer dare to help defend at will. The Hornets' many points blossomed from this. out.

David West and Chris Paul faced the Trail Blazers, a mid-to-lower defense in the league, and they almost asked for anything in the paint, and they could complete the offense however they wanted.

Second quarter of the game.

The Hornets followed the Rockets' defensive strategy against Zhang Jun and no longer easily used double teams. They relied on Bunchy Wells on the outside and Tyson Chandler on the inside to help defend.

This is very painful for Tyson Chandler. This guy is obviously an inside player, but now he has to play at the same level as Zhang Jun, an outside player. The physical exertion can be imagined.

boom!

Zhang Jun made another tomahawk dunk from Huashan and rode Tyson Chandler in.

Tyson Chandler almost got angry because of Zhang Jun's dunk. "I just glared at your brother. Do you need to dunk me?"

Live commentary desk.

Kenny Smith watched with blood boiling and said: "Tyson Chandler, with his height of 216cm, he thinks he can stop everyone at the basket. I'm afraid he doesn't know that Yao Ming was dunked 3 times by Zhang Junqi in the last round of the series. indivual."

"Even the little giant Yao Ming can't hold this guy up. How dare you, Tyson Chandler, yell at him?"

In the second quarter, the Hornets achieved their strategy. They defended the Trail Blazers to only 3 of 9 from the perimeter in a single quarter.

Both quantity and production have suffered a sharp decline, but Zhang Jun broke out in this quarter, making 8 of 13 in a single quarter, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points.

Zhang Jun's outstanding performance made Byron Scott, the head coach of the Hornets, squat on the ground and was helpless.

Halftime is over.

The Trail Blazers overtook the score 58:52.
