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

May 31st.

Portland.

Game 6 between the Trail Blazers and Lakers.

Kenny Smith said nervously: "This game is extremely critical for both teams."

"If the Lakers win the game, they will reach the NBA Finals again after O'Neal traveled east."

"The Trail Blazers won the game and they will drag the Lakers into a place of no return."

"I believe that neither the Lakers nor the fans in Los Angeles thought that this young team of the Trail Blazers could push the powerful them into such a dangerous situation."

Barkley took a deep breath and said: "For the Lakers, the series has definitely become a huge trouble at this stage."

"Brandon Luo Yin suddenly broke out in the last game, Zhang Jun strengthened his personal offense on the court, and the Lakers never guarded Zhang Jun from beginning to end."

"In the matchup with Kobe, Zhang Jun seems to have an advantage."

"The Lakers' interior defense, one of the best in the league, has little effect in the face of Zhang Jun's impact."

"With the combination of various circumstances, the Lakers are more anxious than the Trail Blazers at the moment."

In Barkley's view, this Trail Blazers team has really pushed the Lakers into a dangerous situation.

The game begins on the court.

Luo Yin continued his form from the previous game. He completed the offense under Kobe's defense time and time again, making countless people shine.

He was playing in singles with Kobe Bryant.

Lakers insider Gasol continued to attack the Trail Blazers' weak inside line. Every time he entered the inside line, he either scored two points or earned a foul.

Aldridge and Joel Przybilla tried every means to limit Gasol, but unless they double-teamed him, the effect was minimal.

The cost of double-teaming Gasol is that Bynum, the little shark inside, frequently dunks under the basket.

With Bynum's height and weight, as long as he gets the ball inside, no one on the Trail Blazers can defend him.

The first quarter of the game is over.

The Trail Blazers trailed the Lakers by one point at 27:28.

Second quarter of the game.

Zhang Jun led the bench lineup.

Facing Kobe's defense, he suddenly accelerated and rushed inside.

Kobe could no longer guard him. The longer the game between the two stretched, the more they understood each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Kobe remembered the suggestions from the team's general manager and Buss Jr. when he went to watch the NCAA game. Zhang Jun would be his best helper, and the two would join forces to lead the Lakers to create a new dynasty.

At that time, Kobe was still very unhappy about this. Zhang Jun was just a rookie. Could it be that the Lakers still wanted him to continue to grow up with these rookies?

Coupled with the fact that the younger generation of Los Angeles fans were crazy about Zhang Jun, Kobe became even less fond of Zhang Jun.

But I didn't expect that the Trail Blazers led by Zhang Jun would become the Lakers' biggest opponent in the playoffs.

Kobe even imagined that if Zhang Jun really came to the Lakers, would their combination become the Jordan + Pippen of the year.

It's a pity that everything can no longer be realized. Now Zhang Jun has become absolutely not for sale to the Trail Blazers.

"Other than the Spurs, no team has pushed us to this point in the playoffs this year."

At this moment, Kobe already regards the Trail Blazers as a strong enemy like the Spurs, and the Spurs were the NBA championship last season.

call!

Zhang Jun passed Kobe in one step. The Lakers continued to double-team Zhang Jun tonight. Even the moment he got the ball and was about to break through, Ronny Turiaf's double-team came.

Zhang Jun decisively passed the ball to Qian Ning Fulai in the bottom corner, who took an open three-pointer directly.

Duang!

"This three-point shot had a very positive trajectory, but unfortunately it hit the side of the basket and bounced directly out."

"The Trail Blazers had some bad luck."

Qian Ning Fulai was very upset that he didn't make the three-pointer. He hurried back to defense and passed by Zhang Jun. The latter patted his butt and said.

"It's okay, stay aggressive and don't hesitate next time when the opportunity arises."

Qian Ning took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

The Lakers wanted to counterattack, but Zhang Jun always blocked Kobe's side, not giving him any chance to pass him.

The Lakers failed to counterattack, and Kobe immediately entered into his singles rhythm.

Push the person with your back, step back and lean back.

Uh-huh!

"The range of Kobe's shot is really high. It's completely different from his previous shooting arc."

"That is to say, Kobe can still hit the basket in various positions and angles. This shot is not what other players are accustomed to. It is a sure shot."

Kobe, who hit this difficult fadeaway jumper, looked at Zhang Jun with his eyes fixed.

The opponent's wingspan forced him to make such shooting adjustments. In fact, Zhang Jun's defense against him was pretty good throughout the series. If it were any other player and Kobe Bryant would have broken out in the series, how could the Trail Blazers have made such an adjustment? The game was postponed to 2:3.

Switch offense.

Zhang Jun, who once again reached the inside, was double-teamed by Luke Walton this time.

After these few playoff games, the Lakers are determined to double-team Zhang Jun and never give him any comfortable offensive opportunities.

No matter who is on Zhang Jun's path, anyone can completely let go of his defender and trap him tightly.

Zhang Jun found James Jones who was open on the outside and immediately passed the ball.

The latter took action immediately after receiving the ball. The Lakers' strategy was to double-team Zhang Jun and then cover up. Although this defensive strategy will always be one step slower than the shooter, any player, even Kobe, will do it as long as he is close. Defensively.

Duang!

"Another strike!"

"The Trail Blazers' two outside shooters missed the basket for the first time, and the Lakers counterattacked again!"

Kobe held the ball and went down quickly. He took off from the free throw line and was about to attack the frame. Zhang Jun followed him and sent a pinboard block.

boom! ! !

"Beautiful nail plate cap, Zhang Jun's physical talent simply overflows the field of vision, this block is too exaggerated!"

Kobe turned around in disbelief.

"This kid, this wingspan is really a problem."

Fortunately, Luke Walton, who was chasing after him, picked up the offensive rebound and then hit a layup in the air.

The Lakers fought two defensive counterattacks.

"With one offense, one defense, one pass and one goal, the Lakers can directly expand their lead to 5 points."

"If the Trail Blazers can't score the ball, the point difference in this game will get bigger and bigger."

Next round.

Zhang Jun still chose to trust his teammates, and after the breakthrough, he once again distributed the ball to Qian Ning Fulai, who once again took an open shot.

Duang!

"It's blacksmithing again!"

"The Trail Blazers missed three consecutive outside shots. This is a very bad sign."

"If the Trail Blazers fail to make a basketball, the defensive pressure Zhang Jun will face will inevitably increase."

The Lakers counterattacked again.

Kobe Bryant, who was on a fast break, saw Zhang Jun chasing behind him, and also chose to pass the ball to the outside. The veteran fisher Fisher received the ball from the 45° three-point line on the right side.

Uh-huh!

"The Trail Blazers didn't make the three-pointers they relied on, but instead let the Lakers make them!"

"In just 2 and a half minutes, the Lakers have extended their lead to 8 points!"

"What's wrong with the Blazers' shooters!"

Off the field.

Zen Master Phil Jackson was chewing gum very calmly.

He watched the entire playoff game of the Trail Blazers and found that the Trail Blazers relied heavily on the performance of shooters when rotating the lineup. Only outside shooters can hit the basketball to the basket. Zhang Jun's breakthrough ability can be infinitely amplified on the court. power.

"But who can guarantee that his three-pointers will always hit the basket?"

Phil Jackson has had many players with excellent three-point shooting during his coaching career. He is certain that no matter how good a player is at three-point shooting, there will always be times when he performs abnormally in a game.

This is also the reason why most teams and head coaches in the league are unwilling to focus on three-point offense.

Too unstable.

Even Reggie Miller, who is now considered the most terrifying sharpshooter in NBA history, also had many games with abnormal three-point shooting.

"The Trail Blazers team relies so much on three-pointers, and one day they will pay the price for it in the game. I have to wait for this price tonight."

In Phil Jackson's view, as the series continues, the intensity of the game increases and the players' fatigue gradually increases, inaccurate shooting is bound to happen.

Phil Jackson finally got this moment, in Game 6 of the series.

The Trail Blazers attack again.

Zhang Jun knew that the team had to score at this time, so he did not pass the ball again. He also wanted to stabilize the situation for the team and teammates through his scoring.

Zhang Jun broke through and entered the paint. The Lakers double-teamed even more. They even used three-person double-teams to limit Zhang Jun's scoring. This time, Zhang Jun did not hesitate to face Luke Walton's defense and hit the basket.

boom! ! !

Zhang Jun was pulled out of the air by Luke Walton and fell directly to the floor.

The basketball had no chance to go into the basket. Fortunately, the referee called a shooting foul and Zhang Jun stepped to the free throw line.

Barkley said: "Zhang Jun's basketball IQ is really good. This time he did not choose to pass the ball to his teammates for three-pointers, but chose to hit the basket more safely."

"Whether it's scoring at the basket or drawing a foul from the opponent, this can stop the decline for the Trail Blazers."

"What's more important is that this time can also allow the Trail Blazers players to make adjustments so that they can return to shooting form as soon as possible."

Zhang Jun went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

These two points also helped the Blazers breathe a sigh of relief.

Nate McMillan looked solemn off the court. The Trail Blazers' outside shooters obviously missed their shots tonight. This kind of scene has not happened before in the regular season.

And when this happens to the Trail Blazers, they always lose more than they win.

Monty Williams reminded: "If this fight continues we will be finished."

Nate McMillan took a deep breath. The three-pointers of the Trail Blazers' outside shooters are indeed what they rely on. Throughout the playoffs until now, the outside shooters led by Zhang Jun have also been a powerful weapon in defeating their opponents.

The Rockets and the Hornets, which one of them were not completely beaten by the Blazers' one-star shooting when they rotated the lineup. If the performance of this lineup is not available now, it will be really disastrous for the Trail Blazers.

On the court.

Steve Blake also got a chance to shoot a three-pointer. He received a pass from Zhang Jun and adjusted before taking the shot.

Duang!

"Damn it!"

"Still blacksmithing!"

The Trail Blazers' perimeter seemed to be infected, and for a while no one could make a shot.

Zhang Jun had to rush to the basket at this time. Even though the Lakers had used three people to defend him at this time, there was no other way.

Because the Trail Blazers are already 10 points behind.

Seeing that Zhang Jun could still score despite being double-teamed by three people, Jackson Phil Jackson decisively took Gasol and Bynum at the same time.

He just wants to strike while the iron is hot and hit the Trail Blazers head-on during their most difficult time.

Zhang Jun faced Bynum for a layup and another dunk.

Bynum has long been accustomed to Zhang Jun's various dunks on him, and he won't even get excited.

You will naturally get angry if a player dunks you once, but if he dunks you several times in every game, it is obvious that there is no need for you to get angry again.

"Although Zhang Jun scored this goal again, the Lakers' restrictions on him were obviously getting bigger and bigger, and the score was about to be completely widened."

Buckley couldn't help but say.

In the middle of the second quarter, Nate McMillan remembered to replace Channing Fletcher and James Jones, who were no longer intimidating, and replaced Aldridge and Luo Yin.

But at this time, the Trail Blazers were already 15 points behind.

At the end of halftime, the Trail Blazers were still 12 points behind.

Entering the second half of the game, Luo Yin and Zhang Jun worked together. Zhang Luo connected again and Zhang Jun even knocked Kobe down on the court.

With the outstanding performance of the two men, the Trail Blazers had narrowed the point difference to 8 points at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Zhang Jun and Kobe Bryant started their individual performances. They fought each other and refused to give in.

In the end, this game that should have attracted much attention has been firmly controlled by the experienced Lakers.

Zhang Jun looked at the less and less time. He tried hard to chase points for the team, but as long as he scored two points, Kobe or Gasol could always respond immediately.

At this moment, Zhang Jun felt powerless for the first time that his offense was far from enough, and his offense also lacked explosive power.

In the last minute, the Trail Blazers trailed the Lakers by 6 points, 104:110.

The Lakers began to press time.

Kobe spent time controlling the ball outside the three-point line, and Zhang Jun concentrated on defense, but Gasol suddenly put up a pick-and-roll and interrupted the matchup between the two.

Kobe hit a mid-range shot after taking advantage of the pick-and-roll, which was a perfect ending to the game.

In the last 25 seconds, coach Nate McMillan called a timeout, stood near the technical table, stretched out his hand, and high-fived every player on the court.

Aldridge, Joel Przybilla, Brandon Luo Yin, Jarrett Jack, Zhang Jun.

"Guys, I'm not good enough, you've already played well, I didn't lead you to win the game."

"After the game is over, please give your opponent a heartfelt hug. The Lakers won with dignity and dignity, and they deserve to win this series."

"Boys, you are all still young. I believe we can make a comeback next year."

Nate McMillan's last words directly touched Aldridge's tears. He sat on the bench with red eyes, covering his head with a towel, and suddenly burst into tears.

Zhang Jun lowered his head and took a deep breath, and then took another hard breath, but no matter how hard he tried to adjust his emotions, the big stone in his chest just couldn't fall away.

At this time, the older Luo Yin hung his arms on the shoulders of Aldridge and Zhang Jun. He encouraged them with a smile.

"Hey, we made it to the Western Conference Finals this year, what's so sad about that."

"This is the first year for the three of us together, and believe me, we will be on this stage again next year, the year after, and many years to come."

"We're going to beat the crap out of this Lakers team."
