MTL - NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker-Chapter 112 Zhang Luo Connection

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

"Tonight you will face the Rockets with the combination of Yao and McGregor. Do you think the team can win?"

portland.

The local fans are frantically celebrating their first win of the new season. In addition to the reason why the Trail Blazers won the Lakers, the biggest competitor in the playoffs, there is also Zhang Jun's outstanding performance on the court.

"We're going to win the game."

"The Rockets were the fifth-ranked team in the Western Conference last season. Their winning percentage was as high as 67%, but we will win the game."

"This year's Trail Blazers team is stronger, and we also got the No. 1 pick Zhang Jun."

"This season is the Blazers' season."

Moda Center Arena.

The fans took their seats in advance, and they couldn't wait to appreciate the performance of the players, even if it was just a warm-up.

Zhang Jun is doing shooting training. His three-point shooting was not very good in the last game. He has a hunch that the Rockets may continue the Lakers' defensive strategy against him in the last game, and let him only attack from the outside as much as possible.

"Hey, Ah Lian sent me a message saying that he met a nice guy in the NBA, and he still said, it was you, right?"

Yao Ming deliberately walked to Zhang Jun's side to say hello, and said, "It's .

McGrady also told Yao Ming after watching the NCAA game that he met a player who looked like a Chinese, and he said it slyly.

Yao Ming didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Yi Jianlian say the same thing, he became very curious.

"I know a little bit, and there is definitely no problem communicating with you."

Zhang Jun said the same, then handed the basketball in his hand to Yao Ming and said, "Do you want to make a three-pointer too?"

Yao Ming shrugged his shoulders and said something not very funny Yao style humor.

"I've made a three-pointer once in my career. I can shoot a three-pointer. Look."

Duang!

Basketball is outrageous, almost non-stick.

Zhang Jun pursed his lips and said, "Not scored, this goal was not scored, Dayao, did you really score a three-pointer in the game?"

Facing Zhang Jun's ridicule, Yao Ming smiled embarrassingly.

McGrady walked over and patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder very excitedly and said: "I heard that you beat Kobe last night. Dude, I am so happy. How did you knock him down? Can you teach me?"

Zhang Jun said grumpily: "That guy already scored 45 points, I beat him up, it's almost as good as being beaten up by him."

"Next time I have to continue to find a way to beat him again."

Hearing this, McGrady was happier, and he thought so too.

On the bench, Randolph, who had already warmed up, looked at Zhang Jun, who was chatting happily with the two superstars of the Rockets, and couldn't help but snorted softly.

"Really good at licking, others are superstars and you are a rookie, licking like crazy!"

The big screen at the scene showed the starting lineups of the two teams.

The Trail Blazers are regular starters.

Rockets starting lineup: point guard Ralph Alston, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, small forward Shane Battier, power forward Luis Scola and center Yao Ming.

Game start.

Although Yao Ming has a good height, his jumping ability and speed are not strong, so Randolph won the offensive ball in the first round in the jump ball.

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

The Trail Blazers were attacking, and coach Nate McMillan arranged the tactical strategy of the insider Randolph's main attack in the first round.

Jarrett Jack hit the ground and passed the ball inside, and Randolph singled Yao Ming with his back.

One library!

Didn't move!

Erku!

Still not moving!

Last season, Yao Ming has successfully gained weight, and his current weight has reached 141kg. Compared with Yao Ming, Randolph, who is 118kg tall and big, is almost a circle smaller.

"Randolph, who is good at playing with strength and body, is a little bit deflated when he meets a traditional heavy center like Yao Ming."

Kenny Smith commented.

Barkley expressed his views very professionally at this time.

"Yao Ming is most afraid of flexible centers, such as Stoudemire of the Suns and Boozer of the Jazz, like Randolph or Howard of the Magic. Meeting Yao Ming is really embarrassing."

"As O'Neal is getting old, it is almost difficult for the centers of all teams in the league to limit Yao's name. This is also the reason why his scoring data exploded last season."

on the pitch.

Randolph, who was resisted by Yao Ming, couldn't make it, so he could only take a step back and choose a mid-range shot.

Duang!

was disturbed.

Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound.

The Rockets attack.

Ralph Alston advanced quickly with the ball. After encountering the double defense of Jarrett Jack and Zhang Jun, he lost his fast break opportunity. He began to stop and wait for his teammates.

McGrady was positioned at a 45° angle at the top of the arc. At this time, Yao Ming returned to the frontcourt and played an outside pick-and-roll with McGrady.

winter!

Yao Ming's pick-and-roll quality is very good, and his big body almost completely blocks Luo Yin.

Randolph had to switch to McGrady.

Randolph continued to hit the ball in advance to find the rhythm, and suddenly accelerated to the right. Randolph took several steps in a row to fear McGrady's breakthrough, but the latter made an emergency stop at the free throw line.

After the pick-and-roll, Yao Ming followed the trend, how could Luo Yin restrict Yao Ming's movement.

Yao Ming's swipe has the opportunity to get the pass to complete the offense, and he can also grab the offensive rebound after McGrady misses the shot.

"Coach Rick Adelman has a very solid experience coaching big men."

Swish!

McGrady made a mid-range shot.

Switch offense.

Randolph did not choose to hit Yao Ming inside, but mentioned the free throw line to catch the ball.

Randolph has a certain mid-range shooting ability, which should be at the average level, but this shooting percentage can't form a threat on the court.

So when he saw Randolph receiving the ball from the free throw line, Yao Ming just took a step up and didn't jump very far.

This is also his defensive habit since he was a child. The center should try not to stay too far away from the inside penalty area.

That's why Boozer scored high scores on Yao Ming's head in the playoffs last season.

Swish!

Randolph made his first attempt at a mid-range shot, but it fell apart on the next possession.

The Trail Blazers only scored one of the three rounds, but the Rockets scored three times to lead the Trail Blazers 6:2.

"The Rockets have to expand the score advantage to 8 points in this way, timeout!"

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

Nate McMillan called a timeout very early tonight. He reorganized his offensive tactics and offensive focus, and Luo Yin led the next offense.

The game restarts after the timeout.

Jarrett Jack used Aldridge's pick-and-roll to pass the ball to Luo Yin, because now there are very few players in the league who throw the ball out of the three-point line.

Therefore, most teams choose to defend around the back when facing a big delay in the outside pick-and-roll, giving the ball holder a certain three-point shooting opportunity, mainly preventing the opponent from breaking through to the basket.

This also makes it difficult to successfully switch positions in the current pick-and-roll style of play, and it is even more difficult to achieve a picture where the big hits the small or the small hits the big.

In addition to the excellent high and low pick-and-rolls that the Jazz have.

McGrady is defending Luo Yin, Randolph is on the right waist, and Aldridge is on the left side of the free throw line after the pick-and-roll. Both of them have the ability to open up space.

Luo Yin executes singles, suddenly accelerates from the right, McGrady keeps up, and near the basket, Luo Yin fakes and collects the ball to trick McGrady's defense and then scores a layup.

"The feint was beautifully done."

Mai Di opened his eyes that could never be opened, looked at Luo Yin and said.

Luo Yin smiled confidently. He is still very confident in his singles ability, but he may have misunderstood what McGrady meant.

next round.

McGrady forcibly asked for the ball at the top of the arc, and Yao Ming wanted to come up for the pick-and-roll, but McGrady reached out to stop him.

"This ball is for you."

McGrady hit the ground and dribbled the ball three times in a row, and his breakthrough speed in the first step was also very fast, even in terms of speed alone, he was no worse than Zhang Jun.

McGrady leaned forward to break through, and Luo Yin retreated suddenly. The next moment he realized something, and regretted it again and again.

Swish!

McGrady made a direct pull-up shot.

Luo Yin, who came back from defense, even stretched out his hand without disturbing McGrady's eyes.

"With this height and wingspan, Luo Yin is still at a disadvantage defending McGrady."

Barkley couldn't help but said.

Kenny Smith flipped through the data and said: "Luo Yin is 198cm tall and has a wingspan of 213cm. This is already a very good physical talent among shooting guards."

"But McGrady is 204 tall, and he is misplaced against anyone on the court."

Buckley nodded.

Those who have McGrady are not as fast as him, and those who are as fast as him are not as tall as him. He also has a good shot, which is really difficult to guard against.

Zhang Jun, who has been helping the team's offense and tactics, noticed Luo Yin's embarrassment on the defensive end, and he took the initiative to signal.

"Brandon, I'll guard him next round."

Luo Yin couldn't help but said: "The coach didn't arrange it like this, his side......"

Zhang Jun interrupted in advance and said: "In the first quarter, you are the core of the offense. I will help you defend McGrady. You put all your energy on offense."

"As long as he can win, the coach can say anything."

Luo Yin nodded, and admired Zhang Jun's boldness even more in his heart.

It has been two years in the Trail Blazers, Luo Yin has never disobeyed the coach's tactical arrangement, Zhang Jun this time......

"call!"

"whatever."

Luo Yin shook his head, threw away the entangled emotions in his brain, and began to play according to Zhang Jun's instructions.

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

Luo Yin attacked with the ball, and after a pick-and-roll with Aldridge, he distributed the ball to the latter to complete a mid-range jumper.

The Rockets attack.

Yao Ming puts up the pick-and-roll, McGrady attacks with the ball but finds Zhang Jun, the defender in front of him.

"Hey, the Blazers put a rookie on me."

Snapped!

McGrady suddenly accelerated to the right, but Zhang Jun's footsteps were also fast, and he immediately followed and blocked McGrady's attacking route.

Yao Ming opened his hands for the ball on the inside, but Aldridge had already retreated to help defend.

McGrady wanted to pass the ball to Luis Scola, but there were too many players on the other side, and Zhang Jun stood in front of him confidently, McGrady was very angry.

"You really think you can guard against me!"

call!

McGrady stopped abruptly.

Zhang Jun stretched out his hand and leaned forward to take off.

The players on the field discovered a terrifying scene. Originally, Zhang Jun was half a meter away from McGrady, but when he was defending, his defender was directly on McGrady's shooting path.

McGrady was also taken aback, watching the big octopus-like hand forcibly retracting his hand in the air, and then made a second shot to avoid Zhang Jun's block.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Can I enter this too?"

Zhang Jun looked at McGrady very unhappy.

Mai Di, who had a long time to spare, was relieved and his sleeping eyes became more blurred.

"Welcome to the NBA, kid."

Zhang Jun glanced at McGrady unhappily, "You guys can only say this, can you change it to something new?"

Trail Blazers coaching bench.

Monty Williams frowned and said, "Why is Zhang Jun defending McGrady this round? We didn't arrange it that way."

Nate McMillan was silent and said: "They should have decided to switch defenses themselves."

Monty Williams couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "Oh! How bold, they know how much impact tactical adjustments will have on the back of the team."

"Defending Tracy McGrady naturally consumes a lot of physical strength. What if Zhang Jun defends the back team and needs him to lead the team to play the second team?"

Nate McMillan said affirmatively: "Luo Yin has never disobeyed the decision of the coaching staff, he has not been so courageous."

Monty Williams frowned and said, "So it's Zhang Jun?"

"Is it possible that he started to drift because he played a good game in the last game?"

Nate McMillan also had the same idea, and even wanted to go to the center line and reprimand him for such an ill-considered move. However, Nate McMillan stopped after thinking that Zhang Jun had perfectly executed the tactics he wanted. Own rushed.

He said: "Let them try it out. Although McGrady scored in the last round, Zhang Jun's defensive effect is indeed better than Luo Yin's."

"Let's see if these little guys make assertive decisions like this to help the team."

Switch offense.

Luo Yin broke through and hit the backboard, and Zhang Jun jumped into the air from behind to complete an alley-oop dunk.

This is the first time that Luo Yin and Zhang Jun have played such a perfect cooperation, and the two have begun to have a tacit understanding.

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

McGrady once again faced Zhang Jun in singles, but this time he was directly blocked by Zhang Jun, and his mid-range shots were solid.

This is the first time that McGrady has encountered a player who is very similar to himself. He has speed, height and wingspan. McGrady is really not very good at playing him.

Rockets coach Rick Adelman called a timeout ahead of time, rearranged the offensive focus, and allowed Yao Ming to start attacking inside.

This is a bit difficult for the Trail Blazers.

When they defended McGrady from the outside, there was at least one Zhang Jun who could stand up. It was Yao Ming's turn to defend, but there was really no player who could match him.

The first quarter is over.

Yao Ming's 6-for-6 inside line directly stunned the Blazers, and the Rockets led by 28:23.

Zhang Jun, who took a 4-minute break in advance, re-entered the field and began to lead the substitute lineup.

Still headed by him, the combination of Steve Blake, James Jones, Travis Outlaw and Joel Przybilla.

The Rockets' bench did a lot of credit for them last season, Carl Landry, Aaron Brooks, Dikambe Mutombo, Steve Novak and Chuck Hayes.

It is not Steve Novak but Chuck Hayes who is facing Zhang Jun.

The former is a white striker with extremely accurate shots, but his movement speed is slow and his physical confrontation is poor. Rick Adelman made a prediction in advance.

So let Chuck Hayes switch defenses in advance.

Although the latter is just an undrafted pick, he is strong, fast, and has a good sense of position. He can even rely on lower body strength to fight against tall centers.

Just can't score at all, lacks range, and bounces affect the finishing ability.

But letting him defend Zhang Jun is the best choice.

"Zhang Jun is in trouble. In fact, such a picture will come one day."

"But after all the teams in the league understand Zhang Jun's abilities and characteristics, it will be difficult for him to complete his performance against the Lakers in the last game."

"This is the biggest difference between the nba and ncaa."

"There are all types of players in this league. They may not be the core of each team, nor are they super giants in the league, but they can limit a very good player."

on the pitch.

Chuck Hayes' defensive position did give Zhang Jun a great sense of oppression. Such a defensive feeling was not what a player like Luke Walton could show in the last game.

Zhang Jun called the pick-and-roll from the outside.

Joel Pulzbilla did not take Chuck Hayes away after the pick-and-roll, because the latter chose to defend around the back and give Zhang Jun a chance to shoot from the outside.

"This is to recognize me and want to be tough with me!"

Zhang Jun raised his hand to signal his teammates to pull away.

Chuck Hayes naturally knew what the opponent was going to do. He lowered his center of gravity and opened his hands with confidence.

Snapped!

Zhang Jun suddenly accelerated and passed Chuck Hayes halfway, and then quickly saw a strong defensive force attacking the left side of his body.

Chuck Hayes took the initiative to use his body against the side to slow down Zhang Jun.

This kind of defense certainly destroyed the offensive player's route and body center of gravity, but the referee did not whistle a defensive foul.

This chapter is not finished, click [next page] to continue reading -->>

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

This era will not call this kind of confrontational foul.

No foul call, this is a good defense.

Zhang Jun lost his offensive advantage, and immediately made a forward turn and passed Chuck Hayes again. The latter kept up with the huge force confrontation and forced Zhang Jun to lose his offensive focus again.

This position is already very close to the basket.

The Rockets' backup center Dikambe Mutombo rushed over with a smile on his face to help defend.

Obviously, he and Chuck Hayes have played a lot of defensive cooperation like this, and Zhang Jun is now facing the enemy.

call!

"Zhang Jun still took off. In front of him is the African mountain Mutombo."

"A tie rod with a very large arc!"

"Zhang Jun is going to make a reverse layup."

All! All!

The referee blows his whistle.

Zhang Jun, who had already found a layup opportunity, was pulled down from the air by Chuck Hayes. He couldn't even throw the ball into the sky, and he didn't even have a chance to create a 2+1.

Chuck Hayes' defensive details are well done, and his arms are very powerful.

Chuck Hayes didn't expect that Zhang Jun could find such a layup angle, he walked to Mutombo to remind his good partner and said.

"Next time you have to come here earlier and block it a little more forward. This kid has a big stride and a long arm span. He can find angles that others can't."

Even Dikembe Mutombo, who has been on the court for many years, did not expect the exaggerated anti-basket just now, he nodded and said.

"Even if I can't prevent it, I will pull him down."

When the two talked, they did not avoid Zhang Jun at all, and it was even possible that they were talking to Zhang Jun on purpose.

Looking at these two devils, Zhang Jun couldn't help but look confused.

"Is it necessary for you to do this to a rookie?"

Mutombo shook his head in front of Zhang Jun with his finger out, showing a row of white teeth and said: "Welcome to the NBA."

Hold!

Zhang Jun is annoyed when he hears this sentence now.

And the ensuing game was exactly as the two said, as long as Zhang Jun entered the inside line, the two would encircle and defend. This defensive strength almost killed Zhang Jun directly.

Zhang Jun was hit on the head, hands, and chest by the two of them almost once. Although they also committed 7 fouls and scored 10 points with free throws, the overall offense of the Trail Blazers failed.

The two of them didn't care how many rules they committed on Zhang Jun, they were just substitutes.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Rockets and Trail Blazers gradually came into the starting lineup.

At this time, the score on the court was 40:43, and the Trail Blazers were still 3 points behind.

Zhang Jun went to rest.

Nate McMillan stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhang Jun's head. Looking at the dissatisfied expression on his face, he said, "To help the team not fall behind at this stage, you have completed the task I entrusted to you."

Zhang Jun still blamed himself and said: "I should have done better, and even helped the team tie the score at this stage, but the referee had too many fouls and didn't call it."

"They really can't see how Chuck Hayes and Mutombo are guarding me?"

Nate McMillan smiled and continued: "This is what you have to learn in the NBA."

"These things are not on the technical level, but on experience. You should observe the referee's whistle scale in advance and judge the degree of defensive infringement of the opponent tonight."

This chapter is not finished, click [next page] to continue reading -->>

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

"The most important thing is to think about how to solve this kind of defense."

"Zhang Jun, this is the understanding of the game!"

Zhang Jun nodded, and what Nate McMillan said made him suddenly understand. He looked at the other party seriously and said.

"Coach, I'll do better next time."

Nate McMillan would like to say that you have done a very good job, because this kind of experience learning and understanding of the game is something that veterans who have played in the NBA for 4 or 5 years will only consider.

Some players even don't finish mastering these things until they are 30 years old.

This is the role and greatest value of those veterans in the team, always helping young players find the best way to play.

After Zhang Jun left the field, Luo Yin still defended McGrady.

During this period, McGrady has not suffered from serious back injuries, so he can still do big moves on the court, and he is very spiritual.

If you look at it from the perspective of fans, McGrady's play is really the most elegant of the four shooting guards.

At the end of halftime.

The Rockets already lead the Trail Blazers 58:52.

In the third quarter, Zhang Jun played again to lead the second team.

Still the two brothers, Chuck Hayes and Mutombo even looked at Zhang Jun with a smile on their faces.

Zhang Jun glanced at the two expressionlessly, and then returned a smile between his brows.

Chuck Hayes frowned.

"This kid seems to be fooled by us."

Mutombo didn't think so. He reminded: "His breakthrough is indeed very strong, don't be careless."

The Blazers attack.

It was still Joel Pulzbila's pick-and-roll, and Chuck Hayes still chose to go around the defense and squeeze past the pick-and-roll man Joel Przybilla.

Chuck Hayes was a little surprised, because Zhang Jun's offensive choice didn't change much from the second quarter.

"If he's trying to foul me, I've got three more to play with him, enough to hold on to the starting lineup."

"What the **** is he trying to do?"

Zhang Jun faced Chuck Hayes again. He lowered his focus and still chose to break through.

The first step is as fast as ever.

Chuck Hayes felt more and more surprised.

"Could this kid be a stunned young man?"

Chuck Hayes used his upper body to collide with Zhang Jun habitually, and at the same time secretly added a lot of strength.

Although his defense is good, he must use such small skills to keep up with Zhang Jun, and he is also very good at such small skills.

"Ouch!"

When Chuck Hayes used the secret channel, he suddenly felt a stronger force erupting from his chest. During the breakthrough process, Zhang Jun elbowed Chuck Hayes away and gained a full breakthrough position.

empty!

Mutombo didn't react, and when he wanted to defend again, Zhang Jun had already lifted off.

boom!

"Crack the battle ax!"

"Zhang Jun completed the first dunk with the ball in this game!"

Mutombo looked at Chuck Hayes, who still couldn't believe it with his eyes wide open: "I was pushed away by him!"

Mutombo quickly signaled to the referee.

"He made an offensive foul!"

"There are small movements in the hands."

The bottom line referee held his chin with one hand and said: "You two have much more defensive moves than him. If you want to call fouls, you two should add at least three each. What are you thinking?"

This chapter is not finished, click [next page] to continue reading -->>

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

This is the tone of the game.

Zhang Jun retaliated against him in his own way, and also used physical confrontation to help him gain an offensive advantage.

Monty Williams looked shocked off the court.

"Zhang Jun's reaction speed is too fast, is he really a rookie?"

Nate McMillan smiled and said, "Perhaps, he has never been more than a rookie~www.novelbuddy.com~ He is really ready to land in the NBA."

next round.

Zhang Jun made a breakthrough again. Facing Mutombo's help defense, he forced a layup against Mutombo.

Mutombo was even pushed back by Zhang Jun.

"Although this kid's strength is not great, he is fast and full of impact. It's really hard to guard against him."

Zhang Jun made three breakthroughs in a row and scored 2+1 with Mutombo and Chuck Hayes for the last time. He also made more and more small moves, and even made Mutombo directly They cursed with Chuck Hayes.

"It's dirty!"

Zhang Jun walked to the free throw line and stared at the two.

"That's what I learned from you."

"Also, don't tell me welcome to the NBA!"

"Labor and capital are coming!"

The Trail Blazers played a 10:4 offensive high slot, and the Rockets called a timeout.

Rick Adelman took McGrady ahead of time to stabilize the situation.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Zhang Jun began to attack and defend McGrady at the same time. This scene once made Nate McMillan very worried about Zhang Jun's physical condition.

But the result was that Zhang Jun accomplished his task brilliantly, and at the same time defended McGrady twice in a row.

The Rockets have entered the stage of Yao Ming's harvest game again.

Zhang Jun made a connection with Luo Yin at a critical moment.

Luo Yin sent Zhang Jun a fast-break lob that spanned the half court. Zhang Jun broke through and scored to attract double-team guard Luo Yin to send a three-point assist.

The tacit cooperation between the two at critical moments helped the Trail Blazers have the last laugh and won the game with difficulty 106:104.

Two consecutive victories!
