MTL - NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker-Chapter 144 Evolution

April 24.

Toyota Center.

Trail Blazers locker room.

"Hey, did you hear the voice outside?"

Travis Outlaw touched Channing Fry's arm beside him and whispered.

Channing Fry stopped what he was doing and listened carefully, and then he heard all kinds of insults and obscene words against the Trail Blazers from the fans in the Toyota Center Arena.

There are the most voices scolding Zhang Jun, but these fans seem to find no point to scold Zhang Jun, so the way of scolding is a bit weird.

"Zhang Jun, your future achievements will not exceed Greg Oden! He just didn't play this season, he is the well-deserved champion, you thief!"

"I would say I play like Jordan or Kobe, anyone, but I won't say like Zhang Jun!"

"You will never reach the talent of those high school players who can enter the NBA, such as Tracy McGrady!"

Listening to the subtle scolding voices about Zhang Jun in his ears, Channing Fulai said in a very sophisticated way: "Well, it should be the fans in Houston who are scolding us."

Regardless of the fact that Travis Outlaw has been in the NBA for five years, in fact this is the first time he has played in the playoffs.

Some of the words that commentators often have on their lips are not false.

Some players work hard all their lives but can't make it to the NBA, some players can't make it to the playoffs after playing in the NBA all their lives, some players can't break through the second round of the playoffs all their lives, and some players can't make it to the playoffs in their entire career Touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Of course, most players can't make it to the finals no matter how hard they try.

As long as he can enter the finals, no matter the player is a core player, a starter, or a rotation player, whoever is on the field can bear the title of a player in the finals, and those who can win the championship will bear the title of a championship player. There is a need for the team.

Experience is the most important thing in the playoffs.

So what most fans see is only a small part of the glamorous part, most of the less glamorous and the bitterness behind it are invisible to most people.

"Outlaw, don't care about those things, just execute tactics on the court, and play every minute, every round, and every ball well."

Francis said at the right time.

After Zach Randolph left, the Trail Blazers had no locker room leader for a long time, and the arrival of Francis naturally assumed this responsibility.

"This is only the first round of the playoffs, which scares you out of your wits? Doesn't it mean that the second round will make you kneel down and surrender!"

"Houston fans are the most impure basketball fans. When you see the Salt Lake Plateau, the Silver and Black Legion and the Zijin Dynasty in the playoffs, you will know what the craziest fans are."

Luo Yin couldn't help smiling, he wrapped a lot of bandages on his knees and ankles, and the people around him were already used to the opponent's behavior before the game.

Aldridge said confidently: "No one in the Rockets can defend against me, not Luis Scola, nor Carl Landry, not to mention Steve Novak, who came up to the top in the last game."

"So the Rockets are not our opponent."

Zhang Jun stood up, his face was not very good-looking.

He finally understood why Francis would walk up to him and say those words after the last game. It seemed like a reminder, but it was actually a vaccination for tonight.

Francis had already guessed that the fans in Houston would make all kinds of swear words about Zhang Jun, so he told him not to make those comments in the unexpected world, and to abandon himself and put aside distracting thoughts.

Zhang Jun took a deep breath and said, "Don't underestimate any opponent. When you step on the court, you must fight your opponent as your lifelong enemy."

"Then, the more the Houston fans abused me, the more I just wanted to bash their team on the court."

The rest of the Trail Blazers immediately surrounded them. They didn't think Zhang Jun was joking.

This kid looks young, but in fact he plays fiercely on the court. The veterans of the opposing team always want to give him a little color and trouble, but in the end they are often the ones who suffer the most.

Francis raised his right hand high, and everyone moved closer and lowered their heads tacitly.

"Portland Trail Blazers!"

"Tear!"

On the court, the game is about to begin.

The Rockets' gorgeous players appeared on the field, and the annoying mascot Rocket Bear yelled at the Trail Blazers' bench, followed by the scolding of the Houston fans on the scene.

The referee serves in midfield.

boom!

"The game has begun!"

"Yao named the Rockets to jump off the offensive ball in the first round!"

"Their offensive focus in the first round was still on Dayao. I have to say that Dayao was really targeted by the Trail Blazers in the first two games. He was pulled out for singles and quickly bullied him. It’s a slow move around the field.”

"However, Dayao's offensive performance is really efficient. In the first two games, he averaged 26 points and 10 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 66%!"

"But such an efficiency can't win a game for the Rockets. It's really unbelievable. Director Su, what do you think?"

The commentary station broadcast the entire game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers. Yu Jia and Su Qun watched the first two games heartbroken.

Because when the Jazz and Rockets played in the playoffs, they repeatedly targeted Yao Ming's weakness, and Boozer used mid-range to score high points on Yao Ming.

Both Yu Jia and Su Qun believed that the Rockets did not meet the Jazz in this year's playoffs. They finally did not have to face this extremely restrained opponent, and they were still facing the young team of the Trail Blazers. They must have easily defeated each other. Yao Ming was also able to advance to the second round for the first time in his career.

But what the two never expected was that the Trail Blazers targeted Yao Ming harder than the Jazz. Zhang Jun hit Yao Ming on the outside pick-and-roll list to find out, as long as the Rockets didn't make an offense, they were all members of the Trail Blazers. Participate in the next fast break.

Playing like this, Yao Ming spent more than half of his energy in the whole game on running back and forth.

"But I really want to praise Dayao. After being beaten like this by the Trail Blazers, he can still score such efficient statistics. Ordinary players really can't do it."

"So far, Yao Ming is also the player who can score more than 20 points per game in the playoffs, and has the highest shooting percentage."

Su Qun said helplessly.

If Yao Ming can enter the NBA a few years earlier, or catch up with the era dominated by the four major centers, and those top insiders who are well-known in history.

But now, the league has already become the era of the Big Four. During the period from 2002 to 207, Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki and Webber gradually replaced the former four centers to rule the league, and some even continued to rule. trend.

Just as most people think, the only centers that the league can handle today are Yao Ming in the West and Howard in the East.

In addition, there is no longer any center who can play the role of the core of the team and form the championship lineup.

"However, tonight's game is the Rockets' home game. I believe that the Rockets will perform better when they return home than when they play away."

"I believe that after two days of rest, Yao Ming and McGrady will definitely face the game with more energy."

Yu Jia even boldly predicted: "As long as the Rockets can win this game tonight and move the big score to 1:2, with their experience and ability, they have every chance to defeat this youth team."

Swish!

On the court, Yao Ming's inside singles Joel Pulzbila made the first goal.

The Rockets used Yao's fake name to turn back to the weak side to ask for another position very well. As long as Zhang Jun didn't pay attention to the wrong position, or McGrady and Battier deliberately brought Zhang Jun to the strong side, Then Yao Ming will definitely play like this in the paint.

"The Trail Blazers have two strategies to defend the Rockets. Let Zhang Jun defend on the weak side. If Zhang Jun is not there, let Aldridge on the inside defend."

"Of course, after Aldridge goes to double-team, the Rockets' Luis Scola will be very comfortable to get mid-range scoring opportunities. Compared with Battier receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, the Blazers at least have an outside rotation Defense."

"However, there is no way around this. The Trail Blazers can only choose one of the two to defend Yao Ming, and the Rockets also very much hope that the Trail Blazers will use Aldridge to defend."

In the first quarter, Yao Ming still made 4 of 6 shots and Luis Scola also made 2 of 4 shots.

Like the previous two games, the Rockets took the lead in the first quarter.

At 24:29, the Blazers trailed by 5 points.

"The second quarter is coming again. In the first two games, the Rockets performed very poorly in this quarter. They have been trying to use Dayao to reduce dimensionality and attack the Trail Blazers inside, but the effect is not good."

"Look at how they plan to get through this tonight's game."

As soon as Yu Jia finished speaking, Su Qun, who had been staring at the court, shouted excitedly.

"The Rockets have changed!"

"Dayao didn't play, they got it at this time and McGrady led the team!"

on the pitch.

The sudden change of the Rockets also made it difficult for the players on the Trail Blazers to adapt.

Barkley gave a very high evaluation and said: "In the first two games, Yao Ming led the team to lose in the second quarter. This also proves that this lineup is completely unfeasible to play against the Trail Blazers."

"Don't think that Yao Ming playing the Trail Blazers without a center lineup is a dimensionality reduction blow. In fact, when Yao Ming meets this lineup, his sense of powerlessness on the defensive end will hinder the Rockets on both offense and defense."

"So changing formations is a must."

Kenny Smith agreed and said: "Regardless of whether such a change of formation is effective or not, as long as this change disrupts the formation, the Blazers' previous style of play will not work at all. This is the best effect."

"And the players on the Trail Blazers are very young and inexperienced. After the Rockets change, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to quickly adjust and find a way to win."

With everyone's high affirmation, the second quarter started.

McGrady holds the ball on the field, and Zhang Jun defends alone.

After the first two games, the Rockets have been very sure that Zhang Jun is the strongest defender on the perimeter of the Trail Blazers.

It's not that Zhang Jun's defense has really reached the strength of the league's top defenders, but that Zhang Jun is the best defender in this Trail Blazers team whose overall defense is not strong.

With the same length and arms, he can match the top position when defending McGrady.

Chuck Hayes raised the pick-and-roll to stop Zhang Jun, forcing James Jones to single-handedly defend McGrady.

James Jones' defense is the same as Paper Lake's. He defends McGrady without thinking about the result.

And after Yao Ming didn't appear on the court, the Rockets dared to bring Chuck Hayes up. They didn't do anything, but came up to defend Zhang Jun, who exhausted his energy and picked and rolled and grabbed rebounds.

call!

Tracy McGrady first made an easy mid-range pull-up against James Jones.

"We have to give back color!"

"The Rockets' change of formation disrupted our deployment. If we can't return to our performance on the offensive end, our second team advantage will be gone!"

"You know, we have never won against the Rockets in the first quarter."

Nate McMillan shouted down the field from the sidelines.

He didn't expect the Rockets to dare to change at this juncture, which is why coach Rick Adelman can be called a famous coach.

The opponent had tested countless lineup possibilities as early as the regular season. It happened that Yao Ming and McGrady each had a long rest, so they both led the team on the court, and also led the starters and substitutes in games. .

So McGrady was able to adapt to this lineup and understand his role as soon as he came up.

Zhang Jun nodded after listening.

He knew that Nate McMillan was speaking to him.

If he wants to use offense to stabilize the situation first, Nate McMillan and Monty Williams still need time to think about how to crack the Rockets' lineup and style of play.

Zhang Jun singled Chuck Hayes.

The opponent still had a lot of physical confrontation and high-intensity defense. Chuck Hayes prevented Zhang Jun from being able to catch the ball when he was off the ball, and his body was exhausted when he was on the ball. He was tireless throughout the game.

Zhang Jun consumed a lot of physical energy in the confrontation with Chuck Hayes. He got the ball and tried his best to get rid of Chuck Hayes. Move, go inside and make a dunk~www.novelbuddy.com~ Since the first game of the playoffs, the Rockets suffered from Zhang Jun's breakthrough in the middle distance, and now they dare not Put Zhang Jun's mid-range shot. "

"This defensive method also makes Zhang Jun's breakthrough more difficult to defend. He can often scare the opponent with just a look or a movement in the middle distance, but in this way, the breakthrough route will inevitably be empty."

"This is Zhang Jun's way of playing against opponents on the court. Who would have thought that he was just a rookie."

Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh there.

All Chinese fans, even Ah Lian and Dayao are fantasizing about whether Zhang Jun is Asian or Chinese. Yu Jia sometimes thinks how great it would be if a player like Zhang Jun could become a Chinese player .

At that time, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Zhang Jun don't know what kind of upheaval the three of them will cause in the international arena, just like Monkey King in Journey to the West leading the monkey monkey grandson to fight against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

"It's just that if Zhang Jun is really a Chinese player, I'm afraid he would be unqualified in the youth training team. I have seen Zhang Jun's performance in high school. He only has one hand to break through and nothing else. He doesn't even play tactics. .”

"If this is placed in the youth team, there is a proper ball bully, which youth team coach will allow players not to play according to their own ideas?"

Su Qun nodded and agreed with this point very much. He also knew a lot of things in it, and said with deep feeling: "The training methods that those young players who play in the youth team are exposed to are the same as military training. Let's not talk about anything else. Come on, learn how to listen first."
