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

Chapter 142 – It’S Really Hard To Guard Against This Talent Monster

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

The last two minutes.

Both Nate McMillan and Rick Adelman on the sidelines were anxiously pacing back and forth near the center line.

Rick Adelman yelled at the court: “Rebound, get back to the defense quickly, don’t let the Blazers play fast!”

Nate McMillan commanded all the players: “Give the ball to Zhang Jun, pay attention to the time.”

McGrady held the ball from the outside line. After he raised his head and bowed to Buddha, he immediately thrust his right hand. Zhang Jun didn’t hesitate to catch up quickly. McGrady played singles again with his back at a 45° angle on the right.

call!

It was another roll and lean back.

Swish!

The basketball hits steadily.

Gasping for breath, McGrady high-fived his teammates with firm eyes.

“This goal is difficult. Zhang Jun didn’t lose his position at all. McGrady just went against the defense and scored the goal.”

“Ghost flips, ghost jumps, raising hands and shooting, these are McGrady’s key weapons at the last moment. The mid-range will always be the most effective means of scoring in the playoffs.”

This goal McGrady also helped the Rockets narrow the score to 5 points.

Zhang Jun holds the ball at the top of the arc, and McGrady sticks to his body to defend.

His defense is indeed not at the top of the league, but when McGrady tries his best to defend, he can still see the skill that a player should have to become an All-Star player.

call!

Zhang Jun broke through with the ball and went backhanded, Battier on the right went up to double-team, Zhang Jun turned his back at the free throw line and went left-handed, Yao Ming also raised up to help defend, Zhang Jun, who had no chance to break into the inside line, followed by a slight dribble Drift mid-range shot.

Swish!

“There is also!”

“Response!”

“Zhang Jun! This rookie is really tough!”

“I guard the best offensive player on your Rockets team, and I want to attack the best player on your Rockets team.”

“When Zhang Jun defended McGrady, the Trail Blazers did not double-team. When Zhang Jun attacked McGrady, the Rockets used three people to help defend.”

“The scoring leader of the new league, the offensive method is really terrifying.”

After scoring this goal, the Trail Blazers opened the score to 7 points.

And the game time is only a little over 1 minute.

Then the Trail Blazers began to press time and did not give the Rockets any chance to comeback at this time.

“120:115, congratulations to the Portland Trail Blazers for winning Game 1 of the playoffs.”

“Big score 1:0!”

Trail Blazers coaching bench.

Nate McMillan clenched his fist and Monty Williams jumped to his feet to cheer.

Zhang Jun walked off the field and hugged his teammates with high fives.

“Nice job dude!”

“You have frustrated McGrady’s prestige!”

“The Rockets will never dare to be arrogant with us again.”

The sound of mvp from the fans at the scene was endless. In fact, when Zhang Jun and McGrady scored against each other, the whole Moda Center Arena rang out the shouts of MVP. It was just that Zhang Jun himself was obsessed with the court and the matchup with McGrady, so Did not notice.

In the post-match interview.

Countless reporters praised the Trail Blazers’ first playoff game in several years, and Zhang Jun’s performance was mentioned again and again.

“11 of 16 shots, 25 points and 10 rebounds, 12 of 25 shots, 29 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. This is the performance of the Rockets’ Yao-Mai combination.”

“14 of 22 shots, 5 of 7 free throws, 34 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, this is Zhang Jun’s outstanding performance in this game tonight, in addition to Luo Yin’s 20 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Al Delici’s 18 points and 9 rebounds, and the Trail Blazers as a whole scored in double figures with six players.”

“At the critical moment, you have Zhang Jun to calm the situation, and you have also blossomed a lot in the whole game, and you have played a very good level of outside three-point shooting.”

“This is a very strong Trail Blazers team, right, better than the Rockets.”

To be honest, Nate McMillan was a little shocked when he saw the players’ data for the first time, not because he was shocked by Zhang Jun’s performance. Even if he was a rookie, even if he was playing in the playoffs for the first time, Nate McMillan still has full confidence in Zhang Jun.

After all, the opponent is the league’s scoring leader this year, Mr. 42 points, and he has already proven his ability.

What really surprised Nate McMillan was the performance of the other players on the Trail Blazers. In addition to the three young cores, Jarrett Jack, James Jones, and Channing Fry also helped the team continue the firepower on the outside.

It is precisely because of their containment on the outside that Zhang Jun frequently confronted McGrady at the last moment.

“This is the key to winning for the Trail Blazers and Zhang Jun’s key to the stadium.”

“Everyone in the Trail Blazers is ready. The Rockets are not an opponent that can be underestimated. Yao Mai is still the hottest player in the league today.”

“We’ll be ready to win our next home game.”

Nate McMillan doesn’t think the Rockets are a normal playoff team, and he’s pretty sure this series will be tough.

…

Portland fans are still basking in the joy of their first playoff win.

“For fans in other cities, the first win in the playoffs is just an ordinary victory, but for this team that has not made the playoffs in 6 years, this is the rain after a long drought. “

As Steve Patterson thought, the tickets for the second home game of the Trail Blazers playoffs have been sold out. I heard that the scalpers below have fired up the ticket prices to 120% of the original price, but even so, there are still Countless fans rushed to buy.

Steve Patterson couldn’t help but sighed and said, “I knew I should have raised the price a little bit earlier. I made a mistake.”

“However, if the Trail Blazers continue to play like this, there will be opportunities to get more revenue from ticket prices.”

“Zhang Jun is really good, just now McGrady is not at all inferior.”

“And Oden, the original No. 1 pick, is still recuperating from his injuries. If the Trail Blazers win him this season, even if he can make the playoffs this season, he won’t be far away.”

“No wonder the Sonics didn’t win Oden, and Kevin Durant’s performance is much better than him.”

Steve Patterson was more and more satisfied with his decision to win Zhang Jun at that time. Everyone said that the playoffs are a stage to test the stars. Zhang Jun played so well in the first playoffs. The perfect superstar embryo.

From this moment on, Zhang Jun was directly marked as not for sale in Steve Patterson’s heart.

………

April 21.

Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs continues.

The Rockets continued the offensive tactics of the previous game.

Yao Ming first bullied the Trail Blazers’ weak penalty area in the interior. Compared with the previous game, Yao Ming played more resolutely in the interior.

He observed the position of Zhang Jun, the best defensive player of the Trail Blazers in advance, and other Rockets players also helped him to pay attention. As long as Zhang Jun was not helping to defend, Yao Ming could carry the two to complete the attack.

In the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming made all 4 shots at the beginning of the game, directly hitting Nate McMillan’s timeout.

After the game restarted, the Blazers’ defense against Yao Ming became a double-team of inside Aldridge and Joel Pulzbila.

With Zhang Jun still unable to go inside to restrict Yao Ming, Aldridge had to take the initiative to undertake this task.

But in this way, Luis Scola got more scoring opportunities. Luis Scola, who only had 8 points and 5 rebounds in the last game, made 3 of 5 shots in the first quarter of tonight’s game and scored 6 points. 2 rebounds.

His offensive firepower relieved Yao Ming’s double-teaming pressure on the inside, and the Rockets directly led by 7 points in the first quarter at 30:23!

“Although the Blazers won the last game, as everyone said, the Rockets were the stronger team.”

“Yao Ming and McGrady are still more experienced players. They know how to use the double teams they encounter to create opportunities for their teammates.”

Kenny Smith said with certainty.

In his opinion, the Trail Blazers did play a very crazy performance in the last game, and the personal confrontation between Zhang Jun and McGrady also made the fans excited.

But basketball is an overall sport after all. Whether it is the coaching staff or the player level, the Rockets are the team that should advance to the next round.

“Don’t worry.”

“This is only the first quarter of the game. Have you forgotten that the Trail Blazers also fell behind in the first quarter of the last game?”

Barkley said suddenly.

Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley frowning. He really wanted to say, you didn’t side with the Trail Blazers before. What do you mean now?

Barkley laughed and said: “I’ve changed my mind now. If the Rockets still can’t solve the Trail Blazers’ one-star shooting in the second team, then the 7-point difference is very important for this team with one of the most terrifying shooters in the league. For the Trail Blazers, it’s by no means a huge disparity.”

“For other playoff teams, 7 points is really a lot, but for this Trail Blazers team and Zhang Jun, it’s really not much!”

“Of course there is another possibility, that is, the outside shooters of the Trail Blazers feel cold tonight, and the Rockets can take the opportunity to win tonight’s game by narrow escape.”

“Then the next battle will be moved to Houston. If the Rockets return to their home court with a big score of 1:1, then I believe this more experienced team will be able to stand to the end.”

“Otherwise… I’m going to be on the Trail Blazers side again!”

Barkley’s meaning is already very clear. He began to gradually believe that this Trail Blazers team has the possibility of defeating the Rockets. And failing to rewrite the big score to 1:1, then they will enter the finals 4 times in 5 years, and stop in the first round every time.

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

The second quarter of the game.

The Trail Blazers are still a one-star lineup.

Rockets coach Rick Adelman seems a little unbelieving, he still sent Yao Ming to appear in this time period, and resolutely beat the shortcomings of the Trail Blazers lineup.

“Channing Fry and Travis Outlaw, the Trail Blazers are undoubtedly sending points to Yao Ming if they dare to use such an inside line. Do you really dare to underestimate the league’s number one center?!

“

Rockets bench, Rick Adelman is full of confidence.

He doesn’t believe that the Trail Blazers can really beat Yao Ming’s substitute lineup with such a lineup. On Chuck Hayes.

Although Chuck Hayes is very good defensively, his offense is also particularly poor, otherwise he would not be picked up by the Rockets with an annual salary of 3 million.

But it was obvious that Chuck Hayes hardly had much restrictive effect on Zhang Jun in the last game, so instead of letting the opponent stay on the court and be unable to attack and defend, it is better to take it down and replace him with Steve Nuo, who has a better offense. Wacker.

“Contrary to Chuck Hayes, Steve Novak is terribly accurate on threes, but the defensive end is so poor that it makes people stomp their feet.”

“I believe that with him on the court, the Trail Blazers will never dare to use such a terrible double-team against Yao Ming again.”

On the court, the game begins.

Zhang Jun held the ball, he didn’t see the familiar Chuck Hayes, and his defender turned into a white player, Steve Novak.

“Brother Jun, be careful this kid is a marksman!”

Channing Fry immediately reminded loudly on the court.

Channing Fry, who is also a forward shooter, is very aware of the players of his type in the league, and Steve Novak is definitely the one he is most impressed with.

The two entered the NBA one after the other, and they both became the power forward players of their respective teams with tall and thin bodies. The experience after that was very unsatisfactory, each of them was just a role on the bench, and sometimes they couldn’t even make it to the game.

Coincidentally, both of them were dropped to the small forward position by the team and played for a while, but the result was the same bad. Although the weight and defensive weaknesses were infinitely reduced after moving to the small forward position, the two slowly developed Defensive footwork has become a loophole in the small forward position.

In the end, it turns out that although both of them have accurate shots, they can only play as substitutes with slightly lower defensive requirements.

Zhang Jun nodded to Qian Ningfu.

After he held the ball for halftime, Steve Blake, James Jones and others quickly opened up the offensive space.

Snapped!

Zhang Jun suddenly sped up and went directly to the basket as easily as crossing the road in the early morning~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yao Ming wanted to defend, but Zhang Jun took off early to attack the frame.

Yao Ming remembered the scene of being dunked by Zhang Jun in the last game, and knew that as long as this guy took off early, it would be difficult for him to protect the frame and interfere.

With Zhang Jun’s jumping and impact abilities, besides the monster Howard and Wolf King Garnett, Yao Ming really can’t think of anyone else who can stop Zhang Jun flying in the sky.

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

So in order to avoid being called a defensive foul, he also knew that he couldn’t stop Zhang Jun, so Yao Ming stood on the spot and raised his hands high to protect his effective defensive zone.

boom!

Another slam dunk!

Zhang Jun hangs the frame with both hands, hangs his body on the basket, swings in and out, and then falls.

“If the Rockets really use Steve Novak to guard Zhang Jun throughout the second quarter, I bet that Zhang Jun can tear the Rockets apart without the Trail Blazers’ outside shooters.”

off the pitch.

Rick Adelman couldn’t sit still looking at the pictures on the court.

He had a premonition that Steve Novak couldn’t guard Zhang Jun, and he didn’t think that the opponent could defend the new scoring leader in the league, but Zhang Jun suddenly made it look like air, and even he had already completed dunks. Steve Novak reacted.

This really caught him by surprise.

Moreover, Yao Ming on the inside really can’t help defend the rushing Zhang Jun. He can help defend most of the outside lines in the league, but it is really difficult for Yao Ming to defend against Zhang Jun’s height, wingspan and jumping. The talent is strange.
