“coach.”
Monty Williams was already tense by this time.
He is very worried that the team will not be able to survive the zone defense strategy that the Hornets are now using. After all, it is a 32 zone defense.
In the playoffs, many teams will adopt zone defense tactics for a certain period of time, and they can often achieve very good results.
Of course, very few teams take zone defense as soon as they come up, because this tactic also has weaknesses.
Nate McMillan said: “The 32 zone defense system is similar to the 122 zone defense system. The difference is that the defender in the middle is positioned high in the middle instead of the top of the arc.”
“Because there are three defenders on the outside, the defensive pressure on the outside players is very strong, and the two inside players stand in advance to break through the gap, so there will be great restrictions on the breakthrough of the offensive players.”
“Simply put, this defensive tactic is completely designed for defending perimeter players.”
“Of course, such a desperate defense also has great weaknesses.”
Monty Williams immediately became excited and asked anxiously: “What weakness, can we fight?”
Nate McMillan smiled bitterly and said: “The 32-zone defense is a tactic that gives up defending the inside of the penalty area in order to defend the outside, so the pressure in the penalty area is extremely small. As long as we have an inside line in the penalty area to take the ball strongly and play singles, this tactic will naturally break without attack. .”
Hearing this, Monty Williams immediately vented half of his excitement.
He wanted to say that there is no strong center in the Trail Blazers. Which team in the league does not know that the center position of the Trail Blazers is the weakest. Any team can be better than the Trail Blazers. .
“So, we are completely useless with this tactic, right?”
Nate McMillan said helplessly: “You can’t say that. If you are strong, you will be strong. If you are tough, you will be tough. The Hornets have adopted this defensive strategy that mainly defends outside. In addition to defending Zhang Jun, it also restricts our outside shooters.” play.”
“If the Hornets already have such a crazy lineup and can’t prevent our three-pointers and Zhang Jun’s breakthrough, then they won’t be able to defeat us, even if it is a game.”
Monty Williams couldn’t help shaking his lips, which was too exaggerated.
The Hornets have already defended the perimeter and Zhang Jun’s breakthrough, can the Blazers face the difficulties?
How strong this is.
Nate McMillan looked at the court again. At this time, he put all the team’s hopes on these players on the court, no, to be precise, on Zhang Jun.
He murmured: “The playoffs are the stage for superstars. Zhang Jun, can you grow from an outstanding player to a superstar in the league? Just tonight.”
on the pitch.
Zhang Jun held the ball to face Julian White’s defense. He used a breakthrough to quickly hold the ball and walked to the penalty area. Bunch Wells immediately stepped forward to double-team the defense. At the same time, Tyson Chandler quickly stepped up and stood in advance Zhang Jun is on his way.
Zhang Jun immediately turned his back and dribbled the ball. He wanted to punish his opponent with mid-range.
But in this round of the series, the Hornets have already seen Zhang Jun’s mid-range power. Even Paul has to admit that Zhang Jun’s mid-range shooting has begun to take shape. The power is not weaker than Paul.

So the moment Zhang Jun turned his back, Julian White and Bunch Wells immediately used close defense, and used their bodies to fight and violate Zhang Jun’s center of gravity, making him face high-intensity confrontation all the time.
At this time, the two of them don’t have to worry about Zhang Jun’s breakthrough at all, because Tyson Chandler on the inside is already in the defense position.
Zhang Jun sensed the Hornets’ defensive intentions, so he turned his back and did not choose a mid-range shot, but observed the positioning of his teammates.
James Jones has a one-step shooting space, and Channing Furley is slightly better with one and a half steps, but there is still a Lynn Bowen horizontally between him and Zhang Jun’s passing route.
If Zhang Jun passes the ball, there is a high probability of being intercepted in the air. He has not yet possessed the ability to pass the ball in front of the defender.
“Oops, stop the ball!”
Kenny Smith and Barkley at the commentary desk became worried at the same time watching this scene on the court.
Barkley would like to say that this is probably the first real problem the Trail Blazers have encountered in the playoffs.
“If the Trail Blazers can’t solve the Hornets’ 32 zone defense, they will have a high probability of being pulled back by the Hornets and eliminated directly.”
on the pitch.
Zhang Jun suddenly shouted: “Flai!”
Channing Fry had already noticed Ryan Bowen’s position, and the opponent had been accumulating strength to make a steal. After hearing Zhang Jun’s call, Channing Fry took a step up with a tacit understanding, and passed the defender. Ask for the ball while re-establishing passing lanes.
This gave Zhang Jun the confidence to pass the ball.
call!
Zhang Jun finally passed the ball, and Julian White, who was closest, rushed over immediately.
It can be seen that the Hornets have already made sufficient preparations before the game. They are very clear about the problems and weaknesses they will face with this defensive tactic.
Julian White’s speed is very fast, and it is still difficult for Channing Fry to run and catch the ball to shoot immediately. At least he must process the ball again and be ready to shoot.
But in this way, Channing Fry’s shooting opportunities were completely gone, and he was full of confidence at this time, holding the ball and stopping in place.
Zhang Jun suddenly asked for the ball again.
Channing Fry returned the ball without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Barkley suddenly shouted in shock: “Score in and out! The ball is still in Zhang Jun’s hands.”
Kenny Smith frowned and didn’t understand why Barkley was so excited all of a sudden. Zhang Jun on the court had already told him the answer.
Zhang Jun, who received the ball again, executed a breakthrough tactic again. At this time, Julian White was unable to double-team Channing Fry when he switched to defense, so there was a small loophole in the 32 defense formation.
It was this loophole that Zhang Jun passed Bunch Wells in one step and went straight to the basket, facing the last barrier of the 32-zone defense.
Boxing champion Tyson Chandler!
Tyson Chandler pursed his lips nervously, and then took a quick step up. This is also the best way to defend Zhang Jun’s breakthrough, putting defensive pressure on him in advance to prevent him from taking off and playing in the sky.
“Zhang Jun still jumped up!”
But this time, Zhang Jun didn’t go straight up and down to increase the jump height, and then rely on the inertia of sprinting to complete the attack frame, but used almost all his strength to fly forward, and at the same time, he faced Tyson Chandler on one side of his body.

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Tyson Chandler’s defensive experience is still very sufficient. Knowing that hitting the ball holder from the side is easy to be called a defensive foul by the referee, so he immediately stopped the forward move, and instead stayed on the spot to reduce redundant defensive actions.
Sideways, diagonally, toss, layup.
Swish!
Zhang Jun flew directly out of the court and hit the shooting area, but the basketball also made steady progress.
“This layup is really difficult!”
“Zhang Jun, it’s not easy for him to score this goal.”
“But he scored!”
Buckley rolled his eyes and said.
This kind of picture reminded him of the biggest opponent in his career. At that time, everyone used such almost suffocating defensive tactics when defending the opponent, but the opponent could always respond under such a defense.
That’s why that guy won two three-peats.
“As far as breakthroughs are concerned, Zhang Jun’s deterrence on the court is not much worse than him.”
Zhang Jun, who played this ball, also boosted his morale, and Fulai couldn’t help but came over and clapped excitedly.
Zhang Jun beckoned, and all his teammates quickly surrounded him.
“Just like that, we’re going in and out and passing one or two extra shots to give the Hornets a hole in their defense so we can finish the offense.”
“Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to score goals against the Hornets’ 32-zone defense.”
After Zhang Jun conveyed the next tactical strategy, James Jones and others were immediately full of confidence.
They have already seen Zhang Jun’s analytical ability and basketball IQ on the court. As long as he finds a way, there will be no problems.
This suddenly reduced the pressure on everyone when the Hornets took the 32 zone defense just now.
On the Trail Blazers bench, Monty Williams jumped up excitedly, and Nate McMillan gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
The 32 zone defense consumes the energy of the executing players. If the Hornets fail to use this defensive tactic in 4 or 5 minutes, they will end this tactic early.
After all, Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler are both present at this time, and the two have not rested, which will put more pressure on them.
The Hornets have the ball.
Paul singled out Steve Blake from the perimeter, and he made a difficult fadeaway from midrange.
At this time, Paul must respond, otherwise the Hornets will not need 4 or 5 minutes at all, and at most 3 minutes will declare that the 32-zone defense is completely shattered.
Switch offense.
Zhang Jun held the ball again, and he still broke through and passed the ball. This time the opportunity came to James Jones.
Bunch Wells rushed out again, and Zhang Jun went up to ask for the ball again. Bunch Wells learned his lesson, and immediately double-teamed Zhang Jun again the moment James Jones passed the ball.
This kind of change also made all the fans watching this game all over the world worry. The fans in Portland also clenched their fists and looked dignified.
“It depends on how the Trail Blazers solve it.”
“Zhang Jun passed the ball!”
“Again to James Jones!”
“The latter has a full shooting space of two steps away this time!”
“James Jones didn’t return the ball, he shot!”

Swish!
!
With the sound of the basketball hitting the net, the Moda Center arena immediately heard the shouts of countless fans.
Under the roar of mountains and tsunami, they were excited about the team’s goal, and they were also excited about the players’ cracking of the Hornets’ defensive tactics.
All the Hornets players on the field looked ugly, and Paul felt powerless in the playoffs for the first time with his hands on his hips.
He is very clear that the Hornets have tried their best, but they just can’t prevent it.
Barkley couldn’t help but praised and said: “Although Zhang Jun’s passing skills are not good, I have to admit that his passing awareness and basketball IQ are really outstanding. He is a natural player who should pass the ball.”
“If he can’t practice his passing ability, he will be ashamed of the talent given to him by God.”
In the next round, Zhang Jun continued to crack the Hornets’ 32 zone defense with a dunk under the basket. The head coach of the Hornets, Byron Scott, was already pale. He stared at Zhang Jun and even wanted to knock the opponent out of the court.

Byron Scott couldn’t figure out how the Trail Blazers chose such a perverted player. This was still his rookie season, and it would be fine if Zhang Jun grew up for another year or two.
“It’s been a long time since there has been such a strong rookie player in the league.”
The Hornets began to firmly double-team Zhang Jun, and Byron Scott wanted to continue betting on the Blazers’ outside shooters.
In his opinion, Zhang Jun’s punching threat is always the greatest.
The cost of such a defensive strategy is that the Trail Blazers made 6 of 15 three-pointers in the second quarter, leading 29:22 in a single quarter.
The two teams tied again at halftime.
The Hornets did not end their 32 zone defense strategy because of this, on the contrary they continued to implement such defensive tactics in the second half of the game.
This is a pain for the players on the field, and it consumes a lot of energy on defense alone, especially Chris Paul. He only rested for 5 minutes in the first three quarters, and he can be called a real iron man.
At the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took a slight lead 84:82.
Game four.
The Trail Blazers’ full starting lineup made their debut again, and at the same time the focus of offense shifted to Zhang Jun.
He first completed a fadeaway jumper with the ball in the middle distance, and then gave the ball to Luo Yin to assist him to complete a three-pointer.
At the same time, Zhang Jun and Aldridge’s pick-and-roll also began to fight. The threat of the pick-and-roll between the two was much greater than that of Luo Yin and Aldridge in the first quarter. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The defensive strategy chosen by the Hornets is to double-team whenever Zhang Jun hits a pick-and-roll, and in this way Aldridge will frequently have scoring opportunities.
Aldridge’s performance in this round of the series was significantly better than the first round of the series against the Rockets, and he once again ushered in an explosion tonight.
He made 5 of 7 free throws in a single quarter, made 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points and 3 rebounds.
In the last three minutes, the Trail Blazers had achieved a 5-point lead. Paul wanted to lead the team to counterattack, but at this time, a physical crisis that everyone took for granted appeared.

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Paul missed three consecutive mid-range shots, which directly ruined tonight’s game.
114:106.
The Trail Blazers made another victory.
“3:1! The Trail Blazers took the lead to get the match point.”
“In tonight’s game, the statistics of the three core players of the Trail Blazers are: Luo Yin 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Aldridge 23 points and 9 rebounds, Zhang Jun 26 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.”
“The three scored 73 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. This is the best night for the three in the playoffs this year. I want to say that the Trail Blazers have found their own winning mode. The three young players in their team The players have a tacit understanding of when to do what and how to distribute the ball.”
“Next, the game venue will be moved to New Orleans, and the game time will be two days later. Let us look forward to the next game together, whether the Trail Blazers youth team can create miracles.”
