Luo Yin passed the ball.
The high-intensity defense of the Lakers really put a lot of pressure on him, and the Trail Blazers are already behind by 5 points, and there is still a faint momentum to continue to expand. In the first quarter, they fell behind by a huge point difference.
Changing Zhang Jun’s offense might really bring about some changes.
Zhang Jun was holding the ball, and Odom was defending him. All the other Lakers players on the field turned their eyes over at this moment.
As early as the regular season, the two had faced each other, and Odom was beaten badly.
“Co-defense!”
Odom yelled behind him, and at the same time took two steps back to the penalty area, leaving Zhang Jun with nearly 2 meters of shooting space.
Odom is very clear that defending Zhang Jun is the main defense against his breakthrough. Although his three-point shooting is not outrageously bad, it is less than half compared to his terrifying breakthrough threat.
In the pre-match preparations, Zen Master also specially arranged defensive tactics against Zhang Jun. As long as Zhang Jun chooses to shoot a three-pointer, it will be a very successful defense in Zen Master’s eyes.
Of course, in addition to breakthroughs, Zhang Jun’s mid-range also needs special attention. His mid-range threat is only a little lower than that of Kobe, and he may be regarded as a top-notch mid-range singles master in the entire league.
Faced with Odom’s defensive strategy, Zhang Jun still chose to break through with the ball.
With a large forward change, he quickly picked up his right hand and accelerated. Odom relied on the defensive space of two steps back to stick up immediately.
boom!
Odom exerted a lot of physical strength while defending. His strength advantage was obvious, and Zhang Jun was blocked.
Turning his back and walking to the left, while turning around, Zhang Jun observed the positions of the Lakers players on the field.
Gasol and Bynum took a small step up at the same time, and they were separated on the left and right sides, further reducing the breakthrough space in the penalty area, making it even more difficult for Zhang Jun to get to the basket.
Turn around and lean back and shoot directly.
Swish!
The basketball hits steadily!
“Very solid mid-range singles!”
“I feel that Zhang Jun’s middle distance is getting more and more stable, and his technical movements are very similar to Kobe’s, but Zhang Jun’s height and wingspan are better, so you can find that when Zhang Jun uses a fadeaway shot at the middle distance, Zhang Jun The movements and postures are softer and more graceful.”
Barkley keenly noticed that Zhang Jun’s mid-range singles had improved again. For a player of this level, the sense of oppression and performance displayed on the court by a little improvement is very exaggerated.
In the first two rounds of the playoffs, neither the Rockets nor the Hornets particularly defended Zhang Jun’s mid-range, because in their eyes, the breakthrough of the new scoring leader in the league was the most terrifying.
To be honest, recently I have been using reading to follow up, change sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
And in this round of the series, judging from Zhang Jun’s mid-range singles action with the ball just now, his mid-range threat is already extremely great, even surpassing his teammate Braden Luo Yin.
In the entire league, Barkley couldn’t find 10 players who were better than Zhang Jun in the middle distance.

“The Lakers may have to think about how to limit Zhang Jun’s mid-range. This kid has too much advantage in singles against Odom.”
Switch offense.
The Lakers still played a triangle tactic in which Gasol backed up and held the ball in the interior, and Aldridge was very difficult to defend.
His offense and shooting are naturally at a very good level, but his defense is really not Aldridge’s strong point.
Gasol hit the basket again.
“The Trail Blazers really can’t guard against Gasol. This scene reminds me of the previous series between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers.”
Barkley said suddenly.
Kenny Smith was stunned, and then recalled that round of the series. At that time, the Trail Blazers also couldn’t defend against Yao Ming, so after letting Yao Ming play a few rounds in the first quarter, they immediately launched a double-team defense.
It is precisely because of this defensive change that the Trail Blazers finally eliminated the Rockets.
“So if the Blazers want to beat the Lakers, they should limit Gasol inside like they did against the Rockets before?”
Barkley neither nodded nor shook his head in denial. In his opinion, this seemed to be the only way for the Trail Blazers to solve Gasol’s inside output, but the Lakers were not the Rockets. No problem?
on the pitch.
Zhang Jun attacked with the ball again and made a mid-range shot against Odom’s defense.
These two goals also helped the Trail Blazers bite the score hard.
In the process of returning to defense, Nate McMillan got up and came near the center line. He made a gesture to the players on the field, and then looked at Zhang Jun to signal him to implement this tactical change.
The Lakers attack.
After Gasol got the ball inside, he was double-teamed by Zhang Jun. This was the first defensive change in the game.
It’s just that Gasol was very calm when he was double-teamed by Zhang Jun, and he even felt like he was waiting for someone to double-team him.
Gasol quickly gave the ball to the right corner, and Odom received the ball openly. When he was about to complete a three-point shot, Luo Yin, who was at a 45° angle on the right, rushed over ahead of time.
The Trail Blazers, who have gone through the playoffs, are already very good in terms of overall defense and defensive coordination. Luo Yin’s rotation defense destroyed the Lakers’ first offensive point.
It’s just that Odom, who had no chance to shoot, quickly gave the ball to a 45° angle on the right, and Kobe took the ball and went straight to the basket.
After flickering in the penalty area, a very soft pull-bar layup was made.
The basketball hits steadily.
“This is the Lakers’ triangle offense, this is the Lakers’ offensive system, this is the greatest significance for the Lakers to get Gasol this year, and it is also the key to their subsequent series of winning streaks.”
Kenny Smith said excitedly.
Since the Lakers ushered in the joining of Gasol, they have created the only unbeaten record of 27 wins at home in the league. This record has not even been achieved by the Celtics, which has the best record in the league.
“Too strong, too incomprehensible.”
Barkley couldn’t help but sighed and said.
Without double-teaming Gasol, with the weak inside line of the Trail Blazers, the Lakers can feed out Yao Ming. Double-teaming Gasol also has the first-class passing ability among big players. With the blessing of the triangle offense, the entire Lakers team blossomed everywhere, and the offense was very smooth.

“It’s basically a dead loop.”
“Single defense can’t defend, double team can’t defend, no matter how you fight, you will die.”
“For a team with no defense at all, especially a team without interior defense, their ability to reach the Western Conference Finals is already the limit, and it is almost impossible to go further.”
“Also, the Lakers are truly a strong team in the league, and the Trail Blazers, I am only willing to admit that they are a playoff team.”
In the first quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers had nothing to do with the Lakers’ offense, unless they themselves were affected by the shot and missed the offense.
In order to keep up with the offensive efficiency of the Lakers, the Trail Blazers let Zhang Jun enter the offensive mode in advance. In the first round, he played a very high efficiency of 5 of 8, but it was not enough.
37:27.
After just the first quarter, the Lakers established a double-digit lead.
In the second quarter, Nate McMillan chose to let Zhang Jun take a break first, and Luo Yin and Aldridge, who entered the rotation early in the first quarter, played together to lead the team.
The Lakers’ bench is: point guard Jordan Farmar, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Luke Walton, power forward Ronnie Turiaf and center Vladimir Radmanovic.
Kobe did not dominate the offense in the first quarter, so he led the game during this time period.
Luo Yin once again suffered from Kobe’s restrictions on the defensive end. For the first time, he realized that the Kobe in front of him might be the real Kobe. Kobe in the regular season did not use the killing mode at all. Today’s Kobe is both offensive and defensive. On the other hand, the pressure on him is extremely strong.
More importantly, at this time, Kobe would take the initiative to exert physical confrontation, and there was still a lot of physical confrontation. Even Luo Yin, who is famous for his confrontation in the shooting guard position, could not take advantage of the confrontation with Kobe.
In just two minutes, Kobe made 2 of 2 shots and contributed 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal. He is extremely versatile. He also led the Lakers to an 8:2 offense.
The score was stretched further and further.
Nate McMillan finally got a little restless. He quickly took Zhang Jun, Luo Yin and Aldridge, and at the same time brought up the Blazers’ shooters.
“The Lakers should be careful, the Trail Blazers’ one-star shooting can kill people.”
“The reason why the Rockets and Hornets will lose 4:1 with a big score is all because of the lineup of the Trail Blazers in the second quarter.”
Game start.
Looking at the 16-point score behind, Zhang Jun lifted his elbow pad vigorously.
Channing Fulai came over and patted Zhang Jun on the head, and James Jones came over and slapped his good brother on the ass.
Both of them knew that Zhang Jun was going to kill the Quartet, and they were all cheering for their brother.
Barkley saw that most of the Lakers players on the field were casual and did not feel like they were facing a big enemy, so he couldn’t help but whispered something.
“The Lakers haven’t played against the Trail Blazers in the playoffs yet, so they are not very afraid of their second team. I’m afraid they will suffer a big loss.”

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Zhang Jun held the ball at the top of the arc, and Luke Walton was defending him.
Luke Walton is a very smart player and a good blue-collar player. Although his body is not outstanding, he can always see the details of the game, has a high basketball IQ, and is always on the court. Can keep calm.
Such a player is suitable for defending rhythm players who play with their brains. Zhang Jun is naturally not afraid to defend him now.
One step suddenly accelerated, and it was easier for Zhang Jun to pass Luke Wharton than Odom.
At this time, the Lakers did not have the defensive frame of Gasol and Bynum inside. The two short insiders, Ronnie Turiaf, Vladimir Radmanovic, and Zhang Jun, were only 208cm tall. I didn’t pay attention to it at all.
boom!
After surpassing others, Zhang Jun sent the tomahawk with a snap.
Kobe stared at Zhang Jun who was dunking on his head, his eyes seemed to kill, and at the same time he gave Luke Wharton a look.
Luke Wharton looked at Kobe helplessly, spread his hands, his body language was full of powerlessness.
“Let me guard against him!”
In the next round, Kobe will defend Zhang Jun.
Pull back, jump forward, and defend closely.
Kobe’s confrontation and actions in defense are not small, and Zhang Jun’s aggressiveness on the defensive end almost made Zhang Jun make a dribble error. It’s no wonder that Luo Yin scored so hard under Kobe’s defense.
Zhang Jun dribbled back a step to open up space, and Kobe quickly moved up to keep up, but at this step, Zhang Jun quickly started to accelerate the breakthrough.
Kobe, who was originally mentioned, was directly fixed in place by this breakthrough, and could only silently watch Zhang Jun pass him.
“Damn it! This little bastard!”
Kobe seldom spat trash on defense. He was very focused, so focused that it made people feel a little scary, but after the defense was over, his trash talk was really a lot.
Zhang Jun, who passed Kobe, broke into the basket again, and the two big men of the Lakers, Ronnie Turiaf and Vladimir Radmanovic, returned to double-team defense at the same time.
Zhang Jun didn’t choose to make a strong attack. After hitting the penalty area, he scored a goal and gave it to Chen Ningfu, who was wide open on the outside.
Raise your hand, move your wrist, and shoot the ball.
Swish!
The basketball hits steadily.
“The Trail Blazers chased for 5 points in a row! Reduced the point difference to 11 points!”
“Channing Fry’s three-point shooting is like a work of art. You can’t see the slightest deformation of his shooting hands and movements, no matter at any moment.”
Just when Zhang Jun was about to take advantage of the hot iron to continue attacking to help the team equalize the point difference, the Lakers suddenly called a timeout.
The taciturn Zen master Phil Jackson stood up and chewed the bubble gum. At the same time, he took the tactical board handed over by the assistant coach and made the tactical arrangement very calmly~www.mtlnovel.com~ Well played, man. “
Nate McMillan rubbed Zhang Jun’s head excitedly.
“Keep it going, the Lakers let their guard down with our second unit, they don’t know we’re a strong team with starting and bench.”
“Use three-pointers and breakthroughs to disintegrate their defense and let them know how good we are!”
“We have every chance to win tonight’s game!”
Nate McMillan’s excited words also helped the players regain their confidence.
The game restarts.

Kenneth Smith shouted excitedly in an instant: “The Lakers requested a substitution. They took Ronny Turiaf and replaced him with Bynum the Shark.”
“Master Zen wants to increase the inside defense and reduce the success rate of Zhang Jun’s breakthrough, so as to curb Zhang Jun’s personal offense and pass drive.”
on the pitch.
Zhang Jun who saw this scene had no fear.
The Trail Blazers attacked, and Zhang Jun once again singled Kobe from the outside, making a series of drastic changes in direction and making a step-by-step success.
Kobe was dazzled by Zhang Jun. He felt more and more that Zhang Jun’s breakthrough was a bit like Iverson’s. No matter how concentrated you were on defense, you couldn’t limit the opponent’s breakthrough.
Zhang Jun went to the basket again, and the little shark Bynum took a step forward to block Zhang Jun’s breakthrough route.
Zhang Jun jumped off the free throw line in one step, and Shark Bynum jumped at the same time.
“It’s on!”
“Is this a dunk or a block?!”
