Kobe, who has a strong mid-range shooting ability, circles the screen and mentions the free throw line to catch the ball. The defender will always be one step slower than Kobe under the screen. It is this step that Kobe has completed the mid-range shot.
Faced with the fierce counterattack of the Lakers, Zhang Jun could only hold the team on his shoulders again.
He carried explosives into the inside of the Lakers time and time again. This team, which is well-known in the league for inside frame protection and defense, was smashed to pieces by Zhang Jun’s breakthroughs again and again.
Gasol looked at Zhang Jun with his hands on his hips unhappily, and Bynum had been blown away by Zhang Jun.
“This guy’s breakthrough ranks at least in the top three in the league!”
Kenny Smith couldn’t help but said.
Unlike the last game when the Trail Blazers almost overturned the Lakers, the Trail Blazers were still playing according to the usual style of play in that game, and tonight the Trail Blazers became Zhang Jun’s team alone.
Kenny Smith dares to swear that Zhang Jun’s ball usage rate may have exceeded 35% tonight.
On the court, Zhang Jun’s performance of hitting the basket continued, and Barkley shouted: “20 points! Zhang Jun scored all the scores of the Trail Blazers in the first 8 minutes of the fourth quarter.”
“He helped the Blazers still lead the Lakers by four points.”
In the end, Kobe and Gasol’s counterattack was unsuccessful. Zhang Jun hit the inside line and got to the free throw line in the last 34 seconds. With two steady free throws, the Trail Blazers won Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
109:105, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Lakers!
Barkley said: “After the whole game, Zhang Jun made 20 of 34 shots and 7 of 10 free throws. He scored 47 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists!”
“This is the performance of the greatest individual in the playoffs this year, bar none!”
“The Trail Blazers struggled to take a game away from this mighty Lakers team.”
Kobe looked at the Blazers players celebrating on the court with his hands on his hips, and Zhang Jun who played a gorgeous game.
“47 points!”
Kobe looked at the statistics above his head. His performance tonight was 10 of 23 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
In terms of statistics, Zhang Jun was completely crushed.
The Lakers also lost.
Kobe was upset.
In the post-match interview.
Kobe was asked by the reporter: “The Lakers lost the game tonight, and Zhang Jun scored 47 points. Kobe, what do you want to say?”
Kobe has long been used to these menacing reporters, he swallowed and pouted his mouth and said, “So what?”
“The Lakers will not underestimate any opponent. No matter whether they are weaker than us or not, I will play better than Zhang Jun in the next game.”
…
The intense battle between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers continues.
The fourth game attracted the attention of countless fans and many players from all over the world. Yao Ming, who is actively preparing for the Olympic Games in China, also invited to the scene.

Yu Jia said: “Dayao, you have played against Zhang Jun, the Lakers and Kobe are also the Rockets’ opponents in the playoffs, so you are very familiar with these two, so what do you think of Zhang Jun and Kobe?”
Yao Ming thought for a while and said: “Kobe is a very special player. He can score the ball in various difficult ways on the court. I believe you have also seen a lot in this round of playoffs between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers. Without such a scene, the Trail Blazers also saw how Kobe made those incredible goals in the playoffs.”
“The people off the court may just say awe that Kobe can make such a goal, or cheer that he can even make this kind of goal.”
“The people on the court, especially Kobe’s opponents, will really feel powerless and shocked when faced with such a goal. This is a professional game, not street basketball. They can score this kind of goal and often score this kind of goal. Planting bulbs really requires very strong technology and strength.”
“In those games against Kobe, I often saw Kobe shoot like this on the court, and then I always prayed that his shot would not go in or not, but the result was always no surprise.”
“You can only pray to defend Kobe’s shots. It is difficult for you to cover him with his receding range. Zhang Jun, I believe that Chinese fans are already familiar with him. His physical talent and wingspan are here. How many times have you covered Kobe in the first round of the series?”
Yu Jia nodded again and again. He has always wanted to hear professional evaluations of these professional players on the players on the field. Yao Ming’s evaluation surprised him a bit, but it was indeed very pertinent.
At this moment, Yao Ming raised his head and thought about it, then pursed his lips and said, “Zhang Jun is a completely different kind of player.”
“I’ve never seen such a strong rookie.”
“The first time I met rookie LeBron James, I wondered, is this really a rookie? His physical talent is like an adult, and his technical ability and basketball IQ are not like a rookie at all. He is simply a rookie. Old fritters from the stadium.”
“I thought LeBron James was probably the strongest rookie player I’ve ever seen, but Zhang Jun gave me this feeling even stronger.”
“At first Tracy told me that there was such a special player in the NCAA, I really didn’t believe it, but after the first match on the court, I completely agreed with him.”
“Some people are just born to play basketball.”
“McGrady plays basketball for money, O’Neal plays basketball for money, most players in the NBA play basketball for money, it’s just a job, James and Zhang Jun are the only two who give me the feeling that playing basketball is not for money people.”
Hearing this, Yu Jia became curious, and asked anxiously, “Then why are the two of them playing basketball?”
Yao Ming continued: “James has had a lofty goal since he entered the NBA, and that is to become an outstanding player like Michael Jordan. Can you believe that a high school student who has not yet entered the NBA can refuse a 1000 card without hesitation? $10,000 check?”
“You only know that Reebok gave 18-year-old James a check of 10 million on the day of the negotiation, but few people know that the 10 million is just an advance payment, and what James rejected was a 10 million check from Reebok. 110 million annual super endorsement, and chose to sign with Nike, which has a smaller contract amount.”

“Zhang Jun makes me feel even more strange.”
“He came from the slums like James. I thought he would care about money, but I found that he hardly used the word financial management in his daily life, and he rarely appeared in celebrity occasions. He rarely took the initiative to participate in business activities. Almost completely focused on the game, and very mindful of his training.”
“Zhang Jun gave me the feeling that God gave him a body to compete in the NBA, and God gave him the prerequisites to polish any basketball skills. He is a more perfect player than James, a pure basketball player. I I bet that being the NBA scoring champion is just the beginning, and Zhang Jun will be the most dazzling player in the NBA for a long time to come.”
“Of course, he’s still a little lecherous.”
Yao Ming’s last words were caught off guard, and Yu Jia didn’t even react, and then hurriedly signaled Yao Ming that this is a live TV broadcast, you are always talking about some foul language.
Yu Jia suddenly asked curiously: “Then Dayao, why do you play basketball and try your best to get into the NBA?”
Yao Ming was taken aback when he heard this, and finally smiled embarrassingly. He didn’t say what was in his heart, and finally said, “For the Olympics.”
Yu Jia said: “Then who do you think will win this round of the series, the Trail Blazers or the Lakers?”
Yao Ming said without questioning, “The Lakers.”
“Zhang Jun and the Trail Blazers are too young. They can win the Lakers in a series, but they can never win the next series.”
on the pitch.
The Lakers suddenly double-teamed Zhang Jun tonight. From the beginning of the first quarter to the end of the game, Kobe, Odom, Luke Walton and others have been double-teaming Zhang Jun. He catches the ball comfortably.
This is a great test of the ability of the other players of the Trail Blazers.
Luo Yin and Aldridge bear the brunt, they must stand up and score for the team at this time.
But neither Luo Yin nor Aldridge can play a performance that can beat the Lakers. The Lakers have always had the upper hand from the beginning to the end of this game.
110:102, the Lakers made another victory.
Kobe fulfilled his promise after the last game, making 12 of 26 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
The big score was tied at 3:1, and the Trail Blazers were already hanging by a thread.
Luo Yin made 10 of 22 shots and scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Aldridge made 9 of 20 shots and scored 21 points and 8 rebounds.
Zhang Jun, who was double-teamed by the audience, only took 18 shots tonight, almost all of which were fast breaks and counterattacks. He hit 11 of them and scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.
The trio combined for 70 points and still lost the game.
“The next game will be moved to Los Angeles. For the Trail Blazers, their hope of winning the series is already very slim.”
………
Trail Blazers locker room.
The teammates had already left, and Luo Yin was sitting next to his closet, with thick ice packs still wrapped around his knees and ankles.
The team was in a desperate situation, and Monty Williams walked up and down the Moda Center arena in a bad mood.

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Tomorrow the entire team will head to Los Angeles for Game 5, and if the Blazers lose, they won’t even have to go back to Portland, and the 2007-08 Blazers season will end in place.
According to the usual practice, the players will gather once in the local area, and then take a group photo to bid farewell to this season together.
So, this will most likely be the last time at the Moda Center this season.
“Brandon?”
Monty Williams, who left after wanting to see the locker room for the last time, looked in surprise at Brandon Luo Yin who was still in the locker room. He couldn’t believe that the other party was still here.
Luo Yin, who was packing the ice cubes on his body, also looked at Monty Williams in surprise, and he said awkwardly: “I originally planned to leave after the ice application, but I didn’t expect to fall asleep because I was so tired.”
Monty Williams immediately felt vigilant. He didn’t believe that Luo Yin really fell asleep in the locker room. The teammates who left would not ask him to go with him, but if Luo Yin was just for icing himself Knees and ankles, this stay is too long.
Somewhat unreasonable.
“Brandon, is there something wrong with your knees and ankles?”
Monty Williams guessed.
Luo Yin also wanted to try his best to hide it and said: “It’s not what you think at all. My knees and ankles are really fine.”
Monty Williams didn’t believe this, the more he concealed it, the more serious it was. He immediately took out his mobile phone and said, “I’ll have the team doctor come over right away to take a look, and you just stay here and don’t move.”
Luo Yin stood up and wanted to stop the other party, but he didn’t expect the pain in his knees to make him immediately bark his teeth and crack his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Monty Williams didn’t dare to stay, and immediately dialed the phone. Soon the Trail Blazers’ team doctor arrived here. After a comprehensive examination of Luo Yin, who was still trying to defend himself, he concluded that A conclusion that surprised everyone.
“His menisci were very worn.”
Hearing this, Monty Williams was too shocked to speak.
“Extremely worn meniscus?”
Monty Williams can’t believe how a man with a severely worn meniscus can still play on the court, and it is also the stage of the playoffs.
On the other hand, Luo Yin, he was not surprised by this conclusion. In fact, he had a meniscus wear injury as early as in college. For this reason, he also cut the meniscus to help him recover quickly and return to the court. .
“I’m very experienced with this injury, coach, the meniscus wear only makes me feel pain when I exert force, it doesn’t affect my strength and movement, and it doesn’t affect me on the court to help the team score. “
Monty Williams knew that Luo Yin was worried that he would not let him continue to play, so he said this on purpose.
Monty Williams is also a player. Although his personal resume was not outstanding when he was a player, fortunately he was lucky enough to be in the NBA for 10 seasons~www.mtlnovel.com~ so he is very aware of Luo Yin’s injury How intense the pain of the disease is, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can persist.
“Stop fighting Brandon.”

“You haven’t been in a good state since the series with the Lakers. This is the impact of the knee injury on you. I will tell this to Coach Nate. He will definitely think the same as me.”
“Meniscus wear is not an injury that can affect your career, but if you let it go like this, I can guarantee that there will be big problems in the future.”
Hearing this, Luo Yin hurriedly pulled Monty Williams, and he pleaded with the other party, “Please don’t do this.”
“Coach, we finally reached the playoffs, we finally reached the Western Conference Finals, and the next game may even be the last game of the Trail Blazers.”
“Five years, the fans here have been waiting for their playoffs for five full years, and this team has been waiting for five years to rebuild.”
“Coach, I was selected by the Timberwolves, but they didn’t want me, just because they knew in advance that the Trail Blazers wanted to select me, so they intercepted in advance, and then made a trade to obtain more benefits.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful to the Trail Blazers, and from that moment on I told myself to do something for the fans here on this team.”
“Coach, now is the time for me to do something for this team and the fans here.”
