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

Chapter 187 – You Pay Attention To Me

nba: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo 187, please give me some attention

On December 25th, the Christmas War.

The Blazers host the Celtics.

“It’s the annual Christmas fight again, Kenny.”

Listening to the old partner’s question, Kenny Smith responded with a smile on his face: “Yes, we once again stick to our jobs, commenting on the game for the audience and fans in front of the TV.”

“It’s an honor, isn’t it.”

Kenny Smith has long been used to not being able to stay at home on Christmas Day, especially in a city like Portland, which is too far away from his home in New York, so even if he rushed home immediately after the game, it would be too late.

In order to solve this problem, Kenny Smith has taken his family to the city where the game is commented since 2001, and they will have a festival in place on the night after the game.

Barkley said: “Man, stop talking about Christmas, let’s talk about these two teams.”

Kenny Smith flipped through the statistics in his hand and said, “The two teams in the Christmas game tonight are very strong teams.”

“The Celtics sit on the Big Three lineup and were the defending champions last season. At the same time, their overall defensive efficiency this season ranked first in the league, third in the league in interior defensive efficiency, third in the league in perimeter defensive efficiency, and averaged 5 blocks per game. The number of steals per game ranks ninth in the league, and the average of 8 steals per game is the sixth in the league, and the Celtics are the team that likes to play zone defense and zone defense most in the league.”

“It’s a very scary team, especially on the defensive end.”

“Another Trail Blazers team has achieved 24 wins and 6 losses this season, ranking first in the league. The team averages 113 points per game and ranks first in the league. It averages 11 three-pointers per game and ranks first in the league. , The team’s three-point shooting rate is 38%, ranking first in the league, and at the same time, the team averages five players in double figures per game, and the team’s average of 9 points per game by counterattack ranks fourth in the league.”

“The Pioneers are the best offensive team in the league, and the Celtics are the best defensive team in the league. Tonight will be a battle of offense and defense, a good show of spear and shield. “

Barkley interjected: “Zhang Jun of the Trail Blazers averaged 33 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game this season, shooting 52% from the field and 38% from the three-point range. He is currently on the scoring list The first place in the world, ahead of the Heat’s Dwyane Wade in second place is as much as 3 points.”

“If there is no accident, this year’s league scoring champion should have been determined to fall into the hands of Zhang Jun. He will win this award for two consecutive years. The last one to achieve this honor is Trish McGrady of the Rockets. “

This is still a sophomore!

Barkley couldn’t help sighing in his heart.

There is no doubt that a second-year player won the league’s scoring title twice. This will undoubtedly be the only one in history. No player can do this. If Zhang Jun really achieves this achievement, he will become the strongest player in nba history In the future, he will be indispensable in all the ranks of the best offensive player in league history.

“The key is that he is still the second on the mvp list.”

Kenny Smith reminded.

He didn’t understand this very much. A player who leads the team with the league’s first record, a player who scores the league’s first, and a player with a terrific PER value of 25.5 points is not on the MVP list. The first one?

It’s simply not fair.

Barkley smiled and said, “Because the Cavaliers still have LeBron James with a PER value of 26.1, Zhang Jun can only rank second on the MVP prediction list.”

At this time, the big screen at the scene showed the starting lineups of the two teams.

The Trail Blazers did not have Steve Blake on the roster tonight because of a wrist injury. He was replaced by backup point guard Sergio Rodriguez.

Nate Mike Miller is feeling extremely headache for this matter, because the Trail Blazers already have insufficient reserves on the point guard line, and now there is almost one Sergio Rodriguez available without Steve Blake .

At that time, the substitute stage will enter the rotation. Which player will the Trail Blazers use as a substitute, veteran Steve Francis?

But stop kidding, Nate McMillan is pretty sure Steve Francis can’t play now, let alone against the Celtics.

Throughout the regular season up to now, Steve Francis’ average playing time is less than 2 minutes per game. He can only play garbage time now. In addition, he is passing on the game experience to other players of the Trail Blazers , And help Zhang Jun improve his passing ability.

In other words, the Trail Blazers will inevitably face a period of no point guard lineup tonight.

Monty Williams looks at the Celtics’ full starting lineup tonight, point guard Rajon Rondo, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Kevin Garnett and center Ken Derek Perkins couldn’t help but said helplessly.

“The Celtics also played us as an imaginary enemy tonight. After all, among the western teams, we, the Lakers and the Spurs are recognized as the three strongest teams.”

“They are also very worried that they will meet us in the playoffs, so they practice tactics in advance to test each other.”

Nate McMillan said: “Man, I have an idea.”

“I want Zhang Jun to be the team’s point guard in the second quarter.”

Hearing this idea that couldn’t be more weird, Monty Williams couldn’t help but opened his eyes wide and said to the other party.

“Coach, Zhang Jun is a small forward. We usually let him play the shooting guard position when leading the bench, but now let him slide to the point guard position. Is this a bit too exaggerated? “

Nate McMillan nodded in agreement and said, “It’s a bit exaggerated, but do you have a better way to solve our point guard problem?”

Monty Williams shook his head quickly.

“So, this is our best way at present, and Zhang Jun has controlled the turnover rate very well this season when he is in possession of the ball. It’s a relief to have the ball completely in his hands.”

“And I’m also interested to see if he can stand alone and become a ball handler on the court now.”

“We have discussed it before. It is a pity that a player with such a high basketball IQ like him is not on the court as the main controller.”

Monty Williams very much agrees with Nate McMillan’s idea. Zhang Jun is really a player who should be the most versatile fighter. He should be on the court to grasp the offense. In short, he is the core of the ball.

Only in this way can Zhang Jun fully display all his abilities.

All! All!

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins.

Nate McMillan and Monty Williams also stopped discussing Zhang Jun’s use, and this matter is probably going to be settled tonight.

Midfield jump ball.

Garnett jumped high and easily tapped the basketball from Joel Pulzbiller’s head. Rajon Rondo took control of the ball and the Celtics executed the first round of offense.

Garnett put on the screen, and Rajon Rondo immediately went down after the pick-and-roll. Joel Puerzibilla chose to switch defenses, which is also a common defensive choice for the Trail Blazers.

Because their defensive ability is not very good, it is difficult to go around the defense and keep up with the original defender when defending the pick-and-roll. Therefore, in the defensive tactics of the Trail Blazers, except for Zhang Jun, any player can be double-teamed. Choose to substitute defense.

In this way, Sergio Rodriguez had to replace Wolverine King Garnett. He was originally a substitute player, and there were still many offensive and defensive problems. As a starter, it is simply difficult to do well in terms of defensive details.

Garnett went down after the pick-and-roll, and the basket was empty. Rajon Rondo quickly threw the ball into the sky, and Garnett took advantage of the situation.

boom!

Alley dunk.

“The Celtics played the first possession, with an assist from Rajon Rondo and an alley-oop dunk from Kevin Garnett.”

“Is this really the Celtics offense?”

“When did they play offense so easily.”

Barkley laughed happily.

Even though he was used to the Trail Blazers’ defense being not very good, it was the first time that the defense was so bad that it was almost unbearable like this round just now.

on the pitch.

Both Luo Yin and Aldridge noticed the defensive problem just now, and Luo Yin spread his hands and stared at Sergio Rodriguez with some puzzlement.

“Hey buddy, how did you defend that ball just now?”

“You let Garnett go inside so easily?”

Luo Yin rarely played with Sergio Rodriguez on the court, so it was very difficult to accept the picture in front of him.

Zhang Jun is different. He often plays with a rotation lineup, so he knows very well that Sergio Rodriguez only has such defensive strength and awareness. He really can’t do much on the defensive end.

Zhang Jun gave Luo Yin a nod, indicating that he would handle this matter.

Luo Yin compromised and didn’t bother his teammates to defend, but he didn’t forget to remind him before leaving.

“Sergio, I hope you can be tougher on the defensive end. Winning the game is a matter for all of us.”

Sergio Rodriguez looked helpless. He also knew that he had too many loopholes on the defensive end, so although Luo Yin’s words were ugly, he could only accept it.

“Brydon is not targeting you.”

Zhang Jun patted Sergio Rodriguez on the shoulder, then picked up the basketball on the ground and handed it to him.

Sergio Rodriguez walked to the sideline with the ball, passed the ball to Zhang Jun and said, “I know, he was targeting that ball, but man, I really can’t start.”

“I really want to start, but I know very well that I’m far from the quality.”

Zhang Jun received the ball to signal to advance, and at the same time turned his head sideways and said to Sergio Rodriguez beside him: “Then let yourself have such strength, if the Celtics play this tactic again in the next round, you You have to switch defenses as soon as possible, and you have to get in Garnett’s path ahead of time.”

“Small defense big, how can you defend if you let him go inside?”

“He’s Garnett.”

Hearing Zhang Jun’s suggestion, Sergio Rodriguez nodded seriously.

The Blazers attack.

After Zhang Jun advanced with the ball, he quickly handed the ball to Luo Yin, and then he ambushed at the ultra-long three-point line at the top of the arc.

Since Zhang Jun has a stable ultra-long three-pointer, the offensive position of the Blazers in the first quarter is almost the same. Zhang Jun, who is restrained by the top of the arc, can also quickly return to the defense when the Blazers fail to score. Block the opponent’s fast break counterattack.

This is also a point where the Blazers have improved significantly this season compared to last season. Their ability to defend against fast breaks and counterattacks has improved significantly.

Sergio Rodriguez didn’t have the ability to make three-pointers, so he took the initiative to penetrate the inside line, and while destroying the Celtics’ defensive formation, he opened the bottom corner, which is the closest point from the outside line to the basket.

Luo Yin began to perform singles, and Ray Allen was defending him.

Ray Allen has a good defensive awareness and rich defensive experience. After all, he was once the boss of the Sonics.

However, Luo Yin is not afraid of this kind of conscious and experienced defensive player. His singles is very aggressive and full of physical confrontation, so Luo Yin is most afraid of players who can match him physically and even have a slight advantage.

That would make him feel bad.

boom!

On the court, Luo Yin suddenly exerted force to speed up the breakthrough. The moment Ray Allen stepped forward to defend, the sound of the muscles colliding between the two was very clear.

Garnett raised the assist defense, and Luo Yin was afraid of the opponent’s assist defense ability, so he took off one step ahead of time and chose a mid-range shot.

Swish!

The basketball hits steadily.

“The Trail Blazers’ offense is really difficult to defend, even if you are the Celtics team with the best defense in the league~www.mtlnovel.com~ To be precise, it is Ray Allen, he is considered the current Celtics. One of the weakest spots on the field for the Celtics.”

“So in the first quarter of the Blazers’ game, Luo Yin singled out Ray Allen’s tactics. The entire substitution rhythm will be completely disrupted.”

The Celtics attack.

Rondo was very smart and called Garnett to raise the pick-and-roll again, wanting to continue to eat Sergio Rodriguez, a weak point in defense.

“Switch in advance!”

Under Zhang Jun’s reminder, Sergio Rodriguez switched defenses with Cus Aldridge in advance. This is also a very good defensive choice. After all, Rondo’s three-pointers are not allowed.

So even if he leaves him one step earlier, there is a high probability that Ron will not make a three-pointer.

boom!

Garnett wanted to force his way down, but found that an unknown European player was already standing in front of him. He didn’t have time to pull back, and directly knocked Sergio Rodriguez onto the court.

All! All!

The referee whistled decisively and called Garnett for an offensive foul.

“ah!”

Sergio Rodriguez lay on the court and yelled excitedly because he guarded Kevin Durant.

This shout startled the players on the field, and the fans in the entire Moda Center Arena were also shocked.

“Is this guy really our player? Why does he look so dumb?”

“no, he is not.”

This foul made Garnett hold the ball in his arms with both hands very upset, then hit the top with his head hard, and then smashed the ball to the ground like catharsis.

“Hey Kevin, you pay attention to me.”
