[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
"In one offensive round, they passed the ball through the hands of 5 people."
"The teamwork of the Spurs is also very good. We have to find a way to block their passing chemistry."
Both Luo Yin and Aldridge were stunned by the Spurs' offense, and immediately thought about how to crack their offense.
Zhang Jun reminded us aloud: "Take care of our own offense first. This team is not only strong in offense, but defense is also their strong point."
Luo Yin and Aldridge nodded in agreement.
The Blazers attack.
Jarrett Jack and Aldridge picked and rolled from the outside, and after taking Tim Duncan out of the penalty area, he immediately hit the ground and passed to Randolph inside.
Although Randolph is a well-known problem player in the league, regardless of his personality and temper, his ability is really nothing to say.
Once again playing singles against Fabricio Oberto, Randolph turned forward and ran directly into the penalty area, but Michael Finley in the bottom corner came to help defend this time.
The Spurs' help defense is very different from other teams. Their help defense is not to drive players out of the penalty area, nor is it the traditional line of defense to limit the opponent's attack.
Their help defense is like a funnel, deliberately allowing offensive players to enter the penalty area, but it is not so easy to take off to complete the offense, and the front and rear pincers block the offensive players' passing routes at the same time.
It is equivalent to making it uncomfortable for the offensive player to end the offense by himself, and it is even more uncomfortable to pass the ball.
"Randolph is dumped!"
Zhang Jun on the bottom line is in an open state at the moment, but Randolph can't pass it out at all. To be precise, he should be able to throw it out, but the angle, strength and control of the ball will be greatly reduced.
"Throw the ball into the sky!"
Zhang Jun rushed to the penalty area, and Randolph, who was about to make a mistake, had no choice but to throw the ball into the sky.
Zhang Jun leaped high, and there was no one else on the field who could catch the ball except him.
But the moment Zhang Jun landed, Bruce Bowen came!
First, he put his feet on Zhang Jun's landing point on purpose, and at the same time, he slapped Zhang Jun's arms with both hands like two big tongs.
boom!
Zhang Jun who landed was knocked off the ball in his hand, and because he stepped on the instep of Bruce Bowen, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The referee did not call the penalty. No matter how you look at it, the ball belonged to two players fighting for the unowned ball, but Bruce Bowen was good at using small moves.
The Spurs switched offense and defense, Bruce Bowen made the ball, Tony Parker rushed into the frontcourt like a sports car, and scored a layup like a spinning top.
Both Luo Yin and Jarrett Jack who retreated did not block the ball.
"They seem to be pretty good at defending the paint."
Luo Yin couldn't help but said.
Jarrett Jack, who has been in the NBA for a longer time, said with a long breath: "The Spurs gained a lot of valuable experience defending O'Neal back then."
"They do have a way of defending big men."
Luo Yin suddenly made up his mind and said, "Let me attack."
Jarrett Jack nodded, this seemed to be a more sensible decision indeed.
next round.
Randolph was strong inside and continued to ask for the ball, but found that his teammates ignored him and began to play Luo Yin's offensive tactics on the outside.

"Hey! It's up to me to attack at this stage!"
Randolph couldn't help shouting dissatisfaction with his teammates.
Luo Yin raised his hand and pressed it, indicating that he would fight next.
Randolph held his breath and wanted to get angry, but he held back when he found out that it was Luo Yin's decision.
It was Bruce Bowen who defended Luo Yin. Luo Yin had already encountered the opponent's defense in his rookie season last season.
In that game, Bruce Bowen made Luo Yin only have a dismal shooting rate of 6 of 16 shots, so he knew very well that it was not a wise choice to force Bruce Bowen.
Aldridge raised the pick-and-roll, and the Spurs chose the same anti-pick-and-roll strategy as most teams, still defending around the back.
Looking at the completely empty situation in front of him after the pick-and-roll, Luo Yin shot directly without hesitation.
Swish!
Three points hit!
"Now all teams in the league try not to switch defenses when defending pick-and-rolls, avoiding the appearance of small plays, and at the same time choose to go around and defend to give the opponent a chance to shoot long. It only limits the opponent's chance to break through the inside."
"This is indeed a very good defensive option, but there are always some players in the league who are very good three-pointers, such as young players like Luo Yin of the Trail Blazers."
"In his rookie season, Luo Yin already made 38% of his three-pointers. So far this season, although he has only made 35% of his three-pointers, it is obviously not a point that can be released."
On the commentary desk, Kenny Smith is very optimistic about the player Luo Yin. After the end of last season, the opponent won the title of Yellow Mamba from the fans for his fierce style of play and fearlessness of physical confrontation.
"The Trail Blazers now have Luo Yin and Zhang Jun. It is almost certain that the reconstruction will be successful. They can indeed set higher goals."
"Tonight is the best stage to test the quality of the Trail Blazers."
Barkley grinned and said.
On the coaching bench of the Spurs, Popovich gave the players a look, signaling to continue to use this defensive strategy.
Zhu Gewei believes that he can accept Luo Yin's three-point shooting. Of course, it can be more accurate to say that the current offensive efficiency of the Spurs can completely accept Luo Yin's endless three-point shooting.

In the next round, Luo Yin's three-pointer unfortunately hit the top edge of the basket and did not score.
Duncan grabbed a long rebound, and when he turned around, the Spurs counterattacked.
Tony Parker crazily charged with the ball, but this time he found that there was always one person behind him and he couldn't get rid of it.
"It's that rookie!"
Tony Parker frowned. He was a little jealous of Zhang Jun's height and wingspan, so he didn't take off immediately after breaking through to the basket. Instead, he probed the ball into the sky and made a fake layup.
This is also a breakthrough fake that Parker often uses.
"Um?!"
Zhang Jun didn't take off, but went one step further because of Parker's hesitation. It was even more difficult for Parker to layup in this position.
Parker seemed a little confident in himself, he chose to lean on Zhang Jun's body and send his wrist forward.
"Nice layup pick!"

"This is definitely a textbook-like teaching of small fights and big fights!"
"The little French sports car is worthy of being a little French sports car!"
Before Kenny Smith and Barkley could finish their compliments, there was a thunderclap on the court.
Zhang Jun jumped up behind him, slapping Parker angrily with his long arm.
Kenny Smith froze in place, and Barkley had nothing to say.
"It can only be said that Parker's skills lost to Zhang Jun's talent."
"The little brat's arms are too long."
Zhang Jun defended the ball with difficulty, and he also defended well in the first quarter of the game as coach Nate McMillan needed.
Luo Yin came over and patted Zhang Jun's chest excitedly.
Zhang Jun was so tired that he was out of breath. In order to chase Tony Parker, he almost used the fastest speed in his life. If the other party didn't step on the brake suddenly, he might not be able to keep up.
Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers 19:14.
Zhang Jun was replaced early, but at the same time Bruce Bowen was also replaced by Popovich.
"Be careful of the old man's coquettish manipulation, usually Bruce Bowen is not replaced so early."
After all, Nate McMillan certainly knows Popovich's coaching ability in the shadow of a famous tree, and he already has a premonition of what the other party is going to do.
But there's nothing particularly good about Nate McMillan.
At this time, it is not right to continue to take Zhang Jun. The opponent tried his best to defend in the first quarter, and it is not right not to take Zhang Jun, because there is a high probability that the latter will be targeted in the second quarter.
"We can only see if Zhang Jun can withstand Bruce Bowen's defense in the second quarter."
The first quarter ended quickly.
The Spurs still lead 27:21.
The second quarter of the game.
Zhang Jun led the bench lineup.
Sure enough, Bruce Bowen was also replaced by Popovich, and walked directly towards Zhang Jun after playing.
The other Spurs players at this time were Manu Ginobili, Matt Bonner, Kurt Thomas and Brent Barry.
Like the Trail Blazers' use of Zhang Jun, Manu Ginobili, who appeared at this time, is the team's only offensive ball-handler and the core of the arrow-style offense.
"Manu Ginobili came on in the middle of the first quarter and played a very good performance in place of Michael Finley."
"Of course, Ginobili's physical strength has not been consumed too much. At this time, his role as a substitute is the same as Zhang Jun's role as a substitute."
"It depends on who is stronger between the two."
The game continues.
Steve Blake pushed forward with the ball and passed it to Zhang Jun. All the Blazers opened up and gave Zhang Jun a one-on-one offensive opportunity in the first round.
"Man, the old man said before the game that you scored 30+ in two consecutive games, and you are one of the best players among the rookies this year. He also asked me to specifically limit you."
"So let me see how good you really are."
Bruce Bowen applauded Zhang Jun and said.
Although such applause seems to be the encouragement of the NBA seniors to the juniors, only Zhang Jun knows how dirty Bruce Bowen is playing on the court, and the small moves are annoying to death.

"So, this is his declaration of war on me."
Bowen has been selected to the NBA's best defensive team 8 times in his career, and 5 of them are the best defensive team. Facing such a top defensive player, Zhang Jun is not afraid but very excited.
He lowered his center of gravity, and first made a tentative left breakthrough feint. Bowen's lateral movement quickly caught up with Zhang Jun's footsteps, and at the same time, he slapped Zhang Jun's ball holder hard with his hand.
Zhang Jun was protecting the ball. The big hand that was supposed to hit him retracted immediately when he was about to touch it.
Zhang Jun saw the subtle movements of the referee picking up his whistle.
Harmful! He naively thought that Bo Wen had changed his sex, but he didn't attack fiercely because he found that the referee was staring at him.
He changed direction drastically, broke through with his left hand and took a back dribble.
"So fast."
"Baowen was still passed by Zhang Jun."
"After all, he is 36 years old, and his physical function and speed are far from comparable to the younger Zhang Jun."
Zhang Jun passed Bowen and went to the basket in half a step. The Spurs did not have Duncan or Fabrizio Oberto on the inside at this time. The backup center was Matt Bonner, a strong offensive and weak three-pointer. The forward was Kurt Thomas, nicknamed Crazy Eyes, Dirty Kurt.
Matt Bonner was naturally sensible and didn't come to help defend, but Dirty Kurt rushed over decisively and pressed Zhang Jun with both hands.
This action is aimed at the players.
Zhang Jun has no fear. After playing against the Rockets in the last game, he has gotten used to this kind of defense.
boom!
Zhang Jun forced a layup and was pushed to the floor by Dirty Kurt without accident.
All! All!
The referee blows his whistle and calls a defensive foul on Kurt Thomas.
Zhang Jun wanted to stand up, but found that this guy, Bao Wen, was straddling his feet. If he stood up forcibly, wouldn't he suffer the humiliation of his crotch?
"Fuck you."
Zhang Jun pushed Bao Wen's belly with his hand, trying to push him away before standing up.
Unexpectedly, this kid fell straight backwards, his acting skills are not as good as your Oscar winner.
"This is a foul!"
"The referee pushed me, it's a foul!"
Bowen immediately clutched his stomach in pain and wanted to ask the referee for a foul. This is also a trick he has used for many years. It can not only make the opponent mentally lucky but also get a big gift package.
Bowen was already comfortably waiting for the referee's call, but he didn't hear anything for a long time.
"what happened?"
"For a rookie with no experience like this, I should be all right?"
Bowen sat up suspiciously, and found that everyone on the field was looking in the same direction. Bowen turned his head and saw an exaggerated scene that he had never seen in his career.
Zhang Jun clutched his feet and curled up on the ground, shouting, "He stepped on my foot just now, so hard."
What a strength! You kid can really act!
Bowen quickly got up and rushed to the referee to explain: "I swear, I never stepped on his foot just now."
The referee looked at Bowen meaningfully and said, "It's true that you didn't step on his foot, but this fall is quite realistic."

Bao Wen smiled awkwardly~www.mtlnovel.com~ Zhang Jun also stood up at this time.
"We are both actors, whoever is afraid of whom."
The game continues.
In the face of Bowen's defense and endless small moves, Zhang Jun's breakthrough power has dropped a lot, and there is Kurt Thomas on the inside who can throw him off like an iron head.
In addition, the Spurs' bench lineup is not bad, and with Ginobili leading the team, this is the first time that Zhang Jun led the bench lineup and lost the score.
At the end of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers had fallen behind 44:54, and the point difference was stretched to 10 points.
Second half of the game.
Luo Yin continued to fire from outside the three-point line, and he became the best player of the Trail Blazers in this game.
Relying on his 3-of-5 three-pointers in a single quarter, the Trail Blazers once approached the score within 5 points.
But the Spurs team is really speechless. Whenever the Trail Blazers are approaching the score, they can always find a way to reopen the score.
Duncan swayed here and there on the court, casually already got a double-double of 16+10.
Parker already had 17 points and 6 assists by virtue of his speed. Manu Ginobili, who came off the bench, was the most eye-catching. In the third quarter, he scored 20 points with 10 points in a single quarter.
Game four.
Nate McMillan looked at Zhang Jun and said, "We have a high probability of losing tonight. This is an old and stable Spurs team."
"So don't care about winning or losing at this time. This is a rare game against the defending champion. You can play freely on the court to gain the most valuable experience in your rookie season."
