Game start.
The Kings jumped to get the ball in the first round.
Mike Bibby did not organize the offense after advancing, but power forward Brad Miller mentioned the top of the arc to catch the ball.
Although Brad Miller is a power forward, his height of 211cm is actually a standard center player.
The Kings also have a 211cm Mickey Moore inside, so this is a classic twin-tower lineup.
However, the difference from the traditional twin towers is that Brad Miller plays a point center and is a very important offensive axis in the Kings.
Brad Miller attracted Aldridge's defense at the top of the arc, and Aldridge had to follow.
Because the former has a 39% three-point shooting rate this season, he is a very wonderful shooting center.
Mike Bibby slid into the penalty area after passing the ball, and Jarrett Jack raised his hands to block the passing path of Brad Miller and Mike Bibby.
Mike Bibby, who didn't get a chance, didn't linger, ran quickly to the weak side, and made an off-ball screen.
On the weak side, Kevin Martin ran back and used the pick-and-roll to cut to the bottom line. Both Luo Yin and Jarrett Jack reacted a little too late, and Kevin Martin directly ran out of the offensive opportunity.
Snapped!
Brad Miller hit the ground and passed the ball, Kevin Martin caught the ball and scored an easy layup.
"Very nice offense, the standard Princeton system."
Barkley couldn't help shouting excitedly at the commentary stand.
Princeton's tactical system pays great attention to space, observation, running and passing, and requires people to move the ball. Basketball cannot be stuck in the hands of one player for a long time.
This style of play pays special attention to the passing of inside players, because if you want the players on the field to move smoothly, you must open up the inside space, which means that the shooting ability of the players on the field is extremely tested.
This is also the reason why it was difficult for the Kings team to regain the top after losing Peja Stojakovic.
Switch offense.
Luo Yin played Kevin Martin in singles at the top of the arc. The latter's thin body was directly pushed to the basket under Luo Yin's breakthrough confrontation. Facing the defense of the Kings' inner double towers, Luo Yin chose a mid-range shot near the paint area. scored.
In tonight's game, the matchup between Luo Yin and Kevin Martin is an advantage. Although the latter is also a scorer, he relies more on the passing of his teammates. It is impossible to compare with Luo Yin in terms of personal singles ability.
Kenny Smith was a little surprised and said: "In the past, when the Kings faced such a sharp offensive shooting guard, Beast Artest would choose to supplement the defense, but he didn't play like this tonight."
"Just now, Artest followed Zhang Jun all the way in that ball, and he had no plans or ideas to help defend at all."
Barkley said with sharp eyes: "I am afraid that Artest is on the court with the task of coaching."
The Kings attack.
Brad Miller is still at the top of the arc to support, Mike Bibby and Kevin Martin double-cut to the basket.
This time the Trail Blazers learned to be smart.
Brandon Luoyin and Jarrett Jack stared at the offensive player's travel route in advance, squeezed ahead of the pick-and-roll and chased after it again.
It's just that everyone's attention on the field is on Mike Bibby and Kevin Martin, and center Mickey Moore suddenly hits the basket after a pick-and-roll.
Brad Miller tossed the ball into the sky with one hand, and Mickey Moore made an alley-oop dunk with ease.
The Blazers players on the field were all stunned, and Zhang Jun couldn't help but shine.
"This offensive tactic is played beautifully."
"Everyone is an offensive point. You can't watch anyone to defend. You can only defend every player in place."
"But how can a large number of pick-and-roll and cut defenders defend in place every time? He has a problem this round, and another one has a problem next round."
"As long as the passer's eyes are sharp enough to find the problem point in each possession and pass the ball, then each possession is an advantage offense."
Zhang Jun couldn't help but think of the Lakers' triangle offense and the Spurs' support style when Duncan was the center.
Good guy, Popovich and Phil Jackson are also playing Princeton, but the difference is that they both weaken the center's style of play at the top of the arc, but let Duncan organize at the waist or at the point. Hold the ball at the waist.
Compared with the center forward's play style at the top of the arc, the ball-holding organization at the waist and the offensive distance are very close to the basket, which means that the personal offense of the ball-handling person is strengthened.
It has to be said that these two guys really understand tactics. They know that there are offensive killers like Duncan, Kobe, and Jordan in the team, so the threat of holding the ball at the waist will be greater, attract more defensive attention, and pass the ball. will be easier.
Tonight's game was also broadcast.
Su Qun couldn't help but fell into the memories of the Kings' gorgeous storm.
"Between 1999 and 2004, the Kings, under the leadership of Adelman and Carell, shocked all the head coaches in the league with the Princeton tactical system."
"This style of play wasn't called Princeton at the beginning, it was called an organization center style of play."
"At that time, Chris Webber acted as the core of the playmaker. On the court, five people can pass the ball, can shoot, all love to organize, and can also score. They often make opponents dizzy."
Yu Jia also remembered the wave of King's attack a few years ago.
"It's just a pity that the core Chris Webber fell early under the ravages of years and injuries, and his bloated and slow body can hardly support him to continue to be the axis of the Princeton system."
"The Kings dismantled immediately, and Verati Divac, Peja Stojakovic, and Doug Christie left one after another."
"The only thing that remains the same is that this Kings team is still playing Princeton, and their offensive axis has changed from Chris Webber to Brad Miller."
on the pitch.
Luo Yin beat Kevin Martin again and made a foul.
Kevin Martin's thin body has also become the object of the Trail Blazers.
However, Nate McMillan on the coach's bench was not happy because of this scene, and even his face became more and more serious.
Monty Williams knew what the other party was worried about, reminded.
"Luo Yin blasted Kevin Martin like this, and Ron Artest still didn't rush to help or change defenses. It can only be said that Zhang Jun, who has scored 30+ in 7 consecutive games, became the Kings team tonight. Focus on the target first."
Nate McMillan nodded in agreement, and said: "The Kings may let Ron Artest be on the same level as Zhang Jun tonight. Their purpose is not only to break Zhang Jun's record, but also to win the game." idea."
Monty Williams frowned displeased.
Although the Kings are still playing their own famous Princeton system, and their offensive ability is also in the first echelon of the league, their record is only 3 wins and 4 losses.
In this fearful Western Division, with such a record, let alone ranking in the bottom half of the division, whether they can make it to the playoffs is a big question.
In fact, the Kings had this lineup last season and did not make it to the Western Conference playoffs last season.
Their defense is also poor. Even with Ron Artest's outside iron gate, they still averaged 105 points per game.
Monty Williams put it in a bad word, the Kings are so rotten, they want to beat us tonight?
I don't know how hot the Trail Blazers are now!
In the 8 minutes of the game, Zhang Jun was replaced by Nate McMillan. Although he did not become the main attack point on the court, he also made 2 of 3 shots, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block by relying on fast break counterattacks. .
So far, Zhang Jun has not felt that he has encountered any different defenses on the court, and Ron Artest has not faced a very fierce physical confrontation.
"Um?!"
"Interesting, Ron Artest was also replaced, so early?"
"He also has the task of leading the team to play the second team?"
Zhang Jun saw Ron Artest, who was also replaced, and was a little surprised. He didn't think Artest had the ability to be a substitute.
The first quarter is over.
Luo Yin broke out 6 of 11 in a single quarter, scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the Trail Blazers to a 29:23 lead over the Kings.
The second quarter begins.
Zhang Jun led the bench lineup.
Artest on the opposite side also walked onto the court at this time, as well as shooting guard John Salmons, point guard Beno Udri, power forward Kenny Thomas and center Spencer Hoynes.
Spencer Hoynes gave Zhang Jun a friendly look, and the two nodded.
This former ncaa's No. 1 tower has been the team's backup center since he was selected by the Kings with the 10th overall pick. He averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds in 14 minutes per game.
The development of Spencer Hoynes in the NBA is not good. Although the management of the Kings is very optimistic about this big man, their coaching staff does not seem to like this cumbersome and inflexible player on the court.
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. 】
Because they were playing Princeton.
The Trail Blazers have the ball.
Steve Blake took the initiative to find Zhang Jun's position after dribbling the ball at halftime.
"Forehead......."
Steve Blake looked at Ron Artest, who suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, a little at a loss.
The opponent's left hand was against Zhang Jun, and his right hand was stretched out to block the passing route, not giving Zhang Jun any chance to catch the ball.
"Finally give me strength."
Zhang Jun made such preparations as early as the first quarter of the game. The Kings left a top defensive player in the league for the entire first quarter, allowing Luo Yin to play an extremely efficient performance.
Zhang Jun wouldn't believe it if he said it wasn't aimed at him.
At this moment, Zhang Jun had already forgotten Monty Williams' advice. Facing Artest's brute force pressing on him, he stretched out his hand in front of Artest without hesitation, and started again. Occupy a favorable position to catch the ball.
Artest frowned and glanced at Zhang Jun.
That meant to say: It is your honor for me to defend you like this, and I am also the first dpoy player in nba history to be recognized by a small forward as a small forward, but if you resist, it is your fault.
Steve Blake has quick eyes and hands ready to pass.
But Artest suddenly stepped up and stood in front of Zhang Jun. He still did the same thing. He straightened his right hand to prevent Zhang Jun from receiving the ball.
"Good guy, Artest's defensive strength has been raised to the playoff level."
"He's really fighting!"
Zhang Jun was also annoyed. He pushed away Artest with his right hand, took a step back and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
call!
Artest felt the strong force on his abdomen. It stands to reason that Zhang Jun's force action would not produce such a strong force, and the opponent is still such a small body.
But this power reminds Artest of LeBron James, who has the best matchup.
"The strength of the little guy is quite strong, I underestimated you."
Zhang Jun finally received the ball, Artest twisted his neck, he opened his hands and stepped off the horse, staring at Zhang Jun with full attention.
Zhang Jun looked at Artest who was so serious, and he also came to fight. After all...this is a humanoid experience harvester.
"The experience of playing Artest alone should be much more than playing Iverson and Anthony alone."
call!
Zhang Jun, who was holding the ball, moved instantly, very fast.
The Kings even held a special video analysis class for tonight's game. Artest watched all of Zhang Jun's ball-handling offense highlights in 7 games.
He knows that this is a rookie whose breakthrough ability has reached the league's first-class level. The opponent has the speed of the Flash Wade and the rhythm of the court wizard Iverson. Although Zhang Jun seems to lose to the first two in terms of speed and rhythm, But he is the only player in the league who possesses both abilities at the same time, and he combines them very well.
The most important thing is that Zhang Jun does not slow down when he breaks through and changes direction. This is probably the only one in the world.
boom!
Artest took the initiative to defend Zhang Jun with his body. This is a very practical defensive trick, especially for players with fast speed.
Actively looking for confrontation, one can slow down the opponent's breakthrough speed, and the other can disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.
Although Zhang Jun has faced the opponent's active defense several times in previous games, neither Bowen of the Spurs nor whoever~www.mtlnovel.com~ has no defense given him by Artest The effect is so powerful.
"Zhang Jun was blocked in the process!"
"Beast Artest's defense is tough!"
"Huh?! No, why did I see Artest clenched his teeth and breathed in his mouth?!"
"Are you so annoyed?"
"Artest seems to have received a big impact. Zhang Jun should just be fast, and his physical confrontation is not like James the tank rushing into the interior."
Yu Jia looked at the camera in disbelief, and even Su Qun didn't see why.
But the picture on the court is indeed that Artest was a little uncomfortable when he was hit.
Zhang Jun didn't stop his breakthrough. After being blocked by Artest, he immediately turned around with his back and accelerated to the basket again.
Artest was passed.
Zhang Jun's back turn didn't slow down, it was still as fast as before.
This defensive position and offensive action can no longer think about blocking in front of Zhang Jun, and he can't keep up with blocking, so he can only use other defensive methods.
Artest cut the ball suddenly, and the timing of the cut was well grasped.
This defensive action was beyond Zhang Jun's expectation, and he didn't expect that his turning speed was so fast, and someone would be able to cut the ball.
Zhang Jun still took off.
Snapped!
Artest slapped Zhang Jun on the arm. Although Zhang Jun was prevented from attacking, the referee blew his whistle at the same time. Zhang Jun's continuous layup caused his arm to continue to rise.
boom!
Zhang Jun hit Artest on the chest with an elbow, and the latter let out another breath, and at the same time, his dark face flushed instantly.
"Uh uh, you brat, it really hurts!"
