[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
The second quarter begins.
Steve Blake held the ball across half court, Zhang Jun received the ball at the top of the arc, and Chuck Hayes was defending him.
As early as the beginning of the season, Zhang Jun played against Chuck Hayes and was deeply impressed by the opponent's aggressive defense.
But Zhang Jun really wanted to say that he is no longer the stunned young player who just entered the league back then. After a season of growth, he has fully adapted to the defense and confrontation at the NBA level. Successfully gained weight to 100kg.
Zhang Jun holds the ball.
Chuck Hayes got up, and he gave Zhang Jun a hard push with his left hand.
This push was very subtle. In the eyes of the referee, it looked like Chuck Hayes had pushed his body up to confront Zhang Jun, and there was nothing particularly dirty about it.
Zhang Jun tilted his upper body and stood on both feet, trying to maintain his body's center of gravity, and at the same time quickly took a step back to find a breakthrough space.
Chuck Hayes immediately caught up with the defense who wanted to impose high confrontation again, Zhang Jun suddenly accelerated instead of retreating.
Whoosh!
"This step is too fast!"
"Zhang Jun, who didn't take the initiative to attack throughout the first quarter, launched his own personal offense in the second quarter."
"His desire to attack is very strong, and his first step is astonishingly fast. I believe McGrady on the Rockets' bench must have remembered his uninjured self from Zhang Jun's first step."
Zhang Jun passed Chuck Hayes in one step and quickly sprinted towards the basket.
Yao Ming raised his defense, and Zhang Jun took off one step ahead of the free throw line.
boom!
!
"My God, Yao's name on the Great Wall of China has been detained!"
"This is 226cm tall!"
"This moment is so shocking, I even think this dunk ranks among the top 50 dunks in NBA history!"
After dunking the ball, Zhang Jun naturally backed away, his eyes full of viciousness towards the enemy.
Yao Ming didn't say much, he looked at Zhang Jun with the same fighting spirit, and shouted a tomato.
In the next round, Yao Ming pushed for the ball in the paint and almost overwhelmed Travis Outlaw.
Travis Outlaw is only 206cm tall and weighs only 98kg, not even as heavy as Zhang Jun is now.
And what is Yao Ming's weight, 136kg! He is a full 38kg heavier than Travis Outlaw.
Just as the Rockets thought, if the Trail Blazers dared to take Travis Outlaw up as a center during this time period, they would inevitably suffer from Yao Ming's explosive hammer inside.
"etc!"
"The Trail Blazers are encircled by 5 people!"
The moment Yao Ming received the ball, everyone in the Trail Blazers rushed over. Travis Outlaw, who was about to be knocked out by Yao Ming and suffered an internal injury, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Yao Ming was also frightened by the posture of the Trail Blazers, and the 5 people surrounded him! He has been playing in the NBA for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen such an exaggerated double-team defense.
"It seems that the Trail Blazers are ruthless. In this quarter, Yao Ming must not let Yao Ming easily complete the offense on the court."
This kind of defense Yao Ming can only pass the ball, but he realized some problems the moment he passed the ball.
"Who the **** should I pass it on to!"

Carl Landry's mid-range shot is very accurate, but when the ball is passed to him, the Blazers' defense must also be in place quickly.
And to Chuck Hayes?
Yao Ming quickly shook his head, what's the use of passing to that guy, his defense is good, but he almost didn't attack, so Yao Ming realized that using Chuck Hayes to defend Zhang Jun is a double-edged sword.
On the defensive end, Zhang Jun can be restricted, but on the offensive end, Zhang Jun doesn't like him at all.
Bobby Jackson has a certain shooting ability. This season, he averaged 35% of his three-pointers per game, which is also a good point. Although Aaron Brooks is only a rookie this year and is still very young, he also has a 34% three-pointer.
Yao Ming quickly passed the ball to these two people.
Bobby Jackson made a decisive shot after receiving the ball.
Duang!
His first attempt at a 3-point shot was solid.
Kenny Smith immediately became worried, and said: "This is not good news. If the Rockets can't make a three-pointer for a long time and can't punish the Trail Blazers outside the three-point line, then Yao Ming will definitely continue to suffer from this situation in the interior." The terror double-team."
Barkley was already guilty, and said: "The Rockets' management has always been famous for their picks and searches. They obviously had a lot of choices at the beginning of the season, but they didn't help Yao Ming to introduce outside shooters. "
"Dikambe Mutombo at 41, Chuck Hayes who can't attack at all, rookie Aaron Brooks..."
"Give Yao a bunch of players who can't attack, and he will inevitably face extremely terrifying defenses on the court, and he will not be able to release his power at all."
"Fans and commentators all over the world clearly pointed out the biggest shortcoming of the Rockets last season. They lacked outside shooters, but the management of the entire league is very aware of how scarce and expensive outside shooters are, especially those who can defend. .”
"So the Rockets chose to step back in front of the luxury tax."
"Look at O'Neal back then, what kind of shooters the Lakers equipped him on the perimeter, look at Tim Duncan of the Spurs, what kind of teammates did he have on the perimeter."
"These two teams have pointed out the way for the Rockets, but they have to choose to build such a cheap lineup, and only want to win cheap and easy-to-use players in the free market."
"How can there be so many cheap and easy-to-use players!"
Barkley's commentary quickly spread all over the world, and for a while aroused the anger of all fans, especially Chinese fans far away across the ocean.
This is also the most important reason why the Rockets play so hard in the playoffs every year. It is not that the Yao-Mike combination is not strong, but that injuries and lineup problems have had too much impact on them.
on the pitch.
Zhang Junmou broke through again and entered the penalty area with all his strength. On the court, he directly became the most difficult player to defend. No matter what defensive strategies the Rockets and Chuck Hayes used, they could not stop him from entering the penalty area. basket.
Then the Rockets will have to double-team and defend.
"Zhang Jun started passing the ball!"
Channing Fry caught the ball from the outside and fired directly.
Swish!
Hit!
"This guy is an anti-aircraft battery!"

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
"Channing Fry! This season, the player who averaged 37% of his three-pointers per game, and his open three-pointers even reached a terrifying 48%. Players with at least two 3-point attempts are in the top five in open field goal percentage."
"Channing Fry's open threes are terribly accurate."
Barkley suddenly reacted, looked at his good partner and said, "No, the Trail Blazers are not just defending Yao Ming to death, they are going to compete with the Rockets for three points!"
Kenny Smith took a breath and also reacted.
"The Trail Blazers are not playing defensive tactics but playing offensive tactics. They have to compete with the Rockets offensively, and they still fight for three points."
Thinking of the shooting percentage of the group of ice shooters on the outside of the Rockets, and thinking of a bunch of sharp shooters on the outside of the Trail Blazers, Kenny Smith suddenly sat on the bench.
"I think the Rockets are going to collapse in this quarter, and they will be beaten by the Trail Blazers."
Aaron Brooks also missed a three-pointer in the next round. It would be completely acceptable to miss a shot like this in the regular season, but in the playoffs, missing two consecutive offenses is already very dangerous.
Turning around, Zhang Jun suddenly gave James Jones a point, and the latter also hit a three-pointer!
"The Rockets called a timeout! Coach Rick Adelman can't sit still!"
After walking off the field, Zhang Jun and his teammates applauded excitedly. They made two consecutive defenses and scored two. They also directly overtook the score.
The Rockets took down Chuck Hayes, who had the worst offensive ability on the field, and replaced McGrady in advance, hoping to make the Trail Blazers pay the price of fiercely double-teaming Yao Ming.
But even so the Trail Blazers still continue the same defensive strategy, they just want to compete with the Rockets for three points.
As soon as McGrady came up, he hit a three-pointer to help the Rockets stabilize the situation, but when he turned his head, Zhang Jun went to the basket again and picked McGrady to score a layup, which caused an additional penalty.

Barkley couldn't help sighing at the commentary stand.
"The new league scoring champion has launched an impact on the former league scoring champion. This is not just a battle between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers, but also a battle between Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jun, so who is the scorer? The most terrifying machine."
Zhang Jun, who was already red-eyed on the court, glanced at McGrady, walked to the free throw line and held the ball tightly.
McGrady has never seen such a tyrannical rookie in his career. Whether it is his temper or his skills, is this really a rookie?
McGrady remembered Kobe was almost knocked down by Zhang Jun in the opening game. At that time, he was still mocking Kobe for being knocked down by a young boy, and Kobe even rarely responded.
"Now it seems that Kobe should have recognized the strength of this rookie."
Zhang Jun and McGrady took the lead in the subsequent games. McGrady did not limit Zhang Jun much on the defensive end, so Rick Adelman had to replace Battier in advance after two rounds.

In the playoffs, every game has a reason why it must not be lost.
The second quarter is over.
Yao Ming only made 1 of 2 shots in the entire second quarter. He played a full 9 minutes in this quarter and also sent 3 assists.
McGrady went berserk again, making 3 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, helping the Rockets stabilize the situation.
But the Trail Blazers made 7 of 16 three-pointers in a single quarter, and played extremely terrifying efficiency. Yao Ming's bulky body and shortcomings that could not be prevented were also infinitely magnified by the Trail Blazers.
68:63, the Trail Blazers have overtaken the score.
Second half of the game.
The Trail Blazers starting lineup again.
Luo Yin used the pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, and after attracting Yao Ming's defensive attention, he immediately distributed the ball to the weak side.
Then Zhang Jun steals McGrady, and a high-throw pass helps Luo Yin go straight into the air and fight back.
Zhang Luo is here!
The Trail Blazers suddenly played a wave of 8:2 offensive high slots, directly extending the lead to 10 points.
"In the playoffs, the battle changes rapidly, and if you are not careful, you will be hit head-on by your opponent."
"The Rockets hit the bricks tonight. The three young cores of the Trail Blazers and the terrifying outside shooters are all in hot form."
"It's very difficult for them to come back."
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets have not given up, and Rick Adelman has no intention of giving up.
He readjusted his tactics. Since it was difficult for Yao Ming to get the ball inside, he would return to their favorite offensive tactics in regular games.
McGrady holds the ball, and Yao Ming puts up the pick-and-roll to destroy the opponent's defensive formation.
McGrady used the pick-and-roll to break through Joel Puerzbilla. After a one-handed dunk, he punched aggressively and shouted excitedly.
This goal also allowed the Rockets to narrow the score to single digits. All the players of the Trail Blazers on the field broke into a cold sweat, and they didn't even know how to play.
"That's the weakness of players who lack playoff experience."
"Don't say it, the Rockets might really be able to come back."
Swish!
Zhang Jun suddenly entered the middle distance and scored a fadeaway shot against McGrady's defense.
This ball calms down the army!
"This is leaning back! It's really freehand."
"I haven't seen such a comfortable mid-range shot in the league in a long time."
"Of course, there are still many masters of mid-range shooting in the league, but Kobe's mid-range shooting is very hard, obviously there is a feeling of too much force on the court, Dirk Nowitzki has that relaxed and freehand style Feels like, but he's a big guy and fadeaways don't look that good."
"There is another Anthony. His mid-range shooting is good at everything, but his shooting percentage is a little bit worse."
Barkley took a deep breath. When had he never seen such a free fallback shot? He tried hard to think about it, and finally determined that it was the brine egg that he had never seen again after retiring.
"Don't underestimate Zhang Jun's fadeaway shot. Although it is much less threatening than his breakthrough, he is sure to make such a shot."
Kenny Smith echoed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
McGrady, who was singled by Zhang Jun, felt a fighting spirit in his chest. He immediately asked for the ball from the waist, and was also ready to show off a wave of his fadeaway shots.

Front dribble and back dribble.
This is Maddie's trick.
The speed of dribbling behind the body is very fast, flying directly past the defender's eyes, McGrady pulls the ball with his left hand behind his back, takes a step to the left, turns and leans back.
"This large stride radius is a bit too exaggerated. McGrady's post-up singles are different from most stars who are good at this kind of skill."
"Because of his excellent wingspan, he has a lot of lateral dribbles, back dribbles and strides when he is in the back, and it is difficult for opponents to defend."
It's just that McGrady forgot that Zhang Jun is also a player with a very good wingspan and even exaggerated, he also took a step across and directly greeted him.
"The ball interfered."
"But in!"
"Tracey McGrady, strike!"
In the next round, Zhang Jun returned a mid-range step-back jumper.
The smell of gunpowder on the field is already enough.
McGrady broke through and went inside, causing a foul by Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun immediately returned a breakthrough, riding directly on him.
"Rockets, it's not enough to rely on McGrady to attack like this, you have to defend! After all, you are behind now."
"Regardless of whether the game is won or lost, the personal battle between McGrady and Zhang Jun for the top scorer is about to make my heart beat. This is definitely the best matchup in the first round of this year's series!"
