And being obedient means that the players lose their creativity on the court and cannot fully exert their own strength.
So in Su Qun's view, if Zhang Jun really came from a Chinese player like Dazhi and Yao Ming, then he may never be able to grow to this point, and whether he can even play in the CBA is a big problem.
Because this Diao Mao is still a rookie this season, he has not played according to the arrangement of Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan many times.
But don't say, although he didn't play according to the tactics, the timing and key points of the choice of change are very precise, and the effect of the change is also very good.
"I think that's why both Nate McMillan and the Blazers are willing to accept that Zhang Jun occasionally escapes the team's tactics."
"It did have a very good effect."
"Of course, Zhang Jun also played like this when he was here."
on the pitch.
The Rockets double-blocked outside, and Carl Landry and Chuck Hayes blocked the opportunity for McGrady.
Zhang Jun was blocked again, and it was James Jones who the Trail Blazers switched to defend McGrady.
The military training screen came again.
Breakthrough, emergency stop, pull-up jumper.
Swish!
Hit!
"McGrady has shot 5 of 7 in the second quarter. He hit James Jones almost one-for-one."
Switch offense.
Zhang Jun was obviously affected by his physical strength on the court, and his running, jumping, and offensive efficiency began to decline. Chuck Hayes, who was stalking him in front of him, was also panting and exhausted.
But Chuck Hayes does not attack, so the decline in physical strength has little effect on him, and his goal is to kill Zhang Jun and reduce his scoring efficiency.
The Rockets have achieved their goal and achieved the desired effect.
"Tonight, the Trail Blazers failed to catch up with the Rockets in this time period, and just tied with them in a single quarter."
"But the Trail Blazers relied heavily on the team's performance during this period of time in the first two games. Now they are suppressed by the Rockets' change, and they have not played the expected effect at all."
"Then it won't be that easy for the Trail Blazers to beat the Rockets."
All! All!
Nate McMillan called a timeout.
"Zhang Jun, come down and rest for a while, we still have a chance in the third quarter."
Zhang Jun took a few gulps from the water glass handed over by the staff next to him, and then threw it on the ground angrily.
His teammates saw his anger, and Aldridge, who got up and was replaced, did not forget to pat Zhang Jun on the shoulder and said when he left.
"We will go up and teach the Rockets a lesson, you can sit down and rest at ease."
Luo Yin also appeared in the game, and he gave Zhang Jun a reassuring look, but when the two walked onto the court and saw that the Rockets also made substitutions and adjustments, they were really a little confused.
"The Rockets replaced McGrady with Yao Ming?!
"
"Oh my god! Without Zhang Jun on the court at this time, the Trail Blazers lack the best points in perimeter height, speed, and defensive awareness. What can they do to limit Yao Ming's performance in the interior?"
"Moreover, Aldridge and Luo Yin are both inside and mid-range attacking players, and their impact and breakthrough abilities are not as terrifying as Zhang Jun's. That is to say, Yao Ming's frame protection and defense in the inside are back. "
"The Rockets' substitution adjustment is beautiful!"
"Staggering Yao Ming and Zhang Jun, letting McGrady lead the team to rotate the lineup, the problems that plagued them in the two games were directly solved."
Su Qun really wanted to say that without Zhang Jun, Yao Ming would no longer be so constrained inside, so the picture of him standing out from the crowd in the penalty area came out.
In fact, before the start of the series, everyone thought that Yao Ming would have a terrifying performance against the Trail Blazers inside.
Now, finally.
The game continued in the second quarter.
As soon as Luo Yin came up, he singled Sean Battier from outside the three-point line and completed a three-point shot.
But turning around, Yao Ming directly dunked and dunked the frame with one hand on the inside.
The Blazers still want to speed up, but without Zhang Jun, there are huge problems in fast break threat, counterattack speed and effective hit.
"The shortcomings of Yao Ming's slow movement on the court have also been perfectly solved."
"I have to admit that the Rockets have made a very good adjustment. Rick Adelman's tactical arrangement and rotation are very targeted."
Monty Williams took a deep breath and sighed.
Nate McMillan frowned. He was trying to think about how to solve McGrady's team in the second quarter, or how to overtake the Rockets in the next three or four quarters.
"You all only saw the changes of Yao Ming and McGrady, but in fact, the reason why the Rockets can achieve such a good effect with this substitution and change is not only the changes of Yao Ming and McGrady, but also Chuck Hayes and Sean Battier's adjustment changes."
"Chuck Hayes started chasing Zhang Jun again, but compared to the first game, without Yao Ming on the court, the Rockets don't need outside players to open up space."
"That is to say, now they can take Chuck Hayes, who is the most annoying outside defense, to limit Zhang Jun without affecting their own offense."
"There is also Sean Battier, the Rockets used him to defend Zhang Jun in the first quarter, but after seeing that Zhang Jun's offensive firepower in the first quarter was not very strong, he adjusted to Luo Yin in this game .”
"Luo Yin's game relies heavily on physical confrontation, and Sean Battier is a player with excellent experience, awareness, and confrontation."
"That is to say, Zhang Jun is exhausted, Luo Yin is limited by the confrontation, and the performance of our two most important players will be greatly affected."
This is where Nate McMillan has a headache, and he has never thought of a solution.
Monty Williams on the side exclaimed again and again. He didn't expect the Rockets to have such a lot of knowledge in such a simple substitution. No wonder they played so well in tonight's game. So good, it's no wonder that Nate McMillan has been unable to think of a solution.
On the court, the Rockets played a 7:2 spurt and stopped the Trail Blazers again.
The second quarter ended quickly.
The Trail Blazers trailed by a full 9 points 50:59.
In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers made their debut, and the center of gravity of the ball became Zhang Jun and Luo Yin.
Zhang Jun broke through from the weak side, and Luo Yin ran back from the bottom line and cut in.
One pass, one jump.
Dunk dunks!
"Zhang Luo's connection is here again!"
"The perfect cooperation and tacit understanding from Zhang Jun and Luo Yin, not to mention the combination of the two even reminded me of the Jerry West + Elgin Baylor combination, and the world-renowned Jordan + Pippen combination."
"These two are definitely one of the best perimeter duos in the NBA right now."
In the next round, Luo Yin steals a fast pass, Zhang Jun rushes forward without hesitation, and the ball arrives.
boom!
Zhang Jun raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger to signal the backcourt, and Luo Yin patted his chest to signal the same.
The two teamed up to set off a wave of 11:4 offensive highs. The fans in the entire Toyota Center Arena were beaten to silence, and they were even extremely worried that their home team would be overtaken by the two melons of the Trail Blazers.
Yao Ming stood up at the critical moment.
McGrady consumed a lot of physical strength in the first half, and Yao Ming had to take the initiative to stand up at this time.
He first made a small inside hook and scored two points for the team to stabilize the situation, and then he turned over and a fadeaway jumper from the right waist surprised everyone.
"I don't know if this is the first time I've seen Dayao attack with a turnaround jumper this season."
"He really has the basket, and he is really accurate. Although this kind of offense is rare among centers, it is not without it. Dameng Olajuwon, that's how he played back then."
On-site commentary desk.
Barkley is also very clear that there are many shadows of Olajuwon in Yao Ming's post-up technique. He is also a post-up master, and he is a completely different type of post-up player from Olajuwon.
Olajuwon has a lot of footsteps in the back and Barkley has a big **** in the back.
That's the difference.
Yao Ming was 4 out of 5 in the quarter, so terrifying.
The Rockets also relied on Yao Ming's performance in this quarter to resist the Blazers' counterattack with difficulty.
"It seems that there is a high probability that they will win this game."
"We can clearly see the hard work and fighting will of the Rockets players on the court. All members are determined to win this game. After all, if they lose again, it will be 3:0."
Yu Jia said with a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, the combination of Yao Ming and McGrady is more star-studded than the three young cores of the Trail Blazers, but since the beginning of the entire series, who is the best player in the series is neither Yao Ming nor McGrady, but It's Zhang Jun, the rookie of the year on the opposite side.
In the first game, he did not lose against Hong McGrady. In the second game, he repeatedly went inside to limit Yao Ming and achieved very good results.
It can be said that Zhang Jun's performance is not like a rookie player at all. He should have been suppressed by Dayao and McGrady.
Su Qun agreed and said: "The Rockets broke the Blazers' oppression in the second quarter tonight, and they did it very well. It can be seen that the Rockets' coaching staff headed by Rick Adelman has been resting for the past two days. It took a lot of work and effort over time."
"Don't look at the current big score or the Trail Blazers have the advantage, but I think the Rockets can stand out."
Game four.
Both Zhang Jun and Luo Yin's physical strength have been seriously affected, and their scoring efficiency has begun to decline. At this time, Aldridge took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility.
But his growth was a little slow compared to Zhang Jun and Luo Yin, so he failed to lead the Trail Blazers to a wave of offense.
"In my opinion, the Rockets will be the team that can have the last laugh in this series."
Barkley said suddenly.
Kenny Smith on the side was stunned, and suddenly jumped up and cursed: "That's not what you said in the last game, you said you changed teams and joined the Trail Blazers again."
"Why did Team Rocket suddenly come here today to have the last laugh?!"
Barkley laughed and said: "I don't think the Trail Blazers have a solution to the Rockets' change. They will be consumed by this team. This is experience, playoff experience."
"So, the Rockets are still the team that is more likely to go to the end, although the current big score is that the Rockets are still behind."
"However, as long as they win the next home game, the balance of victory will be completely tilted."
Finally, the game is over.
The Rockets defeated the Trail Blazers 114:106, pulling the big score to 1:2.
Yao Ming scored 30 points and 11 rebounds, and McGrady scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The Rockets Yao Ming teamed up to score 61 points and 17 rebounds.
In comparison, Zhang Jun only made 11 of 23 shots tonight, 6 of 7 free throws, 28 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
In the Trail Blazers, his stats are difficult to help the team win the game, or he can only win such stats alone, and they can't beat the Rockets.
The dressing room after the game.
All the players of the Trail Blazers were dead, and they were all hit by the loss of tonight's game.
Whether it was the regular season or the first two games of the playoffs, the Trail Blazers played extremely smoothly and were always able to limit each other on the court.
And tonight, they felt the pressure of the playoffs for the first time.
The roar of the fans, the infinite fighting will of the opponents, as well as the unaccustomed tactics and style of play.
"Hey guys, cheer up."
Francis applauded and encouraged everyone: "We just lost one of the games. It's not a big deal. No team can go to the playoffs without losing a game."
"That ok team back then was so invincible, so arrogant and domineering that it overwhelmed the entire league. Didn't it also lose to Iverson in the finals."
"So don't worry about those who are there or not, this game is over!"
"Don't think about it after passing, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com We have to enter the preparations for the next game as soon as possible, and we are still playing away."
Francis' encouragement was very effective, and Luo Yin was the first to cheer up.
"That's right, what's the big deal, we must beat up the Rockets in the next game to let them know that we are the stronger team."
Although Aldridge was a little dull, he clenched his fist and shouted at this time: "I want to beat Yao Ming violently, I can beat him."
Outside the locker room.
Nate McMillan hurried to the locker room.
Monty Williams also ran up and asked curiously: "Coach, what are you so anxious about?"
Nate McMillan explained as he walked: "Our players are too young. This is their first playoff game, so it may be difficult to adjust to such a loss."
"I'm worried that their morale will be affected by their failure, so I want to come and see them quickly."
Monty Williams also took a deep breath after hearing this, because of the team's outstanding performance in the past few games, he almost forgot about this one.
This **** is just a bunch of rookies.
boom!
Nate McMillan pushed open the locker room door and saw the scene in front of him.
Francis raised his fists and stood in the center, surrounded by all the Trail Blazers players.
Zhang Jun shouted: "Brothers, this is the last time!"
"This is the last time we lose to the Rockets, absolutely!"
"We want them to swallow the consequences of angering us in the next game, let them know the power of the Trail Blazers youth army."
Luo Yin shouted: "Tear them apart!"
Everyone: "Tear!
! "
