[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
The third quarter of the game.
The Trail Blazers took the full starting lineup again, and Zhang Jun also became the team's first offensive point at this time.
Zhang Luo's connection is staged again.
The Blazers still haven't solved Zhang Jun's destructive power on the offensive end.
Just as Nate McMillan and Monty Williams on the Blazers' dugout were preparing to celebrate their upcoming victory, Chris Paul, the Blazers' only underdog matchup on the court, exploded.
He first completed a jumper facing Aldridge in the middle distance, then hit the basket with a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, followed by another three-pointer with a step-back dribble, and then another three-pointer. A quick layup.
In just 4 minutes, Paul made 7 of 8 shots and 4 of 4 three-pointers, scoring a terrifying 18 points.
These 18 points directly wiped out the efforts of the Trail Blazers throughout the game and achieved a lead.
"My God, Chris Paul led the Hornets to a wave of 24:12 offensive high slots in less than 4 minutes."
"Chris Paul, the top point guard of the young generation, he will be a player who can peak the traditional point guard style of play."
"Passing, attacking, defending, and finishing, this will be one of the most versatile point guards ever. You can hardly find any weaknesses in him."
The explosion on Paul's side also put a lot of pressure on the Trail Blazers.
Nate McMillan dropped the board, all team play behind him, staring at the players in front of him.
"Give the ball to Zhang Jun, ok?"
Game four.
Zhang Jun blew the horn of counterattack.
The outside line easily broke through Peja Stojakovic's defense, and the inside line faced layers of help defenses. He threw his body into the air continuously, or passed the ball or hit hard, which upset the entire Hornets' inside line.
Tyson Chandler made 5 fouls, David West made 4 fouls, and Zhang Jun got to the free throw line 10 times in the final quarter.
During a round of offense, Paul switched defenses in front of Zhang Jun.
Facing Paul's defense, Zhang Jun was very smart to use his back to completely protect the ball while he was on the move. Paul also knew that it would be difficult to defend the opponent as Zhang Jun expected, so he put all his eggs in one basket and made a steal defense.
call!
Still passed!
Looking at Zhang Jun, who was about to make an empty layup, Paul had no choice but to use a small trick to hold Zhang Jun's arm in reverse and fell to the ground.
boom!
Zhang Jun fell heavily to the ground, and the referee blew his whistle at the same time.
"This foul was a bit heavy."
"Chris Paul, known as the king of small action players in the league, is why a shorter player like him can survive on the court and play so well."
"Chris Paul's nickname is Dirty Lo, and he is the dirtiest point guard in the league that even Gary Payton has publicly recognized."
On-site commentator Kenny Smith and Barkley were both complaining about Paul's intentional foul just now, and the latter also raised his hand to signal to the referee that he had indeed fouled the ball just now.
But Paul didn't mean to apologize to Zhang Jun, instead he passed directly from his knee.
This move directly angered all the players of the Trail Blazers. Luo Yin was the first to rush over unhappily and pushed Paul angrily.

"Who are you humiliating, little man?"
"Don't think that you are a veteran after entering the NBA a few years ago. You are also holding a rookie contract now."
Paul didn't resist after being pushed, and fell directly to the ground with a painful face, then clutched his back and looked at the referee, shouting.
"He fouled, look at me."
Zhang Jun, who was pulled up by his teammates, hurried to pull Luo Yin, but it was too late, and the referee whistled Luo Yin for a technical foul without hesitation.
Paul, who had succeeded in his scheme, stood up naturally, and said with a smile and clapping his hands.
"Brilliant blowing, Crawford."
Aldridge and Zhang Jun kept pulling Luo Yin, who also knew at this time that he had been tricked by Chris Paul, and was called a technical offender by the referee for no reason.
"I know I'm a little impulsive, but I just can't swallow this breath. You see, Paul is still smiling more happily than anyone else. It really is a trick."
"He's really underwhelmed."
Zhang Jun stared at Chris Paul. This guy has a lot of tricks on the court, and he especially likes to tease those grumpy players. Every time he succeeds in angering his opponent and causing him to be punished by the referee, he also has a great sense of accomplishment. .
"Kobe said this is Chris Paul's ultimate desire to win, and he also respects his opponent's desire to win."
"But instead of respecting Paul's desire to win, I destroy it!"
The fourth quarter ended quickly.
Zhang Jun missed a three-pointer in the last attack.
Chris Paul, who played well tonight, helped the Hornets win a game with difficulty.
108:105.
"Chris Paul scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists tonight. He is definitely the biggest contributor to the Hornets' victory."
"But what I want to ask is can Chris Paul make 6 three-pointers every night?"
"Can he shoot that efficiently every night?"
"I do not believe."
"The next game will be moved to the home of the Portland Trail Blazers, which will be a big challenge for the Hornets."
"Before the start of this round of the series, everyone was commenting that the Hornets are the stronger team, but judging from these two games, the Hornets, which cannot prevent Zhang Jun, have been at a disadvantage."
Both Barkley and Kenny Smith had other feelings about the series after watching both games.
They found that the strength of this Trail Blazers team is entirely tied to Zhang Jun alone. As long as Zhang Jun is invincible on the offensive end, then this Trail Blazers team is the most feared opponent of all teams.
As for the Hornets, even though they have the most solid striker reserve in the league, such a striker reserve is obviously useless when defending Zhang Jun.
Barkley said with certainty: "Defending Zhang Jun needs the top perimeter defensive player, a player who can not fall behind Zhang Jun in terms of speed, strength, and height."
"I can't count five players like that in the league."
In Kenny Smith's view, this is also a very understandable situation. After all, Zhang Jun is the league's scoring leader. If a few strikers like the Hornets can defend him, then he is still the league's scoring leader.

Kenny Smith said: "What I am most worried about now is that the Hornets and Chris Paul successfully aroused the anger of the Trail Blazers players in this game tonight."
.........
May 8.
portland.
“Dry Renovation Orleans!”
"Send dirty Rocks home!"
The anger of the fans affected everyone in Portland. Even a dog on the street would rush to curse in anger when he saw the Hornets bus coming.
Steve Patterson never imagined that the Trail Blazers would tie the Hornets and completely overwhelm each other on the court.
In the last game, if it weren't for Chris Paul's sudden outbreak, the Trail Blazers would have returned home with a 2:0 lead.
Steve Patterson couldn't imagine that the Trail Blazers, who had struggled to make it to the playoffs, now had the hope of reaching the Western Conference Finals.
"The reconstruction speed is simply too fast. It's like taking an elevator, and it goes up in a whizzing way."
"The same increase is also the attendance rate of the Trail Blazers this season, and the ticket revenue of the playoffs."
"This season, the Trail Blazers are going to make a lot of money."
Moda Center Arena.
The game started with the shouts of fans at the scene.
Luo Yin played very aggressively as soon as he came up.
He blamed himself for the team's loss in the last game. If he hadn't been made a technical foul by Paul to get the opponent to the free throw line, it is likely that the Trail Blazers would not have lost the last game.
After the game, all the media guests commented that the technical foul was the turning point of the whole game.
Luo Yin directly knocked Morris Peterson to the ground in the attack, and the latter was also whistled for a defensive foul.
Knocked over by Luo Yin again and called for a foul, Maurice Peterson almost died of anxiety. He sat on the ground for a long time and refused to stand up. His feet shook repeatedly on the ground, like a little girl acting like a spoiled child.
"Is there a mistake, I was knocked over and I was called a defensive foul?!"
The referee didn't even bother to talk to him. Who said that he couldn't call a defensive foul if he was knocked over? If you say that the defensive player falls to the ground and flops at any time, the offensive player will not be able to play.
The referee directly warned Maurice Peterson that he was suspected of obstructing the normal progress of the game, and the latter quickly got up.
Luo Yin's tough performance allowed him to score 11 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, and led the Trail Blazers and Hornets to a 26:26 tie in the first quarter.
"That's a very good thing for the Trail Blazers."
"They were not afraid of the Hornets in the second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter, they were afraid of falling behind too much in the first quarter."
"Then the Hornets are going to face a big problem, the problem they have been facing in the first two games."
"How to defend this season's league scoring leader Zhang Jun."
The second quarter begins.
The Hornets took Tyson Chandler early and wanted to limit Zhang Jun's frame-rushing efficiency.
As a result, after seeing Tyson Chandler play, Zhang Jun became more excited, and the ball went towards the basket.

His impact is greater than that of Luo Yin. Tyson Chandler has almost no better way than fouling and letting Zhang Jun score.
Barkley said: "Among all the inside players I noticed, the one with the most efficient defense against Zhang Jun is Warcraft Howard in the East."
"If you want to help defend Zhang Jun, you can't just be tall or strong. You have to be able to jump and not move too slowly. Only in this way can you defend against Zhang Jun."
"From the current point of view, Zhang Jun is Howard's inside nemesis. Besides, there is no inside player in the league who feels good when facing Zhang Jun."
The head coach of the Hornets, Byron Scott, knew that it would be difficult for them to limit Zhang Jun's offense on the offensive end, so he quickly replaced Paul and let the Hornets fight against the Trail Blazers.
In the last game, Paul successfully stole the chicken, and Zhang Jun was suffocating in his heart. Now that Paul came up, he had a wrongdoing and a debtor, and he took the initiative to pick and roll and then faced Paul.
This scene surprised Barkley at the commentary desk.
"Chris Paul is a player in the league's best defensive team. Regardless of his shortness, his personal defensive ability is not bad, and his body is still very strong."
"What does it mean for Zhang Jun to switch positions and play Paul? This is obviously not a very good matchup."
Zhang Jun lowered his center of gravity.
Although Chris Paul is small, he also took two steps back to defend. He knew that Zhang Jun seldom made long-distance shots, so he was not worried that Zhang Jun would shoot a cold arrow at this time.
call!
Zhang Jun still chose to break through. The first step was very fast. Paul still wanted to steal Zhang Jun. After all, the opponent has a tall body and a high center of gravity when dribbling. A small man like Paul can easily steal the opponent.
However, Zhang Jun is very smart, and his basketball IQ is also very high. He used the most common way of protecting the ball by big players, turned around while dribbling, and used his body to block the defender, making it difficult for the opponent to attack. Ball steals.
Paul has also seen a lot of ball protection like this. He was very clever when Zhang Jun turned around and immediately raised up to take the ball from the side, but what he never expected was that Zhang Jun would not slow down when turning back. With one click, he went directly to the basket.
boom!
It can also force the battle ax to snap!
"This physical talent really deserves to be the No. 1 pick this season."
"Zhang Jun's physical talent is even better than Kevin Durant's. He can explode in an instant. This can be seen when he can hit inside players with a tomahawk at every turn."
Barkley commented.
Being able to maintain a matchup advantage of physical talent in the NBA, the strongest basketball league in the world, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is enough to show Zhang Jun's outstanding talent. Barkley quickly remembered that when he entered the NBA, no one could With his talent, when his big **** hits down, all opponents are bounced away, so nicknamed Flying Pig in the Air, he is a very strong low-post singles master.
Paul and Tyson Chandler stood in place at the same time, a little helpless about the ball just now.
Tyson Chandler did not forget to say: "I said it in the first two games, this guy does not slow down when he breaks through and changes direction. You see, he is very abnormal."
Chris Paul quickly recovered and said: "I will never let him break through me so easily again, absolutely."

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Tyson Chandler was startled, and soon understood how Paul would defend Zhang Jun, and then heaved a long sigh.
"Dirty Luo is coming again."
next round.
Zhang Jun ordered the list to play Paul again from the outside line. He wanted to use his actions to tell the opponent that all tricks were useless in the face of absolute ability, and he wanted to destroy Zang Luo's playing style.
It was still a breakthrough, or protecting the ball during the run. When Zhang Jun was about to turn around, Paul, who knew he couldn't keep up with the opponent, put his feet directly on Zhang Jun's run this time.
"Ouch, shit!"
Both Zhang Jun and Paul fell to the ground. The referee thought that the two stumbled during the confrontation, so they did not whistle.
Zhang Jun, who fell to the ground, distributed the ball in time. When he wanted to get up to catch the ball again, Paul pressed Zhang Jun under his body firmly, unable to get up for a long time.
