Trail Blazers coaching bench.
Nate McMillan isn't as worried and confused by Joel Przybilla's ejection as Barkley said, because the Blazers have never been a team that relies on big players to win.
This is not because of Zach Randolph in the regular season, which caused the team to be tight inside. After all, this is just a game that Joel Pulzbila can't play, and he can continue to play later.
Moreover, Joel Pulzbilla can't play, and Nate McMillan can also send Channing Fry or Travis Outlaw to the game.
Monty Williams also had no concerns about Joel Przybilla's ejection, he just cautioned.
"If we get Travis Outlaw, it's almost the same as having Joel Przybilla on the floor, except that we might want to consider moving Aldridge to center."
"If it's Channing Fry, then Aldridge will definitely go to the center position."
"Coach, this is a multiple-choice question."
Nate McMillan buried his head in thought.
Travis Outlaw is shorter than Joel Pulzbilla. Although he used to play power forward, this season he is basically a backup center for the Trail Blazers.
This is also to allow Zhang Jun to better break through on the court and successfully play a one-star four-shot tactic. Travis Outlaw has a decent mid-range skill, and he is very good on the court. Flexible, this is his advantage over Joel Przybilla.
And Channing Fry's moving speed on the court is not much different from that of Travis Outlaw, but his range is longer, reaching beyond the three-point line, and he is still an accurate player. Scary anti-aircraft turrets.
He and James Jones are also the most fearsome shooter duo on the Trail Blazers.
Nate McMillan had a hard time at this moment, should he take Channing Frye or Travis Outlaw.
"Hey, Zhang Jun, as long as there is an accurate shooter by his side, he will have no solution on the court."
Monty Williams couldn't help but sigh Zhang Jun's performance in this game and said.
Look at the Hornets double-teaming Zhang Jun to the extreme. If the Blazers' outside shooters hadn't become tougher, they might have been held down by the Hornets.
Nate McMillan on the side suddenly became energetic when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he inexplicably recalled some words Zhang Jun said before.
Most teams in the league are speeding up their offense. The Celtics pushed Kevin Garnett from power forward to center at critical moments, and the Spurs let Duncan play center almost half of the time.
Thinking of this, Nate McMillan suddenly had a bold idea.
"I want Channing Fry to try it with Aldridge and put Aldridge at center."
Monty Williams was startled, then thought carefully and said: "This can greatly expand the space on the field, but Channing Fry's defense is not as good as Travis Outlaw's." .”
"So after our substitutions, I am afraid that the Hornets will get more points."

After all, Channing Fleur was going to face off against David West at this time. With his small stature, could he beat him?
Nate McMillan quickly understood what Monty Williams wanted to say, and he remembered a previous round on the court where Zhang Jun defended the inside big cap David West and said.
"David West's passing ability is not very strong. As long as the Hornets dare to let him attack with the ball, Zhang Jun can help defend at least half of the rounds, and he will be in place."
"So this is a lineup and tactical play that can be tried."
"You have to know how terrible Zhang Jun's offense is when Channing Fry is on the court. Since the Hornets dare to double-team Zhang Jun until now, let them gamble for themselves. Defense pays the price."
The game restarts.
Kenny Smith and Barkley on the commentary stand were very surprised by the Trail Blazers' move to take Channing Frye at this time. After all, Channing Frye's defense is really not good, otherwise with his excellent The three-point shooting ability is not enough to only play as a substitute.
In fact, not only Barkley and Kenny Smith, but even the Trail Blazers players on the court were stunned. A lineup that has not been taken in the training match.
Only Zhang Jun stood aside with his hands on his hips and the corners of his mouth raised. He knew that the Hornets were about to pay a huge price for double-teaming him, so he applauded and signaled to his teammates.
"Concentrate on the game and pay attention to my passing."
Hornets attack.
Chris Paul was very keen to notice the natural advantages of David West and Channing Fleur, so he raised his hand without thinking to signal his teammates to pull away, and then dropped the ball.
His IQ on the court is really not for nothing.
David West, who took the ball, opened the way with iron elbows and buttocks, and hit a deep position in the penalty area with a few hits. Channing Fry's defense is really not good.
But just as David West was about to force his score, he suddenly saw Zhang Jun appearing in front of him.
"Made, this brat is coming again."
This time David West learned the lesson. When he found that Zhang Jun was on the line and Qian Ningfu was on the line, and the two played very well in defense, he decisively passed the ball to find the positions of his teammates.
Zhang Jun raised his hands high to block David West's passing vision, not to mention that these long arms really made David West unable to see the positions of his teammates.
He's not the type to pass the ball well.
"David, give me the ball."
Paul's timely yelling reminded David West to finally find the opportunity to pass the ball.
call!
Paul, who received the ball, immediately looked towards Peja Stojakovic who was open, but found that Zhang Jun was already rushing there, and he was only about one meter away from Peja Stojakovic.
The ball will not be broken when passing this distance, but Zhang Jun's defense will definitely be able to catch up, which is almost no different from Peja Stojakovic's single play on Zhang Jun.
Paul doesn't think Peja Stojakovic can single Zhang Jun.

"I can only attack by myself."
A good singles matchup advantage turned into Paul's singles on the court, which annoyed him very much.
Obviously, the lineup that the Trail Blazers took is full of loopholes, but it is difficult for the Hornets to seize such opportunities. Chris Paul has always felt that in the series against the Trail Blazers, there is a person with a basketball IQ not weaker than him who is in control of the overall situation. .
Paul has seen many people who have this understanding of basketball, but almost all of them are point guards, such as Nash of the Suns and Kidd of the Mavericks. The few exceptions are his friend LeBron James.
"But this Trail Blazers team doesn't have a player who can control the entire game like this. They are really annoying."
Paul had to pick and roll from the outside, and then taught big and small like a textbook, playing with Aldridge and scoring a mid-range shot.
Although he had only received a punch on the court just now, it did not affect Paul's continued use of his showmanship to complete the offense.
The Blazers attack.
Zhang Jun once again held the ball on the outside, and the Hornets double-teamed again without any surprises. They seemed not to be affected by Channing Fry's appearance.
Zhang Jun quickly passed the ball to Luo Yin on the other side.
Because Zhang Jun attracted the defense of two players, the Hornets are at a disadvantage and missed out on the outside at this time.
It was David West who was defending Luo Yin. Luo Yin returned a small play and a big teacher, and directly killed the penalty area with sharp footsteps.
At this time, Tyson Chandler also had to go to the defense, so that Channing Fry would not be defended.
"Luo Yin!"
Zhang Jun yelled to remind, and Luo Yin did not hesitate to find Qian Ningfulai who was ambushing in the bottom corner.
One pass, one shot, this time the offensive cooperation was very smooth and natural.
The basketball flew across the sky steadily and hit the basket, making some water waves.
"Flai, the player, is really accurate!"
Barkley couldn't help but admire and said.
It's just that he hasn't realized that this is the beginning of an explosion after the Trail Blazers readjusted their lineup, followed by a series of indiscriminate bombings by this team.
"Luo Yin breaks through and then passes the ball, let's find Qian Ningfu."
"The latter made a move!"
"Hey, come in again."
"This time it was Zhang Jun who found the vacant Channing Fulai and shot again."
"besides!"
"Channing Fry hit three three-pointers in a row as soon as he came up."
The Blazers' bench has gone wild.
James Jones was excited to rush into the court, Steve Blake was yelling and waving a towel, Travis Outlaw imitated Channing Fry's shooting and then raised his head like These three three-pointers were shot by him. Francis opened his hands to stop everyone, indicating that these were small scenes, and then he was so nervous that he sat down quickly.
After all, as long as the Blazers win tonight's game, they will advance to the Western Conference Finals.
That was the Western Conference Finals, a floor that Francis had never touched in his life.
The scene of the live camera lens turned to Byron Scott on the Hornets coaching bench again. The latter put his hands around his face expressionlessly, and did not have any intention of calling a timeout or signaling the players on the field to change their style of play.

It seems that he will continue to stick to the tactics of double-teaming Zhang Jun.
In the next round, maybe Channing Fry's three-pointer was too scary. The Hornets began to have players to defend his point, but in this way, other players of the Trail Blazers would inevitably be emptied.
"What, no one is three meters in front of Luo Yin?"
"What do the Hornets think, dare to let Braden Royne go?"
Even Luo Yin himself was a little surprised that the big space was so empty. Anyway, he also made the Western Conference All-Star this year. Just this defensive treatment?
Luo Yin received Zhang Jun's pass from the outside and made a three-point shot without hesitation.
Swish!
Make another three points!
Luo Yin bent over and rubbed his hands on the floor, and then ran forward all the way. Beside him were the teammates of the Trail Blazers. They patted Luo Yin's back one by one, and their atmosphere was all mobilized. It seems that the punch that punched Chris Paul made sense.
The Trail Blazers scored 4 three-pointers in just a few minutes, directly extending the lead to 14 points.
Originally, everyone was still expecting that after the Trail Blazers lost Joel Pulzbila, whether this accident would directly lead to the loss of the game tonight, and the Hornets completely blew the horn of counterattack.
"Good guy, this Trail Blazers team is actually playing more vigorously than before."
Kenny Smith couldn't help but said.
Barkley heaved a long sigh. In his opinion, the Hornets have become the general trend. They may really lose this game, and the consequence of losing this game is that they will completely end the 2007-08 season.
Byron Scott called a timeout at this time, but instead of rearranging defensive tactics, he strengthened offensive tactics and strengthened Chris Paul's personal offense.
Paul, who had little rest in this game tonight, walked onto the court again like he was bleeding chicken blood, but before he had time to help the team score a goal, he was bombarded by the Trail Blazers again.
Zhang Jun suddenly passed the ball to Aldridge, who was open inside, and the latter dunked directly into the empty frame.
The Hornets' defense is completely messed up. In order to double-team Zhang Jun and mark Channing Fry, they can't miss Braden Royne. They don't have any extra players to defend Aldridge.
Taking advantage of this chaotic defense, Zhang Jun, who hadn't exerted much force throughout the game, suddenly broke into the basket against the defense of Julian White and Bunch Wells, and struck with a bow and a full moon. buckle.
Neither Julian White nor Bunch Wells reacted, why did it spread that Zhang Jun suddenly started attacking.
Then Zhang Jun made another showmanship of two people in a row, going straight to the basket and facing Tyson Chandler for a layup, which also caused an additional penalty.
Zhang Jun, who made an extra penalty, completely killed tonight's game, because the point difference between the two teams has been stretched to a full 20 points~www.mtlnovel.com~ The game has completely lost its suspense. "
The Hornets surrendered in the last minute, and Chris Paul, Tyson Chandler, and David West were replaced one after another.
The game is over.
The Trail Blazers won the game 121:105.
"We're in the Western Conference Finals!"
The moment the final whistle sounded, all the players of the Trail Blazers rushed onto the court. They roared wildly at the sky above the arena, and then swooped directly onto the court to glide.

The fans in New Orleans burst into tears. It was difficult for them to accept the team's loss, and it was even more difficult for them to accept that the team was defeated by the Trail Blazers, a youth team.
What is this team? It hasn't made the playoffs for so many years, and now it eliminates us as soon as it comes up?
Reporter Craig Sager found Zhang Jun who was besieged by his teammates in the celebrating crowd, and said, "Hey Zhang Jun, can you accept my interview, this is the first time I interview you."
Craig Sager is already a famous name in the NBA. Zhang Jun appeases his excited teammates, slaps the excited Aldridge on the ass, and pushes away Luo Yin who jumped over. Holding Zhang Jun in his arms, he flicked a finger on his brother.
"Of course Craig."
Craig Sager interviewed with a characteristic smile: "Congratulations to you for reaching the Western Conference finals. You are the first team to qualify in this round of the league series. Can you talk about your feelings now and how you are in this series?" Did the game beat the Hornets?"
