nba: About me being reincarnated as Hayate Yasuo Chapter 166 Victory belongs to Portland
Trail Blazers bench.
The emotion on Nate McMillan's face was full of tension, he pulled all the players and stared at them and said.
"Hey guys watch me."
"We're leading by two points now, with 22 seconds left in the game, you know, we can win this game if we hold the advantage."
"Our strategy at this time is to defend the Lakers' outside three-pointers. I know they have a great inside advantage. Pau Gasol and Bynum put great pressure on our inside, but we have no choice. The three-point defense, and then the inside coverage of Pau Gasol and Bynum."
"First make sure not to lose this game. If we really score overtime, we will not be afraid of them. We can be young and we will have more rest time."
"Kobe has played more than 38 minutes in this game, Pau Gasol and Bynum have also played more than 36 minutes."
"We had more chances to win in overtime."
Nate McMillan's tactical arrangement has been recognized by all players. For the Trail Blazers, they can't afford to lose this game tonight, so they must first ensure that they don't lose before thinking about other things.
Zhang Jun said suddenly: "Kobe can hit this ball."
All the players looked at him in shock. Kobe is the top card of the Lakers. Of course, he is even the top superstar in the league, at least the top three. He is also a well-known singles player in the league.
But against the Trail Blazers, Pau Gasol and Bynum have a greater advantage, so they were surprised that Zhang Jun would say this.
"I swear it was Kobe's last shot."
Zhang Jun emphasized again.
Nate McMillan was a little hesitant. He knew what Zhang Jun meant and double-teamed Kobe at the last moment, but the price was that there would be missed players on the court, and the Lakers would have open scoring opportunities.
Regardless of whether this opportunity appears on the outside or inside, for the Trail Blazers, they cannot afford to lose.
The rest of the players remained silent, but Luo Yin stepped forward in due course and said, "I believe Zhang Jun, his judgment must be right."
Aldridge also stood up and said: "Kobe is a paranoid, and I also believe that he will hit the last ball."
Monty Williams shook his head again and again and said: "This is the playoffs, not the regular season. You can't use the personality of your teammates to guess the opponent's style of play. It's too risky to do so."
"If it weren't for Kobe to execute the last attack, the result for us would be unimaginable and irreparable. I won't allow you so much."
Nate McMillan also nodded at this time and said: "Zhang Jun, if you can't give me a perfect reason, we can't double-team Kobe at this time."
Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted to say that he has no perfect reason, but Kobe in this life has not won two consecutive championships, and people have not seen the miraculous performance of Kobe contributing three consecutive lore in a month.
But Zhang Jun is very sure that Kobe will play the last goal. He will not let go of this opportunity to be recorded in history, nor will he give up any goal that can be remembered in history, even if the team loses because of it. Game, because he is Kobe.
"I have no reason."
Nate McMillan shook his head feebly.
Zhang Jun said again: "Even if I can't double-team Kobe, let me defend him for the last round, coach."
Looking at Zhang Jun's sincere eyes, Nate McMillan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you defend Kobe alone."
The referee blows the whistle, the timeout ends and the game continues.
Odom of the Lakers sent the ball from the sideline, Kobe stood at the free throw line, Bynum and Gasol stood behind Kobe, and the old fish Fisher stood on Kobe's right.
On-site commentary desk.
Kenny Smith frowned and said, "What kind of position is this? This position is too funny. What sideline tactics are the Lakers going to play?"
"Based on the ability of Zen master Phil Jackson, he shouldn't have arranged such a weird position."
Barkley also saw that he was at a loss. The tactic of serving the sideline ball at the critical moment should be that the big man is ready to attack the frame at any time, and the outside players go around the screen to receive the ball. In this way, the two offensive points and opportunities, one inside and one outside, make it easier for the defense to pass the ball. The team couldn't figure it out, and there were loopholes in the defense, giving the opponent a chance to attack.
But the position the Lakers are using now is unheard of, and it doesn't even look like a tactic at all.
The Trail Blazers players were also stunned. They had never defended this tactic before, and the defensive strategy they wanted in their brains at the beginning was completely useless. Even the defensive position that Nate McMillan had just arranged was completely correct. not on.
Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows, and was also surprised by this position. No matter in the NBA, he had never seen this kind of sideline ball tactic, even in his previous life...
"etc!"
"I remembered!"
"This is a starburst tactic!"
Recalling Zhang Jun, he quickly shouted at his teammates, "This is a starburst tactic, Brandon! Ad! This is a starburst tactic!"
As soon as Zhang Jun's voice fell, the referee had already blown his whistle, and Odom was holding the ball high and preparing to pass.
Kobe suddenly ran towards the basket among his teammates, Gasol and Bynum suddenly opened up the middle position, and at the same time blocked and separated the Blazers' defense, Kobe was completely unguarded.
"This tactic is done!"
Phil Jackson, the Zen master off the field, was chewing gum calmly, with both hands on his chin. The alliance's tactics were invincible, except for the weirdness.
The more novel the tactic, the more critical it is, it can often make the opponent panic and helpless.
"What!"
What happened on the field made the Zen master, who has always been elegant, couldn't sit still, and stood up directly from his seat.
on the pitch.
Zhang Jun actually went around the back to defend and completely lost his position, as if he had already predicted it, he rushed directly to Kobe behind him.
Stop it!
"This kid!"
Odom was already ready to pass the ball, and this was still a tactic of scoring two points with an alley-oop dunk, but Zhang Jun suddenly appeared in front of Kobe, which made him dare not pass the ball at all.
Zhang Jun is tall and has wingspan, so there is a high probability that Kobe will be destroyed if he passes the alley-oop.
He could only hold the ball and shout to signal his teammates.
"Come out and catch the ball!"
One side is the referee's countdown, and the other is the tactical force. Odom's anxious mood can be imagined at the moment. Fortunately, his passing ability and awareness are not bad, otherwise he would not be dubbed a left-handed magician by the fans title.
If he really passed the ball just now, the Lakers would be completely cold.
Kobe gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Jun in front of him. The other party was exhaling heavily. It could be seen that Zhang Jun rushed to him so quickly, and Zhang Jun also broke out his last physical strength.
Kobe gave Zhang Jun a hard push, and then quickly walked around the wall set up by his teammates to go up the line.
Even if this tactic fails, Kobe has an absolute reason to shoot the last ball.
Even though he was pushed by Kobe, Zhang Jun still accelerated to lift up. During the period, Gasol bumped into him, and Bynum bumped into him, just to slow down his speed of defending against Kobe.
At this time, the referee would not call this kind of foul anyway.
The NBA has always had an unwritten rule that the end of the game is handed over to the players.
Kobe Bryant mentioned outside the three-point line, and Odom can finally send the ball out.
Kobe glanced at Zhang Jun's distance from him.
This kid! After being pushed once and bumped twice, he managed to catch up, only one meter away from him.
"Time is running out, Kobe has to vote quickly!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith at the commentary stand were already pulling their hearts out.
At this moment, Kobe drifted to the left to take off from the top of the arc, and Zhang Jun also took off at the same time.
"Kobe made a move!"
"Lean back and drift for three points!"
"This ball is really difficult!"
"Zhang Jun rushed over. His hand was on Kobe's wrist. Although he definitely couldn't cover the ball, his big hand almost completely blocked Kobe's shooting vision."
"That's a good defense!"
Swish!
The game whistle sounded at the same time.
Zhang Jun turned around in disbelief.
Watching the ball hit the net, the tense Los Angeles fans immediately gave an extremely warm applause, causing an uproar.
The Lakers players on the field rushed towards Kobe frantically, and the players on the bench were no exception.
Kobe raised his right fist and rushed towards the technical stage, gritting his teeth and showing his fangs.
"This is my territory!"
Standing where he was, Zhang Jun finally regained his composure.
My territory.
This is not only a declaration of victory for winning the game, but also telling Zhang Jun that Los Angeles will always belong to Kobe Bryant, not Zhang Jun. The son of Los Angeles, he is the loneliest king of Los Angeles.
Luo Yin came over and patted Zhang Jun on the head.
"Brother, you have defended well."
Aldridge hugged Zhang Jun and Luo Yin, did not speak, he used his usual defense to encourage the two friends.
But in fact, he felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment.
Nate McMillan sat down on the bench and said regretfully, "We should have double-teamed Kobe, Monty, we should have double-teamed Kobe."
Monty Williams also couldn't believe that Kobe could make such an exaggerated shot, but agreed.
"Zhang Jun is right, we should double-team Kobe."
Post-match interview.
All the reporters asked about the lore, and Zhang Jun had already acted as the background board.
"That's going to be one of the greatest shots of the playoffs. Kobe made an incredible shot. He saved the Lakers and pushed the Trail Blazers into the abyss."
"Zhang Jun, you are a participant here."
Zhang Jun said in a bad mood: "Compared to serving as the background board for Kobe's lore, what makes me more frustrated is that the team is behind 0:2."
"We're on the brink of the playoffs right now, but that doesn't mean the Blazers' playoffs are over."
"I know all of you are optimistic about the Lakers, and everyone thinks they should reach the finals, or even win the championship."
"But the Trail Blazers have never conceded defeat, never resigned to fate."
"Dare to shine the sword in the face of the strong, this is our style and the **** spirit engraved in our bones."
"See you in Portland!"
This is what Zhang Jun said the most in post-match interviews in the playoffs this season, and then he walked to the locker room.
The referees at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay. From their point of view, Zhang Jun naturally had the strength to say this.
Tonight, Zhang Jun made 14 of 24 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. He once again proved his strength as the league's leading scorer. Now no one will question Zhang Jun's scoring ability. Because he has proven himself in the playoffs.
And once again had the upper hand against Kobe in terms of statistics.
Kobe, who made the lore, scored 11 of 25 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
The data gap between the two is not very big, but what really helped the Lakers win the game was Gasol's 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Bynum's 16 points and 14 rebounds.
The Trail Blazers lost 8 rebounds tonight, 2 of which were offensive rebounds.
Fortunately, outside pitchers played well, otherwise tonight will be another massacre.
After the game, Barkley analyzed it in front of fans all over the world.
"The Trail Blazers played very well tonight, and they pushed the stronger Lakers into a corner."
"But this is not enough. If the Trail Blazers want to win, they must play more fully and perform far beyond their own strength."
"That's the only way they can beat the Lakers."
"The next game will be moved to the home of the Portland Trail Blazers~www.mtlnovel.com~I can foresee that it will be a more intense battle, and the Trail Blazers will continue to bounce back."
"The Lakers need to be careful."
The game has been played so far, although the Lakers still lead 2:0 without any surprise, but the intensity of the game has far exceeded Kenny Smith's imagination.
He couldn't even believe that the Trail Blazers could play so closely with the Lakers that they were two different teams from Game 1 of the series.
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. 】
He even doubted whether the Trail Blazers could win the game at home.
"While I still think the Blazers have zero chance of beating the Lakers in a series, they really showed a lot of tenacity."
"I'm starting to look forward to the Portland game."
.........
portland.
The Trail Blazers who just got off the plane were greeted with cheers from local fans.
This is probably the first team since the nba playoffs to be greeted and welcomed by the fans when it fell behind 0:2.
"We'll let the Lakers know how good we are!"
"Let him see the terrifying city of tearing."
"This will be the most memorable away game of the Lakers' life."
"This will be their devil's away game!"
The fans' support for the home team was more direct, although the effect was not obvious, but it was inspiring.
Looking at the hands stretched out by the fans on both sides of the aisle, Zhang Jun let out a long sigh of relief, completely forgetting the loss of the game, and hit the hands of these fans with open arms, shouting.
"Let's beat this Los Angeles Lakers team at home!"
"Victory belongs to Portland!"
