MTL - NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker-Chapter 150 They know exactly what the Trail Blazers are going to play at this time
[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
May 3rd.
The second round of the Western Conference playoffs officially started.
The Trail Blazers visit New Orleans.
The little Chris Paul stood on the court with his hands on his hips. While he greeted the cheers of the New Orleans fans, he stared firmly at the opposite Trail Blazers players.
Although Chris Paul is very small on the court, his fighting desire and aggressiveness on the court are no worse than anyone else.
"Guys, cheer up."
"They beat the Rockets."
Paul said to his teammates very seriously.
During the regular season, the Rockets double-killed the New Orleans Hornets. The inside line of this team is a combination of offensive arrow David West and defensive gate Tyson Chandler. Insiders should be fearless.
But on the contrary, they are not afraid of the Lakers with Pau Gasol, the Spurs with Tim Duncan, and the Magic with Howard in the East, they are afraid of the Rockets with Yao Ming.
Therefore, in the final competition of the regular season, the Hornets have to rush to the second place in the Western Conference anyway, just to avoid the Rockets.
And now this Trail Blazers team is the opponent that defeated the Rockets, so Paul naturally values it very much.
David West chuckled, and then said seriously: "Then let them see how good our pick-and-roll is. In the last round of playoffs, they couldn't even guard against Yao Mai's pick-and-roll. It will be worse."
In terms of pre-match analysis, Hornets coach Byron Scott watched the last round of the Rockets-Trailers series from beginning to end. He was a little shocked by the scoring performance of Zhang Jun and McGrady, and even more shocked. What's more, the one-star four-shot team led by Zhang Jun directly shot through the Rockets.
However, after analyzing the key to the Blazers' winning and Zhang Jun's personal offensive characteristics, Byron Scott also analyzed the weaknesses of the Blazers' defense and lineup.
That is, the outside line is too dependent on Zhang Jun's defense, and the inside line does not have a qualified defensive player, so it is always inefficient when defending pick-and-rolls.
It just so happens that the Hornets, Jazz and Suns are the best pick-and-roll teams in the league, so Byron Scott conveyed a point of view to the players that the Trail Blazers will be very afraid of them.
The big screen at the scene showed the starting lineups of the two teams.
Trail Blazers: center Joel Pulzbila, power forward Aldridge, small forward Zhang Jun, shooting guard Brandon Royon, point guard Jarrett Jack.
Hornets starting lineup: center Tyson Chandler, power forward David West, small forward Peja Stojakovic, shooting guard Maurice Peterson, point guard Chris Paul.
"The Hornets are on a two-forward lineup," reminded Monty Williams.
Nate McMillan nodded.
Maurice Peterson is 201cm tall. He is an excellent defensive player familiar to all teams. He is a standard swingman with a strong body. .
Unlike other top-notch defenders, Morris-Petersen has fewer defensive tricks. His defense is completely like a gum candy, often causing the opponent's top offensive players to consume more physical energy than usual to achieve the usual offensive effect. The most important thing is that he has very few fouls.

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
It just so happens that Brandon Royin of the Trail Blazers is a player who likes to use physical confrontation to complete the offense, so Nate McMillan is very worried that Royin's offensive efficiency will be greatly affected when facing Maurice Peterson. Influence.
"But another Hornets forward, Peja Stojakovic, is the exact opposite of Morris Peterson."
"He is a three-time All-Star player and the most famous marksman in the league. This season, he has maintained a 44% three-point shooting percentage and averaged three shots per game. He is the regular season three-pointer this season. Number one!"
Nate McMillan is a headache for the Hornets. Zhang Jun is the most important defense point in the Trail Blazers. He needs to take care of both inside and outside opponents. Tojakovic, this may make Zhang Jun very painful.
All! All!
The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.
Midfield jump ball.
The 216cm Tyson Chandler made a strong point to the backcourt in the fight with Joel Przybilla.
Paul has the ball!
Compared with the well-known point guard master Nash in the league, Paul is not a player who relies on speed to sort out passes on the court. He is another type of pass, and may be a better point guard type than Nash.
Jarrett-Jack went up and down consecutively but failed.
Paul's ball control center of gravity is very low, so low that it makes people feel a little abnormal. His dribbling and slapping the basketball are so powerful that you can't judge the trajectory of the basketball at all, and the dribbling speed is still very fast.
Unlike most point guards who take one step and dribble the ball, Paul takes two steps with each dribble, and each step has many purposeful temptations.
Or pass or break or change direction.
With such a dribbling center of gravity and such a dribbling habit, the defender will be very afraid of the opponent's sudden acceleration between dribbles.
call!
Sure enough, Paul accelerated at the moment a dribble hit the ground, and Jarrett-Jack was missed by half a step.
This is not based on speed, but the rhythm of dribbling.
boom!
Jarrett-Jack, who wanted to go up to the defense again, suddenly felt a thick wall behind him, and he quickly turned his head to take a look.
It's Tyson Chandler.
The Hornets' pick-and-roll came at the same time!
The Trail Blazers decisively chose to switch defenses.
This is also the best defensive strategy, otherwise Paul will go straight to the basket with this ball.
Paul did not fully accelerate after using the pick-and-roll, but made a forward change in front of the big man in front of him, and then took a false step back.
call!
Made a mid-range shot!
Joel Pulzbila was so shaken that he didn't dare to go forward. He watched Chris Paul make a mid-range shot while retreating again and again, and hurried up to meet him.
Swish!
Go in!
"Nice mid-range."
"This is textbook-level small-scale teaching."
Kenny Smith couldn't help but admired at the commentary stand.
Barkley said: "I remember one time when I interviewed Paul and asked him who was your favorite star when you were a teenager."
"He told me without hesitation that it was Allen Iverson."
"But Paul's personal skills have nothing to do with his idol at all. He doesn't have extreme speed and great range. On the contrary, he has learned all the skills of point guards in the league and the scoring methods that guards rely on most."

"Especially his mid-range, floater and passing, and of course everything else."
"A 183ba player like Paul survived and played so well, he has a lot of different things."
Switch offense.
Brandon Luoyin held the ball at a 45° angle on the left, and Maurice Peterson of the Hornets immediately stepped forward and used a dog-skin plaster defense.
Confrontation, digging, topping, and never taking a step back.
This kind of defense put a lot of pressure on Luo Yin. He first opened up a step, and then asked for a pick-and-roll from Aldridge.
It's just that Morris Peterson squeezed fiercely during the pick-and-roll and never gave Luo Yin a chance to change positions easily.
Still facing Morris Peterson, Luo Yin chose a forced take-off jumper in the middle distance.
Duang!
The first ball hit the iron.
Luo Yin frowned, and he looked at Maurice Peterson with some trepidation.
The ball was interfered by the opponent just now.
Switch offense.
The overall speed of the Trail Blazers returning to defense was very fast. Chris Paul advanced quickly with the ball. His counterattack speed was half a beat slower than that of Zhang Jun, but his passing speed and accuracy were very high.
Slap!
Paul made a quick pass, and the basketball bounced off Zhang Jun's foot and passed through the gap between the Blazers' two defenses to find Morris Peterson.
boom!
The latter quickly held the ball and completed a dunk.
"Nice counterattack!"
"The Hornets completed a wonderful cooperation in front of the Trail Blazers, who are the most capable of counterattack and fast break in the league."
Zhang Jun stared at Paul with more serious eyes.
"How did he manage to find his teammates so keenly and pass the ball accurately while moving fast with the ball?"
Zhang Jun is a little unbelievable, Paul's passing ability is better than he imagined.
This is a completely different backcourt player from Tracy McGrady, smart, sharp, but equally offensive.
The Blazers attack.
Brandon Luoyin held the ball again at a 45° angle on the left, and without any accident, Morris Peterson stepped up again to guard against death.
This time it was Aldridge's pick-and-roll. Luo Yin knew that Morris Peterson would squeeze through early, so this time he used the pick-and-roll and relied on Aldridge's wall to make a quick shot.
"Fuck."
Maurice Peterson said in secret, he was still trying to go around and get rid of Aldridge's wall, Luo Yin had already made a shot, he jumped over to interfere, but it was still a step too late.
Swish!
In!
"Very solid mid-range."
"Brandon Luo Yin has the title of Yellow Mamba and is a first-class shooting guard in the West. His offensive methods have a lot of Kobe's shadow. Although his physical talent is not as good as Kobe's, his movements are very smooth."
On the commentary stage, Barkley and Kenny Smith were still chatting, but Luo Yin's expression was very serious at the moment.
He played Morris Peterson, not very well.
"I can't always let my brother solve the team's difficulties. He has to defend, he has to lead the rotation in the second quarter, and he has to win the game in the fourth quarter. I can't give him all the problems. "

"I'm going to score for the team at this moment."
Luo Yin pursed his lips, and the emotion on his face gradually became firm.
Zhang Jun looked over. He noticed that Luo Yin's matchup with Morris Peterson was not so easy for the two **** just now, so he asked with his eyes.
"no problem!"
Luo Yin raised his right hand high and shouted.
Zhang Jun chose to believe without reservation and smiled, and Aldridge beside him also said very firmly.
"If this guy says it's okay, it must be okay."
next round.
Luo Yin held the ball against Morris Peterson again, and Aldridge put up the pick-and-roll.
Accelerate, dribble, hit the rim, face Tyson Chandler's rim guard and Morris Peterson behind him.
Luo Yin decisively threw his body into the air, facing Tyson Chandler's defense for a layup.
Snapped!
The basketball was thrown by Tyson Chandler, and Luo Yin fell to the ground. At the same time, the referee whistled, and Tyson Chandler clenched his fist and shouted at Luo Yin.
"Don't try to layup in front of me!"
All the players of the Trail Blazers surrounded them, Aldridge pushed away Tyson Chandler, and Zhang Jun pulled Luo Yin up.
"How about it?"
Luo Yin stood up, patted his legs, turned his head naturally and said, "No problem."
Zhang Jun glanced at Tyson Chandler, who was still chattering, and walked towards the three-point line.
Made two free throws.
"Luo Yin of the Trail Blazers is playing desperately. He has to stabilize the offense for the team during this period. This foul is not easy."
Paul then moved the ball to Peja Stojakovic on the weak side after holding the ball on the outside and playing a small game to attract double-teams. Zhang Jun emptied the latter two steps away because of his defense.
But these two steps are very short for Zhang Jun to return to defense, but Peja Stojakovic immediately made a shot.
His shooting range is very high, and his shooting speed is also very fast. For other opponents, Zhang Jun can almost return to the defense, but for Peja Stojakovic, it is dangerous to let him go.
Swish!
"This ball feels stable when you see it in your hand."
"Peja Stojakovic, he is a two-time three-pointer contest champion, and he is also the number one three-pointer this season. He is the most powerful shooter in the league."
"Zhang Jun letting him go is definitely not a good choice."
Zhang Jun also blamed himself for this ball. He obviously found that Peja Stojakovic was a shooting type he had never encountered before.
This European player is a player with a soft touch and solid shooting skills~www.novelbuddy.com~ The first quarter is over.
The Trail Blazers fell behind 24:28.
The second quarter of the game.
After a three-minute break, Zhang Jun led the shooters to reappear.
The Hornets' rotation consisted of point guard Janeiro Pargo, shooting guard Bunche Wells, small forward Julian White, power forward David West and center Melvin Elay.
"Another two defensive vanguard."
Monty Williams complained.
The shooting guard Bunche Wells and small forward Julian White brought up by the Hornets at this time are both players with a salary of 3 million. Their personal abilities are not very good, but they are both very strong on the defensive end. host.

Julian Wright has excellent physical fitness and super long wingspan, which makes him look more advantageous than his actual height on the field. On the defensive end, Julian Wright's comprehensiveness allows him to defend from control Players for the 4 positions from ball guard to power forward.
His defensive footwork is very good, and his ability to stay in the air is also very strong. He is a player with a high basketball IQ and full of team spirit.
And Wells is a peculiar heavy-tonnage swingman, a master of chaos, less than two meters tall, but his statistics and low-post singles ability are like a power forward. Generally speaking, he is a good defender with extraordinary ball stealing ability and quick response. quick.
Nate McMillan said with certainty: "The Hornets are going to use these two strong players to block Zhang Jun. They know exactly what the Trail Blazers are going to play at this time."
