D'Antoni on the sidelines felt like his mustache was going crazy. These Lakers players on the court were really unteachable cowards!

He didn't know how to adapt his defense or reduce the burden on the head coach. Meeks just moved two more steps laterally to help defend. Lillard even passed the ball and he was still in his original position as a "war reporter". Look closer.

If they are playing, they don’t know how to move two steps to defend. The same goes for other people. If they just let a rookie shoot, if these people just go to defend and interfere, the rookie may be exposed and dare not shoot...

Anyway, D'Antoni was reluctant to immediately call a timeout to adjust. He just shouted to Meeks when the Lakers dribbled the ball past half-court, asking him to pay attention to help defend Zhang Feng in the future.

However, Zhang Feng's weakness on the defensive end was still exposed. While mainly defending a group of Lakers outside players, Black suddenly threw the ball to Thackeray inside. This time, other Trail Blazers players failed to help defend in time.

Next, Thackeray relied on his weight advantage to take a step directly into the three-second zone. Using the huge kinetic energy generated by his turn, he directly knocked away Zhang Feng's defense and barely gained space to take action.

Zhang Feng, who lost his position, reacted quickly at the basket and immediately paid for the foul. He would rather send Thackeray to the free throw line than let him score the goal easily.

However, Thackeray made two free throws, and this time Zhang Feng got a foul in vain.

Pick-and-roll is always fun, pick-and-roll is always fun.

With the Lakers' overall defense still unchanged, the Trail Blazers naturally continued to use the pick-and-roll tactic of four consecutive plays.

The prelude of everything is exactly the same as before. The four offensive and defensive players of the two teams are just like going through the game saves. Except for slight differences, there are not many changes.

However, when the ball was passed to Zhang Feng's hands again, Meeks did not pause this time, but turned directly and flew towards Zhang Feng's side.

Zhang Feng was halfway through his shooting motion when he saw Meeks, who had already taken a big lunge, completed his jump, and jumped over to seal his shot.

"It's coming at me! Let's make a birdie basket!"

The big man's shooting speed is slow. When shooting, he just relies on his high shooting point to avoid being blocked.

This time, under D'Antoni's call from the sidelines, Meeks actively returned to guard Zhang Feng, using his jumping talent in the hope of blocking this shot.

But Zhang Feng didn't want to be blocked by a "little man"!

Zhang Feng's movement speed is indeed slow, but Zhang Feng's own reaction ability is not slow. Anyway, he hasn't really jumped yet. When Zhang Feng's legs are bending and rising, he suddenly chooses to exert force on his knees and legs at the same time, leaning forward, and the ball in his hand is

He avoided walking and had already shot forward.

Zhang Feng changed his shot into a breakthrough, avoided the jumping Meeks, and penetrated the Lakers' inside line from the other side.

Sacre moved slower than Zhang Feng. The other three Lakers defensive players were still "devoting themselves" to defending their corresponding players. Suddenly Zhang Feng took three slow steps to reach the basket.

No Lakers player came to defend.

With a small bounce, Zhang Feng directly completed a two-handed dunk, then turned around to celebrate with Lillard, and ran towards the half court talking and laughing.

After three offensive rounds, he scored 6 points in a row. Zhang Feng made his first appearance in non-garbage time. In just 3 minutes, he performed very well. The Blazers had a 100% success rate on the offensive end.

D'Antoni finally couldn't sit still. Lillard opened up from the outside and just lost the game. 82 regular season games were nothing, but he allowed a rookie to score 6 points in a row and let the rookie cooperate with Lillard and make 5 shots in a row.

10 points, what the hell is this!

After a long timeout, D'Antoni needs to take the Trail Blazers' pick-and-roll tactics seriously.

Previously, he just underestimated Zhang Feng, a rookie, so D'Antoni did not make detailed arrangements for the Lakers' overall defense. This time, D'Antoni was prepared to break the Trail Blazers' pick-and-roll from the beginning.

To put it bluntly, the pick-and-roll is a 2v2 game. As long as the other three people do not interfere, D'Antoni will be ready to double-team Lillard directly in the half court.

Zhang Feng's body shape is obviously much thinner than Thackeray's, and he has been floating outside before. He has not had much direct physical confrontation with Thackeray on the offensive end. On the contrary, Thackeray can use his body to succeed in singles, so

On the defensive end, Thackeray can easily guard the inside. While guarding Zhang Feng, he should still have enough energy to better protect the basket.

So just use Meeks and forward players to double-team Lillard, let Lillard pass the ball, and the remaining players will help defend on the outside. If the rest of the Blazers choose to get to the basket, there will also be Sacre

Can complete the defense.

The Blazers are not afraid of attacking. The key is to break this infinitely successful pick-and-roll tactic first.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Stotts actually wanted to send in the main players directly and make D'Antoni's timeout call in vain.

But this is the regular season after all, not the intense playoffs, so there is no need for such tactical targeting.

In fact, Stotts also has some expectations for Zhang Feng's performance. So, let Zhang Feng continue to stay on the court for a while and play for a while. If he can perform, then the Blazers can have one more offensive tactical choice in the future.

item.

When the Trail Blazers took control of the ball again and Lillard was dribbling across half court to prepare for the attack, the Lakers suddenly double-teamed him. Under the attack of the Lakers, the pick-and-roll tactic was impossible this time. Lillard

Pass the ball directly to Batum on the other side.

After some movement of the ball, the ball was still in Xiao Mo's hands, and he hit a three-pointer, but unfortunately it bounced out of the frame.

Thackeray used his body strength to push Zhang Feng to the edge of the three-second zone, and then directly grabbed the rebound.

Zhang Feng actually wanted to get around Thackeray by getting rid of him, but Thackeray looked at the person rather than the position. This time, he kept actively seeking physical confrontation, looking for Zhang Feng, so that Zhang Feng had no chance to go anywhere else.

Position to try to grab the rebound.

Although the pick-and-roll tactic can no longer be implemented, the Lakers' flanking tactic is destined to accomplish less defense and more defense. The Blazers' offense actually still has a spatial advantage.

In the subsequent offense, Batum broke through and hit the basket. Although Sacre was in place to defend, the Lakers' players who rotated from the outside were still a step slower. Batum passed the ball to the ground with a hit.

Zhang Feng on the other side of the basket.

Even though Meeks rushed back from the outside and committed a foul, Zhang Feng's start was not completely blocked.

When Meeks fouled him, Zhang Feng changed his dunk into an off-balance shot. He used the power of his wrist to spin the ball directly toward the backboard and into the frame, a 2+1. With the free throw, Zhang Feng actually made a free throw in the second.

He scored 9 points efficiently in the second quarter and exceeded his task of coming off the bench.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Stotts replaced Zhang Feng and returned to the main players. Zhang Feng, with his outstanding performance in this half of the game, not only won unanimous praise from the Blazers coach and teammates,
Chapter completed!
