When the Warriors performed quite well at the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers took advantage of the Warriors' climax and directly requested a timeout.

After all, the Warriors' pure bench lineup without core players like the "Splash" brothers performed so well, which still made Blazers coach Stotts angry.

This is just the Warriors' bench lineup! Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors' two core perimeter players, are still resting at this time.

After the timeout, there were still not many changes in the Blazers' offensive style shown on the field.

For the Trail Blazers, when the game was at such a disadvantage, they simply tore off the pretense of the team's tactics and no longer even used feints in the game. The Trail Blazers' offensive method was quite clear, which was to use it during the game.

Mainly focus on the pick-and-roll cooperation between Zhang Feng and Lillard.

As for the Mavericks' offensive tactics, when Zhang Feng and Lillard play pick-and-roll tactics in the high post, the Warriors players actually have a big problem.

On the one hand, after the pick-and-roll is completed, Speights and Livingston are still double-teamed, completely blocking Lillard's offensive space.

On the other hand, Iguodala and Dream Green, who have certain interior defensive capabilities and fairly good confrontation abilities, simultaneously retreated into the three-second zone to prevent Zhang Feng from attacking down the line after receiving the ball.

Lillard was forced to the baseline by Speights and Livingston. In fact, most of the time, the only passing target he could see was Zhang Feng, and Lillard and Zhang Feng were only familiar with each other's passes.

Ball style.

Zhang Feng also knew that after the Warriors' defense was beaten twice by him before the team timed out, there would definitely be suitable defenders to complete the defense.

Therefore, Zhang Feng also understood that he did not move too far forward at this time, just to prevent defensive players from coming up, directly approaching him, and interfering with his catching the ball.

So when Iguodala and Dream Green were covering from the left and right sides of the three-second zone to the center, Zhang Feng still received Lillard's pass near the free throw line.

Zhang Feng holds the ball and faces the two Warriors defenders in front.

You can directly complete the mid-range shot from the jump at this time.

There is no way, a center player who can hit the mid-range shot has such a bug.

First, he used his height and weight to bully you in the inside. After you asked your brother to help, he went out to shoot from the outside again.

Chasing Dream Green was unwilling to accept the changes in his team's defense. When facing Zhang Feng, it was of no use at all.

On this shot, Dream Green tried his best to block Zhang Feng's face to interfere with or even directly block Zhang Feng's shot.

but……

"Zhang Feng's beautiful fake move!"

As a result, Dream Green's very active defensive attitude during the game fulfilled Zhang Feng's own offensive thoughts when he caught the ball.

Since it is difficult to fight against the defense of two people in front of you while holding the ball, one can only choose to use various methods to break through to create a threat to the opponent.

With this ball, Zhang Feng did not directly complete the mid-range shot within his own offensive range. Instead, he made a fake shot. After successfully shaking Dream Chaser Green, he moved again.

The ball went straight to the basket quickly.

Facing Iguodala in front, Zhang Feng made another half-turn technical action while walking.

This time Iguodala, as the league's top defensive player, had defensive experience after suffering a loss in the previous game. When Zhang Feng turned around, he consciously took a step back to give himself enough to take off.

In the space, Iguodala planned to fully take off and hit Zhang Feng with a big layup in the air after turning around to complete his previous revenge.

However, Iguodala's own defensive method changed, and he began to seek revenge on Zhang Feng, and when he gave Zhang Feng a big hit, Zhang Feng had no intention of eating it all with one move.

This turn around, for Zhang Feng, was really just a half-turn, and then Zhang Feng stopped directly where he was.

Even in Zhang Feng's original plan, he needed to exert force during the half-turn to give Iguodala a strong collision, push away Iguodala's defense, and give himself a better offensive space.

As a result, the fact is that Zhang Feng did not need to get away from Iguodala. Iguodala thought too much. When he saw Zhang Feng making half of the action, he retreated to make some space. Zhang Feng directly

During the breakthrough process, he stopped suddenly and then took off, completing a half-hook from close range and successfully hitting the target.

Zhang Feng's outstanding performance scored another two points for the Trail Blazers.

"Zhang Feng, at the beginning of the second quarter, was the Blazers' highest-scoring player and had already scored 6 points in a row!"

"Zhang Feng's offensive status in the interior was very good today! He handled the ball very well in several attacks. Of course, this is also due to Stotts' arrangement of the playing time of the players on the court."

"Knowing that when Zhang Feng faced the defense of Warriors starting center Bogut, Zhang Feng was not easy to play in the paint and was not easy to attack, so he consciously staggered the playing time with Bogut when making substitutions, thus

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Feng had an offensive method that he could do whatever he wanted in the paint."

"Of course, this is also inseparable from Lillard's own super personal offensive strength. Every time the Warriors' substitute center Speights, on the defensive end, faced with pick-and-roll tactics, he had to go over and help Livingston.

Defending Lillard also forced the Warriors to use their forwards to defend Zhang Feng, and of course they were at an absolute disadvantage in the paint."

For Zhang Feng, this ball was definitely an excellent shooting opportunity from the beginning.

But shooting is only one of the offensive methods. Even if it is a shot in the free throw line area, after all, there is still defensive pressure from the opponent. Compared with the certainty of going further inside to complete the offense, the success rate of shooting from the outside is higher.

, it must be lower.

If it was Bogut who was defending inside at that time, then Zhang Feng would definitely choose to shoot.

Although Bogut was the No. 1 pick in the year and is now a blue-collar player, the height and confrontation strength of a traditional center are still there, and his defensive ability is definitely not bad. Zhang Feng will not try to attack him easily.

However, in these offensive rounds, only Iguodala and Dream Green were standing inside.

Compared with Zhang Feng, it is really about height but not height, and strength but not power. Zhang Feng only needs to pay attention to not being damaged by the two of them and destroying the ball.

With the ball in their own hands, the defense of these two people is actually not that big a threat. They only need to use some small skills. Of course, it is easier to score closer to the basket.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, it was obvious that the Trail Blazers players were more motivated to run and defend on the court.

When Stotts called a timeout just now, he didn't spend much time on the offensive layout, because the threats of Zhang Feng and Lillard are the main offensive method of this lineup today.

He believes that the main thing the Trail Blazers need to do is the team's defense. They need to let the players adopt a more active defensive attitude to achieve better defensive effects in the game and limit the Warriors' off-ball movement.

Use pass-and-cut play to force the Warriors to use their personal abilities to solve battles on the offensive end.

Personal offense, with the Warriors' current player configuration, may not be able to kill themselves, but if the Warriors continue to play pass-cut coordination, for the Warriors, they can continue to attack the Trail Blazers' overall defense, which will be of great benefit in the future.

The competition is also unfavorable.

Livingston dribbled over and passed the ball directly to Speights in the high post.

Zhang Feng's defense expanded to prevent Speights' long shot.

Speights, holding the ball, was always looking for his teammates. He suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball, finding Livingston who changed direction and crossed into the three-second zone.

Perhaps the Blazers still didn't do a good enough job in defending the pass in the first place, giving the Warriors space to pass the ball into the three-second zone.

But in terms of personnel protection, the Blazers' defense this time was quite good.

Not only did Blake keep following up, but Thomas Robinson also came up from behind to defend.

Blake lowered his center of gravity and supported Livingston to make further moves, while Thomas Robinson jumped directly into the air to cover the shooting area in the air.

Facing a double defense, Livingston could only reluctantly take a hurried shot deep inside the Blazers' basket.

Even because of Thomas Robinson's blocking shot, Livingston couldn't see the position of the basket.

In order to avoid Thomas Robinson's block in the air, Livingston consciously increased the arc of his shot, letting the ball fly to a very high position and then fall.

In the end, the Blazers' defense worked. The ball landed on the neck of the basket and was not scored.

Zhang Feng withstood the rebound position, successfully got another rebound inside, and passed the ball directly to Lillard, allowing Lillard to counterattack.

It's just that no matter what the situation is like, the Golden State Warriors retreat really quickly.

With only three players in the frontcourt of the Blazers, the Warriors' five-man team all retreated to their own three-point line area and set up a defensive formation, giving the Blazers no chance to counterattack.

Lillard was on the right side and had no chance to take a direct shot, but could only choose to wait for his teammates to come over.

As a center, Zhang Feng came over not too slowly. Instead of entering the three-point line directly, he started to start a pick-and-roll tactic toward Lillard from the outside.

One move is popular all over the world. For the Blazers, since it is difficult for you to break through this move of mine, then I will keep using it to disgust your defense.

This time, the Warriors were well prepared.

Before the pick-and-roll was formed, Speights kept track of who Zhang Feng was following, while Livingston on the outside worked with Iguodala to put pressure on Lillard.

Before the pick-and-roll was completed, the Warriors changed their tactics and directly turned into a two-man attack, using two outside players to limit Lillard's personal performance. However, for Zhang Feng, they still used Stotts to counter him.

to defend.

It's just that you change your moves very quickly, and I change my moves very quickly.

Since the Warriors had already chosen to double-team Lillard before the pick-and-roll tactics were launched.

Zhang Feng immediately chose to go directly to the basket area during the game.

Although he cannot directly receive the pass from his teammates, he can help Lillard and open up the space on the outside.

After Speights followed Zhang Feng back to the three-second zone, at least at this time, for Lillard, he only had to face the two defenders in front of him, without considering whether Speights would

Being the third man continues to put more defensive pressure on yourself.

And with the withdrawal of Zhang Feng and Speights, Lillard actually has a better view. He can see the position of Barton who is currently open after double-teaming him.

Zhang Feng provided Lillard with a vision to handle the ball, and Lillard passed the ball out as quickly as possible, directly finding Patton who was in an open position.

Patton caught the ball and did not shoot directly from the outside.

Iguodala's defensive speed was very fast. Although he did not complete the destruction of Lillard's pass in the first time, Iguodala gave full play to his explosive power and quickly returned to the original defense.

Defensive position, putting defensive pressure on Button again.

Button felt the defensive pressure from Iguodala and did not choose to shoot a three-pointer directly.
