Since Zhang Feng entered the Blazers' rotation, he has actually had another daily training task, which is to improve his abilities on the defensive end with the help of the defensive coach.

Many NBA players are physically talented, but once they have talent, they also need to work hard to discover their talent.

In terms of seriousness in training, Zhang Feng is indeed the type of player that all coaches like.

Not only can he meticulously complete the training tasks assigned by the coach, he will even make full use of his own private time for additional training.

Although a temporary defensive training was added that had a great impact on Zhang Feng's already crowded time and physical schedule, Zhang Feng is very clear about what he should improve at this stage.

In addition to continuing to maintain shooting and strength training without any compromise, Zhang Feng devoted the rest of his time, physical fitness, and energy to defensive training, while training in other aspects was greatly reduced to a certain amount.

However, I still maintain a certain amount of practice and will not give up completely.

Basketball is actually a matter of perseverance. If you play every day, everything will develop in a good direction. After a break, you may have to find your rhythm again.

Zhang Feng has been practicing personal defense recently, and his body is getting stronger every day. Unknowingly, he has completely surpassed his former competitor, Leonard.

Although Zhang Feng is still a big defensive hole for the team in terms of one-man defense in the interior, he is still able to barely hold on to one or two, rather than just being completely destroyed by his opponents using his body like in the summer league.

Back to the game.

This time, Perkins directly used his body on the offensive end to force a way, causing Zhang Feng to foul on the defensive end.

Afterwards, Perkins made one of two free throws and scored 1 point for the Thunder.

But scoring 1 point couldn't stop the Thunder's bleeding on the defensive end.

Although, the Thunder immediately double-teamed Lillard in the middle of the half, preventing the pick-and-roll cooperation between Lillard and Zhang Feng from forming.

But Lillard successfully passed the ball to Zhang Feng, the highest point on the court.

Zhang Feng received Lillard's pass at the free throw arc.

Then Perkins remained within the three-second zone and did not step forward to defend.

Zhang Feng took the mid-range shot very decisively without any hesitation.

In the current tactics of the Trail Blazers, with Zhang Feng playing, although Zhang Feng did not explicitly become Lillard's deputy, Stotts actually hinted that after Zhang Feng received Lillard's pass, he

It also has the corresponding right to take action.

Another hollow ball!

Perkins's lack of forward defense gave Zhang Feng enough space to shoot, and Zhang Feng's shooting touch in this game was also extremely good.

Two consecutive mid-range shots told the Thunder that even though I am a rookie, I, Zhang Feng, will never be soft on the court.

As the season progresses, Zhang Feng has quickly integrated into the team. Although as a rookie this year, Zhang Feng is still everyone's little brother off the court, but on the court, apart from Lillard, Zhang Feng

When he gets the ball, he doesn't look forward and backward like other rookies, and plays by himself when he has the chance. Anyway, the coach replaces him on the field just to strengthen the team's offense.

As Reggie missed a long shot, Zhang Feng got the rebound from his teammates after blocking Perkins.

The previous lead of more than 10 points had been reduced to 6 points after the Trail Blazers replaced Zhang Feng and Lillard.

After still double-teaming Lillard, two tall players guarded the penalty area and one outside player defended Mo Williams.

Zhang Feng is still in a semi-short position.

Although Sefolosha double-teamed Lillard, he also spread his arms to interfere with his passing route.

However, in daily training, Lillard, who is familiar with Zhang Feng's receiving position, can pass the ball to Zhang Feng based on his feeling even if he does not have enough sight angle to find Zhang Feng.

In order to prevent Sefolosha from interfering with the passing route, Lillard always throws the ball high into the air, but his wrist strength is very good, which can ensure that Zhang Feng can take off from the original position and receive the pass.

Perkins' movement speed is still a bit slow. Even though Lillard's pass is suitable for defensive players to grab, Perkins still dare not act rashly.

Since Zhang Feng had already scored two consecutive mid-range shots, when Zhang Feng received the ball again, Perkins reluctantly took a step further than before, just to ensure that the defense interfered with Zhang Feng's shot.

However, Perkins is 2.08 meters and Zhang Feng is 2.16 meters. There is a gap in height and arm length between the two sides, and Perkins's heavy weight also has a great impact on his jumping.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, stood in front of Perkins, took off directly, leaned back slightly, raised his hands straight up, raised his shooting point, then exerted force on his wrists, and made another mid-range shot!

"Zhang Feng! He scored 3 consecutive mid-range shots and maintained his excellent touch. What does Director Zhang think of Zhang Feng's performance at this stage?"

"Zhang Feng hit the ball well! It's just reasonable!"

Director Zhang was analyzing it for the audience matter-of-factly.

"You see, as soon as Lillard was double-teamed, he was willing to pass the ball to find Zhang Feng. That's because Zhang Feng is taller and can catch the ball more steadily and is less likely to make mistakes. And then, although there was a defender in front of Zhang Feng, Parkin

Si's height is not high enough, Zhang Feng just voted for him!"

"It's reasonable to vote for him if he can score! Zhang Feng doesn't have to worry about other people. If he has a chance to score, it will help the team!"

"If our players want to make a name for themselves in the United States, they must dare to take action sometimes and be more 'independent' and selfish!"

CCTV's host and guests who were responsible for commentating the game were delighted and encouraged by Zhang Feng's outstanding performance!

The audience watching this focus battle was extremely excited because of Zhang Feng's outstanding performance!

On the court, as the Trail Blazers reduced the score gap to 4 points, the Thunder coach immediately called a timeout.

Arranging defensive tactics is on the one hand, and it is also to replace Durant on the court to stabilize the situation!

At the same time, in view of Perkins' slow movement, the Thunder replaced Adams with more vitality. After all, Durant is on the court. The Thunder's main attack point must be Durant's side, and the offensive ability of the center is not so important.

.

In the Thunder's offense, Durant didn't even use pick-and-rolls. Once he came on the court, he used his personal ability to hit hard.

One step after dribbling the ball, Durant made a pull-up jumper and scored as soon as he came on the court, stopping the Thunder's decline.

Turning around, Lillard wanted to find Zhang Feng's pick-and-roll on the offensive end this time, but Adams attacked very fiercely this time. When Zhang Feng proposed it, he deliberately looked for physical confrontation to interfere with Zhang Feng's attack.

Pick and roll.

This time the anti-dismantling was not successful due to Adams' interference.

Lillard, who did not form a pick-and-roll, originally planned to force a single on his own, but during the breakthrough, Durant on the other side suddenly came to help defend.

When there was not much room to take action, Lillard chose to pass the ball back to Zhang Feng.

Adams, who was already preparing to retreat to the inside to defend and grab the board, saw Zhang Feng receiving the ball. Although he tried his best to defend, it was already too late!

"Zhang Feng! Scored 4 mid-range shots in a row! No matter who the opposing center is in front of him, Zhang Feng will just shoot you and kill you unreasonably!"
Chapter completed!
