NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker

Ben Gordon's first step breakthrough speed is pretty good, but it's a bit unrealistic to pass Luo Yin at such a speed.

Near the free throw line, the two had a strong physical confrontation, and Ben Gordon was completely at a disadvantage.

This directly exposed his problem. When facing a shooting guard who is fast enough and stronger than himself, Ben Gordon's scoring ability will suffer a significant drop visible to the naked eye.

In fact, Luo Yin's physical strength is famous among shooting guards in the entire league, and the name Yellow Mamba is not groundless.

So it is obvious that Ben Gordon will not only be hindered in the first round of offense, but there will be no surprises in all subsequent rounds.

Duang!

Ben Gordon, who chose a strong mid-range shot, heard the sound of iron without any surprise.

The Trail Blazers held down the defensive rebounds and started pushing back.

Zhang Jun's speed is very fast. Without Luol Deng, the Bulls have no player who has the awareness to defend Zhang Jun's counterattack, and no player can keep up with his speed.

call!

Luo Yin made a long pass at halftime, and Zhang Jun took over the ball.

boom!

Tomahawk snap!

"Zhang Luo connected in the first quarter."

"The Bulls really have a lot of problems with their perimeter defense."

Rose, who watched the Bulls being brutally beaten by the Trail Blazers in the first round, felt very uncomfortable.

He cherished this opportunity to play against Zhang Jun. After all, the opponent was already famous in the NCAA. Rose, who was still playing in the college league, had heard stories and rumors about Zhang Jun more than once, and the two were equally good at breakthroughs. , Rose naturally wanted to show off in front of Zhang Jun.

However, as a rookie, Rose knows very well that the team does not belong to him yet. Unless Ben Gordon takes the initiative to hand over the ball to him, or he plays the tactics personally arranged by head coach Vinny DeNagro, otherwise It's difficult for Rose to take control of the offensive end.

Next round.

Somewhat unconvinced, Ben Gordon prepared to attack again. This time he learned to be smart and called Rose in advance to execute a pick-and-roll with him, so that Ben Gordon could attack Steve Blake.

The latter is famous for being strong in offense and weak in defense, and is even worse in terms of individual defensive capabilities.

The first step after the pick-and-roll suddenly accelerated, and Ben Gordon easily passed Steve Blake.

"Humph, is this just a little bit of defense?"

"The Trail Blazers' defense is too bad. If the defense is like this for the whole game, then I will have a big explosion on the offensive end tonight."

Ben Gordon clearly knows the trading idea that the Bulls management gave him in advance. He is not in the Bulls' future team building plan, so he will inevitably be traded during this season or the off-season. Only then will he be given nearly unlimited power to fire.

For Ben Gordon, whose contract expires next season and may even be able to jump out of the contract and renew early, excellent data and performance are very important to both him and the Bulls.

This is also a tacit understanding between Ben Gordon and the Bulls management.

He wants a big contract, and the Bulls need him to perform well to gain greater trade value.

The Trail Blazers' interior defense was not very good, so Ben Gordon reached the basket very easily, and he chose an underhand layup to complete the offense.

boom!

A deafening sound sounded on the court, and Zhang Jun, who came to defend, slapped the basketball out of the court.

Ben Gordon turned around in disbelief and looked at Zhang Jun, whose magic weapon descended from the sky behind him, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"The overall defense of the Trail Blazers is indeed not very good, but don't forget that they also have Zhang Jun who has a very good sense of assisting defense."

"He's probably the best perimeter defender on the Trail Blazers."

Kenny Smith said excitedly.

It is true that the Trail Blazers are not a team built on defense, but it would be wrong to think that they have no defense.

At critical moments, especially Zhang Jun's personal defense and one-on-one defense are very good.

Although Zhang Jun's defensive skills are only average in the league at best, this guy has a high basketball IQ and is very good at defensive tactics and some details.

Buckley nodded slightly.

As early as the beginning of the season, he had already said that Zhang Jun has improved significantly on the defensive end this season. It would be a big mistake to still regard him as the stupid young man he was last season.

In fact, Zhang Jun's defense was already remarkable during the playoffs last season.

"If the Trail Blazers' overall defense can be improved a little more, they may really have the ability to compete with the Lakers in the Western Conference."

On the court.

The Bulls, who attacked again, chose to lob the ball to Noah inside, who chose a small hook under the basket, but the basketball did not hit the basket.

It's okay to ask Noah to grab rebounds and defend, but to ask him to complete the offense is really harder than reaching the sky.

The Trail Blazers pushed back again.

This time it became Zhang Jun advancing with the ball, and Luo Yin went to the side for a fast break.

Zhang Jun smashed the basketball to the ground, and Luo Yin caught the ball and launched into the air for an easy layup.

The defensive counterattack was successful again!

"The Trail Blazers are one of the best teams in the league at defensive counterattacks. If the Bulls can't guarantee their shooting percentage, they may be beaten by the Trail Blazers in the first quarter."

Seeing the team's score getting wider and wider, Rose finally couldn't sit still. He mustered up the courage to look at the team's eldest brother, Ben Gordon, and said.

"Ben, can you let me hit one or two?"

Ben Gordon was a little angry when he heard this, because a rookie of the team dared to ask him for the ball. It would be okay if he couldn't score, but if he did, he would be a little embarrassed.

However, Ben Gordon did not get angry at the young Rose, because he knew that the other party was now a favorite in the eyes of the Bulls management. If he had not made a good deal, the latter would probably decide to trade him immediately without hesitation, even for this reason. It will not hesitate to sacrifice some transaction value.

This is not a good deal for Ben Gordon. He must get a big contract next season. After all, he is already 26 years old.

For most players, this contract may be the last big contract of their careers. Ben Gordon doesn't think there will be any surprises to him. After all, he is not an All-Star player.

"If you can't score, don't ask me for the ball again."

Ben Gordon issued such a warning and then passed the ball over. Instead of running to open up space, Gordon deliberately walked to Rose's side so that Luo Yin could be very close to Rose.

In this way, even if Rose can break through Steve Blake, who is weak in defense, he will still easily be double-teamed.

At the same time, in order to prevent Rose from using tactics and pick-and-rolls, Ben Gordon also said on the side: "Don't wait around, hit it right away."

Rose took a deep breath and ignored Ben Gordon's assist. Instead, he held the ball with both hands and lowered his center of gravity and stared at Steve Blake's feet.

Unlike other breakthrough masters, Rose never looks at the defensive choices and physical condition of the defensive players when breaking through. He only needs to look at the opponent's feet. As long as there is a flaw in his feet, no one will be able to keep up with his speed. .

"Appeared!"

Steve Blake's poor defense soon caused problems for his defense. Rose broke through from the right and passed Steve Blake in one step.

"So fast!"

Luo Yin didn't even react at this speed. Even if he wanted to help defend, it was already too late.

Facing Aldridge's defense coming up inside, Rose chose to suddenly accelerate and cross to the left.

Because the speed of this step is too fast, it even looks like a reckless man walking in a straight line when breaking through, but in fact it is an arc breakthrough route, because the speed is so fast that even the defensive players cannot react.

Aldridge looked at Rose, who had inexplicably reached his left hand through a breakthrough, with shock in his eyes.

"Damn it, why is this guy's breakthrough so similar to Brother Jun's? Their breakthroughs and changes of direction don't slow down at all?"

Aldridge finally experienced how players from other teams in the league felt when they were guarding Zhang Jun. He really felt like he was beyond love.

He breaks through and changes direction without slowing down. All your defensive habits and predictions are useless against him. How can you defend against this?

Uh-huh!

Rose, who broke through to the basket, was afraid of the frame protection of Trail Blazers center Joel Przybilla, so he made a twist layup and hit the ball steadily.

After landing, Rose looked at Joel Przybilla, who was still stuck in place without such top-level rim protection, and knew that he was worrying too much. At least the Trail Blazers' inside line did not have such a good defensive understanding and strength. .

"This breakthrough is beautiful!"

"Don't tell me, there are traces of Zhang Jun."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise.

It is really rare for the league to have such amazing breakthrough players in two years before and after.

Barkley still remembers last season's breakthrough expert Allen Iverson's evaluation of Zhang Jun. Looking at Rose, who is equally amazing now, he couldn't help but sigh.

"With Rose, an equally young player, Zhang Jun's NBA journey will never be lonely."

On the court.

Although Luo Yin was also amazed by Rose's breakthrough, he did not feel nervous or scared at all, because he had seen stronger ones, and there was a guy who often dueled with him last season.

"Shh~"

Luo Yin whistled, then looked at Zhang Jun and said, "A player who is very similar to you, I think you need to show him what the league's top breakthrough is."

Zhang Jun received Luo Yin's pass. Rose's singles breakthrough just now really aroused his fighting spirit and competitive spirit. He also wanted to let Rose see what his breakthrough looked like.

"good!"

Zhang Jun holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Forced by the intimidation of the league's scoring leader, John Salmons, who was guarding him, yelled on the court as soon as he saw Zhang Jun get the ball.

"Guys, if you don't come here and help me guard against this guy, I can't handle him."

After John Salmons finished speaking, Rose took the initiative to double-team Zhang Jun. Since Steve Blake was at the three-point line in the corner at the moment, there was no very good passing opportunity.

Zhang Jun can then choose to play alone more decisively. Even if there are two people defending him, he is not afraid at all.

The change of direction in front of the body was very large. At this time, Rose had already double-teamed him. Faced with such a defense, Zhang Jun very smartly chose to pass between the two of them, and there came a very amazing man-ball pass. Waiting for Rose When John Salmons reacted, he was already heading towards the basket.

"This guy is here again!"

Noah still remembers the scene of being dominated by the opponent when he played against Zhang Jun in the regular season last season, so this time he concentrated on rushing forward to make up for the defense.

Zhang Jun put the ball together with his left hand and moved the ball to the left at the same time. Then he quickly changed direction and pulled the ball. The basketball quickly returned to the right side. Zhang Jun moved his feet with his hips and leaned forward with a European step to pass Noah in an instant.

Zhang Jun also did not slow down at all during the entire breakthrough process. On the court, he looked like he was rushing straight to the basket, like a dazed young man, but the defensive players just couldn't guard him.

boom! ! !

Zhang Jun, who reached the basket, dunked with a fully drawn tomahawk, which directly made the Chicago fans excited. If this was not a player from the opponent team, they would not even be able to help applauding and cheering.

"His breakthrough..."

Ross behind him looked shocked.

Sure enough, Zhang Jun would not slow down when breaking through and changing direction, but Rose was surprised to find that in addition to having this feature in common with him, the opponent also had a lot of breakthrough details in his hands, especially the large change of direction. Rose had only seen the moves in Iverson, and the European step was full of details.

Rose, who has always been arrogant, knows very well that he has met a player whose breakthrough is more powerful and terrifying than him, and the opponent's breakthrough achievements are far superior to his.

"It seems that I have to train harder. Since the NCAA, everyone has been talking about how similar I am to Zhang Jun, which makes me look like Zhang Jun's shadow. They all say that I will become the next Zhang Jun, but I’m not Zhang Jun.”

"I am Derrick Rose, and I will become a hero in Chicago in the future. I am not Zhang Jun. I will become a player who breaks through more powerfully than him."

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led 30:23.

In terms of pre-game predictions, no one is optimistic that the Bulls can win tonight's game, unless the Trail Blazers have a huge problem with their own touch.

After all, they are the team with the best record in the league.

And tonight is not a back-to-back game for the Trail Blazers. Their players are also in very good condition, so the chance of placing hope on the poor touch of the Trail Blazers players is almost 0.

In the second quarter of the game, Rose came off the court to rest, and he also had time to appreciate Zhang Jun's performance in the second quarter.

It wasn't until Rose came on the court, after watching Zhang Jun's performance throughout the second quarter, that he realized that Zhang Jun was far from showing 100% of his strength in the breakthrough just now. The first step to breakthrough.

"The breakthrough speed of this first step is really too fast!"

"This is probably the fastest first step in the alliance!"

Rose felt endless pressure at this moment. Zhang Jun's explosive speed in the first step was too fast. He could swear that he had never seen a player with such a fast first step in his life. It was faster than him. Not even a little bit.

Coupled with Zhang Jun's excellent passing skills and ability to change directions without slowing down, Rose finally understood why this guy was able to win the league's scoring title in his rookie season.

"This is really a player who is at his peak."
