Amid Stamps' exclamations and a small number of cheers, Zhou Zheng stepped forward to the frontcourt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This kid is so cool." McMillan clenched his fists, a pattern he'd always longed for, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

As a player, he focused more on defense, and although the rookie single-game assist record is still kept by him, he is sure that he can't control the game like Zhou Zheng back then.

Samkassel returned to half-time and was trying to play Zhou Zheng strongly. But when he saw that Corima was out of the open space, he immediately passed the basketball quickly...... The old guys are like that, they know when to calm down.

Bang!

Sadly, Cory Maggeti didn't hit that shot.

Then, Zhou Zheng launched a fast offensive. He rushed to the front court like lightning, Samkassel had been preparing to give Zhou Zheng a little color, but he couldn't catch up with Zhou Zheng's footsteps at all, he could only chase hard behind...... This has made him tired and almost lying on his stomach, where is the extra strength to make small movements?

Zhou Zheng arrived in the frontcourt, and after a lunge shattered the Clippers' defensive layout, he assisted Kapaja to hit a mid-range jumper.

Last season, the Clippers had a 0-4 record with Phoenix, and they were swept by the Suns in the regular season, but fortunately they didn't meet the Suns in the first round of the playoffs, otherwise they would have been swept away by a clean 4-0 sweep.

For this kind of high-speed and fast-paced fast attack, McDonleavy never thought of a countermeasure.

Back in the half, Samkassel set up Brand for a face-saving goal.

However, the Trail Blazers immediately used a three-pointer to announce that the score was overtaken.

33：30。

This is the first session of the answer sheet handed over by both sides.

"Run-gun should be our main tactic." Assistant coach Williams suggested to McMillan.

His suggestion immediately overshadowed the atmosphere at the bench...... There are too many offensive players here, and they even say they want to run and bomb? Isn't that tantamount to a revolution from below?

"Humph!" Zach Randolph let out an unpleasant nasal voice, knowing he wouldn't be able to run, so he thought Williams' idea was terrible.

Ruben Patterson, Telfer, Jarrick Jack, Ratliff... They all had unhappy expressions on their faces.

They've never had a run-and-shoot before, and they're a vested interest in positional offensive tactics, so they're putting pressure on McMillan with their eyes almost simultaneously.

McMillan didn't want to straighten Zhou Zheng quickly, but... The timing was too premature. And Tiger's physical condition can't support him to play the whole game, and even playing the full three quarters of the game is a little difficult, plus his shooting is not consistent enough...... Alas, we can only wait for the rapid growth of Tiger.

"Our core is Zach, and we have to focus on Zach's style of play." McMillan said.

Williams has followed McMillan for many years and knows McMillan's mind well. Suddenly he stopped making a sound, and Zach Randolph's side was also happy, he hummed a little song and stood up and took the initiative to walk over and high-five Zhou Zheng, who was off the court: "Hey, I said man, how did you snatch the alien's basketball just now, he looks like he was suddenly poked in the ass......"

Watching Zach Randolph and Zhou Zheng talk happily, McMillan breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Tiger was lucky enough, at least Zach Randolph did not target him and did not isolate him. Such a relationship can give him enough time to grow.

After the start of the second quarter, Zhou Zheng stayed on the bench, and the point guards who came out were Jarrick Jack and Stephen Blake, both of whom were very solid point guards, Zach Randolph and Ratliff occupied the inside box, and Darius Myers retreated to the small forward position.

It's a very typical half-time lineup. They played pretty well, especially when Captain Brand didn't find his touch.

Zhou Zheng was still called by McMillan to sit next to him, and he would ask Zhou Zheng from time to time for his views on the game.

Zhou Zheng always gives his answers gently and accurately.

McMillan admires it, and he thinks Zhou is the kind of point guard who reads the game. In his opinion, the talent for reading the game is much more important than the bounce height, the ability to sprint.

The two sides were in a stalemate on the pitch for about seven or eight minutes, and Mobley came on to change the situation of the game.

Mobley hit two three-pointers in a row, and then the Clippers were all activated inside and outside.

McMillan motioned for Stephen Blake to steady his pace, but... The coldness of the hand made their steadiness meaningless.

With four minutes and twenty-five seconds left before halftime, McMillan stood up and called a timeout.

"Tiger, you go up and comb the offense, Patterson, Outlaw, you replace Miles and Jack......"

McMillan was quick to make personnel changes, and he set up the No. 3 tactic.

The No. 3 tactic is based on Zach Randolph and Ruben Patterson as the supplement, the point guard does not have much dominance in it, and... It's a very slow tempo of attack.

"Come on!"

When Zhou Zheng was on the court, McMillan patted him on the shoulder.

Zhou is walking onto the court, at this time... The Trail Blazers are already trailing by five points.

You have to score one to stabilize the decline.

Zhou Zheng steadily dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and Sam Kassel immediately took the initiative to meet him, and he quickly executed close defense, trying to give Zhou Zheng some more defensive 'baptism'.

This time, however, Zhou Zheng had more experience, and McMillan taught him below that he should keep the maximum distance and let his small movements go unnoticed.

As a result, Zhou Zheng shook deftly outside the three-point line, and the aliens had no way to start.

Just when Zhou Zheng was planning to completely overtake him with a change of direction.

From the free-throw line came Ruben Patterson's angry roar: "Give me the damn ball, this isn't your street show!" ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at his position, and he was not in a good vacant position.

So, instead of passing the ball quickly, he accelerated past Samkassel's defense in a change of direction, rushed into the free throw line, and after a jump, Brand stepped up and quickly handed the ball to Zach Randolph.

Randolph tossed the basketball in with ease.

"Well done, Tiger." Randolph high-fived Zhou Zheng, and he was almost ready to fall in love with this easy way of scoring... There is no need to play with physical confrontation or tricks, just receive a soft shot from the basketball, the shooting rate is guaranteed, and the score is much higher than before...... I scored 39 points last night. Although it was overwhelmed by Kobe Bryant's 61 points and Tiger's 16 assists in public opinion, it will become the most powerful evidence when it comes time to negotiate a contract!

Randolph was pleased, but Patterson was furious. When he returned to the half, he repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Zheng: "Rookie, when I ask you for the ball, you should hand it over to me immediately." In the playbook, you don't have the right to dominate the ball. ”

"Don't upset the old bird."

Patterson's face was ugly.

Zhou Zheng was also very uncomfortable when he heard these words.

He felt that if he could make the game easier, why should he get stuck in endless singles? Is it just to prove how outstanding your personal abilities are?

Swish!

Corey Maggeti hits a jumper on Patterson's head. Although he prides himself on being a defensive expert and Kobe Bryant's finisher, but... In the past two years, with the deterioration of his body and the more active transformation to the offensive side, he has no way to limit the swingman of the NBA's first-line or even second-line guards with one-on-one defense.

"We have to find a way to get him to play good numbers." McMillan muttered silently in his heart that he didn't want to keep such a tumor in his locker room.

Just when McMillan was thinking about how to make Patterson's stats more eye-catching.

On the court, Zhou Zheng was scolded by Patterson again, because Zhou Zheng did not hand the ball to him, but hung it inside, and the old block king Ratliff put the basketball into the basket in the air relay...... That's an absolute vacancy. It's a crime for a point guard not to get the ball in the first place.

Zhou Zheng didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

However, Patterson yelled at himself in the middle of the half: "You don't think that you can do anything wrong with the favor of the head coach, even Kobe Bryant has to give me a bag when he is a rookie, and you haven't touched the basketball when he played me off the bench." ”

"I don't think as much as you." Zhou Zheng retorted vigorously: "I just want to win!" ”

The two were talking not far from the tech desk, where a camera was located and a radio was also available.
