The second half of the game started quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Trailblazers played very steadily, under the control of Zhou Zheng, the offense was not impatient, and they executed the tactics on the tactical board with a clear eye.
Milwaukee, for their part, also gave up their previous aggressive play, with Mo Williams dominating the entire quarter. With a combination of inside and outside, their offense maintains a high level of efficiency.
Originally, the two teams were evenly matched. But with three minutes left in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers played a wave of run-guns, and the Milwaukees were instantly caught off guard, and then the margin was quickly erased, and finally fell behind by 3 points.
"We can't go on like this!" Michael Reid said back to the bench and the first thing he did was to advise the manager: "Our defensive strategy has to be revised. β
"He's no ordinary rookie at all, and the pace of the Trailblazers is all in his hands. We've got to take a bag on him and get him into a high-intensity physical confrontation. He played too comfortably throughout the first three quarters. Michael Reid hit the nail on the head: "Everyone knows what level of defense TJ and Morris is. β
Michael Reed's words reminded Stotts.
Stotts patted his head, he finally realized where his biggest mistake was tonight, he and the coaching team didn't take this kid seriously, let him do whatever he wanted, and gave him a very comfortable space for him to play.
It's time to get real.
"Charlie Bell, your next task is to look after the Portland Tiger cub '24 hours a day', whether it's with or without the ball, give him enough physical contact to make him fall in love with your muscles, don't worry about fouls, you still have six anyway. TJ, you're ready to cut off his passes, it's time to regain your lost face......"
Drip!
The fourth quarter was quickly underway.
When Zhou was receiving the serve, the Bucks' bench gangster Charlie Bell immediately rushed up.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly accelerated past him, but Charliebel chased after him like a mad dog, as long as Zhou Zheng stopped slightly, he would forcefully go over to create a physical confrontation, which made Zhou Zheng extremely uncomfortable, and even a little unable to observe the running of his teammates.
After reaching the three-point line, he pulled away from Charliebell's defense and rushed into the three-point line... Margaul quickly blocked it, and he hurried to get ready to pass... TJ Ford and Charlie Bell have already wrapped up at the same time.
The Bucks completely treated Zhou Zheng as a superstar, and they even used a three-man bag.
Zhou saw an opportunity to shove the basketball out of Margloyle's crotch, and after Darius Myers got the basketball, he rushed to the penalty area, and he used a tough attack to create Bogut's fifth personal foul.
When Miles stepped onto the free throw line, Zhou's brow furrowed into a hill. The game is not easy to play.
McMillan was also pacing back and forth, glancing at the bench and seeing zero players with consistent offensive ability with the ball.
Bang!
Swish!
One of two free throws.
In the rematch, Michael Reid ran out of space by running off the ball, received a pass from TJ Ford, and threw a three-pointer to tie the score.
As soon as they scored, Charlie Bell got entangled.
When the Michigan high school basketball man arrived in the NBA, he also did the dirty work.
Zhou Zheng was under his various interferences, holding the ball through the half. As soon as he stopped outside the three-point line, TJ Ford quickly came over. Both of them are very aggressive in their defensive movements, and they go straight to the ball when they come up.
In the end, Zhou Zheng could only jump high and throw the basketball to Dixon, who ran over to the side, and Dixon caught the ball and threw it with his open hand...... Bang!
The basket denied him this hasty shot.
The Trail Blazers couldn't shoot, but the Bucks, who were easy to play again, scored again...... Bogut singled one on the inside.
While Zhou was struggling, the Trail Blazers' offense became stagnant.
Six minutes later, Milwaukee led by seven points.
Drip!
Zhou Zheng took the initiative to request a timeout, which was already the third timeout in the fourth quarter. Rule-wise, the Trail Blazers only have one timeout left in this quarter.
They are now very passive.
"A change has to be made. β
Zhou Zheng frowned, and he proposed his idea to McMillan: "I need a player who can block for me at any time. β
βtigerγ Theoretically, we only have one chance to adjust. McMillan frowned, now he was helpless, and the bench really couldn't hold the players: "So... If you have any ideas, just say them all at once. β
"Run-gun! Crazy run-gun!" Zhou Zheng said without reservation: "Now, the only way to exchange speed for space is to buy it." Darius has to be there for me at all times, and I need his pick-and-roll. Dixon and Kayapad are spinning like crazy, and they're going to open up space for the Bucks... For Oterlo to be good at the free-throw line, he must get the second pass right......"
"Good. McMillan nodded in agreement, he didn't even think about the defense.
Drip!
The whistle blew and the game resumed.
At the beginning of the game, Zhou Zheng increased his speed and quickly rushed forward.
Charlie Bell was still in the hot pursuit, but outside the three-point line, Darius Myers made a block for Zhou Zheng.
Taking advantage of the gap that was blocked, Zhou Zheng inserted sharply into the three-point line, faced Margloyle's supplemental defense, bypassed with a jump, and then quickly handed the ball to Outlaw, who received the basketball and cut straight into the restricted area...... Bogut has now been fouled five times and he doesn't dare to make extra defensive moves.
Rumble!
Outlaw hung up the basket, and the Trail Blazers hadn't dunked in a long time.
This dunk brought the slightly dreary scene to life again, and the fans began to cheer.
Back in the half, Bogut singled Kapaja and hit a two-pointer with ease...... It's a huge dislocation.
"Bogut must be beaten. β
Zhou Zheng clenched his fists.
Receiving a serve from Kapaja, he suddenly slowed down.
This made McMillan very strange on the sidelines.
However, he chose to believe in Zhou Zheng.
When Zhou Zheng's speed slowed down, Charlie Bell hurriedly entangled again.
It's still the same defensive routine of pure hand-to-hand combat.
However, Zhou Zheng has more ways to deal with it.
He began to shake and change direction frequently, making it impossible for Charlie Bell to get close. After reaching the three-point line, he directly asked for the pick-and-roll. Using the pick-and-roll, he quickly burst into the three-point line, broke through the Bucks' yet-to-be-arrived bag with sharp speed, and rushed into the paint in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Zhou Zheng coming violently, Andre Bogut turned out to be a little shadowy, and he couldn't be sure of the options Zhou Zheng had to do next.
Just when he hesitated to protect himself and dodge a step.
Yikes!
Zhou Zheng suddenly stopped in front of his eyes.
Bogut hurriedly opened his arms, for fear that Zhou Zheng would shoot in front of him.
At this moment, Charlie Bell had already followed up from the outside.
Bogut made up his mind that he must complete a block of Zhou Zheng with Charlie Bell, and he must not let him do whatever he wants throughout the game.
At the moment when he made up his mind, Zhou Zheng suddenly threw the ball to the left with both hands, and Bogut subconsciously stretched out his hand to try to block the pass.
At the moment when he subconsciously reached out to block the action, Zhou twisted his body like a spirit snake coiling around a tree, and he burrowed his entire body under Bogut's arm, and then struck upwards with great effort...... Drip!
The referee blew the whistle, which was a typical foul build...... But it is indisputable, and any referee will blow the whistle at this time.
Bogut could only raise his hands helplessly, not even having the desire to argue, and walked down the court gloomily...... It's like an egg in the refrigerator.
At this time, the Rose Garden Arena resounded with boos, and they said goodbye to the arrogant Andre Bogut from beginning to end...... After claiming to dominate the game before the game, he now has to put on his clothes and sit on the bench.
When he was about to walk out of the three-point line, Bogut seemed to remember something, he turned around and said to Zhou Zheng: "No matter how beautiful your data is, you are destined to be a loser." β
"And I, even if I leave early, will still have the last laugh. β
Bogut's mouth was still releasing the smell of arrogant.
"You're going to laugh worse than crying. Zhou Zheng made a strong prediction.
Then walk to the free throw line.
At this time, McMillan, who was on the sidelines, finally figured out why Zhou Zheng suddenly slowed down...... He's going to destroy Milwaukee's interior offensive capabilities and drag them to the outside to fight to the death.
"Hehe, what a bad boy!"
