With Zhou Zheng's three-point shot, the Trail Blazers chased the difference back to single digits, which made the game suspenseful again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at the same time, it also gave McMillan a headache.

The reason why he proposed to let Zhou Zheng play his favorite Run-Gun during the Stanford period in the last minute and a half of the first quarter was completely based on his love for Zhou Zheng. He hadn't thought about anything else, after all, it was just a pre-season game.

However, he didn't expect his favorite child to give him a huge surprise, Zhou Zheng led the team to play a momentum of fast offensive and gained the upper hand in the duel with Phoenix... Although the opponent conceded a Stoudemire, being able to play like this is enough to prove that the Trail Blazers can gain a foothold in the NBA with this set of tactics.

And, predictably, as long as the Trail Blazers play a flashy Kombat whirlwind, the previously sluggish attendance will definitely make a huge difference...... This is something that the team management has repeatedly mentioned, after all, ticket revenue is one of the few team revenues.

In addition, the attention is high. Local regional rights can also be sold for a higher price, which will definitely make the team management raise their hands to support it. (PS, NBA teams can only sell the broadcast rights in the local area on their own, and the broadcast rights of the national live broadcast are sold by the NBA official, and the money is divided according to the way of equal distribution.) ）

It's just that... If they run and run, Ratleaf and Patterson will inevitably be marginalized, and Zach Randolph may not be able to keep up with the rhythm, these three are the three biggest players on the team anyway, and they are undoubtedly the strongest.

It's a knife on their heads!

McMillan is tormented, although according to the team's rebuilding ideas, Patterson and Ratliff will definitely be purged, and Zach Randolph may also be sold if he continues to make negative news. But... At present, the team is still inseparable from them, and now it is the team that completely tears the skin and hurts the most.

"Let's play the number 5 tactic next." McMillan gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

As soon as he said this, Darius Myers immediately let out an incredible exclamation: "Huh? Tactic No. 5? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to run run-gun?" Dixon also raised his doubts.

McMillan didn't know where it was better to play run-gun in the current situation, but... Patterson was already making a fuss just now, and if Zach Randolph also came in and forced the palace, he wouldn't be able to get off the stage.

"Positional offenses are more constrained by Phoenix." McMillan said in all seriousness: "We're going to drag them into the defensive quagmire, and if they can't run, they're going to lose." ”

McMillan's explanation didn't get Miles to agree with them, but they didn't say anything more, anyway, everyone knew it.

Drip!

After the start of the second quarter, Zhou Zheng began to slowly push the offensive tempo, which was in stark contrast to the last minute or so of the first quarter. After coming to the front court, he also methodically waited for his teammates to settle down, and then launched a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Zach Randolph, who singled the new Stoudemire, and bang!

The shot deflected off the basket with interference, and the rebound was picked up by Marion.

Then, the Suns launched a quick counterattack, and while Zach Randolph ran hard, Stoudemire used his offensive trio to hit an easy jumper.

This made Zach Randolph very angry, he returned to the half court and continued to ask for the ball, and Zhou Zheng also handed the ball to him again.

His single shot was once again deflected wide of the basket, this time by Sean Marion, who had come over to make up the guard.

Back in the half, Stoudemire scored again with a pick-and-roll layup.

The score difference, which was originally in single digits, came to 13 points in an instant.

The game followed this pattern for about four minutes, and the margin widened to 16 points.

Drip!

McMillan asked for a timeout.

Zhou was walking with Zach Randolph on his way back to the bench and said, "Next... Can you reduce the number of singles you play? I can make your offense more efficient and score more points. ”

When Zach Randolph heard this, his expression suddenly became a little serious.

After making sure that Zhou Zheng was not provoking himself, he said seriously: "Only tonight is the exception, other times... I'm not going to give up my superstar privileges. ”

"If it weren't for you, any other point guard who said that to me, I would have the coach ice him off the bench."

Randolph added.

This matter is a matter of principle for him. In his mindset, superstars should be in control of the ball, and they should have unlimited power to fire.

In fact, this is also the general mode of thinking of the leading stars, in this era, the most admired is individual heroism. And in fact, it is indeed a lot of heroes.

"Thank you." Zhou Zheng expressed his gratitude very sincerely.

Zachrandolph immediately grinned again, he put his arm on Zhou Zheng's shoulder, and kindly admonished: "You should strengthen your individual attacking ability, if you want to become a superstar, it is not enough to pass the ball to others." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Zheng nodded.

"If you have the chance, you can shoot more, don't listen to the manager's arrangement." Randolph lowered his voice and instilled a trick: "In the NBA, scoring data is the most money-saving thing." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Zheng nodded again.

Randolph liked Zhou Zheng's obedient appearance, and in fact, he also regarded Zhou Zheng as his younger brother.

Seeing Randolph and Zhou Zheng come back shoulder to shoulder, McMillan wanted to tell Zhou Zheng to stay away from this drug dealer, but in the end he pressed down on this strong desire to speak.

McMillan made some adjustments, and he took Patterson off and replaced him with Outlaw. Ratliff was also replaced by him with the younger Pulzbilla. In the double point guard, Telfell also became Dixon.

Although the name of the tactic is still Tactic No. 5, it is still based on Randolph.

But these adjustments have put the initiative back in the hands of the point guard, and Zhou Zheng's passing style can become more layered.

After the game restarted, Zhou Zheng really changed the previous porter's mode and began to break inward to create a killing to attract the bag, and after the bag, the basketball was quickly passed by him to the hands of his teammates in the open position.

Swish!

Zach Randolph hit a jumper when he came up, and Stoudemire's defense was completely pinned down by Zhou Zheng.

Suddenly, after hitting this jumper, Zach Randolph was much more excited, and he planned to fight Stoudemire for 300 rounds.

However, something happened that happened.

When Stoudemire returned to half-time, he quickly completed a pick-and-roll with Stephen Nash before Zhou Zheng made a switch with Zach Randolph.

After changing defenses, Stoudemire received a pass from Nash, he held the ball and strode in front of Zhou Zheng's defense, he completely ignored Zhou Zheng's existence, he only wanted to dunk violently.

Zhou Zheng did not relax his defense because of Stoudemire's aggressiveness, he retreated from the sidelines, ready to steal Stoudemire's ball at any time.

Soon, Stoudemire's ball was exposed, and he was about to dunk it.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly stabilized his pace and reached out to shoot.

Just as his hand was about to slap the basketball, he felt a sharp pain in the instep of his right foot...... Yes!

He subconsciously let out a cry of pain.

Right now...... Yes!!

Stoudemire let out a louder scream, and then he threw away his basketball and fell.

When Stoudemire fell to the floor beside him, clutching his right ankle and screaming in pain, Zhou Zheng was stunned, he didn't know what was happening.

But Zach Randolph rushed over as soon as possible, blocking him behind him in a daze.

Then, Sean Marion rushed over angrily, he glared at Zhou Zheng fiercely, and it could be seen that he wanted to give Zhou Zheng a little color, and his words were full of angry questions.

"Do you want to fight?" Zach Randolph has always emphasized this: "I don't mind stuffing your head in my crotch. ”

The referee hurried over and separated the two people who were facing each other.

Sean Marion put down the sentence "A bunch of villains!" Angrily, he walked over to inquire about Stoudemire's injury.

At this time, Zhou Zheng still didn't know what was going on, he looked up at the big screen, and then he figured out what happened...... It turned out that at the moment when he stopped to break the ball, Stoudemire's jumping step landed on his instep, and then slipped suddenly, and his ankle was seriously twisted, and Zhou Zheng saw the deformation of his shoes from the picture...... In the uncontrollable exclamation of the audience.

Zhou Zheng is full of guilt in his heart, he is not a dirty player, he can at most scratch the opponent's itchy flesh when defending.

He never wanted to take his opponent down on the court, but now... Stoudemire was injured because of himself.

He felt guilty.

He was about to go over to apologize to Stoudemire, but Zach Randolph put his arm on Zhou Zheng's shoulder again, and then hugged him with a smile: "You have a great talent for being a villain. You're a lot better than I was in the first game. ”

Zach Randolph did not hesitate to give Zhou Zheng praise.

Zhou Zheng was speechless.

At this time, the photojournalist on the sidelines accurately captured the picture of the two.

The angle of the photograph is very good, and behind them is Stoudemire's face distorted by pain.

[It's finally opened, ask for a monthly pass, and hope to be able to make a preemptive move.] 】
