I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 259 Best Halftime Blake
As Yang Yi said, the Blazers' strategy in this game is to attack Brooks.

Blake's attack on Brooks was direct and brutal.

In the opening stage, Blake was the main offensive point of the Blazers, using sharp breakthroughs to attack the basket.

Blake is 1 meters tall and weighs only 91 kilograms. He is not a player who is good at impact. His style has always been based on passing, with relatively few breakthroughs.

But that was in the regular season, and the playoffs are completely different from the regular season, especially in such a life-and-death battle.

So, we saw today's Blake who played very differently from Blake!
Even though Blake's physical fitness is not outstanding, it is enough to play Xiaobu.

Although his speed and flexibility were not as good as Xiao Bu's, Xiao Bu was very uncomfortable with today's fierce and direct style of play.

I have played against the Blazers 4 times in the regular season, and played 5 games in the playoffs before today. In these 9 games, Xiaobu has formed a mindset for playing against Blake, so when the opponent suddenly changes his style of play, playing After becoming fierce, it completely exceeded Xiao Bu's expectations, and also disrupted Xiao Bu's defensive rhythm.

Before the end of the first quarter, Brooks lost two fouls on Blake!

Adelman couldn't sit still, and replaced Xiaobu with Lowry.

Throughout the series, Adelman was not satisfied with Brooks' performance. Even when he won the game before, Bloom's performance was not outstanding, but in the last two games, Brock's performance was even worse.

Thinking of this, Adelman was dissatisfied with Mosaic's operation. The point guard is already so weak, but you still traded Alston away!Although Lowry has great potential, he is not a strong immediate combat power. At least this season, the team's point guard position has not become stronger, but has become weaker!

If it really fails in the first round, Mosaic will bear half of the responsibility!

Just when Ashuai was full of resentment, Blake on the field hit Lowry like he hit Xiaobu.

Blake was still very determined to break through, but this time he hit a wall!

Although Lowry is not as tall as Xiaobu, he is heavier than Xiaobu, and his core strength is much stronger. He is a "small steel gun" on the court!
When Lowry made a defensive breakthrough, he kept fighting with his upper body and was firmly stuck in the inside line. Blake couldn't squeeze through, and he didn't have the advantage of speed.

However, Blake's golf quotient is very high, he immediately judged the situation, changed his strategy, pretended to continue to break through, attracted the defense, and passed the ball.

Seeing this scene, in the CCTV studio, Yang Yi said with a smile: "The villain has his own way. When he met Lowry, Blake had no choice but to pass the ball! Taking Blake as a reference, Lowry is indeed better than Xiaobu is stronger! At least there is no problem in one-on-one defense. I estimate that from next season, Xiaobu's main position may not be guaranteed!"

The commentary is like talking about cross talk, one is a joke, Yang Yi is a joke, and Yu Jia is a joke.

Sure enough, Yu Jia pretended to be puzzled and said: "Since Lowry is better than Xiaobu, why didn't Adelman choose Lowry from the beginning!"

Yang Yi explained: "Lowry has great potential, which is recognized in the NBA basketball circle, otherwise Mosaic would not replace him with Alston. However, he also has his own problems, such as the stability of three-pointers , look, this is not coming~"

As if to verify Yang Yi's analysis, on the field, Dorsey made a breakthrough to attract Roy and Blake's pincer attack, and Dorsey passed the ball to Lowry who was open on the outside in time.

Lowry, catching the ball, shot without hesitation.

This is a huge improvement from when he first came, when he couldn't even take a shot.Under Dorsey's stimulation, Wang Weide's training, and his own unremitting efforts, his three-point skills have gradually been developed.

However, the time for the development of the three-point skill is still too short, and it is far from reaching the level of his subsequent hundred-step piercing and flawless shooting.

This time the open shot hit the iron, and the bullet came out.

Yang Yi continued: "If you can't make a three-pointer, the impact on the Rockets is far from being as simple as not scoring."

"How?" Yu Jia asked.

"Lowry's three-point shooting rate is far inferior to that of Xiaobu. He can't provide the Rockets with stable outside firepower. Blake can safely and boldly let Lowry go and attack Dorsey with Roy. It is currently the most stable scoring point for the Rockets, if he is trapped, the Rockets' offense will be difficult."

After a while, Lowry made another shot from outside the three-point line, and this time he made it.

Yu Jiadao: "I hope this goal can make the Trail Blazers not dare to let him go too hard."

However, in the next round of offense, Blake still resolutely double-teamed Dorsey.

Yang Yi sighed: "The Trail Blazers are determined and let you shoot! If you make a shot, I admit it! If you don't make a shot, I earn it!"

Yu Jia exclaimed: "The Blazers are gambling!"

"Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance! Playoff games sometimes require a bit of gambling!"

In the next round of offense, Lowry didn't make another shot, but directly dribbled through.

As a "small steel gun" type player, breakthrough is his strong point.

But Blake also risked his life, following Lowry's footsteps, desperately defending with his body.

Blake is indeed a good player. Although his personal ability is not so outstanding, he is meticulous in playing. He is a player worthy of trust and entrustment.

Under Blake's defense, Lowry's layup hit the iron.

The Blazers got another chance to fight back.

Lowry's ineffective three-pointers and inefficient breakthroughs did not make the Rockets get much improvement in offense. Although the defense was a little more solid, the score was still behind.

After playing for a while, Adelman felt that the effect was not good, and replaced Lowry with Brent Barry.

After the old Barry came on the field, his effect was immediate.He is an experienced veteran with a brilliant resume, and he has extremely valuable experience in the playoffs.He played the role of a surprise player in the Spurs last season, and made Kobe and the Lakers suffer a lot in the playoffs.

After the old Barry came on the field, he handled the ball very reasonably. Whether it was shooting or passing, or even breaking through from time to time, he could get stuck on the point and hit the weakness of the opponent's defense.

After he played, the Rockets stabilized their position, and the score began to slowly recover.

However, the old Barry's problem is also obvious. Due to his old age, his direct threat to the basket is very limited. Not to mention that he can't attack the basket like Lowry, even Xiaobu's speed and breakthrough are far behind him. Can't reach.The Blazers simply replaced Blake, let him rest, and sent a substitute player up to guard Barry.

In addition, the old Barry's state has plummeted with the playing time. He played decently in the first 3 minutes, but after playing for a long time and his physical fitness declined, his turnovers began to increase, and his defensive movements could not keep up with the opponent. footsteps.

After playing continuously for 5 or 6 minutes, I started to support my knees with both hands, panting heavily.

Adelman was worried that Uncle Mu's tragedy would happen again, so he quickly replaced Barry with Xiaobu, and the Blazers also sacrificed Blake again.

Back to the beginning of the situation.

Throughout the first half, the Rockets' point guards switched back and forth like a lantern. All three had their own weaknesses, and these weaknesses were magnified in the face of the opponent's targeted deployment.

The point guard woes haunt the Rockets again.

In this way, by the end of the first half, the score was 48:52, and the Rockets were temporarily behind by 4 points.

There is no doubt that the best player in the half is Blake.It's not how well he performed, but the Rockets' opponents made him look like an All-Star!
