against the front

Chapter 210 Confrontation
"Mr. First Center, you are nothing more than that!"

When Andre Miller got rid of Yan Hua's defense and hit a jumper, Andre Miller did not run over to challenge Yan Hua. Instead, Marcus Camby jumped out and imitated Yan Hua. Sneering at his tone, he sneered at Yan Hua.

At the beginning of this season, when Marcus Camby was still in the Clippers, when the Kings were a guest at Staples and played back-to-back games against the Lakers and Clippers, Marcus Camby often ridiculed Yan Hua, but In that game, Yan Hua used his outstanding performance to slap Marcus Camby several times firmly, making Marcus Camby's taunts and provocations before the game all become a laughing stock .

Yan Hua, who is no longer on the same level as Marcus Camby, has long since forgotten the grievances with Camby, but Marcus Camby, who was humiliated by Yan Hua , but always kept this matter in mind, and wanted to find a suitable opportunity to return to Yan Hua. Although Camby knew it was difficult, Marcus Camby never gave up. over this thought.

"This guy." Looking at Marcus Camby who mocked him and then walked away, Yan Hua was a little speechless for a moment. Don't you have any self-awareness about your own strength and situation?Dare to taunt me at such a time, it is simply asking for death. After staring at Marcus Camby's back and taking a hard look, Yan Hua ran towards the baseline to serve the baseline.

However, when Yan Hua, who sent the baseline ball, was about to retaliate against Marcus Camby on the offensive end and let Marcus Camby have a clear understanding of his own strength, Yan Hua who had just arrived in the frontcourt Yan Hua found that there were already two defenders standing beside him, LaMarcus Aldridge and Marcus Camby one in front and one behind, before Yan Hua had received the ball, they were facing Yan Hua. Expanded the off-ball double-team.

"Sure enough!" Seeing Yan Hua, who was double-teamed without the ball, and Tony Allen, who was completely emptied by the Blazers, and Reggie Toyce, who stood on the sidelines after the game started, he was ruthless. He squeezed his fist hard a few times, and cursed a few words in his heart by the way.

Before the start of this game, Reggie Toyes had a premonition that the Blazers would double-team Yan Hua and let out one of Serge Ibaka and Tony Allen. Unexpectedly, Reggie Toyes His premonition came true. Looking at Tony Allen, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and there was no defender in front of him, Reggie Troyce knew that this game would not be as easy as expected.

Yan Hua, who was frantically double-teamed by the Trail Blazers at the basket, had no choice but to leave the basket and go to the high position to find opportunities. However, even if Yan Hua left the basket, Marcus Camby and Lamarcus Aldridge were still inseparable. Yan Hua doesn't mean to relax his defense at all, because compared to the low post attack, Yan Hua's high ball attack is not weak at all.

After Yan Hua took Marcus Camby and LaMarcus Aldridge out of the basket, Tony Allen, who was still hesitating at the top of the arc, quickly started to move towards the basket that was already unguarded. rushed over.

There was no defense at all, and the Blazers' insiders followed Yan Hua and left the basket, so Tony Allen, who was originally emptied by the Blazers, rushed to the basket and made a layup very easily, helping the Kings equalize up the score.

Reggie Troyes, who was still frowning just now, after Tony Allen scored a layup, the wrinkles between his brows became significantly lighter, but the Blazers who were standing not far from Reggie Troyce Coach Nate McMillan, now scratching his head.

Double-teaming Yan Hua and restricting Yan Hua are tactics that the Blazers cannot change, because Nate McMillan knows very well that the key to restricting the King is to restrict Yan Hua. Only by restricting Yan Hua's performance can the King's tactics be disrupted Arrangement, this is the lesson learned by Nate McMillan from the series between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets last season. It is better to let the king's outside line and Tony Allen shoot than to let Yan Hua have enough time at the basket. Space, to complete the offense, Yan Hua's level of insiders, as long as the defense against him is a little looser, the consequences will be unbearable.

But when Yan Hua left the basket and went to the high position to look for opportunities to attack with the ball, Nate McMillan found that he had new problems to solve. If Marcus Camby and LaMarcus Al Delici follows Yan Hua and pulls out, then Tony Allen, who is unguarded, will go straight to the basket of the Blazers just like in the round just now, but if he does not follow out, or only one person follows out, Then Yan Hua will undoubtedly get the chance to attack with the ball. Thinking of this, Nate McMillan couldn't help scratching his head a few times.

When the Blazers dealt with the Kings by targeting Yan Hua on both offensive and defensive ends, the Kings quickly found a solution on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, after Yan Hua faced the pick-and-roll, Andre Miller , there is still no good way. Although he is tall and has long arms and excellent movement speed, Yan Hua is really not good at dealing with small guards.

The Blazers used pick-and-rolls to deal with Yan Hua on the offensive end, while the Kings used the Blazers' double-teaming of Yan Hua on the offensive end to let Yan Hua move up to the high position to open up space for other players to break through. It can be said that the Kings and the Blazers Now they have found a strategy to crack the opponent's defense. However, the strange thing is that both Reggie Toyes and Nate McMillan are standing on the sidelines, unmoved by what happened on the field. There quietly watched the game on the field, as if waiting for the opponent to make a change first.

Nate McMillan chose to be conservative because he was not confident in the strength of the Trail Blazers. As for Reggie Toyce, he purely wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to play the Trail Blazers to adjust the state of his players. Of course , Reggie Toyce is also very satisfied with the current performance of the main players on the court.

Although the Blazers are arranging their own tactics against Yan Hua on both offensive and defensive ends, but on the offensive end, in order to avoid the deterrence of Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka on the defensive end, the Blazers' offense has always been around Yan Hua. But the Kings are completely opposite. After Yan Hua led the Trail Blazers inside out of the basket, the Kings players on the field rushed to the basket whenever they had a chance, and their offensive efficiency at the basket , It will always be higher than the outside line, and this is where Reggie Troyes can hold his breath.

Just like that, one didn't want to change, the other couldn't change, and the game fell into a stalemate.
