Chapter 211 Destroying the Blazers (1)

"This is really a speechless game!"

After the trial in the opening stage, the shortcomings and loopholes of the Kings and the Trail Blazers have become very obvious. However, whether it is the head coach of the Kings, Reggie Toyce, or the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Nate McMillan, are all as stable as Mount Tai. Standing on the sidelines, he turned a blind eye to his team's shortcomings and loopholes, so Kenny Smith, sitting on the sidelines commentary, began to complain about Reggie Toyce and Nate McMillan, two "no Competent" head coach.

A wonderful game, not only the confrontation between the players on the court, but also the strategizing of the head coach off the court, but Reggie Toyce and Nate McMillan, how can there be any strategizing at all, in Kenny- From Smith's point of view, these two guys are just waiting to die.

If you find the opponent's shortcomings, you don't make adjustments. When you see your own shortcomings, you don't make up for them. Instead, you stand on the sidelines and do nothing like a spectator, letting the players on the field solve all the problems. It really took the style of the nanny coach to the extreme.

24 to 27, at the end of the first quarter, the away game, and also missed two core Trail Blazers, they were only 3 points behind, and on the scene, the Blazers also played inextricably with the Kings, completely Don't fall behind.

Therefore, when the players on the field were off the field, Nate McMillan, as the head coach of the lagging side, also showed joy. The way it is now is more or less proved that Nate McMillan's tactics and strategies are successful. From this point of view, Nate McMillan does have the conditions to be complacent.

Nate Mick Millan, who is behind, thinks his tactics have succeeded, and Reggie Toyes, who is ahead, doesn't think his tactics have failed. After all, the Kings are still leading the score.

However, Reggie Toyes is also going to take advantage of the timeout to think carefully about how to make changes to the team's main lineup. Tony Allen's shooting shortcomings are always a big problem, as long as this shortcoming It has always existed, and the Blazers' double-teaming of Yan Hua will not relax for a moment.

After the second-quarter official timeout whistle sounded and the bench, led by Andres Nosinho and Spencer Hawes, walked off the court, Reggie Troyes pondered back and forth for nearly 10 minutes. Finally a decision was made to replace Tony Allen and the main lineup with Jrue Holiday.

Although Zhu Holiday is far inferior to Tony Allen in terms of game experience and defensive ability, compared to Tony Allen, Zhu Holiday is undoubtedly stronger in scoring ability and has more scoring methods. Zhu Holiday came to hold the ball, and the Blazers would never dare to let him go. Therefore, letting Zhu Holiday replace Tony Allen on the field will definitely reduce the Blazers' double-teaming of Yan Hua.

Perhaps it was expected that the king would make such a change. When the main lineups of both sides re-appeared, the Blazers' defensive position also changed. Andre, who had been following Kevin Martin in the first quarter, Miller, in front of Jrue Holiday, Rudy Fernandez on Kevin Martin, Nicolas Batum on John Salmons, LaMarcus Aldridge and Marcus Camby is still following Yan Hua's transformation, this time the one who was emptied became Serge Ibaka.

"Small sample, wait and see the good show." Watching the Blazers' defensive changes after the game restarted, Reggie Toyes, who was standing on the sidelines, raised the corners of his mouth and almost laughed out loud. Now Serge - Ibaka, it's not the guy who can shoot the three-point shot at the open position at the beginning of the new season. After a whole season of hard work, Serge Ibaka's mid-range shooting ability is absolutely capable. Severely punish those teams who dare to let him go.

After seeing Serge Ibaka being emptied, Jrue Holiday, who was planning to give the basketball to John Salmons, passed the basketball directly to the left bottom after moving two steps laterally Serge Ibaka in the corner, and the unguarded Serge Ibaka, after slowly adjusting his body posture, he threw the basketball in his hand steadily.

With a sound of "Swipe!", the basketball thrown by Serge Ibaka went into the net.

After Serge Ibaka made an open three-pointer, Reggie Toyes and Nate McMillan standing on the sidelines had completely different expressions. After Ka made a shot, he swung his arm fiercely, his excitement was beyond words, while Nate McMillan was so frowning that he could kill several flies.

If shorting Tony Allen is a solid strategy and tactic, then shorting Serge Ibaka is a risky strategy, and it is still a very risky strategy. After all, in the final stage of the regular season , Serge Ibaka's mid-range and long-range shooting has already improved significantly.

After Serge Ibaka's open three-pointer, Nate McMillan pinched himself and began to pray in his heart that this black guy's shot was just a blind cat If he ran into a dead mouse, he would definitely miss the next shot.

However, the more you don't want anything to happen, the more often something will happen. In the next round, when Andre Miller missed a single shot in a misplaced single, Serge Yi, who returned to the offensive end, missed a shot. Bacca made another open three-pointer.

After Serge Ibaka made two open three-pointers in a row, the point difference between the two sides was directly expanded from 4 points to 10 points, and Nate McMillan was only more than 40 points after the official timeout ended. In seconds, a timeout was called again, ready to adjust the Blazers' tactics.

"The Blazers are having a hard time now." After Nate McMillan called a timeout, Kenny Smith, who was on the sidelines, also began to worry about the Blazers.

If the Blazers continue to double-team Yan Hua after the timeout, with Serge Ibaka's performance just now, they will definitely kill the Blazers, even if Serge Ibaka's touch after the timeout will be different. Come down, the Blazers must also give up the strategy of shorting Serge Ibaka.

However, once the Blazers give up double-teaming Yan Hua and strengthen their defense against Serge Ibaka, the situation that the Blazers may face in the future is something no one can predict.

Yan Hua, who has been double-teamed since the beginning of the game, is likely to be uncomfortable in the face of the sudden relaxation of the defense, and there is no feeling of frequent strikes, but Yan Hua may also explode suddenly. After all, from the beginning to the present, Yan Hua basically He didn't attack much, and he was holding back all the time. As for whether he made a big move or a fart, this is something that no one can predict.

"It's a bit difficult." After Kenny Smith finished speaking, Charles Barkley also echoed that the current situation of the Blazers is indeed not very good, and the choice that Nate McMillan now faces is also very difficult. .
