Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 155 Fiasco
Ye Feng's worries quickly became reality. Roy was very strong, but he was caught in the pincer attack of Kobe and Ariza. He only took three shots in the first quarter. Alder and Oden on the inside were even more miserable. Pau Gaso After all, Er is an old-fashioned and powerful insider, capable of inside and outside, and his shooting range can even reach the three-point line. Coupled with Bynum, who is young and has explosive physical fitness, they almost occupy the three-second zone of both sides.At this time, Blake and Batum alone can't do anything. They can't attack and defend, and they can't defend. McMillan frowned tightly on the sidelines.

This has nothing to do with experience, it is completely crushed in strength, even if the Blazers players make up a lot of experience in a short period of time, if they can't beat it, they can't beat it.Strictly speaking, except for the point guard, every position of the Blazers is basically a disadvantage, and at most they can only maintain a balance of power. Such a performance can be described as a dream to take away a victory at the Staples Center.Obviously the Lakers are here for the championship this season. They will never allow anyone to sabotage their plan. If they want to achieve this goal, they have to fight a bloody road.

Especially Kobe.

He may be the greatest paranoid after Jordan. In order to win, he will do whatever it takes, whether it is his teammates, himself, or even the head coach.As long as he wins, the process is not something he considers, so he will yell at his teammates loudly on the court, let them focus on the game, and earnestly implement the tactics assigned by the head coach.Roy is also a good leader, but he is far worse than Kobe in this aspect. Perhaps calmness and reason are the most important things for him, but not for Kobe. As long as he can win the game, Kobe can even Even after dozens of shots in a game, his expression remains unchanged.

But he shouldn't need to take so many shots in this game.The Blazers' defensive system soon began to collapse under the attack of the Lakers. No matter inside or outside, the Lakers players wanted whatever they wanted. Except for Fisher and Ariza, the other three were scoring points like crazy. The hit rate has also been raised, and the continuous mid-range jumpers made Roy have to discuss with Batum about changing defenses. At least Batum still has height.

However, when Batum went to defend Kobe, he discovered that the captain had dug a hole for him.Is Kobe so defensive?As the league's top star, he beat up [-] ways to score on defenders. How could Batum, a fledgling rookie, take on such an important task?At the beginning, he really wanted to use his height to cause some trouble for Kobe, but soon he found that he was thinking too much. Would Kobe, a person who can come and go freely in the low post, be afraid that you will use his height to defend him?The continuous post-up singles began to make Batum doubt his life. He didn't know whether he was playing outside or inside.

However, Roy didn't mean to switch back. He just tried every means to save his energy after switching to Ariza, so that he could make up for the lost points on the offensive end.Defending Ariza is a relatively easy task. Phil trained him as a 3D player. When attacking, he just runs around and then catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer. It is not very difficult to defend.Batum watched Roy running behind Ariza with envy, and then looked at Kobe who was hunched over in front of him and prepared to attack, wanting to cry without tears.Forget it, the little brother has to have the consciousness of the little brother, and the boss should take the blame!
The Blazers have fallen behind by a large margin since the first quarter, and McMillan can only smile wryly on the sidelines. It is not enough to replace any substitute at this time, and Outlaw can't save this situation.Thinking of this, he looked helplessly at Ye Feng, who was sitting at the end of the bench, watching the game seriously. If there was this kid around, the team's tactical system could have some other changes. Right now, he can only pray for the loss. It's not so bad.The same situation also happened at the beginning of the second quarter when everyone dispatched substitutes, and McMillan was hit hard by the opponent again.

Outlaw is still good, he is the key to scoring in the Blazers' bench lineup, coupled with Fernandez, a very accurate three-pointer, the Blazers' bench players do not lack offensive firepower.But the Lakers fought against them. The lineup Phil sent was a bit strange. The three guards and two forwards were not to defend against the opponent's attack, but to score more points than the opponent.Farmar, Brown, Vujacic, Powell and Odom, this combination caught the Blazers off guard, because the tallest person organizes the offense, should we always put our center in the high position?

Odom has always been known for his versatility. The 2-meter-high power forward plays the small forward position, but his style of play is more biased towards the backcourt players. He has a very good level of ball control and passing. The Lakers Megatron League The most "three high" combination is him plus Gasol and Bynum, that is the strongest state of the Lakers this season.Phil's starting with Ariza does not mean that Odom is out of shape. Putting this guy in the rotation will play a greater role. After all, Kobe will not act according to your face when starting. It is the most normal thing for a high position to be a transfer station.

Odom, who led the bench to play, gave full play to his advantages as soon as he came on the court, using his height and court vision to continuously send exquisite passes to his teammates. Przybilla could only be in a dilemma near the free throw line when encountering such a scene. The team's backcourt player?Forget it, expecting them to defend Odom, it is better to follow the Lakers players for two steps.At the end of the first half, the Blazers were basically beaten, and they were 23 points behind. It’s not that they can’t catch up, but they have lost the spirit that they must win. Even if they have the strength, they will definitely not be able to beat the Lakers, let alone The strength on paper itself is at a disadvantage.

McMillan's incentives at halftime didn't work at all. The Lakers' offense and defense were much more terrifying than what he said, at least most of the Trail Blazers thought so.In the second half, they still didn't regain their desire to win. They wandered around the court aimlessly like walking dead. The only one who still had fighting spirit was Roy, but he alone couldn't beat the Lakers.

Looking at the increasing score difference on the scoreboard, McMillan shook his head and gave up the last resistance, let's wait for the second game!
