Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 261 Is this all it took?

Occasionally something so magical happens in the game of basketball that we can only call it luck.In the absence of any external stimuli, a certain player or some players will suddenly act like a god, and they can send the ball into the basket as long as they take a shot. Regardless of whether the shooting posture is beautiful or ugly, they can shoot and score, no matter how they shoot. , what can you do at this time?Can't I just pinch my nose and pray that the opponent's state won't last too long?
The Blazers are now in such a magical state, with a frighteningly high shooting percentage.And I don't know if it's because of the start of the game. Their defense is like a mad dog. They won't let go when they catch you. They are so strong that the Lakers think they played a fake Trail Blazers in the first two games.At first they thought that the Blazers only came for a few rounds, but when they saw that the Blazers maintained this fearless state for 3 minutes, everyone was stunned. An absurd feeling: Could this group of guys have been doped before the game?

I was so complaining in my heart that the game had to continue, but the Blazers players were really annoying. Except for the two old guys Miller and Camby, as long as the other three saw the ball holder, it was like a hungry wolf Like a big piece of meat, you can pounce on it immediately.Fortunately, Ye Feng said that Aldridge, a guy who focuses on attacking but not defending, is not stingy with his physical strength, and he follows Odom. As soon as the opponent gets the ball, he will get stuck behind him. The advantage in strength Let Odom frown.Although Roy wanted to face Kobe, Ye Feng did not switch defenses with him frequently, because facing Artest is a more dangerous thing. This guy in the Lakers not only contributes to the defensive end, but also to the offensive end. As an attacker, Roy is still more suitable for playing against a technical player like Kobe. If you are playing against Artest, you may not know when the leg injury will recur.Among the outside players in the entire starting lineup, only Ye Feng can carry Artest's body, so Roy can only defend Kobe.

Of course, Roy also knew that he didn't have a good way to face Kobe. He could keep up with Kobe's footsteps with his movement speed and reaction ability, but now he doesn't dare to do these actions that are too heavy on the body. up.But he also has his own little calculations. It’s fine if he can’t defend Kobe on the defensive end. There are not many in the entire team who can defend Kobe one-on-one. He just needs to find it on the offensive end.Isn't it just to score with Kobe?Although Roy was injured, he didn't think it was a difficult thing. Besides, didn't he have so many teammates?
Throughout the first 10 minutes of the first quarter, the Blazers maintained a strong offensive firepower, not to mention that they can completely match the Lakers inside today, and even sometimes have a slight upper hand.The existence of Camby undoubtedly added insurance to the Blazers' rebounding. After all, he relied on this to make a living, and the Lakers shot a shit-like shooting percentage very strangely. He was alone in his own basket. It was a joy to brush.Camby is very self-aware. He knows what the Blazers need to do to trade him over, so he almost never asks for the ball in the low post, but only scores through pick-and-rolls and second offenses.

However, his second attack in the first quarter did not work at all, because the others were too accurate.Roy is 4 for 3, Miller is 5 for 3, Ye Feng is 7 for 5, Aldridge is 5 for 4, just such a little offensive rebound is not enough for Camby!But he is very happy about this situation, grabbing offensive rebounds is much more tiring than grabbing defensive rebounds, not to mention that the opponent must be heavily guarded at the basket, and the psychological pressure of grabbing defensive rebounds is much less than offensive rebounds, you must know offensive rebounds If you don't grab it and don't return to the defense in time, the opponent can score two points with a counter-attack layup, which is a big loss.

What makes Phil feel speechless is that even after the two sides put on the bench together, the Blazers players also seem to have been hit with chicken blood. The team that lost the game and looked stronger than the Lakers.The Lakers' substitute players are not bad, but there are no full-time defenders, let alone attack and defend like Kobe and Artest.On the contrary, the Blazers showed a strong rebounding ability, and they played well in outside shooting. By the end of the first quarter, they led the Lakers by as much as 15 points.

This embarrasses the Zijin Army, which is no different from being pressed to the ground by the Blazers and slapped non-stop.We're number one in the West, okay?We are the stronger ones, okay?How did we dig such a big hole for ourselves now?The Lakers generals were completely confused. Indeed, within 12 minutes, when their own shots hit the iron frequently and their opponents made frequent shots, few people really could calm down.Of course, Phil himself was not as calm as before. He wrote and drew on the tactical board a little irritably, trying to design a better tactic for the team.

But there is no way, some things cannot be compensated by tactics, such as the resilience and ruthlessness of the Blazers.The performance at the beginning of the second quarter proved that their excellent touch in the first quarter was only a flash in the pan, and there were only three outside players who really continued to maintain it. Among them, Roy also significantly reduced the number of shots he took. After all, he wanted to play against Kobe. For those who don't want to make mistakes or give rebounds to their opponents, it's better to pass the ball earlier.But the life of the Lakers is still not very easy, because the Blazers are still as fierce as ever on the defensive end, but the strange thing is that they can control their emotions well, and no one gets a technical foul because of the deliberate provocation of the Lakers players , at most it was a personal foul.

In fact, this is an unbelievable thing. Under normal circumstances, this kind of action is somewhat defensive, which means that the players are more irritable. They need to use this method to release their inner anger. It's time to do it. At this time, a technical foul is a light one, and maybe he will be sent off directly.But the Trail Blazers are different. They have a calm heart under the violent performance, completely ignoring the trash talk of the Lakers players. Hang on to each other.

So although they didn't score like they did in the first quarter, the Lakers' offense is still very difficult, and the point difference seems to be heading for 20 points. Is this game just wasted?
