Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 262 Abnormal Game
No one can explain why this game turned into such a ghost. In fact, before that, everyone at most thought that the two sides would be evenly matched. Of course, there were one-sided massacres, but they stubbornly believed that the one who raised the butcher knife must be the stronger Lakers. Rather than what it is like now, the Blazers seem to be chasing the Lakers with their ass.It wasn't a normal game, but it just seemed like it happened.

The Lakers players were aggrieved, and even Kobe couldn't help but start to wonder if he was bewitched. The Blazers' basket seemed to be covered, and they couldn't make any shots. They also contributed a lot of defensive rebounds to their opponents. Of course, the Lakers' inside players did not try to grab rebounds and then use the second offense to score, but this is not the last game, Camby is standing under the basket and watching.Coupled with the fact that other Trail Blazers players also showed an extraordinary desire for rebounding, although the Lakers have a luxurious inside group, they do not have a clear advantage in rebounding at all.

On the other hand, the Blazers, under Ye Feng's combing, every firepower point made its own contribution.In fact, Ye Feng's routine is not difficult at all, and it can only be regarded as a routine routine, that is, pick and roll with inside players, and then break through to distribute the ball. The specific position to distribute the ball depends on the situation on the court.With Ye Feng's urgency, he would never call Aldridge to pull out the pick-and-roll. As long as he can, he usually looks for Camby. The reason is very simple. Camby lacks the ability to attack and shoot with the ball. The ball attacking the frame is a good way for him to score, and Aldridge just waits for the catch and jump shot on both sides of the three-second zone. It's a good thing for players.

Watching the Blazers players keep scoring, Kobe was a little anxious to get angry. He didn't expect the team to fall into such a predicament, including himself. The only thing he can do now is to try to get close to the basket, so as to at least improve his shooting rate.But looking at the Lakers' lineup, there are not enough points to break through with the ball. Who else can break through with the ball besides Kobe?Artest counts as one, but the defender he is facing now is Ye Feng, and it doesn’t matter if he shoots a basket. It is indeed a good choice for him to launch an assault from a high position with the ball, but his height is very suitable for the Blazers' backcourt players to attack him, and he is directly facing Camby, a player with more experience than him old monster.

In fact, Odom is still a good choice, but Kobe's stubborn temper came up, and he only believed in himself at this time.It is true that such stubbornness allowed him to occupy a high position in the history of the NBA, but in the final analysis, basketball is not a one-person sport. When facing a weak team, it is really no problem for Kobe to score wildly alone, and the team is also very It's hard to lose, but now their opponent is the Blazers.Although the Trail Blazers' regular season record is only ranked sixth in the Western Conference, being able to draw 1-1 with the Lakers means that their strength is not what the regular season record shows. Facing such an opponent, Kobe is even stronger. Some are not wise.

In this game, the Blazers' inside line was almost forged into an impregnable wall. Kobe struggled a lot every time he approached the basket. Facing Camby, he might not be able to score the ball, but the Blazers' players wanted whatever they wanted on the offensive end. , The score is still opening up one after another.If it weren't for Kobe's unbelievable long-range three-pointer in the last offensive round before the end of the first half, the Lakers might really be behind their opponent by more than 20 points. If so, 18 points is also unacceptable to them Yes, this is a maddening situation compared to the previous two games.

No one knows what happened in the locker room of the visiting team during the intermission, but judging from the gloomy expressions of the Lakers players, Phil definitely didn't give them a good look in the locker room, maybe he was cruel They gave them a meal.But so what?So what if the players wake up after being scolded?As long as the Blazers continue to maintain their previous vigorous vitality, 18 points is a hurdle that the Lakers cannot cross.However, in the second half, Phil adjusted the lineup and replaced Fisher with Shannon Brown as the team's point guard. Anyway, the ball was still in Kobe's hands, and his task was to entangle Miller.

In fact, Phil can go to Bynum to improve the height of the inside line, and Gasol's matchup with Aldridge and Bynum's matchup with Camby can be said to be the tip of the needle, with similar technical characteristics.But Phil has been completely disappointed with Bynum. He would rather continue to maintain the inside configuration of Odom + Gasol than let Bynum play. Can also play top for a while.

Brown's appearance really slowed down Miller's footsteps, but Ye Feng didn't care, he consciously increased the number of shots he took.If in the first half he generally chooses to split the ball after getting into the paint, then in the second half he prefers to attack directly. Anyway, he doesn't suffer much against the Lakers' two paints with his physical fitness.Camby and Aldridge gave up the position under the basket with winks, but only Odom followed, and Gasol continued to sit under the basket. At this time, Camby will give Aldridge off the ball Covering, creating a new point of attack for Ye Feng, you must know that Camby's block, Aldridge is completely open.

In the third quarter, the Lakers felt better, but they could only draw with the Blazers. Both sides scored 28 points in a single quarter.For the Blazers, this is nothing to complain about, but the Lakers are different. The same score in a single quarter means that they have not narrowed the gap at all. A full 18 points are still on them, waiting for them to dig themselves out in the first half. Fill in the hole.Phil frowned on the sidelines. He really wondered if he had run into a ghost. How could such a thing happen to the great Lakers?In terms of strength on paper, the Lakers are more than a little better than the Blazers, but this time they just can't beat them.

Now it seems that there is no need to chase points in the fourth quarter. Anyway, this is a whole series. Even if the Blazers win, they will only lead 2 to 1. There are at least two or three games to play. If it is like the NCAA tournament In the knockout round, the Lakers will definitely grit their teeth and continue to fight back, but is it still necessary to go all out now?
