Chapter 220 Scarier than the Scary Lakers
After beating the Jazz relatively easily with the new tactics, the Lakers ushered in two relatively easy schedules against the Grizzlies and the Warriors. When encountering these two teams, the Lakers only need to show their true abilities. up!Such a team has no way to cause a little interference to the Lakers!It can even be said that such a team has not yet found its own team building route!
But the bad news for the Lakers is not against these two teams, but because after defeating these two teams, the Lakers ushered in the last stop of the last back-to-back game of the season!Portland Trail Blazers!

This is not the worst situation, what is even worse is the opponents the Lakers will face next, 3 top 5 teams in the Western Conference, 4 life-and-death battles, and the final Western Conference rankings!It's also the final slot battle!The last scary schedule for the Lakers!Play against the most likely teams!
The first battle is more difficult, and the third consecutive battle is still a pioneer who wants revenge!The Blazers who can match the depth of the lineup with the Lakers!On the surface, the Lakers have no other advantages except physical strength for the Trail Blazers!I believe Dunleavy has started laughing now!
As everyone imagined, in this game, the Trail Blazers started with the same tactics that the Lakers used against the Trail Blazers in the previous game, competing for the depth of the lineup, and defending from the beginning, the highest intensity defense!The bullying is that the Lakers don't have much physical strength to compete with the Blazers!

Obviously, in the eyes of the Trail Blazers, the Lakers don't have such physical strength anymore!And what the Trail Blazers are most proud of is their strong lineup!Such an approach can be regarded as scheming!Even Thomas frowned seeing this situation!Because it was the first time Thomas found someone more shameless than himself!Although this guy has no championship experience, his coaching level is still very high!
But soon, a smile appeared on the corner of Thomas' mouth!Because, Thomas thought of the time when he was bored, the time when he wanted all the Lakers players to exercise, and the time when some people competed together!Thinking of this, Thomas is full of confidence. The Lakers are a real 12-man team!Dunleavy, you will regret your choice today!
Thomas immediately called a timeout, and then sent out a lineup of O'Neill, Horry, Jalens, Jon Barry, and Harper!Just tell everyone: "O'Neal, I want you to go all out in the first quarter! Use your full strength, don't worry about physical strength! Other players, I want you to assist O'Neal in offense and use it in defense. Do your best! Remember! You only have one quarter!" In the first quarter, under O'Neal's all-out approach, the Blazers had no way to open the score, and the Lakers did the opposite. Compete defensively with the Blazers' starters!
The end of the first quarter with a score of 20-21 was the best answer to Thomas!

In the second quarter, Thomas sent out a lineup composed of Carter, Fisher, Hill, Barkley, and Ben!The Trail Blazers still didn't have a good solution. O'Neal was so awesome in the first quarter!The Blazers didn't find a way to really defend. In the second quarter, the Blazers didn't know who to defend!Everyone deserves the Blazers' full defense!So at the end of halftime, the Lakers took the lead with a score of 47 to 41!

In the third quarter, the Lakers changed again!Hill, Ben, Mobley, Carter, Horry!Completely turned into a small lineup, the Lakers actually started to play run and bomb tactics!Mobley scored 18 points in a single quarter, which already says it all!Hill and Carter even directly organized the team's offense!This is what all the Blazers players did not expect!Dunleavy's face has changed!Come on!Can the Lakers still play like this?Dunleavy has already imagined the outcome of this game!

In the fourth quarter, O'Neal, who had had enough rest, played again, together with the lineup of Dell Curry, Mobley, Barkley, and Jaylens, once again filled a heavy weight for the team's final victory !The moment Dunleavy wanted to use the depth of the lineup to play, Thomas already knew the result!What the Lakers are least afraid of is someone bullying the Lakers' overall lack of physical strength!

If the Trail Blazers use their strongest lineup to compete with the Lakers from the beginning, some of the Lakers players will not be able to truly rest, and the Lakers' real substitute lineup will be able to fight against the Trail Blazers' substitute lineup. Your physical strength will really be exhausted!

Dun Levy is clever but was mistaken by cleverness!Thomas looked at Dunleavy, whose eyes were blazing and pale, with a grinning expression. He couldn't get up from laughing in his stomach!I believe Dunleavy will not use his lineup to bully the Lakers in the future!
After the game, Thomas took the initiative to shake hands with Dunleavy, and then looked at Rodman in a suit on the sidelines!I am very happy to think that it seems that the management still attaches great importance to themselves. Although Rodman stayed at the end of the regular season, he is already very obedient!Otherwise, how could Rodman, who was not in the 12-man roster, come to the Jazz's away game?Looks like the people behind the scenes have been warned!

At the beginning of the season, no one really cares about anything!Because everything is unknown, even if the Lakers are strong, they don't know where they are strong?No one can say anything about Rodman's arrival!However, it is already the end of the season, and the Lakers without Rodman are going to No.1, so his value will be reduced a lot. If he still indulges himself like that, Thomas will have enough reasons to drive him away. let him go!Thomas thought with some pride!
Of course, this is indeed the case under normal circumstances!However, Rodman is no ordinary person!What Thomas did was the most serious provocation to him!For provocation, hehe!Rodman has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
All Rodman has to do now is to lower Thomas' vigilance!This time Rodman didn't accept someone's arrangement, everything was his own choice!
After winning back-to-back three-game winning streak, the Lakers got two days off!On the 24th, I came to the home court of the Spurs and challenged the Spurs!That is to challenge a Spurs team that has been defeated by the Lakers in a row!It's a pity that the Lakers forgot one thing, that was the Spurs at the beginning of the season!The spurs that haven't shown their fangs yet!The confident Lakers ushered in a very exciting defeat for them!From the first quarter, the game was down and down!
At the end of halftime, the score presented was that the Lakers trailed by a score of 46 to 61!The Spurs led the Lakers by 15 points in the first half!This is the first time for the Lakers this season!Shameful first time!
Thomas looked at Popovich on the sidelines, at this teacher who had nothing to do with him in this time and space!Take a deep breath!It turned out that I have been stared at by others all the time!And one of the scariest people in the league!It turned out that I really relaxed a little bit!It turns out that the team in this league not to be outdone, and the strongest Spurs this season!
The current Spurs have been reborn in this game against the Lakers!Since Duncan was established as his absolute core, plus the veterans selected by Popo who can help the Spurs this season, it is no longer the team that the Lakers can handle at the beginning of the season !

This game is the game that old coach Popo calculated to the end!The next match will be Bobo's real revenge battle!Bobo's declaration is to say again, "I will get some interest first, and in the final finals, we will have a final competition! I will get back everything I lost!"

Thomas looked at the lack of energy of the Lakers players and sighed deeply!hehe!He was really generalized!It seems that the next headache is to restore the spirit of these players!
"Teacher, first of all, thank you for your reminder! However, this is only half time! I believe my players will give you a wonderful performance in the second half! I hope you can enjoy watching it then! "Thomas said in a very low voice, licking his lips!
