Chapter 240 Stay ahead
Back from the timeout, Lillard assisted McCollum to hit a long-range three-pointer, and the Blazers narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

Han Ziqi dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he gave the ball to Paul, who stepped up to the position. Paul chose to play Nurkic one-on-one. The Blazers decided to use double-teams to limit Paul's singles in the paint. So Paul turned the ball to the outside and gave the ball directly to Lopez who was ambushing in the bottom corner. Lopez was like a tall fort, firing three-point shells directly from a long distance. A three-pointer.

Lillard continued to dribble to the frontcourt. He made an emergency stop one step away from the three-point line and shot a jumper. Han Ziqi, who was still inside the three-point line, rushed forward to defend. Unexpectedly, Lillard He paused in the air, waited for Han Ziqi to jump up, leaned against Han Ziqi with his body, curled his body into a ball, and then stretched out his body like a bow to force a three-pointer, the referee immediately called a penalty Han Ziqi's thug foul, Lillard fell directly to the ground, and he threw the ball and smashed into the basket, 3+1, Han Ziqi once again suffered a big loss when facing Lillard.

Lillard sat on the ground and yelled at Han Ziqi. The atmosphere immediately reached its peak. Han Ziqi held his head in his hands. He regretted his defensive decision just now. This foul directly gave Lillard a chance to score 4 points. .

Lillard stood on the free throw line and steadily made an extra free throw. 42:38, the difference between the two sides was 4 points.

In this game, Lillard has contributed 15 points, and he scored one-third of the team's points. It can be said that the Lakers' defense against Lillard failed very badly, and Han Ziqi is the one who bears the brunt of the blame poor defense.

Taking advantage of Lillard's free throw time, Wharton called Han Ziqi to the sidelines to give some instructions, and then Han Ziqi went to catch the ball again.Han Ziqi slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Lillard made an eager look in front of him, as if he was about to steal Han Ziqi at any time. Han Ziqi did not make any special changes and continued to direct his teammates to run. Pope ran over from the other side with the help of Lopez's pick-and-roll. Han Ziqi went directly to the ball and passed the ball to Pope. The moment Pope caught the ball, he immediately pulled out a three-pointer, and the basketball bounced out of the basket. But the rebound was grabbed by Paul. After Paul grabbed the offensive rebound, he directly forced a dunk from the basket, 44:38.

"To be honest, Paul Mark's maturity on the field makes it hard for you to believe that he is a rookie player who has just entered the league. How many years has it been since the league has had such a player? 20 years? Who was the last one? Tim Duncan?" Reggie Miller said with a laugh.

"Yes, although Paul Mark is very young, he is already a pillar player of the Lakers. Although this is his first season, he has been able to score 19 points and 11 rebounds per game steadily. , if his progress is normal, three years later, the league will definitely usher in a super insider." Kenny Smith analyzed.

"The only shortcoming of Paul Mark now is his height. Although he plays the power forward position, his height is only about six feet eight inches. If he can continue to grow taller, his dominance in the interior will Will be stronger. Fortunately, he is only 19 years old, and he still has the opportunity to continue to grow taller." Reggie Miller analyzed.

After the last goal of 3+1, Han Ziqi followed the arrangement of Coach Wharton and began to change his defense strategy against Lillard. Coach Wharton arranged for the team to restrict Lillard's defensive strategy together, which made Lillard suddenly It is no longer easy to single and break in. As long as Lillard gets the ball, he will be double-teamed by two people immediately.

Once the core players are double-teamed, other role players must stand up, otherwise the opponent's defensive strategy will double-team the star players more recklessly.Lillard gave up the ball to other players, but it is a pity that today's Trail Blazers have no touch except for Lillard. Including CJ McCollum, everyone's offense is It ended with a strike. On the contrary, the Lakers revolved around Paul's inside offense. They played steadily on the offensive end, waiting for the best shot opportunity in each round before shooting. At the end of the first half, the Lakers had already led 56:44 Twelve points out of the Trail Blazers at home.

During the intermission, Coach Walton greatly appreciated the execution and concentration of the Lakers players on the court. Being able to lead the Trail Blazers by [-] points in the away game has already shown that their performance today is very good. Coach Walton He was very satisfied with the performance of the Lakers in the first half. After he praised everyone in the locker room, he asked a few things to pay special attention to in the second half, and the second half of the game began.

The Trail Blazers players who ran out of the player tunnel all had livid faces. It could be seen that they must have been furiously scolded by the coach in the locker room. Indeed, in the first half of the Trail Blazers, except Lillard Except for 19 points, the others' shooting percentage was only a poor 20.00%. This kind of poor performance is not worthy of winning.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers attacked first.Han Ziqi continued to decide to attack by himself. With the help of Paul's cover, he stepped back and shot a three-pointer. The basketball hit the net. 59:44, the difference between the two sides has reached an astonishing 15 points. The young Lakers led by [-] points. Before the game, absolutely no one would have thought that this scene would happen.

The current Han Ziqi only shoots when he has the skills to use, otherwise he will never attack personally. This kind of skills can ensure his efficiency and keep himself a threat to opponents on the field. So far in the first game, Han Ziqi has scored 8 points and 6 assists, playing quite well, but his sense of presence is very high. On the one hand, his two key three-pointers are impressive, on the other hand, Han Ziqi was completely blown up in the round facing Lillard. Whether it was positive or negative, Han Ziqi's sense of presence in this game was already off the charts.

In the third quarter, the Blazers' shooting percentage rebounded, but the Lakers' shooting percentage was also not low. Although the Blazers had tried their best to chase points, they were still behind at the end of the third quarter. Eleven points, they want to come back, they still have time to do it in the last quarter.
