Chapter 312 Playoff Melee
The Lakers, who have already had a big change, also taught the young team of the Blazers a good lesson, and after resolutely replacing a few players who interfered with the atmosphere in the locker room, the Lakers seem to have found their sense of victory again.

Now this Lakers team has clear responsibilities. Camby and Kaman take turns as starters for the opposing team respectively. Jiasao can return to her most comfortable high and low position to support and play back. When double-teamed, the offensive end can hold the ball and attack a few times, becoming a reliable third firepower point of the team, Fisher has become the team's starting fixed-point turret again, and Kobe has changed back to the free-wheeling Xiao Fei Xia, whether he is playing alone or organizing the team's offense, he can switch modes at will.

This kind of Kobe is the scariest. He can play his greatest threat. It’s not that the volute can’t pass the ball. It’s just that Kobe doesn’t want to pass the ball very much. Others can’t force him to make any changes. The pressure will only lead to greater resistance from him, but if you let him play by himself, Kobe will be different. Kobe will attack when you think he will pass the ball, but he will attack when you think Kobe will attack. Suddenly splitting the ball, this kind of spiritual Kobe is the nightmare of all teams, and if the Lakers equip him with a few more functional and single role players, then the grand plan of the Lakers to regain the dominance of the league will no longer be a mirror image flower.

It is another familiar 4:1, which is an extremely heavy blow to the Trail Blazers who are aiming to achieve results in the past few seasons. They selected Oden through the draft, selected Huang Mambaroy, and selected the extremely Aldridge, who looks like an all-star power forward, is based on these three young talents. They are also equipped with Rudy Fernandez, Redick, and Bartom. Experience and vitality, if it is the old-fashioned playoff experience, the experience of being swept by the Rockets 4:1 last year is believed to have allowed them to pay a good amount of tuition. Logically speaking, this year is the time for them to make big moves.

But who knows, it was another 4:1, and the one they won was the truce due to Kobe's food poisoning. When all the other Lakers were on the court, the Blazers lost about 15 points per game on average. A class of teams.

And in a series with the Lakers, all the problems of the Blazers were exposed.

Roy is indeed a star-level shooting guard, but in the matchup with the Black Mamba, the "mediocre" physical fitness of the Yellow Mamba is also revealed. Roy is a model of playing with his brain and rhythm. His Physical fitness can be called abnormal in front of ordinary people, but if you want to ask Roy from the perspective of a star player, his physical fitness is not enough.

The problem exposed by Aldridge is the lack of tough battle ability. Perhaps in the regular season or the first few minutes of the playoffs when the intensity is not very strong, Hey Ade can always play impressive performances. , turnaround jumper, and off-the-ball cuts are proficient in everything, but once it comes to the decisive moment of life and death, Aldridge's performance is too disappointing for the Portlanders.

ESPN has made statistics specifically. When the difference between the two teams did not exceed 5 points in the last 5 minutes of the game, Aldridge's shooting rate was less than 30%, and his turnovers were as high as 2.21 times. At critical moments, Aldridge did not dare to shoot. Even if the ball is in his hands, Aldridge doesn't think about how to express himself, but how to throw this hot potato, so how can he become the hero of the team at the last moment with the idea of ​​escaping? ?

As for Oden, the No. [-] pick in the league, a rookie who was considered by the media to be the pinnacle once he entered the league, and who could copy James' trajectory, after almost three seasons of baptism, he finally made it clear His overwhelmed nature.

The invincible insider body like a giant in college has no use in the NBA. Let alone Oden can match Yao Ming or Howard, even an ordinary blue-collar center with a little tonnage can't handle him. The backboards are often overwhelmed by others. The emperor who came to the NBA did not have the dominance he had in the NCAA period. Some people said that his serious injury in the first year ruined his terrible talent. This is true. It's not unreasonable, but for a player who hasn't practiced back footsteps, hook shots, mid-range and long-range shots, or even free throws after playing in the NBA for three consecutive years, I'm afraid he can't always use a sentence of injury to help him. failure as an excuse.

Which player has no injuries?However, some players become stronger as they get injured. How much athletic ability God has taken away from him, he uses his own sweat to make up for it, while some players are devastated. up.

Compared with most of the games in the west, which are simple and clear, the fighting in the east has become a stalemate.

In the last year of his contract in Cleveland, James played a phenomenal performance. The average performance of 32+14+8 per game can be said to have crushed all the performance of the players at this time, but the Cavaliers could not be as smooth as the great performance of the little emperor. , In the series against the Bulls, Rose played the best season of his career in the Windy City, who was nicknamed the "parallel importer" last year. All those who mocked him shut their mouths.

Rose's rookie season is not weak, but as the seventh overall pick, Totoro is too against the sky. He won the championship and FMVP in his rookie season, which made him play 20+3+5 in his rookie season. Ross was eclipsed.

But a superstar with potential will always be a superstar with potential, just like Jordan and Olajuwon back then. Some people would feel sorry for the leader not being the No. Not to mention the greatness of Totoro, but as long as he makes himself equally good, then he will naturally receive much less criticism in the future.

Cleveland Cavaliers 3:2 Chicago Bulls

Boston Celtics 3:2 Miami Heat

Orlando Magic 3:2 Toronto Raptors

Atlanta Hawks 3:2 Milwaukee Bucks
