Chapter 1031 A Young Marshal on His Way to Mature (Part [-])
In the opening game at the beginning of the season, the Clippers easily defeated the Trail Blazers at home and got a good start.

After that, the Clippers won three games in a row, winning four consecutive victories.

After losing to the Nuggets, the Clippers once again faced the Trail Blazers.

Although the Blazers star Roy is still unable to play due to injury, considering that it is in the Rose Garden Arena after all, it is not so easy for the Clippers to win a big victory like the opening game.

Therefore, Lan Shengli was very cautious in the locker room and in the final preparation stage.

"We must remember the victory of the opening game, but also forget the victory of the opening game~!!"

Lan Shengli said something that sounded contradictory.

"It means, we have to remember how we beat our opponents in the opening game, and of course we also have to forget that we once beat our opponents, so we can calm down and lower our position, so that we can~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"I understand~, I understand~!!"

The team members heard it and responded immediately.

There is no difference between the starting lineups of the two sides and the opening game.

The Clippers still have the "Five Tigers", and the Trail Blazers still have Miller and Matthews in the backcourt, Batum and Alder in the frontcourt, and Camby guarding the inside.

"Pioneer, come on~!!"

"Pioneer, come on~!!"

"Pioneer, come on~!!"

With the loud cheers from the Rose Garden Arena, the game started.

Perhaps it was a little underestimating Camby's reaction speed and bouncing speed. After the jump ball, Camby helped the Blazers jump to the ball here.

It is indeed quite unexpected that Jordan "lost" in the jump ball.

After Miller got the ball here, he didn't have any luck at all. He made a standard chest pass and gave it to Matthews.

Matthews got the ball and was already standing on the wing three-point line. Seeing that Harden's defense hadn't settled down, he directly shot a three-pointer~
"Swipe~!!!"

The sharp backspin made waves for the Nets.

Only 5 seconds after the opening, the Blazers took the lead first.

The Trail Blazers' first attack was as resolute as the last attack, which really caught the Clippers a little off guard.

"Papapa~!!, concentrate, the competition has already started, everyone concentrate~!!"

Lan Shengli clapped his hands, reminding the team members.

"Defense~!!"

"Defense~!!"

"Defense~!!"

Here, the Clippers haven't sent the bottom line, and the fans in the audience started to shout.

Here Harden dribbled the ball to half court.

"The pick-and-roll tactics try to play Camby as much as possible, because Camby can't defend, so we will have many offensive options, either shooting, or breaking through the ball. In short, we must be patient and must mobilize the opponent's defense. Get up~!!"

Harden thought about what Lan Shengli had reminded him in training before, and quickly made a pick-and-roll cooperation with Jordan.

Camby did not come out, but stood near the middle distance to prevent Jordan from going down after the pick-and-roll, and at the same time prevent Harden from suddenly accelerating his breakthrough.

I saw Harden dribbled towards Camby and broke through, and Jordan went down at the same time, and Camby fell into a one-defense-two situation.

This is very troublesome.

Harden made a pass fake, and after deceiving Camby's center of gravity, he made a layup~
But Camby's defensive ability is there, and he interferes with Harden while retreating.

The two quickly collided and fell to the ground one after another. Harden also threw the ball casually.

The ball thrown at random did not touch the basket at all, and flew directly to the other side of the basket.

Ade got the rebound, and the referee didn't whistle.

Neither Harden's dribbling foul nor Camby's blocking foul were called out.

The referee adopted a "cold treatment" approach.

In the first round of the game, the controversial penalty for the Clippers reappeared.

This time, Lan Shengli didn't roar immediately, nor did he immediately spread his hands to express helplessness, but just looked at the field with a solemn expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Perhaps after experiencing such a "bad" whistle-off in the last game, this kind of controversial whistle-off can indeed be tolerated~
Adelaide got the rebound and gave it to Miller, and Miller once again made a direct long pass to the frontcourt without dribbling.

The Blazers' desire for transition is evident.

This time it was Batum who got the ball.

Although Batum's three-pointer is not very stable, it may feel that he has found a step. Batum dribbled the ball twice, and he was still chasing directly when the Clippers' defensive players were not in place. Three-point shot~! !
"Clang~clang~, brush~!!"

The ball hit the net.

The Blazers made two three-pointers as soon as they came up, and they made long-range shots from the outside.

"It's not so good, it's really not easy to switch between offense and defense and play so resolutely, with such a high hit rate~"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"Dum~!!!"

Lan Shengli, who had an insight into the opponent's tactics, quickly called a timeout, and the game only lasted less than 2 minutes.

"Two things to emphasize~!!"

After a brief discussion with the teaching assistant team, Lan Shengli quickly talked to the players.

"First, today's referee's standard should be to encourage confrontation, so everyone should let go of the fight, don't have scruples, and when it's time to get on your body, get on your body~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Second, the opponent is very resolute in catching offensive and defensive transitions today, so we have to focus more on defending the opponent's transition. When the opponent gets a backcourt rebound, try not to let Miller catch the ball, because he is a transition for the Blazers. Engine~!!, Got it~!!"

Lan Shengli continued talking.

"The other thing is that we still have to play Camby on the offensive end. This point will definitely become our breakthrough~!!, and when encountering disputes and penalties, don't go to the game if the ball is not dead. Looking for the referee to complain blindly, we just need to focus on the game, don't let other factors affect us~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to exhort.

"After the lessons of the previous games, Lan Shengli now knows more and more how to face controversial penalties~~"

"Maybe this is an area of ​​improvement for the young coach, maybe this is the experience accumulated through the game~"

Listening to Lan Shengli's arrangement, Harper secretly sighed inwardly.

"Blindly complaining is meaningless. If we play well enough and have enough toughness, I believe that even if we encounter some controversial penalties, it will be harmless~!!, and I believe that basketball games will ultimately determine the outcome. It’s the players, not the referee~!”

Lan Shengli watched the players return to the field and thought to himself.

Being able to have such thoughts and self-confidence shows that the "Young Marshal" is really maturing.
