Chapter 448: Perfect Counterattack

The Trail Blazers are still in very good shape today, facing the team that eliminated themselves in the playoffs last season, the Trail Blazers and the Thunder's starting five Tigers played comparably, and it can even be said that they have a slight advantage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that what Ricard and Divac didn't expect was that the Trail Blazers would suffer on the second team. I thought that after losing Batum and Fischer, the Thunder's second team would be dwarfed. Can Bledsoe and Reggie. Jackson's extraordinary play was indeed beyond the range of Ricard and Divac's estimates.

In the second quarter, Rickard's goal was to keep his team from going into the second half with a disadvantage. Continuing to use Lillard to unleash onslaught and put pressure on the Thunder's guard line is the only way to keep this crazy group of guards at bay.

"Damien, you play at the beginning of the second quarter. I want you to play with the second team for a while, and your task is to tie the score for me! "Ricard didn't plan to let his start go back so quickly, but with an all-out bench line-up, the margin would certainly not be narrowed. So letting Lillard lead the second team and make him a temporary core is the way Ricard came up with it.

"Don't worry, boss, we're going to make the Thunder guys have a great time." Lillard's confident smile made Riccard not believe that this was only Lillard's second NBA game!

After the start of the second quarter, the Thunder also had four benches and one starter. Just Jeff. Van Gundy was not sent to start Westbrook, but Kevin, who looked inactive in the first quarter but actually played well. Durant.

Jeff. Van Gundy is confident at this point at small forward, and admittedly Nicholas. Batum is a good lad, but it is also true that he could only play Durant off the bench last season.

"Are you so relieved to let that kid take the lead?" Anjie was on the bench next to Ricard and Divac, and saw Reggie Brown on the bench. Jackson's menacing possession of the ball was pressed towards Lillard, and Angel couldn't help but ask.

"This is someone you handpicked, Ann. If he wants to be your right-hand man, he has to get through this! ”

With the foundation of the excellent performance in the first quarter, Reggie. Jackson, a two-way guard, is very confident. While this guy's draft pick is nowhere near as good as Lillard's sixth, let's not forget that creating miracles in the draft is exactly what Presti is all about.

Reggie. Jackson wasn't afraid of Lillard, because the guy in front of him didn't look as intimidating as Westbrook.

Almost the same height, Reggie. Jackson looked much more like Lillard. In this league, the advantage of physical fitness is becoming more and more important.

Reggie. Jackson was about to take advantage of his bigger weight when he found Lillard charging at him.

"What is he going to do!?" Inexperienced Reggie. Jackson was still thinking about Lillard's intention to rush towards him, but Lillard bowed his waist, sprinted, and quickly took out the basketball in Reggie's hand!

Reggie. Jackson likes to rush forward as much as Westbrook, but Westbrook's ability to protect the ball during the advance is something that Jackson does not have.

After the baptism of Westbrook in the first quarter of the game, Lillard is now dealing with Reggie. Jackson came in handy.

When Reggie saw that the basketball was taken away, he forcibly changed his center of gravity and turned around to chase back, but he slipped and fell on his feet. At the same time, Lillard walked away after the steal, and Bledsoe and Durant chased behind, but still couldn't get close to Lillard, who was fully speeded.

An Jie, who was sitting on the bench, seemed to have seen the lightning of the year in the Chesapeake Energy Arena again. But today, the man who became the lightning changed from Westbrook to Lillard.

As soon as Lillard stepped into the free-throw line with one foot, he jumped violently! With a height of 1.92 meters, he soared into the air like a UFO! After that, he lifted the ball with one hand, spread his legs slightly apart, and dunked the ball into the basket vigorously!

“Wow! It's amazing! "Everyone didn't expect that Lillard, who didn't seem to be physically strong, would have such a strong dunk ability. Almost all the commentators of the TV station held their heads with their hands, unable to believe what had just happened.

The dunk of the short player is always the most exciting, and unlike Anjie, who relies on strength to gain beauty, the dunk of the small player is completely terrifying in flight height. What's more, Lillard's dunk is also full of power!

Lillard landed without any expression or celebration, and he quickly ran back to his own half, ready to defend at any moment!

"Be calm, Reggie, it's them who should be in a hurry!" Bledsoe had to be in Reggie. Jackson reminded his teammates before he took control of the ball again. Although Bledsoe only played in the NBA for one more year than Jackson, Bledsoe, who played a lot of minutes, was better than Reggie. Jackson is much more sophisticated.

Reggie. Jackson nodded slightly, the steal just now really made him lose face. Lillard, this guy is very different from what he imagined!

Then the Thunder's offense was noticeably calmer. Jackson threw the ball to Bledsoe as soon as half-time. Bledsoe faces Contney. Li Shi always wanted to break through at his own speed, and he did succeed. But J.J. Hickson's halfway big attack allowed Bledsoe's breakthrough to fail. If there's one big man with the most athleticism on this Trail Blazers team right now, it's Hixon.

Durant was in a hurry to grit his teeth on the court, and it is true that all three guards of the Thunder are very aggressive. But when a team's main rotation guards are scorer-oriented, that group of guards suffers from their teammates. Now even Durant doesn't get much time on the ball, let alone others.

The game went back and forth for a few minutes, and Lillard's performance completely won over the Trail Blazers players. During this period of time, the Trail Blazers, with Lillard as the temporary core, are not at all inferior compared to the Thunder with Durant as the core.

Although Lillard couldn't finish the equalizer in the limited time, he still chased the deficit to just four points. If it weren't for Durant's consecutive shots in the last few minutes, Lillard might have led the team to overtake the score!

With the game going on for more than four minutes, Rickard was the first to call a timeout. When the game ended, the first quarter of the game played the magic of Reggie. Jackson is hanging his head, while Damien. Lillard, on the other hand, strutted with his head held high.

"Not bad." An Jie smiled and greeted his new partner.

"I'll leave it to you, four points, it's not difficult, right?" Lillard patted Anjie's thigh, this guy has begun to gradually integrate into the team!

"LaMarcus! There's a guy here who questions our abilities? Anjie listened, and shouted at Aldridge, who was three seats away.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go! Aldridge shook off the towel around his neck, Lillard completed his mission, and now it was time for him and Anjie to take over.

Since Lillard had just come off the court, Rickard didn't send him back up. Derek. Fischer served as the commander of the four starters, and it shouldn't be a problem for the experienced veteran "Old Fish" to control the start of this Trail Blazers team with excellent tactical cultivation.

Derek, who is already 38 years old. Fischer's biggest flaw is that he can't run under his feet, and this guy has to take his time both offensively and defensively.

But when Anjie and Aldridge are on the court, the Trail Blazers need a slow pace. Judging from the style of play of Anjie and Aldridge, Fischer is even better suited to the starting lineup than Lillard. If Fischer hadn't been too old, Rickard would have done it.

Although it was slow, Fischer's body was as strong as ever. He knew that as he got older, the decline in athleticism was inevitable. But the strong body is within Fischer's own control.

The bearded guy never let up on his physical training, so when Westbrook wanted to step up and make a tackle, Fischer was always able to cleverly hold him down.

At the same time, the Trail Blazers' offensive tactics have been fully rolled out. Wait for Andrey. Iguodala landed outside the three-point line on the wing, Fischer unhurriedly passed the ball, and Iguodala immediately received the ball and immediately turned the field inside with a quick ground-hitting pass.

Fischer was simply unable to pass the ball calmly under Westbrook's strong interference, while Iguodala was excellent but not capable of organising the attack. In order to minimize the possibility of mistakes, Ricard's solution was to use Fischer to organize the attack, and when the tactics were out, Iguodala would complete the pass.

Aldridge held the ball firmly against Ibaka, and the Thunder players knew that the real offense of the Trail Blazers was coming!

Aldridge knew he couldn't shake the established Ibaka, and the Congolese defence was as hard as a stone. But Aldridge is not in a hurry, and now this distance is already within his attack range. What's more, his teammates are still trying to find ways to support him.

Aldridge just stood in place with his back in the back, and didn't make any rash moves. Even so, Ibaka did not dare to relax. Aldridge is likely to shoot suddenly, and Ibaka learned enough of this guy's shooting skills in the playoffs last season.

Suddenly! Aldridge hooks up! It's also a bit of a mistake to say that the ball was a hook, because Aldridge had neither a frame nor a jump.

Ibaka subconsciously jumped up to block, only to find that it was not a shot, but a pass!

The basketball flew over Ibaka's head and flew from mid-range to the three-second zone. Anjie was standing in the three-second zone at the moment, and behind him was Morris, who was not leaving.

An Jie was in the three-second zone before receiving the ball, which means that An Jie had to shoot immediately after receiving the ball. Otherwise, he is likely to be whistled for a three-second offense.

With this layer of restrictions, Morris's defense is much easier. He only needs to jump and block the moment An Jie catches the ball to stop all this!

After An Jie received the ball from the basket side, he didn't turn around to face the frame, but kept this hook hand shot! Morris had a well-timed jump, but he forgot that his good brother was an old skater. An Jie struggled to lean towards Morris while hooking his hand, and An Jie changed direction in the air because of the fierce confrontation, but the hand holding the basketball did not change in the slightest.

An Jie landed, fell, and curled up to protect himself. The basketball fell, went into the net, and the referee's whistle sounded in time!

"Nice offense! Hit three points successfully! Ann's ball sense is really good, and in this situation, she can still hook the basketball in. ”

"you." Morris walked over and pulled Angel up with Aldridge, but his mouth was not very friendly.

"That's what you taught me, Maurice." An Jie walked to the free throw line, and with just one attack, he chased the difference by only one point!

After the Thunder's offense, Westbrook broke through the point and gave Ibaka a chance to dunk. However, what Ibaka didn't expect was that Anjie's second jump would be so fast! Anjie, who had just jumped up for Westbrook's breakaway, just landed and jumped up again and slapped the basketball away from Ibaka's hands.

Wesley on the defensive flank. Matthews just picked up the basketball, and last season, he only had to play honestly, but today, the Trail Blazers have a better option.

I saw a long pass from Matthews, and the basketball flew towards Iguodala, who had already rushed forward. Iguodala had already stepped into the free-throw line after receiving the ball, and behind him were Westbrook and Sephorosa, who were chasing after him.

Iguodala knew Westbrook's terrifying athleticism, and he took two steps inside with the ball and made a layup, only to sweep beyond the three-point line with his afterglow.

Iguodala suddenly threw the ball behind his head, and Derek. Fischer appeared where the basketball flew. At this time, the fastest players of the Thunder team rushed into the restricted area, and the slower players also entered the three-point line. Derek. What Fischer got was an open three-point opportunity!

Fischer's "shoulder cannon" shooting action has reappeared, and perhaps the 38-year-old has lost the edge of his 0.4-second kill. But how can an empty three-point opportunity be let go by the "big heart"?

The basketball hollowed into the net, and the Trail Blazers took advantage of the fast-break opportunity to score a three-pointer, turning a four-point deficit into a two-point lead in an instant!

After chasing the game for so long in the second quarter, it is finally overtaken now. But the Trail Blazers aren't going to stop there.
