Chapter 231: Raven's Outstanding Play
In the opening three minutes, the drama of Sanying vs. Lu Bu made people watch it excitingly. In addition, today is a national live broadcast, which is also on the appetite of fans. The atmosphere of all the fans was up, and the atmosphere was very lively.
But, as it were, the show has only just begun.
The Trail Blazers don't have just one Lublillard, they also have a McCollum as a backcourt duo.
McCollum grew rapidly after Matthews left, successfully filling the hole in the Trail Blazers' failed operations. McCollum also went smoothly and got the ideal big contract with the Trail Blazers.
McCollum has a natural sense of the game, which is not something that can be achieved by playing experience alone, but more by talent.
He's playing at such a young age, and he doesn't jump easily, but he always finds an opportunity to throw the ball and he can score.
In the last game, Lillard played so badly that the Trail Blazers were able to win because of McCollum's performance.
At this time, McCollum suddenly ran out to receive a pass from Turner, no speed and no height, McCollum leaned against LaVine, his strength was very clever, and he used his weight to suppress LaVine.
Ravan couldn't jump even if he wanted to.
The meaning is obvious, if I don't jump, don't jump either. Everyone doesn't jump, if you have the ability, you can cover me.
And just when LaVine was depressed, McCollum was unknowingly close to the basket. Suddenly, the guy made a force and jumped, although the height was not high, but he leaned on Raven. Ravan couldn't jump even if he wanted to.
Ravan was a little annoyed, and this feeling of grievance drove Ravan crazy.
Ravin snapped up and jumped. But as soon as his strength was fired, McCollum, who was attached to him, was lifted heavily.
McCollum's body center of gravity dropped, and he suddenly threw the ball into the air and fouled. LaVine was fouled on the defense. McCollum made two free throws.
At the same time, LaVine's attack did not score.
Lillard took over the offense again, and his style of play was even more unreasonable. It doesn't matter if there is anyone in front of you or not. As soon as he accelerated, Lillard was short and accelerated very quickly. Zhao Wei slowed down.
Lillard pulled it up and shot, and the ball was accurate again into the basket.
Three three-pointers in the opening game. Thirteen points.
Zhao Wei: They were a little stunned. And at this time, there was a man on the Lakers' side who stepped up. He is the LaVine who has been playing unrelentingly before.
LaVine receives a pass from Zhao Wei.
LaVine dribbles through from the right side. One step ahead, McCollum didn't follow.
LaVine made a mid-range shot.
After hitting the shot, LaVine, who had been dull, finally had a smile on his face, and he hit both shots in the opening game, and LaVine regained the confidence to shoot.
The offense is on, and the defense naturally can't be pulled down.
McCollum catches the ball, and LaVine is suddenly in a physical state. McCollum wanted to rely on LaVine, and he relied on an empty one. Instead of leaning in, he shook McCollum himself. The rhythm was lost, and LaVine suddenly took a step and clinged to McCollum.
McCollum was preempted by LaVine. No matter how much he changed the pace, it was difficult to shake off Lavin.
Towards the end of the day, McCollum missed the shot in a hurry.
The ball did not score, and Zhao Wei organized a counterattack very quickly. Lavin, however, was faster.
Zhao Wei has not yet reached the frontcourt, and LaVine has reached forty-five degrees.
Zhao Wei saw that LaVine wanted the ball and immediately gave it to him. LaVine dribbled two steps and suddenly shot a three-pointer. The ball goes in again.
The Trail Blazers had already taken a five-point lead, but LaVine had two attacks on both ends of the floor to bring the score back to the same line.
Turner broke through Ingram and gave a shot to Plumlee under the basket.
The ball was already under the basket, and Porzingis was blocked by Plumlee. Seeing that Plumlee can easily score the ball as long as he doesn't wave. But Plumlee made a move, but with a higher hand.
Frightened, Plumlee suddenly raised the arc the moment he shot. The ball came out of the frame. And Laven just landed and jumped again. Passing over the palms of everyone, he scooped the ball into his arms.
LaVine's ability to jump in a row is too strong. Zhao Wei sighed to himself when he saw such a bounce.
Just when everyone thought that the Lakers were going to lose power again as before, and the Trail Blazers were in a wave. Ravan stepped forward. And Lavin's performance isn't over yet. This is just the beginning.
Zhao Wei also knew that Laven had been uncomfortable recently, and his brother was happy, and he was also happy to be a foil. LaVine glanced at Zhao Wei after getting the rebound. Zhao Wei shook his head slightly.
LaVine took the ball and pushed straight up front, facing McCollum's defense. LaVine is not good at defending McCollum, and McCollum is also difficult at defending LaVine because LaVine's bounce is so good.
LaVine rushed over, changed direction to his left hand, and suddenly jumped to shoot. McCollum tried to jump, but he could barely reach LaVine's elbow a little higher.
LaVine actually shot another three-pointer, and the three-point shot has always been an area for LaVine to improve. In the previous games, LaVine's three-point shooting percentage can only be described as dismal, but this is the second time he has made a three-point shot in this game. The arc of the ball was not high, but the ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced steadily into the basket.
Three points and then go in. LaVine also scored 10 points, and this goal also helped the team to overtake the score.
When it comes to being stunned, it has become the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers have calculated everything, even if the Lakers have won four games in a row before, the Trail Blazers will not think that the Lakers have really changed anything, and it is not a short time for a team to improve. How many teams are mired in rebuilding.
And LaVine, the person who was most ignored by the Trail Blazers. Because LaVine's performance in the previous games has been nothing short of rubbish. Therefore, the Trail Blazers have developed a very clear tactic, which is to let LaVine go and shoot whatever he wants. Anyway, he couldn't shoot, but today LaVine turned out to be four shots and four hits, but it was another guard who was the focus of the Trail Blazers' research, Zhao Wei. So far, nothing has been done except to shoot zero. is not so much a player, it is better to say that Zhao Wei is more like a spectator and an invisible person on the field.
LaVine's strong performance completely disrupted the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy, and the Trail Blazers didn't know if they should come up when LaVine received the ball.
Things are always going to be in a loop, McCollum is a little depressed on the defensive end, and it's hard to be nervous on the offensive end. Turner breaks through to the bottom corner of McCollum.
McCollum, who was unattended in front of him, raised his hand and was about to throw a three-pointer, but as soon as the ball left his hand, he saw LaVine fly from the side, his arm raised high, and his fingers just grazed the basketball. The ball didn't reach the basket and fell into Porzingis' hands.
Porzingis handed it to Lavin. LaVine dribbles with his left hand and hits the basket. McCollum suffered from his speed and was stuck behind LaVine.
Plumlee had to come over to help defend, but LaVine's physical fitness was too good, everyone was in Plumlee's arms, and LaVine was strong, although he didn't score, but it caused Plumlee's foul.
And Lavin's canon is clearly not the end of it.
After the Trail Blazers missed again, LaVine went around to receive the ball, this time a crossover, and LaVine walked to the right to the free-throw line.
This time, however, LaVine didn't shake McCollum off.
McCollum stood right in front of LaVine, and LaVine didn't hesitate to stare at McCollum and shoot. This ball is too hard. Everybody thinks so.
But just before people's thoughts were over, an incredible scene happened in Lavin's body that had just taken off.
His body drifted backwards out of thin air. Everyone rubbed their eyes in shock, trying to see if what was happening in front of them was real.
But after wiping his eyes, he found that Laven had indeed moved backwards. Slow motion shows that LaVine added a backward force when he took off, but LaVine's bounce speed was too fast, causing the force he sent out to have no effect, and he was already flying, so there was a scene of backward movement in the air.
McCollum is going crazy, how to defend such a shot, you can obviously block the opponent's shot, but the opponent is displaced in front of you. Is this something that humans can do!
And when there were six seconds left in the first quarter, it was LaVine again, who received the ball in the backcourt, and LaVine rode directly into the dust and entered the interior of the Trail Blazers. Pull-up jump shot, whistle hit.
LaVine's performance in the first quarter was perfect, and the team smoothly took advantage of LaVine's performance to lead the Trail Blazers.
LaVine scored 16 points, and the Lakers also led the Trail Blazers by 10 points.
"Hey, how's it going?" Zhao Wei looked at Laven and asked with a smile.
"It's cool, I feel like I'm going to get 40 points tonight." Ravan replied with a big sip on his drink.
"Then I'm going to congratulate you in advance." Zhao Wei laughed, and the others heard Lavin's goal, and they also came over happily to congratulate, and the atmosphere of the team was peaceful.
It's peaceful on the Lakers' side, and it's a little cloudy on the Trail Blazers' side. In their opinion, such a game must have set the tone for this game in the first quarter. The second half of the regular season is about to begin, and they will have to sacrifice the flag for their next game with a slaughter.
However, they were given a 10-point lead in the first quarter, and they were beaten so badly by one person.
Before the break in the second quarter could change the mood of both sides, the game began again.
In the first attack of the opening game, it was Turner who took the lead in attacking. But Turner's offense after coming to the Trail Blazers wasn't as strong as it was with the Celtics.
The ball didn't score, Zhao Wei's rebound. Zhao Wei got the rebound, didn't dribble, and threw a long pass directly to the frontcourt.
By the time the Trail Blazers turned around, LaVine was already running in the front court.
After receiving the ball, LaVine took off, jumped with both feet at the same time, pulled the ball behind his head with both arms, and flew like this. And everyone saw that after LaVine flew up, there was a very obvious stagnation in the air, and then dunked the ball into the basket.
LaVine's offense is more exciting than the other, and each is more difficult than the other. The Trail Blazers were a little helpless against LaVine like this. Defensively, he can easily break through the inside line. Put a little, and he will vote. The most important thing is that he can still throw.
By the beginning of the second quarter, LaVine had already scored 18 points.
But at this moment, a delicate thing happened.
The more Raven fought, the more courageous he became.
Lillard missed a three-pointer and the long rebound was caught by LaVine again. LaVine, who got the ball, knew that Zhao Wei didn't want the ball either, so he directly launched a fast attack. McCollum was still in the bottom corner because of the switch.
It's impossible for McCollum to chase LaVine. He and Laven can only fight for speed, and the distance is getting bigger and bigger.
However, there is a Lillard at the top of the arc at this point.
Lillard's game is not to mention how depressed he is. Since he entered the NBA, the national broadcast day can be described as Lillard's lucky day. Every time he has to play well. Naturally, the same is true today, Lillard scored eleven points strongly in the opening game, but he actually became handsome for only three seconds. The things in his fantasy were taken away by Laven.
Eleven points later, although there were occasional scores, but now everyone's eyes were on Lavin, who could still notice him.
Lillard immediately chased after him.
Lillard is much faster than McCollum. The two rushed forward at a fast pace, and even fought a tie.
Although both of them were fast in the competition, they were restrained by each other and did not run faster than when one person was running, so McCollum, who was the slowest of the three, became the first to arrive.
McCollum rushed into the three-second zone and got in front of LaVine.
At this time, Laven could naturally see that someone in front of him was blocking the breakthrough route, but he couldn't stop at such a fast speed. Mistakes or punches, undoubtedly the latter.
LaVine rushed forward to meet him, but McCollum was standing solid, and he didn't even dodge until LaVine hit him.
Shout!!!
The referee's whistle sounded, and without any hesitation, the referee gave LaVine an offensive foul.
LaVine was a little angry and ran over to reason with the referee.
"Referee, it's a blocking foul. I started first, so he stood there. ”
"No, it's an offensive foul." The referee resolutely insisted on his decision.
……
By this time, the Trail Blazers were already twelve points behind the Lakers.
It was just an ordinary foul, but the Trail Blazers immediately called a timeout, and the second quarter of the game had just begun. Calling a timeout so early, and with the improvement on the team's side, everyone was very confused. I wonder if the Trailblazers have a fever and burned out their brains. Doesn't this weaken your own momentum! But people are just willful.
"Hey, it's fine." Porzingis grabbed the depressed Laven and comforted, "It's just a mistake." Your performance in this game is simply MVP-level. ”
"Really?" Ravan asked with a smile.
"Of course, keep fighting. I'll pass the ball to you. Porzingis laughed. Porzingis hasn't played much in this game so far and has been playing for LaVine. (To be continued.) )
