The Trail Blazers took advantage of the geographical advantage of the home court, and directly started the game with a wave of 8-0 small climax, beating the stunned Lakers who were visiting Portland, forcing the Lakers to ask for a timeout. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And for the Lakers, that's not the worst news.

What they don't want to see the most is that Yi Feng's feel is extremely different!

Not to mention the rare penalty missed the ball, it was a few minutes into the game, and only 1 point was scored!

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant was old and strong and stood up at a critical moment.

He hit a three-pointer that broke the deadlock and eased the Lakers' dire situation.

But the Trail Blazers were unforgiving, firing on fire as soon as they came up, and pulling away the score at every opportunity, and the Lakers' situation was getting worse and worse.

Especially when Lillard handed the ball and played off the ball himself, the Trail Blazers became more difficult to defend.

Because Lillard, who was off the ball, inspired CJ McCollum.

McCollum hit a mid-range shot near the free throw line and then went inside to draw a defensive foul on Hibbert and hit two of the free throws. In the end, he also stole Clarkson's pass, played two against Lillard in the frontcourt, and made an easy layup!

McCollum, who scored 6 points in a row, not only rewrote the score to 4:14 on the court, but also expanded the difference to 10 points for the first time, and forced Scott to call a timeout!

Hibbert was really annoyed at this time, even in the Moda Center Arena, no matter how high the emotions of the home team's fans were, no matter how enthusiastic the cheers were, they couldn't stop his angry roar.

The Lakers will be reprimanded severely!

In particular, Clarkson, who behaved a little erratically during this time, bore the brunt of Scott's anger.

He first failed to single Lillard, and then was broken through many times, and finally made a mistake in the pass, directly giving the opponent a fast break opportunity!

After being scolded by the coach, Clarkson became much more cautious, and after taking the ball across the half court, the ball in his hand was like a hot potato, and it was thrown directly to the boss Kobe.

Bryant then turned the ball to Yi Feng and let the young man charge.

Yi Feng went to the basket again, found that there was no good chance, and divided the ball in time.

After many breaks, the Trail Blazers' defense finally leaked everywhere, Kobe Bryant cut to the basket, received Yi Feng's wonderful pass, and made an easy layup.

At 6:14, the Lakers played the role of chasing points again.

Offensive and defensive transitions.

After Lillard played without the ball for a while, he actually changed to an offensive mode with the ball.

The speed of this switch made the Lakers a little unresponsive.

Clarkson was passed by him in one step, but fortunately, the Lakers were in a hurry inside, but it was a blessing in disguise, Lillard did not attack the basket directly, but distributed the ball.

However, Lillard switched from off-ball to possession, so that his teammates did not react, and after he passed the ball, his teammates did not catch it and flew out of bounds.

The Lakers picked up an offensive opportunity for nothing.

After Yi Feng broke through to the inside, he used the extremely narrow passing space to give the ball to Randle, who easily put the basket and scored, and the Lakers did not waste this offensive opportunity.

At 8:14, the Trail Blazers, who still had the lead in their hands, were not in a hurry, and Lillard didn't care too much about his passing mistakes, and continued to use the breakaway ball to create opportunities for his teammates.

Throughout the first quarter, when Lillard was on the court, he used this offensive mode the most, but the Lakers did not dare to relax a little. Because he will occasionally attack the basket by surprise, let the Lakers know that he still has good finishing ability.

On the Lakers' side, Yi Feng took the initiative to give up a lot of opportunities because of the delay in recovering his hand, and like Lillard, he chose to break through the ball more and create opportunities for his teammates.

The last time the two sides competed at the Staples Center Arena, what was impressive was the battle between Yi Feng and Lillard; And this time in the matchup, Yi Feng seems to be on the bar with Lillard again, and the two have boosted each other's assists!

Lillard had 7 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, while Yi Feng had 4 points and 4 assists, almost setting a new single-quarter assist record for himself.

The Trail Blazers had the home court advantage, so the Lakers never turned over, and at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers still trailed the Trail Blazers by as many as six points at 28:34.

At 8 minutes and 17 seconds into the second quarter, Yi Feng was re-introduced. He was joined by many of the Lakers' main players.

Lakers offense.

At this time, the score was 38:43, and the Lakers' bench lineup narrowed the gap by one point.

Yi Feng broke through and tried to split the ball again, but found that the Trail Blazers had guarded against his passing route. It seems that he has a bad hand tonight, and the other party has seen it.

He shot 1-of-5 from the field and 3-of-6 from the free-throw line in the first quarter, scoring a total of 4 points, and if Terry Stotts wasn't blind, he would definitely be able to see that Yi Feng didn't feel good.

And Yi Feng's feel is not ordinarily bad, he has always been known for his high scoring efficiency, but today's shooting rate makes him completely inefficient on weekdays.

The last time out he beat the Lakers at Staples Center, Stotts won his 97th regular-season game since coming to the Trail Blazers. And he's been coaching the Trail Blazers for three years.

That said, Stotts averaged just 30 wins per season, which seems like a bit less. And in the past three years, he has only won the Coach of the Month award once.

Coupled with a 6-10 record this season, Stotts doesn't look like a very capable coach by any means. Now the industry's evaluation of him is not as high as Scott's.

The team's record is the best business card of the head coach. Apparently Scott outscored Stotts in this regard.

But in many cases, a few simple numbers don't tell the whole story. Stotts, who used to be a scout, has a sharp eye that cannot be reflected in the data.

Seeing Yi Feng's performance in the first quarter, Stotts boldly guessed that Yi Feng's hand was extremely poor, and arranged for his disciples to focus more defensive attention on his passing route.

And for Yi Feng's shooting, Stotts specifically instructed McCollum to interfere casually and never give him a chance to make a foul.

So as soon as the second quarter came up, Yi Feng found that McCollum's defensive strategy made his breakthrough more difficult.

And after stopping the ball, Yi Feng didn't find a good passing opportunity.

Handling the ball himself, shooting feints but not fooling McCollum.

This time it was embarrassing, Yi Feng saw that there was little time left for the offense, so he tried to shoot, but the feeling was still not there, and the basketball popped out of the frame.

This made McCollum more comfortable and bold to defend his breakthroughs and passes.

The Trail Blazers' targeted defense made Yi Feng's breakthrough useless. Fortunately, Yi Feng is not a brainless, one way to the black, after seeing the Trail Blazers' defense change, he no longer holds the ball, but switches to no-ball mode.

Yi Feng didn't hold the ball anymore, and Kobe Bryant had no choice but to come by himself.

During the period when Yi Feng scored suddenly, Kobe Bryant took Aminu to circle outside the three-point line, and the physical consumption was quite small.

Although Amino's advantage in height and arm length almost covered Kobe, who is the boss, how could he be prevented from death so easily.

The sudden dry pull after the tentative step, the layup after turning back and cutting into the basket, and the sudden cold arrow outside the three-point line, in three rounds, Kobe Bryant hit consecutive shots and scored 7 points, helping the team close the score at 45:48.

However, he was still old after all, and after scoring 7 points in a row, he struck two iron in a row, announcing that his brief outburst was over.

The Trail Blazers took the opportunity to open up again, and at 45:51, their lead came to six points.

Scott called a timeout, and he had to try to change his tactics to get the team out of his current predicament.

After the timeout, the Lakers' offense, with increased passing, and off-ball cuts, except for the ball handler, the other four were moving, and it looked a little messy.

However, it worked well, and while the Trail Blazers had not yet adapted to their changes, the Lakers took the opportunity to score 4 points. All four of those points came from a layup after cutting to the basket.

But fortunately, Lillard hit a three-pointer during this period and didn't let the Lakers chase the score closer.

Stotts shouted at his disciples from the sidelines, "Watch your people!" Use your fastest speed to complete the change!! ”

The Lakers' increase in the number of cuts without the ball is due to the layers of cover, in addition to the fact that the players are actively running.

The Trail Blazers players encountered cover and did not quickly form a change of defense for a while, which gave the Lakers players a chance to get rid of the defender.

But with Stotts' reminder, it became much more difficult for the Lakers to cut in without the ball. Two consecutive offenses failed to succeed, and they failed to block the Trail Blazers' offense, and the point difference was opened up again.

At 49:58, the Lakers trailed by nine points.

Scott made a bold change, perhaps because the win over the Warriors a few days ago made him feel a lot more confident.

He swapped Kobe Bryant, put Yi Feng at the No. 3 position, and put Nick Young at the No. 2 position against McCollum.

And Scott also used those tactics designed for Yi Feng to Nick Young, and he simply used him as Yi Feng. And Yi Feng, who moved to the No. 3 position, played the role of Kobe Bryant and became an organizational forward.

I didn't expect Scott's change of formation to really have an effect.

Nick Young is in a hot hand today, Yi Feng has been feeding him the ball, and he has always been able to throw the ball into the basket. Even if McCollum had his hands in his eyes, he would still be able to shoot the ball in!

Thanks to Nick Young's sudden surge, the Lakers took the lead for the first time of the game in the last two minutes of the second quarter and maintained the lead until the end of the first half.

At 66:63, the Lakers led by 3 points, and the two sides ended the first half of the battle.

Nick Young came up in the second quarter and scored 13 points on 3-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 on two-pointers, while Yi Feng earned three assists on him.

With two assists passed to the rest of his teammates, Yi Feng scored five assists in the second quarter, setting a new record for assists in a single quarter. A total of nine assists were transmitted in the first half, which is also his personal record for assists in the first half.

In the entire first half, Yi Feng didn't score double-doubles, 4 points in the first quarter, 5 points in the second quarter, and only 9 points in the first half combined.

After the end of the first half, the Moda Centre Arena continued to perform at halftime as usual. One of the most eye-catching is the home team's mascot, the Flame Cat's slam dunk.

The Trail Blazers' home fans spent halftime in a joyous atmosphere, and also let them forget about the home team's backwardness for a while.

Time passed quickly, and the second half began.

Scott actually "boldly" directly included Nick Young in the starting list for the second half! And Yi Feng was the No. 3 starting position, and Kobe Bryant unexpectedly sat on the cold bench.

However, he didn't care, and most of the credit for the team's lead on the road was Nick Young, and it wasn't a big deal to start him in the second half.

Nick Young lived up to Scott's weight and continued his madness in the third quarter.

Although his shooting rate is no longer 100 percent under the strict defense of the Trail Blazers, the shooting rate of 5 of 9 shots and 2 of 4 three-pointers in the third quarter is enough for the Trail Blazers to drink.

There is an explosive Nick Young, a weapon for assisting, and Yi Feng took the opportunity to brush it up.

Add a brilliant pass to Randle, a ground-hitting pass to Clarkson, and a stunning no-look pass to Hibbert, and Yi Feng got 7 assists in the third quarter!

In the third quarter, 16 assists were transmitted, and Yi Feng looked like an assister. From a scoring maniac to an assist master, the transformation is so fast that the Trail Blazers fans have not reacted!

The Lakers played so well, and it was reasonable to take the lead.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 5 points at 93-88.

The two sides entered the fourth quarter of the battle.

originally wanted to brush up the number of assists to 20 in one go, but Nick Young suddenly lost his majesty at this time, and several consecutive irons shattered Yi Feng's dream.

Seeing that the Trail Blazers were about to overtake, Scott replaced Nick Young, who dropped the chain at a critical moment, and let the boss Kobe Bryant come back.

The boss deserves to be the boss, and after enough rest, he played a great role in stabilizing the morale of the army as soon as he came up. Two back-to-back jumpers were thrown into the basket in a row, stabilizing the Lakers' position.

Especially in the second ball, facing Aminu, after turning and jumping, it had come to a negative angle, but such a difficult shot was still thrown into the basket by Kobe.

Perhaps it was Kobe's power that aroused Lillard's competitive spirit, and in the face of Clarkson's defense, he shot two three-pointers directly outside the three-point line, such an unreasonable offensive choice, and actually hit both!

While Yi Feng admired it in his heart, he also thought that Lillard's **** luck had ended here. But I didn't expect Lillard to hit another three-pointer next!

It's really blind!

Hit two unreasonable three-pointers in succession, which made Lillard a little high, and this time he fired directly two steps outside the three-point line!

If it weren't for the fact that he has played iron a lot of times, this three-point ability can simply compete with Curry!

After Lillard hit three three-pointers in a row, he finally tied the score at 101:101, and the two sides returned to the same running line. (To be continued.) )
