At the beginning of the game, the Trail Blazers' side showed a strong desire to attack.

Last season's Finals were swept by the Wizards, which made Durant and other players feel defeated, and in the new season, they are all riveted and want revenge.

The Trail Blazers, from the owner to every bench player, know that the Trail Blazers are one of the best teams in the league in terms of talent and potential, and their biggest opponent is the Wizards, who have more talent and potential than them.

If you want to win a championship, you have to get past the Wizards.

After a summer of hard work, Durant is stronger than before.

In the face of Leonard's defense, he frequently hit mid-range shots and was extremely efficient.

However, his high scoring efficiency did not help the Trail Blazers dominate the court.

He wasn't the only one who used his summer vacation time to train hard.

"Clay. Thompson! Three-point hit! ”

As the basketball crossed a graceful arc in the air, and then lightly entered the net, the court resounded with passionate shouts of commentary.

At the beginning of the game, Curry's hand was not particularly good, but Thompson was bursting.

After a season of growth, under the best efforts of Wang Xiao's training system to cultivate at any cost, Thompson already has the shadow of the future pair of splash brothers in the Megatron Alliance.

Two consecutive off-ball runs to cut the basket successfully caused kills, and just hit a three-pointer from the outside, and before the halfway point of the first quarter, he scored 7 points, and the efficiency was not inferior to Durant.

Thompson has never been the Wizards' No. 1 scorer, and there are Curry and George above him.

Durant can tightly match Thompson's scoring efficiency, and how can the Trail Blazers hold down the Wizards in this situation?

At the end of the first quarter, the riveted Trail Blazers not only failed to take the lead, but fell behind by six points, and as the game entered the second quarter, Curry's side began to exert its power.

Thompson's excellent touch forced the Trail Blazers to divide more energy to defend, and in this case, the gap available to Curry would become very large, especially in the second quarter of the game, when the Wizards' center Whiteside was replaced, and it became Drummond who replaced him as the center. Green.

When Green stood at the top of the three-point line with the ball and began to command the tactical run in a pretended manner, Jordan Jr. was a little confused.

He's been playing in the league for a while, but this is the first time he's faced an opponent like this.

Who's forward doesn't run to the baseline to grab rebounds, but instead stands on the outside and pretends to be Magic Johnson?

After thinking about it, Jordan Jr. did not completely prevent it, but stood on the left and right of the free throw line, and looked like you can shoot three points if you have the ability.

Of course, Green won't shoot three-pointers, and Wang Xiao won't allow him to shoot three-pointers, this guy's three-point shooting rate is not as good as Yi Jianlian's.

At this time, Curry, who was in the baseline position, had already started to act, he slipped around the baseline for a lap, and then rushed out of the line to receive the basketball from Green's hand.

When passing the ball to Curry, Green immediately turned sideways and pushed Louis Brown, who was closely behind Curry. Williams stood in the way.

At this time, Jordan Jr. was still at the free throw line, Williams was blocked by Green, and Curry ran out of a completely open space!

When will you not vote at this time?

"Huh!"

Curry's high three-point shooting percentage when he is open is scary.

On the sidelines, Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Be reasonable, Drummond. Although Green is a highly controversial player, and his true strength has been criticized, and he is always considered to be useless without the Warriors system, such a player does play a considerable role in the small-ball lineup.

Just like the way of playing with the ball in the top arc just now, the feasibility of other centers to operate like this is far less than Green's, first of all, they don't have the mobility of Green, and secondly, there are few centers who have Green's vision and big picture.

Green doesn't just have Curry in the running position, when he is standing on the top arc, he can also pass the ball as soon as there is an open space for players in other positions.

For that alone, he's a better fit than a traditional centre-forward.

Of course, Green also has certain disadvantages as a center forward, for example, although his frame protection ability is very good, it is still too much worse than a tall and strong center, especially the height of 2.01 meters determines that no matter how good his defense is, he is still at a disadvantage in the face of a center with a height of more than 2.10 meters.

It's just now, Green's tactics as a center have only appeared for the first time in the entire league, and the vast majority of teams are still very unfamiliar with the real Death Five tactics, just like the current Trail Blazers, who are completely overwhelmed.

In the finals last season, the Wizards swept the Trail Blazers and relied on shark-cutting tactics to target Jordan Jr., but this season it is completely unnecessary.

If the Trail Blazers had a center who was proficient in interior offense, they would obviously be a fish in water, but a blue-collar defensive center like Jordan Jr. would be completely useless in the face of the Death Five.

No matter how good you are, you can't extend your defense beyond the three-point line.

The Death Five's ultra-high mobility and range are something that Jordan Jr. can't adapt to.

In the second quarter, the margin was extended to double digits, and when the bench lineup came on, the Trail Blazers were still as inferior as ever.

Jamison & Caron. Butler is a year older and athletic, but at the same time, Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons, Thomas Jr. and others have grown up for another season, although these people don't have enough playing time to hone and grow, but Wang Xiao's training system module is not vegetarian, and the growth speed of the three Wang Xiao has always seen in his eyes, which is definitely faster than another time and space.

The three-led bench lineup is by no means something the Trail Blazers can compete with.

In only three quarters of the game, the game completely lost its suspense, when the difference expanded to more than 25 points, Wang Xiao took the lead in replacing the main force, Curry, Thompson, George and Leonard all went to rest, and the Wizards' lineup became Thomas Jr., Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons, Drummond. Green & Whiteside.

What makes the Trail Blazers deeply ashamed is that this almost pure bench lineup, the main force of the Trail Blazers can't have the absolute upper hand, Durant, Aldridge and Jordan Jr. are all on the court, but they can't quickly chase the score, and it took a full 5 minutes to chase the score from 25 points back to 18 points.

Eventually, the Trail Blazers gave up resistance and replaced their entire main force.

No one expected that the first meeting between the two teams that met in the finals last season would end in such a result in the new season.

At the end of the game, Durant scored a game-high 36 points, but he couldn't lead the team to victory, almost the same as last season's Finals.
