Chapter 199: Unscientific Leads (100,000 Recommended Votes Plus Update)
The game on the field continues......
Although Richard has laid out a detailed defensive strategy, because of Stockton's top backcourt engine, he can always find holes in the Trail Blazers' defense and use it to help his teammates score.
The Jazz led the score.
By the end of the first quarter, the Jazz had an eight-point lead!
"Guys, let's change our strategy next and let Lao Sa on the inside line take the lead!" Because in the first quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers' outside accuracy was not very good......
So Richard prepared for the second quarter of the game to let Sabonis use this advantage point to attack.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Trail Blazers were able to bite the margin and didn't let it expand further into double digits.
But by the time the second quarter was about to end, Lao Sa's physical fitness couldn't keep up......
This made Richard a little helpless, and there was no way but to let Xiao Ao replace Lao Sa, and now Xiao Ao will definitely not be able to become the main attack point of the team.
The difference on the field was further widened......
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Trail Blazers' first game of the Western Conference Finals ended in defeat, losing by 17 points in the game, which can be called a big defeat!
Stockton, the backcourt engine of the Jazz, slashed 17 assists in this game, with 14 points, 17 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is simply frighteningly low......
With 17 assists, there were only two turnovers, which completely demonstrated the extraordinary organizational ability of this top controller!
And Postman Malone's performance in this game was not very rebellious, and his 21-point score was not much compared to him, the top star in the league......
But considering that Malone only has 21 points in the account, their Jazz can beat the Trail Blazers by 17 points, such a Jazz is really terrifying!
Hornacek threw in five three-pointers and shot 5-of-9 from three-point range to score 27 points on his own.
Small forward Brian Russell also hit three three-pointers and scored 21 points in the game!
The offensive points are all blooming, and it can be said that the Trail Blazers did not lose this game at all......
The Trail Blazers didn't feel good in this game, and the outside line was inaccurate, which caused them to fall behind by a large margin of points, but in terms of tactical execution, they have done a good job.
If the outside line feels good, then even if you lose, you won't lose so badly.
Richard is naturally well aware of this, so he will not criticize the players because of the quality of this game.
……
Trail Blazers fans watched their home team lose on live TV, and although they were uncomfortable, they were also well aware of the gap between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz, the Western Conference hegemon......
If the Trail Blazers beat the Jazz in their first game on the home court of the devils, it would be incredible.
……
In the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, the Jazz players were quite regular, and there was no situation of elbows and black feet, mainly because they had been leading, and they really couldn't find a reason to use these indiscriminate tricks......
In the case of a lead, and a large lead, wouldn't it be funny to use these tricks in case stealing chickens doesn't make a mistake.
On the Trailblazers' side, they have always been the type of passive counterattack, as long as the opponent is honest, the Pioneers are not very good at causing trouble......
So this first battle was quite peaceful, although there was some friction on the field, but it has not risen to the point of hands.
Even Rashid didn't get a technical foul in this game, so you can imagine how calm this game was......
……
G2 was on May 6, and before the game began, Richard received another call from Olhi.
It was still China preparing to broadcast the G2 of the Western Conference Finals, and Orshi called to let him know......
The last domestic live broadcast of the Lakers Trailblazers life and death game, the ratings were quite good, and the Chinese people were attracted by this kind of high-intensity physical confrontation sports.
Especially Richard, the Chinese coach, was even more admired by the Chinese people under the introduction of the commentary......
Richard's resume is extremely glamorous, and the commentator must have gotten Richard's information from the official before commenting on the game.
Such a young Chinese naturally won the favor of the Chinese people......
In addition to Richard, O'Neill also sucked a wave of big fans in China, Chinese people like tragic heroes, when they saw O'Neal's performance in this game was so outstanding, but in the end he still lost the game, the Chinese people sympathized......
After the above research, it was decided to broadcast the Trail Blazers' game live and see how the reaction will be.
……
Stern is now very happy, what he has worked hard for eight years, he is about to succeed, and when he wins CCTV, is it still far from completely opening up the Chinese market......
In this era, CCTV is the first brother in China, especially in terms of live sports, CCTV is even in a monopoly position in China, as long as CCTV regularly broadcasts NBA games, there is no possibility that it cannot open the Chinese market!
……
This G2 Richard did not change his strategy, even if he was defeated by the Jazz in the first game......
At present, there is no problem with the defensive strategy and offensive strategy that Richard and the coaching staff have come up with, the problem is the strength of the players, if the Jazz players do not play normally, or the Trail Blazers can play extraordinarily, then there is still hope of winning the Jazz.
"Rashid, you did a good job in the last game, you didn't get a technical foul, keep up the good work in this game!"
"Kobe, I need you to play this game, to provoke Stockton as much as possible, I don't care what method you use, just provoke him, an angry master is much easier to deal with than a calm master control!"
"Robinson, be decisive, be decisive, we need your three points to open up the situation!"
"Ben, keep an eye on it, protect some brothers!"
Before the debut, Richard told the players some precautions one by one......
The generals nodded and waited for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.
Richard's luck in this game is quite good, the outside line of the Trail Blazers is very accurate, whether it is Robinson, Rashid who started or the old Curry and Bowen who came off the bench, they all feel good, and they can be regarded as extraordinary!
On the Jazz side, Russell's hand was not good, and he only made one mid-range shot in the half game, and then he didn't score again!
In this case, the Trail Blazers actually got a 5-point advantage at the end of the first half!
This game was obviously not expected by the home fans at the scene, and the Trail Blazers, a team that was obviously about to be beaten, could still win by five points at halftime?
It's obviously unscientific......
