Chapter 1533: The Trailblazers Don't Go to the Center?
There will also be several games today, a few in the East, a few in the West, and the Lakers are one of them.
Tonight, in Staples, the lights are shining, and everyone is waiting to see how the Lakers will take out the Trail Blazers and easily advance to the next round. The whole Lakers team also traveled lightly and did not have too much emotion and burden. Nick. Yang even said with a smile that they have to win by as many points as they want in this game, and they can't lose to the Golden State Warriors.
After all, we are the first in the league, and they are only the second in the league.
After all, we're the defending champions, they're just challengers.
Right?
This is also the trend of the times, the competitive culture in the United States is like this, there is no sympathy for the weak, it is a social practice, put it in competitive sports...... Hey, that's original sin. If you lose, if you are weak, you don't beep, you will become stronger honestly, and you will be beaten honestly. If you're not convinced, you just need to beat it back when you level up. Redemption is enough. If you can't do it, you better say goodbye, the circle here doesn't sympathize with the weak.
No one sympathizes with the weak either.
If you are weak, you will be beaten, sprayed, and scolded.
The game is on, and the Lakers are obviously different from before, they are no longer a challenger, they are now a team of defending champions, a team of kings. So the momentum, undoubtedly, is amazing. 74-8, the strongest regular season win record in NBA history, is also set by them now, so as soon as the two sides come up, it is the same as the comparison of characters with 18+++ dark gold equipment and 1+ bronze equipment. Very strong feelings.
"The Lakers are really strong, it's really ...... Awesome, worthy of a team with 74 wins. As soon as the Trail Blazers came up, someone was muttering in a low voice. Don't blame them, it's just that the gap in hard power is too big, and the Trail Blazers want to win, which looks like a fantasy on paper.
The Lakers are the sixth man, Nick. Yang is also bullish, which can't be hidden.
Only the starting No. 1 position of the Trail Blazers, Lillard practiced shooting without saying a word, brushing and brushing ~ The farther and farther he shot, he felt that the shooting touch tonight seemed to be very smooth. Lillard is also a player with a lot of personality, at least in this era, and he seems very rare. Why do you say that, his talent is not too outstanding, and it can be seen from the scouting report at the beginning that he came to the Trail Blazers to play with the boss Aldridge.
In Lillard's own words, when he first entered the league, no one took him, including team boss Aldridge. He didn't get a word of support and encouragement from the big guys when he needed it most. Even if it's a simple sentence, you'll succeed. That didn't either. He was also unlucky, and when he finally worked with his boss to re-lead the team to the playoffs and had a certain breakthrough, this All-Star interior line that he thought he was going to assist suddenly ...... Just left.
Lillard himself was a little confused.
Forget it, the teammates behind left one by one, and he was the only one left, still holding on to the Tearing City. And at a young age, he also said a very powerful word: I won't huddle, even if I don't have a championship in my life, I won't go to huddle. Unless something comes up that I can't resist on my own, like a team trade. If I could control myself, then I would never have gotten in a group.
After that, he also said that I would not build a super team.
Then he said, "I choose loyalty."
Then, in response to the question, the guy said:
NBA players under pressure? So what is that to the average person? Count as an insult!
Add to that the fact that he shouldn't rely on the referee to win and so on, which is really ......
No way...... It's a positive energy star in the NBA! This guy's three views are a bit too right, although it's only 2017 now, but he has already said that he won't take the initiative to hold a group. Therefore, this guy, Tang Qian actually quite appreciates it. Now this alliance needs such people to hold on. It's called the backbone of the old-school players.
However, appreciation is appreciation, you said that Tang Qian would treat him as a thing in this game, which is also funny.
Although Lillard is not bad, he is too far behind a star of Tang Qian's level, even in this round of the series, Tang Qian also told the truth and did not care too much. The Trail Blazers seemed to him to be ...... A bit weak.
Not to mention Black 8, even if you win a game, it will be difficult to guess.
At 7:30 p.m., the game began, and the Lakers and Trail Blazers starters took the court together. The lineup on the Lakers' side is still those, center Tang Qian, power forward Randle, small forward Ariza, scoring guard Butler, and point guard Rondo. The Trail Blazers are fielding a Lillard + McCrum + Evan. Turner + Morris. Harkis + Noah. Vonleh's lineup.
Basically, except for McLuum + Lillard, the rest of the lineup is just ordinary role players, not so bad but not very good. Even a few later can only be used as substitutes in the year of play. Especially when they were so bold in this game that they actually ...... Not a single center is on! The tallest is a 208CM tall striker, Noah. Vonleh. THE TALLEST OF THE REST IS A 203CM MORRIS. Hakris too.
This combination is actually a bit strange, and it even feels like you want to give up.
After all, please, please, you see if it's good, there is No. 29 tyrant Tang in the opposing team, and the league's No. 1 center is good, how many teams want to use big heads to resist it. It's good that you guys went directly to such a "small lineup"? Do you think you're the Golden State Warriors? Play Five Little ???
Or was it the Miami Heat back then, playing one big and four small?
Don't forget, our Lakers' No. 29 is ...... Behemoth C, which can keep up with the speed of a small ball.
You guys are also on a 216CM Mayers. Leonard, people have the height and tonnage. Isn't that a bit of a joke? I'm afraid we won't be able to kill you??? The Lakers' home commentator, Beal. McDonald also looked sarcastic, feeling that such a platoon is really a bit ridiculous.
I really think of myself as the Golden State Warriors???
How is your defense, can it be at a level? Is the attack ability a level???
So the Lakers' offense was a little careless at the beginning, with an easy overhead pass cut, then a mid-lane rush, and Ariza scored an empty cut layup. The Lakers are also playing very slippery now, and Rondo is completely in control of possession with the Lakers, which also allows him to fully play himself, and the more he plays, the more comfortable he becomes. In the end, Rondo should be used like this, if you don't give him possession, basically half of his martial arts will be wasted. And the Lakers center built a team, and there is no such conflict at all.
Rondo has been the Lakers' assist champion for 2 consecutive years, which is the best proof that he is also suitable for a slow pace, all of which makes him keep saying that this is his peak moment. It's no longer the Green Army of the year. Although the competition for the All-Star spot in the West is really fierce, this kind of honor is not very attractive to him, because he has not entered the All-Star line, and he still wants more solid honors now. For example, the assist king, such as the defensive lineup, such as the best team, such as the core championship ring, and so on. He also recognized the boss ring if he couldn't get it, but it's okay to take a few more core rings, right? Then life is complete.
But the Trail Blazers didn't seem to be annoyed, and when they turned their heads, it was a cover + mid-range projection after blocking and dismantling, and the hit was still a 2-point shot. This is basically a microcosm of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers are very well prepared for various blocking and pick-and-roll shooting, and the blocking and shooting are also very resolute, so the Lakers' scoring did not affect them much.
What to say after that, the Lakers made a lot of mistakes in the first quarter, with a total of 7 turnovers, five of which came on the outside pass. And you also know that the Lakers are the team that has done the most in this league, especially in the last two months or so, this number and proportion have risen in a straight line. It's even bigger than the original. With that, the Trail Blazers made a targeted arrangement tonight.
Why go all-in on the mobility lineup? Either they don't have big men, or they don't have big guys who can't do it perfectly with the whole team. Which point? This is the point now, actively disrupting and blocking the Lakers' outside and inside passing routes.
The big guys are still too bulky and not as nimble and comfortable as the shorter players.
And in the first quarter tonight, letting the Trail Blazers do this defense has had a certain effect.
In addition, the scale of confrontation in the playoffs will be greatly increased, so that the difficulty of passing the ball to the interior will also increase, even if Rondo deliberately does this, he will often be seen through. To put it simply, the way the offense is launched is too simple. This is also such an inertial problem that the Lakers have developed during this period of time. It is said that you can develop a habit in 21 days, and the Lakers have been like this for several months, so they were suddenly used by the Trail Blazers.
This is not unheard of in history, and many teams that play too simply, teams that rely too much on one person, enter the playoffs and are similarly forcefully targeted. The playoffs are the playoffs, and using the regular season to do it will definitely not work. Otherwise, why is the playoffs the real battleground in the NBA?
Jordan and Olajuwon were also targeted like this.
The Lakers still underestimated the Trail Blazers' aggressiveness tonight.
PS: This is more of a supplement for yesterday, and today will be counted today, so our side, the playoffs, have also begun.
