Chapter 1536 - It Feels Good, Want to Lose?
"Let's wait for the ball in our hands to be activated, don't force the pass inside, give it again when we have the chance, the other party is very dead to our outside pass and inside pinch. Be sure to pay attention to this. Don't force it. "Larry. Brown said quickly below: "Take the short pass + cut in on the flank, the opponent's overall defense is not particularly good, we just need to turn the score difference over, and we can touch the corner of the goddess of victory again." Saying that, he said to Tang Qian: "You can strengthen the offensive rebounding after you wait, the opponent is a weak point, and the mobile lineup of one big and four small is a defect in the face of your rebounding, and this place can be used well." ”
"Then defend well and wait for the win."
"We're the champions. Have you memorized them all? Remember, let's play. ”
……
The Trail Blazers, for their part, are also arranging what their head coach Terry. Stouts quickly drew on the board, then kept pointing at the Trail Blazers players one by one. For the Lakers, this game doesn't want to lose. For trailblazers, why not? They may even be the last one they want to lose. Because of the loss, the morale behind it basically can't get up.
Compared with the Lakers' heritage, they are indeed too far behind, and they must get off to a good start.
And now, they see such an opportunity.
When the timeout came up, the Lakers attacked, Butler suddenly cut inside, Tang Qian blocked and dismantled in the low post, and he quickly swept past him, which directly made the defenders attracted by Tang Qian not keep up. At this time, Rondo played the ball for the first time, and he deserved to be the assist king this year, this pass was very timely and very standard! In order to save time, it is directly a basket ball.
That is, it is a ...... Alley-oop, air relay.
Butler cleared the basket and the Lakers tied up for 2 points and were still 3-pointers.
At this time, everyone knows who they should defend, and it is nothing more than their backcourt double guns. The rest of the people, to put it mildly, unless they are given the opportunity to feed the bread, otherwise if you give him a single, will they dare to beat it themselves? Or is it a historical defensive powerhouse like the Lakers? I don't dare, so basically, I just need to keep an eye on the 2 people opposite.
The Trail Blazers have always played key shots like this.
It's actually not easy to defend in this way, in case both of them are open, they still can't be prevented, you look at the Warriors, but seriously, the two of them are still incomparable to the "Tsunami Brothers". Consistency and scoring ability are far behind. The "Tsunami Brothers" on the opposite side are all real, super scorers and scoring champions. The ability to score alone has thrown off this side for several streets. So the Lakers believe that there shouldn't be much of a problem.
However, sometimes, this kind of star player can also explode, but once it explodes, the situation is different.
And tonight, whether it is the original time and space or the current time and space, these two people have exploded, and their state and feel cannot be measured by ordinary standards. The Trail Blazers played a V-shaped pick-and-roll strategy with a top arc, and Lillard, who held the ball at the top arc, asked for a pick-and-roll first, and found that the Lakers quickly switched defenses, and immediately passed the ball to McLum at a 45-degree angle on the right side. At the same time, he quickly cut into the air, opening up the space for defenders and attackers. McLuum also raised his hand to block and then forced a breakthrough, but the Lakers' defenders were not watching, and Butler forced the ball directly past Evan. Turner's wall of cover was put up again.
Butler's physical advantage is still obvious, and McRum is a bit tough.
Although he has a good ball-handling ability, he does not have the ability to easily break down Butler's defense in the playoffs. The ball was played and shifted back, and Lillard pulled it back, it turned out that he was just dangling just now, and he wasn't really trying to cut into the box. One brakes and then gets the ball and is ready to attack. Of course, Rondo was also very fast, but the ball was blocked by the opponent.
Rondo immediately shouted and changed his guard!!
Lakers Ariza quickly moved over to make up for the defense, which was very timely, and it could be seen that the Lakers' defensive system and defensive literacy were really replaced by Larry. Brown has done a good job of tuning. This ball is basically up to date, and it is not out of position. But...... The devil knows this Trail Blazers' No. 0...... Why don't you shoot it directly???
Pointers!
Lillard is only 191cm tall, in fact, many people even say that this is still the height after wearing shoes, and his real height is not at the 190cm level. However, Lillard has a strong arm span, and his bare foot is less than 190cm, and his arm span reaches 203cm. So his stats can give him an advantage in terms of projection. However, Ariza is not a coward, Ariza is more than 2 meters tall, and her arm span has reached a terrible ...... 218.4cm! That's one of the reasons why Ariza's defensive talent is so good. On the outside line of the active league, there are really few people who can have a longer arm span than him. So this ball, he still has a good chance to interfere.
But the problem is, this ball Lillard...... Or him in!
That's a bit speechless!! You can get in here??? What kind of wind is he really smoking???
That's right, Lillard is such a player, once the touch comes, it's a super god, a cold-blooded killer, iron up, that's really iron. It's a pity that tonight, he's ...... It feels hot to the touch. It's a six-point shot again.
The Lakers cut into the ball in a pick-and-roll ...... Cut off by Lillard, the Trail Blazers broke fast, but the ball was caught up by Butler and interfered, and the Lakers did not let the score difference be further widened. The Lakers want to give the inside, but the opportunity is not good. Brown said that he didn't force the opportunity to give it, so he didn't continue to try, and instead gave Butler the offense on the outside.
Butler broke through the ball and hit 2 of 2 free throws, but he didn't coerce.
But until now, you can still feel that the overall performance of the Lakers is very discordant, lacking the tacit sense of understanding last year. It seems that for Tang Qian's regular season MVP, the Lakers have also paid a lot of price. The biggest price is that directly when the playoffs come, they still don't enter the playoffs as a whole, which is a very disadvantaged thing.
The Lakers are four points aside.
The Trail Blazers wanted to continue to block and dismantle, but this time they were defended by the Lakers, wasting time, not to mention, and didn't run out of any particularly good positions overall. The shot missed, but it was a long rebound, and the Trail Blazers continued to get it. This ball makes Larry. Brown was angry because the Lakers were still in the regular season, and their mental preparation was obviously not as good as their opponents.
And this is Larry. Brown couldn't accept it.
He shouted from the sidelines: "Pay attention to me!" Cheer up! Rebounds are not well protected??? Protect me!! Long rebounds, which can't be easily conceded right now!! "Yes, in this situation, don't lose the long rebound ball easily, otherwise it will give the opponent another chance to attack. It was still a pick-and-roll, and Turner tried his best to block the pick-and-roll, but there was still no particularly good opportunity to come out. At this time, the No. 3 of the Trail Blazers, McLurm ran out to ask for the ball, and after getting the ball, he tried to break through, but it was not easy to make it, so he simply bent his knees slightly and shot at the top.
It's a top shot again, and Butler hates this offensive style the most, which will expose his "reach defects" completely.
But this is still physiological, and he can't solve it.
I can only hope that the opponent will not score, McRum has shot more than 42% of three-pointers this season, which can be called a marksman, but Butler still gave a tough interference in this ball. Although the hand is a little shorter, it can't be covered. But the interference was still given.
And as ferocious, as always.
This ball...... Brush ~ entered???
Right here in Bill. While McDonald was still praising Butler for his good defense, the basketball went in.
It's basically a strong shot from a top person, but you can get in...... That's a defensive failure.
Tonight, he is in the same state as an explosion, and he feels very good.
Brush ~7 minutes~ The state of these two people tonight is really better than everyone expected.
Do you have to lose the first game? Tang Qian definitely didn't agree, although the Lakers didn't shoot into the net from a distance in the next ball, the rebound was taken by the Lakers' No. 29, and then a basket was strong. This time, the players of the Trail Blazers are ready, after all, they were beaten several times by the Lakers' No. 29 in front of them, and it is impossible to have no reaction.
2 people came up directly, the speed was very fast, and the shot was also timely.
The ball was about to be stopped.
At this time, Tang Qian's strength and personal ability came into play, and he rose up and threw the basketball out with two people.
Smack ~ brush ~ beep ~
The basketball hit the board and went to the net, and at the same time got a chance.
Tang Qian walked to the free throw line, added free throws, and hit.
2+1 success, the Lakers are still 4 points behind.
