Bobo began to realize in the last loss to the Trail Blazers that although Parker and Manu are more than destructive, they are also very limited, and Parker's range determines that he can't open up space; And Manu's stability is also a headache.

So they also had a couple of patterns in this game.

Conventional mode: the ball carrier tries to create a dislocation through the pick-and-roll, while the off-ball man creates a defensive disposition by moving around the pile, and the man does not stick to the ball and keeps going, and so on until there is a counterpoint advantage (misalignment) or a defensive disposition (vacancy);

Single-core attack mode: The main point of attack (usually Parker/Manu, and now there are occasional Dior scenes) holds the ball to attack and tear up the defensive formation, and cooperates with the off-ball running position in the regular mode to divide the ball according to the situation.

Dual-core mode: It is common to see Manu and Parker on the field at the same time, with the intention of compressing the opponent's formation.

Such a Spurs is difficult to play, and has played many games with the Trail Blazers in a row, and Popovich has also figured out the tactics of playing the Trail Blazers.

Pritchard is clearly inferior to Popovich in this regard.

During the timeout, the Trail Blazers didn't respond too strongly, and he didn't realize the problem.

And it turned out

The Spurs used their fluid passing ball to let the Trail Blazers lose the game.

106 to 99.

The Trail Blazers Devils are home to a break.

There are so many games in the NBA that losing to the Spurs in the regular season isn't a big deal, and it's not a playoff game.

Will they meet the Spurs in the playoffs?

It's hard to say.

After losing this game, the Trail Blazers immediately rushed to the next road game.

......

One game after another.

.......

After playing throughout February, the Trail Blazers played average overall, with a total of 10 wins and 8 losses.

This month, Xue Ding and Roy also suffered some minor injuries intermittently, and Xue Ding also suspended three games because of this, although he repeatedly claimed that he could play with injuries, but the uniform team of the Pioneers really did not dare to try to take the risk of Xue Ding being seriously injured.

At the end of the month, small forward Batum ushered in a comeback!

The injury problem is too serious for the Trail Blazers, and Batum's return is undoubtedly a strong boost for the team.

February 22 is also the summary day of transactions.

The most recent big trade was the Rockets, Kings, and Knicks three-way seven-man trade.

Maddie went to the Knicks, Landry went to the Kings, and the Rockets traded for Armstrong, Jeffries, Martin.

Xue Ding knew that Martin had a trading chip for Harden, and Maddy's departure also indirectly brought Harden, which was completely squeezed out of value by the Rockets.

There's also the trade between the Mavericks and the Wizards, with the Mavericks sending Josh Howard, Gooden, Quentin Rose and Singleton to the Wizards in exchange for Caron Butler, Haywood, and Stevenson, and the trade was perfect.

When he learned of this deal, Xue Ding also knew that the strength of the Mavericks had risen sharply, but Chandler was brought in by himself to bring in the Trailblazers, which also made them unable to easily become the super bull that destroyed the Big Three.

There was also a trade between the Cavaliers and the Wizards, where the Cavaliers traded for Antoine Jamison.

The deal was hailed as the final piece of the puzzle for LeBron James to win his first championship.

The outside world overheated Jamison, but Xue Ding didn't care at all.

Jamison is probably the only player in NBA history who has scored more than 20,000 points but has a basically zero presence, and he can't even touch the shadow of Chambers, who is the second-to-last player in the club with 20,000 points. A very good attacker, but that's it, the historical status is not at all

Jamison inherited the North Carolina forward's path and has a well-rounded technique, with mid-to-long range shots and excellent back-to-back footwork. When he was young, he played a small forward, and he can basically be regarded as the second best scorer in the league among small forwards. The movement and the ball are very smart. A very academic forward, and he has the same kind of academic wilt as Rashid and Carter, especially after leaving Golden State.

He is also always "I have to score this point every game, I don't want to get my hands wet...... so he is a scorer who can adapt to various systems, but in addition to scoring, what he can do is ordinary level rebounding, ordinary level movement containment, and ordinary level strategy.

Jamison's personality is said to be gentle and not ostentatious; To put it mildly, it's the same as Carter and Rashid.

"I'll play as hard as I can, but don't expect me to do it all."

At the Wizards, he was the most consistent scorer among the three leading players. But also because of his presence, the Wizards' box hardness - both offensive and defensive - is average.

How so?

The stats of such a player as a starting interior player will always look good, but it is difficult to expect the team to play at a level of more than 50 wins.

It's a bit cruel to say this, but Xue Ding knows that this is the truth, and Jamison may actually be the most suitable character for him to stand on a strong team when he plays the sixth man.

That's all for the big deals.

The rest are bits and pieces that are not worth mentioning.

The Trail Blazers themselves have not made much movement, and several trade rumors have been blown up.

This is also very reasonable, the Trail Blazers originally had a reasonable lineup, but a series of injuries made the team almost fall into a collapse situation.

Fortunately, after the All-Star Game changed the team doctor, the overall injury count of the Trail Blazers did decline significantly.

Although Oden was reimbursed, it had nothing to do with the team doctor.

Roy's injuries have improved significantly under the care of the new team doctor.

Roy has had a lot of injuries before, and it can be summarized that there are several reasons.

1. There have been several old injuries in college. 2. McMillan's style of play is very grinding. Slow-paced half-court offense and defense. 3. The Portland team doctor is terrible. 4. I came back several times in advance before I recovered from my injury.

The second, third, and fourth points have all changed due to Xue Ding's influence in all aspects, and Roy's injury is naturally not so serious.

The uninjured Trail Blazers can compete for a championship, but what more do they need to trade?

In February, because Roy's playing time gradually stabilized, Xue Ding's shots plummeted, and his average points per game dropped again, but assists and rebounds were still double-doubles.

However, Xue Ding's scoring performances are less, but the performances of other stars are crazy, which also makes Xue Ding's popularity fade slightly.

In the Lakers' game against the Memphis Grizzlies this month, Bryant officially surpassed Jerry West to become the Lakers' all-time leading scorer.

Bryant scored 44 points in the game, and he scored his 29th point with 4:14 left in the third quarter, surpassing West with a total of 25,913 points. Although the Lakers lost 93-95, this game was enough for Kobe Bryant to remember.

On February 22, in the game between the Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Durant scored 32 points, and he has scored more than 25 points in 28 consecutive games, surpassing the previous Iverson record of 27 consecutive games, but his momentum stopped three days later, scoring only 21 points, catching Jordan's 40 consecutive games and 25+ pace.

In the ranking of players under the age of 25, Durant is the first and Xue Ding is second.

In the game between the Nets and the Trail Blazers on February 24, Yi Jianlian scored 6 points and 2 rebounds, and the UAE scored a total of 1,502 points, becoming the second Chinese to break the 1,500-point mark.

On March 1, Xue Ding, who had experienced 5 consecutive visitors, returned to Portland again.
