Under Roy's leadership, the Trail Blazers stabilized their position and did not let the Raptors play a highlight off the bench, and Pritchard's lineup adjustments once again showed their effect.

When Roy and Xue Ding were put on the field together, Roy's role was greatly weakened, the defects of speed were magnified, and his abilities in other aspects were not well played.

But as a substitute or a sixth man, it is basically the sixth man with the biggest name in the current team, which is also a lot of psychological pressure as a head coach, although Roy has always had a clear attitude in this regard, as long as he does anything for the team's victory.

But after all, there is a high salary, for the management, attitude is one thing, but the most fundamental thing is that you have to play a performance that matches your value.

Substitution means a reduction in playing time, which is directly related to statistical performance, so the main force of many teams, because of the question of whether they can start, and the head coach are prone to irreconcilable contradictions.

Although the Trail Blazers don't have this problem now, it is also based on the fact that the team can win, and without a record, everything is empty talk.

Seeing Roy's play, head coach Pritchard was also relieved.

With a score of 52:54, the Trail Blazers led by two points at home, ending the first half of the game.

"Coach Zhang, the first half of the game was very exciting, both teams played very well, but Xue Ding's attack was significantly reduced, and the assists were relatively more than usual, and Roy changed from a starter to a substitute, and it was a personnel adjustment made in a game, what do you think of these two points."

"Xue Ding's role has changed now, it is obvious that Pritchard let Xue Ding play the role of the brain of the whole team, originally Xue Ding was an organizational defender, but because of his offensive style of play, he has been criticized, which can be regarded as a return to his original position, but Xue Ding's style must be offensive, that is, the positioning of a dual-energy guard"

"Yes, Xue Ding has been very sharp in his attack in terms of the style of play that he left for everyone before, and in terms of connecting the team, it was Roy who was on the scene to do these things, and now these things have been handed over to him, will there be any drawbacks?"

"There is no complete good or bad in anything, the key is to fit, which is very suitable for Xue Ding, because he is very forward, but the team had too many injuries before, so he had to provoke the heavy responsibility of attacking, so it gives everyone the impression that it can only attack, in fact, this is wrong, as a person with a high ball quotient, he must be all-round and top-notch, because winning the game is not just about attacking well."

"Yes, so Pritchard's courage is still very big, and for the sake of victory, he directly put Roy on the bench, will this bring any hidden dangers."

"It depends on Xue Ding, we have a good saying, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, that's the truth, the pioneers now actually have two bosses, one is spiritual, that is Roy, and the other is Xue Ding, who is leading the team to sing forward, fortunately, Xue Ding and Roy both have a good relationship, and they don't care much about these things, but this trend is inevitable, the key is whether Xue Ding can maintain a good state for a long time."

"In other words, as long as Xue Ding's strength has been improving, or has always maintained the peak, this matter is a matter of course?"

"Yes, that's it, I'm very optimistic about Xue Ding, his future achievements will definitely be higher than Da Yao"

"Mr. Zhang, I also have such expectations, okay, the second half of the game has begun, let's pay attention to Xue Ding's wonderful performance"

……

The Raptors personnel made adjustments, Barnia down, Amir? Johnson up, Jack down Calderon on.

The Raptors possessed the ball, Caldera dribbled past the half, and handed the ball directly to Turkoglou, facing Fernandez's defense, Turkoglou dribbled under the crotch continuously, the rhythm was not very fast, but between the rhythm changes, it was easy to pass Fernandes, and hit a mid-range shot to tie the score, 54:54.

Fernandes is a very active player, very active in his movements, not very good in physical strength, but fast, and this characteristic is a lot of losses in defense against a rhythm master like Turkglou.

Xue Ding dribbled over half the court, and the inside line was very fierce, Amir? Both Johnson and Ade's arms were tangled together, and Bosh kept leaning low to deny Chandler a chance to receive the ball comfortably.

Fernandez ran from the bottom corner to the high post, the cockscomb man took advantage of the situation to hang Calderon with a block, Xue Ding distributed the ball for the first time, and Fernandez received the ball and shot in an empty position.

"Bang dang", the iron is struck.

Bosh accepted the rebound, Xue Ding retreated as soon as possible, not giving the Raptors a chance to counterattack quickly, Calderon pushed the ball past half court, continued to hand the ball to Turkglou, ran to the bottom corner, took away the cockscomb man, and opened up the space.

Turkglu breaks in, Amir? Johnson stuck Ade, not allowing him to step forward to make up for the defense, and Turkoglou hit an easy jumper again and played very consistently.

Xue Ding dribbled past half the court, and in the face of the blocking and running position of the cockscomb man and Fernandes, he still chose to pass the ball without hesitation.

Hitting the iron again, Calderon quickly pushed the ball forward quickly, and just after halftime, the two sides were not firmly established, and raising their hands outside the three-point line was a three-point shot.

Xue Ding raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, don't worry, after dribbling past half the court, Fernandez ran out of the vacant position, Xue Ding passed the ball over as soon as possible, without hesitation, and did not waver because of the iron of his teammates.

Fernandez took the ball and, surprisingly, hit the iron again.

Xue Ding shouted loudly to defend and retreated as soon as possible, Fernandez was still depressed, and was shouted by Xue Ding, and quickly got rid of the sluggish mood.

Calderon broke through Fernandez in the first half and rushed to the inside, Ade was a little slow and not in place, Bosh stuck Chandler, Xue Ding quickly made up the defense, Calderon immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner Turkglou, who raised his hand to shoot three points and hit again.

With a score of 62:54, the Raptors played a wave of 10:2 mini-climaxes and took an eight-point lead.

Pritchard did not call a timeout and completely handed over the situation on the court to Xue Ding.

Xue Ding held the ball past half court, Rooster and Fernandez crossed the run, and Chandler and Bosh kept entanglement in front and back.

Amika? Johnson's defense is more thorough, with only Ade in his eyes, not looking at the ball, and tightly entangled people.

Fernandez cut in diagonally from the baseline, and the cockscomb man made a tacit block to hang up Calderon, who was chasing the defense, Xue Ding waved his hand, and the ball floated to Fernandez.
