I don't know if the league saw the Rockets' lineup unprecedentedly strong today, and a little bit of the idea of engaging the Rockets, this season's Rockets' schedule is also an unexpected devil, there are months of continuous back-to-back of strong teams, like what is flying to Los Angeles today to play the Lakers and then flying to the East tomorrow to challenge the Cavaliers, Heat These strong teams, three games in four days are countless, but there are months of idle time, only a little more than ten games a month, My Neighbor Totoro was also convinced after seeing the schedule.

It's like an otaku, crazy at night in HIGH, but during the day when people should be able to do normal activities but desperately make up for sleep, this is not in line with a person's normal physiological activities at all, and it's the same for the team, when it's tight, it's very tight, so that the players feel tired, and when it's loose, it's not good for the players to keep in shape, and it's really hell that a team can maintain their best condition for a long time, and they are still the team that played for the league in Asia this summer. I knew that I should have turned down this kind of errand, and there was no one who was thankless in MLGB........

However, the NBA league is still a place that relies on hard power to speak, and the league's top management may make trouble on the schedule, make a fuss about the referees of a certain game, and do tricks on the best of the month, the best of the week and some awards, but these are harmless places, and what can really determine the ceiling of a team is the players in the team, but whoever wants to become a dynasty team, most of them will encounter unimaginable difficulties that ordinary teams can't imagine, just imagine what a team looks like against the world, Every dynasty is not so easy to build, it is easy for a team to win the championship for the first time, but it is difficult to defend the title in a row, especially at a time when the league least wants to see a team dominate the league, and it is definitely more difficult to build a dynasty in the 20th century than in the 90s.........

After winning their championship night, they had just one day off, and on Oct. 29, they headed to Portland's Rose Garden Arena to take on their old opponents in the first round of the playoffs last season, the Portland Trail Blazers.

This year, the Trail Blazers are a new team in the league that hopes to win the championship, Roy and Oden are not reimbursed as the historical trajectory, the entire Trail Blazers have spent time training themselves this summer, and the lessons that the Rockets gave them in the playoffs last year are too profound, although the big score is 4:1 to kill themselves, but they know in their hearts that the only one they won was deliberately released by the other party, which may have something to do with their own betting, but the Trail Blazers players have no substantial evidence on hand, This matter had to be settled.

But no one knows better than them how the Rockets despise them, and the shame it brings them is worse than beating them with dignity, but any player with a little bit of self-esteem can't stand being treated like this, and the Trail Blazers are all holding their breath this year, they didn't sign some players this summer to strengthen their roster like traditional powerhouses, because they think the talent in the team is strong enough, Brandon Roy is the only point guard in the league right now, Oden is an epic rookie with the same talent as James to change the landscape of a basketball league, Aldridge has gradually grown into an All-Star power forward, Bartom is one of the few small forwards in the league, and Blake, as the starting point guard, although the defense is a little weak, but these young players in the lineup need an experienced mentor, and no one is more qualified than Blake, who is a point guard and has played in the league for 6 years, to play their big brother position.

And defense and offense are not Blake's strengths, field control is Blake's specialty, as a traditional defender, his assist-to-turnover ratio is very good, the Trail Blazers generally do not collapse too much in games with Blake, even if they don't need the coach to help call a timeout, he also knows when to control the rhythm, when to play what tactics, this is where a team has a traditional back position.

It's just that it also depends on what team Portland is up against, and today when they meet last year's bitter master, the refreshed Rockets, and there is a master guard Chris Paul who can control the court more than Blake, the rhythm of the Trail Blazers is obviously carried away by the Rockets.

After the first quarter of the game, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers actually soared out of a high score of 42:46 at the same time, today's Rockets before the game is not to play defense, after winning the championship, Adelman is not stubbornly implementing his Princeton system, and now suddenly the old coach who has been baptized by the championship halo has learned to adapt to local conditions, looking at who the opponent is to arrange relatively labor-saving and effective tactics.

This time, Shuai learned a mustache D'Anthony who was coached by the Knicks, Portland is still a youth army, they are more energetic than the Lakers, the Spurs, but they are also more prone to make mistakes, disrupting is their specialty, but it is also their Achilles' heel, maybe with momentum, they can keep up with the offensive rhythm of the Rockets in the first quarter and even the second quarter, but once they are excited, what about after they can't stop playing?

It is foreseeable that the cooperation will start to be simple, and the mistakes will begin to increase, and this time is the time for the rocket to kill the game, and it is much easier to win with this style of play than to come up with a set of positional battle lineups, grind with them little by little, and use your own shield to resist the sharp spear on the opposite side.

Of course, it is impossible for Da Yao to follow the rocket to bombard the lineup, this time Adelman did not put Yao Ming in the starting lineup, anyway, the little giant played a summer of Asian Championships and he was tired, Adelman can rest at his public expense, Da Yao is too late to steal fun, how can there be any objections?

In the first quarter, Totoro scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in the melee, Chandler got 10 points and 5 boards, Jordan Hill also scored 8 points, and Paul only got 4 points and 2 assists because he was replaced early because he only played half a quarter, but even if there is no master of control, in the fast break of your back and forth, Totoro did not make much mistakes in ball control, and now Totoro has slowly redeemed his talent in the organization.

In the second quarter, Paul continued to appear with the lineup of Evans + Tegipson + Iguodala + Beverley, in the lineup list Paul played point guard and Heibei went to the position of scoring guard, but Heibei also showed others his fierce side on the defensive end, against the opponent's bench Rudy Fernandez, a scoring guard who was close to 2 meters tall, Beverley did not give the Spaniard a chance, Instead, he used his American-style ferocious dog-bite defense to teach the sophomore, who only entered the NBA last year, a lesson, to let him know what the NBA is a place to play.........

Fernandez, who is accustomed to playing elegant basketball and technical basketball, was very uncomfortable by Beverley, and the opponent was not afraid of physical defense again and again The active confrontation disrupted his rhythm, and it stands to reason that Fernandez, who is half a head taller than Beverley, should be misplaced against Beverley, but Fernandez failed to play his misalignment advantage at all, and the team also gave him a chance, and after receiving the basketball attack four times in a row, he succeeded once, and the point difference was pulled away by the Rockets from the bench lineup.

After changing to the main force, the two sides were in a chaotic battle, and the Trail Blazers also fully showed their talent in the first half, breaking through the violent dunk, air relay, chasing three points, Roy and Oden only played one first half and both scored more than 20, but even so, they couldn't hide the young and inexperienced of their lineup, starting from the second quarter, they gave the Rockets 6 turnovers in just half a quarter, and the Rockets also seized this opportunity to convert the opponent's 6 turnovers into 14 points, The Trail Blazers trailed by 14 points 67-81 after halftime.

"We're going to defend! We want to make fewer mistakes! We can't run like this anymore, we have to be more focused if we want to win the game! Don't handle the ball blindly! ”

At halftime, it was the head coach of the Trail Blazers, McMillan, who couldn't hold it first, he had long found that it was impossible to win the offensive battle with a team like the Rockets, Totoro was obviously a small forward, but in the first half he only contributed one turnover under the ball usage rate of nearly 35%, and Paul didn't even talk about it, 37% of the ball usage rate didn't even make a single turnover, these two people are monsters, and they can't look at them with the eyes of a normal person.........

But McMillan's words didn't play a big role, at this time, the black players whose adrenaline has been fully mobilized will not listen to the words of the head coach, especially the young players, so that they can let go of the appetite that is more suitable for them, and the flying dunk is their best opportunity to release their energy, and it takes almost no effort to brush up a dazzling data, are they not fools who will give up the fast-paced speed to play positional warfare with them?

In the second half, the Trail Blazers only played two rounds of slow ball, and Paul launched two fast downs to finish Totoro and flew up the rhythm, one was the Trail Blazers played an offense, and the Auden the Great put the ball in with a small hook hand after playing back in the low post, but before they had time to retreat, the Rockets sent Paul by Battier fast, Paul hit a long pass from a standard quarterback and directly found the fast Totoro, Totoro three steps dunked, and the second time Auden the Great was still exactly the same action again, But Chandler said that his name Tyson was not called in vain, a big hat fanned the basketball into Paul's hands, this time the queen bee made an aerial relay for Totoro after the halfcourt, the Trail Blazers had two European players sandwiched between Totoro on the left and right, but Totoro also jumped high, from the long arm known for Bartom and the famous spring man Fernandez took the lead in controlling the basketball with his right hand, and forced the ball into the basket with the posture of splitting Huashan!

This ball must properly lock in today's NBA top five ball position, and can lock a place in the best goals, assists and dunks of the week and month goals, assists and dunks, this fast break is too difficult to match, whether it is Paul and Totoro who participate in the offense, without either of the two of them, they can't complete this amazing empty catch, without Queen Bee's passing accuracy, ordinary guards can't accurately pass the ball to Totoro's hands at a distance of one half court between themselves and the ball, And without the advantage of Totoro's bounce and arm span, this ball will be destroyed by Bartom and Fernandez even if Paul passes well, and this ball seems to be nothing remarkable in the movement vision of the human eye, but if it is played back in slow motion, those who really understand the ball will sigh, it turns out that this is the talent gap that others can see with the naked eye in their mouths!

After completing the fast break, Totoro and Paul also high-fived each other to celebrate, Paul has always been Totoro's favorite player, high emotional intelligence, extensive connections in the league, strong competitiveness, and good character, although it is undeniable that sometimes in order to win, he will have some small actions, but it does not hurt people, Totoro can also understand, because imagine a little Paul as a 183 but can achieve those achievements in the league, you will understand, he usually paid more than how many players sweat to create those achievements? He is more or less famous in the NBA by relying on his system talent, not to mention him, just change to another amateur basketball fan, give him this kind of condition, he can succeed or even better than what he does, but what if they Paul is a height of 183? Can they still be the league's No. 1 point guard?

Queen Bee is the best guard that Totoro has cooperated with so far, and Totoro is also the best small forward that Paul has cooperated with so far, although the skin color is different but very calling, he and his future wife Jada Clarey are not married at this time, but the child already has it, when little Paul was just born, Paul also specially invited Totoro to his home as a guest, and at the same time he is also trying his best to help Totoro save his relationship with other stars in the league, as one of the members of the Dust Four, Paul keeps in touch with most of the top players in the league, although Totoro himself feels that this matter is unnecessary, and he has no deep hatred with other superstars in the end, everyone is just to play and eat, but under Paul's scheduling, he still exchanged calls with stars like James and Anthony who didn't call each other very much last season.

But although both sides have a phone, you can meet Totoro when you should start or start, it's a big deal to block the phone list after you finish it, Paul, who has worked hard in it, doesn't know what Totoro thinks at the moment, otherwise Queen Bee may have to submit a transfer application to the Rocket's top management at this moment.........
