Chapter 635: Aldridge, the Silent Fighter
Maddy's words made Lillard unable to refute, indeed, the gap is too big now, and it doesn't mean that he can change the situation by working alone.
The Trail Blazers just called a timeout, and if they don't pause, it's over.
"Very good, that's it, keep it up." Then all the people here high-fived the five, Popovich didn't say much, the five did a good job, as long as they continued to keep it up.
Qin Yan and the others nodded in understanding, and at the same time seized the time to recover their strength.
Trail Blazers bench.
The atmosphere here is a bit depressing, the bench lineup was beaten like that by the Spurs, and they didn't feel good off the court.
CJ McCollum, in particular, secretly hated why he was injured today, if he wasn't injured (at this time, it makes no difference if he was injured or not...... At the very least, you can take a little pressure off your teammates from the pitch and watch your teammates get abused.
The head coach of the Trail Blazers is also worried, and it will definitely not work to change the main team at this time, so there will be no play in the second half.
"Coach, I'll go up and let Wesley come down and rest for a while."
But at this moment, Aldridge, who was resting on the bench, suddenly asked to play.
"LaMarcus, your fitness ......" The Trail Blazers' coach was reluctant to let Aldridge return to the court so soon, because he and Duncan had been wrestling for a full twelve minutes in the first quarter, and now he only had a short rest, and the team only had one offensive point on the inside, and if he went up at this point, the second half of the interior would be over.
"No problem coach." Aldridge was a player who didn't talk much, "And if I don't play now, it's useless for me to play in the second half." โ
This is true, if the trend is followed, the Trail Blazers are likely to be directly beaten by the Spurs in the second quarter, in which case the second half will go into garbage time early.
So when the timeout ended, the Spurs, who did not make changes to the lineup, suddenly found that Aldridge on the opposite side actually played at this time.
"Hey, isn't he, he's back so early?" Dio was a little depressed, because according to the defensive alignment, Dio is the Spurs' lineup that specializes in dealing with the opposite big forward (the center is handed over to Qin Yan), originally Wright's guy Dio bullied as much as he wanted, but now it's okay, with Aldridge, Dio's next situation is not good.
This can't be blamed on Dior, after all, when the weight is about the same, Aldridge is almost ten centimeters taller than him, and technically Aldridge is only stronger than Dior, not weaker, under this condition, it is really difficult for Dior to defend him.
"Qin, you support Boris in a moment." Ginobili saw the opposite side of the formation and directly ordered Qin Yan, this time the opposite inner line is equivalent to twin towers, although there is a "tower" that can be ignored, but the one that just came up is an elevated turret, and the three-point line is full of his attack range, in the case that there is no big man on the inside line, he can only give up the defense of another person who has no independent attack ability.
The Trail Blazers attacked, and this time Lillard was much more confident, with Aldridge, he was much more lethal when he passed the ball than just now, so that the Spurs would not dare to defend him like just now.
Lillard rushed, and this time Maddy kept the right distance from him and then moved with him, and now Aldridge doesn't know where to be and must be careful for Lillard's passes and breaks.
"Bang!"
Feeling like he was hitting a wall again, Maddie suddenly understood that things were not in a second, and hurriedly shouted at his teammates to pay attention to changing guards!
But when he looked back, he found that the person who did the blocking and demolition was actually Leonard!
What about Aldridge?
At this time, I found out that Aldridge had pulled near the free throw line and raised the ball high with one hand!
Lillard, who had almost burst to the basket, faced Qin Yan to score and defend, and slammed the ball to the free throw line.
Aldridge catches the ball and then looks like he's ready for a turnaround jumper!
"Oops!"
Qin Yan rushed to the free throw line, Maddy on Lillard's side will deal with it, or block Aldridge first.
But when Qin Yan rushed over, he suddenly regretted it.
Fooled! How could Aldridge shoot so simply?
That's right, Aldridge faked a real pass, and after attracting the defense of Qin Yan and Dior, he directly pushed the ball into the sky, and then didn't care about anything.
"Drinkโ"
Under the Spurs basket, a black shadow quietly jumped up, and with a loud shout, this guy grabbed the ball with both hands, and then slammed into the basket!
Maddie knew that it was not good when the black shadow caught the ball, and hurriedly dodged, but fortunately there was no scene of being dunked.
Needless to say, this guy who eats cakes is naturally Leonard, and after the blocking, this guy did not run far, but has been lying in ambush waiting for an opportunity.
No, Aldridge fed him cakes, which can be regarded as avenging the broken ball just now.
The Trail Blazers retreated, the Spurs attacked, this time they didn't score, Leonard's shot was lost under Aldridge's flying interference, Leonard was one against two, desperately blocked Qin Yan and Dio, Wright grabbed this rebound!
The Trail Blazers had the opportunity to narrow the difference, and the ball was still handled by Aldridge, and this time Ade really opened the single, but after all the preparatory actions were completed, he actually passed the ball again at the last time!
And the person who passed it on was Wright!
Wright, this guy, is like Maddie (that is, taller), and he wants to be Maddie, and he can really cosplay in Maddie's clothes, this time he received Aldridge's pass outside the three-point line, and without saying a word, jumping up is a standard McStyle dry pull-out shot!
"I'll go, this guy will too!" Qin Yan was a little surprised, it turned out that he was not the only one who imitated Mai style drying, there was also a person who could learn a lot of similarity!
"Bang--hmm-" A very simple board goal, the Trail Blazers recovered three points!
It can be said that after Aldridge came on the court, although he had not scored directly, two consecutive assists and a flying interference directly allowed the Trail Blazers to recover five points, which not only stabilized the situation, but also suppressed the momentum created by the Spurs' beautiful dunks before!
This is the role of a general, although the Trail Blazers are now the boss of Lillard, and Aldridge is the anchor of their team, the silent fighter!
Originally, Aldridge would have joined the Spurs, but now, the Spurs have Whiteside as the core of the interior, so Aldridge should not come, right?
Then the combination of him and Lillard will definitely be the enemy of the Spurs in the future!
