The stronger the opponent, the more likely it is to bring out the best in the player. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is true that the Lakers are the strongest team in the league, but in today's game, the Trail Blazers made the Lakers feel the pressure of their opponents.

This came as a surprise to both Lakers players and coaches. You know, things like the Rockets, Cavaliers and Warriors have never put so much pressure on the Lakers.

But now, the Trail Blazers have done it.

Chu Xuan thinks this is a good thing, because this season's Lakers really need the stimulation of strong opponents, and only in this way can the players grow further. Therefore, the Trail Blazers played well, and the stronger the performance, the more the Lakers would like to see it.

Of course, on the one hand, today's game can also reflect the competitive nature of the NBA league, and the competition between teams is often unpredictable, because in this league, the gap between teams is not absolute, so on the contrary, any situation can occur. Especially the competition between a team of the level of the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, no matter what the result, is normal.

……

At the beginning of the second half, the Trail Blazers played a wave of 10:3 climax, completed the comeback for the first time, and led the Lakers by 4 points.

In this case, the outside world is also talking one after another, and many people even questioned Chu Xuan's pre-match victory.

"It's really a bad character, I think Chu Xuan will be slapped in the face by the other party today."

"The arrogant army will lose, and the current Lakers are starting to be a little complacent. The stellar record has corroded the soul of this team, and I think that's the biggest crisis for the Lakers. The Bulls have already sounded the alarm bell for the Lakers, and if they lose to the Trail Blazers today, I think the Lakers really need to sort out the team's problems from start to finish. ”

"Can the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers? Judging from the current situation, there is indeed such a possibility. ”

"Will Coach Chu Xuan be able to make effective adjustments? The Trail Blazers' outside offense is just too strong, and the Lakers must step up their defense against the Trail Blazers. ”

"The Lakers shouldn't have put the defensive focus on Draymond Green, although they killed Draymond, but it didn't have a fundamental impact on the opponent, but put the opponent in the lead."

……

People are often so strange, and when they encounter adversity, there will always be a lot of negative voices. However, when adversity turns into good times, those negative voices can instantly turn into positive and even flattering voices.

Just as the Lakers have always been in the lead before, and even always able to destroy one opponent after another with a devastating attitude, the voices of the outside world are completely admiring the Lakers, what is the strongest team in history, what is the best record in history, and what is the most powerful star player. However, when the Lakers lost unexpectedly, negative criticism and doubts sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and all the previous achievements directly lost their meaning.

Just like at this time, the Lakers were led by the Trail Blazers, and it seemed that in the eyes of the outside world, the Lakers were no longer the Lakers who created the longest winning streak in history.

……

However, for Chu Xuan, these voices would not have any effect on him.

Today's pioneers have indeed exceeded Chu Xuan's expectations, and their style of play has given Chu Xuan a lot of gains and insights. The Trail Blazers were able to fight back because they played to their strengths, which was their fast and agile team attack, and most of their players today had a particularly good hand, so they have maintained a huge advantage.

In the previous game, Chu Xuan had been thinking about how to deal with the situation of the Trailblazers.

Although there is no particularly good way to come up with a special method for the time being, Chu Xuan still decided to make some attempts, after all, he still doesn't want to see the Lakers being suppressed all the time, because in that case, the kind of confidence that the Lakers have built up with great difficulty will also be shaken, which is very bad for the development of the Lakers this season.

"From what I've observed, the opponent's attack is actually from the front line. Devin Casey grabbed the idea that we had to guard Draymond tightly, then put Nicholas Batum as the second organizational core, and then make the Trail Blazers lose Green, which didn't affect much. ”

"The work we have to do next is also very clear. It is up to Zach to defend Damian Lillard and disrupt their offensive line. Bryant needs to focus all his energy on offense and organization, and you can change the game's tactics on the spot if necessary. Of course, in addition to Kobe, Norris and Hassan will be our second and third points of attack. ”

Speaking of which, Chu Xuan had already arranged a tactical change at halftime, but the effect was not very good, otherwise the Trail Blazers would not have beaten the Lakers 10:3 as soon as they came up. To put it bluntly, in the previous game, Chu Xuan lost to Devin Casey. However, this time, Chu Xuan still had a lot of confidence in the new tactical arrangement, and he didn't think that anyone would be able to make him deflated continuously.

Sure enough, after the timeout came back, the Lakers' offense immediately changed, Kobe Bryant sent 2 attacks in a row, and scored two goals with excellent individual ability, and the Lakers returned an 11:4, and the advantage returned to the Lakers' side.

That's exactly what makes the game interesting, and it's the ups and downs of the game that attracts spectators for anyone.

Kobe's stepping up had a big impact on the morale of the Lakers, and at the same time, the world's live broadcast rooms were praising Peter Pan's ability to adversity.

is the so-called adversity to look at Kobe, this is indeed true. After Kobe Bryant broke out and led a wave of climax, the subsequent game changed its flavor and became Kobe's one-man show.

However, today's one-man show has the value of a one-man show, as Bryant's performance was arguably his best individual performance in the first half of the season.

McCollum and Lillard couldn't guard Kobe, and Batum slowly came to defend him.

Batum's defense of Kobe Bryant brought a turnaround to the Lakers' style of play, Kobe Bryant began to frequently attract the defensive attention of the Trail Blazers through feints, and then according to Chu Xuan's previous tactical arrangement, he gave more offensive opportunities to the interior.

The Trail Blazers' interior line is not strong, and people like Noll and Whiteside are naturally slowly finding their senses. Although the Trail Blazers sent another Death Five, they were suppressed by the Lakers with their strong interior ability. The third quarter ended quickly, and the Lakers managed to extend the margin to 11 points. With a double-digit lead, the Lakers also took the initiative in the game.

At 11 minutes, the game came to a fork in the road. If the Trail Blazers can't fight back and let the Lakers continue to extend their lead, then it is inevitable that the Lakers will win the game today. There may be some ups and downs in the process, but it's enough to be exciting.

Chu Xuan made a lineup change, he abandoned Whiteside and instead sent in shooter Danny Green. This is a lineup of one big and four small, and Noel plays the No. 5 position in order to restrain the Trail Blazers' death five small to chase points. In terms of tactics, Chu Xuan's core coaching philosophy is to ask players to protect the inside line and not give the opponent a chance to grab rebounds. This arrangement has achieved a lot of results, Antetokounmpo and Noll have protected the interior line well, which has brought great help to the Lakers.

In fact, although the Lakers' on-court lineup is not so much one big and four small, it is better to have one inside and four outside. Because this lineup is on the floor, although it is very mobile, but there are two big men who are more than seven feet tall to protect the interior line, compared with Batum and Green of the Trail Blazers, this is the most essential advantage of the Lakers, and it is also the most fundamental impact on the game.

……

In the first few minutes of the final quarter, the Lakers played a wave of offense and extended the margin to 20 points.

Then the Trail Blazers changed formations, and although the difference was once pulled back to 15 points, Chu Xuan quickly used the combination of Downs and Noll and relied on a wave of three-point projection to give the Trail Blazers a fatal blow.

After most of the quarter, the Lakers' lead remained at about 20 points, so the Trail Blazers lost hope of winning, and the Lakers won the final game without danger.

Although there were some surprises and deviations in the final quarter, it was an extremely good game overall. The Lakers eventually defeated the Trail Blazers 115-104, and there are multiple new records in today's game.

The Lakers made 25 three-pointers in a game, breaking the all-time record for a team to shoot three-pointers in a single game.

Then there was Kobe, who was 10-of-21 from the field, including 6-of-12 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, contributing 31 points and 24 assists. The 24 assists set a new career record for Kobe, and at the same time, it was also the first time in Kobe's career that he played a "30+20" performance.

In addition, all players on the Lakers team have scored, and except for Whiteside and Thackeray, all other players have scored three-pointers, setting a new record for the number of three-pointers scored in a single game in history.

On the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant stood out and led his players to play a classic game in history.

Everyone became Kobe's background, and the players on the opponent's Trail Blazers side were no exception.

In the backcourt pair against Kobe, Lillard scored 21 points and McCollum scored 23. Aldridge had 25 points and Batum had 20 points. Although the four scored more than 20 at the same time, they were still completely overshadowed by Kobe Bryant. It is worth mentioning that Green, who claimed to be able to beat the Lakers before the game, was only 3 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers because he was taken care of by his old club.
