As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The referee gave Noah Vonleh an offensive foul and a technical foul, in the referee's opinion, it was Noah Vonleh who took the initiative to provoke trouble, and the last time he deliberately overturned Green had almost caused a conflict, and this time it came again.

As for Noah vonleh's complaints...... The referee complained that he had seen too much.

The physical contact between the two teams gradually increased, and the ensuing game was very difficult on the sidelines, with people fouling and people walking to the free throw line.

The game began to move in the direction that the Lakers wanted, and when the physical contact increased, the game went to the stronger team, not just the Lakers' more casual actions that led to consecutive fouls when the penalty scale was strict.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Lakers relied on stronger individual ability to shoot goals when the physical confrontation was strong, and the Trail Blazers had no chance to shoot easily after the confrontation, and began to play iron continuously, and the morale that had begun to decline because of two consecutive "malicious" offensive fouls further fell, and when it came to the official timeout, the Lakers successfully overtook one point 41-40!

The Lakers sent Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside, and the Trail Blazers sent Lillard, Crabbe, Henderson, Noah Vonleh, and Plumlee.

Lillard basically played the first quarter and pulled the score away with a group of weak teammates, but after half a quarter, this group of teammates buried the lead that they had finally won, which was also fatal.

When he returned, Lillard had to continue to pick it up on his own.

But a little different from the first quarter is that the referee's blowing scale began to loosen due to a large number of fouls caused by a large number of confrontations, which allowed Liu Ren to unscrupulously stick to the defense.

The referee can't continue to blow the whistle for Liu Ren's constant physical contact with Lillard, so he can't blow all the players on both teams! And there are enough free throws in the second quarter, and if they blow like the first quarter, they will be asked by the league for coffee at the end of the game, and this game is about to become a referee-led game.

Lillard is indeed strong, yes, but when their morale drops and his teammates begin to doubt that he can beat the Lakers in an upset, he can only come by himself, but he has enough to deal with Liu Ren's defense, let alone the terrifying team of the Lakers.

Liu Ren focused on defending Lillard, most of the time on the offensive end only opened up space to save physical strength, he knows the current situation very well, Lillard is the only remaining player with a strong fighting spirit, as long as he plays hard to consume him and prevent him from lying down, there will be no big problem in this game.

It's not just Liu Ren who uses defense to consume Lillard here, the Lakers only need Lillard to defend whoever they want.

Here, Lillard was just prevented by Liu Ren from shooting, and turned around to defend Liu Ren, Liu Ren, who was just opening up the space, immediately asked for the ball from Antetokounmpo, and then the tank burst into the three-second zone to shoot from the middle distance, regardless of whether he scored or not, Antetokounmpo had already gone in and rushed to the rebound with Green and Whiteside, and his purpose was to consume Lillard in all aspects.

In the next round, Lillard didn't defend Liu Ren, who was supposed to be a pitcher who opened up space, but went to defend Kobe Bryant, who was a pitcher just now, and then Kobe Bryant also singled......

And Kobe's singles are not as straightforward as Liu Ren, Lillard was crushed by Liu Ren, that is, he was run over in more than a second, despair is despair, but just for a moment.

Kobe Bryant's current singles are a kind of torture for defenders, he is not fast, he gives you a chance to keep up, he is not explosive, he gives you space to defend, he bounces not so well, gives you a chance to shoot and defend......

But, I just can't prevent it!

If it weren't for the tall, fast and strong defensive small forward who specifically restrained Kobe, his single play efficiency would still be extremely high.

Lillard feels like the kind of guy who knows you're doing everything well, but Kobe Bryant can still find an opportunity to shoot the ball, and that's where the mental level is the most tiring.

When the morale was suppressed by the other party, and even the psychological level began to collapse, the Pioneers were finally crushed.

After Lillard came up, he couldn't resist the strength suppression of the Lakers' side, and after halftime, the difference had been stretched to ten points by the Lakers.

62-52, the Lakers reversed by 18 points in the second quarter.

The Trail Blazers lost by eighteen points in a single quarter, and the momentum they originally wanted to overturn the Lakers was annihilated, for a weak team like the Trail Blazers, the momentum is gone, and the second half of the Lakers' Clarkson, McCollum, Nick Young, Monroe, and Gasol's lineup was sent out that was stronger than the Trail Blazers' starters, and the Trail Blazers collapsed in the third quarter, and the Lakers scored 33-19 in a single quarter, and the game went into garbage time.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 121-97 and refused to make it 1-1!

The Lakers were not killed by the Trail Blazers, which made the long-awaited "peers" very resentful, especially the Warriors and Spurs, who faced two difficult opponents, and the Lakers were lucky to meet a team that had nothing but Lillard.

Speaking of which, the Trail Blazers did it themselves, and McCollum was sent away by them, and every time McCollum played the Trail Blazers, he scored 22 points from the bench in this second game, which was the most points on the Lakers' bench.

There is also Will Barton of the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers sent him to the Nuggets for a second round and an unknown European big man who was cut after half a year, Barton averaged a double-double in points per game in the second half of the 14-15 season, and Barton played 82 games off the bench this season, averaging 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, all of which are among the best sixth man favorites.

The Spurs made it themselves, and they had a chance to overtake the Lakers in the early stage to take the second, but they didn't want to meet the Grizzlies in the first round, and they had been waiting and watching, and they were afraid of what would come, and they really met the Grizzlies directly in the playoffs.

And Curry is depressed, why is it so difficult for them to get the best record in the first round?

……

……

The Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and judging from the situation of the two teams in the second half, the Trail Blazers still did not pose the slightest threat to the Lakers as expected before the start of the playoffs.

The Lakers didn't have much suspense to get a winning streak, and the other teams continued to play with a 1-1 score.

However, a strong team is a strong team after all, and it is a rare scene every year after all, the Warriors went to Dallas with a 1-1 disadvantage to play away, and they all said that the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, but this is not the case in the NBA, the NBA is a place where strength is king, because of the contempt was robbed of the home court advantage by the Mavericks, the Warriors came to Dallas and went away directly, playing a bloody 120-87 bloody massacre, and easily snatched the home court advantage back.

On the side of the Clippers and the Thunder, the Clippers took advantage of the power of the home court and the 1-1 wind direction in the first round to defend a home court, but the home court advantage was still robbed by the Thunder, and when they arrived at the Thunder's home court, they did not have much power to fight back against the Thunder, Paul was restrained by Westbrook, no one in the Durant Clippers team could defend it, and the Thunder team did not give the Clippers a chance, and they firmly held the home court to score 2-1.

It's a little more difficult for the Spurs, with a 1-1 score to the home court of the Grizzlies, and Grizzlies fans hate the Spurs! Since 2011, the Spurs have defeated the Grizzlies in the playoffs several times, especially in the 2013 Western Conference Finals, the Spurs eliminated the Grizzlies, ruining the Grizzlies' closest chance to a championship, and the Spurs came to Memphis again, as long as their players got the ball, the court was full of boos, and the confrontation between the two teams was also strong, and the rhythm of the game seemed to be back to ten years ago, the two teams played an extremely low score, and finally the Grizzlies held the first home court, defeating the Spurs 89-84.

The Spurs are not discouraged either, and their goal is simply to win one of the two away games and just take home advantage back and fall 2-1 down.

On the Eastern side, after James was upset by Paul George in the first game, he actually won 113-90 in the second game against the Pacers, and the media blew the curse very much, in fact, the Pacers had no room to struggle in the second game, and there was not much suspense in the next game......
