After beating the Suns in Game 1, the Trail Blazers breathed a sigh of relief and regained their fighting spirit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 They believe that although the Suns are third in the West, there is nothing to fear, the gap between third and sixth is not as big as that of first and eighth, plus the first game has always controlled the tempo, and there is a good hope of reaching the second round, and they also want to win the second home court of the Suns in one go.

But Ye Feng doesn't think so, he believes that Gentry and Nash will no longer joke about the victory or defeat of the playoffs, and the Suns will return to the old routine of blocking and dismantling + projection in the next game, it doesn't matter if the routine is old or not, it is easy to use, judging from the performance of the regular season, Nash and Stoudemire's blocking and dismantling tactics are powerful, plus the Suns' outside shooters, even if the center position is a little worse, they still maintain strong competitiveness. Even if the outside doesn't feel good, the double ghost shot after the block is difficult to prevent, and Nash's shot and Stoudemire's ride are enough to make the team feel a lot of pressure.

So when he saw his teammates the next day, he couldn't feel any more relaxed. The Suns are not a weak team, winning the first game may not be able to win the second game logically, continue to maintain this mentality, let alone the second game, it is estimated that they will be eliminated directly by the opponent 4-1 in the end, right? However, Ye Feng did not scold his teammates, his position in the tactical system is very important, but no matter what, this is only the second season of his career, and it is not his turn to lead the locker room in the team. If he speaks, everyone may not listen, but no one knows what those older guys think in their hearts.

Fortunately, there are still people in the team who understand, such as McMillan, as a coach, he can be said to be a man of his word in the team, and with his qualifications, he is not very afraid that the old players will not work the field. Seeing that everyone was absent-minded and laughing in the training session, McMillan threw a big tantrum at them, and he said solemnly: "Don't think that everything will be fine if you can win the first game against the Suns, they are not as easy to deal with as you think!" And the playoffs are best-of-seven, and winning the first game doesn't mean you can make it to the second round, if you continue to look down on your opponents, we'll be the ones who go home! Besides, where do you get the confidence to look down on the third team in the West? We're only sixth in the West, you idiots! ”

After scolding, McMillan was still angry, and ordered each of them to do a hundred push-ups for a long time, and not to think that everything would be fine if they won a game. Ye Feng laughed secretly while doing push-ups with everyone, it seems that the head coach still has to come out, and it seems that everyone's enthusiasm for training has begun to rise again. But then he was a little worried, after all, there is a big difference between training and competition, although everyone has promised well now, they may not use all their strength to fight during the game, and they may more or less look down on their opponents, and there will be some trouble at that time.

Ye Feng's fears soon became a reality, and in the second game on April 20, the Trail Blazers were stunned by the Suns at the beginning. Nash is back in the form of playmaking, shooting and scoring only when there is a gap, and most of the time he passes the ball directly to Stoudemire and Richardson, relying on this inside and outside two points to help the team increase the score. McMillan didn't change the starting lineup from the previous game, but Miller Sr. lost the touch of the previous game, shooting just 2 of 4 in the first quarter. But that's not the most critical, the Trail Blazers suddenly lost fire inside, Aldridge missed all 3 shots, and Camby was also interfered with by Stoudemire and Collins under the basket, although he grabbed 7 rebounds, but only 1 of 6 shots.

The Suns were in full swing under Nash's command, and although Stoudemire shot only 2 of 5, Richardson suddenly broke out, scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting and 3-of-4 three-pointers in the single quarter. There is no way to do it, although Fernandez is experienced, his physical fitness is obviously inferior to Richardson, and I don't know if it was stimulated by the last game, Richardson's empty-handed running is quite positive, and he can always run out of the gap in the Trail Blazers' defensive system, and then hit the basket. Perhaps the only good news was that the Suns' bench lineup didn't play well, and instead allowed Bayless and Batum to help the Trail Blazers close the score, trailing just 26-32 in the first quarter.

Who knew that in the second quarter, the Trailblazers collapsed instantly, and everyone seemed to be infected, and Ye Feng could only give up organizing the offense and score through individual singles. He didn't want to do that, but the other major scoring points of the Trail Blazers were all out of flames, and if he didn't step up, it was likely that the second half would turn into garbage time. However, his leaning towards the offense also allowed the Suns to find another scoring point, that is, Hill, although Hill is inevitably inferior to physical fitness, but no matter how much experience he has over the years, Ye Feng has focused on scoring, and it is inevitable that the defensive end will be a little inadequate.

That's Hill's chance. Ye Feng also admired him for running on the court at such an old age, his mid-range shooting has been introduced, and he can still find opportunities to shoot repeatedly under the cover of Stoudemire. When a fiery scoring point is paired with a playmaker with unpredictable passing, it can make opponents tired, and that's where the Trail Blazers are right now. Ye Feng is also very aggrieved, basically the entire Suns team is making the ball for Hill alone, and Nash's passes can often find gaps in the team's defensive system, and then Hill will easily catch the ball and hit it. Without Ye Feng's checks and balances, Hill became the most terrifying person in the entire second quarter of the Suns, he shot all 6 of 2-pointers but did not make a single three-pointer, did not cause a foul, and scored 12 points in a single quarter.

On the other hand, on the Trailblazers' side, Ye Feng's score accounted for the lion's share, he scored 15 points, which looked really good, but the others only scored a total of 8 points, while the Suns scored 31 points in a single quarter, that is to say, they beat the Trailblazers by 8 points in a single quarter, plus a 6-point lead in the first quarter, and the Suns entered the halftime with a huge advantage of 14 points. Looking at the Sun players who were queuing up to leave the players' tunnel, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really difficult, sure enough, the last game was just an accident, right?" The third place in the West really deserves its name, it really can't be underestimated, I don't know what will change in the second half? ”
