McMillan is a more stable manager, the other side of stability means that he will not make big changes to the team's starting lineup before encountering setbacks, the first playoff game has proved that the strategy of using Aldridge as the scoring arrow works, so he has no intention of changing, and the second game still lined up the same starting lineup, and clearly instructed the team to attack around Aldridge.

Regarding the head coach's arrangement, Ye Feng, as the core of the tactics, has no resistance, he is not the kind of player who has to concentrate all the ball in his hands at any time. Besides, even if Aldridge becomes the main point of attack of the team, he will still be the tactical initiator, and it will not make any difference at all. And Ye Feng prefers the feeling of strategizing, charging into battle as a hero looks good, but it is a very tiring job.

As an opponent, Nuggets head coach Karl scratched his head at the Trail Blazers' starting list, and he didn't think of what tactics to use to limit Aldridge for the time being, and the only way to do it was to use Chandler to defend the big one. First of all, Chandler is a small forward, but he can swing to the power forward position, and his physical fitness is quite good, there is no disadvantage in strength, even if Aldridge shoots, he can block with his bounce.

So this time Carl's lineup change is even crazier, Lawson and Felton in the backcourt form a double point guard, small forward JR Smith, big forward Chandler, center Gallinari, this starting lineup is simply blinding the eyes of experts and fans. It's a really small lineup, with a height disadvantage in almost every position, and the only advantage is that it's fast, even faster than after replacing Nene with JR in the last game, which is their biggest killer feature. Karl's idea is very simple, just bet on Chandler's one-on-one single defense, resolutely not wrap up, the defensive end is mainly marked, and the offensive end is more converted offense to avoid falling into positional warfare.

At first, the Trail Blazers were really caught off guard by this strange lineup, except for a mid-range shot by Aldridge and a three-pointer from Miller, the Trail Blazers didn't score anyone else in the first three minutes of the opening game, and the Nuggets played a 12-5 mini-climax. They did a lot of problems for Aldridge at the defensive end, receiving the ball a few times, but only hitting one of three shots.

Ye Feng immediately changed the head coach's tactics, allowing Matthews and himself to take turns holding the ball to break through, and open up space for teammates by threatening the Nuggets' baskets. In order to give Aldridge space to shoot, Ye Feng often summoned Camby to the high post to block and dismantle, and then Ye Feng broke through with the ball, and Camby blocked and dismantled and attacked the basket together, which would force the Nuggets to wrap up, which gave Aldridge an opportunity to shoot in the open position. Even if the Nuggets' defensive rotation is relatively fast, Aldridge can use his height advantage to directly redistribute the ball outside the three-point line and let the outside player shoot three-pointers.

Under Ye Feng's on-the-spot command, the Trail Blazers quickly stabilized their position and began to score under the Nuggets' separate defenses. The requirements for the defender before the break may be greater, and his pass must be well passed around the defense to his teammates, which is not a difficult thing for Ye Feng. But with his cautious attitude to the game, it is more efficient to block and dismantle than to let his teammates play alone after directly hanging the ball, so he simply kept using blocking and dismantling tactics to attack, which directly hit the Nuggets' soft underbelly.

Aldridge became the Nuggets' nightmare again, he scored 12 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, teamed up with Camby to defend the team's restricted area, and was able to make trouble under the opponent's basket. Chandler's front wrapping was still somewhat effective at first, but since Ye Feng began to play blocking and dismantling with Camby, he had to help defend Ye Feng with his teammates when he was put in the No. 4 position, which made Aldridge often in the open position. Of course, he also tried to quickly turn back to defend Aldridge, but the opponent did not give him a chance, and with their height difference, as long as Aldridge made a gesture and Chandler was not in place, he was basically unable to stop it.

Karl sighed, he could only choose to sacrifice part of his mobility, using Gallinari to play the fourth position, and Nene to play the fifth position, although this would slow down the team's speed, but Gallinari's height was there after all, and it was relatively flexible, maybe he could limit Aldridge, so as to give Nene the task of hand-to-hand combat with Camby under the basket. Such a substitution is good, but the Nuggets' outside line is very unaccustomed to it, and they still follow the previous small lineup style of play, so many times the Trail Blazers are five-on-four on the defensive end, after all, Nene has not kept up.

The Nuggets used Gallinari to limit Aldridge, but in turn, Gallinari was also pinned down by Aldridge, receiving the ball but unable to complete the offense at all. In this way, the Nuggets' offensive responsibilities can only be piled on Chandler and Lawson, Chandler is good to say, he plays relatively steadily, and the scoring efficiency is not low, but Lawson is a nerve knife, no one can stop him, and it is no problem to put him three meters away when he is not accurate, and today is just when he is not on the spot.

The key problem is that Lawson is obviously not good at hand, but he is still unwilling to pass the ball to his teammates, and his iron has basically become the rebounding ball of the Trail Blazers' interior players, provoking Karl to directly replace him and switch to the more secure Felton game. But Felton is safe, he has begun to develop horizontally when he is in shape, and the ball control organization is okay, and it is really difficult for him to take on the responsibility of scoring.

When the Nuggets fell into the dilemma of no one scoring, the Trail Blazers blossomed inside and out, Aldridge successfully contained the Nuggets' interior line, making the outside line a one-on-one battlefield most of the time, and this kind of defense is of course Ye Feng's favorite. In the second quarter, he scored 15 points on 5-of-6 three-point shooting, helping the Trail Blazers quickly stretch the score to more than 20 points.

Therefore, the NBA admires superstar basketball many times, not only because stars can bring more income and exposure, but more importantly, stars have the ability to decide the outcome of a game at critical moments. Maybe the Nuggets were still confidently preparing to fight to the death with the Trail Blazers, but Ye Feng instantly dispelled this idea, this is the role of stars in the game.
