There are a lot of things on the basketball court that are a double-edged sword, like age. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A lot of times, being older means having a lot of experience, and being older means having a lot of experience, which is an important factor in the game of basketball. But there are some special moments, age will also become a disadvantage, after all, it is rare to see a 40-year-old player like Malone who is still a devil muscleman, and most players will decline their physical functions as they get older, and they will be at a relative disadvantage against young people at this time.

For example, now.

Originally, the Lakers' starting lineup was older than the Trail Blazers' lineup, although it was limited, but that was because the Trail Blazers' starting lineup included Miller and Camby, two old guys, which suddenly pulled up the average age of the five people. In addition, Ye Feng, Batum and Aldridge are all young people who are alive and well, and it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers players to be beautiful in terms of physical strength. And in order to give Miller and Camby some rest, McMillan replaced Fernandez and Ayers, which further reduced the average age of the Trail Blazers' players on the court and brought more impact to the Lakers.

Phil also considered putting the bench players on the court for a while, at least to give players like Kobe Bryant and Artest plenty of rest time for a whole game, but when he saw the Trail Blazers' lineup, he reluctantly gave up on the idea. The opponent took out a lineup of three starters and two substitutes, among the two substitutes, Fernandez also has the strength to start, and Ayers is the only substitute in the strict sense, and he is still responsible for doing the dirty work. Phil didn't dare to bet, he could imagine what it would be like if he was replaced as a substitute, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for everyone else to score except for Bynum, right?

I have to admit that McMillan's substitution is very targeted, and Fernandez can still provide the team with strong outside firepower, which makes the Trail Blazers still have the strongest scoring weapon in their hands. Although Ayers is only 2.06 meters tall, strictly speaking, he is only a big forward, but he was born in 1987 and is only 23 years old this year, much younger than Gasol and Odom, and his strength and bounce are also very good, rushing to grab frontcourt rebounds is a good hand, backcourt rebounds are not bad, even if it is still a little tender, but it is enough for the Trail Blazers.

As soon as overtime began, Ayers proved his bounce ability in front of the Lakers' interior line. Facing Gasol, who was a full 7 centimeters taller than himself, Ayers had no fear, and when the referee threw the ball into the air, the whole person jumped up like a rocket, and before Gasol's fingers touched the basketball, he put the racket in the direction of Ye Feng, and then rushed to the Lakers' basket without hesitation after landing on the ground. As a rookie selected by the team last year, he has great trust in several players in the team, for example, this time he gave the racket to Ye Feng and then went straight to the Lakers' inside, completely ignoring what would happen if Ye Feng didn't receive the ball.

Of course, Ye Feng did not disappoint him, and directly grabbed the ball into his arms before Artest stretched out his hand, but he did not hold the ball and advance quickly, but yelled: "Jeff, look at the back, catch the ball!" Before he could finish speaking, the basketball drew a straight trajectory and quickly chased in the direction of Ayres' run. Ayres looked back, grinned, slowed down, and grabbed the ball in his big fan-like hand with his right hand, followed by a violent dunk, which was also a disadvantage for the Lakers in the five minutes of overtime. After the dunk, Ayers was so excited that he and his teammates high-fived and ran back to his basket with his tongue out.

Gasol's face was ugly, he had underestimated this little guy with the height of a big forward before, but he didn't expect the bounce to be so good, he shook his head helplessly, and walked to the bottom line to prepare for the kickoff. Still as usual, Bryant went to the backcourt to catch the ball and dribbled directly past half court. This time the Trailblazers chose to change defenses, Ye Feng stood in front of Kobe, and he took a defensive posture while carefully observing Kobe's every move.

In the face of his defense, Kobe Bryant basically didn't make any feints, and directly relied on his body to eat. Rao is Ye Feng was close to him, and he still scored a goal in an unbelievable move, and then slowly walked back to his half. Looking at Kobe's walking-like movements, and then thinking about some of the details of his previous breakthrough, Ye Feng was thoughtful, it was obvious that Kobe's physical strength had reached a critical point, should he immediately use run-and-bomb tactics to defeat them?

Because McMillan gave Ye Feng the right to act arbitrarily on the field, when he told his teammates his ideas, basically no one objected, and even Aldridge, who seemed a little unbearable, supported his idea and said that he would do his best to complete his task. After the restart, the five players of the Trail Blazers rushed to the Lakers' half court with great momentum, no one stood still, everyone kept running, constantly passing, trying to completely tear the Lakers' defensive system apart, so as to create more gaps.

As Ye Feng expected, several players of the Lakers have reached the limit of their physical strength, how can they withstand such a rush? After four or five passes, Fernandez was open on the perimeter and hit an easy three-pointer. This three-pointer seemed to start the signal for the Trail Blazers to kill everything, they ran harder on the court, and teammates would definitely pass the ball when they had a better opportunity, and this kind of team cooperation made the Lakers players complain and start to scatter their steps. Phil is even more entangled at this time, now that the Trail Blazers' morale is high, if he is replaced by a substitute, he will not be beaten by them?

While he was hesitating, the Trail Blazers had already played a wave of 12-4 climax, widening the margin to eight points. The Lakers' 4 points were all scored by Kobe Bryant alone, but how many nails can he hit even if he is covered in iron? As the minutes ticked by, the Lakers were never able to close the gap, and their physical disadvantage was exposed, in stark contrast to the vigor of the Trail Blazers players. At this time, McMillan didn't plan to replace Miller and Camby, he saw that Ye Feng's decision directly hit the Lakers' soft underbelly, since it worked wonders, then there was no need to sabotage it, right?

The cheers of the fans in the stadium were loud, but no matter how loud they were, they couldn't stop the Lakers from losing. When the final whistle blew, the Trail Blazers players hugged each other in the face of boos, and the numbers on the scoreboard were clear as the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers 118-108 to advance to the Finals.
