Under McMillan's deliberate guidance, Camby quickly adapted to the Trail Blazers' tactical system. www.biquge.info The team doesn't need him to score a lot of the time, Ye Feng, Roy and Aldridge can do most of the points, plus the old Miller, the team's firepower doesn't need to worry too much, and Camby is responsible for contributing to interior defense and rebounding, which is the foundation of his life since entering the league.

As a result, everyone has a lot less to worry about the inside, and although Camby is no longer the energetic spring man he was when he first entered the league, his athleticism has not diminished much, and he has a lot more experience. Oden is indeed very talented, and he is also the interior core that the Trail Blazers are preparing to focus on, but he is still quite immature compared to Camby. Sometimes the strength of the center is not determined by physical advantages, although it is true that some interior players are talented, but after polishing, they can better protect the interior line, which is Oden's disadvantage and Camby's advantage. Perhaps after Oden's return, the Trail Blazers will continue to offer contracts to keep Camby, and he is also a good thing for the team as Oden's backup, not to mention that the price is also very affordable.

After Roy's return, the Trail Blazers seemed to be back on track, and they went on a six-game winning streak and a five-game winning streak to move to 46-29 at the end of March, with seven games left in the regular season. No one doubts that the Trail Blazers will have another 50-game win this season, which is not easy for an injury-plagued team. However, this year's competition in the West is more fierce than in previous seasons, and now the Trail Blazers are only in sixth place in the West, which has shocked countless people. The Lakers, who replaced Ariza with Artest, retained the Western Dominance position after a short run-in, with the Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets and Jazz in second to fifth place, respectively, and the Spurs and Thunder behind the Trail Blazers are also in hot pursuit.

Although McMillan wants the team to go further, firstly, he underestimates the competition for a playoff spot in the West, and secondly, the injuries of his players have also racked his brains, so he does not put forward higher requirements for the players, but fully considers everyone's state, and from time to time rotates the main players in games that determine the probability of victory, just so that everyone can have more adequate rest time. And the whole team is most worried about Roy, although Roy's performance after his comeback is very good, and his cooperation with his teammates is not unfamiliar, and he has scored the highest score in many games, but McMillan is always worried about his injury, because Roy's style of play is not very restrained, and he still rushes inside with the defender when he should break through with the ball as before.

He had the heart to blame Ye Feng, because fundamentally Ye Feng returned most of the ball to Roy, which gave him so much room to play. But he can't blame Ye Feng, Roy himself is the captain of the team, and he is also a person who likes to hold the ball, let him play without the ball every day, it is okay in the short term, and he may feel bad for a long time, which is very bad for the atmosphere in the locker room. However, he also couldn't understand why Roy looked like nothing had happened, and players who usually returned from injury were more cautious for fear of recurrence, although the performance was not good, but on the other hand, it could also reduce the probability of injury recurrence.

What McMillan didn't know was that Roy's thinking was completely different from him, and it was because the team was still sixth in the West that he wanted to contribute more on the court to help the team climb up a little more, and it would be better if he could finish in the top four. And Roy thinks he's in good shape and doesn't think injuries will find him again, so what's wrong with continuing to roam the court? But this kind of thing may only be something that Roy can do, oh no, there is another person, Kobe Bryant can also do it nine times out of ten, and for them, the team's record is the most important thing to consider.

Before they know it, there are only three games left, and the trip to Los Angeles against the Lakers is the last road game for the Trail Blazers this season, which means a lot to them. However, the team's record ranking still failed to rise, and continued to be in sixth place in the West, but it was not overtaken by the Spurs and Thunder, who were ranked behind. At this moment, facing the first place in the West, winning is a fluke, and losing is normal, this is the idea of ordinary people, but the whole team of the Trail Blazers doesn't think so, they just want to teach the Lakers a hard lesson, telling everyone that even if they are trapped by injuries, they still have the strength to match the giants.

It wasn't McMillan's idea, but after knowing what the players were saying, he acquiesced. Because now it seems that the team is basically a sure thing to make the playoffs, but now that the Trail Blazers have suffered a wave of injuries, they may not do anything in the playoffs, and if they want to fight their way, they must first play their own momentum, and the Lakers are undoubtedly better targets than the last two home opponents, the Thunder and the Warriors. If they can beat this opponent, it will be a good incentive for the Trail Blazers to make the playoffs, and maybe even make it to the second round.

But the Lakers are by no means weak, especially at home, although Los Angeles is not the home of the famous devils, but the cheers of the fans are not weak, plus the Lakers themselves are strong, it is indeed very difficult for the Trail Blazers to counterattack. But the whole team is holding back their energy to prove themselves at the Staples Center and give a resounding slap in the face to those who underestimate the Trail Blazers. Roy is even more excited, feeling that his condition has never been better, he has no intention of saving energy for the playoffs, he can play a little longer, this victory is definitely very important.

Ye Feng doesn't feel much about the Lakers anymore, anyway, he has to deal with Artest, the old rival in the playoffs last season. In fact, strictly speaking, he prefers to meet Artest rather than Ariza, because Ariza will continue to improve under his blow, and it will be more difficult to deal with next time, and Artest has been stereotyped and older than Ariza , he doesn't think that the Lakers replacing Artest with Ariza is a failure, Kobe Bryant needs instant combat power to help him hit the championship again, but for him, it is true that Ariza is more difficult to deal with, and Artest is a good opponent.

However, the Lakers' lead is not very large, I wonder if they will fight hard for this game?
