Chapter 261: This Takes It?

Occasionally something very magical happens in a game of basketball, and we can only call it luck. In the absence www.biquge.info of any external stimulus, one or some players will suddenly feel like a god, as long as they shoot the ball into the basket, regardless of whether the shooting posture is beautiful or ugly, people can shoot and score, how to shoot, how to shoot, what can you do at this time? Isn't it just a matter of pinching your nose and praying that your opponent's state won't last too long?

The Trail Blazers are in such a magical state right now, with an inhibiting shooting percentage. And I don't know if it's because of the beginning of the game, their defense is simply a mad dog, and they won't let go if they catch you, so strong that the Lakers think that the first two games were played by fake Trail Blazers. At first, they thought that the Trail Blazers were just a few rounds away, but when they saw that the Trail Blazers had stubbornly maintained this state of not fearing death for three minutes, everyone was stunned, and they even had a ridiculous feeling: This group of guys can't be doping before the game, right?

I complained in my heart, the game had to continue to play, but the Trail Blazers players were really annoying, except for Miller and Camby, the other three people could pounce as long as they saw the ball carrier like a hungry wolf seeing a large piece of meat. Ye Feng said that Aldridge, a guy who is heavy on offense and light on defense, actually does not skimp on his physical strength, and follows Odom to the death, as long as the opponent gets the ball, he will be stuck behind him, and the advantage in strength makes Odom frown. Although Roy wants to play against Kobe, Ye Feng does not change defenses with him frequently, because facing Artest is a more dangerous thing, this guy is not only contributing to the defensive end of the Lakers, but also a real attacker on the offensive end, Roy is still more suitable for a technical flow like Kobe, and Artest is not sure when the leg injury will recur. Among the outside players in the entire starting lineup, Ye Feng can withstand Artest's body, so he can only let Roy defend Kobe.

Of course, Roy also knew that he didn't have a particularly good way to face Kobe, and he was able to keep up with Kobe Bryant with his movement speed and reflexes, but now he didn't dare to do these actions that were too heavy on his body. However, he also has his own little abacus, even if he can't defend Kobe Bryant on the defensive end, there are not many people in the whole team who can defend Kobe Bryant one-on-one, as long as he gets it back on the offensive end. Isn't it just to score against Kobe? Although Roy has been injured, he doesn't think it's a difficult thing to do, and besides, don't there still be so many teammates?

Throughout the first 10 minutes of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers maintained strong offensive firepower, not to mention that they could completely match the Lakers on the inside today, and even sometimes even have a slight advantage. Camby's presence undoubtedly added an insurance to the Trail Blazers' rebounding, after all, he was originally based on this, and the Lakers very weirdly shot like shit, and he was happy to brush defensive rebounds under his own basket alone. Camby is self-aware, and he knows what the Trail Blazers need to do to trade him over, so he almost completely doesn't ask for the ball in the low post, just scoring through pick-and-rolls and secondary offense.

However, in the first quarter, his second offense didn't work at all, because the others were a little wicked. Roy is 3 of 4, Miller is 3 of 5, Ye Feng is 5 of 7, Aldridge is 4 of 5, and this little offensive rebound is not enough for Camby! However, he is very happy about this situation, grabbing offensive rebounds is much more tiring than grabbing defensive rebounds, not to mention that the opponent must be heavily guarded under the basket, and the psychological pressure of grabbing defensive rebounds is much smaller than that of offensive rebounds.

What left Phil speechless was that even after the two sides switched to the bench together, the Trail Blazers players were just as if they were playing chicken blood, shooting decisively and defensively, not at all like a team that lost in the last game, and it looked like they were stronger than the Lakers. The Lakers' bench players are not bad, but there are no full-time defenders, let alone offense and defense like Kobe and Artest. On the contrary, the Trail Blazers showed strong rebounding ability, and their outside shooting was booming, and by the end of the first quarter, they had a 15-point lead over the Lakers.

This embarrassed the Purple and Gold, which was no different from being pinned to the ground by the Trailblazers and slapping them incessantly. We're the number one in the West, okay? We're the one who is stronger, okay? How did we dig such a big hole for ourselves now? The Lakers will be completely confused, indeed, in the 12 minutes of their own shooting frequently hit the iron, the opponent shot repeatedly, there are really few people can be calm. Of course, Phil himself was not as calm as before, and he was a little irritated to write and draw on the tactics board, trying to design a better strategy for the team.

But it can't be helped, there are some things that tactics can't make up for, such as the resilience and ruthlessness of the Blazers. The performance at the beginning of the second quarter proved that their excellent hand in the first quarter was just a flash in the pan, and there were only three outside players who really continued to maintain, among which Roy also significantly reduced the number of his shots, after all, he was the one who was going to play against Kobe, and he didn't want to make mistakes and didn't want to give the opponent rebounds, so it was better to pass the ball out early. But the Lakers' life is still not very good, because the Trail Blazers are still as fierce as ever on the defensive end, but the strange thing is that they can control their emotions well, and no one has received a technical foul because of the deliberate provocation of the Lakers players, at most it is just a personal foul.

In fact, this is an incredible thing, under normal circumstances, this kind of action is a bit big defense means that the players are more irritable in their hearts, and they need to release their inner anger in this way, so that they can do it if they provoke a few times, and at this time it is light to eat a technical foul, and maybe they will be sent off directly. But the Trail Blazers are different, they are calm hearts under the furious performance, completely ignoring the trash talk of the Lakers players, anyway, as long as they see someone get the ball, they will pounce in an organized and disciplined manner, and they want to hang on the other side.

So although they didn't score like they did in the first quarter, the Lakers' offense was still very difficult, and the point difference was about to go for 20 points.
