Chapter 159: The substitute is even more terrifying

It wasn't until the game officially started that McMillan understood why Phil was one of the best coaches in history and he wasn't, the Lakers' small lineup seemed to have no awareness of being tall at all, and the triangle offense was playing vigorously, and what was even more terrifying was that when it came time to grab rebounds, except for Fisher, the other four people would all rush to the basket to compete for rebounds, and it was clear who would get the card and who would grab the board. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is no way, Ye Feng can only focus on rebounding, Oden alone can't rob the entire Lakers team, and a tiger can't beat a group of wolves. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers stabilized their position on the offensive end, and the outside feel was quite hot, Roy hit two three-pointers alone, and Blake and Batum also added icing on the cake, so that they could be a draw with the Lakers. But McMillan frowned, such a scene is not what he wants to see, Ye Feng's role on the offensive end has been completely abolished, the Lakers' defense is very tight, and he can't organize the offense with the ball.

On the contrary, Kobe Bryant completely ignored Batum's defense as nothing, and the height disadvantage was no longer a disadvantage for him. Batum is inexperienced after all, and Kobe's feints have already been tempered and can be simplified, whether it is a heavy shoulder, a tentative step or a mere look, they have returned to their most original role, playing handsome or something has long been not Kobe's consideration, all his actions are born for the last goal. How could Batum have just gotten such an old monster? Even Ye Feng is often deceived by Kobe's feints, let alone Batum.

However, Ye Feng still pretended to turn a blind eye to the strong firepower of the outside line, and fed the ball to the inside line when he had nothing to do, so angry that McMillan jumped straight to his feet on the sidelines. I wanted to take advantage of the timeout to teach him a good lesson, but before he could take the timeout, McMillan was surprised to find that there seemed to be nothing wrong with doing so. The Lakers' defensive formation is well maintained, but the height advantage cannot be changed by any formation. Oden maintained a fairly high efficiency on the inside, whether it was receiving the ball directly and dunking directly after getting to the position, he showed ease and even provided an assist to the outside after attracting the defense.

It is precisely because Ye Feng and Oden continue to attract the Lakers' defense in the high and low positions of the interior that the pressure on the outside is greatly reduced, otherwise with Kobe's scoring ability alone, coupled with Fisher and Ariza's three-point shots from time to time, the Trail Blazers can announce their surrender in advance. But the main force can withstand the Lakers, and the substitute may not be okay, Phil started with a small lineup, and the result is that there are "twin towers" in the bench lineup, and the interior line of the starting level like Gasol and Bynum is not something that Purzbilla can block, and Ade can't either. The only thing to be thankful for is that Ade also felt good in this game, and he continued to hit mid-range shots to prevent the Lakers' bench from beating himself directly to the point that he couldn't turn over.

But relying on shooting is never the way to go, and no matter how high Ade's shooting percentage is, he can't get a shot every round. The Lakers players are very eye-catching and go directly to the bag, which means that Ade must pass the ball out, otherwise he is likely to be directly stealed, and others do not have a shooting rate like him, and he keeps playing iron on the court, but most of the rebounds are taken away by the Lakers' inside. Bynum is the age of blood and strength, and he was a little unhappy to be on the bench, and of course he went all out when he saw that there were rebounds to grab, and Purzbila could only watch him put one rebound after another into his arms, sighing with joy.

In less than six minutes of the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' bench lineup dug a big hole for the starters, and the evenly matched situation became one-sided. In desperation, McMillan sent Roy in advance, hoping that he could lead the bench to bring back the disadvantage. Originally, Roy couldn't save the team by himself, but there was still Ade on the court, and the Trail Blazers twins quickly found their style of play last season, and the continuous blocking and splitting of the ball was vigorous, slowly narrowing the score gap. But Bynum has shown his talent, using his strong rim protection to show why he's the starting center for most of this season for the Lakers.

He is young, but the talent is really not to be said, the huge body has a completely unscientific turning speed and bounce ability, although occasionally because he is too aggressive to interfere with the ball, but Roy also began to become cautious in front of him. What's more, there is a Gasol next to him, who thinks he is a soft egg is just some idiots who only look at the surface, Gasol is not only experienced, but also quite tough, he will never back down when he comes forward, and the two of them form an iron wall on the inside, forcing Roy to learn to score points with mid-range shooting like Kobe.

In the bench competition, the Lakers completely focused on the interior offense, forming a simple and effective inside-out strategy, Gasol's back-to-back single and Bynum's explosive bounce under the basket put a lot of pressure on the Trail Blazers, unknowingly narrowing the scope of defense, resulting in a huge gap on the outside. Fortunately, the outside of the Lakers' bench lineup doesn't feel so good, otherwise how could Roy alone be compared to the indiscriminate bombardment of several opponents?

Ye Feng, who was watching the game from the sidelines, didn't understand why Phil didn't put this powerful interior combination in the starting lineup, but instead let Odom and Vujacic play the starting inside line, maybe he just wanted to try a different lineup? If you look down on the pioneers, let's just say it, what's the deal with using it as a whetstone? In fact, Phil is really practicing the lineup, after all, the triangle offense can't cover the world, even if it is the weapon he is most familiar with, it will bring him the most honor. It's not bad to play a small lineup at this time, and in his opinion, the Trail Blazers' big score in the second game was a pure accident.

For McMillan, if the bench can't beat it, will it be fatal, will he have to fight the Lakers in the fourth quarter? You must know that the Lakers players have much more playoff experience than the Trail Blazers, so if you want to win, how can you not punch the master to death at the beginning? This is the team's first home game in this round of the series, and no one wants to lose, even if it is opposite the Lakers, who are the first in the West, McMillan's chaotic mind occasionally flashes a thought: I knew that I should have raised the ranking again, and who could stand it in the second round against the first in the West?

But it's just a small thought, and the game has to go on, isn't it?
