Camby's arrival undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Trail Blazers, although everyone didn't say it before, but they did feel the embarrassment of damaged interior strength in the game, especially after the team's only two frame-protecting centers were all injured, the opponent's assaulter was simply taking what he wanted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Second Uncle Huo is really hard, but no matter how hard he fights, he can't change his height of 2.06 meters and his age of 34 years old.

With Camby, the team has undoubtedly erected an inside barrier, and Aldridge can spare more energy to score. Although he has a lot of respect for Second Uncle Huo, it is undeniable that when he and Second Uncle Huo start together, he has to pay attention to assisting and supplementing defense at all times, and he also has to fight for rebounds. Belch...... Well, it seems like grabbing rebounds is his job in itself, but Aldridge has never been a tough rebounder, at best at an upper-middle level, and has never averaged more than eight rebounds per game in a single season. Now he is the happiest partner with Camby on the inside.

After beating the Clippers, the Trail Blazers have two home games against the Celtics and Jazz, both of which are teams with excellent interior lines. Although the Celtics' Garnett is no longer the style of the Timberwolves, he is definitely a strong interior line with an offensive and defensive integration and a tactical system, and has been hailed as one of the most powerful forwards in history; Although the Jazz's Boozer is very low, his shooting skills and low post back singles are very strong, and the combination of him and Deron Williams has been called a new generation of "Utah doubles", which can be compared to Malone + Stockton. Not to mention that both teams have attackers who can go straight to the basket, if there is no Camby, Uncle Huo and Aldridge alone will definitely not be able to stop it.

There was no way, in order to defend his home turf, McMillan put Camby in the starting lineup after a mere day of joint practice. He knew it was a bit rushed, but now that it's February and there are just over 20 games left until the end of the regular season, the only option for new signings to integrate into the team as soon as possible is to substitute for training. As a veteran, Camby has no objections to the coach's arrangement, and he knows very well why the Trail Blazers traded him with two important substitutes (one of which is a long-term starter), which is obviously because of his prowess in interior defense, and he also needs to fight for a better ranking for the team in the playoffs as soon as possible, so it makes sense to be on the court right away.

However, when facing the Celtics, who are led by the Big Three, Camby still showed an unaccustomed side, often letting go of the opponent's empty players when defending inside, and even colliding with Aldridge when grabbing rebounds. But McMillan gritted his teeth and asked him to stay on the court as long as possible, especially with a few other starters, he knew that this was just a temporary and a half uncomfortable, as a defensive center, he only needed to do some blocking and secondary offensive things on the offensive end, and the main focus was still on the defensive end, in other words, it would not take long to adapt to the tactical system.

Even so, the Trail Blazers had to swallow the bitter pill of the loss, which also saw them drop to fifth in the West, and only 1.5 wins away from sixth. While Pierce, the Celtics' overall leading scorer, struggled with nine points, one assist and one steal, Garnett had 16 points and seven rebounds, and under his cover, Ray Allen scored 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting, along with three rebounds and five assists. Against Garnett, Camby only scored 2 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game, and was almost completely blown out, which made him feel sorry for the manager's trust in him.

However, McMillan did not give up, he firmly believed that this was a normal run-in period, and Camby's role for the team was unmatched, so he insisted that Camby continue to start the next game against the Jazz. The Jazz's starting interior line is Millsap and Boozer, strictly speaking, they are also a pair of power forwards like Aldridge + Huo Ershu before, but the characteristics of Millsap and Boozer inside and outside have caused many interior players who are taller than them to have a headache. It's the same with Camby, who hates this kind of ranged interior line the most, but for the Trail Blazers, he just needs to protect the basket.

Sure enough, Boozer and Millsap pulled up the high post in the opening game, and their shooting touch was also quite good, using mid-range jumpers to score points one after another. But it was Roy who took over the game on the Trailblazers' side, and Ye Feng also cooperated to play without the ball. In fact, although Aldridge welcomes Camby's joining the most, when it comes to the player who has the best cooperation with Camby in the whole team, it must be Ye Feng. In order to fully integrate Camby into the team, Ye Feng ran to chat with Camby when he had nothing to do, and he also learned a lot of small habits that Camby was familiar with, so that the cooperation would be much smoother.

Because of the transformation to a no-ball style of play, many times Ye Feng directly let Camby pull to a high position to make a wall for himself, and then he can throw off the defender and impact the inside. Ye Feng must admit that Camby's cover is very set, although he is not the kind of wide and strong interior player, but the cover angle he chooses is very good, and the players who mark Ye Feng, such as Kirilenko, must go around to continue to follow the defense, and the squeeze is not squeezed. In addition, Ye Feng has adapted to Kirilenko's defense in the first few games against the Jazz, so he is completely at home in this game.

After a hard-fought overtime, the Trail Blazers struggled to win the Jazz 100-96, with Roy contributing 18 points and 13 assists, and Ye Feng scoring a game-high 32 points and eight rebounds. As for Camby, he scored just six points in the game, but he did enough to contribute where the Trail Blazers needed him the most - he grabbed 18 rebounds, including a staggering eight from the frontcourt, and also handed out four blocks along the way. Although Boozer recorded a big double-double of 22 points and 23 rebounds, he couldn't help Camby on the inside, and half of Camby's four blocks were given to him.

That's the benefit of having a good center, and I have to admire the vision of the Trail Blazers management. What the team needs now is not to score inside, Aldridge is enough, rebounds and blocks are what the team desperately needs, and Camby has proven that he is the best in these two statistics, with Camby, the Trail Blazers have more confidence, and temporarily dilute their injury worries.
