Chapter 253: Dead Horses Become Live Horse Doctors

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers trailed by 13 points, and now there are only two paths in front of McMillan, either to start Camby in the second half and further strengthen the interior lineup, or to go black and play a faster small lineup. www.biquge.info There are pros and cons to both situations, and sending Camby can certainly guarantee rebounding, but Odom will not make the Trail Blazers' interior any better, and his mobility is likely to give Camby a headache;

It's okay to rush to grab rebounds, and defending around the front is really a way to kill the enemy with a thousand self-losses and eight hundred, and sometimes it may be even more self-damage. Once the Lakers hang the ball in and let the inside player receive the ball, as long as a simple turn, the basket is a flat river, and at this time, even if he comes forward to foul, he may be beaten into a 2+1 by the opponent, which is definitely worth the loss. And Odom is very good at controlling his fouls, after all, he is an old fritter who has been in the league for many seasons, and these basic skills are still good, so that he will pose a greater threat to the Trail Blazers' basket.

But McMillan, after much deliberation, was ready to take the second approach, sending on an even crazier lineup to play the rest of the game. At this time, there is nothing to hide, he is ready to play a three-guard lineup, since the Lakers' outside defense is strong, then try to develop more outside scoring points to make them take care of the other, and the best candidate is Miller. However, he did not plan to replace Bayless with Miller, but used Miller and Bayless as the team's backcourt, Roy took the No. 3 position, Ye Feng replaced Batum as the team's power forward, and Aldridge continued to play as the center.

There are two advantages to this, first, although Miller Sr. is about the same as Fisher in terms of height and weight, and his speed is not as fast as in his peak, it is more than enough compared to Fisher, and he can easily beat Fisher, which adds a new scoring point to the Trail Blazers, and if Kobe Bryant turns to focus on him, the other two guards can divide one person to continue to bully Fisher, which makes the Lakers' outside defense stretched. Second, Ye Feng can use his inhuman movement speed when he is a big forward, and he can completely shrink to the inside to protect the basket after delaying the opponent on the outside, you must know that he is only 5 cm shorter than Odom, but his bounce ability far exceeds Odom, so that the Lakers' advantage on the inside will be weakened by a large part.

McMillan just did what he said, and immediately sent a starting lineup of Miller-Bayless-Roy-Yefeng-Aldridge in the second half, which made Phil's eyeballs almost drop. He didn't expect the Trail Blazers to come up with such a funny lineup when they were so serious, of course, he didn't know that it was just that he thought it was funny, and still sent the same starting lineup, and then sat in his position and prepared to watch a good show.

However, the Lakers were in trouble after the start of the third quarter, and everything went as McMillan had expected. Ye Feng broke out with strong strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he could even have a slight upper hand in the face of the breakthrough of the Lakers players. But the real killer is Miller, who is constantly roaming around the perimeter and calling on his teammates to cover for him, while he himself looks for gaps. As long as he appears in the open position, Ye Feng, who is responding in the high post, will pass the ball to him as soon as possible, and at this time Fisher is often not in place to defend. As a result, Miller hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, instantly narrowing the gap to five points, and the game was just four minutes into the game, much to Phil's surprise.

He called a timeout immediately after the next dead ball and replaced Fisher with Famar, who now had better plugging the holes in the defence regardless of the offense. Although Famar is not tall enough, he has a lot of momentum, and he is much younger and faster than Miller, so he can naturally entangle Miller and prevent him from continuing to play outside the three-point line as easily as before. I have to say that Phil is indeed the league's premier coach, and his substitutions quickly disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Trail Blazers, while the Lakers' offense was not affected, after all, there is Kobe!

But after blocking Miller's offense, the focus of the Trailblazers' offense shifted to Ye Feng, which left Phil at a loss. Ye Feng is not Miller, whether it is physical fitness or physical strength, he is at his peak, and it cannot be solved by changing someone to him. And Walton Jr. is strictly a pure offensive player, or a playmaker, but the only thing that can't be said is that he is a defensive player, he was a little better against Batum before, although the Frenchman can score but does not have the ability to score like crazy. But Ye Feng is different, as long as this guy gives him space and the right to shoot, he can really score forty or fifty points in a game, how can little Wharton be able to defend against such a fierce beast?

Phil could only pinch his nose and admit that McMillan's adjustment was quite effective, so that he couldn't say anything, blocking one offensive point but there was another offensive point, and if he wanted to block it, he could only change to a regular lineup, forcing Ye Feng to return to the No. 3 position. However, returning to the regular lineup may return to the rhythm of the last game, which will be completely beaten by the Trail Blazers' run-and-gun tactics, and it will also greatly waste the physical strength of the players, which is more than worth the loss. Phil didn't expect Ye Feng to make him so embarrassed by himself, and the only thing he could do now was to pray that this guy's hand was not very good, so that he could collect a few more rebounds.

But God didn't hear his prayers at all, in the face of little Wharton, Ye Feng's low back body singles were more frequent, and much more powerful than Batum, little Wharton looked like a grasshopper shaking a tree behind his back, basically did not play a role, and could only let him push down to the basket step by step. When he doesn't fall into the low post, Ye Feng will hold the ball near the free throw line, and when Wharton Jr. comes up, he dribbles and breaks through, and if he doesn't come up, he jumps directly, and the shooting rate is quite high after a short hot hand, which makes Wharton's position very embarrassing, and he doesn't know whether he is better to defend or not to go out.

The Trail Blazers gradually approached the score, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's continuous scoring in the middle distance, the Lakers would have been tied a long time ago, Rao is so, judging from the ease with which the two score, Ye Feng still took advantage, and McMillan's adjustment did play an unexpected role.
