Chapter 343: Leading Again

In this game, the Trail Blazers fans are undoubtedly the protagonists, cheering for the home team in the rose garden and booing the away team, and the surging sound determines the outcome of the game to a certain extent, no wonder many teams have a much better record at home than on the road. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, the intensity of the game was not as high as expected, and both sides played solidly, except for Bynum, who complained to the referee and was whistled for a technical foul. Seeing that Bynum was still reluctantly trying to find trouble with the referee, Phil covered his forehead helplessly, he really didn't know what to do with this guy.

Originally, he wanted to reuse Bynum, and the Lakers management also meant so, otherwise it would be impossible to ask Abdul-Jabbar to go out of the mountain and specifically train the little sharks. But this guy's mental quality is really low, so low that sometimes people want to beat him up, and sometimes he thinks that he can mix up as the NBA's No. 1 center with his physical fitness, but his opponent tells him with countless facts, kid, you think too much......

Just because Phil is optimistic about him doesn't mean he should be tolerated all the time, especially in the playoffs. However, he didn't plan to replace Bynum, just let him continue to grab rebounds on the court, Odom is a very important point in the Lakers' bench lineup, generally speaking, even if Phil lets Odom start, he has to play the responsibility of leading the bench, it is better to let Bynum continue to make trouble on the inside, anyway, he can't get any shots.

But soon he regretted his decision, Bynum's performance on the offensive end was average, and Aldridge, who had always been sprayed as a soft egg, suddenly hardened, constantly singled Bynum in the elbow area, and the shooting percentage was quite high, in other words, he also became a hole in the team on the defensive end.

In fact, Aldridge was hacked into a soft egg by many fans, not that he is really soft, and he can't even withstand a little physical confrontation, his so-called softness comes more from his skills. As a shooting power forward, Aldridge rarely hits the basket hard and the opposite side of the basket, and his favorite thing is to hit the jump shot directly after the mid-range continuous shaking or back-to-back single, and in the eyes of the fans, he naturally becomes a soft egg who does not even dare to go to the basket.

Bynum's own rim protection ability is still good, but most of the time he directly uses his strength, bounce and even arm span to defend, that is to say, this guy is a body flow, and in the face of Aldridge's technical flow, he quickly fell behind, and because he was too frizzy, he started directly, and as a result, the experienced Aldridge made a beating foul, and what made the Lakers players speechless was that this was still a 2+1.

Before Aldridge stepped to the free throw line, Phil decisively replaced Bynum, and he had already made up his mind not to use Bynum again in this game. This kid is really a big hole on the field, and he is completely changing his way to pit his teammates. He'd rather let Odom go a little longer than use Bynum again.

With Odom on the court, the Lakers' interior line has been much more flexible, and the height hasn't dropped much, so it's time to test the Trail Blazers' shots. Although Odom's height is not as good as Bynum's, his movement speed and game experience are not comparable to Bynum's, so his rebounding ability is no different from that of the little shark, and he has a greater range of control over the rebounding ball, which is why Phil is relieved to let him play.

But the Trail Blazers' players withstood the test, Ye Feng took the lead in hitting 2 three-pointers from the outside, Miller and Matthews each contributed 1 three-pointer, and the shooting percentage was so high that the Lakers players were a little overwhelmed. Odom has a knack for rebounding, but the opponent doesn't give you rebounds at all, so what can you do?

The Trail Blazers took a slight lead at 32-30 at the end of the first quarter, and if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's eight-point shooting in the final minute and a half of the first quarter, it would have helped the Lakers tie the score by two points. But after the start of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers, who played with morale, rushed even harder, and Mills, who performed well in the last game, got more opportunities this time, and his breakthrough and three-point shooting completely stunned the Lakers' bench lineup.

Seeing that the difference between the two sides reached double digits, Phil could only change to the starting lineup in advance, which stopped the decline. McMillan was very ruthless, he waited until the Lakers chased the difference to 5 points, and called a timeout when it looked like his hand was already hot, and then changed his starting lineup.

This is actually a bit of a bad fun, first, it consumes the physical strength of the Lakers' starters, and also buys more rest time for their starting five; Second, the timing of his timeout was also very thief, which disrupted the rhythm of the Lakers, although it did not cause any impact, but it could also make them hold a mouthful of blood.

Kobe Bryant did not play the strong performance of the last game, and it can even be said that it was a little tepid, and in desperation, Gasol had to take on the responsibility of scoring, and at this time he showed the strength of FIBA's No. 1 center. Yes, even though the American Dream Team is extremely strong, Gasol is still recognized by FIBA as the world's No. 1 center, and his interior footwork, mid-range shooting, playmaking and rim protection are all top-notch, and now it is natural for him to score.

But it looked like a remake of the previous game, except that Gasol played the role of Aldridge, he scored a goal inside, and the Trail Blazers turned around and hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, and the difference was gradually widened, and by the end of the halftime the Trail Blazers had a 12-point lead at 60-48.

After the start of the second half, Phil made a series of changes, including almost all of the usual changes to the lineup and tactics, but the Trail Blazers never changed everything. As long as you get up a little bit, a three-point rain will immediately pour down, and the small flame of the Lakers' equalizer or even overtake will be quickly extinguished as soon as it ignites. Kobe Bryant still wanted to be able to lead the team to a reversal, but he didn't show any outstanding performance when he was invisible most of the time, and the continuous iron made Camby and Aldridge brush up a lot of rebounds.

In the end, the Trail Blazers bloodlessly took a big lead on their home court again, and the most depressed of the game was undoubtedly Bynum, who was booed by the Trail Blazers fans and only got 8 points and 4 rebounds in the whole game, which was worse than the first game, and it was clear that the rhythm of this game was brought into the pit by Bynum, and he must take the main responsibility for this loss.
