The Trail Blazers' win in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals was a bit of a surprise, but it was only a surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At least judging from the regular season record rankings of the two sides, one is second and one is third, and the gap is not as big as imagined, so although the Trail Blazers win is unexpected, it is also reasonable. Of course, Lakers players will definitely make some post-game remarks to vent their frustration at losing a home court.

Kobe, Gasol and even Artest, who has always been grumpy, are easy to say, after all, they are all veterans with a lot of experience, and they know what they can and can't say. The NBA is good enough to attract reporters, and once you say something you shouldn't say, you don't have to wait until the next morning, as soon as it is released, it will be bombarded with overwhelming indiscriminate bombardment, so few players make a big deal in front of reporters.

However, there are exceptions among NBA players, such as Bynum, who is so young and vigorous that he looks a little brainless.

In an interview with reporters after the game, the little shark, who only scored 10 points and 6 rebounds in the whole game, looked very unconvinced, and he said to reporters without hiding it: "I don't think it's a big deal for the Trail Blazers to win the first game, they are just lucky, and the shooting percentage is a little abnormal." In terms of strength, we definitely have the advantage, they can't beat us at all, and I don't think they will have such a good touch in the next game. ”

The Trail Blazers players woke up the next morning and saw Bynum's remarks in the media, but few took him to heart. You're so embarrassed to beat us up if you beat it yourself? There is indeed an element of luck in basketball, but it is only a small part, and if shooting accuracy is considered luck, then why keep practicing shooting to maintain the feel? Moreover, the Trail Blazers' shooting percentage in that game was just average.

Soon it was the second game of the series, and surprisingly, Phil still did not choose to change the lineup, but still lined up the starting lineup from the previous game, which means that Bynum will continue to be the team's starting center. Not to mention Lakers fans, even the on-site commentators questioned his choice.

In their opinion, Bynum is indeed a good embryo for a center, and if he exercises more, he is likely to support the Lakers' interior line in the future. But he's still a little too tender now, especially in such a crucial Western Conference semifinals, and continuing to play him is undoubtedly giving the opponent a breakthrough. Cultivating new players is indeed what every head coach has to do, but the playoffs highlight a stable word, at least to train on the premise of ensuring promotion.

McMillan also felt very strange, but it was the Trail Blazers who won the last game, and as the winning side, it was better to respond to all changes with the same, so he also did not change the starting players. I have to say that the logistics of the Trail Blazers are still very good, although the first game was difficult to solve, and the intensity of the game made the players feel a little unbearable after the game, but in just one day, they basically returned to normal levels. That is, Miller and Camby, the two veterans, are a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter, they can't bear it, so they can change the bench, anyway, the available soldiers of the Trail Blazers are not small.

However, the game started at a very eerie pace, and the Trail Blazers fans in front of the TV were eager to rush to the Staples Center to give Bynum the middle finger. He said in an interview after Game 1 that the Trail Blazers would not have such a high shooting percentage again, and no one took this sentence to heart at the time, and if the opponent could be handled by one sentence alone, then it is estimated that the trolls will quickly take over the entire NBA.

However, Bynum said that the Trail Blazers shot all 6 consecutive shots at the beginning of the game, and did not score for nearly three minutes, but the Lakers fully blossomed and directly played a wave of 12-0 climax. What's even more exaggerated is that as the team's scoring champion and tactical core, Ye Feng contributed half of the 6 shots, and the two three-point deviations were counted, and once he shook Bynum's empty basket and weirdly brushed out of the basket, but the rebound was grabbed by Gasol and thrown to Kobe Bryant to play a conversion offense.

Aldridge finally scored 2 points with a mid-range shot, but it turned out to be another series of irons, which made fans worry about whether the basket in the Staples Center would be smashed. With three minutes left in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers finally returned to normal, at least they were able to score in every round, but by this time the Lakers were far ahead, and the Trail Blazers players were only a drop in the bucket.

At the end of the first quarter, Ye Feng couldn't help frowning, the team fell behind 20-35, the shooting rate as low as 33.7% made him feel powerless, and the three-point shot was only 1 of 7. Usually he doesn't believe in the so-called prophecy and special functions, but at this moment, the first thing that comes to his mind is the interview with Bynum, is this really a curse that belongs to the Lakers? How else could it be so coincidental?

There was jubilation on the Lakers' bench, who thought it would take a lot of effort to win the game, but they didn't expect to build a 15-point lead just after the end of the first quarter. Although the Trail Blazers seemed to suddenly come back to life in the final stages of the first quarter, it is not certain what they will be able to play in the next game, at least now that the team has built a double-digit lead, which is not easy to close when the two sides are almost the same.

McMillan was also worried, he couldn't guarantee that the team would be back to normal in the second quarter, and that returning to normal would not allow them to win the game. However, he did not give any instructions to the outside players, but instead lectured the two starting insiders, Camby and Aldridge, hoping that they could fight for frontcourt rebounds when the team was not feeling good, and use secondary offense to stop the bleeding for the team.

However, before sending the starting lineup again, it is still necessary to change to the bench to rush forward, and he is not too worried about the substitute player McMillan, now the Trail Blazers have several masters of chaos in the rotation lineup, and the more complicated the situation, the more crazy they will play, if it is not for the difference in strength, he really wants this batch of rotation players to compete with the Lakers' starters. It's not possible, but it's not a bad time to shock the opponent's substitutes.

So every NBA team needs a variety of players, they may be able to withstand pressure, they may be good at disrupting battles, they may be good at tactical execution, they may be able to boost the morale of their teammates, and each player has their value, depending on how the head coach uses it.
