Chapter 167: Elimination of the Edge

Although the game was ugly, it was hard to see that the fans wanted to leave the court early, but it was an indisputable fact that the Lakers got the match point for this round of the series. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow the Trail Blazers have one foot on the edge of the cliff, and if they lose one more game, they will be eliminated directly. Ye Feng is familiar with such a tense atmosphere, isn't this a copy of the NCAA Championship? If you win, there is still a glimmer of hope, and if you lose, you go straight home to fish, and all the hard work of a season is wasted.

Now the situation is obvious, the Trail Blazers' run-and-bomb tactics have been limited by the Lakers, and what's worse is that Phil did this without changing the team's starters, he didn't make any surprises, that is, with the players' performance on the defensive end, the Trail Blazers' run-and-bomb became useless, which also means that if this tactic is taken out again in the sixth game, the Lakers will also draw a gourd and directly eliminate them with kraft candy-style defense. This is the last thing McMillan wants to face, but he can't afford to face: running and shooting is useless, and the opponent's tactics that can be broken down by just adjusting on the field can help the team to a victory.

He knows exactly what the Lakers' goal for this season is, yes, a championship, and they won't have a second goal beyond that. McMillan doesn't think his team can stop the glory-hungry wolves, and last season's Finals loss to the Celtics was a humiliating blow to the Purple and Gold, who are the two giants with the most championships in NBA history. So this season they're all about revenge, and whoever stands in their way just wants to tear each other to shreds. And now, standing in front of them are the Trailblazers, who must withstand the wrath of the Angelenos.

What's more, the Lakers' lineup on paper is almost the strongest in the league, and the Trail Blazers are not a one-in-one enemy at all. But the sixth, and possibly even the seventh, is when you have to fight hard with the Lakers, when your strength is completely seen through by the other party, you can only use the most primitive and basic way to fight to the death. After thinking about it, McMillanth decided to send Blake, Roy, Ye Feng, Ade and Oden in Game 6, which is also the most commonly used starting lineup for the Trail Blazers this season, and it is clear that he has made a desperate bet to use the most regular lineup against the powerful Lakers.

The Portland media quickly poked this thing out, and there is nothing that cannot be said about it, the Trail Blazers have no intention of developing other tactics, and they are just tough on the Lakers. They've played each other a lot this season, and apart from that bizarre run-and-gun lineup, the Trail Blazers have started most of the games, so there's no need to keep it a secret. However, their news made Phil suspicious, for fear that it was a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Trail Blazers, after all, only the list of players announced before the official start of the game is accurate, and who knows if the other news is true?

However, Phil didn't take this matter to heart, the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers was not unopposed, and the so-called run-and-gun lineup in the last game had been cracked, and they didn't dare to fry the same leftovers a second time. And he has a lot of confidence in the players under him, who are not only very strong, but also able to complete their instructions to the letter, as evidenced by the fact that they play two diametrically opposed styles with the same lineup. So he doesn't care if this news from the Trail Blazers is true, anyway, in his opinion, this game will directly end the entire series for the Lakers.

This time back on his home court, McMillan didn't plan to give specific instructions to the players, especially the starting five, he wanted to see if Roy and Ye Feng, two guys with excellent ball quotients, could lead the Trail Blazers to drag the series into a tie-break. However, this is really no way, there is no special tactics, there is no special lineup, the team should have figured out the system used by the opponent before, and now it is the moment to fight against the water, it is better to let the players play freely, maybe there will be unexpected gains, in other words, this is a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Listening to the coach's arrangement at the team meeting, the worst mood is Blake, strictly speaking, as the team's starting point guard, he should be the initiator of tactics, but the coach directly handed over this power of life and death to Roy and Ye Feng. But he quickly figured out that the status of these two people in the team is not comparable to him, and even he may no longer be in the team's future plan, and now it is right to do his duty seriously and strive for a big contract. As for the command of the team, hand it over, and the work ethic itself is still not lacking.

After the meeting, Ye Feng and Roy deliberately stayed, and while there was still time, they hurriedly discussed what tactics to choose during the game. This is also the proper meaning, although McMillan handed over the team's on-field command to the two of them, but they can't really wait until the game starts to think while playing, of course, it is necessary to adapt, but before the game still has to set a tone, otherwise outsiders will think that the team is infighting. Just like marching to war, the most taboo on the court is to order multiple goals, and if the two organizational cores do not communicate well, the whole team will eventually fall into chaos.

Before Ye Feng could speak, Roy said calmly: "Ye, the possession of the ball in this game is handed over to you, I hope you can take on this responsibility." Ye Feng was stunned in an instant, I haven't spoken out yet, why did such a difficult task fall on my head? While I do want to be the playmaker of the team, I don't have to be so straightforward, right? Could it be that the captain is retreating as advancing?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng scratched his head and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Captain, don't scold me, it's more reliable to leave the task of organizing the team to you." Roy shook his head and said: "I will still play against Kobe Bryant in the game, you should know that it is an extremely physical and mental thing, whether it is offensive or defensive, so I don't have so much energy to help the team organize the offense." You're different, you're facing Ariza, and although he defends well, he definitely doesn't put as much pressure on you as Kobe, so I believe you're a better fit than me. ”

That's a good reason, but how does it sound weird? I came to organize because the people who defended me were weak...... Ye Feng was a little depressed, but under Roy's blazing gaze, he still nodded firmly.
