Chapter 333: The Tragic Little Shark

In the playoffs last season, Bynum was largely dropped by Phil and played most of the time as a team substitute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 But Bynum's performance improved further this season, and the pressure from Buss Sr. led to Phil putting him back in the starting line-up.

Of course, this time it was the same, after all, the Trail Blazers' interior strength was not bad, and Phil didn't need to tear down the twin towers that had been running in for almost the entire regular season first. However, Phil is still a little worried about Bynum's performance, and I don't know if the playoffs last season will leave any shadow in his heart. However, in order to improve the strength of the outside, Phil did not send Fisher as the starting point guard, but chose Blake, who used to play for the Trail Blazers.

Phil's idea is very simple, Fisher is relatively old, and his height is not superior, and in the face of the same old and spicy Miller, he may fall directly behind, so it is better to let the younger Blake go up and go to Fisher at a critical moment. Facing the old owner, Blake still had some ups and downs in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, at least from the pre-game warm-up, he was in good shape today, which gave Phil a little more confidence.

However, the smile on his face froze when he saw the Trail Blazers' starting roster, and the opponent's starting point guard was not Miller, who started almost the entire regular season and the first round of the playoffs, but Australian point guard Mills, who played more like a shooting guard!

Obviously, as the overall strength of the inferior side, McMillan chose to take the initiative to change the formation, he does have confidence in the players under his command, but confidence does not mean that he has to work hard with the opponent face to face, at this time the sudden change of formation can obviously catch the opponent off guard.

McMillan knows that the Lakers start with Fisher most of the time, and even if they do, they will only replace Blake, and the two of them are the real point guards. Phil could certainly send other players, but at that time, it will become Kobe Bryant who will be responsible for organizing the team's offense, which is not good news for the Lakers.

And the Trailblazers can rest assured that the task of organizing the offense will be handed over to Ye Feng, Mills likes to mess up battles, not assists? It doesn't matter, it's okay to have Ye Feng, in fact, there is no substantial difference to who plays the No. 1 position for the pioneers, the only difference is to see whether the burden on Ye Feng is heavier or lighter.

Long before the start of the game, McMillan expressed the hope that Ye Feng, Matthews and Mills can continue to use breakthroughs to kill the Lakers' interior line, after all, they can be said to be one of the top interior combinations in the league, and if they get into foul trouble, this game will be much easier. The attackers are targeting Bynum for the simple reason that Gasol is experienced and knows how to avoid fouls as much as possible, but Bynum doesn't know.

So the Trail Blazers' first offense of the game found Bynum. As the tactical core of the team, Ye Feng deservedly became the first person to eat crabs, and Artest, who was responsible for defending him, was a year older, and his footsteps were getting slower and slower, Ye Feng passed by his side very easily and went directly to the basket. At this time, Gasol has been pulled to the elbow area by Aldridge, and Bynum is the only one left under the Lakers' basket.

Ye Feng's speed is not very fast, but this is what he did on purpose, and it will be difficult to control if the speed is fast, in case a Lakers player suddenly stands on the breakthrough route, a proper offensive foul. However, the speed is not fast does not mean that Ye Feng has no choice, his speed has become slower, but the center of gravity of the whole person has begun to change constantly, and his body has also shaken significantly, and he has stepped under the basket in a few steps, this is a European step!

Facing Bynum who was under the basket, Ye Feng did not go to the basket directly, but deliberately leaned on the opponent, causing Bynum's beating foul between the lightning and flint, and the ball was also sent to the basket by Ye Feng, which was a 2+1. Seeing the referee signaling the thug to foul, Bynum showed an unbelievable expression, in his opinion, this is Ye Feng deliberately looking for his fault, the referee doesn't blow him, forget it, and for a foul? What is the rationale for this?

I have to say that Bynum is still a little tender, there are countless masters of making fouls in the NBA, if the referees think like him, where are so many players who rely on making opponents to foul to eat? From the perspective of basketball rules, his is indeed a foul by a beater, even if Ye Feng deliberately caused him to foul, it is not within the scope of the referee's consideration, they only need to pay attention to whether the players' actions are in line with the rules of basketball, as for whether it is intentional or unintentional, they don't care at all.

Seeing that Bynum was looking for a referee theory, Gasol on the side hurriedly pulled him aside, and now NBA referees have almost zero tolerance for players, and there is a chance that they will eat a technical foul. The game has just begun, so there is no need to come up and trouble the referee.

After being dissuaded by Gasol, Bynum was still indignant, and cursed Ye Feng in his heart for not getting the punishment. But with Ye Feng's shooting ability, how could he let go of this opportunity to score easily? He hit the free-throw line to help the Trail Blazers take the lead, and by the way, he also stirred Bynum's emotions.

Originally, Bynum thought that the opponent made a foul this time just because he happened to be standing under the basket, but soon he didn't think so, and even wanted to scold his mother a few times. When the Trail Blazers attacked again, the player who broke through with the ball was replaced by Mills, and at this time, Gasol had been replaced by Gasol, but Mills had to go around a corner and rush to Bynum. Although Bynum didn't foul this time, Mills easily scored the ball in front of him, which was still equivalent to a slap in the face.

The rest of the first quarter was a nightmare for Bynum, the Trail Blazers didn't play the interior as before, their guards and wing players got the ball and went straight to the basket, the only difference was whether they needed to call their teammates to the high post to do a pick-and-roll match, anyway, they ended up coming for Bynum. The Trail Blazers' deliberate targeting led to Bynum receiving two personal fouls in the first quarter, and Phil had to replace him early to rest, and when Bynum went off the court, the entire Staples Center arena was overwhelmed with boos and fans yelling: "Bynum get out!" ā€

There was a reason why the fans were so excited, not because of Bynum's two fouls in the first quarter, but because they couldn't see Bynum's courage to continue to step forward to protect the basket. Yes, he fell into the foul trap, but can he lose his heart in this way? In the eyes of the fans, this is a complete coward!
