The Trail Blazers' starters Lillard, Allen Crabbe, Gerard Henderson, Noah Vonleh, Plumlee.

The Lakers' starters are LaVine, Kobe, Dali, Green, and Whiteside.

Not to mention, the Trail Blazers' roster looked really bad at first, but now it looks ...... It's still bad, but playing time means an opportunity to brush up on the data, and it also means a chance to show your talent and make yourself better.

From the transfer of Batum to the Hornets, the Trail Blazers were compensated and got the Hornets' 2014 No. 8 pick for the physical fitness of male power forward Noah Vonleh, Noah Vonleh basically had no chance to perform in the Hornets' rookie year, at that time, there was Bi Yongbo, a guy with better physical fitness who was more willing to defend and do dirty work, Noah Vonleh could only sit on the cold bench.

But after coming to the Trail Blazers, Noah Vonleh may not have improved much, but his playing time has quadrupled, from only six or seven minutes per game to more than 20 minutes, mainly because the Trail Blazers are really empty.

Noah Vonleh really brushed up on an average of 8+8 per game, which is ...... Cavaliers fans are a little familiar.

Plumlee also started after the departure of Lopez Jr., and he played with a single hand, and his average data per game skyrocketed from 5+3 last season to 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists this season, which is the rhythm of making a fortune.

Aaron Crabbe, who averages 15 points per game, basically has no rebounds and assists, but according to rumors, his agent has shouted that he wants to renew his contract for 5 years and 100 million, which is really going to make a fortune.

To say that this group of people can play next to Lillard is simply profitable, the Trail Blazers have a terrible roster, but Lillard has the ability to enter the playoffs with a group of scum alone, and this is where the interesting thing comes.

If the Trail Blazers can't make the playoffs, the data that this group of people has brushed up will not be used, just like the current Bucks and Suns, the data of the players are very good, but many players who average more than ten points per game at the end of the season are not interested.

But Lillard took them into the playoffs, and the situation was different, and their stats were plated with a layer of gold called the main XX players in the playoffs.

Even Gerard Henderson, who was considered a cancer when the Trail Blazers had a sluggish record at the beginning of the season, is now averaging 14 points per game and is back to the top of his career......

The value of the Trail Blazers' group of players has skyrocketed as much as the opening hanging, especially after this season, the salary cap will rise to at least 90 million or even more than 95 million next season.

You don't have to wait until the offseason, there are already a lot of teams waiting to see the Trail Blazers play

The game is about to start, and the players of the two teams don't have much communication, except for McCollum, the rest of the Lakers and most of the players of the Trail Blazers are really not familiar with each other, and only Ed Davis and Carman are familiar with the players on the Lakers' side, the two are part of the Lakers' 13-14 season bench bandit group, but after the 13-14 season, they all pursued more playing time and more money and left the Lakers, and then missed the Lakers' wonderful championship year last season.

Whiteside was standing in the centre circle with Noah Vonleh when the referee blew the whistle and the referee threw the ball into the air.

To say that Whiteside is generally very solid on the jump ball, nine times out of ten he wins, and he also easily won against Plumlee in the last game against the Trail Blazers.

But today the Trail Blazers jumped the ball and switched to the more physical Noah Vonleh, who won the jump ball! Turning the ball to the back, Gerard Henderson grabbed it.

Gerald Henderson received the ball and passed it to Lillard.

Lillard dribbles to control the rhythm, this year he has experienced more than when he had the strongest starting lineup in the league as a teammate in the previous two years, and he has matured more, no longer trying to compare with Liu Ren when he saw Liu Ren like before, he really understood how miserable it is to not have a good teammate, there is no teammate like Matthews, Batum, and Lopets Jr. to make up for him on the defensive end, and there is no teammate like Aldridge to attract him away from defense, so he can only rely on himself, After half-time he steadied his rhythm.

Liu Ren saw Lillard coming and immediately blocked it, Lillard is really getting stronger and stronger year by year, although he only entered the NBA at the age of 22 and he was already 25 years old in the summer, but this does not mean that he has not improved, he is like most superstars who entered the NBA after finishing college in the eighties and nineties, but he just entered the NBA faster.

For Lillard, Liu Ren is very excited every time he fights, this guy has a really strong fighting spirit, so Liu Ren also works very hard unconsciously every time he fights.

But unexpectedly, Lillard saw Liu Ren defend and handed the ball to Allen Crabbe.

Alan Crabbe took the ball and prepared to hang the inside line according to the tactics Noah Vonleh, Green and Noah Vonleh competed for the position very fiercely, Noah Vonleh moved left and right without getting stuck in the position, he turned around continuously, hoping to get a position in this way, not to mention, this kind of physical fitness male ability to get rid of is really good, Green in order to stop Noah Vonleh can only use his hand to pull Noah Vonleh, this level of physical contact, generally will not be blown penalty.

However, as soon as Green made his move, the referee blew Green for a defensive foul.

This blowing penalty simply overwhelmed Green, this kind of ball that can be blown or not blown is so decisive to blow fouls?

Green yelled at the referee: "NO......"

But Green immediately shut up, turned around and walked away, blowing him foul is the deputy referee of the bottom line, this is not the point, the point is that this deputy referee is a female referee...... Well, it's not gender discrimination, it's the female referee blowing the penalty...... It is often strict, which makes many stars feel uncomfortable, but in order to avoid the protests of female fans, after all, female fans are the main buyers of NBA peripheral goods, so the proportion of female referees can only increase and not decrease, although on average there is only one female referee in every five games, and only one in 25 games is a female referee.

In the NBA, there is a kind of creature like the road killer female driver, they don't care about the so-called unspoken rules, these female referees don't tolerate sand in their eyes, this is not the point, the point is that because women are very emotional, so the game blown by the female referee will definitely not be the game of the team they like, and it is a team that neither team likes nor hates, so their blowing penalties are often strict with a beep.

Originally, this round of the series is not under pressure at all, when the referee committee arranged for the female referee to blow the penalty, because the Lakers played the Trailblazers and completely crushed it, so the female referee was arranged in this game that basically had no attention, the Lakers had such a big advantage, even if the female referee blew it too much, it didn't matter, but no one expected the Trail Blazers to be so strong today!

After Green fouled, on the side of the Trail Blazers, he strengthened the interior offense and breakthrough, Green still put a lot of pressure on Noah Vonleh, and after Noah Vonleh was contained on the inside, Allen Crabbe forced to break through and pass the ball to Lillard outside, and Lillard continued to attack the Lakers' basket.

Lillard's breakaway was also unsuccessful, but Lillard and Crabbe broke back-to-back to compress the Lakers' defense to the left of the basket, and Gerard Henderson on the weak side got space to shoot.

However, Gerard Henderson's shooting has always been so ineffective, Curry when he is on time, and Rondo when he is not right, this time he is the decisive incarnation of Rondo, and the Lakers let him slowly adjust his shots more than a meter away, and the result is still iron.

The four big men on the inside were all vying for the rebound, and Plumlee was crushed by Whiteside's huge frame, but Noah Vonleh was as tough as he could get to the ground and take the ball in his arms under the sandwich of Green and Whiteside.

Noah Vonleh wanted to dunk directly after getting the ball, but the Lakers absolutely did not allow it, Green's hand was also very fast, seeing that he couldn't stop Noah Vonleh from dunking, Green's hand went over and knocked the ball down in Noah Vonleh's hand.

Green seemed to have forgotten that he had already been saddled with a foul that he only reacted to when the referee blew the whistle again...... It's only been a minute since the start of the game, and Green has committed two fouls!
