If the Trail Blazers still have any shortcomings, the lack of big blue-collar players is definitely one, and it is based on this that McMillan will experiment with a small lineup here in the preseason.

Here, the Eagles have replaced Gortat and Anderson, Poland's bald head has the nickname of Hammer, explosiveness and speed are not bad, and more importantly, his European players' comprehensive skills and solid interior position, Birdman is even more human-level in terms of physical condition, and it is not a loss to deal with McMillan's small interior line, but the outside line is different.

Joe? Johnson, Jason? Terry and Michael? Finley, the three outside players with technical experience and qualifications above and below the All-Star baseline, took turns to lead a group of pitchers from the Portland uniform team to bombard the perimeter, and after the pace of the game was amplified, the advantage of the Trail Blazers' perimeter was undoubtedly apparent, whether it was Eddie? House, Luther? Hyde, or Capono, is it true as long as the three-point is out of shape? Can cast the Death Star......

For a group of unreasonable but fiery pitchers on the outside, there is nothing worse than facing such a situation, even worse than facing the big sharks on the inside, because after all, there are shark slashing tactics.

Uncle Tom first tried to get Payton Sr. on the court to steady the rhythm, and then Iguodala and Matt? Barnes, the two defensive giants, tried to limit the opponent's touch, but when the opponent was running all over the court and the two small men were still pulling out vigorously, Uncle Glove gradually became a little overwhelmed.

After the failure of the first idea. There are two paths to go in Thibodeau. One is to replace it with Da Yao. Completely use the rhythm to fight the opponent, and the other is to attack against attack, and simply play run and bomb together.

However, Da Yao has just returned to the team and is still in the adjustment period, and this game is also a warm-up preseason, and after thinking about it for a while, Thibodeau changed to a lineup that is also somewhat nonsensical.

Christian Dior was pushed to the center position, and the number four was surprisingly Granger, with Iguodala tasked with limiting the hottest players in the opposition as a small forward. Crawford and Paul, on the other hand, are on the perimeter and can switch positions at any time.

When ten players like this stand on the field, the DJ on the scene can actually shout directly, "Let's get high!" ”

The Trail Blazers' roster is a game-type, House is known as a microwave, both the Suns and the Green Shirts have had their time off the bench, Capono later won the three-point contest, and Hyde everyone knows that despite the usual blacksmith attributes, the crazy Luther is really scary.

And so. In the hotbed of Madrid, the Trail Blazers' terrifying outside attack fireteam began to show its sharp minions......

Compare the two. The Hawks were somewhat passive on the court, but Hawks fans gained hope - Danny? Granger, the small forward who was pushed to the No. 4 position, constantly pulled to the outside to shoot from long range, he could find open space with the help of cover, and Paul's passing was like a conveyor belt that carried ammunition, completely activating this rookie rookie in his class.

Coupled with the fact that Crawford and Paul are also excellent projection players, the Hawks can also bite the point difference and not let it widen to more than 10 points.

In fact, the two coaches standing on the sidelines at this moment had solemn faces.

McMillan knows that no matter how large the outside attack firepower is, it can only walk on one leg, once it comes to the playoffs, the defensive intensity is greatly improved, and the opponent is likely to interrupt his own hand with fouls, at that time, the efficiency of the outside wave shooting is far less than the inside killing, and the supersonic can not climb to the top of the Western decisive battle in the end, and the Trail Blazers' interior line is clearly still obviously flawed, and the sister-in-law is somewhat difficult to support, and the lack of qualified blue-collar players is the shortcoming of the Trail Blazers.

Thibodeau is thinking about how to deal with a team like today's Trail Blazers in the future, you must know that the Trail Blazers are not the only team in the West, the Suns bear the brunt, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, everyone has three-point skills, the speed is faster, and it is more difficult to contain, in addition, the supersonic and Mavericks These teams have more or less the shadow of this style, and it is really impossible to conclude whether the rhythm of the competition will be a good way to do it.

In the end, Madrid's NBA preseason ended with the Trail Blazers winning by 8 points, and the Hawks only had Monta? Ellis and David? Lee didn't get a chance to play and obviously they will be in the next game.

It is no surprise that the second game of the European preseason moved to Lao Jiang's home base, Milan City, Italy, in fact, in addition to Milan's reputation in European football, Milan City also has a basketball powerhouse, 25 domestic league champions, 3 European League champions Milan Olympia basketball team.

Although not as familiar as the Greek Panesthenaikos, the gimmick focus designed by Uncle Si is enough to catch the audience's attention in itself.

Before the game, not only the major media in Milan, but also the AC Milan club, together with the city cousin's house, also came to a lot of spectators, according to the words of the Celestial Empire, now AC Milan and the Atlanta Eagles are truly "in the same spirit".

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup for Game 2 of the preseason is unchanged, but the Hawks are different.

Is it Chris who starts with Da Yao? Anderson......

In Uncle Mu's tune for a season. Under the teaching, Birdman's defensive skills have made good progress, creating a lot of trouble for Gasol on the defensive end, making Da Yao a lot easier, and he can also put more energy into the offense.

Jiang Qi has been so interested in hoarding the inside line from the beginning, in fact, it is also to "reduce the burden" of the star inside line who will introduce the team in the future, to deal with a giant like Shaq, he prepared a big white bear to fight hand-to-hand, to deal with the flexible and medium shot led by the wolf king, he got Anderson, and also brought Uncle Mu to preach, using physical talent to fight against physical talent, as for international players, he also has Dior and Gortat in his hands, as for David? Lee, maybe he doesn't have that good effect on defense, but the all-round skills can make David? Lee takes the pressure off the interior core on the offensive end.

Perhaps the slightly complaining look of the sister-in-law on the other side said it all, at least the Spaniards lacked helpers by their side.

Also, Danny? Granger replaces Josh? Smith started the game, which gave the Hawks another three-pointer from the outside.

Coincidentally, the final result of this game was exactly the opposite of the previous one, with the Eagles winning by 7 points.

It was Ellis who spotted Thibodeau this time, and his pace was key to the Eagles' opening up of the deficit at key moments, although he was still a mess of the tempo.

After two games, Granger and Ellis each became a shining point, which made many media lament someone's vicious eyes again, as for Paul...... The rookie didn't disappoint with the team's organization on the court, but where his limits are, it needs to be carefully examined after the regular season begins.

Because there are two mirrors of Paul there: Delon? Williams and Raymond? Felton ...... (To be continued......)
