Portland's home stadium was challenged by Chinese players in the last playoffs.

Also in 2009, the Houston Rockets faced the Trail Blazers in the first round.

The first game was played in Portland.

Yao Ming hit 9 of 9 shots to give the Trail Blazers a dismount.

Set the tone for the series.

The Rockets after getting home court advantage.

In this way, the Trail Blazers were defeated and won 4-2.

This also became the only time in Yao Ming's career that he broke through the first round.

Wang Shuang is the second Chinese player to play in the playoffs.

CCTV broadcast the game.

Wang Shuang's reputation in China reached a peak after playing a four-point lore to beat the Warriors.

In the eyes of some fans, his achievements in half a season have surpassed Yao Ming.

The difference is nothing more than accumulation.

Wang Shuang said before the game, "I am standing on the shoulders of giants to move forward." ”

Of course, Wang Shuang was humble when he said this.

Because Wang Shuang entered the NBA and took the American route.

It's different from Dazhi and Yao Ming's path.

Wang Zhizhi is a pioneer, and Yao Ming is a master.

And Wang Shuang is an outlier, a unique wonder.

CCTV broadcast the match today.

Chinese fans have placed great hopes on Wang Shuang from top to bottom.

Wang Shuang has not opened his own social account.

Twitter, Weibo and other social media.

All kinds of fake accounts have sprung up.

Because it was on the news broadcast.

So all kinds of people who rub the heat come to interject.

Everybody has to comment on basketball.

For the Lakers, this is nothing more than an ordinary playoff game.

Especially for Kobe, Black Eight is not a big honor.

The Western Conference semifinals were even more sprinkled.

For Wang Shuang, it is different, and he is under a lot of pressure.

There are a lot of people who are concerned, and if you don't play well.

The more compliments, the more people will stare at you for criticism.

But as soon as the game began, Wang Shuang reassured many fans who supported him.

The first game between the two sides was tentative.

The Lakers still play two-person rotation with Wang Shuang and Kobe Bryant as the core in the offense.

As a result, the first offense was opened.

Wang Shuang received a pass from Kobe Bryant after blocking and dismantling from the outside.

Hit a direct three-point shot.

The pitch was made very suddenly.

Slow and ruthless, so that Aminu, who was defending Wang Shuang, did not react.

This guy, just cast like that?

Then, Wang Shuang hit three points in a row in the first quarter!

He was tall and slow, but small.

So, his three-point shooting is very hidden.

Aminu didn't have time to intervene.

The Trail Blazers, for their part, didn't make any special arrangements for his three-point shooting.

In the first quarter of the game, Wang Shuang hit 4 three-pointers.

He scored 16 points in the first quarter.

Helped the Lakers lead the Trail Blazers by 11 points in the first quarter.

33：22。

The Trail Blazers were suppressed by the Lakers all the way.

Stotts watched the performance from the sidelines with his chin in the face.

In the middle of the first quarter, he called a timeout.

Replaced Leonard, who started the game.

Let Harkless reappear.

Stotts this is a slap in the face.

Before the game, he deliberately changed the starter.

Letting Leonard start is to protect the team's rebounds.

Who knows, two big men are on it.

As a result, the outside line couldn't prevent Wang Shuang's three-point shot.

When Wang Shuang played the Warriors in the first round, he had a high three-point shooting percentage.

But he didn't shoot much, and he only shot three or four times in a game.

He often makes a move when it comes to critical moments.

Because he wants to rush to the basket to grab the rebound.

If he turns into a perimeter three-pointer.

The Lakers have half as few frontcourt rebounds.

As a result, most of the time he hangs around the three-second zone.

This fight against the Trailblazers is different.

The Lakers changed tactics.

Rush - >>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

Frontcourt boards are inherently riskier tactical strategies.

The Trail Blazers were also prepared before the game.

In that case, the Lakers certainly won't use this brute bull tactic again.

Instead, it pulled away and returned to the classic mode of the regular season.

Take advantage of Kobe Bryant, Randolph's high and low singles threat.

Let Wang Shuang be the link to drive the whole team to attack.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuang's three-point hand in the first quarter felt amazing.

Some of the balls that can be passed, he chooses to throw them directly.

During the interval, Scott praised Wang Shuang:

"Cast beautifully, Wang, but if you cast like this, we don't need to play tactics."

Wang Shuang smiled and said, "I am the tactic." ”

Of course, there is a reason why Wang Shuang scored three points tonight.

Because he used the latest prop "God's Left Hand".

Although the name of this prop is called God's Left Hand.

But it's not just for left-handed players.

It's just that as long as you wear it, you can improve your three-point shooting percentage.

The increase of 10 percentage points can be said to be quite high.

Because in the regular season, Wang Shuang's three-point shooting rate was 39%.

Close to forty percent.

An increase of 10 percentage points is close to a 50% hit rate.

That's a ceiling-level three-point shooting level across the league.

As a prize for defeating the Champions.

It's a really powerful prop.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers were crushed by Wang Shuang's three-point firepower.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers began to chase points with two guns.

Lillard and McCollum hit back-to-back jumpers from the outside.

But the Lakers' bench lineup has a lot of firepower.

Wang Shuang led Lu Wei, Nick Yang and others to fire continuously from the outside.

After Wang Shuang found out that he had the [Left Hand of God].

The outside shot feels a lot better.

Before, Wang Shuang's outside shots were more cake-eating.

It's just that you need to adjust your posture and wait for your teammates to pass the ball.

Then take a shot immediately after receiving the ball.

But equipped with God's left hand.

Wang Shuang holds the ball by himself, and he can also face the defender and force his shot.

Of course, the shooting rate of such a shot is not as good as that of a catch-and-shoot shot.

But there is also a certain hit rate.

In the second quarter, Wang Shuang threw five such strong three-pointers.

He also hit two balls, with a 40 percent shooting rate.

In the first half, Wang Shuang made 6 of 10 three-pointers and scored 22 points.

The Lakers also led the Trail Blazers by 10 points at 62-52.

The Trailblazers never expected that.

Wang Shuang changed his style in this game.

In fact, the pioneers don't want to think about it.

The intensity of their counter-attacks and their ability to defend from the outside.

Can it be compared to the Warriors?

Wang Shuang against the Warriors, unless there is absolute certainty on the outside.

He won't shoot a three-pointer.

This left the Trailblazers in a state of confusion.

In the second half, the Lakers started to play control again.

The old style of play, dragging the rhythm, pressing the hit rate, and reducing the number of rounds.

With a 10-point difference, the Trailblazers have always been crushed.

At the slightest sign of emerging, someone on the Lakers' side will stand up and give punishment.

Anyway, the Lakers can't play an offensive shockwave.

Unlike now, many teams can't take away their opponents in waves.

Instead, the game is always suppressed in a state of attrition with high intensity and low hits.

Each attack consumes as much time as possible.

In defense, there is no strategy or skill.

The Trail Blazers don't have the depth and strength of the Warriors.

So they can't even chase within 5 points.

The margin was kept at around 10 points until the end of the game.

There is still more than a minute to go.

Lillard misses a three-point shot from beyond the arc.

Randolph grabbed the rebound.

Handed the ball to Bryant, the Trail Blazers' side gave up resistance.

101:92,9 points difference.

The Lakers won the first game of the series in Portland.

After winning this victory.

The Lakers felt like they might be able to look a little further.
