Chapter 1540 The Blazers Are Not a Center Forward?
There will be several games today, a few in the East and a few in the West, and the Lakers are one of them.

Tonight, in the Staples Center, the lights are bright, and everyone is waiting to see how the Lakers get rid of the Trail Blazers and easily advance to the next round.The Lakers team also played lightly, without too much emotion and burden.Nick Young even said with a smile that they have to win this game by as many points as they can't lose to the Golden State Warriors.

After all, we are number one in the league, and they are number two in the league.

After all, we are the defending champions, they are just challengers.

right?
This is also the trend of the times. The American competitive culture is like this. There is no such thing as sympathy for the weak.If you lose, you are weak, so don’t beep beep, just get stronger and be beaten honestly.If you are not convinced, you can beat him back after leveling up.Redemption will do.If you can't do it, you'd better say goodbye, the circle here doesn't sympathize with the weak.

No one has sympathy for the weak.

If you are weak, you will be beaten, sprayed, and scolded.

The game started, the Lakers are obviously different from before, they are no longer a challenger, they are now a defending champion team, a team of kings.So the momentum is undoubtedly amazing. 74 wins and 8 losses, the most powerful regular season win record in NBA history, is now created by them, so when the two sides come up, it is the same as the comparison between characters with 18+++ dark gold equipment and 1+ bronze equipment.Very strong feeling.

"The Lakers really have a strong aura. They are really... amazing. They deserve to be a 74-win team." As soon as the Trail Blazers came up, someone muttered in a low voice.Don't blame them, it's just that the gap in hard power is too great. The Trail Blazers want to win, and it seems like a fantasy on paper.

Even the sixth man Nick Young of the Lakers has a bullish face, which cannot be concealed.

Only the Trail Blazers' starting No. 1 position, Lillard practiced shooting without saying a word, brushing and brushing~ the longer he shot, the farther he shot, he felt that the shooting touch tonight seemed to be very smooth.Lillard is also a player with a lot of personality, at least in this era, he seems very rare.Why do you say that, his talent is not too outstanding, this can also be seen from the initial scouting report, he came to the Trail Blazers to play with the boss Aldridge.

In Lillard's own words, when he entered the league, no one took him, including the team boss Aldridge.He didn't get a word of support and encouragement from the team leaders when he needed it most.Even one simple sentence and you will succeed.That didn't work either.He was also very unlucky. When he and his boss finally worked together to lead the team to the playoffs and made a certain breakthrough, the All-Star insider who he thought he was going to assist suddenly... went away.

Lillard himself was a little confused when he left.

Forget it, the teammates in the back left one by one, and he was the only one left, still holding on to the city of tearing.And at a young age, he also said a very powerful sentence: I will not hold a group, even if there is no championship in this life, I will not hold a group.Unless there is something I can't resist, such as a team trade.If I can control it myself, then I will never join a group.

Later he also said, I will not form a super team.

Then, he said, I choose loyalty.

Then, when the guy answered the question, he said:
NBA players under pressure?What is that to ordinary people?It's an insult!
In addition, he still has many remarks such as why he should not rely on the referee to win the game. This is really...

I rely on... It is simply the star of positive energy in the NBA!This guy's three views are a bit outrageous. Although it is only 2017, he has already said that he will not take the initiative to form a group.Therefore, Tang Qian actually admired this guy quite a lot.Now this alliance needs such people to support it.It's called the backbone of an old-school player.

However, appreciation is appreciation, you said that Tang Qian will take him seriously in this game, that is also ridiculous.

Although Lillard is not bad, he is far behind Tang Qian's level of star. Even in this round of the series, Tang Qian told the truth and didn't care too much.In his opinion, the Trail Blazers are really... a bit weak.

Not to mention black 8, even if you win a game, it will probably be very difficult.

At 7:30 in the evening, the game began, and the starters of the Lakers and Trail Blazers appeared together.The Lakers' lineup is still the same, center Tang Qian, power forward Randall, small forward Ariza, shooting guard Butler, and point guard Rondo.The Trail Blazers have a lineup of Lillard + McCrum + Evan Turner + Maurice Harkless + Noah Vonleh.

Basically, except for McCrum + Lillard, the rest of this lineup are ordinary role players, not so bad but not so good.Even later, he can only play as a substitute when he is playing.Especially in this game, they are so courageous that...not even a center forward!The tallest is the striker with a height of 208cm, Noah Von Lai.The tallest of the rest is a 203cm Morris Harkless.

Such a combination is actually a bit strange, and even makes people feel like giving up.

After all, please, please, look at it, the opponent's team has the tyrant No. 29 Tang, and the league's number one center is good, how many teams want to use big men to stand up.It's good for you to go directly to such a "small lineup"?Do you think you are the Golden State Warriors?play five small? ? ?
Or the Miami Heat back then, playing one big and four small?
Don't forget, our No. 29 of the Lakers is... a behemoth C who can keep up with the speed of the ball.

Anyway, you also have a 216cm Meyers Leonard. He has height and tonnage anyway.Isn't this a bit funny?Afraid we can't kill you? ? ?The Lakers' home commentator, Bill McDonald, also had a mocking face. He felt that such a formation was really ridiculous.

Do you really think of yourself as the Golden State Warriors? ? ?
How is your defense, can it be at the same level?Is the attack ability the same level? ? ?
Therefore, the Lakers' offense was a little careless at the beginning, with an easy pass from the top arc, and then broke through the middle. Ariza made an empty cut and made a layup.The Lakers are also playing this trick very well now. Rondo completely controls the possession of the ball in the Lakers, which also allows him to fully express himself, playing better and more comfortable.After all, Rondo should use it like this. If you don't give him possession of the ball, basically half of his martial arts will be abolished.The Lakers center building team does not have this conflict at all.

Rondo came to the Lakers for two consecutive years in assists, which is the best proof. He is also suitable for a slow pace. All this made him keep saying that this is his peak moment.It is no longer the Green Army of the year.Although the competition for the Western Conference All-Star spot is really fierce, this kind of honor is not very attractive to him, because it's not like he hasn't been an All-Star before, and he still wants a more solid honor.Such as the assist king, such as the defense, such as the best team, such as the core championship ring and so on.Even if he can't get the boss ring, he will admit it, but it's okay to get more core rings, right?That way life is also complete.

But the Trail Blazers didn't seem to be annoyed. Turning around, it was a screen + mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll, and it was still a 2-pointer.This is basically the epitome of the first quarter. The Trail Blazers were well prepared for various pick-and-roll shots, and the pick-and-roll and shots were also very firm, so the Lakers' scoring did not have much impact on them.

How should I say it later, the Lakers made a lot of turnovers in the first quarter, with a total of 7 times, five of which appeared on the outside pass.And you also know that according to rumors, the Lakers are the team that has done the most in this league, especially in the past two months or so, this number and proportion have been rising in a straight line.Even bigger than before.In this way, the Blazers made targeted arrangements tonight.

Why all mobility lineups?Either they don't have big men, or because the big men can't perfectly cooperate with the team to do this.which point?This is the point now, actively interfering with and blocking the Lakers' outside pass and inside pass route.

Big guys are still too bulky and not as mobile and free as shorter players.

In the first quarter tonight, the Trail Blazers were allowed to do this and defend, which had a certain effect.

In addition, the scale of confrontation in the playoffs will be greatly increased, so the difficulty of passing the ball to the inside will also increase. Even if Rondo does this deliberately, he will often be seen through.To put it simply, the way the attack is launched is too simple.This is also such an inertial problem that the Lakers have developed during this period of time.It is said that a habit can be formed in 21 days. The Lakers have been doing this for several months, so they were suddenly taken advantage of by the Trail Blazers.

This kind of situation is not unprecedented in history. Many teams that play too simple, rely too much on one person, and enter the playoffs will be similarly targeted.The playoffs are the playoffs, and it will definitely not work to use the routine of the regular season.Otherwise, why do you say that the playoffs are the real battlefield of the NBA?

Back then, Jordan and Olajuwon were also targeted in this way.

The Lakers still underestimated the aggressiveness of the Trail Blazers tonight.

PS: This is made up for yesterday's, and today's will be counted again, so our side, the playoffs, has also begun.
