Chapter 1551: Portland Backcourt Iron Gun

"This is ESPN, I'm Rachel and this game is Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers..."

"Good morning, viewers and friends. This is Tianchao Sports Station. Today's NBA playoffs is the game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers..."

"This is Penguin's webcast, I am... welcome to leave comments and post barrage~"

Then there are piles of bullet screens. Before the game started, they were all from the female anchor. Look at these "idiots". some type of.Or who is better looking compared to the last female anchor... This is also the normal state of Penguin's webcast. Just get used to it. When the game really starts, all straight men's eyes will return to the basketball court.

As for if it hasn't started yet, then it can be done smoothly and let's look at other balls first, right?

But you have to say, although there are quite a few people who scold Penguin's webcast for being a gimmick, look, isn't everyone discussing it very vigorously?This shows that the mouth is so honest, the body is still very honest.So this trick actually works.

Besides, Tianchao Sports Station also has a beautiful anchor now?However, the professional quality is much better than that of Penguin. They have prepared the lessons anyway, but here they just took the manuscript and memorized it in advance. In fact, they don’t even know how many people are in it.

The scene shifted to the Moda Center in Portland. The Lakers bus drove in, and then entered the locker room. After discussing the tactics and countermeasures before the game, they warmed up before the game.In this game, Larry Brown still reminded the Lakers players not to underestimate the enemy, because this game is actually a life-and-death battle for the opponent, and the opponent will definitely fight with all their strength.Everyone should be mentally prepared.

Since they were almost killed in the first game, the Lakers players have become more serious. Everyone nodded and said that in this game, we still have to let the Portlanders call us dad.

The Trail Blazers locker room was full of chicken soup. Head coach Terry Stotts said loudly:

We have to defend the home field!We are going to fight!We cannot be underestimated! ! !Come out with fighting spirit! ! !

Tell them, where is this place? ? ?This is the city of tearing! ! !
Well, the slogan is very loud, but in the end it still depends on how well the players play on the court. If they play poorly, everything is useless.Back then, Rivers went to Los Angeles to settle the fight without luggage, and the result was... fart.So the slogan is to shout, to cheer yourself up before the game, but whether the slogan is loud or not has nothing to do with the team's combat effectiveness.

It is because your team is strong that your slogan is strong, not because your slogan is strong so the team is strong.

The causal relationship needs to be clarified.

As soon as it came up, the Lakers continued the intensity of the previous game, and did not make any attempts at all, as if they were going to squeeze the opponent's head to the ground at the beginning of the game.The side step defensive position is expanded outside the line, which is specially prepared for the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt.Because Larry Brown discovered that both Lillard and McCrum like to walk and break through at the beginning of the game, and then switch to shooting when they fail.

This offensive trend is obvious, so this is done to curb their opening breakthrough.

Of course, it’s okay not to do this. Unless Butler and Rondo break out in front of each other, it will be difficult to easily defeat them with a single blow.

Larry Brown just wanted to be safe.

Whether it is Lillard or McCrum, they are the kind of people who are supernatural and supernatural. Don't be fooled by them in one game, maybe one supernatural and then sluggish for several games.This is also the case.But the defensive arrangement is one thing, and how the players execute and how the opponent breaks the game and how to adjust it is another matter.Otherwise, wouldn't it be the end of the sand table deduction?
What game are you still playing, right?

The real situation on the field is actually changing rapidly, and it is not so easy to grasp.Especially in the playoffs, on-the-spot adjustments and tricks, these factors are much more important than the regular season.

Even if you grasp it correctly, it may change in the next second. This is one of the charms of basketball.

Unpredictability and unknownness.

Of course they want to break the game. The Trail Blazers are eighth this year. The strength of the team is actually average, and the chemical reaction is not very good.Being able to reach the playoffs is entirely due to the two guns.But it's also because it's too focused on double guns. If these two people can't open, then the Trail Blazers are basically doomed to kneel.From the very beginning, McCrum and Lillard learned the lesson of the last time. They were no longer so obsessed with directly holding the ball and doing it alone, but adopted the pick-and-roll attack mode that the Trail Blazers are best at.

The scoring ratio of this scoring mode is the largest among the entire Trail Blazers' double guns.

The last match was too vindictive, and he fought alone. Facts have proved that the effect is very poor, and the iron is not good.Therefore, in this game, at home, the Blazers' backcourt double guns chose to attack according to their best scoring style.

This is also an adjustment.But the truth is, things are not always easy to go according to your own ideas.

The Lakers seem to have expected that they will make such adjustments, so they have already made arrangements.That's right, there are actually only a few effective changes for the Trail Blazers, and they can be counted with fingers, so it's not surprising to guess them.They are not a team like the Warriors. Teamwork is actually not lethal.

Barkley has a good saying, if the Trail Blazers take off the double guns, they will be an NBDL dynasty team, that's it.

It sounds like a joke, but adding an NBDL to the prefix is ​​not a good word at all.

Barkley is hurting people.But you can't say that it doesn't make sense at all.

This is the case with the current Trail Blazers. With the double guns removed, it can basically be said that they have no offensive ability.Of course, it is still possible to play in the NBDL. If a super strong team plays in the NBA, it will be difficult.Not to mention the playoffs.But you want to play what you do best, will the Lakers let you do so?Do you really think this is the first game?

Facing their pick-and-roll, the Lakers responded quickly. The main defender rushed forward, and then used the wing player to go up...directly to the line to pinch! ! !It is to checkmate the Trail Blazers' double guns!You play?Then we can't wait for it to be good!I really beg you to hurry up and play the ball!Because the rest of the Trail Blazers...to use Barkley's words, there is no one who can play.

Speaking of three-pointers, apart from Lillard and McCrum, the most accurate and reliable of the rest of the team is Aaron Clark.He averaged 4% of three-pointers per game in the regular season, which is very accurate.Contributed 4 points per game, an important scorer on the bench.But unfortunately, the Trail Blazers are afraid to play him now.Because Tang potential is too destructive inside, in order to maintain the strength of the defensive contraction inside, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Terry Stotts, can only move as fast as possible, tall and long.

Alan Clark obviously doesn't meet this standard. He is only 198 cm tall. Although his wingspan is very good, he is also a bit too papery.Tonnage is too poor.If he goes up, then the Trail Blazers lineup, which is not enough in size, will once again be reduced.It's okay to play against other teams, but it may be difficult to play against the Lakers.So head coach Stotts didn't use him too much in this round of the series.

At the same time, he also has a big problem, that is, once he encounters a really high-intensity defense, his shooting percentage will drop to the point where you want to cry.

So far, his shooting percentage is very poor. Compared with the regular season, it is completely different.

Therefore, it is a wise move of Terry Stotts not to reuse him very much.

If he can't use it, then Aminu can be used. Aminu is also the third scoring point in this round of the series, which is exactly the same as the original time and space.But Aminu is too easy to be restricted, first of all, he is too light, and secondly, his personal ability is not so outstanding. The only advantage is that he has practiced three-pointers, but Randall or the rest of the Lakers rotate quickly. His three-point shot chance is not good, as for the mid-range... with his 2% shooting rate, who would be afraid?
The Lakers are even willing to let him make a mid-range shot.

It depends on you, Aminu, dare you?It depends on whether the head coach of your Trail Blazers dares?

They dare not, so they will collapse soon. Once the double guns are suppressed, the Blazers will not be far from GG.

The Trail Blazers made a double cut at a 45-degree angle, but was quickly held down by the Lakers. Butler and Rondo were the main defenders, and at the same time compressed the sideways and put them in the middle. Here are the Lakers' Ariza and Randall.This trick restricted the Trail Blazers' cut and breakthrough in the middle, and required stars to come out to break the game. However, neither of these two people stood up well tonight.

The head coach of the Trail Blazers wants to arrange a surprise player, use Aminu to roam the bottom line, steal a few chickens, or cut in and hit a few balls to help the team share the defensive pressure with two guns.But the Lakers are not any other team. If you want to go to the bottom line to steal chickens, it is not so easy. Tang Qian sent Aminu's basketball home with a slap.

At the same time, the offensive end also scored a 2+1 in the middle.

He rushed up, really unable to resist.

Like a monster, there is no meat shield to delay, just send him to open his mouth to eat people and drink blood.

The Trail Blazers made adjustments again, adopting high rises on the flanks, and at the same time, they used high positions to cover hand-offs or make post-setters.Even because of this cocoon, they helped attract more defenders and double-teams to the backcourt.Sometimes the Lakers selectively let go or half-let the Trail Blazers players, anyway, it's just one, pinching two guns to death.

Just bullying the rest of you with weak offensive firepower, poor long-distance basket, and hitting the basket?Then please, we can't ask for more.

If you can't open up the space, don't you want to drop the Lakers' No. 29 to make time difference.

Be honest, play traditional offense and singles well.

This might be more effective.

When Tang Qian played inside, Feng Lai was directly fouled, but it was still invalid. His antagonism was not worth mentioning in front of No. 29 of the Lakers.It's good that Tang Qian didn't blow him up into scum.This is how the Trail Blazers are now. These paper spiders, even if they are inside, have little effect.Because the confrontation is not enough, Tang Qian can push it away with a light touch, and then in front is the golden road, a flat river.

The Trail Blazers can only use their ultimate move. The most commonly used pick-and-roll method for their two guns is to quickly enter the game in one step after the pick-and-roll. Using their own mobility and dexterity, they can drill through at once, penetrate the defensive line, and achieve a breakthrough. Lose the purpose of the opponent's double-team encirclement.This trick has been tried and tested in the regular season. The Trail Blazers' two guns are not tall, and a cat's waist accelerates. It is indeed easy to cause how to put it...penetrating effect.

But tonight, the Lakers let them see what is real defense and what is called small tricks.It was really scary, and the on-site commentators of the Trail Blazers were also a little stunned, because the moment Lillard used the pick-and-roll to pass... the Lakers suddenly appeared in front of him, and three people appeared! ! !Yes, there are 3 people, Rondo + Randall + Ariza! ! !
His middle lane and the first-time delivery route were all blocked, so he could only retreat while dribbling the ball again, and then he could pass the basketball in his hand after reaching the top arc again.What is defense?What is a defensive system?This is the perfect demonstration for the Lakers.They made the Trail Blazers' usual ultimate move, and now it has become a paper knife, soft and no threat.

Even if Lillard wanted to be blocked by Aminu at that moment, he had no chance. The three of them came too fast, and Lillard's own line of sight and vision were completely blocked.Then you can also quickly see that Lillard has not passed yet, Ariza and Randall who just came over quickly dispersed again, one returned to his defender, and the other stepped near the free throw line , Ready to interfere or go up again to help defend at any time.

Defensive system, the Lakers are too strong. Fortunately, this is the era of "civilized basketball". If it was placed before 2005, wouldn't it be against the sky?Even now, it is difficult to break.It's not that they are really invincible, but to put it bluntly, the Blazers' attack power against themselves is not enough, nor is it enough to watch, or it is bigger, not enough to break the defense.

In addition, the Lakers' No. 29 is really unstoppable. He is actively stuck in the position and singles, and he often makes some air cuts or direct air catches without anyone noticing.This is really uncomfortable for people who defend him.I thought to myself, you are a big 7-foot man, and your agility attribute point is... taller than me?Then we are playing ball.

There is no advantage at all, okay?

The Trail Blazers managed to play a few tactical shots, but because of the huge blocking power of the No. 29 basket, they ended up without a problem.

This, this is a fart.

There is no way, the Trail Blazers are soft on both ends of the offense and defense, and the Lakers are hard on both hands.

This is tantamount to offensive and defensive suppression.The head coach of the Trail Blazers still wanted to try, so in the end he took a risk and replaced Allen Crabbe.This is a person who is 198cm tall but has a wingspan of 211cm.Well, another cardboard Spider-Man.Perhaps for him, he is not too light in his position, but if he is to help the inside line and defend Tang Qian, that is another matter.Harden is very strong, he can be regarded as a heavy guard, with a tonnage of more than 220 pounds, but...you let him defend the peak O'Neal, no, even if it is the peak Howard, you try it?

It would be strange if he doubted his life, that is to say, in modern times, the tonnage of inside lines is relatively small, so he can take advantage of the low-post defense.Otherwise, in the age of center forwards and insiders, if he did this, he would be humiliating himself.court death.

But Crabbe, who averaged 4% of the three-pointers per game in the regular season, doesn't know what happened in this year's playoffs.

In the beginning, the Lakers put Ariza in the past to defend him, but Ariza realized that this guy couldn't score.Therefore, the further the defense is, the farther it is, and even in the end it directly starts to help defend everywhere.For a shooter, if the three-pointer is considered to be no threat, then his role on the court will be greatly reduced.In Yuan Shikong, his score in the playoffs this season has shrunk by twice that of the regular season, and his three-point shooting percentage has also... doubled.

It dropped directly from 4% to 4%.

Such a hit rate, isn't it the Portland blacksmith?Then why are you so serious about defending?
As a result, instead of being opened up after Crabbe came up, the space for the Blazers became smaller and smaller.

This almost made the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Terry Stotts, jump up and scold her.Of course, it is to scold Crabbe, the iron mother.

Since the teammates can't stretch out the space and the ability to attack independently is not enough, almost all the defensive focus has begun to focus on the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt.The result of this is that the number 29 on the opposite side is bang bang bang, dunks jingle, they bang bang bang, irons jingle.

Although it was only the first half of the match, the tone had already been set.

Tang Qian ravaged the inside line and swept across the wilderness, hitting these paper spiders and the space inside line all over the place. The Trail Blazers' two guns in the backcourt were just the opposite. They were double-teamed and almost breathless, as if no matter where they went It's the Zijin Army, both of them are the Lakers.Such a fight would naturally get worse and worse, and the score difference would also get bigger and bigger.

Portland's backcourt double guns have become Portland's backcourt iron guns, bang bang bang bang bang~
It was another game where the score difference widened to more than 15 points in the first half. In this game, even ESPN host Rachel Knicks could see that the Trail Blazers were half buried.

Only God can save them.

Unfortunately, here in Portland, there is no God.

This round of the series is, basically, over.

PS: A big chapter of 5k is coming. Okay, Xiao Zi was too sleepy yesterday, it really can’t be done. Recently, the weather has changed from cold to hot, and people feel that they are getting older and their health is not as good as before. Let me sigh, what was the wind and rain back then? Hit, nothing at all.Now even a little wind blowing will give me a headache, alas.

So this year, it looks like it's really a Lu Yong battle?The Bucks are even better than expected.

Brother Antetokounmpo should be the MVP of this year, right? I feel that the playoffs are indeed better than Harden leading the team, and the players around him are not as good as Harden. Is it time to restart the era of single giants?I really want to watch this year's finals.
