I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 470 These points are not even enough to feed cats, but to feed turtles coming out of the sewer!
In the rotation of the second quarter, Sefoloza in the Thunder team was sidelined due to a minor injury. Scott Brooks can still line up a rich lineup, Perkins, Collison, Subei, Harden and Maynor.

The Trail Blazers are pretty good. After all, Crawford, who is known as the gram 6, is in the lineup, and Batum is outstandingly talented. The rest are mediocre. The 38-year-old Kurt Thomas and the 06 team Round Craig Smith.

Fortunately, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Nate McMillan, still knows how to count and will continue to put starter Matthews on the court.

The game started and the Trail Blazers attacked the ball.

Batum received the ball in the frontcourt and played as a point forward. After three threats, he took a step, broke through with the ball, and tried his mid-range shot, which was still the kind of emergency stop.

Su Bei clung to him like brown candy, facing Batum's sudden stop and shot, he didn't carelessly, stretched out his right hand to cover his eyes, and then bet that there was no bullet in his mid-range shooting pistol.

Bang-dang-!
"The offense is beautiful, and the defense is even more exciting!!

Su Bei didn't get used to Batum's strong attack and defended him firmly.

The rebound was snatched by Perkins. The Trail Blazers rotated the lineup and sent a five-small lineup. The center was played by Kurt Thomas. It was difficult to grab offensive rebounds.

The Thunder counterattacked, Maynor took the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately passed the ball to Harden.

The Thunder's third youngest, broke through with the ball, changed direction, and after mobilizing Matthews' center of gravity, the rhythm paused, and he immediately dribbled the ball for a layup..."

Matthews' offense is good, and his defense is only positive. However, his physical talent is still crushed, especially Harden's breakthrough skills are very strong, and he really can't stand it.

In just two strokes, Harden rushed to the end.

Boom, swish—!
"Have a layup with the ball, Harden is on Matthews, the advantage is on his Harden side.

Both made their debut in 09, Harden was the No. [-] pick, and Matthews only failed the draft, not without reason.

In the rookie showdown in 09, Harden's talent and skills were visible to the naked eye..."

23 to 29! !
The point difference became 6 points.

Harden and Su Bei, one offense and one defense, you call this a rotation lineup?
I've never heard of it. Tanhualang with good potential is the kind who plays as a substitute for two years in a row.

Now the Trail Blazers have heard that the lineup is not comparable, so they can only make adjustments in the lineup, maximize the offensive attributes as much as possible, and regain the lost points.

"The Trail Blazers attacked, and the five small lineups opened up. Matthews singled out Harden with the ball, stepped down and dribbled continuously, changed direction and broke through.

Harden didn't get the hang of it, but he was very active defensively.

It's just a pity that Matthews doesn't talk about martial arts, he stopped and pulled the ball up, and raised his hand to score a two-point jumper with a sudden stop and pull back..."

Harden's speed was crushed, one step behind, step by step behind, stretched out his hand passively, only listening to the gunshot.

Swish-!
With his hands up and down, Matthews made a strong two-pointer.

"Hong Kong was able to go from being undrafted to being the starting shooting guard quickly, and he really has a million points in scoring.

The scoring ability is too strong, Harden's defense is good, but he still can't stand it. "

25 to 29! !
Off the court, Scott Brooks had a calm face.

The Thunder will lose points on the defensive line, which makes sense!

After all, the Trail Blazers rushed to score. In the five small lineups, the offensive attributes have improved, but the defensive attributes are weak. What can they do defensively?
It's nothing more than that the Thunder can't defend, and the Trail Blazers don't even want to defend.

"Harden stepped down and dribbled the ball to force Matthews, but he also couldn't stand it, and Matthews could only fight and retreat.

Hey, Batum and Kurt Thomas moved and rushed over to pinch Harden.

Harden went up to meet the man, Europe made a layup, and it was the end
What?The basket divided the basketball, which one is Harden going to play?

So it turned out that, at the left three-point corner, Su Bei caught the ball, and when it was empty, he raised his hand and made a three-point corner jump shot..."

Batum's athletic ability is excellent, but it's a pity that he can only care about wiping his teammates' butts, but he can't care about the snow in front of his own defense. He can only listen to the gunshot...

Swish-!
"Yes, Su Bei's three-pointer, Harden's breakthrough goal, and the Thunder's Xiao Wang bomb combination exploded.

What will the Trail Blazers do to..."

You can't stand it!
25 to 32! !
The point difference becomes 7 points.

The Thunder continued to take the lead.

"It's very possible that the Thunder copied the Trail Blazers and started the second quarter by going to the rim.

With the IQ of the Trail Blazers... no, the lineup, it is impossible to protect the basket.

The Thunder team dared to shrink in because they did not regard the Blazers' long-range shots, especially the three-point shots, as real. However, the Thunder team's three-pointers were covered by Su Bei, and it would be fatal to go short! !

Next, let's see how the Trail Blazers respond..."

How to deal with it?

The bench is incomparable, how else can I deal with it?

They have no choice, they also want to be a good person and play a solid style of play, but the lineup has been hit by dimensionality reduction, so they can only take risks.

Huashan is one way, continue to attack on the offensive, and defensively can only be content with the situation. At most, I can't defend myself, and the Thunder can't even try to defend.

"It was Matthews who singled out Harden again, and Su Bei rushed to the defense to attack.

What the hell?

Matthews hit one, and two also hit, so they cleaned up together, and continued to stop for two points and make fadeaway jump shots..."

Swish-!
25 to 32! !
Return! !
"It's too explosive. In terms of physical talent, Matthews is far inferior to Harden and Su Bei.

But playing basketball is not only talent, but also momentum, Matthews played very strong, scoring unstoppable..."

No way, the guys who can be played from the undrafted picks all have their own tough eating guys.

For example: Big Ben's defense.

Bowen's defense.

John Starks' madman's offensive scoring.

If you don't have strong skills, what can you use to counterattack?

The styles of Matthews and Starks are very similar, the offensive attribute is very full, and there is also a cramp attribute, which is really not good.

In the next game, although the Thunder were still able to score, Harden drove to the basket and assisted Collison to get to the basket.

However, Matthews' touch was too hot, and he scored three consecutive goals, which withstood the Thunder's scoring advantage under the crushing lineup.

"The Trail Blazers are not making much money. Matthews' scoring ability not only solves the scoring problem of the Trail Blazers' starting lineup, but also solves the scoring problem of the rotation lineup.

This is the reason why the Trail Blazers can win 4 consecutive victories in the new season. Matthews' sudden rise perfectly solved the predicament that the Trail Blazers only relied on Aldridge to score..."

Under the leadership of Matthews, the Trail Blazers are fully fired.

And this is just the beginning.

When the Thunder stepped up their defense against Matthews, Crawford, known as the super sixth man in the rotation, took over Matthews' baton.

After receiving Batum's point, against Maynor's defense, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

"pretty!!

The Trail Blazers lineup is perfect, Matthews is out, and Crawford, as a superstar in the rotation, immediately showed his scoring talent in the rotation, and he is still unstoppable..."

Then, seeing Crawford dribble with his back, broke through Maynor's defense, went to the inside, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop, chasing the point difference to only two points.

Scott Brooks couldn't bear it anymore, and replaced Maynor, who was blown up by Crawford, with Westbrook.

However, when Crawford's offense was pressed down, Batum stood up again.

First, against Jiangsu Bei's block, he made a strong three-pointer, and then, with the screen, cut without the ball, received Crawford's point, succeeded in a layup with two points, and continued to score.

"Before Crawford came to the Trail Blazers, Batum was the sixth man of the Trail Blazers.

You must know that Matthews' style and characteristics are also very suitable for playing the sixth man..."

What the hell, the Trail Blazers collected three players with the attributes of the sixth man, so I'm not afraid to ask you?
Perhaps the Thunder can say that they are not afraid. After all, a cornerstone player like Harden also plays as the sixth man. It should be the Trail Blazers that should be afraid.

It's just a pity, enough is enough!

The five small lineups of the Trail Blazers perfectly completed the scoring task assigned by the head coach.

Five minutes later, Aldridge, the head of the Trail Blazers, returned to the court.

In the rotation, the Trail Blazers faced the Thunder's rich battle, and by virtue of the five small lineups that improved their offensive attributes, they took the lead.

When Durant and Ibaka returned to the court, the Thunder's lineup became Ibaka, Durant, Subei, Harden, Westbrook, and the offensive attributes were full. In the confrontation, withstood the Thunder's offensive.

"Westbrook drives the ball, breaks through Felton, pulls up a dead jumper...

Bang-dang-!
The iron went wide.

Westbrook's shooting skills are still cooling down, he failed to make a hit, and would just dawdle outside. "

……

"Here again, Westbrook's breakthrough, Felton's defense, was broken into a sieve.

Bang-dang-!
Dribbled the ball and forced a layup, and the shot under the basket was sent again.

To be reasonable, the offensive opportunity has come out, but it's a pity that Westbrook just can't get in. "

……

Westbrook continued to play music, and then showed off his iron show. In the second quarter of the game, he only made 6 of 1 shots. Among them, there were 2 of 0 three-pointers, which also failed to score.

Unfortunately, he only has the basket in his eyes.

Ignoring Su Bei, Harden, and even Durant around him, under the leadership of Westbrook's old 6, in the second quarter of the game, the two sides faced each other and were beaten by the Trail Blazers with a score of 33 to 30 .

At the end of the first half, the score was 57-56.

With only a 1-point lead, the Thunder entered the locker room to rest.

威少首节4中1加次节6中1，10中2，仅仅6分4助攻进账。

Durant scored 4 of 3 in the second quarter, 5 of 2 in the first quarter, and scored 13 points, which is not bad.

Jiangsu North scored 8 points in the first quarter, 9 points in the second quarter, and 17 points in the first half. The efficiency was good, but it couldn't stand someone holding back and was able to beat the Trail Blazers' situation. In the end, they only led by 1 point.

This score is not enough to feed the cats, they are all fed to the turtles in the sewer.
