The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 264, Iron Fortress—First half.

In the summer of 2008, the high-spirited Roy waited for Greg Oden in the training camp, the No. A new insider partner.

Although the Blazers lost a lot of players in the summer, the departure of those people was not as good as the impact of Miller's joining on the Blazers.

The former assist leader greatly relieved Roy's ball-holding pressure on the offensive end, making Roy more comfortable on the offensive end in the new season.

Howard and Pendergraf and others have greatly enhanced the strength of the fourth position.Compared with last season, the strength of the Blazers has been significantly enhanced.

Blazers get: Miller (PG), Juwan Howard (PF), Udoka (SF), Pendergraf (PF/rookie), Cunningham (F/rookie)

Lost in the summer: Rodriguez (PG), Frye (PF), Diogu (PF), Shavik Randolph (PF)

Speaking of the Blazers, Li Senlin was most impressed by two things.

The first one was to overwhelm Durant in the 2007 draft and become the No. [-] pick. Oden was destroyed by injuries and became a genius.

The second is that in their fifth game last season, Huang Mambaroy beat a fateful opponent-the Houston Rockets in 0.8 seconds.

Before the end of the game, Yao Ming made a mid-range shot, 99-98,

Only a brief 0.8 seconds left for the Blazers.

At the end of the timeout, Roy cleverly ran beyond the three-point line, caught the ball and shot it instantly, but Artest on the side and McGrady on the front had no time to block it, and the basketball hit the net with an arc.

At that moment, the Rose Garden Stadium was boiling, and Roy and his teammates embraced and celebrated.

The voice of "MVP" resounded throughout the audience.

The shock that that goal brought to the Rockets fans was huge! ! !
The number of lore shots in Yao Ming's career has returned to 0.

Overall, last season's Blazers gave people a bright feeling. Not only did the Blazers achieve an excellent record of 54 wins and 28 losses (the best record in the past 9 years), they also returned to the season after a lapse of 6 years. The stage of the playoffs, but the inexperienced they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, which also fulfilled the Rockets' wish to break the curse in the first round.

Roy played the pinnacle of his career last season.

2008年12月19日罗伊化为了太阳队的噩梦，罗伊将他的个人攻击力完美地展现了出来，27投14中拿到了52分，还有令人咂舌的21中19的罚球，08到09整个赛季场均22+5+5，PER 24.1，季后赛6场26.7+4.8，PER 25.9，入选最佳阵容二阵。

Roy's skills in holding the ball and jumping from the high position are superb. When laying up, his left hand and right hand are basically the same. There is no gorgeous crossover, but he can mix five or six fake moves in a dribble.

Even though Roy's speed is slightly attenuated this season due to injuries compared to the 08-09 season, he has a better grasp of the time difference and is the only reliable ball-handling breakthrough player in the Trail Blazers.

The time soon came to the night of the game.

The auditorium at the Ford Center is still full. After this game, the Thunder will play away again.

The Blazers sent a luxurious starting lineup: PG: Miller, SG: Roy, SF: Batum, PF: Aldridge, C: Oden

After Li Senlin saw the familiar faces on the opposite side, his expression instantly became bitterer than a bitter melon. The Blazers did not have a weak player in the starting lineup, and the Blazers were still sitting on the bench: Bayless (PG), Blake (PG), Fernandez (SG), Outlaw (SF), Przybilla (C), Webster (SG), Howard (PF) and other powerful rotation players.

Their current lineup is much deeper than the Thunder. It would be hard to play if the Thunder had all the starters, not to mention three of the top five starters.
Still the most important brother three.

Even though Section 8 was possessed, Li Senlin knew the difficulty of this game.

Thunder's lineup is: PG: Li Senlin, SG: Harden, SF: Sefolosha, PF: Collison, C: Ibaka
After the start of the first quarter.

Roy showed his personal offensive ability vividly and exquisitely.

Roy made a breakthrough layup, Roy made a three-pointer, and Roy made a catch and jumper, scoring 7 points in a row.

Li Senlin was taken care of by the Blazers. The Blazers sent Outlaw-James Jones-Roy to use the wheel tactics to defend Li Senlin. In addition, Li Senlin's opening touch was not good, and he missed three consecutive shots.

The Portland Trail Blazers gave the Thunder a 7-0 start.

Brooks yelled to stop immediately! !
Rearrange the tactics and activate the emergency plan. If the Thunder lags behind too much, there is no way to catch up.

after a pause.

The Blazers continued to launch a fierce attack against the guest, forcing Li Senlin to focus on defense. Li Senlin came back from a timeout and fouled Roy on the defensive end. Roy made two free throws.

For the time being, Harden and Ibaka are mainly in charge of the Thunder's offense. At this time, Harden used the Blazers' unfamiliarity with him to force the Thunder's offense to diversify.

With 10 minutes left in the first quarter, Sefolosha intercepted the ball and quickly passed the ball to Li Senlin who was going down quickly.

Facing the opponent's defensive player, Li Senlin did not choose to lay up directly, but passed the ball back to Ibaka. Ibaka's layup was fouled by his opponent and he made two free throws.

Immediately after the next round, Ibaka reciprocated and passed the ball to Li Senlin who quickly inserted in the interior. Li Senlin made an easy layup and Li Senlin scored the first point.

Since then, Li Senlin's performance on the offensive end has not been good. Outlaw, who is tall and long, has effectively restricted Li Senlin's performance.

Li Senlin only made 7 of 1 shots in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, Li Senlin only scored 6 points and 1 steal.

After the start of the second quarter, the Blazers more effectively restricted Li Senlin's performance, and they kept playing against the Thunder.

Li Senlin played 3 minutes later in the second quarter, and it was difficult for Li Senlin to get a chance in the face of the Blazers' strict defense.

With 6 minutes and 40 seconds left in the second quarter, Li Senlin faced Outlaw's defense, forced a breakthrough layup and caused a foul by the opponent, but unfortunately missed the penalty.

After that, the Blazers continued to send James Jones and Roy to defend Li Senlin. This wheel defensive tactic was very successful. Li Senlin only made 7 of 2 shots in the second quarter and scored 6 points and 2 assists.

In addition, on the defensive end, Li Senlin's performance is not good.

Before the end of the first half, Li Senlin also failed to prevent Roy's breakthrough layup, which not only allowed the Blazers to maintain a 10-point lead, but also damaged his face at home.

The biggest advantage of the Blazers now is that they have assembled all young talents into one team. From the first to the fifth positions, whether they are the main force or the substitute, they can find strong or potential players.

The Blazers coach McMillan does not have a lot of brain trouble when he is arranging troops. Even if the main players are troubled by injuries, he is fully able to find suitable players to make up the lineup.

In addition, the joining of Miller will greatly enrich the Blazers' offensive tactics.

In addition to the routines around Roy and Aldridge last season, the Blazers also played a smoother offense under the leadership of Miller.

The former NBA assists leader greatly relieved Roy's pressure on the offensive end, and the inside line controlled by Aldridge and Oden got many easy scoring opportunities in the first half.

Miller's outburst increased the scoring data of every player in the Blazers. Throughout the first half, the former assist king's ability was fully demonstrated. .

The most depressing thing for Li Senlin was that he had just recovered from his injury in this match against Emperor Oden...

At halftime, 56 to 46.

The Blazers lead the Thunder away by 10 points.

Li Senlin only scored 14 points on 3 of 12 shots in the first half.
