Chapter 209 The mission must reach Liu Han lore part [-]

The Lakers did not let the main players continue to play because the score has been falling behind in the first quarter. The entire series must be at least three games, so George must consider how to ensure that the core players are full of energy, so at the beginning of the second quarter, The Lakers still replaced all the substitute players as in the regular season, and the only starter who was still on the court was point guard Nash.

The Blazers also replaced some substitute players, but they still kept Isaiah Ryder and Rasheed Wallace from resting. On the one hand, it was because the Lakers' bench lineup was relatively strong. Michael Finley and Krikey Tells is not such an easy player to deal with.On the other hand, the Trail Blazers did not have a particularly good attacker on the bench. Except for Walter Williams, who was selected by the Kings with the seventh pick in the first round in 92, who had a certain offensive power, others such as Kevin Cato and others Almost no shooting ability, such a lineup will be very difficult to play as the Lakers' substitute, so the head coach of the Blazers Mike Dunleavy dare not replace Ryder and Wallace, although these two were very tired in the first quarter , especially Ryder, he not only has to play a role in offense, but also defends Liu Han, but fortunately Isaiah Ryder is now 27 years old, which is the age with the most physical strength, and Coach Dunleavy believes that he can hold on.

After coming off the bench, the Lakers began to play more and more. Although the inside line did not have absolute height, their speed has now increased, and all five players on the court have shooting ability, which began to give the Blazers a headache.

Isaiah Ryder really performed very well today. When the Lakers' substitute players launched attacks again and again, it was he who scored back to the opponent again and again so that the Lakers did not narrow the gap in the score. In the first quarter After playing the entire quarter and scoring 13 points, he scored 6 points again in the first 8 minutes of the second quarter, scoring more than [-] points in the half, which has exceeded his scoring average last season.

The Blazers used their desperate game attitude to keep the lead at about five points.Although the Lakers' substitutes also played very well, the Blazers are more fully prepared today.

When the game reached the 6th minute of the second quarter, coach Dunleavy replaced Isaiah Ryder and Rasheed Wallace, and replaced starters such as "Little Flying Mouse" Damon Stoudemire.

George Krent also replaced Liu Han and O'Neill, replacing Finley and Brent Barry.Nash played less time in the first quarter and performed well in the second quarter, so he continued to handle the ball.

Immediately after Liu Han came on the court, he made gains. He relied on O'Neal's cover to get rid of the defense of Trail Blazers substitute Stacy Ogmon and hit a three-pointer from the corner. Compared with Isaiah Ryder's defensive strength, Og Meng is clearly not in a class.

The number one star of the Blazers here, Amare Stoudemire, was not to be outdone. He also relied on his teammate Kevin Cato to cover the outside shot and hit Liu Han's three-pointer.Although Kevin Cato's offense is not very good, his generous body makes his screen quality very high. It took Nash a lot of time to bypass Cato's screen.

The Lakers really didn't play very focused today. Liu Han is still stable but other players are a little confused. The casual game attitude in the regular season before is gone. Except for Liu Han and O'Neal who have experience in the playoffs , The other players were a little at a loss. Originally, Liu Han should be the main attack, but now it seems that everyone wants to attack with the ball, which caused the Lakers' offense to be chaotic.

Liu Han had to go outside as much as possible to ask for the ball. He could see the panic of his teammates, so he had to play more first. However, in defense, Liu Han was still unable to defend the opponent's five players, except for O'Neill. In addition to the inside line putting a lot of pressure on the Blazers' offense, other players played in a mess.

George Krent has been thinking off the court whether to replace the two veterans Byron Scott and Dell Curry. After all, these two have rich experience in the playoffs, but as time goes by, the first half The game is coming to an end soon, and George thinks that in the third quarter, he must replace two veterans for a fight, hoping that these two can bring some changes to the young players.

The second quarter ended with Liu Han hitting a mid-range shot at the buzzer, his last shot to close the gap to two points, a good sign as the Lakers only needed a three-pointer in the second half Overtake the score.

During the intermission, George called the two veterans over, hoping that they would tell these young players with no experience in the playoffs what to pay attention to in the playoffs.

"Don't think about how I can score beautifully, but think about how I can grab that ball. This is my experience. The playoffs are the battlefield, and the ball is the bullet. If you don't have bullets, how can you kill the opponent? We can start with defense first, so that the opponent's offense is not so easy to succeed, and then we can get the opportunity to attack and beat the opponent." Byron Scott has more experience than Dell Curry, after all, he has been staying with the Lakers Team, familiar with the situation of the Lakers.

"Well, I think so too. In the playoffs, everyone must clearly know their position, and don't think beyond their own position. The offense should be as concise as possible. Don't be sloppy when shooting. The opponents in the playoffs will not let go. Any chance of fouling." Dell Curry also talked about some of his own experience.

The young players of the Lakers listened to the veteran's story with some half-understanding.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers made adjustments. Nash was placed on the bench. Veteran Dell Curry played as a shooting guard first. Forward, Michael Finley is the power forward, and the center is still O'Neal.The opponent's fourth position, Rasheed Wallace, shot very accurately and had a high shot point. Robert Horry had a hard time defending in the first half, and the effect was not great. Instead, George simply replaced Michael, who is more mobile. Finley, I hope Finley can use his speed to hinder Wallace from receiving the ball as much as possible.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers were the first to attack. Liu Han dribbled the ball and faced Ryder's defense again after halftime.

Liu Han lowered his center of gravity to dribble, and then suddenly accelerated without warning and broke through from the right side of Ryder's body.Ryder was very focused on defense. He found that Liu Han's speed was faster than his own, so he didn't think about blocking Liu Han's breakthrough line, but chose to cut inside to keep up with Liu Han, and then waited for an opportunity to cut the ball.

However, Ryder's intentions were guessed by Liu Han. Liu Han suddenly retreated and stepped out of the three-point line for a jump shot at the first moment of breaking through Ryder. Three points will overtake the score.

The Blazers were hit by Liu Han after the opening of the second half. They were overtaken by the score, but this did not make the Blazers lose their will. Their preparations for this game were really sufficient. Dunleavy deserves to be a famous coach. Before the start of the game, he analyzed all kinds of situations in the game to the players. He expected the Lakers to overtake the score like this, so the players did not panic too much on the court.

The Blazers still relied on the outside firepower of Stoudemire and Ryder and the inside firepower of Rasheed Wallace to break through the Lakers' defense again and again. After the playoffs, the prototype was revealed, and their defense was still immature compared to other good defensive playoff teams.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately with the progress of the game. The Lakers did not open the score and the Blazers were unable to play an offensive climax. Liu Han was closely defended by the Blazers in the third quarter. As long as he got the ball, the Blazers were bound to win. One person marks, one person waits for an opportunity to attack, and what makes Liu Han even more angry is that the Blazers are very dark in their attacks, and their defensive actions are very large. They will hardly give two plus one opportunities. As long as they make a foul, they will go straight down and pull the opponent down.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by one point 75 to 74. Both teams played extremely hard in this game.
