Standing pretty old

Chapter 589 The Confidence of the Pioneers
The fact that the head coach can say this fully proves that the team has shown confidence.

Is the Blazers' self-confidence too much?

It's really bad!

First of all, the youth army has always had the ability to play miraculous games under the trend. Once they play crazy, who knows what they can do.

More critically, the Eagles are now under significant pressure.

On the surface, Woodson's delayed substitution was to allow Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen to get enough rest time. In fact, the deeper consideration was to ensure the team's endurance.

Ever since he and Erniu repeatedly discussed the possibility of breaking through to 72 wins in the season, Woodson has gradually become more conservative. He also seems to understand that blindly pursuing records will most likely lead to the loss of the game.

It can be said that after the All-Star Game, the Hawks' difficult schedule has just begun.

The second half began quickly, with both sides returning their starting lineups back to the field.

According to the usual practice, the Hawks will show off their inviolable demeanor in the third quarter, using waves of powerful offensive and defensive transitions to take down their opponents.

Ruan Erniu held the ball in a high position, broke through Przybilla's defense with his speed advantage, made a beautiful lateral move in the air, dodged Adelaide's help defense, and successfully sent the ball into the basket.

In the second quarter of the game, Er Niu and other main players had a long rest time, and their physical fitness was sufficient.

Roy received the bottom line ball and did not pass it to Steve Blake, but directly dribbled the ball across the half, and the core players took control of the ball. This is a harbinger of strengthening personal attacks.

Roy scored 12 points in the first half and had 4 rebounds. In fact, Roy is still in a semi-stealth state. The yellow mamba has not yet shown his fangs.

Roy, who is in control of the ball from outside, carefully observes the situation on the field. Roy's style is like this. He uses his body and technology reasonably while reading the game well, and then combines the ball with man to complete the fatal blow in an instant.

According to the data analysis, when Jiong Jisen confronted Roy, most of the situations were comprehensively dominated by data.

It's no wonder, after all, Jon Jonson has richer game experience, just like 06 years ago, in the record of McGrady and James' fight, McGrady often beat James' existence, but with the growth of Ah KING, and McGrady Injury, after 06, James in turn became the existence that beat McGrady.

Jon Jonson has never encountered a McGrady-style horrible injury, and his style of play is far less serious in terms of physical wear and tear, but Roy is heading towards his heyday.

"Whoosh!"

Roy didn't use any cover. Two consecutive CROSSOVERs swayed away and entered the penalty area. Er Niu rushed forward immediately, and the two met in the air!
"Where's the ball!?"

The speed at which Roy entered the danger zone did not seem to be fast, but the entire attack process was in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention that Ruan Erniu, who was flying in the air, failed to grasp Roy's shot, even the camera replay failed to let the audience understand how the ball fell into the basket once.

The on-site commentator watched the replay footage again and realized that Roy, who was jumping up with the basketball high up, just before meeting Kaf Ruan in the air, flicked his fingers and completed a fingertip pick at a certain moment.

That's Brandon Roy!

This is the Yellow Mamba!

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Bibby passed the ball to Jon Jonsen, who broke through and passed the ball to Lunar Eclipse. Lunar Eclipse thought the opportunity was bad and gave the ball to Salmons. Salmon made a hit land, and sent the ball to Er Niu's hands.

Ruan Erniu instantly attracted Pulzbila and Aldridge's defense, and the Chinese successfully compressed the Blazers' defensive line, and then returned the ball to Mike Bibby.

Bibby made an open shot from outside the three-point line, and the big-hearted shooter hit the three-pointer steadily.

Even if the Blazers performed very well on the offensive end, the overall strength of the Hawks still has an advantage.

On the offensive end of the home team, Roy chose to break through with the ball again. After reaching the inside, he also compressed the Eagles' defense line, and then the yellow mamba gave the ball to Adele who was open. Step-back jumper from 10 feet and put the ball into the basket.

The eclipse failed to keep up with people, but in this position, even if his defense is in place, it is generally difficult to restrain the fiery Aldridge.

Jiong Jisen was not to be outdone on the offensive end. After CROSSOVER passed Roy, he made a 20-foot long-range mid-range shot and added 2 points for the Eagles.

In turn, Roy immediately responded with a step-back emergency stop jumper, and also hit a long-range 2-pointer.

There were times when the two sides hit iron one after another, but for most of the third quarter, the two teams were clinging to the score, and the point difference never reached double digits.

Being able to compete with the defending champions can fully prove the progress of the Blazers this season.

Przybilla and Blake were then replaced by Travis Outlaw and Rudy Fernandez.

As a three-and-four forward, Outlaw averaged 13.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game last season. He is only 6 feet 9 inches tall, but he still has a certain shooting ability in the mid-range.

Nate McMillan's substitutions are obvious. To increase the offensive strength is to fight the Eagles to the end!

For the youth army, there is nothing more important than self-confidence!
Only self-confidence can allow them to overcome obstacles and make the impossible possible.

The Hawks did this last season, and so did the Trail Blazers this season.

After Batum received the pass from Roy, he shot directly from outside the three-point line. His hand feeling in this game was terrible, but facing the open space, the Gaul still chose to make a brave shot.

"boom!"

Bravery cannot replace strength, strike the iron!

Adler bravely dialed the ball, and the basketball flew to Rudy Fernandez behind him.

In this All-Star Game, the Spanish trapeze had a chance to participate in the slam dunk contest, but the league finally chose Ruan Erniu, who had a bigger gimmick, but Fernandez himself was not convinced. He felt that he deserved such an opportunity.

Fernandez got the frontcourt rebound on the wing, leaped high after a dribble, and wanted to attack the basket directly. Eclipse is also a guy with amazing jumping ability, of course he will not give the Spaniard a chance to perform.

Rudy Fernandez in the air knew that things could not be done, so he immediately changed the dunk into a throw, avoided the block of the eclipse, and sent the ball with a backhand.

Ruan Erniu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately flew up and hit the ball on the backboard with a big cap.

"puff!"

Just when everyone thought that the Blazers' offense was exhausted and unable to fight again, LaMarcus Aldridge squeezed into the penalty area, took advantage of the momentum with his height and wingspan, and hit the ball into the basket.

The Hawks have defended to the extreme, but the Blazers have also performed at a super level on the offensive end. They just have a way to get the ball into the basket.

The third quarter of the game is gradually coming to an end, and the Hawks will look back at the big screen:

At 84:80, after working hard for a whole quarter, the score of the two teams is still 4 points, and at this moment the ball for the final attack is still in the hands of the Portlanders.

Roy walked slowly across the half with the ball, and Jon Jonsen didn't dare to be careless. He and Er Niu didn't rest for 1 minute in the third quarter, but they only drew with the Blazers.

In 8 seconds, Roy held the ball in the middle circle.

In 5 seconds, Roy took a tentative step, and then retracted, opening up the breakthrough space.

The Eagles' defense came, and Bibby chose to let go of Batum and defend Roy.

In 4 seconds, the activated Roy passed Bibby and Jiongsen in the gap.

In 3 seconds, Bibby and Jon Jonson, who were defending one after the other, once again blocked Huang Mamba's way from beyond the three-point line.

In 2 seconds, Roy stepped back to pull the ball, and at the same time shook off the Eagles' perimeter defense.

In 1 second, Roy leaned back and shot!

The red indicator light at the end of the single quarter was on, and the basketball fell into the basket with a spin, causing a wave of waves.
