Chapter 695. 695. Bad Start
D'Antoni can only replace Green with Biyombo, who will have a bigger advantage in rebounding and stronger interior defense.
However, with Green, the Lakers' frontcourt organization ability plummeted. The Lakers also played handcuffed due to foul problems, and their play tactics were suddenly destroyed. They were in a circle for a while. In the 8th minute of the first quarter, The Lakers are already 17 points behind the Blazers 25 to 8.
D'Antoni called a timeout. There was an arrangement for the official timeout before, but it didn't help. D'Antoni also had a headache. When he met a female referee, she was upright. You can't do anything about her. It's useless to say good things, you can only play well It's very discreet, but it's very different from their style.
Unlike young coaches, these old coaches know very well how much the referee’s blowing calls have an impact on a championship team. Except for the unlovable teams like the Spurs and Pistons in the early years, other championship teams basically Most of the time, whistleblowing is very loose, which makes the players of the championship team generally play more casually. For example, Wade habitually flips his wrist, and Kobe habitually moves his foot to break through before the ball is shot. Garnett does not stand still when picking and rolling, but moves while picking and rolling, Nowitzki jumps and stretches his legs, etc...
The Lakers have been the top team in the past three years, and some habits have been developed. For example, Green's defense likes to use those overhand defenses that can be boasted or not. Whiteside is used to pressing the opponent with one hand with a huge size advantage. The referees are used to it, but all of a sudden they have to call fouls, and the Lakers really had a difficult start.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Lillard finally showed his hidden fangs at the beginning, and caught the Lakers scoring consecutively during this period of restraint, leading the Blazers to lead the Lakers by 8 points in an away game.
Both the Lakers and Trail Blazers began to make substitutions.
The Blazers replaced Brian Roberts, Aminu, Luis Mondello, Ed Davis and Miles Leonard.
This lineup looks really miserable, except for Aminu and Ed Davis who are relatively high-quality role players, Myles Leonard is also not bad, and the other two were picked up from the Summer League last summer base salary...
The Lakers replaced Clarkson, McCollum, Liu Ren, Biyombo, and Gasol.
The game continues, the Lakers have the ball.
Liu Ren held the ball and advanced to the Trail Blazers' half. D'Antoni put on these three backcourts, and the tactics he arranged were three outsiders who continued to score singles!
Under the horrified gaze of Brian Roberts, Liu Ren ran over him and rushed inside.
Seeing Liu Ren rushing up, the team members of the Blazers hurriedly gathered in the middle, intending to shoot Liu Ren to death in the middle section. Liu Ren also saw the trap that the Blazers had prepared for him, so Liu Ren After arriving near the Lakers' three-second zone, he turned around and leaned against Brian Roberts next to him, and passed the ball to McCollum who followed up.
McCollum received the ball and sent it to Gasol who stretched the space, and McCollum ran towards Gasol himself.
After Gasol got the ball, he passed the ball to McCollum who was running towards him, blocked the chasing player, and McCollum cut to the basket and made a layup.
The Lakers played very nimbly and briskly, and the Blazers did not show weakness here. They had no scruples at all. Any unknown player would dare to shoot with the ball. At the same time, they also knew that their personal abilities were not good enough. The coach's tactics are playing, and the Blazers are running very fast.
The ball was passed quickly. Although the Blazers passed the ball beautifully, they lacked a little something, and the inside killing ability was insufficient!
When the Blazers realized this, Ed Davis turned around and squeezed up the Lakers' inside line. Ed Davis' physical fitness is the best among the Blazers' inside players.
Ed Davis is also a short insider. Facing Biyombo with muscles, it is very hard to carry Biyombo. The ball is in the hands of Aminu, but Aminu did not catch it firmly. McCollum had already caught up when he ran over from one side.
Aminu ran out of time and could only take a shot. There was not enough time to make a shot and there was a defender in front of him. The shot was missed.
The ball jumped on the rim, and Biyombo received the rebound into his arms.
The Lakers counterattacked, and the two teams replaced the small players. The back-and-forth offensive and defensive rhythm was very fast. The ball was in the hands of Liu Rendi. Liu Ren rushed to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball to McCollum. After receiving the ball and dribbling one step, he crossed it to Clarkson who came up behind him.
The counterattacks of Liu Ren and McCollum have attracted all the Blazers who were chasing up, and Clarkson went straight to the basket and easily dunked.
The Lakers' substitute players came up to play extremely fast, while the Trail Blazers' substitutes were weak and weak. The Blazers' advantage in the first round finally took advantage of the Lakers' bewilderment, and their advantages gradually disappeared after their substitutes came on the court.
The Blazers' bench, after failing once, attacked in the Lakers' half court again, and they failed again.When the Blazers were playing back, Brian Roberts didn't dare to dribble too much in front of Liu Ren, and his dribbling was not bad, but his style of play was the bankruptcy version of Westbrook's. Law, the kind that relies on his body to play, but his physical fitness is really average. He was ok in college, 1.8 meters tall, fast and strong, but he was directly defeated in the draft. Compared with NBA players, he It is the average speed and average size, which is incomparable to Westbrook, and Liu Ren is the type of defensive player that Westbrook fears most. When this type of player meets Liu Ren and James Defenders can only play with desperation.
Brian Roberts was so defended by Liu Ren that he was going to collapse, and he handed the ball to Ed Davis to handle it. Ed Davis felt uncomfortable holding the ball himself. He didn't even think of it. After arriving in the Trail Blazers, he actually became the team's No. [-] organizer inside. He was a rebounder before!
Ed Davis saw Biyombo playing comfortably on the Lakers side, and expressed envy and hatred. His style of play is similar to that of Biyombo, and his strength is similar. Although he played for the Lakers that season, his salary was a little less. , only 98 US dollars, but the game is comfortable and happy!He averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds per game. Now that the Trail Blazers have more possessions and more money, they still have to do things that they are not good at. The average per game has become 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.5 times. mistakes, this assist-to-turnover ratio is simply a scumbag against the sky.
