Chapter 470: This score is not even enough to feed the cat, it is just enough to feed the turtles coming out of the sewer!
The rotation was rotated in the second quarter. Sefolosha of the Thunder was sidelined due to a minor injury. Scott Brooks could still arrange a rich lineup with Perkins, Collison, Su Bei, Harden and Maynor.
The Trail Blazers are pretty okay. After all, Crawford, who is known as the 6th scorer, is in charge, and there is also the talented Batum. The rest are mediocre. The 38-year-old Kurt Thomas and the 38-year-old Kurt Thomas are used to make up the number in 2006.
Round Craig Smith.
Fortunately, Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan is still savvy and keeps player Matthews on the court.
When the game started, the Trail Blazers took possession of the ball.
Batum received the ball in the frontcourt and played as a point forward. After three threats, he took a step and broke through with the ball. He tried his mid-range shot, which was the kind of emergency stop.
Su Bei clung to him like brown sugar. Facing Batum's emergency stop, he didn't care. He stretched out his right hand to cover his eyes, and then bet that there were no bullets in his mid-range shot pistol.
Bang-dang——!
"The attack is beautiful, the defense is even better!
Su Bei did not get used to Batum's strong attack and defended him firmly.
The rebound was grabbed by Perkins. The Trail Blazers rotated their lineup and sent out a five-small lineup with Kurt Thomas as the center. It was difficult to grab offensive rebounds.
During the Thunder's counterattack, Maynor brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed the ball to Harden.
The Thunder's third youngest player broke through with the ball, changed direction, mobilized Matthews' center of gravity, paused, and immediately European-stepped the ball for a layup..."
Matthews' offense is good, and his defense is just more active. However, his physical talent is still overwhelmed, especially Harden's breakthrough skills are very powerful, and he really can't stand it.
In less than two moves, Harden got the better of him.
Peng, shua——!
"Driving the ball for a layup, Harden faced Matthews, and the advantage was on Harden's side.
They both debuted in 2009, Harden was the third overall pick, and Matthews was only an undrafted player. It’s not without reason.
In the duel between the rookies in 2009, Harden’s talent and skills can be seen with the naked eye..."
23 to 29!
The score difference became 6 points.
Harden and Su Bei are on offense and defense. Do you call this a rotation?
I have never heard of Tan Hwa Lang being a substitute for two years with good potential.
Now the Trail Blazers have heard that the lineup cannot compare, so they can only make adjustments to the lineup to maximize their offensive attributes and regain the lost points.
"The Trail Blazers attacked, and the five small lineups spread out. Matthews held the ball and challenged Harden. He stepped down and dribbled continuously, changed directions and broke through. His center of gravity was very low. He was 1.93 meters tall and had good speed.
Harden didn't know what he was doing, but he was very active on defense.
It's just a pity that Matthews doesn't follow martial ethics, he pulled up the ball in a pull-up, and then he shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Harden was outpaced and fell behind step by step. He stretched out his hand passively and could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Matthews made a strong two-point shot and scored.
"Hong Kong can really go from being undrafted to the shooting guard position quickly, and he really has a lot of points in terms of scoring.
The scoring ability is too strong, and Harden defended well, but he still couldn't stand it."
25 to 29!
Off the court, Scott Brooks had a calm face.
The Thunder's defense will lose points, which makes sense!
After all, the Trail Blazers are just rushing to score points. They use five small lineups, and their offensive attributes are improved, but their defensive attributes are weak. What can they use to support their defense?
It's just that the Thunder can't defend, and the Trail Blazers can't even try to defend.
"Harden stepped down and dribbled, dribbling the ball past Matthews. He was also unable to withstand it. Matthews could only fight and retreat.
Hey, Batum and Kurt Thomas moved and pounced on Harden to double attack.
Harden stepped forward to meet the man and made a European layup. It was the end.
What? The basketball is separated from the basket. Which move is Harden going to make?
So that’s it, Su Bei received the ball from the left three-point corner, and when it was empty, he raised his hand and shot a three-point corner jump shot..."
Batum has excellent athletic ability, 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——!
"With Su Bei's three-pointer, Harden's breakthrough pass, and the Thunder's Xiao Wang combination exploded.
What can the Trail Blazers do to support..."
You can't stand it!
25 to 32!
The score difference becomes 7 points.
The Thunder continued their lead.
"It is very possible that the Thunder copied the Trail Blazers' homework and started the second quarter by continuously attacking the basket.
With the Trail Blazers' IQ... no, the lineup, it's impossible to protect the basket.
If the Thunder dare to shrink in, they will treat the Trail Blazers' long-range shots, especially the three-point shots, as if they are alive. However, the Thunder's three-pointers have Su Bei to cover them. Leaving them open will be fatal!
Next, let’s see how the Trail Blazers respond..."
How to deal with it?
If the bench can’t compete, how else can we deal with it?
They had no choice. They also wanted to be good and play a steady style of play, but the lineup was downgraded and they had no choice but to make risky moves.
Huashan is on the same road, continue to attack and fight against bombs, and defensively can only adapt to the situation. At best, you can't defend yourself, and the Thunder team can't even try to defend it.
"Matthews challenged Harden again, and Su Bei rushed to defend and attack.
What the hell?
Matthews hit one and two others, so they stopped together and continued to make two-point fadeaway jumpers..."
Swish——!
25 to 32!
Still on target!
"It's so explosive. In terms of physical talent, Matthews is far inferior to Harden and Su Bei.
But playing basketball is not only about talent, but also about momentum. Matthews played very strongly and scored unstoppably..."
No problem, guys who can be drafted from the undrafted draft have their own strong food players.
For example: Big Ben's defense.
Bowen's defense.
John Starks' crazy offensive score.
If you don’t have strong skills, what can you use to counterattack?
Matthews and Starks have very similar styles, with very high offensive attributes and crazy attributes, which are really hard to beat.
In the next game, although the Thunder were still able to score, Harden broke through to the basket and assisted Collison to score at the basket.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Matthews' touch was too hot, and he scored three goals in a row, which withstood the scoring advantage of the Thunder's lineup.
"The Trail Blazers are not making much money. Matthews' scoring ability not only solves the Trail Blazers' scoring problem, but also solves the scoring problem in the rotation.
This is the reason why the Trail Blazers can win 4 consecutive games in the new season. Matthews’ sudden emergence perfectly solved the dilemma of the Trail Blazers relying only on Aldridge to score..."
The Trail Blazers, led by Matthews, are on full fire.
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 pass, against Maynor's defense, he raised his hand and scored a pull-up three-pointer.
"pretty!
The Trail Blazers lined up to press the opponent, Matthews finished, and Crawford, as the superstar in the rotation, immediately showed his scoring talent in the rotation, and he is still unstoppable..."
Then, Crawford dribbled with his back, broke through Maynor's defense, went inside, and hit a pull-up jumper, closing the gap to just two points.
Scott Brooks couldn't bear it anymore and replaced Maynor with Westbrook, who was beaten by Crawford.
However, when Crawford's offense was stopped, Batum stepped forward again.
First, he hit a three-pointer against Su Bei's block. Then, using the screen, he made an air cut without the ball, received Crawford's pass, made a two-point layup, and continued to score.
"Before Crawford came to the Trail Blazers, Batum was the Trail Blazers' sixth man.
You must know that Matthews’ style and characteristics are also very suitable for playing as the sixth man..."
Damn it, the Trail Blazers have collected three players with sixth man attributes. Are you afraid?
Maybe the Thunder can say that they are not afraid. After all, a cornerstone player like Harden is also playing as the sixth man. It is the Trail Blazers who should be afraid.
It's just a pity, enough is enough!
The five small lineups formed by the Trail Blazers perfectly completed the scoring task assigned by the head coach.
Five minutes later, Trail Blazers star Aldridge returned to the court.
In the rotation battle, the Trail Blazers faced the Thunder's rich battle and gained a lead by relying on the five small lineups with improved offensive attributes.
When Durant and Yin Baka returned to the court, the Thunder's lineup changed to Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, Harden, and Weisbroke. With full offensive attributes, the Trail Blazers
In the confrontation, he withstood the Thunder's offensive.
"Westbrook broke through with the ball, penetrated Felton's defense, stopped the zombie and shot a pull-up jumper...
Bang-dang——!
The iron is deflected.
Westbrook's shooting skills are still cooling down, he can't hit the ball and will just hang around on the outside."
…
"Here it comes again, thanks to Westbrook's breakthrough, Felton's defense was broken into a sieve.
Bang-dang——!
Dribbling the ball and forcing a layup, the shot from the basket was missed again.
To be fair, the offensive opportunity came out, but it's a pity that Westbrook just couldn't get in."
…
Westbrook continued to play music and then showed off his iron show. In the second quarter, he only made 1 of 6 shots. Among them, he also failed to score 2 of 0 three-pointers.
Unfortunately, he only had eyes for the basket.
Ignoring Su Bei, Harden, and even Durant around him, under the leadership of Westbrook's old 6, the two sides faced off in the second quarter 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 to 56.
The Thunder entered the locker room to rest with only a 1-point lead.
Westbrook made 1 of 4 in the first quarter, 1 of 6 in the second quarter, and 2 of 10. He only scored 6 points and 4 assists.
Durant made 3 of 4 in the second quarter and 2 of 5 in the first quarter, scoring 13 points, which was pretty good.
Subei 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 could not resist someone holding back. It was able to defeat the Trail Blazers, but only led by 1 point.
This small amount of points is not even enough to feed the cats, but is all fed to the turtles in the sewers.
