"This is ESPN, I'm Rachel. The game is the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Portland Trail Blazers..."
"Good morning, dear viewers, this is Tianchao Sports Channel. Today's NBA playoffs is the Lakers vs. Trail Blazers game..."
"This is Penguin Live Broadcast, I am... everyone is welcome to leave messages and post comments~"
Then there were a lot of barrages. Before the game started, they were all about the female anchor. Look at these "idiots". They were all discussing how the female anchor looked, her skirt was nice, her high heels were nice, her legs were cute, etc.
Or who is more beautiful compared to the last female anchor... This is also the normal situation of Penguin online live broadcast. Just get used to it. When the game really starts, the eyes of all straight men will return to the basketball court.
of.
As for it hasn’t started yet, then it’s all smooth sailing and we can look at other balls first, right?
But you have to say that although many people criticized the Penguin live broadcast for being a gimmick, look at it, didn’t everyone discuss it very enthusiastically? This shows that when you say this, your body is still very honest. So this trick is actually
Yes, it works.
Besides, Tianchao Sports Channel also has a beautiful anchor now, right? But its professionalism is much better than that of Penguin. After all, they have prepared lessons, but here they just took the manuscript and memorized it in advance. In fact, it is not at all
I don't know how many people are inside.
The camera turned to Portland's Moda Center. The Lakers' bus drove in and then entered the locker room. After discussing pre-game tactics and countermeasures, they warmed up before the game. In this game, Larry Brown still mentioned
I woke up and told the Lakers players not to underestimate the enemy, because this game is actually a life and death battle for the opponent, and the opponent will definitely fight with all their strength. Everyone must be mentally prepared.
Ever since they were almost killed in the first game, the Lakers players have become much more serious. Everyone nodded and said that in this game, the Portlanders will still have to call us dad.
The Trail Blazers' locker room was in a state of chaos. Head coach Terry Stotts said loudly:
We have to defend our home court! We have to fight! We can’t be looked down upon!!! Come out with fighting spirit!!!
Tell them, where is this? This is the city of torn!!!
Well, the slogans are loud, but in the end it still depends on how well the players play on the field. If they don't play well, everything is in vain. Back then, Rivers went to Los Angeles without luggage to resolve the battle. What happened?
...Shit. So the slogan should be shouted to cheer oneself up before the game, but whether the slogan is shouted loudly or not really has little to do with the team's combat effectiveness.
Your team is strong, so your slogan is powerful, not your slogan is strong, so the team is strong.
The causal relationship needs to be clarified.
At the beginning, the Lakers continued the intensity of the previous game, not testing at all, as if they were going to dig into the opponent's head and press it to the ground from the beginning. The defensive position was to expand and expand sideways, which was to open up the field.
The two-gun backcourt of the Rockets was specially prepared because Larry Brown discovered that both Lillard and McCrum like to walk and break through at the beginning, and then switch to shooting when they can't.
This offensive trend is obvious, so this is done to curb their opening breakthrough.
Of course, it’s okay not to do this. Unless Butler and Rondo break out from the opposite side, it will be difficult to easily defeat them individually.
Larry Brown just wants to be foolproof.
Whether it's Lillard or McCrum, they are both the kind of people who can be super awesome at the same time. Don't be fooled by them in one game. They might be super awesome in one game and then sluggish for several games. This is also the case.
Yes. But defensive arrangement is one thing. How the players execute and how the opponent breaks the situation and how to adjust is another matter. Otherwise, isn't it just a sandbox deduction?
What else is there to play, right?
The real situation on the field is actually changing rapidly and is not easy to grasp accurately. Especially in the playoffs, on-the-spot adjustments and spot-on tactics are much more important than in the regular season.
Even if you catch it accurately, it may change in the next second. This is one of the charms of basketball.
Unpredictability and unknownness.
Of course they want to break the game. The Trail Blazers are in eighth place this year. The team strength is actually average, and the chemical reaction is not very good. Being able to reach the playoffs is entirely due to the two guns. But it is also because they focus too much on the two guns. If this
If neither of them can open up, then the Trail Blazers are basically doomed to kneel down. From the beginning, McCrum and Lillard learned the lesson from the last time and were no longer so obsessed with holding the ball alone, but instead took
This is the pick-and-roll attack mode that the Trail Blazers are best at.
The scoring proportion of this scoring mode is the largest among the entire Trail Blazers' double guns.
In the last game, they were too aggressive and fought alone. Facts have proved that the effect was very poor and ineffective. Therefore, in this game at home, the Trail Blazers' backcourt duo chose to play according to their best scoring style.
attack.
This can be considered an adjustment. But the fact is that it is not easy for things to go according to your own ideas.
The Lakers seemed to have expected that they would make such adjustments, so they had already made arrangements. Also, there are only a few effective changes for the Trail Blazers. You can count them with your fingers, so you can guess them.
Not surprising. They are not a team like the Warriors. Their teamwork is actually not lethal.
Barkley once said well that if the Trail Blazers take away both guns, they will be an NBA dynasty team, that's it.
It sounds silly, but with nbdl added to the prefix, it's not a good thing at all.
Barkley is hurting people. But you can't say it's completely unreasonable.
The current Trail Blazers are in this situation. Without both guns, it can basically be said that they have no offensive ability. Of course, they are still very capable of playing in the NBA. If they are a super strong team, they will be stretched thin in the NBA. Let alone the playoffs.
But if you want to play what you are best at, will the Lakers allow you to do so? Do you really think this is the first game?
The Lakers responded quickly to their pick-and-roll. The main defender rushed forward, and then used wing players to go up... directly to the line to attack!!! It was to checkmate the Trail Blazers' double guns! You guys shot the ball? Then
We can't wait to be better! I really beg you to play the ball quickly! Because the rest of the Trail Blazers... to use Barkley's words, none of them can play.
Speaking of three-pointers, apart from Lillard and McCrum, the most accurate and reliable player on the team is Allen Clark. He averaged 44% of three-pointers per game in the regular season, which is very good.
Accurate. He averaged 10.7 points per game and was an important scorer on the bench. But unfortunately, the Trail Blazers don't dare to play him now. Because Tang's potential inside is too destructive now, in order to maintain the defensive strength of the inside, the Trail Blazers'
Coach Terry Stotts can only try to use players who are fast, tall and have long arms.
Allen Clark obviously does not meet this standard. He is only 198cm tall. Although his wingspan is very good, he is also a bit too small. His tonnage is too poor. If he goes up, then the Trail Blazers lineup is already very short.
, will once again decrease. It’s okay to play against other teams, but I’m afraid it will be difficult to play against the Lakers. Therefore, head coach Stotts did not use him too much in this series.
At the same time, he also has a big problem, that is, once he encounters a truly high-intensity defense, his shooting percentage will drop to the point where you want to cry.
So far, his shooting percentage is very poor. Compared with the regular season, it is completely different.
Therefore, it is actually a wise move by Terry Stotts not to reuse him much.
If he can't use it, then Aminu can be used. Aminu is also the third scoring point in this series. This point is exactly the same as the original time and space. But Aminu is too easy to be restricted. First of all, he is big.
Too light, and secondly, his personal ability is not that outstanding. The only advantage is that he can practice three-pointers, but Randall or the rest of the Lakers rotate quickly, and his three-point shooting opportunities are not good. As for the mid-range...
...With his 20% shooting percentage, who would be afraid?
The Lakers are even willing to let him come in and shoot in the mid-range.
It depends on whether you, Aminu, dare to do it? It depends on whether you, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, dare?
They don't dare, so they will collapse soon. Once the two guns are suppressed, the Trail Blazers will not be far from GG.
The Trail Blazers made a double cut at a 45-degree angle, but were quickly held down by the Lakers. Butler and Rondo were the main defenders, and at the same time compressed the wings and put them in the middle, where Ariza and Randall of the Lakers were present.
This move restricted the Trail Blazers' mid-range cuts and breakthroughs, requiring stars to break the game. However, neither of these two players stood up well tonight.
The head coach of the Trail Blazers wants to arrange a surprise team. He can use Aminu to roam the baseline, steal a few chickens, or cut inside and hit a few goals to help the team share the defensive pressure. But the Lakers are not the same.
Team, if you want to steal the chicken from the bottom line, it's not that easy. Tang Qian gave Aminu's basketball home with just one slap.
At the same time, the offensive end also scored a 2+1 from the middle.
When he charged, he was really irresistible.
Just like a monster, there is no human shield delay, just let him open his mouth to eat people and drink blood.
The Trail Blazers made further adjustments, adopting the method of raising their wings, and at the same time using the high post to cover handoffs or set up secondary passes. This effect only lasted for a while, and the Lakers immediately suppressed them as soon as they changed formations. They even got into trouble because of this.
The double guns in the backcourt attracted more defenders and double-teams on the line. The Lakers sometimes selectively released or semi-released Trail Blazers players.
Just to bully the rest of you, who have weak attack power and poor long-range shooting skills, so that you can get to the basket? Then please do it, we can't ask for it.
If you can't open up space, don't try to give the Lakers No. 29 to play the time difference.
Be honest and play traditional offense and singles.
This might be more effective.
Tang Qian played inside, and Feng Lai got a foul directly, but it was still ineffective. His confrontational nature was not worth mentioning in front of Lakers No. 29. It's good that Tang Qian didn't beat him to scum. Trail Blazers
The team is like this now. These paper spiders, even if they are on the inside, have little effect. Because they are not confrontational enough, Tang Qian can push them away with just one click, and then, in front of them, is the golden avenue, a smooth river.
The Trail Blazers can only use their killer move. The most commonly used pick-and-roll method for their double guns is to break in quickly after the pick-and-roll. They use their own mobility and dexterity to get through at once, penetrate the defensive front, and achieve a breakthrough.
The purpose is to prevent the opponent from double-teaming. This move has been tried and tested in the regular season. The Trail Blazers' double guns are not very tall, and they accelerate with a waist, which is indeed easy to cause what should I say...penetration effect.
But tonight, the Lakers let them see what real defense is and what small tricks are. It was so scary that the Trail Blazers' on-site commentator was also a little stunned because Lillard used the pick-and-roll to pass by.
In an instant... three people from the Lakers suddenly appeared in front of him!!! Yes, it was three people, Rondo + Randle + Ariza!!!
His middle lane and the first route to release the ball are all blocked. He can only dribble while retreating and get behind the top arc again. Only then can he pass the basketball in his hand. What is defense? What is defense?
System? This is the perfect demonstration of the Lakers. They made the Trail Blazers' usual killer move now a paper knife, soft and no threat.
Even if Lillard wanted to block Aminu at that moment, he had no chance. The three people came too fast, and Lillard's own sight and field of vision were completely blocked. Then you can quickly
Seeing that Lillard hadn't passed the ball yet, Ariza and Randall who had just come over quickly dispersed. One returned to his defender, and the other stepped near the free throw line, ready to interfere or restart at any time.
Go up and help defend.
The defensive system, this Lakers team is too strong. Fortunately, this is the era of "civilized basketball". If this was placed before 2005, wouldn't it be unreasonable? Even now, it is difficult to break. Not really.
It's invincible. To put it bluntly, the Blazers' attack power against them is not strong enough, and it's not impressive enough, or in other words, it's not big enough to break through defenses.
In addition, No. 29 of the Lakers is really unstoppable. He actively blocks positions and plays singles. He often makes some air cuts or direct alley-oops without anyone noticing. This is really a person who makes people guard him.
, extremely uncomfortable. I thought, you are a 7-foot tall man, but your agility attribute points are higher than mine? Then we are playing ball.
There are no advantages at all, okay?
The Trail Blazers finally made several tactical shots, but they all ended in vain because of No. 29's huge blocking power under the basket.
This, this is a slap in the face.
There is no way, the Trail Blazers are weak on both offense and defense, while the Lakers are tough on both ends.
This is tantamount to offensive and defensive suppression. The Trail Blazers head coach still wanted to try, so in the end he still took the risk and replaced Allen Crabbe. This is a man who is 198cm tall but has a wingspan of 211cm. Well, again
A paper spider. Maybe for him, he is not too light for his position, but if you want him to help the inside and defend Tang Qian, that is another matter. Harden is very strong, so
A heavy guard with a tonnage of more than 220 pounds, but... you ask him to defend peak O'Neal, no, even peak Howard or the like, you try?
It would be strange not to make him doubt his life. That is to say, in modern times, the inside tonnage is relatively small, so he can take advantage of low defense. Otherwise, in the age of centers and insides, he would be humiliating himself by doing this.
.court death.
But Crabbe, who averaged 44.3 three-pointers per game in the regular season, didn't know what happened in this year's playoffs. He became a dog.
At the beginning, the Lakers sent Ariza to defend him. Ariza discovered that this guy couldn't score points. So he defended further and further, and finally started to help defend everywhere. A shooter
, if three-pointers are considered to be no threat, then his role on the court will be greatly reduced. In the original time and space, his scoring in the playoffs this season has doubled compared to the regular season, and his three-point shooting percentage
Also...shrunk by twice.
It dropped directly from 44% to 23.1%.
With such a shooting percentage, isn't he just the little blacksmith from Portland? Then why do he still defend so seriously?
The result is that after Crabbe came up, instead of being opened up, the Blazers' space became smaller and smaller as they played.
This almost made Terry Stotts, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, jump up and scold him. Of course, he was scolding Crabbe, a hard-hitting mother-in-law.
Since teammates are unable to create space and their ability to attack independently is insufficient, almost all defensive focus begins to focus on the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt. The result is that No. 29 on the opposite side dunks.
Jingle bell, they bang bang bang, the iron jingles.
Although this game was only in the first half, the tone had already been set.
Tang Qian ravaged the inside, sweeping through the wasteland, beating the paper spiders and the space inside, and the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt were exactly the opposite. They were double-teamed and almost suffocated.
It's the Purple and Gold Army, and they're both the Lakers. If they fight like this, it will naturally get worse and worse, and the score difference will get bigger and bigger.
Portland's double guns in the backcourt have become Portland's iron guns in the backcourt, dang dang dang, bang bang bang~
It was another game in which the score difference widened to more than 15 points in the first half. Even ESPN host Rachel Knicks saw this game and saw that the Trail Blazers were half-defeated.
Only God can save them.
It's a pity that there is no God here in Portland.
This series is basically over.
ps: A big chapter of 5k is here. Okay, yesterday Xiao Zi was too sleepy and couldn't do it. Recently, the weather has been getting colder and hotter. I feel older and my body is not as good as before. Let me sigh, what was the wind and rain back then?
Hitting, it’s no big deal. Now even the slightest breeze will give me a headache and brain fever, ugh.
So this year, it looks like it’s really going to be a battle between the Bucks and the Bucks? The Bucks are even better than imagined.
Giannis Antetokounmpo should be this year's mvp, right? It feels like the playoffs are indeed better than Harden leading the team, and the players around him are not as popular as Harden. Is it necessary to restart the era of the single giant? I really want to see this year's total
