Chapter 143 Inexperienced
Both Xu Tian and George are all-around players, so they don't need to communicate more, just tidy up their jerseys and step into the court.
Brandon Roy has always cared about the Blazers. During the timeout, he kept giving advice to the Blazers, asking them to work hard to maintain the point difference and take the initiative to beat Xu Tian.He thinks that even if Xu Tian can no longer be caused to foul, it will also make him unable to maintain sufficient physical strength.
Terry Stotts' arrangement and Roy's suggestion have the same purpose, allowing McCollum to hold the ball on the offensive end, increasing the proportion of Lillard's off-the-ball, involving Xu Tian to run more, and invisibly consuming his energy. physical strength.
McCollum followed the coach's arrangement, received the serve in the backcourt and crossed half court, and dribbled the ball at the top of the arc to organize the attack.
Lillard originally wanted to consume Xu Tian by running without the ball, but when he saw that the defender in front of him was George, he simply gave up such an idea.
George is a physical monster, better suited to defending Lillard than Xu Tian, and kept up with him effortlessly.
McCollum's organizational skills are not strong. Seeing Xu Tian defending Henderson, he can only start singles.
Clarkson could keep up with the breakthrough McCollum, but he lacked defensive skills and experience, so he was easily shaken and became the target of McCollum's foul.
McCollum is not Harden, but he will not let go of the opportunity to make a foul. He actively leans forward and makes a successful defensive foul by Clarkson.
Terry Stotts stood on the sidelines, suddenly enlightened.Among the starting players of the Lakers, Xu Tian and Nance Jr. are both rookies, while Clarkson is a sophomore, all inexperienced players. Since Xu Tian cannot be targeted, why not target these two players?
Stotts thought of this, walked near the center line and beckoned Lillard to his side, and told the team's head guard Lillard this idea.
This is exactly what Lillard and McCollum said. Unexpectedly, the coach had the same idea, which strengthened his confidence in this style of play.
McCollum made one of two free throws, the Blazers 46-33 the Lakers!
George looked at the score and found that the difference between the two sides did not narrow at all despite the fancy operations.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball most steadily, dribbling the ball across half court to organize the offense.
George's left midfielder confronted Henderson toughly, looking for a good offensive position.
Xu Tian hit the earth and passed it over, allowing George to attack.
George is taller and stronger than Henderson. He used his physical fitness to directly wipe out his defense, and went inside to try to force a layup.
Mason Plumlee's movement speed is pretty good, he came to the defensive position early, jumped high and prepared to block the shot.
George has been asking Xu Tian and Magic Johnson how to organize the offense recently. When he took off in mid-air, he suddenly thought of it and passed it to Hibbert who was open at the basket.
Hibbert didn't expect George to pass the ball to him, and caught off guard and missed the ball, causing the ball to roll out of the baseline.
Xu Tian retreated quickly to prevent the Blazers from playing a fast break counterattack.
Lillard made a three-point gesture with his left hand when dribbling, and conveyed the offensive tactics to be played to his backcourt partner McCollum.
McCollum understood it, moved to the left wing to catch the ball outside the three-point line, and used his skillful skills to single out Clarkson who was in charge of defense.
Clarkson didn't realize that the Blazers had deployed tactics against him and Nance Jr., and defended conscientiously, for fear that McCollum would easily break through.
McCollum deliberately exposed the ball when dribbling, giving Clarkson the illusion of a steal, and used the laid trap to cause him to foul again.Although there were no free throws, the effect McCollum wanted was achieved.
Clarkson thought he had not fouled, and redo the defensive action just now to signal the referee.
Naturally, the referee will not change the penalty, maintain the original penalty, and give Clarkson a third defensive foul.
Kobe has played 19 seasons in the NBA, and he is well aware of the cautiousness of the Trail Blazers. He decisively replaced Clarkson with Nick Young to increase the experience of the players on the court.
Nick Young and Clarkson, who walked off the court with an innocent face, high-fived and stepped onto the court to play the game.
The number of fouls by the Lakers has not yet reached, and Henderson will serve and continue to play the half-court offense in the frontcourt.
McCollum faced Nick Young, and immediately fell into a disadvantage in terms of experience. He was completely unable to break through him, who was not very good at defending, and could only shoot at the buzzer when 24 seconds approached.
Xu Tian happened to be brought near the penalty area by Henderson. Watching the rotation of the basketball and the position on the rim, he predicted the direction of the basketball in advance, and quickly jumped to get the rebound.
Seeing Xu Tian grab the rebound, George quickly turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.He knew that as long as there was an opportunity, Xu Tian's pass would definitely arrive.
The basketball spins freely in the air and falls accurately in front of George running, allowing him to comfortably receive the ball.
The frontcourt was empty, and George took off.
boom!
35-46!
The slight shaking of the basket showed how powerful the dunk was.
Most Staples Center fans stood up to celebrate, knocking over as many Cokes as they could.But at this time they were happy in their hearts, and they didn't care about such trivial things at all.
Terry Stotts stood on the sidelines, and McCollum, who was dribbling, made an offensive tactical gesture to let him slow down the attack.
Xu Tian figured out the Blazers' tricks, waited for McCollum at the top of the arc, and made a single defense against the shooting guard holding the ball.
When McCollum saw Xu Tian, his eyes lit up, and he called Noah Von Lay to pick and roll at the top of the arc.
Noah Feng Lai is a blue-collar insider with excellent rebounding ability. The quality of the screen is really not high. He didn't block Xu Tian at all and was easily bypassed by him.
McCollum dribbled the ball and changed direction. Taking advantage of Xu Tian's center of gravity to the left, he once again used Noah Von Lai's cover to find a good offensive space.
Nance Jr. has been receiving defensive training from Xu Tian's quick defense changes recently, and appeared in front of McCollum in time, blocking his breakthrough route.
McCollum originally wanted to target Nance Jr., how could he easily let go of this opportunity, dribbled to Nance Jr., and forced a shot in a physical confrontation.
Nance Jr. is not a star player and cannot get special treatment from the referee. He can only raise his right hand and get a foul.
The fans at the Staples Center saw the tricks on the court, but they had no choice but to boo the referee casually.
The referee's face was thicker than the city wall, easily ignored the boos, and executed McCollum's two free throws.
After all, Scott is still the team's head coach. Standing on the sidelines, he called Nance Jr. to his side and told him to control his movements and try not to foul when defending.
McCollum made two free throws and returned the point difference.
48-35!
Xu Tian dribbled the ball slowly across half court, and played a pick-and-roll with George at the top of the arc. Using their personal abilities and tactical coordination, they forcibly tore apart the Blazers' defense.
The Trail Blazers' outside players were at a disadvantage in height and weight. Facing Xu Tian and George's pick-and-roll, they had no choice but to let Xu Tian break through into the inside.
Hibbert pointed to the sky with his right hand, and asked Xu Tian for an empty pick-up.
