Chapter 608 [2 big wins, 1 hidden danger]

Chapter 608 [Two big wins, one hidden danger]

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Aaron Brooks, Louis Williams, Posey, Landry, Lamar Odom, double guard and small ball tactics.

James Jones and DJ White were marginal. Dengtai Jones and Mbenga, two players who were good at defending, didn't make the roster. It was obvious at first glance that Yang Rui had no intention of defending.

The Blazers have five substitutes: Rodriguez, Fernandez, Webster, Diogu, Biedrins.

The Blazers' players are more defensive, and neither of the two insiders can open their mid-range shots. This alone makes them difficult to play.The Lakers can use the 122 zone defense to the fullest, relying on the number of people to protect the restricted area, and it doesn't matter if the inside line is short.

Lu Wei's defense against Fernandez has not become an obvious loophole. He can prevent breakthroughs, but the height of 185CM is not good to interfere with shooting.Fernandez is one of the thinnest players in the NBA and can't use his body to force down opposing guards.

On the defensive end, Fernandez had a hard time defending against small guards, and Lou Wei was more flexible than him, and it was very difficult to guard against changing directions while running on the counterattack.

The positional battle between Lamar Odom and Lou Wei in the middle of the pick-and-roll was more of a headache than Derins, and it was impossible not to switch defenses. Lou Wei would not only break through, but also make a one-step pull-up jumper.

After defending Lu Wei, Landry on the side gave Xiaobu no-ball cover, which could also create opportunities.Xiaobu's speed is faster than Lou Wei, and he has a very good sense of rhythm when he plays without the ball.After attracting big men to switch defenses, he can break through with the ball again, leaving the Blazers players helpless.

The two guards can dribble successfully every possession, or throw or pass, quickly widening the point difference to 20 points.Dual guards are a double-edged sword, and the Blazers' bench doesn't have enough one-on-one ability to catch their weaknesses.

Fernandez's debut was unsuccessful, disappointing Blazers fans.

In the recent Olympic finals, he was the best performer in the Spanish team. He was the best performer in the Spanish team.Mengba's back line is full of top defenders, and he can also score 22 points.A lot of people think he's in the NBA, at least at Ginobili's level.

Yang Rui felt a little sorry for Fernandez, because he joined the wrong team and did not play to his full strength. The Blazers coach McMillan would not use him.

It is not acceptable to let European players play singles. The way for strong teams in the Europa League is to let players find opportunities in constant running and passing.Fernandez in Spain likes to keep passing, keep running, never holding the ball for too long, just like Hamilton.

Once he stopped running and attacked with the ball, his shooting percentage dropped, but McMillan wanted him to play like Roy, with a pick-and-roll from the bench in the second quarter.

It's really unfortunate for players to encounter this kind of coach. McMillan, no matter what the player is suitable for, let people do what they want.In Yang Rui's previous life, he let Roy play with injuries several times. It seems that only in this way can he interpret the value of a leader. However, Roy was scrapped, and his best record was only in the first round of the playoffs.

After 6 minutes, Xiaobu was replaced by Kobe before he could play. The Lakers' tactics immediately turned into a one-man single, with four people watching the excitement, and the offensive rhythm dropped.

At halftime, the Lakers led 60-38.

In the second half, the Blazers played high pick-and-rolls, but still couldn't break the zone defense. Iguodala was very successful in defending Aldridge close-up and couldn't block shots, but he kept interfering in front of him, making it difficult for him to turn around, and adding small movements to disrupt his shooting. Rhythm.

The Lakers' offense is still Kobe's one-man show, mainly singles.The Blazers used Roy to defend alone, but Kobe didn't pass the ball. He wanted to use action to teach young players how to behave, but his hit rate was not high, and the two seemed to be fighting against each other.

The Lakers led by 18 points and entered the final quarter. Yang Ruipai played a 30-minute "drug combination" to rest. The substitutes quickly widened the point difference to 28 points and entered garbage time.

Yang Rui sent a fast double back again, with James Jones, Landry and White in the frontcourt.Both insiders can make mid-range shots and outsiders can make three-pointers, which makes the Blazers big man sour.

Regardless of Noah, Biedrins, and Diogu, they all lack shooting ability, which is the Achilles heel of the Blazers. Once Aldridge is off the court, they will be even less able to break the zone defense.

With a height of 213cm and a weight of 109kg, Biedrins has strength, is dexterous and quick, and has outstanding jumping ability.His right turn is very oppressive, and because he is used to using his left hand, it is extremely threatening.

White couldn't block Biedrins' shot, but it didn't become a defensive weakness because he would foul.

Biedrins made 4 of 0 free throws. His free throw ability was at the level of Ben Wallace, and his shooting percentage was less than [-]% in many seasons.

McMillan saw that the situation was over, and replaced all the main players after 5 minutes.

Leading by a big score, Kobe frowned on the sidelines. The photographer gave him a close-up, and the audience in front of the TV were puzzled.Kobe was depressed that he played too little time. If the Lakers always win easily, it is impossible for him to become the scoring champion if he only plays about 30 minutes.

In the second half, Jones played his only specialty, and made two three-pointers after receiving the ball from the back.

White also performed well. Yang Rui let him develop in the direction of Boozer. He was responsible for pick-and-roll in the middle, catch and shoot. White did not let him down and scored three mid-range shots.

In the end, 121 to 86, the Lakers made a good start with a big victory, with 6 players in the team scoring in double figures.

After the game, Blazers coach McMillan sighed: "It's very frustrating that we met the Lakers in the first game. They are too strong. Our players are all young and inexperienced. When they adapted to the rhythm of the game, they were already behind by a big score."

Roy, who shot 33.3% from the field and scored only 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, said: "The Lakers are very strong on offense and defense. When Yao Ming is standing near the penalty area, it is almost impossible for us to hit the basket. Even if Yao Ming gets off the court, other The inside is also good at preventing breakthroughs and protecting rebounds, I don't know what the Lakers have weaknesses, and they are likely to win the championship again this season."

Fernandez scored a lot of points in garbage time. Facing the short guard, he made a direct pull-up, made 5 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

The reporter asked him how he felt about his first NBA game, in a somewhat ironic tone, because Fernandez was a little crazy when he joined, thinking that he would become a star in the NBA, and he regarded himself as a big name before he played.

After being taught by the Lakers today, he sighed: "The Lakers are terrible. It reminds me of the feeling of facing the Dream Team in the Olympic finals. Really, the Lakers are so strong."

Fernandez didn't know that the Lakers could be stronger, as long as Yao Ming played more inside.Yao Ming only made 10 shots in this game, hitting 7 goals, 1 of 0 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists.

The next day, the media reported the morning news about the Lakers. In the evening, they fought back-to-back against the Clippers, slaughtering their opponents 127-79, and 8 players on the team scored in double figures.

Kwame Brown was poached by the Bobcats, and the Clippers' defense became weaker; Maggette was poached by the Warriors, and the offense became weaker; because the team did not have "captain" Elton Brand, Byron David Sri Lanka was not fooled to the Clippers after the contract expired.

Therefore, the Clippers are weaker than Yang Rui's previous life. The core is Mobley and Kaman, and the starting small forward is Ricky Davis. This is simply impossible to play.The Clippers have fallen to the point where they are today because of the meaning of the owner, Sterling. He feels that there is no star to praise in the team.

Eric Gordon is a high-draft rookie, and his career debut was terrible, 4-for-0 from the field, 2-for-1 from the free throw line, and only had 1 point and 2 assists.

After the big victory, the Lakers had a tough time. They seemed to have a strong start, but a hidden danger was about to break out.
