Although he was surprised that even the joint defense could not stop Lin Xing, P.J. Karesimo was not very anxious.

The Trail Blazers' established strategy is to let Lin Xing score and guard against his teammates.

Therefore, Lin Xing scored consecutively, and Karesimo was not in a hurry at all.

His mind was full of: "I don't believe he can beat us alone..."

In the three offensive rounds of the opening game, Lin Xing also confirmed the intention of the Trail Blazers.

Like Karesimo, he was not in a hurry.

It’s not that Lin Xing has confidence and fights the pioneers alone. In fact, he really doesn’t have this confidence.

Because this is a playoffs, it is not a game that can be finished just one game.

If he's done with one fight, he's very confident.

But in the first round of the playoffs, at least three wins will be required to advance to the next round.

Lin Xing can break out of one game, two games, but he really can't break out of three games.

He is a man, not a god.

The reason why Lin Xing was not in a hurry was because there was a man named Xiao Chong sitting on the bench of this game.

He can make a move first, and if he can't do it, he can change to the little insect.

Take turns to appear and have sex with the Trail Blazers.

There is no problem with wheel battles or something.

Karesimo didn't expect the problem of wheel battle, mainly because he didn't take the little bugs on the activation list to heart.

He thought, even if the Warriors have the idea of ​​a wheel battle, someone would have to use it?

Without Lin Xing, this Warriors can still stand up to play singles and take over the game, only one madman is left.

The level of Madman taking over the game is similar to that of Clifford Robinson and Rod Strickland of the Trail Blazers.

If it really doesn't work, just stagger the appearance time of Robinson and Strickland and just get rid of the Madman.

In short, Karesimo was fully prepared.

only……

After one quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers, who played away, struggled to keep the score difference within 5 points with a score of 22-26.

In this quarter, Lin Xing scored 17 points alone, with only 1 assist.

It can be seen that the Trail Blazers' strategy was very successful.

Although they were very successful, they still lag behind by 4 points.

At this time, Karesimo severely found out what their problem was in this section.

"We have tried our best to defend, but we still have a lot of room for improvement in our offense..."

Translate this sentence from Karesimo -

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers' defense successfully restricted the Warriors.

But on the other hand, Clifford Robinson was completely locked by Lin Xing in the attack.

Rod Strickland broke through the Madman's single defense, but...

With Rodman's assisted defense and supplementary defense, Strickland's offense was ultimately limited.

The Trail Blazers were restricted in offense and scored 22 points in one quarter.

It's understandable that he was 4 points behind in the end of this quarter.

"The second quarter will be an excellent opportunity for us to equalize the score or even overtake, because Stalin is going to rest..."

...

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Xing did rest, but Old Nelson waved his hand and replaced it with a little bug.

"Tim, it's time for you to come on the stage. During this period when Stay was away, it's okay to support the team's offense, right?"

The little cuckold was still a little nervous, but more so, he was eager to try and gained the upper hand.

Hearing old Nelson call his name, he immediately got up and gave Ok a gesture.

"Don't worry, Donnie, I've proven that I can do this in the training session..."

Turning around, the little insect walked to the technical stage step by step.

First of all, there was the Auckland Stadium. When I saw Xiaozhu get up and appear in front of the technical stage, the fans on the sidelines burst into warm cheers and applause.

"Woo! Tim is back?"

“Welcome back to the basketball court, Tim!”

“…”

Then there was a surprise commentary seat, with both Mavu Albert and Matt Gudica opening their mouths:

"Tim Hardaway appeared in front of the technical stand, he is..."

"Is he going to make a comeback?"

"No, there was no news before this game?"

"No, there is still news. He appeared on the Warriors' activation roster before the game."

"The activation list doesn't prove anything. Tim Hardaway often appears in the Warriors' activation list in the regular season."

"So, Old Nelson had prepared this hand smoke bomb early in the morning?"

“…”

The groom Albert and Matt Gudica, looking at each other, were finally confirmed, and they were deceived by the smoke bombs of Old Neil.

They didn't know until Xiaozhu was about to appear-

It turned out that Xiaozhu has recovered from injury and can play games.

What was even more surprising was P.J. Karesimo on the other side...

He was not only surprised, he even felt a little anxious.

Standing on the sidelines, cursing Old Nelson fiercely: "This old guy Don Nelson is really insidious. Who would have thought that he has this trick?"

Even though Karesimo was just an unknown NBA coach, he could smell a little bad smell when he saw Xiao Zhu appear.

"This is the core of the Warriors before Stalin came..."

"What are you afraid of? He is already a person after the cruciate ligament torn. How many successes can he have at his peak?"

Karesimo was in conflict with each other, and the game of the next quarter started...

Soon, Xiao Zhun broke through the basket with two lightning-fast waves.

He scored two consecutive layups and scored 4 points in a row, telling Callesimo.

To say that he has the ability to be at the peak of 100%, that may be a boast.

But 80% or 90% of them are definitely there.

"broken!"

Karesimo clapped his hands and it was indeed broken.

Eighty or ninety percent of the peak insects are enough to severely damage the Trail Blazers' defense.

At least, the existence of the little insect gave Lin Xing plenty of rest time.

Even if Lin Xing was just given time to rest, it would not be the end of the world.

What makes people even more desperate is that Lin Xing appears later and partner with Xiao Chong to regain the tacit understanding of the snake and insect combination last season.

That is the real end of the world for the Trail Blazers and Karesimo.

On the court, facing the impact of the insects, the Trail Blazers are not without any ability to fight back.

Compared to the Warriors' unplanned surprise, the Trail Blazers also have new players.

As soon as the second quarter came, it was not Rod Strickland who fought against the bugs, but Aaron McGee who came on the bench!

That's right, it was Iverson's team later, Super Sixer Aaron McGee.

At this time, he was just a rookie, averaging 6.5 points per game in the rookie season, 2.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

This shows that he is no longer a simple rookie in the rookie season.

As for this game, he came on as a substitute and withstood the pressure from Xiao Chong.

The game is still very anxious.

Because the little insect was present, Old Nelson did not rush to change Lin Xing.

And for the time being, he is not going to let Lin Xing partner Xiao Chong.

It’s not a matter of running-in, but Old Nelson really thinks that Lin Xing, who has completely controlled the ball, is the strongest Lin Xing.
