Not only the fans were angry, but even Trail Blazers head coach McMillan looked helpless at this time.

Although McMillan knew that Marcus Camby would probably find it difficult to limit the "Sharks" O'Neal in one-on-one defense.

But he never expected that in this group of matches, Marcus Camby was beaten up without any suspense, and he was still the kind of person who had no power to fight back.

Even at this moment, McMillan was deeply suspicious on the court, how much water was for Camby to win the best defensive player in the 2006-07 season.

After Camby's point was beaten up by O'Neal without any suspense, McMillan had to use a double-team tactic for O'Neal.

Because if this continues, let alone whether Marcus Camby's personal mentality will explode on the spot. At least McMillan will definitely die before him.

After the Trail Blazers used double-team tactics against O'Neal on the field, Yang Fan also made adjustments as soon as possible.

He began to use O'Neal as the bait, gradually transferring more offensive firepower to the outside, allowing Curry, Durant, Jamison and others to try to take over the game.

That's it. After the end of the half, the Thunder, who played at home, was already 13 points ahead of the Trail Blazers, ending the first half of the competition between the two sides.

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers were no surprise 13 points behind.

The key is that no one expected that the Trail Blazers' inside line would be beaten to pieces in this game.

Especially Marcus Camby, who was beaten by O'Neal with only one hand, looked like a funny jumping clown.

It can be said that Marcus Camby was beaten by O'Neal in the interior, which was a microcosm of the entire first half.

It is precisely because the two points of O'Neal and Camby cannot reach a balance that the Thunder can always take the initiative on the offensive end.

Regardless of whether McMillan chooses to double-team O'Neal, the Thunder can score through means.

But the difference is whether it is the outside or the inside.

After returning from the second half, McMillan also tried to adjust the formation on the field, allowing the Trail Blazers to temporarily defend the second and third-tier joint defense.

As we all know, the second and third joint defense is a team defensive tactic that focuses on inside offense, but during the regular season, the Blazers basically have no experience in defending the joint defense.

Therefore, this temporary joint defense not only has many loopholes, but also gives Thunder more opportunities to start exerting force on the outside.

After all, the second and third joint defense only stands at the high position, and the other three will fall at the low position, so the defensive ability outside the three-point line is relatively limited.

In addition, the Trail Blazers' joint defense tactics were temporary, which led to the Thunder in the second half not getting into offensive trouble, but instead played more smoothly.

Because O'Neal is the core of the offensive, Yang Fan made changes specifically to the Blazers' defensive flaws, but during the regular season, the Thunder's best playing style was based on shooting.

In the second half, McMillan was afraid of O'Neal's personal ability at the basket, so he took the lead in making changes in his defensive formation.

As a result, the Thunder seized the opportunity and started to exert force frequently outside the three-point line, and finally took the game away with a wave of flow.

Finally, after the entire game ended, the Thunder at home was slightly relaxed:

118:92

The Portland Trail Blazers scored 26 points and rewritten the total score of this series to 1:0.

Throughout the game, the Trail Blazers have worked hard to catch up points, and even Aldridge has defended O'Neal at some stage.

But when the Thunder successfully controlled the offensive rhythm, every counterattack of the Trail Blazers seemed so small.

The most important thing is that the Trail Blazers have no ability to solve the problem of the "Big Shark" O'Neal in the inside.

Whether double-teaming or not, the Thunder always has a way to complete damage on the offensive end. This is what makes the Trail Blazers feel the most difficult.

Similarly, this also indirectly proves the depth of the Thunder's lineup this season, especially when a certain player is targeted, other players are able to shoulder the offensive banner of the entire team.

In this game, the Thunder were able to beat the Trail Blazers at home, and the starting center O'Neal can definitely be regarded as a great contribution.

O'Neal made a total of 31 minutes in the whole game, facing former defensive player Marcus Camby, O'Neal made 11 of 16 shots, including 4 of 11 free throws. While sending Camby six to the court, he also scored 26 points, 9 rebounds and 1 blocked data.

If this data was placed at O'Neal's peak period, it would be completely unremarkable, and it could even be said to be malfunctioning.

But for O'Neal, who is now at the end of his career, this data can be said to be very efficient.

After all, his physical strength is already difficult to support him in maintaining a sharp offensive state throughout the game, and this is why Yang Fan has been load-managing O'Neal in the regular season.

During the entire regular season this season, O'Neal only played 63 games in total, and his personal average playing time was shortened to 21.3 minutes by Yang Fan.

So in this case, O'Neal in the playoffs naturally ushered in his stage.

Even though O'Neal no longer had the dominance he had at his peak, facing Marcus Camby, O'Neal still used his strength to tell the opponent what it means to be the "former No. 1 center in the league".

In sharp contrast to the "Big Shark" O'Neal in this game, he was naturally Marcus Camby, who was like a jumping clown.

In the whole game, Camby made a total of 29 minutes. He made 2 of 7 shots on the offensive end, including 1 of 4 free throws from the free throw line, and finally contributed 5 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 6 fouls.

Although Camby still scored two blocks in this game, and one of them was given to O'Neal, in the microcosm of the entire game, this scene seemed a bit insignificant.

At least at this time, Marcus Camby has become the focus of Portland fans.

Even before the game ended, many fans were already blocking the players' bus door, just to wait for the players to leave the court and curse Marcus Cambi in person.

Because Camby's performance in this game can be called a disaster level, especially his best defense, which was crushed by O'Neal himself.

It can be said that the Trail Blazers came to Marcus Camby for trading because they fell in love with his defensive ability.

And when he became air on the defensive end, then Camby's existence could be said to be meaningless.

After all, his offensive ability really makes fans feel irritated.

The most important thing is that the 38-year-old "Big Shark" O'Neal defeated Marcus Camby in this game.

If the up-and-coming actor in this game is a rising star at the golden age, then fans may not feel so angry.

Because Camby is also 36 years old, this is a true veteran, so fans will not ask for too much.

But the key is that Camby was beaten by O'Neal, who was two years older than him in this game.

This really made Portland fans feel unbearable.

I even began to wonder if Camby was too indulgent in private, which led to her whole body being hollowed out by beauty...
