Maybe it's because the previous games were won relatively smoothly, so the Trail Blazers players are feeling a little heavy now.

Although the last game against the Clippers was difficult, that was more due to the Blazers' poor performance than the Clippers themselves.

But today, everyone on the Trail Blazers obviously felt the strong pressure from the Lakers.

This Lakers lineup doesn't make sense.

Mourning sat in his seat, Jordan shed tears.jpg.

Self-investing and self-grabbing also require deductions.

How could you do this to Yao Ming?

My sister-in-law is also a bit autistic, and she really couldn't perform well on the offensive end today. She took turns fighting with Yao Ming and Bynum, and no one could stand up to her.

Although Bynum is still young, the young man is in really good shape.

After rubbing it with him for a few times, it became weak.

Where can Pao'er go?

He was still smiling in the first quarter, but he didn't laugh for long before he was locked in by Kobe in the second quarter.

Under Kobe's defense, Paul couldn't even dribble the ball well several times.

Nacha's defense is not only a good attitude, good body, but also a clear mind.

Strategically, we are very careful with our guns.

He usually stood beside Paul with striding steps, arms spread wide, and feet constantly moving, constantly harassing Paul.

On several occasions, Kobe even used forward and semi-forward defenses, making it difficult for Paul to catch the ball.

Of course, how can we do without Nakai’s unique elbow attack?

I'll hit you when I'm going for a layup, I'll hit you when I'm making a breakthrough, I'll hit you all the time, and I'll make you upset and confused.

Kobe was like an octopus today, entangled so hard that he kept moaning.

Sure enough, Paul and Octopus are very destined.

Of course, McMillan also discovered the team's current problems, but in addition, there is another hidden problem - second-generation star Luke Walton scored 12 points in the half today, scoring more than Odom

.

Uduka, whose presence has never been very high, has absolutely no choice against Wharton today.

In fact, Uduka played quite well in the first four games, scoring 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting in the opening game.

He scored 8 points on 3 of 5 shots against the Warriors, scored 6 points, 2 shots and 1 steal against the Timberwolves. He also scored 11 points and 5 rebounds against the Clippers in the last game.

Considering his role, he performed pretty well.

The offense can seize open opportunities, and the defense does not stretch the hips.

But today, his height disadvantage on the forward line was magnified by Walton.

Walton plays very smart and can always seize opportunities to cut to the basket.

As soon as Yao Ming's response arrived, Walton could easily lay up. Uduka, who was less than 2 meters tall, had no way to do this move.

In short, it is definitely impossible to attack and defend at once.

If you want to turn defeat into victory in today's game, there is only one word - try your best to defend firmly.

"In the second half, we focused more on the defensive end. And Wayne, I need you to actively score. Your main task in the second half is to score!"

McMillan stood up, it was time to change his strategy.

After the second half of the game started, Zen Master slowly walked into the stadium and sat on the bench, just to make a cup of wolfberry tea.

In his current state, he is just like Coach Anzai, who is always calm when it comes to slam dunks.

Don't tell me that the two people's looks are really similar.

But when the Rose Knights of the Trail Blazers came on the field, Zen Master frowned.

James Posey starts the second half? What is going on?

"Oh? The Trail Blazers changed their starting lineup in the second half. They put James Posey, the hero of the Heat's championship last season, on the court, replacing Uduka."

"With this substitution, the Trail Blazers must strengthen their defense. In the first half, Uduka allowed Walton to make many easy layups. Now we play Posey just to contain him."

Su Junyang's analysis is basically correct. McMillan plays Posey just for defense.

His strategy in the second half was to try to contain the Lakers on the defensive end and then create singles opportunities for Wayne on the offensive end.

Everyone, including Paul and Gasol, just need to focus on defense in the second half!

As much as Kobe Bryant defended Paul, he had to pay a lot of physical toll.

Do you think you're not tired after going around and following up again?

McMillan didn't believe he could be so focused for 48 minutes.

A basketball game is like a marathon. It doesn't matter who is leading temporarily, but who can persist until the end is important.

As for Wayne, he doesn't face much pressure on Odom on the defensive end. As long as Wayne can maintain efficiency on the offensive end, the Blazers still have a chance.

McMillan clenched his fists. This game depends on Wayne's performance.

Whether it is a sad milestone or a milestone, it all depends on him.

After the game restarted, the Trail Blazers turned to Wayne as expected.

Everyone on the Trail Blazers helped Wayne pull away, and Odom suddenly felt a little nervous.

Wayne scored 20 points at halftime and was chased down. Odangdang was already dealt with badly enough in the first half.

Please let me go!

However, Wayne clearly couldn't hear Odom's wails.

He just made a few triple threat moves and put Odom in a dilemma.

Whether it is to prevent shots or to prevent breakthroughs, Odom is not sure.

When Odom thought Wayne was about to break out and took a small step back, Wayne suddenly shot.

In fact, Wayne didn't decide whether to rush or shoot, it all depended on Odom's reaction.

This is called prescribing the right medicine.

After a gorgeous triple-threat jump shot, Wayne's smell became stronger and stronger.

After a season and a half, Wayne has mastered this purple "offensive kaleidoscope" to perfection.

Odang was quite annoyed. When he played for the SuperSonics before, he allowed Lewis to score a season-high 34 points.

It's just that the Lakers' offense was more fierce, allowing Lewis's 34 points to be missed, and he was not called for a meeting.

But today, the Trail Blazers may not be defeated as easily as the Sonics.

Wayne's goal is very critical, because if this attack fails, the Lakers only need to score one more goal to open the point difference to double digits.

And with Wayne's goal, at least psychologically, the players will not feel that "we are falling behind too much."

The Lakers attacked, and this time Yao Ming found that Gasol was also aggressive.

He spared no effort to compete with Yao Ming for position, and the hand-to-hand fight was very fierce.

"Does this mean he doesn't want to attack?" Of course Yao Ming also knows the cost of defending like this. The second half has just begun and he is defending like this. How can Gasol physically handle it?

If my sister-in-law knew what Yao Ming was thinking, he would definitely nod: "Yes, I just don't want to attack!"

With all the Blazers playing tough defense, the Lakers failed to play a decent triangle tactic.

In the end, Kobe wanted to challenge Parker.

But at the moment he shot, Wayne arrived from the other side, and he and Parker teamed up to interfere with Kobe's jump shot.

When basketball was playing ball, Kobe was very reluctant and waved his hands away: "What a fat four, the two of them double-teamed and didn't even get into the big open space!"

While people were still sighing at how good Wayne's help defense was, Wayne had already bolted towards the frontcourt and went straight to the fast break.

After my sister-in-law got the rebound, she didn't even look for a shot. She just made a long pass from the backcourt and launched a counterattack!

The basketball is passed quickly and accurately, and my sister-in-law's assist is so timely.

Wayne scored with a one-handed dunk without being marked, further narrowing the point difference!

"Beautiful counterattack, the score difference is only 4 points! The Trail Blazers changed their strategy, everyone is fully defensive, only Wayne is fully offensive! From now on, this strategy is effective!"

Su Junyang agrees very much with McMillan's approach, because with the Lakers' defensive ability, it is difficult for others to open up the situation on the offensive end.

Just look at how much Shuangpaoer struggled in the first half.

Rather than letting them waste energy on the offensive end, they should focus all their energy on defense.

The only question with this strategy is - how many points can Wayne score?

Give him a beating and see if he can do it.

The time has come to test his quality.
