634: Can't Defend the Cannons? Tough Guys Get to Know the Third Company (5.4K)(2/3)
The next day, in the Rose Garden, there was no one left in the stands.
After the live broadcast started, the live camera first showed Tony sitting on the sidelines wearing a suit and ties.
Below, the Trail Blazers' injury list is printed.
One will take 4-6 weeks to recover, and the other will be immediately written off for the season.
For any team, if two starting wings are scrapped at once, they are basically finished.
This set of shots is undoubtedly a reminder to everyone that the Blazers, who started 26 consecutive games before, are now extremely weak.
Just beating the Raptors in the last game doesn't mean much. Only by playing against the Warriors today can we find out how much the Blazers weigh.
Thompson was very active when warming up on the court today.
In the past, he would just shoot random shots as a warm-up.
But today, after Tom received a pass from the trainer, he would always change his hands a few times before shooting.
However, fans still don't think Thompson is a threat, because he has already dropped the ball three times during the warm-up...
As soon as Paoer and Jordan appeared today, they received cheers from all the fans.
After seeing Brother Wei, Pao'er also rushed over excitedly, spreading his arms, as if he was shouting while running: "My son is back to see you!"
Wayne also opened his arms to show his fatherly love.
"Good guy, look at how fast this kid is growing up. He's already up to your father's waist." Wayne sighed while touching the cannon head with sparse hair on top.
Pao'er:......
"Brother Wei, I'm not telling you, you really don't regard me as your biological son."
"No way. Although my second son is very good, very accurate, very obedient, very cute, very...but you are still the treasure in my hand~"
Pao'er:......
Seeing Wei Ge's eyes full of Curry, Pao'er felt like he had received a 10,000-point critical hit.
Men are all big pig hooves!
"Teacher Tony is not here today, hehe. Brother Wei, let's make an agreement first. If I accidentally win, I won't do anything."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are talking arrogantly. If you can win today, I will call you Brother Pao."
"Hahahaha, then it's settled."
Pao'er bounced back, feeling so happy.
Last season's Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers had a neat lineup and the Warriors were able to win both games.
In today's situation, isn't victory within reach?
Just look at Klay Thompson and Curry. Do they look like they can guard me?
Maybe I can score 58 points in a single game today!
This game of the Warriors has attracted much attention, because in the eyes of half of American fans, the Warriors are the beginning of tearing away the fig leaf of the Trail Blazers.
Even the joke felt like it was an eye-opener for God.
Regarding the Trail Blazers' unstoppable winning streak, the joke is that they can't stop it.
As a result, the Blazers injured two starters in one week. What do you think this is?
Although athletes getting injured is not something to be happy about, but... the joke is really fun!
It's not my fault, Wayne, you just call this fate inevitable!
Dominoes are falling down one by one. Today's game is the first card that crushes the Trail Blazers!
The game is about to start, and the players from both sides are already in their positions.
Wayne took a look at the Warriors' starters, Paul, Redick, Iguodala, David West and former teammate DeAndre Jordan.
On the bench, there are also powerful players such as Jared Jack, Dream Green, Landry, Cup Cat and other players.
The bench is also very strong, which is very different from the top-heavy Warriors team before.
Compared with last season, it is a completely different team.
Indeed, after leaving Howard, the Warriors' lineup is more even and reasonable.
After the referee threw the ball into the air, Jordan lost the ball with a slightly faster speed than Wayne.
On the Blazers' first attack, the ball found Wayne.
As a star player, if the team falls into a quagmire of injuries, you must get rid of the habit of dying at every turn.
Facing David West, whose defensive ability was relatively mediocre, Wayne originally wanted to break through to the mid-range and make an emergency stop.
But as soon as Wayne broke through the penalty area, he was double-teamed by Iguodala!
If you want to say where the Warriors have strengthened the most this season, it is undoubtedly Iguodala.
Now, the arrival of Iguodala has given the Warriors a wing gate that can assist with single defense and double defense.
Although Howard, a historical defensive monster, is gone inside, Jordan is not the team's shortcoming on the defensive end.
It’s the same word again, balance.
The Warriors' defense has also become more balanced, taking away a historical giant and acquiring two top defensive players.
Seeing this situation, Wayne quickly passed the ball to Green who was left open.
But Redick had already made up for it, and Iguodala immediately ran to Thompson, who was closer to him.
The defense switch was completed in an instant, and the Warriors' defense had no loopholes.
The Warriors' defensive strategy has been imprinted with Cole's imprint, and it has a little meaning of unlimited defense changes.
In desperation, Wayne could only run to the low post, lean on West with his back and continue to demand, and finally ended the offense with a back-turn jumper.
Although the ball was scored, Wayne was still amazed by the quality displayed by the Warriors.
Soon, Pao'er responded.
Today, Carlisle arranged for Green to guard Paul, Klay to guard the first brother, and Curry to guard Redick, who has the least threat with the ball.
However, Paoer will not be stupid and argue with Green. As a new era point guard with pursuits and ideals... If you want to fight, fight Thompson!
For the napkin, pick the soft one!
Brother No. 1 came out to cover Paoer, and Thompson had to switch defense.
With the speed of a cannon that has not been returned to the factory for repairs, if he does not change his defense, he will be able to break through directly.
Just like that, Thompson switched to Paul, and the first brother hurriedly took Green away, leaving only Thompson and Paul, as if to say: "Brother Pao'er, I sent you the man, you take your time and play, have fun,
Any posture is fine~"
Iguodala has been a professional PI player for 30 years.
Thompson was forced to open business, but he did not give up resistance directly.
I saw that Atang lowered his focus and was very serious.
Paul dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right hands. After approaching Thompson, he suddenly changed direction in a large arc in front of his body. It was just a simple change of direction, and Paoer jumped past Thompson!
That's right, one step, one step at a time, and there was nothing the second-year Thompson could do about it.
How good is Thompson's defense?
In Wayne's view, Thompson at his peak was an above-average, reassuring defender at the second position, but nothing more.
He is not the so-called top defender, nor is he a player like Tony and Kobe who are always selected for the first defense.
In Wayne's previous life, Tom was only a second-team defensive player in his career.
His defense, simply put, means he doesn't make mistakes, but it's not to the point where it can change the situation of the game.
It's just that because of his positive attitude and defensive style that he never loses his position, his reputation among fans is extremely high, which exceeds his ability.
If you just browse the forum without watching a game, you will definitely think that Thompson is a super defensive expert.
Thompson's defense is not as good as he has been praised for, not to mention Tom is not yet at his peak.
Thompson's defense does not rely on talent, but on acquired learning, so there is a step-by-step process.
At this time, Thompson's defense is basically zero compared to last season. Naturally, he has made great progress, but it is not enough.
Therefore, it is normal for him to be passed by the top point guard in the league.
After Pao'er penetrated the penalty area, Wayne immediately maneuvered to prepare for defense.
But because Thompson was not aggressive enough, Pao'er broke through too easily and was not hindered by any confrontation, so his speed was unbelievably fast.
Before Wayne could get his defense in place, Pao'er had already charged in.
In the end, because the distance was too far, even Wayne couldn't block Paul's throw.
The basketball hit the net and the score was tied.
Without Tony, the defensive end is really struggling a lot.
To be continued...
