Chapter 1030 1030. Tears of the Times?(1/2)
The Trail Blazers caught the Lakers off guard on both offense and defense at the start.
As the game unfolded, the Trail Blazers quickly gained the upper hand with their new tactical system.
After the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 4 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal.
Ray Allen scored 6 points on 2 of 3 shots, Hill had 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Randolph had 6 points, Kwame Brown had 5 points, Gasol came off the bench with 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists...
The Trail Blazers only played 6 players in the first quarter and scored 34 points in a single quarter!
As for the Lakers, their offense was blocked first, and then their defense failed. Although Kobe tried his best to lead the team with singles, they were still beaten from beginning to end by the Trail Blazers.
Although Kobe Bryant scored 9 points on 3 of 7 shooting, the Lakers only scored 18 points.
The Trail Blazers took a 16-point lead in the first quarter!
Entering the inter-quarter break, Kobe took advantage of the key point that the opponent only sent 6 players in the first quarter.
Tonight is the first time that the opponent's new system will be 'actually used', so it means that these 6 people are the 6 people with the highest tacit understanding under the opponent's new system.
This may be an opportunity, but the situation is enough to give him a headache.
The five starters on the opposite side are all suitable for the new tactics!
It was the substitute center that surprised Kobe.
For such a fat man, the Trail Blazers' positional attack became smoother after he came on the court.
That support made him think that his Dazhi had defected to the other side.
No, his Dazhi is still more powerful.
Although the Spanish fat guy on the opposite side protects the frame better and blocks people more steadily, Da Zhi shoots better, has a wider shooting range, and can score by cutting in.
Anyway, our own ones are good...but if we want to exchange them...
Kobe remembered that in the scouting report, the Spanish center was only 23 years old... No, it still didn't work. Now he needs stronger teammates.
After the intersection break, the Lakers changed their style of play-the triangle offense started!
Kobe, David West, and Deron started to focus on their personal offense.
In the second quarter, Kobe made 7 of 12 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 0 of 1 free throws, and 1 of 2 layups... Relying on 6 of 10 mid-range shots, he scored 14 points in a single quarter!
Coupled with Deron's 5 points, West's 7 points, and the 5 points from the scoring players, the Lakers scored 31 points in the second quarter!
The three major stars used their powerful personal abilities to strengthen the Lakers' offense.
On the other side, Liu Xiu scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, leading the Trail Blazers to 32 points!
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 17 points, 66-49!
Although they still lost by 1 point, in this quarter, Kobe, Deron, and David West created time for Zen Master to think.
In the second quarter, Jackson actually had no good solution. Kobe took the initiative to adjust to the triangle offense.
This is the tacit understanding that the two have worked together for many years.
In the third quarter, Jackson made adjustments on both offense and defense.
On the offensive end, the offense centered around the outside triangle of Odom, Deron, and Kobe has had a big impact on the Blazers' still-unskilled high-speed rotation defense. Some players on the Trail Blazers are not suitable for high-speed rotations.
This point of conversion prevention is also exposed.
The Lakers sent 7 players to rotate in this quarter, and 7 players scored, 5 of them scored 5 points, and the team scored 35 points in a single quarter!
The Lakers also did a pretty good job defensively in this quarter. The Trail Blazers only scored 29 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 11 points!
Liu Xiu scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.
There were fewer counterattacks, and the route of passing to the flanks in the tactics was blocked. He had 3 assists in this quarter, two of which were single points.
However, in the final quarter, the Lakers, who had played two high-intensity offenses in a row, collapsed. The team made only 7 of 23 shots, 4 three-pointers and 3 long two-pointers. The Trail Blazers actively tightened their defense and did not stick to switching defenses.
The Lakers made all 6 free throws in the final quarter and only scored 20 points in a single quarter.
As for the Trail Blazers, they started to counterattack!
Liu Xiu had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, Ray Allen had 8 points and 2 assists, Randolph had 7 points, Hill had 2 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and the Outlaws had 7 points...
The Trail Blazers scored 30+ points in the final quarter again, scoring 32 points in a single quarter!
In the last quarter, Kwame Brown was supposed to rest for half a quarter before playing again, but he kept playing and the game was wasted. He clocked out in the third quarter...
Kobe had 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, David West had 23 points, Deron had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Odom had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Wang Zhizhi had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists...the Lakers' five core performances
All good.
But Liu Xiu made 10 of 19 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 10 rebounds and 4 steals, a triple-double in the first game!
And after getting 9 assists, it took more than 3 minutes to get the 10th assist and then went off to rest... With Liu Xiu's style of play at that time, the Lakers didn't expect that he already had 9 assists. It was really a good strategy.
With cooperation, the opportunity really came, and I got my 10th assist through counterattack.
Others on the Trail Blazers, Ray Allen made 5 of 7 three-pointers and scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Randolph had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Tui had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Hill had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Gasol had 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists...
The score was 127 to 104, the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers by 23 points!
After the final whistle sounded, Kobe looked at the data on the big screen. The Trail Blazers had 31 assists tonight! Only Liu Xiu and Ray Allen made 10 three-pointers tonight!
…
"... Comprehensive score: S, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 950 healing value."
"A new starting point:...Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 random attribute point, which has been used automatically."
"Congratulations on the host's explosive power increasing from 87 to 88."
He won the first match and has not lost a single match in his career so far. Liu Xiu was very happy.
If this thing can be maintained throughout my career, it will be something worthy of showing off.
S-level rating, a good start!
The random attribute is explosive power instead of explosive acceleration, which is a bit regretful, but it’s okay, it would be good if the explosive power reaches the top first.
Liu Xiu felt a little regretful for not being able to play against Sun Yue.
The Lakers fell behind by more than ten points in the first quarter. The Lakers kept chasing points and did not give up in the final quarter. They just collapsed. Naturally, Sun Yue, a second-round pick, could not play.
However, after finishing the post-game chores, Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, and Sun Yue went to a nightclub for a drink and learned that Sun Yue was considered very important in the Lakers.
At 206 centimeters, he can play point guard, has excellent running and jumping ability, good defensive attitude and potential... During the preseason, the Lakers management also invited Magic to help Sun Yuelai.
Liu Xiu asked curiously: "Isn't Odom also a tall point guard? Didn't he teach you any experience? Didn't the Lakers ask a magician to teach him?"
When Sun Yue heard this, he replied with a pained expression: "At first, I asked Odom to teach me passing skills, but the first day of training was Saturday. He saw it was two o'clock in the afternoon and remembered that the cartoon was about to start, so he left me and went back.
I went to watch cartoons at home, and later I went to the mall to buy rolling papers, and snapped up some high-end steaks at a discount... At about two o'clock in the morning, I suddenly remembered at the nightclub that I was being taught how to play ball, and gave me a call.
I was woken up while I was sleeping soundly, and I had a quarrel with him... so the boss hired a magician."
"...Such an interesting teammate, it would be great if I had one too." Liu Xiu was speechless for two seconds before responding.
Wang Zhizhi, who didn't talk much, interjected: "Do you think he is interesting? You are greedy for his strength!
You guys are already good enough. Your new tactics remind me of the Spurs. You and Ray Allen actually scored 10 three-pointers... No, you are more scary than the Spurs. Their defense
But it's not as good as you..."
Three-pointers and defense, these two points of the Trail Blazers' opening game, even Wang Zhizhi couldn't help but complain about. The next morning, Liu Xiu saw these topics on the news about their Trail Blazers.
He had a triple-double in his first game of the new season and was praised again. He won the game.
Then there was the fact that he and Ray Allen combined to score 10 three-pointers.
Then there's their defensive performance.
The Lakers' offense is not bad. Last season's offense ranked among the top five in the league. Their offensive performance in last night's game was not bad either. They scored 66 points in the second and third quarters, but they were only defended in the first and last quarters.
Scored 18 points and 20 points... The Trail Blazers' defensive end in the first game of the new season was as amazing as Liu Xiu and Ray Allen's 10 three-pointers, and the entire team made 17 three-pointers in a single game.
In Mustache's system, good three-point shooting is normal, but good defense is surprising.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team and spent another night. November 1st, a new month has arrived.
At 8:58 in the morning, Liu Xiu came to the conference room of the Willamette Gardens training facility. His teammates arrived before him. He greeted his teammates and then went to sit in the empty seat next to Randolph.
Randolph complained: "It's said to be two days of rest. Yesterday morning I caught up on sleep, I took a flight in the afternoon, and today I'm preparing for training...it means I don't even have a day's rest."
Hill on the side heard this and laughed: "If you don't arrange your employees' rest time to fill their work, are you still called a capitalist?"
Liu Xiu echoed: "Yes, our treatment is not as good as that of Geneva prisoners of war."
Hill was just joking with a smile, but he actually laughed out loud when he heard this.
But the teammates around him looked confused, or laughed a little because they didn't understand.
The outlaw maniac asked directly: "Geneva prisoners of war? Are they treated well? By the way, what is Geneva?"
Liu Xiu: "..."
He forgot that it is basic for NBA players to be uneducated... Yes, he also has no education. If he was asked to tell him about the Geneva Convention, he would not know the specific contents.
To be continued...
