NBA backer king

Chapter 527 Defeating the Blazers

In the low position on the left wing, Pharaoh took the ball again, retreated and turned around, making a breakthrough towards the basket.

The retreat this time is different from the previous ones. It used to be an oblique retreat, but this time it is a forward retreat.

"wrong."

Duncan still reacted very quickly and retreated immediately, but he immediately discovered that there was a problem. The old K's retreat was in the wrong direction, and he and the old K were no longer on the same line.

But at this moment, Wang Tiejun took a direct step, avoiding Duncan's front, and rushed into the paint area.

"what?"

Duncan, who was expressionless, was shocked, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Oops!"

Dameng, who was returning to the basket on the weak side, also knew that it was not good. Duncan retreated to the baseline, and now he was exposed to the old K's sight, and the ball was aimed at him.

"Forced buckle?"

The Lakers fans in the audience instantly became excited, and the adrenaline in their bodies burst out instantly.

In the next moment, Pharaoh stepped forward violently, his left elbow was stuck against Duncan, and he held the ball in his right hand, smashing the basket like a dream.

Duncan was pushed outside, and he didn't care about the foul. During the jump, he hugged his arms directly, and then pulled down, pulling the old K who was about to catch the big dream from the sky.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew immediately.

"Fifth offender, Duncan's fifth offence." Su Qun said excitedly.

"Dameng only made three fouls, and Duncan made four before. I guess Tiejun's attack is actually aimed at making Duncan's foul." Zhang Lili laughed.

"It's possible." Su Qun nodded.

On the court, Pharaoh made two free throws and made two free throws.

The Blazers attacked, and the flying mouse broke through with the ball.

Kobe played the main defense today at the request of Lao Wang, but he was still overwhelmed by the flying mouse. The flying mouse has scored 19 points so far, 15 of which were scored on his head.

But this time, he kept up with the breakthrough of Little Flying Squirrel, because until now, the Lakers had a more sufficient rotation, and his physical fitness was better than Little Flying Squirrel.

"Snapped!"

Little Flying Squirrel made a strong breakthrough. He used his body to continuously squeeze the opponent while chasing and defending, causing the former's mistakes, and completed the steal, and then immediately launched a counterattack.

"boom!"

Amid the cheers of the Lakers fans, Kobe flew up, turned around in the air, clasped his hands behind his back, and scored a goal.

"It's beautiful. Kobe used his defense to make a contribution at the critical moment and completed a fast break with one steal and one stop." Lao Zhang said happily.

"Little Flying Squirrel can't run fast anymore." Su Qun laughed.

"Except for the Iron Army, the average playing time of the Blazers' four main players is about seven or eight minutes longer than that of the Lakers' main players. This is the advantage of the thickness of the lineup. I can rest, but you can't." Zhang Lili laughed.

Su Qun said with a smile: "Actually, except for old K, in the playoffs, the Lakers' other positions are rotated, and it doesn't matter whether the main lineup or the substitute lineup."

"Yes, in the regular season, for the purpose of training rookies, Kobe and Fortson played more playing time, but in the playoffs, Danny Fortson and Tyron Hill played about the same amount of time. Although Chris Mullin and Rick Fox were substitutes, they played more than [-] minutes. Seven players played four positions, and the rotation was very sufficient." Nodding, Zhang Reasonable said.

"boom!"

The Blazers attacked, and Ryder couldn't move suddenly. He shot against Chris Mullin's defense and missed the shot.

Mullin's defense is limited to not being tall enough, which is only average, but it is not very weak. He averaged 1.3 steals per game this season, and he has an attitude in defense.

"Give it in."

Seeing that Ryder was still shooting outside at such a critical moment, Dunleavy became furious and yelled and shouted on the sidelines.

The Lakers attack.

Today Lao Wang has not directly entered the basket to get a position, but this time, he ran directly to the basket.

Duncan immediately circled forward, and Dameng also approached the basket, preparing to double-team the basket.

But at this moment, Lao Wang, who had just approached the basket, suddenly took a step to the left of the basket. During a turn and retreat, Duncan was stuck with his left elbow and raised his right hand for the ball.

At the top of the arc, Kobe was already ready. He knew that Old K was going to the basket for a strong attack, so he immediately took a step back and passed the ball in from Flying Squirrel's head.

"damn it!"

The ball was passed over his head again, and Little Momonga cursed secretly.

"Snapped!"

Lao Wang received the ball, and the big dream in the low position on the right wing had already jumped behind him. Duncan had already wrapped his left arm, and the double-team was completed.

The next moment, his left foot did not move, his right foot slid a half-circle on the floor, leaned on Duncan and took a step back, withdrew from the left front side of the basket to the front of the basket, dodged the little devil's hand that Da Meng stretched out from behind to poke the ball, started with one foot, pressed Duncan with his left arm to prevent him from jumping, and dunked the ball with his right hand.

"boom!"

Duncan took the initiative to clamp Old K's left arm, and it was too late to let go. He was crushed to death by a huge force. Old K's single-arm strength and 135 kilograms of tonnage made him unable to get off the ground even half a point, and he was detained firmly.

"Di!"

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the referee's whistle sounded, making a two-point score, and Duncan blocked the foul gesture.

"Beautiful! Tim Duncan commits six fouls, old K knocked down the top pick, and now the Lakers have the initiative in G1." Su Qun said excitedly.

"No surprises, this game should be fine. Tie Jun can switch from offense to defense next. Under his defense, Dameng can't play explosive offensive firepower. Flying Squirrel and Ryder are also tired now, and there is almost no chance to play explosive performance at the last time. The Lakers have already controlled the situation and victory is in sight." Zhang Lili said happily.

His words were fulfilled by the Lakers. A few minutes later, the game ended and the Lakers won the G1 game, 96:107, winning by 11 points.

Wang Tiejun was replaced in the 46th minute and enjoyed the applause of the Lakers fans alone.

粟群兴奋地道：“老K全场45分钟又24秒，28投18中，命中率64.2%，13罚9中，命中率64.2%，轰下45分15篮板5助攻2抢断6盖帽2失误4犯规的数据。

In addition, Richmond scored 15 points, Chris Mullin 11 points, Rick Fox 10 points, and the team scored in double figures.There are also Kobe with 7 points, Hill with 6 points, Fortson with 6 points, and Mark Price with 5 points.

In this game, the Lakers have a total of nine players in rotation. Old K plus seven important players in the rotation, the eight players scored a total of 105 points. Fisher, who played for 5 minutes, scored the last two points. "

Zhang Lili went on to say: "For the Trail Blazers, Dameng scored 33 points and shot 55.6%, beating Fordson and Hill.

Duncan scored 18 points, but his shooting percentage was only 38.5%. The efficiency of being defended by the Iron Army was greatly lost, but it was also in line with the performance of the two of them in the regular season.

Flying Squirrel scored 21 points and shot 42.5% from the field, higher than the efficiency of the previous two series. Ryder scored 14 points and shot 41.2% from the field.

The Blazers' four main players scored a total of 86 points. The team's sixth player, Brian Grant, scored 7 points, and the other substitutes scored 3 points.

The Blazers had only eight players in rotation, and the three substitute players scored a total of 10 points, but the Lakers' substitute scored 29 points. In the end, the Lakers won by 11 points. "

"Haha, aside from old K's performance, it's the substitute who decides the outcome of the game." Su Qun laughed.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Tie Jun's performance is decisive. He played beautiful offense and defense while limiting Duncan's performance. This is a foundation. Without this foundation, no matter how good the bench lineup is, it will not be able to win against the Blazers."

Su Qun asked: "Director Zhang, the Blazers' two insiders are both top-notch offense and defense, but Old K scored 45 points on his head, and his shooting percentage was as high as [-]%. This must be a problem with the defense. So where is the problem with their defense?"

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Except for the first period of time, Tiejun played too fiercely, which made Dameng and Duncan unable to react. In other time periods, as long as Dameng and Duncan are on the court at the same time, there is no problem in defending Tiejun.

We can look at the shooting percentage of Tie Jun in the first quarter. He made 3 of 3 shots in the opening game, and then Dameng and Duncan strengthened their defense.

Leaving aside the opening and last paragraphs of the first quarter, we only look at the middle period. It should be the normal performance of Dameng and Duncan defending the Iron Army. They can limit the efficiency of the Iron Army to 50%, which is already very good.

If Tie Jun's overall shooting rate in a game is only 50%, then he is just an ordinary star with average efficiency, and he can't talk about dominance, and the Lakers are likely to fall at the feet of the Blazers. "

"I understand."

Su Qun thought for a while and said, "Because of their physical fitness, Dameng and Duncan couldn't maintain a high-energy defense against Old K throughout the entire court. As long as one is off the court and the other declines due to lack of physical fitness, Old K can blow up the other. That's why they can't join forces to defend Old K."

Zhang Lili said: "Actually, the overall advantage of the Lakers today is not great. The outside defense is the same as the Blazers, and they only have one more rebound. Duncan and Dameng are very good at grabbing rebounds. If it weren't for the Lakers' Iron Army, Hill, and Fortson.

……

During the ABC live broadcast, Elanton analyzed: "It's still a problem in the regular season. The Blazers' two insiders can't prevent the old K, but the old K can limit Duncan.

Although Duncan scored 18 points, Old K hit more than [-]% of his shots, so his efficiency seemed

Seriously not enough, when the old K maintains a strong confrontation, it is difficult for him to keep his technical moves without deformation, and it is also difficult for him to score into the basket.Ninety percent of all his offenses are outside the paint, which prevents his efficiency from being effectively improved. "

Gomez nodded and said: "The Blazers lost, the substitute is an important reason, but Duncan is the real most important reason, if this is not resolved, the Blazers will be very dangerous.

With the deepening of the series, it will further approach the physical limit of the players, and the state will continue to decline, but we have seen the physical advantage of the old K, which will be the biggest problem facing the Blazers and the biggest advantage of the Lakers. "

Lao Wang was accepting a live interview with ABC TV station on the sidelines. He played for 45 minutes. Given his physical fitness level, he was also very tired, but he won the game, so he was very energetic.

"Old K, how much of your strength have you played tonight?" The reporter asked with a smile.

Lao Wang said without hesitation: "[-]%, I can't play against the Blazers. If I do that, I will probably lose."

"What do you think of the Blazers?" The reporter asked again.

Lao Wang said while thinking: "For the entire league, they are a very strong super team, but their strengths and weaknesses are also quite obvious. The top offensive and defensive interior combination, the exterior is not efficient enough, and the defense is weak.

I think next season if they adjust the outside lineup and the bench lineup, they will be stronger and have the qualifications to really reach the finals, but they are still a little bit close. "

"Do you think the Lakers will beat the Trail Blazers?" The reporter asked again.

Lao Wang said confidently: "This is for sure. Our confidence is extremely strong and cannot be questioned. In fact, our lineup is also quite strong, no worse than them. If they can't defend against my offense and are restricted by me on the offensive end, then they have already lost half. If they lose to us in terms of lineup thickness, they will lose the other half."

"How do you evaluate Duncan?" The reporter finally asked.

Since this season, this question has been asked badly, but when the media interviewed him, they were still willing to ask this question. Lao Wang could only patiently say:
"He is very good. With my full defense, he also scored 18 points and 9 rebounds today, almost getting 20+10 data.

I hope he will continue to work hard and play better performances in the remaining games of the Western Conference Finals, which will also make our Western Conference champions better. "

After the interview, he bid farewell to the fans and friends, and returned to the locker room with his teammates.

They left, and the media immediately found some players on the scene and started interviewing them.

"Charles, Kevin, Irwin, how do you comment on this game?" The reporter found a group of Barkley, and there were several stars on their side.

Barkley immediately said: "Old K scored 45 points, while Hakeem and Duncan teamed up to score 51 points. He single-handedly supported the Blazers' two big inside scoring, and he was more efficient. The situation is already very clear. The Blazers' defense against Old K has completely failed. If there is no targeted change, they will lose."

Lightning went on to say: "Today's Blazers lost, one is that the lineup is not as thick as the Lakers, and the other is defense. I won't talk about the lineup.

The old K is the key point, and the old K cannot be guarded, so the Bulls were defeated by our Suns three times, and Michael Jordan was unable to recover the defeat.

Switching to the Blazers, it's okay if they can't defend the old K. As long as they can play the low-post offense inside, they have a chance to win.

But Duncan also allowed the old K to make less than [-]% of his field goals, which is not as good as the two outside lines. This is the most important reason for the loss.

Perimeter defense. In fact, the Lakers' perimeter defense today is average. They didn't defend the opponent. It was just a fight, and no one took advantage. "

Magic Johnson took over the conversation and said with confidence: "Our outside line did not take advantage, but the rotation of players is more sufficient, and the physical fitness is better maintained. With the deepening of the series, I think we will definitely gain the upper hand.

When our outside line has the upper hand, coupled with the old K's advantage inside, we will definitely be able to defeat the Blazers and reach the finals. "

At this time, the reporter asked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "Karim, what do you think of K's strength in the low position?"

Abdul-Jabbar shook his head and said with emotion: "I can only say that Old K is too strong! Both Dameng and Duncan belong to the top offensive and defensive insiders, but they can't prevent Old K's offense together. This is the performance of dominance!
As for old K's defense, I always think his defense is slightly inferior to offense. His offense is really invincible, just like Michael Jordan's offense on the outside. He has unprecedented dominance in the low post on the offensive end. "

"Do you think Dameng and Duncan have a chance to restrain Old K?" the reporter asked again.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hesitated for a moment before saying: "The current Tim Duncan is still a little inexperienced. He is indeed a complete body. He is at the peak when he debuts. When facing other opponents, he can efficiently play 20+10 superstar data.

But what he is facing now is Old K, the No.1 in active service, the No. 1 center in active service, and even the No. [-] center in history.

You ask me now, can he and Dameng restrict Old K, then tell you, it is also possible, they did restrict Old K many times tonight.

Old K broke out with all his strength today, shooting 66.6% from the field. In his playoff data, he was not very good. He even shot [-]% of the shots in the finals, which shows that the defense of the two of them is indeed effective.

The key is that they will always have one person off the court for a lot of time, which prevents their defense from reaching the intensity that can really limit the old K. "
