Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 108 Reliable star outside line standards are a bit high!
Trail Blazers coach Dunleavy replaced Pippen and Rasheed, which stabilized the situation on the field.

At this time, the Trail Blazers' lineup became Greg Anthony, Wells, Pippen, Rasheed and O'Neal.

The Lakers' striker began to be slaughtered.

It seems that the talented front line of the Lakers is not enough to get in front of the Trail Blazers.

Facing Lewis, Pippen not only had the advantage in physical confrontation, but also in speed.

Lewis's nonsensical characteristics are full of flaws in front of Pippen.

It's okay for Horry to bully the immature O'Neal and the old Schramf. Facing the top power forward Rasheed, Horry has experienced the pain of being controlled by the Western star power forward.

Brad Miller's physical talent was also crushed in front of O'Neal.

Indeed, in the Trail Blazers, Jermaine O'Neal was suppressed and couldn't get his head around it. However, compared with other teams, his physical talent is also top-notch.

Otherwise, he would not get a middle-class contract now, with an annual salary of about 450 million.

It's not comparable to Garnett, but it's quite enough.

Ginobili felt that Wells was not like an outside line. The physical confrontation made him very overwhelmed, and he was forced to defend.

Offensively, he made a sharp breakthrough, and under the help of Pippen and the sweeping of Rasheed and O'Neal, the demon knife was not easy to use.

In other words, the Trail Blazers recruited Pippen just to solve the defensive problems of point guards and organizational problems.

For Stoudemire and Greg Anthony, in addition to their physical weakness and defensive loopholes, there are also many problems with the organization on the field.

Don't ask, ask is that they will only break points.

The strength of the Trail Blazers on the bench last season was one of the best in the league.

This season, on the basis of the previous ones, we will carry out targeted reinforcements.

Functionally, the team's shortcomings have become less and less.

The only weakness is that Sabonis is one year older, and then, the ultimate problem for the Trail Blazers, the Flying Squirrel's defensive failure.

Iverson is a little bit taller than Flying Squirrel, 183, that's all, it can't be solved in a lifetime, but the Trail Blazers are almost done.

They used money to completely block this loophole, this short board.

The defensive end was blocked, and then the Lakers were unlucky.

The Trail Blazers singled out and picked and rolled, and began to make frequent contributions.

Li Mu could only use O'Neill's trump card to keep the situation from getting out of hand.

However, the wind direction has turned to the Trail Blazers.

After the second quarter, the Blazers led the Lakers by 52 points with a score of 47 to 5, and entered the locker room to rest.

Back from the second half of the game, Li Mu will replace the starting five players.

However, the Lakers' forward line was still blown out.

Rashid received the ball and singled out Big Ben.

Use your height and mid-range shot to score points on Big Ben.

When Daben is at his peak in the future, he will be blown away by Duncan in the finals.

Rashid is naturally not as strong as Duncan, but it is not much worse.

Moreover, Daben is not at his peak at this time.

The straight arm turned over and made a big mid-range shot, which made Da Ben completely helpless.

On the point guard line, Stoudemire is a defensive loser. On top of the power forward, Da Ben and his head are only 2 meters tall, which is also misplaced.

Immediately afterwards, Pippen played with his back and strength to bully Bowen.

Li Mu can only hope that O'Neal will blow up the Trail Blazers' restricted area, and Billups will continue to put pressure on the point guard's Stoudemire.

Sabonis is 2 meters tall and weighs 21 kilograms. His body shape is not much worse than O'Neal's.

If other insiders face O'Neill, it will be a [-]-[-] or above situation.

Sabonis faced O'Neal, and at any rate there was a [-]-[-] situation, which was enough.

Occasional fouls and Rasheed's defense can limit O'Neal to a [-]-[-] situation.

On Billups' side, with Pippen's defense, the efficiency of attacking Stoudemire also dropped.

At this moment, Li Mu had a very headache.

The Trail Blazers are very strong and can force out the original shape of the Lakers.

Li Mu's formation is a bit difficult, and it's hard for anyone to do it.

On Bowen, he is not good at attacking.

On Ginobili, he is not good at defense.

On Rice, he can't attack with the ball, and he can play without the ball without passing.

Go to Lewis, you can't attack, you can't defend.

On Hori, ditto, no three no four.

At this time, Li Mu began to miss Kobe.

Combination of offense and defense, able to attack and defend well, able to run, pass and rush, iron man attributes, minor injuries can not go to the line of fire, and can also strike iron.

Almighty subject, pointing to the skill point of unyielding fighting spirit, how commendable it is.

In other words, it is said that as long as O'Neal is accompanied by a reliable star perimeter, he can win the championship.

Isn't this reliable standard a bit high?
The lower limit also needs to find someone like Wade, and the Sharks need to swim out of the perimeter and pick and roll for Wade.

It also needs to be equipped with the almighty Posey, the fat head who needs to shoot three-pointers, the white chocolate Jason Williams, the glove Payton, the chief Zoe Mourning, etc., plus Wade, the god of the league, the whistle of the league, and many other factors , to be able to win the championship.

This is the star outside standard.

Do you care about the word "reliable"?

"O'Neal at his peak still has no solution in the penalty area.

However, no one can make up for Kobe's absence.

Bowen, Rice, Lewis, and Fox all have the strength, but they lack a little fire. ’ explained Mike Breen.

"It can only be said that the Trail Blazers lineup is too strong. They are not a complete Lakers. They are really no match for them."

At this time, apart from the problems with the Lakers' lineup, Li Mu on the coach's bench also had problems with on-the-spot scheduling.

In the past, he could rely on Kobe and O'Neal to solve all the problems, but now there is only one O'Neal, which is not enough at all.

The rhythm of the game is completely controlled by the Trail Blazers, and the advantages of the game are accumulated by the Trail Blazers bit by bit.

hum~~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

With a score of 102 to 96, the Lakers lost the Trail Blazers by 6 points and received their second loss of the new season.

O'Neal had 35 points, 12 baskets and 3 assists, which is not to say that he is not strong.

However, Billups has 21 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, Rice has 18 points and 3 rebounds, Ginobili has 16 points and 2 assists, and the support of outside firepower is far from enough.

Pippen had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and Rasheed had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. The stars were shining, and all the people were soldiers. The Lakers lost Kobe, and the loss was not unjust.

……

On December 12, the Lakers took their anger out on the Wizards and beat their opponents by 7 points.

No way, the Wizards sent Chris Webber away, leaving only Jumay Howard inside, unable to withstand the impact of O'Neal.

Mitch Richmond on the outside line, under Bowen's marking, attacked frequently.

Hamilton, who had just entered the league, was not reused.

His off-ball tactics require the cooperation of the whole team, and he ran to the instructions of the spit.

The head coach of the Wizards will not use it either!

On December 12, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Kings at Arco Arena.

The offensive state is excellent, and the Princeton Kings' system is well established. In terms of offense, the Lakers couldn't find their way, and gave the Lakers their third loss in the new season.

Next, while the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies, Pistons, Clippers, Eagles, and Timberwolves to achieve 5 consecutive victories, they also received a better message.
