NBA: Top 6D talents to start

Aldridge also came over to greet Weidong.

During the All-Star Weekend, the balls that Weidong passed to Aldridge made Aldridge unforgettable to this day.

that feeling is amazing
After the All-Star Game, when Aldridge was chatting with Lillard, he also reminded Lillard insincerely that he should watch more video of Weidong's game and learn more about passing from Weidong.

"Welcome home, Gortat."

"Welcome home, Fry."

10 minutes before the start of the game, there was a slogan on the big screen in the arena to welcome Gortat and Frye home, although the two men played here as Suns players in the last game.

Subsequently, the starting lineups of the two teams were also played on the big screen.

Starting lineup for this game:

Suns: Weidong, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green.

Trail Blazers: Aldridge, Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Gortat.

The Trail Blazers' starting center was originally Lopez, and Lopez played very well this season, averaging 11.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, making him a qualified center.

But to let the Suns substitute Gortat directly serve as the center, it can only be said that the Trail Blazers coach Stotts really dares.

"Beep!!!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game begins.

Gortat and Durant stand in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

Durant said to Gortat: "It seems to be playing an intra-team match."

"Um"

Durant's joke didn't make Gortat amused, and Gortat looked very serious.

It is the first time to play for the Trail Blazers, and he is still the starting center. Gortat must play hard to prove that he is worthy of the starting center position, otherwise, he will be pushed back to the bench in the next game superior.

"Snapped!"

Gortat hands the ball to Lillard.

During the team training games, occasionally Gortat and Durant will jump the ball when they are more formal. The success rate of their jump ball is about 64, Gortat 6, Durant 4.

Lillard dribbles upfield.

Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, and Gortat all have scoring ability, so the Suns also adopt a more conventional 2-3 zone defense.

Facing Curry's defense, Lillard passed the ball directly to Gortat inside.

After Gortat received the ball, Green withstood Gortat's defense. Gortat received the ball, used dreamy steps to shake Green away, and hooked a layup.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

2:0! ! !

The strong lineup of the Suns has allowed many players to continue to grow in the Suns, but they rarely have the opportunity to prove themselves.

To give an inappropriate example: Forgive the fluorescent light of rotten grass, how can it compare with the bright moon of Tianxin.

It is because Weidong's brilliance is too bright, it is easy to cover up other players, but these players, especially role players, grow very fast around Weidong, but the eyes of the whole world are on Weidong.

The Suns attack.

Weidong dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Curry, who then passed the ball to Thompson, and Thompson made a three-pointer.

"bang~~~"

The shot was interfered by Batum and hit the basket.

"Grab the rebound!"

After Thompson shot, Weidong yelled to remind his teammates.

Gortat's reaction was faster than Green's. He got stuck in the first place and then grabbed the defensive rebound.

In the Suns game, Weidong used words like 'rebounding fast', 'passing', and 'defense' in Chinese, which can not only make teammates understand, but also confuse opponents.

So when Gortat heard Weidong say 'grab the rebound quickly', he immediately got stuck in the basket.

"With Gortat and Frye, maybe we can beat the Suns!"

Trail Blazers coach Stotts saw that Gortat protected the defensive rebound very well, and his confidence suddenly rose.

After Gortat grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to Lillard. Lillard dribbled the ball and went straight to the frontcourt. One step away from the three-point line, he stopped and shot a three-pointer!

Curry, who was defending Lillard, missed the brakes and watched Lillard make a shot.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

5:0! ! !

After scoring this three-pointer, Lillard clenched his right hand and swung it vigorously.

The Suns' habit is that 3 minutes before the start of the first quarter, Weidong rarely takes shots, and his teammates will take the shots. Weidong will not take shots until the teammates can't open.

After the Blazers scored five points in a row.

Durant singled Aldridge in the mid-range and succeeded in the mid-range shot.

Later, Matthews' shot was blocked by Weidong. After Weidong grabbed the rebound, he succeeded in a fast break dunk!
5:4! ! !

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

The voice of 'MVP' erupted in the American West Arena instantly.

"Personal heroism."

Stotts saw that Weidong completed everything from the block to the fast-break dunk. He snorted and thought to himself, "We are playing team basketball."

Although it was his first game with the team, Gortat connected seamlessly with the Trail Blazers.

This is the self-confidence of a player who came out of the Suns, like the tail of a crane in a key class, but in an ordinary class, he suddenly became an excellent student.

Coupled with Gortat's understanding of Green, the Suns barely scored inside after playing 5 minutes in the first quarter.

13:12! ! !

The Suns are still 1 point behind.

"pause!"

Gentry also called a timeout at this time.

The Suns have played two games with the Trail Blazers this season. This game is also the last time the Suns have met the Trail Blazers in the regular season. The Suns have achieved a record of 2 wins and 0 losses in the first two games.

"Whiteside for Green, Carter for Thompson."

Gentry made substitution adjustments, took out the tactical board and said: "The Trail Blazers are running very well, but their playmaker is Lillard. After a while, Dong Ge and Curry will switch positions, and Dong Ge will defend. Lillard, handsome, you can play normally, Aldridge is not your opponent."

McCollum and Patton were stunned for a while. Coach Gentry's tactical arrangement is too rough!

Pause ends.

After Whiteside replaced Green, the Blazers still wanted to hit the basket like they did in the first 5 minutes, and the difficulty increased.

The offensive tactics of the Suns have also been adjusted, with fewer rotations of the ball. Weidong, Durant, and Curry have started the infinite singles mode. time pass.

In less than 3 minutes, Curry made a three-pointer, Durant hit two mid-range shots, and Wei Dongli scored 7 points from outside shots.

22:28! ! !

The Suns instantly led by 6 points.
