NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

Yin Suwan said: "Yes, aren't you guys going to play the Trail Blazers? Let me say hello to you in advance. If Lillard takes the initiative to chat with you, you should be mentally prepared."

Xu Feng replied: "Okay, I understand, don't worry, I know what to do."

……

In the warm-up training before the game, Lillard really walked to the Lakers.

Lillard seems to be a very proud person. In fact, he is also quite talented. In his spare time, he will compose some songs and sing them by himself. It is said that the sales are not bad.

Before and after the game, he would not chat with Xu Feng, and Xu Feng didn't bother to talk to him.

If Yin Suwan hadn't greeted him in advance this time, Xu Feng would probably be very surprised.

After Lillard came over, he took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Xu Feng, welcome to Portland!"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Thank you, you've been in good form recently, show yourself well tonight!"

Lillard nodded: "You are very hopeful to win the MVP this season, I am happy for you. But the season is still very long, you have to keep it!"

The two chatted very politely, but also very down-to-earth, like old friends.

Lillard didn't mention Feita Sports, and Xu Feng didn't mention it either. The two of them have tacitly increased their familiarity with each other.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game begins.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is Xu Feng, Kobe, McGee, Tucker and Lin Shuhao.

The Blazers' starting five are Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, and Lopez.

At the start of the game, McGee and Lopez jumped the ball in the middle circle.

McGee grabbed the first wave of possession for the Lakers.

Lin Shuhao dribbled the ball for half court and handed the ball to Kobe.

Matthews defends Kobe.

Matthews is a strong defensive player. Kobe faced Matthews and tried to make a few shots, but he failed to pass the ball to Xu Feng.

Batum defends Xu Feng alone, and he is just trying. If he can't defend, the Blazers will definitely double-team.

Facing Batum, Xu Feng first used his body to resist half of his body, and then used his speed to squeeze towards the basket.

Although Batum moved quite fast, his body was a little thin, and he had no temper when he was squeezed by Xu Feng.

At the basket, Lopez came over to help defend, stretching out his hands, completely covering the space for Xu Feng's layup.

Xu Feng looked at the rebound, but passed the ball under his arm.

McGee received the ball and dunked directly to score!

2: 0!

Xu Feng's threat at the basket was too great, and Lopez was also very helpless.

The game continued, and the Blazers launched an offense.

Lillard dribbled the ball past halftime, and Lin Shuhao stepped forward to defend.

Because Lin Shuhao is taller and stronger than Lillard, Lillard is not easy to play, so he reached out and called the pick-and-roll.

Aldridge ran out and blocked Lin Shuhao, Tucker defended Lillard, Lillard immediately passed the ball to Aldridge.

Aldridge faced Lin Shuhao and easily made a long two-pointer.

2: 2 flat!
This is the Blazers' classic style of play, Lillard and Aldridge's pick-and-roll.

Both of them are too accurate, so this style of play is almost invincible in the regular season.

Xu Feng frowned, he walked to McGee, and whispered a few words.

The game continues, the Lakers attack.

Lin Shuhao and McGee played a pick-and-roll, and Lin Shuhao rushed near the bottom line.

Facing Lopez, Lin Shuhao directly hit the big with two points!
Unfortunately, Lopez's arm was too long, and he hit the ball and missed it.

The ball was grabbed by Batum.

But just as he was about to launch a counterattack, Xu Feng grabbed him down.

After stealing the ball, Xu Feng went to the basket, but before the opponent could react, Xu Feng made a layup!

4: 2!

Xu Feng relied on active fighting to score again.

In the next game, both sides had offense and defense, and the fight was inextricable.

The Blazers are one of the few teams in the league with five starters, each with a shot.

Even center Lopez has a mid-range shot and a three-pointer, so it is very difficult to play.

Lillard has a big heart and always plays at critical moments, so the Blazers have done very well this season.

With a three-pointer from Matthews, the Blazers extended their lead to 4 points, and D'Antoni quickly called a timeout.

At this time, the game time was 6 minutes and 32 seconds in the first quarter, and the score was 18:14.

Except for Xu Feng on the Lakers side, Kobe didn't feel good. Lin Shuhao hit a three-pointer, but missed the shot.

Tucker hit two corner three-pointers, not bad.

But the Blazers are in full bloom, Lillard has 5 points, Matthews has 6 points, Batum has 3 points, Aldridge has 2 points, and Lopez has 2 points.

D'Antoni emphasized defense, but Tucker couldn't guard Aldridge's shots due to his height, and McGee couldn't guard Lopez.

The situation is critical.

Xu Feng stood up and said: "Everyone should be more active, pay attention to the rotation of defense, and don't just stare at your own people."

The timeout ended and the game continued. The Lakers players ran more actively, which gave the Blazers a strong sense of oppression.

Sure enough, the Blazers started to miss the mark.

Livingston has an advantage in height. When he defends Lillard, it is difficult for Lillard, who is basically defendable.

And Kobe also took out the energy of defense and locked Matthews.

Not to mention Xu Feng, he just got a three-pointer stolen by Batum, this time Xu Feng didn't give him another chance, making Batum cry.

Although Aldridge has an advantage in height, Tucker used his solid lower body to firmly withstand Aldridge's legs.

This defensive action, between a foul and a non-foul, made Aldridge very uncomfortable, affected his shooting action, and missed three shots.

Although one of Tucker's fouls was called by the referee, Tucker's defense achieved good results.

The Blazers encountered a scoring drought, and the Lakers began to overtake.

At 9 minutes and 24 seconds into the first quarter, the score came to 32:24. The Lakers led by 8 points, and the Blazers called a timeout.

D'Antoni applauded vigorously from the sidelines. He was very satisfied with the defensive strength shown by the team just now.

"Yes, just do it! Don't let them shoot easily, and even make it difficult to catch the ball!"

D'Antoni is still a bit of a level. Although defense is not his strong point of coaching, for a team like the Trail Blazers, five players can shoot, but he still has a lot of experience in teams without superstars.

The Lakers' substitutes were also listening, and D'Antoni also emphasized the enthusiasm of defense to them.

The timeout ends, the game continues, and both teams come off the bench.

Lin Shuhao led the bench and also played aggressively, with a strong sense of defensive oppression.

Originally, Chandler was a defensive champion, plus Ellington and Bojan, they completely suppressed the Blazers' substitutes.

The Trail Blazers team is like this. It looks very balanced, but when it encounters a strong team, it can't beat it.

The same is true last season, the Lakers have seen through this team, and so has D'Antoni.
