Chapter 594 The Eagle Wants To Become A Phoenix

一节打完，王泽林5投4中，2罚全中，拿下10分4篮板2助攻2盖帽的数据，帮助开拓者31:25，领先老鹰6分。

At the beginning of the second quarter, the main players on both sides rested off the court.

The Eagles are Saposoflosa, Pero Antic, Dennis Schroeder, Mike Scott, Kent Batesmore.

For the Blazers, Beverly leads, plus Carter, Morrow, Yi Jianlian and Garnett.

The Eagles came up to attack first, and Schroeder's catch missed a three-pointer.

Garnett protected the defensive rebound.

In the frontcourt, Garnett received the ball from a high position, and the world scored Yi Jianlian's layup.

"beep~"

At this moment, a whistle came from the sidelines, and it turned out that the Eagles called a timeout.

The teammates on the field were stunned for a moment.

Less than half a minute into the second quarter, the Eagles called a timeout.

Sitting by the bed, Wang Zelin was also a little dazed. He glanced at Coach Terry, who was also confused. Then he turned his head and saw Mike Budenholzer, who was facing him with an unhappy face, and seemed to understand something.

As the coach of the Spurs, Budenholzer, to a certain extent, has a coaching style similar to Simavich, but whenever he sees a player making a low-level mistake, he can't help but reprimand him, and in more serious cases, he may even change the lineup directly.

Back all day, the Eagles offense.

They suddenly stopped playing as a team. After Schroeder picked and rolled, he played Yi Jianlian after a misplacement.

After Yi Jianlian joined the Trail Blazers, the accurate positioning of the team is a 3D player, who is the main coach of outside shooting, blocking cuts and man-to-man defense.

After more than one season, his defensive ability has made great progress compared with the previous two years when he played in the CBA. After being broken, he chased and defended in time, destroying Schroeder's layup.

"Good hat!"

"It looks so beautiful!"

Seeing this scene, the court duo couldn't help but praise.

It's not easy!

After all, Yi Jianlian is not Wang Zelin, so chasing after him like this is probably not common in a season.

After Beverley got the ball, he quickly launched a push, and immediately found Carter who cut to the basket.

After receiving the ball, Carter drove straight into the paint all the way. It seemed that the former UFO was about to take off again.

"Snapped!"

It's a pity that the young Eagles were ignorant, and the substitute small forward Mike Scott rushed up, and the blocked shot during the chase hit Carter's hands hard.

"hiss!"

The audience on the sidelines all gasped after seeing it.

It hurts just to hear it.

Carter got two free throws, endured the pain and made two free throws, and the Trail Blazers once again widened the point difference.

Back on the defensive end, the Trail Blazers focused on marking the young guard Schroeder of the Eagles. Even though Schroeder is only in the second grade, he has made the fastest progress.

This season's scoring average has broken from 3.7 points in his rookie year to double digits, his passing ability has also improved, and his average assists per game has come to 4.

Sure enough, this time the Eagles still handed the ball to Schroeder, but in the face of the opponent's key marking, his pick-and-roll breakthrough failed and passed to Pero Antich inside.

Pero Antic turned around to hit Garnett, and when he was about to turn around and hook, Garnett made a sneaky look based on his old experience...

"Snapped!"

Steal it.

"Fast attack! Fast attack!"

The home fans quickly boiled.

Morrow advanced to the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian came up to do the pick-and-roll, and then faced Schroeder after being misplaced.

Morrow, who had the height advantage, was not in a hurry to make a shot, but observed his teammates' running positions while controlling the ball.

At this time, Garnett cut in from the bottom corner and kept beckoning. Morrow quickly took the ball and lobbed it in. Garnett went to the basket and scored.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Blazers beat their opponents to a 6:0 spurt.

At 37:25, the lead reached 12 points.

Will the Hawks call a timeout?

not at all.

After receiving the ball from the backcourt, Schroeder advanced quickly. After the head coach Budenholzer on the sidelines roared for a while, the players on the Eagles became more patient, and he also slowly sorted out the offense.

Another pick-and-roll was called, Schroeder made a false shot, and after passing Beverly, he assisted Saposoflosa, who flew and dunked with one arm.

With this dunk, the low morale of the Eagles increased, and they played back and forth with the Blazers in the next round.

After most of the quarter, after coach Terry called a timeout, he replaced the main players one after another.

Wang Zelin hit a mid-range shot from the free throw line when he reappeared, but Korver on the opposite side quickly responded with an outside three-pointer.

Batum succeeded in holding the ball, and Paul Millsap turned around and assisted Jeff Teague for a layup.

After halftime, the Blazers led by 55 points at 46:9.

With the normal performance of the players on both sides, the Trail Blazers still relied on higher-quality stars to play and slowly gained the upper hand on the court.

During the intermission, players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another.

The atmosphere in the Blazers' locker room was quite lively. Coach Terry kept berating Fang Qiu, saying that the generals had to play more aggressively when they came back from the second half and play their own aggressiveness.

On the contrary, the atmosphere in the Eagles' locker room was a bit dull.

The Eagles have just ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories in the past, which allowed them to quickly climb to second place in the East.If they can win the Trail Blazers tonight and get four consecutive victories, they can climb to the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference.

That's No. [-] in the East!
Even when Dominique Wilkins, the best human movie star, led the Eagles, the best regular season record in team history was only 57 wins and 25 losses, ranking second in the division...

This season, the Eagles are likely to create a new confrontation regular season record, so all players are full of motivation for every next game.

Even if their opponent tonight is the Portland Trail Blazers, the league's top team that has just set a record of 24 consecutive victories in the opening game, they still have to try to pull out their teeth.

This team full of civilian attributes has been underestimated since the beginning of the season. Even now, their record has reached the top two in the division, and foreign media and fans are still not optimistic about their ability to hit the championship.

Someone has to have the last laugh, why can't it be us?
Commoner eagles also long to one day be able to fly on branches and become phoenixes!

……

The second half of the game is about to start, and general manager Neil Orshisi and owner Paul Allen came to the locker room.

As soon as I came in, I saw Coach Terry pouring chicken soup on the players to boost their morale.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they became more confident about the next game.

Come back from the intermission and the second half will continue.

The fans at the scene were extremely excited. In the first game of the new year, no one wanted to give up the fruits of victory.

What's more, it would be embarrassing to lose at home.
