the rest, only noise

Chapter 1261 Only You Are Not Qualified To Say That
In the second half, the Lakers took advantage of the first half and continued to test their tactics.

The inside high-low coordination that had produced good results before was played by Louis with many tricks.

Since the wolf and the pig both have flexible play styles that can be used in both high and low positions, Louis can bring many changes to this set of play.

Sometimes Garnett goes low, sometimes Barkley goes low, sometimes Garnett gives Barkley a pick-and-roll, and sometimes Barkley gives Garnett a fake pick-and-roll.

Barkley's physical advantage has been fully reflected in the pick-and-roll.

Because his body is too wide, once he is caught, it is very difficult to break free.

It's just that Barkley usually focuses on offense, and he doesn't like pick-and-roll screens, which are blue-collar jobs, but if he is asked to do these things seriously, he can do them well.

Whether it is a pick-and-roll for Garnett, a pick-and-roll for an outside ball handler, or a cover for shooters on the left and right wings, as long as the Blazers players hit him, they will basically not be able to catch up with their opponents.

At that time, the Blazers players who were affected by the pick-and-roll defense had only a few options, either to switch defenses or to squeeze over to catch up.

Today's Blazers are no longer the super team that can casually put up a five-forward formation. Their manpower is so short that if someone in the main lineup can't play, they can't fill the gap.

Now that Clifford Robinson is guilty of the third offense, it is time to tighten his tail and avoid being targeted by the referee. It is unrealistic to expect him to make up for the omissions as usual.

Pushing through is even more unrealistic, because Barkley is so strong that anyone who tries to push through will be knocked to the ground by his core strength.

And compared to what Barkley is really good at, using a strong (fat) body screen is just an advantage to make the most of it.

The real strength of Barkley is the offensive threat that revolves around him.

In the Lakers, Barkley did not get the absolute core position that other teams would give.

Louie wants him to pick and roll and screen.What do you do after the pick-and-roll is over?Of course it's down.Barkley's down threat can be described as huge, as long as he is given a one-on-one chance, even if he faces Olajuwon, he is sure to score.

In terms of the pressure and impact of the pick-and-roll on the defense alone, Barkley can be ranked above a bunch of super centers, second only to O'Neal-however, O'Neal rarely plays pick-and-roll.

Therefore, from the comprehensive consideration of the number of rolls, Barkley's offensive threat of pick-and-roll rolls can be called the league's first.

If the Blazers help the defense slower, Barkley can easily attack the basket.

If there is a defense, Barkley can also fight first and then shoot.

Even Olajuwon, as long as he eats confrontation, he will lose the ability to quickly take off and protect the rebound, and this is Barkley's most evil talent.

With such a big physique, he can still maintain the balance of his shots in a violent duel after starting at full speed, and can immediately make a second take-off even if he misses.

Barkley ate Rodman's rebounds, specifically meaning that if he only thought about grabbing rebounds like the latter, he would do better.

After Louie saw Barkley flying over Olajuwon's head for several consecutive rounds, he began to believe that the fat man was not bragging.

Of course, with his physique, if he rebounds like Rodman, how long he can last without getting injured is another topic.

With hatred for Riley, Barkley played harder and harder, gradually dominating the game.

Combined with the Lakers' high and low tactics, Barkley enjoyed the core treatment in Los Angeles for the first time.

The Blazers can only double-team.

If the Lakers' shooters don't feel good, there is still a chance.

Dale Ellis felt cold tonight. After missing two shots in the second half, Louis replaced Liu Yuqing, who was in full form in the first half.

After Liu Yuqing joined, the depth of the Lakers' offense was completely stretched. Barkley, as the core of the inside line, didn't hold the ball very much in his hands.

The Blazers bit the bullet and let Liu Yuqing double-team Barkley.

Barkley passed the ball, and Liu Yuqing's three-pointer went up and down. When the Lakers have a touch from the outside, the Blazers are very difficult to defend.

The Blazers played more and more boring. Riley, who was unwilling to give up, called timeouts and tried many different defenses, but none of them worked.

Louie also tried many tactical variants, such as letting Barkley pass the top of the arc to Barros, and the two played like a pick-and-roll and suddenly split horizontally.

Or Garnett screens for Barkley, and then one pulls out, one intrudes, or the other way around, one rolls down, and one pulls laterally to shoot or pass to the roll-down person.

Olajuwon was beaten by Barkley in a depressed mood and was not in high spirits. The Blazers trailed by 22 points.

At this point, any tactics are meaningless.

Jordan is the takeover of the Trail Blazers after all tactics failed. Before that, he also tried to give priority to tactics to cooperate with the big dream-this Portland has the most impactful insider.

The Trail Blazers in desperation can only let Jordan take over.

As for the Lakers, Wilson not only did not respond, but was replaced by Louis to rest.

Also, Wilson had a hippie smile when he left the court, and he didn't seem to take the desperate Blazers seriously.

Facts have proved that there is really no need to take the Blazers seriously.

No matter how strong Jordan's personal ability is, he can score 3 points at most in one round.

The Blazers' current state is completely unable to prevent the Lakers' offense.

Jordan scored a goal, Barkley returned a goal.

Jordan scored another goal, and Barkley assisted Liu Yuqing to make a three-pointer to open the gap by another point.

Jordan responded with a three-pointer, and Barkley hit the basket and missed, but Garnett grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a second offense.

One back and one back is equal to a tie between the two sides.

Moreover, Jordan's state will not last forever, and the Blazers' poor defensive state has not improved.

In this much-anticipated focus battle, there was a huge difference of 28 points before the fourth quarter.

The game entered garbage time.

Before the start of the last quarter, Riley replaced the Feimeng combination.

Chick Hearn said happily: "Lakers fans in front of the TV, you can now open this Thanksgiving gift from the Lakers, which contains the game tape against the Portland Trail Blazers!"

For a whole quarter of garbage time, Louie replaced all the players who could be replaced, but Kobe was left out.

Kobe expressed his willingness to play to Louie, but was rejected.

"This is your punishment for breaking my trust." Louis asked lightly, "Do you have any objections?"

Bryant said: "No, very fair."

"Hmph, it's better not to."

At the end, 125 to 104, the Lakers beat the Blazers by 21 points.

Tonight, the key to the Lakers' victory is Barkley and Liu Yuqing. The former dominated the penalty area and scored 43 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists. Not only did he blow up Olajuwon, but he also completed a vigorous but insignificant revenge on Riley.

Liu Yuqing stepped forward when Kobe was obsessed and Ellis didn't feel good. He made 18 of 12 shots, including 8 of 6 three-pointers. He scored the second highest score in the team with 30 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

The absolute core of the Lakers, Benjamin Wilson, had an unremarkable night instead.

When Barkley and Liu Yuqing were in peak form, he took the initiative to give up the stage, scoring in double figures, barely having 5 rebounds, and a lot of assists, with 11 assists being the highest in the game.

"Chuck has always been a very capable player." Wilson was full of praise for Barkley, "but tonight, he behaved like the league's No. [-] power forward. If he can maintain this performance, I believe he will not only be the league's No. [-] power forward, but also the No. [-] power forward in NBA history."

And tonight's other protagonist, Liu Yuqing, has nothing to do with the fact that he scored 30 points. When asked how he feels about this performance, his answer is surprising.

"This is thanks to Kobe and Dell," Liu Yuqing said in a calm tone. "If they had performed better, I wouldn't have gotten so many opportunities."

Hearing Liu Yuqing's remarks, Wilson quickly smoothed things over: "This is Jiang Duo's style, he is always outspoken, and he treats everyone the same."

As for the two parties mentioned by Liu Yuqing, their reactions were surprisingly consistent.

"Do you think you can talk freely after getting 30 points, who do you think you are?" Bryant said loudly.

Ellis nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed in a bad state tonight, but who can guarantee that I will be in a good state every night?"

Liu Yuqing untied her shoelaces and asked, "So, did I say something wrong?"

"You!" Kobe said angrily, "Of course you are wrong! How can you criticize your teammates in front of outsiders!"

Liu Yuqing asked again: "Did I say something wrong?"

Ellis said: "Even if you are right, you shouldn't say those things to the media!"

Liu Yuqing asked blankly, "Why?"

Kobe replied: "Because we shouldn't get too close to the media that do good things!"

Liu Yuqing's mouth twitched slightly as if hearing the funniest joke.

He mocked Kobe in a flat tone: "Only you who think of being handsome all the time are not qualified to say such things."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yuqing walked towards the shower room, leaving Ke and Ai feeling ashamed.
