The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 150 Three Guard Lineup

Coach McMillan could only call a timeout and replace Lillard again.

"Damien played very early, with 10 minutes left to play, usually 7 minutes left." Stoudemire drank water leisurely.

If the Blazers' offense is basically launched from the outside when Aldridge is not on the court, although Lillard is a point guard in name, in fact the heavy responsibility of scoring still falls on his shoulders, which is his fate.

The characteristic of this player is that he is old, very old, unlike other teams who only played one year in college or even skipped college and entered the NBA directly. He played four years in college, so mentally, or in the choice of shooting In fact, he is much more sophisticated than the average player.

在他的大三赛季，场均得到24.5分(全队最高)、5个篮板、4次助攻和1.5次抢断。在参加的32场比赛得分全部上双，在与波特兰州立大学的比赛中18投13中得到大学生涯最高的40分。

And scored 28 points and grabbed a college-high 12 rebounds against Mayville State, and dished out a career-high 31 points in another crucial game against Southern Utah. 9 assists.That game made the people of the United States remember him.

He once revealed the true meaning of his jersey number in an interview: "The number 0 I wear is actually the letter 'O', not a number, because I was born in Oakland, and my university was in Ogden, Utah. In Oregon."
Obviously, although he has just entered the league, many people have compared him with another No. 0 player, the same combo guard, and the same explosive scoring ability.

He has a good physical condition, a strong body has the advantage of playing point guard, his wingspan is good, his speed is at an excellent level, and he is full of impact in fast breaks; he has good ball control skills, excellent basic skills in long-range shots, and his passing is trustworthy , Breaking through and scoring the ball is his ultimate move.

His transition from college to professional league was almost seamless, his calm brain and proficient technical support made him invincible, and he conquered fans and management in a short time.

Because of his arrival, no one said that Portland is a cursed city anymore. Portland's appeal in the free market has also increased a lot, and the team's operating pressure has been much reduced.

Since he came on the court, the Blazers' offense has indeed become organized, and the cooperation between the outside line and the inside line has increased a lot. Although Jeffries is still wasting his passes, at least he can't let the Grizzlies' Gay and others Starting a fast break and scoring points directly, you must know that it is very harmful to morale.

Du Lin stood still outside the three-point line, squatted with his hands open, and pretended to catch the ball at any time. Gay passed by him and quickly inserted into the basket.

"I still want to dunk!" Jeffries expressed his anger, and jumped up with all his strength, trying to block Guy who was in that position, but Guy just feinted and the ball was given to Arthur who followed , Arthur finally completed a mid-range shot. Although he bumped twice, he went in anyway.

He excitedly gave Guy a high-five to celebrate. At least with this shot, he can show off to his family.

Matthews and Lillard whispered a few words and ran away.This detail happened to be glimpsed by Guy who hadn't even played in the second half.

"What were they discussing just now? Is it a tactic? Is it going to be a shot after the pick-and-roll on the line? Huh, these two people can only shoot on the line, and they don't have the ability to cut to the basket." Gay has already made up his mind.

Matthews jogged to the right corner and stood there while Lillard bent over the upline and dribbled, his eyes scanning the court.

Coach Mike Millan on the sidelines also crossed his arms and observed everything on the court. At this time, he was also thinking of countermeasures, how to catch up and even overtake the score before Randolph of the Grizzlies came back.

Facts have proved that Lillard is indeed a good player. His dribble on the line is just to cover up his pass. Fries hands.

The latter swayed away from Arthur and made a smart layup. This was his first two points of the night and his only two points, because he was replaced by the coach immediately after the goal.

Gay gave the ball to Dooling on the outside just after passing the center line. After dribbling two times, Doolin chose to make a quick shot, but Matthews, who was caught up, blocked it from behind. Fortunately, the ball hit the Blazers. The player's body is out of the sideline.

The Grizzlies still had the ball, and Gay took the ball again from outside the three-point line. Matthews did not dare to neglect him, sticking to his body tightly, without giving him any space to shoot. It broke through.

But what people didn't expect was that after he dribbled the ball forward twice, he suddenly pulled back and turned around to the front position, taking advantage of Matthews' unsteady footing and making another three-pointer.

Frost and cold fourteen states with one sword! !The goal was scored very simply and aggressively, nothing to say.Rudy Gay can really ask for anything on this field, and nothing can stop him.

The fans at the scene were screaming and shouting. Such a shot was rarely seen in the Grizzlies game. The old-school coach Hollins never allowed his players to shoot in that situation. He always advocated pouring the ball to Weak side, the player in the best position takes the shot.

Matthews stood a little lonely in the middle of the court until Lillard's pass pulled his thoughts back.

"It's okay, keep defending. He should have no energy in a while, and you can sit and play inside." Lillard even comforted the veteran on the court. answer.

In a dead ball opportunity, coach Mike Millan replaced Aldridge and other main players, and the Grizzlies also took advantage of the situation to take Randolph and Bayless.

Bayless, Li Ming, and Du Lin all stayed on the field. It seems that Coach Hollins is very confident in his three-back lineup.

The Blazers' lineup of Matthews, Lillard, Batum, Aldridge, and Hickson doesn't look bad on paper, and they are completely capable of fighting.

The two sides set up a posture and attacked each other for a few rounds. Lillard here took a shot for me, and I asked Randolph to hit you under the basket. Matthews on your side slipped near the free throw line and made a jump shot. Just let Bayless go to the bottom corner to pay you back a three-pointer.Both sides do not lose each other on the scene.

Especially Du Lin, here I want to emphasize that although he did not have as many opportunities to perform on the offensive end as in the first half, his active pick-and-roll and running positions provided Li Ming and Bayless with many open shots, and many scores were equal to He is related.

His performance was also appreciated by coach Hollins on the sidelines. He finally had a look on his face. It seems that Du Lin's playing time will increase significantly after this.
