The two commentators in the commentary box also opened their mouths in surprise when they saw this scene.
Kenny Smith looked at this scene and couldn't help but praise.
"As expected of Lu, his feints and breakthroughs made Aldridge dizzy. He is indeed known as an all-round warrior. Aldridge should pay attention to the next game."
Barkley on the side was even more arrogant.
"If Aldridge continues like this, he will be beaten to pieces by Lu sooner or later. After all, as long as Lu scores the first goal over others, he can score the second and third goals over others..."
Kenny Smith felt that Buckley's tone was a bit rampant, but he nodded in agreement with Buckley's point of view.
Because Lu Yao's personal ability can make fans who have watched his games boast.
Looking back to the court, after Lu Yao turned back and dunked and scored the first goal of the game, the Trail Blazers did not feel discouraged, but instead made intensive offensive transitions.
Lee guided Lillard to receive the pass from Aldridge on the baseline and advance steadily towards the frontcourt with the ball.
At this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Lu Yao, who was originally supposed to be placed on the inside, now appears on the outside, while Aldridge on the inside is left to Westbrook to deal with.
This scene really confused the Thunder fans present.
Although Lu Yao's outside defensive ability is excellent, Lu Yao's current position is that of a center. A center does not stay on the inside and leads the defense on the outside.
Aldridge was also a little speechless. The Thunder actually replaced Westbrook as a point guard to defend. Isn't he looking down on himself a little too much?
Although Lillard on the outside faced Lu Yao's defense and faced huge offensive pressure, he did not feel panic.
Even if he can't break through Lu Yao's defense, he can still pass the ball to Aldridge.
Facing Westbrook's defense, Aldridge's inside attack was very easy.
Therefore, this is why everyone is puzzled by Thunder's move.
Now without Lu Yao, the Thunder's insiders can wreak havoc on Aldridge. The Thunder still want to transfer Lu Yao out.
Is it possible that the Thunder want to end their 13-game winning streak?
But everyone in Lei Lei still chose to believe Lu Yao.
Because this move was also proposed by Lu Yao himself. The offensive end is on the inside and the defensive end is on the outside. This is really strange for a player at the center position.
But Lu Yao chose to do this, because at this moment, he had a weapon that could change everything.
That is the gold medal talent obtained by completing the task before - the iron wall.
Last night, Lu Yao once again learned about the effect of the copper wall and iron wall, and was surprised to find that the actual effect of the copper wall and iron wall was stronger than what he had seen.
The bonus of the iron wall is not only on the inside, but also on the outside defense. The iron wall can also play a bonus role.
Lu Yao finally understood why this talent was a gold medal talent.
This talent adds to defense, regardless of inside or outside, and the bonus value is large.
Lu Yao had not discovered this feature before, but when he discovered it, he had already figured out thousands of ways to use it.
And now, this is what Lu Yao does.
The physical talent of the center, coupled with the perimeter defense of a top-notch defender, can only imagine the interference it brings to offensive players.
Lillard constantly changes direction in front of his body, presses forward, and maintains the dual threat of shooting and breakthrough.
Faced with the double threat from Lillard, Lu Yao suddenly stepped forward to press Lillard while constantly trying to steal.
Lillard was shocked. Lu Yao's move was so sudden that Lillard couldn't react for a moment, and the ball in his hand was almost cut off by Lu Yao.
Fortunately, at the moment when Lu Yao's hand was about to touch the ball, Lillard retreated in time, thus preventing the consequences of being intercepted by Lu Yao.
The series of chain reactions of being intercepted are something the Blazers can't afford.
Before Lillard could recover, Lu Yao started the next round of pressing defense.
Logically speaking, if a big man like Lu Yao presses an outside player like Lillard with first-class offensive ability, Lillard should be able to solve it easily.
As long as you use the cross step to block the position, you can easily get past it by breaking through directly.
However, Lillard tried to break through without any choice, but every move seemed to be understood by Lu Yao, and almost all offensive routes were blocked by Lu Yao.
Lillard looked up and saw that there were only six seconds left in the attack time, and he had to pass the ball! After the ball was combined, Lillard passed the ball directly towards Aldridge inside.
At this moment, Aldridge pushed past Westbrook, received the ball directly, and without any accident scored a goal to tie the score.
But the moment Lillard passed the ball, it was directly intercepted by a big hand.
Lu Yao has the attributes of an iron wall, and his steal attributes have been greatly improved. What's more, Lillard's position was held by Lu Yao just now, which greatly increases Lu Yao's chance of stealing.
Before the Blazers players could react, Lu Yao took the ball and sprinted towards the frontcourt!
The Trail Blazers players behind them reacted and started to catch up in the direction of the frontcourt, but Lu Yao had already distanced himself from them, and the Trail Blazers' previous stagnation caused them to lose the opportunity to intercept.
Lu Yao rushed all the way to the bottom of the basket, and the basket now became Lu Yao's possession. He jumped high, dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!
In less than a minute, the Thunder already led by 4 points and established an initial lead.
There is no doubt that this steal was extremely demoralizing for the Trail Blazers.
And Lillard seemed to have lost his mind after being intercepted.
This tactic, which was not favored by others, turned out to be miraculous.
Lillard's offense became more anxious, which also caused Lillard to make frequent mistakes. Lu Yao repeatedly seized opportunities, and the Blazers' offense stalled.
Because Aldridge on the inside could not receive the response from Lillard on the outside, the offense inside also became difficult.
What's more, Westbrook's performance in the interior is not at all like what people thought, and he will be crushed by Aldridge.
Westbrook used his flexibility to intercept the ball in advance before Aldridge received the ball.
In four minutes, the Thunder already led by eight points, and Trail Blazers coach Stotts immediately called a timeout.
As a coach who has watched Lillard grow up with his own eyes, he can completely see that the current Lillard is in urgent need of adjustment, and even the entire Blazers need adjustment.
This pause is very necessary!
