"Paul took the ball to the frontcourt and wanted to turn over Kobe's card, but Matthews didn't have the chance. He pressed and circled forward to cling to Kobe.
Paul turned over Gasol's card, and then continued to cut inside, using Gasol's screen to block Lillard's pursuit.
Oh, Lillard didn't look like a rookie at all. He actually came around quickly and followed Paul's tail. At the same time, he suddenly flanked Gasol with JJ Hickson.
The basketball was transferred to Su Bei's hands on the outside and quickly swung to the left..."
That damn basketball finally fell into Kobe's hands.
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left, Kobe held the ball with his back. While Matthews was holding the ball against his waist, he kept chasing the basketball to interfere, keeping his right hand in front of the basketball.
Although Kobe kept shaking and changing positions, Matthews showed his cunning side and spared no effort to fight with Kobe.
Kobe attacked facing the basket and was frozen by Matthews' death coil.
Bang——!
"Kobe Bryant arched his back and swayed left and right. He was pushed away by Matthews's pressing press, and he immediately hit him with his back.
Oops, Aldridge let Jordan Hill go and pounced on Kobe resolutely.
Kobe lifted the ball to avoid Aldridge, immediately turned around with a shoulder shake, raised his hand and shot a fadeaway jumper..."
As an undrafted player in 2009, Matthews has mediocre physical talent. Even if he is strong and has a tough style of play, he can only hear the sound of a gunshot when Kobe Bryant's picturesque fade away.
Bang-dang——!
"Defended!!
Kobe forced his back and missed the ball.
In the scramble for rebounds, JJ Hickson protected the rebound strongly and immediately distributed the ball to Batum who was responding.
Su Bei counterattacked on the spot, but Batum quickly transferred to Aldridge, and like a hit-the-wall coordination, passed Su Bei and received the basketball again.
Matthews and Lillard both rushed through half court.
Batum quickly sent the basketball to the frontcourt, and Lillard got the basketball, forming a two-on-one frontcourt. Paul retreated into the penalty area and suddenly pounced on Lillard, intending to steal the basketball.
With a beautiful back-up dribble, Lillard avoided Paul and headed towards the penalty area, leaving only the basket in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
Avoiding the steal from Paul, the leading steal, he dribbled to the penalty area with his back, jumped up, and made a single dunk, slamming the basketball into the basket.
Lillard scored his first two points in his NBA debut.
2 to 4! !
After scoring, Lillard retreated calmly, but the home fans gave him a tsunami of applause and cheers, seemingly welcoming Lillard to the NBA.
Paul became Lillard's backup plan.
Looking back, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, but had no intention of regaining the court. Instead, he sent the damn basketball into Kobe's hands.
“It’s Matthews’ death coil again!
This time, Kobe played very calmly, holding the ball facing the basket, taking a brief step, ignoring Matthews' reaction, and immediately dribbled the ball inside.
When Matthews slid to catch up, he turned around and arched his back, then quickly completed the turn and continued to break through. Matthews fought and retreated, trying to continue to block Kobe. Unexpectedly, Kobe suddenly pulled out , raising his hand was a pull-up jump shot..."
The whole action was clean and smooth. Matthews' defense was not inactive, and his defensive skills were not in place. But when he met the serious Kobe, he could only continue to bet that Kobe's pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
Wrong guess, there are bullets in Kobe's pistol.
There was no three-iron move to send that damn basketball into the basket.
“Yes!!
The ball was defended brilliantly and the goal scored brilliantly!
This is Kobe!
You can't expect Kobe to miss consecutive shots under the same defensive tactics! That’s unscientific…”
4 to 4! !
On the offensive, Northern Jiangsu continued to make soy sauce.
Batum cut off Su Bei's receiving route and remained inseparable. He focused his all-around style and energy on defense, but Su Bei could not do anything.
After all, other positions seem to be more advantageous to attack. It is not a good choice for Su Bei to take the ball and challenge Batum one-on-one.
Su Bei was not anxious when Kobe was "angry" and focused its defensive energy on defense.
Batum, who is easy to teach and is also a senior role player, understands that this is professionalism!
This is how role players play.
Since he, Su Bei, doesn't understand offense, then Batum doesn't understand either.
bring it on!
Let’s hurt each other!
On the court, the Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard controlled the ball to the frontcourt, did not get the first ball in his debut and floated up, and continued to lob the ball to Aldridge in the low post.
Batum was smoking while smoking. He had no intention of catching the ball and attacking, and started to spend time with Su Bei.
With Batum's style, anyone else would probably be in a hurry.
Su Bei also followed Batum closely like salted fish, and then watched Aldridge's performance.
Swish——!
“It went in, a very nice jump shot!
Aldridge pulled it out directly in front of Gasol, which is his specialty.
It’s not surprising that Gasol can’t be guarded..."
In the first two seasons, Aldridge has posted a performance of close to 21+9 for two consecutive years, which is close to the peak of unlimited career. His mid-range shots have a hit rate of 51%, and he is 50-50. It looks ordinary, but it is also. Very deadly.
4 to 6! !
Off the court, Terry Stotts was very satisfied with the Blazers' offensive performance at the start.
Teamwork, counterattacks, fast breaks, and star duels were all accomplished one by one.
The offensive firepower overwhelms the Lakers' F4, what else do you want from him?
On the other side, Mike Brown has a huge headache and this is not the defense he wants.
As for the offense, he hasn't panicked yet!
When the Trail Blazers and Lakers fight for offense, in addition to toughness, what's the durability?
To beat the Lakers, both are indispensable.
On the court, the Lakers attack.
Kobe did not continue to play, Paul continued to pass the ball to Gasol.
"here we go again!
The auxiliary triangle attack of the Lakers' triangle offense strategy.
Well, this time, after Paul passed the ball to Gasol, he did not choose to cut in, but chose to cut outside. He and Su Bei changed positions and sent Lillard, the rookie, in front of Su Bei.
Oh, Paul didn't cut inside, so Su Bei did it instead.
Alas, the Trail Blazers seemed to have responded. Batum let go of his defense on Paul from outside the three-point line, and immediately shrank back to flank Su Bei.
Su Bei caught the basketball without any waves, pushed it with both hands, and pushed the damn basketball to the right three-point corner.
Paul caught the basketball, lifted it up, and shot a three-point jumper... No, he took a glance, Paul took two steps in with the ball, then lifted the ball, jumped up, raised his hand, and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper... "
Lillard quickly changed defense and returned. The speed was not unpleasant, but it was of no use. He could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
Paul shot very calmly. He did not gamble on the three-pointers that he was not good at, but steadily took the two points that he was good at.
With Paul's mid-range shooting ability, he can kill the game.
The Trail Blazers' defense is very thoughtful, but it's a pity that the Lakers' lineup is too cheating. Except for Jordan Hill, everyone else on the court is very capable..."
6 to 6! !
When returning to defense, Su Bei and Paul high-fived in celebration.
"Sorry, I didn't shoot a three-pointer!"
“It’s okay, it’s just one less assist.
I am a role player, not a point guard, so what do I want to do with assists? "
"..."
At the beginning of the game, there was no data on Subei's scoring account or even on the offensive account. If there was any data, it would all be at zero.
The Trail Blazers would rather let Paul take action than give Su Bei a chance to take action, which also made Su Bei realize that it was impossible for his opponent to treat him as a dispensable role player again.
The offense was targeted by the defense!
Su Bei was not in a hurry and continued to work hard on defense.
In the Trail Blazers' offensive round, Batum also couldn't get an offensive opportunity and was bitten by Subei's defense.
Bang-dang——!
Matthews received Aldridge's pass and failed to find a chance for a three-pointer. He hit Kobe with his back and missed the ball with a backward shot.
"Aldridge got the rebound, turned around, faced Gasol's block, and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper, and... no, the basketball was halfway in, but it still jumped out.
God was not on the side of the Trail Blazers. Su Bei rushed to the basket, grabbed the rebound, and immediately rushed up with the ball to counterattack.
Oops, Batum was pressing on the spot, but Su Bei changed his direction and was about to pass him. He immediately interrupted the Lakers' counterattack with a foul..."
The ball rights still belong to the Lakers.
Su Bei served the ball from the sideline. Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, played music, and then distributed the ball to Gasol who was pulled up to the high post. Then, he picked up what he had just done.
"Paul chose the outside line again and changed positions with Su Bei.
This is the name of the rookie Lillard!
Moreover, in this game, the Trail Blazers obviously used strict defense to limit Su Bei's gun.
Paul was not used to them, he played directly and tough, and continued to send Lillard in front of Su Bei to see how the Trail Blazers broke..."
How else can it be broken?
Su Bei received Gasol's pass, and Lillard immediately bullied him and rushed over. He imitated Matthews and kept putting his hands in front of the basketball to interfere.
Bang——!
Su Bei turned away from Lillard, then turned around and dribbled through, entering the three-point line. Lillard fought and retreated, sliding to follow, but saw Su Bei stop suddenly and dribble, and then stepped back. Withdraw to the outside of the three-point line, then lift the ball and prepare to shoot a three-pointer.
"Lillard dives out quickly!
This rookie is very positive!
Alas, Su Bei lifted up the basketball and put it away. When Lillard couldn't stop the car and rushed over, he immediately raised the ball to meet him.
Sure enough, Su Bei is so ungrateful that he actually wants to touch newcomer Lillard..."
Don't come over here!
No, I don’t want to go there!
Lillard, who couldn't stop the car, realized what Su Bei had done and immediately made a final struggle, raising his hands as if lying down.
Bang——!
The bodies of Su Bei and Lillard collided. Lillard tried to hide and retract. After the collision, Su Bei jumped into the air. His body was still balanced and he threw the basketball in his hand...
Lillard raised his hands and turned toward the basket, his face a little flustered, and he had a bad idea.
I saw the basketball drawing a beautiful arc in the air and falling into the basket accurately.
Swish——!
“Oh, it’s embarrassing!!
Su Bei not only wants to play porcelain, but also goes for 3+1.
Lillard was too young and was taught a lesson by Su Bei who was lying on the floor and clenching his fists in celebration.
This is a 3-pointer andone! !
The gift to welcome Lillard to the NBA is too grand, and Su Bei, who was targeted by the Trail Blazers' strict defense, is also a ruthless person..."
Swish——!
After being pulled up by Kobe and Paul, Su Bei stood on the free throw line, and despite the boos of the home fans, he steadily hit the extra penalty and made it a 4-pointer.
10 to 6! !
Batum spread his hands, showing that it had nothing to do with him.
Off the court, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts had a bitter look on his face.
His defensive tactics are correct.
It's just a pity that we still can't guard against Su Bei!
With the Trail Blazers' lineup, there is really no way to defeat the Lakers' F4 offense!
