The Cruelty of the NBA

Chapter 84: , We haven't lost yet.

  After the start of the second quarter.

  The Lakers began to play more and more smoothly, the Trail Blazers struggled to cope.

  No matter how the lineup and tactics change, in the end, it is up to the players to perform.

   The talents of the Trail Blazers are far from the Lakers.

   As the game time passes, their defects will be magnified infinitely.

   Xue Ding felt the oppression of this top defense for the first time.

   This is a situation that Xue Ding hasn't encountered. For the first time in his career, he has experienced that opponent's very strong feeling, and his struggle seems unable to stop it.

  Roy has no way to solve the plight of the current pioneers.

   Slowly, the Lakers' inner line began to bounce with the Lakers' outer line.

  Kobe Bryant and Fisher successively hit long-range shots.

   And the Trail Blazers players are caught in the iron ring.

   Xue Ding started to fight more and more anxiously, then the more impatient the mentality, the easier to make mistakes and many mistakes.

  Roy and Ade sporadic singles helped the Blazers score.

   Throughout the second quarter, the situation of the two teams was instantly reversed.

  The Lakers scored 33 to 19 in a single quarter.

   End of the first half, the score is 47 to 57.

  The Trail Blazers trailed the defending champion by 10 points away.

   Halftime data:

   Trail Blazers: Xue Ding 12 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 6 turnovers, Purbizla 2 points and 2 rebounds, Aldridge 8 points and 3 rebounds, Roy 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

   Lakers: Gasol 13 points and 4 rebounds, Artest 6 points, Bynum 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, Kobe Bryant 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Odom 6 points and 3 rebounds.

   "The Blazers' winning streak like this will be ended by the Lakers."

   "The Blazers played at the beginning of the first half, but it was completely impossible in the second quarter."

   "Miss Oden, today the Trail Blazers were exploded inside. The Lakers had few three-pointers. Many of them hit the inside. They either made free throws or scored."

   "Yeah, Ade has already committed four crimes, and Roy was cut off by the Lakers."

   "Xue Ding's mistakes are really spicy eyes, these mistakes hurt morale."

   "Halftime 10+10, if it is inside, the cliff is tens of millions of annual salary level, unfortunately, this is Xue Ding's data, we are used to it."

   The fans also analyzed Xue Ding's situation.

  Xue Ding made 20 shots at halftime, creating a career high, but only hit 5 goals, and the shooting rate was only 25%.

   McMillan looked at Xue Ding who was gasping for breath, somewhat helpless.

  Xu Ding's mistakes in the first half came from his bold pass.

  Xue Ding's passing is not too much of a problem. They are all breaks after attracting defense. Although the pass is good, the rhythm of teammates and him is obviously not in the same frequency. Plus his luck, there are naturally more mistakes.

  As for the shooting percentage, everyone only saw the number of shots by Xue Ding, but did not see that he almost grabbed his offensive rebounds. During the first half, Xue Ding had 7 offensive rebounds.

   Fans may not understand, but the Blazers all know the role of Xue Ding on the field! !

   At least there is this guy Xue Ding, everyone can save a lot of worries about their shots.

   Xue Ding's rebounding ability is very reliable.

  Sitting on the stool in the dressing room, Xue Ding continued to bite the banana while drinking Gatorade.

   back to back has a great influence on him.

  The Blazers and Lakers in the previous life are not the same level team.

  The Lakers' strength is far from being comparable to the current lineup of Blazers.

   If the full lineup of Trail Blazers, you can open five or five.

   But now that so many people are missing, this opponent is still very tricky.

  Roy's closet was next to Xue Ding. He looked at Xue Ding's silence and came over.

   "Xue, do you feel the pressure?"

   Xue Ding looked up at Roy. Roy played normally in the first half, but he was not as impatient as he was.

   "Well, kind of."

   "The Lakers are very strong, and their inside are also very strong. Find a way to deal with them. There is still 24 minutes to play. We have enough time.

"Yep."

  Roy didn't say much about chicken soup that encourages brain damage, but Xue Ding knew what he meant.

  Roy the boss is very heart-warming and takes care of Xue Ding a lot.

   Xue Ding also believes that as long as the game is not over, everything can happen on the court.

   The two are very similar.

   Dressing room.

   10 points behind the defending champion on the road, enough to make McMillan feel that his layout in the second quarter was a failure.

  The morale of the Trail Blazers players is a bit low.

  Looking at this scene, McMillan is also quite helpless.

   back to back, the main injury stop, behind halftime, suppressed momentum.

  Looking at the second half, it looks like the defeat has been set.

   McMillan said to Roy: "Brandon, you go to change the game in the second half, Xue, you rest first in the second half, Steve goes first."

   "En." Roy nodded.

  The Blazers are going to use their final cards.

   Superstar singles are unreasonable.

  Xue Ding was still a little unwilling to hear the coach's arrangement.

  Although he wanted to say something more, but hesitated, he didn't say anything. The second half is the best explanation.

   Even though Xue Ding has more reasons.

   In the second quarter, the shooting rate was too low and too many turnovers had a huge impact on the team.

   McMillan didn't give Xue Ding a chance, but Xue Ding didn't grasp it.

   At this time, McMillan chose to believe Roy first.

  He is going to find the line-up of last season first, to see if he can get back.

   Compared to Xue Ding's inefficiency, Roy's performance is much more efficient.

   Then the point guard sent Steve Blake, a traditional type of point guard, to prevent Roy's end from following the ball.

  Roy's efficiency in the first half was normal.

   7 of 10 shots, shot twice less than Xue Ding, but scored more than Xue Ding. .

   It is undeniable that Xue Ding's existence and a lot of shots seriously hindered Roy's play.

   looked at the morale is very low.

  Roy also stood up in time and applauded.

With a very firm and powerful voice, he said: "Guys, the game is not over yet, all cheer me up, think about it, it will be great to see us doing the Lakers headlines here from the Internet tomorrow! !!!"

   "Leave it to me, Aldridge, Xue in the second half, we are going to attack like crazy."

   Everyone looked at Roy.

  No matter how many people fall, as long as Roy is still there, the Blazers have the hope of winning.

   In the past, Roy has proved it many times.

   "OK."

  Roy's confidence infected the players, and everyone started to come out of this dull atmosphere.

   Xue Ding also nodded solemnly and also said:

   "The first half is my problem. I will play more carefully in the second half to ensure that we continue to win."

  Xue Ding said that this pot was his back.

   Such a difficult situation was not encountered by Xue Ding~lightnovelpub.net~ Roy experienced a lot, and he knew what to do at this time.

   Xue Ding also learned from Roy how to lead a team.

   Hearing Xue Ding's words, the teammates were a little bit resentful, but they were also forgiving.

   After all, this kid is a rookie.

  McMillan's talent is not particularly outstanding, but it is very good for the players. He allowed Roy to take over his coaching function to a certain extent.

  The confidence of Roy and Xue Ding can really drive many people.

  …………

   The intermission is very long.

  After Roy finished speaking, he broke up again in twos and threes.

   But the atmosphere at this time was slightly better, and everyone started to laugh.

   Xue Ding did not stay in the locker room for long, but came out directly.

   He returned to his bench first!

  Xue Ding is thinking about his plan for the second half.

  In the second half, although Xue Ding was first placed on the bench by the coach, he will definitely be on the bench.

  Xue Ding really choked on the starting of the Shanghu people, because his opponent studied Xue Ding very carefully.

   Even when Xue Ding passed the ball, it was clear which one was the dominant hand.

   This made Xue Ding feel very depressed.

  McMillan means let Xue Ding take the second team.

  After all, Xue Ding is just a rookie. Under the special care of the championship team, it is really difficult to play well.

   It's not so hard to fight with the substitutes.

After a while, Xue Ding decided to attack with the second lineup as a breakthrough.

  As long as he plays first, then the Lakers will not be able to stop it.

   Xue Ding needs to raise the state first! ! !

   His feel is too bad.
