Chapter 709 (1/2)
At the beginning of the game, link let Lillard and Aldrich know what is pressure.
Lillard's first goal experienced Conley's tenacious defense, while Aldrich experienced link's incredible attack.
After witnessing link's terrible scoring ability, Aldrich could not help but look up at the dome of the FedEx stadium and the new championship flag.
From the beginning of last season to now, there have been countless teams in this place to lose. Only a very small number of teams can retreat from this wooden floor. Aldrich had been curious about the secret of the Grizzlies' continued success, and now he seems to have found the answer.
Aldrich immediately felt the pressure, although it was only a goal, but that goal has made him realize the difficulty of winning in the Federal Express stadium.
When the Blazers attack again, the Grizzlies' defense is fully formed. Aldrich this time did not go to cover for his teammates, but sat in the interior position.
At the same time, the rest of the team pulled open to give Aldrich space for singles.
Aldrich low single, this is the Blazers the simplest, but also the most efficient tactics! By link scored a magic goal, Aldrich is also eager to quickly return with color.
When the hand is hot, Aldrich with his turn over jump shot, easy to score consecutive points. He is confident about his low post singles.
Lillard's goal was lifted into the penalty area and sent to Aldrich. Randolph held Aldrich by the waist and held him back. But Aldrich doesn't care. His back to body singles doesn't rely on pushing in.
Aldrich gets the basketball, feels the defense with his back and gets ready to attack!
At this time, link actively wrapped up, not to let Aldrich turn around the frame!
Aldrich didn't expect link to make up defense so quickly. He began to look for Batum's position and prepare to pass the ball.
Aldrich is a player who is extremely strict with the choice of the shot. If the receiving position does not meet the psychological expectation or meets the strong defense that makes him uncertain, Aldrich will definitely not take the shot.
The advantages and disadvantages of his play are obvious.
The advantage is naturally high efficiency, you rarely see Aldrich hit too low.
But the disadvantage is that at some critical moments, the Blazers can't score. A team's superstar, often in the critical moment must hit some unreasonable ball, in order to help the team in the anxious state to obtain the advantage.
But Aldrich is not good enough in this respect. He is too rational. Sometimes a round passed to him several times in a row, he would give up the shot for various reasons.
For this problem, stotz is also quite a headache. Therefore, many of the key goals of the Blazers are actually handed over to Lillard, the second grade.
Now, in the face of such a tight package, with Aldrich's character, he certainly won't make a move.
Finally, Aldrich saw Batum on the right outside the three-point line.
But as soon as he passed the ball, link came back. Link's speed is very fast, in the defensive end, link has never saved physical strength.
When Batum received the basketball, link also arrived in front of ”French Pippen” again.
Link's package is just right, neither let Aldrich easy singles, nor let Batum get any chance!
The Blazers didn't even play the simplest tactics, which made them a little flustered.
In the last game against the warriors, the pioneers played with ease, taking everything from the warriors.
Today suddenly encountered such a tight defense, the Blazers are not used to it for a while.
There is no way, Batum can only let the basketball continue to conduct. The Blazers played for 22 seconds and didn't pull the gap.
In desperation, Wesley Matthews chose to force. But igordala's interference made Matthews' shot deviate from the target.
The Blazers missed the second attack in a row!
”No, where's the Blazers' powerful firepower?” Mike brin was a little surprised. Today's Blazers are far from the team that slaughtered warriors at Oracle two days ago.
Old Hubie next to brin smiles. It's not that the Blazers' offensive firepower is getting weaker. It's the Grizzlies' defense, which is stronger than all the teams the Blazers have met before!
Wesley Matthews put the Blazers into a passive situation again, Conley stood outside the three-point line waiting for his teammates to land.
Terry stoats holds his chin, and he doesn't believe the Grizzlies can hit a 360 degree air layup every round.
This time, link chose to hand over Conley. Lillard did not hesitate, in Conley and link hand over the moment directly change defense!
Although Lillard's height is less than 1.9 meters, the height gap between Lillard and link is quite wide. But even so, Lillard was not afraid. All he knew was, never give link any space!After changing defense, Lillard is ready to steal! Generally, the catcher's attention will not be too focused at the moment when the pass is just completed.
Lillard thought he was going to have a steal, but just as his hand was about to touch the basketball, link shook his wrist and sent the ball back to the ground.
This time, link's passing target is no one else, it's Conley who cuts right after the hand over!
Conley battum is a small hit big dislocation, Batum want to keep up with Conley's speed is a very difficult thing.
Seeing Conley break through on the left, Robin Lopez quickly returns to the basket! As long as Conley layup, he will try to stop it!
He is not as gentle as Aldrich and his brother Brooke. Robin is not willing to let Conley score easily even if he fouls!
Suddenly, he changed the basket to the side of the basket, and then he took off.
Lopez and Batum were all in the air. They didn't expect Conley to make a left-handed layup!
Conley is a famous left-handed player, which is well known. But in the game, in the twinkling of an eye, players sometimes have to rely on instinct to act, because there is no time to think. And most people's instinct is to seal the other side's right hand.
The basketball finally scraped the backboard and refracted into the net, while Lopez and Batum looked at each other.
