Chapter 255 Mr. Pi, times have changed!

On December 12, the Kings faced the challenge of the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is Dale Davis, Rasheed Wallace, Scottie Pippen, Bunch Welsh and Derrick Anderson.

The Kings' starting lineup is Divac, Weber, Stojakovic, Lu Yuanzhi and Bibby.

Wales was very excited when he came up. He started to emerge with the Trail Blazers last year, got 31.6 minutes of playing time, and averaged 17 points and 6 rebounds per game.

Playing the Kings is Wales' favorite matchup.

Although Christie, who was marking him, was known as a defensive expert, Christie was not able to restrict his performance very well under Wales' unreasonable offensive method of using strength to get to the basket.

The Kings' weak internal rim protection was also exposed under the impact of Wales.

However, today is not the stage for Wales to perform because he faced Lu Yuanzhi.

"Damn it! Why is this guy who is over 2 meters tall trying to defend me?"

"I'll go, I can't stand it!"

"Damn it! Why is he walking so fast!"

"Let me go, why is he still in the air? This ball is going to be blocked!"

As soon as he came up, Lu Yuanzhi gave Bunch Wales, who was only 196 centimeters tall, a good lesson.

Yes, Wales is considered to be the strongest among attacking defenders, but Lu Yuanzhi has even fought against power forwards and does not take Wales' strength of confrontation into consideration at all.

After losing the best way to get to the basket and score, Wales, which had not yet developed its mid-to-long-range attack power, was completely misfired.

After Lu Yuanzhi found out the details of Wales, he no longer focused too much energy on him.

He's just a little guard who uses his body to get to the basket, so there's nothing to worry about!
Going more inside to help defend will not only put more pressure on the Trail Blazers players, but also prevent Wales' main offensive method.

After the attack point in Wales was frozen by Lu Yuanzhi, the Trail Blazers had to adjust their offensive method.

Rasheed Wallace and Pi Erye frequently fired from mid- to long-range.

Wallace has a good touch and can shoot from the outside, but Weber has little to do with him.

Originally, Webber is not as tall as Wallace, and his wingspan is not as good as Wallace's. In addition, Wallace's straight-arm jump shot is a bit backward. In addition to giving Wallace some lower body resistance, Webber disrupted Wallace's shooting rhythm. There's nothing more I can do.

Although Pi Er Ye is not young, his steps are still nimble, and his passing ability becomes more and more important as he gets older. Stojakovic is tortured and wants to die.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Kings were on full fire at home, scoring 9 points in less than 24 minutes, but the Trail Blazers only managed to hold on to the score with Wallace and Pippen making 7 of 5 shots each.

22:22, the two teams tied.

But once the Kings began to rotate, the Trail Blazers felt something was wrong.

Is this group of rotation players or the main force traveling during off-peak hours?

Why are there so many back and forths with our main lineup?

The five rotations of Cato, Turkoglu, Christie, Jim Jackson and Bobby Jackson who came on the bench can almost be regarded as the starting lineup of some weak teams.

After the Trail Blazers replaced their aging Pippin Pippin, this gap became even more obvious.

Without Pippen's help in organizing, the Trail Blazers quickly fell into a vicious cycle of individual singles.

Davis played after Wallace, and then replaced Randolph after Wallace went off, all hoping to break through Turkoglu, their perceived weakness.

But the Turk was very tough today. With a height of 208 centimeters, he would not be disadvantaged by his height when defending the power forward, and Cato gave him a lot of help in defense at the basket.

Wallace and Randolph twice forced Turkoglu to squeeze into the paint, but were interfered by Cato, who assisted in defense in time, and their close shots missed the basket.

"Nice job!"

Cato's ability to protect the basket on the court made the Kings management and coaching staff very satisfied.Go to hell Randolph, go to the Bulls Twin Towers, go to hell Nesterovich, this kind of proven inside blue-collar meat shield is the most suitable for our Kings team!

After Cato interfered with Randolph's layup, he quickly protected the backcourt rebound. After finding Bobby Jackson and passing the ball out, he also quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

He has not forgotten what the coaching staff asked of him.

After rushing to the front court, he immediately found that there was a wide open space in front of him.

what happened?

Generally, when a team has a fast break, everyone rushes to the basket. The big man who follows up has to break through the layers of blockades if he wants to rush to the basket.

The Kings' fast break is completely different. Turkoglu, Christie and Jim Jackson will consciously pull outside the three-point line after they have no chance to directly hit the basket.

The Kings have used this trick too many times, and every team in the league is very familiar with it. The Trail Blazers defensive players followed suit and defended outside the three-point line. As a result, the inside line was emptied.

When Cato rushed into the almost unguarded interior and received a pass from Bobby Jackson, it was an alley-oop.

"Pretty!"

"That's it!"

"This is the fast break we want to see!"

The Kings' use of court space during the offensive and defensive transition phase far exceeds that of the other 28 teams in the league.

Many teams are also studying the Kings' fast break and want to learn the Kings' fast break. The tactics are very simple and you can know them at a glance, but where can you find so many outside shooters?

Stojakovic, Lu Yuanzhi, Turkoglu, Bibby, Christie, Jim Jackson, Bobby Jackson, one by one, they are all good outside players in the league who can be named.

And Cato, with the help of these three-pointers, got more opportunities to attack the basket.

As long as he rushes to the basket, Cato's pie-eating ability is very strong, and the Trail Blazers can't stop him at all.

Just kidding, do you still need to doubt the ability of Rockets center surnamed Card to eat cake?

You say so, Capella!

When Lu Yuanzhi came on the stage again, it was already 5 minutes after the second quarter, and the Kings were already 10 points ahead of the Trail Blazers.

This 10-point difference was all achieved by the Kings' rotation.

Not only did he beat the Blazers' rotation, but he also withstood the counterattack of the Blazers' main lineup in the first half of the second quarter.

At this time, Lu Yuanzhi and the main lineup appeared again. Facing the physically exhausted Trail Blazers main lineup, they showed no mercy and continued to speed up the pace and play fast offense and defense.

Lu Yuanzhi continued to score points on the offensive end through three-pointers and inside dunks.

When Pippen saw that Wales couldn't guard Lu Yuanzhi, he came to defend himself.

Pi Erye's static talent could indeed kill many players instantly in his era.

But, Mr. Pi Er, times have changed!
Lu Yuanzhi caught the ball and faked a shot, forcing Mr. Pi to move his center of gravity forward. He quickly dropped the ball, took a huge first step, and rushed towards the inside.

Not to be outdone, Pippen quickly adjusted his center of gravity and pressed against Lu Yuanzhi's body. Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi was dribbling the ball very high under the confrontation, he exposed a big flaw and directly stretched out his hand to steal.

Steal?

Lu Yuanzhi quickly made a high ball, avoiding Pippen's steal, and then passed Pippen and rushed directly to the basket.

Dale Davis quickly came over to defend and raised his hands to cover Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't even pay attention to Dale Davis, who couldn't jump. After a physical confrontation with Davis, he slammed the ball into the basket!
Personal dunks!

 252 is in and will not be released within 48 hours.

  After 48 hours, I will try again to see if I can save it!
