The Rest, Only Noise

Latest website: In the second half, the Lakers started with the regular five-man Barros, Liu Yuqing, Wilson, Barkley, and Garnett.

On the Blazers side, it's a bit serious.

(Tyrone) Corbin, Jordan, (Keith) Askins, (Jason) Caffey, Olajuwon.

Rex Chapman and Clifford Robinson can't play, and the depth and strength of the Blazers' lineup can almost be regarded as the worst time in the Jordan era.

In this case, if you want to break the game, you have to maximize the personal abilities of the two superstars inside and outside the line.

Therefore, the three of them paired with Fei Meng have two shooters and an energetic inside sweeper.

The Lakers are sitting on a 19-point lead, and Louie doesn't need to fight as hard as he came, so he will fight with the regular lineup to see if the Blazers really want to "go crazy."

Portland Trail Blazers

Veteran Corbin dribbled the ball across the half.

Corbin, who was born in 1962, is now 35 years old. Looking at him, Louis remembered the time when he started his business in New York.

Corbin is not a member of the Knicks' 85 animal class (1). He was given up by his parent team, the Spurs, after the All-Star weekend in 1986, and Louis picked it up. Like Dell Ellis, he was a member of the 88 Knicks, but after that, he was traded.

Over the years, I have gone through several teams, but I have never met a team that can make things happen. Entering the twilight of his career, he hopes to win a second ring with the Trail Blazers.

Corbin took the ball to the frontcourt, handed it over to Jordan, and stayed at the top of the arc to stretch the space. Jordan on Wilson.

This counterpoint was arranged by Louis.

Although Liu Yuqing is the No. 2 position of the Lakers, his defense has little effect on Jordan. Even Wilson can only interfere with Jordan.

After a few moves between the two, Jordan pulled the ball horizontally and stopped the shot. 59 to 76

Later, the Lakers were about to serve, but found that Jordan, Corbin and Askins actually stayed in the frontcourt.

Their intentions speak for themselves.

Being at home and being a big laggard, the Blazers have the immunity to let go of their hands and feet on the defensive end. Even if there is a foul, as long as it is not too obvious, the referee will ignore it.

Under such conditions, teams capable of pressing their opponents all over the court should take decisive measures.

Ballos is no Rauf, and he's never played on this extreme defense.

Even Stockton, who has been hailed by the Knicks as the number one pure point guard in history, will lose himself under this kind of defense, let alone Baros?

When his body was hit violently, his first reaction was to wait for the referee to blow his whistle.

As a result, the referee was unmoved, and Baros, who had not waited for the penalty, was intercepted by Corbin, and the Blazers scored another goal.

61 to 76

Less than a minute into the second half, Louie was forced to make an adjustment, replacing Baros with Dumas.

Louis didn't believe that Baros would really be helpless under such intensity, but everything had a process of adaptation. Ballos had spent his career playing for mediocre teams, and he didn't have the chance to experience this kind of game.

"Don't worry about it," Louie said to Baros. "Get ready, I'll put you in any moment."

After Dumars played, the effect was immediate.

It's not that the Blazers' high-intensity defense has no effect on him, but because Dumars, who was born in the Eastern Conference and has played for top teams for a long time, has long been used to this kind of game.

In the frontcourt, the Lakers used what has become a signature inside high and low tactics.

The strange thing is that Barkley, who was supposed to be in the low post, was the one who ran to the high post to do things. Do you want to play around Garnett?

Louie murmured in his heart. Judging from the matchup, Barkley was facing Jason Caffey, and Garnett was facing Olajuwon. It was clear at a glance who was better.

However, there are some important things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Even Louie mistook Dumars for launching a stinky tactical opening.

As a result, Barkley did not

He ran to Dumars to get the ball, but made a false block full of Wiseman flavor for Wilson on the wing.

Wilson naturally couldn't get any chances through this cover. But Kafei mistook it for the truth and was left behind by Barkley.

At the same time, Dumars at the top of the arc ruthlessly skimmed Tyrone Corbin's defense.

The titan who was selected to the Knicks' murder pressing team in his youth is no longer what he used to be.

Olajuwon's awareness was amazing, and he prepared in advance for Corbin to be broken, and he happened to be in the vital position, almost destroying the Lakers' offense.

Dumars saw the need and passed the ball from a small angle to Garnett beside him. Garnett then trickily threw the ball to Barkley who just cut inside.

At that moment, Barkley received the ball and roared, riding Olajuwon's body to a powerful slam dunk.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!"

Barkley also yanked the rim hard as he landed.

"You can really see the tactical quality of the Lakers and the origin of Charles Barkley and the Trail Blazers from this shot."

Barkley once believed that Riley was the coach who could change his life. Turns out he was wrong.

Riley wasn't that guy.

Barkley couldn't meet Riley's demands, and Riley was more demanding than Barkley imagined. The disintegration of their relationship was doomed.

However, Barkley now had the opportunity to slap Riley in the face in front of the world. He has a chance to prove who is wrong.

How could he not seize this opportunity?

The Blazers relied on Jordan's personal ability to score another goal, and the point difference returned to 15 points. It's okay, just let me go!

Louie, who was standing in the frontcourt, looked at Barkley's expression full of fighting spirit, and then the Lakers once again played Barkley's inside high and low start moves.

This time, Louis no longer saw the arrangement as bad. Barkley again tried to pick and roll for Wilson.

Caffey thought that Barkley was still a false block this time. No, this time it's real.

Barkley firmly jammed Jordan's body, and then stepped back toward the three-point line.

Just when his body retreated beyond the three-point line, he made a catch motion with his hands, just like Yingmu Huadao was fully prepared for the shot before he killed the king of the mountain.

Benj is well aware of what the Blazers series meant to Barkley.

Now, the Lakers hold a 15-point lead, and the Blazers' desperate counterattack is about to begin. No one wants to weld the coffin of the Portlanders to death more than Barkley.

He can perform poorly in the remaining games of this season~www.readwn.com~ Only this one, he must become the best one, and he will wipe out the hope of the Blazers with his own hands.

With a public heart to support his friend, Wilson used a back pass to pass the ball to Barkley on the outside when Jordan was thrown off and the Blazers' defense was in chaos.

Barkley, whose career three-point shooting rate is only in the early 30%, made three-pointers decisively. "Shua!"

The point difference returned to 18 points.

Barkley looked back at Riley viciously behind him, wanted to say something, but said nothing. He didn't want to be naive about declaring victory with more than half time left in the game.

Because he did such a stupid thing in the 1993 finals, and the whole world knew it, and everyone laughed at him.

He has the heart to win, but he won't do it again. That's after the win.

(1) Louis selected Ewing, Oakley, () Green, Ball, (Gerald) Wilkins, (Spot) Webber, and Song Tao in the 1985 draft. The Knicks' draft is known as the Animal Team.
