Chapter 150 Fight to the death(2/2)
It is simply unrealistic not to expect him to be as good as Wang Zelin and Lillard in the future; as long as he can become a fixed member of the Blazers' rotation in the next few years, that will be enough.
After all, it's a rookie bonus. If Will Barton can really play well, it will be enough for the Trail Blazers for another three years.
Except for Lillard, the other four members of this lineup are all strong men over two meters tall. The average height per person is more than 203. They focus on positional combat and defensive counterattacks.
After all, under the subtle influence of Wang Zelin, Will Barton embarked on the path of a mountain player in the future. Among the five players on the court, Lillard was the worst defensive player.
For the Nuggets, Iguodala and Orc Faried in the main lineup continue to play, and the other three are Andre Miller, Kerry Brewer and JaVale McGee.
Lillard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Andre Miller, the assist king in 2001, who was half a head shorter than himself and nearing the end of his career.
As long as it’s not that wild bull like Ty Lawson!
The official timeout ends, the game continues, and the Nuggets serve from the backcourt.
Andre Maitreya received the serve and quickly advanced outside the three-point line. Lillard spread his hands to create a step of space.
Andre Miller is not only dedicated to playing on the court, but his off-court life is also extremely regular, with almost no scandals.
Until now, he still maintains the historical record of consecutive appearances among active players.
For such a veteran, Lillard has high respect in his heart, so he knows the characteristics of the other person very well.
The advantages are low-post offense, flexible feet, and excellent organizational skills. After all, he is the man who won the assists title in the regular season.
The disadvantages are slow pace and lack of stable outside shooting range; the defensive end mainly relies on experience.
Andre Miller was holding the ball while observing the movement of his teammates. When he realized that there was no chance, he made a gesture and called for a cover to break through.
But unfortunately, his pull-up jump shot was interfered with by Lillard in time and failed to hit.
Turning around, the Blazers' offense also failed. Both sides defended very fiercely, and the fierce physical confrontation has been carried out from the beginning to this day.
Fans once again saw the difference between the playoffs and the regular season!
"The defenses of both teams are refusing to give in to each other. It seems that tonight will be a low-scoring defensive battle!" Up to now, the game has lost its hair, and Zhang Lili has confirmed his judgment.
His analysis is correct, defense in the playoffs is very important.
Every championship-level team, even the Golden State Warriors, which will focus on offense in the future, has a very strong defense in the league.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! People can't just remember the Warriors' terrible three-pointers and superb offense. The Warriors' defense is not weak at all.
The game continued, but the fans on the sidelines and the viewers in front of the TV felt like their days were like a year.
It's really ugly.
No one expected that the two teams known for their offense during the regular season would adopt a defensive game strategy tonight.
Especially the Trail Blazers, their playing style has completely changed 180 degrees, they are even more grizzly than the Grizzlies!
At 2 minutes and 09 seconds of the second quarter, the two teams finally broke the long-lasting scoring drought.
Lillard missed the mid-range shot due to interference from Iguodala, but Wang Zelin got the offensive rebound again, otherwise he succeeded.
Not easy!
"Fake!" George Karl cursed again. If this continues, how can he chase points? He might as well surrender.
At this moment, Andre Miller had just assisted Fared for an alley-oop layup, but was passed by Lillard before he could return to half court!
Passing Andre Miller, Lillard drove straight in, and Iguodala returned to the basket to help defend.
But Lillard showed no fear and didn't even slow down. He rushed straight towards Iguodala like an out-of-control locomotive.
"Are all this year's rookies so stubborn?"
Seeing Lillard getting closer and closer, Iguodala swallowed and stretched out his hands to interfere.
But the next second.
"Bang!"
Lillard and Iguodala collided solidly, and both fell out of the baseline.
The strong Iguodala didn't think anything of it. When he looked up, hanging on the basket was the Trail Blazers' No. 36.
"Tit for tat! It's the same alley-oop, but the Trail Blazers' way is more wild and uninhibited!"
Let’s enjoy the King’s frame-exploding performance again!”
Zhang Lili seized the opportunity and kept preaching.
After playing the game for so long, there are finally one or two exciting shots.
Chapter completed!
