My name is Rick Adelman.

Until this round of series with the Lakers, I was still worried about how to twist the Trail Blazers stars together.

I thought about it countless times in my mind with all my heart.

Because I know that if I can't unite the stars in the Trail Blazers, we will never be able to beat this Lakers.

However......

Although I have talked to Kevin, Vince, Paul, and Chris in private many times recently...

But the result after each conversation...

But it made me feel physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, I couldn't help but think of the happy time when I led them to the finals last year.

That is my lost youth, and the glorious years of running in the sunset with this Trail Blazers team.

Trail Blazer, what's wrong with you?

Why......

Why did you become what you are now in just a few months?

Well......

All right!

Staples Center.

Adelman never expected that in the end, these Trail Blazers stars were united.

only......

What is a bit different from what Adelman thinks is that when these stars are united...

On the evening of the 3rd, he had become a tool person who was responsible for giving cannon guidance and handing over tactical boards.

And Staples scene...

After the Lakers played the championship in the previous series with the Grizzlies, the Lakers, who thought they were waiting for their time, would easily solve the Lakers' Lakers as experts predicted...

I never expected it...

Their "My Lake Championship" that they held in the whole night was really unable to shout out for a whole night.

So...

It's ridiculous to call this Trail Blazers winning the Lakers "Up".

On the 3rd, in the first leg of the Western Conference semi-finals against the Lakers, the Trail Blazers "up" defeated the Lakers away 117-109.

In the whole game, Paul and Carter scored 19 points, 9 assists, 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists respectively.

In addition, Garnett also scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Bathir, who unexpectedly appeared in the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers that night, scored five three-pointers for the team, and made two successful positions in the final quarter, creating the fifth and sixth personal fouls in Marion in this game.

In this game, Su Feng and Kobe's touch was not ideal.

The former made 11 of 23 shots, including free throws and three-pointers, only scored 37 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists for the Lakers.

The latter made 5 of 19 shots and barely scored 21 points with free throws.

By changing the formation, the Trail Blazers effectively limit the Lakers' offensive and defensive rhythm on the field.

Although Garnett was still about ten kilograms lighter than Xiao Jia after gaining weight, relying on his outstanding experience and control of position, Xiao Jia did not do anything to him at a low position.

And when I come back, Xiaojia, who usually likes to fly other people's kites on the outside...

He was still shown off by this iron-blooded wolf king.

Pierce didn't score much in this game.

But with the help of teammates...

However, he greatly increased the cost of Su Feng's attack every time he took action on the field.

I have to say that after joining forces with BAN to lose the head coach, this Trail Blazers have found their most correct way to open it.

Since Garnett and Battier are both good at assisting defense.

So on the evening of the 3rd, the Trail Blazers, who were using mixed defense throughout the game, not only successfully defended their penalty area, but even on the field. When the Lakers broke their joint defense according to the traditional way of breaking the joint defense, they could always resolve the Lakers' offense as soon as possible.

At the critical moment, Coach Lu and Van Gundy had thought of directly using the strongest form of the Lakers - Su Ke took turns to play singles.

However, under the Trail Blazers' unlimited defense switching strategy, coupled with the Trail Blazers' inside line, they can always shrink at the first time...

Neither Su Feng nor Kobe could destroy this pioneer without touching the "God descends to earth" switch.

Moreover, when fighting against the regular season, the Lakers can always rely on fucking Su Feng to establish different advantages.

Because the Galactic Battleship of the Trail Blazers also had Spanish Gemini Fernandez and Rodriguez in the combat readiness warehouse, when the second lineup led by Su Feng on the field collided with the Trail Blazers and split the second lineup led by F4, the Lakers became the one below in terms of overall strength of the lineup...

Of course, in this game, the Lakers' defeat was not only good at playing against the opponent, but also related to the Lakers' failure to adjust their game status as soon as possible after resting for nearly a week.

In addition, the previous series of games that washed the Grizzlies also made the Lakers think of underestimating the enemy before the start of the Western Conference semi-finals.

ha?

You said that it is impossible for the NBA to underestimate the enemy until the Western Conference semi-finals?

Wake up!

Then in the Champions League final, there were people who underestimated the opponent after leading 3-0...

How is it impossible to get the Western Conference Semi-Finals?

Why are people?

Because the most lesson learned in their long life is that they will never learn from their experiences.

actually......

Before the start of this Western Conference semi-finals, Su Feng had already expected this way of losing.

only......

Even if he repeatedly asked his teammates to be serious, subconsciously, the Lakers, who have been used to being crazy this season, have long been destined to suffer this disaster in their destiny.

Su Feng knew that as the team leader, it was his duty to remind his teammates to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

But if the correction is too correct, it will also bring some unnecessary psychological burden to the team.

Therefore, on the premise that I was ready to play at least 6 games with this Trail Blazers early in the morning...

Su Feng does not think losing at this time is a bad thing.

Because at least, the Trail Blazers have proved to the world this night...

This Lakers are never unbeatable.

They will also have times when they are in bad shape.

In basketball games, having a superstar like Su Feng and Kobe may mean that your ceiling will be very high.

However, every accident on the field and off the field is likely to affect such an upper limit.

You should know that real games are not as good as playing games, and the abilities of the stars are fixed.

For example, before the game, XXX did not sleep well last night, which is likely to affect his on-the-spot state.

Therefore, the championship team that has always been able to reach the end may not have the best performing stars of the season.

But it must be the best team in the NBA that season.

To put it bluntly.

Basketball is a sport for five people after all.

On this night, the Trail Blazers' five-man team played better than the Lakers, that's all.

"Guys, promise me that you can stop spreading negative energy in depressedly, okay?" After the game, in the Lakers' locker room, Su Feng was immediately happy to see these teammates who didn't even dare to breathe after losing.

As the saying goes, everything has to be viewed in two ways.

In Su Feng's opinion, you can understand that these teammates who are more depressed than the other after losing the game are not strong enough.

However, you can also understand that they have realized their problems, so driven by their sense of responsibility, no one dares to beep loudly at this time.

And what is obvious is...

This Lakers obviously belongs to the latter.

After all, as a team that can carry Su Feng's "fire eyes" and Kobe's "death glare" all day long...

The pressure for this Lakers...

Can that be considered a matter?

Su Feng knew that at this time, in addition to indulging Kobe in to "inspire" his teammates with his eyes...

As the one who is responsible for singing the red face, he must also stand up and let these teammates breathe fresh air.
