In short, after losing to the Lakers and being beaten by Stephen Jackson, the Spurs now have problems everywhere.

This is the end of a dynasty.

However, Duncan is still there, which is also the lucky place for the Spurs.

The entire Spurs were taken back by Duncan to his "Black Jack" car dealership, and then Duncan organized the entire Spurs to hold a racing competition called "DK and his close comrades!".

In the end, Duncan won the championship by driving his own modified vehicle.

After the racing game, Duncan took the Spurs players to play a round of boxing.

The Spurs, which originally seemed to be leaking everywhere, once again returned to peace and normality.

After defeating the Spurs away, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to their home court and will face the challenge of the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have performed very well this season.

Led by Lillard and Aldridge, Matthews, Batum, Robin Lopez and others, the record so far is 16 wins and 4 losses.

His record in the Western Conference is second only to the Warriors and the Lakers.

Now he has reached the third place in the West.

After a series of away games, I finally returned to my home court. Lakers fans were very excited and enthusiastic in this game against the Trail Blazers.

In this game, Roy and Oden fought against the Savior, which was a battle of grudges and a battle of memories.

Aldridge himself did not expect that there would be a chance to see Roy again on the NBA court.

In the last game against the Spurs, Olajuwon did not have the equipment to dream of returning to the peak card. Although he didn't play so much, he was still a little tired due to the hard work of the boat. Du Kang did not let Olajuwon play in this game.

Du Kang's starters in this game were Yao Ming, Oden, Kobe, McGrady and Roy.

Facing his old club, Du Kang hopes that Oden and Roy will perform.

Seeing Coach D's arrangement of troops with such a human nature, the head coach of the Trail Blazers Coach Stots laughed.

Two big centers start?

There are such good things?

I, Robin, Lopez, stood at the basket and everyone contracted to the basket. Wouldn't you suffocate the Lakers to death?

He still remembers the game against Oden last season. Oden beat the Trail Blazers, which is also the reason why the Trail Blazers brought Robin Lopez this season.

When playing against the Lakers, it feels like a big center, which is really comfortable.

Then, after the game began, the big center that made Stotts feel safe became a burden.

Oden and Yao Ming were not at the basket at all.

Both were near the free throw line.

Even Oden spent most of his time at the three-point line.

Damn it!

What about the two big centers that agreed to be?

Why is this how it is played?

Stotz didn't plan to let Lopez go out at first. Lopez went out so he really couldn't come back!

However, seeing Aldridge being shot alone by Yao Ming and Oden, the shot was so hard that he could only release Robin Lopez.

Then, the Trail Blazers' defense collapsed.

Yao Ming supported the ball at the basket and fed Kobe, Roy and Maizi.

The inside player shoots outside.

The outside players attacked at the basket.

This style of play made Stotts cry.

In the current NBA, I have never seen such a team!

"Coach D is playing UCLA now!"

Jabbar's eyes flashed.

And it's not the modified version of the Spurs.

It's a real retro version of UCLA empty cut!

He played like that with Mr. John Wooden at UCLA University!

As the direct descendant of Mr. John Wooden, Jabbar certainly knew how UCLA came about.

This is the prototype of Mr. John Wooden's UCLA air-cut.

As the starting point of the offensive, the center forward directly cuts the empty score at the basket. This is the original UCLA empty score, which is very simple and effective.

But during the implementation process, such tactics cannot be achieved continuously. The reason is that the center in the team cannot complete the effective attack initiation, lacks ability, and misses the opportunity to pass the ball when cutting.

Another reason is that the players who cut the basket at the empty basket are not able to complete the end.

After all, that is the NCAA game rule, and it is the basketball game rule decades ago. It is indeed not easy to complete the offense at the basket, especially for outside players.

Later, due to changes in personnel and different players' qualities, Mr. John Wooden developed several versions of the improved UCLA air cutting style and tactics based on the characteristics and abilities of his players.

There is no difference between the prototype and the later improved version, it only depends on whether it is suitable or not.

Obviously, the UCLA air-cut prototype is very suitable for this Lakers.

Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Oden, and O'Neal Jr. all have this ability.

McGrady, Kobe, Roy and others also have excellent finishing skills at the basket.

The advantage of UCLA's empty cut prototype is that it is simple routines and easy to establish a system.

The disadvantage is...well, the offense and defense are not fast enough.

In this game, Stotts played hard.

I always feel like I've been flying kites by the Lakers and being hung and beaten.

The Trail Blazers did not lose much in this game.

114 to 118, lost 4 points, but the rhythm of the game is all on the Lakers. After watching the game, it will make people feel that the Lakers are controlling the game, and the Lakers are controlling it very steadily.

The reason why I only lost 4 points in the end was entirely because Lillard made a three-pointer in the third quarter, making 4 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to score 41 points in a single quarter. In addition to these 41 points, the rest

The Trail Blazers scored 73 points in the next three quarters.

And this is also a problem with the UCLA air-cut prototype.

Not good at defending three-pointers.

The ability to attack three-pointers is also not good.

In fact, in that era, who would have thought that the future three-pointers would develop to such an extent?

The foundation of UCLA's tactical concept of empty cutting is that the closer you are to the basket, the higher the efficiency, and the empty cutting will be at the basket.

Later, Mr. John Wooden expanded the scope of the tactics to the middle distance, which was already the farthest.

As for Spurs, it expands further.

And this season, Cole expanded the scope to a further extent.

The Golden State Warriors' passing and cutting system also has the shadow of UCLA's empty cutting.

The same goes for Pat Riley's five-finals.

In fact, it's all improved.

"Coach D, it seems your team is trying new ways of playing in this game?"

"Yes, I've let my outside players try more at the basket in this game."

Du Kang said with a smile.

To be honest, Yao Ming and Oden are both outside the free throw line now. If Maizi, Kozi and Roy are also in that area, it would be too crowded.

Du Kang hopes to open up the space.

Kozi runs, just like the Warriors Cole asks Curry, runs, catches and shoots.

As for Maizi, he has excellent finishing ability at the basket and strong passing ability. He is suitable for cutting the basket to catch the ball, either attacking by himself or passing the ball.

And Roy.

He is between wheat and family.

That character of Clay.

You can go to the basket, outside the three-point line, or at the middle distance.

However, his UCLA cut was just clicked out and his proficiency was not high, and the players still need to cooperate.

Well, there are a lot of mistakes for the time being.

The Lakers made 16 mistakes in this game. If they want to face teams like the Warriors, Knicks, Thunder, and Spurs, they have already kneeled down.
