"The Blazers' offensive choice this time is too bold. It is hard for you to imagine that when there are two All-Star players on the court, it is not the two All-Star players of the team who initiate the offense, nor are these two

All-star players to finish the offense."

"Yes, Batum and Zhang Feng's pick-and-roll attack this time really made Team R's defense not expect it. Maybe McHale also wouldn't have expected that in the last-minute attack, Lillard and Aldridge unexpectedly

They will all enter a "watching the show" state, and on the defensive end, relying on the subjective judgment of the athletes of Team R, it is obvious that the Blazers' offense is not restricted on the defensive end."

"The Blazers' bold offensive choices have achieved good results. So with 42 seconds left and trailing by 4 points, how will Team R play?"

"In the past three minutes, almost all of Team R's offenses were based on Howard's tactics. Harden was 'invisible' throughout the whole process and did not show his offensive nature at all. I don't know if he will show it at the last moment."

In this decisive game, for Team R, they were behind by a big score of 2 to 3. If they lost, there would be no tomorrow. If they couldn't come back from this game, they would really take a vacation and go home to fish.

However, Harden's previous performance seemed to leave the final outcome of the game to his teammates, and he had no intention of participating in it.

In this timeout, whether McHale dares to hand over the scoring responsibility to Harden, whether Harden dares to take responsibility, completes the scoring task at the last moment, and then whether to choose a quick two-point shot or a three-point shot, are all quite telling.

An offensive option.

"I think Harden must stand up and try to play a greater offensive role in the game at such a critical moment."

"This critical round of team R is an attack that must be scored. In the last life and death ball, in theory, the attack should be mainly launched from the outside."

"Because you always attack center Howard like this, what you need to know is that after all, the center's attack speed is slow, and at the last moment of the game, when the center attacks, he is the most vulnerable to the opponent's defensive attack. Some confrontation actions,

The referee will not call the ball inside."

"The center's offense is also the most likely to miss the ball. If Team R fails to score this goal, the game may be over."

"And if you continue to attack Howard like this, then the Blazers' defense has adapted and will give the R team the greatest restriction."

"Back from the timeout! Team R has re-formed into a lineup with one big and four small, so that except for Howard, the other four points have the ability to shoot three-pointers."

"Judging from this position on the court, Harden should use the screen to pull out from the baseline to the three-point line to catch the ball."

"It is indeed such a tactic. Harden used the screen provided by Parsons to run to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball, start a 1 on 1, and beat Matthews in isolation."

After Harden received the ball, Jeremy Lin, who served the sideline ball, and Parsons, who had previously provided a screen for Harden, all moved to the upper line with their defenders, clearing half of the area for Harden, allowing Harden to have full play.

of singles space.

"Harden can break through."

Accelerate directly from outside the three-point line and go to the left side to break through.

Matthews defended very hard and blocked Harden's breakthrough route.

After Harden dribbled the ball from his hips, he immediately changed the direction of his attack and broke through from his right hand.

Matthews' step adjustment was excellent and he once again kept up with Harden's rhythm.

But Harden broke through on the right side and only took one step forward before changing direction and attacking from the left again.

Even though Matthews felt that his legs were tired, he still managed to readjust his center of gravity and blocked Harden's route again.

However, Harden immediately stopped again and completed a dribble under his crotch before changing direction and walking to the right. This time, Matthews' center of gravity could no longer be adjusted.

Harden went to the right and went directly into the three-second zone.

Ade and Robin Lopez came over quickly, especially Robin Lopez who guarded the basket and prevented Harden from easily attacking the basket.

However, Harden did not attack the inside. Instead, after getting away from Matthews and gaining a certain amount of space, Harden once again chose to step back and complete the shot with a slight backward tilt.

Aldridge's flying dive could not have any impact.

"Harden's fadeaway jumper! Hit!"

"It only took 6 seconds of attack time, and there were 38 seconds left in the game. Team R closed the score difference to 2 points."

"Harden's shot was very decisive and brought Team R back into the game."

Harden hit the ball very hard, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Matthews thinks that his defense is the best, but Harden's personal offensive performance this time was really good. He completely regarded the defense as nothing and forcibly created offensive opportunities.

Carlisle quickly called a timeout. Instead of thinking about defense at this time, what the Blazers wanted to think about was how to maintain the two-point lead.

As long as the Blazers can score in the next attack, they can completely kill the game.

"This time it's Stotts' turn to make offensive arrangements."

"With two All-Stars in the team, who should be the main attacker, Lillard or Aldridge."

"They even dared to let Batum, who scored last time, or Zhang Feng, who performed well in the fourth quarter, complete the last shot at the last moment."

"McHale just chose to believe in Harden. Who will Stotts believe this time?"

After a pause, Zhang Feng reappears.

In the offensive round, the pick-and-roll effect between Zhang Feng and Lillard must be very good.

The R team replaced Jones to support Zhang Feng and asked Howard to restrict Aldridge.

Lillard controlled the time after receiving the ball. He wanted to kill the game time until the last 24 seconds left before launching an attack.

You must not leave too much time for your opponent to attack.

"Lillard is dribbling from the outside! Do you want to beat Beverley in isolation?"

"No! Zhang Feng came over to pick and roll."

High pick-and-roll, as the launch of the Blazers' offense.

Jones went up to grab the ball, and Beverley kept following the defense, but Lillard took advantage of his speed and rushed directly into Team R's three-point line.

Although Lillard was unable to go straight to the basket under the lateral defense of the two, Lillard, who accelerated to the right, still jumped to the outside while traveling and completed a difficult personal fadeaway jumper.

.

"Lillard takes action!"

"Iron is struck!"

"This shot is really difficult. Lillard's choice was a little too hasty!"

"Yes, Zhang Feng already got an open opportunity after the pick-and-roll, but in the end, Lillard still resolutely chose to attack by himself, without considering Zhang Feng's open position."

"What a pity! Lillard's confidence did not lead to a goal in the end. After Howard grabbed the rebound, Team R immediately called its last remaining timeout."
Chapter completed!
