In the second quarter, Trail Blazers head coach Chicks allowed the team leader Rahim to continue fighting.

Switched to point guard Jeff McGinnis, point guard Wells, small forward Randolph, and center Sabonis.

To be honest, Bonchi Wells' outside height is the inside style. In other words, the Trail Blazers' rotation lineup actually has four inside lines + one outside line.

In order to stabilize the situation, Li Mu kept Arenas and Marion on the court.

Swap Joe Johnson, Boozer and Diop.

Diop doesn't know how to attack, and he is an alien to the Suns.

Li Mu arranged for him to appear because he wanted to defend the penalty area.

The Trail Blazers attack first.

McGinnis took the ball to the frontcourt and found that the Suns blocked the penalty area and let them attack from the outside.

Summon the opponent to death?

Obviously, it's exactly what the Suns want.

He did not take action and handed the basketball to Rahim for a strong attack.

After receiving the ball, he hit Boozer with his back. After being attacked by Marion, he pulled the ball and turned around, and made a jump shot with a backward jump shot...

Swish—!

Although Rahim had a hard time playing, he still scored two points.

Arenas received the serve from the bottom line and quickly dribbled the ball.

Marion cut into the inside, threw away Randolph, received a pass from Arenas, and made a two-step layup.

Swish—!

He easily hit two points, but the difference between the two sides was still 7 points.

There is only one of the Trail Blazers who is McGinnis who can run and cannot stop the Suns' running and bombing attack.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers have an absolute advantage in the inside.

During the offense, Randolph did not defend but his offense was very awesome.

He directly hit Marion with the ball. Under Boozer's assisted defense, he played very strongly. He turned around and supported him, and made a quick layup...

Bang-!

The ironwork was off.

I jump.

After winning the rebound, Randolph made a second tip-in.

Bang-!

Still didn't enter.

fine!

I'll jump again!

The third move finally put the basketball into the basket.

With amazing bounce ability, he is just a flexible fat man who attacks continuously and defeats the attack.

In just one round, Randolph scored 2 points and 2 rebounds, with the only difference being the shooting percentage.

Pu'op couldn't cover the penalty area, and could not stop the Trail Blazers' strong attack on defense.

The team stumbled offense, and with the advantage of rebounding in height and strength, the offense was continuously played.

On the defensive end, the Trail Blazers also paid the price of being biased.

It also blocks the Suns' speed-up attack.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides exploded in offenses, and no one could do anything to their opponents.

But soon, the Suns' mobile defense began to make contributions.

The Trail Blazers, which have more defenses and fewer defenses, have no offensive space, have a rapid offensive efficiency.

In addition, the Suns played more and less in the offense, and the gap between the two sides began to widen.

Trail Blazers head coach Chicks can only substitute.

Removing Sabonis and Rashid, replacing Pippen and Damon Stadmire.

At this time, the lineup became point guard Flying Squirrels, point guard McGinnis, small forward Wells, power forward Pippen, and center Randolph.

Not to mention, this lineup, the offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers is alive again.

Randolph has a lot of space inside and becomes very active, and catching the ball is a threat.

Diop's defense is always a beat slower.

Li Mu couldn't help but replace Xiao Si.

Wells is full of muscles and strong. Marion is off the court and Hardaway can't stop him from playing.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers' offensive firepower is stronger, but their defense is worse, as if they have given up treatment.

No one can defend, and no one is willing to defend. Both sides have just re-entered the mutual explosion mode.

At the end of the first half, the game was 63 to 52, and the Suns entered the locker room to rest with an advantage of 11 points.
Chapter completed!
