If we say, in the last game Al Jefferson's defense, it was 0.7 Anthony.

Then Chris Carman, which is equivalent to 0.9 Anthony.

At the very beginning, the loss of a starting big man undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Trail Blazers players and coaches.

Just like predicted.

On the defensive end, Carman was directly dominated by Whiteside and Jokic.

Aldridge's defense wasn't very good, just a fairly strong passable level.

He wanted to help Carman, but the firepower of Whiteside and Jokic, coupled with Anthony's occasional breakaways, was on the inside.

He can't protect himself, how can he support Kaman?

On the offensive end.

Aldridge asks for the ball in the low post.

The Trail Blazers' offensive style, albeit with a three-point approach.

But their three-point offense was launched from the inside.

When Aldridge can eat in the low post and open up the situation with a mid-range shot after blocking and picking.

The pressure on the defense of the outside shooter group is less, and it is one after another.

The three points are opened, and the game is over.

This is the usual routine of the Trail Blazers in the regular season, and it is also with this routine that they are invincible in the regular season.

But this routine has one of the most obvious flaws.

When Aldridge can't pose a threat on the inside, the outside shooter group will also be frozen.

In the playoffs, the Grizzlies used Gasol Jr. to restrain Aldridge.

Whiteside's comprehensive strength may not be as good as Gasol Jr., after all, on the offensive end, Whiteside is mainly in the way of eating cakes.

But defensively, Whiteside's defense has been phenomenal.

Gasol Jr. can contain Aldridge, and so can Whiteside.

Really.

Aldridge was defended by Whiteside and hit a 3-of-8 campaign.

The hit rate was 37.5%.

Completely restricted, that's impossible.

After all, Aldridge is also an All-Star regular.

Wang Feng smiled, this rhythm is right.

In the few games lost by the Trail Blazers, Ade scored a maximum of 32 points, which is normally more than 20+.

But his shooting percentage is only about 35% overall.

The outside shot can still be seen, after all, it also includes three points.

But for the inside line, it's a big problem.

Look at why the Clippers won against the Spurs.

Griffin's shooting percentage remained above 45 percent, and even reached 52 percent in one game.

Sure enough, Aldridge has maintained a shooting rate of more than 35%.

But the outside line couldn't be opened for a long time, because Aldridge was not fully opened.

In the entire first quarter, Ade scored 15 points.

However.

Knicks 28:20 Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers trailed the Knicks by eight points.

Aldridge was rested, and Wang Feng also arranged for Whiteside to rest.

Aldridge played, and Wang Feng also arranged for Whiteside to play.

Aldridge felt like he was going crazy.

Lillard was just a rookie sophomore last season, and he's only making his debut this season.

But obviously, it is impossible to lead the team to victory on its own.

Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stottes is feeling powerless at the moment.

It's Aldridge, but he's only hitting 35 percent.

That's 8 offensive chances and only 6 points.

For the team, it is a great loss to get eight attacks for six points.

But giving up Aldridge means that Aldridge has become a fixed-point shooter.

Lillard can't go it alone.

After Xiao Si came off the bench, he tore up the Trail Blazers' already fragile interior line at once.

After losing Robin Lopez, the inside line lost its barrier and was still withdrawn by the opposing side.

Finally, halfway through the fourth quarter.

Terry Stottes saw that the difference was already 20 points, and he knew that this form could not be caught up anyway.

Honk!

After a timeout, Terry Stouts pulled back the main force.

Surrendered!

Wang Feng was also used to it, but he was still a little envious of the warriors next door.

People punch in three quarters, and they have to punch in more than half of the fourth quarter every time.

There's still a bit of a gap...

Final score.

Knicks 109:92 Trail Blazers.
