As for why the score difference was not widened, it was because after eight minutes, Lin Chen, Sabonis, and Olajuwon were all substituted.
The Trail Blazers replaced O'Neal and a backup guard, and the Rockets replaced Olajuwon's substitute Kevin Willis!
After Lin Chen and Sabonis left the field, Sir Ba couldn't hold it in any longer! Sir Ba is still very clear about his current physical condition. He has not returned to his peak condition at all. It is a good achievement to reach 6.5 in peak condition!
However, even if his skill is only 6.5%, it is still enough to deal with a young man like Rasheed Wallace!
In the original history, Sir Ba played poorly in this game. On the one hand, the defensive pressure was indeed too great. On the other hand, his injury was more serious than it is now. Although Sir Ba is not recovering well from his injury now, But the injuries were much lighter than in the original history!
After Sabonis, the master who started the zone, came off the field, Barkley was still alive. Rasheed Wallace is still young. After all, he is also a 24-year-old young player. It is really difficult to deal with an old fritter like Barkley. Difficult to beat, in the last four minutes, Feizhu relied on his big butt to directly hit Rasheed Wallace with a 4-for-2 free throw and 2-for-2, scoring 10 points in just four minutes!
This is really a scream for Rasheed Wallace, and he almost didn't get the form of the Roaring God in advance!
But Rasheed Wallace really has the character of a flat-headed brother. Meeting an opponent like Barkley triggered his flat-headed brother's wild nature!
My mind is clearer! Although he couldn't guard Barkley, he relied on a straight-arm shot and scored 3 of 3 on Barkley, scoring 6 points directly!
Barkley has never been a strong defensive player. Facing Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shot that even Duncan can't defend, it becomes even more difficult to defend him!
So although Barkley filled part of the hole, he was unable to further narrow the score with the Trail Blazers. However, the current situation of being 2 points behind is completely acceptable to the Rockets!
This time the game is played exactly according to the playoff style. Since Richmond spent too much time skiing in the first quarter, let him play for a while in the second quarter. Old Dunleavy is still leading the team no matter what. People who have played in the finals still have this kind of on-the-spot reaction!
But even after Lin Chen came off the field, the slider couldn't easily score! Because after Lin Chen came off the field, it was replaced by Richmond to defend him. If the slider was two years younger, Richmond's defense would not be in his eyes at all, but he is no longer good, even if it is Richmond. In the entire first quarter, the slider really stretched his hips and scored 41!
Dameng and Barkley both shook their heads. Damn it, you really can't carry it!
But Barkley didn't laugh for long. Old Dunleavy waved his hand and replaced Robert Horry directly. Brian Grant came in to deal with Barkley. Brian Grant really fought with Barkley for good data. Woke up!
Unlike Rasheed Wallace, this kind of dumb-headed player, Barkley really had no way to deal with him after his physical strength declined!
In the second quarter, Lin Chen also rested until the official timeout before coming on the field. After the hard work at the beginning of the first quarter, both players took a lot of rest before coming on the field!
After Lin Chen and Sabonis returned to the court, Tang Shuai also replaced Olajuwon and took down Barkley and Slider. Old Dunleavy also replaced Richmond and took a rest. Uncle Huo!
Although he is in the playoffs, before the critical moment, Hall's style is still the same as water skiing. On the offensive end, he just catches and shoots, and on the defensive end, he exerts his strength!
The main point of attack for both sides has once again become the core player of the team!
Barkley looked at the young man on the court who led Sabonis to suppress Olajuwon, and he felt a little emotional. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Is Barkley really a bit old?
Touching his sore legs, Barkley also sighed secretly. In the past few years, these minor injuries and illnesses would have been nothing!
The slider and Barkley felt bad off the court, and Olajuwon on the court wasn't much better either!
They were originally counting on Slider and Barkley to get the score back, but when he came on the field, the score was 31:27, and instead they were opened by two points!
Olajuwon was also speechless. He didn't suffer anything, but his life was so miserable, these bunch of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks!
There's nothing you can do about it, you still have to fight. Although neither Olajuwon nor Sabonis entered the zone in the second quarter, Lin Chen stayed in the zone!
Olajuwon also looked at Lin Chen with some envy. He thought back then, he could be like Lin Chen and still feel tired after maintaining the zone state for the whole game!
I have to say that the three Rockets veterans all saw their former selves in Lin Chen!
This mentality is a bit dangerous! If you want to win the championship, of course you can't have such low thoughts. You must ensure that your motivation is the right thing to do!
Lin Chen, who turned on the zone state, did not save any face for Olajuwon. Since you, Olajuwon, have exited the zone state, I am not afraid of you anymore!
So in the second half of the second quarter, Lin Chen increased his intensity in attacking the inside! Olajuwon, who has exited the zone state, can no longer defend Lin Chen like he did in the zone state!
In just six minutes in the second half of the second quarter, Lin Chen got two fouls on Olajuwon!
Tang Shuai was so frightened that he quickly replaced Olajuwon from the field!
If Olajuwon is troubled by foul trouble early, the Rockets will be completely unable to play this game!
Lin Chen is really smart, because the core of the Rockets' defense is Olajuwon. The entire Rockets' defense is completely supported by Olajuwon alone. As long as he comes off the court, the Rockets will have nothing. defensive system!
This is also why at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, after Olajuwon came off the court, it became easier for other Blazers players to score!
Olajuwon's ability to protect the frame is a top priority for the Rockets, and no one can replace it!
The current Rockets may be able to operate normally without the slider, but if Barkley or Olajuwon is missing, as long as one is missing, there will be huge problems on both ends of the offense and defense!
This is also the reason why the Rockets' record plummeted after Olajuwon was injured!
However, it is not an easy task for Lin Chen to defeat Dameng! Because Lin Chen opened the second stage of zone!
If it weren't for all attributes +10%, Lin Chen wouldn't have the ability to defeat Dameng!
There is no way. If Olajuwon is on the court, the threat to the Trail Blazers is too great. The main reason is that except for Lin Chen, other Trail Blazers players start to tremble when they hear Olajuwon's name. This name is similar to Jordan is like a god, and Olajuwon's reputation as the number one center is not just a boast, it is a real one!
That is to say, Sabonis has a big dream, and others, even Rasheed Wallace, a guy with a flat head, are afraid of big dreams!
Unlike Lin Chen, a stupid young man who has never been controlled by Dameng and doesn't care about Dameng's reputation at all. For Lin Chen, only if you can beat me can you be qualified to control me!
After Dameng came off the field, Lin Chen also put away his offensive edge and once again became a player supporting his teammates!
Apart from anything else, Dameng, this old boy, is really a bit ruthless in his attacks. When Lin Chen attacked the inside line just now, Dameng saw the foul and couldn't dodge, so he really didn't have any energy left when he dragged Lin Chen down. Of course , It’s not the way to hurt people intentionally, it’s just a beating that hurts Lin Chen’s flesh! (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Now Lin Chen felt like his arms were going to be swollen! Even the most stable free throw just now was 2 out of 4! If you can knock down Lin Chen's free throw shooting percentage, you can imagine how ruthless Dameng is!
It hurts you, but not to the point where you can't accept it at all, and it's far away from a flagrant foul!
Lin Chen now knows why most players' shooting percentages have dropped in the playoffs. It's strange that this kind of high-intensity muscle confrontation does not affect the feel!
Even a digital player like Lin Chen would experience fluctuations after being beaten, let alone others!
But everything is worth it. After Dameng left the field, the Blazers' offense became smoother. Tang Shuai also knew that after Dameng left the field, neither Barkley nor the slider could support a team. The team's defense simply let all three of them rest. After all, there was only one and a half minutes left in the second quarter. Even if Lin Chen showed off his power, it would be impossible to close the score in one and a half minutes. It’s so big that it’s ridiculous!
Sure enough, in this minute and a half, the Trail Blazers only expanded their lead by four points!
At the end of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Rockets by eight points 40:32 entering the second half!
This game is definitely the most uncomfortable game the Trail Blazers have played since the start of the season. Although it is impossible for the Rockets to provide any help to the three old guys on the offensive end, they really defend with all their might on the defensive end!
I would rather destroy my own feel than give you a chance to attack easily. As a result, the feel of the Blazers has been greatly affected!
However, this shows the stability of Richmond. Even though everyone's shooting percentage is average, Richmond still maintained a stable shooting touch in the two quarters. In the first half, he made 6 of 8 three-pointers. 43, no free throws, 15 points alone! He is a major contributor to the Trail Blazers' lead!
Sabonis and Olajuwon exchanged blows. They scored 6 points on 3-of-6 shooting, but got 7 rebounds. Rasheed Wallace scored 6 points on 3-of-7 shooting in the first half. O'Neal Jr. had no points. Yes, this kind of intensity is still a little early for O'Neal, 0 for 1 and only two rebounds! But the defensive frame protection is very good!
Brian Grant scored 4 points on 2-for-5, while Lin Chen scored 3-for-5. This game had a greater impact, with 1-for-3 three-pointers, 42 free throws, 9 points and 4 attacks!
Mainly, Lin Chen didn't expect that even if it was digitized, it would be affected by muscle collisions!
However, the system also gave an explanation. Even if you play 2k, your attributes will still fluctuate after your physical strength drops. That is purely digital, so Lin Chen's situation is very normal!
And the Trail Blazers' side feels pretty good, while the Rockets' side is even worse. The sliders really can't do anything except water skiing!
Being beaten by Lin Chen and Richmond, the slider himself was going numb!
In addition to Olajuwon, the other Rockets players also performed well. They were obviously in a lineup of the Big Three, but Olajuwon felt like he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists! It’s as if the other two giants in his family are fake!
During the halftime break, the atmosphere on the Rockets' side (Zhao Nuo's) was also very depressing. After all, they prepared according to the playoff style of play, but they were suppressed by the Trail Blazers, who were also serious!
Although this first half may be Lin Chen's worst game with the Trail Blazers, his efficiency is still not bad. It's a pity that other people's touch is cold and the number of assists is not that many!
Well, indeed Richmond is the most reliable!
Richmond also felt very comfortable with Lin Chen's passing. After all, Lin Chen had ten cents in his hand. In addition to the second phase of the zone, Richmond also had the badge of the catcher and shooter. It was really a shooting. Not to mention how comfortable it is!
The slider's defense did not cause any greater interference to Richmond! After all, the slider is older and cannot defend without the ball like he did when he was young! He doesn't have the physical strength!
Except for Uncle Huo's initial performance, he spent the rest of his time waterskiing. Well, it's not yet time for Uncle Huo to exert his strength!
A big killing weapon like Uncle Huo must of course be used on the edge!
Old Dunleavy didn't say much, just hit the inside and that's it. As long as Dameng is beaten, the Rockets will be like a toothless tiger, without any threat at all!
For positional battles, just use conventional tactics. When necessary, let Lin Chen fight alone! Old Dunleavy believed that Lin Chen could definitely give him a perfect answer!
Tang Shuai, on the other hand, told others to protect Olajuwon and not let the Blazers continue to cause fouls on Olajuwon! When necessary, Barkley needs to be used as bait to complete the foul for Olajuwon!
Dameng can't help it. The Trail Blazers are really at a loss. We really need to catch him, donkey!.
