Reverse Growth Superstar

　　 Just when the Warriors fans were clamoring that Link was re-elected as the best defensive player just because of good luck and Curry was sure to win the MVP, the Grizzlies' opponents in the second round were officially released.

　　 On May 2, the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 111-100 in the away game, and eliminated the opponent 4-3 with a total score of 4 to 3, and successfully advanced to the second round.

　　 At first glance, this is a very ordinary score. And the Blazers played so hard in the first round, and they are definitely not the Grizzlies' opponent.

　　 But in fact, everyone in the outside world is discussing the possibility that the pioneers continue to create miracles!

　　 The Blazers can eliminate the Clippers 4-3, but it's not as simple as it seems on the surface. Because of the victory over the Clippers in the series, the Blazers became the ninth team in NBA history that could counterattack and win the series when they were behind 1 to 3!

　　 Yes, the Blazers once trailed the Clippers 1 to 3, but they did not give up resistance, but broke out and forced the game back.

　　 Because of this, they are called "the team that came back after a walk in hell."

　　 On paper, the Blazers are definitely not as powerful as the Grizzlies. But with such an example of a 1 to 3 reversal win in front of us, no one knows what the Blazers can do.

　　 And after experiencing a "death", they will definitely be able to show a stronger performance.

　　 Many people think that the Trailblazers may be black this year! This "dark horse power" even makes it difficult for the Grizzlies to fight.

　　 In short, this round was supposed to be a game without suspense, but now it has become a lot of attention.

　　People want to see if the miracle of the Trail Blazers can continue in the face of the Grizzlies.

　　 The next morning after the Trail Blazers reversed their victory, Georgel also called everyone for an emergency tactical meeting. Obviously, the Grizzlies themselves care about the Blazers.

　　 is able to counterattack a comeback when it is 1 to 3 behind, which is not something that can be done by luck alone.

　　 Link was also very surprised when he learned that the Blazers really reversed and won.

　　In the original history, the Clippers have indeed experienced a reversal of a 3-1 lead this year. But the Clippers' opponent in the original history is not the Blazers, but the Rockets. They were not reversed in the first round, but in the Western Conference semifinals.

　　 At that time, Paul was only one step away from his dream of the Western Conference. But no one thought that the Clippers would be eliminated with an advantage.

　　 After that, the stalk of "a certain 183 man sneaking on the floor of the Western Conference" was broken by the fans.

　　 But Link never expected that the Clippers would still be a tragedy after changing an opponent and changing time...

　　 It's really not wrong to say that the Clippers are a regular season team. They also crossed during the regular season and entered the playoffs. When it's time for a real shot, the Clippers always lose the chain at critical moments.

　　 Link shook his head, and did not continue to think about the Clippers. At the moment, his opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers, and he must focus all his attention on the Trail Blazers.

Dave Georgel and Quinn Snyder carefully analyzed the Trail Blazers' game video. The reason why the Trail Blazers were able to come back after 1-3 behind, in addition to the fact that the entire team was all-in-one from the start to the bench, but also Because Damien Lillard's performance is very brave!

　　 This third-year point guard did not lose sight of Chris Paul at all, and made frequent shots at critical moments, showing his big heart.

　　 Since Lillard entered the league, he has gone to Link training camp every summer. He is a very ambitious and determined guy. As an older rookie, he knows that he doesn't have as much growth time as others.

　　All he can do is to put in more effort than others.

　　 Obviously, his efforts have paid off. In this regard, Link really didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

　　On the one hand, Lillard has made great progress because of participating in his training camp. On the other hand, the Blazers have now become an obstacle to the Grizzlies’ three consecutive championships...

　　 After an analysis, Georgel and Snyder decided to double-team against Lillard!

　　Although Link played well against Lillard in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Lillard may not be so easy to lose in one-on-one.

　　Also, letting Conley defend the second position is also very disadvantaged. Conley is only 1.85 meters tall, and neither he defends the Trail Blazers' Matthews or C.J. McCollum can take advantage.

　　 Therefore, Conley must be the first line of defense against Lillard, and the Grizzlies can only find a way to double-team.

　　George and Snyder knew that only when Lillard was restricted, the Grizzlies were truly safe. Otherwise, you never know what the No. 0 guard will do in the next second.

　　 Well, it seems that everyone wearing the No. 0 jersey is not too easy to provoke...

　　 But the double-teaming tactics don’t mean that you can play. Without careful planning, double-teaming can easily go wrong.

　　How to double-team, when to double-fold, who to double-fold...All these details need to be refined.

　　 Otherwise, the Blazers will definitely give the Grizzlies a taste of being committed by the following.

　　First of all, Lillard likes to play pick-and-rolls with Aldridge, so the first step in double-teaming is to strike after the pick-and-roll!

　　Also, the big man who flanked him could not leave Lillard. Lillard must be forced to try difficult shots, or forced to make the ball.

　　 Anyway, I just can't make Lillard comfortable.

　　 As a result, the requirements for the Grizzlies' defensive ability at the fourth position are very high. First of all, this person must keep up with Lillard's footsteps, and he must have a solid defensive skills.

　　 Otherwise, it won't hold the 0.

　　The idea is here, and the candidate is already obvious. In the Grizzlies team, there is still one of the best defensive players who can play the fourth position.

　　 In the last round of the series, Link performed very well in the fourth position, torturing Anthony Davis to the death. Tobias Harris was also very active after falling to the third position.

　　 In this round, Georgel hopes that Link will continue to play in the fourth position. But his task is not to restrict Aldridge, but to find a way to stop Lillard!

　　 As long as Lillard is blocked, the Blazers can't do anything too extraordinary.

　　In terms of conventional strength, the Blazers cannot win the Grizzlies.

　　After finalizing the tactics, the Grizzlies began to practice the double-teaming strategy that afternoon. However, due to the game the next day and the short training time, in most people's eyes, no matter what adjustments the Grizzlies make, the maturity of the tactics will certainly not be too high.

During the media opening hours that afternoon, a reporter interviewed Georgel, "Coach, do you have any special targeting settings for the Trail Blazers? Do you think your arrangement can have an effect in just one afternoon? ?"

　　George was very cautious. He didn't want to get out of the way, so he didn't respond positively, "It's not appropriate to discuss tactics now. We can talk about something else."

　　 This unclear answer naturally cannot satisfy the reporters. Since they can't get the answer from Georgel~www.wuxiaspot.com~, reporters have no choice but to make up for it.

　　 It is generally believed that the only change that Georgel has changed is for Link to defend Lillard.

　　 Link is like a brick, where you can fill it up wherever you have time.

　　 Not only the media, but even Trailblazer coach Terry Stotts and Lillard himself think so.

　　 What can the Grizzlies do? It is nothing more than using the best defensive player to limit the opponent's top scorer.

　　 To this end, they also prepared corresponding countermeasures.

　　The Blazers team is full of confidence. The immature Pelicans can't do anything with the Grizzlies. It doesn't mean the Blazers are the same!

　　 That evening, Lillard accepted a telephone interview from reporters.

During the interview, Lillard was full of confidence, "I respect Link, and I respect the Grizzlies. In fact, we have a good relationship privately. But because of this, we will be less merciful on the court. We just started Back from hell, we are now fearless. My teammates and I can’t wait to continue the miracle!"

　　 The next day, Lillard's words reached Link through reporters.

　　People thought Lillard's imposing speech would calm Link, but Link only smiled.

　　 "Hell? Hahahaha, neither the Trailblazers nor Damien have seen what real **** is like. But don't worry, they will see it soon tonight."

　　 Link finished, and blinked at the camera. .

　　 It seems that Reaper is about to start his hunting game again.

　　 Link is very confident about the Grizzlies’ new strategy.
