The rest is just noise

The Blazers never thought that the player who had a fatal impact on this game was neither Wilson, nor Jordan, nor Barkley, but the "Jiang Duo" who was regarded as a thorn in Jordan's side.

After Liu Yuqing came on as a substitute, her fiery state was amazing.

First, he used the "Meteor" tactic to get out of the open space, catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

Then in a tactical situation, he held the ball in front of Rex Chapman and hit a three-pointer on the board.

The tragedy maker had been waiting for Liu Yuqing to miss the ball so he could criticize him, but this guy seemed to be possessed by something. He was in amazing condition and never missed a shot.

After beating and beating, the tragedy master lost his temper.

In retrospect, he did have a problem in that round, and Liu Yuqing just pointed out the problem in a sharper way.

And this is not directed at him, Liu Yuqing does this to everyone.

After thinking about this clearly, the tragedy master's mentality of playing ball for Liu Yuqing also changed.

Originally, he was just waiting for Liu Yuqing to make a mistake, and then criticize him severely.

Now, he hopes Liu Yuqing can maintain her condition.

Liu Yuqing is not even among the top three attackers in the Lakers. If it is not Wilson, Garnett or Barkley who causes big trouble for the Trail Blazers at the start of tonight, then it will be of great help to the subsequent progress of the game.

of.

Because this is not an accident where the old-fashioned core performs abnormally and the role players turn into i-qi soldiers to support the game. The Lakers' core players are currently barely exerting their strength, and they only rely on tactics and Liu Yuqing's explosion to establish the lead.

After Liu Yuqing scored 15 points in a row without missing a shot, Riley realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly stopped the game.

33 to 20

Adjustments on both sides are relatively routine.

Riley wanted to change the rhythm of the game, so he replaced Fisher, who was young but very stable in controlling the court, and put Jordan in the second position that could best unleash his personal abilities.

This will not only relieve him of organizational pressure, but also make full use of his super strong single defense to limit Liu Yuqing, who is a superb starter.

For the Lakers, although not all members of the "Beautiful Basketball" team started to blossom at the beginning, Liu Yuqing's wonderful performance still gave the Lakers a double-digit lead.

Louis was prepared for a protracted war, so he did not step on the accelerator to the end, but made rotations when the advantage was established - Barkley and Dumas replaced Tragedy and Barros.

A reasonably capable superstar like Barkley will rarely sit on the bench, but in the Lakers, he has become accustomed to this arrangement by the coaching staff.

When there is time, Barkley will muster up the self-esteem of a superstar to express to Louis that he does not want to be substituted at every turn, but Louis said that that is his greatest value, because he is willing to sacrifice for the championship, precisely because of Pat Riley's delay.

This was not noticed, so their cooperation failed.

Even Barkley admitted that both parties were responsible for the breakdown of his relationship with Riley. In comparison, Riley was more responsible.

But Louis used the grand narrative of "for the championship" and "willing to sacrifice" in the arena to confuse Barkley.

Barkley still does this, but the biggest trouble caused by frequent substitutes is that he sometimes encounters the opponent's substitutes, which feels very bad. With his strength, he can easily start in any team's starting lineup.

As a result, Louis had another strange theory. He felt that avoiding the opponent's starting lineup and traveling at staggered times was actually a blessing for Barkley, and it was him accepting the benefits of being a substitute. Because the offensive and defensive pressure that a substitute can bring is far more than that of a starter, they

There are several big gaps between him and Barkley.

Imagine that Benj had a fierce battle with the opponent's starter, but he came on the stage when the opponent replaced the substitute and the game entered the title phase. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Of course, it's very rare to be directly substituted as a substitute like tonight without even starting the starting lineup.

Moreover, Barkley did not have the benefit of coming off the bench against the Trail Blazers, because the Trail Blazers have always been known for their short rotations in the playoffs.

However, even if he was not a starter, he still played a high-intensity game for eight consecutive minutes. How could he still chat and laugh off the court and recharge his batteries?

As soon as he came on the court, Barkley spat trash at Jordan: "Michael, your end has come!"

Jordan snorted coldly: "You are not qualified to say this."

"What do you mean? You have never won a championship, and neither have I. Who is nobler than the other!"

Barkley and Jordan exchanged blows and then became the protagonist of the game.

Because the Blazers are afraid of Liu Yuqing's touch, as long as he is standing on the outside, his defender dare not move an inch.

Liu Yuqing and Barkley have long developed an excellent understanding of the game.

Whenever Barkley gets the ball in the low post, Liu Yuqing is always standing opposite him.

If the Blazers didn't dare to double-team, they would have to let Barkley devour Clifford Robinson alone.

So, Barkley started playing.

Jordan, who returned to the second position, also unleashed his offensive ability, responding with a pull-up jumper after holding the ball continuously and getting a shot.

The Trail Blazers didn't give up on locking down Barkley.

Since Liu Yuqing can't let it go, then others can always let it go, such as Dumas, who just came on the stage?

Dumars also hit an open jump shot.

Olajuwon then responded with a low post.

Then, the Blazers chose Wilson to sell short like they were crazy.

This was something that even Louis on the sidelines didn't expect.

Wilson didn't even ask for the ball, he just stood there, and then Barkley passed the ball out.

The livid conqueror finally got angry and directly shot a three-pointer.

Louis on the sidelines did not forget to add fuel to the fire, "Benj, if I were you, I couldn't help but dare to let you go. This is really the most disrespectful defensive arrangement I can think of."

Wilson's eyes were filled with anger, "I want them to pay back double the amount!"

Jordan tried a pull-up three-pointer, but missed.

Olajuwon grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Jordan who cut inside.

Jordan took off with the ball and flashed in the air, causing Garnett to foul and get a layup.

This is a 2+1.

Garnett is out of breath and looks tired?

It's no wonder that there is only more than a minute left in the first quarter. From the beginning to the present, he will certainly be tired. Despite his young age, he has the heaviest defensive task among the starting five.

Louis called up Rodman, "Dennis, get ready to replace Jasmine."

"Okay!" Rodman responded.

Louis asked again: "Do you know what I want you to do?"

"Just do what that brat did."

"Do you really know what Jasmine did on the field?"

"It's nothing complicated, just run with the defender, protect rebounds, defend and so on."

If anyone else had given such a hasty answer, Louis would definitely not trust it.

But Rodman is different.

This guy who was unanimously voted by the players as the "dirtiest guy in active service" is simply a combination of Laimbeer (dirty and hateful) and Buck Williams (defense and rebounding), not to mention his golf IQ.

Excellent.

Louis absolutely believes in Rodman in the playoffs.

Facts have proved that Louis did not trust the wrong person.

After Rodman came on the court, the Lakers did not lose any defensive rebounds and got an extra offensive opportunity on the offensive end.

And, at the end of the first quarter, Rodman did something that had a profound impact on the situation.

At this time, the Blazers blindly increased the intensity, which ultimately had the effect of restricting Liu Yuqing.

Liu Yuqing is no longer as magical as she was at the beginning, and the Lakers' offense has gradually shifted to the two core players of Barkley and Wilson.

For the last shot of the first quarter, the Lakers decided to hand it over to Wilson.

Wilson looked coldly, pointed at Jordan and said: "Mitch, if you don't want us to score 40 points in a single quarter, you'd better guard me yourself."

What a arrogant Benjamin!

All Trail Blazers fans in the Rose Garden were furious.

Immediately, Wilson called for a pick-and-roll at position 2, causing Jordan to switch defenses. Then, after a series of dribbling moves, he disintegrated Jordan's defense at the last second, stopped suddenly, retreated, and shot a jumper.

Buzzer hit!

There were loud boos at the scene, and Wilson thought it was the Portland man who had broken through his defense. As a result, right in front of his eyes, behind Jordan, the situation between Rodman and Robinson changed from pure physical contact to a physical conflict.

Rodman was seen hooking Robinson's neck with his right hand, trying to give the opponent a choke-hold finishing move on the spot.

Robinson, who lost his mind, elbowed Rodman backwards to break away, then turned into a beast and pounced on his opponent.

Louis looked at Rodman's pace and immediately guessed what this bad guy wanted to do.

"Molly!" Louis called to Garnett, "Watch out, Dennis will only demonstrate once on how to attack the opponent's mentality on the court!"

Kevin Garnett's eyes widened as he saw Rodman pointing at Robinson's nose, spitting, and swearing, and finally made the opponent go berserk and threw a heavy punch, but was blocked by his hands.

Block.

From this point on, in less than ten seconds, Robinson took shots in an unorganized manner. Rodman fought and blocked, scolded and retreated. The scene seemed to be losing momentum, but the person who really collapsed was Robinson.

He is like a beast locked in an octagonal cage for a life-or-death duel, with only the instinct to fight.

The audience had no doubt that if Rodman was caught, he would beat him to death on the spot with his fists.

Rodman, who has experienced many battles, knows that he will win without a fight, so there is no need to fight with the opponent, as long as he maintains this rhythm.

Robinson chased Rodman from under the basket to beyond the three-point line and then to the sidelines.

When a teammate ran up from behind and shouted "calm down", Robinson, who had no idea what "calm down" meant, threw an uppercut at the man without distinguishing friend or foe.

BANG!!!

The man was hit in the head and fell to the ground unconscious.

Louis could clearly see that 20 years ago, his close friend Rudy Tomjanovich was punched out of his brains like this.

It's just that the opponent can still say that he killed his opponent, and Robinson killed Rex Chapman with this punch...

...Huh? Are their own people beating their own people?

That's okay.
