D'Antoni looked at the group of panting men and didn't know what to say. This embarrassment had almost lasted for the whole season, and the Lakers' tactics could not be played, and that would have happened in one or two days.

After losing Kobe, Howard undoubtedly became the only core under D'Antoni. But now, this core is in a very low mood and does not communicate with anyone.

This coach knows that Howard will definitely not appear on the Lakers' roster next season, unless the Lakers are willing to give up Kobe. However, such a thing is simply impossible to survive.

For a core player who only thinks about leaving the team, what else can the head coach give him more arrangements? The 13-point gap is not big, and the game has just played in the first quarter. But for the Lakers today, the 13-point gap is very difficult to fill.

"Paul." D'Antoni thought for a while, and finally called out the name he hadn't called out for a long time.

Gasol looked at D'Antoni in shock and confirmed that the old man with a mustache was calling him. You know, after a season, D'Antoni almost marginalized Gasol, and the relationship between Gasol and D'Antoni was also very stiff. If it weren't for Kobe, Gasol might have had a long time ago.

But now, when the team is in danger, D'Antoni did not call Howard or his favorite disciple Nash, but called Gasol.

Seeing Gasol staring at him blankly, D'Antoni was also a little embarrassed. He increased the volume and shouted Gasol's name again.

"What...what, coach." Gasol replied hesitantly.

"In the second quarter, I want you to get close to the penalty area to attack. I believe that at the low post, even Lamarcus can't stop you. Nash, Blake, conducts basketball with Gasol as the center. I need you to play more efficiently and tie the score as soon as possible!" D'Antoni immediately drew on the tactical board, but he did not play any running and bombing again this time, nor did he rely on Howard anymore. Instead, he regarded Gasol as the core of the offensive for the first time!

Howard, who had originally buried his head deeply, suddenly felt spirited when he heard D'Antoni's arrangement. D'Antoni's meaning was very obvious. He was completely disappointed with Howard's performance!

"Damn!" Howard clenched his fists. He, who once had the supreme position in the Magic, is now despised by all parties in the Lakers. At such a critical moment, he was abandoned by the team's head coach. Howard's unwillingness and anger once again surged in his heart. In addition, Gasol, who has regained his core position, the Trail Blazers' inside line will probably be very lively later.

The second quarter started as scheduled, and fans in the Rose Garden jumped in the stands, seemingly starting to celebrate the victory of the Trail Blazers in advance.

Meyers Leonard and J.J. Hickson took the lead in the second quarter instead of Angel and Aldridge. Seeing this, D'Antoni seemed to see a glimmer of hope. If Gasol plays well, the Lakers are very likely to bring back the decline before Angel and Aldridge play!

"Give me a fierce attack on Paul! Attack in the position you like!" The tall Spain No. 16 is the only life-saving straw in D'Antoni's hand. Seeing that the Trail Blazers were sending substitute players to partner with the inside, this mustache man was even more fortunate.

"Gasol played at the beginning of the second quarter?" Ricard couldn't help feeling a little strange when he saw Gasol stepping into the stadium.

Gasol's physical fitness has always been one of his shortcomings. Usually, the Spaniard will take a break at the beginning of the second quarter. But now, D'Antoni has brought this guy up.

"I remember D'Antoni didn't seem to like Paul very much." Divac was also very puzzled.

"When I help you, D'Antoni can't help you according to your own preferences. An, prepare to go on stage. This Gasol is not a formality."

As soon as Ricard finished speaking, Gasol scored a goal in front of the inexperienced Meyers Leonard.

Gasol fell to the low post as the fifth position to play, which many people did not expect. Lakers forward Antoine Jamison, who partnered with Gasol in the inside, happened to be able to shoot, so he could also open up space for Gasol.

Although Meyers Leonard learned a lot with Angel's training, it was still a bit difficult to let him deal with Gasol alone without assistance.

"It's true. D'Antoni is planning to use Gasol as the offensive core. This guy seems to be helpless." Ricard smiled. If the Lakers' solution to the problem is just to let Gasol attack the inside, then D'Antoni would have to be disappointed. Because the inside is precisely the most solid part of the Trail Blazers' defensive end. It's just that in the past few minutes, it has a small gap.

In the subsequent game, Gasol scored consecutively in front of Leonard. Until the score was chased to be only 8 points away, Ricard called a timeout slowly. The proud D'Antoni thought it was Gasol who stopped the Trail Blazers.

"Ann, La Marcus. Let those guys from the Lakers experience what a truly excellent inside offense is!" Ricard did not even make any arrangements for his tactics against Gasol. He believed that as long as these two people were brought up, the Lakers' momentum would be completely destroyed.

Anjie smirked and fisted with Aldridge. In the first quarter, Anjie's task was to open up space for his teammates and provide cover, so he didn't take many shots.

But now, Ricard's meaning is very simple, which is to make him and Aldridge score!

"Paul! Keep playing as you just now! Don't be afraid of the Trail Blazers' inside double towers. I believe you can do as good as you just now!" D'Antoni was also trying his best to stabilize the morale that Gasol had just played. Gasol dares to play first, so that the Lakers will have hope of turning the tables.

At the same time, Dwight Howard can't wait to come on the court to prove himself again. Howard will make them regret the opponent's disdain and the coach's distrust!

A fight between inside players has been completed.

Since Ricard's tactic is to hit the ball to the inside, the person who is now in charge of the rhythm on the court has become Derek Fischer.

Fischer knows better than Lillard when to get the ball and when to change his playing style. With an experienced point guard on the court, Angel and Aldridge don't have to worry about catching the ball.

During this attack, Anger was still standing near the free throw line, while Aldridge hit the low post.

Although such an offensive position is a bit unusual, it has not appeared before. Gasol and Howard dare not slacken. God knows what cooperation these two tacit guys will play.

Steve Blake was extremely immature in front of Fischer. He tried to take advantage of Fischer's slow footing shortcomings several times, but he was blocked by Fischer with his strong body.

Fischer was safely transporting the ball to the outside of the three-point line. Without hesitation, he directly passed the ball with a hit, allowing Anjie, who had already got the position, to get the basketball.

Howard tried his best to open his strong arms. An Jie had just played with him in a high position. The Warcraft didn't want this kind of thing to be the second time.

However, Anjie did not let the basketball stay in his hands for too long. He immediately took the ball after receiving the ball, allowing Aldridge to stand up to Gasol at a low position.

"Coward, do you want to escape?" Howard thought it was his tight defense that made An Jie give up the idea of ​​attacking, but the next second, An Jie suddenly sprinted and passed by Howard.

Anger's off-ball run was very successful, but Howard didn't think that Aldridge could cooperate with Anger in such a small space.

Under Gasol's interference, Aldridge wanted to send the ball to Anger, but there was only one way to do it in the air relay. If Aldridge dared to pass the air relay under Gasol's interference, Howard was confident that he could receive the basketball before Anger.

Just when Howard was secretly proud, the orange-red basketball rebounded from the ground and came to An Jie's hands!

"What!?" Howard widened his eyes. The ball actually bounced in through Gasol's body. Could it be?

"Oh my God! Beautiful pass through the crotch! Gasol did cover Aldridge well, but he couldn't pay attention to his crotch! Ann caught the ball and Dwight bit him tightly!" Mike Bryn looked at the field with all his attention. A perfect attack was just short of Anger's last dunk.

Howard jumped higher than Angel, but Angel's arm span made Howard unable to touch the basketball. In the end, Angel's hands were the first to dunk the ball into the basket. Howard failed to complete the chase, and only endless humiliation was met.

"It's so fucking beautiful!" After the ball entered, Aldridge patted Anjie's chest hard. Anjie whistled to the sky, looking like a crazy beast.

On the big screen on the scene, the pass through the crotch and heavy buttons were played over and over again. This is the cooperation of Angel and Aldridge, which is the most offensive inside combination in the league.

"It's been a long time since I was gone. The cooperation that has disappeared for a long time in the regular season finally reappears in the playoffs! The Trail Blazers are already very strong, and after Aldridge returns, they are stronger than before!"

"Continue the offense, continue!" D'Antoni did not intend to immerse his players in a huge sense of frustration. The hoarse mustache shouted at the top of his lungs on the sidelines, hoping that the Lakers would immediately devote themselves to the offense.

The Lakers' offense is still hit by Gasol, but when Gasol holds the ball frame, he now defends himself has become the biggest threat to the Trail Blazers - Anjie.

The momentum that Angel exuded was much stronger than Meyers Leonard. Just by lying his teeth and claws in front of Gasol, he had put a lot of pressure on Gasol.

Gasol was not timid, but chose to push his back. However, unlike before, Angel did not move at all!

Continuing to chop back will only waste your energy and time. Gasol immediately gave up the idea of ​​hitting back. He hooked his sideways, intending to end the attack with a hook.

However, the pressure brought by Anjie's full swing still made Gasol lose his rhythm. This hook turned away from the basket and Gasol failed to continue scoring.

At this moment, Howard risked the foul and jumped high and snatched the offensive rebound from behind Aldridge.

If it were Angel, he would definitely take the opportunity to take the opportunity and let Howard foul on his back. But Aldridge didn't know these tricks.

"Dwight jumped so high! He still got the rebound when he was unfavorable!"

After Howard took the rebound, he jumped and walked over to Aldridge to the basket, preparing to start a second jump and dunk to score.

A beautiful second attack will definitely help you win back a lot of face. Howard is fully capable of venting all the aggrievances in his heart through this ball.

However, just when he was about to dunk the ball and was about to be proud, the basketball that was placed above his head was shot away by a powerful force!

The basketball broke out of Howard's control, and it hit the rebound hard, and rebounded vigorously.

Iguodala seized the initiative and won the final control of the basketball. Howard looked around him and it was indeed Anjie again!

"I defended Gasol and Dwight's attacks continuously, and An completely dominated the penalty area! This guy has completely locked the Lakers' inside attack!" Continuous defense, flexible replacement, fierce and accurate blocking. An Jie's excellent qualities on the defensive end are simply unmatched.

Since there was no Lillard, the Trail Blazers did not play in a fast break either. However, through another cooperation between Angel and Aldridge, Angel still easily completed a close shot on Howard's head.

D'Antoni, who had hope for the game, suddenly fell to the bench. Anjie's defense and offense seemed to have crushed the last fantasy of the bearded man. The two strongest cards under his hands were defeated by Anjie.

How else can the Lakers play? D'Antoni doesn't know. Sometimes the gap in hard power cannot be made up for by several tactics. But Anjie will not feel pity for this.
Chapter completed!
