Under Roy's leadership, the Trail Blazers stabilized their position and did not allow the Raptors to play a highlight in their substitute. Prichard's lineup adjustment once again showed his effect.

When Roy and Xue Ding were allowed to play together, Roy's role was greatly weakened, the speed defect was amplified, and other abilities were not very likely to be displayed.

But as a substitute or sixth man, he is basically the sixth man with the biggest brand in the current service. As a head coach, he has a lot of psychological pressure. Although Roy has always had a clear attitude in this regard, he can do whatever he wants for the team's victory.

But after all, high salary is one aspect for management, attitude is one aspect, but the most fundamental thing is that you have to show performance that suits your value.

Substitutes mean a decrease in playing time, which is directly linked to data performance, so many teams' main players are likely to have irreconcilable conflicts with the head coach due to the question of whether they can start.

Although the Trail Blazers do not have this problem now, it is also based on the fact that the team can win, without a record, everything is empty talk.

Seeing Roy's performance, head coach Prichard was relieved.

The score was 52:54, and the Trail Blazers led by two points at home, ending the first half.

"Guide Zhang, the first half was very exciting. Both teams played very well, but Xue Ding's attacks were significantly reduced, and the assists were relatively more than usual. Moreover, Roy changed from starting to substitute, and he made personnel adjustments in a game. What do you think about these two points?"

"Xue Ding's role has changed now. Obviously, Prichard asked Xue Ding to play the role of the entire team as a brain. Originally, Xue Ding was the organizer's guard, but because of his style of play, he has been criticized for being criticized. This can be regarded as a return to his original position, but Xue Ding's style must be offensive, that is, the positioning of a double-energy guard."

"Yes, in terms of the game style that Xue Ding left for everyone before, the offense is very sharp. In terms of connecting the team, Roy is on the court to do these things. Now all these things are left to him. Will there be any disadvantages?"

"Nothing is completely good or bad. The key is that it is suitable. This is very suitable for Xue Ding, because he is very front-line, but there were too many casualties in the team before, so he had to take on the heavy responsibility of offense, so he gave everyone the impression that he only knows how to attack. In fact, this is wrong. As a person with a very high ball quotient, he must be all-round and top-notch, because winning a game is not just about offense."

"Yes, so Prichard is still very courageous. In order to win, he directly put Roy on the bench. Will this bring any hidden dangers?"

"It depends on Xue Ding. We have a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. This is the reason. The Trail Blazers actually have two bosses now, one is spiritual, that is Roy, and the other is Xue Ding, who leads the team to sing forward. Fortunately, Xue Ding and Roy have both had a good relationship and don't care much about these things, but this trend is inevitable. The key lies in whether Xue Ding can maintain a good state in a stable manner for a long time."

"In other words, as long as Xue Ding's strength continues to improve or maintains a peak, is this a natural thing?"

"Yes, that's it. I'm very optimistic about Xue Ding. His future achievements will definitely be higher than those of Yao."

"Teacher Zhang, I also have such expectations. The second half of the game has begun. Let's pay attention to Xue Ding's wonderful performance."

...

The Raptors personnel made adjustments, Barnicea, Amir Johnson, and Jack, Calderon.

The Raptors' ball rights, Caldera dribbled the ball after halftime, and handed the ball directly to Tekoglu. Facing Fernandez's defense, Tekoglu dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, and the rhythm was not very fast, but between the changes in the rhythm, he easily passed Fernandez, making a mid-range shot, tied the score, 54:54.

Fernandez is a very active player, with very active running position, not very strong physical strength, but fast speed. Such characteristics are facing a rhythm master like Tekeglu, and he suffers a lot in defense.

Xue Ding dribbled through half the game, and the inside was entangled. Amir Johnson and Ade both entangled their arms, and Bosh kept turning back and did not give Chandler a comfortable chance to catch the ball.

Fernandez ran from the bottom corner to the high position, and the man in Jim took advantage of the situation and caught Calderon with a pick-and-roll. Xue Ding passed the ball at the first time, and Fernandez took the ball and took the open position.

"Clang", a iron was hit.

Bosh received the rebound, Xue Ding retreated immediately, not giving the Raptors a chance to counterattack quickly. Calderon pushed the ball through half and continued to hand the ball to Tekeglu. He ran to the bottom corner himself, took away the cockscomb man, and opened up the space.

Tekeglu broke through and Amir Johnson stuck Ade tightly, not giving him the opportunity to step forward to make up for defense. Tekeglu made a jump shot easily again and performed very stably.

After halfway through the dribble, Xue Ding chose to pass the ball without hesitation against Jimcom and Fernandez's pick-and-roll running. After Fernandez received the ball, he took the ball decisively without hesitation and took action from outside the three-point line.

After hitting the iron again, Calderon quickly pushed the ball and made a quick progress. Just after halftime, both sides were not firmly in their footholds, and raised his hand from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

Xue Ding raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, no need to worry. After the dribble was halfway through, Fernandez ran out of the open position, Xue Ding passed the ball at the first time without hesitation, and was not shaken by his teammate's iron spanking.

Fernandez caught the ball and made a move, surprisingly, he hit the iron again.

Xue Ding shouted to defend and retreated immediately. Fernandez was still depressed, and was shouted by Xue Ding and quickly got rid of his sluggish emotions.

Calderon broke through Fernandez and rushed to the inside. Adr's speed was a bit slow. Before he could get in place, Boshka stopped Chandler and Xue Ding quickly made up for defense. Calderon immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner Tekeglu, who raised his hand and made a three-pointer and hit again.

With a score of 62:54, the Raptors scored a 10:2 climax and achieved an 8-point lead.

Prichard did not call for a timeout and gave the situation on the field completely to Xue Ding.

Xue Ding passed the half, Jimcom and Fernandez crossed the ball, and Chandler and Bosh kept tangling around and backwards.

Amika Johnson's defense was more thorough, with only Ade in his eyes, and he didn't even look at the ball, and he kept pestering people tightly.
