Chapter 300 Stand up and carry the whole team
Every score of Xue Ding must be accompanied by cheers from home fans, because in their minds, Xue Ding is their hero.
Xue Ding did not disappoint the fans' expectations. He frequently scored through his own breakthroughs and led the team to resist the Lakers' counterattack alone.
But after all, a general who was damaged in the interior was greatly affected both on the defensive and offensive ends, especially in the interior. Chandler was not as calm as before when facing the joint efforts of Gasol and Bynum.
Once the inside was suppressed, Kobe continued to use breakthroughs, and the mid-range shot broke the Trail Blazers' defense. Taking this opportunity, Famal hit a three-pointer in a row, tying the score in one fell swoop.
There are still 4 minutes and 12 seconds left, with a score of 72:72, and the two sides draw, but the situation on the field is gradually turning towards the Lakers.
McMillan immediately called a timeout, and the Lakers could not continue like this inside and outside.
First, a personnel adjustment was made, and the man in Jimko was replaced by Fernandez. At present, the only substitute center is allowed to be Huo Ershou. As an excellent blue-collar worker, Huo Ershou has a good central shot with a positive defensive attitude. Although his age is not the same, each of them in 206 is a little shorter, but he can help Chandler share the pressure on the inside.
Taking over the defensive man, who is focused on defense, and replacing Fernandez with better shooting ability, this is obviously necessary to strengthen the offensive rhythm.
Because of Ade's injury, the defensive system was affected. On the premise that the Lakers strengthened their offense, it would be obvious that it would be inappropriate to continue to curb the opponent through defense.
The only way out is to attack with the opponent.
Facing the Lakers led by Kobe, the top scorer in the league, McMillan is still so confident. There is no other reason, just because of Xue Ding's existence.
When Xue Dingyi saw the head coach's substitution adjustment, he also knew very well that it was time for him to do his best.
The game continued, Xue Ding dribbled the ball through the half, Batum and Fernandez first pulled the bottom corner and opened up the space, because the first start of the Trail Blazers' offense was Xue Ding, so he had to have open space to make a choice.
Chandler is still in the position of the defence against Bynum. Although Uncle Huo Er is not superior to Gasol, Uncle Huo Er's purpose is very clear and he doesn't watch the ball at all. He only has Gasol in his eyes, and he always entangles Gasol, even though he is already attacking.
Seeing the situation on the court and feeling the shouts of the fans, Xue Ding knew that everyone's hearts were the same. At such a moment, he had to stand up and lead the team forward.
The Lakers even realized that the current Trail Blazers, Xue Ding is the engine. As long as he is curbed, he will win half of the victory, so they directly replaced Shannon Brown, who is stronger and more physical, to defend Xue Ding.
Shannon Brown is a player with excellent athletic ability and often plays the role of a surprise weapon. At this time, he was used by the Zen master to defend Xue Ding, which also shows the Zen master's trust in him.
Xue Ding was carrying the ball, and Shannon Brown immediately posted it up, constantly seeking opportunities for physical contact.
Facing Xue Ding, who has super breakthrough ability, he still dares to adopt such a close fit. This is also because Shannon Brown, as a person with super athletic ability, is top-notch in terms of strength, bounce and speed.
When defending the opponent's main force, he had many experiences of being chased and blocked by him after the opponent had already broken through him.
So when facing Xue Ding, he was still as confident as he was not afraid that Xue Ding would pass him as soon as possible, because even if he passed, he believed that his speed could make up for it as well as bounce.
In addition, the task assigned by the Zen master was to use all means to consume Xue Ding.
Xue Ding knew the Lakers' tactics very well, which was to limit himself by using a defense with super physical fitness, release Kobe's attack power, and combine it with the advantages of the inside to reap the game.
However, what Xue Ding really wanted to tell the Zen master was that the tactics were perfect, but one thing was miscalculated. Facing the combatant ax, it is not certain who consumed it.
There were still 10 seconds left in the offensive time. Seeing that the Lakers' inside line were all carried by his teammates, Xue Ding turned to the left and right and passed the defense. He took a big step and jumped directly to the basket.
Shannon Brown rushed up from behind, bounced high, stretched his right hand and went towards the basketball that Xue Ding was holding with his right hand.
Xue Ding, who had stood up for half a step, was still gliding in the air. He grabbed the ball with one hand and turned into holding the ball with both hands. His body had already slipped from the highest point. Just when the ball was about to land, he thrust his waist and abdomen, and his hands were forward with a dunk hand. Brown, who jumped high from behind, had already floated by. After landing, he looked at Xue Ding hanging on the basket with an incredible face.
The follow-up, which I thought was sure to win, was resolved by Xue Ding in the air, but he didn't react for a while.
In fact, it was all a matter of a moment. Xue Ding jumped up in the air, reached the highest point, continued to slide, and completed this button by adjusting the strength of the waist and abdomen. Through slow motion replay, it gave people the feeling that through the strength of the waist and abdomen, Xue Ding stayed in the air for at least half a second more than Browndo, who jumped back.
This led to Shannon Brown's misjudgment. When he was about to take action at the highest point, Xue Ding was still in the air.
The fans at the scene cheered and kept cheering for Xue Ding in their own voices.
The Trail Blazers players also ran over to celebrate with Xue Ding with great excitement, and they all said that the goal just now was a great goal, and no one could match the ability to control the retention.
Perhaps it was Xue Ding's performance that stimulated Kobe. Under his leadership, the Lakers launched a crazy counterattack, first assisting Gasol to hit a mid-range shot, and then he successfully hit Xue Ding, making a super difficult backward mid-range shot. While scoring and taking into account the inside, he did not forget to give assists to the outside, assisting Famar to score three points in succession.
Xue Ding did not consider connecting the team at this time, because at such a high-pressure moment, as the core of the team, he had to withstand it first. No matter how reasonable the teammate's position was at this time, if he passed the ball like someone, he knew very well that his shooting percentage would definitely be affected.
Because at such a moment, the pressure is huge, and facing such pressure, the superstar has to face it.
Xue Ding stepped forward without hesitation, broke through, dunked, and occasionally passed the half, directly hitting a three-pointer, fighting against the entire Lakers team through one man's score.
After the third quarter, 91:88, the Trail Blazers fell three points behind.
