After the second quarter starts.

The Lakers began to play smoothly, and the Trail Blazers were too tired to deal with it.

No matter how the lineup tactics change, the players will eventually execute it.

The talent and strength of Trail Blazers are far behind that of the Lakers.

As the game time goes by, their flaws will be infinitely amplified.

Xue Ding felt the oppression of this top-level defense for the first time.

This is a situation that Xue Ding had never encountered before. For the first time in his career, he experienced the feeling of a very strong opponent, and his struggle seemed to be unable to stop it.

Roy couldn't solve the current dilemma of the Trail Blazers.

Slowly, the Lakers' inside and the Lakers' outside began to rush.

Kobe and Fisher made long-distance shots one after another.

The Trail Blazers players are trapped in a vicious circle of iron-breaking.

Xue Ding started to fight more and more urgently, and then the more impatient he became, the more likely he was to make mistakes and make mistakes many times.

Roy and Adr scored a sporadic singles.

In the second quarter, the situation between the two teams instantly reversed.

The Lakers scored 33-19 in a single quarter.

At the end of the first half, the score was 47 to 57.

The Trail Blazers were 10 points behind the defending champion away.

Halftime data:

Trail Blazers: Xue Ding scored 12 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 6 mistakes, Pulbizla scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, Aldridge scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and Roy scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Lakers: Gasol scored 13 points and 4 rebounds, Artest scored 6 points, Bynum scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, Kobe scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and Odom scored 6 points and 3 rebounds.

"If the Trail Blazers continue to fight like this, the winning streak will be ended by the Lakers."

"The Trail Blazers played at the beginning of the first half, but it was completely out of the way in the second quarter."

"I miss Oden. Today, the Trail Blazers were hit hard in the interior. The Lakers didn't have many three-pointers, and many of them were hitting the interior, either free throws or scored."

"Yes, Ade has already committed four bounces, and Roy has also been cut off by the Lakers."

"Xue Ding's mistakes are really eye-catching. These mistakes are quite hurtful."

"If it's 1010 in the half, if it's the inside, the cliff is worth tens of millions of yuan. Unfortunately, this is Xue Ding's data, so we'll get used to it."

Fans also analyzed Xue Ding's situation.

Xue Ding made 20 shots in the first half, setting a career high, but only hit 5 goals, with a shooting percentage of only 25%.

McMillan looked at Xue Ding who was constantly breathing, feeling helpless.

Xue Ding's mistakes in the first half were all due to his bold passes.

Xue Ding's passing is not a big problem. He is all the passes after breaking through to attract defense. Although the pass is good, the rhythm between his teammates and him is obviously not on the same frequency. In addition, his luck is average, so there are naturally more mistakes.

As for the hit rate, everyone only saw the number of times Xue Ding took action, but they didn't see that it was almost all obtained by him grabbing offensive rebounds. In the whole first half, Xue Ding had as many as 7 frontcourt rebounds.

Fans may not understand, but the Trail Blazers all know Xue Ding’s role on the court!!

At least with Xue Ding, everyone can have little worries when they take action.

Xue Ding's rebounding ability is very reliable.

Sitting on the stool in the locker room, Xue Ding kept biting the banana and drinking Gatorade.

Back to back has a great influence on him.

The Trail Blazers and the Lakers in their previous life were not on the same level.

The Lakers' strength is far beyond what the Trail Blazers in the current lineup can compare.

If the Trail Blazers' full lineup is available, it can be 50% off.

But now that there are so many people missing, this opponent is still very difficult.

Roy's wardrobe was next to Xue Ding. He looked at Xue Ding silently and walked over.

"Xue, do you feel the pressure?"

Xue Ding looked up at Roy. Roy performed normally in the first half, but he was not as impatient as himself.

"Yeah, a little bit."

"The Lakers are very strong, and their inside line is also very strong. I'll find a way to deal with them. There are 24 minutes left in the game. We have enough time, so don't give up easily."

"kindness."

Roy didn't say much about the crazy-encouraging chicken soup, but Xue Ding understood what he meant.

The boss Roy is very heartwarming and takes good care of Xue Ding.

Xue Ding also believes that as long as the game is not over, everything can happen on the stadium.

The two are very similar.

locker room.

10 points behind the defending champion away game was enough to make McMillan feel that his arrangement in the second quarter was a failure.

The morale of the Trail Blazers players was a little depressed.

Looking at this scene, McMillan was also quite helpless.

Back to back, the main force was injured, and fell behind in the half, and the momentum was suppressed.

It looks like the second half is defeated.

McMillan said to Roy: "Branton, you can change the next game in the second half. Xue, you can rest in the second half, Steve will go first."

"Yeah." Roy nodded.

The Trail Blazers are going to use their last trump card.

Superstars are just unreasonable.

Xue Ding was still a little unwilling to accept the coach's arrangements.

Although he wanted to say something else, hesitated and still didn't say anything. The second half of the action was the best explanation.

Even if Xue Ding has many reasons.

The second quarter's shooting percentage is too low and there are too many mistakes, which has had a huge impact on the team.

It’s not that McMillan didn’t give Xue Ding a chance, but Xue Ding didn’t even grasp it.

At this time, McMillan chose to believe Roy first.

He is planning to regain the lineup style from last season first to see if he can recover it.

Compared to Xue Ding's inefficiency, Roy's performance is much more efficient.

Then the point guard sent a traditional point guard like Steve Blake to avoid affecting Roy's ending and holding the ball.

Roy's first half was very normal.

7 of 10 shots, the number of shots was twice as low as Xue Ding, but the score was more than Xue Ding...

It is undeniable that Xue Ding's existence and a large number of actions seriously hindered Roy's performance.

At this moment, the morale was very low.

Roy also stood up in time and applauded.

He spoke in a very firm and powerful voice: "Guys, the game is not over yet, cheer me up. Think about it, it will be great to see us here on the Internet tomorrow!!!"

"Leave the second half of the game to me, Aldridge, Xue, we're going to attack wildly."

Everyone looked at Roy.

No matter how many Trail Blazers fall, as long as Roy is still there, the Trail Blazers will have hope of winning.

In the past, Roy has proved it many times.

“OK.”

Roy's confidence infected the players, and everyone began to come out of this dull atmosphere.

Xue Ding also nodded solemnly and said actively:

"The first half was my problem, and I will play more cautiously in the second half to make sure we continue to win."

Xue Ding said he took the blame.

Xue Ding had never encountered such a difficult situation.

Roy has experienced a lot, and he knows what to do at this time.

Xue Ding also learned from Roy how to lead a team.
