Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 160 Annoying!There is no reason at all!McMillan: The mentality is broken.
Director Zhang said with a smile: "As expected of this year's regular season MVP, Durant suspended the Blazers by relying on his personal ability."

Yu Jia commented: "If the Blazers' starting lineup can't gain an advantage, it will be miserable when the two sides compete with the bench. The Sonics rank first in the league in scoring from the bench, and the Blazers are probably not opponents."

McMillan used the timeout to make lineup adjustments. He did not take the defensive striker Outlaw, but replaced Przybilla in a compromise, and put Channing Frye, a 2-meter insider who can shoot three-pointers, on the field. Choose the latter between strengthening defense and offense.

The main reason that prompted McMillan to make this decision was that the Blazers were not much behind, and only scored 11 points in the half quarter. There was obviously a problem with the offensive firepower.The regular season has proved more than once that it is difficult to beat the Sonics with defense, unless the Sonics players have problems with their own offense.

McMillan knew that if he wanted to defeat the Sonics, he could only strengthen the offense while doing his best to defend. This was the only beam of light in the darkness for the Blazers.

After the Blazers made substitutions, the inside mobility and offense became stronger.

Freila can shoot 33.3-pointers from the perimeter, and his [-]% efficiency in the regular season is not bad. Although Noah also has strong mobility and is not afraid of being pulled out of the perimeter by the opponent, the Blazers lineup still makes him quite defensive. For uncomfortable.

One minute later, Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and made adjustments, replacing Noah and Szczerbiak with Landry and Teletovic.

Landry is a standard power forward with strong athletic ability. Playing him as a center can greatly improve the mobility of the Sonics. It is perfect for dealing with Frye's "pseudo center".

Anyway, neither of them is good at protecting the frame and rebounding, and neither of them can say that they are at a disadvantage. They are fighting for mobility and offense.

After Taylor Tovic came on the scene, his long shot further liberated Durant's offensive pressure.When Adu holds the ball in the middle, he can choose to attack by himself, or he can go to Teletovic's side to break through, divide the ball when he attracts double teams, and play singles when no one is double-teaming, and the pressure drops suddenly.

Szczerbiak is a semi-all-round power forward. He can shoot three-pointers, but his accuracy is not as good as Teletovic.Teletovic's debut put the Blazers in trouble again on the defensive end. They knew very well what happened to Durant's double-teaming. Without the order of the head coach, the players dared not make their own claims.

It is very simple for Durant to single out Fernandez one-on-one. Breaking through the frame with an emergency stop jumper is an opportunity. The advantages in height and wingspan can ensure that he will not be blocked.

The Supersonic lineup directly filled the offense and mobility, and the Blazers could not double-team.

In the positional battle, Landrella went out to cover and then made an air cut. The strong core strength was relaxed and happy to eat Frye alone, and he felt like Kenyon Martin.

After the first quarter, 33 to 25, the Sonics led by 8 points.

In the second quarter, the Supersonic positional battle is still based on shooting, and they will make fast breaks when they have the opportunity.

Dragic, Neal, Batum, Teletovic, and Gasol can all shoot three-pointers. As long as the cross screen creates a little space, these guys don't hesitate. All are bold.

In order to play the ultimate offensive firepower, Tucker and Bunch Wells can only sit on the bench to watch the game, and it is not yet time for them to perform.

Fernandez took a break for more than 3 minutes in the first quarter, and McMillan let him continue to play at this moment, facing Batum.

However, Batum is a low-key rookie in the Sonics, but his defense is not bad.The main defense, Fernandez, did a good job, and he was disturbed by several extreme defenses. His mature and stable style made him look like a rookie.

Five minutes later, with the three-point firepower of Neal and Teletovic, the Sonics expanded the point difference to 5 points.

The Blazers' second-team rush was completely suppressed. Only backup point guard Jerry Bayless hit a three-pointer.

Seeing that the trend of the game is getting more and more unfavorable, McMillan can only change back to the main force one after another.

Seeing this, Lu Yong also took advantage of the dead ball to make substitutions. Szczerbiak replaced Taylor Tovic, Durant came on to replace Batum, "Martial Saint" Jackson replaced Dragic, and Neil cameo No. [-] bit.

The offensive power of this lineup is stronger than that of the starting lineup. They can shoot from the 1st to the 5th position, and they can create good shooting opportunities by running around at will.

McMillan still didn't dare to replace Przybilla, his offense was so poor that he seriously hindered the team.

However, although Frye's offensive firepower and space are good, as a 2-meter inside player, his ability to protect the penalty area and rebound is ridiculously poor.

This season, Frye averaged only 2.2 rebounds and 0.3 blocks per game, not as good as the two-meter-tall PJ-Tucker, who played the role of a space-based insider to the extreme, and fell down when he hit the basket.

In order to protect the penalty area, power forward Aldridge can only observe the defense line in advance, doing two jobs by himself, and he is exhausted.

At halftime, 67 to 49, the Sonics led by 18 points.

The nearly 20-point lead made the two teams look completely out of the same level. It was hard to imagine that this was the point difference in the division finals, and the Blazers fans in front of the TV were dumbfounded.

In the second half, Lu Yong widened the rotation of the lineup to give more playing time to the substitute players to prevent the main players from being injured in the game with a big lead.

McMillan anxiously stood on the sidelines and kept directing. The huge point difference made him feel anxious, so he could only deploy the team's strongest offensive lineup and made a decision to abandon defense.

As a result, the Blazers' poor defense awareness and frame protection allowed the Sonics to seize the opportunity. "Martial Saint" Jackson broke out in this quarter, scoring 13 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the team to a wave of climax.

97 to 72, the Sonics led by 25 into the final quarter.

In the first half of the final quarter, Lu Yong took down all five main players, and relying on the performance of the second team was enough to stabilize the situation.

With more than 5 minutes left in the game, the Blazers were still 21 points behind, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, 122 to 96, the Sonics won the first game of the Western Conference finals, which directly smoothed the Blazers' petty temper.

超音速全队7人得分上双，杜兰特出战33分钟，砍下35分6篮板3助攻1盖帽，得分全场最高。

诺阿13分12篮板5助攻2封盖、“武圣”杰克逊16分5篮板2助攻、斯泽比亚克19分4篮板1抢断，都有不俗表现。

Landry, who came off the bench, also played well this time. He played 22 minutes, scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, made 8 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 free throws, and contributed two top-five goals dunk.

Landry's most exciting goal was a fast-break counterattack to receive a pass from the boss and a dunk in the air. Tomorrow, it will definitely be popular all over the Internet, and fans will find it many times to watch.

After the game, McMillan and Lu Yong shook hands and sent a few words of blessing feebly.

Although they only played one game in the Western Conference Finals, McMillan was already discouraged, knowing that the Blazers were probably no match for the Supersonics, and it would be lucky to win a game in the series.

The most irritating thing is that Lu Yong is much more relaxed than him sitting on the sidelines, drinking water or chatting with assistant coaches, and occasionally snatching buckets of popcorn from fans in the back row to eat.

On the other hand, he stood on the sidelines and directed the whole process, sweating profusely in a hurry. In the end, the team lost 26 points, and his mentality collapsed. It was unreasonable!
