Evan Turner was humiliated by link''s spacer as soon as he came up.
Indeed, in most people''s minds, link is a technical player.
However, his physical quality is also very strong and unappealing.
Even if James and link fight each other hard, they can''t take advantage of it, let alone Evan Turner.
Turner defense is very positive, but the gap between the two sides is too big.
In the first round, link gave the Trail Blazers a bad start.
Sure enough, with the strength of the pioneers, relying on defense can not pose any threat to the Grizzlies.
The result of this game depends on the attack of Lillard and McCollam!
Portland''s backcourt double barreled again, and this time Lillard called Mayes Leonard to set up cover for himself.
Leonard can pull out of the three-point line after the screen, which can create space for Lillard to break through.
Lillard is very fast and starts "gearshift acceleration" as soon as he bypasses the screen.
Conley although very hard, but want to cover interference in the case of catching up with Lillard, it is a very difficult thing.
The No.0 defender in black went straight into the three second zone and was as calm as ever.
If it is against other teams, Lillard will definitely choose to attack directly. But in the face of Grizzlies... He knew it couldn''t be that simple.
After stepping into the restricted area, Lillard looked warily at his side. Sure enough, link has rushed at him!
Link was like a high-speed approaching fighter, two or three steps across to Lillard''s side.
"Damn it!" Lillard knows link too well. After all, he is a regular at link training camp.
He knew that link would not sit back and watch. So even if you break through, don''t think it''s all right.
Lillard didn''t choose to challenge link. He didn''t want to be eaten by link''s spicy hot pot.
This has always been indomitable No. 0 guard, was also wearing No. 0 link awed!
Lillard finally chose to pass the ball, and the target of the pass was Evan Turner, who was emptied by link.
Turner was standing outside the three-point line and hesitated, wondering whether to step in and get a two. After all, Turner still has a B-number on his three-point ability.
However, Turner did not dare to hesitate when he saw link turning the gun head and approaching rapidly.
No more hesitation, no chance! Link in the defensive end of the deterrent, is really frightening!
So, Evan Turner made a three-point shot before link came forward.
However, Turner''s three-point shooting rate of less than 30% is very stable.
Evan Turner''s three-point was still in the box when link didn''t interfere with the shot in time!
"No, the Blazers lost the attack again! Evan Turner got a great three-point chance, but unfortunately, he didn''t take it
Turner that chagrin ah, sure enough, the playoffs is a completely merciless stage!
In the playoffs, any of your shortcomings will be caught and magnified.
Turner believes that he will get a lot of open three-point opportunities later. However, he was not happy about this...
"shit!" Lillard clenched his teeth and was very reluctant.
Link''s coverage on the defensive end is almost the whole half court!
No matter where you are, he may appear and stop you from scoring.
This sense of oppression reminds Lillard of the playoffs in 2015.
It was the last year that the Grizzlies created the dynasty of three consecutive titles. In the second round of the series, the trailblazers, who just finished the reversal after being 1-3 behind, met the unbeatable Grizzlies.
Everyone thought tough Blazers would make trouble for the Grizzlies. As a result, Lillard was limited by link and Conley in that series.
For several games in a row, his shooting percentage was under 30%, and his score was not above 20.
Lillard thought he would no longer feel desperate because of the Grizzlies'' defense. After all, he didn''t feel that way last season.
But now he found that he was wrong.
Two years later, he still can''t break through link''s defense!
The Blazers failed again, but the Grizzlies didn''t miss the chance to open the score.
In this attack, link broke through the ball, attracting defensive assists and Gasol''s bottom corner three-point hit.
Although the grizzly bear is playing the ancient double tower lineup, but the ability to open space is no worse than the warriors.
If you don''t help, link can kill the pioneers. Assist defense, Gasol and Jokic''s three points are not blocked.
At the beginning of the game, the Blazers seemed to be in a dead end.
At both ends of the attack and defense, they have no strength to fight back!Terry stotz knows Grizzlies are tough to deal with, and he has made a lot of preparations for it.
But now he finds that people underestimate the power of Grizzlies!
This year''s so-called most fierce first round in history has nothing to do with Grizzlies...
after that, the pioneers fell into a vicious circle of iron making and failed continuously.
Grizzlies defense can be said to be watertight, even if it does leak, there is also link this super mending defense expert to wipe the bottom.
The pioneers did not get a chance, but every time, they were solved by link who arrived in time.
Evan Turner is very self reproach now, but if his scoring threat can be a little bigger, the Blazers will not be so passive.
He was ignored by link again and again, and link let him go to make up for others without fear.
Even so, Turner did not score.
He can''t score, and link will be more unscrupulous to defend others.
Stepping into the playoffs, facing the Grizzlies, Turner felt very weak.
It''s not a fight he can control at all!
The Grizzlies kept beating the Blazers 12-0, forcing stotz to call a pause.
After pausing back, Lillard broke through and caused Gasol to foul and get two free throws, which allowed the Blazers to break the scoring shortage.
"The Blazers still don''t have athletic scores, they can''t adapt to the Grizzlies'' playoff level defense."
Hobby Brown turned his lips. This game, no, is the end of the series. It''s almost a dead end.
Stotts wants to fight the Grizzlies with two guns in the back field, which may work in the regular season.
But in the playoffs, it seems that defense is not as important as before, but it directly determines how far a team can go.
Good defense, no obvious shortcomings, will not be caught by the other side hit the pain.
Over the years, the general champion, randomly selected out of the basic defensive strong team.
No matter how fierce the sun''s attack was, could it not rush out of the west?
Although the warriors attack is very terrible, but their defense has always been the top five level of the league.
The Blazers didn''t have a good enough defense to decide that they would not have a high cap in the playoffs.
This kind of team, is impossible to cause the Grizzlies the trouble.
Sure enough, Lillard''s two free throws didn''t change anything. The Grizzlies continued to hold down the Blazers, and the game was completely one-sided.
Let grizzly bear skin off? Is the difference within 10?
It doesn''t exist.
In the ninth minute of the third quarter, with Ding Weidi shooting outside the three-point line, the Grizzlies led the Blazers by 32 points!
The difference broke through 30 marks, which made the pioneers lose confidence directly.
The arrival of garbage time is inevitable.
The grizzly fans who came to watch the game cheered. Although the garbage time was boring, they were very excited to see the team win.
However, the neutral fans who were full of expectation were very disappointed. They could not easily watch the Grizzlies play a playoff game, and then there was garbage time...
it turns out that everyone overestimates the Blazers.
Or, you can say, you haven''t figured out how strong grizzly bears are.
Indeed, last season''s Blazers created a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies. But this season''s Grizzlies, it''s not that they can''t be compared with last season.
After being killed once, the grizzly bear has become stronger.
Before the game was over, Bill Simmons made a leisurely tweet on his social media.
"You want to see Grizzlies in real trouble? Then turn off the TV. Because the Grizzlies won''t get into trouble until the division finals at the earliest
In Simmons''s view, the Grizzlies in the first two rounds of all the game, there is nothing to look forward to.
