In the last 8.5 seconds of the game, the bottom corner of Strous was receive the ball, facing anfini’s defensive strong shot, hitting three points. Miami equalized the score, leaving the Trail Blazers 6.2 seconds to decide the game. Lillard’s bottom line was receive the ball. He glanced at Billups, who motioned to make a decision on his own. So it accelerated. Miami knew what cousin could do. The troops gathered at him, giving Hart a tiny gap at the bottom corner.
Lillard scored the ball, Hart shot, the final light was on, and the ball was killed.
This was the second killing of the Trail Blazers in 4 days, and the last leading role was Grant. In the 22-23 season, only 10 games were played, but the Blazers seemed to have experienced two rounds of series. Before that, Radlan scored 41 points in a row, and after that, anfinny scored 6 points in 7 points in a single section, Grant, Hart, newkiki, sharp, Winslow, even little and yubanks have their own highlight moments. The Blazers are not the strongest team since the start of the game, and their performance is not surprising, but they are definitely one of the most exciting teams since the start of the game, with high quality.
OK. Wonderful is wonderful. The game of the pioneers in which year is wonderful. The key is, can they win?
He won 4 consecutive games and took the first place in the West. Li’s guidance was injured after getting the best of the week. Simmons missed two games at this juncture again. In terms of their development resources, leaving these two people is afraid of collapse. The Blazers still survived. The record of 7 wins and 3 losses is quite good, but the goal difference is not optimistic. At present, the offensive efficiency ranks 19th in the league, the defensive efficiency is 12th, the hundred rounds are goal difference-0.3, and the league is 16th. Considering the attendance rate of Lillard and the irreplaceable significance of his attack on the Blazers, and considering that little Peyton has not appeared so far, there is room for improvement in the attack and defense data of the pioneers-if their subsequent schedule is healthy enough-but it is quite difficult to reach the level closer to the top of the league in the end, and there are more tests waiting for them.
The pioneers are close to their expectations leave allowances:
The new version of the back Suncha is still fierce, but the attack is difficult to surpass the previous four shooters with the old Suncha version;
With a lot of defense resources, the defense is not bad, but it is impossible to fill up because of the existence of Suncha.
With the advancement of the competition schedule and the gradual stabilization of the data, the attack and defense of the pioneers should remain at the upper-middle level and the defense will be slightly better, which is actually not much better than their previous better version.
So, what’s the matter?
No, the pioneers have made progress. Although Lillard is still the leading player of this team-for example, the seesaw battle with the heat in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter depends on Lillard’s continuous single eating and scoring, hart’s killing also came from his threat-but the pioneers had more “keys to victory”:
Defeated the king on October 20, the pioneer’s winner was Winslow’s defense of No. 5 in the closing stage;
Beating the sun on October 22, the Blazers had flanks to eat misaligned Grant, joint defense, and Simmons to eat the bridge alone;
After winning the Sun again on November 05th, grant not only sent out the killing, but also chose everything one by one in the second section, and scored 16 points in 6 of 7, fully demonstrating the significance of the pioneers in introducing him;
Who led the pioneer’s first round of points in the fourth quarter when the heat was defeated on November 8? Taking the ball alone to eat Strous, taking Deng Luo alone, eating Vincent alone, not others, but Winslow.
The pioneer still has a shape of Suncha, but the kernel has changed a little.
Note that my words are very cautious, “some”, just some.
I am no longer worried about the Trailblazers’ defense. This does not mean that there is no hidden danger in the Trailblazers’ defense. Although little Simmons became stronger, he used it with Lillard, the Trailblazers’ defensive limit is still stuck. But the difference from the past is that the pioneers have more choices, their flanks are full of hands, and their inner lines have small ball play, this is different from the rigidity of the only lineup, which is bound to be a double guard and a large center. For example, with the call of duty of the heat, before taking little Simmons, the Pioneers put out the five-member group of Lillard + Hart + Little + grant + Winslow, and the pioneers can try more on the last card in the future, little Simmons, little Peyton, nurkiki, little, and even grow some sharp. If a team can play 4 of Hart/Peyton/Grant/Winslow/nurkich at the same time, the other is grandma O’Neal, and the defense is not bad.
What about attack?
This depends on the “some” changes.
In fact, the attack of the Blazers was not as good as that of the past. The space was flawed. Billups tried to let Lillard play without the ball more, and the efficiency was not as good as that of the three points. Nurkich covered, there is no need to doubt the way Lillard holds the ball to dominate the game. The Blazers now have the penultimate performance league in controlling mistakes, while the Blazers in the past were a team with few mistakes.
But there is no doubt that the pioneers deserve more attempts. In the face of conventional anti-blocking and dismantling methods and low-quality clamping, Lillard had already proved his ability to cut melons and vegetables, and the Pioneers took the old road to do it again, it cannot solve the core problem of the past strangling the throat. The road of pursuing the ultimate space to break the attack has been tried. The attack is full and the defense is not. The comprehensive result determines the place to step. The pioneers realized that space and defense could not be taken into account under limited resources, so they could only change another route to put defense resources in place first and pursue more complicated technical and tactical cooperation, in the way of dispersing and dominating the ball, Lillard will no longer become the “target” of defense “.
This method has been done in practice, such as “Hart arch top playing the game, Lillard used Winslow to cover the outside, Winslow used the opportunity to cut the basket,” this kind of round looks more “advanced.
The Trailblazers averaged more than 2 assists in the team’s 6-player field. The player with the most assists in the team’s field was not Li guidance, but Hart. Hart and Winslow became two members of the team, providing vitality and hardness at the same time, which can be described as Portland’s first brother and dream chasing. While Grant provided fixed points on the weak side, it was also a one-to-one hard solution on the team’s front line, which was actually bankrupt Durant. Nurkiki switches back and forth between cover, control, low position and three-pointer, changes his posture according to the specific situation, and can also sit on the board when necessary.
The pioneers wanted a picture that everyone could handle the ball instead of waiting for Lillard to feed. They were indeed more versatile than the old version. The way is right. If not, how can they completely release everyone’s energy? Supporting actors only fight for fixed points to respond to prospective stars, which is a dead end for this team, which is not their strong point. Winslow’s attack proved to be almost useless in the past few years. Only when the pioneer came to life-of course, it was still bad-because his little bit of holding the ball base came in handy, it became the bankruptcy version of Portland to pursue dreams.
The pioneers have completed the first step by transforming into a new team building model. Although the hope that this road leads to success is still slim, at least so far, the pioneers have made people enjoy it. After Li instructed to sign a historical contract, the pioneers urgently needed versatile and cost-effective players to provide long-term competitiveness, and at present, these people are in the battle.
