Chapter four hundred and seventy-six: defeat is also a rookie, success is also a rookie

The fans in the Rose Garden Arena never expected that the Hornets, who had been beaten to death in the first quarter, would suddenly become stronger in the second quarter. The biggest change made by the Hornets was simply to let Rivers Jr. and Vasquis change positions.

Perhaps this is the wonder of basketball. Sometimes it may be just a different combination, which can lead to more different results. Although Rivers Jr. was very famous in high school, he was never Chris. A top point guard like Paul. Losing under a first-year guard is unacceptable for Trail Blazers fans.

After Rivers scored, the guy's self-confidence seemed to have been greatly improved. When Fischer dribbled through halftime and reached outside the three-point line, he suddenly started and planned to take out the basketball in Fischer's hand!

Although Fischer is old and slow, Rivers is still too tender in terms of ball control skills and experience. His front steal not only did not make Fischer make a mistake, but instead made himself take an unnecessary foul.

Taking advantage of this dead ball, Lillard, who was sitting in front of the technical table, jumped up.

"Tell him a lesson for me." Fischer ended up hugging Lillard and whispered in his ear.

"Don't worry, Derek, I'll leave it to me next, you can have a good rest."

After Lillard came on the court, his eyes never left Rivers. But the Rivers guy didn't take Lillard seriously at all. He had just defeated a championship-level veteran point guard. What's the difficulty of dealing with a rookie like him now? However, what Rivers didn't know is that although he was a rookie, he was completely different from Lillard.

Angel took the ball out of the sideline, and Rivers wanted to pester Lillard so that he could not catch the ball. However, Lillard's degree made Rivers feel like he had returned to the first quarter. The frustration surged into his heart again.

After receiving the ball easily, Lillard did not rush to attack, but instead slapped the ball easily and waited for his teammates to take the place.

Seeing Anjie standing in the middle distance and holding Anthony. When Davis raised his hand to ask for the ball, Lillard did not hesitate. He immediately added a skillful back luck and then changed direction and pulled back. Two different and fast center of gravity changes made Rivers stagger and almost fell!

After passing Rivers Jr., everything was very relaxed. Lillard sent the basketball accurately to Anjie's arms with one blow. Anjie's shoulder began to shake left and right, testing Davis' defense.

Davis was unmoved. He knew that today Anjie's task was to organize the offense, not to score on the box. Looking at the active running of the other members of the Trail Blazers, Anjie must still pass this time!

It was indeed passed. Within a few seconds after Anjie received the ball, he gave the ball to Lillard, who had already gotten rid of the defense and ran to the middle distance of the wing.

Rivers Jr. made a crazy forward swing in a desperate style, hoping to make Lillard's open opportunity no longer an opportunity. However, just as Rivers Jr. jumped high, Lillard took the basketball.

Rivers' expression in the air was very surprised, because Lillard neither jumped nor did he use the shooting action to complete the shot. Could it be?

"Boom!" The next second! A huge sound from the basket came from behind Rivers. He quickly looked back and saw that Anjie had just come down from the basket, while Anthony. Davis, the No. 1 pick, could only pick up the ball from the floor in shame.

"The tacit cooperation between Ann and Lillard! Ann cut inward immediately after giving the ball to Lillard's hand, which made Anthony, who lacked experience, unaware. Davis did not notice it. Lillard got an open opportunity and did not take a shot, but handed the ball back to An, allowing him to complete the score in the form of an aerial relay. Through just three transmissions, the Trail Blazers completed the attack clearly. There was almost no connection between Rivers and Davis." Kevin Harlan praised Anger's aerial relay. It was also a combination of defenders and insiders, but overall, Rivers and Davis, who were more picking, had a huge gap with Lillard and Anger!

Now it's not just Davis, but even the confidence that Rivers had just established just now has cracks. Lillard, who rushed back to defend from the field, gave a thumbs up, while Lillard blinked at them and continued to devote himself to the work of "abuse" Rivers.

In the Hornets' offensive round, Rivers now can no longer travel as freely as he had just faced with Fisher. Although Lillard's defense is not as top-notch, Rivers's own physical fitness, which makes him not easy when facing Lillard.

Meet Austin. Rivers stayed on the outside for a long time but failed to complete the breakthrough. Anthony. Davis was very anxious. Not being able to break through is not the worst. The worst thing is that Rivers Jr. also had the old habit of sticking to the ball when he could not break through the defense.

"Damn it, did your father teach you how to play basketball like this?" Monty   . Williams cursed unhappily. He didn't think Doug. Rivers would agree with his son's personal heroism.

Seeing that the attack time was only ten seconds left, Rivers had no choice but to break through. However, the consequence of doing so was that the basketball, which was originally controlled by Rivers, was taken away by Lillard's quick hand.

Rivers fell to the ground and rushed to the ground to rush to the out-of-control basketball, but Lillard still picked up the basketball before him, and Rivers only made a waste of money.

After picking up the basketball, Lillard naturally launched a fast attack directly. Anthony                                                                                                                     �

However, no matter how fast Davis is, he is not as fast as Lillard, who rushed up, easily completed a one-handed buckle. After Lillard drew the ball into it, Anthony. Davis just jumped and blocked it.

The Hornets, who finally got into the game because of Rivers, were also reversed because of Rivers. Monty. Williams was so amused and crying. He really didn't know whether to praise the young man or criticize him. But he decided to take a look again to see if Rivers could calm down and perform well after this mistake.

"Hey, I've got him done. Next, it's time for you to get the No. 1 pick." Lillard ran back to his side and shouted at Anjie after running back to his half.

"Davis? Don't worry, I can eat him anytime!" An Jie waved his hand disapprovingly. Proud of Heaven? That's also a rookie!

Then, Anthony. Davis finally hit the shot. However, a long-distance two-pointer was not a scoring method that Davis could rely on. He was forced by Angel so that he chose to use his own range to hit one. But how many long-distance two-pointer with the lowest "cost-performance ratio" can Davis scored on Angel in one game?

The Hornets' offense became more and more chaotic, while the Trail Blazers' offense blossomed more and more under Anger's organization. Monty        Williams was forced to call a timeout in advance. If this continues, the decline may not be restored.

"Davis and Rivers come down and rest, Ryan. Anderson and Vasquis, you guys can do more!" Monty. Williams really can't watch these two rookies mess around on the court. Maybe these two guys will become the center of the team in the future, but now, they will only make the situation worse!

Davis and Rivers Jr. were depressed, and it was obvious that their performance had caused the coach to feel distrust of them.

After returning from the timeout, even Ricard was a little surprised. Davis and Rivers are the Hornets' most valuable "property" at present, but now, when the Hornets need to score, these two guys were pressed to the bench by Williams.

However, the Hornets' first offense after the timeout was suspended, and the execution was very steady. Without the rookies who were prone to restlessness, their mistakes and unreasonable moves were reduced.

Ryan           Anderson continued to fire from the outside, and Vasquis also used his excellent basic skills to "educate" Lillard. After the two "stars" of the Hornets were not on the court, they bit the score again.

Robin          Lopez’s defense did not make Angel much easier. Although he could not pose a threat to the Trail Blazers in the interior, Anthony                                  �

After the second quarter, the Hornets unexpectedly fell behind by only 50 to 54. You know, Davis Rivers did not play for half a quarter in the second quarter!

"I hope you see how others played just now? Do you want a chance? You have to show me the performance!" The halftime break was, Monty. Williams took advantage of the situation and hoped that Davis and Rivers could play better. The two rookies also knew that no matter whether you are the No. 1 pick or a basketball family, Monty. Williams only recognizes performance!

Not to mention, Williams' move is really useful. After the start of the third quarter, Rivers and Davis' performance was indeed much better than the first half.

It’s not that these two guys can carry the scoring banner, but that they played more calmly than in the first half. Their calmness was unquestionably helpful to the team. Under the magical defense of Ryan                                                                                                     �

The fans of Rose Garden are starting to get nervous. Could it be that the Trail Blazers will capsize at home again because of the lack of Aldridge?

J    .       J         Hickson was also very upset. He always unconsciously contracted to the inside. So many years of defensive habits made it difficult for him to change it all at once. This habit is understandable when defending other inside players. But today, he met one of the top inside shooters in the league, Ryan        Anderson.

The two sides remained stalemate until the end of the third quarter. The Hornets were still behind 70 to 75, and they still had a chance.

"I'm afraid no one expected that this game would become so tense. The fourth quarter must be quite exciting! So, the showdown between low-ranking teams and high-ranking teams is not without suspense. This is nBa, this is basketball. The players are alive, not the data of a group of groups." Kevin     .        Harlan is still unsatisfied. Today T                                                                                                                                                                                                   �
