NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

The next day, the news that the defending champion Trail Blazers' 15-game winning streak was ended by the Toronto Raptors dominated the major sports headlines.

Seeing the Raptors fans celebrating wildly on the court, Wang Zelin shook his head with his arms crossed.

This game is indeed a pity. The Blazers have lost hope of hitting 20 consecutive victories again. I have to say that it is indeed a pity.

But today's loss is nothing to be reconciled to. The Blazers who can fight are playing normally, but the reason why they still lost in the end is mainly because three of the Blazers generals had a cold and a high fever before the game.

The strength of the Raptors is naturally beyond doubt. At any rate, it is also a team that truly has the level of the playoffs. With a complete lineup, it can be said that it has the upper hand against the trailblazers under the broken lineup.

In the end, DeRozan's 34-point performance in a single game allowed the Raptors to defeat the Trail Blazers by an average of 6 points, and became the most beautiful guy in all media reports after the game.

The loss in Toronto made Wang Zelin overtaken by Curry in the first Western Conference player of the week selection in February, which was a little depressing.

On the contrary, the entire Bay Area ushered in a burst of boiling.

That's Wang Zelin! The ultimate boss who ruled the entire league for three full years was actually suppressed by Curry...

Ahem, although it was only a brief suppression, it was already a very commendable thing in itself.

On the Internet, many media have started to write a lot about this matter.

On February 7, the Blazers returned to Portland to sit at home and ushered in the challenge of the Eastern powerhouse Atlanta Hawks.

This is the first time the two sides have met this season!

Before this battle, the Eagles basically ranked among the top four in the East with a record of 30 wins and 22 losses. In terms of record and overall strength, they are slightly stronger than the Raptors.

Although Button, Batum and Connett Lee all announced to play again in this game, they have just had a serious illness after all, and no one can guarantee how they will be when they come back tonight.

Therefore, many people believe that the Blazers are likely to end this season's unbeaten home game.

Yes, the Blazers have played 53 games so far this season, with an astonishing record of 49 wins and 4 losses, and all 4 games they lost were lost away.

At home, they have never lost so far!

The Trail Blazers' prestige this season is no less than last year's 75-win season. The other 29 teams have long been tired of the Trail Blazers' rule. After all, no one wants to have a sharp knife hanging on their head.

If you want to break the Blazers' monopoly of terror in the league, you must give the Blazers a defeat at the Rose Garden Arena, and first let the local fans in Portland question the Blazers' invincible posture.

The Trail Blazers attach great importance to this game, and the Eagles also attach great importance to it.

Because the Eagles have great hopes of becoming the first team this season to break the Trail Blazers home golden statue at the Rose Garden Arena tonight.

Arrived at 20 o'clock in the evening.

Rose Garden Arena, the two sides made their debut.

Suddenly, Wang Zelin seemed to feel something, and looked up towards the starting direction of the Eagles... Dwight Howard, wearing the No. 12 Eagles jersey, was looking at him with strange eyes.

Maybe because Wang Zelin didn't expect to look over suddenly, Howard didn't have time to dodge, so the two just looked at each other across the air.

"..."

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

After a brief confrontation, Howard was immediately defeated and turned his head to the side, not daring to look at Wang Zelin's expression again.

In contrast, Wang Zelin's eyes are very frank, curiosity is just curiosity, there is nothing to hide.

But he never expected that Master Huo is so "sensitive" today. The once proud Warcraft has been declining in strength due to physical fitness and injuries. Today's alliance status is as different as Wang Zelin's.

That's why Howard looked so guilty, he chose to avoid Wang Zelin's curious gaze even though he had done nothing wrong.

It is said that money is a man's guts!

In the NBA, strength is the guarantee for players to walk in the league. The stronger the strength, the more respect they get.

Once the strength is weak... Sorry, who are you? We don't know each other well!

No way, the adult world is so cruel.

Soon, the two sides came to the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

Don't look at Howard can grab 12.7 rebounds per game this season, ranking 6th in rebounds this season, setting a new high since leaving the Magic in 2012, but it is still not enough for Wang Zelin.

Then the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Wang Zelin beat Howard and easily won the jump ball.

The Trail Blazers attacked first, and Lillard accelerated with the ball, but the Eagles retreated extremely fast. He could only stop at the top of the arc, waiting for his teammates to move, seized the opportunity, and used Wang Zelin's cover to break through to the left , A three-point shot after the pick-and-roll.

As the strongest pick-and-roll three-pointer in the league, this is Lillard's favorite way to initiate an offense from the outside, with hands up and down, and three-pointers.

3:0, the Blazers opened the scoring first.

The Eagles attack.

Dennis Schroeder and Paul Millsap's high-low cooperation, the latter faced Jokic's supplementary defense in the low position, and cleverly distributed the ball to Tim Hardaway II, who was ambushing in the left corner.

Tim Hardaway II made an open three-pointer and scored easily.

3:3, the two sides tied.

Since coming to Atlanta to join the Hawks in 2013, Millsap has gradually developed a very sophisticated coping ability, and his average assists per game have been increasing year by year. This season, he averaged 3.8 per game.

Among the inside players, the average can send nearly 4 assists per game, which is really not low!

Switching offense and defense, seeing that the Eagles retreated quickly, Wang Zelin was not in a hurry, picked up the ball and sent it to Lillard.

There is a class of players in the NBA, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Their on-court role cannot be fully reflected by statistics. For some fans who usually don’t like to watch games and only like to study player statistics, such as Al Horford, Players like Paul Millsap have mediocre statistics in their eyes.

After all, in this prosperous scoring era where the data is gradually rampant, Horford and Millsap, who often average around 15+7+3+1 per game, are easily considered by some fans to be very ordinary players.

But in fact, these two people can basically be counted as real All-Star players, and they are the kind that have no water.

Horford aside, although Millsap entered the league in 2006, the Eagles period was undoubtedly the absolute highlight of his career. During his four years in the Eagles, he was selected as an All-Star for four consecutive years.

Although neither is a substitute, it can be seen that the outside world recognizes him.

Facing Millsap who was at his peak, his teammates didn't blame Jokic for failing to defend the ball just now.
