NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

[NBA draws O'Neal in his twilight years at the start][]

Entering the fourth quarter, just when everyone thought the Trail Blazers were about to reap victory, an evil wind suddenly struck and enveloped the United Center.

What is unhealthy trend?

That is, the league once again blatantly interfered in the game!

Entering the final quarter, the whistle tendency became particularly obvious.

The Trail Blazers' defense is very tough, but many times this toughness is called a foul.

Barton and his good friend Batum, who had just returned from injury and resumed his position as the starting small forward, were both in foul trouble. They fouled out and left the game in less than 4 minutes in the final quarter.

With the blessing of the home whistle and Davis still continuing his fiery state in the first three quarters, the Bulls were still in a stalemate with the Trail Blazers.

Hoiberg was emotional on the sidelines.

Just because NBA official historical records have corresponding statistics, when the two teams tie 1-1 during the playoffs, the team that wins the third game has a probability of winning the series as high as 78%!

If the Bulls can win this home championship, their chances of winning the championship will become very high.

But at the same time, a large number of fans have started to complain on major social media and on the hotlines of some live broadcast software.

The point they complained about was naturally the penalty issue at the last moment of the game.

Can I still have some facial expressions?

This home whistle is too obvious, it has exposed all the league's little thoughts.

Chicago was once the third largest city in America, and the Bulls were the team that represented Jordan's entire career, and also helped the NBA's rapid development in the 1980s and 1990s...

If the Bulls can win the championship again after nearly 20 years, such an inspiring story will definitely cause a huge sensation once it happens.

Thinking about it this way, I can understand why the alliance arranged it this way... It's a hammer to understand!

Wang Zelin and his teammates are not masochists, and they don't want to be a background for other teams. If they are inferior in skills, that's fine. But now they have made it clear that they are using off-the-disc moves, and the Trail Blazers are 5 on 8. How can they be convinced like this?

Even if they are "convinced", the fans will not be convinced!

Amidst a chorus of curses, the final quarter of Game 3 of the Finals finally came to an end.

At the end of the game, all the criticism disappeared.

It's not because the fans are tired of scolding, nor because the referee finally chose to change the penalty scale, but because in this quarter, Wang Zelin dominated the game!

Winning the last game was very easy. Wang Zelin clocked out in the third quarter and got 33+15+5+5 data, which allowed him to accumulate a lot of energy. In the last quarter, he finally broke out.

Whether it is Lopez's single defense, Davis's assist defense, or two or three people's double-teaming, Wang Zelin is like being in a no-one's land, giving himself what he wants.

Fans then remembered that Wang Zelin had a terrifying performance of 40+20 in this year's regular season, and even won the scoring title for four consecutive years, breaking the longest record of three consecutive scoring titles held by Durant since the new century.

There is a saying: "There are parallel imports for the top pick in the draft, but there is absolutely no parallel import for the MVP!"

The No. 1 pick who did not play well is a parallel import number one pick. The MVP often represents the player with the best overall performance in the regular season that season. If this can also be called a parallel import, then all players in the league can swim together that season (at least in a certain seventh grade). This was the case before the rise of the winger).

In fact, as everyone knows, none of the players who can win the scoring title are parallel imports!

After all, the NBA's previous scoring champions are the players who average the highest points per game in the NBA every regular season.

Basketball is ultimately a scoring game, and in the league, scoring is what players care about most.

For NBA teams, scoring is equally important. If there is a player with super scoring ability in the team, it will undoubtedly be happy. Because he can greatly reduce the offensive pressure on others and greatly improve the team's status in the league.

No matter in which era, anyone who can average more than 25 points per game in a single season can be called a scoring master. And if you want to become the scoring leader among many scoring masters, it is not too difficult!

One is because many competitors in the NBA are fighting fiercely, and the other is because the players themselves require extremely superb skills and a durable body.

It cannot be ruled out that there are a few scoring champions in history who are called brushes, but even if you want to brush, you must be strong enough, otherwise giving you the ball will be in vain.

If you want to continue to win the scoring title on top of this, the difficulty will once again break through an era. This makes there only 12 players in NBA history, including current players Wang Zelin and Durant, who have been elected scoring champions consecutively.

Continuing to raise the difficulty level, players who can achieve three consecutive scoring titles become even rarer, and can be described as only a handful. Currently, there are only Durant and Wang Zelin, plus the scoring giants in history, there are only 7 players in the entire NBA history who have scored a full score.

As for four consecutive scoring champions or more, only two people have achieved it before, one is Michael Jordan and the other is Wilt Chamberlain. Both of them have set a record of being elected as the scoring champion for 7 consecutive seasons.

This season, Wang Zelin has just become the player who has been ranked as the scoring champion for the third longest time in history. Although he is still a little behind Jordan and Chamberlain for seven consecutive years, the shock to people is already quite exaggerated.

In this year's playoffs, Wang Zelin's scoring performance did not improve significantly compared to the regular season like in the past three years. However, in the final quarter of tonight's third game of the finals, he hit 11 goals in 13 shots, scoring 10 goals in a single quarter. With 28 points, 2 assists and 3 blocks, he led the team to a single quarter of 33:29 and won the game in one fell swoop.

Wang Zelin once again showed one thing to the fans: when you are really awesome to a certain level, you can completely ignore all adverse factors.

The referee can call the foul on the defensive end, or not call the Trail Blazers' foul. The Bulls players fouled Wang Zelin, but they were unable to call the ball that Wang Zelin sent into the basket.

If you get in, you get in!

In the end, after two consecutive games with 50 points in the Western Conference Finals, Wang Zelin finally contributed a 50-plus performance in the finals. He played for 44 minutes and scored 57 points, 25 rebounds, 5 assists, 11 blocks and 3 steals. Triple-double, defeated the Bulls 125:110, won two consecutive victories, and also changed the big score to 2-1.

"28 points in the final quarter! Refreshed the single-quarter scoring record in the finals, surpassing the legendary Isiah Thomas. Let us congratulate Wang Zelin!"

"What does it mean to be the best in the league?! (tactical retreat

"At a critical moment, you show off your super-giant nature! This is very Wang Zelin..."

After the game, it became, not that your most common emotion.

…

As Bulls coach Hoiberg excitedly said, the team that wins the third game in NBA history has a 78% advancement rate in the series!

Why don't the Trail Blazers know?

That's why the Blazers fans were so angry when they saw the league actually helping their opponents after the last quarter started!

But fortunately, their king once again stood up to turn the tide in times of crisis and won the third game, which meant that the Trail Blazers' probability of winning the championship was as high as 78%!

But after the game, there were some unexpected changes in the mentality of both sides.

Although the Bulls lost in the end, they gained confidence.

From the big victory in the first game to the big defeat in the second game, they experienced a sense of frustration from heaven to hell, and even made their mentality despair for a time. When they returned to their home court in Game 3, even though the Bulls' shooters were being wildly targeted, they were still able to beat the Trail Blazers to the last quarter, and this was despite Wang Zelin's explosive 28 points in the final quarter, breaking the record. Just lost the ball.

In other words, the Bulls' shooters cannot be restricted every night, Rose and Wade cannot always be so strong, and Wang Zelin cannot score 28 points in a single quarter every night.

Next, as long as the Bulls arrange their tactics reasonably, let Rose, Wade, and Davis combine inside and outside, and strive for three points to drive the team's offense, then they still have hope of ending the Trail Blazers dynasty!

This is a change of mentality for the Bulls.

What?

You talk about the last minute, the league's care and the referee's penalty standards... Come on, this is Chicago, the game is played at the United Center!

Since we are at the home court, we have a little bit of home court advantage, isn't it in the Ganges River?

Emmm, it seems like Bulls fans really think so.

In the last quarter of the last game, the league executives made it clear that they did not want the Trail Blazers to end this year's finals early. In this case, they will definitely continue to take care of the Bulls.

The fourth game will certainly be no exception!

This is why Bulls fans are confident about Game 4.

The same goes for the Trail Blazers.

After Wang Zelin played the third game, he knew that the offensive talent of this Bulls team was better than he imagined.

After the first three games of the Finals, he had a vague feeling that among all the Big Three teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls were the hardest to contain.

Needless to say, Davis has gone from being among the top ten active players in the league in history to being among the top five active players in the league in one fell swoop, evolving into a real superstar!

And Rose, although he missed the top spot due to serious injuries after the MVP season, compared with history, he is already lucky. At least he did not wither early due to consecutive serious injuries, and he still remains an All-Star starter. strength, and seems to have developed a three-pointer in advance.

Although Rose's three-pointers still feel a little unstable, compared to his original self, the youngest MVP in history is already lucky enough.

As for the Flash Wade... Uncle Wade is an absolute playoff player. He is born for the big scene. He can be called a typical example of the NBA that gets better as he gets older and gets stronger when he is strong.

Once players like Rose and Wade break out again, coupled with the skewed penalty scale that will exist in the entire series in the future, the game is likely to become the same as the last quarter of the game, or even more difficult.

The fourth game of the Finals will still be played in Chicago. With the Blazers' regular starting lineup, it may be difficult to cope with the next challenge, otherwise...

…

…

On the first day of training after the game, Wang Zelin found Coach Terry.

"I think the team can change its style of play."

After thinking about it all night, Wang Zelin made a bold decision that went against his ancestors... ahem.

He suggested that in all subsequent games, he would be the small forward, Lillard and Barton would be in charge of the backcourt, and Aldridge and Jokic would be in charge of the interior.

As for Batum, who has just returned from injury, let him take Aldridge's previous position and become the super sixth man on the bench!

"In other words, we will attack the Bulls next?"

Coach Terry was surprised and puzzled by this decision.

"That's right."

Wang Zelin nodded solemnly.

Davis' performance in the last game was not weak. The guy also scored a super near triple-double with 43 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks, but it was just overshadowed by his 57 points in a single game.

Before the referee's penalty scale changed, Davis was in a very hot state and directly ignored the Trail Blazers' defensive system. He scored 28 points in the first three quarters, only 1 point less than Wang Zelin who scored 29 points in the first three quarters. .

In terms of offense alone, Davis is already an undisputed super player. No one can guarantee whether he will continue to be so crazy in the future.

If he is still completely crazy next, and it is not the Blazers' defense, then no matter whether the opponent is Jokic or Aldridge, he will only end up being beaten by him.

Of course, more importantly, they must deal with it head-on and implement your penalty scale throughout the series.

If the Blazers' defensive intensity remains the same as in the previous three games, the outcome can be imagined and they will be in deep foul trouble.

Just like the last moment of the last game, the two main players were killed directly.

Thanks to the crazy targeting of Rose and Wade in the first three quarters, they were unable to regain their three-point touch in the final quarter, otherwise it would be uncertain who would win and who would lose.

Therefore, instead of being forced to accept the foreseeable facts, it is better to adjust their thinking and change the approach. The Trail Blazers have chosen to reduce the defensive intensity so far, and then invest all the team's resources in firepower output.

No matter how much the referee can whistle, no matter how much the league wants to manipulate the game, as long as the Trail Blazers can get the ball into the basket, these unfavorable factors can be ignored.

Just like last night, at the last moment, he, Wang, was 1 on 8 and still led the whole audience!

The defense of this Bulls team is not as strong as shown by the high-end data~www.wuxiaspot.com~The ability to perform like this completely relies on Davis, who has his own defensive system.

In terms of defensive talent, Davis is really like his draft model Kevin Garnett. In the latter's peak period, he also supported the team's defensive system by himself.

If you ignore Davis's positive impact on the defensive end, each of the remaining players on the Bulls can only be regarded as above the league passing line on the defensive end.

The other two core players of the Bulls, Rose is quite good, and Wei Wei's defensive awareness is still top-notch, but his knees can no longer support him from running all over the court.

Therefore, it is completely interesting for the Trail Blazers to play against each other.

So, after some research with the assistant coaching staff, Coach Terry finally agreed.

If nothing else, Wang Zelin's bold idea that goes against his ancestors will not only make the fourth game two days later uncontrollable, but will also completely affect the trend of the entire series.

In the next two days of training sessions, coach Terry changed all the team's training content to offense, focusing on a bohemian love of freedom!

Just the unrestrained scene of the players on the training field made Coach Terry and all the coaches tremble with fear.

"Terry, Wang's idea is really..."

David Vanderpool thought and thought, but finally couldn't find the right adjective.

"What we can do now is believe in the players and the king!"

Coach Terry just patted the former on the shoulder and said nothing more.
