NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Latest website address: beep~~~

As the referee's whistle blew, Wang Zelin took off like a rocket and returned the ball to the Trail Blazers. The new season officially kicked off at halftime.

Lillard advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

If the Trail Blazers are now a three-high combination on the inside, then the Mosaic team is a mirror image of a three-high combination on the outside.

Point guard Harden is 1.96 meters tall, shooting guard Hayward is 2.03 meters tall, and small forward Anthony is 2.03 meters tall. The three heights on the outside can improve the Mosaic team's outside defense to a certain extent.

For example, now, when Lillard faces Harden, who is much taller and larger than him, it is still very difficult to break through one-on-one.

So on the first ball, Lillard called Wang Zelin over as soon as he passed the logo area, and the two played a pick-and-roll.

Lee and Wang started a pick-and-roll as soon as the half was over. This was a new offensive tactic specially designed by Coach Terry for the two of them after Wang Zelin was established as a small forward in the new season.

On the one hand, it is mainly because both Lillard and Wang Zelin have extremely terrifying three-point threats, and their shooting range can cover the entire half. These technical characteristics are enough to support their ability to carry out pick-and-roll play as soon as the half is over, forcing the opponent to follow suit, thereby achieving the purpose of destroying the opponent's defensive formation.

On the other hand, because both Lillard and Wang Zelin have strong one-on-one abilities, especially Wang Zelin, there is no defensive player in the league who can limit his scoring one-on-one. The other team wants to To guard against him, at least two people must be sent to guard him.

In this way, other Blazers players can easily get open opportunities, and Wang Zelin can also maximize the three threats of sudden shots and passes!

The most amazing thing is that thanks to the fact that the Trail Blazers now have 7-foot-long players who are over 2.10 meters tall at the third, fourth, and fifth positions, they don't have to worry about the team's rebounding issues after Wang Zelin plays small forward.

Sure enough, after the Li Wang logo zone pick-and-roll, the Mosaic team's defensive focus was all on Wang Zelin, and Lillard had an open opportunity.

And such an opportunity is equivalent to an opportunity to give away points to a super marksman.

"Lillard and King's pick-and-roll...oh, Lillard's guidance was super long, and the ball went in!"

Teacher Yu Jia shouted excitedly at the commentary table on the court stage.

"Uh-huh!"

Super long three-pointer, hollow into the net.

3:0, the Trail Blazers opened the scoring.

Looking back, the Trail Blazers set up a 32 zone defense.

The three giants of the Mosaic team are all outside players. The two inside players Capela is a pure blue-collar player. Nurkic's offensive threat is also quite limited. Although Da Nuji can also score, he has never proven that he is a Effective offensive threat point.

Harden made a fake pass and found Anthony who had an opportunity on the outside. As soon as the latter took the ball, he encountered a volleyball block.

"Bang!"

Anthony dribbled the ball and was slapped to the ground.

The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.

When the Mosaic players came to their senses, they noticed that Wang Zelin, who had just sent a blood cap to Anthony, had picked up the falling basketball and promoted a fast break counterattack.

It was obviously too late to return to defense at this time.

After a while, there was a bang from the Mosaic team's half, and Wang Zelin scored the first goal of the night with a one-handed dunk.

5:0!

"Defend! Defend!"

In just two rounds, the whole place was already in a frenzy and the fans were screaming.

The entire Mosaic team suddenly felt a suffocating sense of oppression. The terrifying pressure brought by the Trail Blazers had slowly affected their performance.

Offense and defense transition.

The Mosaics still didn't have much to do against the 32 zone defense. Anthony had another chance, but this time he was smart and didn't dare to make a mindless shot under Wang Zelin's defense and gave the ball to Hayward.

Hayward has comprehensive skills and is good both offensively and defensively. He can attack with the ball and run without the ball. After joining the Mosaic team, the team's coaching staff quickly established him as the team's second organizational point and continuity point after Harden. ball point.

It's just that his comprehensive skills often mean that he doesn't have a decisive killer move. He seems to know a little bit about everything, but he doesn't seem to be at the top level of the league. That's why he has been unable to lead the Jazz to the playoffs in the Wild West. .

But now that the Mosaic team is here, Harden is in charge at critical moments, and Hayward has become the second-in-command. He only needs to do his due diligence during regular times.

Facing Connett Lee with this ball, Hayward used his strong body to rush inward. After approaching the free throw line, he made a mid-range pull-up that caught the Blazers off guard.

"Uh-huh!"

At 2:5, the Mosaic team opened the scoring.

But before the Mosaic team could be happy for long, Wang Zelin gave Jokic a look. The latter understood the situation, picked up the ball and made a long pass, assisting Wang Zelin to complete a fast break dunk.

"Terrible counterattack ability! The Blazers' offense is so smooth." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Including Jokic, the Trail Blazers now have three ball control points in the starting lineup: Lillard, Wang Zelin, and Jokic. Even Lillard, who has the worst ball-playing ability, averaged about 100 points per game in his heyday. A good passer who contributed 7+ assists, it is destined that the Trail Blazers' ability to create opportunities will be the best in the league.

Lillard: "...I am a defender, but I can't pass as well as two inside players?"

Ahem... Well, in terms of organizational ability, Lillard is a point guard, but he seems to be no match for Jokic and Wang Zelin.

In the original time and space, Rio Kic showed the strongest passing ability in the history of the NBA's fifth position!

As for Wang Zelin...I'm sorry, who made others cheat? !

Looking back, Harden broke into the three-second zone one-on-one, and was blocked by Wang Zelin who came to defend him. He had no chance to take a shot. Finally, he wanted to turn around and throw the ball to his teammates on the outside, but was directly intercepted by Connet Lee.

Fortunately, the Mosaic team retreated in time this time and did not give the Trail Blazers a chance to play a fast break.

Entering the position battle, Lillard continued to hold the ball and play pick-and-roll with Wang Zelin. This time the Mosaic team still unswervingly chose to double-team Wang Zelin.

What is the number one player in the league (tactical fallback)?

Seeing this, Lillard took another clean three-point shot from far away without even thinking about it.

"Duang!"

It's a slight pity that this ball is a bit short.

But it doesn't matter, Jokic has the ball!

I saw the Serbian sticking out his big butt, easily knocking Capela away, transforming into a Super Saiyan under the basket, grabbing the rebound and then taking off twice for a layup.

Another European white bear rushed over to block the shot, but he overestimated his bounce and hit Jokic directly.

The referee's whistle sounded, indicating Nurkic's defensive foul.

The ball bounced off the board and fell into the net bag.

Jokic's 2+1 score!

There were constant cheers.

After winning the championship this year, except for a trip to China to enjoy delicious food at the invitation of Wang Zelin, Jokic spent all the rest of his time on horse racing and entertainment in his hometown. People rarely hear about him on social media. .

During the preseason, although Jokic replaced Wang Zelin and became the team's starting center, all eyes were on Wang Zelin as the starting small forward.

It wasn't until they saw this powerful scene that the fans suddenly woke up. This fat white guy who seemed to have a kind-faced and low-key appearance was actually a starter in last year's All-Star Game!

At present, Jokic is undoubtedly the least popular among the Four Trail Blazers Kings, but since he can be called the King and has become one of the Big Four recognized by fans and media before, there is absolutely no doubt about his ability!

With Jokic's extra free throws hitting steadily, in less than two minutes, the Trail Blazers got off to a 10:2 start!

The script was almost the same as before, with the Mosaics once again being pinned to the floor by the Trail Blazers.

The difference is that this time they are in the regular season!

"Fake Squid!"

D'Antoni couldn't help but explode.

He really didn't expect that Lillard and Wang Zelin's new pick-and-roll tactics would be so powerful!

After these rounds, Wang Zelin didn't even exert much offensive power, and Aldridge, the eldest of the Four Trail Blazers, didn't even participate in the offense.

But that's it, the Trail Blazers have rubbed the Mosaics on the floor!

Hayward hit Connett Lee in the low post, turned and flew to the baseline for a layup.

Someone once counted the top ten players with the shortest wingspan in the NBA. Among them, Hayward ranked seventh with a wingspan of 2.03 meters, which is the same as his height.

Precisely because the Tyrannosaurus rex's wingspan was the same as Griffin's, Wang Zelin was given the opportunity. When Hayward turned around to take action, Wang Zelin stretched out his wingspan and shot directly.

"Bang!"

Wang Zelin directly gave Hayward a big block and grabbed a defensive rebound.

D'Antoni reached out and slapped his forehead, completely desperate.

After landing, Wang Zelin held the ball by himself and turned around to launch a fast break.

D'Antoni recovered from his despair and shouted from the sidelines, but it was too late.

Wang Zelin's advancement speed was beyond imagination, and Anthony and Capela, who were the first to react, were always two positions behind him.

"boom!"

Another explosive dunk.

Wang Zelin scored two more points for the Trail Blazers!

The Mosaics attack.

This time it was Anthony's turn to attack the basket. After a mismatch, he turned beautifully and passed Jokic.

This is Melon's signature drum washing machine-style turn, simple and fast, focusing on the unexpected.

But after he passed Jokic, he found that the person standing in front of him was Wang Zelin!

"Damn that guy, why is he so haunted?"

Melon was about to curse in his heart, but he believed that the trick he had practiced for more than ten years would not let him down, so he decisively made a layup.

Then…

"Bang!"

Another nail-biting shot, Wang Zelin relied on his terrifying bullet speed and long wingspan to block Melo's signature skill.

"This is talent!"

Yu Jia was so excited that he was dancing.

"This goal will probably leave an everlasting psychological shadow on Anthony. He probably never thought that Zelin could block it before taking the shot."

Zhang Lili was also shocked by this scene and sighed repeatedly.

On the court, Wang Zelin grabbed a defensive rebound.

Seeing that the Mosaic team failed to score, the audience whistled and cheered one after another.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this opening match has been a one-sided defeat until now!

On the defensive end, the Trail Blazers have a three-high combination of Wang Zelin, Aldridge, and Jokic. After guarding the zone defense, the penalty area is impregnable!

The Trail Blazers' defense was airtight. Looking back, the Mosaic team's interior twin towers finally showed some value. Capela assisted in defense and destroyed Lillard's layup.

But without Capela, the Mosaic team can only rely on Nurkic to defeat the Blazers' three high-end players on the board.

With the help of Jokic's blocking, Aldridge grabbed the offensive rebound, and the data sheet of this game was finally recorded.

The ball was finally given to Wang Zelin. Wang Zelin ignored the defense and took the ball directly from outside the three-point line.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball hit the net.

13:2, the score difference on the field has reached double digits.

"Wang Defa!"

"wdnmd!"

"Tell me, how can we fight like this?"

"I'm going to have a crazy basketball dream!"

Fans on the hotline have already begun to explode.

They have watched the NBA for so many years, but this scene before them is really something they have never seen before.

The Houston Mosaics are no ordinary team. In ESPN's team strength rankings, the Mosaics rank fifth.

In addition, in the rankings of two authoritative media, TNT and Sports Illustrated, the Mosaic team also ranks very high, with TNT ranking sixth and Sports Illustrated ranking ninth.

It is enough to prove that among mainstream public opinion, the Mosaic team is an out-and-out top ten team in the league, and one of the only teams in the league that has the ability to compete for the championship in the new season!

But for such a team with the Big Three, not only could they not score points offensively, but they were also beaten to a pulp on the defensive end!

Do you want to be so exaggerated?

Even if I play 2k in private, it’s not that outrageous!

Not only the majority of Mosaic fans on the hotline were on the verge of collapse, but D'Antoni's mentality on the bench was also about to explode.

Harden looks for Capela in the frontcourt to pick and roll. This is the Mosaic team's most common and most effective inside and outside pick-and-roll tactic.

After the pick-and-roll, Harden prepared to hit Jokic in a misplaced position.

But the Trail Blazers didn't give them a chance at all. Jokic's basketball IQ was simply not too high. He noticed the intention of the bearded man on the other side at a glance and immediately gave his boss a look.

Jokic: "Help me! Help me..."

The younger brother sent a distress signal, and as the boss, Wang Zelin was naturally obliged to do so.

So, when Harden was about to break through after the pick-and-roll, he bumped into Wang Zelin as soon as he looked up. Next time, he could only hastily connect with a step-back jumper.

Wang Zelin jumped up instantly to block the shot. Although it was not reported, it still caused strong interference.

Jokic grabbed a defensive rebound and the Trail Blazers counterattacked defensively.

Lillard was very fast, received a long pass from Jokic, and hit Anthony's silky turn and small floater.

"Snapped!"

"Uh-huh!"

Lillard's smooth combo not only allowed the ball to fall steadily into the net, but also caused Anthony to foul.

See you again 2+1!

Lillard scored his second 2+1!

D'Antoni couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead again. This time he couldn't sit still anymore and decisively called a timeout.

How can we play this game?

"I think after tonight ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ needs to update their team strength ranking again!"

In the live commentary box, Sir Charles Barkley, the ace of TNT, could not help but start teasing his competitors.

"That's right!"

Smith nodded in agreement, and then said:

"The Houston Mosaics are undoubtedly one of the top teams currently active, but in front of the Trail Blazers, they played like a team. I think everyone needs to re-examine the strength of this Trail Blazers."

"Other than injuries, I can't imagine anyone else being able to beat a team like this!"

Finally, Barkley did not forget to turn on the big mouth mode.
