NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Latest website: Regarding the purchase of shares, Wang Zelin quickly forgot about it after talking to Paul Allen. Then he refocused all his energy on the game.

The Trail Blazers' next game is two days later against the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns are still a dual-core forward and defensive combination of Devin Booker + Jaylen Brown, and the star is still Devin Booker.

After Booker scored 70 points in a single game against the Celtics last season, he immediately became famous. Although there is a suspicion of scoring points, he is also capable of scoring points.

There are many offensive masters in the NBA who are known for their scoring. They may not have scored 50+ or ​​60+ once in their entire careers. Booker's ability to score 70 points in a single game is enough to show his outstanding talent in scoring.

Last season, Wang Zelin was dismissive of Booker's 70-point performance in a single game because he felt that the latter was a brush-type scorer.

But since the system was updated, he changed his mind.

Because Booker really grew into the league's number one shooting guard in the future, and he performed explosive scoring performances in many playoff series.

Brown is also a future All-Star. Although he has been at a disadvantage in the competition with Tatum and can only serve as the Celtics' second boss, his strength is also very strong.

In the 2017-18 season, the third-year Booker's strength improved again, averaging 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, and all three shooting percentages also improved, respectively 43.2%, 38.3% and 87.8%. Personal strength Already infinitely close to the All-Star level.

Brown's average data per game has also skyrocketed from 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds last season to 14.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists, with three shooting percentages of 46.5%, 39.5% and 64.4%.

This season, the Suns' duo is still in the growth stage and cannot yet be called stars. However, considering the upper limit of what the two can achieve in the future, Wang Zelin is still looking forward to the game against the Suns.

…

Time came to October 20, and the Trail Blazers won their second opponent in the regular season—the Phoenix Suns!

Since it was an away game, the Trail Blazers arrived in Phoenix one day early.

After the daily training on the 19th, they took a night's rest. At 6 o'clock in the evening the next day, the Trail Blazers' bus drove through the city center and entered the American West Arena, the home of the Suns.

Like the Philadelphia 75ers in the East, the Suns are still in a rebuilding period where they believe in the process. Fortunately, they have accumulated a lot of talented rookies in the team.

As soon as he entered the arena, Wang Zelin's attention was focused on Sun Shuanghe.

Currently, the strongest player in the Suns is Devin Booker, whose ability evaluation is 83, followed by Jaylen Brown, whose ability evaluation is 78.

As for other players, their strength is relatively average. The most famous among the starting lineup is veteran Tyson Chandler.

But the old boxing champion is already 35 years old at this time, and his strength is worthy of being a starting center for a weak team. When encountering the Blazers' three-high lineup, he is destined to be unlucky tonight.

In this game, the Trail Blazers had another high-scoring game.

140:91, the Trail Blazers beat the Suns by 49 points and successfully won the first two consecutive games.

Wang Zelin scored 20 tonight, scoring 23 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

But he is still not the highest-scoring player on the team. The highest-scoring player on the team is Lillard. He made 7 of 11 three-pointers tonight, scoring a team-high 28 points.

The Four Kings of the Trail Blazers still clocked out in the third quarter tonight. Wang Zelin played the least time among the four, playing only 20 minutes.

In the first two games of the new season, Wang Zelin scored 19 points in one game and 23 points in the other, averaging just over 20 points per game. His starting form was the lowest since his rookie season.

But on the contrary, it was the Trail Blazers who scored more than 140 points in two consecutive games with a terrifying scoring efficiency. After two games, they beat their opponents by 50.5 points, creating the largest point difference in the first two games in NBA history!

After the first two games, the coaching staff headed by Terry Stotts originally expected that their team would be able to expose some problems in advance, but the strategic goal of finding solutions was not achieved at all!

Just because... they won so smoothly!

Sometimes winning too easily is also a headache, because the early part of the season is when they should encounter trouble. If the trouble does not appear until the middle and late stages of the season, it will be too late. The opponent will find loopholes in their problems, and they It will be impossible to block and prevent it.

After two regular season games, Wang Zelin felt as if he had played 9 consecutive season games. The good news is that winning such a game is ridiculously easy. The bad news is that he clocked out for three or even two consecutive quarters. Wang Zelin wants to continue to win. It’s become difficult to be the league’s scoring champion!

…

There were no surprises. The Trail Blazers' terrifying performance in beating the Suns by 49 points once again refreshed fans' perceptions and completely triggered a new round of public opinion on social media.

"Invincible! The Trail Blazers are really too strong! The bandits are completely outrageous!"

"It's really not a sunflower, but the Blazers' offensive firepower is too exaggerated!"

"Compared with the four-star super teams that have been born in history, the Trail Blazers four-stars not only have a natural tacit understanding, but are also in their prime, have a balanced offense and defense, are aggressive, and have a great leader who can hold down the field. …”

"Man, you missed something, and there are a bunch of bench gangsters who are comparable to the starting lineup of other teams..."

"And such a team is only ranked second in the league in terms of strength. It's really unimaginable!"

"Hahahaha, ESPN is probably going to be slapped in the face for the whole season!"

"Let me tell you, is it possible for the Trail Blazers to win 82 games?"

"82 wins is too difficult. The regular season is too long, injuries and some uncontrollable factors mean it is very possible to lose one or two games. I am really looking forward to 80 wins. Once achieved, it will also be an unprecedented and great achievement!"

"Good guy, I thought you would be really humble, but I didn't expect you to come up and rush for 80 wins. Then the NBA will really end!"

"Let's have a moment of silence for LeBron and KD. They faced maybe the best team that has ever been in the history of the NBA."

…

There was inevitably another wave of discussion from fans on social media after the game.

Scored more than 140 points in two consecutive games, defeated the opponent by more than 50 points, and the four main players clocked out in three quarters every day...

The impact of all the above is really terrifying!

At the same time, the coaching staff and management of other teams in the league fell silent after watching the Trail Blazers' first two games.

This Trail Blazers are really too comprehensive, with almost no shortcomings on the defensive end. At the same time, the offensive end is unprecedentedly strong. They can score from starters to substitutes. They can't think of any way to limit it.

Despair, unprecedented despair, enveloped everyone's hearts.

At this time, in the visiting team's locker room after the game, the Trail Blazers players were also cheering and screaming in celebration.

However, their journey must continue.

In addition to the opening game of the new season at home, the Trail Blazers' next three games will be away games.

After playing the Suns on the 20th, they rested for a night in Phoenix. Early the next morning, the team took a charter flight to Indiana in the East. They will challenge the Pacers on the night of the 21st.

In addition to the Trail Blazers, there are two teams that are attracting attention in the new season.

One is the New York Knicks.

After the combination of James and Du, many veterans are optimistic that the Knicks will win the championship in the new season and have chosen to join New York. This means that the Knicks do not have to worry about the thickness of the bench in the new season.

In the opening game of the new season, the Knicks and Nets started a same-city battle.

Compared with the star-studded Knicks, the Nets' star quality seems much bleak. The biggest player in the team is Chris Paul, who was successfully recruited this summer. However, compared with James' Durant, the gap is still quite large. huge.

In this game, not many people are optimistic that the Nets can win. The only highlight is probably the civil war between the banana boat brothers.

After being drafted into the league by the New Orleans Hornets with the fifth overall pick in the first round in 2005, Paul quickly grew into the No. 1 point guard in the NBA. During his peak period, he was a perennial double-team leader in assists and steals, making him a proper superstar in the league.

However, he has been playing in the Western Conference for the past ten years. Although he often leads the team to the playoffs, he has never touched the conference floor once.

This became a problem that troubled Paul for many years.

This season, the former No. 1 point guard in the league announced that he would travel east and join a Nets team whose overall strength is not that strong. This has to make people worry about whether Paul can adapt to the competitive environment in the East.

As soon as he comes up, he has to face James, one of the Banana Boat brothers. The latter is accompanied by Durant, the league's top scoring killer. Naturally, no one is optimistic about the Nets winning.

Against everyone's disapproval, Paul made his Eastern Conference debut.

Although Paul played extremely well, playing 34 minutes and scoring a team-high 28 points, plus 14 assists and 3 steals, he still could not withstand the huge gap in the overall strength of the two sides.

Not surprisingly, in the opening game, Zhan and Du only played three quarters and easily led you to victory. The former scored a near-triple-double with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and the latter efficiently scored 33 points and 11 rebounds. Two pairs.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Blazers' exaggerated scoring performance in the opening game, the Knicks would probably be one of the hot searches on social media.

In the second game of the opening game, the Knicks continued to face the Pistons at home. In this game, Jan Du continued to perform stably, leading the team to a 121:107 victory over the Pistons, winning the first two consecutive games.

The Knicks have also become one of the few teams with consecutive winning streaks so far in the new season.

The other team is the Los Angeles Lakers.

Unlike the original time and space where he retired in 16 years, the 2017-18 season will be the 22nd season of Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Kobe will be 40 years old this year.

From the young boy who joined the league at the age of 18 in 1996 to the legendary veteran who is about to become overweight at the age of 40, many people said before the start of the new season that this season will be Kobe's last dance.

Regarding this news, neither the Lakers officials nor Kobe Bryant came forward to deny it.

Sometimes, not denying is basically equivalent to acquiescing!

After all, Kobe is too old.

There are very few veterans in history who can still compete in the league at the age of 40, let alone a legendary superstar like Kobe. Therefore, many people are very concerned about Kobe's start to the new season.

And speaking of the strength of the Lakers.

After Paul left the team this summer, the Lakers management obtained another big fish from the trade market-DeMarcus Cousins.

This wave of operations really resembles the tradition of the Lakers, because many legendary insiders in the history of the Lakers were not trained by their own team. For example, Zhang Dashuai, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and O'Neal all joined the Lakers through trades.

Although there is a gap in grade between Cousins ​​​​and Wang Zelin, the league's number one player, he has basically been able to sit still by averaging 25+10+4 per game for many years, plus his one-year trip to the Finals with the Cavaliers. Stabilizing the throne of the second center currently in service.

Therefore, many people are still optimistic about the internal and external combination of Kobe + Cousins.

Winning the championship is definitely out of the question. The Lakers still have the strength to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Western Conference playoffs in the new season.

Like the New York derby in the east, a derby also broke out in Los Angeles at the beginning of the new season.

The Lakers' opponent in the opening game was the Clippers in the same city.

However, this time and that time.

Nowadays, the Lakers, as a wealthy team, have gradually been on the decline. After the Clippers in the same city acquired Rondo and Butler last season, they formed a team of Rondo + Butler + Griffin + DeAndre Jordan in the new season. Four-star super team.

Although not comparable to the four-star Trail Blazers, the four-star Clippers have become recognized as a team that is better than the Clippers, and they are a team with hopes of winning the championship in the new season.

In the new season, the Lakers and Clippers have completely transformed their offense and defense!

However, in the opening game, Kobe fully demonstrated what it means to be old or hot.

The game went into overtime. The Black Mamba, who was about to die in the overtime period, showed his big heart and scored 7 points in a row against Rondo and Butler's defense, completely ending the game.

In this game, Kobe played for 44 minutes, scoring a team-high 41 points, and successfully led the Lakers to win the much-anticipated opening game 121:117.

With his explosive 41-point performance at the start of the new season, the name Kobe Bryant has become the biggest hot topic in recent times, second only to the Trail Blazers' two-game winning streak.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' Big Four was actually not bad. Rondo had 14 points and 11 assists, Butler had 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, Griffin had 27 points and 9 rebounds, and DeAndre Jordan had 10 points and 14 rebounds.

The Big Four scored 74 points together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ accounting for more than two-thirds of the team's scores, which is quite impressive.

But Kobe couldn't stand up to his superiority, and Cousins ​​​​was also very powerful in the paint. He had a double-double of 26 points and 16 rebounds in a single game, successfully helping the Lakers have the last laugh.

In the second game of the game, the Lakers continued to face the challenge of the Pelicans at home. This time it was Cousins' turn to explode, with 33 points and 14 rebounds in a single game, and then scored a goal to dominate the Pelicans inside.

Kobe played 30 minutes tonight, making 11 of 25 shots and scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

The hand feel has declined compared to the previous game, but given his age, it is understandable that his condition fluctuates greatly.

Relying on Kobe and Cousins ​​carrying each game, the Lakers also won the first two consecutive games and became one of the few teams in the league to win the first two consecutive games.

Suddenly, the voices about the Lakers winning the championship obviously increased a lot.

It’s time again for the “Lakers Championship” stage that we are familiar with year after year! (End of chapter)
