NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

   Chapter 194 Beard who wants to win once

   "Wang, you're in good shape today!" Aldridge said to Wang Zelin when he retreated from defense. The two have been working together for almost half a season, and he has gradually figured out the law of Wang Zelin's game state.

  Wang Zelin's momentum and desire at the beginning made him understand: This Oriental is probably going to explode again!

   "Normal ~ Third in the league!"

  Wang Zelin replied confidently.

   You are so welcome.

  Aldridge withdrew his gaze and quickly settled down.

  Mosaic offense, the first ball directed by James Harden.

  Harden passed Matthews with a screen step and accelerated from the left to the free throw line.

  Aldridge on the inside did not hesitate, and decisively gave up his defense against Patterson and came to cover Harden. Matthews did not hesitate and decided to switch to Patterson.

  Patterson is a space 4 with a certain ability, and Matthews needs to pay attention to the former's shooting.

   Among all active second-position players, Harden ranks second with an average of 5.8 assists per game, and the first is the Los Angeles old blacksmith.

In addition, Harden is a player known for his teamwork and selflessness. When everyone on the scene thought that Harden would choose to score the ball outside, or end the offense with a mid-range shot that he was extremely good at, Harden chose a small margin. Changed direction and swayed away from Aldridge, and successfully broke through from the latter's left side.

   At this time, Wang Zelin was taken away from the penalty area by Asik, and the Blazers were empty.

   Show Moment!

   Harden stepped on the floor, took off, and took off.

   "Boom!"

  In the air, Harden pulled back with the ball, the basket buzzing with the powerful tomahawk smashing and dunking.

   Harden, who has just left the Thunder, and the second line of Ren and Du is still one line away from being completely opened up, and aerial work is a unique skill.

   Anyway, he was born in the third flower show. He really has to be better than the second brother than the physical talent Harden.

  2:2.

   "James!!! Harden!!!"

  The home DJ of the Mosaic team cheered for the team leader for the first time.

   Compared with Wang Zelin's opening dunk, Harden's old aerial battle axe is equally domineering.

   As soon as the benchmarks of the two teams came on the field, they showed such a domineering start to the fans.

  Inspired by the live DJ, many people inside the arena stood up and chanted Harden's name.

   See, we also have James~

   "Woooooo! Great shot! James' physical talent is definitely one of the best in the scoring position of active players. This shot shows his ability to stay in the air at a glance!"

  TNT's Charles Barkley also shouted excitedly.

   "This battle axe does have a taste of LeBron. It should be James!"

   next to Kenny Smith echoed.

  Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve. In addition to the full broadcast of the match between the Mosaic and the Trail Blazers on the Chinese Sports Channel, the US side arranged a full-meter live broadcast.

After    dunked and landed, Harden let out a breath and bent his arms to show his two unicorn arms to the fans.

   The start was so explosive, and the next time continued the rhythm of the game of attacking attack.

   The Trail Blazers were terrifyingly efficient in the first quarter, scoring 30 points on 14 of 23 shots from the field.

  Wang Zelin scored 10 points in 6 shots and 5 hits in the first quarter, with a hit rate of 83.3%. Tonight, he was completely open.

   In view of the high shooting rate of the two teams, although Wang Zelin is in a brave state, he "only" got 5 rebounds.

   However, the mosaic is even more exaggerated.

   The team made 13 hits in 20 shots, and the shooting rate was as high as 65%. Harden scored 10 points, 5 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal in a single quarter with a 100% shooting rate.

   Among them, Mosaic made 9 three-pointers and hit 5 times, with a hit rate of 55.6%.

   On the other hand, the Blazers made 1 of 4 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was only 25%.

   In addition to the two teams fighting against each other, there was a small incident in the first quarter.

  Mosaic team's important backup Tony Douglas left the field with a waist injury in an attack.

  Rationally, that's a good thing for the Trail Blazers.

Tony Douglas came to Houston in a trade between the Kings and Mosaic at the end of 2012. In 18 minutes of playing time, he averaged 8.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, especially the three-pointer with a 37.7% shooting rate. An important member of the Mosaic second unit.

  Emotionally speaking, no one wants athletes to suffer from injuries.

   "It's really unexpected. The Mosaic team led the Blazers by 4 points after the first quarter. It seems that the cheering has paid off, hahaha!"

   Ma Jian chuckled.

   "Director Zhang, what do you think?" Director Ma turned to look at Weiping Bryant.

"Don't look at Mosaic leading temporarily, but their hidden dangers are not small," Zhang said: "In the first quarter, Mosaic scored 4 more three-pointers than the Blazers, and the result was only 4 points ahead, which fully shows their defensive performance in the interior. It's bad."

   "It's impossible for things like feel to continue forever. When the Mosaic team's feel declines, it's a good time for the Blazers to overtake."

  The game restarted, and the Mosaic team No. 7 held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

  The unexpected departure of Tony Douglas, in addition to the Blazers, Jeremy Lin may be the biggest beneficiary.

   In view of the overlapping positions between Jeremy Lin and Harden, the former's playing time has become less and less, and the status of the team has become more and more awkward.

   In comparison, Tony Douglas, who is good at shooting three-pointers, and Harden are more comfortable working together.

  em… Harden is comfortable.

   Now that Tony Douglas is injured, the Mosaic coach has to increase Jeremy Lin's playing time.

   Jeremy Lin had a rare opportunity. After playing, he was very resolute. He entered the inside line and caused a defensive foul on Aldridge.

   "Hu! Hu!..."

   Jeremy Lin stood on the free throw line panting to adjust his breathing, and finally made two free throws.

  30:36!

   "Jamie can play tough! The Blazers are 6 points behind."

  Charles Barkley exclaimed.

   "Don't forget that tonight is also a yellow...Asian derby!"

  Kenny Smith said with a sudden pause, reorganizing the language.

  …

   Blazers offense.

  Lillard received the serve and advanced through half court.

   In the low position on the left, Wang Zelin made a gesture to Lillard ~ for the ball!

   The first quarter was outstanding, and Lillard was also happy to pass the ball.

   "The king wants the ball again ~ Mosaic is the first time to double-team ~ They know that the king is very difficult to deal with..." Coach Ma roared.

   "Hey! But they were fooled!" Director Zhang said immediately.

   After Wang Zelin made a pass gesture, he immediately bypassed Asik and rushed to the basket.

  Parsons and deep double-teaming, the original 32 zone defense station became 23 zone defense.

   But Lillard's pass didn't come for a long time, and the ball was passed to the perimeter.

   The typical tactic of slamming the east and hitting the west, this is the tactical intention represented by the tactical gesture Wang Zelin just made.

  Sometimes it is not just holding the ball, even running without the ball can make good use of its deterrent on the offensive end and better create open opportunities for teammates.

  Haden immediately knew something was wrong, and quickly pounced on Batum from the top of the arc.

   But it was too late, Batum did not live up to the team's tactical arrangement, the perimeter player fell, and the three-pointer was easily accounted for.

  33:36, the Blazers recovered a three-pointer.

   One thing to say, Batum's outside shooting ability can also be among the first-class among these people.

  44% overall shooting percentage, 38.7% 3-point shooting rate - not low among perimeter players.

"The Blazers' starting lineup is too balanced. Wang Zelin on the inside has good offensive and defensive equipment. Although Aldridge's defense is not excellent in offense, he can also rank in the league average; Lillard, Matthews, and Batum on the outside are three. With a clear division of labor, it's no wonder they've had such a brilliant season," Affirm Smith said.

   "Yes, compared with the Oklahoma City Thunder, I'm actually more optimistic about the future of this Blazers team. In addition to being younger, the Blazers' main players can also form a better complement." Charles Barkley said.

   As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

   Across the ocean.

  Many fans who are surfing the Internet and watching this game in real time are flashing their keys on the message board!

   "What are you kidding? The Thunder were last year's overall runner-up! What can the Blazers compare to my turtle?"

   "Upstairs, don't forget Thor, he is the boss of Thunder."

   "I didn't say no!"

  “…”

   Unexpectedly, the controversy over whether the Blazers can match the Thunder will end before it begins.

   Netizens have been discussing who is the king in the Wang Zhuang group.

   It can also be seen from this that Durant's character is really not suitable for being the boss.

  Especially against the strong character of Westbrook~~

  …

  Toyota Center.

  Mosaic attacked, Jeremy Lin and Parsons broke through after a high pick-and-roll to no avail, and passed back to Harden on the outside, who missed a ball from the outside.

  The basketball rebounded, and there was a loud shout from the basket.

"mine!"

"mine!"

   "Stop arguing, it's mine!"

   Finally, a yellow arm touches Xian Deng, who is…

   "Wow, the rebound is protected by Wang~ His takeoff height is too exaggerated~ Others are like dwarfs compared to him!"

  Charles Barkley explained loudly.

   Contrast and hurt!

   is absolutely true.

"rush!"

   "Back to defense!"

  The voices of Wang Zelin and Harden sounded almost at the same time, and Batum and Lillard on the left and right directly hung up and charged towards the Mosaic team.

   As for basketball~ They know that as long as they run well, Wang Zelin will come.

   Sure enough, "Whoosh!" The basketball crossed the sky with an arc and landed steadily near the Mosaic team's free throw line.

  Lillard looked at the basketball that had flown in front of him, and couldn't help but once again praised Wang Zelin's "hand work is really fine!"

   Catching the basketball bouncing off the ground, Lillard took three steps directly, accelerated the sprint to the basket, and completed the dunk.

   One point left!

   "No matter how many times I watch it, Wang's long pass is always so fascinating. It's hard to imagine that this quarterback pass came from a seven-footer!"

   At this time, even the home DJ of the Mosaic team couldn't help but exclaim.

   Harden controlled the ball to the top of the arc in the backcourt, and Matthews stared closely at Harden's movements.

   This bearded man is hailed as a new-generation player who is getting older and has the most hope of competing for the league's No. 1 shooting guard throne.

   Matthews' defense is not top-notch in the league, it can only be regarded as good. A defender of this level is a dish in Harden's eyes.

   After changing directions continuously, Harden suddenly accelerated to break through and hit the inside line, but Aldridge near the high position did not respond.

  Wang Zelin is well prepared, take a step forward, a good winner looks at your defense and jumps straight.

   After a physical confrontation with Wang Zelin, Harden received the ball sideways in the air, forcibly squeezed out the layup space.

  "Boom~Shu!" The basketball flew out of Harden's hands, hit the edge of the inner circle of the backboard and fell into the net bag.

   At this point, the referee pointed at Wang Zelin.

  “Di!!!”

   was also called for a defensive foul.

   "King, you are indeed strong, but this is also ~ the only one who wins can be me!"

  Haden gasped for a while after landing, then came over, turned to look at Wang Zelin, and said coldly.

   After losing to the Blazers several times in a row, Harden is bound to recall tonight.

"Ha ha!"

   Looking at Harden who was blowing his beard and staring at him, Wang Zelin suddenly thought the beard was cute.

The title of    Meng God is also very suitable for him.

   "Damn it! You don't even kill me!"

   The smile of No. 36 opposite Harden is very clear, it is clearly watching children play, and someone feels very angry.

   "James, it's time for a free throw!"

   This is the voice of the referee.

   "Oh, ok ok!"

   Harden just came back to his senses, and he still has an additional penalty!

   "Hahaha, Mosaic's beard is quite interesting!"

   Such a stupid Harden made Director Zhang laugh out loud.

   "It's so cute!"

  The horse guides the way.

   "Sigh!"

   Free throws are undoubtedly the "essence of human beings". After receiving the ball from the referee, Harden calmly patted it twice and made a steady hit.

  35:40, Mosaic led by 4 points at home.

   "Andone! Our leader played an extremely tough goal, and the victory is destined to belong to Sky City!"

   "Ow!!!!!"

   The score difference was pulled away again, and the Toyota Center issued a cheering sound of tsunami.

   "With 13 points on 5 of 7 shots, James Harden performed very well tonight!" Barkley explained.

   "In the previous two games between the Trail Blazers and Mosaic, Wang all broke out. It seems that this time it is James Harden's turn!" Kenny Smith said.

   "Hey man, you forgot one thing, Wang's performance is not inferior to James Harden at all" Buckley shrugged.

   "It looks like they both broke out, so Charles, who do you think will have the higher score after the game?"

   "It will take time to tell us the answer!" Buckley worried that there was a hole in it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ did not give a clear opinion.

  Unfortunately, this dead fat man is very good at learning!

  Kenny Smith regretted a little and focused on the game on the court.

  The Blazers attacked, Lillard made a three-pointer after covering, and Wang Zelin grabbed the offensive rebound to make up the dunk.

   Now that someone has already issued the gauntlet, it is time for him to respond.

   "I have to add that Mosaic's basket is estimated to suffer again tonight."

  The scene on the field made Charles Barkley shine.

   looked back, Mosaic attacked.

   Harden made an emergency stop after the breakthrough and once again widened the point difference.

  Ha someone tonight~ I really want to win!

   I have to prepare for the homework for the final exam, I will be free soon...
