NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

The Blazers and the Warriors played fiercely, leading alternately, with 4 draws in the first quarter.

The Blazers were all soldiers, and the starting 5 all scored points. Wang Zelin showed his style as a center and sent 3 assists. He scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in casual play.

Aldridge became the team's main point of attack. He received 4 points from Wang Zelin's mid-range shot, and in addition to his singles with the ball, he scored 8 points in a single quarter.

On the Warriors side, Curry took on the absolute offensive task, scoring 2 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 11 points on 4 of 8 in a single quarter, and sent out 2 assists.

The first quarter ended with the Warriors trailing by 2 points.

In the second quarter, the two teams did not continue to fight against the main force, and they both sent a rotation lineup.

What's surprising is that the Blazers, who are obviously stronger, have played worse performances.

Garnett, Mo Williams, and Yi Jianlian scored 7 points together in the second quarter, and the combined force of the three was barely able to achieve the efficiency that they could get alone in previous games.

The long road trip and the streak for the sake of the streak started to show.

Andre Iguodala played like a **** of war in this bench time! Under his leadership, the Warriors, together with Maris Speights, dominated the second quarter and fought back frequently.

The Trail Blazers in the second quarter were two different teams from the first quarter. Wang Zelin only played for three minutes in the second quarter, allowing the Warriors to seize the opportunity and successfully overtake at 55:49 at halftime.

Change sides and fight again, the situation changes suddenly.

After the first three minutes, Thompson and Curry hit 3 three-pointers in a row, and the Warriors led by 12 points 64:52. The Warriors suddenly rained three-pointers and caught the Blazers off guard.

beep~~~

Coach Terry Stotts hurriedly called a timeout and rearranged the lineup on the field.

"A lot of players in the Blazers are in a downturn today! Even the veteran Kevin Garnett is no exception! And Stephen Curry, the No. 30 of the Warriors, feels too scary. He has made 4 threes tonight. Divided!" Yu Jia said in surprise.

"Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? The feel of this thing is very mysterious. Once it comes, how can you vote?" Zhang Lili laughed.

"The king is going to be in danger. Now we can only look forward to a pause. After returning, the Blazers players can feel better." Yu Jia continued.

Zhang Lili didn't answer. He has decades of commentary experience and knows the situation of the Blazers on the court.

If only a few players are in poor form, it can be attributed to a small probability event; and if a large number of players are in a downturn, it can only indicate a high probability that the Blazers really have a problem.

Pause back, and the game continues.

Looking around the arena, both sides sent the strongest lineup.

In terms of staffing, the Blazers are the main force, and the Warriors' No. 3 has changed from Barnes to Iguodala.

"We must do a good job of rebounding first. After other people make a shot, they can grab it if they can, and it can't be long to return for the first time. Also, those who attack and defend Stephen Curry must guard against his sudden three-point shot. I'll stick to it, I have to switch defenses quickly, and I can't give him any space to shoot..."

Before playing, Terry Stotts warned.

It's only been a little more than halftime, and Curry has already scored 17 points. He is definitely going for 30+ and 40+ tonight.

In view of the fact that the opponent just scored 54 points in a single game last season, despite the final loss to the New York Knicks led by Agua, Terry Stotts' initial dull mentality could not help but set off waves.

Shouldn't it be overturning?

The sideline catches the ball, the Blazers take their place, and Lillard makes a tactical gesture.

Aldridge suddenly retreated from the left flank low and threw off half of David Lee for the ball, who chased after him.

Wang Zelin started almost at the same time, pounced from the low position on the right to the basket, and at the same time he did not forget to caress the waist of Bo Gte with his right hand, which made the latter's start suddenly stagnant, and couldn't help but scolded Australia. Export.

As the organizer, Lillard was well prepared. After seeing Wang Zelin's position, he suddenly took a step back, hoisted the ball from Curry's head, and flew to the right wing of the basket.

Wang Zelin jumped up to grab the ball and dunked with one hand.

"boom!"

64:54, the score is still 10 points away.

"This tactic is okay. Aldridge pulls out and takes David Lee out with his own shooting threat. The king cuts in at the same time, pulling and pulling, like a saw to squeeze out the Warriors' defense line." Yu Plus excited.

Warriors attack.

At the top of the arc, Curry routinely called David Lee to the pick-and-roll and then drove into the paint.

Lillard couldn't keep up, and Aldridge returned to defense in time.

At this time, Curry faced Aldridge's back-up defense, and he scored the ball to David Lee outside.

David Lee caught the ball, shot from the three-point line, and hit a ball.

At 67:54, the Blazers trailed by 13 points.

"Oh hoo hoo! David also made a three-pointer, Rick, did you see it? This should be the seventh three-pointer made by the Warriors tonight, Stephen 4, Klay 2, David 1. ." Mullin laughed.

"I'm not blind again," Mr. Barry rolled his eyes and continued: "It seems that God is on our side tonight, and the Blazers on the opposite side have 5 three-pointers less than us!"

The courtroom live broadcast room.

"Lillard and David Lee have a clear height difference, and the latter looks very good, and it's normal that he can't defend." Yu Jia shook his head high.

"This is no way, the Blazers should pay more attention to the opponent's three-point shot!" Zhang Lili said.

The Blazers attacked and opened up.

Putting Bo G to one side, Wang Zelin caught the ball in the short corner on the right wing and started to play inward.

With three or two hits, Wang Zelin easily carried Bo Gte to the outside of the paint area, then turned over and shot a jumper and hit a ball.

"Andrew's weight and strength are too disadvantageous. The Trail Blazers No. 36 is on the active No. 5 position, which can almost be said to inform all opponents." Barry said.

"It's alright, we just need a three-pointer." Mullin said confidently.

As if to confirm what he said, the Warriors counterattacked, and Curry suddenly stopped a meter away from the three-point line. Lillard, who is preventing him at this time, is stepping on the edge of the three-point line, which Lillard may think is a safe area.

It's a pity that Curry shot, everything was so sudden, Lillard didn't even have time to express his panic expression, and the sound of basketball passing through the net was already heard behind him.

"Stephen~~~ Curry!!!"

The home DJ was totally crazy.

Curry's 3-pointer had to take a step back to the Warriors' home logo.

"Fake squid! Hahahaha! Chris, tell me, it's not true! Stephen actually hit a three-pointer from such a distance, he's too bold!"

Old Barry danced with excitement.

"You read that right, Rick, this is true, this TM is actually true..." Mullin kept muttering to himself.

The Warriors came out and Curry went up.

When the Blazers hadn't recovered, Curry and Klay next, one by one, added two more three-pointers for the Warriors.

At 76:56, the score difference was instantly widened to 20 points.

This kind of scoring efficiency fell into the eyes of Wang Zelin, and he couldn't sit still. Just after halftime, Lillard, who was holding the ball, immediately applied to the referee for a 100-second timeout.

beep~~~

The Blazers were stopped again.

"Wang, don't worry, there's still half a quarter left, we still have a chance." Terry Stotts didn't notice anything wrong, but instead encouraged Wang Zelin.

"Mr. Stotts, didn't you realize how big the difference was? Didn't you realize that No. 30 of the Warriors has made 6 three-pointers, and he has 23 points!"

Wang Zelin almost roared out, which cheered all the Blazers.

20 points difference?

6 3-pointers?

Warriors No. 30 scored 23 points?

Looking back suddenly, everyone found that the team's situation was extremely difficult.

Who said three-pointers can't kill people?

At this moment, Terry Stotts and his players felt the fatal threat from the three-pointer for the first time.

In fact, as early as last season, when Curry's total number of three-pointers reached an unprecedented 600 in a single season, some people have gradually realized that what seems to be a simple three-pointer actually contains a huge threat.

However, because the Warriors led by Curry did not go very far in the playoffs, they stopped in the first round. In addition, during the regular season, Curry scored 50 points for the first time in his career, but the Warriors lost to the Knicks.

Scored 54 points but lost the game, making Curry, who made 11 of 13 three-pointers that night, caused a heated discussion, but it did not really arouse the vigilance of other teams.

The great thing is to praise "Stephen Curry is a rare excellent three-pointer", in fact, there are still not many people who regard this Warriors team as a confidant.

But Wang Zelin knows that starting from this season, there will be a lot of inherent thinking in the league that will be completely subverted by this warrior.

First and foremost is one: 3-pointers can't kill the game!

Strictly speaking, Curry's current strength changes are not much different from last season, and he is still at the All-Star level. What can make the Warriors change like this is largely the growth of another guy - Klay Thompson!

This season, Klay has grown again. Not only is the three-pointer more stable, but the proportion of close-range two-point shots has reached 37.8%, a full 12% more than last season. That means he has more scoring tools and is harder to guard.

Sometimes when Clay is crazy, he can feel the throw, which is even more difficult to guard than Curry.

He has a height of 201cm and a wingspan of 206cm. Although his shot speed is not as fast as Curry's, his natural height advantage makes him less disturbed when shooting three-pointers.

Maybe that's why he can break the NBA playoffs record for 3-pointers in a single game in the future.

So compared to Curry, Kelai is more of a pure three-point shooter. He doesn't even need too much ball control, he only needs the right to shoot, and then he can rely on his abnormal three-point shooting ability to create a scoring-level offensive threat.

What's more, Curry and Klay are so good together!

In the game between the Warriors and the Bobcats on December 12, 2012, when Curry and Klay scored 25 points with him at halftime, including 7 three-pointers, the two gradually became known as the Splash Brothers.

Wang Zelin also knew that the pair of Splash Brothers in front of them would evolve into Tsunami Brothers. Judging from today's performance, the Warriors, under the leadership of the two, hit a wave of attacking waves and stunned the Blazers.

After finding that something was wrong, he would let Lillard call a timeout without the coach's consent.

Without it, because these 3 minutes are like TM dreaming, so fake! Suddenly they were 20 points behind!

During the suspension, Terry Stotts didn’t know what to do, and he was stunned by the situation on the field. Who the **** knows how to play 3-pointers like that. So he can only repeatedly emphasize to the players "defense, defend, defend again!"

Back on the field.

Trail Blazers attack.

Batum received a pass from Wang Zelin and scored by running without the ball in the middle distance.

But as soon as he turned his head, Clay threw another three-pointer, blinked, and the score difference changed from 18 points to 21 points!

"give me!"

As soon as he settled in the frontcourt, Wang Zelin roared from the outside.

It's really a messed up mentality, he can't care so much anymore, he wants to beat one himself.

Grabbing the ball, Wang Zelin rushed directly to the basket and burst into flames after a step, but at this time Bo Gte and David Li rushed over frantically, as if Wang Zelin would not let Wang Zelin dunk even if it was a foul.

Wang Zelin did not hesitate, carrying violent fouls, and continued to rise up.

Bo Gte grabbed Wang Zelin's jersey and pulled it hard. The referee blew the whistle immediately. Wang Zelin sent the ball with difficulty, but didn't score.

"Beep! Defensive foul, Blazers No. 36 added two free throws."

"Damn, this TM is a vicious criminal!"

"You look for common fouls... oh my god, are you blind?"

Bo Gte's rough foul angered the Blazers, and they surrounded them for the first time.

When a player is laying up, once the jersey is pulled by someone, it is very easy to cause the player to lose balance in the air, and the probability of injury to the door will increase sharply.

Fortunately, Wang Zelin was fine, but such a move completely angered Lillard and others.

"Hey hey hey! What do you want to do?"

On the side, the players of the Warriors also gathered around.

At the same time, the Warriors bench players closest to the scene also rushed into the field. On closer inspection, Drummond Green and Jermaine O'Neal were the most emotional.

Seeing that the war was about to break out, there were endless boos at the scene.

"enough!"

At this time, Wang Zelin shouted angrily and stopped the players on both sides who were eager to try.

At this moment, the referee and the two linemen also immediately separated the players from both sides, thus avoiding the all-martial performance of the Warriors' home court.

Already lagging behind by a large score, if conflicts arise rashly, it is easy for the outside world to have a perception that the Blazers are losing and humiliating.

After the scene subsided, the referee signaled Wang Zelin to go to the free throw line again.

"Shh!"

"Bang!"

The second penalty was missed, David Lee protected the backcourt rebounds, found Curry as soon as possible, and handed it over to him to organize.

Curry dribbled the ball forward, and as soon as he got close to the Blazers' three-point line, he jumped off the ground and shot decisively.

Is this cast?

Even the teammates who ran towards the Trail Blazers half-court were stunned: Brother, we haven't settled down yet!

The audience in the stands were also dumbfounded, because it was obviously not a reasonable shot~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Curry didn't even fully adjust his body shape.

"This is a very unreasonable shot choice. I think this ball..." Before Zhang Lei's words could be finished, a crisp sound of piercing through the net spread throughout the Oracle Arena through a loudspeaker.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this moment, except for the sound of the basketball falling to the floor, there was no sound at the scene.

Immediately after...

"Oh hoo hoo! Damn Fake! My God, Stephen made another incredible three-pointer!!! Wait, why do I have to say it again..." Mullin responded very quickly and was very moved. .

Lillard did the same. He looked back at Wang Zelin and then at the head coach Terry Stotts on the sidelines, as if to say: How do you want me to guard against this?

Tonight, the Warriors used one unreasonable three-pointer after another to not only break the Blazers' defense line, but also break the psychological defense line of the players on the court.

How to defend against such an unreasonable attack?
