NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

At 52:51, the Mavericks overtook one point.

Trail Blazers attack.

After Wang Zelin sent the baseline ball, he drove forward with horsepower and easily passed Dirk Nowitzki.

"Fast back defense!"

Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle shouted.

DeJuan Blair immediately moved laterally, blocking Wang Zelin.

Regardless of height or tonnage, this guy is very different from Wang Zelin, but the iron and blood in his bones does not allow him to retreat.

Therefore, he stood in front of Wang Zelin without any hesitation, struggling to withstand Wang Zelin's impact.

Nowitzki successfully retreated from the defense, and the Mavericks set up a two-three zone defense position to defend the Blazers' inside attack.

Aldridge pulled to the bottom corner of the left wing, took away German Ann Blair, and let Wang Zelin and Nowitzki single.

If Nowitzki singles against Wang Zelin, he relies more on skills to break defenses with skills; then when Wang Zelin singles against Nowitzki, his style will undergo a 180-degree change.

Break the defense with force!

"Dirk, are you ready?"

"what to prepare?"

"Prepare to be ravaged..."

Wang Zelin listened to his words, replied, then bumped, turned around quickly, and dunked against Nowitzki's basket.

"boom!"

The ball was successfully dropped into the basket, and Carter, who was high, didn't even have time to pinch.

Wang Zelin also scored the first goal of the second half, and Dirk Nowitzki continued the battle in the first half.

After scoring, Wang Zelin also spread his hands towards Nowitzki, as if to say, "You can't help me either!"

Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle looked at the situation and indicated that if Wang Zelin continued to play singles in the next round, the other players should immediately double-team. At the same time, DeJuan Blair was also asked to switch defenses with Nowitzki. Obviously, Nowitzki couldn't withstand Wang Zelin's bulldozer attack, let alone that he was also responsible for continuing the team's offensive firepower.

Mavericks attack.

The left and right flanks were low, DeJuan Blair and Nowitzki cut south at the same time, Aldridge and Wang Zelin followed.

Suddenly, DeJuan Blair rushed over at an accelerated rate and blocked Wang Zelin with a fierce look.

"not good!"

Wang Zelin knew something was wrong.

The other party took the initiative to switch defenses. How could Aldridge prevent Nowitzki, who was in a state of bursting tonight?

Sure enough, in the face of Aldridge's defense, Nowitzki did not have the fierce physical confrontation with Wang Zelin, and naturally played more easily and freely.

Two consecutive shot fakes, Aldridge was directly tricked, Nowitzki saw the timing shot, not only had a physical confrontation with the former, but also successfully scored the ball.

Make a foul!

"Beep!! Blazers No. 12 foul, Mavericks No. 41 offense is effective, an extra penalty..."

Cuban in the front row suddenly burst out and shouted: "Just do this, Dirk! Must kick the Portlander's ass!"

Don't forget, this is the Rose Garden Arena, the home of the Blazers, and Cuban's move is destined to add fuel to the fire.

"Soft egg!"

"What else do you have besides mouth guns?"

"Wang, **** him! As long as I can get rid of the **** in Dallas, I will have a monkey with you tonight..."

It started with a small group of fans venting their anger, then a big one, and finally the whole audience was booing the Mavericks with deafening boos.

Accompanied by the louder and louder, there is Nowitzki's once "soft egg" title.

However, after winning the championship a year ago, the spiritual realm of King Nuo, who has successfully avenged the Heat, has reached another level, and his performance has not been affected by the unreasonable actions of the away fans.

The "soft egg" sound of the Rose Garden continued for a long time, until the Trail Blazers led the Mavericks 73:70 to end the third quarter of the game, and it was worthy of a stop!

the reason is simple.

In the third quarter, Nowitzki led the team to play for 12 minutes, scoring 13 points on 5 of 8 shots efficiently!

Therefore, after three quarters, Nowitzki made 13 of 19 shots and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 32 points with a very exaggerated efficiency.

You must know that Nowitzki is different from Wang Zelin. He is a spatial insider who projects to the outside...

By this time the home fans also realized that the louder they booed, the more motivated the Mavericks' No. 41 would be. After all, this guy is different from ordinary players, and his personal performance will not be affected by the away factor.

Scored 13 points in a single quarter is the best proof!

Good thing…

When the home fans looked at the Blazers No. 36, their hearts were full of pride and ecstasy: no matter how brave the Mavericks No. 41 was, our king would always stand up and respond as soon as possible.

Looking at the statistics of the players on both sides, it was found that Nowitzki's performance in the third quarter was strong enough, but Wang Zelin's performance was even better.

In the third quarter, Wang Zelin also played the full 12 minutes, made 5 of 7 personal shots, and made multiple fouls on the inside of the Mavericks, made 5 of 5 free throws, scored 15 points in a single quarter, and also had 5 rebounds and 1 caps.

After three quarters, Wang Zelin scored on par with Dirk Nowitzki, both reaching 32 points. Although the final quarter had not officially started, the fans in the stands and the audience in front of the TV were already looking forward to the next game.

Because seeing it now, everyone knows that tonight's game between the Blazers and the Mavericks can be seen as a contest between Wang Zelin and Nowitzki, a rare fierce rivalry between the leading stars of the two sides.

Since the beginning of the new century, starting from the era of the four major shooting guards, the NBA has never lacked a certain contest between stars, but it was more of a contest between perimeter players. In contrast, there are very few contests between excellent inside players, and there are even fewer classic battles that can be remembered by fans.

Now, in the Rose Garden Arena, the scoring battle between Wang Zelin and Nowitzki is likely to become the most classic tit-for-tat contest between stars in recent years.

At this time, the score data of the two has reached 32 points, 8 points away from the 40-point threshold, and 18 points away from the 50-point mark...

Don't say 50 points is too difficult.

This is the NBA, anything is possible!

Mavericks bench.

The panting Dirk Nowitzki put his hands on his knees. He was too tired to talk, let alone waste the few minutes of rest time. He had to use the fastest speed to adjust his state, and there was a game waiting. he.

The head coach Rick Carlisle on the side was hesitant to speak, and after several times in a row, he still couldn't say a word.

So far, the Mavericks are only 3 points behind their opponents. With what he knows about Nowitzki, it is absolutely impossible for the latter to give up the game, even if his physical strength pool is approaching exhaustion.

Trail Blazers bench.

Terry Stotts is doing the final deployment, he is very important to tonight's game, because the Mavericks are indeed a good whetstone.

The Mavericks have been hovering at the threshold of the top eight in the West, but Terry Stotts always believes that the Mavericks leader Nowitzki has recovered significantly this year. This Mavericks can be regarded as a ball with playoff strength. team.

What's more, the last quarter has already been reached, and both sides have shown 100% of their strength. Neither he nor Rick Carlisle no longer regard this game simply as a regular season, but do Full of determination to fight until the last moment.

Since the key to the outcome of tonight's game is to be decided between Wang Zelinlin and Nowitzki, he decided to simply hand over all the offense to Wang Zelin.

But before that, it is also necessary to raise the defensive intensity on the field directly to the playoffs level.

In terms of physical fitness, he believes that Nowitzki, who is 35 years old, cannot compare to Wang Zelin, who is only 20 years old.

Subsequently, Terry Stotts replaced Beverley at the number position and temporarily took Lillard.

beep~

The referee's whistle blew, and the final quarter of the game began.

The first attack in the final quarter was for the Blazers.

On the sidelines, Rick Carlisle did not continue to sit in the coaching chair, but kept pacing, implying his inner unease.

The next round must be defended. If it cannot be defended, not only will the point difference be enlarged, but the morale of the Blazers players will also rise again.

Here, after all, is someone else's home.

However, the Mavericks' defense disappointed Rick Carlisle. In the face of Wang Zelin's singles, the players on the court were very decisive. I hope Wang Zelin will not be too stubborn, make a decisive decision, and choose to pass to the open teammates.

With Batum hitting a long two-pointer from the bottom corner, the Blazers led the Mavericks by 5 points at 75:70.

Rick Carlisle frowned immediately.

As a superstar of the younger generation, Wang Zelin is scary enough in both offense and defense, but he is quite calm on the field, and he can always quickly analyze the most appropriate way to handle the ball, and then help the Blazers.

Why is it so rare to see the easy-going characteristics of other young players in him?

Rick Carlisle said: "It doesn't make sense!

Thinking from another perspective, if he was Wang Zelin, he would have been mad enough to have played such an outstanding performance at this age.

But next, Nowitzki's performance brought Rick Carlisle a sigh of relief.

In the next round, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack.

Nowitzki asked for the ball low on the left wing. Although he missed a shot, it caused Wang Zelin's fourth foul of the game.

This is good news for the Mavericks.

Nowitzki got two free throws for a personal foul on a player who was shooting.

Wang Zelin shook his head, without arguing with the referee, but stood on the right side of the free throw line chewing his braces, waiting for Nowitzki to add a penalty.

The first penalty strikes...

en, seems to be the first free throw for Norwich in a game.

At this time, if there is a camera to capture it, it will definitely be posted. Wang Zelin on the court and Terry Stotts on the sideline, the two of them smiled almost at the same time after the penalty was imposed.

He is tired!

Dirk is tired!

The two thought so.

The key extra penalty actually missed a shot, and Nowitzki shook his hand angrily.

At this time, the arena sounded overwhelming boos, such as the surging waves hit Nowitzki.

call! call!

The adjustment time for the second penalty is a few seconds longer than the first...

Swish!

The ball goes in.

One of two free throws.

At 75:71, the score difference between the two teams is still 4 points.

Trail Blazers attack.

Wang Zelin continued to work in the low post, facing the tendency to make a shot, facing Dalem Potter's tendency to make a shot, and then quickly gave the ball to the right wing 45 degrees before Monta Ellis rushed over to double-team Matthews at the corner three.

"Make up! Hurry up..."

Rick Carlisle on the sidelines roared angrily.

The Mavericks point guard Calderon moved fast enough, but unfortunately it was too late, and Matthews took the ball very fast, and before the former jumped up, he had already successfully shot.

"Duang~"

Matthews failed to grasp the vacancy. After all, he is not a robot. After 31 minutes of playing, everyone will be tired.

The next moment, the four insiders in the low positions of the two wings gathered under the basket and rushed for rebounds.

By the way, there is also the nearest old Carter, a perimeter player.

Wang Zelin suddenly turned around, back to back with Dalem Potter, and successfully stuck him behind him.

"Snapped!"

At this time, the basketball bounced off the frame, and after contacting the backboard, it began to fall out, and was caught with one hand by Wang Zelin, who was the first.

The moment he landed, he immediately turned sideways to avoid Dalembert's entanglement, slammed on the spot, raised his right hand, and dunked the ball into the basket across Nowitzki and Carter on the left.

"boom!"

Wang Zelin hung on the basket with one hand and watched the basketball hit Carter's bare head.

The latter was caught off guard and didn't have time to dodge, and was hit on the head by the basketball, and then groaned in pain.

"Oh **** ho ho! Violent dunks!" The home announcer was excited and gushed: "Poor Vince Carter, he shouldn't have suffered, but let him have to enter the penalty area! Maybe he I have forgotten that he is no longer a UFO flying in the sky, and now the basket is the king's territory, a no-fly zone that cannot be challenged..."

After landing, Wang Zelin did not pay attention to Carter who was angry, but looked at Nowitzki: "Dirk, it seems that you are tired... But for me, the game has just started! You have lost the game!"

Seeing that Nowitzki didn't say a word, Wang Zelin shrugged and turned to defend.

Mavericks attack.

Seeing that Nowitzki did not ask for the ball this time, Monta Ellis was ready to move beyond the left-wing three-point line.

Only 11 points were scored tonight. For him, who has always regarded scoring as a treasure, he is simply suffering.

Since Dirk doesn't fight, let me do it instead.

Immediately afterwards, Monta Ellis moved to the top of the arc, took over the ball from Calderon, and at the moment when the latter moved to attract the attention of the Blazers players, he bypassed Matthews and entered the flank. As Hughes followed, he suddenly accelerated and headed towards the restricted area.

At this time, the left wing was low, and Aldridge stepped forward to make up the defense.

I saw Monta Ellis make an emergency stop, quickly change direction and pass Aldridge, and kill the ball to the penalty area.

At this time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com the basket is getting closer and closer, and the two points are close at hand.

Just when Monta Ellis breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Zelin risked a foul and pushed Dalem Potter away with a slight push. Feeling in time, he took off and blocked the shot.

"Snapped!"

Monta Ellis's layup was pressed on the rebound by Wang Zelin at the last moment.

"Damn!"

Looking at Wang Zelin who took off the rebound, he was very depressed.

Isn't this guy tired?

I don't see how tired Nowitzki is, how can this guy have nothing at all?

The Blazers went down quickly, and Beverley rushed to the front. After he received a long pass from Wang Zelin at the top of the arc on the opposite three-point line, he faced the unguarded Mavericks penalty area and made an easy layup.

At 79:71, the score difference was approaching 10 points.
