NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

At present, the Blazers have the highest transaction value in the team, and Aldridge and Wang Zelin are the first to be promoted, and they can already exchange 1-for-1 with the core of other teams.

The second is Lillard, adding some chips and exchanging the core of some teams is still no problem.

Finally, there are Batum and Matthews. Their brothers cannot reach the level of exchanging cores, but if the Blazers just want to trade between starting-level players with other strong teams, they do have the same level of players. higher transaction value.

However, judging from the current team chemistry, at least in these two seasons, the Blazers management is not planning to make major changes to the team structure.

What they need to do is how to make the Trailblazers stronger on the basis of maintaining the existing combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Nel Arsi quickly put down his inner melancholy and put his short-term goal on the team's top 14 list.

Yes, don't look at the record of the Blazers this year, but in fact, their team roster has not yet reached the 15-man limit required by the league.

In other words, the current strength of the Blazers actually has room for further improvement, which depends on the operation of the team's management.

Now, from the 2014 NBA trade deadline to February 21, there is still about a month left. As the trade deadline approaches, the current trading market has begun to surge again.

Nell Olsey is busy panning for gold in the trading market, the team's last reinforcement spot, and he doesn't want to waste it like this.

This time, after the unanimous consultation between the coaching staff and the management team, they also asked about the main players of the team, and finally chose an outside blue-collar, preferably one that can be swayed by front and back.

Review the Blazers' current team structure.

Needless to say, the bench player at the point guard position has Mo Williams on offense and Beverley on defense. While maintaining healthy competition, the two players with very different styles also allow the Blazers to face different opponents. The opponent's No. 1 position has more options.

As for the three positions of small forward, power forward and center, Batum, Aldridge and Wang Zelin also have two backup players behind them, which are enough to deal with most situations.

So the team will put the last spot on the backup point guard above.

Connett Lee is excellent on offense and defense, and can be regarded as a model of the best 3D player, but if possible, Nell Olshey doesn't mind having another such high-quality substitute on the team.

The ancients said: If the heart is not enough, the snake swallows the elephant!

But there is also a saying: How bold a man is, how prosperous the land is.

And there is such an old man in China, and after decades of hard work with his team, he really did it!

It is precisely because they want more that the Blazers management and coaching staff have so many happy troubles.

If you are only satisfied with temporary gains and losses, just relying on the team's current 36-6 start, the Blazers will not be able to fall into the ranks of the Western playoffs, no matter how bad the regular season ends, how can they attract about 55 wins? The record, everyone can open champagne to celebrate.

It is true that the Blazers are playing more and more cautiously, and every step of the next schedule is walking on thin ice.

The reason is that everyone on the team has already tasted the taste of the Western Conference last season... Although everyone felt a little surprised at the time, it was finally tried, so this year everyone wants to try a different taste.

For example, first set a small goal ~ the championship? !

...

After an hour, the players left the field and went back to prepare. Leaving behind the management and coaching staff, they continued to stay in the conference room with melancholy.

Tonight, the Blazers' opponent is Thunder, and they are playing back-to-back. Although yesterday's loud and tough did not consume too much energy from everyone, Thunder can't be underestimated after all!

In the 4 games with the Thunder this season, the Blazers wanted to win every one of them, not for anything else, but to leave a strong mark on the hearts of the opposing players in the regular season. In this way, if the two teams really meet in the playoffs, the Thunder will definitely be the one to be timid before the battle.

Tonight is the 3rd match between the two teams this season.

In the first two fights, Wang Zelin broke out and scored a large double-double with 31 points and 13 rebounds, and finally led the Blazers to win the first fight.

In the second match, Westbrook broke out, scoring 41 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds and a quasi-triple-double.

Therefore, in the third game tonight, from the management to the players, both sides paid special attention from top to bottom.

After Wang Zelin led his teammates to the Energy Arena, he found that all the Thunder players had appeared on the training ground, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

After seeing the figure of the Blazers No. 36 appear, Durant stopped the shooting action in his hand, and passed a fiery look in the air.

Wang Zelin quickly noticed it, turned his head, and looked at Durant across the air.

After a while, the two sides looked back.

"Hmph, you must look good later!"

Durant flicked his wrist fiercely, and suddenly an acceleration started, and it was a one-armed tomahawk when he entered the basket...

"boom!"

A loud bang instantly spread throughout the arena.

"Yo, it's so hot!"

Batum screamed strangely.

Matthews turned his head and looked at Wang Zelin: "Isn't this one?"

"necessary!"

Wang Zelin just took off his jersey, grabbed a basketball, dropped Matthews, and rushed to the basket.

"Snapped!"

After catching the ball, Matthews smiled knowingly, seized the opportunity, and hit the ground hard...

"boom!"

The next moment, there was a loud noise from the other half.

"Oh hoo hoo hoo!"

The media reporters who were already present on the sidelines raised their cameras one after another and excitedly "clicked".

After Durant deducted one, the reporters already noticed that something was wrong on the field, and they were mentally prepared in advance.

Sure enough, on the Blazers' side, Wang Zelin Matthews' hit-to-the-ground pass returned a big windmill swipe in the air with both hands.

"This kid!"

Durant's teeth were itchy, and he immediately yelled at Westbrook: "Russell, let's have one too!"

"Uh, okay!"

Seeing Durant in this state, Westbrook knew that he would be blind if he talked too much now, so he might as well let the former vent first.

"Hey David, look at Thunder!"

On the sidelines, a Sports Illustrated reporter hurriedly reminded the photographer beside him.

"understood."

The photographer named David responded and quickly turned the camera towards the Thunder's half court.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Westbrook and Durant standing at 45-degree angles on both sides of the three-point line. Westbrook took the lead and rushed forward. Durant slowed down and followed closely behind.

After coming near the left free throw line, Westbrook grabbed the ball with his right hand and smashed it from bottom to top, hitting the middle of the rebound and rebounding quickly.

"drink!"

Durant accelerated in an instant, took two steps forward and took off, grabbing the rebounded basketball with his right hand, and it was a violent dunk with one arm in the air.

"Oh, mygod! Oh, mygod!"

"Are we here at the slam dunk contest?"

"Are you sure KD didn't participate in this year's slam dunk contest?"

The reporters on the sidelines couldn't bear it any longer, and they all screamed.

"KD! KD! KD..."

At this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ hundreds of fans who entered the arena in advance shouted Durant's name, and at the same time they were rejoicing in their hearts: they had just entered the arena early when they had nothing to do, but it didn't happen. Can witness such a good show.

"Damien, get me one too!"

Although there are not more than 1,000 people in the Energy Arena, the atmosphere at this time has been brought to the extreme. Batum couldn't bear it anymore. After taking off his jersey, Lillard roared.

"No problem, man!"

Lillard immediately recalled with a smile.

"Look this way! Look this way..."

The reporters were already flushed, and they were extremely excited by this extra joy.

Then...

Inside the Energy Arena, the two teams slammed into each other for dunks, and the shouting was even more fiery.
