NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

On the Blazers side, everyone arrived in Los Angeles on the morning of the 16th. Wang Zelin took a look at the rankings in the Western Conference and analyzed the situation of the bottom four in the Western Conference.

Just yesterday, the No. 15 Dallas Mavericks ended their entire regular season schedule. The record was finally fixed at 49 wins and 33 losses, with a winning rate of 59.8%, and is still ranked eighth in the Western Conference.

As for the ninth-ranked Lakers, after losing to the Thunder, except for the closing ceremony against the Trail Blazers, the remaining two opponents were very mediocre, namely the Kings and the Jazz, which were quite low in the Western Conference.

The Lakers deserved to win these two games, which also made the competition between the Lakers and the Mavericks for the eighth place in the Western Conference intense to the extreme.

According to the league's ranking rules for two NBA teams with the same winning percentage, the Mavericks ranked eighth in the eighth place due to the high score difference and a narrow and dangerous lead over the Lakers.

The only way for the Lakers to get to the playoffs right now is to beat the Blazers tonight.

But is it possible?

Yes, but it's hard!

Wang Zelin was still a little excited when he saw that his team's win or loss would affect the ownership of the last playoff ticket in the West.

In fact, whether it is a win or a loss, it does not affect the Blazers' top ranking in the league. After all, they have already won 67 games, and it is fully guaranteed that no one can overtake them.

But if they win this game, it seems that the stakes are not great, because they can't make them into the 70-win field.

Strictly speaking, this game is the last chance for the Blazers to select their opponents in the first round of the regular season.

In fact, for Wang Zelin and the others, no matter whether the opponent in the first round is the Lakers or the Mavericks, they actually feel that it has little impact. Because in the previous regular season contest between the Blazers and the Lakers and Mavericks, the Blazers all won.

But in the opinion of coach Terry Stotts and general manager Nell Olsey, since they can decide their opponents in the first round, why not choose the one with a better chance of winning the game?

After the game against the Cavaliers on the 14th, the Blazers' coaching staff and management had a heated discussion, and finally came to a result on the night of the 15th.

…

In the afternoon, Wang Zelin joined the team, went to the Staples Arena, and entered the rhythm of the game.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Lakers: Marshall, Kobe, Nick Young, Pau Gasol, Robert Thackeray.

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Connet Lee, Will Barton, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zelin.

On the 16th, as the closing game of the regular season of the NBA season, a total of 15 games were arranged, and there was no shortage of strong matches.

How could it be?

This game between the Lakers and the Blazers has attracted a lot of attention, and it can even be said to be the first in the league!

Especially in China, the number of viewers of this game is several times higher than that of other games at the same time.

On one side, there is the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant, the league's most famous and fan base; on the other side, after Yao Ming played for the Mosaic team, another NBA team with Chinese players as the core - the Portland Trail Blazers.

What's more, Yi Jianlian is still in the Blazers team. The only two members of the league are of Chinese descent, both of whom are playing for the Blazers, so it's no wonder that the attention is not high.

However, when the starting lists of both sides came out, especially the starting list of the Trail Blazers, it immediately caused an uproar.

On the courtroom's commentary stand, Zhang Lili and Yu Jia are the two people who came to do the live commentary tonight. They can also be called a pair of ceilings in the domestic basketball commentary.

Yu Jia said: "Mr. Zhang, in the closing game tonight, the Blazers chose to rest all three main players, Will Matthews, Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge, and only Lila at No. 1. The king at No. 5 of Dehe has not changed, what do you think their intention is to adjust like this?"

Zhang Lili coughed twice and sat upright: "First of all, judging from the previous matches between the two teams and the actual situation, although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that it is really difficult for the Lakers to beat the Blazers..."

"But I don't think that's the root cause of Coach Terry Stotts' disdain for the Lakers, otherwise he wouldn't be in that lineup."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Yu Jia was very cooperative and put on a puzzled look.

"To put it bluntly, Tristos is choosing an opponent in the first round of the playoffs for the Trail Blazers." First expressing his point of view, Zhang Lili continued:

"We all know that the outcome of tonight's game is related to the final ownership of the eighth in the West. If the Lakers lose, they will completely miss the eighth place, but once the Lakers win, they will be able to overtake in the last game and get the last place in the West. a playoff ticket."

Yu Jia silently added: "That is to say, Dawang and the others believe that it is more certain to beat the Lakers in the first round than the Mavericks!"

"So far, that's how it looks."

…

Over on TNT, Barkley and O'Neal are in charge of explaining tonight's live broadcast.

Barkley said: "The three main players were rested as soon as they came up? Shaquille, it seems that the Lakers have a playoff game."

"In this way, Wang and the others decided to choose the latter as their opponent in the first round of the futures match between the Mavericks and the Lakers," O'Neal said.

"But more than this, I want to see what Kobe's face will look like at this time? I know the pride in that guy's heart better than anyone else. To him, the Blazers' actions tonight are definitely a kind of charity... But However, he still has to accept the king's alms!"

"Hahahaha! It's so funny!"

"…"

Barkley on the side felt a little speechless. He wanted to ask, buddy, is this what the media said about you and Kobe's former quarrel?

Good guy, in terms of eating melons and watching the excitement, O'Neal is probably bigger than many fans.

But sometimes, when O'Neal talks about it, Barkley himself is very curious about Kobe's current inner thoughts.

the other side.

The lens is given to the arena.

Originally, Kobe wanted to get the last victory and let the Lakers advance to the playoffs. Yesterday he has been concerned about the outcome of the Mavericks' last away game against the Heat.

Knowing that Nowitzki's performance was mediocre and the Mavericks lost the last game, he was so excited.

If yesterday he saw the dawn of the Lakers promotion.

So now, when he saw the Lakers' starting roster, the light suddenly became extremely dazzling.

Although he never went to college, Kobe has never stopped learning about knowledge. Whether it is emotional intelligence or IQ, he is even higher than many players in the NBA who have been in college for one or two years.

Therefore, Kobe quickly understood the intention of the Trail Blazers' closing game.

Pick the Lakers as your opponent in the first round! ?
