NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

About to play, Wang Zelin stood on the sidelines and looked at the Clippers.

On the Clippers side, Paul, Griffin, and Jordan just forgot to come.

Wang Zelin first showed a provocative smile, and Jordan couldn't bear to show his weakness, and raised his fist at him.

In an instant, the fighting spirit of both sides soared!

The commentary seat of the court platform.

"I mentioned the status of life and death, it belongs to yes."

Yang Jian said excitedly.

At this time, the teammates surrounded Wang Zelin and put their hands up one after another.

Wang Zelin glanced at his teammates and shouted loudly, "Brothers, what is our goal tonight?"

"Blast them!"

"Blast the other side!"

Beverley and Batum roared first, then the others.

"That's right, tonight we're going to let one chase the other, and slap the faces of those in the media who don't think highly of us!"

On the jump ball, Wang Zelin was concentrating and touched the ball first. Batum took the ball and took it over half court, which would eventually flood the Clippers' backcourt like a tide.

With a powerful impact, Wang Zelin rampaged all the way and entered the paint area.

Jordan, who was jumping the ball, failed to catch up in time, and Griffin did not block Wang Zelin, but retreated directly to the basket.

Batum faced the defense of Matt Barnes and still passed the ball accurately.

Wang Zelin caught the ball in the air and collided with Griffin.

With a loud bang, the 115kg Griffin was knocked away. Then, with a bang, Wang Zelin smashed the ball into the basket.

2:0, the Blazers lead away.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

The speed of the Clippers' position falling faster than everyone expected, Wang Zelin shouted at his teammates amid the exclamations of the audience.

Paul took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, when Lillard stepped forward to interfere.

He looked at Griffin's side, and the experienced Aldridge had cut off the passing line between the two.

Then, he was about to call Jordan for a pick-and-roll, but found that the latter was stuck under the basket by Wang Zelin and could barely move.

In desperation, he could only choose to single out Lillard.

Seeing this, Doc Rivers on the bench shook his head secretly. Paul performed really well in these two series of games. He scored 7 three-pointers in the first game to get 32+12, and played again in the second game. 19+11 performance.

As of the second round of the series so far, the Clippers are the leading scorers, assists, and steals in Paul.

Paul's state is blind and fiery.

It's just that Doc Rivers knows that Paul is not an offensive defender in the true sense after all, and his biggest role on the field is to organize and control the field.

One or two games are fine. It is impossible to unload a series. The Clippers not only rely on Paul to organize, but also rely on him for the responsibility of the core of the offense... This is unrealistic.

You have to worry about what is coming.

on the field.

In the face of Lillard's defense, seeing his teammates hopeless, Paul came to the basket after breaking through and tried to throw, but was startled by Wang Zelin, who came over from the defense, and immediately changed to an emergency stop to throw a ball and bounced out of the basket. .

Wang Zelin didn't turn around and force the handle immediately, but moved the card position first after pre-judging, and blocked Griffin and Jordan by himself.

In the end, Aldridge grabbed the rebound and threw it to Lillard.

Lillard quickly broke with the ball. After arriving in the frontcourt, seeing Paul who had returned to the free throw line area, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

The next moment, he stopped the ball outside the three-point line, a move that stunned the fans and commentators in the stands.

"No way?"

"Do you want to be so brave!"

Yang Jian and Ma Jian looked at each other, confused.

Immediately afterwards, the hunch in the hearts of everyone came true.

After seeing Lillard stop the ball, without any hesitation, he took the shot decisively.

"Fake!"

Paul couldn't help but complain in his heart. It's a pity that he was far away at this time, so he couldn't interfere in time. He could only turn around and rush to the basket immediately after Lillard shot.

Don't go in!

Don't go in!

"Shh!"

Before looking up, there was a crisp sound of piercing the net not far away.

Lillard scored three in the frontcourt to help the team lead the Clippers 5:0.

"pretty!"

"Bold but cautious!"

"Crazy enough! But I like it."

On the other side of the ocean, the fans in front of the TV jumped with excitement.

"Huh! The Blazers started very well today, I hope they can continue to maintain it in the future."

Ma Jian said something lukewarm.

Without waiting for the dead ball, Doc Rivers called a timeout ahead of time.

As soon as the players came, he hurriedly warned:

"Blake, DeAndre, you two, don't tangle with them too much at the rim, run a little bit more, or come out and play pick-and-rolls with Chriss.

Matt, and JJ, you have to look for vacancies outside the three-point line. When the opportunity arises, Chris will pass it to you as soon as possible, and you must not be soft at that time. "

Before the Blazers bench, Tristes also made personnel adjustments, replacing Lillard, who had just scored a three-pointer, and Beverley, and explained:

"Offensively, Wang, you and LaMarcus are going all out, looking for opportunities to kill at the basket.

Defensively, Patrick, you have a tough job defending tonight, but my request remains the same, Chris Paul must give me a good look. "

The coaches of both sides simply said a few words, the timeout ended, and the game continued.

TNT live room.

Barkley: "It's unimaginable that the Blazers actually replaced Damian Lillard, who had just hit the first 3-pointer of the opening, and replaced him with another level of Patrick Beverley."

Another commentator, Steve Kerr, smiled:

"Maybe it was a change made for Chris. After all, in the first game, we have seen how fierce the firepower is when we let go of Chris!"

Barkley nodded in agreement, then turned his attention back to the game.

"The next step is man-to-man defense. LaMarcus, pay more attention to pestering Griffin when transitioning, don't let him quickly return to defense."

After Wang Zelin came on the court, he raised his eyebrows.

Clippers attack.

Jordan was in a low position on the right wing. Wang Zelin mentioned the underside of the right elbow. He focused all his attention on Paul, who was holding the ball, and kept a distance of three meters from Jordan.

"This kid, is it too underestimated?"

After seeing that he was completely empty, Jordan was instantly furious and immediately moved to the basket.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin just moved to the free throw line and did not return to the basket.

In other words, he still left Jordan three meters empty.

Paul outside was also a little helpless. The three-meter gap seemed to be an opportunity, but in fact, the boy was absolutely capable of returning to the defense that day. This is digging a hole for him!

Paul didn't dare to pass, and observed the positions of other teammates while dribbling.

But at this time, Beverley suddenly grabbed and formed a close contact with Paul. The latter hurried to dodge sideways, and then wanted to move and leave the top of the arc.

He knew that once he was forced to stop at the top of the arc by Beverley, Wang Zelin, who was under the free throw line, would definitely step up to double-team as soon as possible.

Alas, who let Jordan leave the three-second zone, there is almost no offensive threat.

Paul's inner prediction was right.

When Wang Zelin, who was under the free throw line, saw Paul turning sideways, he immediately started the first step in the front and jumped to the top of the arc at once.

"Double-team? Very decisive... Strong, Beverly steals Paul, fast break and counterattack!"

Yang Jian suddenly shouted loudly.

As soon as he was put on the court, Beverley made an extraordinary contribution, successfully robbing Paul, and quickly got off the ball with the ball.

At this time, both Griffin and Jordan are in the low post, and they can only hope to return to the defense. After Beverley came to the Clippers halftime, he was not greedy for merit. In the face of Paul's entanglement, he passed the ball to the ground and handed the ball to Wang Zelin, who was following the two.

There is a Matt Barnes standing on the inside of the Clippers, but how can he withstand the impact of Wang Zelin?

One step, two steps... Seeing Wang Zelin getting closer and closer to him, Mark Barnes took his heart. He didn't want to be crushed into a patty, so he flashed away decisively.

"boom!"

Wang Zelin soared into the air and blew the Clippers basket again.

7:0!

The Blazers beat the Clippers 7-0 as soon as they came up.

Such a startling start, I am afraid that no one dared to imagine before the game.

After hesitating for a while, Doc Rivers on the Clippers bench put down his hand that was about to call a timeout.

He chose to trust Paul one more time.

Clippers attack.

Paul broke through with the ball from beyond the right-wing three-point line and entered the short-corner zone on the right-wing.

This was a rare open opportunity. Batum, who was defending Mark Barnes, was attracted by Paul's breakthrough momentum and turned to make up for it.

As long as this open 3-pointer can be hit, the Clippers' declining morale can be improved. Can Mark Barnes grasp it?

"Duang~"

Paul's eyes full of anticipation dimmed instantly.

"oops!"

In the stands, the home fans wailed in unison.

Mark Barnes struck the iron with a large open space, and Wang Zelin took the rebound and went straight down with the ball.

"The king is going! Go ahead, let the other side feel hopeless!"

Barkley's expression gradually became agitated.

In fact, he can't blame him for this attitude, it is really a bit too unexpected to start the third game of the Clippers and Blazers series tonight.

The Clippers, who had been terrific in the Rose Garden in the first two games, began to slump when they arrived at the home court.

Such a Clipper is undoubtedly disappointing.

To stop the disappointment of the fans, the Clippers must let go of the Blazers’ goal. If the Blazers are allowed to score again, it will really be shameless to see their hometown elders from the stands.

This time, Jordan was well prepared. With two long legs, he easily caught up with Wang Zelin without the ball sprinting.

"Bastard, do you want to score again! I'll slam your hat to the ground!"

Little Jordan spit out angrily.

"Come on, you soft bastard, I'll put you down with one hand and advise you to stay away from me. I'm afraid your dirty blood will eventually splash on me."

Wang Zelin spouted back.

He said he passed the ball to Beverley on the left, and got tangled up with Jordan.

Seeing Wang Zelin passing the ball, Jordan was about to speed up and chase Beverley, but Wang Zelin suddenly stopped him.

Beverley doesn't have the courage of Lillard, or in other words, he doesn't have Lillard's status in the team, but he doesn't dare to learn from Lillard. What kind of emergency stop to chase after three points, or to honestly advance to the basket down, and honestly put the ball into the basket.

Very unpretentious layup, but the victory is safe.

No, coach Terry Stotts on the sidelines nodded to Beverley's choice.

9:0.

"Oh! The Blazers got off to a fantastic 9-0 start. It's unimaginable that they lost the first game against a Clipper like this. It's unbelievable!"

Barkley put his head in his hands and matched the exaggerated expression, which made the fans in front of the TV can't help laughing.

Kerr shook his head with a smile and said, "Is there a possibility that the Blazers underestimated the Clippers in the first two teams?"

"Haha, Steve, I don't know about this," Barkley also laughed out loud, and then his expression suddenly turned serious when he looked at the camera:

"But I have to remind that if the Clippers can't make timely and correct adjustments next, then this game, I am very optimistic about the Blazers winning."

At the other end, San Antonio, Simavic, who was watching the game, nodded slightly after hearing what Barkley said.

If the Blazers really accomplish the feat of letting one chase after the other, then the Spurs will really have to prepare for this Blazers team.

To be honest, the Spurs really don't want to meet the Blazers in the Western Conference finals. It's not that they fear the Blazers, it's because the Blazers' overall strength has improved a lot this year.

Coupled with the fact that most of the Blazers are young people, if they are accidentally dragged into a protracted battle, it will be quite unfavorable for the Spurs, whose core is a few veterans in their thirties.

Clippers attack.

The others pulled away, and Paul gave Griffin, who singled out Aldridge at the rim.

The White Warcraft, who is entering the fourth year of his career, seems to be entering the peak of his career this season. He averaged more than 24 points per game in the regular season and became the scoring leader in the team. A person with a head and a face.

And unlike the Houston World of Warcraft, the offense still depends on the body and the technique is single; while Griffin relies on his physical talent to play, he also does not forget to practice delicate techniques, and the distance between the baskets in one hand is becoming more and more accurate.

It can be said that Griffin at this time, even the defense that was criticized in the early years, has reached the level above the qualified line of the active interior line this season... Although it is not a good helper.

After all, the wingspan is there, and the fans can understand it.

By the way, why this year's Griffin is gradually recognized by many outside media and fans as not at his peak?

A career-high average of 21 points per game in a single season is a major factor. Another major factor is that Griffin was ranked in the top 5 of the MVP list by ESPN and other authoritative media this year.

As we all know, who can be listed on the MVP list are all ruthless characters. In particular, players who can rank in the top 5 or even the top 3 in a single season~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are absolute superstars.

Obviously, in the eyes of the outside world, this year's Griffin has been eligible to be pulled into the discussion ranks of the superstar list.

The three people in front of Griffin are the third James, the second Durant, and the first Wang Zelin!

From this, we can see how good Griffin played this year.

Back to topic.

Facing Aldrich's defense, Griffin suddenly took a step forward, leaned on the former to complete his turn to the right, and before Wang Zelin's defense in the short corner of the right wing arrived, he entered the paint area and took off for a layup.

At 2:9, the Clippers finally scored the first goal of the game.

Seeing the ball scored, Paul and Doc Rivers both breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's Blazers put too much pressure on the Clippers, and if this shot is still screwed up, I am afraid that the spittle of the home fans will drown them.

Fortunately, Gelifen lived up to expectations.
