NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

There are a lot of metaphysical things in the NBA, one of which is called the injury wave.

The wave of injuries, as the name suggests, is the successive occurrence of injuries among the players, as if the injuries are contagious.

The new season has been played for a month now, and many teams have more or less experienced players who are suddenly injured and absent.

The worst case is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

During the preseason, the Thunder had already reported that Durant fractured his right ankle and is expected to miss the first two months of the game.

As a result, in the Thunder's next game against the Clippers, just after the opening game with the Blazers, Westbrook was injured in an accidental right hand in the world and retired.

According to the Thunder's injury report after the game, Westbrook suffered a fractured right hand and took a break for more than half a month, waiting until the last game at the end of November before returning.

On November 28, in the Thunder away game against the New York Knicks, Westbrook scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists with a quasi-triple-double data.

However, this did not change the Thunder in the first 18 games, with only a record of 5 wins and 13 losses, and only ranked 11th in the Western Conference.

Other teams, such as the Pacers, Bulls, Knicks in the East, the Suns, Pelicans, and Hornets in the West, have all won the bids one after another in the near future.

The Blazers should be regarded as the last team to be hit by injuries, but everything has limitations. After the November game, they will inevitably encounter the first game in December.

Aldridge was unfortunate enough to be the first.

At this stage, including the Blazers, everyone is afraid of injuries.

It's just, according to Murphy's Law: Sometimes the more afraid of something, the more something will happen.

On December 4th, after the Blazers easily defeated the Pacers without Paul George at 98:82 at home, they ushered in the longest wave of 5 consecutive visitors of the new season.

There's an old saying: You always have to pay back when you come out.

The league arranged for the Blazers to give the Blazers a generous and easy opening schedule, and now it's time to go back.

In addition to the Bulls, the opponents of the next 5 consecutive visitors are very mediocre.

...

...

At 8 p.m. on November 7th, the Blazers played away to the Knicks.

The Knicks' record this season is extremely bad, and the new season has swooped all the way to the bottom of the Eastern Conference. As the core of the team, Carmelo Anthony may not be able to hold it anymore. Because he has been fighting with a left knee injury, in the past 21 games, Anthony has played 10 games one after another, and his attendance rate has barely exceeded 5. to make.

According to sources, Anthony's left knee will have to undergo surgery to recover.

Perhaps it was because of worry about the Knicks' poor record, or perhaps because he still had extravagant hopes for the playoffs. In the last game the Knicks played against the Charlotte Hornets, the bottom team in the Eastern Conference, Anthony endured injury. Due to the pain of the disease, the audience scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 1-of-22 shooting, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

At 102:103, the Knicks finally lost to the Hornets by one point.

After this battle, the Knicks' record officially came to 4 wins and 16 losses, almost grabbing the Charlotte Hornets' 13th position in the Eastern Conference.

Yes, Hornets head coach Steve Clifford is expected to be scolded by their management after the game.

Wouldn't it be fragrant if you put it in a good way?

Have to play heartbeat?

What lore to play?

Of course, at least according to the reaction of Hornets owner Jordan at the scene yesterday, Mr. Qiao was still very excited after seeing Kemba Walker hit a key two-point lore at the last moment.

I just don't know if he is excited about the team's 5th win of the new season, or whether he is excited about Kemba Walker's performance this season.

Judging from the current progress of the game, Kemba Walker played 18 games for the Hornets, averaging 19 points, 5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.

If Kemba Walker can really be selected as an All-Star this year, it is estimated that Mr. Joe will be much happier than he is now.

No way, the impression of who made Mr. Qiao's draft vision "unique" has been deeply ingrained in the fan community.

How he wished someone could come out and help him raise his eyebrows.

well, let's get back to business.

Anthony, who was crazy to carry but could not lead his team to win, was in a bad mood when he was interviewed after the game.

Especially when one thinks that their opponent in their next game will be the Blazers, who are currently hard to beat...

The only good thing is that Aldridge is injured.

However, Anthony and his teammates know that you have a problem with the top and bottom this season, otherwise you wouldn't be playing so badly.

Even if the Blazers lack Aldridge, the Knicks probably won't be able to do it.

Wang Zelin took a look at Anthony's player rating before the game. Injured, he has fallen below the superstar level, and now it's only 87.

It was only then that he remembered that even after knee surgery this season, the melons who used to score on the offensive end could not come back.

Melon, gradually turned into bitter gourd!

Anthony is currently averaging 23 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal per game, and now barely ranks seventh in the scoring list.

The starting lineup sent by the Nuggets tonight is Jose Calderon, Iman Shumbert, Quincy Ashe, Carmelo Anthony, and Amarre Stoudemire.

In the starting lineup sent by the Blazers, except for the power forward, which became Adams, the other four positions have not changed from the past.

In the face of the inside pair of Anthony and Stoudemire, the Blazers have been accelerating the pace since the beginning of the game, maximized their advantages, and avoided grinding positions with the Knicks as much as possible.

Now, both Anthony and Stoudemire have long lived up to the courage of the past, and the injuries are slow and slow.

The key is that the defensive contribution of these two guys on the field is about 0, and the real defense is tens of thousands of barrels.

Although on the offensive end, the Knicks reluctantly grabbed the score with Anthony's excellent feel at the start, but in the first quarter, Wang Zelin and Lillard played the whole quarter, Vince Carter, Anthony Morrow, Yi Jianlian, Joki The odd four played in rotation one after another. The Trail Blazers and the Nuggets played a 33:27 game and took a 6-point lead.

Looking at Wang Zelinlin's madness and physical strength, he scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter. The 11 points and 2 assists swept the Blazers' first half of the attack, and both blocks were sent to the two without hesitation. On Anthony, who was attacking in the second low position, not only Anthony, but even the home fans on the court were stunned by Wang Zelin's life-threatening play.

Recently, due to the fear of injury, a large number of players have tacitly reduced their playing time, and a small number of extreme teams are facing fish-belly opponents, but the threat of a fine by the league has directly put the main force into the rotation. .

The Spurs said: Don't cue!

Obviously everyone has to stop playing, why is Wang Zelin so crazy when he is playing away games, is he really not affected by physical strength?

Or a real head iron!

Anthony said he did not understand.

But when he saw the figure of No. 36 on the court, who was running at both ends of the offense and defense, he could only smile bitterly:

"This young man..."

In the second quarter, Wang Zelin played with the lineup of Beverley, Connet Lee, Will Barton and Yi Jianlian.

The Knicks, who are understaffed on the opposite side, can only respond passively, first excluding the lineup of Tim Hardaway II, Jr Smith, Anthony, Dalem Potter and Jason Smith.

This lineup has two players with a height of more than 2 meters and 10 meters. With the height of the inside line, Anthony also returned to the most familiar No. 3 position. Logically speaking, he should have been released.

However, in fact, when Anthony has a poor outside feel and has to switch to a low-post attack, he needs to free up interior space.

As a result, the idea of ​​the Knicks sending two big men to strengthen the interior defense is completely empty.

And once Anthony turned on the individual singles mode and was out of touch with the team system, the rest of the Knicks could only become spectators. The longer they watched, the more they felt cooler.

At the end of the half, at 57:45, the Blazers had a 12-point lead.

However, they seem to be too happy.

In the second half, we changed sides and fought again. As soon as Matthews came up, he fell in the collision with Anthony during the defense. When he came down to check, he tore the ligament. It is very likely that he will miss the game for 5 weeks, and the rest time will even exceed Aldridge. .

Not long after entering December, the team injured two generals, which made the Blazers players a little nervous.

I heard it on the news before. A few days ago, **** was injured. Yesterday, **** broke a bone. Now, is this the **** injury that found them?

Injuries like this can only be avoided as much as possible.

But once it really comes, you can only grit your teeth and accept it.

When Matthews left the court with an injury, Coach Terry's first reaction was to replace Wang Zelin and Lillard, who had played the entire first half.

The team's starting five tigers have now lost two members. Next, Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Batum, no matter who is injured, the Blazers' strength will be severely affected.

If the next person injured is Wang Zelin, then the consequences can be imagined. The overall strength of the Trail Blazers and Trail Blazers dropped by a grade is said to be small.

Coach Terry found Lillard and Wang Zelin and discussed it, but he still couldn't beat them.

"Coach, as long as you put more effort and work hard now, the difference will be broken by 20. If you really want to rest, it's better for us to blow the opponent directly in the third quarter, so that the game will not be dragged out. It's too long, and there's plenty of rest in the fourth quarter."

"Yes, coach."

Coach Terry didn't quite accept the advice of Wang Zhelin and Lillard. Speaking from his heart, he would rather lose this game than see someone on the team injured again.

But here is the NBA after all, not the NCAA, and the players are the core of a team.

What's more, after getting along for a few years, he has a good understanding of Wang Zelin and Lillard's strong desire to compete and win. No matter how much he holds an objection at this time, neither of them will agree.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and sent a lineup of Lillard, Morrow, Batum, Jokic, and Wang Zelin.

Since he wanted to give it a go and wanted to take it away in this disaster, he decided to choose. The Blazers lineup with the strongest offensive ability in the interior is ruled out.

The Knicks.

Anthony suddenly felt a little regretful, knowing that young people are so fierce now, he should have accepted the recommendation of the team doctor for knee surgery sooner.

Anyway, with the current record, the team basically won't enter the playoffs.

Thinking of this, Anthony himself didn't notice it, and his own desire to play has gradually declined.

In the second half of the third quarter, Wang Zelin completely turned on the death-defying mode. He scored 10 points and 3 rebounds in 7 minutes in a single quarter, and also sent out 2 blocks.

Thanks to his excellent performance, the Nuggets were quickly opened up by the Trail Blazers by a huge point difference. At 75:54, the point difference has exceeded 20 points.

The New York Knicks are not a strong team in the first place, so what about the culture and toughness of the game.

In the past 4 seasons, one has been to the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. In the 2013-2014 season that just passed, there were no tickets for the playoffs. This year's record has dropped all the way to the bottom of the Eastern Conference. A kind of performance of breaking the jar.

...

Wang Zelin scored 34 points, 16 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first three quarters, helping the Trail Blazers establish a 28-point advantage as soon as they entered the distal quarter, and also brought unparalleled tremendous pressure to the Knicks.

What's worse is that the first offense in the distal quarter was the Blazers.

Lillard advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and when he reached the frontcourt, he called a pick-and-roll to Wang Zelin.

After the pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin was not in the high position this time, but quickly cut down and plunged straight into the Knicks' abdomen.

At the same time, Lillard, who was at the top of the arc, did not shoot three after receiving the screen. He immediately smashed his hands and passed the ball to Wang Zelin with one hit.

"Snapped!"

Wang Zelin looked back to catch the ball, cut into the middle and sprinted at full speed, stepped into the paint area one step, and jumped up again.

At this moment, the huge body was gliding in the air, extremely stretched.

boom! ! !

The next moment, the Knicks' basket was blown over.

The explosive bombing, the extremely violent conflict, and the display of power and brutality instantly made people feel adrenaline and scalp tingling, and made the entire Madison Square Garden boil.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

It should be said that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Madison Square Garden fans are really good at it. When the home team played badly they really dared to boo, and when the away team played hard, they also really cheered.

At this moment, the Nuggets players on the court felt a little embarrassed. It was their home court, but they played like an away game.

After this goal, the score on the field became 92:62, and the score difference between the two sides reached 30 points.

The Knicks coach immediately called a timeout, and not long after, when the game started again, the Knicks lineup had all become substitutes.

Knicks, surrender!
