NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

"Blake, I think I'm wrong. In fact, you played very well in the last game. Today...you played very well. Don't play again next time!"

After the game, in front of Griffin, Wang Zelin tried his best to control it, holding back his laughter, and suggested solemnly.

"Hey, just laugh if you want! The next game is in Los Angeles, we'll see!"

Griffin turned around and left.

But he turned around and just took two steps, and there was a crazy laughter behind him, and he stopped for a few seconds before quickly leaving the scene.

Losing the same night as the Clippers, and Meng Long's trash brother, the Cavaliers won two consecutive games in a row.

At 115:84, Menglong defeated the opponent by 31 points, which was even more unbearable than the 89:108 in the previous game.

Among them, many people expressed incomprehension about the stealth behavior of DeMar DeRozan, the star of the Menglong team, at a critical moment.

In the past two games, DeRozan scored 18 points in G1 and 20 in G2, although not as good as the previous series, but averaging 20+ per game is not too bad.

But data is often deceiving.

Because in the two games of DeRozan, more than half of the points were obtained in the first half. In the second half, when the team really needed him to stand up and respond to James, DeRozan suddenly disappeared.

In the G1 battle, he scored 16 points on 8 of 13 shots in the first half, and only 2 points in 1 of 4 in the second half. In the final quarter, there were 0 shots, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks...

Even mistakes and fouls are all linked to 0!

Pure Class A criminal behavior.

When it comes to the G2 battle, it's the same story again. In the first half, he scored 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting, and then in the second half it became a 4-point quarter and a 2-point quarter...

It can only be said that DeRozan's encounter with James is like encountering a destined natural enemy, and he no longer has the King of the North in his body!

The next night, the other two teams were also finished.

Harden, who had been carrying crazy all night, handed over 38 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, and hit a quasi-triple-double again, but at the last moment he had a chance to kill, but he was blocked by the Warriors and failed to make a successful shot. .

In the end, the Mosaic team trailed the Warriors 98:99, 0:2 in the series.

east.

In the second game, the Eagles finally failed to live up to their home-court advantage. With 6 players in double figures, they defeated the Bulls 106:90, turning the series into a 1:1 tie.

At this point, the G2 war is all over.

...

Two days later, the G3 battle started on the 10th, and that night, Staples was full of people.

Because before the game, the Clippers officially announced a piece of good news: Chris Paul, who had been out for the previous two games, will make a quick comeback tonight!

There's no way, I can't do it again if I don't make a comeback. If I have to wait until the series is 0:3 behind, it's really useless.

"Demon Museum"

So, with the arrival of a large number of handsome men and women from Hollywood to Los Angeles, as well as the appearance of other sports stars, the Staples Center shines brightly.

As a result, the score of the series was obviously 0:2. As a result, the popularity of the G3 battle not only did not decrease, but also increased.

After entering the arena, Wang Zelin also saw a bunch of familiar faces.

A group of basketball-loving Hong Kong and Taiwan singers headed by Jay Chou, as well as a large group of stars in the mainland entertainment circle, all appeared on the scene today.

Hey, it seems that sister Zhiling, who I haven't seen for a long time, is also here.

Before she became Kurosawa Chiling, sister Chiling's nationality was still good.

Of course, what is still fresh in my memory is her long legs, combined with that whistling voice, it is difficult to forget!

Heck, let's get down to business.

Back to the game.

Before the game, both sides announced the starting lineup.

Clippers: Paul, Redick, Barnes, Griffin, Jordan.

The Blazers are still the same.

In the TNT live broadcast booth, after getting the list, Barkley immediately analyzed it in an orderly manner:

"It seems that the Clippers are all pinning their hopes on Chris, who is back in the line of fire today. If they lose again tonight, they can basically announce their farewell to the championship dream."

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "This game depends on whether Paul can effectively connect the Clippers' offense, and they must have targeted restrictions on Wang Zelin's basket dominance, otherwise..."

"Hahaha, Kenny, since you all know it's domination, how can it be so easily restricted."

Before he could finish speaking, Barkley suddenly interrupted.

In this regard, Kenny Smith did not refute either, because in his heart, he did not think the Clippers could handle Wang Zelin.

In addition to the two people on the commentary stage, the celebrities who attended the scene also expressed their views on the results of this round of series in interviews with the media.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "There is no doubt that Wang's outstanding performance has directly led to the lack of light in other players in this series, and in the future, I believe he will get better and better!"

O'Neal: "Wang, hurry up, hurry up and sweep! This kind of series without the slightest suspense looks really boring!"

Magic Johnson: "You know, there's never been one owner at the Staples Center!"

James: "..."

Not only the few Lakers celebrities who were present, but also some legendary celebrities from other teams expressed their disapproval of the Clippers, and even faintly showed contempt.

So, is there any celebrity on the scene who specially came to support the Clippers?

Sorry ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ no!

There really isn't one!

Here I have to mention the team history of the Clippers.

Although the Clippers are not the first team to enter the NBA, they are by no means a young team like Menglong and Pelicans, and the team has been built for some years.

From the predecessor Braves to the Clippers in 1987, this team has always been put on a "miserable curse" that cannot break through the second round. The Clippers in the most luxurious locations can't even sell tickets.

Because in Los Angeles and at Staples, there is always only one protagonist, and that is the Los Angeles Lakers!

Compared with the Lakers, the Clippers don't even count as a stepmother. I remember that after missing the playoffs in the 1999-00 season, the famous media "Sports Illustrated" published the most "vicious" headline so far:

"The Clippers are the worst team in NBA history!"

That's right, before the Clippers era in Alley City, this was the worst team in the NBA. They had no laudable leader, no slick lore moments, and no glorious moments in their history.

Therefore, their well-known nicknames are "cowards" or "broken boats", or the Los Angeles drag bottle that countless Zijin fans dislike.

So much so that today, even though they are playing at home, the Clippers feel that they are not even better on the road.

But fortunately, the Clippers have accumulated a group of fans in the past few years after establishing the city of air catches. Although the number is far from that of the Los Angeles Lakers, it still makes them feel A touch of warmth.

So, can Paul's comeback bring them a precious victory?

The answer will be revealed soon.
