NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

"The beginning of the NBA draws the twilight O'Neal (

?? There is a saying called: what to worry about, what to come!

The original plan of the Blazers was to let Lillard, the iron man, lead the team's rotation to maintain the score, and in any case, they had to hold off for 3 or 4 minutes, so that Wang Zelin and Aldridge could get a chance to breathe.

In this way, the team can let the remaining two players return to the field to harvest the game in the last few minutes.

In contrast, the Thunder also had the same plan.

However, the X factor is still present.

After Kevin Martin came on the court, he launched a fierce offense with Westbrook with the rotation.

Especially Kevin Martin, relying on that weird shot, caused three consecutive fouls by the Blazers players in just two minutes, got to the free throw line for 6 of 6, and helped the team lead the score.

87:91.

To be honest, before Harden, the master of fouling on the shooting guard was Kevin Martin. In the season with the highest score, he averaged 9 free throws per game.

This kind of player, the media are willing to call him very smart and efficient, but only when he is against him can you feel how disgusting this style of play is.

Harden was once considered a low-profile version of Martin, but who knew that he was better than blue... No wonder he was disliked by so many people later.

Out of desperation, Coach Terry had to put Aldridge, who had only rested for 1 minute, back on the court.

The difference cannot be widened any further.

Fortunately, as an old man who has been in the league for 6 seasons, Aldridge is far better than a rookie Wang Zelin in terms of physical reserves and distribution, and it is not uncommon to play full court occasionally.

Moreover, Wang Zelin also triggered two gold-level dunks in this game, which played a certain role in restoring blood to his teammates, so Aldridge's physical strength pool is still sufficient.

After Aldridge played, he quickly stabilized the army with his favorite left-sided low singles and mid-range shots, but then a breakthrough dunk by Westbrook succeeded 2+1, which once again opened the score.

To make matters worse, Aldridge was also wearing four fouls.

The Trail Blazers are in jeopardy!

There are still more than three minutes until the end of the game.

"Wang, how are you resting?"

Coach Terry chose to call a 60-second long timeout. After the timeout, he would bring Wang Zelin back on the court for the final match.

"It's not much of a problem."

Although his face was still very pale, Wang Zelin nodded.

"Get ready to play, Portland is up to you for this win."

After adjusting the state, Wang Zelin followed his teammates to the final moment of the game again.

It has been a night of hard work, and the last few minutes must not be discouraged.

The Trail Blazers took the lead.

After arriving at the basket, the defender in front of Wang Zelin was no longer Perkins, but Ibaka again.

"Give it up, you can't prevent me, you are as soft as a doughnut in front of me, and it melts when you bite."

At this time, Wang Zelin couldn't care about his shallow friendship with Ibaka, and started talking trash after receiving the ball.

"Don't you know if you try it?"

Ibaka licked his tongue, but smiled weirdly.

After coming to the low post on the right side against Ibaka, Wang Zelin leaned on the opponent to prepare for a strong play, and he was confident to score this goal.

Just as Wang Zelin turned around, Ibaka behind him suddenly fell down.

"Beep beep!"

Offensive foul.

fuck

At this critical moment, Ibaka successfully caused Wang Zelin an offensive foul.

This is the fifth foul of the game, and Wang Zelin is in danger.

Obviously, the Thunder coaching staff has seen it. The reason why the Blazers have been able to stick with them until now is largely inseparable from Wang Zelin's performance in the interior.

??? God, the opposite No. 36 has already got 25 rebounds, he must not be allowed to break 30.

So they seized on the shortcoming of Wang Zelin's 4 fouls, and after letting the players play, they must try their best to get Wang Zelin off the court no matter what.

As long as the Celestial Giant is missing, the Blazers' inside advantage will no longer be available.

After several hesitations, Coach Terry on the side gave up the decision to call a timeout.

At this time, he is more willing to believe that his players can handle their own problems. After all, it is not him who is playing on the court.

After suffering a dull loss, Wang Zelin didn't say much, just clenched his fists and ran back to his half.

The Thunder attacked, and after some moves, Durant found Wang Zelin in a dislocation. The intention was obvious. It was to bully you for 5 offenses, and the defensive end would definitely not dare to show his strength.

After Durant held the ball close, he used a routine that Wang Zelin remembered deeply.

Wheel arm big loop!

Originally, when defending a superstar player like Durant, it was easy to be called a foul if he didn't handle it well, but this guy still used this trick.

A good athlete can and should use all the tricks the rules allow to make you win.

After all, the essence of basketball is a scoring game. As long as you can keep scoring and scoring, who cares about the means?

Wang Zelin agrees with this statement, but don't forget that double standards have always been one of the other great essences of human beings.

As an opponent, Durant's swinging arm loop is a very uncomfortable play for defenders.

Some veteran fans who are familiar with the doorway saw that Durant was going to use this trick, and the popcorn in his hand suddenly became fragrant, and the boos in his mouth soon sounded.

Coach Terry, who was on the sidelines, stood up in fright, and his heart was tangled together.

"be careful!"

Seeing this, Wang Zelin hurriedly put his hands behind his back: You swing yours, I won't reach out anyway.

In the end, although Durant made a successful layup, it did not cause Wang Zelin's foul.

However, Wang Zelin's strange defensive action made Barkley in the live broadcast room directly happy.

"I really didn't expect this kind of defensive action, Kenny, have you ever seen anyone with their hands behind their backs when defending? It's so interesting."

Barkley couldn't help but patted his belly until the last laugh.

"Cough, it's weird enough, but after all, he is for self-protection. KD's move is too insidious, and it goes against the spirit of basketball."

Although Wang Zelin's defensive moves were a bit funny, Kenny Smith held back with his professionalism.

And he also knows that what fans want to see is a normal basketball game, not a trick that exploits various loopholes in the rules, and he condemned Durant's big swing.

"The NBA is not a pure basketball league."

Barkley suddenly replied, silencing Kenny Smith.

…

The Blazers were having trouble scoring at this point.

The starting center Wang Zelin fouled 5 times, and the team boss Aldridge fouled 4 times, which made them both very timid to play in the interior, both defensively and offensively.

Lillard on the outside didn't feel very good in this game. He made 13 shots and only hit 5 times, including the good three-pointer opportunity just now, which also ended with a strike.

For a full minute, the Blazers were in a scoring drought.

On the other hand, the Thunder team, although the offensive efficiency is not very high, at least they can score.

In the last 51 seconds of the game, Durant made a low layup to expand the score again.

104:99.

The Blazers are already five points behind.

Without hesitation, Coach Terry called the second timeout in the last two minutes of the distal quarter.

"Look at what you guys are fighting. It's not as good as shit. Even if it's an old man like me, it's much more reliable than you to fight."

During the suspension, Coach Terry did not give any tactical guidance, nor did he do any psychological counseling, but instead cursed directly.

"The opposite side is a team that is much stronger than us. You don't need to have any psychological burden. Just play well. If you win, it's yours, and if you lose, it's mine."

If you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine!

In one sentence, the inner struggle of Wang Zelin and Aldridge was completely shattered.

Yeah, what are we afraid of?

No matter how strong the opponent is, it’s just a team about the same age as us, so what should we be afraid of!

"Beep beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the time-out was up.

"Remember, the age of the players on the opposite side is almost the same as ours. Even if you lose, there is nothing to be ashamed of. I hope you can play your true level and don't have any regrets..."

When the players were on the court, Terry's words never stopped.

"Boy, I admit that you are strong, but the victory belongs to us."

Lillard controlled the ball to the audience, and Westbrook looked at the young man who broke through his defense several times with emotion and admiration in his heart.

You are wearing the number 0 jersey!

Lillard didn't answer, he controlled the ball meticulously and carefully, glanced at the basket, and suddenly a sharp change in direction shook Westbrook in front of him.

Lillard got a mid-range shot at this point, but he didn't because he had better options.

I saw Lillard shove the ball straight to the basket, but there was no one... The next moment everyone knew the answer, a yellow-skinned arm appeared there and caught the basketball.

"Don't think about it!"

Ibaka was the first to discover something was wrong. When he saw Wang Zelin appearing under the basket, he flew over from the other side and took off quickly.

Wang Zelin had already risen from the ground at this time, and only the basket above was in his eyes.

"Do you think you can stop me? Dream!"

Wang Zelin had already discovered Ibaka who took off almost at the same time as himself, but his eyes were full of madness, and he threw the ball into the basket without fear.

At that moment, it was as if there was no one beside him.

You are the league's new block king. Ibaka's block awareness and ability to block are very good, and he has a good grasp of the timing of blocking shots.

His prediction of this ball is very accurate, whether it is the height of the bounce or the accuracy of the palms, they are not bad at all.

Seeing that the basketball was getting closer and closer, the Thunder fans couldn't help but rejoice.

The medical insurance card is indeed a medical insurance card, this ball seems to be covered...

Will it really be so?

No, they also overlooked one thing.

strength!

Blazers No. 36's body contains an earth-shattering force. The basketball clenched in both hands seems to have turned into a bomb at this moment, with a power that Ibaka can't imagine.

"Gold-level dunk Tianzun has been triggered..."

At this moment, Wang Zelin's dunk strength and smashing speed suddenly changed slightly.

A small difference, a thousand miles lost!

Although Ibaka's hand has touched the basketball, it cannot affect its trajectory in the slightest.

An orange-red basketball found its home with a loud bang.

The duel between Wang Zelin and Ibaka, the spear and shield, also came to an end.

The orange-red basketball was forcibly pressed into the basket by Wang Zelin, and Ibaka's hand patted the back of the basketball and Wang Zelin's hand at the same time.

If it can be covered, it is undoubtedly a good cap.

Unfortunately not.

"Beep beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the Trail Blazers' No. 36 offense was effective, and the Thunder's No. 9 thug fouled, and the former added a penalty.

Andone!

"Hoo! Hoo! I said, you can't stop me."

With a heavy gasp, Wang Zelin turned around, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked down at Ibaka.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Although he was furious in his heart, Ibaka held back on the surface.

Losers have no say!

Incompetent fury only highlights his cowardice.

"Shh!"

Add a penalty hit, 2+1 succeeded.

104:102.

The Trail Blazers were just two points away with 31 seconds left, and in any case, the Trail Blazers still had a chance to make a final attack.

Westbrook found someone with the ball and directed his teammates to move.

But the dunk just now by Sihu was too shocking, causing the Blazers players to entangle their opponents like a chicken blood, and his teammates did not run out of the space.

"Then I'll do it myself!"

Westbrook stared at the basket not far away, his mood was surging, and his eyes instantly turned red.

What he didn't notice was that Durant had circled around 45 degrees to the right from a low angle, beckoning him for the ball.

After calling Ibaka to step forward and do a screen, Westbrook began to accelerate when he reached the top of the arc and sprinted towards the left side of the triangle area.

What is he going to do?

The Pioneers have some doubts in their hearts.

After Westbrook slipped a step to the left of the penalty area, Wang Zelin became apprehensive.

Shouldn't it be deducted again!

Wait...he's just getting ready to shoot?

An astonishing scene happened. Westbrook, who obviously has a strong ability to rush to the basket, chose to use a stiff jumper as a finishing method at such a critical juncture.

It's clear that attacking the rim is what Westbrook is best at, but he actually chooses a mid-range shot that he is not sure about...

Whatareyoudoing?

All eyes were attracted by this basketball.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Basketball!

Wang Zelin took the first jump and caught it with one hand. The basketball just turned around the basket and fell off. The timing was just right.

"Beep beep!"

To be on the safe side, the Blazers called the last timeout of the game, and they had 15 seconds to deal with the last possession.

"King, you did a great job."

"This is your first offensive rebound?"

"At least there are more than ten!"

"cool…"

Back on the bench, all the players gave Wang Zelin some love.

"Papapa, okay okay, the game is not over yet, now let me talk about the arrangement of the final attack."

Coach Terry patted the tactical version and attracted everyone's attention.

The tactics are also very simple: keep two and chase three!

The first person to handle the ball right is, of course, Aldridge, the team leader.

Next is Lillard and Wang Zelin.

"Don't be too rigid at this time. If LaMarcus and the three of them are locked up, whoever has the opportunity will vote decisively. Don't hesitate."

"Understood!"

"learn!"

"…"

Pause back, the Trail Blazers serve the front court ball.

The Thunder have a two-point lead and there is no need to take the initiative to foul. Their task is to put down the ball as hard as they can to win.

Lillard had the ball and Aldridge stepped up to pick and roll, but Westbrook squeezed in and didn't leave.

With 11 seconds left, Lillard stabilized his rhythm and waited for his teammates to move.

At the same time, Lillard also secretly decided in his heart that if his teammates can't get a chance in the last 5 seconds, then he will end the game with his own hands.

Regardless of whether he can enter or not, he must never leave the opportunity to the other side, and must use up his time.

Finally, in the last 8 seconds, Aldridge ran out of opportunities under repeated pick-and-rolls by Matthews and Batum, and received a pass from Lillard at the left waist position.

It's his surest shot hot spot, but...

"Oops, basketball!"

As soon as he made the shot, Aldridge knew that the ball was likely to be gone.

Just now, Durant, who was the closest, rushed over and interfered with the shot by relying on his super long wingspan.

The basketball smashed into the neck of the basket, causing the fans present to wailing.

But they suddenly found that a figure still lingered, rushing towards the basket.

Wang Zelin!

At this moment, Wang Zelin was like a hero stepping on colorful clouds. Once again, three Thunder players took off offensive rebounds, and looking at his trend...he wanted to make up for it!

"Caught you!"

The moment Wang Zelin caught the rebound and pressed the ball down, a huge force came from behind him, and the basketball in his hand was shot off without hesitation.

It turned out to be Ibaka, who made one last defense near the end of the game.

"It's over!"

"There is no chance."

"It's all the fault of Aldridge's jerk, he didn't seize such an important opportunity."

"Soft egg!"

"Soft egg!"

"…"

The audience next to him began to boo, and Aldridge looked miserable, and his heart was full of desolation.

"Oh, it's like this again..."

"Boss, UU reading www.uukanshu.com catch the ball!"

A voice came from the front, and Aldridge looked at it, an orange-red basketball was hitting him.

This is... basketball!

It turned out that Ibaka's block was on the edge of the basket. Seeing that Wang Zelin, who landed first, had a chance, he jumped a second time and covered the priceless rebound in his hand.

At this crucial moment, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept to Aldridge, who was emptied from the low-corner three-pointer.

At this moment, he made a crazy decision in his heart.

Why does it have to be stable?

Why does it have to be two points?

He wants to give it a go... lore!

In the last three seconds, Wang Zelin got the basketball and quickly passed to Aldridge.

In the last two seconds, Aldridge received the ball.

At the last second, raise the ball, shake your wrist, and shoot!

When the ball flew into the air, the edge of the backboard was already lit up with red circles.

But the orange basketball didn't seem to give up, it was still soaring desperately, waiting for its final fate.

Some people have fear all over their faces!

Some people's faces are full of anticipation!

And some people's hearts... are waiting for redemption!

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of basketball passing through the net is so wonderful and pleasant at this moment.

Aldridge made a successful shot before the red circle lights up, and successfully hit a buzzer lore.

It was the first buzzer-beater in his career.

At this time, Aldridge raised his hands and looked carefully, his eyes were full of incredible.

I put in?

Did I actually pitch in?

But the sound of cheers resounding through the sky in his ears will never lie.

Aldridge knew that he really scored the buzzer-beater.
