NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

After several bowls of chicken soup, Cole told the Warriors players to go back and take a break, and start training as usual tomorrow.

Cole left first, followed by Curry and Thompson. Everyone left the arena in silence.

No one noticed that Drummond Green had been standing in his original position with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

When the teammates left one by one, Green realized that he was alone on the court.

However, at this moment, only one sentence that Cole said remained in his mind: "We have always been the number one **** loser!"

Loser number one? I've had enough!

Green is a very fiery player. After losing the crucial fourth game, the repressed anger in his heart has broken through the sky.

Can't lose! Never lose again!

In order to achieve this goal, even if some small methods other than basketball are used, so what!

Anyway, it's not the first time I've done this...

…

…

On social media after the game, Wang Zelin and the Blazers were almost blown away by the fans.

Wang Zelin's super block triple-double of 36 points, 15 rebounds, 10 blocks, 4 assists and 2 steals in a single game made countless Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean go crazy.

On various platforms, major forums, circles of friends, and newly-emerged short video platforms, news of "Wang Zelin won a triple-double" and "The Blazers won the match point" is everywhere.

"10 blocks in a single game! Damn..."

"The most versatile center in history - Wang Zelin!"

"Congratulations, King, for winning a triple-double! Congratulations, Blazers, for winning the match point! Next, the sword points to three consecutive championships!"

"The 7th single-game triple-double in the playoffs! Surpassed the 5 playoff triple-doubles of the legendary John Havlicek, ranking seventh in history! At the same time ranked third in active service, second only to James and Rondo !"

…

Needless to say, on the 23rd, Wang Zelin once again swept the Internet.

It was also on this day that he once again appeared on the 19:00 p.m. news broadcast of the Tianchao Court TV. It took nearly half a minute to introduce him alone, and the lineup was full!

Here in the continental United States.

Wang Zelin went down to the earth in the key game and contributed amazing blocks. The Blazers shooters were too accurate in Oracle Arena. Lillard and Aldridge joined hands to rotate the lineup crazy output. The total score of the training game became 3 to 1. Defending champs hold on to the future…

The Trail Blazers' performance in G4 was perfect in all aspects, and all Portland fans were immersed in the joy of victory.

They sang for Wang Zelin's words, sang for the home team, and don't applaud for Coach Terry's bold decision at a critical moment!

When the news that the Trail Blazers got the match point spread to the East, the players of the Cavaliers and Raptors felt a lot of pressure.

Especially James, who has been defeated by Wang Zelin in the finals for two consecutive years before, everyone said that the throne of the league has completed a new round of real questions, and the future belongs to the No. 36 Blazers!

But the thirty-year-old man refused to accept it. He urgently wanted to prove that his dominance had not dissipated, and wanted to tell the world that his era had not passed.

So, let's start by slaying the raptors!

On the night of May 23, the 2015-16 NBA regular season continued.

After a day's rest, James and his Cavaliers continued to sit in the Quicken Loans Arena to meet the challenge of the Raptors.

After the first quarter, although the Raptors temporarily fell behind the Cavaliers by two points at 28:30, DeRozan made 4 of 8 shots and scored 10 points in a single quarter. People saw his desire for victory.

In addition, other Raptors players, whether they are the main players or the substitutes, showed a strong aggressiveness in the first quarter.

Just when people thought that the Eastern Conference finals should always be a battle of dragons and tigers, as the "old emperor" James turned on the berserk mode, he made 3 of 6 shots and 7 of 9 free throws in the second quarter and scored 13 points. any suspense.

After halftime, the score between the two sides was 64:48, actually leading the Raptors by 16 points!

Changing sides to fight again, the Cavaliers continued to expand their lead, Irving scored a layup, and the home team once led the Raptors by as many as 21 points.

James' tank-like layup reappeared and successfully scored 2+1!

With this free throw hit steadily, James has almost scored 5251 points in his entire career.

After this battle, he officially surpassed the legendary NBA "Shaquille" Shaquille O'Neal, and rose to the fourth place in the history of the playoffs. He is also the second highest in the active ranking, second only to the Lakers Kobe Bryant!

In addition to Kobe, who is ranked second, Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are ranked first and third respectively.

Before Wang Zelin crossed over, James had even surpassed the above three and became the top scorer in NBA playoff history.

Moreover, he is also the only NBA player in history with a total score of more than 7000 points in the playoffs!

You have to admit that the length of James' career peak years is almost the first in history, and his physical functions are terrifying!

Back to the G2 game in the Eastern Conference Finals.

With Irving and James breaking out successively, the Cavaliers have firmly controlled the situation since then. In the second half of this quarter, Irving even scored 6 points in a row. Cousins ​​​​also frequently made kills at the basket and made 5 of 6 free throws.

On the other hand, the Raptors, after the head star DeRozan scored 10 points in the first quarter and 6 points in the second quarter, the second half was expected to be further sluggish. He only hit one goal in four shots and barely scored 4 points with fouls. .

In the second half of the third quarter, he disappeared directly on the field, without any scoring shots at all. Instead, Corey Joseph, a role player on the bench, stepped forward and scored 7 points in a single quarter!

But after all, it was hard to beat the Big Three Cavaliers who broke out at full strength. After three quarters, the Cavaliers continued to lead by a large score of 88:69.

Entering the final quarter, James continued to stay on the court. With the two basic data of personal rebounds and statistics rising one after another, he became the second player to send triple-double data in a single game in this season's playoffs after Wang Zelin.

In the following time, the game inevitably entered garbage time, the main players of both sides left the field early, and the game gradually became boring.

After the whole game, the Cavaliers beat the Raptors again at 108:89 at home, rewriting the total score of the series to 2-0!

Unsurprisingly after the game, James was named the best player in the game!

In this game, James made 7 of 13 shots, scored 25 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds. He scored a single-game triple-double for the 57th time in his career and the 15th time in the playoffs.

At the same time, he also took a career milestone tonight. Finally, his career total score reached 5258 points, surpassing O'Neal and rising to the fourth place in the history of the playoffs.

Today, there are only three players left in front of James, they are Jordan, Kobe and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Considering that Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have retired for many years, Kobe Bryant said that he will still play for the Purple and Gold next season after being eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals, but he is too old after all.

After entering the second 10 years of the new century, looking back at the performance of the Lakers in the past six seasons, they missed the playoffs once, missed the first round twice, and missed the second round three times!

Since entering the finals three times and winning two championships, the once invincible Zijin Army has been in decline.

And the Black Mamba, who is deeply bound to the Purple and Gold Legion, is no match for Old Man Time after all. Despite occasional high-profile performances in the playoffs, he still cannot lead the team past the Western overlord of the new era-the Portland Trail Blazers!

At present, Kobe's career playoff total score has reached 5980 points, temporarily ranking second in history, only 7 points less than the number one Michael Jordan.

Everyone knows that it will be a matter of time before they are surpassed by James, including Kobe.

But the reason why he chose to continue playing for the Lakers next season is not only to continue to prove that he is not old, but also to surpass Jordan in total points in the playoffs.

Losing to Wang Zelin again this season, Kobe also knows that there is a high probability that he will not be able to match Jordan's 6 championship rings in his career.

But this does not mean that he has forgotten his dream of surpassing Jordan at the beginning of his career!

Why, isn't the total score surpassed in the playoffs surpassed?

Doubts from a certain high school student!

Cough cough, back to the topic.

After the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals, even fans who don't watch the game should be able to see the huge gap between the Cavaliers and the Raptors.

In particular, the gap in the level of star power is even more visible.

Originally thought that DeRozan would be stunned no matter what, but in the end he severely beat everyone's expectations of him, and the same script came.

The same crazy output scored 16 points in the first half, and the second half was completely sluggish, becoming a dispensable shadow.

Against his background, the figure of James, who is also the head of the team, naturally looks extremely tall, and it also makes the fans completely stop the question of "whether James can lead the Cavaliers out of the East again".

The performance of the Raptors was so shattered that the Warriors lost the crucial fourth game at home. The next matchup, if nothing else, should be James VS Wang Zelin's script again.

But as we all know, if there are no accidents, it is time for an accident.

…

…

Time passed quickly, and it came to May 25th in a flash.

The much-anticipated Western Conference Finals battleground returns to Portland, back to the Rose Garden Arena.

Tonight, the Trail Blazers will sit at home and start the fifth game of the series with the Warriors.

When Curry came to Portland with his teammates, he immediately felt the frenzy that filled the city.

After winning the crucial fourth game, today's Trail Blazers can be described as having the right time, location, and harmony.

Holding the match point, playing at home, up to the management and coaching staff down to the players and fans are all full of confidence...

They are bound to win this game!

In contrast, the Warriors players looked extremely serious.

This is a game that cannot be lost. The Warriors have come to the edge of the cliff and there is absolutely no way out.

One step back is the abyss!

Tonight, they are really going to face a last stand.

At the same time, online public opinion once again turned around, and many "Warriors fans" jumped out of nowhere, expressing their support for the Warriors to make a comeback!

Don't think about it, this group of people must be the keyboard warriors who just helped their pioneers speak well in the last game, so as to highlight their own uniqueness.

Seeing that the situation is one-sided and the Warriors are about to collapse, they couldn't help but jump out again to give pointers.

The eerie atmosphere permeated until 19 o'clock in the evening.

After the opening ceremony, the two sides kicked off.

The Warriors still sent their five small lineups, and Coach Kerr was quite desperate.

The Trail Blazers will continue to deploy Beverly + Button + Batum + Beverly + Wang Zelin's unlimited defensive lineup!

In the last game, they proved that this lineup is enough to restrain the Warriors five times. Seeing that the Warriors have no plans to change tonight, Coach Terry is full of expectations for the next game.

beep~~~

The referee whistled and Wang Zelin easily won the jump ball.

The Trail Blazers got the chance to attack first, and cheers erupted immediately!

Tremble, scumbags!

This is not the place for you to come, prepare to accept fiasco!

"Humph…"

Green immediately made a disdainful sound, and then his eyes turned cold, staring at the Blazer 36, which was crazily and fast.

But he, Green, quickly regained his senses, and another voice came to mind: No hurry, now is not the time, bear with Drummond for a while, and make the other side look good later.

Beverly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Wang Zelin put up three threats from a high position, pretending to organize, but actually broke through.

The face frame turned his back, and with another hard push, he easily knocked Green away, turned around and went to the basket to complete a two-handed dunk.

Easy start 2:0!

In the Warriors' offense, Green hits the ball at the top of the arc, and the others hit unlimited space.

In this round, the Blazers once again showed the world the super defensive strength of their current lineup.

Curry didn't get a chance to make a phone call for consecutive running positions, and Thompson's final catch was also interfered by Harrell who switched defenses.

The basketball hit the basket and Wang Zelin protected the backboard.

The Warriors' five minors retreated quickly and did not give the Blazers a chance to defend and counterattack.

Wang Zelin pushed to the front court by himself, and after handing it over to Batum, he quickly fell to the position.

As soon as he came to the low position on the right, the pass from the outside was quickly in place. Wang Zelin grabbed the ball and was about to force Green, and Thompson and Barnes' pincers were also in place.

"Three-team! So fast!"

Kenny Smith exclaimed in the commentary booth.

Don't look at the Warriors' five juniors who were only stunned for a short time, and then the Blazers found a way to limit it, but it is undeniable that Cole's carefully crafted lineup has indeed had a great impact on modern basketball, and it has also inspired many players. The famous marshal saw the desirability of Wu Xiao.

It can only be said that they were too unlucky to encounter such a bug that went against the version of Pioneer 36!

"Wang's shot is also very fast~www.wuxiaspot.com~Will Barton's open chance at the bottom corner...hit! The Warriors' quick double-team not only didn't work, but gave the opponent a chance to hit a three-pointer!"

It was so high at the beginning, and Smith also became excited.

It's just that when his words reached Cole's ears, it was tantamount to adding salt to the wound.

The game continued. Livingston misplaced and singled Beverly. After all, he had a certain height advantage. Beverly jumped up to interfere and failed. Livingston's low turn-around jumper went over his fingertips and hit the rebound.

"Shua!"

The ball followed and bounced into the net pocket.

At 2:5, the Warriors also opened the scoring first.
