NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 1039 You\'re the one called the Great Emperor?
US time, December 10th.
At 18 o'clock in the evening, players from both sides entered the field to warm up, and Wang Zelin finally saw Embiid, who had been a "spiritual friend" for a long time.
The first impression this guy gives is that he doesn't look like a rookie at all, not only because he has the same young and old appearance as a thirty-year-old man, but also because he is a strong insider who only weighed 250 pounds in college.
During the two years when the season was reimbursed, Embiid was not idle. He once gained 300 pounds in 2015, and now he should be controlled at around 280 pounds.
The league has long been different today. A rookie in his first year is a 280-pound heavy center, which is undoubtedly a rare thing in this era. You must know that Wang Zelin now weighs 140 kg, which is only 310 pounds in conversion.
The appearance of Embiid made Wang Zelin once again believe that talent is real. No wonder some people say that he is a replica of Olajuwon.
It is really that the growth trajectories of the two are too similar. They both come from Africa and were also discovered by others. They also started practicing basketball at the age of 16 or 17, and then immediately showed extraordinary talent. After entering the league, they quickly grew into top centers.
Although the opening warm-up was not long, Wang Zelin could still see that Embiid's basic skills are very solid.
Unlike many people in modern basketball who don't pay attention to basic skills, Embiid is like a guy who has played basketball since he was a child, and he has a soft shooting touch.
But the reality is, this guy didn't start practicing until he was 16...
During the warm-up, Wang Zelin did not forget to use the system to test Embiid's ability evaluation, and the result surprised him.
In his rookie year, Embiid's ability evaluation reached 82, which is already at the level of a quasi-All-Star insider.
This talent is simply not too bad, no wonder he was selected as the All-Star starter in the second year.
When the warm-up was about to end, Wang Zelin and Embiid, as the bosses of both teams, had a simple exchange before the game.
Embiid looked at Wang Zelin for a moment, and suddenly shook his head with emotion: "Dude, you are really strong. Except for that Boban, you are the biggest guy I have ever seen, and you run so fast, it's really weird! "
Seeing that the rookie’s opening seemed relatively normal, and there seemed to be no “arrogance” on the Internet, Wang Zelin was about to say something, but Embiid suddenly turned around and said: "But my strength is by no means inferior to yours. Tonight, you are ready to accept Let's go on a losing streak."
Yo... that's just right! The dignified Twitter king, how could he be so humble?
If you are so obedient, I'm still not used to it.
Wang Zelin also said to Embiid: "Little brother, you are so small that you won't be stunted, right? How about I treat you to some milk powder, or I'm afraid your little arm will be broken later."
The 310-pound weight of the Smiling Alliance, coupled with ceiling-level upper and lower body strength, makes Wang Zelin the most incomprehensible existence in the penalty area, even O'Neal in the Magic period is not as good as him.
Calling Embiid "petite" in his presence is no joke.
"You are really big, but this is a basketball court, not a gym. Let's talk with the ball." Embiid was completely unmoved, as expected of someone who has seen all kinds of big scenes on the Internet.
Even in many cases, Embiid is the one who initiated the cyber violence, and his heart is not so big.
Wang Zelin also didn't care about the lake, and spread his hands: "Fighting in the restricted area is much more cruel than simply pushing iron in the gym. Otherwise, you can come and try it. I welcome it very much."
"Cut, it's as if you've decided on me?" Embiid pretended to be disdainful.
"Arrogant boy, I hope that in the competition, you can still maintain your current rebelliousness." Wang Zelin suddenly laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Embiid shrugged indifferently.
…
This is a full-meter live broadcast, and ESPN sent two ace commentators to give live commentary.
On the spot commentary seat.
"Hey, it seems that our little rookie and Wang chatted well. When they arrived at the scene, the two of them didn't seem to be confronting each other like they said on the Internet!" Reggie Miller shook his head regretfully.
As a well-known big mouth and trash talker in NBA history, Embiid took the initiative to provoke Wang Zelin's death behavior, which made Miller think of the self who once entered the league, and he also mentioned it to Embiid, a rookie. A little interested.
But now it seems that before the game started, Embiid seemed to have surrendered to Wang Zelin's despotic power.
What about Twitter Great?
It's about showing off your talkative skills. Why is Mr. Good Man so popular in the league now?
Really, I don't know who started it...
Little Van Gundy smiled and said, "Reggie, Joel is just a rookie, so let's not embarrass him too much. When you first entered the league, would you dare to confront Larry Bird head-on?"
"Of course, cough cough..."
In the middle of the conversation, Miller suddenly coughed tactically and did not dare to continue.
What are you kidding?
That's "Big Bird" Larry Bird!
If he is a famous trash talker in history, then Bird is the absolute king in the field of trash talk.
The king of the king is not called for nothing!
Therefore, Miller decisively chose Congxin.
After empathizing, Miller didn't blame Embiid for his "soft" behavior.
But what the two of them didn't know was that Embiid was not only not a softie, on the contrary, he was so hardheaded that Wang Zelin didn't expect it.
Over the years, Embiid should be the first rookie who dared to confront him directly when he first debuted.
Finally, at 19 o'clock in the evening, at the Wachovia Center Stadium, amidst the cheers of Philadelphia fans, the duel between the 75ers and the Trail Blazers officially began!
During the pre-match interview, 75ers coach Blake Brown revealed a piece of news that made the media quite excited. Embiid's playing time will be appropriately increased tonight.
In the first ten or so games, in order to protect Embiid who has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons, otherwise he will only be allowed to play a maximum of 25 minutes per game.
But today, Embiid's playing time is very likely to exceed 30 minutes.
There is no doubt that the Philadelphia management and coaching staff also hope that Embiid can flex his muscles in this battle of enlightenment.
The starters of both sides stepped into the designated positions one after another.
For the Trail Blazers, the familiar starting five will still be on the stage.
75 starters: TJ McConnell, Nick Stauskas, Robert Covington, Ersan Ilyasova, Joel Embiid.
In this lineup, apart from Embiid, only Covington and Yin Liasova impressed Wang Zelin a little bit, but these two are basically role players in their careers, not stars.
Okafor has been added to the rotation list by the 75 people due to overlapping positions with Embiid.
Unlucky Okafor, another example of nba's typical incident of "both good and bright".
At the beginning of the game, from the start of the scrimmage, Embiid showed an aggressive side on the Internet, and took the lead in spraying: "Look, I will replace your league status from the scrimmage."
"Puff... It seems that your courage is more surprising than your brain!" Wang Zelin replied without showing any weakness.
In a league full of good men, there are still such interesting newcomers, it's really... wonderful!
Wang Zelin felt that his "old hooligan's soul" was waking up. Come to think of it, the No. 21 rookie in the Holy City also saw him in the same way back then?
Then, the referee whistled, and Wang Zelin easily won the basketball from Embiid's head.
Looking at Embiid's direction again, the scrimmage is lost, but he can't be cowardly, and he retreats quickly without blushing and heartbeat, as if he has forgotten his bold words just now.
With a dark heart, a thick face, and ambition, coupled with the top physical fitness in history, it is difficult to become a super giant?
He wanted to teach this rookie more and more.
The Blazers were attacking. The ball was a high-position ladder screen. Barton seized the opportunity and went in. After receiving a pass from Jokic in the middle, he was about to jump and dunk with one hand.
If nothing else, this ball will ignite the Blazers' first wave of momentum tonight!
But Barton took this ball too lightly. It is estimated that he has gotten used to playing against 75 players in the past few years, and he has not encountered too much resistance every time. It's hard for him to be serious about such a bad team for ten thousand years.
But the accident still came... There was a "snap", and soon, he was directly hit by a big nail on the opposite side!
Look at the number on his back is 21!
It's...Joel Embiid!
"Pretty defense!"
The dj on the scene also shouted to block Embiid's ball. After the block was over, he was not idle, grabbed the rebound and turned his head to launch a one-stop fast break.
Although this season is a rookie season, Embiid's offensive arsenal is unbelievably rich, and the defensive end is also a gate.
The last rookie who showed excellent offensive and defensive attributes when he first entered the league has to be traced back to Wang Zelin in 2012; pushing forward again, he can be traced back to another No. 21 rookie—Tim Duncan, the No. 1 pick in 1997 !
The home team of Embiid's fast break with the ball once again ignited the entire Wachovia Center Court, and he quickly pushed through the half court, getting closer and closer to the Blazers' penalty area.
At this moment, the reporters behind the baseline began to frantically press the shutter, they didn't want to lose any wonderful moments, they wanted to freeze all those moments.
At this moment, Embiid took two steps directly from the free throw line, raised the ball high with one hand, and was about to complete a dunk with fire and fire.
"Snapped!"
However, the familiar scene happened again, a figure rushed out from behind Embiid, rushed up with a big cap, and nailed Embiid's shot to the backboard.
The difference is that this time the background board has changed from Button to Embiid.
The player who completed this wonderful block was none other than Blazers No. 36!
"Oh **** ho **** ho! Tit for tooth, hat for hat! Our little rookie made the same mistake as Will Barton, he underestimated his opponent too much."
Little Van Gundy roared excitedly.
Miller suddenly became excited, staring straight at the court: "Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound, and he launched a one-stop fast break...Oh, God! He is like an invincible tank! In this area of Philadelphia Rampage on the ground, the 75 people can't stop him at all...Peng ~ Blind Karaka! A big windmill dunk one step behind the free throw line!"
"boom!"
With the sound of violent basket explosions, the Wachovia Center Court also exclaimed, and then fell into silence.
"Yes!"
On the Trail Blazers side, there was immediate cheers on and off the court.
"Boss, you are so cool!"
The younger brother Zubac rushed over and shouted excitedly, his eyes were full of longing, longing for the day when he could be invincible on the field like Wang Zelin in the future.
"Trust me, I can handle them."
Wang Zelin who opened it shouted loudly, "Brothers, let us kill 75 people together and teach them a profound lesson."
"To 75 people!" Barton, Jokic and others shouted in unison.
For the court station, Zhang Lili and Ke Fan are responsible for the live commentary tonight.
"This is Zelling's charisma of leadership. Even though the Blazers are on the road, they play like they are at home in the 75ers' territory, hahaha!"
The explosion at the beginning made Zhang Lili laugh from ear to ear.
Wang Zelin turned around and stared at the one who was chasing after him all the way, You Qi had a ferocious smile on his face, and spat out in trash talk: "You are the only **** emperor? I think it is the elder brother!"
There was a trace of hostility in Embiid's eyes, and he returned without showing any weakness: "Don't be too proud of the old bird, it's just a ball."
He is not convinced in his heart, Wang Zelin has his strength, but he also has his strength.
The 75ers attacked, and Embiid was in a good position, so he leaned on Wang Zelin and prepared to ask for the ball. He is not the kind of person who just talks to each other. Since he dared to exchange trash talk with Wang Zelin, it shows that he has a strong sense of competition and competitiveness.
In other words, in addition to spraying with his mouth, Embiid will also use actions to compete with opponents on the court.
Therefore, in the first positional battle after the start of the game, Embiid leaned against Wang Zelin in the middle distance.
The two finally faced off for the first time on the field, and everyone's eyes were cast on it immediately.
Wang Zelin originally thought that Embiid would come and rely on hitting a few times. Logically speaking, as a center player, especially an offensive center, there is no reason why he would not rely on hitting.
But Embiid is a player with a very high IQ, and his ability to read the game is also very strong. When he found that Wang Zelin took half a step back, he boldly turned over and shot a jumper!
Wang Zelin hid and caused a lot of interference, but Embiid still threw the ball steadily.
Swish!
In the first heads-up, Embiid scored a goal over Wang Zelin.
His solid technique and soft touch made the 75ers fans crazy.
Among all active centers, there are very few who have such delicate handwork and are able to score the ball in a one-on-one duel with Wang Zelin.
In the past, Cousins counted as one; now, there is another Embiid.
After scoring, Embiid deliberately stared at Wang Zelin when he returned to defense, as if he was saying:
You see, old bird, this is my ability, I am the "Emperor" Embiid!
In a scene full of gunpowder, the reporters next to me screamed with excitement.
After switching offense and defense, Wang Zelin quickly ran to the basket, and Embiid came over to resist him.
The head coach of the 75ers, Brett Brown, was about to send someone to help double-team Wang Zelin, but Embiid waved to the surrounding teammates when he couldn't go.
The intention is obvious, let me get out of the way, labor and management must only guard against Wang Zelin!
No one expected that Embiid would be so brave?
The same is true for Wang Zelin and his teammates.
That being the case...
Under the basket, Wang Zelin raised his left hand. This is for the ball, and he is very firm.
This action immediately excited all the media reporters behind the bottom line.
They all know that as long as the ball is passed in and Wang Zelin receives the ball, a spark will hit the earth in an instant.
Their fingers are shaking, ready to press the shutter at any time.
Ready Lillard, of course, did not hesitate, immediately took a step back, and then passed the ball over McConnell's head and onto the basket.
"Snapped!"
"Kacha Kacha..."
As soon as Wang Zelin received the ball, the reporter decisively pressed the shutter.
At this moment, Wang Zelin took a step back, his whole body exploded, and he forced Embiid back half a step.
Under his overwhelming confrontation ability, Embiid lost his center of gravity and gained space.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, Wang Zelin quickly turned around with the ball blasted, passed Embiid with one step, gave a deep drink, exerted force under his feet, and jumped high with the ball in both hands.
"Peng!"
Embiid, who stood in front of him, snorted~www.mtlnovel.com~ His upper body was thrown back violently in an instant.
Having encountered several active top insiders one after another, he thought that he could adapt to the intensity of the nba, but he never thought that the power of a person would be so great?
No wonder this old bird was able to defeat countless powerful enemies and ruled the alliance for three full years!
"boom!"
"Damn it!"
As Wang Zelin completed the violent buckle with both hands, Embiid could no longer control his center of gravity and fell hard to the floor.
Looking at Embiid who fell to the ground, Wang Zelin showed a satisfied smile, but his smile at the moment seemed extremely heart-wrenching to Embiid.
However, the more worrying thing is yet to come...
"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"
