NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 1061 Westbrook who ate lychees

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Zelin has not played a single game with 30+ rebounds in the regular season for two consecutive seasons.

The game with the most rebounds last season was 36 points and 27 rebounds against the Spurs on January 3, 2016; the game with the most rebounds this season was 38 points and 29 rebounds against the Mosaics in mid-November.

It's time for the league's post players to feel the fear of being dominated by him around the rim again.

Since the Blazers intercepted Adams in advance, the lack of the card forward in the Thunder still had an impact on Westbrook.

Therefore, in order to maximize Westbrook's technical characteristics, the Thunder management actively strengthened last summer.

After the door to the free trade market opened in 2016, Raptors forward Bismack Biyombo officially jumped out of the existing contract and chose to become an unrestricted free agent.

After being ambiguous with many teams, he finally chose to settle in Oklahoma and reached a four-year contract extension worth 72 million yuan with the Thunder.

Among them, the 2019~20 season is a player option.

This season, Biyombo chose to wear the Thunder No. 11 jersey for the 2016-17 season.

What about the deal?

From the current point of view, the Thunder are definitely not at a loss.

Biyombo is a very typical African player. While his physical talent explodes, his technique is extremely rough, but he can always be full of passion for the game on the court, and he always plays with a strong motivation. This kind of flamboyant personality is in him. a big label.

I remember that during the draft, many people believed that Biyombo was likely to become a combination of Serge Ibaka and Ben Wallace.

But after playing for several seasons, Biyombo's advantages and disadvantages remain unchanged. The advantages are that he has an amazing wingspan and excellent physical talent, has excellent blocking ability, and is very strategic on the defensive end. He is often regarded as the basket. patron saint.

The disadvantage is that the offense has been polished for several years, and it is still in the initial stage. The basic skills and skills are very poor, and the footwork and offensive skills are almost nothing.

But you have to admit that the player Biyombo is really suitable for the Thunder.

To be precise, it is very suitable for the technical characteristics and playing style of the Thunder's current head star Westbrook.

The intimidating triple-double maniac Brook urgently needs a forward with excellent rebounding ability next to him, and Biyombo's technical characteristics are a perfect fit.

Needless to say about the game style, both of them are models of passionate basketball. It is very easy to play high on the court, and they can pass their passion to every teammate to the greatest extent.

And only in terms of rebounding ability, Biyombo should be better than "Sea King" Adams at the same time. Last season, he was the sixth and seventh man in the Raptors, but he averaged 22 games per game. Efficiently grabbing 8 rebounds in 1 minute, this ability to grab rebounds really has two brushes.

At the same time, there is also a Domitas Sabonis in the Thunder team.

That's right, this guy's father is the original owner of a purple diamond superstar card that Wang Zelin had drawn before - "Roof of the World" Sabonis.

It's just that compared to his Hall of Fame superstar father, Sabonis' talent and ceiling are at least two gears behind.

However, my father's talent is there. No matter how poor Sabonis' talent is, he can grow into an All-Star insider in the future.

The same is true.

In the previous life, after Sabonis Jr. was selected by the Thunder, he averaged 5.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and one assist per game, and was later regarded by the Thunder management as a small addition in the swap deal between George and Oladipo. Traded to the Pacers together.

But when it comes to the Pacers, Sabonis, who has been vigorously cultivated, is growing rapidly every season. In the last year of his rookie contract, he has grown into a high-level supporter with an average of 18+12+5 per game. As a substitute, he was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career.

If you use the result theory to invert it, you can see that Detonator's vision for the draft is really hanging, as if the eyes of the sky have been opened; similarly, this time they still failed to keep this high-quality seedling, and after training it, they sent it to Go to another team to become famous.

Although Detonator used Oladipo and Sabonis as bargaining chips in the previous life to get Paul George and formed the Thunder Big Three of Turtle + Pickled Pepper + Melon, and then... the whole team became the best rookie Mitchell at the peak of his debut. stepping stone.

Detonator said: Damn!

Goose City fans said: Every time I think about this incident, I can only hide in bed and cry secretly.

But it's different now, because there is no Adams in the Thunder team right now, so they can only choose to focus on cultivating Sabonis.

Don't worry about position and playing time, and at the same time get a detonator. The carefully cultivated Sabonis quickly transitioned from the European basketball system to the NBA basketball system. So far this season, he has been able to score 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, which is better than his previous life Quite a lot, and is expected to be selected to the rookie team at the end of the season.

It is also with the help of Biyombo and Sabonis Jr. that Westbrook's rebounding average is 1.3 higher than Wang Zelin's impression, reaching an astonishing average of 12.1 rebounds per game...

It's so far away from him!

Don't forget, he is a point guard whose actual height may not be 1.9 meters, but he averaged a full 12.1 rebounds per game, ranking 8th in the season's rebounding rankings!

Among the top 10 in the season's rebounding list, except for Westbrook, the other 9 players are all inside players without exception.

A guard of around 1.9 meters has accomplished such a feat. No wonder Thunder fans and Westbrook fans are trying their best to tout his crazy triple-double, including the media, who can't wait to blow him to the sky.

After the first quarter, although the Thunder trailed the Trail Blazers by 7 points at 22:29, this did not prevent Westbrook from playing another very beautiful stat.

3 of 8 in a single quarter, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Playing at this pace, Westbrook will guarantee a 35+15+10 tonight, another super triple-double.

However, how could Wang Zelin, who had just changed his mind, let him get what he wanted?

From now on, I will cover all the rebounds!

Seeing No. 0 of the Thunder team who was chatting and laughing with his teammates on the opposite bench, the corner of Wang Zelin's mouth twitched, as if possessed by a dragon king, showing a confident and evil smile.

Immediately afterwards, he called his teammates around him, as if deploying something.

In this regard, Coach Terry said that he had long been accustomed to it, so he put down the tactical board in his hand.

The second quarter started, and the two sides first sent out a rotation lineup to compete.

After less than three minutes of playing, the Blazers' rotation suppressed the Thunder's rotation in all aspects, and the point difference was quickly expanded to 15 points.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Thunder coach Billy Donovan quickly called a timeout and switched back to the main lineup.

The Blazers saw their tricks, and Coach Terry also sent the starting five.

The starting shooting guard Will Barton has just returned from injury recently. Coach Terry originally wanted him to lead the rotation lineup and find his status, but what is unexpected is that he played a very explosive performance despite his efforts.

In the first quarter of the game, Barton announced a strong comeback to the home fans with an alley-oop dunk and a breakthrough dunk. The team's last attack in the first quarter was also handed over to him, and he finally lived up to expectations and successfully hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

In addition to free throws, Barton scored a team-high 9 points in the first quarter, plus 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal, directly filling the data table.

Who can strike right away, but I, General Patton!

So when Barton applied to the coaching staff for an increase in playing time before the start of the second quarter, Coach Terry hesitated for a while, and finally decided to agree to him.

After a timeout, the Thunder went first.

Sabonis Jr. served, and Westbrook held the ball and pushed forward to form a 4-on-5 frontcourt.

With no one around, Wang Zelin went below the free throw line again, leaving a huge gap behind him.

At this time, Ku Mamba suddenly ran back and cut into the paint from the left wing.

To pass or not to pass?

At this moment, Westbrook's heart trembled.

"pass!"

Seeing that Wang Zelin was still there motionless, he made up his mind and pushed the ball in with both hands.

Zelling immediately turned and pounced on the first step, and then the second. The second step is a small step, adjusted slightly, then jumped up, and slapped Oladipo, who is also in the brother camp of hard training.

In private, our friendship is good, but you actually want to dunk in front of me, which is not authentic.

"Bring it to you!"

With a yell, Wang Zelin made a second effort, pinned the ball in Oladipo's hand to the backboard with a slap, and grabbed it.

"Returning to defense so quickly... Oh! Wang sent a brutal blood cap, and he successfully blocked Oladipo's attack!"

Charles Barkley on the commentary stand exclaimed.

"Wang Zelin explained what it means to be bold in Yigao! His unparalleled super-fast turn and explosive first step, coupled with terrifying bounce and god-level block prediction, this is his confidence to dare to empty the basketball. Westbrook and Ola Dibo...they both fell for it!" laughed Kenny Smith.

Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound, turned his head and rushed to the frontcourt quickly, throwing off Sabonis Jr., forming a 5-on-3 in the audience.

He went to the basket and the Thunder were unstoppable.

Biyombo's passion for playing is passion, but he is definitely not stupid. His weight of just over 100 kilograms meets Wang Zelin, who weighs as much as 140 kilograms. If he dares to try it, it will really be... try it and die!

Taking a peek at the coach Billy Donovan who stood up and roared wildly, Biyombo said sorry in his heart:

"Saurui's coach, just this little money, it's not worth my trip to the ICU!"

"boom!"

The Thunder's basket was blown.

The game continued and the Thunder attacked.

Lillard was thrown away by Westbrook, Saboni served the ball, and Westbrook slowly advanced with the ball.

Upfield, the Thunder's Andre Roberson and Oladipo move on the left and right wings.

After Oladipo was traded to the Thunder, the production of three-pointers, shots and shooting percentages have all reached career highs, and cannot be shorted.

Robertson was selected by the Thunder in the first round of the 2013-14 season. Xueyue is a pure old Thunder guy.

Wang Zelin single-handedly defended Sabonis Jr., and put Sabonis Jr. two steps away near the right waist of the paint area.

Jokic followed Biyombo on the left.

Why did I see that Saboni Jr. was the huge open opportunity, but he didn't dare to pass this time.

At this time, Robertson moved quickly from left to right on the three-point line, trying to get rid of Batum.

Batum played the entire first quarter and only rested for two minutes in the second quarter. His physical reserve was not as good as that of Robertson, and he was left a little behind.

Westbrook saw this immediately and flicked the ball with one hand to Robertson who ran to the right wing.

But Wang Zelin, who was near the free throw line, also saw this. He judged that Westbrook was likely to pass the ball to Robertson, and immediately moved the outside line.

As expected, when he saw Westbrook passing the ball, he immediately accelerated with all his strength and rushed to the right-wing three-point line.

Robertson immediately went down after receiving the ball, throwing Batum away again in disguise.

But when he got the ball beyond the three-point line and was about to jump the ball, Wang Zelin had already defended him in time.

Then, Batum followed up and formed a double team.

Robertson showed a look of panic, and the next moment, Wang Zelin saw the timing and went down with one hand...

"Snapped!"

Successful steal!

At this time, Barkley's voice sounded again: "Steal! Wang completed the steal! He passed the ball to Button, and Button advanced with the ball to the frontcourt...boom~ Blind Karaka!"

The Thunder's basket was blown again.

At 47:28, the Blazers led by 19 points!

One more goal, the score between the two sides will break through the 20-point mark, and the Thunder must have someone stand up to break the scoring shortage.

At this time, a giant planet is needed!

The Thunder succeeded, Westbrook accelerated crazily as soon as he caught the ball, first gear, second gear, third gear, not only...he also has fourth gear!

Westbrook was like a runaway wild horse, passing Lillard, Batum and Button one after another. Soon, he single-handedly reached the three-point line, and Wang Zelin stood alone under the basket.

Are you going to buckle up?

Countless Lei Mi showed anticipation, and they couldn't wait to see the scene where the number one active player was dunked by Westbrook.

"Want to detain me? Then come!"

Under the basket, Wang Zelin smiled provocatively.

Just kidding, even a thirty-year-old man can't escape his cover, let alone a mere tortoise.

However, everyone wanted to go wrong!

After Westbrook swiped to the free throw line, he suddenly slammed on the brakes. He didn't choose to continue to break through, but came to an emergency stop, and staged a signature zombie jumper.

"Bang ~ swish!"

The basketball hits the board and enters the frame, and two points are valid.

"..."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became strange.

Ma Dan!

We all took off our pants, so this is the end result?

Aren't you Megatron?

Aren't you known for your actual combat dunks and defensive champions?

On the contrary! What are you talking about...

Wang Zelin, who had shrunk the penalty area, was also a little depressed~www.mtlnovel.com~ He didn't expect Westbrook to hold back when he made a close call, and it was rare that he didn't come up.

But I have to say that Westbrook's offensive choice this time is actually very wise. When there is no defense, open shots and dunks are also two points. Why not choose a more secure offensive method?

Westbrook returned recklessly, but he was not stupid. He understood that the team urgently needed to chase points at this time, and his desire to win restrained his desire to perform.

At this time, you should play it safe. If you make a rash move, with the defensive pressure that Wang Zelin showed just now, if you make a move yourself, the game may go far.

Emmm, what Wang Zelin met tonight was Westbrook who ate lychees.
