NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 1077 The last game before the All-Star
How abnormal is the physical fitness of the peak Marshal Zhang?
As a latecomer, Wang Zelin is actually not clear about this issue, because he has never experienced it himself.
No way, who made him never watch Chamberlain play at his age.
Although he learned from the system that his physical talent was still a little behind the peak Dashuai Zhang, but he thought that the gap between the two sides was already very small.
In other words, he is another Marshal Zhang under the current basketball system.
According to the records of ancient games and some media people, Zhang Dashuai has left countless legends in the sports industry.
In the 1950s, Chamberlain participated in many track and field competitions during his college years. He had excellent results in running, long jump, and shot put, and won a national championship in shot put.
He also won the high jump title in 1958 at 6 feet 6 inches (98 meters), which earned him selection to the All-Meter track team.
This is the result of Chamberlain on the IAAF website. It belongs to the kind with pictures and facts, and his jumping ability is undoubtedly top-notch.
Before Chamberlain entered the NBA, one of the most exaggerated rumors is that in the ancient times when the rules were not perfect, he developed a new type of free throw method, that is, the free throw jump dunk.
When Chamberlain was a sophomore, the rule was that he could not step into the three-second zone before the ball rack went in, but he could leave the penalty area. Therefore, he adopted a run-up dunk method, dunking in first and then stepping on the three-second zone.
After that, the NBA issued a new rule, which prohibits dunks from the free throw line!
This rule was promulgated in 1953, which means that the free thrower cannot cross the free throw line until the ball touches the basket or backboard.
That is to say, it is illegal to take off when taking a free throw, step on the line when landing, or even cross over.
And the official rulebook clearly injects into the rule change because of Chamberlain's inhuman performance.
However, it needs a run-up, and it does not play on the spot. After the rules were revised, Chamberlain never used his unique serve method again.
At that time, only Chamberlain could do this. It was not until the appearance of Dr. J Irving 20 years later that Chamberlain's monopoly on jumping and dunking from the free throw line was broken.
As for the development of basketball, has the distance from the free throw line to the basket ever changed?
The answer is: no!
It has not changed from the earliest days until today, but the width of the entry has been changed. The reason for the change is similar to that of Chamberlain's free throw line dunk back then. It is also to limit a later super center.
Although his physical talent is still a little short of the peak of Chamberlain, looking at the display on the system panel: 98 explosive power, 99 agility, 98 bounce, 99 bounce speed, and 96 dunk, Wang Zelin's mood changed from Never before have I been more eager to get out and wreak havoc on the rim.
He wants to try a dunk that he has never tried before?
He wanted to test how far he could dunk from?
He also wants to know, when his agility reaches 99, can he unlock more extreme fancy dunks?
Since so many people think that he can't and dare not participate in the dunk contest, then he wants to do the opposite.
This year's Portland All-Star Weekend, he wants to let basketball fans all over the world see with their own eyes what it means that yellow people can fly!
…
…
On February 13, Wang Zelin followed the team to Orlando, and they will challenge the Magic away tonight.
The Magic are currently ranked at the bottom of the East and the Philadelphia 75ers, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Knicks are three teams that can be called difficult brothers. Just halfway through the season, they have already decided to dive into the lottery zone of the June draft.
Against such a team, the Trail Blazers led the whole way, and finally beat the Magic 135:105, 30 points, and won the 52nd victory of the season.
Tonight, Wang Zelin clocked in three quarters and got off work easily. His personal data was fixed at 33 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. He was rated as the best in the game.
That night the team returned to Portland for their final game before the All-Star break.
The opponent is the Boston Celtics, who have risen strongly in the Eastern Conference this year.
Just a month ago, on January 20, the Trail Blazers and the Celtics had just played against each other for the first time of the season at the North Shore Garden, the Celtics' home court. In the end, the Blazers narrowly won 129:125.
If this game hadn't relied on Wang Zelin's brutal performance of 47 points, 22 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks, the Blazers might have really capsized.
At the same time, the loss to the defending champion by four points in the previous game made the young Green Army members feel suffocated. This season, as the players' chemical reactions have become better and better, the team's record is getting better and better. From the management, the coaching staff, to the players, the Green Army set their goals again and again, and finally reached the level of the championship.
Yes, you heard that right, the Celtics have seen them as a team with championship potential.
It doesn't matter whether you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth is too thick, or you are overconfident, but it is undeniable that this young green shirt army is rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and has become a powerful Eastern power.
At present, in the entire Eastern Conference, the only ones who can be slightly stronger than them are the Big Three of the Cavaliers in Cleveland and the Big Three of the Bulls in Chicago.
This is an out-and-out strong team, so the Blazers have to be vigilant and concentrate on preparing for the game.
…
On the 12th, the Celtics team has arrived in Portland.
Portland is already a well-known tourist city in all meters. With the arrival of Wang Zelin and the past three championships, their exposure has reached a record high.
Especially after it was confirmed that this season's All-Star weekend will be reported in Portland, the exposure of the Portland Trail Blazers this year has far exceeded that of teams in other cities.
The All-Star Weekend of the 2016-17 season is getting closer, and the Chinese elements of the entire Portland are getting stronger and stronger. I don’t know which metropolis I thought this was coming to.
After getting off the plane, Thomas Jr. and his teammates were on the way to the hotel by bus. Looking at the lanterns with different shapes on the side of the road, and many blessings they didn’t know written in Chinese on them, they suddenly felt that the whole city shrouded in red.
"Hey guys, look over there? That thing looks really cool!"
At this moment, the teenager Ingram hurriedly pointed out the window, saying in surprise and joy.
When everyone heard the sound and watched it, they were also deeply amazed.
"I know, this thing should be called ~ lion dance, it seems to be a way of celebration in the Chinese festival, it seems that Portland is warming up for the All-Star Weekend in advance."
The well-informed Green Army marshal Brad Stevens explained to his disciples.
Speaking of it, the reason why he has an impression of the lion dance is mainly because Wang Zelin put too much pressure on the coaching staff of the Green Army.
Therefore, in order to have a deeper understanding of this formidable enemy, the coaching staff of many teams, including the coaching staff of the Green Army, have more or less learned about some of the more well-known Chinese culture.
Emmm, this can be regarded as a way of cultural transmission.
"Okay, after returning to the hotel, everyone should take the time to rest. The training will start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the pre-match meeting and interviews will be held in the afternoon. Our next opponent is very strong. Give me all the energy."
At this time, Stevens withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the team members on the bus, and said with a serious face.
"Don't worry boss, let's see how I report the Portlander's **** tomorrow!"
"Don't brag, Taylor, last time you were the worst, only got two points and three rebounds."
"Hmph! You're not much better, you just made one more three-pointer than me."
"Stop arguing, you can't kill people like this. Or... let's do it directly."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was a happy atmosphere in the bus.
Little Thomas, who was sitting in the front row, smiled lightly, and a strong fighting spirit burst out in his eyes.
In the last match, he, who was hailed as the king of the last quarter by the media, lost to Wang Zelin, who made 4 of 4 shots, and the team finally lost 125:129.
This matter has always worried Thomas Jr.
Now the opportunity came again, and he vowed to help the Celtics win a game tomorrow night.
Over the past three seasons, the Portland Trail Blazers have defeated one challenger after another as an absolute boss, and finally established the Portland dynasty.
But historical experience tells later generations that strong fortresses often disintegrate from within.
Except for the Celtics who won eight consecutive championships in NBA history, there is no other team that can achieve the myth of three consecutive championships.
The black-and-white duo Magician and Big Bird in the 1980s, the flying man who created two three-peat dynasties in the 1990s, and the OK combination at the beginning of the century, these great legends eventually stopped their three-peat for different reasons.
Under the exaggeration of the media, even though the Blazers are now ranked first in the league in probability of winning, first in the league, and the team with the fastest 50 wins, the stubborn media people still insist on conveying a concept to the outside world, that is:
As strong as the Portland Trail Blazers dynasty, it is impossible to break the four consecutive championships!
Don't look at the Blazers who are in full swing now, but in the end they will all fall in front of the championship due to various reasons.
This is the lesson that history has taught future generations.
Countless media people are trying to tell the other 29 teams in the league, bravely challenge the Blazers' throne, and the championship of this season will be born from among you.
But they seem to have forgotten that the so-called history, myths, miracles, etc., are all created by humans.
Man can conquer nature, as long as he is strong enough, nothing is impossible.
Nothing to say all night.
At 18 o'clock in the evening on the 13th, players from both sides entered the field.
The starting rosters of the two teams will be announced tonight.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Button, Batum, Jokic, Wang Zelin.
Celtics: Thomas Jr., Cj McCollum, Ingram, Amy Johnson, Al Horford.
At the end of the warm-up period, players from both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations.
Celtic locker room.
All the players lost the hilarious atmosphere on the bus yesterday, but everyone looked solemn.
The last match was at the North Shore Garden at home, and they have yet to feel the pressure from the strongest team in the league.
Arrived in Portland today, and came to the Rose Garden Arena, home of the Trail Blazers. From the moment I stepped into this devil's home stadium, I saw the four championship flags flying from the top, and the strong atmosphere of the big boss The Green Army players were almost out of breath.
Even Thomas Jr., the leader of the Green Army, is immersed in the Trail Blazers' championship heritage at the moment.
Marshal Stevens saw that the atmosphere in the locker room was so dull.
It seems that it is necessary to pour some chicken soup, he clapped his hands to attract the attention of the players:
"The importance of today's game to us is self-evident, and I won't talk about other nonsense. Please remember that our goal this year is the championship, and the Portland Trail Blazers are undoubtedly on the way to the championship The biggest whetstone. So...go for it, believe in yourself, nothing is impossible.”
"There is a good saying, I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"
"So what if the Trail Blazers are a dynasty? What if they were brilliant in the past three years? Don't forget that we are the biggest giants in NBA history! All of us have the winning genes that belong to the Celtics, and we are born Winner!"
"So let's give it a go, today's game is our battle of honor!"
All the Celtics players were incited with blood boiling in their chests. They raised their right fists and shouted loudly:
"Fight for honor!"
"Fight for honor!"
"Fight for honor!"
…
It has to be said that every famous head coach in the NBA is a first-class master of chicken soup.
Especially for a talented head coach like Marshal Stevens, his skill in cooking chicken soup is almost catching up with Director Lu and Rivers.
However, this has a lot to do with Stevens' NBA coaching career and the almost simultaneous rise of the Celtics.
Stevens and the group of young people in front of him supported each other and slowly groped along the way as rookies, and finally allowed the legendary Celtics to rise again.
If it were someone else, it would be impossible for these words to achieve such an effect.
Only Stevens, who has been with the team and players all the way, can use his impassioned tone like a historical elegy to raise the morale of the team to the peak before the game~www.mtlnovel.com~ And in the Trail Blazers In the locker room.
The atmosphere was naturally not that depressing, but not many people spoke. Everyone was silently packing up the shoe insoles with bandages on their ankles, and began to change their jerseys.
How is the locker room environment of a team sometimes? Is the team chemistry good? It is reflected in these details.
A strong enemy is coming, Wang Zelin and his teammates are fully prepared to face tonight's game in the best condition.
Head coach Terry Stotts saw everyone's expressions and knew that everyone also valued this game very much, so he didn't need to instill chicken soup to everyone.
The Blazers' ability to win three consecutive championships is not simply achieved by pouring a few words of chicken soup, but the three consecutive championships.
Seeing that everyone was ready, he also clapped his hands to attract the players' attention:
"Guys, it's time for us to go, and we can't make the fans wait."
