NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 216 Undercurrent of Nuggets

Wang Zelin, who gave A Jiali a Chinese class all night, did not pull his hips in this game. Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass did not cause Wang Zelin much trouble.

After all, these two people, one has passed the peak, and the other is just a role player in his career. Wang Zelin, who is going uphill, can easily solve the Celtics' inside line.

Throughout the game, the Celtics' style of play was obviously faulty, and the outside and inside lines did not form an effective containment.

Paul Pierce made 19 shots today, but only hit 6 goals. He scored the highest 23 points for the Celtics, but the shooting rate was only a pitiful 31.5%.

Kevin Garnett hit 9 of 16 shots with good efficiency, scoring the second-highest 20 points on the team.

But the performance of the two did not have any impact on the final result of the game, and even the commentators who commented on the game shook their heads and sighed: "The Celtics have lost their souls this year, and have never played the Big Three again. As united as the first two years, since Ray Allen left, the era of the Big Three is over!"

Compared to the Trail Blazers, who looked at one place and worked hard, the Celtics lost their hearts, and the team was naturally not easy to lead.

In the end, the Blazers defeated the Boston Celtics for the second time at home with 121:98 to avoid a three-game losing streak again.

Lillard's state continued to rise, scoring the following game-high 31 points and sending 8 assists, 4-of-6 from three-pointers, and an overall shooting rate of 55.4%, which is Lillard's best this season. one of several games.

Mike Roberts, who was in the starting position, also scored 11 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and played a performance that convinced his teammates and coaching staff.

Wang Zelin, who was last in his body, had average desire today. He hit 7 goals in 9 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 16 points.

Although the score did not count as 20, the 12 rebounds were in line with the usual style, and the 8 assists were even more impressive.

The quasi-triple-double of 16 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists made fans more sure that Wang Zelin was trying to help the team move forward in another way.

Facing the Green Army's inside lineup, Wang Zelin is capable and promising to play beautiful data, but he is able to restrain his desire to score, help his teammates score and help the team win by sacrificing himself.

He is so selfless!

My family knows about their own affairs, and only Wang Zelin knows the reason for so few shots tonight.

For this unexpected joy, he can only say that it was unintentional.

By the way, Connet Lee, who was traded to the Blazers, played well against the old owner. In 22 minutes off the bench, he shot 6 of 9 from the field, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 15 points and 2 rebounds. A plus-minus of 11 means the Blazers outscored opponents by 11 points in the 22 minutes he was on the floor.

...

After the battle with the Celtics, the Blazers' record became 41 wins and 16 losses. The Thunder, who had just climbed from the third position to the second child, would have to be nervous again. Their record of 41 wins and 15 losses was not enough to guarantee a stable position in the West. Second.

After a three-day rest, the Blazers ushered in their last game in February at home against the Denver Nuggets, which are also in the northwest.

The Nuggets currently have a record of 40 wins and 17 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference behind the Spurs, Thunder and Trail Blazers.

"Last time in Denver Plateau, we lost to them. I experienced the power of the Devil's home court first-hand, but this time back at our home court, my teammates and I are very confident and successfully defend the victory."

In an interview with media reporters before the game, Wang Zelin seemed very calm.

"Wang, who do you think the Nuggets should pay attention to the most?"

"Of course it's Andre Iguodala. He's an underrated player. The Tunnels are able to achieve such a record. The main contributor must be their coach George Karl. I think the second contributor is Iguodala."

"But now a lot of people think Ty Lawson is the leader of the Nuggets..."

The reporter retorted.

Indeed, Ty Lawson averaged 16 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game this season, most of which are career highs.

In the eyes of the outside world, he is the well-deserved perimeter core of the Nuggets.

As for Iguodala, the average data is only 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which is almost the same as that of the 75ers last season.

Except for a few veteran fans who like to get to the bottom of things, most fans feel that Iguodala is just playing his due performance, and he has not brought some major changes to the Nuggets.

"That's all fake," Wang Zelin said with a calm expression, chuckling: "With all due respect, Ty Lawson is just a system player, and his stats have a lot of water!"

The reason why Wang Zelin has such a performance is not only because Ty Lawson is indeed a lousy person off the court, but more importantly, when the drunkard was a foreign aid in his Fujian team in his previous life, he posted some indecent articles on social media. Photos, as well as text that insults Chinese women.

This made him naturally disgusted with Ty Lawson.

The ready-made photographers aimed at Wang Zelin all the time, and the reporters were even more happy.

The smell of gunpowder before the two teams has been opened is so strong, and it will be worth it when it is opened.

On the other end, Ty Lawson instantly turned gloomy when he heard the reporter's retelling, and said, "Listen to the celestial boy, we were able to win last time, and this time is no exception, you wait to go home and find your mother to wipe your tears! "

Away locker room.

"Hi Lawson!"

Iguodala greeted Ty Lawson as usual when he returned from his pre-game interview.

"Humph!"

Who knew that Ty Lawson not only did not respond, but also made a face.

what?

Iguodala stood dumbfounded.

Could this guy be drinking fake wine?

Iguodala thinks he is a very easy-going person... In fact, most of the Nuggets have become good friends with him, but only Ty Lawson, who directly maintains general teammate relationship.

After putting his hot face on his cold **** a few times, Iguodala didn't take the initiative to communicate with Ty Lawson, an alcoholic.

They are all workers, so why should I treat you like an uncle.

...

At 7 p.m., the Blazers' home court, Rose Garden Arena.

The place was already full of spectators.

For the Blazers and fans, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to be able to watch the team win at home.

In the brightly lit arena, the starters of the two teams stood on the field.

This is the starting lineup of Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Mike Roberts and Wang Zelin for the Blazers.

On the Nuggets side, Ty Lawson, Andre Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, Konesch Faridd and Costa Kufus are in the starting lineup.

Tonight's opponent, Costa Kufoss, was just a role player in the end of his career. In the 12-13 season, 8 points, 7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks were his peak season performance.

In other words, this year's Costa Kufus has reached the peak of his career, but there is still a big gap in strength from Wang Zelin's level.

The jump ball was won by Wang Zelin.

The Trail Blazers' first offense.

Lillard dribbled the ball over half court. The Spurs' defensive tactics were mainly man-to-man, and Ty Lawson came to guard Lillard.

No matter how much Wang Zelin looked down on Ty Lawson before the game, the Blazers coaching staff still did not dare to despise the opponent.

As a fast and strong point guard, Ty Lawson can not only hold Lillard at speed, but he is not afraid of physical confrontation, which makes Lillard very uncomfortable.

So in the first ball, Lillard did not choose to entangle with Ty Lawson.

He took the ball outside the three-second zone and passed it back to Batum, who was at a 45-degree angle to the three-point line on the right. Batum faltered and saw that Wang Zelin had circled from the bottom corner on the left to the low position on the right, and quickly handed the ball over. out.

This is a common inside rotation ball tactic currently used by the Blazers, and the beneficiary is Wang Zelin.

At the moment of catching the ball, everyone's eyes were on Wang Zelin, and Costa Kufus hurriedly posted it. Just when Wang Zelin was about to play a single, Iguodala surrounded Wang Zelin from nowhere and formed a package for Wang Zelin. folder.

"Double-team at the beginning, you look down on me too much!"

Wang Zelin complained and passed the ball to Mike Roberts, who jumped up for a dunk, but was blocked by Cornes Farid behind him.

Damn, I almost forgot, the current inside partner has changed from Aldridge to Mike Roberts, and the offensive capabilities of the two are several blocks away!

The Trail Blazers attacked the iron for the first time, and the entire Nuggets showed what is called a "running and jumping team". Cornes Farid caught up with Iguodala with a touchdown pass, and Iguodala completed the dunk in the frontcourt.

Lightning Strikes Back!

Before the audience could react, the Nuggets took the lead 2-0.

"The Nuggets are notoriously fast in the league in counterattacking and fast breaks, and the team with the highest scoring average this season is the Nuggets in front of me...

With a league-leading 106.1 points, the Nuggets are averaging 101 points per game, and their defensive efficiency is not bad, ranking in the middle of the league…”

The commentator at the scene raised his voice and shouted, as if to remind the Blazers that they should not underestimate others because the opponent's record fell on them.

"Fared, why didn't you pass it on to me just now?"

After seeing Iguodala complete the dunk, Ty Lawson looked back at Cornes Farid with a dissatisfied face.

"I passed it on to him because I saw his chances were better!"

Cornes Farid explained with an aggrieved look.

Since Ty Lawson averaged 16:043.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game last season, he became the leading scorer in the Nuggets, and led the Nuggets to a 38-28 record and successfully entered the playoffs Later, Ty Lawson, who has a strong personality, began to look like the leader of the Nuggets.

"Next time you have a chance, remember to pass it to me as soon as possible. I am the point guard, and I am the boss of the team!" Ty Lawson said in a slightly threatening tone.

"understood!"

"That's good."

After hearing the reply, Ty Lawson nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, the reason why he didn't like Iguodala at first was mainly because of their different styles.

A well-mannered and well-received off-court, a good gentleman in the hearts of fans and the media.

The other is an alcoholic, irritable, rotten person who has been summoned by the court many times for breaking the law.

The two are destined to not be able to urinate in a pot.

With the team's record getting better and better, Ty Lawson made up his mind to regard a Iguodala as a good thug. As long as the other side can help the team win, the two will not make trouble.

But then things went beyond his expectations.

With the deepening of the regular season, the tactical position that the old man George Karl arranged for Iguodala became higher and higher, and even affected his core position on the outside.

This is something Ty Lawson absolutely cannot allow.

He didn't want to see the status he had earned after three years of hard work, just because half a season was given up to an outsider in vain.

Realizing that he was offended, Tylawson's attitude toward Iguodala grew worse.

Perhaps this is why Iguodala in the original world announced to jump out of the final year of the contract after the season to test the waters of the free market.

In order to become a restricted free agent, Iguodala did not hesitate to give up the salary of 16.1 million yuan in the 2013-14 season, which shows how serious the conflict between him and Ty Lawson was at that time.

...

The game continues.

Trail Blazers attack.

Lillard broke through with the ball.

Although there was Wang Zelin's cover, he was attacked by Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler when he broke through to the paint area.

Wilson Chandler helped defend, and Batum quickly ran out of the space. At this time, Iguodala, who was defending Matthews, rushed to cover Batum, who was a very threatening shooting point for the Blazers on the outside. .

Seeing this, Matthews resolutely turned to the weak side and stood at a 45-degree angle.

Lillard returned the ball to Wang Zelin, who quickly handed the ball out with a shot.

The basketball flew to the other side, and everyone's eyes followed.

Vacant Matthews!

There was a scream from the Rose Garden Arena.

Matthews received the basketball in the open position, glanced at the basket, and quickly shot.

"Shh!"

"Will's open opportunity... the ball is scored!" the home announcer shouted.

"Beautiful, the Blazers overtake by one point!"

On the sidelines, the commentator of the game and NBA legend Reggie Miller said.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I can't help feeling that Wang's passing vision is always so broad and the timing is always so accurate!"

Aside, the handsome Chris Webber couldn't help but admire.

"Haha! Chris, stop pretending, your passing **** back then should be above the king!"

Reggie Miller laughed.

"That's all in the past, and now it's the world of young people."

Weber waved his hand modestly.

3:2.

The digging team attacked.

Ty Lawson dribbled the ball over halfcourt to organize an offense, and Iguodala ran to the basket along the sideline. The timing was very accurate, and Matthews, who was defending him, did not react.

"ball!"

Iguodala raised his left hand and shouted in his heart.

But the pass is too late...

It shouldn't be!

Judging from Lawson's usual passing ability~www.mtlnovel.com~ he can seize this opportunity.

At this point, Matthews chased into the paint, and the golden opportunity was gone.

at the same time.

Costa Cuvers raised the top of the arc to cover Ty Lawson and blocked Lillard.

Seeing this, Wang Zelin moved at the free throw line and immediately won, successfully covering Ty Lawson.

Ty Lawson didn't have a good chance and turned the ball to Wells Chandler.

There is not much time left, and Wells Chandler can only use his unaccustomed emergency stop shot.

Finally hit an iron!

Mike Roberts protected the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Lillard, and there was a burst of cheers from the scene.

"Counterattack!!!"
