NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 258 Not as good as others

Portland, Rose Garden Arena, the Trail Blazers were all excited.

The series leads by a big score of 2:0. If they win another game and lead by 3:0, it is basically impossible for the Thunder to come back.

This is an iron law of the NBA!

Because since the founding of the NBA, there have been great reversals from a 1:3 deficit, and a comeback from a 0:3 deficit has never been done before.

The degree of difficulty is somewhat similar to that of Chuanbaozhen in the future, another underground party in the new era.

It's a joke, a joke, a joke, and netizens can still tell the difference. The probability of this is almost as low as none.

Therefore, there is no need to say much about the excitement in the Blazers team at this time.

Excited does not mean that everyone will despise the Thunder, on the contrary, the Thunder with Kevin Durant, without Westbrook to support everyone, is still a well-deserved league tycoon.

After last year's Finals, the second player in the league has gradually fallen to Durant.

When the Lakers failed to enter the playoffs, of course, Kobe was old, Kobe was not good, Kobe was about to retire, and after all kinds of gossip, Durant's second position in the league became more and more stable.

The data of 33 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the last game is the best interpretation of Durant's strength. Unfortunately, the team lost in the end, and lost 44 points, making this bright and beautiful data a bubble. Durant Te also became a laughing stock among the people.

But there was always a man who never relaxed from the beginning to the end, let alone uttered nonsense in front of the media.

This person is naturally Wang Zelin.

He knows better than anyone that Durant, who seems to be extremely powerful, is actually a short distance away from his true peak, according to the statement about realm routines in fantasy novels.

What is the peak, there are still half-step peak Dzogchen, peak Dzogchen, etc., it's like an old sow wearing a bra, a set of sets.

All in all, roughly after getting his regular season MVP, Durant will come to his true peak, reaching the state of giving and asking and doing whatever he wants.

Judging from the comprehensive score given by the system, Wang Zelin believes that Durant in the strongest period has a comprehensive score of 99, at least 98. The current 96 points are by no means the upper limit of Durant.

"Snapped!"

Thinking about it, Wang Zelin slapped his thigh abruptly.

What am I thinking about?

Rabbits will bite if they are in a hurry. Durant's 96 rating is already fierce enough. He will definitely fight back tonight, and he must be vaccinated in advance.

"that…"

Mike Roberts paused, wanted to say but didn't dare to speak, fully demonstrating the anger of a younger brother when he faced the stinky elder brother.

"If you have something to say, hurry up and let your fart go!"

Wang Zelin was angry.

I'm thinking about the future development of the team. You don't have any points in your heart, so come to bother me.

"Dagu, can you pat your own thigh, it hurts!"

After speaking, I hurriedly rubbed the red spot, the red turned purple, and the purple almost turned black.

(ー_ー)!!

...

On May 12, this is the third game of the series between the Trail Blazers VS Thunder. The latter moved to Portland to join the former to start the third round of the competition.

At the same time, in the Eastern Division on the other side, there is also a group of games today, Miami Heat VS Chicago Bulls.

Previously, the Heat led the Bulls 2:1, this is their fourth game!

It is also on the backward side, and fans are more willing to watch the game between the Blazers and the Thunder.

The reason is simple, the Bulls' star taste is shallow.

Verbally, everyone said that they liked the story of the rise of grassroots, but in fact, everyone knew more clearly, how could there be so many grassroots rises, not to mention that the Bulls faced the Miami Big Three who overcame difficulties and won 27 games in the regular season... The second longest winning streak in NBA history is so terrifying!

The Bulls can steal a victory over the top three, which is already moving enough.

Back to Portland.

In view of the high degree of attention and popularity of this game, TNT TV station, which is responsible for broadcasting and commentary, sent their most luxurious commentary lineup. The members of the F4 day group came out, Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller , Kenny Smith did not fall.

"Basketball fans watching the game, good evening, I'm Kenny Smith."

Regardless of his career as a player, Kenny Smith has won the least, but in his career as a commentator, he is indeed an uncompromising veteran among the world. He was the first to speak, and the other three had no objection.

"I'm Charles Barkley."

"I'm a Reggie Miller."

"I'm Shaquille O'Neal."

"Tonight is going to be the third game of the Western Conference semifinals. Everyone is familiar with the two teams. At present, the Thunder are 0:2 behind the Portlanders..." Kenny Smith just briefly introduced the situation on the field, O'Neal followed closely: "I said long ago that the crippled Thunder is not a match for the Trail Blazers in this series, how about it? My prediction is accurate!

Sure Smith and Reggie Miller looked at each other.

Damn, he pretended to be!

Indeed, as O'Neal said, from the first game of the series, whether in private or in front of the media, O'Neal stood firm on the side of the Trail Blazers, and boasted that Wang Zelin defeated Durant 4-2 at most.

Game 7 or something, it doesn't exist!

As the situation progressed, everyone no longer dared to underestimate the big fat man who was in charge of laughing.

People still have things.

Whenever O'Neal was happy, Barkley would always go in for it.

At first, it was a character design, but now, it is estimated that the two of them did not notice it, they have taken it seriously.

I saw Barkley retorted: "Shaquille, if it's only the third game of the series, don't say too much, there are not a few teams in history that have come back 0:2!"

"You're right," O'Neal said, "but not the Thunder team in front of me!"

After a pause, he added: "Unless Westbrook you can come back, but do you think it is possible?"

"And KD is still here. KD, who has entered his peak period, is the second active player in the Visual League! I believe he has this ability." Barkley said unconvinced.

"Tsk tsk, I was only the second person at my peak. At my peak, I built a dynasty, and I was the No. 1 in the league," O'Neal said eloquently: "Oh yes, I suddenly want to come here. Well, someone has been at their peak for so long, but he can't even get a championship ring!"

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!

Fatty, I'm going to kill you!

Come out, I'm going to duel with you! "

There are all honors in his career, but the only thing missing is a championship ring, which is the eternal pain in Barkley's heart.

Others say that this is a kind of incomplete beauty, that is, you don't feel pain if you don't pierce your body.

Barkley didn't want that kind of beauty.

"Hmph, come here, when I'm afraid of you!"

O'Neal didn't have any stage fright, he quickly took off his jacket and jumped out.

Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith opened their eyes to all this and did not step forward to stop it.

There will always be a script for the show.

Don't really think that when those stars participate in variety shows and reality shows, they are showing their true self in front of fans as they say!

No way?

...

After a short frolic, the backstage director motioned the technicians to hold up the sign. When O'Neal and Barkley saw it, they snorted at each other, tidied up their clothes and returned to their seats.

"After enjoying a heavyweight fight, let's go back to the game," Reggie Miller said. "Kenny and I just discussed the strength of the two teams on the court. We support the Blazers. After all, the two-tower lineup and the outside shooter, no matter from which point of view, the Blazers lineup should be more reasonable, and the tacit understanding is higher."

"Isn't this an obvious thing! Otherwise, how do you think the Trail Blazers' leading edge came from?" Barkley, who was bound by money and failed to exert his full strength, was pressed by O'Neal the whole process just now, and his heart was pressing. Turn on the fire, the tone is naturally not much better.

"That's right, then let's discuss it in detail. Where is the Blazers strong? Where is the Thunder weak? How?" Reggie Miller knew what was going on inside, so he didn't take Barkley's words seriously.

If you can, it is not impossible to replace him under O'Neal.

Make money, it's not shabby!

"It's very simple. It can be clearly seen by comparing the total offensive and defensive points of the two teams this season." Barkley nodded.

Kenny Smith looked around and took the lead: "Let's talk about the Thunder first.

This season, the Thunder averaged 105.7 points per game, ranking third in the league, second only to the Nuggets (106.1) and the Mosaic (106). They allowed 96 points per game and tied for eleventh in the league with the Philadelphia 75. Such a defense has been Very good, coupled with the super-high firepower of the top three levels, it is enough to see that Coach Scott Brooks can lead the Thunder last year to enter the finals for the first time in history, and the gold content is there.

but……"

Hearing this, many Thunder fans who were watching were stunned.

Among the words that people are most afraid to hear, there is the word "but".

Sure enough, the words behind Kenny Smith made the Thunder fans feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

"In the playoffs, the Thunder averaged 98.5 points per game, 7.2 points less than the regular season, and allowed 97.3 points per game; from here, it can be seen that Russell Westbrook is averaging 20 points per game. After scoring points, it's really hard to rely on Durant alone."

"I totally agree with Kenny's point of view." O'Neal said: "What is the concept of a 7.2 drop in points per game? In the NBA, there are countless games where one-point shots determine the outcome, not to mention as high as 7.2 points! It's enough to show the existence of the Thunder. Big problem."

"That's right." Reggie Miller said forcefully: "On the other hand, the Trail Blazers averaged 105.8 points per game in the regular season, ranking seventh in the league, three places lower than the Thunder, but their average conceding 95.5 points per game. This is very powerful. Only the Memphis Grizzlies' 89.3 points and the Los Angeles Clippers' 94.6 points are better than them in the West, which can also be ranked in the top ten in the league.

And so far in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers' average points per game have not decreased but increased, 106.4 points compared to the Thunder's 98.5 points, a simple addition and subtraction, the difference between the two teams is a full 7.9 points. Taking into account various factors, everyone knows that the difficulty of scoring offense and defense in the playoffs is far higher than that in the regular season, God! That's 7.9 points, and the Thunder without Russell is simply not a team of the same level as the Blazers. "

In the end, the four of them were even more shocked.

The fact that the Blazers can get to where they are today is by no means as simple as the so-called luck. The Thunder's lineup is incomplete, and the Blazers cannot be blamed.

Barkley was dumb for a while, and threw the last question to express his final stubbornness: "Cough, as we all know, basketball is round and not cold data, you think, the Thunder want to win tonight, Durant At least how many points do you need to get?"

"Well..." Kenny Smith hesitated for a while, thinking in his heart.

"That's not easy." O'Neal said carelessly: "Take Westbrook's 23 points together, let me do the math for you, Durant is currently averaging 30 points per game in the playoffs, plus 23 points, I'll erase it. A fraction, 50 points!"

O'Neal pointed out five fingers: "Durant has to score at least 50 points tonight. If you count on others, the Thunder have no chance of winning."

"By the way, what is Durant's career high score?"

"Don't look for it, I remember, it was 52 points against the Dallas Mavericks on January 18 this year. Well, this is the regular season."

"I found it. The highest score in the playoffs was just set this year. Not long ago, in a mosaic away from home, Durant scored 41 points, tying the previous career high score in the playoffs."

"Well, I didn't expect 50 points to be quite difficult for Durant!"

"Hey, I might know why Scarlett Johansson rejected Durant."

"..."

Chatting and chatting, not only Reggie Miller, Kenny Smith, O'Neal, but even the fans in front of the TV were embarrassed by Barkley's indecent-sounding remarks.

No one answered for a while, and Barkley also realized that he had accidentally made a mistake in his heart... ahem, he said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "Cough, I don't mean that Durant is not strong enough, on the contrary, he is very strong. Strong, but different from explosive scorers such as Jordan and Kobe, Durant is characterized by stability..."

Oh, the performance has been consistent and stable. From another point of view, there is no progress. It is no wonder that several failures have been rejected.

Everyone's eyes became more and more strange.

Wait~www.mtlnovel.com~ According to unscrupulous media reports: Wang Zelin and Scarlett once went in and out of hotels in Los Angeles, Portland, Oklahoma and other regions in pairs.

Although it has not been confirmed, the two should have had in-depth exchanges.

One thing to say, Wang Zelin is far inferior to Durant in terms of personal honors and on-court strength.

So, why did Scarlett take a fancy to Wang Zelin, who just arrived, but Durant, who repeatedly showed love and was rejected, and finally became a joke in the community.

Originally, the outside world was quite puzzled, but now through a casual remark from Barkley, everyone seems to understand something.

It turns out that Wang Zelin and Durant are not rivals at the same level, whether from the team or personally.

How about being great on the field?

How about after the finals?

How about being the youngest scoring champion?

Why is it not as good as others!
