NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 336 Lu Bu fights 3 more battles

After two days of rest, on the 8th, the Blazers flew to Eastern New York.

After this away game, the Blazers will usher in 4 consecutive home games, namely the Jazz, the Lakers, the Grizzlies and the 75ers. Except for the back-to-back game against the 75ers, they need to go to the East again, and the remaining three games are in the West. fight.

The next period of time should be regarded as a relatively loose field for the Blazers. Therefore, Wang Zelin and his teammates wanted to get a good start in the battle with the Knicks.

The game on the evening of the 8th will be broadcast live by TNT and the Court.

Don't look at the recent mess of the Knicks, but after all, they are located in the Big Apple City, and there is no shortage of traffic.

In addition, the other team tonight is the menacing Portland Trail Blazers, this game is very concerned whether it is on the other side of the ocean or in the United States.

In the United States, the media before the game was very hyped. Among them, the New York media dealt the most. I don't know how strong the Knicks are now.

The game starts at 7:30pm.

After getting off the plane, Wang Zelin did not go to the hotel with the team, but went to New York with his girlfriend Lena.

The boss of his own is quite open-minded, not as rigid as the Magic boss of the year, not allowing the family members of players to take the charter flight to the away game.

From 10:30 to 13:30, the two casually had lunch outside. The pre-match meeting at 14:00 in the afternoon was about to start. After Wang Zelin handed over the tickets that Terry Stotts needed yesterday to Leina, Hotel will be.

After the meeting, there will be training in the afternoon, and Wang Zelin will pick her up after the training is over.

Terry Stotts was relieved when he saw that Wang Zelin stepped into the door of the hotel at the last time, and his state was still the same as before.

There's no way, young man, the firewood is on fire. I'm really afraid that after Wang Zelin goes out, he will be like that in the daytime...

Fortunately, my worries are superfluous.

He can't help worrying so much. The players who entered the league after 2000 are very different from the players of the last century before 2000. At least in terms of mental development, the players of the last century were much better than today's players.

It is mainly the autumn rain that entered the NBA after the 21st century. Few people can endure the loneliness of college for 10 years. Most people choose to enter the NBA after one year of college, dreaming of becoming a millionaire and a multi-millionaire overnight. dream.

The role players are better. Due to the relatively lack of talent, they need more college time to hone their skills and don't need to worry too much.

The core players are different. They are basically under the age of 20 when they enter the league, and most of them are not very mature. Therefore, today's NBA head coaches have another job - babysitting.

After all, not everyone is like LeBron James. When he entered the league at the age of 18 or 19, he was like an old fritter in his early thirties...Ahem, don't get me wrong, it's not that he looks like he's complimenting his maturity.

If you meet some young core with perverse personality, tsk tsk tsk!

Terry Stotts couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Although Wang Hui opened the map from time to time, had his own ideas when he played, and there were a lot of lace news... But he was indeed a good team core.

After the Yellow Mamba Roy withered, why are there so many people regretting it?

On the one hand, his talent is indeed outstanding, and the other is that he showed an excellent leadership style when he first entered the league, much like the core players who entered the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s.

Therefore, the coaches of each team will give him a high evaluation, and will be so regretful after withering.

...

After returning to the room and taking three minutes to wash off the odor of sweat, Wang Zelin and his teammates came to the conference hall of the hotel.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about. The Knicks are rotten to a certain extent now, and they will send a warm feeling to anyone they meet.

However, Tristos repeatedly emphasized in the meeting that he should not underestimate his opponents, and then he poured chicken soup.

An hour later, the Blazers came to the Knicks home Madison Square Garden training, began to prepare for the night's game.

Coincidentally, when I got to the arena, I met a Knicks player who also came to prepare for the game early. Wang Zelin went up to say hello.

"Yo, this is not Cameron, I haven't seen you for a few days, so pull it!"

"..." Anthony rolled his eyes unhappily, "Wang, you are enough, your current behavior is, in Chinese words, that a dog can't spit out ivory."

"Uh, where did you learn Tianchao dialect? It sounds pretty good."

Hearing the Tianchao words from Anthony's mouth, although the pronunciation is a bit strange, the content is still clear.

Che, can I tell you, this is to please the Chinese market and let the Chinese fans vote for me more All-Star votes?

After chatting for a while, there was a training ground for preparations just now.

Against the Knicks, the Blazers' preparation is very simple: just like the first game at the beginning of the season, split Anthony and other teammates, let Anlubu let go, if he really fights and wins tonight The Trail Blazers are three young men, and Terry Stotts also recognizes them.

Perhaps it is because of the same heart, well-known domestic media, such as Shouhu, Wangyi and other websites, all put the words "Lu Bu and Sanying" in the headlines.

Almost everyone knows that the Knicks want to win tonight, depending on Anthony's performance tonight, including Anthony himself is also very clear about the situation tonight.

...

After the pre-match training in the afternoon, Wang Zelin and his teammates went to a restaurant that the team had booked in advance for lunch.

Today is also considered lucky to be able to train at Madison Square Garden. In the past, the Knicks' training arena was in Tali Hall, which is nearly 50 kilometers away. It takes about an hour for a single trip.

Although it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the environment is relatively quiet, it is a good place to focus on training, but when it comes to the official competition, the one-hour drive is really a waste of time.

Wang Zelin has learned about a gossip in a previous life. At that time, the reason why Durant chose to join the Nets instead of the Knicks was because he thought the Knicks’ training hall was too far away, and the Nets’ training ground was far from Madison Garden Arena. Very close, only 12 minutes by car.

well, let's get back to business.

At 19 o'clock in the evening, the head coaches of both sides made a low-angle starting list.

The Blazers or the Five Tigers will remain the same.

On the Knicks side, point guard Raymond Felton, shooting guard Iman Shumpert, small forward Tim Hardaway II, power forward Carmelo Anthony, and center Andrea Bargnani.

Yes, you read that right, Anthony played the power forward position tonight.

It can only be said that the Knicks are indeed unfavorable this season. Although they won the New York Derby last game and refused to kneel for 10 consecutive times, their previous starting power forward Kenyon Martin was injured after only halftime. be absent for a while.

Kenyon Martin was suddenly injured, which made the Knicks, who were not rich in available inside players, even worse.

In the away locker room, after learning about the Knicks' starting roster, Wang Zelin couldn't help laughing and patted Aldridge next to him: "LaMarcus, I watched your performance tonight."

As far as the Knicks are concerned, with Anthony's weight and big ass, there is nothing wrong with playing a power forward, but the problem is his defense...

As for the Italian center, Wang Zelin has become more and more handy.

Aldridge was too lazy to answer and continued to check the equipment.

19:30, Madison Square Garden, the stars are shining.

In addition to Angel City, the Big Apple is the favorite metropolis of Hollywood stars. The dazzling Broadway, Lincoln Center, the Statue of Liberty and Wall Street are all enough for a large number of stars from all walks of life to spontaneously gather here.

"Anthony plays a power forward? I'm curious, how would he feel if he was dislocated to defend the king?"

After getting the starting list, Yang Yiwei smiled.

"According to statistics, the Knicks' current interior defensive efficiency ranks fourth from the bottom in the league. There are not many teams worse than them. They are all those teams that have been rotten all the year round. Tonight, we have to deal with the king, tsk. tsk."

As Wang Meng spoke, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the Knicks insider.

Yang Yi shook his head: "No way, who hurt Tyson Chandler, the Knicks lost the only barrier to the inside line, and the rest are all crooked melons and cracked dates."

TNT live broadcast ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Barkley laughed: "Kenny, come to gamble?"

"Hmm? Don't tell me you want to bet on who loses and who wins."

Kenny Smith looked over with a suspicious look on his face.

What the **** is this guy trying to do?

"I'm not so superficial," Barkley shrugged and continued: "Well, let's bet Cameron will get a few caps tonight. More than 3 counts as my win. Anyway, you win, and you can be responsible for tonight's loss. For a late night snack, the winner of the place will be determined."

Looking at Barkley's bloated figure, and touching his wallet, Kenneth Mies said, "I want to add one more, and I will only come if I agree."

"OK!"

Buckley considered it for a moment, then nodded.

Anyway, Kenny Smith's appetite has not been as good as his own, and even if he loses, he won't be able to bleed much.
