NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 361 being pinched

After fighting each other for a few rounds at the beginning, the Blazers clearly had the upper hand.

When Wang Zelin grabbed this precious offensive rebound and indirectly assisted Matthews to hit a 3-pointer from the bottom corner, it seemed like a switch had been turned on.

When passing by the back court sideline, more than 2,000 Chinese fans in the audience chanted Wang Zelin's name in unison, injecting a new force into Staples.

Wang Zelin smiled and waved to all the fans in the stands, thanking them for their support and love.

Every time he stood on the field, as long as he could hear the cheers and support from the sidelines, he knew that he was not fighting alone!

"Beep~ sir, let's serve."

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle that Griffin and the others realized that they were in a basketball game... and they were still behind!

Clippers attack.

Paul started to instruct his teammates to move after half court, and then made tactical gestures. After Griffin picked and rolled, he went down frantically, and Aldridge turned around to keep up with conditioned reflex.

But Paul didn't shoot the ball, but made a change of direction behind his back. Anyway, the moment Lillard's center of gravity shifted laterally, he turned around with Lillard as the axis, and he broke through so easily.

As the first active point guard, not only because of Paul's unique offensive tandem ability in the league, but also because of his personal offensive ability, which is also the top level among players at the same position in the league, but also takes into account the defense.

The reason why he is called the "God of Point Guards" is a combination of multiple considerations.

For now, Lillard is still a long way from Paul's level.

Paul quickly reached the inside line, but the Blazers were not slow to respond. Since Little Jordan basically had no baskets, he was a tiger with no teeth after leaving the three-second zone. Wang Zelin boldly let him go and rushed towards the penalty area.

Facing the blockage of the big guy who was more than one head above him, reason told Paul that it was time for him to stop.

Sure enough, I saw Paul make an emergency stop, picked a rather tricky angle, threw high to avoid Wang Zelin's right hand, hit the board and bounced back into the net.

The role of the captain is not only reflected in controlling the general direction. When necessary, when it is necessary to attack, his ammunition is definitely the most abundant in the Clippers, and the threat to the opponent is also the most deadly.

One thing to say, when all the players of the Clippers are put together to compare their attacking ability at critical moments, only Paul can really be counted on.

Among the five starting five generals, Jordan has absolutely no ability to attack independently. Griffin can average 20+ per game this season. It seems that the offensive end is strong, but the means are limited.

The most important thing is to rely on extremely abnormal physical fitness, eat most opponents with strength, work in the restricted area, and shoot at a very high rate within three feet.

But three feet away...

You must know that Griffin averaged 22 points per game in his rookie season, but his points declined year by year in the next two years. The reason why he was able to set a new high of 24 points per game this season was largely due to the fact that he averaged more than 8 free throws per game. Has a steady year-over-year shooting percentage.

As for the two positions of shooting guard and small forward, JJ Redick is a catch-and-shooter, and Darren Collison has limited independent offensive ability and is good at spot-up shooting.

So, why are the Clippers so fierce in the regular season every year, when they can encounter tough problems in the playoffs, they are the ones who soften first... The lack of tough enough points at critical moments is their biggest shortcoming.

Even Paul, in the playoffs, his technical style and height are destined for him to be an inexplicable existence.

Within the height range of 183, when it comes to offense, there is only one answer!

So, even though Paul kept scoring goals late in the first quarter, Coach Terry never took it to heart.

After all, a player with a career-high score of "only" 43 points is destined to be unable to solve a game by himself.

In a way, Paul's attributes are a bit like Durant, and they're both too stable to "lose" outbursts.

At the end of the half, Paul had 14 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal. His personal statistics were extremely luxurious, and he made only 1 turnover. The efficiency of the assist-to-turnover ratio was so high that he had no friends.

But when Clippers fans looked closely, it wasn't them who were ahead. With 56:48 on the scoreboard, the Blazers had an eight-point lead over them.

Looking at it again, Jordan, who only scored 2 points in the half...

In the last game against the Timberwolves, Gelifen, who scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals in the matchup with Love, had a very poor performance tonight. Only 6 points were recorded at the end of the half, and 4 of them were still. Obtained from free throws.

By the way, Kevin Love scored 45 points, 19 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal in that game, and once again served as the leader of the empty cutting group.

And if this trend continues, Kevin Love will soon become the new leader of the empty chopping group in the alliance, and he is still the kind that no one else can match.

After all, in the field of brushing data, I am afraid that few people can surpass the Kevin Love of the Timberwolves.

Just last season, Kevin Love scored a career-high 51 points in a game against the Thunder!

And it's a large double-double with 14 rebounds.

But what's the use of that?

The Timberwolves finally lost to the Thunder's Wang Zhuang combination 140:149.

To be honest, in Wang Zelin's impression, there may be only one person who can surpass the current Kevin Love, and that is the next wolf king in the future - Karl-Anthony Towns.

Well, it can also be seen from this that the Timberwolves are old "experts"!

Back to the game.

The second half started quickly, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Little Jordan, who had no autonomy, found Wang Zelin, and it was a natural enemy. In the past, there was no second attack after grabbing the board, which was barely available. Except for the occasional cut in and a few dunks, the effect on the offensive end was about zero.

Griffin is better. Against Aldridge, the strength is taken advantage of.

After the third quarter, Griffin made a wave, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, sharing some of the responsibilities for Paul.

However, Griffin can get 8 points, and Aldridge is also not bad, because Griffin just couldn't guard him.

In a single quarter, they scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 block for the Clippers backup small forward Matt Barnes. The performance of the two can be said to be on a par.

The problem is, Aldris's shot count and hit rate is much higher than Griffin. After three quarters, 13 points were recorded, and only 9 shots were made but 5 goals were hit.

Griffin, who was vigorously cultivated by the Clippers, was rude when he shot, scoring 14 points in three quarters, but he used 13 shots and only hit 4 goals.

Yes, Griffin is actually the player with the most shots in the Clippers, but Chris Paul has 3 fewer shots than him.

This situation has been maintained since Paul joined the Clippers a year later.

Yes, for the Clippers management, how can outsiders be compared to their own.

Therefore, the Clippers played three quarters, not only did not reduce the score, but instead allowed the Trail Blazers to increase the score difference.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Coach Terry came straight and ruthless. Originally, he thought that the Clippers would be playing.

Who knows that he underestimated the strength of his own team, and some overestimated the Clippers.

Before you know it, this Blazers has become one of the few top teams in the league, and they can wrestle with them. There are the Heat and Pacers in the East, and there are probably only the Spurs and the Thunder in the West.

The Clippers are still the same, strong and strong, but the impression is always a little bit worse.

So ~www.mtlnovel.com~ When the Trail Blazers suddenly raised their defensive intensity to the playoff level, the Clippers instantly felt uncomfortable.

Except for Paul's quick adjustment, both Griffin and Jordan were caught in a long iron.

How much iron is it?

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers were 76-98, trailing by 12 points.

In the fourth quarter, only 13 points were recorded in the Clippers team's scoring statistics, and 6 points were contributed by Paul.

The Trail Blazers' score in the final quarter was not as high as in the first three quarters, only 5 points more than the Clippers, but it was enough to kill the opponent.

At 89:116, the Trail Blazers beat their opponents by 27 points.

When two teams that rely heavily on the inside meet, the weak team is destined to be pinched by the strong team.

That's how the Clippers ended tonight!
