NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 547 As a guest of the Clippers, a stunning start
Wang Zelin took a brief look at the schedule for the next few days.
Again, the Trail Blazers' schedule at the beginning of this season is indeed quite favorable to them. Only three of the first ten games are away games.
Next, they will go to Los Angeles on the 8th to challenge the Clippers, one of the Los Angeles duo. On the 9th, they will return to the home court non-stop for back-to-back games against the Denver Nuggets.
In terms of strength, the Clippers are an out-and-out playoff team in the West, and even one of the top four seeds in the West.
As for the Denver Nuggets, the Nuggets management seems to have resigned to their fate. The start of the season has been chaotic, and the news revealed is very obvious:
To put it mildly, it is called the reconstruction period!
To put it bluntly, it just started to look bad!
Therefore, even if it is back-to-back, the Nuggets are no longer the object of the Trail Blazers' plan, and their focus is on the Clippers.
In the 2013~2014 season that just passed, Chris Paul, the head of the Clippers, had just been selected for the season's double first team, and at the same time won the honor of the season's steals king.
The "God of Point Guard" is still at its peak!
After a day of preparations, at 6 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in their first away game after three consecutive games.
With Chris Paul and jj Redick on the outside, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan on the inside, and the offensive player on the flanks, Jamal Crawford, there is no doubt that the Clippers are a team with the league One of the best configurations of the team.
But such a team still fell in the second round last year. Although it is said that there is some element of fate, the outside world has some sympathy for them, but considering that their opponent in the second round was last season's regular season champion Trail Blazers If so, everything seems to be so reasonable.
Even though the 2013~2014 season has passed, fans are still shocked whenever they recall the Portland youth team's near-dominating performance on the playoffs stage last season.
Why add the word "closer"?
the reason is simple.
The only loss the Blazers have in the playoffs is a loss to their opponents tonight, the Los Angeles Clippers.
Only one game away, the Trail Blazers can achieve the best record in history of sweeping all opponents in the playoffs.
Even after winning the championship, I have to say that that game still became a small regret in the hearts of Wang Zelin and his teammates.
So today's first game against the Clippers in the new season, they must win.
Coincidentally, the Clippers thought so too.
Because in the eyes of the Clippers from the players down to the fans, if the G4 game hadn't been because Griffin accidentally injured his ankle after rushing for a rebound and missed the next game, the Clippers might not be able to reverse the series at 1:2 .
Once the playoffs are reversed and the Trail Blazers are defeated, judging from the experience of the Spurs and the Heat who have been killed by the Trail Blazers 4:0, in the eyes of the Clippers fans, the Clippers are the first to lead the Trail Blazers 1:0 in the series. , the same experience can be reproduced.
Therefore, under rounding, the Clippers agreed that it was God who helped the Trail Blazers steal their championship.
So tonight, they must teach those thieves of the Trail Blazers a lesson.
Defending champion?
I bother!
en…
Well, I'm afraid Wang Zelin would never have imagined that the brain circuit on the Clippers side is so passionate.
On the court, after the warm-up of the two teams, the starting lineups of the two teams tonight were shown on the big screen.
Clippers: Paul, Redick, Keliu, Griffin, Jordan Jr.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
After Wang Zelin jumped the ball for the Blazers, Lillard dribbled across half court.
The game officially started.
Wang Zelin turned to the low position on the right wing first, and after seeing Lillard quickly advancing to the top of the arc, he suddenly turned around and cut to the basket.
The opposing Jordan was taken a step away by him, but Griffin had already moved to the basket.
Last season's double first team, the active No. 1 point guard Chris Cannon is planning to implement a close defense against Lillard, who is not stable.
He is good at man-to-man defense, especially good at close defense, with various small moves, making the offensive side feel extremely uncomfortable all the time. When the attacking side was troubled, his ghostly hands probed again, and this is how he won the steals champion for four consecutive times!
However, after Lillard noticed that Wang Zelin was moving towards the basket, he immediately pushed with both hands and threw the ball from Paul's head towards the basket.
Paul hurriedly turned his head and saw Wang Zelin jumping up to meet Griffin, grabbing the ball with both hands first, and then colliding with Griffin in the air.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, he saw Griffin being easily knocked away, and then with a bang, Wang Zhelin smashed the ball into his own basket.
"This 13 is a livestock!"
Paul sighed inwardly.
If he could cooperate with such an insider in the early years, let alone the floor of the Western Conference Finals that the outside world always ridicules, maybe he has several championship rings?
When Paul looked back at Lillard again, his eyes were extremely complicated.
There is jealousy, resentment, emotion... Of course, there is more envy.
I was still deeply troubled by the curse of the Western Conference finals, and the kid on the opposite side had already brought a championship on his thigh.
With such thighs, he can be replaced!
"Chris, did you see that, just you break the inside line, you want to defend but not defend, you want to attack but not attack, you still expect to win the championship here? Don't say that you can't beat us Trail Blazers, I'm afraid even the Lakers, you guys Now there is a high probability that they are no longer opponents. Hurry up and consider changing teams!"
When Wang Zelin passed by, he dropped a word to Paul.
The intention is obvious, to engage people's mentality.
Paul just shook his head, didn't say much, picked up the ball and threw it to Griffin, and pushed forward after receiving the ball.
He advanced to the top of the arc and didn't stop much. Seeing that Griffin mentioned the three-point line according to the tactical requirements, he easily passed Lillard with the help of a pick-and-roll.
Speedy defense from Blazers 36!
Want to play big?
With regard to the skills of playing small and big, Paul can definitely be ranked in the top five, or even the top three in the outside line of the league.
The next moment, I saw Paul cheer up and began to dribble the ball constantly under the crotch, looking for breakthrough opportunities.
There were also cheers from the sidelines.
Everything is developing in the direction of Xiao Dada.
Wang Zelin thought the same way, rooting under his feet, spreading his arms, and kept looking at Paul's shoulders.
Suddenly, Paul saw Griffin enter the wing from the left three-point line, and there was a space to receive the ball. He rushed forward and forced Wang Zelin to back his legs. As soon as he sent with both hands, the ball was already sent.
Facts have proved that Paul still upholds the traditional concept of passing the first position first.
Of course, he is also the strongest in history in terms of his ability to find open space for his teammates.
Griffin received the ball~www.mtlnovel.com~ Seeing that his good partner Jordan had already stuck Aldridge in the low post on the left wing, he lifted his spirits and immediately rushed to the paint with the ball.
After he entered the paint area, Wang Zelin turned his head around and made a sudden effort, striding towards the basket.
Griffin flew up, holding the ball in both hands, and the Tyrannosaurus rex dunk was already in place, and was about to smash down.
Suddenly, Captain Paul on the other side exclaimed: "Be careful!"
Griffin's heart shook, and he felt the eyes of the people in front of him shake for a while, and then he heard a slap, and a huge force hit the basketball in his hand.
Wang Zelin jumped up, relying on his super long arms, crossed Griffin's body and slapped the basketball away.
At this moment, the benefits of long wingspan have been fully demonstrated.
The basketball was sent flying out of bounds, causing the fans in the front row to exclaim.
