NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 547 As a guest on the Clippers, a stunning start
Wang Zelin briefly looked at the schedule for the next few days.
Again, the Blazers' schedule at the beginning of the season is indeed quite favorable to them, with only three of the first ten games on the road.
Next, they will go to Los Angeles on the 8th to challenge the Clippers, one of the Los Angeles duo.
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 management of the Nuggets seems to have accepted their fate. The start of the season is sparse, and the news revealed is very obvious:
To put it nicely, it is called a reconstruction period!
To put it badly, it just started to rot!
Therefore, even if it is back-to-back, the Nuggets are no longer the target of the Blazers' plan, and their focus is on the Clippers.
Just in the past 2013-2014 season, the Clippers leader Chris Paul was just selected for the season double first team, and also included the honor of the season 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 Blazers ushered in their first away game after the three consecutive home games.
With Chris Paul and JJ Redick on the outside, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan on the inside, and offensive players on the flanks, Jamal Crawford, there is no doubt that the Clippers are a team that owns the league. One of the best configured teams.
But such a team still fell in the second round last year. Although there are some elements of fate, which makes the outside world feel some pity for them, it can be considered that their opponent in the second round is last season's regular season champion Trail Blazers. If so, everything seems so reasonable.
Even though the 2013-2014 season has passed, fans are still shocked when they recall that the Portland youth team played a near-dominant performance on the playoff stage last season.
Why add the word "closer"?
the reason is simple.
The Trail Blazers' only loss in the playoffs was to their rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, tonight.
Just one game away, the Trail Blazers can achieve the best record in the history of sweeping the opponents in the playoffs.
Even after winning the championship, I have to say that the game still became a small regret in the hearts of Wang Zelin and his teammates.
So today's new season opener against the Clippers, they must win.
Coincidentally, the Clippers thought so too.
Because in the eyes of the Clippers, from the players to the fans, if it wasn't for Griffin accidentally hurting his ankle after rushing for a rebound, the Clippers would not have been able to reverse the series at 1:2. .
And once the playoffs are reversed and the Blazers are defeated, judging from the experience of the Spurs and the Heat that have been killed by the Blazers 4:0, in the eyes of the Clippers fans, the Clippers took the lead in the series to lead the Blazers 1:0. , the same experience can be replicated.
So rounding it up, the Clippers agreed that God helped the Blazers steal their championship.
So tonight, they must teach the thieves of the Blazers a good lesson.
Defending champion?
I bother!
en...
Well, I'm afraid Wang Zelin would never have imagined that the Clippers' brain circuit was so angry.
On the court, after the warm-up of the two teams, the starting lineups of the two teams tonight were given on the big screen.
Clippers: Paul, Redick, G6, Griffin, Jordan.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
After Wang Zelin jumped the ball for the Blazers, Lillard dribbled over half court.
The game officially started.
Wang Zelin first turned low on the right wing, and after seeing Lillard advancing quickly to the top of the arc, he suddenly turned around and cut to the basket.
The opposing Jordan was a step away from him, but Griffin had moved to the basket.
Last season's double-first team and active first point guard Chris Cannon is planning to implement a close defense against Lillard, who is not stable.
He is very good at man-to-man defense, especially at close-up defense, and he is constantly making small movements, which makes the attacker feel extremely uncomfortable all the time. When the attacking side is troubled, his pair of ghost hands will be explored again, and this is how he has won the fourth consecutive steals king!
However, after Lillard found that Wang Zelin was moving towards the basket, he immediately pushed with both hands and threw the ball over Paul's head towards the basket.
Paul hurriedly turned his head and saw Wang Zelin jumped up against Griffin, grabbed the ball with both hands, and then collided with Griffin in the air.
"Bang!"
The next moment, he saw Griffin being knocked away easily, and then with a bang, Wang Zhelin smashed the ball into his own basket.
"This 13 is an animal!"
Paul sighed in his heart.
If he could cooperate with such an insider in the early years, let alone the floor of the Western Finals that the outside world always ridiculed, I am afraid that there are several championship rings, right?
When Paul looked back at Lillard again, his eyes were extremely complicated.
There is jealousy, unwillingness, and emotion... Of course, there is more envy.
He was still deeply troubled by the curse of the Western Finals, and the boy on the opposite side had already brought a championship on his thigh.
With this kind of thigh, it's okay to change him!
"Chris, have you seen it? You are the only ones who break the inside line. If you want to defend without defending, if you want to attack without attacking, you still expect to win the championship here? Not to mention that you can't beat us Blazers, I'm afraid even the Lakers, you guys. There is a high probability that they are not opponents now. Let’s consider changing teams quickly!”
When Wang Zelin passed by, he threw a word to Paul.
The intention is obvious, to make people mentally.
Paul just shook his head, didn't say much, picked up the ball, threw it to Griffin, and pushed forward after receiving the ball.
He pushed to the top of the arc without stopping too much, seeing that Griffin mentioned the three-point line according to the tactical requirements, and easily passed Lillard with the help of a pick-and-roll.
Speedy defense from the Blazers No. 36!
Are you going to go big?
Regarding the skills of playing small and big, Paul can definitely rank in the top five or even the top three in the league outside.
The next moment, Paul cheered up and began to dribble the ball under his crotch constantly, seeking breakthrough opportunities.
There were also cheers from the sidelines.
Everything is developing in the direction of Xiao Dada.
Wang Zelin also thought so, rooted under his feet, spread his arms, and kept staring at Paul's shoulders.
Suddenly, Paul saw Griffin access the flank from the left-wing three-point line, and there was a space to catch the ball. He rushed forward and forced Wang Zelin to back his legs. As soon as he sent both hands, the ball was already sent.
Facts have proved that Paul still adheres to the traditional concept of passing the ball first.
Of course, his ability to find teammates' vacancies is also the strongest in history.
Griffin catches the ball~www.mtlnovel.com~ Seeing that his good partner Jordan has stuck Aldridge in the low post on the left wing, he is refreshed and immediately hits the paint area with the ball.
After he entered the paint area, Wang Zelin turned around and slammed into the basket.
Griffin flew up, holding the ball in both hands, the Tyrannosaurus Rex dunk was ready to be in place, and was about to slam down.
Suddenly, Captain Paul on the other side exclaimed: "Be careful!"
Griffin's heart was shocked, and he felt his eyes sway for a while, and then he heard a pop, and a huge force hit the basketball in his hand.
Wang Zelin jumped up and, relying on his long arms, slapped Griffin's body and slapped the basketball away.
At this moment, the benefits of long wingspan are fully demonstrated.
The basketball was directly fanned out of bounds, and the fans in the front row exclaimed.
