NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 594 Fight again

field.

Ryan Kelly wanted to come with you to block Wang Zelin, but he obviously overestimated his small body's ability to bear, and was knocked away by Wang Zelin before he could stand still.

After passing two people in a row, breaking through the blockade of the Lakers' two major insiders, Wang Zelin was left with only the Lakers' guard and small forward in front of him, and he accelerated towards the penalty area.

Behind him, the generals of the Blazers also came.

Rondo and Kobe didn't know for a while whether to block Wang Zelin, or to have their own opponents in defense.

But time did not allow them to consider. When Wang Zelin stepped across the free throw line, Batum's pass was already passed in.

"boom!"

After catching the ball, he took one step and took off. Wang Zelin swung down with one arm and slammed the ball into the basket.

"Your Lakers' defense, that's it?"

After landing, Wang Zelin yelled at the surrounding players with a fierce face.

"Blow up the Lakers!"

"Blow up the Lakers!"

"Blow up the Lakers!"

The entire Rose Garden Arena was boiling, and the momentum of the Blazers climbed to the peak in an instant.

The Lakers attacked, and Rondo advanced unhurriedly after receiving the ball in the backcourt. After halftime, he commanded his teammates to move skillfully.

After so many adaptations, Rondo and Kobe's cooperation has become more and more tacit. Sometimes, he can even subconsciously find Kobe's location just by feeling.

The attack was the same this time. Kobe caught the ball with his back and immediately assumed a three-threat posture.

2:2 flat.

Seeing this scene, Weiping Bryant suddenly became excited: "This is the way to play, just hand the ball to Kobe!"

Although Yu Jia at the side was no longer surprised by this, there was still a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

Conversely, the Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard took the ball from the outside, and watched the Lakers' position behind the main defense inside.

After hesitating for a while, I still plan to continue to follow Terry Stotts' pre-match arrangement and hand the ball to Wang Zelin, who is down!

After Wang Zelin got the ball, he looked at the position of the Lakers' 32 zone defense and knew that the opponent was going to target him tonight.

But don't forget, he is not O'Neal. The offensive threat is not limited to the basket. His offensive range is much larger than that of O'Neal.

Ignoring the defensive threats from the Lakers and other players, Wang Zelin went straight to the basketball and started to attack!

"Boom!"

After Wang Zelin and Ryan Kelly collided, relying on heavier tonnage and powerful force, they easily knocked the latter away. Before Pau Gasol came to help defend, an acceleration was turned and turned to the front of the basket, facing the defense The man took off and slammed the ball into the basket.

"boom!"

A loud noise made the Rose Garden Arena boil.

4:2, the Blazers lead at home.

"Back to defense!"

Turning around on the ground, Wang Zelin waved his hand and led his teammates back to the backcourt quickly.

Lakers coach Byron Scott shook his head helplessly.

He has no good way to deal with the league's strongest active center, who may even be another big killer in the penalty area after O'Neal.

Sure enough, in the rest of the first quarter, Wang Zelin faced Ryan Kelly inside many times to complete the offense.

Due to Pau Gasol's slow pace, the Lakers' zone defense was mediocre, allowing Wang Zelin's inside attack efficiency to remain as high as in previous games.

However, even when Wang Zelin scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, the Trail Blazers only led their opponents by 2 points in the first quarter.

It's something that many fans and viewers didn't expect.

"I really didn't expect that after switching to playing off the ball, Kobe's efficiency was so high. In the first quarter, he made 4 of 6 shots and scored 10 points, which almost offset the overwhelming king in the paint!"

"This fully reflects the Lakers' trust in Kobe's outside firepower. This is why the Lakers have been able to play against many strong teams this season, and even defeated several champion seed teams before!"

"The trend of this game is just as many media predicted before the game. The competition is about the ability of the stars. Now it depends on Kobe and King, who can last longer."

"..."

Yu Jia and Zhang Lili chatted one after another in the commentary booth.

The Trail Blazers bench, Coach Terry finally made a substitution adjustment after thinking about it for a while, and replaced Beverly with the main lineup.

He carefully looked at No. 24 on the opposite side, and thought to himself: I like running around so much, right? I'll attach a piece of brown candy to you later, and see how you run.

Soon after a timeout, the second quarter of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers officially began.

The players on the court are also rotation players of the two teams. The Trail Blazers are still confident. So far in the new season, except for the stage when the main players suffered injuries, they will basically not change the team's rotation pattern during the regular season!

As for the Lakers, it is also rare. Like the Trail Blazers, they have a five-up and five-down rotation.

On the one hand, because the scores of the two teams are now similar, the Lakers themselves feel that they can give more trust to the bench.

On the other hand, the sixth man of the Lakers, Nick Young, has played very well in the past few games. He has scored 20 points in two consecutive games. His outstanding performance has given the main players of the Lakers more rest time. .

However, facing the Trail Blazers' bench lineup today, Nick Young, who was a little bit flustered, was directly poured cold water on him!

Because of a little underestimation of the enemy, Nick Young made two three-pointers in the face of strong interference after a layup, but they all hit the iron.

Seeing that the opponent's rotation core is so cooperative, the other players of the Trail Blazers are also very face-saving. Under the leadership of the two veterans Garnett and Carter, the Blazers played a 6-0 spurt as soon as they came up.

Fortunately, Carlos Boozer, a veteran of the Lakers, was experienced and under tremendous pressure. Garnett successfully returned to the Blazers in the inside singles, and then woke up Nick Young who had been splashed with cold water.

Nick Young, who had recovered, quickly displayed his powerful chaotic combat ability.

As a chaotic master, the reason why Nick Young has been able to gain a foothold in the NBA for so many years is because of his singles skill package, sometimes once the touch comes, he even doesn't lose to some superstars at all.

With the third three-point shot, the rotation of the two teams began to play back and forth on the court. Even if it weren't for the Trail Blazers, if Lillard returned to the court in time, maybe Nick Young could really lead the Lakers The rotation has the upper hand.

At least, judging from the current situation, the strength of the Lakers is really not bad.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the current lineup of the Trail Blazers is still not complete. The absence of the team's second-in-chief Aldridge and the offensive and defensive leader of the back line Matthews still has a great impact on the overall strength of the Blazers.

After all, the Trail Blazers team in front of them is not really a complete body!

In the 8th minute of the second quarter, Lillard made a good kill at the basket, helping the Blazers get a 6-point lead.

There is a gap between the team led by the main force and the team without the main force, and the gap is gradually revealed.

At this time, Kobe stood up and volunteered, wanting to return to the game.

Byron Scott thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the Lakers put the starting lineup back on the court.

The Trail Blazers also made lineup adjustments. The difference from the first quarter was that the player at the top position became Beverly.

Kobe immediately understood that this was an adjustment made by the Blazers for himself.

However, he was only surprised. Words like fear and fear had never appeared in his dictionary.

Double-teaming, the Black Mamba has never been afraid!

On the court, the Lakers' offense.

Kobe began to move on both sides of the three-point line to find opportunities.

But this time, there was always someone chasing after him, sticking to him like a piece of brown sugar.

Seeing that Kobe did not show up for a long time, time was running out, and Rondo handed the ball to Pau Gasol inside to handle it.

Pau Gasol got the basketball, and the eyes of the fans in the entire Rose Garden Arena began to become dignified.

As the hero of the Lakers' two consecutive championships, Pau Gasol has long lost his reputation as a soft guy in the Grizzlies period. Trail Blazers fans know very well that the guy's strength is not necessarily inferior to Aldridge, and he is definitely the most powerful player in the league. One of the strongest power forwards.

At the same time, defending Pau Gasol is the rookie Jokic who is not known for his defense. They are worried that the white fat man from Serbia will not be able to defend the opponent.

After receiving the ball, Pau Gasol sat back hard, but he was surprised to find that he did not have much advantage in this confrontation.

It seems that the rookie of the Trail Blazers is really not bad.

However, as a senior in Europe, he felt that it was necessary for the young people behind him to see the strength of the seniors.

In the second shot, Pau Gasol continued to hit back, and Jokic deliberately took a step back, trying to win with a strange move.

But he forgot that **** is old and spicy after all.

Not only was Pau Gasol not fooled, but he turned around directly and shot from the back.

At this time, Jokic also knew that he had been tricked, but it was too late, and he could only watch the opponent take the shot.

"Shua!"

The basketball flew in the air for a while, and entered the frame at the sound.

At 44:40, the Lakers trailed by 4 points.

"well!"

There was a burst of lament on the sidelines, which made Yejiqi's face a little ugly.

"Rookie, if it's a man, call me back in a while!"

Batum stepped forward and slapped Jokic's big **** hard, making a loud noise.

Whoops, it feels good.

After retracting his hand, he muttered softly.

The Blazers attack.

"Give me!"

At the basket, Jokic yelled at Beverly with a ruthless face.

Beverly couldn't help but glance at Wang Zelin, who was serving the ball below, and saw that the latter nodded to him, and then passed the ball to Jokic.

Amid the cheers from the audience, Jokic took the ball and made an offensive move. As a future mvp player, although he is still relatively immature at this stage, his shoulder shaking can already be faked.

On the opposite side, Pau Gasol's defense at his peak can only be said to be average, not to mention that he has now entered the stage of a thirty-year-old man.

Just when Paul Gasol was hesitating, Jokic suddenly turned around and made a breakthrough. After Wang Zelin's scolding and strict weight loss, his figure became slimmer and his steps became more flexible.

Although this level of breakthrough was not enough for him to easily pass Pau Gasol, but he had an idea, shouldered Pau Gasol, and entered the penalty area.

Pau Gasol didn't expect this fat man to be so flexible and skilled in key skills. You know, he is still a first-year rookie!

Jokic rushed to the basket in one go, held the ball with both hands, and then took three steps to successfully attack the frame!

"Haha, a very powerful response! Maybe Pau Gasol didn't expect that the rookie Qiufeng of the Trail Blazers would be so tough."

The tnt commentary booth started, and Barkley patted his belly excitedly and laughed endlessly.

"Nice job Nicholas!"

Wang Zelin gave Jokic a thumbs up, and the latter responded with a smile.

Afterwards, amidst the frenetic atmosphere throughout the Rose Garden, the first half ended quickly.

At 53:48, the Blazers entered the second half with a 5-point lead.

For the Blazers, the highest scorer was Wang Zelin, who played a total of 16 minutes in the first half and scored a quasi double-double with 17 points and 9 rebounds.

The highest scorer on the Lakers side is naturally Kobe, who also played a total of 16 minutes in the first half and scored 15 points.

"As everyone expected, whether it is Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers or Kobe of the Lakers, the performances played in the first half were in line with our expected game state. Keep scoring to help the team.”

At halftime, Kenny Smith gave his opinion.

"At the same time, we have to admit that Wang and Kobe are well-deserved as the league's number one active center and active number one shooting guard."

Barkley next to him nodded in response.

"It's just that looking at it now, because the other players of the Lakers are even less powerful, at the end of the halftime, the Lakers are in a backward position." Kenny Smith continued.

"No, no, I still insist that the key to this game lies in the performance of the leading stars of the two sides. The difference is only five points. Whether it is for Wang or Kobe, it is a breeze. The difference between the two sides It's not big enough to be qualitative!"

Barkley sang a different tune.

Inside the home locker room ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Upon returning, Beverley stood up and apologized to Terry Stotts.

With high expectations, he actually did not do a good job of defending Kobe in the second half of the second quarter. Facing his defense, Kobe not only made 2 of 3 shots, but also made a foul on him.

This kind of performance is obviously not what the head coach wants to see.

However, Coach Terry also understands that when a superstar is in excellent form, it is basically difficult to be restricted.

What's more, the object that Beverly needs to defend tonight is "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant, so he didn't blame the coping too much.

Fortunately, on the Trail Blazers side, Wang Zelin, as the leading star, completed the task of competing with Kobe very well, and even gained the upper hand in the first half.

It's a big step, and it's time to fight again in the second half.
