NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 680 Old man Zhan is absolutely on drugs today?

In the locker room before the game, players from both teams are making final preparations for the game.

As the defending champion and the Blazers playing at home, they are obviously more confident than the Cavaliers. Everyone is doing their own thing in an orderly manner, except... Nikola Jokic!

As the only rookie in the team this year, Jokic's mentality in the initial stage will be nervous every time he steps to a higher level after the playoffs.

This is normal. Except for very few rookies who debuted in six-soul outfits and holding full-level numbers, or some older rookies with a mature mentality, Jokic's current mentality is actually that of most NBA rookies. The way to go.

What's more, Jokic's rookie year, as an important rotation member of the defending champion team, has entered the finals hall that countless NBA superstars can't reach in their careers!

To say that you are not nervous would be a lie.

Fortunately, the Blazers are a team with an excellent atmosphere in the team, and they are also a young team. The enlightenment of the veteran and the encouragement of young players such as Wang Zelin made Jokic's mentality quickly stabilized.

Jokic fully understands how important tonight's game is to his future career. If he can play some highlights, it may directly help his entire career development.

Therefore, he is both nervous and excited now, but as a future MVP player, Jokic naturally has potential that ordinary players do not have, such as... desire!

Strong desire for victory!

All the difficulties and obstacles will not make Jokic decadent, but will only make him become a strong man faster than the other self in the original time and space!

Wang Zelin, who was sitting opposite, saw Jokic regained his composure and confidence with the help of the team. He smiled and nodded, and even the corners of his mouth rose slightly inadvertently.

This is the mentality one should have in order to be strong.

the other side.

Sitting in the visiting team's locker room at the Rose Garden Arena, everything in front of James is extremely familiar, as if it were his away game.

After all, in the summer of June last year, he also stayed in this place, but that journey did not leave him any good memories, and some were just failures and humiliation.

But tonight, he will take back what he lost with his own hands.

"Everyone is ready, I need you to play the toughest attitude as soon as you play, this is the most difficult place in the league to conquer, so we must seize the opportunity as soon as we play!"

Cavaliers coach David Blatt is doing pre-game mobilization, but the effect does not seem to be obvious.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this time, the team's first assistant coach Tyron Lu stood up.

"When you came in just now, everyone should have seen the two championship flags hanging high above the Rose Garden Arena, right? Now please think about it in your mind, if such flags can also be hung in our home court, What a beautiful thing it must be!"

"The last time Cleveland won a sporting event was in 1964! Half a century later, the city needs to be reborn! There are things that need some people to do and will never be done until now!"

"So, for Cleveland's sake, come on!

! "

Tyronn Lu, who is under the tutelage of Doc Rivers, uses the experience of later generations to explain what is better than the blue, even if it is still a little immature, but compared with Blatt's light shouting slogans, obviously players eat him more this set.

Especially James, the son of Akron who was born and raised in Cleveland, Tyron Lu's words struck him like a hammer in an instant.

At this moment, he is like a top-level supercar loaded with fuel. As soon as the starting gun is fired, he will go out with maximum horsepower!

After Coach Lu finished shouting, the Cavaliers players walked out of the locker room angrily.

On the surface, he did nothing wrong, he did everything for the good of the team. But Blatter, who is the coach, blushed at this moment, and could only stick to the spot in embarrassment...

When the Cavaliers came out to warm up, they found that the Blazers had already pitched on the court.

Take a deep breath of the autumn air of the rose garden. There is no change here and last year. The smell of gunpowder in the air is still strong. Just a little spark, the entire arena will be completely blasted.

"Hello everyone, this is ESPN Sports TV, and today will have your old friends Kevin Harlan/Hubby Brown bringing you a live broadcast of this finals graduation."

As time went on, more and more fans poured into the ball. Two famous all-meter commentators, Kevin Allan and the old-fashioned Hubie Brown, were already in place at the commentary, and they were fortunate to be the end of the finals again. combination.

"Everyone in front of the TV, hello everyone, this is the sports channel of the court TV, I'm Zhang Weiping/Sun Zhengping, come on today, we will bring you the live commentary of the first game of the finals."

On the Chaotiantai side, the Shuangping combination of Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping was dispatched.

From the acquaintance in 1975 to the present, to the first cooperation in the NBA All-Star Game in San Antonio in 1996, the Shuangping combination made its first appearance on the screen and has cooperated sincerely for more than ten years. It has accompanied the growth of generations of basketball fans. When the voice sounded, there would always be some old fans who couldn't help crying with emotion.

In addition to being moved, the two also contributed to the famous scene of "Battier hits 8 out of 6 shots, right", which is ironic.

...

"Beep!"

As soon as the whistle blew, Wang Zelin put the ball back to half court, and the finals officially kicked off.

Lillard held the ball, and after Wang Zelin fell to the low post, he hoisted the ball in.

The Trail Blazers, as expected, played inside first.

The Cavaliers also did not double-team, but first let Cousins ​​defend one alone to see the effect.

Today, Wang Zelin's weight has reached 135 kilograms, making him the heaviest starting center in the league, and Cousins, who is 129 kilograms in front of him in second place.

In the offseason of the past two seasons, Cousins, who has been gaining weight, has slowed down his reaction speed, but the confrontation has actually increased.

It's worth it.

Wang Zelin pushed Cousins ​​twice, but he did not push Cousins ​​for a while. Although he only used 80% of his strength, it was amazing enough.

This gave the Cavaliers a big surprise.

However, Wang Zelin is not a pure power center. Under the wild surface, he also has the most abundant inside skills in the league, and he can take advantage of the situation with an outside hook after turning around.

Cousins ​​could only stare at the ball and sigh.

"Shh!"

The sky hook hit, Wang Zelin showed his soft touch and sent the ball into the basket steadily.

2:0!

Trail Blazers come out on top!

Although it was not possible to perform a brutal cut-and-dunk performance at the beginning as usual, as long as the ball fell into Wang Zhilin's hands smoothly, all Blazers fans would feel inexplicable peace of mind.

And this is the value of MVP.

On the Cavaliers' offense, Irving took the ball to the frontcourt.

At this moment, Terry Stotts, who was on the sideline bench of the Blazers, suddenly stood up.

Because there was a very surprising scene on the court, on the Cavaliers side, Irving actually chose to play with James as soon as he came up, instead of making a few dribbles for seven or eight seconds as usual, and then playing the ball.

In fact, regardless of Irving playing the No. 1 position and James playing the No. 3 position, Irving's assist rate per game is only 24%, far less than James' 38.6%.

Coach Terry turned his eyes and looked up at the direction of the Blazers' basket. A dark blue jersey, yellow armguards and white boots, No. 23 jersey, suddenly appeared in the sky.

who? LeBron James!

I saw James jumping high, almost flat frame to catch the pass, and then pour the ball into the basket with one hand.

"boom!"

There was a thunderclap on the ground.

2:2, the two sides tied.

In the Blazers' offense, Wang Zelin and Lillard played a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Lillard faced Cousins' throw.

The ball didn't score, but Cousins ​​didn't have time to shrink the basket. After Wang Zelin grabbed the offensive rebound, he scored a second offense dunk.

small book booth

4:0!

The cheers at the scene shook, and Zhang Manyuan stood up and applauded Wang Zelin's performance.

The Blazers' offense started off perfectly.

On the Lakers' bench, Blatt frowned slightly.

Judging from the defense of the opposing team's two attacking teams, Cousins ​​was too slow to keep up with Wang Zelin, and he couldn't guard Lillard after the dislocation.

Don't look at Lillard's failure to score, but people dare to shoot when facing Cousins, and they did find an opportunity. The failure to score can be attributed to poor feel, but it is impossible for people to miss the ball.

But fortunately, James was in excellent condition today. He quickly advanced from offense and defense to fast break. He encountered Aldridge's defense and still successfully tied the ball.

4:4, the two sides tied again.

After scoring, James bent his right arm and slapped the strong biceps of his right arm with his left hand, which was one of his usual celebrations.

Oh, old man Zhan is very excited today!

Wang Zelin was a little surprised when he looked at James who was retreating.

As for his name~www.mtlnovel.com~ Why did he change from Brother Zhan to Old Man Zhan?

The reason is very simple, because when he was introduced today, he remembered that James, who was born at the end of 1984, has turned 30 this season.

Calling him a thirty-year-old man in the future is no longer a joke.

After the ball, the Blazers continued to attack.

Continue to play the pick-and-roll, but this time from the outside. Irving failed to keep up with Batum after dislocation. Batum took the ball and made a decisive long shot.

"Bang!"

Some regrets, three-point strike.

What the hell! Where did the **** rat come from?

In the short corner on the right, Wang Zelin turned his head and was about to rush for a rebound, but found a figure suddenly sprang from the basket, jumped high, grabbed the rebound on the heads of two 2.1 meters long, and quickly launched a fast break after landing.

Old Zhan, why is it you again?

I'm 30, and I can still dance.

Seeing that No. 23, who was wearing the dark blue away jersey, had launched a sprint, Wang Zelin knew that the ball could not be caught, so he simply stopped in place, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"boom!"

A few seconds later, there was a loud noise from the Blazers' basket, and James succeeded in a one-stop fast break and dunk.

At 6:4, the Cavaliers took the lead.

In the sky above the arena, on the large LED screen, he played his tomahawk dunk over and over again.

Although it is an enemy tonight, I have to say that James's actual dunk is indeed a must in the league!

Wang Zelin admires James from the bottom of his heart. He deserves to be a rookie who still has "no progress" since his debut. Nine points of ridicule, very great!

But then again, seeing James, who was not blushing or panting when he saw fast break points and retreats...

Mr. Wang: "I want to report the referee, that guy is absolutely on drugs today!"

He is so big, why can he run so fast? Still jumping that high?

It's not scientific at all!
