NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 691 It makes sense to hit the ball to the best guy!
Popular recommendation:
Following the referee's signal, the starters from both sides stepped onto the pitch.
The Blazers still use the regular lineup for this year's playoffs, Lillard + Matthews + Batum + Aldridge + Wang Zelin!
On the other hand, the Cavaliers made bold changes, sending a lineup of Irving + JR + Shumpert + James + Cousins!
They swapped out power forward TT and replaced Shumpert at the 3, creating a relatively undersized lineup.
This lineup has three-point ability in all five positions, and the intention is quite obvious. This is an ultimate offensive lineup.
Tonight is very likely to be the last game of the finals. Under the suggestion of the tactical genius Tyronn Lue, the Cavaliers plan to fight with the Blazers tonight, hoping to break out with a three-point sense and win this game.
After all, with Wang Zelin and Aldridge around, as long as they are both in shape, the role of TT's presence on the field is not only faster in assisting defense, but it is not very effective in single defense.
And if it's just about assisting defense, James, who really wants to launch a ruthless defense, even if his weight has dropped a bit compared to the Heat period, he is still stronger than TT on the whole.
"The lineup of the Cavaliers is very unreasonable!"
"You must know that Zelin's strongest is his unresolved dominance inside. How many teams can't wait to put a bus in the penalty area in order to reduce his lethality."
"But the Cavaliers went the opposite way and used a five-small lineup. I have a hunch that Zhelin's score tonight will be terrifying!"
In the on-site commentary, Zhang Gui suffered an occupational disease and switched to Zhang Lili mode, which is very familiar to domestic fans.
In his opinion, the pure self-defeating behavior of the knight!
If you want to win the game with your gambling touch, you will most likely be beaten by Wang Zelin.
As the referee threw the ball high, the result was no suspense.
Wang Zelin won the jump ball with just a light jump, and the Blazers launched the first attack.
After Lillard advanced to the half court, he handed the ball to Wang Zelin. The Blazers started this game from the inside.
Behind him was Cousins topping the defense, and Wang Zelin opened the defense with ease, without giving James a chance to help defend, he easily hooked the ball and scored the opening score for the Trail Blazers.
At 2:0, there was a burst of cheers in the entire Rose Garden Arena. In the opening stage, Wang Zelin's offensive desire was very sufficient.
"This time Cousins tried his best, but there was no way! No way, who made the king so powerful! This is a stage for superstars. Next, we will see if the Cavaliers can stand up and talk to the king."
On the commentary stand, Yu Jia excitedly pointed the way to the Cavaliers defense.
Turning back, the knights attacked.
James took the cover of his teammates, made an emergency stop jumper, and hit the shot.
2:2, after the two teams came up, the core of the team took the lead in scoring, and the smell of gunpowder in the game gradually became stronger.
However, the two did not have a head-to-head confrontation. Wang Zelin did not take the initiative to guard James, and James did not trouble Wang Zelin, but kept getting points through pick-and-rolls.
Trail Blazers attack.
Wang Zelin received the ball again from a low position, and his back continued to exert force, causing Cousins to retreat again and again, and then his body kept shaking.
After swinging out of a position, Wang Zelin did not make too many bells and whistles, and squeezed into the inside line directly against Cousins' body.
Although Cousins gritted his teeth and fought hard to resist, in the face of the absolute power gap, hard work had no effect.
"Peng!"
After another vigorous collision, Wang Zelin had already made his way in, and the inside line was only one step away from the basket.
And at this distance, Wang Zelin is invincible under the basket!
"boom!"
Using his right foot, he jumped high and dunked vigorously towards the basket with one hand.
4:2.
The generals of the Cavaliers were psychologically prepared for this. James quickly rushed to the front court after receiving the ball, launched a fast-break counterattack, and while Wang Zelin had not returned to the defense in place, facing Batum’s defense, he carried someone to the basket. .
"Shh!"
A beautiful turn hook hit the board, hollow into the net.
4:4, tied again.
Back to the Blazers offense.
Wang Zelin continued to play Cousins in the low post, and hitting him was as simple as crossing the road in the morning.
In fact, there was no excessive praise in this game. It was only when Wang Zelin entered the inside line that he played a certain amount of defense.
Because they have found through the first four games, the double team is completely useless.
Instead, it is better to save physical strength and concentrate output on the offensive end.
Here, Wang Zelin smashed the ball vigorously, turned around and entered the inner line. After reaching the penalty area, a beautiful hand dunked vigorously, adding two more points.
6:4!
This is a typical O'Neal-style offense, and the fans in the audience were excited to see No. 36 of the Trail Blazers twisting his huge body with his hands on the basket.
At this time, O'Neal on the sidelines still stood up. Whenever he saw Wang Zelin's abuse of baskets on the court, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
He couldn't help but think of the running under the sunset that day, that was his lost youth!
"It's reasonable for the Blazers to play like this. Give the ball to the best player and let him play alone. Very good tactic!"
"Some people always say that with such a lineup, the Blazers can win the championship even with a dog on a leash. This is too underestimated by Coach Terry Stotts. In my opinion, he is a super Top level coach!"
"I think his coaching philosophy is correct. How can it not be a tactic to give the ball to the best person? This is obviously very reasonable!"
In the commentary booth, Zhang Lili continued to talk freely. It could be seen that he was very excited today. His words were obviously better than in previous games. The blurring of various classic quotes also made many fans feel very cordial.
This is what I want!
Switching offense and defense, the Cavaliers plan to repeat the old trick and grab another fast break.
This time it was Irving who moved fast.
After he strode into the inside line, he turned around in front of Lillard's defense and made a layup in the air!
Unfortunately, Wang Zelin, who had a hunch, had already made all the preparations in advance.
"Snapped!
! "
Jumping high, the whole person covered the sky and the sun, and a big hat flew the ball fan directly out of the sideline, all the way to the front row of audience seats.
"Oh **** ho ho, beautiful big hat!"
"The offense has no solution! The defense is equally incomprehensible! Unparalleled dominance!"
"Poor Kyrie Irving~www.mtlnovel.com~ He is really hard. This year's trip to the finals is even more difficult for him than when young Jens was swept in 2007!"
"Little guy, the ball doesn't hit like this!"
On the TNT commentary, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were excited to talk to each other.
There is a meaning inside and outside the words: the old king has passed away, and the new king should stand!
James, who has just turned 30 this year, is still the most watched star and is still at the peak of his career, but a new generation of stars led by Wang Zelin is ready to take over the league.
And this year's playoffs are their party!
Especially the western side is the most obvious. The three young people Wang, Ku, and Ha have replaced the older generation Ke, Deng, and Nuo.
If it wasn't for this year's Thunder's leading star Durant accidentally falling behind, which led to the Thunder's passive playoffs, if it develops according to the normal script, it is estimated that the trend of replacement in the playoffs this year will become more and more obvious.
Perhaps, another wave of new and old reshuffles in the NBA has begun!
...
The rhythm of the game on the field was fast, and the first quarter ended.
The Trail Blazers temporarily led by 5 points with 38:33.
You and I are constantly scoring points on both sides. Tonight, the entire Cavaliers performed very well and had a good feel. They did not fall behind the Blazers too much on the offensive end.
This gives people a new understanding of the strength of the Cavaliers, the Eastern Conference champion this year: this Cavaliers is definitely not weak!
However, the opposing Portland Corps is stronger!
To be precise, their leader is too clueless!
