NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 723 Kill the line of defense
The pre-match preparation time passed quickly, and at 7:58, players from both sides entered the field.
When entering the stadium, the two teams exchanged greetings. As opponents in the international arena, Wang Zelin and Pau Gasol had a bit of sympathy for each other, and then Aldridge and Randolph also chatted a few words. Blow the bragging.
The scene of the four men standing together, the live TV footage gave a close-up, and on the court stage, Zhang Lili, who was in charge of the commentary tonight, said with emotion:
"The Grizzlies with a black and white bear combination should be among the major teams in active duty, and one of the few teams that can put pressure on Zelin on the inside. Tonight's contest between the two sides can be called a battle of meat grinders... "
These remarks aroused countless emotions.
After the greeting, Wang Zelin focused his attention on the game.
“Marc Gasol rated 88, Mike Conley rated 84, Tony Allen rated 74, OD 93, Zach Randolph rated 76…”
Here are the four best Grizzlies players, the others Matt Barnes, Jeff Green, Benno Udry, Brandon Wright, JayMichael Green, Janelle Stowe Cox and Russ Smith are all functional players, with ratings between 60 and 75.
Rotten Tofu's 76-point ability score surprised Wang Zelin. I remember that when we played against each other at the end of last season, the guy's ability score was still at the quasi-All-Star level of 80. As a result, one summer...
Well, seeing that Rotten Tofu is now several times rounder than last season, and at the same time is a year older, he can probably understand why that guy's ability has dropped so much.
beep~~~
As the referee whistle sounded, both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle.
"There is no doubt that the biggest highlight of today's game is: Wang Zelin and Marc Gasol, who will be the first team hero to defeat the opponent's defense!"
Between the words of the commentator on the sidelines, the two teams jumped the ball over!
Wang Zelin took the lead in putting the ball into Lillard's hands.
The Portland Trail Blazers dominated the offensive possession of the opening first play.
Lillard held the ball steadily through the half court, and the rest of the players were fully skilled in pick-and-roll cooperation.
In the end, Wang Zelin received the pass from Lillard and scored a layup.
On the other side, the Grizzlies made the first attack, Randolph missed the iron, and the rebound was taken by Wang Zelin.
Coming to the offensive end, Wang Zelin used his skillful footwork + sky hook in the middle distance to score two points steadily!
4:0, as soon as the Blazers came on the court, Wang Zelin blew the horn of attack!
"Guys, cheer up!"
Mike Conley yelled at his teammates while holding the ball: "We Grizzlies are not vegetarian!"
Putting those words down, Conley suddenly got up from beyond the three-point line and swept in for a three-pointer.
3:4, although the home team's offense was fierce in the opening game, Conley, who is the core of the Grizzlies and who has refreshed the largest contract in NBA history, will never disappoint.
Conley's response was very straightforward, and his 3-pointer also sounded the Grizzlies' counterattack horn.
In the transition from offense to defense, the Blazers are still surrounded, and Wang Zelin, the absolute strength of the inside line, will make tactical arrangements.
Wang Zelin's various hooks and footsteps in the low post showed his offensive arsenal to the fullest.
As another center scoring leader besides O'Neal in the new century, Wang Zelin is also not a vegetarian. He has a good interpretation of what scoring is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
On the other side, Conley and Pau Gasol are also in full swing.
Although they are playing away from home and are under a lot of pressure, they still want to prove their strength and get the first blood of the defending champions in the new season.
The Grizzlies attacked, Conley organized the frontcourt, and Barnes ran out without the ball to catch the ball and hit a mid-range shot.
I have to admit that there are always some players. Although they have not won too many personal honors in their lives, and have never even seen an All-Star, their strength is no less than that of an All-Star.
Mike Conley is one of them!
The Blazers' offense was supported by Wang Zelin at a high position. Lillard cut the ball and met an offer, and gave the ball to Wang Zelin at the free throw line.
Wang Zelin encountered an assist defense, and after making a move, the golden rooster became independent in the middle distance and shot two points against the defender.
The Grizzlies did a good job in the defensive rotation of the ball. Randolph pounced on Wang Zelin, but the height difference between the two was too large, making it difficult for him to interfere with Wang Zelin.
"Shh!"
The basketball bounced into the net, and the Blazers scored two more points.
15:10, came to the official suspension time.
In the past half of the season, Wang Zelin alone scored 10 points for the team, and the offensive firepower is so strong.
There were constant cheers at the scene. Facing a top defensive team like the Grizzlies, Wang Zelin was able to maintain a super high offensive efficiency while taking into account production.
Pause back, Grizzlies' ball possession.
"To Mark!"
On the sidelines, Grizzlies coach Dave Joger roared loudly.
Now the team urgently needs to stabilize the situation, and as the team leader, Marc Gasol is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Little Gasol wanted to enter the basket to catch the ball, but Wang Zelin held him outside and couldn't get in.
He wanted to go around again, but Wang Zelin turned and moved faster than him, wasting five or six seconds and couldn't go around.
Fortunately, he has now developed a good mid-range shot, and his attacking range is not as narrow as that of a traditional center.
After receiving the ball, he immediately swayed left and right, preparing to shake Wang Zelin before turning around and making a close-range jumper. This is his usual offensive method.
But just as he swung up, a big hand suddenly clicked on his ball, and the ball dropped.
As soon as Wang Zelin knocked down the ball, he immediately grabbed it from the side, grabbed the ball with Pau Gasol, and then it was time to fight for strength.
When it comes to fighting strength, there is really no one in active duty who is his opponent. The terrifying strength of the upper and lower limbs up to 99 is not practiced in vain, and after integrating Zhang Dashuai's physical quality, whether it is speed, agility, or explosive power, all have A huge improvement, this kind of similar grounding, he made an accurate one.
"Beautiful! Wang steals Marc Gasol. As the NBA's No. 1 center, he is using his strength to tell his opponents 'Hey, man, the gap between you and me is beyond your imagination!'"
The home announcer couldn't help shouting.
The Blazers hurry down, and Wang Zelin takes the lead.
Now the Grizzlies' lineup on the court can catch up with Wang Zelin's physique and not as strong as him, and the speed that can give him physical confrontation can't keep up with him. In the end, the Grizzlies can only watch Wang Zelin kill to the basket.
Lillard was in front, and when he looked back, Wang Zelin rushed in, threw the ball to the backboard, and bounced into the air.
"boom!"
Wang Zelin jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and slammed into the basket with both arms. A super heavy dunk made the Rose Garden boil.
"Oh hoo!"
The audience cheered and thundered.
The home announcer shouted excitedly: "In front of Wang, Gasol is still too weak, there is no comparison between the two! The Grizzlies' defense was smashed by him alone!"
Soon, after the first quarter, at 27:18, the Blazers led the Grizzlies by 9 points.
