NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 131 Christmas Eve at Staples
The schedule for the Christmas War is as follows:

Thunder VS Heat at home!

Nuggets VS Clippers at home!

Nets VS Celtics at home!

Knicks VS Lakers at home!

Trail Blazers VS Spurs at home!

There are five games in total.

Bald Hua carefully observed David Stern's face from the side.

After a long time, David Stern passed on the draft, and after everyone read it, he asked, "What do you think of this arrangement?"

Stu Jackson, one of the vice presidents of the NBA, took the draft and looked left and right, and said a little depressed: "Adam's draft is not a big problem."

Last year's championship and runner-up battle, the battle of the largest cities in the east and west of the United States, and the battle between old and new powerhouses, all of which were considered by Bald Touhua.

Seeing that his old opponent had nothing to say, Bald Hua smiled brighter.

"The draft is really good, but there is still a little flaw," David Stern looked at the bald head, and then said, "Adam, this game between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs, I think it is necessary to change it to the Blazers Hit the Lakers."

Baldhead Hua felt a little upset, but on the surface he still pretended to be a good student, asking for advice modestly: "Oh, why?"

"Judging from recent game reports and team strength predictions, the Spurs and Trail Blazers are obviously not on the same level of teams. Forcing them to play a game is very likely to become a one-sided crush like last time. In that case , the game will become dull, I'm sorry for the ticket price of the fans, and it will also affect the ratings."

"It's different with the Lakers. Regardless of the poor record of the Lakers, as long as the No. 24 makes a splash, there may be unexpected surprises, and... the contest between the league's number one center and the new generation's number one center , there must be many fans who are already eager to try."

"Also, the game between the Lakers and the Blazers is at Staples, there is no need to go to the Rose Garden..."

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements."

Baldhead Hua nodded.

……

The game with the garbled team has come to the fourth quarter, and the score between the two teams is 61:57.

In this game, neither side feels very good. The overall shooting percentage of both sides has just passed 30%, and it is not bad to score more than 90 after the game.

The intermission is over, return to the court, the Blazers have the initiative.

First, Lillard assisted Batum to hit a three-pointer, and then Wang Zelin missed a strong attack at the basket, causing the opponent's defensive foul.

Made two free throws.

66: 57.

As soon as the Blazers came back and scored 5 points in a row, they were stunned.

The core of the Garbled team is now Zhu Holiday. Except for the former slam dunk king Jason Richardson, the rest of the starting players are a group of young people in their 24s and [-]s.

Once the mentality collapsed, the ball naturally became more and more broken, and he failed to play well several times.

When Wang Zelin played two consecutive singles in the low post, he helped the team further expand the score.

Sometimes he was thinking, it would be great if Aldridge could come back a few games later, Wang Zelin found that he began to like the feeling of pursuing good data.

Just like a drug, you can't stop it!
In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the two sides scored 84:71, and the score remained at around 10 points.

Garbled team coach Doug Collins directly replaced the main force, and the two teams began to compete for the substitute lineup.

In the past, the Trail Blazers' bench lineup was the hardest hit area for losing points. It is no exaggeration to say that the Blazers are now averaging about [-] points per game, and at least [-]% of the points lost are due to the weakness of the bench lineup.

It's different now. Although Mike Roberts' scoring is not as good as Hickson's, but the defense is much better. Under his leadership, the Blazers' bench lineup has played back and forth with their opponents.

In the end, the Blazers defeated the Garbled Team 89:76 and successfully defended the home court. The team's record became 20 wins and 5 losses, still ranking third in the Western Conference, following the Spurs and Thunder.

……

At noon on the 22nd, the NBA officially announced the list of best players for the Eastern and Western Weeks from December 12th to 16nd.

This week, the Trail Blazers won 3 games in 3 games, and Wang Zelin continued to be the best player of the week with his outstanding performance.

So far, Wang Zelin's best times of the week have also come to three times, equal to Aldridge, and tied for the first among the active players of the Blazers.

For Wang Zelin today, the mere Zhou Best is no longer in his heart.

……

After the garbled team rested for a long time, the Trail Blazers ushered in a back-to-back game at home against the Kings.

In the same division, the Trail Blazers and the Kings have five games this season, and there are two games left after this one.

Although it is back-to-back, the difficulty factor of this game refers to the garbled team in the previous game. It can be regarded as one of the relatively easy games for the Trail Blazers in December.

93: 72!

The Trail Blazers' 21-point gap beat the Kings to the ground.

Cousins ​​still performed well in this game, scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds on 25 of 11 shots.

I don't know if it's because of Wang Zelin, Cousins ​​is always excited every time he plays against the Trail Blazers, and he can often perform slightly higher than the current career average data.

This season, Cousins ​​averaged 17 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. All data have declined compared to last season.

However, the overall shooting percentage has increased a lot. Among them, the field goal percentage has increased by 2%, the free throw percentage has increased by 3%, and the three-point percentage has also increased by 4%.

It can be seen that Cousins ​​is getting closer and closer to his peak period.

Cousins ​​played very well, Wang Zelin played not badly, and was not affected by back-to-back games.

20 points, 13 rebounds, and a win.

The latter is what matters.

……

In the Western festival system, Christmas is undoubtedly the most important thing, which is equivalent to the Chinese New Year.

Under David Stern's vigorous promotion, the NBA's Christmas game has become a gluttonous feast in the hearts of American fans.

This is like watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival.

Wang Zelin is from the Celestial Dynasty and expresses his indifference to Christmas.

However, Reyna takes the holiday very seriously, and the two are preparing for an unforgettable Christmas night.

Even all kinds of clothes were prepared, but a piece of news broke Wang Zelin's infinite reverie.

On the afternoon of the 25th, Wang Zelin was doing shooting training on the court, and the coaching staff suddenly held a team meeting.

"Boys, here's your chance to show your face."

Coach Terry blushed and introduced the latest official NBA news to everyone.

The 2012~13 season NBA Christmas game kicked off!

On the 26th, the official arranged five Christmas battles.

Thunder VS Heat at home!
Nuggets...

Lakers VS Trail Blazers at home!

This arrangement was beyond the expectations of many people, but looking back on the performance of the Blazers this season, it seems that it is not unacceptable.

Originally, Aldridge and others were ready to spend a happy Christmas night with their families, but the league came out.

The last time the Trail Blazers were scheduled to play on Christmas Eve was three or four years ago.

The sudden Christmas battle disrupted everyone's deployment, and then everyone's emotions became extremely high.

That was the Christmas War!

The heavyweight game that the vast majority of basketball fans around the world are paying close attention to!
The young guys on the Trail Blazers couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like to be at the Staples Center tomorrow night.

　The train is late, and it’s already past 9 o’clock when we arrive at school. First, we need to code a chapter 2K to stabilize the full attendance. Now I’m still a little groggy, and I’m not in a good state. I won’t stay up late tonight. Get up early tomorrow and try to get a code at noon. A chapter is out.
