NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 174 Eight caps!
After halftime, 68:45.

The Trail Blazers widened the point difference to 23 points, and the game is getting closer and closer to a flowery situation.

In the second quarter, the Blazers continued to fire, scoring 35 points and completely dominating the game.

In the first half of the game, Wang Zelin contributed 17 points, 11 rebounds...7 blocks.

He broke the record for the most blocked shots in the first half of his career, and also broke the personal halftime blocked shot record in the history of the Trail Blazers.

The two teams returned to the locker room.

"Wang, your block count is likely to exceed 10 tonight!"

Aldridge and Wang Zelin clapped excitedly.

"That's thanks to the two hat-giving comrades on the opposite side..."

Wang Zelin raised his chin and looked at Jennings and Monta Ellis opposite.

"According to this trend, we can end the game in the third quarter."

"End the game?" Wang Zelin murmured.

I want to do more than that.

……

The Bradley Center is buzzing.

Of course.

Most of the discussion revolves around the incompetence of the Bucks players.

On the big screen at the scene, the wonderful shots of Wang Zelin's first half were played back from time to time.

Bucks locker room.

Jennings sat on the bench frowning, covered his head with a towel, and closed his eyes.

what should I do?
There is no doubt that Jennings' mentality is on the verge of collapse.

"The lineup for the second half..."

Bucks coach Scott Skiles struggled to deploy in the second half. Jennings pricked up his ears, but unexpectedly found that his name was not included in the lineup.

"Coach, what about me?"

"Do you think it is necessary to continue this game?"

"Why not? I won't give up until the last moment."

"But your performance on the court is not worthy of what you said!"

"I said, I will adjust!"

"..."

There was a heated argument in the locker room.

On one side is the team boss, on the other side is the team coach, and the other players neither stand nor sit for a while.

After a moment of confrontation, Scott Skiles waved his hand.

"it's up to you!"

Again, the NBA is different from the NCAA. Unless it is a head coach at the level of Phil Jackson, the general situation is based on the opinions of the stars.

Back at halftime, the game continued and the Bucks served from the baseline.

Surprisingly, after half a quarter, none of the Bucks' offenses were completed in the paint area... Wang Zelin's number of blocks has remained at 7 times.

"Bang!"

Jennings made another shot, and Wang Linlin got his 14th rebound tonight.

Jennings... it's over!
With the passage of time, the Bucks' decline not only did not stop, but became more serious.

Wang Zelin could clearly see that the light in Jennings' eyes was about to disappear.

82: 51.

The difference between the two teams came to 31 points.

Bucks coach Scott Skiles called a timeout. What Jennings didn't expect was that coach Scott, who had always been a mother-in-law, unexpectedly didn't blame himself.

But the anger in Zhan Ning Si heart is more exuberant however!
Without him, because Coach Scott looked at Jennings's eyes no longer with expectations as usual, but with disappointment, and the expression of disappointment was beyond words.

The haughty Jennings hates this look the most.

Because, it will make him feel like a FW!

Is he FW?
Obviously not!

He is not!
……

TNT live room.

"Thomas, tell me, how many points will the Blazers increase the point difference tonight?"

Reggie Miller picked up a piece of data and raised it with a playful look.

"44 points!"

Isiah Thomas, who has a very high dual quotient, naturally knew the meaning of Reggie Miller's words, and gave the answer very cooperatively.

"I bet 55 points!"

Reggie Miller speaks amazingly.

"Dude, are you serious?"

Isaiah Thomas played the role of fan.

"It really can't be more true!"

"Oh my God, you must be crazy."

Isaiah Thomas shook his head again and again.

In the hearts of fans, 58 is a magic number.

However, in the history of the NBA, 58 points is only the largest point difference in the playoffs, and it is not ranked at all for the regular season.

From modern basketball in 1985 to now, there have been three records of 60+ losses, namely:
1991 Heat 80-148 Cavaliers, 68 points in a loss

1998 Trail Blazers 59-124 Pacers, 65 points in loss

1991 Kings 91-153 Warriors, 62 points loss

The 55-point difference in Reggie Miller's mouth is "barely" able to rank No. 10 in the history of a single game in the regular season.

"Of course, I just said it's possible!"

In order to avoid being beaten when he went out after the game, Reggie Miller took the lead, saying that this was just the effect of the show.

……

The timeout is over and the game is back.

Jennings reached the edge of the three-point line and saw Lillard stepping forward, posing for a breakthrough.

Lillard quickly took a step back, but saw that Jennings did not rush in, but took a step back, and made a three-pointer...

"Mommy Fake!"

Monta Ellis next to him was speechless. He thought he was alone enough, but he didn't expect that Jennings was far better than himself.

"Shh!"

Jennings' wave shot successfully penetrated the net, and the surrounding teammates were stunned.

Could it be that this guy Jennings has done a lot of hard work, and his hand is coming.

Is it very Thai?

Although the shot selection of the pursuit is poor, if it goes in, it is a good shot.

At 82:54, the point difference narrowed to less than 30 points.

The Blazers attacked, and Wang Zelin came to the frontcourt and passed by Jennings.

"Soft egg!"

"What did you say?"

"I said you're a softie, you just know that you're like a tortoise, you can shrink to three points outside." Wang Zelin said coldly, "If you are deaf, I don't mind saying it again until you can hear clearly."

"you……"

The words came to his lips, but Jennings couldn't speak.

He has been blocked by Wang Zelin three times so far in the game, and he really feels a little afraid of being blocked.

Lillard dribbled the ball slowly at the top of the arc, facing Jennings, who is also known for his offensive strength and defensive weakness, without fear.

Aldridge took the initiative to come to help with the pick-and-roll, and he successfully broke through the Bucks' perimeter defense.

"Defense!"

Monta Ellis shouted slogans in vain, but his footsteps remained motionless.

It's already like this, the fighting spirit of the players has been worn down a long time ago, and it's still reluctant to mention the mental offense. It's a dream to want them to seriously defend.

Lillard took off in three steps from the free throw line, easily wiped the board and made a layup.

At 84:54, the point difference widened to 30.

"Coward, I'll wait for you to come in!"

Passed by again, and the trash talk couldn't come out of Wang Zelin's mouth again.

"Damn it!!!!"

Jennings was completely overwhelmed, went to the Trail Blazers position, continued to get rid of Lillard in disguise, and entered the paint area from the right wing.

After half a quarter, someone from the Bucks finally dared to challenge the paint area.

The spirit is commendable!

On the other side, Wang Zelin always had a heart for the paint area. Seeing Jennings' breakthrough action, he accelerated to move to the paint area with all his strength.

"I want to deduct one!"

Tonight's game was too depressing. Jennings desperately wanted to ignite the long-silent Bradley Center with a dunk. After taking off, he only had the basket in his eyes and didn't notice Wang Zelin's arrival at all.

"Brandon, watch out!"

Kevin Seraphim on the other side shouted anxiously.

"Snapped!"

The results were not surprising.

Just as Jennings was about to put the ball into the basket, a yellow arm appeared behind him and slammed down.

"OMG! The Trail Blazers got the 36th block on the 8th! Our basket was completely occupied by a powerful enemy, and our Warriors didn't show up for a long time. It's really terrible!"

The home commentator of the Bucks screamed in despair, and the tragic atmosphere spread to every corner of Bradley Center.

"Is there any hope for such a leading star?"

"Is there any hope for such a team?"

These two questions surfaced in the minds of many loyal Bucks fans.
