NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 179 The Veteran Dances (4k Present)

"Is it so exciting at the beginning?"

"Paul was dunked by the king!"

"Wokao, have pity on me!"

"..."

On the other side of the ocean, China TV is broadcasting the Trail Blazers vs. Clippers game in real time.

While Wang Zelin ignited the fans with an alley-oop dunk in the opening game, countless basketball fans who were sitting in front of the TV watching the game were no exception, and felt the same way.

……

The players on the Blazers' bench couldn't help but stood up excitedly, even Coach Terry and the assistants on the coach's bench couldn't help standing up.

That's Paul!

Paul was dunked, this scene is rare!
After all, they are famous for their extremely high double quotient, and they rarely have the opportunity to be on the background board of the five best balls.

However, this time there was an exception.

The camera returns to Paul who was humiliated by Wang Zelin. The latter quickly got up from the ground and looked up. Wang Zelin, who was standing in front of him, left quite calmly.

A done deal, impotent rage won't solve the problem.

Compared to solving problems with fists, Paul prefers to prove himself on the court.

"It's really bearable!"

Wang Zelin looked at the back of No. 3 who was fading away with his hips crossed, and the corner of his mouth was slightly crooked.

He admitted that he underestimated these superstars.

After the Trail Blazers kicked off with an alley-oop, the Clippers responded quickly, not to be outdone.

Jordan deserves to be one of the top jumpers in the league. Wang Zelin even thinks that Jordan's running and jumping ability is by no means inferior to Howard's.

What's even more commendable is that Jordan doesn't pick and roll like Howard, on the contrary...

The quality of Jordan's screens is quite good, and it is definitely the first-class level among the league's inside players.

After being brought out many times, Jordan made Wang Zelin feel helpless with a dunk.

This guy belongs to loach, he is too good at drilling.

If Jordan and him meet again in the field, Wang Zelin is confident that he will rub his opponent on the ground with one hand.

But now that the two teams are playing fast break, Jordan's outstanding athletic ability advantages are clearly displayed.

In the next half quarter, Wang Zelin didn't attack much and focused on the defensive end.

After the half quarter, the two teams tied at 17:17.

The number of shots from both sides was 15 for the Blazers and 16 for the Clippers, with the former having a slightly higher shooting percentage.

In terms of rebounds, since he played a fast break, he took more shots and naturally rebounded more, with 14 rebounds in half a quarter.

The Blazers grabbed 8 and the Clippers grabbed 6, of which Wang Zelin grabbed 5 by himself.

Paul has been observing the changes in the Blazers. After realizing that the opponent's defensive center is on the outside, he didn't go inside much, but grabbed the organization.

Trail Blazers attack.

Wang Zelin asked for the ball in the low position on the right wing, and raised his left hand after getting stuck in Jordan.

The move lifted Lillard's spirits.

Brother, you finally remembered your identity as the main attacker.

"Snapped!"

"Clap!"

There was a loud sound of hitting the ball, and Wang Zelin arched inward after receiving the ball.

In terms of running and jumping, Wang Zelin thinks he is inferior to Jordan, but his strength...

"drink"

Griffin on the other side had just broken through Aldridge's entanglement, and when he was about to rush to the reasonable collision zone, Wang Zelin held the ball in both hands and stomped hard.

Attack of the Titans!

Griffin did not hesitate. Seeing Wang Zelin flying into the air with a ferocious expression, he jumped up instantly and raised his arms high.

It's a pity that it's a bit short!
and……

Power, I respect!

"Ahhh!"

The dull and rough collision, full of male hormones scattered around, Griffin was knocked in the air, surprised in his heart, a familiar scene flashed in his mind like lightning.

Do not!
I don't want to get hurt anymore!
It's just a ball, it's not enough!not!

Wang Zelin didn't know what Griffin was thinking, and he didn't want to. At this moment, the only thing he could see was the basket ring.

"drink!"

Accompanied by a violent shout, Wang Zelin straightened his waist and held the ball tightly with both hands, trying to smash it into the rim like a madman.

"Oh!"

Seeing Wang Zelin smash Griffin to complete the dunk, the cheers from the Rose Garden broke through the dimension again. Countless fans stood up spontaneously, opened their mouths wide, and waved their fists, venting to the outside world the adrenaline that was about to burst out of their bodies.

This hasn't been played yet...

"Di!"

The referee signaled that Griffin fouled the thug and Wang Zelin got an extra free throw.

"Dude, you're not far off!"

Wang Zelin squinted at Griffin who was in a daze, and murmured in a low voice.

Griffin didn't respond, just stood numbly on both sides of the free throw line.

"Shh!"

Penalty hit.

20: 17.

The Clippers attacked, and Griffin hit Aldridge in the left low post.

I have to admit that Griffin is indeed a fine group of people. He seized the moment when Aldridge's center of gravity shifted, completed his turn, and successfully put the basket.

20: 19.

The Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin continued to ask for the ball, but this time Griffin double-teamed suddenly, Wang Zelin lost the opportunity to attack and had to pass back to the outside.

"Snapped!"

Paul didn't know when he also defended the inside line, and successfully robbed the moment Wang Zelin hit the ball.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Paul made a gesture.

The fans opened up the space, and Paul got a chance that he didn't get in singles.

After taking a shot, Paul went straight to the basket, and Matthews turned around to defend without hesitation.

Paul was not greedy for credit, and with a cross pass, Qiu gave to Caron Butler.

The former All-Star small forward has come to the 10th year of his career. The peak period has long passed, and the Clippers rely on his good ability to catch and shoot the ball.

"Shh!"

Two points long and hollow into the frame, the Clippers went ahead by 1 point away.

The Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin received the ball from a high position, and Griffin double-teamed him once, but this time Wang Zelin was prepared, and with an idea, he made a wonderful pass to Aldridge for a layup.

"I won't hit the same trick twice!"

The Blazers returned to defense and the Clippers attacked.

Paul broke through Lillard from the left three-point line, but did not enter the penalty area immediately, but made a sudden stop after the breakthrough and paused.

His intention was to suck out Aldridge inside, and then Griffin was empty.

Aldridge did come out, and Paul's mid-range shot can also kill the game.

At least that's how the regular season goes...

Griffin immediately raised his hand, motioning for a pass.

At the moment when Aldridge came up, Paul turned around and didn't look at the pass. The basketball passed between Aldridge's feet, which caused the audience to exclaim.

Skilled people are bold!

After the basketball bounced off the floor, Griffin caught the ball and vacated it on the spot, and the heavy dunk of the four major journeys will appear in the Rose Garden Arena.

A large yellow hand appeared behind Griffin's head.

"careful!"

Paul reminded loudly.

"It's too late!"

Wang Zelin yelled violently and slapped him down.

"Snapped!"

The ball was nailed to the backboard, and Wang Zelin grabbed it directly.

"Quick attack!"

Off the court, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts shouted excitedly.

"call!"

Wang Zelin pierced the sky with a long pass, and Batum caught the ball in the middle circle and pushed forward frantically. McGrady's genius running and jumping ability was clearly displayed on him.

The old Caron Butler couldn't catch up, and his defense speed was not enough, so he finally watched Batum dunk.

The Trail Blazers lead came to 3 points.

Upon seeing this, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro.He glanced back at Matt Barnes on the bench.

Matt Barnes has been in the league for nearly 10 years, but compared to Caron Butler, who is more offensive, Matt Barnes is better at defense.

Perhaps, he can be put on the starting lineup.

Glancing at how little time is left at the end of the first quarter, Vinny Del Negro is determined to endure it. The point difference on the field is not too big, and Paul should be able to control the scene.

Just as Vinny Del Negro's thoughts were flying, the Blazers gradually boosted their morale.

With Wang Zelin on the inside, Lillard, Matthews, and Batum on the outside played very easily, always running out of space and throwing three-pointers frequently.

After the first quarter, the Blazers led the Clippers by 35 points at 27:8.

Seeing this, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro broke into a cold sweat.

He shouldn't have hesitated just now, no, the point difference is almost 10 points.

During the inter-section break, Vinny Del Negro quickly made personnel adjustments.

"Matt, you can replace Caron in the second quarter. I don't want to see No. 2 scoring so easily."

"And Chauncey, you can organize the attack later, is it okay?"

Everyone turned their attention to a black player wearing the No. 1 jersey.

This gentleman is the FMVP of the civilian Pistons' championship season and the well-known Mr. Chauncey Billups in the league with a big heart.

Due to injuries last season, Paul only played 60 games. In order to avoid a repeat of the tragedy, the Clippers management specially bid more than 200 million yuan to sign the veteran Billups from the free market.

Billups was reimbursed for the season due to a torn ankle last season, but he still scored 20 points, 30 assists and 14.9 rebounds in 4 games and 2 minutes of playing time, which still made many Clippers fans look forward to Billups' performance this season.

"Of course sir, thank you for your trust!"

Billups smiled back.

The perennial wandering career has allowed Billups to develop a tactful ability to deal with people. Although he played less than 30 games in the Clippers, he still became the boss of the team's locker room.

The second quarter came off the bench.

The Clippers are led by Billups, and the Trail Blazers are led by Mike Roberts. The strengths of both sides are obvious.

The former is on the outside, and the latter is on the inside.

"Mike, your task is very simple, guard the penalty area and maintain the point difference."

Before playing, Coach Terry expressed his request.

"Don't worry, coach, as long as the Clippers help the cubs dare to come in, I will definitely let them know the power of the Portland Hammer."

Mike Roberts bumped his fists together, and made a gesture of a white crane spreading its wings.

This action is naturally learned from Wang Zelin.

As we all know, being teammates with players from the Celestial Dynasty definitely has the same benefits.

This is especially true for Mike Roberts, who is recognized as Wang Zelin's number one younger brother.

Mike Roberts, a transparent man who has been in the league for six years, never imagined that he would one day become a commercial spokesperson.

The endorsed product is naturally from Tianchao. Although it is only an unknown small brand, it is already a surprise for Mike Roberts.

The white big man produced by Duke not only took the initiative to do the dirty work on his own when Wang Zelin was on the court at the same time, but also had a good ability to eat cakes. Coupled with his passionate playing style, he stood out from the Blazers' bench players and was affectionately called "the hammer!"

em~~~

This was the first nickname of Mike Roberts' career.

……

Back on the field.

The two sides dealt with it for a while, and in the end the Clippers' second team led by Billups had the upper hand in strategy.

In the 7th minute of the second quarter, the Clippers attacked.

The current score on the field is 43:41. Under the leadership of Billups, the Clippers narrowed the point difference to two points.

"Aren't you going to change the main force?"

4投4中、三分1中1拿到9分3助攻的比卢普斯深深的望了一眼开拓者队的休息区。

It seems that we have to add another fire!

The most important thing is that Billups can clearly feel that he feels hot tonight.

He has not experienced this feeling of giving and asking for a long time.

……

"Billups advanced beyond the three-point line. This goal is very important. If it is scored, the Clippers will tie the game."

"Although the substitute lineups on both sides played very well, I think everyone wants to see the contest of the main players. I just don't know whether Billups can force the Blazers to play in advance."

As Kenny Smith and Barkley communicated, Billups made his offensive choices.

He wants to come by himself!
Trail Blazers backup point guard Nolan Smith nervously looked at No. 1 of the Clippers in front of him.

Anyway, Billups is a giant who once set foot on the top of the NBA. Although he is old, his momentum can still overwhelm Nolan Smith.

"Left~right~"

"Maybe..."

Nolan Smith didn't have time to wipe off the big beads of sweat, and his eyes were fixed on Billups' shoulder.

Billups took the ball to the left side of the top arc, and Lamar Odom, who was traded from the Mavericks to Angel City, rushed to cover.

Nolan Smith was too nervous to dodge, and hit Odom's arms with his head, and Coach Terry's heart thumped on the sidelines.

"Oops!"

At the same time, Billups did not hesitate and made a decisive three-pointer...

Although Billups's three-point shots are far less than that of a top marksman like Curry, his three-point shooting rate is not as good as the latter.

But the more critical period, Billups will always be trustworthy.

Just like now.

"Shh!"

Billups scored his second three-pointer of the game to help the Clippers overtake the Trail Blazers by one point.

43: 44!

There was an uproar!
After landing, Billups spread his hands and looked at Nolan Smith pretending to be helpless.

"What the hell, why is my hand feeling so good? This three-pointer is too easy!"

Nolan Smith hated it, but he didn't know what to do.

"drop!"

The Blazers called a short timeout after serving.

Coach Terry finally couldn't sit still.

No one expected that the 33-year-old Billups would jump out to steal the show, scoring 100 points and 12 assists with a 3% shooting rate halfway through the second quarter. Those who didn't know thought Paul was leading the team!
What an international joke?
"King, come on?"

Pointing to the final step of the link, Coach Terry set his sights on Wang Zelin.

There is a saying that "good steel is used on the blade!"

In his heart, he was more inclined to play Wang Zelin in the second half, but Billups' state tonight always made him feel a little bit uneasy.

"no problem!"

Wang Zelin replied without changing his face, but his fiery eyes confirmed that he was always on the No. 1 Clippers player.

Billups, a veteran, used his outstanding performance to arouse the fighting spirit in Wang Zelin's heart.

How can the veteran still dance, how can he fall behind?

(PS: There are still two days left, and the internship will be over. The owed chapters will be returned slowly in the later period. It is really impossible to wait until the summer vacation at the end of the month. I will pay back slowly at home full-time. There are only 11 chapters...cough cough cough!)
　By the way, let’s chat again, Director Li really went crazy today. To describe it in one sentence: the Blazers lost, but Lillard didn’t lose!
　　Damn Lillard! ! !
