NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 319 When the Splash Blooms

(Ah, it looks like I got the title wrong again, it should be chapter 316, shit!)

An hour before the start of the game, the Oracle Arena, home of the Golden State Warriors, was packed.

The game at 7:30 in the evening is a full-meter live broadcast, because there are too many things to watch in this game.

Warriors main point guard Stephen Curry, who just reached a contract with the Golden State Warriors champion last season, has completed a gorgeous transformation this season.

First of all, various statistics have improved to varying degrees compared with the rookie contract year, especially the scoring item. The average of 24 points per game is a career high, which is infinitely close to the league's top scorers with an average of 25+ points per game.

24 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.6 steals-Curry's current performance this season.

The biggest change brought about by the good performance is that during the first round of voting of the All-Star voting mechanism, Curry's number of votes was second only to Kobe in the Western Conference guard vote. The current cumulative votes are 1, ranking second in the Western Conference backcourt.

Of course, this is also related to Curry's outstanding performance this season.

勇士队本赛季第4场打75人队时，他就拿到了18分12次助攻和10个篮板的三双数据，另外贡献了5次抢断……

This baby-faced killer ushered in a year of career growth!
The Warriors are currently ranked fifth in the West, and the outside world just regards them as a "just changed core" ordinary playoff seeded team.

Other players, including the Blazers, think so too.

However, Wang Zelin dare not take it lightly, because this team has created too many miracles in the future and brought too much shock to the fans.

No one would have thought that Stephen Curry, with his baby face, would become the greatest point guard since the new century!
Even when ranking the NBA's historical status in the future, Curry, who has not yet retired, has reached the level of sitting second to third, second only to NBA point guard No. 1 "Magic" Irvin Johnson in history.

To some extent, Curry's appearance has epoch-making significance, and the Golden State Warriors he led also has epoch-making significance.

After all, this is the first team to break the law that "jump shooting teams can't win NBA championships".

Players from both sides have entered the field and are warming up.

Wang Zelin, Curry, Aldridge, Lillard, and David Lee appeared on the big screen from time to time.Because all five of them are players with a higher number of votes in the first round of the All-Star voting, they are very likely to participate in this year's New Orleans All-Star Game.

2013~2014赛季， NBA全明星第1轮投票的截止日期是12月13号，距离首轮结果出炉的时间还有半个月。

可就在今天下午3:00时， NBA官方更新了当天球员得票数，王泽林成为了第1个选票数超过50万的球员。第二的勒布朗詹姆斯才刚刚达到39万选票，王泽林比詹姆斯整整多出了11万选票……

As we all know, the development law of the All-Star voting is fierce in the early stage, and tends to be flat in the middle and late stages. The stage where players get the most votes is basically concentrated in the first round.

This is why, in the original time and space, the number of votes that James received in the first round has exceeded 60. After the next three people came down, the total votes only stayed at 141 million, which is far away from the 200 million mark.

Judging from the current trend, the number of votes that Wang Zelin received in the first round is very likely to exceed 100 million... The first-round voter is waving to him!

No, it should be said that the All-Star ticket king was locked in advance.

Back on the field, take a brief look at the lineups of both sides.

In terms of lineup, the Trail Blazers seem to have achieved crushing.

Both Wang Zelin and Aldridge have been selected to the All-Star. Although the Warriors' David Lee has also been selected to the All-Star, no one thinks that he can take advantage of the Blazers' inside defense.

For the rest of the players, Curry, the head of the Warriors, just made his name last season and became a scorer averaging more than 20+ per game in the league.

Everyone agrees that even if there is progress this season, it is impossible for him to reach the sky in one step and become an active superstar in the league.

Leaving aside the main players and talking about the bench, the gap between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers is even greater.The Trail Blazers have Mo Williams + Garnett, who can stably contribute two scoring points of 10+.

What about the Warriors?

The players in the substitute rotation lineup who can barely see the past are first Maris Speights, who scored 8.3 points and 4.9 rebounds last season.After coming to the Warriors this season, he lost 4 minutes of playing time and is currently able to get 6+3 data.
In addition, the Warriors' bench also includes Jermaine O'Neal, who was signed for 200 million yuan a year, that is, the former All-Star O'Neal, Jordan Crawford, and Drummond Green who are in the wretched development stage.

From the offensive end to the defensive end, especially the defensive end, the Warriors are completely incomparable with the Trail Blazers.

The future all-round fighter Dream Chaser Green is still a complete rookie.Cole hasn't coached the Warriors yet, and he hasn't been valued by the head coach Mark Jackson in the team at this time, so until now, the average data of only 6+5+1 per game is not a concern!

The only thing to watch out for is the number 30 - Stephen Curry!

②Hot feel (gold)

③ Quick Gunner (Gold)"

Curry's long-range shooting attribute value remains unchanged from last season, which is 97, but Wang Zelin estimates that it will take only two seasons for Curry to break through to the ceiling level of 99.

The ultimate ability of 99, at present, Wang Zelin has only seen it in the CIC attribute value of Kobe's strength section.

不过，库里其他能力的提升，还是让王泽林为之动容：89~92的中投、78~84的传球、80~82的突破、85~89的综合评分……

It is not far from the timeline when Ku Ritian landed on the NBA historical stage!
In addition, there is Klay Thompson whose long-range shooting attributes have broken through from 94 to 95, and his overall score has broken from 78 to 80.This guy is also not to be underestimated.After all, starting next season, Thompson will officially become a regular in the NBA All-Star Game.

The Splash Brothers are about to usher in the moment of blooming.

In the scrimmage, the Trail Blazers won the first attack without any suspense. For example, if Wang Zelin is there, BoGt will never even think about winning once in his life.

The Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin supported at a high position, Matthews ran out of the opportunity, received the pass, Duang~ made the first shot and hit the iron.

Terry Stotts chewed gum on the sidelines, his expression unchanged.Because of this ball, Matthews got a chance to move without the ball. There was no problem tactically, and the opportunity came out, but he didn't score... Then it can only be attributed to the player's own touch.

BoG is about to take off to protect the defensive rebound, but there is already a quicker...

"Zering grabs the offensive rebound...He jumps...Hand dunks at the rim...It's a beautiful shot! Shows everyone the tacit cooperation between the players on the Trail Blazers. It doesn't matter if you don't score, there are other people who will wipe your ass for you."

Zhang Lili explained loudly.

Yu Jia said: "Ahem, Mr. Zhang, calm down, let's calm down. For the king, this is just basic exercises."

……

"Don't worry about casting, I will do everything!" Wang Zelin said to Matthews when he retreated.

"Got it, man, I'm not that easy to get over."

Matthews nodded.

Warriors attack.

The Trail Blazers had a balanced offense and defense, and they retreated very quickly. Curry didn't find a chance for a fast break, so he had to settle down.

In the home commentary booth.

"Chris, how do you think Stephen will play this ball?" Warriors star Rick Barry asked.

"Needless to say, it must be his best three-pointer. This little guy is currently the hottest three-pointer in the league!" Chris Mullin, another famous player, laughed.

Because it is a full-meter live broadcast, ESPN spent some money and specially invited Rick Barry and Chris Mullin, two former Warriors legends, to come and comment on the spot.

One is the originator of the urinal free throw posture, the strongest No. 24 player in history before Kobe entered the league; the other is "God's Left Hand", who was also a superstar in the league at his peak.

The coffee positions of the two are not insignificant.

When the two officially decided to explain the game, both the Warriors players on the field and the Warriors fans in the stands seemed to have a natural morale bonus. From the moment the game started, cheers rang throughout the arena.

Since Monta Ellis was traded away, the Warriors' possession has generally been in Curry's hands.

Don't look at the pre-match media's hype, when Curry knows in his heart, unless his team feels explosive, or the opponent's condition is average, they will definitely not be able to kill the Blazers head-on.

Therefore, Curry, who wanted to win, chose to suppress the rhythm and hit the success rate.

Yes, you heard that right!Although he was on the unfavorable side before the game, Curry still did not give up. In order to win, he racked his brains, how could he give up lightly.

At the top of the arc, Lillard desperately pestered Curry, but the latter was unmoved. At this time, David Lee took the initiative to step forward to do a pick-and-roll, and Wang Zelin followed and left the basket, ready to switch to Curry.

Curry and David Lee's pick-and-roll coverage is currently the most important offensive tactic for the Warriors.

Sure enough, Curry used the cover to break through straight in, and Wang Zelin immediately moved to the right to make a replacement.

However, Curry just pretended to break through, took a step in, then retracted his right foot, stood outside the three-point line, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

Wow, this shooting speed is really outrageous!

Before Wang Zelin could even reach out, Curry's shot was over.

Don't go in!Do not enter!

The only thing he can do now is pray that Curry feels as bad as Matthews.

But God just doesn't follow people's wishes.

As soon as Wang Zelin turned around and was about to rush for a rebound, he caught sight of where the basketball fell from the corner of his eye and stopped in his tracks.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

3: 2.

"Stephen~Curry!!!"

The home DJ roared wildly, driving the fans in the stands to cheer together.

"Hahaha, what did I say? Stephen will definitely use a three-pointer to respond to the opponent." Mullin laughed.

Barry sighed: "I have to admit that this little guy's three-point talent is the No. 1 I've ever seen in my life! I really didn't expect such a huge energy to be contained in such a weak body."

Indeed, Curry, who was plagued by injuries in the third year of his career, only played 3 games. When everyone thought that the star of hope was dying, he returned to the game with a stronger posture.

Through that baby face, what people see is Curry's unyielding and persistence in the face of difficulties. Perhaps this is the reason why he has a large number of fans.

Court TV live broadcast room.

"Hey! The first three-pointer was hit. Stephen Curry, the head of the Warriors, shouldn't feel bad today." Zhang Reasonable shouted.

Trail Blazers attack.

Wang Zelin missed the basket and moved on the right wing, with the purpose of opening the paint area to facilitate Lillard, Matthews and Batum to break through.

At this time the ball arrived, and BoGte behind him hurried to his body.

Bo Gite is 2 meters tall and weighed 13 kilograms last season. In order to resist Wang Zelin, he gained another 118 kilograms during the offseason, reaching 3 kilograms.

This makes his movement slower, but definitely more powerful.

However, the tonnage of 121 kilograms is far from enough in the face of Wang Zelin's domineering power.

"Oh!"

With the sound of a collision, BoGt took a big step back in an instant, and arched again, and BoGte was directly knocked into a reasonable collision zone.

Outside the window, Mark Jackson shook his head. This scene was very similar to last season, and he had to be double-teamed to solve the big guy.

In the left elbow area, seeing that BoGt couldn't hold it, David Lee came all the way to double-team, grabbed in front of Wang Zelin, stretched out his hands, and blocked his passing route.

That leaves Aldridge empty, cutting in and getting into a catch position.

Obviously, the Warriors underestimated Wang Zelin's passing ability and wide vision.I saw him slamming the top, and after knocking Bogut back, there was a short and obvious gap in the original airtight defense of Bogut and David Lee.

He grabbed the ball with his right hand, flicked it back, and the ball passed through the gap between the two.

"Snapped!"

Aldridge has already stood firmly at the basket, caught the ground pass, kicked back with one hand, and scored two more points for the team.

4:3
"This passing skill is too detailed, and the timing is really accurate."

"It can't solve the king's point. It is probably a bit difficult for the Warriors to win."

When the court duo explained, the Warriors launched a counterattack.

After Curry rushed to the free throw line, he suddenly stopped and shot a jumper, scoring 2 points for the Warriors.

Relying on Curry to score for two consecutive rounds, in addition to showing his status in the team, it also shows the lack of head coach Mark Jackson's tactical system.

After watching the previous Warriors games, the Trail Blazers coaching staff knew that most of the Warriors' offense relied on Curry's pick-and-roll with the ball, and the tactical changes were definitely not rich.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Mark Jackson will dismiss get out of class in the future.

It's not just because of a bad relationship with the team's management, he is also far inferior to Cole in the future in terms of player use.

It can only be said that Mark Jackson has changed the culture of the Warriors, injected defense and team into it, and is no longer the chaos of the old Nelson era.

But this is like building a house. He has laid the foundation. As for how to construct the warriors into skyscrapers, he does not have the ability.

Therefore, even though Curry scored two goals in a row, Coach Terry Stotts was delighted after seeing this scene.

If the Warriors allow Curry to compete with them on offense, coach Terry Stotts believes that his team must have the last laugh.
