NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 464

The next day.

"What a great evil!"

When the sunlight hit the bed through the window sill, Wang Zelin rubbed his sleepy eyes and couldn't help saying "sin, sin!"

"Ah."

Soon, a snort came from below.

"What's the matter, husband?"

Like a kitten that just woke up, Zhou Lin'an subconsciously leaned on Wang Zelin's chest before opening her eyes.

"Well…"

Before she could ask any more questions, Wang Zelin suddenly approached and pressed his lips together.

"Don't...don't..."

Soon, the symphony sounded one after another in the hotel room again, which was unusually harmonious.

An hour later, Wang Zelin reluctantly got out of bed in his hotel pajamas and began to wash.

In the hotel, Wang Zelin had just left Wenrouxiang. Outside, the news of the G3 game between the Blazers and the Clippers became the hottest news.

The media has given full play to the ancestral grassroots behavior, whichever way the wind blows, they will fall.

The promotion probabilities of the two teams reversed again in a short period of time, and the Blazers' chances of winning the championship also climbed to the top of the league overnight, surpassing the Heat, Spurs, and Pacers.

Even ESPN, which has always been pessimistic, had to succumb to the general trend and gave a "43.7%" chance of winning the championship.

Immediately afterwards, a topic began to spread, about how to "restrict Wang Zelin".

This question made Sima Weiqi in front of the TV and Pat Riley, the master of the real voice behind the Heat, frowned at the same time.

On Pat Riley's side, for some reason, the back of the No. 10 hunk who just came to the Heat to report about 32 years ago always appeared in his mind...

The most dominant center in history ~ Shaquille O'Neal, the Shark!
impossible?Absolutely impossible!
That China kid was only in second grade, and I was crazy to compare him to Shaquille.

As soon as the crazy idea in Pat Riley's mind came out, it was quickly suppressed.

Only those who have experienced the Lakers dynasty at the beginning of the century will know what kind of destructive power that big shark had in the league back then?

It was under the huge impetus of O'Neal's basketball rules that the league revised the rules several times in a row, such as modifying the reasonable collision zone under the basket, allowing the use of zone defense tactics, and three-second violations in the penalty area.

In addition, for O'Neal's free throws, the league also specially stipulates that fouls on players without the ball in the last 2 minutes of the game will be punished with one penalty and one throw, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation where O'Neal is chased by his opponent and galloped all over the court at the last moment, just to avoid standing on the free throw line.

From this, we can see the huge shock that O'Neal brought to the outside world after entering the league, and the damage to the rules of the basketball world.

"We have LeBron, and Dwyane has entered the playoffs, and it seems that he has regained the state of the Flash. Our ability to break through and cause damage from the outside is at a historical level. As long as LeBron and Dwyane rush up, No matter how good Wang's defense is, he will be sent off sooner or later."

As if to comfort himself, Pat Riley became more and more energetic as he thought about it, his face flushed redder.

In fact, if it was Pat Riley a few years ago, with his shrewdness as a "magic operator", he would definitely try to find a way to destroy the current king's basket.

Unfortunately, time is not forgiving!
The magic operator is only one year away from turning [-], and his mental strength has already been much worse than before.

In contrast, Sima Weiqi in the holy city is much more energetic.

Since last year's conference finals, Sima Weiqi realized that the Portland Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin were very similar to the Oklahoma City Thunder team a few years ago. These young people with unlimited potential were destined to be the future of the league, so he had already raised the alarm in his heart.

However, it was limited to raising the cordon before.

After all, the Spurs have gradually begun to transform since 2008, and after 2012, the transformation work within the Spurs has completely come to an end.

Entering the championship last season and almost overthrowing the defending champion Heat's Big Three is the best proof.

After four years of transformation, the Spurs have reached a new historical peak on the road of team basketball.

Lost to the Heat last year, this year they are ready for a comeback.

In Sima Weiwei's prediction, no matter how fast the young people of the Blazers grow up, it is impossible for them to surpass the Thunder of the year.

In order to level up Durant, Detonator spent several years just playing badly. Only then did Westbrook join in 08 and Harden joined in 09, forming an unprecedented combination of the Thunder's three young men. For the first time broke into the finals stage.

From the 07 draft, Kevin Durant, the cornerstone of the team, was selected with the second pick, to the 2011-2012 season, when the Thunder broke into the finals for the first time in history, and it took 5 years.

In Sima Weiwei's view, no matter how much he thinks highly of the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin, it will take three years for the latter to really become the confidant of his team.

Who would have thought that just after his rookie season, Wang Zelin would have completed his evolution from a star to a superstar, and this season he has even performed at the MVP level.

The comeback speed of the Portland Youth Army has far exceeded the expectations of Simavich and the Spurs.

"Power is unsolvable! Speed ​​is fast! There are many offensive methods! The defense is so good... Why did such a monster appear? This kind of guy, even in the 90s, is still a great center forward!"

Sima Weiqi had a headache because he really couldn't find any specific measures against Wang Zelin.

What he didn't expect was that this season the Trail Blazers chose to use Wang Zelin as the core of their tactics. After switching to Princeton, they would achieve such a terrifying regular season record. Even in the playoffs, they still maintain a horror show of only losing one game.

I knew that I should put up a few more meat shields before the All-Star Game, but now it is too late.

What should I do?

……

……

Time passed in a hurry, and came to May 5, the G12 battle between the Blazers and the Clippers.

The development of tonight's game exceeded everyone's expectations. The Clippers fell behind by 20 points in the first quarter. Although they recovered some points at the end of the first quarter, they still trailed the Blazers by 11 points at 28:17.

Obviously, in the first three games, the two teams basically played back and forth in the first half. Why didn't they see each other for two days and the Clippers just pulled it off?

the reason is simple.

Less than 2 minutes into the first quarter, Blake Griffin failed to stand firmly after landing while grabbing a rebound, injured his ankle, and lay directly on the court in pain.

The ghost knows how bad Paul's mood was outside the three-point line after this scene happened...

At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind: Is this my fate?
The facts quickly dealt Paul a heavy blow:

After treatment by the team doctor, Griffin suffered a first-degree sprain, part of the ligaments around the ankle joint ruptured, and needed immediate ice packs...

This is life!
