The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

On December 12, the flames of war in the NBA reignited.

In Madison Square, the battle between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers is imminent.

In the locker room of the visiting team, McMillan, who was the coach of the Blazers at the time, was pulling Oden to give a face-to-face instruction.

"Listen Greg, we need your strength tonight." McMillan squatted in front of Oden and said.

After Oden recovered, the Blazers' main lineup was gradually determined: Oden, Aldridge, Batum, Roy, Blake.

Outlaw and Fernandez on the bench are the main substitute scoring points. These two players, together with Przybilla and Rodriguez, constitute the main substitute for the Blazers.

Youth is the biggest advantage of the Blazers. This lineup includes substitutes. The oldest is only 27 years old, and the average age is less than 23 years old.

Don't underestimate the Trail Blazers. In the absence of Oden last season, their 13-game winning streak at the end of the season almost made it to the playoffs. Their 50% winning percentage created their highest winning percentage in the past five years. If it weren't for the The Western Conference has been too perverted in recent years, 5% or even ranked ninth in the Western Conference. They were able to taste the taste of the playoffs last season.

But it doesn't matter, they finally waited for Oden to return this season. In the last 4 games, the Blazers won 4 consecutive victories. Oden contributed a lot. His average of 9.5 points and 10 rebounds per game made people believe in the "Great King" Coming back soon.

And Roy is also tougher. Last month, Roy ranked second only to Kobe in the best player option. If he hadn't lost to the Suns twice, maybe Roy would be the best player. After all, there are 4 games in a single month. The score of 30+ is really impressive.

The strongest thing about the Blazers is their deep bench, and a group of young guards can always stand up at the critical moment of the team.

Such a team, no wonder McMillan has ideas.

And this game against the Knicks is particularly critical. On the Western Conference list, as long as they can win this game, the Blazers will surpass the Rockets and enter the top four in the Western Conference, which is absolutely very tempting.

And this game is equally important for Oden. McMillan hopes that Oden can further regain his confidence in the confrontation with the supernova Zuo Li.

"Good coach, I will do my best." Oden nodded.

The current Oden is not the big man in the later generations who was depressed due to doubts and injuries. Although the year in the hospital bed was not easy, he is still full of vitality at this time. It is not necessary for the coach to say that he also hopes to be in the game. prove yourself.

"Ouhou~ Our big man is going to show his power~!" Roy took the lead in applauding. Obviously, the atmosphere in the Blazers locker room is good, and Roy is trying to help Oden integrate into the locker room.

"However, I heard that Zuo Li on the opposite side is not easy to deal with. This guy is already an overlord in New York." Aldridge leaned forward and said.

"What's the matter, push forward two years, Oden is a proper senior, Oden has taken everything he has taken, don't talk to buddy, you just lack time." Roy patted Oden on the shoulder.

"You're right." Aldridge shrugged: "But you have to pay attention, this guy is said to like confrontation, he's a bit obsessed, and he also likes CROSSOVCER, it's a big man's nightmare, you have to be careful."

"That's right, I heard Bogut from the Bucks say that Zuo Li also likes to provoke opponents, he is vicious and cruel, he talks trash very well, and he doesn't hold back when he plays. Bogut is still lying down now, but Zuo Lihuang Yes, and now it is estimated that there are 5 or 6 people who have been knocked down by him." Substitute Outlaw also said.

Oden's eyes were straightened when he heard it. Is Zuo Li so scary? Hearing the description of these people, Zuo Li is simply a three-headed and six-armed monster. Hearing it made his knees ache.

Oh, Zuo Li himself is indeed a monster.

He had heard of Zuo Li as early as in high school, but he had never played against him. One year in his senior year, they missed their careers perfectly. The only time he and Conley had the chance to play against each other did not choose to participate, but he only heard that Zuo Liyue It's getting stronger and stronger. I just got the terrifying data of 30+20 some time ago.

Thinking of this, Oden was a little envious. As an insider, who wouldn't want to be like Zuo Li in the inside?

But thinking of the expectations of the outside world and fans, as well as the help of his teammates and coaches, Oden regained his morale. Tonight, he will fight hard!

aggressive!

Oden bulged out the forehead lines that look old without special makeup, and stepped onto Madison Square, the holy place for basketball, with an appearance that no one should enter.

The appearance ceremony of the Knicks was still shocking, and the sidelines were still full of celebrities from all walks of life. This anger made Oden feel very novel, and this was his first time here.

Just as Oden kept looking around, a big man approached him, either Zuo Li or something.

"Hi buddy, long time no see."

"Okay, long time no see?" Oden and Zuo Li bumped into each other's shoulders, their minds were confused, this is so familiar, have we met before?

"Don't worry about these details. In short, I am looking forward to playing against you tonight. Your knee is okay." Zuo Li said with a smile.

"Oh, it's okay, thank you for your concern, and I'm looking forward to playing against you." Oden scratched his head, like a big James, but he looked very simple and honest.

"Hahaha, that's good, see you on the field then." Zuo Li waved away.

Oden scratched his forehead. Is this the Zuo Li that his teammates were talking about?Looks pretty good...

But who would have known that Zuo Li, who returned to the bench, regained his former enthusiasm: "We have only one goal tonight, and that is to win! We must defend the home court, this is our territory!"

"Oden to me! Duhon, remember to pass it to me, Zach, I believe you will be happy to teach this guy Aldridge a lesson."

"David, wait, we need your support at any time, and Hughes, I think Roy must be handed over to you!"

Zuo Li's series of roars made everyone in the Knicks a lot more solemn, especially Larry Hughes, who was finally able to play and replace Ke Liu's starting position.

Harrington and Novak, who can also play but are still bench gangsters, glanced at each other, feeling the pressure on their faces. This is their first show for the Knicks, and they don't want to make a fuss.

And Dragic looked enviously at Zuo Li, and by the way looked at D'Antoni, who was smiling very kindly, and felt that he seemed to have found the direction of his life.

Only little Ewing couldn't figure it out. In the locker room in the afternoon, Zuo Li said a lot of good things about Oden and the Blazers, but now, Zuo Li's fierce face made little Ewing feel as if he had lost his memory...

As if seeing little Ewing's confusion, Zuo Li added: "Going all out is the best way to show respect!"

"Oh, I understand! I will also stand by with all my strength!" Little Ewing resolutely beat his chest to show his loyalty.

And Zuo Li still has a desire in his heart. No one has seen Oden's peak, but the peak on the bright side is now. In two months, Oden will be injured in a game. If he doesn't play at this time, it will be true But there is no chance.
