NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 126 Training the Little Dragon (updated on April 4)
The general public opinion is that the Trail Blazers have lost money, including domestic fans.

Since Wang Zelin's performance has gotten better and better, the Portland Trail Blazers have become the home team in the hearts of Chinese fans. Therefore, domestic fans are much more concerned about the future development, planning, and forecasting of the Trail Blazers than the Blazers fans in the United States.

Netizens on various post bar forums, social media software, etc., had heated discussions on this tripartite transaction, and finally came to a consistent result.

Anyway, with the current lineup of the Blazers, it is impossible to reach the championship in the first year. As long as Wang Zelin's starting position is stable, domestic fans will be satisfied.

In the general manager's office of the Boston Celtics, general manager Danny Ainge is drinking tea with head coach Doc Rivers.

"Mr. Angie, how is the plan of trading the king of China that you said before going?"

Doc Rivers asked after a refill.

"not so good!"

Danny Ainge shook his head subconsciously, and talked about the discussion with the general manager of the Blazers Orsey.

"The Orsi guy said that the king is not for sale in their team, and it is impossible to put it on the shelves."

"So, what about LaMarcus?"

Doc Rivers was stunned and continued to ask.

Wang Zelin can't do it, Aldridge can do it, anyway, I'm not picky eaters.

"It doesn't work either, mainly because we don't have an equal bargaining chip here."

"Don't we have KG?"

As soon as the words came out, Doc Rivers saw Danny Ainge's white eyes, and he reacted quickly.

Garnett is almost 35, so naturally he can't match the potential of Aldridge, who is at his peak.

Someone silently refilled another glass.

……

On the afternoon of the 11th, all members of the Trail Blazers had arrived in Toronto, the largest city in the Maple Leaf Country, to challenge the Raptors, the only one of the 30 teams in the league whose home court was outside the country.

It has to be said that the Trail Blazers' schedule this season is simply poisonous. After a wave of eight consecutive away games, they only played one home game and started another consecutive away trip.

After the All-Star Game, the Trail Blazers' schedule will gradually improve.

A simple and crude description is: tight in the early stage, loose in the late stage!

The Raptors are now in the era of "Melancholic God" DeMar DeRozan and mosaic veteran "Small Steel Cannon" Kyle Lowry.

emm, see the old mosaic again!

The Raptors, also known as the "Dragon Team", have not entered the playoffs for 4 consecutive years, and their performance this season is as bad as ever.

Not only ranked No. 8 in the Eastern Conference with 15 wins and 12 losses, but also experienced a 4-game row before.

For this game, even if it is at home, the fans are not optimistic that they can win.

During the warm-up period before the game, Kyle Lowry came to the Blazers half to say hello to Wang Zelin.

"Hi, king!"

Perhaps because he was teammates with Yao Ming, Lowry's "Hello" is very good, at least not as outrageous as O'Neal's version.

"Hello, Lori."

Wang Zelin stepped forward and gestured to Lowry with various gestures when meeting black people, which not only surprised the other party, but also caused the audience in front of the TV to exclaim.

"Wang, I didn't expect you to have such a hand."

"Hahaha, I think these are quite interesting, so I went to learn them specially, hey, let alone, it's quite easy to learn."

Wang Zelin did not lie to Lowry, in fact, he couldn't figure out why he felt so fast.

It can't be that most of the player cards he fuses are black players, so it's faster for black players to learn some skills, right?
After a few more pleasantries, the game began quickly.

According to the seven-day freeze day in the NBA trading rules, the Magic power forward Mike Roberts traded by the Trail Blazers needs to wait until the next game to appear.

Fortunately, the team only traded away three players, and this game can still make up a 12-man roster, otherwise it will be recruited by the Development League.

Coach Terry glanced at the names of the players who can play tonight...

In addition to the impact of Hickson's departure on the rotation lineup, the Blazers' starting lineup remains unchanged, and the lineup seems to be more reasonable than before.

This team is more than enough to play the Raptors.

Coach Terry thought so.

At 12:5, the Trail Blazers' fifth away game against the Raptors in December will start at the Maple Leaf National Airline Center Gymnasium, and the starters from both sides will start to enter the field.

For the Raptors, Kyle Lowry, Michael Brooks, DeMar DeRozan, Andre Bagyani, Jonas Valanciunas.

For the Blazers, Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, and Wang Zelin.

The entrance ceremony was over, the cheerleaders retreated, and the gentleman Wang Zelin looked back.

At [-]:[-], the game started on time.

Wang Zelin gave the Trail Blazers the opportunity to win the first attack, and Aldridge asked for the ball in the frontcourt for a single.

This is a battle between the No. 06 pick and the No. [-] pick in [-]. Aldridge started uncharacteristically, and his desire to score is extremely high.

Aldridge was full of energy. After shaking Bagyani away with several feints in a row, he turned around and took aim.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Aldridge took the lead for the team.

After scoring the goal, his expression was quite cold, and he didn't even bother to look at Bagyani and quickly returned to defense.

This greatly stimulated Bagyani's self-esteem.

There has always been a saying in the NBA that "No. [-] in the top pick must have water." As the No. [-] pick, Aldridge made it early and was selected for the All-Star Game last season. Now the one who loses the top spot in the outside world is undoubtedly him as the No. [-] pick.

"Andre, pay attention to defense!"

Raptors coach Casey yelled from the sidelines.

Bagyani bit his lip and silently went to the sidelines to serve.

The Raptors' offense, Kyle Lowry suddenly accelerated in the frontcourt, forced Lillard to succeed, and gave DeRozan an air cut near the free throw line.

A black whirlwind passed by Wang Zelin's side.

"boom!"

As expected of a man who had participated in a slam dunk contest, he stubbornly swung a big windmill in the air before dunking the ball.

Vaguely, some aging Raptors fans remembered their once proud, now traitors.

"Fuck, it's a good thing that labor and capital are flashy!"

"Fake, that guy's body is too strong!"

Players No. 36 and No. 0 of the Trail Blazers couldn't help cursing at the same time.

2: 2.

"Demar~~~De! Rozan!!!"

The home DJ shouted very loudly, the fans on the scene were completely ignited by this dunk, the audience shouted and carnivaled, and the daring ones even directly kissed the beautiful girls they didn't know around.

Melancholic God is great!

The game continues.

Lillard received the ball and advanced, Aldridge and Wang Zelin were in the low positions on the left and right sides respectively.

Kyle Lowry followed Lillard's footsteps one step before the free throw line. Lillard suddenly jumped up, probably trying to break through the defender's defense with his speed.

Unfortunately, Kyle Lowry's strength exceeded his expectations.

Seeing this, Matthews on the side quickly ran to the left, stuck Kyle Lowry, Lillard changed direction directly, and stepped into the paint area.

The Raptors were in Valanciunas in the three-second zone. Lillard didn't hesitate this time. After entering the three-second zone, he vacated directly, took off, stretched into a big bow in the air, and forced the basketball into it through the defender.

Valanciunas was hit by Lillard's impact and took several steps back, leaning near the basket to stabilize his figure.

2: 4.

"Beep beep!"

The whistle sounded, and there was an additional penalty.

"Sorry, buddy."

Kyle Lowry hurried forward and supported Valanciunas, his eyes full of apology.

However, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart: his teammate is also the top iron, and the opponent doesn't know how to hide when he charges so hard.

Lillard adjusted his breath on the serve line and made an extra penalty.

2: 5.

The game continued, this time Kyle Lowry passed the ball to Valanciunas, allowing him to single Wang Zelin.

Valanciunas, as a white big center, was able to rank fifth in the 11 draft because of his superb skills, especially low-post offense, which is very skillful.

After receiving the ball, Valanciunas didn't wait for Wang Zelin to approach, and directly hit the rebound and shot from close range.

"Bang! Shah!"

The basketball wipes the board into the net.

4: 5.

The Blazers continued to attack, Lillard advanced quickly, and Wang Zelin no longer stepped forward to pick and roll, but settled in.

After several pushes and pushes, Wang Zelin carried Valanciunas to stabilize his position, raised his arms high, and opened his hands for the ball.

Seeing that Aldridge didn't take the initiative to attack this time, Lillard made a lob pass and let Wang Zelin attack in a low position.

"Our No. 5 pick meets the opposite No. 8 pick. Jonas' performance will be like..."

Before the home commentator on the sidelines finished speaking, a loud noise spread throughout the audience.

"boom!"

Wang Zelin has already succeeded in a violent slam dunk through the defense of Valanciunas.

If Valanciunas' previous offense showed the art of shooting, then Wang Zelin's offense is the beauty of violence.

7: 4.

In the first few rounds of the two sides, no one could defend the other, and they all scored. The young cores of both teams showed their outstanding talents.

In the next round, Kyle Lowry continued to find Valanciunas, but this time he failed to get a good position and was pushed outside by Wang Zelin.

Valanciunas chose to play singles with the ball and the frame. First, he made a few tentative steps, but Wang Zelin didn't move at all, and then quickly moved laterally, but was still stopped.

After being blocked, Valanciunas took advantage of the situation and turned over to make a jump shot. Wang Zelin raised his arms high to interfere with Valanciunas' sight, and the latter shot hard.

Aldridge made another rebound and passed it to Batum for a fast break. Unfortunately, DeRozan disrupted the rhythm and could only continue to fight on the ground.

Wang Zelin and Aldridge stepped forward to do a double pick-and-roll, and then flew together, while Valanciunas at the basket thought about this.

In the sound of "scumbag", Lillard assisted the left side to take off smoothly, "Bang!" Aldridge succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.

9: 4.

Both teams are young people, and the pace of the game will speed up as soon as it is said to speed up.

Kyle Lowry dribbled the ball and handed it to DeRozan, and the pretty boy in the CIC singled out French Pippen.

Obviously, the current Zhonglai Liangzi has not yet matured. Although he has shown some edge of the future second-team shooting guard, he is still shrouded in the bat wings of the peak Batum.

As the game progressed, the Trail Blazers and Raptors, who also built their teams with young players as the core, showed completely different effects.

The Trail Blazers played more and more fiercely without breaking the law; although the Raptors also have many talented players, they lack a leader.

Although DeRozan is clearly the core of the team, the character of this melancholy male god is doomed to make him unable to become strong. When his teammates have possession of the ball, he only knows how to run with his head sullen and rarely asks for the ball.

Throughout the first half, DeRozan, as a shooting guard, only got 7 shots, hit 4 goals and scored 8 points.

The other core, Kyle Loriser, has gradually shown his game characteristics of being sometimes super god and sometimes super ghost, and this game seems to have come to a super ghost state.

He made 4 of 0 shots and scored a point with free throws, so he won't eat duck eggs.

With the two cores playing like this, the Raptors instantly turned into dragons, and the whole court was subdued by the Blazers.

The Blazers defeated their opponents with a score of 92:74.

鉴于本场比赛在第3节结束时就已经被打花了，王泽林这场比赛只打了25分钟，拿到14分10篮板5助攻。

Don't ask how the 5 assists come from, facing such an underdog, how can you not seize the opportunity to show off.

The Menglong team on the opposite side.

忧郁男神全场16投7中三分，二中零罚球，6中6得到了20分4篮板1助攻。

Personally, Yapi played steadily, but he just couldn't win the ball.

小钢炮这场比赛彻底超鬼，7中1得到了3分7助攻2篮板1抢断。

The other players also behaved so-so and became apprentices to blacksmiths.

This game was also expected by everyone, and there was no splash after the result came out.

After all, he is a well-known young expert in cooking, and it is not easy to train a little cute dragon.
