NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 144 The Rare Competition for the Scoring Champion

On January 2013, 1, the Trail Blazers ushered in the first game of the new year. Wang Zelin and others came to New York, the most prosperous city in the United States and even in the world.

And their opponent is the New York Knicks led by Melon Anthony.

As a team that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the Knicks have only made the playoffs twice in the first ten years of the new century, and they belong to the younger brother who can bully anyone in the league.

However, this does not prevent the Knicks from becoming the highest paid team in the league.

After joining the Knicks in the 10-11 season, Melon Anthony and his partner Chauncey Billups made it into the playoffs for two consecutive years... many old fans burst into tears.

The last time the Knicks were able to have such a grand occasion, it had to be when the gorilla Ewing led the team.

Well, forgive the Knicks for being the younger brother for too long, and even breaking into the playoffs has become a luxury.

……

During the afternoon tactical meeting, Batum looked sad and sad.

As one of the representatives of the 03 Platinum Generation, Carmelo Anthony's unique offensive instincts make him one of the most harmful super scorers in the league.

The reason why Melon is called Melon is definitely not because of the sweet smile on his baby face, just like the score of cutting melons and vegetables, is the real capital of his vertical and horizontal alliance.

Under the leadership of Anthony, the Knicks are no longer a weak team.

The current record is 21 wins and 8 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, only half a game behind the 22 wins and 8 losses of the Blazers.

The current Knicks have a very bluffing nickname-"Strong Team Killer!"

Gein has several teams known as the favorites to win the championship this season, all of which lost to the Knicks led by Anthony.

On November 11, the Knicks beat the Heat 3:104 in the opening game, celebrating a good start to the new season.

Before the start of the season, the defending champion Miami Heat, sitting on the top of the Big Three, topped the list of team strength in the new season of the major authoritative media in the United States.

Even the authoritative sports media of China regards the Heat as the number one seed to win the championship.

As a result, Anthony slapped all the expert media in the face with a strong performance of 30 points and 10 rebounds.

Not long after playing the Heat, in mid-November, the Knicks killed the San Antonio Spurs back to back...

In the second half of November, the Pacers and Mavericks lost to the Knicks one after another.

If it weren't for the Knicks' inexplicable loss to underdogs such as the Timberwolves, maybe the best of the month in November would belong to Anthony.

Anthony's good form this year is scary, no wonder Batum was so sad before the game.

The tactical meeting before the game set a tone: a superstar like Anthony must be unstoppable. Instead of spending time and effort to target, it is better to let Batum defend the opponent alone and make a lot of singles.

After all, Anthony is notoriously easy to hit.

There is no doubt that this is a dangerous move.

If Anthony hits high, it's really possible to end the game by himself.

But what if!
……

In the afternoon, Wang Zelin and his teammates came to the famous Madison Square Garden.

The last time I came here was during the draft.

And this time, he will visit again as a supernova.

Entering the arena, Knicks players are warming up.

When Anthony saw the Blazers coming, he walked straight to Wang Zelin and greeted Wang Zelin very exaggeratedly: "Oh, My king is here, I am your loyal fan!"

"Oh, my brother, it's nice to meet you, I'm your fan, I watched you grow up..."

"..."

"Ah, no, I grew up watching you play ball."

Looking at the sturdy No. 7 player in front of him, Wang Zelin hugged him with an ecstatic expression.

Falk squid!This kid is really like LeBron said, he likes to say "I'm a fan of xxx."

Anthony was also complaining silently in his heart.

Obviously, the performances of the two were a bit too exaggerated, which made the two teams full of black lines.

I have to say that there are only wrong names in the world, not wrong nicknames.

Although Melon's behavior is not as exaggerated as his good friend LeBron James, who is full of brothers, he is still very easy to get along with.

Provided that don’t mention the donuts…

After the exaggerated hug, Wang Zelin adjusted his mentality: "Melo, you are in such a good state this year, I think you must be the scoring champion."

"I think so!"

Anthony nodded in agreement, without any humility on his face.

In the 2012-13 season, the 28-year-old LeBron James played the peak season of his personal performance. As one of the peerless twins in 03, Carmelo Anthony, who was only half a year older than the former, also came own peak period.

After playing for two months, there are only two players with an average of 30+ points per game in the new season. One is Carmelo Anthony in front of him, who temporarily ranks first in the league with an average of 31.6 points per game.

The other is Kevin Durant of the Thunder, who is temporarily second in the league with a 31.2 difference of 0.4 points per game.

Ranked third is Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. The 34-year-old blacksmith averaged 29.8 points per game to prove that his firepower is still undiminished.

Thanks to Nash's early comeback, the Black Mamba put away his fangs.

During the period when Nash was sidelined due to injury, Kobe scored 14+ in 30 crazy games and once ranked first in the scoring list.

Some time ago, the Black Mamba, who played to his heart's content, frightened many people.

It's 34 and almost 35, and the donkeys in the production team don't dare to make it like this!

According to the practice of previous years, the beginning of the season is the peak period for the data explosion of the superstars, because some players have not yet entered the game state, and the players who enter the state early occupy the major data lists early.

But I don't know when it started.

When the old-school players are getting old, the main theme of the league has changed from hostility to kindness, and everyone has played brother basketball.

In recent years, once someone takes the lead early in the scoring list, it is difficult to see someone fighting hard in the later stage.

This year, it is rare in the league to see a scoring feast among three super scorers. Many fans began to recall the fierce competition between the leading stars of various teams in the league for the scoring title at the beginning of the century.

Under the vigorous promotion of Utah, this season's scoring competition has become another focus of this year's NBA.

……

Under the leadership of the leaders of both sides, the players on both sides greeted each other very friendly before the game.

It is not difficult to understand.

After all, the Trail Blazers and the Knicks have no deep hatred in the history of the team. In addition, the bosses of the two teams are notoriously elegant gentlemen, and the atmosphere before the game between the two teams is naturally very friendly.

However, in the eyes of the reporters off the court... the two teams seem to be a bit too good.

Is it possible that some people really think that "friendship first, competition second" in sports is a truth?
……

After the separation, Wang Zelin took a look at the strength analysis of the future scoring champion, focusing on the analysis of offensive ability.
