NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 178 Brother Pao likes to mention the five best balls...Background board
During the warm-up period before the game, the players of the two teams did not communicate with each other. Under the exaggeration of the media, the bloody, exciting, and tense atmosphere was about to overflow off the screen.

On the bench, Coach Terry yelled passionately: "No matter what our opponent said before the game, please forget it for the time being, because it is of little significance, and it will also affect the competitive state. Next, everyone must focus on For the upcoming game, don't be affected by off-court factors, understand?"

"Coach, I understand!" Wang Zelin moved his wrist, and those who didn't know thought he was going to fight.

"..."

Coach Terry gave him a blank look. He knew that these hot-blooded young people didn't listen to his words at all.

Well, in fact, he also thinks it is unrealistic, but what should be mentioned needs to be mentioned.

Coach Terry frowned and said, "Keep calm, don't let what happened last time, OK?"

"Of course!"

……

At this time, in the away locker room, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro yelled: "Guys, we have lost three games in a row. This game is especially important. If we lose again, we will be sixth in the West."

"So, tonight we will strive for victory, strive for another good result this season, and break through last season's fifth place in the Western Conference."

The coach Vinny Del Negro, who has always been personable and calm in the eyes of the outside world, is very dissatisfied with the team's recent downturn.

Since experiencing a wave of 5 consecutive victories, the Clippers have only three games left in January. The momentum shown by the team makes Vinny Del Negro feel that it is very likely to end the January game with a winning streak.

Even if there is a strong opponent like the Thunder in the next three games, Vinny Del Negro has no fear in his heart.

And the reality can always give people a resounding slap in the face.

Not only did the Clippers lose to a perennially bad team like the Warriors first, they couldn't even beat the Suns, which was under reconstruction, in the last game.

With such a performance, it is hard to believe that this is a team aiming for a championship.

"Chris, don't be stingy with your strength tonight, fight for me, I hope to see a real captain."

"I see!" Paul nodded.

……

The two sides started and were about to enter the field. The players of the Clippers and the Trail Blazers met in the channel.

Wang Zelin glanced at the last person, Chris Paul.

The Clippers' insider Wang Zelin is no longer in his eyes, only Chris Paul, the number one active point guard, makes him confused.

Before the game, Wang Zelin took a look at Paul's overall score, which remained unchanged at 96.

A ruthless one!
Seeing Wang Zelin staring at him with scrutiny, Paul would smile and watch Wang Zelin lead the Trail Blazers out of the player channel, his face turned cold instantly.

The first center of the new generation?
Let me see how many catties you weigh!
"Let's go!"

Paul tilted his head and motioned for everyone to enter.

"Ouch!"

Little Jordan and the others screamed excitedly.

At 7:30, the warm-up ends.

Clippers starters: Chris Paul, Willie Green, Caron Butler, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.

Trail Blazers starting: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.

Both teams have sent the most commonly used starting lineups in the regular season this season. In comparison, the Trail Blazers are slightly better in terms of height on the court.

1号位：利拉德1米88，保罗1米83。

2号位：马修斯1米93，威利格林1米90。

……

Jordan is 2 meters and Wang Zelin is 11 meters.

After all, basketball is a giant's game. Although many people don't want to admit it, it is a fact after all.

"In this game, we will play 32-zone defense, and the inside will be handled by Wang. Nicholas and Damien will pay more attention to Chris Paul's long-range shots and breakthroughs."

Before the game, Coach Terry gave his final instructions.

On the side of the Clippers, team coach Vinny Del Negro is also making the final tactical deployment: "Narrow the circle to the inside, and DeAndre will focus on defense. If you can't limit the number 36 on the opposite side, Blake has to be sure. Time double-team!"

"Others fill up quickly, do more physical confrontation, and don't let the opponent play too easily."

……

The game started, Wang Zelin and Jordan jumped the ball.

"Hey, rookie, let's take a good look at your uncle Jordan's figure for a while!"

Since Wang Zelin's performance has become more and more outstanding, while Jr. is envious and jealous, he also does not forget to publicize the fact that Wang Zelin lost to himself in the jump ball.

A blue-collar center like Jordan who relies solely on his body for food can only find his presence in this aspect.

"Really!"

Wang Zelin chuckled.

I am different from last time.

The referee tosses the ball into the air, and Blazers No. 36 and Clippers No. 6 jump up.

"Humph!"

Glancing at Wang Zelin who was jumping at the same time, Little Qiaodan smiled disdainfully, thinking about this point of bouncing...

"Fake squid!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the audience, Wang Zelin beat Jordan first and won the jump ball.

"King! King! King!"

The Blazers fans at the scene were shocked, but more ecstatic.

"Other than Dwight Howard once, I've never seen anyone beat DeAndre Jordan at the jump ball."

"It seems that the NBA jump ball world is going to add another fierce player!"

The game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers can be called a focus battle, and the familiar ace commentator is already in place.

No, Barkley and Kenny Smith expressed the thoughts of most people.

"Quick attack!"

Lillard yelled, received the ball and quickly rushed forward.

"So fast!"

"Is this speed fast enough to catch up to No. 0 of the Thunder?"

"Who knows!"

"I think that there is a chance for them to compete on the [-]-meter runway."

"..."

In the press seats at the scene, many reporters exclaimed again and again.

Speaking of the opening fast break, fans all over the world don't know that the Clippers are the most.

But now, the Clippers have a rare opportunity to experience the same tricks on themselves. What does it feel like?
Paul, who is known as "Stable God", did not expect Jordan to lose to Wang Zelin in the jump ball, and was forcibly run over by Lillard's sudden explosive power.

After Wang Zelin landed, he threw away Jordan beside him and rushed to the front field.

The entire Clippers' defensive system was completely caught off guard because of Wang Zelin's jump ball victory!
"A fast break performance belonging to the Trail Blazers! The picture is simply too beautiful!"

"Who will finish this ball?"

"let us wait and see!"

Barkley on the sidelines commentary jumped up excitedly, and the commentary sprayed out like a machine gun.

Paul gritted his teeth and followed Lillard, who kept rushing towards the penalty area.

I was careless just now...

But the pride of being a defensive player made Paul not allow himself to give up defense.

A red lightning pierced the sky!
Paul, who runs without the ball, is getting closer and closer to Lillard, who is running with the ball.

but!

Lillard leaped high and slammed the basketball on the backboard. Paul's heart trembled suddenly!
Without looking back, Paul could guess what was going on behind him.

It's over!

Wang Zelin crossed the paint area in one step, stepped on the reasonable collision area in the second step, jumped up suddenly, caught the rebounded basketball, and dunked with one hand!

The Trail Blazers made the first attack.

Paul under the basket was half a beat too slow to react, unable to dodge in time...

"Oh!"

Paul was knocked directly to the ground.

"Wow oh oh oh!"

The cheers of the Portland fans, who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, resounded through the arena.

"A five-best shot directed by Wang! It's a perfect five-best shot!"

The Blazers live DJ roared loudly.
