NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 194 The Beard Who Wants to Win Once

"Wang, you are in good shape today!" Aldridge said to Wang Zelin when he retreated. The two have been working together for almost half a season, and he has gradually figured out the rules of Wang Zelin's game state.

He knew that generally judging from Wang Zelin's aura and desire ~ this oriental man is probably going to explode again!
"Average~ third in the league!"

Wang Zelin replied confidently.

You are so welcome.

Aldridge withdrew his gaze and quickly settled down.

Mosaic attack, the first ball was guided by James Harden.

Harden took a step past Matthews with a screen, broke through from the left and accelerated to the free throw line.

Aldridge on the inside didn't hesitate, and decisively gave up on Patterson's defense, and came to defend Harden. Matthews didn't struggle, and decisively switched to Patterson.

Patterson is a space-type four player with certain abilities, and Matthews just needs to pay attention to the former's shooting.

Among all active No. 5.8 players, Harden ranks second with an average of 6 assists per game... the first is the [-] assists of the old Los Angeles blacksmith.

In addition, Harden is a player known for his teamwork and selflessness~ When everyone on the scene thought that Harden would choose to split the ball to the outside, or end the offense with his extremely good mid-range shots.

Harden chose a small change of direction to shake away Aldridge and successfully broke through from the latter's left side.

At this time, Wang Zelin was taken away from the penalty area by Asik, and the Blazers basket was empty.

Showtime!

Harden stomped on the floor, jumped, and soared.

"boom!"

Harden held the ball in the air and pulled it back. The heavy tomahawk dunked, and the smashed basket buzzed.

Anyway, he is also from Tanhuaxiu. Compared with physical talent, Harden is really better than the second brother who is invincible in the world.

Harden, who had just left the Thunder and Ren Du's two lines, was only one line away from being completely opened up, and his instinct for aerial work has not been forgotten.

If you want to get through completely, you will need the assistance of General Qiao next year...

2: 2.

"James!!! Harden!!!"

The home DJ of the Mosaic team immediately cheered for the team leaders.

Compared with Wang Zelin's dunks at the beginning of the game, Harden's aerial battle ax is also full of domineering.

As soon as the benchmark figures of the two teams came on the field, they showed the fans such a domineering start.

Encouraged by the live DJ, many people in the arena stood up and chanted Harden's name.

See, we also have James~

"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooese

Charles Barkley of TNT TV also shouted excitedly.

"This tomahawk is indeed a bit of LeBron's taste, it should be said that it is James!" Kenny Smith echoed.

Tonight is China's New Year's Eve. The game between the Mosaic team and the Trail Blazers will be broadcast live on all meters in addition to China Sports Station.

After dunking and landing, Harden breathed a sigh of relief, bent his arms to show his two unicorn arms to the fans.

The start was so explosive, and the following time continued the rhythm of the game with offense and offense.

The Trail Blazers were frighteningly efficient in the first quarter, scoring 6 points on 23% shooting and 14 of 30 shots.

In the first quarter, Wang Zelin scored 6 points in 5 shots and 10 hits, with a shooting percentage as high as 83.3%. Tonight he was completely opened up.

In view of the super high shooting percentage of the two teams, although Wang Zelin was in a brave state, he "only" got 5 rebounds.

However, the mosaic side is even more exaggerated.

全队20次出手13次命中，投篮命中率高达65%，哈登以100%的命中率单节轰下10分5助攻和1篮板1抢断。

Among them, the Mosaic team took 9 three-pointers and hit 5 times, with a hit rate as high as 55.6%.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers made 4 of 1 three-pointers, and their shooting percentage was only 25%.

In addition to the smooth confrontation between the two teams, a small incident happened in the first quarter.

An important substitute for the Mosaic team, Tony Douglas, injured his waist in an attack and left the game.

From a rational point of view, it is a good thing for the Blazers.

Tony Douglas came to Houston in a trade between the Kings and Mosaic at the end of 12. In 18 minutes of playing time, he averaged 8.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, especially his 37.7% three-pointers. An important part of the Mosaic second team.

From an emotional point of view, no one wants athletes to suffer from injuries.

"It's really unexpected. The Mosaic team led the Blazers by 4 points after the first quarter. It seems that the cheering has worked, hahaha!"

Ma Jian smiled lightly.

"Director Zhang, what do you think?" Director Ma turned to look at Weiping Bryant.

"Although Mosaic is in the lead for the time being, but their hidden dangers are not small," Director Zhang said: "In the first quarter, Mosaic hit 4 more three-pointers than the Trail Blazers, but they only led by 4 points, which fully shows their defense inside. How bad it was."

"It's impossible for the touch to last forever. When the Mosaic team's touch declines, it's a great opportunity for the Blazers to overtake."

The game restarted, and No. 7 of the Mosaic team advanced forward with the ball.

Apart from the Blazers, Jeremy Lin may be the biggest beneficiary of Tony Douglas' unexpected departure.

In view of the overlap between Jeremy Lin and Harden, the former's playing time has become less and less, and his status in the team has become more and more embarrassing.

In comparison, Tony Douglas, who is good at shooting three-pointers, is more comfortable with Harden.

em...Harden is very comfortable.

Now that Tony Tony Douglas is injured and retired, the Mosaic coach has to increase Jeremy Lin's playing time.

Jeremy Lin had a rare opportunity. After playing, he was extremely courageous. He went inside and caused a defensive foul by Aldridge.

"Hu! Hu!..."

Jeremy Lin gasped and stood at the free throw line to adjust his breath, and finally made two free throws.

30: 36!

"Jamelin played tough! The Blazers are 6 points behind."

Charles Barkley exclaimed.

"Don't forget that tonight is also a yellow...Asian derby!"

Kenny Smith suddenly paused while talking, and reorganized the language ~ it is better to mention less about the color.

……

Trail Blazers attack.

Lillard received the serve and advanced halfway.

In the low position on the left, Wang Zelin made a gesture to Lillard~~~ for the ball!

He performed well in the first quarter, and Lillard was also happy to pass the ball.

"The king asked for the ball again~ Mosaic double-teamed at the first time~ They knew that the king was difficult to deal with..." Director Ma roared.

"Hey! But they were fooled!" Director Zhang said immediately.

After Wang Zelin made a pass gesture, he immediately bypassed Asik and rushed to the basket.

Parsons immediately went deep into the double-team, and the original 32-zone defense position became a 23-zone defense.

But Lillard's pass didn't arrive for a long time, and the ball was passed to the outside attempt.

This is the typical tactical strategy represented by the tactical gesture Wang Zelin just made.

Sometimes in addition to holding the ball, running without the ball can also take advantage of its own deterrence on the offensive end to better create open opportunities for teammates.

Harden immediately knew something was wrong, and quickly rushed to Batum from the top of the arc.

But it was too late, Batum did not live up to the team's tactical arrangements, the outside hand went up and down, and the three-pointer was easily accounted for.

At 33:36, the Blazers recovered three points.

There is one thing to say, Batum's outside shooting ability, looking at the league's many outside players can also be among the first-class.

44% of the overall field goal percentage, 38.7% of the three-point field goal percentage ~ not low among outside players.

"The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is too balanced. Wang Zelin on the inside has a good offense and defense. Although Aldridge's defense is not good on offense, he can also rank at the average level of the league; Lillard, Matthews and Batum on the outside are three. The division of labor is clear, no wonder their season can create such a brilliant record." Kenneth Smith said.

"That's right. Compared with the Thunder, I'm actually more optimistic about the future of the Trail Blazers. In addition to being younger, the main players of the Trail Blazers can form a better complement." Charles Barkley said.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Across the ocean.

Many fans who were surfing the Internet and watched the game in real time pressed buttons on the message boards one after another!

"Are you kidding me? The Thunder were last year's runner-up! How can the Blazers compare with my turtle?"

"Upstairs, don't forget Thor, he is the boss of Thunder."

"I didn't say no!"

"..."

What is absolutely unexpected is that the controversy about whether the Blazers can match the Thunder has ended in a hurry before it even started.

Netizens have been discussing who is the king of the Wang Zha combination, Durant or Westbrook.

It can also be seen from this that Durant's character is really not very suitable for being the boss.

Especially under the backdrop of Westbrook with a tough personality~~~
……

Toyota Center.

Mosaic offense, Jeremy Lin and Parsons broke through after a high pick-and-roll to no avail, and passed back to Harden on the outside, who missed a ball from the outside.

The basketball bounced back, and there were loud shouts from under the basket.

"mine!"

"mine!"

"Stop arguing, it's mine!"

Eventually, a yellow arm touches Xianden, who is...

"Wow, the rebound was protected by Wang~ His take-off height is too exaggerated~ Others are like dwarfs compared to him!"

Charles Barkley explained aloud.

There is harm only when there is comparison!
There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

"rush!"

"Back to defense!"

The voices of Wang Zelin and Harden sounded almost at the same time, and Batum and Lillard on the left and right directly shifted gears and charged towards the Mosaic team.

As for basketball ~ they know that as long as they run in place, Wang Zelin will come.

Sure enough, "Whoosh!" The basketball took an arc and cut through the sky, and landed steadily near the free throw line of the Mosaic team.

Lillard looked at the basketball that flew in front of him, and couldn't help admiring Wang Zelin's "handwork is really fine!"

Catching the basketball rebounded from the ground, Lillard took three steps directly, accelerated the sprint to the basket, and completed the dunk.

One point left!
"No matter how many times I watch it, Wang's long throw is always so mesmerizing. It's hard to imagine that this quarterback pass came from a seven-footer!"

At this time, even the home DJ of the Mosaic team couldn't help admiring.

Harden controlled the ball from the backcourt to the top of the arc, and Matthews watched Harden's movements closely.

This bearded player is known as the new-generation player who is most likely to compete for the league's first shooting guard position after Kobe Bryant.

Matthews' defense is not top-notch in the league, it can only be regarded as good. A defender of this level is a dish in Harden's eyes.

After changing directions continuously, Harden suddenly accelerated and broke through to hit the inside line. Aldridge, who was near the high position, didn't react.

Wang Zelin had been prepared for a long time, and he took a step forward, and Harden jumped straight to face the defense.

After a physical confrontation with Wang Zelin, Harden received the ball sideways in the air and squeezed out space for a layup.

This is where Harden's strength and tonnage are on display.

"Boom~shua!" The basketball flew out of Harden's hands, hit the edge of the inner circle of the backboard and fell into the net pocket.

At this time, the referee pointed at Wang Zelin.

"Tick!!!"

Also got a defensive foul.

"Wang, you are indeed very strong, but this time~ the only one who wins is me!"

Harden panted for a while after landing, walked over, turned to look at Wang Zelin, and said coldly.

After losing to the Trail Blazers by a large score several times in a row, Harden is bound to find his way back tonight.

"Ha ha!"

Looking at Harden who was blowing his beard and staring at him, Wang Zelin suddenly felt that the beard was cute.

The title of cute god is also very suitable for him.

"Damn it! You don't want me!"

Harden was very clear about the smile on No. 36, he was clearly watching children playing, and Ha felt very angry.

"James, it's time for a free throw!"

At this time, the voice of the referee came.

"Oh, ok ok!"

Only then did Harden come to his senses, he still had to be punished.

A little embarrassing!
"Hahaha, Mosaic's beard is quite interesting!"

Such a stupid and cute Harden made director Zhang laugh out loud.

"It's pretty cute!"

The horse guides.

"Shh!"

Free throws are undoubtedly the housekeeping skill of "one point of human beings". After receiving the ball from the referee, Harden took two shots calmly and made a steady hit.

At 35:40, Mosaic led by 4 points at home.

"And one! Our leader hit an extremely tough shot, and the victory is destined to belong to Aerospace City!"

"Ow!!!!"

The point difference was opened again, and the Toyota Center gave out cheers like a tsunami.

"7 points on 5 of 13 shots, James Harden performed very eye-catching tonight!" Barkley explained.

"In the previous two games between the Trail Blazers and Mosaic, Wang completely broke out. It seems that this time it is James Harden's turn!" Kenny Smith said.

"Hey buddy, you forgot one thing, Wang's performance can not lose to James Harden at all," Buckley shrugged.

"It seems that both of them broke out, so Charles, who do you think has the higher score after the game?"

"It will take time to tell us the answer!" Barkley was worried that there was a pit in it, and did not give a clear opinion.

It's a pity, this fat man has learned to be smart!

Kenny Smith regretted a little, and focused on the game on the field.

The Blazers attacked, Lillard made a three-pointer after covering the screen, and Wang Zelin grabbed the offensive rebound and made a dunk.

Now that someone in Ha has sent out the gauntlet, it's time for him to respond.

"I have to add that Mosaic's basket will probably suffer again tonight."

The scene on the field made Charles Barkley's eyes shine.

Looking back, Mosaic attacks.

After Harden broke through, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot, which once again widened the point difference.

Ha, someone~ I really want to win tonight!
　I'm starting to prepare for the homework of the final exam, and I'm going to be released soon...
