NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 208 Breaking the record

"This shot is a bit rushed!"

"Yeah, they are in the lead, and they can hit the success rate."

Some shook their heads, puzzled by Harrison Barnes' shot selection.

But at this moment, with a crisp "shua", the basketball passed through the net and finally fell to the ground.

At 71:51, the point difference was pulled to 20!

In addition to the huge point difference, the emotions of the two sides have obviously risen.

Especially Anthony Davis and others on the backward side, their attitudes became completely serious, and they no longer regarded this game as an entertainment game, but regarded it as a truly important game to play.

"Counterattack!"

The Barkley team attacked, and Irving advanced to the frontcourt. When he saw Lillard posting it, his expression was indifferent, and a light flashed in his eyes. He immediately changed direction, very quickly, and Lillard, who had just rushed up and was not standing still, had no time to adjust his footsteps. He could only watch Irving pass by.

One step past Lillard, Irving looked straight ahead~ Andre Drummond guarded the penalty area like an iron tower, waiting for him to challenge in the past.

"If you want to fight, then fight!" Owen was ruthless, without hesitation, let alone retreating, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Drummond.

The next moment, Irving and Drummond collided.

Irving held the ball and made a fake pass to the bottom corner. The still immature Drummond subconsciously glanced in the direction of Irving's pass, allowing Irving to find a chance.

"drink!"

Irving shouted loudly in the air, exerting force in his abdomen, and his whole body twisted in the air like your twist. While his body fell, he cut the ball with his hands to hold it up, and threw it towards the basket at the last moment.

A series of actions took place between lightning and flint. When everyone reacted, there was a "swish" in their ears, the basketball fell into the basket, and Owen immediately fell to the floor.

"nice shot!"

"cool!"

Some professional players sitting on the sidelines also exclaimed along with the fans, admiring it.

This is indeed a good shot. As a guard, when Irving faced the 2-meter Drummond, he did not choose a more sensible dodge and move layup, but chose to carry the opponent hard, and finally scored.

While admiring wise men to make rational judgments, people will not forget the passion brought to them by emotional brave men.

Especially for sports, the brave are definitely more popular than the wise!
All kinds of intrigues in life are already tiring enough. Isn’t the reason why you watch basketball a picture of the most primitive passion and emotion?

I really like intrigue, so it's better to watch the struggle in the business world and the changing situation!
……

"LeBron, Kyrie's talent is very good!" Paul smiled at James.

"Well," James nodded, and said happily: "He, like me, was selected for the All-Star Game in the second grade..."

It can be seen that James has a good feeling for the new leader of the Cavaliers.

Perhaps the knight... might not be a way out.

"A new generation is better than the old!" Anthony said with emotion.

"That's just the future. It's better for us to control the changes in the league now!" Wade said indifferently.

This statement was echoed by the other three members of Banana Boat.

The young people on the court, Wang Zelin, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Lillard...all of them are amazingly talented, and they are all geniuses among geniuses.

But don't forget, even if it is a genius, there is still a gap between a genius and a genius. Zhan, Wei, and An, as representatives of the 03 Platinum Generation's proud sons, don't think that the waves they created when they entered the league back then would be worse than the group in front of them. Young people are weak.

Act like who's not a genius!

On the field, the second quarter was drawing to a close.

The Barkley team adopted the three-point tactics arranged by Barkley during the timeout, increased outside shots, and frequently fought for three-pointers.

Irving and Bill's hands were obviously good, with a total of 5 shots and 3 hits. In addition, Anthony Davis made two tip-ins. At the end of the half, the score was changed to 77:66.

The 20-point difference was chased to 2 points in the last 11 minutes.

……

"Coach, I'm sorry, I failed everyone's efforts..."

Back on the bench, Drummond was visibly depressed.

The short duel between the 12th No. 9 pick and the No. [-] pick ended in Drummond's defeat.

Also in Wave 2, the two teams made a total of 11 crazy shots in the last 10 minutes of the first half, and each offensive round took less than [-] seconds.

In this case, Anthony picked up 4 rebounds and Drummond got 2.

The champion deserves to be the champion!
Drummond once again had a clear understanding: Among the players in the same class, Anthony Davis beat him.

As for Wang Zelin...

In Drummond's view, Wang Zelin is no longer a guy who can be described as a genius, but the latter should be described as a monster.

Compared to the monstrous Wang Zelin, Anthony Davis, who is more talented than himself, seems extraordinarily real.

It seems that my short-term goal has to be changed.

Drummond thought to himself.

"It's okay, we are the ones leading now, I will adjust the lineup back to the starting lineup in the second half, Andre, do you have any objection?"

O'Neill tapped on the tactical board and said.

"no!"

"Okay," O'Neal nodded, and continued, "Everyone cheer me up, I want the game to lose all suspense after the third quarter..."

"Wang, you continue to do a good job protecting the frame..."

"Damien, Klay, you only took 13 three-pointers in the first half, which is not too little. This is far from enough. I will set a goal for you in the third quarter. The two of you took 15 shots..."

"Kemba, Dion, you two are the same. The three-point shots combined are less than double digits. Your minimum goal in the third quarter is 10 shots..."

"I can tell you very responsibly that if you fail to achieve the goal I set, none of you will even think about playing in the fourth quarter. How about it? Do you have confidence?"

In the locker room, the rough voice of the big shark shook the hearts of every rookie.

"No problem, sir!"

Klay Thompson was the first to shout out.

It's just shooting three-pointers, isn't it enough to have hands?
"Can't hear you, come back!"

"do it again!"

O'Neill yelled.

"Yes! No problem! Sir!"

Lillard followed suit.

"Very good! Very spirited!"

Seeing the high morale of the crowd, O'Neill was finally satisfied.

……

Barkley's locker room.

Although they lost by 11 points at halftime, as long as they thought that the original point difference was 20 points, their confidence was rekindled.

"Boys, it seems that our tactics are not wrong!"

"There are only 11 points left, and it is not difficult for us to equalize the score..."

"Facts have proved that we are stronger than the opponent. It was just too careless before, so everyone should pay attention to this game in the second half and don't give them a chance to expand the score!"

After chasing 2 points in 9 minutes, Barkley's impatience gradually calmed down. For this team with young cores gathered together, I know that it is difficult for me to combine them together and play tactics like O'Neal's team.

In fact, Barkley still can't figure out how that guy O'Neill convinced a group of young people who are not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Also play tactics!
And the effect of typing is not bad... This is outrageous.

Shaking off those messy thoughts, it occurred to Barkley that there was one more way he could help the team move forward.

That is - chicken soup!

It turned out that this was exactly what Ou Zhuangyuan wanted.

The proud and arrogant Ou Zhuangyuan has always been a master who takes the soft but not the hard, and Buckley's move is exactly what he wants.

After a cup of chicken soup, Irving felt full of energy. He called TT and Anthony Davis, gathered his teammates together, and discussed the details of the second half.

Irving, who scored 17 points and 5 assists in the first half, initially gained the trust of his teammates. In addition, Anthony Davis, who was also the No.

……

……

……

During the halftime break, the bustle inside the arena did not dissipate.

With the appearance of the cheerleaders, various programs are being staged.

At the same time, major media seized the time to conduct a series of interviews.

"Dayao, the king already got 14 rebounds in the first half, do you think it is possible for him to set a new NBA rookie rebounding record tonight?"

The hunting fox sports reporter asked.

"Looking at the current trend, the possibility is very high!"

Yao Ming said.

"Then Director Zhang, what about you?"

"Hahaha! On this point, I am the same as Dayao. I think that the king is very hopeful to set a new rebounding record tonight. Presumably every Chinese fan is the same as us, looking forward to that moment!"

"Okay, thank you both for the interview!"

……

The intermission ended and the players of both teams returned to the field.

For the Barkley team, a combination of Thomas Jr., Rubio, Alek Shesheved, Kenneth Farrier, and Nikola Vucevic played.

Although Barkley really wants to chase points, this is a rookie game after all, and every rookie has more or less playing time, and he does this to avoid being criticized after the game.

But when Barkley saw the opponent's lineup, he suddenly began to regret it.

Looking around, the O'Neal team sent a combination of Kemba Walker, Lillard, Klay Thompson, Dion and Wang Zelin.

I understand, this is all calculated by the O'Neal team!

Barkley exclaimed in his heart.

At the last moment of the first half, O'Neal replaced the stronger starting lineup and took the second team. It must be to give Wang Zelin and others more rest time.

The most important thing is that O'Neal must know that he will replace players who have not played in the second half...

So despicable!

On the opposite side, O'Neill, who was about to come to chat with Barkley, was puzzled by the latter, so he gave up his plan.

After the short preparation time was over, the referee blew the whistle to restart the game, and the Barkley team served to attack.

Thomas Jr., who was on the All-Star stage for the first time, saw this battle, felt the enthusiasm of more than 3 fans on and off the field, adrenaline... I want to kill them!
"Player: Isaiah Thomas
Height: 175cm
……

Overall rating: 74”

When Isaiah Thomas, who is 1 meters tall, appeared on the court, he instantly became the center of the audience.

Wang Zelin specifically checked the system's strength analysis for this future "Landmark Strongest 175".

The result made him a little disappointed. The comprehensive evaluation of 74 is just the core level of the rotation of ordinary teams.

But as long as he thinks of the height that this little man will reach in the future, respect arises spontaneously in his heart.

1 meters tall, in the giant world of the NBA, to put it bluntly, he is a "third-class disabled"... a disabled person.

In addition, the opponent is the 2011th pick in the second round of 2, which is the last one.

Low pick, short stature, and a scoring-oriented guard, it is simply the standard configuration of "get out after your rookie year".

As a result, no one expected that this guy really has good strength. He averaged 11.5 points per game in his rookie season, and he was the only player among the 11 rookies who scored in double figures.

In the second year, Thomas Jr.'s data rose in an all-round way, further proving that he is absolutely capable of gaining a foothold in the NBA, and thus won the love of the majority of fans.

Inspirational...become the biggest label on him!

Coming to the frontcourt, Thomas Jr. used the pick-and-roll to break through, and after reaching the inside, he split the ball and passed it to Rubio. The latter saw a good opportunity and decisively raised it from outside the three-point line.

"Oops!"

"Watch out!"

Some anxious fans yelled, trying to alert the O'Neal team.

In fact, without their reminding, the reaction of the professional players made them aware of Thomas Jr.'s abacus. Lillard immediately turned and flew towards Rubio, raised his hands, danced in the air, and covered Rubio's head.

"Hey!" European Golden Boy chuckled, retracted the ball, and took a step to the left.

It turned out that the previous actions were all fake moves.

One step away from Lillard's block, Rubio raised the ball again, glanced at the basket, and shot calmly.

"Shh!"

The ball went into the net hollow, and a three-pointer was scored.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the O'Neal team continued the style of play in the first half, relying on Wang Zelin on the inside, Lillard and Klay Thompson on the outside.

The advantage of this is.

Halfway through the third quarter, Wang Zelin's personal rebounds exceeded 20.

17分20篮板6助攻4封盖1抢断！

Wang Zelin filled all his data columns.

Thanks to Kemba Walker, it seems that he can't adapt to such a forceful style of play, otherwise Wang Zelin may have more rebounds.

Still, that's scary enough.

The 20+ rebounds in the rookie game, not to mention the 21st century, even if you look at the history of the NBA rookie game, there are only a handful of them.

The most recent feat of 20+ rebounds in the rookie game was completed by Hood Blair of the Spurs in the 2012 rookie game.

It is worth mentioning that in that All-Star rookie game, Hood Blair became the winner of the most rebounds in a rookie game with 23 rebounds.

But now, Wang Zelin has less than three quarters and has pushed his rebound record to 20, which is only 3 short of Hood Blair's first record in history.

There's still one and a half quarters left!

Three rebounds!

For Wang Zelin, breaking Hood Blair's record and becoming the number one in history is almost a certainty.

The 2013 All-Star Rookie Game started with Wang Zelin breaking through 20 rebounds, and the atmosphere and enthusiasm really reached its peak.

Everyone is looking forward to the birth of a new record.

However, another line of data suddenly appeared on the big screen.

Klay Thompson: Played 22 minutes, made 14 of 9 three-pointers...

A new three-point record?
