NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 222 The first appearance of Wang's iron elbow

"Wang Zelin played low post singles, and JaVale McGee stayed close... Oh, he was cheated, Wang Zelin turned around and made a layup, beautiful! My God! Wang Zelin scored the 22nd point of the game, and he still shot 100%!"

On the commentary stage, Weber stood up and applauded Wang Zelin.

Just halfway through the second quarter, Wang Zelin succeeded in all 4 individual singles without exception, blowing up the Nuggets inside with his own strength.

"Shet!" McGee growled. With his optimist personality, he couldn't help but blurt out rough words after being repeatedly harassed, and there were a few slang words that Wang Zelin couldn't understand.

"The Nuggets are in big trouble. Obviously, not only did they not play the fast break they are proud of, but they were dragged into the quagmire of the opponent's positional battle, but they didn't have enough good interior defenders.

Coach George Karl has to change his strategy. In this situation, the Nuggets are destined to not go far. "

As soon as Miller finished speaking, the Nuggets kicked the baseline ball. Ty Lawson just got inside with the ball and was blocked by Matthews who rushed over.

Matthews is 1 meters tall and is considered a short shooting guard, but in front of Ty Lawson who is 93 meters tall, it is still an insurmountable mountain.

Therefore, Ty Lawson chose to split the ball, ready to find Iguodala who cut in.

However, as soon as he passed the ball, the Blazers' "French Pippen" Batum stretched out his arm in advance like a prophet.

What he was waiting for was now.

Batum steals the ball before Iguodala catches it, then quickly reverses.

"You are blind!"

Iguodala cursed in his heart, stepped forward, and chased after him.

Batum pushed all the way to the basket. He knew that Iguodala behind him was not easy to mess with, so he made a slow three-step layup, stuck the rhythm, and avoided the block.

"Dude, you're really smart!"

Wang Zelin couldn't help feeling that he deserved to be the Mr. Yiyuan who was able to sign a five-year 5 million yuan contract. Although he hadn't reached the peak period of the Hornets, he could see the whole picture at a glance.

Batum in the Hornets period is definitely not just a 78 strength evaluation, it is very likely to be a quasi-All-Star level of 80-84.

Batum just signed a four-year 4 million contract with the Trail Blazers last year. Thinking of the salary explosion era in the next few years, Wang Zelin had to praise the team's management again.

Another teammate, Matthews, who averaged 13+3+3 per game, his contract will not expire until 15 years, plus himself and Lillard's rookie bonus.

To put it boldly, even if the Blazers sign another All-Star player back during the offseason, it will be fine.

Maybe... I can win the championship this year!
Wang Zelin, who knows the future direction, knows exactly how strong the teammates in front of him will be in the future.

Lillard ~ future first-line point guard in the league, Aldridge ~ active first-line power forward, Batum and Matthews have the ability to average 15 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists + 1 steal per game in their peak period, and these two are not far from their peak period...

Coupled with the fact that I am a hanger on B, maybe I really have something to do.

When he came back to his senses, Wang Zelin temporarily blocked this wonderful expectation. Of course he knew that it was unlikely, because he and Lillard still needed to grow.

Besides, the 13-year peak James and the Spurs' gang of increasingly coquettish old monsters are not easy to mess with.

However, there is a good saying...

If a person has no dreams, how is it different from a salted fish?
……

With only 4 minutes left in the second quarter, at 51:39, the Nuggets trailed by 12 points, and George Karl called the second timeout of the game in this quarter.

This kind of offensive efficiency is what he hopes to see.

As a famous NBA coach, George Karl can clearly see that the fast break whirlwind he is proud of is completely restricted, and the source lies in the No. 36 of the Blazers.

That giant from the celestial dynasty, the dominance in the interior is too terrifying!
Why can he easily disintegrate McGee and Farid like a bulldozer?George Karl felt that it was necessary to check the bench press strength of the yellow-skinned center opposite him after he went back.

However, he now needs to think of other ways to solve the inside problem, for example, get Wang Zelin off the field.

He has been playing in the NBA since the 60s. In nearly half a century of coaching career, George Karl has seen how many teams' coaching staff or players take extra measures to win.

George Karl, who played for the San Antonio Spurs as a player, is inevitably tainted with such a tradition.

From a player to a head coach, what George Karl wants most has always remained the same, and that is victory.

As long as he can win, no matter what means he uses, the winner is the greatest truth.

Denver Nuggets bench.

"What are you all doing? Sleepwalking? Your performance looks like a piece of shit in my eyes! Shit!" After finishing speaking, George Karl yelled at Wang Zelin's defender McGee: "Javier, can you be tougher?

How did you do it?If you can't let go of the opponent, then foul, give me a hard foul!Do you still need me to teach you this point? "

Since he was diagnosed with throat cancer in the 09-10 season, George Karl's hot temper has been restrained a lot, but the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. When he is really angry, he can't control so much.

"Coach, I..." McGee was stunned into silence.

Fortunately, McGee didn't see George Karl when he was healthy. At that time, he was the "NBA Roaring King", and sometimes even the team management couldn't stand it.

"Kufos has already made three fouls, and he won't play until the second half. You will stick to the opponent later, and don't give him any space to shoot!"

"But that guy, what if he breaks through? His strength is too strong..." McGee asked.

"Breakthrough?" George Karl said darkly: "Then you will foul, foul mercilessly, understand?"

"This, isn't it?"

McGee, who has a GPA of 4.3 (out of 5 points) in his senior year, is by no means as bad as he showed on the court.

On the contrary, McGee's intelligence is definitely the strongest among NBA players. He has profound attainments in current affairs and religion. Iguodala has said more than once that McGee is one of the smartest people he knows.

So McGee instantly heard the coach's implication.

But let him injure a player for a victory, this kind of thing he can't do.

"Are you the head coach or am I the head coach? If you let No. 36 on the opposite side score casually, you won't even think about playing this season."

Just to be on the safe side, Georgeka turned his head and said to the half-orc Farid: "Koness, if Javier doesn't do a good job of defending, you must always pay attention to defending, do you hear me clearly?"

"Got it, sir!"

Farid replied with heavy breaths.

Seeing this, George Karl nodded.

The reason why Farid in front of him is called a half-orc by the outside world is that in addition to his excellent physical fitness and explosive style of play, he also has a style of "dare to fight and fight hard".

of course.

For George Karl, what he is most satisfied with is that Fareed obeys his own words.

At the end of the bench, Iguodala, who had heard everything in his ears, couldn't help frowning.

Suddenly, he became more and more aware of why he couldn't get along with this nugget.

Because from top to bottom, from coaches to players, most people are not the same as themselves.

No, there is one more person.

Walking over, Iguodala patted the distressed McGee: "Man, don't think so much, just play well!"

"It's you!" Seeing Iguodala, the team's most compatible person, McGee smiled and said, "I understand."

From beginning to end, he was a ball player!

beep~~~
In the last 4 minutes of the first half, the two teams played again.

Wells Chandler becomes DeAndre Miller, Anthony Randolph becomes Fareed the half-orc.

"Hey, you, uh..."

As soon as he came up, McGee leaned against Wang Zelin and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"No, no."

In the end, McGee still didn't dare to tell Wang Zelin about George Karl's arrangement.

He still has parents, wife and children to support, and he offended George Karl. With the prestige of the other party in the NBA, just put a few words, it is difficult for a small role like him to get along in the NBA.

Andre Miller played a role when he came on the court, scoring a three-pointer from the left corner, and the point difference was instantly narrowed to less than 10 points.

"mine!"

Matthews raised his hand to indicate that he was indeed careless just now.

The teammates didn't take it seriously, Wang Zelin served the ball, Lillard advanced quickly, Batum ran without the ball, dived to the basket after a chance, Lillard decisively handed the ball.

Batum dribbled the ball in the middle for a layup and made a gorgeous 180-degree turn, but McGee's supplementary defense.

However, the basketball just rolled around on the rim, and then wobbled and fell out, and the fans exclaimed.

"Rebound!"

"mine!"

A figure in the distance was getting closer and closer. Farid, who was thinking about jumping, thought of something, and deliberately slowed down.

Wang Zelin didn't do what he thought, and took off to protect the rebound. On the other side, McGee's pupils contracted. He still saw the scene he didn't want to see.

Farid suddenly moved forward and quietly placed his big feet on the space where Wang Zelin landed.

"careful!"

"King of Heaven, be careful!"

Unable to resist the condemnation of conscience, McGee and Iguodala spoke at a critical moment.

"..."

There were two shouts from behind, and Wang Zelin's hairs stood on end instantly, as if to indicate that something big was about to happen.

dangerous ~ dangerous ~
Looking down, a pair of feet wearing Adidas Logo sneakers came into view. Fareed, who sneered at the corner of his mouth, watched Wang Zelin fall rapidly.

This grandson dares to make small moves!

After being dazed for a while, Wang Zelin's eyes were sharp, and his powerful waist and abdomen adjusted his balance, but it was too late.

What is Wang Zelin's personality?He is by no means a nice man like Yao Ming.

It is said that the strong are the first to strike, and the last to suffer!
Although he lost the opportunity to strike first, Wang Zelin didn't want to let go of the backhand, and raised his right elbow high before landing...

First there was a "click", and Wang Zelin's sole came into close contact with Farid's ankle. Farid had no time to rejoice, and an elbow fell from the sky.

"Snapped!"

Fareed didn't expect Trail Blazers No. 36 to dare to elbow him. He was completely caught off guard and was stabbed hard on the chest by the opponent's right shoulder.

"Ah... ah!!!"

With a weight of 130 kilograms and upper body strength of 93, he carried an unparalleled downward momentum. With one move, Fareed, who is known as a tough guy, turned pale instantly. He felt as if the ribs in his chest had been hit hard by a golf club. He couldn't help bending down and kneeling on the ground amidst the pain of losing his voice and cracking his lungs.

Gently touched the place where it was hit with his right hand, and there was a small hole in the bump!
"Fa Fa Fa..."

As soon as Falk reached his throat, the severe pain in his chest made him out of breath.

"Beep beep!!"

The referee blew his whistle immediately.

"Oh!!!!"

The Rose Garden Arena suddenly screamed, no one knew what happened on the court, and the Portland fans only saw the newcomer they were proud of suddenly collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, before they had time to be angry, there was an even more mournful wail from No. 35 of the Nuggets.

Everyone was stunned.

"Hiss, fuck me!"

Wang Zelin on the other side was not much better. He only heard a slight tearing sound after landing, and suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his ankle!

However, when Farid's ghostly scream came from Wang Zelin's ear, he felt much better, and even the severe pain from his ankle eased a lot.

"TMD! You call you a horse!"

TNT commentary seats.

"Oh ho ho ho! Reggie, what happened on the field? Both Wang and Koness are yelling!" Webb was at a loss.

"Wait, watch the replay!"

Reggie Miller was also very strange.

The referee at the scene stopped the game in time, the security guards quickly separated the players of the two teams, and the team doctors of the two teams quickly stepped forward for inspection.

And when the photographer at the scene showed Fareed, the Nuggets team doctor had already lost his jersey, and his chest was purple in a large area. The most serious part was purple with black, and it was also mixed with blood.

The tragic situation made some ladies at the scene couldn't help covering their eyes.

As for Wang Zelin.

His condition was much better than that of Fareed. With the help of his team's team doctor, he stood up and staggered off the court.

At this time, the Blazers coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to be able to walk, it's good to be able to walk..."

Being able to walk back to the locker room by himself shows that Wang Zelin's situation is not that bad.

"Damn, this is a malicious foul, a second-degree malicious foul, the rookie on the opposite side should be directly expelled, I request a suspension..."

Nuggets coach George Karl yelled at the assistant referee on the sideline not far away.

He is almost remorseful now, but what he hates even more is Farid's lack of strength.

Judging from the rookie's reaction, this wave of one-for-one... Lost!
"Mr. Carl, we don't want to see this kind of thing. What you have to do now is to keep calm, otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that the referee won't give you a T!" The line referee suggested seriously.

"My players are in normal self-defense actions. There is no point of focus when they fall. Everyone knows that the most important thing is to keep their heads and upper body."

On the Trail Blazers side, Coach Terry went out in person and yelled at the referee.

And just during this pause, the big screen on the court began to play the scene just now repeatedly!
Through the playback on the big screen above, the commentator and the audience also understood what happened just now.

"Deserved!"

"Deserved!"

"..."

The Portland fans shouted in unison, and the three referees were under great pressure.

"Obviously, it was the villains on the other side who filed the complaint first, and their No. 35 first acted against professional ethics. My players did it out of self-preservation..." Coach Terry was relieved, but kept nagging.

"Sir, please return to your seat, our referee team will give a fair penalty!" The referee replied.

"Hahaha, it seems that the Nuggets are in bad luck. Not only is the main power forward injured, and the return date is uncertain, I am afraid that they will also be suspended and fined by the league after the game." Weber teased.

"Fuck! Your Majesty is really fierce!"

"This tantrum!"

On the sidelines, the reporters from China were shocked by the scene on the field.

Accustomed to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's modest and gentlemanly demeanor, Wang Zelin's irritable performance made everyone unable to accept it immediately.

But then, they felt very happy and refreshed...

what happened?
