NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 255
Fans' crazy praise is certainly gratifying, but Wang Zelin is not addicted to it. When will the Blazers' opponents in the next round come out?

That's right, something has happened recently.

Among the top four teams in the West, the Trail Blazers took the lead to enter the next round, followed by the San Antonio Spurs, who also easily solved the future Kurt and his Warriors 4-0.

Affected by a certain butterfly, the Warriors' first-round opponent in the 13 playoffs changed from the Denver Nuggets to the San Antonio Spurs.

Facing the sophisticated GDP combination, the ending can be imagined.

The Splash Brothers who were still in development were packed and sent home gorgeously by the old hooligans.

Now, instead, the No. [-] Thunder team and the No. [-] Clippers failed to complete the sweep.

The Grizzlies and Mosaics faced the critical fourth game that was about to be swept out, both made efforts to successfully defend the home court.

Wang Zelin remembers clearly that in the 13 NBA playoffs in his previous life, the Clippers played the Grizzlies in the first round of a series. In that series, Paul even contributed an unforgettable 0.1-second lore... Although this did not affect the final outcome, the Grizzlies won four games in a row after losing two games first, and entered the next round.

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, the Grizzlies couldn't hide their decline in this life, and they were almost won by the Clippers 3-0, but the Grizzlies are not vegetarians.

Since then, the Clippers have brought the series back to the Staples Center.

The situation is similar for the Mosaic team.

In order to refuse to sweep away, Gao Fushuai broke out!
After the whole game, he scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Compared with Harden, who was in foul trouble and made 12 of 4 shots in the game, only scored 15 points and... 10 turnovers, the former played the style of the real boss.

In addition, another insider of the team, Omer Asik, also performed quite well, scoring a double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds.

If the fourth game hadn't been for Gao Fushuai's sudden effort to disrupt the Spurs' rhythm, it would have been 4:0.

Although both the Warriors and the Trail Blazers have worked hard to help the team avoid a sweep, unfortunately, in the eyes of the outside world, these two teams are just the last flashbacks.

They only got one win in their two home games, so it's still worth it to go back to other people's home games.

According to the rules of the playoffs, if nothing else, the Blazers' opponent in the next round will be the thriving Oklahoma City Thunder.

Now the Thunder and Mosaic are playing 3:1...

In other words, at least until the fifth game of the series on May 5, the Blazers' next opponent will come out.

For the team, it is undoubtedly a good thing. Wang Zelin and others got a full three days of rest.

If the bearded player can make persistent efforts and win another game like he remembers, then the Blazers can rest for a few more days.

Therefore, after returning to Portland Airport at 29 a.m. on the 10th, the coaching staff announced on the chartered flight that the team will have a three-day holiday, but considering the situation of some players, the arena will be open to all players throughout the day during the period, and food and accommodation will be included. Trainers and nutritionists will provide 12-hour personal service...

After returning home, Wang Zelin rested for a while, finished his lunch, and began to think about his opponent in the next round.

There were three full days of rest. On the first day, Wang Zelin did not prepare a training plan, so he decided to accompany his family first, so as to relieve the tense nerves in his mind.

Even now, recalling the two games played by the Denver Nuggets, Wang Zelin still feels that winning was a bit too easy.

Especially in the crucial battle of the fourth game, Wang Zelin and his teammates were ready for the Nuggets' counterattack, but they didn't expect the opponent to die so thoroughly, with no resistance at all.

Therefore, now Wang Zelin can clearly feel that both himself and other teammates have begun to drift.

They knew very well that their opponent in the next game would be the even stronger Thunder team, but they still couldn't help feeling high-spirited.

This is the confidence brought by the 4:0 sweep, and it is also inseparable from the media's fanning the flames.

After the third game, the media began to praise wildly, focusing on Wang Zelin's stable double-double per game, which made him feel a little flustered.

Such is the inferiority of human beings, it is difficult to resist!

Soon Wang Zelin opened the personal data panel and looked at it. He calmed down instantly, and he was still a loser with an evaluation of 84 points.

If you don't even have an All-Star player evaluation of 85 points, don't keep thinking about shoulder to shoulder with the Suns.

……

The days that followed seemed to be very regular.

Rest for two days first, and follow the team to Oklahoma to watch the battle between the Thunder and the Mosaic team on Tianwangshan on May 5.

After all, live broadcasting is always better than AV-quality video.

一如脑海中的记忆一样，在林书豪缺阵的情况下，哈登三分球9投7中拿到了31分8个篮板，携手阿西克的21分11篮板和高富帅帕森斯的27分10个篮板，帮助马赛克2:3咬住比分。

When Westbrook was injured by Beverly in the last game and missed the game, Durant once again showed his stamina nakedly in front of everyone today...it is really short.

36 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, the quasi-triple-double data looks very luxurious!

However, all the personal scores are from the first three quarters, and the last quarter is from the point guard...

"We can rest for a few more days."

"It seems that the so-called Wang Zha combination is not very good!"

"Wang, the Mosaic team has such a strong inside combination, are you ready?"

"..."

All the conversations of his teammates fell into Wang Zelin's ears. Although he knew that everyone was joking, after all, there was no team in history that fell behind 0:3 and then came back, but the pride and complacency in the hearts of his teammates could no longer be stopped.

It seems that the Thunder and Mosaic in front of them are just stepping stones no matter who they meet, and they are no longer taken seriously by the pioneers.

Wang Zelin wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't know where to start.

Others are not like myself, there is a system panel where you can see your true strength, and then be alert to yourself at all times.

forget it.

Just do your best, why think so much.

My career is still long, and I'm only in the first grade, and I don't know how many setbacks I will face in the future, so I still have to relax.

Looking back on the journey, from the 57 wins in the regular season to the sweeping advancement of the first round of the playoffs, that is already a thing of the past.

Focusing on the present, he will have a clear conscience if he plays well in the second series against the Thunder.

……

After resting for two days, Wang Zelin watched the latest NBA results on the Internet, mainly looking at the teams he followed.

Back at the Toyota Sports Center in Houston, all members of the Mosaic team came up with full firepower and launched a wave of 15:0 attacks, leading 15:4 in one fell swoop.

And their strategic intentions are also very clear, to defend Durant with all their strength, even at the expense of giving his teammates a chance.

The previous two games were very successful, and today's start is the same.

At this moment, Kevin Martin, the legendary mosaic veteran, showed his power.

Facing the former owner, Kevin Martin, who came off the bench, was relentless and scored 25 points, giving Durant strong support.

Kevin Martin's explosion eventually led to the collapse of the mosaic in the final quarter. Durant led the Thunder to the second round with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

It finally came out.

After resting for almost a week, Wang Zelin's bones were almost rusted.

It turns out that sometimes sweeping is not necessarily a good thing.

After resting for too long, maybe the feeling of hand is gone.

But seeing the fighting spirit of his teammates still high, a huge stone in Wang Zelin's heart was slowly lowered.

Not so much.

……

The happy days passed quickly, and on the evening of May 5th, the second round of the NBA playoffs officially began.

The first round of the Eastern Conference is average, except for the Bulls who beat the Nets at 99:93 in the early game and broke the Nets 4:3 to advance. The other three series are crushing games.

In the second round, the degree of attention suddenly increased.

Regular season champion Miami Heat VS Black Friday team Chicago Bulls.

What is astonishing is that Nate Robinson, the little potato of the Bulls, scored 2 points and 7 assist in the last 1 minutes, becoming the hero of the Bulls comeback.

小土豆的27分9次助攻力亚勒布朗詹姆斯的24分8个篮板7次助攻，当之无愧的全场最佳。

What made countless Bulls fans excited about it was this hot man-Jimmy Butler.

James, who had just won his fourth career MVP two days ago, played 48 minutes and contributed 4 points and grabbed a game-high 21 rebounds.

Especially that cool face of Jordan, I don't know how many old fans are crazy about it.

No, it should be said that Jimmy Butler is Jordan tonight.

"My Nima!"

Not only the fans were excited, but Wang Zelin, who was watching the game at home, was stunned.

Forgive him for not being a Bulls fan. I have no impression of this game at all. I never thought that the Bulls would be so fierce.

The Bulls beat the Heat 93:86, who would have thought of such a script before the game.

Can it be black to the end?

This is the simple wish of every fan who watched the game.

After turning off the TV, Wang Zelin was still flashing the footage of the game between the Bulls and the Heat in his mind.

He specifically looked through the relevant records in the system space. The simple wishes of the fans have not been realized. Next, James will lead the Heat to win 4 games in a row and easily enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Bulls without Rose seem to be forever short of breath.

……

On May 2013, 5, Wang Zelin followed the team to Oklahoma City.

The series between the No. [-] Thunder team in the West and the No. [-] Trail Blazers in the West finally sounded.

9998 ~
Pit father ah this!

After waiting for several days, Wang Zelin's fan value is still one step away from [-] million.

Just a little bit away, he will be able to unlock the next Purple Diamond star card...

It's only 2!

In today's situation, Wang Zelin only has two words - light pain!
"Wait and see!"

Wang Zelin withdrew his mind and turned his attention back to the evening game.

The Trail Blazers have not reached the second round for a long time. The last time was when Huang Mambaroy led the team.

Arriving in Oklahoma at 10:[-] in the morning, the bus of the Trail Blazers had just entered the gate of the Energy Arena, the Thunder's home stadium.

In addition, there was a long-awaited wave of Thunder fans waving banners and making international gestures in an attempt to hold down the momentum of the Blazers in this way.

"It's really crazy!"

After getting out of the car, Wang Zelin looked back at the Thunder fans who were still cursing, and felt emotional.

"The Thunder are different from the Nuggets. They just reached the Finals last year. The head star Kevin Durant's strength can even rank in the top three in the league. The sense of belonging and cohesion of the fans far exceeds that of the Nuggets. It is normal to have such a performance."

Aldridge patted Wang Zelin on the shoulder, turned his head and walked to the away locker room.

call!

The more you shout, the more excited I am.

Wang Zelin suppressed the restlessness in his heart and left following the footsteps of the large army.

……

At 6:30 p.m., the players of the two teams entered the field, and the main players of each other stared at each other.

The battle ~ is about to start!
