NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 298

"Oh ho ho! Facing the defense of the two, Wang chose the most manly way, violently dunking twice!"

In the live broadcast of TNT, Barkley patted his belly with excitement, and the sound of "papapa" made people imagine.

"Charles, have you noticed? The king seems to be a little heavier this season, almost 135 kilograms!" Kenny Smith analyzed.

"Wang's rookie physical test report shows a weight of 130 kilograms, but with his skeleton, it is quite normal for him to gain 5 kilograms in a season," Barkley said.

"That's what surprised me the most. After gaining 5kg, his movement speed didn't slow down. It's incredible!" Affirm Smith exclaimed.

"At present, Wang's offensive performance is obviously easier than last season. I have a hunch that his scoring average this season will definitely exceed 25+. As long as he thinks... God, that is the ranks of top scorers, 25-point club! And he is just a sophomore!"

On the field, 47:47, the two sides tied.

After returning from the timeout, he was dunked once, or twice. The morale of the Knicks was visibly depressed.

In the following time, Anthony reduced his attacks to the basket, but focused on outside jumpers.

After getting the ball, he gradually gave up the idea of ​​leaping over Wang Zelin's head, and the round of attacking the basket directly dropped rapidly, but focused on shooting and running without the ball.

Later, Kenyon Martin attacked at the basket, and Wang Zelin sent another block. After that, the Knicks basically focused on outside shots. Even Kenyon Martin and Andrea Bargnani had to pull out to shoot.

More than two minutes after the official timeout, the game ended quickly. At the end of the first half, at 54:50, the Trail Blazers team led by 4 points away.

The performance of the Knicks tonight is very similar to the game against the Timberwolves. When the main player is absent due to injury, only Anthony can maintain a high level of performance.

As for the others, their shooting touch is average and their scoring efficiency is very low.

This is Terry Stotts' strategy tonight, sticking to other Knicks players and letting Anthony do it alone.

In his view, Anthony's flaws are obvious, blind, easy to get ahead, dislike passing, average defensive attitude...

It can be said that although Anthony is known as an offensive kaleidoscope, the offensive threat he poses to a team is far inferior to Kobe, Durant and others who are also super scorers in the league.

Especially Kobe, even during the period after the Achilles tendon exercise, when his body could no longer keep up with a heart that wanted to move forward, Kobe's attitude on the defensive end was still very correct.

At least, they are serious about defending well.

Anthony belongs to the kind of defense that is obviously capable of doing dirty work, but still can't let go of his body to do these things...

Obviously, as long as he does it, he can make the team better!
The most important thing is that Anthony's offensive threat is always inferior to Kobe's, whether in the hearts of the Trail Blazers coaching staff or the fans.

So far in his career, Anthony's single-game scoring record is only 50 points, even if there have been three games.

On the other hand, Kobe has had 4 consecutive 50+ miracles in one season alone, more than Anthony's eleven regular seasons.

It is reported that since entering the NBA in 1996, Kobe has scored 50+ times in a single game more than 20 times, ranking third in history, second only to the 118 times of the ancient beast coach Chamberlain and the 31 times of the basketball god Jordan.

Anthony didn't rest for 1 minute in the first half, made 19 of 9 shots, scored 25 points and 7 rebounds, scored half of the team's points alone, and shot 47.3%, which is not bad.

But it is very difficult to maintain such offensive efficiency in the second half.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Blazers had just played back-to-back two days ago, although they won in the end, today's course tour made them feel average and their excitement was average.

Otherwise, based on the Knicks' current poor defense, how could the point difference be only 4 points.

王泽林第一节6中4，3罚2中，得到10分4篮板3盖帽，第二节上场3分钟得到了4分2篮1盖帽板，半场得到了14分6篮板4盖帽，拼效率的话，他才是全场最佳！
Came back at halftime and came off the bench.

The lineup sent by the Knicks is Andrea Bargnani, the bully Stoudemire, Jordan JR Smith, former Lakers champion Metta World Peace, Pablo Prigioni.

One thing needs to be said here. Due to the absence of too many personnel, the Knicks currently have only 9 people available in the team, which is indeed a bit sad.

The Trail Blazers are Kevin Garnett + Yi Jianlian's inside combination, and the outside line is the trio of Mo Williams, Connett Lee, and Will Barton.

If Stoudemire is still healthy, maybe he still has to fight.

But the problem is this guy came to the Big Apple, played well for a year and a half, and then started to break down.

After three games in the new season, the scoring average has exceeded double digits, living up to the overlord style of averaging 25 points and 8 rebounds per game.

When the offensive ability plummeted and the defensive ability was not much, Stoudemire's position in the Knicks team became more and more embarrassing. His practicality on the court was not as good as Kevin Garnett, who was a few years older than him!

From the guard combination, to the forward line, and then to the inside combination, they suppressed the opponent in all directions, even greater than the gap between the main players of the two sides.

At 14:5, half a quarter, the Blazers won by 9 points.

In the second half of the quarter, Anthony couldn't stand it anymore and was going to go up to finish the second half of the quarter.

"Wang, Nicholas, come on."

When the Knicks called a timeout, Coach Terry quickly made a substitution deployment, replacing Kevin Garnett and Will Barton with Wang Zelin and Batum.

Garnett performed well in the first half of the quarter. Not only did he score 2+1 at the basket to score 3 points, he also gave Stoudemire a big cap on the defensive end.

On the contrary, the younger Will Barton failed to grasp the two open opportunities, which disappointed Mo Williams. What a good two assists, just disappeared.

The Knicks called a timeout, and Coach Terry knew it without even thinking about it. The opponent would definitely replace Anthony on the field to maintain the situation.

Celestial Dynasty Live Seat.

"Fans and friends, the scene we most want to see happened. During the timeout called by the Knicks coach, the Trail Blazers also made substitutions. The veteran Garnett and the young Barton were replaced, and the king and Batum were brought up..."

"Have you seen it? After three years, two Chinese players once again appeared in the NBA regular season. The last time was the last match between Yao and Yi in the 2010~2011 season; this time, the two Chinese players belonged to the same team!"

Through the broadcasting equipment, Yu Jia spread what happened on the field to the country in one breath.

At the same time, the fans on the other side of the ocean who were watching the game began to get excited, and many media also updated the news immediately, and the search index for the game skyrocketed.

On the Blazers' bench, Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian shook hands and played together.

"That's right, let us look forward to the first regular season cooperation between Zelin and UAE!"

Director Zhang couldn't help being deeply moved by this situation, and explained emotionally.

"Ah Lian feels average today. He made 3 of 1 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 3 points and 1 rebound. His efficiency is a bit worse than the previous game, but he can still appear on the court, which shows that he is considered to be a solid player in the Blazers' bench lineup." Yu Jia laughed.

"UA should have stabilized. These games lasted more than 15 minutes, with an average of 6+3 per game. As a rotation player, the statistics are completely worthy of his playing time, which is very good. I hope he will play better and better in the Trail Blazers, and his playing time will break through 20 minutes as soon as possible. This will be more conducive to his next contract in two years." Zhang Lili said.

Back on the field, the Knicks serve the baseline.

For the Knicks, the backup point guard Pablo continues to play. In fact, whether it is him or the main point guard Bino Udri, the first task on the field is to hand the ball to Anthony, and it doesn't matter who comes.

"Cameron, I need you to score! I believe you have this energy in your body, just like Kobe Bryant. So, tell me loudly, can you do it?"

Before playing, Fisher Fisher, the new head coach of the Knicks, exhorted.

Leaving aside the professionalism of the head coach, at least in terms of chicken soup for the soul, the old fish who is just fledgling in the coaching world is also a good player.

Sure enough, when he heard the head coach directly comparing himself with No. 24 in Los Angeles, Anthony suddenly felt like he had a chicken blood, and shouted: "Of course it's no problem, Mr. Derek!"

"Good! Very energetic! Let's play!"

Fisher stood on tiptoe and patted Anthony's shoulder lightly, his eyes full of approval and expectation.

After serving, Pablo held the ball and pushed the paper money factory, and Anthony made a request from the left-wing three-point line.

Pablo didn't dare to make more moves, and immediately handed over the ball.

Anthony took the ball and habitually posed three threats, ready to break through.

In the first half, he showed his touch and self-confidence, so he directly pulled one on Batum's head.

"what?"

Seeing Anthony retracting his right foot, Batum had a bad idea in his heart. When he saw Anthony take off, he woke up and rushed forward.

It may be too late.

The so-called dry pull, the desired effect is that a beating person is caught off guard.

In the face of a real dry master, even the best defense is in vain. The only thing a defensive player can do is to expect the offensive player to feel bad.

Otherwise, Ganba will not become the iconic killer of Peak McGrady.

Batum looked at the basketball flying in the sky hopefully, but unfortunately, Anthony's touch is quite hot now...

"Shh!"

The basketball went through the net in response, causing a splash of water.

Three point hit!

At 68:58, the point difference was close to 10 points.

"Carmelo~Anthony!!!"

The DJ roared loudly.

"Roar!!!"

When returning to defense, Anthony showed his signature "three-point headshot" celebration action, which attracted cheers from the fans.

Damn, is this the unsolvability of a super scorer?

It's terrible!

At a position three meters away from Batum, Wang Zelin felt a touch of despair in Batum's expression.

"Why are you still stupid, come back to defense! Don't tell me, just a three-pointer will make you lose your fighting spirit."

Wang Zelin stepped forward and slapped Batum on the ass.

"hiss!"

Batum took a breath, then glanced at Anthony's back, gritted his teeth and followed with red eyes.

Trail Blazers attack.

Mo Williams took the ball and went down quickly, using Wang Zelin's pick-and-roll cover to get rid of Pablo, and went straight to the penalty area to kill.

At this moment, he only has the basket in his eyes!
"Hey buddy, I didn't say that, our tactical arrangement doesn't seem to be like this!"

Wang Zelin, whose high position was emptied, was about to receive a return pass from Mo Williams, and when he shot, he found that the latter had already rushed towards the penalty area...

He complained in his heart, but he still hurriedly followed, in case Mo Williams failed to get in, he would help wipe his ass!

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the basket, when everyone thought that Mo Williams was about to make a layup, this guy made a showy maneuver, stopping suddenly for a close-range jumper...

Stoudemire, who stayed at the basket, didn't expect the opponent to come to this move, and he didn't move in a daze, which also showed that Stoudemire's defensive attitude and defensive habits were really average.

No way, when Stoudemire was in the Suns, his main responsibility was to engage in offense. On the defensive end, Sean Marion, an all-around fighter, helped him carry it.

However, just because Stoudemire didn't move, doesn't mean the other players didn't move either.

When the Knicks' rim was in danger, a round and strong man rushed over. He was wearing a blue No. 7 jersey. It was Anthony.

I saw Anthony's big hand suddenly appearing on top of Mo Williams' head, frightening the latter to adjust the angle quickly, and narrowly dodged the block.

"Duang!"

As a result, the ball was a naked strike.

"Cut, let's see who dares to say that I don't defend well!"

Anthony was happy in his heart, and quickly turned around, ready to accept the defensive rebound.

"careful!"

Andrea Bagnani, with his back to the basket under the basket, had a frightened face and roared out.

"Be careful! Be careful of what?"

Just as Anthony had a thought, a huge force hit him from behind, making him unable to stand still, and staggered back to the sidelines.

"boom!"

Anthony heard it, it was the sound of smashing baskets.

Looking back, the Blazers No. 36 is hanging on the rim.

The scene in front of me is so familiar, and the button at the end of the second quarter is so imaginable!

I... have become the top five background boards again!

With the popularity of himself and Wang Zelin, Anthony can guarantee that the latter's previous dunk and the current dunk are definitely among the top five goals of the day.

"Oh! It's the king again, oh, Cameron is really unlucky today!"

Amid the exclamation of the audience, Barkley roared with a smile.

"Beautiful catch! This is Wang's acting moment, with Madison Square Garden owner Carmelo Anthony in the supporting role."

Certainly Smith explained excitedly.

At 70:58, the Blazers led by 12 points.

"Cameron, I think, you should go outside to shoot a jumper. With me under the basket, this is my territory. Your best position is an outside shot!"

After landing, Wang Zelin looked at Anthony, who was still under the basket, and began to stimulate him with trash talk.

"Wang, don't get too complacent, I will return it sooner or later."

Anthony retorted angrily.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and served the baseline ball.
