NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 363 Bringing You Back to the Passionate Basketball of the Last Century
Batumga made a free throw and the Blazers led by 3 points.

In the frontcourt of the Clippers, Paul handed the ball to Griffin at the free throw line on the left wing. Griffin tried to attack, but failed to rush, and handed the ball to Paul to reorganize.

"here……"

Just as Paul checked his teammates' running positions, Jamal Crawford reached out for the ball directly.

Because JJ Redick suffered an injury and needed a truce to recuperate, Crawford took the starting No. 2 position.

Paul was also happy to see someone come out to share, so he handed the ball to Crawford.

As one of the most famous guards in the league, Crawford actually surpassed the starting 2 position of most teams. After all, this is an explosive scorer who scored 50+ points in a single game on two different teams. His offensive firepower can be seen.

In the few games where he advocated starting, Crawford was in a hot state, and Matthews also became serious when he was facing up.

"Come on, baby!"

Crawford's tone was somewhat carefree and provocative.

After speaking, he suddenly dribbled the ball and took a step to the left. Matthews rushed forward. Then Crawford took another back dribble and passed Matthews in one step. After two steps into the free throw line, he directly pulled up the middle distance.

The basketball is like a cannonball, drawing an arc and guiding with precision.

"Shh!"

There was a splash, and Crawford scored two points.

His breakthrough speed is not fast, but in terms of rhythm control, he is a must in the league, especially his coquettish bad luck, which makes countless opponents hard to guard against.

The audience at the scene began to cheer, because after Crawford was put on the starting lineup, it brought them a different feeling than before.

In the previous Clippers, the rhythm of the game was generally Paul holding a lot of balls, directing teammates' traffic, and then making various wonderful passes.

Coupled with the two animals inside, Paul sent lobs from time to time, and the viewing looks really good.

But no matter how good-looking the ball is, no matter how fun it is, it will still get boring after playing too much.Simply put, it is aesthetic fatigue.

And now, when Crawford suddenly appeared, a one-on-one master who was faintly separated from the team's offensive system, it really made many Clippers fans feel bright.

What's more, Crawford's offensive style is originally an elegant style, and his play is not low.

However, before the Clippers fans were happy, bad news came from the court.

Crawford scored a mid-range shot, which was indeed a surprise, but soon, the Blazers gave their answer.

Lillard dribbled the ball halfway, and Wang Zelin quickly ran to the top of the arc to pick and roll.

Little Jordan also quickly followed.

After the pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin went down to catch the ball, pretended to break through, and just entered the paint with one kick, and suddenly passed the ball outward.

At this time, due to Wang Zelin's performance of smashing the basket at the beginning, even Paul couldn't help but focus on him.

This gave Lillard an opportunity.

After receiving the return pass, Lillard gently pressed his knees, quickly adjusted his rhythm, and directly shot a three-pointer!

It's another precision-guided shell, and it's farther away, boom!

Slammed into the basket hard.

Generally speaking, three-pointers have a fast shot speed, and so does Lillard.Although Paul's reaction speed was fast enough, it was still half a beat slow. As soon as he made an interference, the opponent had already made a move.

8:4, the score difference became bigger again.

"Cool! I like Damien's three-pointer so much. With his cold expression, I feel like I can play the Terminator!"

"Me too, the Blazers responded too hard! What's the point of making two points? I can make longer and farther threes than you."

Magic Johnson and Kenny Smith explained with a smile.

The former, as a Lakers legend, the happier the Clippers lost this time.

As for the latter, he will support whoever has the most traffic and who is most likely to win.From the current point of view, he is obviously more optimistic about the Portland Trail Blazers!
back.

Paul, the captain around, fired the first shot of the day.

After losing his explosive power during the Hornets period, Paul, who has come to the Clippers now, has developed an unpredictable offensive rhythm. Against Lillard, he first feinted a shot to the left, and then instantly killed from the right.

The speed can't be said to be fast, but Lillard just can't keep up and can't prevent it.

After breaking through the opponent's body position, Paul stopped at the edge of the paint area and made an emergency stop.

Lillard followed behind and tried to block the shot, but Paul's shot was too fast, and Wang Zelin on the inside hadn't come over yet. Paul made an iconic small throw and made a precise hit.

Looking back, the Blazers attack.

After making a three-pointer, Lillard's threat factor soared in the hearts of the Clippers players.

Paul clung to Lillard tightly.

Facing Paul, a defensive master who has been at the level of first defense for many years, Lillard's every offensive intention was strangled by the former, and the constant small movements accompanied by that moment made it even more difficult for Lillard to advance and retreat.

After another failed breakthrough to the left, Lillard gestured honestly and called for a pick-and-roll tactic.

With Aldridge's help, Lillard's breakthrough was much easier, and the lateral movement with Paul was beyond his expectations, and he rushed over instantly.

Facing the interference, Lillard took the shot slightly backwards, and shot a pretty chic backward jumper.

"Duang~"

Shots hit the iron.

Under the basket, Wang Zelin had already moved to the right wing with a shot ahead of time. He predicted that the ball would hit the basket and then bounce back to the right wing.

This is what it feels like to be a rebounder.

However, the Clippers also had two first-class rebounders in the league. Griffin and Jordan Jr. also predicted the position of the ball, and directly sandwiched Wang Zelin from the left to the right.

At this time, Aldridge was unable to recover from the outside line, so the 1v2 situation could only be broken by Wang Zelin himself.

Fortunately, when faced with this situation, Wang Zelin has learned the corresponding cracking tricks.

It's very simple~ open the way with an iron elbow!

The current inside players are all like flowers in a greenhouse. Wang Zelin feels that it is necessary to show them the "hot-blooded basketball" of the last century, and it is not in vain for him to learn from those old hooligans.

I saw him take a step forward with his right foot, change his original position, and face Griffin. From the camera's point of view, Griffin, Wang Zelin, and Jordan looked like a sandwich biscuit...

Still butter stuffed.

In the next second, the basketball hit the basket and really bounced to the right wing.

"My..." +2!

Griffin and Jordan shouted at the same time, and jumped almost at the same time.

"What's yours? It's mine!"

Wang Zelin let out a howl, and then jumped up.

In the eyes of the fans, for some reason, Wang Zelin took off a beat slower than the Clippers, but watching the basketball getting closer, Griffin on the left showed a child-like innocent smile.

After seeing Griffin's smile on the right side of Wang Zelin, Jordan selectively gave up the rebound and slowly withdrew his hand.

As for Wang Zelin, Jr. Jordan doesn't think the former can grab rebounds under the pincer attack with Griffin so far.

Immediately afterwards, a scream of "Ah!" almost shattered little Jordan's eardrums.

Looking at it again, the basketball has been taken into the hands of Wang Zelin.

"Re-cast!"

After landing, Wang Zelin roared, waved his hand, and the basketball flew towards Lillard.

"Good news!"

Lillard caught the ball near the top of the arc and praised Wang Zelin's wonderful pass in his heart. After looking at Paul, he felt that he should be more cautious. He took two steps and assisted Matthews to score a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zelin froze in place, and a group of idiots rushed past in his heart: MMP, the assists from labor and management are gone again!
He turned back and glanced at Griffin behind him: "Are you dead? Get up if you are not dead, there is still a ball to hit!"

He is very clear about the strength of his strike. Just now he used at most 7 points of force, and with his stupid physique, he can definitely cover it.

"you……"

Griffin just stood up with the support of Jordan, and pointed at Wang Zelin tremblingly. After thinking of the latter's combat effectiveness, he dared not speak out!

"Blake, what happened just now?" Little Jordan looked puzzled.

I gave up such a good rebounding opportunity, but Griffin didn't grasp it.

"That bastard, play dirty with me!"

Griffin gritted his teeth, and subconsciously touched his chest after speaking, feeling a sharp pain.
