NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 614 Ade suddenly becomes hard

"I'm not afraid of you! If you have the guts, hit me again!"

After getting up, Cousins ​​sprayed fiercely at Wang Zelin.

"Tch, if you have the ability, go ahead and come in!"

Cousins ​​is not stingy, and Wang Zelin is also not good at it.All the insiders in the current league are subdued by him, even Cousins ​​is no exception.

Soon, the Cavaliers reorganized their offense.

Cousins, who was already very easy to put emotions into the game, has now been completely irritated by Wang Zelin, which happened to be in his arms.

Don't look at Cousins, but after all, he still has strength. His focus tonight is James, who has entered a state of explosion, and he doesn't want to spend too much effort on Cousins.

As we all know, Cousins ​​is notoriously hot-tempered, with a very low anger point. He is like a powder keg on the court, and he often explodes at one point.

According to statistics, in the previous seasons with the Kings, Cousins ​​averaged no less than double-digit technical fouls in each season; since 2011, Cousins ​​has the most technical fouls in the league during the same period, and the number of expulsions is also the first in the league during the same period!

Therefore, Wang Zelin deliberately started to find fault with Cousins ​​in the first quarter, just to let the opponent get off the court and rest earlier.

At this point, the attack time is only 7 seconds left.

James commanded the others to run on the outside with a serious face, and waited for Cousins' ball-seeking action. When the attack time was only 4 seconds, he changed direction and accelerated, forcibly passing Batum and going straight to the basket.

"bring it on!"

Wang Zelin smiled, and took the initiative to meet him, blocking James' breakthrough.

Encountering supplementary defense, James switched to post-up singles, but King 0's defense was very tough. After a few top defenses, he disrupted his rhythm, turned over and hit the basket with a jumper.

The Cavaliers attacked again to no avail. Afterwards, Wang Zelin repeatedly completed the offense inside.Cousins, who is 5 centimeters shorter, has never been a good defender. Facing Wang Zelin's skyhook, he was beaten like a child.

At 22:20, with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the advantage that James finally established in the first half of the quarter was defeated by the team's poor defense inside.

But at this time, he didn't want to blame anything. The Cavaliers are a team. If there is a problem, everyone must find a way to solve it.

Immediately, the first quarter of the game ended quickly.

With James making another effort to score two goals in the last 2 minutes, at 25:24, the Cavaliers chased the point difference to 1 point.

"Wang, you continue to match up with DeMarcus in the second quarter, and try to let him get four fouls, or even five fouls in the first half!"

After seeing Cousins' performance of two fouls in the first quarter, Terry Stotts decided to let Wang Zelin continue to be the focus of the team.

"No problem, don't worry coach, I guarantee that guy DeMarcus won't be able to play three quarters tonight!"

Wang Zelin made an "OK" gesture to the coach and his teammates. He originally had the idea of ​​getting Cousins ​​out in advance.

"Okay, the king and Damien rest first in the second quarter. LaMarcus and Will, you guys go up for a while in the second quarter, and you all get tougher! Look at it more and cause damage."

Terry Stotts knew that Aldridge's touch could not be so strong throughout the game, and Aldridge's low-post skills were equally superb. If he was close enough to the basket, it was impossible not to score a goal.

After setting everything up, the Blazers and Cavaliers played again.

Cavaliers coach David Blatt also made lineup adjustments. Like the Trail Blazers, he became a half-main and half-substitute lineup. James and JR continued to play, partnering with Matthew Dellavedova, Eight Sage Kings TT and Anderson Varejao.

In the Cavaliers' first attack, James broke the shot from the outside and hit a three-pointer to help the team overtake.

Seeing the home team attack for the first time, all Cavaliers fans stood up and applauded their leader.

Trail Blazers attack.

The ball was given to Aldridge, probably because he didn't score a point in the first quarter, and TT seemed a little lax in his defense.

The fleeting opportunity, after getting the ball, Aldridge broke through immediately, and just broke in with TT on his shoulders.

Varejao wanted to help defend, but found that he was stuck by Garnett. Aldridge held the ball in his right hand, jumped on one foot, and dunked the ball beautifully under Varejao's gaze.

"LaMarcus Aldridge! A tough breakthrough, so beautiful! This is his true level!"

On the commentary stage, Chris Webber was taken aback by Aldridge's forced breakthrough. This kind of powerful bull rush style of play is rare for him.

Afterwards, Aldridge fought back against TT forcefully in the three-second zone. TT was knocked back again and again, and finally lost to Aldridge's turnaround jumper.

In fact, even if he occasionally shows his rough side, Aldridge is more like an elegant dancer than Wang Zelin, a violent behemoth. He stretches his slender arms time and time again to complete the projection. You just use your nimble footsteps to score points inside.

In the second quarter, thanks to the recovery of Aldridge's state, Wang Zelin was able to rest for half a quarter.Thinking about it carefully, it has been a long time since he got so much rest time in the first half of the game.

Aldridge's character is doomed that no matter what team he is in or what teammates he meets, he will always have no complaints and no regrets, like an old scalper, silently performing his duties throughout his life.

Now, Aldridge knows that due to his injury, Wang Zelin had to do his best to carry the team forward for more than a month. As Wang Zelin's helper and the second leader of the Trail Blazers, he knew that he had to stand up.

So, in the second quarter, he stood up!
And it appeared in a way that subverted people's imagination. The tough dunks, precise shots, and gorgeous dance steps under the basket caused the Cavaliers' defense to collapse instantly.

As a power forward whose offensive methods are mostly shooting, Aldridge once had the scornful title of "soft guy" on his head, just like Nowitzki 11 years ago, he is a well-known "soft guy" in the league.

Of course, it was more due to the ethos of the times at that time. The fans and media at that time naturally didn't like to see insiders playing outside.

Later, Nowitzki used a trip to the playoffs in 11 to block and kill the gods and Buddhas, washing away the title of "soft guy" that has plagued him for many years.

And Aldridge, after assisting Wang Zelin to win the championship last year, gradually not many people mentioned the term "soft guy".

Now, he hits harder than anyone else!

……

At 7 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, Aldridge caused the second foul of TT in a single quarter under the basket and made two free throws.

David Blatter hurriedly called a timeout.

44 to 36, let the Blazers score another goal, and the point difference will have to go to double digits.
