NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

chapter 74

After the start of the second half, Howard scored 3 points and 11 rebounds in the third quarter regardless of his back injury. Kobe also scored 6 points in a frantic shot.

But despite this, the Lakers have not been able to resist the crazy offensive wave of the Blazers.

The strange performance of the Lakers in the first half made the Blazers completely believe that this Lakers team can be said to have neither tactics nor defense.

Therefore, Aldridge led the rotation and became more and more confident, and the morale of the Lakers gradually became discouraged as the point difference gradually expanded.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Jamison, who was in the Lakers' rotation, suddenly broke out with amazing fighting power, leading the bench players to an 8:0 climax.

Lakers 73:85 Trail Blazers!
Seeing that the score was about to be forced to within ten points, Coach Terry quickly brought Wang Zelin and Lillard back on the court.

From the opening to the present, Aldridge has played for nearly 40 minutes and scored a team-high 25 points. His physical strength has begun to be somewhat insufficient, and his offensive efficiency has declined.

At present, the Blazers still lead the Lakers by 12 points. The coach here believes that Wang Zelin and Lillard will not disappoint the team.

The Lakers also replaced the lineup with Howard, Jaxon, Ci Shiping, Kobe and Stephen Blake.

There are still more than 7 minutes before the end of the game, and they still have a chance to fight.

"Damien, withstood this wave of counterattacks from the Lakers, countless flowers, applause and fame, we can all get it, how about it, do you have confidence?"

After resting for more than half a quarter, Wang Zelin and Lillard immediately stood up and took off their sweat-soaked warm jackets.

"What do you say!"

Lillard smiled back.

The two gave an excited high-five, and all the cameras captured the scene on the Blazers bench.

"Wow, our 12-year-old Gemini is here again. Damien has 17 points, 6 assists and 1 steal, and King has 13 points and 8 rebounds. Looking forward to their next performance."

The commentator on the sidelines became more and more energetic, attracting everyone's attention to the young pair.

"Hmph, it's just a hairy boy, let's see if I don't blow him up for a while."

Seeing this scene, Howard pouted in disdain.

He currently has a team-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, and has firmly suppressed Wang Zelin in both points and rebounds.

"Well, seize the last time, we still have hope of overtaking."

Hearing Kobe's words, the other three had no reaction, only Howard was a little impatient, but quickly hid it.

He can ignore Nash, but not Kobe.

Even now, Howard still remembers the bloodthirsty display of the Bryant-led Lakers in the finals that year.

Pause back, the Blazers have the ball.

Now that Aldridge is resting off the court, the team's offense falls to the two rookies, and the fans begin to shout the names of Wang Zelin and Lillard.

Wang Zelin came to the high position to give Lillard a business trip, and Hickson inside also quickly ran out of the three-second zone, freeing up the breakthrough space.

Blake was stuck on the other end by Wang Zelin's high-quality pick-and-roll, and Lillard made a three-pointer without hesitation.

Howard, who was behind Wang Zelin, failed to make up for the defense and was hit by a three-pointer by Lillard.

88: 73!

This is Lillard's best and favorite scoring method during his college days.

Remembered in Weber State's all-time record for 246 [-]-pointers, witness how terrible his pick-and-roll [-]-pointer is.

As long as the Lakers are guarded this round, the Blazers have the opportunity to expand the point difference again.

"be careful!"

Seeing that the score was pulled away again, Howard couldn't help roaring from Blake.

"I know, I know."

The sudden rebuke from the fourth boss of the team left Blake at a loss, so he could only lower his head and admit his mistake.

"Ok!"

Seemingly satisfied with his behavior of showing the boss's demeanor, Howard turned around and left with a bright smile.

At this time, Howard was still an out-and-out happy beast, and he had not yet encountered the baptism of another "4 o'clock in the morning" boss.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Blake passed the basketball to Howard, originally just wanting Howard to make a transition, and then complete the off-ball movement tactics.

But who would have thought that Howard actually faced Wang Zelin in a post-up single.

Don't look at Howard has scored more than 20 points, but he took the initiative to hold the ball and score very few times. More than [-]% of the points were either cutting inside to receive a pass from a teammate, or he scored a second rebound and tipped.

Is this going to fuck me with the ball?
Wang Zelin was a little surprised, and instantly became extremely excited.

As far as Mr. Huo's 63 reckoning is concerned, don't make a fuss.

When Howard and Wang Zelin made physical contact, the camera under the backboard suddenly found that only the latter was left in their sight.

What about our Mr. Superman?

Emmmm, completely covered by Wang Zelin.

To be honest, Howard's 211cm height in shoes is still not prominent enough in the center position.

As a basketball commentator said: Howard was just the "lucky one" born in the right age, and his actual ability is not as great as the data shows.

Howard's figure can be used as a center, and he can stand out in this era of withering big men. Compared with Wang Zelin's heavy-duty center with bare feet of 216cm and shoes of 220cm, the shortcomings appear all at once.

Shit!

Why is this yellow-skinned boy so similar to that big fat man?

I still don't believe it, can he really have that guy's power?

Howard continued to beat Wang Zelin with all his might, but found that the latter remained motionless.

At this time, Kobe had run out of position to signal to pass the ball. When Howard was about to pass the ball, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Mr. Superman, is your strength only at this level?"

Wang Zelin's ridicule caused Howard's displeasure: how dare he make fun of me, this damned Chinese boy?

Also pass, pass on Nima!

With full of anger, Howard burst out with more vigorous strength, and he just took another step inside. After reaching the three-second zone, he turned around and took off, with only the basket in his eyes.

See if I don't detain you all over the place!
Spark didn't hide the contempt on his face at this time, he didn't think a mere Asian center could stop him.

But just as he smashed the ball down with both hands, a black spot suddenly appeared in Howard's field of vision, and it quickly became bigger and bigger.

This is... a hand?

It's the hand of the Trailblazer 36!
Wang Zelin, who has McKee's running and jumping talent, has already led most of the league's centers in terms of dynamic physical talent. Although it is not comparable to Howard's top running and jumping ability, don't forget, Wang Zelin is 5cm taller than Howard. It is 6cm longer.

this height?

impossible!
The yellow-skinned slap got closer and closer, and Howard suddenly opened his eyes, and his color changed instantly.

Under Howard's unbelievable gaze, Wang Zelin's right hand finally touched the rapidly falling basketball.

Snapped!
The heavy fan flew out of bounds.

Does this cover it?
His own rookie really gave the league's first center a big hot pot!

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhh!"

The home fans were suffocated first, followed by overwhelming cheers, and the audience instantly boiled.

"Mr. Superman seems to be old. Since he is old, go home and wait for S. Don't block young people from taking the top!"

Seeing Howard's astonished expression, Wang Zelin chewed on his braces, and a very mocking voice echoed in the former's ears again.

TMD I'm only 27, you actually call me old?
I am angry.

I'm really pissed!
