NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 185

Chapter 189 Consecutive Bans (5k)

The 20-point advantage was instantly leveled to 12 points, and the Jazz decisively called a timeout.

There is something audible but not visible in basketball games, which is called morale, and it has a great influence on the direction of the game.

For example, right now, the Jazz are in the lead, but their morale has plummeted because of a few minutes of scoring panic.

In this case, someone who can make a final decision is needed to save the situation. This is for the head coach to set his sights on Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap.

As for Derek Favors, sorry, he has lived up to the coach's expectations.

"Al, now the team needs you to do a good job of scoring, I don't want to see anyone doing pointless back-and-forth running again, OK?"

During the suspension, Tyron Corbin, who was replaced by the team's assistant coach as the team's executive head coach last year, looked at the bench with a displeased expression.

In 2011, the Utah Jazz's meritorious coach Jerry Sloan and the team star Deron Williams left the team one after another. In the case of not being optimistic, Tyron Corbin led the team to the eighth place in the Western Conference after the regular season. into the playoffs.

This allowed him to successfully gain recognition from the players.

Blazers bench.

"Wang, good job, keep it up!"

After seeing Wang Zelin playing, he really dominated the game at both ends of the offense and defense, leading his teammates to gradually reduce the score, Terry Stotts was very satisfied.

At this time, Wang Zelin, like the legendary giant Goliath, led the Trail Blazers to charge all the way, making the enemy frightened.

"Your Majesty's bullshit!"

"In my opinion, the Jazz have been beaten to a dead end, and the balance of victory in this game is completely in favor of the Blazers..."

"You can't say the same thing upstairs. Basketball is round. Before the game is over, no one dares to guarantee tickets, saying that they will definitely win..."

"The Blazers didn't hesitate at 20 points, let alone 12 points!"

On some domestic forums, fans who watched the live broadcast and browsed the forum posts started to discuss the game fiercely and expressed their opinions one after another.

For many fans, tonight's game between the Blazers and the Jazz can be described as twists and turns, with constant surprises.

No one expected the Jazz to win before the game, but the Blazers fell behind by a wide margin all night; just as everyone thought the overall situation was set, the Blazers launched a strong counterattack at the end of the game, reducing the huge 20-point difference in less than two minutes. half.

After some controversy, nearly 80% of fans believe that the Blazers can win the final victory tonight.

Rose Garden Arena, the game restarted after a pause, and the Jazz served from the backcourt line.

The next game, as Coach Terry Stotts expected, the Jazz really moved the offense to the inside.

Both Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson have the ability to score around 15+ points per game, especially the latter, who averaged 23 points per game in his peak.

Therefore, when Wang Zelin first found out that Al Jefferson took the initiative to find him, facing the big man who once averaged over 20 points per game, he did not worry at all, but his mouth twitched and his expression became more and more excited.

seems to be saying: Let me see how many sounds you have...Aah, it's a pound!

The Jazz players opened the half to allow Al Jefferson to play a 1-on-1 on the left low post without hesitation.

Wang Zelin's internal defense ability successfully broke through the 80 mark a few days ago, which is still 3 points away from the internal defense upper limit of the Kidney Fighter star card, but with his excellent physical fitness, his internal defense is enough to deter more than 90% of the league's players. Inside player.

No, don't forget, now is the era of withering inside players, and there are very few outstanding big men in the league, perhaps more than 95%.

At this critical time, Al Jefferson chose to attack from the left low post, which is his most confident shooting hot zone, where his arsenal is very rich.

After hitting his back twice in a row, Al Jefferson quickly shook his shoulders, made an extremely realistic shot fake, and then suddenly took a big step back to get enough shot space.

As a short center of 2.08 meters, Al Jefferson is not good at defense, his foundation in the league is offensive ability.

If he is rated as the most prolific offensive player in the league, Al Jefferson has the capital to look around.

The mid-range step-back jumper is one of Al Jefferson's killer moves, and he's confident in his shot selection.

But right away, he noticed something was wrong.

The number 36 on the opposite side was not posted immediately. According to previous observations, his reaction power and speed should not be so slow.

How is this going?

Could it be that he chose to give up!

Although he was extremely puzzled, no matter what, since he had a good opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it, and the team was still waiting for him to score.

So when he entered the familiar offensive rhythm, the moment he completed the shooting pattern, he gently pushed his right hand, and the orange basketball launched an impact on the Blazers' basket.

Behind Wang Zelin, a group of people inherited a group on the inside, and everyone was preparing to fight for the board.

However, Al Jefferson inadvertently revealed a hint of joy in his heart. According to the previous rhythm and his own feel, this ball has more than 90% of the hope of hitting.

This is the confidence every scorer should have in his shot!

At the same time, Wang Zelin, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly lowered his body, bent his knees slightly, and jumped up vertically.

“What?”

Jazz coach Tyron Corbin couldn't help laughing with the assistant coach beside him when he saw this scene.

"That Asian guy is too stupid, or he really thinks he is a superman..."

"Taron, Superman is old!"

Assistant coach Harrison chuckled.

"Hahaha!"

Tyron Corbin also laughed, of course he knew who Harrison was referring to as Superman.

Isn't that the Lakers' No. 12!

The reporters around have held up their cameras, scolding Wang Zelin's face to record this series of confusing behaviors.

Wang Zelin's ears were not deaf, and he could hear them clearly.

But he wasn't angry, he dared to do this, naturally he had enough confidence, so he was also looking forward to everyone's next reaction in his heart.

If we say that the 78 bounce and 76 bounce speed obtained from McGee have given Wang Zelin a qualitative leap in his running and jumping ability, he has the potential to become the league's top defender.

Then the arrival of the Kidney Fighter star card directly makes him infinitely indented to become the top defender in the league.

78 bounce, 76 bullet speed, 80 internal defense, 82 blocked shots... Coupled with the static physical talent of Shaquille O'Neal, Wang Zelin has directly become the top defender in this era without any suspense.

If it is Dirk Nowitzki's golden rooster independence, Duncan's 45-degree slap shot, and Wolf King Garnett's iron-blooded jump shot, Wang Zelin has no confidence to put it down, because those three old gangsters used to be in the league. 's superstar.

But if it's Al Jefferson, Wang Zelin's confidence in defending the opponent is much greater than the previous three.

With a height of 2.08 meters left, it is already a big section short of Nowitzki's three.

As Wang Zelin's height in the air became higher and higher, Al Jefferson's eyes went from bewildered to inconceivable, and finally turned sluggish.

He actually~ He actually…

"Snapped!"

A loud bang made the audience silent, and the basketball was smashed out of bounds and into the arms of an unknown lucky fan.

"Great gift crab!!! Wang really blocked Al Jefferson's shot, he really did it!!!"

The Blazers home announcer was going crazy. He couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed it hard.

In the end, the bright scoreboard showed that he really had no dazzling eyes.

Don't mention him, the players of both teams were stunned, watching the scene in disbelief.

That's Al Jefferson!

A generation of wolf kings, he averaged 23 points, 11 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game at his peak, and he was a top scorer with 40 points in a single game 4 times in his career.

Even if the upward trend is interrupted due to the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee, among the big players in the league, when it comes to the superb offensive skills, few people dare to say that they can hold down Al Jefferson steadily, let alone the defense. live him.

“Di!!!”

After a long time, the referee's whistle finally pulled everyone's minds back.

The Jazz re-attack time, 9 seconds left.

Randy Foye went out of bounds with one step and three backs and sent a sideline ball.

Wang Zelin's defense just now shocked his heart, and he was suddenly in awe of the pioneers' penalty area guarded by the former.

This is the powerful deterrent brought by a good defender to the opponent.

Al Jefferson patted his head and forced his choppy inside line to calm down.

Coincidence...surely a coincidence!

I can't be locked up so easily...

I want to score...Yes, the team needs me to score!

We still have to make the playoffs!

Thinking of this, Al Jefferson placed in the short corner on the left and reached out for the ball again.

Whether plagued by injuries or traded by the Timberwolves, these ordeals have not defeated the tough guy Al Jefferson, not to mention a mere block.

Those who have fallen into a trough, but who are able to get up again, their inner perseverance is far beyond their comprehension.

Unless there is a second, harder blow...

Compared with the previous step-back jumper, Al Jefferson was much more cautious this time. He continued to exert force on his back and swayed his shoulders from side to side. He felt the change of Wang Zelin's defensive focus all the time.

Right now... Al Jefferson slammed in, stepped out with his left foot, made a 180-degree turn, then kept the axis angle unchanged, retracted outwards, and turned his body to face the basket lightly. hook.

This time, it can't be covered again!

After Al Jefferson finished the action, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was like a textbook on the offensive end of the ball, showing his steady and gorgeous basket footsteps and soft-feeling small hooks at the basket.

Exhausting all the blows he has learned in his life, Al Jefferson is full of anticipation.

"Snapped!"

The basketball just flew a short distance, and before it reached the highest point, it was slapped by a yellow palm, and the ball hit the backboard heavily and bounced back.

Lillard took advantage of Aldridge's card position to rush to rebound in advance, launched a defensive counterattack directly, and tricked Marvin Williams into a blocked layup on the fake fax in the frontcourt.

72:82, only 10 points left.

As we all know, in basketball, within 5 points is a hurdle, within 10 points is a hurdle, and between 10 and 20 points is another card. A clear point difference will affect the mentality of players on the court.

If the Jazz still can't score in the next offense, then the mentality of the Jazz players is really not far from collapse.

The Jazz attack, pass and cut.

Randy Foye held the ball on the perimeter, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson cut in both ways after the pick-and-roll.

The ball finally went to Paul Millsap, and Aldridge behind him couldn't defend in time.

I have to say that the timing of this shot was very accurate. Paul Millsap has excellent basketball awareness and is good at getting easy layup opportunities in the game by cooperating with his teammates.

Unfortunately, he ignored the giant beast standing behind him.

"Snapped!"

Basketball found a pair of big hands on the eve of entering the basket.

Paul Millsap looked up and it was that **** yellow again.

How could this oriental person react so quickly?

Why is he so fast?

He...Quick!

The Blazers once again got a good opportunity to defend and counterattack, guided by Batum himself, to complete the blasting performance.

74:82!

Played 4 minutes in the last quarter, the Trail Blazers chased 12 points in a row, while the opposing Jazz did not score 1 point.

Unexpectedly, the Jazz called a timeout again.

From a 20-point lead to an 8-point lead, everyone on the Jazz is buzzing right now, and the Blazers' defense at No. 36 tonight exceeded everyone's expectations.

"I took a look, the king has sent out 5 caps now, and 3 of them were sent out at the end. It's really... Cow B!"

Guide Zhang said at the end, the word Niu B could not help but blurt out.

"I don't know if you have noticed, but the King's defensive ability seems to have made a new breakthrough compared to the past, and it seems to have reached a new level."

"I haven't seen a few rookies like this who can keep improving in the game in my years of commentary. The last player to show this kind of potential was Kobe Bryant of the Lakers... …”

Fans are not surprised by Zhang Zhiguo's behavior of showing his true nature while talking, but they have to admit that this time, what the bad old man said does seem to make sense.

This season, Wang Zelin's average blocks per game are 1.8, ranking seventh in the regular season blocks list, a full 1.2 points away from the Thunder's 28 cards.

Of course, this is normal. You must know that this animal was able to contribute an average of 3.7 blocks per game last season, which is the highest since the 21st century.

However, according to big data statistics, if Wang Zelin's average data is divided into several stages, mid-November can be regarded as a watershed.

Before mid-November, Wang Zelin's average per game was roughly 18 points + 9 rebounds + 1 block + 1 assist. Although it was dazzling enough to overwhelm all the players in the same class, it was not as amazing as it was later, and it was able to cover previous players. .

After mid-November, Wang Zelin seemed to have passed his run-in period in the NBA and completed a gorgeous transformation. First, he ushered in his first triple-double in his career, and in early December, he staged a continuous rebounding explosion, and put his average data on the game. In one fell swoop rose to about 22 points + 15 rebounds.

In addition to scoring and rebounding, Wang Zelin's assists and blocks have also risen rapidly. The assists have now exceeded the average of three per game, and his passing ability is excellent among big men.

In contrast, the most unnoticed blocks have also begun to approach an average of two per game, which is also the biggest shock to the outside world for Wang Zelin.

Obviously both are rookies, everyone is developing in a wretched manner, why are you blooming alone.

According to past practice, most players in previous drafts will be busy dealing with the long and tedious regular season at this stage, and there is almost no time to really improve themselves. They must wait until the offseason to have enough development time.

Unless it's like some extremely rare and unusual existence...

For example, "No. 21 Rookie" and "Old Man in Thirty Years" who have not improved for more than ten years...

In other words, Wang Zelin's rookie season showed his immediate combat power and great potential, and he has come to the strongest level among the NBA's previous rookies.

Back on the field.

After the adjustment, the Jazz players returned to the court.

Power forward Paul Millsapura went to a high position to support, successfully taking Aldridge away from a low position, and shooting guard Randy Foye cut into the paint area from the left wing, attracting Wang Zelin's attention.

Randy Foye, with an average offensive threat of around 10 points, made Wang Zelin inevitably pay attention to him.

However, according to the data, Randy Foye's advantage lies in 3 points and average athletic ability, so he rarely breaks through, then... Wang Zelin suddenly raised his vigilance.

Just as Randy Foye came to the paint, Jazz small forward Marvin Williams drove straight into the heart of the Blazers penalty area from a low angle on the left wing.

Randy Foye scored and flew to Marvin Williams.

"Beautiful burst, the Jazz have a great opportunity to break the scoring drought, the Blazers have to be careful."

Guide Zhang couldn't help shouting.

At this moment, Wang Zelin stared sideways at Randy Foye, and Marvin Williams behind him was in a blind spot.

Marvin Williams looked excited: "Portlanders, we have won this victory! **** can't stop it when he comes!!!"

This 2005 No. 2 show has already soared into the sky, and his right arm is about to smash down to catch the ball.

At the same time, Wang Zelin, who had been alert early, turned around abruptly, took two steps from the bottom left corner, rushed to the basket, and took off from the paint area.

At almost the same time, the basketball in Marvin Williams' hands was infinitely close to the basket.

"Snapped!"

The aerial performance was interrupted by a slap from Wang Zelin, and the basketball flew directly outside the court.

"Dude, your skill front swing is too long!"

Wang Zelin's expression was indifferent~www.mtlnovel.com~ shook his finger in disdain.

And he is telling the truth, if Marvin Williams chose to lay up just now, he would not be easily blocked.

But the latter is greedy.

Thanks to this being the home court, and Wang Zelin's finger-waking movement was fleeting, the linesman at the bottom line let go of his whistle.

"Majafak!"

Marvin Williams roared in a low voice, his right hand slammed into the ground with a fist.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Wang Zelin's words, he could still see clearly the former's attitude that he obviously didn't take him seriously.

He is the No. 2 overall pick, you are just the No. 8 pick, why do you look down on me?
