NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 304

"Crazy! They're crazy! The whole TMD group of lunatics!"

At the end of the first quarter, Wang Zelin, who returned to the bench, thought that there were two black-skinned rough men who had entangled him for 12 minutes...

Ah, I'm dirty!

In fact, it's not so exaggerated, mainly because the Nuggets' strategy to deal with themselves is too extreme.

In the first quarter, he was never given a chance to play in the low post. As soon as he received the ball, McGee and Fadell smelled the same shit, and rushed over like a hungry wolf for the first time.

Wait, this description doesn't seem very friendly.

However, he couldn't care so much: the routines in the city were too dirty, and he wanted to go back to the countryside.

Unlike Wang Zelin, who was suspicious that his life was different, Yi Jianlian, who was smiling the whole time, was talking to himself:

"Hey! I got hit!"

"Hey! I got hit again!"

"Fuck! I actually scored 7 points in a single quarter..."

Returning to his position, Yi Jianlian still looked at his hands in disbelief, and almost couldn't help but want to sigh.

At 22:16, the Blazers took the lead in the first quarter.

Among them, Yi Jianlian made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and got a game-high 8 points and 1 rebound.

Players with shooting ability are too fragrant to play with Wang Zelin's first team, and no one can resist this temptation.

In just one session, Yi Jianlian was well fed, with a red light on his face.

Nuggets rest area.

"Coach, do you want to continue?"

Fadri was sullen.

Also, knowing that he did not score a single point in a single quarter, but the opponent scored 8 points, he was not very happy.

"continue!"

Brian Shaw was confident, and his confident smile infected every Nuggets player.

They suffer!

He had encountered George Karl who was like a black-faced **** before. He didn't always smile a few times a year, his training was stern, and he was lenient on the sidelines.

As a result, although he is one of the only coaches in the NBA, this stubborn old man has never won the hearts of the team.

The new head coach Brian Shaw is different. He is humorous off the court and jokes with the players from time to time, and his speech seems to have a magical power, which can always make the players forget their troubles.

Don't look at other people's training is equally demanding, but he can't help but talk nicely.

Therefore, sometimes the methods taken are different, and it is very possible to harvest completely different fruits.

beep~~~

The second quarter starts.

Watching the players finish playing one by one with a smile on his face, Brian Shaw's smile disappeared.

Brian Shaw, who has a wise brain, is not only eloquent, but also understands the rules of the basketball game, so he can gain the trust of the team owner and serve as the head coach of the Nuggets.

As early as the beginning of the season, the team's management issued an order: If you can make it to the playoffs, you will enter, and if you can't make it, you will quickly rot.

After playing 5 games, the team is obviously going to play in this way.

If the choice is bad at this time, the Nuggets are likely to get a good draft pick in the draft next year in June, and the chance of drawing the grand prize will be greater.

But Brian Shaw disagreed with this arrangement.

One is because he led the team to lose when he first arrived, which is not good for his reputation.

Second, he is a typical person who is soft on the outside and tough on the inside.

From 1988 to the 2002~2003 season in the new century, Brian Shaw, with his indomitable and never-give-up mentality, first played for 6 teams, and finally assisted the OK combination in the Los Angeles Lakers and won three. championship ring.

Because of his eloquence and outgoing personality, he was regarded as a close friend by Shaquille O'Neal.

You can see how good this guy is.

But it was because of his decision that he laid the groundwork for his subsequent dismissal.

This season, because Brian Shaw refused to put it down, the Nuggets had a good record in the first two months, and even played a wave of 7 consecutive victories, which gave the management hope of the playoffs.

But it didn't take long for the Nuggets to suffer another 8-game losing streak, and the hope of the playoffs was far away. At this time, they wanted to make a good draw, but they couldn't catch up with the Cavaliers, Bucks, 75ers Magic, etc. If the pace of the team is ruined, the management has the heart to kill him.

Obviously he doesn't have that strength, but he has to prove himself.

Not coming to Brian Shaw's operation has led to the embarrassing situation of the Nuggets in the league for the next two years.

Put it down, they have some strength.

Let's not put it off. The record of more than 30 wins is not bad in the East, but if you want to grab a playoff spot in the West, the strength is still a little worse.

Two years were wasted so vaguely, when the players could no longer tolerate losing, and no longer accept Brian Shaw's empty promises, contradictions naturally arose.

At that time, the Nuggets management also had an excuse to dismiss him.

Now when Brian Shaw is still complacent, even in the face of the Blazers who know they are invincible, he wants the players to fight.

The price is nothing more than consuming the players' trust in the new coach in advance.

The two sides played the substitutes for half of the quarter, and the main force played in the second half.

Needless to say, the Nate Robinson that the Nuggets management introduced this year does have something, and the bench gangsters have done a good job.

Led the bench to score 16 points in half a quarter. I made 3 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 9 points and 2 rebounds.

At 31:29, the Blazers were one point behind.

The old Garnett came to the Devil's home, obviously a little uncomfortable, as did the first-year Adams, the inside line was protruded into a sieve.

Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian continued to play together.

Trail Blazers attack.

This time, Wang Zelin took the ball from a high position, so that the opponent did not dare to double-team crazy.

The defender was still McGee, and his two long arms were sticking together, so Wang Zelin could only play high.

Suddenly, with his left hand against McGee in front of him, he grabbed the ball with his right arm, took off decisively, and made a straight-arm jumper.

With the growing popularity, a precise straight-arm jumper has become a label on Wang Zelin.

Although he prefers to attack the frame, the straight-arm jumper is not very useful, but this does not mean that his lethality is not enough!

The mid-range shooting ability of 88 and the long-range shooting ability of 62 can even pull him to the three-point line, the attack range covers the entire three-point line, and the straight-arm jumper is very sudden. Dry pull is not good protection.

McKee jumped, half a beat, but missed.

"boom!"

The ball hits the rebound first, then...

"Shh!"

Bounce back into the net.

At 31:31, the Blazers tied the score.

Wang Zelin spread his hands dashingly: "Does your defense only have this level? If yes, then watch my performance!"

McGee was speechless and bowed his head to pick up the ball.

Nuggets offense.

Ty Lawson dribbled the ball a few times and went into breakout mode, rushing past Lillard like a black lightning bolt.

"Bang!"

It's a pity that Wang Zelin's approach was delayed very quickly, and he was too honest to hit the south side.

Yi Jianlian protected the rebound and passed the ball to the nearest Batum.

Batum's offense is not weak, and the Nuggets have no players on the flanks who can defend him. In this game, he has more autonomous offensive possessions than before.

The Nuggets' current lineup on the court:

Point guard Ty Lawson, Feng Wei Randy Foye, small forward JJ Hickson, power forward Anthony Randolph, and center JaVale McGee.

In the contest between former teammates, Batum did not soften his hand. After seeing the weakness of Hickson's lack of lateral speed, he was beaten by Hickson with the ball.

So advancing to the middle distance, Batum swayed his shoulder to the right and tried to turn left to prepare for a jumper.

Hickson stabilized his center of gravity for the first time and did not eat yellow, and only took off and blocked when Batum turned over for the second time! He was still thinking: This fake action is too watery!

But when Hickson was in mid-air, the thought of contempt disappeared. Because the opponent did not jump at all this time, but a fake shot!

Combining the fake with the real and the real with the fake is the essence of the fake attack.

Flying Hickson, Batum's pivot foot remained unchanged, and he took a step with his left foot and picked the basket.

"Kobe Attack!"

The home announcer opened his mouth wide.

This offensive method is really very similar to Kobe. If you compare the offensive pictures of the two together, you will find that the similarity is extremely high!

The Nuggets fans in the audience suddenly wailed again. At first, they booed the Blazers enthusiastically, and the decibels became lower and lower.

The NBA is a stage where the strong prey on the weak. If you want to win respect, you have to be afraid of your opponents!

Off-court Terry Stotts laughed heartily. This is the advantage of having a lot of trump cards. The team's trump card has not been used, and a second is enough to solve you.

5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal... Batum is a real all-around warrior, not an all-rounder who is not proficient in everything. He has excellent skills in both offense and defense.

In the last few rounds, the Nuggets wanted to run, but the Portland Trail Blazers refused to let them do so. They landed in a steady position, so that the Nuggets players could only watch the opponent send the ball into the basket again and again.

The process of feeling despair slowly is a kind of torture!

Ty Lawson tried to hit a few times himself, but one time he challenged the penalty area and was hit by Wang Zelin, and another close-range throw near the basket was interrupted by Matthews's defense and failed to hit...

Ty Lawson is unquestionably a capable player, otherwise it wouldn't have been a team head for the Nuggets.

It is a pity that his short height and unstable shooting at the No. 1 position have become his fatal shortcoming when facing the Portland Trail Blazers, who are excellent in both offense and defense.

The reason why the Denver Nuggets are called the running and jumping team is that they cannot do without the propulsion ability of the No. 1 position.

When they can't run, they are not far from defeat.

The Nuggets were completely brought into the unsuitable rhythm of the game, reluctantly relied on sporadic resistance to bite the score, while the Blazers played more and more smoothly.

Annoyed by the double-team strategy, Wang Zelin once again played the role of a high-level beacon and emptied the penalty area. Not only did everyone make more breakthroughs tonight than before, but they were also more efficient.

Because, when a big center with precise strike ability stands on the perimeter, his offensive threat range will be larger; if he has outstanding running and jumping ability, his defense will become ubiquitous; if there is another song that is quite nice pass...

Then what?

The Denver Nuggets were clearly overwhelmed by their opponent's style.

After halftime, the Blazers returned to the locker room with an 11-point advantage. The Nuggets had nine scoring records in the first half, but no one scored in double figures.

This data fully shows the offensive state of the Nuggets. They can't find a strong offensive point. They can only try each player. As a result, many people can score, but they only get 2 points and 3 points. , the big deal is 5 or 6 points.

With such scattered goods, how can it be possible to get a carefully packaged finished product.

This kind of team attack is not bad. The Spurs next door have played this way for the past two years, and they have played it so well that others can't defend against it.

The problem remains with the Nuggets themselves.

When the role players feel cold and the stars are not strong enough to stand up and score, the offense becomes a quagmire.

On the Blazers side, Wang Zelin has already scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. When he is playing at a high position, Wang Zelin's versatility will be on full display.

The scenes on the field were recorded in the small books of offensive assistant David Vanderpool. After reading it, Trister felt that Wang Zelin's true potential had not been fully released.

In the face of certain balls, changing a system to play may work wonders.

However, before that, he needs to come to a few training games in the team to see what the results are.

Again, before the tortoises climbed out of the sewers, triple-doubles were a rare and valuable statistic in the NBA.

The reason why Oscar Robertson is unanimously considered by most fans and the media to be a strong contender for the second point guard in NBA history is also because of his unparalleled achievements in the field of triple-doubles.

Almighty is a kind of high recognition and praise, and in the NBA, triple-double has become the endorsement of all-around.

Generally speaking, triple-double data are reserved for perimeter players, and it is difficult for a big man to get a triple-double!

However, Wang Zelin had several triple-double records last season. He only played 5 games this season and got another triple-double. Looking at the situation today, he is ready to get another triple-double...

When did the triple-double data that even perimeter players expect, but it was so easy to get it on a center?

It's so weird!

Terry Stotts has a natural sense of offensive adjustment. When he simulated over and over again in his mind to move Wang Zelin from low to high, and changed it to coping; then from high to low, and switched to low-position attacking basket mode...

The whole person suddenly became full of energy, he knew that he was very likely to witness the birth of a monster center!

The premise is how Wang Zelin can switch freely between the two modes.

It's not just his problem, but a drastic change in a team and a system that requires long-term tacit cooperation from multiple parties.

Well, it's too early to talk about this, Terry Stotts suppressed his excitement and focused his attention back on the field.

Back in the second half.

When Yi Jianlian made two consecutive cuts and scored the 14th point of the game, the Nuggets called a timeout and decided to continue the strategy of double-teaming Wang Zelin.

Opposite the Trailblazer 6, there is something!

With a sigh, Brian Shaw looked at the people who had no fighting spirit and didn't know what to say.

Originally, the depth of the team was not enough. From the main force to the bench, they all had their own weaknesses, especially on the back line. Whether it was Ty Lawson or Nate Robinson, the height problem was too serious.

The outside line is seriously flawed, and the inside line can't guard against anyone, and the opponent is also targeted by the opponent, and the target is very successful.

If you can't defend and can't defend, if you continue to consume it, you can only be worn to death by the opponent, so let's attack.

Helpless, Brian Shaw could only arrange changes and put Ty Lawson and Nate Robinson on the court at the same time to strengthen the offensive firepower.

give up?

When Brian Shaw completed the Nuggets' evolution, Terry Stotts was surprised for a moment, and then his expression turned indifferent.

It turned out to be ready to give it a try!

In the next round, he immediately called a timeout and arranged changes on the offensive end, turning the second position into a three-point accuracy and solid defense Connet Lee.

The opponent is obviously a desperate lineup. The Blazers are more than ten points ahead of the opponent, and they need to play steadily. Don't follow the waves. Be careful with the waves.

Now that the opponent has caught up with the two shorties, prepare to be a breakthrough.

Trail Blazers attack.

Lillard held the ball on the outside, Wang Zelin hid to his left, and Nate Robinson tried to bypass the screen, but failed.

After Lillard made a tentative step to the left, he suddenly turned to the right. The next time Nate Robinson turned around, he collided with Wang Zelin. Due to the strength, he almost fell to the ground like a rebound after the collision.

hiss!

It must be painful.

The audience said silently in their hearts.

Lillard reached the inside line, and Ty Lawson stepped forward to block it. At the same time, Faderi also made up for it, and he was worried about Ty Lawson's defense.

However, just as Lillard and Ty Lawson collided, he hit the ball quickly. The basketball passed through the gap between Fadri and Ty Lawson, and happened to fall into Yi Jianlian's hands.

McGee wanted to block the shot, but Wang Zelinka couldn't move. Yi Jian jumped on the ball after receiving the ball. In McGee's unwilling eyes, he dunked with both hands.

At 55:40, the Nuggets were already 15 points behind.

After landing, the excited Yi Jianlian roared out.

Haven't played so well in a long time!

16 points, just a three-pointer.

His heart is looking forward, looking forward to the moment when he wins the bet!

As everyone knows, he has already fallen into someone's trap.

Trailing by 15 points, the Nuggets are in a hurry.

Ty Lawson got the ball and pushed desperately toward the Trail Blazers half court. Seeing the expressions on the faces waiting for their prey, the entire Nuggets felt a lot of pressure.

This time, Ty Lawson didn't make a breakthrough and chose a three-pointer. Unfortunately, his identity directly reached the front of the basket, and he didn't even adjust the arc.

Connet Lee's defense against Ty Lawson was too tight, leaving the latter only feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have enough physical strength to ensure the stability of his shooting hand when he took off.

This made Ty Lawson's already unstable basket even worse.

Wang Zelin jumped high and received his eighth rebound.

"Two pairs soon, are you ready for three pairs again?"

Terry Stotts shouted inwardly. With 2 rebounds and 5 assists, Wang Zelin will get his second triple-double of the season.

After landing, Wang Zelin took the initiative to push forward, and in the face of Nate Robinson's obstruction, he showed off a dribble, dribbled the ball behind his back easily, and pushed it all the way to the opponent's half.

Do you want to come by yourself?

Of course not ~www.mtlnovel.com~ If he wants to score, why should he wait until now.

Face the basket, step into the three-second zone, flick the ball to the backboard, and leave the rest to your teammates.

Directly followed by Yi Jianlian, at the moment when the basketball flew out, he accelerated the sprint from beyond the three-point line, getting more and more in...

It's now.

He jumped up, caught the bounced ball with his right palm, and slammed into the basket with all his strength.

18 points!

A season high of 18 points.

"Beautiful buckle!"

"It's also very beautiful!"

"Ha ha……"

The two laughed and retreated, ignoring the surrounding Nuggets players with fire-breathing eyes.
