NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 571

Amid the boos from the away fans, Lillard received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and he saw that the opposing defense was in place.

Opposite Lillard is Zhu Holiday, a defender with a strong defense, the disadvantage is that his shooting is not stable. Although his offense is not stable, the reason why he can be recognized by so many teams is related to his defensive ability.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Holedi will have a rather interesting title in the future: "Lillard Nemesis!"

It is because Lillard, who has entered the peak of his career and has exploded in scoring ability under the iron-blooded defense of Holiday in a set of series in the playoffs in a certain year, has a total of 71 heads and 25 performances in 4 games. There is a loss of standard.

That should be the worst series in Lillard's career. In addition to his own injury, another part of the reason is that he encountered a top defender like Holiday.

Of course, Lillard obviously doesn't know the number 11 in front of him now, which will make him extremely embarrassing in the future.

At this time, he only had one thought in his heart, that is to play the game tonight.

After a few tests on the outside, he realized that the defense of No. 11 on the opposite side was extremely solid, and he might have difficulty breaking through, so he decisively called a pick-and-roll.

Seeing this, Jokic immediately pulled to a high position to cover Lillard.

At this time, Lillard has never reached the peak of his playing career, but fortunately, due to the influence of injuries in the past two seasons, the competitive state of the opposite pig Holiday has not returned to the 12-year All-Star, and he was beaten by Jockey. Qi Heng blocked his body and was unable to follow him immediately.

"When there is a chance, what will Lillard choose? Oh, he shot directly from the three-point line. This is Lillard's first shot of the game, or a three-pointer. Can he score? "

As soon as today's live commentator Brent Barry finished speaking, the Nets threw white waves.

3:2.

Lillard happily compared three fingers, and then called on his teammates to quickly return to defense.

In front of the bench, Wang Zelin stood up excitedly, waving a towel for Lillard excitedly.

At this time, a careful reporter discovered that Wang Zelin's hand waving the towel was actually the injured left hand.

Could it be that Wang Zelin's injury is not as serious as what was reported on the Internet?

But in any case, the reporter has written down this scene, and at this moment, he has already thought about the writing content after today's game.

He always felt that today's scene seemed to herald something, maybe there was a breaking point waiting for him.

Back on the field.

The Pelicans had their second offense, and this time they still played those.

In the trade market this year, the Pelicans reached a three-way deal with the Mosaic and the Wizards. From this deal, the Pelicans got the Mosaic team's starting center Omir Asik for the past two seasons.

In the past two seasons, due to the presence of Howard, who has a very similar technical style and surrounds him in all aspects, the tactical position of the Turkish big center has been repeatedly weakened. In addition to the accidental injury last year, he only played for half a season. Abandoned by the Mosaic team management.

Coincidentally, at this time, the management of the Pelicans was willing to come and take over, and the two teams reached the deal with satisfaction.

At present, Asik has played for the Pelicans in more than 20 games, averaging 7+9 data per game. As a starter for a weak team, he is barely qualified.

Of course, the biggest effect of his arrival is to better liberate Anthony Davis, allowing the latter to shift more attention to offense.

After halftime, Pig Holiday opened the pass to Davis, who wanted the ball in the middle distance.

Davis faced Jokic in the middle distance, full of confidence. The Pelicans fans shouted desperately and they all wanted to see how their No. 1 pick would teach the Blazers this year's rookie!

As a new hope in the domestic line of the United States, Davis, who was known as the "son of the United States" before he entered the league, is definitely a representative of talent.

Of course, as far as the normal development law is concerned, as the No. 1 pick, Davis' growth rate is completely worthy of the expectations of the outside world. The reason why the outside world generally believes that if the 12th draft is rearranged, Davis will no longer be ranked in the first round. Number one selected...

It's entirely because they have produced a once-in-decade super rookie Wang Zelin who is comparable to guys like O'Neal and Duncan!

I can only blame him for being so unlucky!

In order to face the skepticism from the media and fans, this summer, Davis strengthened his outside shooting, breakthrough dribbling and post-up skills in order to prove himself.

The Davis in front of him has made rapid progress, surpassing the Davis in Wang Zelin's memory.

It can only be said that the environment can really affect a person's growth.

After taking a few tentative steps in the middle distance, Davis suddenly accelerated to break through, wanting to pass the white fat man in front of him in one step.

There were already people cheering outside the court, but it backfired. Just as Davis rushed out a step, he was blocked by Jokic!

The fat loss during this period is not in vain. Fans who have watched the game should be able to find that in the last few games, Jokic's lateral speed has improved by leaps and bounds compared to the beginning of the game.

At this moment, Adams appeared just right at the basket and jumped to block.

"Snapped!"

After Adams delivered a big cap, he immediately took off again and grabbed the rebound. He found Lillard at the first time, then turned and flew towards the opposite half.

Lillard received the ball, keenly aware of a loophole in the opponent's formation, resolutely accelerated, and made a fast break.

He was in the middle, Connet Lee and Adams were on the sides, three arrows going down at the same time.

If it is a real strong team, it is naturally difficult to give the opponent such a fast break opportunity... Unfortunately, the Pelicans are still far behind!

In the end, only Zhu Holiday returned to the defense in time for the Pelicans, but it is obviously unrealistic to want to defend one by three.

"Steven!"

Lillard shouted and threw the ball into the sky from the outside.

Connet Lee and Adams understood, the former could slow down and move to the right, blocking Zhu Holiday. The latter accelerated the sprint, entered the paint after two steps, jumped up, and caught the pass...

"boom!"

Pretty violent hands smashing buttons.

"Steven! Steven!"

Wang Zelin was the first to stand up to cheer for his teammates. Those who didn't know it thought he was the cheerleader.

"Steven! Steven! Steven!"

Under his leadership, more than 2,000 Blazers fans at the scene also shouted loudly.

To be honest, if Adams is only asked from a blue-collar perspective, Adams is definitely a very good center. Although he is not a star, he has a hard-working personality, no big mouth, no complaints, no data, as long as he can win The ball, a player who can do anything, is too suitable to be a teammate.

And in fact it is.

When Jokic was selected by the Trail Blazers with the title of "Wang Zelin", and then quickly replaced himself as the first backup center last season, Adams said in his heart that he was not disappointed, but he never showed it. I chose to practice silently after returning home every day, just to be reused by the team again.

As a rookie, Adams was both lucky and unlucky.

Fortunately, as soon as he entered the league, he was able to follow his strong teammates and strong teams all the way through, and ushered in the first championship of his career. Adams, who felt the baptism of the strong team culture when he debuted, will definitely yearn for the taste of reaching the top in the future, and he will make unremitting efforts to this end.

Unfortunately, due to the limitation of talent, Adams did not get very good training resources in such a championship-winning team, and the team management did not have much patience to wait for Adams to grow.

Because they have Wang Zelin, that's enough.

If that's not enough, now that the Blazers have talent, significantly more than Adams' Jokic, there is no reason for the team's management to use the only resources to cultivate Adams instead of Jokic.

Generally speaking, in this case, the future left to prove the player can only be traded by the team, and then strive for some immediate combat power.

After all, how can a team with real potential to compete for a championship have so much time and energy to cultivate a rookie... Unless it is a rookie with a strong immediate combat power like O'Neal, Duncan and now Wang Zelin who debuted and peaked.

Obviously, Adams is not at this level.

In fact, Adams was placed on the trading shelf by the team management on the night that Wang Zelin was injured and retired early in the last game.

Adams himself also received the news that he was very likely to be traded this morning. At the beginning, he must have been very uneasy and flustered, but when he learned another news that "the head coach is very likely to arrange him to be the starting center tonight", he quickly corrected his mentality and replied to the coaching staff. talk:

As long as he's on the team for a day, he'll do his best to play every game that comes next.

Today's game is not only the first time Adams has played as a starting center since he joined the Blazers, it may also be the last time.

Therefore, he cherishes every minute and every second he plays today...

Looking back, the Pelicans quickly launched a counterattack.

Davis continued to ask for the ball to single against Jokic. This time, he was more cautious. After a few tries, he made a clean life for Jokic.

Seeing that the basket was temporarily unattended, Davis was heartbroken and strode inside.

After a few steps, he jumped up with the ball in his hands, and the fans on the sidelines were restless, and finally got the long-awaited picture.

Go buckle it!

A good wrecking ball for a Blazers rim.

But no one noticed that in the bottom corner on the left, a figure was rushing towards.

"what!!!!"

Davis has already roared, and he clearly felt that the ball had already got the basket, and he was about to tremble at the last moment.

"Snapped!"

With a sudden block, Adams's dunks were guaranteed, and the dunks flew!

"This……"

Brent Barry tried to speak, but found himself unable to make a sound.

He was amazed!

Who is the handsome white No. 12 on the field? Such athleticism and capping smell?

You know, the target he just blocked was Anthony Davis, who was once in the limelight and the most popular in the 12th draft!

Even now, even though Davis is now farther and farther apart from Wang Zelin in the same class, he is still one of the best big men in active service.

In the eyes of many people, Davis is even the best No. 4 in the new generation!

From this point of view, he and Wang Zelin can be compared together.

well, let's get back to business.

Back on the field.

Davis landed and looked at No. 12 of the Trail Blazers who blocked him behind him. His first reaction was:

What the hell! Who is this guy?

At this moment, he was also taken aback.

But the game waited for no one. Will Barton was in an excellent position. He immediately touched the ball that bounced back, and then turned around and made a fast break.

Just came to the middle circle, Will Barton suddenly threw the ball to the right!

Zhu Huo Ledi looked over immediately, and his face changed greatly, because Lillard, who was wearing the No. 0 of the Blazers, was standing on the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

This is the three-point maniac who made 177 three-pointers in his rookie year, breaking the previous record of 166 three-pointers in a rookie season held by Stephen Curry, and let this guy get an open seat, isn't it? ...

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of a hollow goal swiping the net came, and Zhu Holedi stopped immediately.

At 8:2, the Pelicans were in crisis as soon as they opened.

Is referral the pressure of defending champions?

Even in a state of remnants...

The Pelicans fans were looking forward to seeing the improvement of their players, and they wanted to see the home team steal a chicken while Wang Zelin was absent. What did they see?

Damian Lillard, who hit three-pointers in a row on the offensive end!

A defensive end with two blocks to start with... oh shit, they can't even remember the name of the opposing 12.

Of course, that doesn't matter anymore.

What's important is that they saw that Anthony Davis, who was 10,000, came up with two singles in a row, all of which have been ended by the tragic way of the opponent's blood cap.

Please tell them how to play this ball?

Are the Pelicans players on the field worthy of their tickets?

So, here comes the classic part:

Swallow the money back!

The difference is that the poor North American people don't have as rich a vocabulary as our Great Celestial Dynasty. They can only express their dissatisfaction with the current performance of the home team by constantly booing.

beep——!

Pelicans coach Monty Williams asked for a timeout.

"Shh! Shh! Shh..."

Fans on the sidelines are naturally more and more dissatisfied.

what is this?

Do you take the initiative to admit that the Blazers in their remaining state can't win?

The next moment, when the camera goes to the Pelicans' bench, to the young leader of the Pelicans, Anthony Davis...

It was only then that people discovered that Davis had buried his head in the towel. At this moment, the young man was full of confusion.

He even began to doubt his own abilities?

The bellwether mentality is like that, let alone other role players.

"At 104:91, the Portland Trail Blazers finally won the Pelicans by 13 points on the road. They proved with practical actions that even back to back, even if they lost their star Wang Zelin and the other three main players, they would still Still one of the strongest teams in the West;

Defending champion ~www.mtlnovel.com~ as it should be!

Failure is short-lived, pain is short-lived, and what awaits them is a bright future! "

Brent Barry quickly made his final comment as the buzzer that signaled the end of the game resounded through the New Orleans Arena.

After the game, Wang Zelin raised his arms excitedly, rushed to the court, and hugged Adams.

In this game, Adams played 33 minutes and scored 12 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks. All three data set career highs, and his performance is not unremarkable.

In the end, he beat Lillard, who had 26 points and 9 assists, and was named the best of the game.

Adams, who was named the player of the game for the first time, blushed.

However, the good times did not last long, and before everyone was happy for too long, the Trail Blazers officially reported that Adams was traded after the game.
