NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 577 Once the sky hook comes out, who will fight!

"Long time no see, Lin."

The two sides first met in the player tunnel, and Wang Zelin took the initiative to say hello to Jeremy Lin.

Because the Trail Blazers intercepted Beverly in advance, and the Mosaic management chased Long to no avail this summer, Jeremy Lin was not traded to the Los Angeles Lakers as he remembered, but continued to stay in Space City.

However, judging from Jeremy Lin's current deteriorating status in the Aerospace City team, he can at most fulfill the last year of this season's contract, and next summer, he will most likely choose to leave Mosaic.

No way, whoever makes him and Harden both ball-handling guards, if he can't compete with Harden, his ending is doomed to leave sadly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Compared with Wang Zelin, Jeremy Lin's heart seemed a little heavy, and he seemed not very willing to communicate any more.

"Then we're going to play first."

He had also heard about Jeremy Lin's situation, but there was nothing he could do about it. After saying the last sentence, he led the team to play with his head held high.

soon.

The jump ball starts.

Wang Zelin and Howard jumped the ball, there was no suspense, and the Blazers attacked.

Mosaic quickly returned to defense, small forwards Ariza and Yi came to block Wang Zelin, and then returned to defend Barton.

Because his interception also made Wang Zhilin lose the opportunity to quickly attack the paint area, Howard and Motie Yunas retreated smoothly.

When Wang Zelin entered the paint area, he saw Howard spraying at him: "Your good days are over, today I will give you back everything I have suffered!"

Hearing this, Wang Zelin showed a disdainful smile: "No wonder Kobe would call you a coward. Look, Dad, I can blow you up with one hand!"

"You...wait for me!"

Thinking that Wang Zelin is still injured, Howard is full of confidence.

"Oh, it's so fast, Lillard is waving for a pick-and-roll, and Jokic is out." Zhang Lili yelled.

At this time, Jokic suddenly rushed down from the right-wing three-point line, blocked Motiejunas, and set a pick-and-roll screen for Lillard.

Then Lillard saw this opportunity, quickly cut in, made an open jumper, and hit a two-pointer from mid-range.

Mosaic attack.

Harden didn't even look at Jeremy Lin in the backcourt, directly asked Howard to hand the ball to him, and then slowly pushed forward.

Before the game, Wang Zelin read Harden's ability evaluation, which was 91 points.

It also means that he has officially set foot in the field of superstars.

In fact, Harden in my memory has been a first-team guard in the league since the 13-14 season, but last year because Kobe showed no obvious signs of decline, he had to stop at the second team.

But this year, as Kobe is one year older, it is time for the handover of the active No. [-] shooting guard.

Facing Connett Lee, Harden dribbled a few times on the spot like this. Suddenly, seeing the defender's center of gravity shifted, he suddenly accelerated to the right, easily dismantling the Blazers' defense.

At the basket, when Wang Zelin quickly moved to this side, and was about to turn around and attack Harden with Patton, Patton just dropped the defender, and then handed the ball to Ariza accurately!

"Shh!"

Three points rain falls.

The latter did not waste Harden's assist, and successfully hit the first goal of the night for Mosaic at a distance of 45 degrees from the left-wing three-point line.

3: 2.

Say something...

No matter how the fans in the future evaluate Harden, the longer he plays in the playoffs, the more critical he is, the softer his performance will be, but he is indeed the big brother of the big brothers in the regular season!

In terms of personal leadership ability alone, Harden at his peak is probably only slightly better than James, and even in the first three and a half quarters, his team performance will definitely not be inferior to James.

Of course, Ariza's goal is also worthy of the cheers of the mosaic fans on the scene.

Facts have proved once again that as long as Ariza is not used as a McGrady envoy and is only positioned as a starter for a strong team, Tiezha is definitely qualified, and he will never go anywhere if he simply casts an open spot.

"You and Howard are the same guy, you are both cowards!"

On the court, Wang Zelin was there, watching Harden on the way back to defense and said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Harden showed a wise smile to Wang Zelin, spread his hands and said: "Wang, this kind of worthless trash talk can't irritate me! Just wait and see, I must win you once!"

Wang Zelin: "???"

I rub!

When did the bearded player become so sensible?

Wait, he said he was going to beat me once.

Could it be that Harden really hasn't won himself in the past few years.

Someone recalled it carefully, and then showed a weird smile.

It seems, probably, it seems... The Mosaic team really hasn't won against themselves.

Thinking of it this way, he suddenly felt very proud.

The Blazers attacked. After Lillard dribbled the ball for halftime, the Mosaic team put up a 2-1-2 defensive position, which is conducive to the defense between the Mosaic players, as well as grabbing backboards and launching fast breaks.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

The area around the top of the arc, the two sides of the three-second zone, the two bottom corners, and the basket are all weak areas for defense.

This position completely despises me!

Wang Zelin muttered something in his heart, and took the initiative to mention the free throw line. After leaning against Howard, Lillard quickly dropped the ball into his hands.

On the imperial court, Yu Jia said: "It's finally here. The Trail Blazers and Mosaic's first match of the new season is also the first head-to-head confrontation between the king and Howard in the new season. Let's take a look at this ball. How is the king who just came back?"

As for ESPN, Drexler and Ewing also looked nervously at the field, hoping that Howard would not let down the madness of the two before the game.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

After the continuous collisions, Wang Zelin forcibly chiseled into the paint area. Before he was about to turn his back to violate the rule, he suddenly half-turned, leaning on Howard to grab the ball with one arm and leaped up.

Howard behind him saw the shot and took off desperately, even forgetting his back injury.But he was surprised to find that even if he took off with all his strength, he was still a long way from Wang Zelin's shot.

Shet!

Can a shot from this angle be covered by a human being?

Impossible to enter!Absolutely impossible!
however……

"Shh!!!"

The voices coming from behind all told Howard: "This goal has been scored!"

At 4:3, the Blazers went ahead by one point.

The audience is appalling, what kind of operation is this?
Hook? !
When did Wang Zelin develop the hook attack method again!

However, judging by Wang Zelin's proficiency in using hooks, he doesn't look like someone who learns and sells now, but looks more like a veteran who has practiced for a long time!

Could it be that this summer, he has not only evolved ball control and breakthrough, but also the current hook?
Drexler rubbed his eyes, came over and patted Ewing on the shoulder: "Ahem, buddy, I read it right... Or did I just have a hallucination..."

"No, that's definitely not an illusion. Wang Zelin really hooked his hand, and his posture is very skillful. He must have put in a lot of hard work! My God, why didn't he use this attack method during the previous 24 consecutive victories, or did he feel that the previous opponent was not worthy of him using this skill?!"

Ewing's fingers holding the mineral water bottle turned white, and his expression was extremely complicated.

As one of the four major centers in the past, which one is not a proud generation.

Legendary center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook is one of the most unnatural offensive methods in NBA history, and I don't know how many younger generations covet and want to inherit it.

It's a pity that even Olajuwon, the most skilled among the four major centers, failed to practice the sky hook!

However, Wang Zelin's offensive method just now is very similar to the sky hook that the four major center forwards couldn't ask for back then...

If it is what Ewing thinks, then this young man Wang Zelin is simply too scary. He has practiced the sky hook, which can be called a unique move against the sky, and he can still stabilize his mentality and choose to hide his clumsiness. This is not the mentality and city that young people can have...

The hook like Wang Zelin just now, in the eyes of the fans and media reporters on the sidelines, is that the sky hook stunt reappears in the league, how similar to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's posture back then, and the same ecstasy!
But Wang Zelin knew that his hook was far from the effect of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook...

The skill of Tiangou, just like CIC, is enough for him to learn for a lifetime.

He has just learned it for a few days, and the effective attack range he can guarantee at present is as far as near the free throw line. He still can't cover the entire three-point line stably like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook attack range...

But no matter how you say it, this is a skyhook after all!

Skyhook, a unique skill that has been nearly lost since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired, has disappeared from the league for so long that people have forgotten the terrifying power of this attack.

……

Howard was going to be dazed, as if there were ten thousand mud horses galloping past in his heart, he never thought that Wang Zelin could still use the sky hook? !

As a center forward, he understands what the Skyhook stands for. If the skyhook practiced by the king can reach the level of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he thinks that he should go to bed early, the number one center forward, he will no longer be able to arouse any competitive spirit...

Even, when Howard saw the Skyhook from the live big screen playback, he had a faint premonition in his heart:
He always felt that sooner or later, No. 36 on the opposite side would perform another legendary center forward stunt in front of him - "Fantasy Dance!"

This premonition is extremely strong.

The mosaic generals who were stunned by Wang Zelin's sky hook lost their rhythm on the court, especially Howard, who was mainly defending Wang Zelin, was hit by the former's hooks near the paint area one after another!
At the beginning, under the leadership of Wang Zelin, the Blazers directly overwhelmed the Mosaic team and played a wave of 13-3 offensive climax!

Among them, Wang Zelin took 6 shots by himself, scored 5 of them with the sky hook, and scored 10 points!
Harden felt like he was going crazy. The game has only been played for 4 minutes. Do you want to be so exaggerated and score 10 points alone? !

Is this the rhythm to hit the historical record of 33 points in a single quarter?
Mosaic only scored 4 points in 3 minutes. In addition to the reasons for his poor hand feeling, there were also reasons for the influence of Wang Zelin.

After all, I thought the game was under control, but suddenly a player with skyhook appeared on the opponent, and this skyhook was played decently, it was definitely not that kind of stuff, with a hit rate of 6 out of 5, this fucking is a real skyhook!

Anyone who encounters it will have huge waves in their hearts!
Soon, Mosaic coach Kevin McHale called a timeout. He knew that he couldn't continue playing like this. If he continued to play like this, Mosaic's game would definitely be over.

Not only is this game over, but if Wang Zelin can kill them with a skyhook today, wouldn't he be able to do so in the next game?

Or, is there really someone who would foolishly think that Wang Zelin would save Mosaic some face? !
"Guys, cheer up, he's not really Kareem, just a few hooks, nothing to be afraid of!"

McHale stood up, showed the tactical board, and shouted at his players.

But the players disagreed.

A few hooks...just pay?

If it is an ordinary hook, then most NBA players know it, but the hook of the guy on the other side is not ordinary at all...

Can an ordinary hook hit more than [-]% of the shots defended by two seven-footers inside?
Howard's face was ashen. He felt that Wang Zelin deliberately forced his comeback just to set a trap for himself.He had already learned the skyhook early on, but he hadn't used it all the time. Didn't he just wait until the two teams met for the first time in the new season and use it to deal with him?

I remembered that since 12, when Wang Zelin faced me for the first time, I seem to have never won a game.

Although the two met for the first time, Howard scored 25 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, obviously surpassing Wang Zelin who scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and [-] blocks in terms of statistics, but what's the use of that?

Since then, whenever the two met, Wang Zelin was able to suppress Howard in all aspects from team to personal data...

Recalling the past scenes and the sky hook just now, Howard felt a sense of fear for Wang Zelin for the first time in his heart.

The other party is like his own nemesis, no, including the previous Yao, all the insiders of the Celestial Dynasty are his own nemesis.

Happy Beast couldn't be happier this time, sitting on the chair at a loss, then looked at Mike Hale intently, expecting the coach to come up with a feasible plan!
However, from the mouth of the coach, what he heard was "Come on!", "Hold on!", "We can win!" and other empty words.

However, McHale finally emphasized that a crazy double-team strategy should be adopted against Wang Zelin, and the latter must never be allowed to catch the ball.

After all, so what if the Skyhook is powerful?Even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar comes, it's useless if he can't catch the ball!

McHale thought so.

After the timeout ended, Harden and others returned to the court with a heavy heart...

According to the coach's arrangement, Ariza, Motiejunas, and Howard surrounded Wang Zelin in a small encirclement. It would be very difficult for Lillard to pass the ball to Wang Zelin.

Wang Zelin expressed that he was very depressed. He had just had a good time for a few minutes before being arranged by the opposite party...

I don't know, I thought he could only hold on for a few minutes?
It's all because of that broken refrigerator coach, who specializes in bad guys and good things...
