NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 588 A lot of people will be crazy if you are not old
"Snapped!"

Duncan was not even interested in the jumping action. The moment the referee threw the ball into the sky, he immediately turned and returned to defense.After giving the racket to his teammate, Wang Zelin suddenly felt dull after witnessing the behavior of the Spurs.

As soon as he entered the inside line, Duncan had already appeared on the route Wang Zelin was preparing to attack.

Lillard passed the ball to Wang Zelin.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the ball, looking at Duncan who still had an 82 score in front of him, his expression was so weird that he couldn't help but blurt out:

"Tim, when will you be old?"

"..." Duncan obviously didn't expect Wang Zelin to ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then thoughtfully replied: "Who knows? Maybe it's this year?"

"Old guy, no matter how old you are, many people will go crazy!"

After making another complaint, Wang Zelin half turned around, turned his back to Duncan, and chose a tough back-to-back singles.

"Oh!"

The two have been engaged in non-stop physical confrontation!

What makes Duncan helpless is that even though he has tried his best, the result he can get is still continuous retreat.The guy in front of him is like a bulldozer, pushing him to the inside!

Wang Zelin, who was close to the basket, turned around decisively and took advantage of the situation to fly into the air. Duncan, who was pressed under him, couldn't exert any strength at all, so he could only watch helplessly as Wang Zelin easily dunked the ball into the basket.

boom--!
Wang Zelin, who dunked with one hand, contributed the first attack of the game.

"I knew that the king would not let us down!"

"Tim is old after all, and the chapter of a new era has begun!"

In the TNT live seat, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are responsible for tonight's commentary.

In the first attack at the beginning, Duncan was completely reduced to the background board under Wang Zelin's body. Although this was not the first time, this time it was different.It's not just that Wang Zelin's offense is more relaxed and calm, but Duncan's state has declined compared to last season.

Of course, it is normal for Duncan to decline. After all, he is 38 years old and is the oldest group of active players. If he can maintain the state of the previous two seasons, it will be hell.

As soon as the game started, Wang Zelin announced his arrival with a tough basket attack!
So what if it's an AT&Center?
So what if your shouts are fanatical?
I'm coming!I see!I conquer!
After all, competitive sports is not an event in which victory or defeat is determined only by words.

Sometimes, actual actions are far more shocking than those who can only talk.

Duncan was also very annoyed, because in the confrontation just now, he found that he had nothing to do with Wang Zelin, which made him feel very helpless.

This is obviously not a good sign. If the confrontation continues like this, he may not be able to limit Wang Zelin's performance in this game.

And the chain reaction brought about by this is that including him, the entire Spurs will become the background board for the Blazers' winning streak!
This is definitely unacceptable to Duncan, Simavich, and the entire Spurs team.

They made a background board for the Christmas war last year. This year is their revenge battle. They must not lose to the same opponent twice!
sidelines.

After seeing Wang Zelin easily hit the ball in front of Duncan, Sima Weiqi's face was serious. He understood that the current situation could limit Wang Zelin on the court, and he was probably gone.

Speaking of it, he was also extremely confused and puzzled by the player Wang Zelin.

As strong as O'Neal at the beginning of the century, he also has a shark-slashing tactic to limit it a little bit. However, this guy in front of him is not only scary in physical fitness, but also has a comprehensive offensive arsenal, and his defense is also top-notch. Such an existence cannot be restricted on the court.

This reminded him suddenly, the once "big dream" Olajuwon!
To be honest, among the four major centers, it is Olajuwon who has truly integrated offense and defense on the court, and truly dominated the court on both ends of the offense and defense.

The performance of Wang Zelin in front of him on the court inexplicably began to overlap with the figure of Olajuwon in Sima Weiqi's memory.

And if you want to completely restrict such a guy, in addition to the players on the field, only the referee has this ability!

If Wang Zelin can get into foul trouble in advance, then his inside crisis will be self-defeating!
Therefore, Sima Weiqi quickly made tactical gestures to the players on the field, signaling them to try their best to cause damage to Wang Zelin!
As long as this can be done, then everything in front of me will naturally be solved.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs attack.

Parker pushed forward with the ball, and Duncan asked for the ball near the free throw line. Without hesitation, he decisively handed the ball out.

At this moment, Wang Zelin also appeared behind Duncan in a timely manner.

Then, Parker signaled everyone to pull away, and Duncan decided to play one single.

Due to the influence of the Spurs team culture, the cooperation of the players on the field is still very high, quickly opened up the space, and gave Duncan a one-on-one opportunity.

Duncan's purpose for this ball was to make a foul, so he chose to attack frontally when facing Wang Zelin's defense, which would help him better judge the defense and make appropriate changes.

"Oh!"

After a short thought, Duncan chose to break through.

But at the next moment, Wang Zelin blocked him from inside, making Duncan almost drop the ball.

The ball is about to die, and at the critical moment, the importance of solid basic skills is clearly revealed. Duncan suddenly stood up, then made a sudden effort, turned half-turned and scored with a hook.

nice shot!

Wang Zelin praised from the bottom of his heart.

Old ginger is old ginger, still so spicy!

Fine!Since you ticked off one, let me see if I don't return one to you later.

After calming down his inner fluctuations a little, Wang Zelin served the ball and re-entered the offensive round.

frontcourt.

In the same position, Wang Zelin continued to stand in a low position holding the basketball, raised it high to test it, and made a motion to shoot.But this time Duncan was more careful and didn't give Wang Zelin an easy chance to make a move.

Because Duncan understands that if he doesn't follow the ball, there is a high probability that the kid on the opposite side will shoot directly. The latter's mid-range shooting ability is also among the best among active big players.

In fact, maybe the dynamic physical fitness is no longer there, but the historical level of static physical fitness, super defensive sense and sophisticated on-the-spot experience make Duncan's defense at the basket still strong.

It is almost certain that more than [-]% of active insiders will have lower offensive efficiency when facing Duncan's defense.

It's a pity that Wang Zelin is the strongest among the only [-]%!
I saw Wang Zelin supporting Duncan with one hand and dribbling the ball in with the other, and his action made Sima Weiqi on the sidelines stand up immediately.

Skyhook... is it coming?
Under the continuous impact, Duncan could only shrink the line of defense little by little. At this moment, Wang Zelin quickly changed his back to face up, then turned sideways on the spot, grabbed the ball with his right hand and swung it round...

Like a round moon scimitar, the basketball fell cleanly into the net bag of the carriage with a radiant glow.

This, this ball is...

Skyhook! ! !

This kid actually learned the skyhook!

Along with the friction sound of the basketball hitting the net, there was another icy voice in Duncan's ears:
"Tim, you alone can't stop me!"

On the TNT commentary table.

"Kenny, when was the last time you saw a skyhook live?"

A gleam flashed in Barkley's eyes, and he asked his partner beside him with a shocked expression.

"The last time I saw a skyhook? It dates back to the 87~86 season. I remember that year, I was just a rookie in the first grade!"

Kenny Smith replied to you lightly, but his heart was already full of waves.

"You know what it was like when I faced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the first time on the court and then saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tear through the 75ers' interior defense with a skyhook?"

"At that time, I was thinking, God! Is this an offensive method that humans can complete? Sheit...As a rookie at the time, I was terrified of a player for the first time in my life!"

Before Kenny Smith could answer, Barkley turned his head and looked off the court, staring at the back of Wang Zelin returning to defense, with a look of lingering fear.

At least on the offensive end, Barkley has never seen such an unreasonable offensive method like Brother Tian!

And after so many years, he once again saw the super stunt that used to run through the 80s and [-]s from another center - Skyhook!
Yao's compatriot, is this going against the heavens?

"Blow up the Spurs! Blow up the Spurs! Blow up the Spurs!"

Seeing that Wang Zelin scored twice on Duncan's head and scored two consecutive goals, more than 3000 Blazers fans at the scene shouted out their thoughts in unison.

They hope that the Blazers will defeat the Spurs again on the stage of the Christmas game that basketball fans all over the world pay close attention to like last year!

Faced with the vocal response from the Blazers fans, Wang Zelin also became interested. When returning to defense, he suddenly made a celebratory move of O'Neal's overlord step. Obviously, he is enjoying the current atmosphere very much at this moment.

This action quickly aroused the anger of the home team fans, boos and curses poured down on him.

After all, this is the home of the Spurs. When the fans of the home team are united, their voices quickly overwhelm the voices of more than 3000 Trail Blazers fans.

The Spurs attacked again.

Anger was written on the faces of all the players. Obviously, the actions just now angered, not only the fans on the sidelines but also the players who were fighting on the field!

Parker advanced quickly, and after passing Lillard, the ball was passed to the "Italian Cannon" Belinelli in the left corner, who made a quick three-pointer.

Jokic's defense rotation came a little slower, and the ball did not disturb him too much.

A sound from Duang.

However, Belinelli's shot hit the frame, and his first shot was with the iron high school.

At the basket, Duncan firmly took the initiative. His footwork was much more solid than Happy Beast, and his position was always stuck between Wang Zelin and the basket.

"Snapped!"

Successfully protected the offensive rebound.

After grabbing the rebound, Duncan made another time difference, avoided Wang Zelin's block, and scored with a small hook.

At 4:4, the two sides tied.

Compared with Wang Zelin's dunk and skyhook, Duncan's two goals are too simple and unpretentious, but this is also the charm of Shifo.

Seemingly calm and low-key, but with solid on-court performance to carry a team forward, and just carry it for more than ten years.

"Gentlemen and ladies, this is Stone Buddha! This is Tim Duncan! This man deserves the applause and cheers of fans everywhere!"

This group of new and old duels on the court made Kenny Smith very emotional.

Stick to the green hills and don't relax, let the wind from east to west, north and south!
Not only Kenny Smith, Wang Zelin was also deeply moved at this time.

However, this aroused his fighting spirit again, and he must personally destroy the Spurs tonight.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Then came the solo performance time for the Blazers No. 36.

This time he catches the ball outside the paint, throws a skyhook over Duncan, and then hits the net hollow again on the latter's unthreatening block.

Wang Zelin went in and continued to spray at Duncan:

"Keep going, Tim! Hit me one more time, don't let me down!"

Facing the opponent's verbal attack, Duncan didn't see any change on his face, he just picked up the ball silently and sent it to Parker.

Then, Duncan caught another pass at the free throw line, and then focused on the running teammate.

At this moment, Danny Green cut in from the right corner, and after realizing that Danny Green had a chance, he decisively passed the ball in.

Green received the ball, made a layup and hit a goal.

6:6, it was tied again.

"Haha, Tim seems to be telling me with his actions, hey boy, don't underestimate me, I'm not too old to move." Barkley laughed.

"Yes, the Spurs are still the Spurs, and Duncan is still the same Duncan. No matter who they are, facing this team, they must show [-]% focus."

Kenny Smith also laughed.

Trail Blazers attack.

Wang Zelin was in a hot state. He overcame Duncan in the high position, and when he got to the basket, he dunked the basket with both hands.

From the first quarter to the present, the whole game seems to have become a show for Wang Zelin and Duncan, both of whom are using their own methods to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Wang Zelin was in a hot state, relying on strong offensive firepower, he captured the enemy's positions time and time again.

Duncan has rich experience and can always adapt to the situation at critical moments, helping the Spurs quickly catch up with the score in the most appropriate way.

More than seven minutes into the first quarter, Parker broke through and assisted Duncan to hit the board at a 45-degree angle. At 15:15, the Spurs once again tied the score.

The fans at the scene were restless. The intensity of the match between the two teams tonight exceeded everyone's expectations!
From the current point of view, their fare is worth it.

After the full-court pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin ran back and cut, and after receiving the ball, facing Split's defense, he pulled it up and dunked.

"Don't think about being presumptuous!"

Unexpectedly, this time, Splitter hugged Wang Zelin with both hands, pulling hard, desperately trying to attack.

"Duang!"

Encountered pulling, Wang Zelin also smashed the ball, and then his center of gravity became unstable after landing, and he almost fell to the floor.

"Fuck, what the hell do you want to do!"

"If you want to fight, labor and management will accompany you!"

"..."

The unexpected situation at the basket made the teammates behind Wang Zelin immediately annoyed.

The previous wave of injuries is still vivid, and they don't want to see anyone injured again, especially their boss Wang Zelin.

Beep——!
The referee was also taken aback by Splitter's sudden superiority, and quickly stopped the game, and hurried to the middle of the players on both sides.

On the other side, the Spurs players immediately surrounded him.

The scene fell into chaos for a while.

"Okay, I'm fine! Come back!"

At this time, Wang Zelin spoke and hurriedly called his teammates to stop him.

"call!"

Seeing this scene, the referee slowly put down a boulder in his heart.

Then, without hesitation, he sentenced Splitter to a first-level malicious foul, only to see that the anger of the Blazers generals could be calmed down.

However, after experiencing such a situation, the smell of gunpowder on the field became more intense, followed by a greater scale of whistleblowing and...more intense physical collisions.
