NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 609 Visiting the North Shore Garden
1 month 23 day.

On a charter flight carrying the Portland Trail Blazers to Boston.

At a glance, the charter plane was full of laughter.

"LaMarcus, if you don't come back again, the fans will wonder if you were cut by the team." Batum picked up the magazine while talking.

Judging from the cover, it should be the most recent issue of Playboy magazine.

"I didn't expect that the recovery time from this injury would take so long. During this time, everyone has worked hard."

Aldridge scratched his head and smiled shyly.

I still remember that when Aldridge was first injured, the initial detection that night was a second-degree injury to the right ankle ligament, and it was estimated that it would take about three weeks to recover.

As a result, I arrived at the hospital the next day. After more sophisticated machine testing, everyone knew that Aldridge's injury was more serious than the team doctor imagined. Therefore, it took him five full weeks to fully recover.

"Haha, stop talking about those disturbing things. After getting off the plane, let's go to celebrate LaMarcus's comeback. In addition, I will tell everyone a good news. According to Orsi's reply, it is estimated that Will will recover in two days."

On the other side, Wang Zelin also brought another good news to his teammates.

"really?"

"Will is fine too!"

"Haha, it seems that it won't be long before our Portland Legion will sweep the league again!"

"..."

After getting Matthews' accurate return time, the team's morale rose by another point.

At the same time, I am more confident about the last devil's schedule at the end of the month.

Devil's schedule, right?

Next let you know what the real devil is!
……

After arriving in Boston, everyone took the bus to the hotel that the team had booked in advance.

Since there is still a game tomorrow, under Terry Stotts' utmost patience, Wang Zelin and his teammates briefly celebrated Aldridge's comeback, then returned to the hotel and took the time to rest.

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Zelin came to a training ground temporarily rented by the team on the banks of the Charles River in the center of Boston for daytime training.

During the training arrangement, Aldridge took the initiative to ask Wang Zelin to be in a group for confrontation training.

Obviously, the long absence made Aldridge attach great importance to tonight's comeback battle, so he found Wang Zelin, the top defender in the league, hoping to find his best form as soon as possible under high pressure.

Wang Zelin enjoyed it, Aldridge has a strong desire to fight tonight!

In the arena, the desire to fight is not the desire to score...

"How many points are you planning to score tonight?"

Wang Zelin asked casually.

"Um……"

Hearing this question, Aldridge stopped changing his training clothes.

"Why don't I set a small goal for you, 30 points! How about it? Are you confident?"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the basketball and went straight to the basket, dunking with both hands in one fell swoop!
Then, slammed the ball in the direction of Aldridge.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, Aldridge dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket, slamming a one-handed dunk.

"hey-hey!"

"Ha ha!"

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

……

……

The Boston Celtics are one of the two giant teams. After dismantling the 2010 championship lineup in the past two seasons, they officially announced that they have entered the reconstruction.

Last summer, after reaching a deal with the Lakers and sending away the 15th captain in history, Rajon Rondo, the current record collapsed as expected.

Now, the Celtics' record is 13 wins and 26 losses, ranking firmly at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.Judging from this trend, they will most likely miss the Eastern Conference playoffs for two consecutive years.

Only Wang Zelin knows that this is such a horrific Celtics team. After trading Isaiah Thomas from the free market during the All-Star period, they continued to exert their strength in the second half of the schedule, and finally grabbed a playoff goal in the Eastern Conference.

And all of this, in addition to the players' credit, largely depends on the current rookie coach Brad Stevens of the Green Army.

Stevens, who led the Celtics to a record of 25 wins and 57 losses in the regular season last season, is still in an unfavorable situation. It was not until after the All-Star that his value was slowly discovered.

well, let's get back to business.

Back to tonight's game.

The Celtics, who have suffered a three-game losing streak before, will welcome the defending champion Portland Trail Blazers at home tonight.

In this battle, even the most loyal Green Army fans don't think they can beat the menacing Trail Blazers in an upset.

The only thing to watch in tonight's game is Aldridge, who has just returned from injury. What will be his state?
Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Celtics: Avery Bradley, Evan Turner, Jae Crowder, Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger.

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Connet Lee, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.

Just one stop on the court, when the Green Army fans in the North Shore Garden saw Aldridge and Wang Zelin, the pair of tall and proud insiders, they hadn't started playing, and their hearts were already half cold.

There is no way, it is really that the inside combination of the Green Army on the field is too short at this time.

Center Jared Salinger is only 2 meters tall, a full 06 centimeters shorter than Wang Zelin; Brandon Bass is also too short, only 10 meters tall, and Aldridge, who he will face tonight, is 2 meters tall.

Not to mention, there is a huge gap in hard power between these two groups of insiders.

How is this played?
The entire North Shore Garden Arena began to be shrouded in an atmosphere of despair.

However, what should come is still coming.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Zelin jumped the ball and touched the ball first, and the Blazers attacked.

It is impossible for the Celtics insiders, whether it is Jared Sullinger or Brandon Bass, to stop Wang Zelin's dragon charge, so Stevens arranged for Turner to find a rest in advance and interfere with Wang Zelin's sprint in time.

Unfortunately, he overestimated Turner's courage.

Facing the full-speed sprint of a seven-foot-long man, Turner faltered at a critical moment and dodged aside ahead of time.

This allowed Wang Zelin to shoot straight in and kill the Celtics' penalty area unimpeded all the way.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the pass, Wang Zelin did not rush into a dunk as the surrounding fans imagined.

I saw him slow down, then smashed the ball high into the backboard, and shouted:

"LaMarcus!"

The next moment, a figure of No. 12 appeared behind him, jumped high, caught the rebounded ball, and slammed into the basket with both hands...

boom--!
This person is just Aldridge who has just returned.
