NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 624 The All-Star Countdown
On February 2015, 2, the NBA regular season continued.

After the battle in January, entering February, the Trail Blazers continued their winning streak, further securing their No. 1 position in the league!
At this time, only the Warriors' 38 wins and 8 losses can bring them a little pressure.

In addition, the Mosaic team, like the third monk in the West, has a current record of 33 wins and 15 losses; the fourth-ranked Clippers, behind the essence of Mosaic's current record, have come to 33 wins and 14 losses.

As for those who are further behind, there is no need to say more.

On the 6th, there were not many games arranged by the league, only 4 games.

The Wizards played the Hornets away, the Clippers played the Cavaliers at home, the Mavericks played the Kings at home, and the Suns played the Thunder at home.

Wang Zelin, who stayed at home, was always paying attention to the matchup between the Clippers and the Cavaliers, because both sides are strong players in the league.

When he came to the Staples Center, although his opponent was not the number 24 that he was most looking forward to, perhaps because he came to a familiar arena, James was in a very hot state as soon as he came up. He staged dunks one after another and ravaged the basket.

在出战28分钟的情况下，14投8中，三分球2中1，罚球7中6，相当高效的砍下了23分3板13助攻1抢断。

However, the best player of the game was awarded to his teammate DeMarcus Cousins.

今晚考辛斯出战31分钟，14投7中，三分球4中1，罚球12中10，拿到了全场最高的25分和19个篮板，外加3次助攻1次盖帽。

Facing the blue-collar center Jr. Jordan who is known for his defense in the league, Cousins ​​played like a god tonight. Not only did he beat his opponent in the top 10 in frontal singles, but he also caused Jr. Jordan's last foul in the 4th minute of the final quarter, and he directly fouled and left the field.

Thanks to his dominant performance in the interior, the Cavaliers were able to defeat the Clippers without any risk when Irving performed poorly and only scored 10 points.

Clippers.

The Big Three collectively showed their hips today.

保罗在詹姆斯的主防之下，14投4在，其中三分球4中1，拿到10分九9助攻；格里芬17投7中，拿到16分8板4助攻；小乔丹4投3中，拿到8分11篮板。

It seems that Jordan's offensive efficiency on the court is the highest among the three, but don't forget that Jordan is essentially a blue-collar player, and his biggest responsibility on the court is defense, not offense.

When he was picked up one-on-one by Cousins, his role on the court may not be as good as Jamal Crawford.

Although Ke Lao Liu was a bit tough tonight, he made 14 of 6 shots and only 6 of 1 three-pointers, but his scoring was in double figures after all, scoring 13 points, the second highest scoring player in the Clippers after Griffin.

Once Jordan can't defend, it's really useless. After all, no one expects him to help the team with offense.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Clippers by double digits in the away game 105:94, winning a wave of three consecutive victories after losing to the Trail Blazers.

To say that the happiest one is undoubtedly James who paddled the whole game today.

That's right, even if he got the data of 23+13, for James, who is still at his peak, it's just sprinkled water.

He is happy because, first of all, the team won the ball. In fact, Cousins ​​saw a shadow of Wang Zelin.

Especially when Cousins ​​succeeded in attacking the basket, his eyes glowed. If it was in the animation, he would be reluctant to add two red hearts.

Speaking of which, Cousins ​​should be the first offensive heavy tank center that James has worked with in his career.

The former big Z and O'Neal, one has a soft style of play, and the other is too old, not to mention during the Heat, James himself had to gain weight and go to the fourth position to defend the inside.

It was the first time that James felt the benefits of having a strong center in his penalty area!
Of course, he still does not forget that one day, he will seek the opportunity to cooperate with the Blazers No. 36.

……

Back to the Blazers.

After watching yesterday's game.

On February 2th, the Trail Blazers ushered in their third game at home since February, and they have a lot of grievances with Houston Mosaic!

In the past January, James Harden was definitely one of the best players in the league in a single month, but it was a pity that he lost to Wang Zelin in the end.

Recalling the successive losses to the Trail Blazers in the past few seasons, old grievances added new hatred, Harden vowed before the game that he must win the Trail Blazers tonight.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten a law, that is-the Blazers will explode on the 36th when the Mosaic team explodes!
……

119: 106!

When the final whistle sounded, Harden looked at the scores of the two teams displayed on the big screen and fell into deep helplessness.

Harden's performance tonight was very impressive. He played 40 minutes and made 25 of 11 shots. Among them, he made 10 of 4 three-pointers and 13 of 9 free throws. He was extremely efficient and scored 35 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

It can be said that in order to win the Blazers once again, Harden gave everything again.

However, due to Howard's absence due to injury, the Mosaic team really does not have enough high-level support inside. Facing the Trail Blazers, which has a luxurious inside combination of Wang Zelin + Aldridge, they have completely become the opponent's back garden.

In the Trail Blazers Twin Towers, Aldridge played 36 minutes, made 17 of 8 shots, scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and sent a season-high 2 blocks.

王泽林出战37分钟，22投15中，罚球7中7，砍下了全场最高的37分18个篮板5次盖帽，绝对的攻防一体！
The outside trio, Lillard 15 points, Batum 13 points, Matthews 12 points, the starting lineup all scored in double figures in this game.

Before leaving, Harden, full of helplessness, looked back at the Rose Garden Arena, and resolutely turned and left this sad place.

However, at this moment, his dissatisfaction with Howard also reached its peak.

He couldn't figure out how Howard, who was obviously not a few years older than himself, and who was in his prime, could decline so quickly.

Since joining the Mosaic team, the former No. [-] center in the league has deteriorated year after year, and the speed of his decline in strength has shocked countless people's jaws.

And as Harden becomes stronger year by year, he naturally yearns for a higher status in the league and competes for the supreme championship honor!
Howard, he's had enough!

……

……

After defeating the Mosaic team led by Harden and winning 9 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers team went to Dallas on February 2, and started a back-to-back game with the Mavericks...

As a result, tonight, the German chariot Nuo Tianwang explained what ginger is still hot. After playing 35 minutes, he made 25 of 13 shots, including 8 of 4 three-pointers. He scored a game-high 30 points and led the Mavericks to complete a comeback in the final quarter.

For the Trail Blazers, affected by back-to-back effects, all members played averagely, and the best performer Wang Zelin only scored 24 points.

At 106:111, the Mavericks finally lost in an away game, ending the winning streak helplessly.

After a few days of rest, on February 2th, the Trail Blazers went to Los Angeles again for an away game.

This time, the Trail Blazers, who were fully rested and recharged, played the best in the league in the game against the Lakers.

At 112:86, the Lakers beat the Lakers by a full 26 points!
After this battle, the league officially ushered in the annual All-Star Weekend!
