NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 653 Refuse to be bells and whistles
"For the championship!"

Before playing, the Blazers' enthusiasm for winning quickly infected the entire Rose Garden Arena.

Soon, the starters from both sides played.

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.

Clippers: Prince Rivers Jr., JJ Redick, Matt Barnes, Griffin, Jordan Jr.

As soon as the players from both sides met, one person's eyes were full of despair and fear, and this person was Jordan Jr.

Ever since he met Wang Zelin for the first time in 12 years, he has been beaten by the opponent, from the regular season to the playoffs.

Little Jordan was almost depressed facing Wang Zelin. In this respect, he was not as good as Howard. The latter has always been more and more defeated and defeated.

What's more terrible is that the Clippers' captain Paul has not recovered to a satisfactory level due to his left hamstring injury in the last round of the tiebreaker. The Clippers have officially released news about the first two games of the Paul series.

However, Paul is still wearing a suit today, limping to the scene, doing his best to cheer up his teammates.

However, if cheering alone can work, I don't know how many teams have already won the championship.

Before playing, Wang Zelin took a look at the strength of the Clippers' lineup.

The player with the highest rating is Griffin at 89, who is only one step away from the realm of the league's superstars.

But because of the damn injury, he didn't take that step until the end of his entire career!
After finishing the regular season this season, Griffin averaged 21.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, which is the best performance of the Clippers.In fact, since last season, his scoring has surpassed Paul to become the Clippers' scoring leader, and his overall performance is also the first in the team!

It is not difficult to understand why Griffin has surpassed Paul in the MVP voting in the last two seasons.

If it develops normally, Griffin will become the next captain of the Clippers, and even the most powerful forward in active service is not out of the question.

Unfortunately, there is no if!
Because the Clippers coach Rivers paid too much attention to Jordan, Griffin had to give up the offline space to convey to the small forward. Although he had developed very good skills, Wang Zelin still felt sorry for him.

Obviously he can use his strong body to play, but today he made a mistake to learn how to change directions from the outside line, which caused his knee to be injured again and again.

In fact, it can be seen by comparing Rose and Westbrook, who have very similar playing styles.The two belong to the violent frame-attacking point guards. As a result, Westbrook, who seems to have no brains and only knows how to play straight up and down, rarely suffers injuries in non-manual situations;

On the one hand, it can be attributed to the different resistance attributes of the two people, but on the other hand, the choice of the two people's play styles in details is also extremely important.

Skip Griffin, and the rest of the Clippers are much more ordinary.82 Jordan, 77 Redick, 75 Barnes and…

Forget it, there is no need to talk about the Clippers prince, who will let him have a good father!

As the referee blew the whistle in his mouth and threw the basketball high, the game officially began.

"Wang won the ball. Why does it feel like DeAndre was frightened and stupid, and he didn't even jump."

"Probably because there is no captain at the helm, he is worried that no one will feed him tonight."

On the Clippers side, no one expected that Jordan would fall ill at the beginning.

"Quick back and defend!"

Paul was so anxious that he almost jumped.

But it was too late, the Blazers' offense was approaching like a tide, and the offense was watched, and it was handed over to Wang Zelin for control as usual.

After receiving the ball nearby, Wang Zelin singled Griffin!

Although there is a little distance from the basket, the offensive Clippers did not rush to double-team, because the Mavericks in the last round had already given a wrong demonstration to the rest of the playoff teams.

"Wang, even if Chris can't play, the Clippers still have me! You all want to win!"

Griffin, who was under great pressure today, lost his good temper as before, and took the initiative to spout trash talk at Wang Zelin as soon as he came up.

After Wang Zelin gave him a fierce look, he dropped the ball, dribbled, and hit his back. After a set of combos, Griffin's footsteps began to loosen and he retreated steadily.

"Oh!"

Close to the basket, all the wild power exploded, and Griffin behind him hit it off.

"boom!"

A hard slash!
2: 0!

"In the opening stage, Wang still had no solution. It seems that the Clippers have not found a way to limit Wang!"

"Limit king? Hey man, is this the biggest joke I've heard this year?"

Reggie Miller and Chris Webber, who were in charge of explaining the game, were immediately excited by Wang Zelin.

Clippers offense.

Griffin's face-to-face singles, Aldridge in the low post, after he dribbled the ball behind his back, he quickly turned around and slipped to the baseline, went to the basket and returned a violent dunk.

Short hands are short hands, Griffin's bounce is really top!
"I said, you don't want to win tonight!"

After scoring the goal, Griffin did not forget to continue spraying at Wang Zelin.

However, he saw a trace of regret in the latter's eyes.

What kind of strange look is this?
Are you looking down on me?
Griffin was stunned for a moment, and then the raging anger quickly filled his entire chest, and he decided to blow up the Blazers' inside line next.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Seeing Lillard pushing forward, Rivers Jr. stayed outside the three-point line. Lillard is 40.2% this season, and he can't even make the top ten, but if you consider the three-point production, he is second only to the Splash Brothers.

Thinking of the team report in memory, Little Rivers, who has always been active in defense, calmed down and didn't try to steal the ball.

Seeing the unnamed guard in front of him looking serious about defending, Lillard suddenly became interested and beckoned for a pick-and-roll.

The familiar Wang Li pick and roll!
Intimidated by Wang Zelin's follow-up air cut, the Clippers players hesitated for the first time on the defensive target. In the end, Lillard went straight into the opponent's heart, smashing and dunking with one hand.

4: 2!

Clippers offense.

Little Rivers' old problem of being too sticky to the ball happened again. Redick finally ran out of space underneath, but he was unable to receive the ball for a long time, resulting in the loss of open opportunities.

However, due to the coercion of the head coach, Redick didn't dare to say anything, and continued to run without the ball.

Seeing the time passing by second by second, Rivers Jr. neither shot nor passed, and was determined to pass Lillard.

10 seconds into the countdown, Griffin couldn't stand it anymore, came to the high position on the left, and roared:

"Play the ball for me!"

Little Rivers, who was yelled at, was annoyed, but when he saw that Griffin was with him, he quickly handed over the ball without even thinking about it.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the ball, Griffin singled Aldridge in a high position, still with all kinds of fancy moves.

With 4 seconds left, he used a turn and finally passed the defender.

"Snapped!"

Apparently Griffin was overjoyed too early. Wang Zelin, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up high and greeted him with a hot pot.

The ball flew all the way out of the sideline, causing a burst of exclamation from the scene.

"I don't understand, why do you like to be so fancy, it's really a waste of your talent!"

Looking at Griffin who stayed where he was, Wang Zelin complained lightly.

　I vomited in the car, so I’m going to take a break at 4K today, and I’ll be back to Kaili tomorrow morning, and I’m getting better.
