NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

I don't know if it was intentional or not. D'Antoni seemed to selectively ignore the opponent's No. 36, who was only 22 years old, 3 years younger than Harden, but the gap was so big.

On the field, Harden saw that the head coach did not have instructions, and knew that the team had no plans to suspend. He immediately understood that he could only rely on himself next.

Mosaic attacked, and Harden directly advanced with the ball in the backcourt.

At this time, the veteran Brewer, who was almost exhausted, suddenly rushed to the basket, carrying Yi Jianlian behind him for the ball.

Harden jumped up suddenly and smashed the ball in with both hands from above Batum's head.

In the short corner on the left, Wang Zelin didn't catch the ball no matter how fast he reacted. When he turned around, he saw Brewer received the ball, and then turned around to bypass Yi Jianlian and sent the ball to the board to hit a ball.

At 94:91, the Blazers trailed by 3 points.

At the critical moment, the veteran showed his power and caught all the Blazers by surprise.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Lillard took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll with Wang Zelin. Lillard passed Harden with the help of a screen, then pulled up directly and made a three-pointer.

It's a pity that the shot was a bit rushed, hit the neck of the basket and bounced high.

Under the basket, Capela occupied a favorable position ahead of time, looked at the basketball close at hand, his face was happy, and his feet were about to take off...

"boom!"

Behind Capela, Wang Zelin flew up, intercepted the basketball in the air ahead of time, and then slammed into the basket with all his strength.

After a violent vibration, the mosaic basket was smashed.

This scene made the white uncle in the audience after the rebound jump up excitedly and celebrate wildly.

Around him, there are also excited Blazers fans who can't help themselves.

At 93:94, the score difference returned to one point.

"It's time for you to change tactics, James. Do you really think you can stop me by yourself? It's ridiculous!"

Wang Zelin ignored Capela, who was being detained under him, winked at Harden, and made a provocative speech.

The unwilling Mosaic players aggressively launched a fast break, but this time, Harden learned to be honest and did not choose to shoot from the outside.

The movement of the likes of Ariza and Capela creates some space for Harden.

Wang Zelin, who needs to pay attention to helping defend the basket at all times, was a little hesitant by Ariza and Capela's cuts, so when Harden got a chance, Wang Zelin actually didn't have much chance to remedy it.

Then, people in a desperate situation can always stimulate the huge potential hidden in their bodies.God knows how fast Wang Zelin just made up the defense. In the "safe distance" that Harden thought of, Wang Zelin rushed to him in a daze, and it was a big cap!
"Oh! Wang's iconic volleyball cap! This is the fifth cap he has given out in this game! He can do anything on the court!"

"Hey hey, run up guys in Portland, it's our time to fight back!"

Under the urging of the home announcer, Barton directly took the action of flying in order to fight for the rebound. Before everyone else, Wang Zelin fanned him to the basketball near the middle circle in advance.

"Return to defense! Hurry back to defense!"

D'Antoni jumped in a hurry and yelled excitedly on the sidelines.

On the other side, Coach Terry also stood up abruptly from the coach's bench, watching the next ball with excitement and anticipation.

At this time, Lillard came to Barton, took the ball, and pushed forward.

Except for Barton, who was struggling to get up, the other 9 players of the two teams started almost at the same time, but Lillard was still faster, and his position was higher, leaving behind Mosaic guard Marcus Thornton.

A step that seemed close at hand, but it was enough for Lillard to get rid of his opponent.

With a long shot all the way, Lillard seemed to be in no one's land, easily reached the basket of the Mosaic team, and completed a one-handed gliding dunk.

The blow of this ball also announced that the Trail Blazers finally achieved the lead in the score.

95:94, both sides are easy to attack and defend!

Seeing that the team's lead was reversed, D'Antoni immediately requested a timeout.

After entering the final quarter, the rhythm of the game was completely controlled by the opponent, and he had to interrupt this momentum, otherwise, everything would be in vain.

The Rose Garden was boiling, and the Mosaic team was forced to stop the game within a few minutes of the final quarter.

The balance of victory has officially tipped to the Blazers!
What about Harden?
As the leader of the Mosaic team, his eyes are full of confusion at this moment.He couldn't figure it out, he was ahead by more than 20 points before, how could he be beaten by his opponent suddenly?
Harden said he couldn't understand.

Looking at the Pioneer No. 36, whose eyes were still full of murderous intent, the bearded man had an inexplicable fear in his heart.

Is that guy really his own nightmare?

Am I really unable to beat him once?

Lord, can you answer me?

It is estimated that no one thought that when the game came to an anxious moment, when the Mosaic team changed from leading to lagging behind, James Harden, the leader of the Mosaic team, no longer had much fighting spirit.

At this moment, his mind is full of confusion.

……

After returning from the suspension, Coach Terry put Aldridge back in the lineup, and the Blazers reappeared with all the main force, playing a 9-0 against the Mosaic team.

The difference was suddenly widened to 10 points, but Harden, the leader of the Mosaic fans, chose to pass again and again when the team needed it most.

Harden seems to be under the spell. As the top five super scorer in the regular season scoring list this season, he seems to have lost his scoring instinct in the decisive moment.

In the second half of the final quarter, Harden played like a traditional point guard who was primarily responsible for organizing the team.

However, this is not the Harden fans want to see.

What the hell are you doing, dude?

We really need you to score points!
Countless Mosaic fans and Harden's fans roared wildly in front of the TV, but unfortunately, this did not change Harden's 2-for-1 start and two points.

Although he sent 4 assists later, and the mistakes were well controlled, there was only one, but he could not restore the decline...

打到第45分钟，王泽林也拿到了本场第30分，外加18篮板6盖帽4助攻1抢断，强势的将领先优势扩大到18分……

At 116:101, the Trail Blazers reversed the trend in the last quarter, and completed a turnaround from a 20-point deficit in the early game.

In the last quarter, the Blazers scored 33 points together, and Wang Zelin alone scored 13 points, plus 2 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal.

On the Mosaic side, the team only scored 11 points in the last quarter.

Among them, the performance of the team's leading star James Harden was particularly disappointing.Although he sent out 4 assists and grabbed 2 rebounds in the final quarter, he only had 2 points in the scoring that the team needed most.

It's ridiculous that a super scorer who averaged nearly 30 points per game in a season only hit 2 points in the final quarter.

It can be said that the Mosaic team was overturned at the last moment, and it was inseparable from Harden, who lost himself in the last quarter. He lost the game tonight, and he needs to bear the biggest pot.
