NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 854

The first two game days of the preseason have passed, and there are 8 series and 16 teams. Even the cloud fans who do not pay much attention to the game because the regular season schedule is too dense, have a certain impact on how each team performs in the playoffs this season through a series of channels such as game highlights, online interaction, and expert analysis.

Some guys who used to pretend to be dead in the regular season opened the coffin lid as always in the playoffs, bursting out with amazing energy;

Some young people who performed well in the regular season did not realize how high the sky is and how vast the land is until they arrived on the big stage of the playoffs. At the same time, they also had a preliminary understanding of the classic phrase "The future belongs to you!";
Similarly, there are also some teams and players who have performed horrible performances in the past few seasons, and this season has shown their dominance as always.

This group of people is calling out to everyone in the league: This era is destined to belong to me!
At the same time, after experiencing the contest in the first game, each team has a certain understanding of their first-round opponents.

Except for the Trail Blazers, Warriors, and Cavaliers who have absolute confidence in their own strength and can ensure that the team advances to the second round, all other teams attach great importance to the next game and have never underestimated their opponents.

After all, for the vast majority of teams, the first game of the training game is more of a preliminary test, wanting to see how deep the opponent's water is, so as to facilitate the next response.

Some teams are even prepared from the beginning, and may have to play until the sixth game, that is, the fifth game to prepare for the Tianwang Mountain.

What's more, they even made plans for seven fierce battles and a tiebreaker in the series.

Therefore, when the first match was over, while the players took the time to rest, the coaching staff of most teams ushered in sleepless nights, racking their brains for the upcoming games.

Not to mention other teams, even the Trail Blazers, not everyone is as confident as Wang Zelin.As far as the coaching staff is concerned, Coach Terry and his assistant coaches have also started a new round of overtime.

……

On April 4, Wang Zelin got up early in the morning, and called Jokic and Yi Jianlian together. After finishing the morning run and having breakfast, he came to the arena early to start a new day of training.

In the morning, I sweated on the floor, took a break at noon, and came to the arena with my teammates in the afternoon to prepare for the evening game.

Coach Terry really didn't expect to win so many points in the first game.

I am naturally happy to have won so much, but now Coach Terry has another headache:

There are so many young people, so many young people, will it be easy to win the first game and cause you to relax later?

Proud soldiers are bound to be defeated, this is not just talk.

The NBA's slogan for one year is called - the place where miracles are born!
Not only in the regular season, but in the more intense and exciting atmosphere of the playoffs, anything can happen.

For example, last night, the Celtics relied on the team's tenacious will and the three-point lore of the head star Thomas Jr., becoming the first team in the first round of the playoffs this season to achieve an away victory.

After thinking about it, he quickly summoned the players to come to him to cool down the players.

Don't lose the game carelessly tonight because of too much waves!
……

At 19:[-] in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in their second home game against the Mosaics at the Rose Garden Arena.

Due to the disparity in the last game, Wang Zelin won the real double in three quarters without even breaking a sweat, and he played so easily and comfortably. Even under the deterrence of Wang Zelin's defense, the Houstonians frequently showed income...

So, not to mention the players of the Houston Mosaic team, after the first game, many experts, retired celebrities, and active stars agreed:
The most the Houston Mosaics can win is one, or even one.

This night, Wang Zelin was also merciless.

In the second game at home, Wang Zelin and his teammates were determined to smash the opponent's idea of ​​stealing a victory at the Rose Garden Arena again.

As soon as the game started, Wang Zelin showed more terrifying suppression than the previous game.

3 minutes before the first quarter, during the full 3 minutes, the Mosaic team did not score a single point!
Their attack was either directly sent by Wang Zelin with a hot pot gift package, or they were destroyed by Wang Zelin's strong interference.

At the same time, the finish is just as ferocious on the offensive end.

After a wave of continuous frame explosions at the beginning, the opponent had no choice but to double-team Wang Zelin.In this case, Wang Zelin still gave and asked on the court, and sent several wonderful passes in a row.

The players of the Houston Mosaic team were completely overwhelmed and could only be forced to get involved in Wang Zelin's game rhythm, making invalid return runs again and again.

What makes the players of the Mosaic team even more desperate is that the Trail Blazers' substitute rotation players are even more in shape than in the previous game.Originally they were counting on the second team to chase points, but after entering the second quarter, they could only watch the point difference continue to widen.

The main players have been unable to enter the best state for a long time, and the opponent's offensive momentum has been wave after wave. In desperation, D'Antoni can only find Mingjin to withdraw.

The Portland Trail Blazers made another victory at 125:88 at home, and easily completed the second consecutive victory over the Mosaic team.

The score difference in a single game was as high as 37 points, and it was another hearty crushing victory!

Counting the 52-point victory in the opening game, the Trail Blazers once again created a new historical record.

That is, the largest record of average points difference in the first two games of the first round of the playoffs in NBA history-44.5 points in the first two games of the first round!
As the biggest contributor to the creator of this new record, Wang Zelin played less time in this game than in the previous game. He was replaced with 2 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, and spent the rest of the time chatting and laughing with domestic female stars such as Liu Yifei, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhilin sisters, and discussing romance.

This made a lot of domestic fans in front of the TV envious, wishing they could replace it.

But even so, Wang Zelin still scored a game-high 33 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, plus 4 assists and 2 steals. After the game, he was once again named the best player in the game.

The Mosaic team on the opposite side did not have a slightly better player in translocation tonight.The only thing to be thankful for now is that they can finally return to their home court.

Next, the game between the two sides will be moved to the home of the Mosaic team - the Toyota Center Arena, where they will start a two-round contest.

Those were the last two chances the Mosaics could possibly win under James Harden.

Of course, if they return to their home court for two more games, they can experience the despair of being swept away again.
