NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

During the break, Terry Stotts took out the tactical board, and he didn't want to waste a second of his time.

Much like the previous game, the Blazers got off to a strong start, then fell into the Spurs' offensive rhythm, and then got out of control.

Obviously, the performance of the Blazers is not bad. It has scored 71 points so far, and the efficiency has reached the average level since the playoffs, but the performance of the Spurs is better.

The characteristic of the Spurs is that the score is even, and no one's score is more abrupt, and this is precisely the most terrible place, because it means that the team's pre-game defensive strategy has once again become useless.

Terry Stotts knows that this game must be won, and if he loses again, it will be 0:3 behind, and the confidence of the players and the morale of the team will drop to the lowest point since the start of the playoffs.

By then, it will be even harder to win!

"In the fourth quarter, we must first maintain our defensive strength. It is the only truth in the NBA playoffs to win the championship with defense. At this time, the memory of the opponent is flooded, and we must have thought that we would give up, but we just didn't, insisted. Live, if you don't have confidence in yourselves, then this game is really over!"

"As for the attack..."

At this point, Terry Stotts has not made many tactical adjustments. The most important thing is to stabilize the players' emotions and fighting spirit.

After listening, Lillard and Wang Zelin looked at each other.

"My brother, are you tired?" Lillard asked.

"What nonsense, my firmness is beyond your imagination!" Wang Zelin replied with a smile.

"Me too." Lillard suddenly smiled and pointed to the Spurs bench: "But those old guys are different."

"This game should be the one with the highest defensive intensity we put into it. They can still play such a terrible offense, and the consumption must be not small. Just like Coach Terry said, maintain the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, and we will definitely have a comeback. Chance."

After speaking, Lillard clenched his right fist and stretched it out.

"Of course, it won't be us who collapse first, I have always believed in this!"

Wang Zelin also stretched out his fist, touched it, and then looked at the direction of the Spurs, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

How could my first Western Conference finals end like this?

...

The whistle blew quickly in the final quarter, and the short inter-season break ended.

Wang Zelin patted Aldridge on the shoulder and stepped back into the court.

The Blazers players returned to the game, and the cheers on the scene were obviously not high. Many fans may have given up in their hearts.

They should just be thinking: The Blazers are just a young team. It's amazing to be able to reach the Western Conference Finals. The team is already great. There's no need to ask young people so harshly.

What fans don't know is that although most of the Blazers players are young, they can always push themselves with the most demanding requirements!

Crazy for the war, to die!

Until the last moment, the word "give up" never appeared in their dictionary.

"The game continues, the youngest Parker in the Spurs gdp continues to play, Tim and Manu are resting off the court. Audience friends, Tim has scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists today. It's crazy! But we have to admit it. , he is already 37, fortunately, the 14-point difference can temporarily relieve him."

"Let's look at the other side, it seems that Wang and Damien are still fighting high, maybe this is the vigor of young people. But one thing to say, sometimes fighting is not enough, the first ball is the Blazers, let us Let's see if the Blazers can close the gap this time."

On the court, Lillard came in with steady control of the ball. Although he fell behind, his brain was unusually calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, showing his general demeanor.

Seeing this scene, many scouts and media people on the sidelines couldn't help but nodded.

In a simple transition, Lillard gave the ball to Aldridge on the left. Aldridge's defender became Matt Bonner, and his defensive ability was far less than that of the big brother Tim Duncan, but Aldridge's defender became Matt Bonner. The accuracy of the shot was poor, and the basketball hit iron unexpectedly. In the end, Leonard received the defensive rebound.

"Shet!"

As soon as the ball was shot, Aldridge secretly thought that something was wrong. He hated himself even more for failing to live up to his teammates' expectations. At this stage, every attack of the team is particularly important. He actually...

"Oops! LaMarcus's goal was short. With Duncan resting, the Trail Blazers lost another great opportunity to score points."

"Tim, it seems that your worries are unnecessary. The most stable No. 4 position of the Blazers has fluctuated."

On the bench, Ginobili lightly stabbed Duncan with his arm and smiled.

The game is not over yet, and Duncan off the court is still the same indifferent face: "I hope so."

But he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Why is this happening?

Suddenly, Duncan glanced at the back of the Trail Blazers' No. 36 defense: Next, what will you do?

Parker catches the ball in the backcourt.

The opponent is not in a hurry, and he is even less in a hurry.

Focusing on the success rate is the strategy set by Simavic for the final quarter during the inter-season break.

Seeing Parker advancing, Lillard took the initiative to take a step back, choosing to guard against penetration instead of throwing.

Today Parker is the highest scoring player on the Spurs side, scoring 22 points on 9 of 17 shots. When he hits 3-pointers, he is only 1 for 3...

Sure enough, Lillard just took a step back, and Parker broke through without hesitation after approaching the three-point line!

After so many hands, Lillard began to get used to Parker's rhythm, made defensive predictions in place, moved his footsteps in time, and used excellent footwork to compress Parker's breakthrough space, but Leonard came up to block Lillard!

After the pick-and-roll, Batum stayed on the right side of the three-second zone. Leonard cut in from the middle, and Lillard hurried to catch up. At this time, Split pulled out from the middle. When Leonard blocked Lillard, Parker made a move. Seeing this, hoist the ball to the middle...

Under the basket, Wang Zelin saw Leonard rushing in, and was about to step forward to block. When he saw Parker's lob, he spat out a scolding "I love you".

Playing with flowers, right?

Air relay, right?

I won't let you take it!

"Get out of the way!"

Terry Stotts on the sidelines stood up excitedly and roared.

No matter how careful Wang Zelin is, there are still four criminals at his side. As the absolute main force, he should protect himself.

"What? Wang didn't choose to dodge, he wanted to block!"

"However, Wang's ball is not easy to defend! Kawhi Leonard's cutting space is too good, no accident, this will be a violent dunk! Oh, Kawhi Leonard took off, one-armed dunk, straight Straight to the Blazers' rim!"

"Oh! My God! The king took off, and he actually took off on the spot! His reaction is so fast, and the speed of the bullet is so fast, like a soaring rocket, straight up! Can he interfere?"

The shouts of the home commentator came one after another, and Leonard on the offensive side was a little surprised, but more of he felt the anger of being despised.

Do you look down on me like that?

Actually want to take off and seal the cover!

No matter how the outside world thinks that Leonard is an excellent Spurs successor, after all, it can be seen from his ice cube face.

But don't forget, the current Leonard is still a young guy in his early 20s, all young people, who still has a fire in his heart!

Not to mention that the target Leonard is about to detain is recognized as the strongest of the younger generation.

Heavenly boy, become my background board!

At this moment, Leonard clearly felt that a fire in his heart was erupting.

Just as the basketball came close to the hoop, a yellow palm appeared between the two...

"Snapped!"

A loud bang echoed across the field.

"Cap!!! Cap!!!

Wang did it, he sacrificed his third personal block of the game! This behemoth in the basket seems to be telling the Spurs that the game is not over yet~~~ It's incredible! This ball is so invigorating! "

Was ~ covered?

Even Lunrad, who is known for his strong heart, was stunned at this time, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Leonard, who has been around for 13 years, has not experienced subsequent injuries such as footsteps, and his athletic ability is still at the peak of his career.

As a No. 15 pick in the first round, the main player is still a small forward. Although the dunk ability is not as good as James' historical level, but looking at the current league, it is also a level.

Such a great spot! Such a wonderful time to cut in...he was actually capped?

"rush!"

Suddenly, a roar came from his ear, which made Leonard instantly return to his senses. Just as he buried his head and ran to the front court, a "bang" sounded and exploded on the Spurs' basket.

When I looked up, I realized that at some point, a yellow figure was hanging from the basket, and the number on the back of the jersey was clearly written...

He is the No. 36 of the Blazers~Wang Zelin!

At 73:85, the Blazers recovered 2 points.

"The Blazers counterattacked successfully! Look at the fans at the scene, they are cheering for their king!"

Clifford Robinson thought to himself: The opportunity is here!

Duncan's mood fluctuated slightly off the field. He was about to get up when he thought of something and turned his head to look in the direction of Simavic.

I saw Sima Weiqi pondering slightly, shaking his head gently at his proudest disciple: "Tim, trust Tony, next time your teammate."

"Um."

Simavic is worthy of being another needle for the Spurs, and with just one word, he can convince the players.

As for the other needle, it is naturally Tim Duncan.

Parker moved on.

"Keep up!"

Wang Zelin roared under the basket, which lifted the spirits of his teammates.

The big cap just now made the Blazers' fighting spirit soar, as if someone who was about to drown saw a driftwood floating in the distance, the desire to survive overwhelmed the fear of death.

Parker made a tactical gesture of pulling away again.

Are you going to break through again?

Seeing this, Wang Zelin lifted up, took a step below the free-throw line, and emptied Split.

When Parker, who was about to break through, saw it, he immediately thought about it in his heart. Continue to break through, or pass it on?

It's the pick-and-roll play, and Matt Bonner has come over to do the pick-and-roll, and he has to decide now.

The pick-and-roll happened, and Parker bypassed the wall and rushed inside.

Wang Zelin stepped forward with his left foot and stepped on the free-throw line. Parker was not afraid at all, and went up to meet him. A spinning top turned and passed Wang Zelin.

"pretty!"

This gorgeous action made the home field commentators couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

After turning around, Parker saw Split who was empty in the basket and immediately chose to pass the ball.

There are too many vacancies, and the opportunity is so good that no one can bear it.

Parker's jersey shot, Wang Zelin turned around instantly, Steel Tower's left foot on the free throw line slammed, and then took a step towards the basket.

With his right foot a step further, Wang Zelin took advantage of the situation to soar into the sky.

No one could have imagined that it was already the fourth quarter, and Wang Zelin could still make such a quick and swift response.

Isn't he tired?

In fact, this vacancy was a pit he deliberately left for Parker, and he had already prepared to just return to defense.

Parker's assists have come to 10, and the point difference is still 12 points. He does not rule out the idea of ​​​​making his personal data more luxurious.

After all, there are still 12 points between the two teams, and Parker can afford it.

On the right side of the basket, Split jumped up excitedly, caught the ball with both hands, and was ready to smash the basket.

Split's personal score is exactly 9 points now. As long as this goal can be scored, the score can be in double figures. As a role player, scoring in double figures in the playoffs is indeed a big honor in his personal career resume. Anxi: My brother, after the game, I will pay for your consumption tonight.

But at this moment, a roadblock appeared in the sky.

I only felt a shadow attack, and a big hand appeared extremely abruptly behind Split's head and pressed it on the basketball.

"Give me~ Get out!"

With one palm, Wang Zelin pressed Split with the ball.

"Bang!"

Split fell to the floor ~www.wuxiahere.com~ The ball hit his foot and went out of bounds.

"what!!!!"

The Rose Garden Arena was instantly boiling, and the cheers of the fans suddenly rose from the trough to the sky.

Blocking the Spurs' offense for two consecutive rounds, how could the fans not be moved.

"An appalling blood cap happened. Wang He directly slammed Split with the ball on the floor and hammered it. It was so brutal!"

Clifford Robinson's hysterical roar infected everyone watching the game.

"Shit! You are a bunch of shit, look at what you all did? I'm better than you in the game! Back to defense! What are you talking about, don't hurry back to defense!"

On the sidelines, Simavic roared angrily, the team has been really bad these few rounds.
