NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Chapter 63: First Preseason Win

Next, Nash found the Lakers’ rookie Thackeray this year, giving the latter a chance to show himself.

Thackeray’s advantage in being selected is that his physical fitness is not bad and his tonnage is sufficient. Although he is a rough guy with little skills, he still has the possibility of becoming a blue-collar worker.

It’s a pity that his so-called physical advantage is too fragile in front of Wang Zelin.

Thackeray chose to beat Wang Zelin to no avail. Seeing that there was not much time, he could only choose a lame turnaround jumper.

“Snapped”

The sound of hammering came, and those who didn’t know it thought Thackeray was paying tribute to the team boss Black Mamba who was watching the game.

Just as Wang Zelin turned around and was about to take off his rebound, a dark shadow suddenly appeared… Lillard!

my board.

My board!

Lillard didn’t care so much. After he took off the rebound, he directly started the fast break. Batum and Matthews on both sides quickly responded, forming a 3-on-1 situation in the frontcourt.

Artest must have been unable to guard against the bombardment of the three without his elbows, so he wisely chose to give up.

Lillard assisted Batum in the alley-oop, and the latter completed a gorgeous basket-bombing performance.

The Trail Blazers started with a 6-3 run.

“OMG! When Portland also became a city of alleys, it seems that the fans in the league are blessed.”

The two announcers on the sidelines of Staples were also amazed by the two alley-oops that the Blazers started with.

Such visual effects are not inferior to the Clippers next door that always want to usurp power.

The two commentators looked at each other and nodded.

Blow, blow hard!

If the league can really add another vacant city, it can also share the traffic of the Clippers.

If it wasn’t because of Lillard’s carelessness that caused Nash to run out of the open three-pointer, the Lakers should now have nothing.

However, several of the Lakers’ offenses failed to complete as expected, which was enough to hurt.

Wang Zelin felt that he overestimated the opponent, or underestimated his teammates.

It’s just the preseason. Many of the team’s leading stars don’t even play, and they basically leave opportunities to young people.

However, Portland is a team made up of young people, and the team boss Aldridge was just injured at the end of last season, so it makes sense to use it to find him in the preseason.

Therefore, this broken Lakers naturally seems a little too weak in the face of the Blazers who are in full condition.

After the first quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers played wave after wave of offensive frenzy, leading the Lakers by 14 points with 31:17!

Although Nash has a strong defensive willingness, he has to admit that he is a defensive colander on the court.

As for Big Gasol’s defense is very good, Adeze is the type of offense, the two formed a mutual explosion.

The Blazers are all dominant in the remaining three positions, and it is difficult for the Lakers not to fall behind.

Wang Zelin scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, one of which was robbed by someone.

Lillard was organizing his teammates in the first quarter. He didn’t have many shots. He only made a 3-pointer, but he had 5 assists.

Aldridge only had a team-high 10 points.

The three-man play helped the Blazers take such a big lead.

At the end of the break, Coach Terry, who advocated “mutual trust and positive reinforcement” to win the game, gave encouragement and praise to Wang Zelin, Ade and Lillard after seeing such outstanding performances.

Sometimes it’s better to have a passionate coach than a cold coach, at least as far as young players are concerned.

As for young people, it is always easy to be enthusiastic and easy to fail. At this time, they need an elder to teach and encourage them.

And Coach Terry is such an excellent elder, which can be known from the comments of the players and coaches later.

“LaMarcus, Damien, and King, all three of you are doing great, rest now, and you’ll be playing again in a while.”

Although the preseason is more confrontational than the summer league, the team mainly focuses on lineup running-in and tactical training.

Therefore, despite Wang Zelin’s excellent performance, Coach Terry made a large-scale personnel adjustment.

After the three-minute break, the Trail Blazers and the Lakers both replaced their rotations by coincidence.

On the Blazers side, JJ Hickson, Sashalovic, Nolan Smith, Will Barton, and Jared Rivers were replaced. The core of the rotation is naturally the most capable Hickson.

Although Hickson gave himself a bad face when he arrived, Wang Zelin still recognized the opponent’s strength very much.

The average of 12+10 per game is enough for any team to hang around. Yi Jianlian during the Nets period is basically this level of strength.

The players who were replaced looked happy, because it meant that they were very likely to enter the 15-man roster in the regular season.

The players who were not called by their names looked lonely. They seemed to have met the fate of being abandoned.

But there is no way, this is the adult society, this is the reality: the capable go up, the weak go down.

The advantage of preseason games compared to summer leagues is that the requirements for tactics are much higher than the latter.

If the summer league is the world of chaos masters, then it’s time to start talking about the rules.

If you don’t want to run tactics, that’s alright, just roll up the bed and get out.

With a big point difference, the Blazers’ rotation players played very confidently. Although the Lakers occasionally attacked, they still maintained the score at around 10 points.

At 9 minutes and 45 seconds in the second quarter, seeing that the point difference could not be caught within 10 points, Lakers coach Mike Brown called a timeout, ready to let the main players go up.

49:37!

After coming back from the timeout, both sides were replaced with all starting lineups, but the Lakers were beaten even worse.

By the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was as much as 21 points, and the fourth quarter was destined to become garbage time.

The main players on both sides are also famous figures in the league, so naturally they don’t want to play in garbage time.

Therefore, both Mike Brown and Coach Terry replaced the main force, allowing rookies and the fringes of the team to peck each other on the court.

The Blazers stayed on the court with the team’s three rookies this year: Wang Zelin, Lillard, and the second-round pick, the swingman Will Barton.

This time, Coke broke Wang Zelin, and Trash Time made a decisive attack.

In the final quarter, he scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. com let everyone present see his “activeness” for the game.

The whole person looked like he was about to collapse, but he was still reluctant to leave the arena.

With the last 5 minutes left in the game, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers with a score of 97-62, but Wang Zelin was still wreaking havoc on the Lakers’ basket, and there was a tendency to never leave the game before 30 points.

Seeing Tom Bruce’s eyelids jumping on the sidelines.

No, that little **** has been playing for 36 minutes, so he should be replaced, or he will be beaten.

This is the home of Staples and the Lakers. The hosts still have to give their face. After all, it’s just a preseason game, so there’s no need to make such a big deal.

When he was substituted, Wang Zelin scored 10 hits in 17 shots, plus 25 points on 5 of 6 free throws, plus a game-high 15 rebounds, almost completing a 30+10 double-double.

He was reluctant when he was substituted, but when he saw Coach Terry’s black face, he resolutely chose to follow his heart.

Lillard had a double-double with 18 points and 13 assists.

“Damien, it’s a shame you only played for two minutes in the fourth quarter. If you played a few more minutes, your stats would be as luxurious as mine.”

“roll!”

Lillard pushed away Wang Zelin’s hand on his shoulder, his eyes were full of disgust, and he looked like he was not going to eat anything.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

Wang Zelin shook his head and walked away.

The current director Li is still too young, too concerned about his skin, and has not been beaten by society.

When the king of sewers opens the manhole cover in the future, you will know that I am still playing too low-end in data.
