Chapter 98
Chapter 92: Can Lamarcus Still Do That?
“The beginning of the NBA draws the twilight O’Neal (
The Clippers’ home game against the Blazers attracted a lot of attention from the media and fans. Even many players were sitting on the bench, preparing popcorn, and waiting for the game to start.
Not only because the current Blazers are unstoppable, but more importantly, this game is related to the bet between O’Neal and Barkley.
According to the bet, if the Blazers win the game, then Barkley will fulfill the all-meter live bet of singing and teaching pole dancing on TNT.
If the Clippers win this game, then Barkley’s death sentence will be extended.
Even after last year’s runner-up Thunder and the previous year’s champion Mavericks both lost to the Trail Blazers, many people already believe that this bet about Barkley is likely to be cold.
Of course, there are also some fans who think the Blazers’ victory was a bit of a fluke.
The game against the Thunder was based on Aldridge’s lore, and the game against the Mavericks was purely because Nowitzki couldn’t play. There was a lot of moisture in both games.
It seems that no matter when and where, there is no shortage of bullies.
But no matter what, the pre-game atmosphere of the Clippers and Trail Blazers has become too high to be high.
Whether it’s the Clippers’ desire to end their two-game losing streak, the Blazers’ desire to tie the second-longest opening 8-game winning streak in franchise history, or the just-created matchup between the old and the new alley-oop city, this game can be described as one to watch. full.
At the same time, this is another full-meter live broadcast!
Why say it again?
Because only since Wang Zelin joined the Portland Trail Blazers, he has suddenly become the darling of live TV.
In the new season, TNT, ESPN, ABC, and major TV stations will broadcast 25 Blazers games across the United States, becoming the only 5 teams to broadcast more than 20 games across the United States.
The rankings are as follows:
23 for the Celtics, 25 for Portland, 28 for the Heat, 30 for the Lakers and 32 for the Knicks.
Sometimes I have to admit that it is good to be in a big city, and its exposure is unmatched by other cities.
However, as far as the Blazers are concerned, the 25 all-meter live broadcasts have broken the team history record, beyond their imagination. For the first time in their lives, Portland fans have discovered that their home team is so rich.
…
“Hello, viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the Trail Blazers’ away game against the Clippers. Now we are in the Staples Arena to explain to you.”
“I believe that many fans are looking forward to today’s game, and so do I.”
In the studio, today’s two commentators are Kenny Smith and O’Neal.
Originally, TNT’s plan was to continue to arrange for Barkley and O’Neal to partner, but the former was ill today and decided to take a two-day break.
Well…you know it.
“Today’s game can be said to be a contest between two lob cities, Shaquille, who do you think can make a name for themselves between these two teams?”
Hearing Kenneth Mies’ question, O’Neal laughed: “Of course it’s the Trail Blazers!”
Kenny Smith said with interest: “Why?”
“Because MyKing is the best!”
O’Neal gave his reasons without hesitation.
“MyKing” is O’Neal’s name for Wang Zelin in public several times recently, which shows his inner love for Wang Zelin, a potential younger generation.
Perhaps O’Neal himself didn’t know the reason. The more he looked at Wang Zelin, the more he recalled himself.
This may be said to be an alternative lover in the eyes of Xi Shi?
It’s not right, it should be said that the heroes cherish each other.
“…”
In the face of O’Neal in this state, Kenny Smith didn’t bother to talk anymore, because he knew that reasoning with O’Neal at this time was the same as reasoning with a woman, and it couldn’t make sense at all.
Just be happy!
…
The Clippers’ starting five tigers:
Chris Paul: Overall rating of 96
Blake Griffin: Overall rating of 87
DeAndre Jordan: Overall rating of 76
Matt Barnes: Overall rating of 73
Caron Butler: Overall Rating of 75
And Jamal Crawford, who has a combined score of 79 on the bench.
After looking at the opponent’s overall ability score, Wang Zelin looked at his side again.
Aldridge, who has just broken through to 90, Lillard of 82, Batum of 78, Matthews of 76, and Hickson of 75 on the bench.
From this point of view, in fact, apart from some gaps between the leaders of the two teams, the other players, the Blazers, may not necessarily lose to the Clippers.
In addition to his own words, the Blazers’ starting four should be stronger than the opponent.
This game has a head start.
Thinking of this, Wang Zelin became excited.
Because this season, the Clippers are No. 4 in the West, with a record of 56 wins and 26 losses. They are an opponent that is very close to the Blazers in strength, and it is a very good grinding stone.
Everyone knows that Wang Zelin’s explosion and Aldridge’s stable output are inseparable from playing to win the Thunder.
Of course, there’s a little bit of Westbrook too.
In any case, there is a certain degree of irreparable strength gap between the Blazers and the Thunder.
Now, after comparing and analyzing the strength of the Clippers, Wang Zelin finally firmly believes that the strength of his own team can definitely rank in the top six or even the top four in the West.
At least in the Northwest Division where the Blazers are located, the only threats to them are the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
…
At 6:30, the Trail Blazers away game against the Clippers, which was broadcast by ESPN All Meters, began.
In the jump ball, Wang Zelin lost to Jordan… He was already mentally prepared for this.
Paul quickly crossed halftime after receiving the ball and began directing traffic.
After some gestures, Paul called a Griffin pick-and-roll and got a chance to dislocate Aldridge.
When it comes to playing small and big, Paul is probably the strongest one on the active No. 1 position.
After a few unpredictable dribbling changes, Aldridge couldn’t find the north.
In the face of such a large space, Paul directly shot his best mid-range shot.
“Pfft!”
The basketball wipes the board into the net.
“At the beginning of the game, our captain scored a two-pointer easily, and such a mid-range shot was too easy for him.”
As Paul opened the scoring, Lillard received Wang Zelin’s serve and dribbled the ball quickly past half court.
There is no doubt about Paul’s defense, and he is very likely to be the best defensive player in NBA history at 1.83 meters.
The fast movement, aggressive switching, and strong core strength on the backline, coupled with some very disgusting tactics, made Lillard very uncomfortable against Paul’s defense.
“Rookie, I remember that you were the sixth pick this year. Why is the team’s status not as good as that of No. 36? Are you bad?”
While doing a good job in defense, Paul’s mouth was not idle, and he directly said that Lillard was inferior to Wang Zelin, intending to provoke a conflict between the two.
“You’re right. I really can’t compare to the king. He is our leader.”
Lillard is not one of those 19-year-olds who entered the league as a freshman. He has never seen anyone who has been honed for four years in college, and he admits Wang Zelin’s leadership without changing his face.
The referee on the side also quickly ran to the side, observing the movements of the two.
The key observation object is of course the old fritters of Chris Paul. Looking at Lillard’s desireless performance, Paul felt like he had encountered a seamless egg that couldn’t pierce a hole no matter how much it buzzed.
Are seniors so mature? It’s really hard to deal with.
Lillard ignored Paul’s trash talk and gestured tactically.
There are 14 seconds left in the attack time.
Lillard held the ball at a 45-degree angle to the three-point line on the right, and dribbled the ball slowly and unhurriedly. Suddenly, Wang Zelin stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll, Lillard made a sudden move, and quickly changed to the right to break through.
Wang Zelin’s sudden cover forced Paul to slam on the brakes and failed to keep up with Lillard.
Lillard’s breakthrough speed is fast and explosive. After getting rid of Paul’s defense, in front of him is Jordan.
Soon he passed the ball back to Wang Zelin, who was in a high position. After Wang Zelin received the ball, he ignored the 1.83-meter Paul beside him and raised his hand to shoot.
“Don’t think about it!”
Griffin, who was at the peak of his physical fitness, came over with a quick 80-point defense and jumped high.
Just relying on Griffin’s wingspan won’t interfere much with Wang Zelin, but well…he has a better choice.
Aldridge in the low post on the left has been emptied, Wang Zelin threw the ball upwards after a look.
Unguarded shots versus guarded shots, he can tell which one has a higher percentage.
Not everyone has the ability to shoot like the Black Mamba.
Aldridge understood and ran quickly towards the basket, stably caught Wang Zelin’s pass, and dunked vigorously with both hands, completing the fifth dunk of the season.
Alleyloop!
The Blazers responded with one of their opponents’ proudest alley-oops right off the bat.
?Andone!
What’s more terrible is that Jordan, who was actively taking off to block Aldridge, was completely swallowed alive by the former in the air, and he chopped one in front of him.
The Clippers can be said to have lost their wife and lost their soldiers.
“Cool! LaMarcus! Didn’t think you could play this kind of dunk!”
After the dunk was completed, Batum looked at Aldridge like a fairy.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Looking at the surprised eyes from his teammates and Clippers players, Aldridge scratched his head shyly.
In fact, he was going to layup just now, but he suddenly remembered his team’s new title of “Loop City”, and the idea of dunking one instantly came to his mind.
What made Aldridge even more unexpected was that Jordan actually appeared on his own dunking route, but the arrow was on the line and had to be sent.
Recalling the previous few games, Wang Zelin’s breathtaking dunks over and over again, Aldridge felt that as the big brother ~www.readwn.com~ he must not back down, so he clenched his teeth and dunked.
In the end, there was the dunk that had an excellent visual effect just now.
Standing on the free throw line to meet everyone’s complex eyes, Aldridge felt inexplicably: This feeling seems to be a little bit wonderful.
It’s just a little bit of it!
…
In Portland, local fans are also closely watching the game between the home team and the Clippers.
“Wow, it turns out that LaMarcus can run so fast and jump so high.”
“Look at the dunk just now. Those who didn’t know it thought it was the white monster on the opposite side!”
“God, LaMarcus is so good at dunking!”
When Aldridge succeeded in the alley, many fans who were surfing expressed their exclamations on the forum.
“Just kidding, you have to know that LaMarcus was selected with the second pick in the first round, and his physical talent can also be called the top.”
Netizen X started popular science.
“What, it’s amazing that LaMarcus made his debut at No. 2.”
Netizen Y is amazed, and there are many fans like Netizen Y.
This shows how low-key Aldridge used to be in the league.
Although his personal performance is not inferior to that of any player in the same position in the league, because of his personality and in a city with little exposure, many people lack a deep understanding of Aldridge.
On this night, in the game between the Blazers and the Clippers, because of a domineering alley-oop dunk, Aldridge once again appeared in the eyes of the fans after the 2006 draft.
LaMarcus Aldridge, unexpectedly hot.
