In the beginning of the NBA, O'Neal was drawn in his old age Chapter 72: When you get older, others will block young people from ascending to the throne.
Chapter 72: When you get older, others will block young people from ascending to the throne.
After the start of the second half, Howard scored 11 points and 6 rebounds in the third quarter despite his back injury. Kobe also scored 14 points with crazy shots, looking like he was going to win the game.
But despite this, the Lakers still failed to withstand the Blazers' crazy offensive wave.
The Lakers' strange performance in the first half convinced all members of the Trail Blazers that the Lakers team in front of them had neither tactics nor defense.
Therefore, Aldridge led the rotation to become more and more confident, and the Lakers' morale gradually became deflated as the point difference gradually widened.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Jamison in the Lakers' rotation suddenly burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, leading the bench players to an 8:0 climax.
Lakers 73:85 Trail Blazers!
Seeing that the score was about to get within ten points, coach Terry quickly put Wang Zelin and Lillard back on the court.
From the beginning to now, Aldridge has played nearly 40 minutes and scored a team-high 25 points. His physical strength has begun to be insufficient and his offensive efficiency has declined.
Currently, the Trail Blazers still lead the Lakers by 12 points. The coach here believes that Wang Zelin and Lillard will not let the team down.
The Lakers also changed the on-court lineup to Howard, Jaxson, Ci Shiping, Kobe Bryant and Stephen Blake.
There are now more than 7 minutes left before the end of the game, and they still have a chance to fight.
"Damien, if we withstand this wave of counterattacks from the Lakers, we can get countless flowers, applause and fame. How about that? Are you confident?"
Wang Zelin and Lillard, who had rested for more than half a quarter, immediately stood up and took off their warm jackets that were wet with sweat.
"What did you say!"
Lillard smiled back.
The two high-fived excitedly, and all the cameras captured this scene on the Trail Blazers' bench.
"Wow, our 12-year-old twin stars are on stage again. Damien currently has 17 points, 6 assists and 1 steal, and King has 13 points and 8 rebounds. We look forward to their next performance."
The commentator on the sidelines became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience to this young pair.
"Humph, he's just a young boy. Let's see if I don't beat him up in a while."
When Howard saw this scene, he curled his lips in disdain.
He currently has a team-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, firmly suppressing Wang Zelin in both scoring and rebounding statistics.
"Okay, seize the last moment, we still have hope to overtake."
After hearing what Kobe said, the other three people didn't react at all. Only Howard was a little impatient, but he quickly hid it.
He can ignore Nash, but not Kobe.
Even now, Howard still remembers the bloodthirsty displayed by the opponent when he played against the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant in the Finals that year.
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers have the ball.
Now that Aldridge is resting off the court, the team's offensive responsibility falls on the two rookies, and the fans began to chant the names of Wang Zelin and Lillard.
Wang Zelin came to the high post to help Lillard, and Hickson inside also quickly ran out of the three-second zone, freeing up space for breakthrough.
Blake was stuck on the other end by Wang Zelin's excellent pick-and-roll. Lillard did not hesitate and shot a three-pointer.
Howard, who was behind Wang Zelin, failed to catch up and was hit by Lillard with a three-pointer.
88:73!
This is Lillard's best and favorite way to score in college.
Remembering the record of 246 three-pointers, the most in the history of the Weber State University, it is a testimony to how terrifying his three-pointers after the pick-and-roll are.
As long as they defend the Lakers' round, the Trail Blazers will have a chance to widen the point difference again.
"be careful!"
Seeing that the score was widened again, Howard couldn't help but roared from Blake.
"I know, I know."
The sudden scolding from the team's fourth boss left Blake at a loss and could only lower his head and admit his mistake.
"Um!"
Seemingly satisfied with his boss-like behavior, Howard turned around and left with a bright smile.
At this time, Howard was still an out-and-out happy beast, and had not yet been baptized by another "4 AM" boss.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Blake passed the basketball to Howard. Originally he just wanted Howard to make a transition and then complete the off-ball movement tactics.
But who would have thought that Howard would directly play with Wang Zelin in a post-up game.
Even though Howard has scored more than 20 points, he has only taken the initiative to hold the ball and score a few times. More than 80% of his points are either cutting inside to receive passes from teammates, or grabbing second rebounds to tip-in.
Are you planning to fuck me with the ball?
Wang Zelin was a little surprised and suddenly became extremely excited.
Master Huo's 63 is all about beating, stop making trouble.
When Howard and Wang Zelin came into physical contact, the camera under the backboard suddenly found that the only figure in his sight was the latter.
Where is our Mr. Incredible?
emmmm, completely covered by Wang Zelin.
If you really want to talk about it, Howard's height of 211cm in shoes is still not outstanding enough for the center position.
Just like a basketball commentator said: Howard is just a "lucky guy" who was born in the right era, and his actual ability is not as powerful as shown in the data.
With Howard's body as a center, he can stand out in this era of declining big men. Compared with Wang Zelin, a heavy center with a bare foot of 216cm and a shoe of 220cm, his shortcomings are immediately obvious.
shit!
Why is the body shape of this yellow-skinned boy so similar to that of the fat man?
I still don't believe it. Can he really have that guy's power?
Howard continued to beat Wang Zelin hard and fought hard, but found that the latter was not moving at all.
At this time, Kobe had already run out of position to signal the pass, and when Howard was about to pass it, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Superman, is this the only level of your power?"
Wang Zelin's ridicule aroused Howard's displeasure: How dare this damn Chinese boy make fun of me?
Also pass it on, pass it on!
Full of anger, Howard burst out with more force and took another step inside. After reaching the three-second zone, he turned around and took off, with only the basket in his eyes.
See if I don’t beat you to pieces!
At this time, Sparks did not hide the contempt on his face. He did not think that a mere Asian center could stop him.
But just as he was smashing the ball down with both hands, a black spot suddenly appeared in Howard's field of vision, and it quickly became bigger and bigger.
This is...a hand?
It’s the hand of Trail Blazer No. 36!
Wang Zelin, who has McGee's running and jumping talent, is already ahead of most centers in the league in terms of dynamic physical talent. Although he can't compare to Howard's top running and jumping ability, don't forget that Wang Zelin is 5cm taller and has a wingspan higher than Howard.
It is even 6cm longer.
This kind of height?
impossible!
The yellow-skinned palm got closer and closer. Howard's eyes suddenly widened and his color changed instantly.
Under Howard's unbelievable gaze, Wang Zelin's right hand finally touched the basketball that was falling at high speed.
Snapped!
The heavy fan flew out of bounds.
Is this covered?
Our rookie really gave the league's number one center a big hit!
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
The home fans were suffocated at first, and then cheered overwhelmingly, instantly boiling the whole place.
"Mr. Superman seems to be old. Since you are old, then go home and wait for him. Don't block the young people from getting to the top!"
Looking at Howard's astonished expression, Wang Zelin chewed his braces, and the ridiculing voice echoed in the former's ears again.
