It turns out once again, never try to get into Trail Blazer 36.
After Wiggins completed his gorgeous opening show, before everyone in the Kings could rejoice for too long, the real horror had quietly arrived.
Offensive and defensive transition, Blazers attack.
With the tacit cooperation between Lillard and Wang Zelin, the two contributed a wonderful alley-oop to the fans.
It's not over yet.
It was the Kings' turn to attack, and Wiggins once again succeeded in breaking through, but his inevitable dunk was destroyed.
"Boy, your performance ends here!"
Wang Zelin, who was helping to defend behind him, jumped up and slapped Wiggins away for a dunk, making the latter grit his teeth in anger.
While killing people and killing people, Wang Zelin's every move was bloody, and no one could stand it.
In the next round, Wiggins wanted to attack again, but this time the ball was stolen by Gai Yin, and he started to play singles with the ball from the outside.
One advantage of this tactic is that business is good when it is difficult to be blocked. The disadvantage is that it is a gamble on touch.
And Gai Yin has been playing this way since he entered the league. He doesn't like physical confrontation, he just likes to rely on touch and likes to shoot from the outside.
In the first attack of the new season, Gai Yin was eager to prove his ability, but the opposite was true for Batum.
Batum, who has been in his eighth year since his debut, is now an out-and-out veteran. Known for his defense, he has already defended against all the offensive masters in the league. He already has a plan in mind for different opponents.
means of coping.
Since Gai Yin doesn't like physical confrontation, he will go to the opponent's body.
Facing Batum's stalking defense, Gai Yin played very hard. His whole body seemed to be stuck to a piece of brown sugar. The more he fought, the farther he moved to the outside. Seeing that the time was getting less and less, he could only grow two goals.
I separated one...
"Clang!"
The ball bounced out of the box.
Gai Yin has never been an efficient scorer. On the contrary, his offensive efficiency is extremely inefficient and he likes to play in isolation, which makes him often outside the team system. In the end, although he has outstanding offensive talents, he is still inevitably eliminated by the Grizzlies.
Abandon it, and your career will start to go downhill from then on.
Under the basket, Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound and passed it to Lillard, and the Trail Blazers launched a fast break.
This Kings team, which has always performed poorly, has long lost good defensive habits. Except for Rondo, who just joined the Kings, he reacted immediately and returned to the defense in time. The other 4 Kings players on the court, including the one with the best outside defense ability at the moment,
Wiggins' reaction was obviously more than one beat slower than Rondo and the Trail Blazers players.
The whole game was 3 on 1, which would be too difficult for Long, who is 185, to coach.
"boom!"
Lillard hit an alley-oop, Batum jumped up, caught the rebound and dunked with one hand.
The Trail Blazers' morale is getting stronger and stronger, while the Kings' morale is gradually declining.
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Kings by 16 points. The strength gap between the two teams was so huge that it was blindingly obvious.
But fortunately, this was just a preseason game. The two sides mainly focused on formation, and the Trail Blazers did not have any murderous intentions. In the second quarter, the substitutes of the two sides played against each other. It was basically offense versus offense, and the score went up a lot.
Fast, and the Kings didn't fall too far behind.
In the second half, change sides and fight again.
Just two minutes into the game, the Trail Blazers came on the bench and scored 20 points in just 6 minutes, widening the point difference to 30 points in one fell swoop, and the game officially entered garbage time.
In the final quarter of the game, the substitutes from both sides showed their skills and the scene looked extremely lively. Due to the huge difference in points, Wang Zelin, Lillard and others did not play until the end of the game.
In the end, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Kings at home and won their first win of the preseason.
Two days later, everyone from the Trail Blazers arrived at the Oracle Arena. Last year's two Western Conference Finals teams competed for the first time in the new season. As expected, it attracted a lot of attention.
But unfortunately, there was a lot of tension on the court between the two teams. The head coaches of the two teams did not seem to pay attention to the preseason. The main players' playing time was generally limited to 25 minutes, mainly to consider the rookies and running-in tactics.
In the end, Jokic, who was in excellent form, led the team to defeat the Warriors' second team in the competition between the two teams' second teams. He even had a near-triple-double with 7 rebounds and 7 assists. As a result, the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors in an away game.
, happy to mention two consecutive victories.
After competing against the Warriors, the next two opponents seemed even more boring. Wang Zelin basically played for about 20 minutes, and after a slight double-double, he went off the court to rest early. While crossing his legs, he admired the performance of Harrell, the rookie of this year’s team.
Performance.
Not to mention, after 4 preseason games, since the team has only one rookie this year, Harrell, and there are no new players, the training resources he has received are actually better than most rookies at the same level.
At least during the preseason, this was the case. He averaged 30 minutes of playing time per game. In terms of personal data, he also averaged 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal per game.
It looks pretty good. Although the offensive end is mediocre, mainly focusing on air cuts and secondary attacks at the basket, his on-court value is mainly reflected on the defensive end.
After a few games, in terms of defensive potential and defensive enthusiasm, Harrell successfully passed the inspection of the Trail Blazers coaching staff, which also allowed the management to determine his future role positioning and training direction in the team.
After 4 preseason games, the Trail Blazers have won 4 out of 4 games, averaging a double-digit win over their opponents per game. Although it is just a side dish at the start of the new season, it still gives everyone a glimpse of the terrifying side of the defending champion.
Regardless of the Lakers, no matter how much the Bulls struggled during the offseason, there is only one ultimate boss that everyone recognizes as the new season's boss, and that is the Portland Trail Blazers!
…
On the evening of the 14th, after the last preseason game was played and a series of post-game activities were completed, it was past 12 o'clock after the interview, and Wang Zelin returned to his new home.
After coming back, she and Jenna first had a love-making bath, and then returned to bed half an hour later. Jenna, who was addicted to food, seemed unwilling to admit defeat, and started the Second World War with Wang Zelin...
After two hours of tossing, Wang Zelin looked at Jenna who had fallen asleep after being exhausted. Wang Zelin kissed her on the forehead, turned on the air conditioner, wrapped herself in bed, and went to the downstairs bathroom to take a bath to relieve the pain in her stomach.
feeling of fatigue.
After taking a bath and going back to bed, I looked at my phone and it was already 3 o'clock.
However, Wang Zelin had no intention of sleeping, because he had another big thing to do tonight.
The consciousness entered the system space, and his eyes stayed on the upper right corner of the lottery panel. The current remaining fan value: 10,000!
Wang Zelin saw that he not only had another small goal, but also had some leftovers. He knew it was time to strengthen his efforts.
