Chapter 580: I fucked Teacher Jia with just one ball, which made me depressed
Regarding Orsi's call, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar neither agreed nor objected, but simply replied:
"Tonight, I will go to the Thunder's home court to watch the game."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
On the other side, Orsi showed a confident smile:
Hehe, Mr. Tiangou, you can't escape.
December 23rd at 8pm US time.
Chesapeake Energy Stadium.
There were more fans coming to watch the game than in the last game.
The square outside the arena was packed with people. Many fans clearly didn't get tickets, but they were still unwilling to give up tonight's game.
On the one hand, due to the reappearance of Sky Hook in the league, many NBA players who had not played today also rushed to the scene.
Just to see the beauty of Tiangou.
on the other hand.
Today’s back-to-back with the Thunder,
In addition to daily training for the entire Trail Blazers team, Wang Zelin and Jokic's additional training was forcibly stopped by the coaching staff.
However, there was good news before the game:
After 10 days of recovery, Batum's knee problem has been completely resolved, and he can return to action tonight.
For Wang Zelin and countless Trail Blazers fans, this is undoubtedly exciting news.
But for the Thunder, they felt terrible.
Originally, the news of Durant and Westbrook's comebacks at the beginning of the month greatly inspired Thunder fans, because they believed that as long as the king's explosive combination was there, the Thunder would still be a powerhouse in the league.
Facts have proved that the Wang Zha combination did not disappoint them.
Before December 19, the Thunder had won seven games in a row and were on the verge of returning to the top eight in the Western Conference.
As a result, on the night of December 19, when the Thunder played the Warriors away from home, Durant scored 30 points in the first half. Just when everyone thought that the Thunder would lead the team to 8 points with a thunderous momentum tonight.
During the winning streak, Durant unfortunately sprained his foot and fell to the ground in the last attack...
Then,
Due to a sprained right ankle, Durant entered a truce again.
In the end, Golden State Warriors core Stephen Curry hit three consecutive goals at critical moments and scored 34 points, helping the home team defeat the Thunder and ending the latter's 7-game winning streak.
In the next two games, facing the Lakers and Pelicans, the Thunder first lost to the Lakers in an away game at 104:105.
The one who executed the buzzer-beating shot was naturally the Lakers star, Kobe Bryant.
In this game, Kobe only hit 8 of 25 shots from the field, and his hand was not good, but this did not affect him from hitting the buzzer-beater at the critical moment and completing the final redemption.
After losing to his idol Kobe, Westbrook led the Thunder to the home court of the Pelicans. He originally wanted to give the opponent a good beating, but with the help of his star, Davis scored 38-12 in the game.
Defeated the Thunder 101:99.
The most critical moment of this game is the last 2.9 seconds.
Westbrook missed the buzzer-beater, ultimately causing the Thunder to suffer a three-game losing streak.
At this stage,
The Thunder's record is 13 wins and 16 losses, falling from ninth in the Western Conference to eleventh in the Western Conference.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers on the opposite side, with Wang Zelin making a comeback and defeating the strong team Mosaic last night to stop the team's bleeding, have won two consecutive games and are still proud of the league with a record of 26 wins and 3 losses!
Therefore, this game is also extremely important for the Thunder. If they still cannot end their losing streak tonight, then the Thunder will most likely have difficulty catching up in the middle and later stages because of their poor record in the early part of the season.
You know, the Western Conference is notoriously wild. At the beginning of this season, the Trail Blazers' 24-game winning streak directly caused the entire Western Conference to go crazy.
If the Thunder doesn't follow the involution now, it will be much more difficult to compete for a playoff spot later than it is now.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers not only still lacked two main players tonight, but also played back-to-back games. The Thunder occupies a favorable geographical location, and the home fans still have great expectations for the home team to win.
In addition to affecting the records of both sides, another highlight of this game is that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, an NBA legend and the number one in the all-time scoring list, also came to the scene tonight.
After receiving the news that Tiangou would come to watch the game in person, all media reporters fell into excitement and carnival.
The purpose of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's trip is self-evident.
Don't you just want to inspect Wang Zelin's version of Sky Hook on the spot and see how powerful it is?
"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who leads the all-time scoring list, is also here for this game, and his attention will be on Wang."
"To be honest, Wang's hook has some shadow of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. At least before this, I have never seen another player besides Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who performs an effective hook at the free throw line."
The two commentators from ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy and Camp Bayless, seemed particularly excited at this moment.
Oklahoma itself is just a small city, and the football market here is not even as good as Portland. It is just because of the existence of the famous combination that there is no lack of exposure.
But like today, it is the first time that a generation of legends can pretend to be present in person!
The last time the Oklahoma City Tieling was so lively was back in 2012 during the Finals against the Heat.
Counting down the major mythical beasts in NBA history, the data maniac Chamberlain, the King of the Rings Russell, and even the four major centers later, there have been too many outstanding people at the center position.
But it is undeniable that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the real number one scorer! He is the real super scorer!
Even if the center position has to be ranked 1, 2, or 3, many authoritative media are more willing to rank Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at No. 1 at the center position.
His career has been too fruitful, both in terms of personal honors and team honors!
"I heard that the Trail Blazers management has contacted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and wants to invite him to become the assistant coach of the Trail Blazers."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Assistant coaching is all nonsense. The Blazers management just wants Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to teach Wang Tiangou."
"Haha, yes, then do you think Jabba will agree to the Trailblazers' invitation?"
Hearing this question, Jeff Van Gandhi was silent for only a moment, and then answered affirmatively:
"For the sake of Tiangou's inheritance, he will definitely agree!"
The inheritance of Tiangou?
Sitting in the front row, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar heard Jeff Van Gandhi's answer and glanced at Wang Zelin thoughtfully.
My child, it's not that easy to get my approval. I've given you the chance, it just depends on whether your performance tonight can satisfy me.
But in the end, he didn't say anything and just sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the game to start.
After all, he is well versed in the principle of "hearing is false, seeing is believing".
No matter how powerful you are on TV, it's still fake and not real.
So, here he comes.
The camera is on the court, the players from both sides have finished warming up, and the game has begun!
Wang Zelin took this game very seriously and showed a strong competitive spirit from the very beginning of the jump ball.
Before the game, Nel Orsi told himself that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would come to watch the game. If he performed well tonight and was recognized by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he would most likely get the legend's support.
Even though Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had served as an assistant coach with the Clippers before and briefly coached the New York Knicks, for him to really be able to use all his skills from the heart and pass them on to others, the Lakers management would have to speak up.
When he served as the Lakers assistant coach from 2005 to 2009, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar personally taught Bynum, the little shark, and even planned to teach the other player all his sky hooks.
It's a pity that Bynum didn't use it when he was given a chance!
Bynum even had a conflict with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during training, so much so that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar became angry and refused the Lakers' request to continue coaching.
Finally, after he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, he ended his contract as a special assistant coach with the Lakers.
The gutter technology, like CIC, gets better with age.
If he can get the guidance of such a good teacher, Wang Zelin is sure that he will make rapid progress. Besides, the reason why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can become the first scorer in history is that the sky hook is the most important, but this is not the most important thing.
It doesn't mean that his skills in other areas are any weaker.
An old man in a family is like a treasure. Every superstar who has ever made a name for himself in the NBA, their years of experience in the league is a valuable asset.
After the two of them get to know each other well, then they can get some other useful information from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...
It's simply full of temptation.
So tonight, we must win the Thunder!
"Snapped!"
Facing Ibaka, Wang Zelin jumped up and easily won the first attack for the team.
In tonight's game, the Thunder did not adopt other defensive methods and continued the traditional man-to-man marking.
The heavy responsibility of defending Wang Zelin undoubtedly falls on Ibaka's shoulders.
At this moment, he felt extremely guilty!
He also watched the video of yesterday's game. If Wang Zelin can maintain that kind of game tonight, let alone 28 cards or 38 cards, he can't be guarded!
In a one-on-one situation in the right short corner, Wang Zelin blocked his position and successfully caught Lillard's pass.
Ibaka gave Wang Zelin a lot of confrontation behind him.
As the Thunder's inside gatekeeper, he knows very well that in order to restrict players like Wang Zelin, he must make the opponent feel uncomfortable at all times on the offensive end.
Especially for this kind of physical confrontation, it must be done. It is best to prevent Wang Zelin from making complete movements.
But he seemed to have forgotten what kind of beast was standing opposite him?
Play with strength and tonnage. Do you have the strength?
In terms of height and wingspan, do you have that kind of physique?
Facing Ibaka's tough defense, Wang Zelin chose a post-up play without hesitation.
"Bang!"
Their bodies collided instantly.
Ibaka is really on a mission to resist. It can be seen that he has also practiced hard in the low post this summer. His physique is much stronger than last season, and his lower plate is much more solid than before. It should be what the Thunder need.
He does this.
Which team doesn't have a big human shield now, how can it resist the Trail Blazers' No. 36?
If there is no way to limit No. 36, then the only fate left is to be easily slaughtered by others. After the finals last year, everyone gradually formed a consensus.
The dominance of No. 36 under the basket is not necessarily inferior to that of O'Neal back then. He doesn't have a human shield to carry him, otherwise... he will definitely be arranged clearly.
There is no way, they are just so arrogant!
After another collision, Ibaka's steps were already scattered. Although he was not knocked away, he was forced to take a big step back.
On the other side, just as Kendrick Perkins was considering whether to come over to help defend, Wang Zelin suddenly turned around after the confrontation, blocked Ibaka with his left hand, and made a direct hook with his right hand.
Swish——!
The basketball drew a wonderful arc and fell into the basket perfectly.
2:0!
The Trail Blazers took their first lead of the game!
Suddenly, the camera suddenly switched to the sidelines, and the person displayed on the big screen turned into an old man with white hair and beard. At this time, the old man had stood up from his position and stared straight at the court.
interesting!
The old man is none other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
When he saw Wang Zelin in front of him, he completed the first attack in the way he was most familiar with and proud of.
Even if I don’t want to admit it, I can’t help but feel that the new generation is better than the old one.
The kid in front of me actually mastered the Sky Hook!
Boy, I approve of you!
When he sat down, another big question mark appeared in his mind:
Where did this kid learn the sky hook?
Not everyone can be like the little blacksmith in Milan who can learn it just by watching video tapes. That is a talent unique to the truly gifted. This kid...
Well, he seems to be a proud man too!
Heck, even before Teacher Jia officially took up the post, he began to worry about how he would be the coach when facing Wang Zelin after taking up the post.
What teacher doesn’t like gifted students?
But if the student is too talented, the teacher will appear to be a bit redundant.
And our Teacher Jia couldn't help but start to feel entangled in her heart.
"Ibaka can't guard against the king! He can't guard against Sky Hook! The future era will belong to this young man!"
Because he coached Yao Yao, Jeff Van Gandhi has a good impression of Wang Zelin and said excitedly in the stands.
Although it was only one round, he had already seen the results.
This compatriot of Yao is very likely to dominate the alliance!
On the court.
After Wang Zelin scored, Ibaka's expression changed. After watching this game, it was probably far beyond his imagination!
Thinking of what happened to Howard last night, he couldn't help but shuddered~ Wow!
