"You haven't paid your rent for three days, right? Damn it, you Spurs bastards, if you dare to play dirty tricks with labor and management, you'll have to pull off your pants, right... I'm going to kill you today!"

Wang Zelin muttered as he walked towards the backcourt.

Duan Ran said: "The Spurs' defense was very decisive today. They actually played a three-and-one defense. Are they preparing to fight the king?"

Yang Yi continued: "It's probably a new attempt, and everyone is now familiar with the Blazers' preferred starting offensive tactics, giving them a chance. Otherwise, with the tacit understanding between King Wang and Lillard, it would be impossible to have a three-and-one."

Opportunity."

The Spurs attack and Parker advances with the ball.

Today, Parker has completely handed over the ball to the next generation of core players, and his average number of shots per game has dropped to 9, which is second only to the 8.3 shots per game he averaged during the 2001-02 season as a rookie, the second lowest number in his career.

In addition, his average of 10.1 points per game is also the second lowest in his career since his rookie season.

It seems that the Spurs' era of GDP has really passed!

Fortunately, as an experienced veteran, Parker's court control ability is quite good. While patiently organizing his teammates to run tactics, he also pays attention to the positioning of the Blazers players.

At this time, Leonard had an opportunity, misplaced the ball and hit Connett Lee, carrying the latter into the three-point line.

Wang Zelin went up to the free throw line, and behind him Diamond was preparing to catch the ball under the basket.

Facing Wang Zelin's defense, Leonard did not act recklessly and found an opportunity to pass the ball in.

Compared with Wang Zelin, Diamond is not worth mentioning, but among players in the same position, he can be regarded as a quite high-quality team puzzle piece.

His years in the NBA are not short. After being selected by the Warriors in the 2013-14 season, he changed to three teams in a row during his rookie season. After two years of playing for the Magic, he came to the Spurs in the last year of his rookie contract.

In his previous life, it was precisely because of the training opportunities he got with the Spurs that Diamond was later traded to the Hawks. After that, he performed at the peak of his career, averaging 10.7 per game for two consecutive years. He still has qualified abilities.

During his time with the Spurs, he also averaged 5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, shooting 62.2% from the field, and his playing time was only 17.5 minutes. His efficiency was already quite astonishing.

Diamond currently does not have the ability to shoot from long range. He mainly focuses on finishing at the basket.

Generally speaking, when reaching a relatively deep position under the basket, Diamond's efficiency in catching and finishing the ball is quite impressive, and this ball is basically a sure shot.

But, who made him meet Wang Zelin tonight?

As soon as Leonard released the ball, Wang Zelin immediately turned around and pounced on Diamond.

At this time, Diamond was unaware of the danger and was approaching quietly. He had gone through hard training since coming to the Spurs and thought he had greatly improved. Now it was time to test the results.

In fact, it's not just him, other players in the league are also forced by Wang Zelin's terrifying defensive ability and are constantly making efforts to conduct targeted training on their own abilities to avoid being eliminated by this era.

Point guards are improving their passing ability, shooters are speeding up their shots and improving their shooting percentages, and post players are mainly improving their tonnage, strengthening confrontation and finishing at the basket.

After taking off, just when Diamond was about to dunk, Wang Zelin returned to defend and jumped faster and higher than him. The ghost knife opened and grabbed the rebound over his head.

Ignoring the exclamations that broke out at the scene, Lillard turned around and almost got off. The old French sports car with aging parts couldn't catch up with him.

Wang Zelin passed the ball, Lillard caught the ball, stopped suddenly, and shot a three-pointer.

Swish——!

The ball hit the net hollowly, causing a splash of water.

5:0, the Trail Blazers got off to a strong start.

The Spurs attack again.

Parker once again advanced to the full court, and Leonard clapped his hands for the ball from outside the three-point line on the right wing.

After handing the ball to the star, Parker made a move without the ball and went around to the left corner, waiting for an opportunity.

The one who defended Leonard changed back to Batum and did not let Connett Lee defend.

Connet Lee, who was born on October 3, 1985, is now 31 years old. His speed, reaction and physical confrontation are not as good as in earlier years. Although he relies on his excellent defensive awareness, he can still maintain a level above the same position.

defense, but if he is asked to defend Leonard alone, it is almost like giving away food.

In comparison, Batum, who was born in 1988 and just celebrated his 28th birthday a few days ago, is the best candidate.

If Barton is not accidentally injured, he and Batum will form the two defensive gates to limit the Spurs' outside core Leonard tonight.

It's a pity that Button is injured. Now Batum can only bear the huge pressure and grit his teeth to defend Leonard alone.

Before the game, Wang Zelin noticed that Leonard's mid-range shooting ability has reached as high as 94, making him one of the strongest mid-range shooting masters currently active. His scoring output is also among the best among active outside players.

This means that the stuck version of Jordan in my impression has quietly appeared this season.

No matter how much fans ridicule the weird shots of the stuck version of Jordan, that’s still Jordan?!

Who knows how Leonard used those big hands to develop such a precise mid-range, like the Greek monster later. If he could develop Leonard's mid-range with 60% or 70% power, I'm afraid the entire league would be

It’s truly a devastating ending.

Fortunately, Antetokounmpo's shooting is still his serious shortcoming, which prevents him from being as unsolvable in the playoffs as he was in the regular season.

"Nicholas, watch out for his mid-range!"

Out of concern, Wang Zelin reminded Batum.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Leonard immediately started, dribbling the ball twice in a row, taking a big step to the left, and took a long two-point shot.

Batum hurriedly followed up and blocked the shot. There was nothing wrong with his defense, but...

Swish——!

Leonard still scored the ball.

2:5, this is a typical superstar ball!

Whether your defense is in place or not has nothing to do with my shots!

To describe it in one word, it is tough!

"Well done, Kawaii!"

Parker walked over, stood on tiptoes, and imitated a certain No. 21 who had just retired. He put his sharp claws into Leonard's dreadlocks with a smirk on his face.

"..."

The familiar movements made the corners of the robot's mouth twitch slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a certain bald man on the bench, and decisively took a step back, avoiding Parker's clutches.

Are you serious about taking half a step back?

"Oh, our Kawaii has grown up and is no longer well-behaved!" Parker said with some regret, pretending to be sad.

"What the hell are you two doing? Get back to defense!"

This scene made people laugh. Sima Weiqi next to him felt so embarrassed that he stood up and yelled.

But after sitting back down, the slight smile on his lips revealed that the old man was in a good mood at the moment.

Leonard has lived up to the Spurs' high expectations. He is the perfect successor after Duncan retires. I believe that under his leadership, the Spurs will definitely be able to take the league by storm again.

In the backcourt of the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin always felt strange when he saw the friendly interaction between the Spurs master and apprentice from a distance. In the end, he did not forget to glance at Sima Wei and muttered to himself.

Laugh, laugh as much as you want now!

When Leonard leaves the Spurs and goes to a different place in the future, some of you will cry.

At this time, Wang Zelin gave Lillard a look, and Lillard immediately turned around and took the ball down at full speed.

In the backcourt, Wang Zelin ran without the ball after serving the ball, and his speed was no less than that of Lillard holding the ball. The three Blazers players in the frontcourt reacted instantly, either pulling away from the outside, or going down to attack the frame, or stopping.

In the corner, ready to catch the ball.

This is the Blazers' bottom line today. The serve and fast break tactics are aimed at the fact that Parker is slower than Lillard.

The unprepared Parker was thrown away by more than one step in the center circle. Lillard met Leonard's defense at the top of the arc, crossed to the left and passed it to Jokic.

At this time, Jokic has already stretched beyond the three-point line, and Love is more than two meters away from him, which is equivalent to a wide open space for a three-point shot.

Swish——!

The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.

8:2, the Trail Blazers lead at home.

"It's so easy to score. The Blazers' fast breaks are getting better and better. In fact, in terms of speed, even Jokic can be evenly matched with Love at this point. Both center and point guard Lillard have the advantage, and their overall speed is stronger.

To the Spurs." Yang Yi analyzed.

"The Blazers' tactics are targeted. Just like during the previous seven-game winning streak, as long as the king can find the opponent's weakness and beat him hard in the penalty area, it is very effective. This is also a question of the rationality of the lineup. If it is unreasonable, this weakness will be easy to

Let the opponent catch it." Duan Ran smiled.

Spurs attack.

The ball went around and around, and finally it was in Leonard's hands.

Batum immediately pressed Leonard closely, and this time he didn't want to leave even a slight opening for the latter.

After all, Batum is also a typical 2.03 meter Tracy McGrady genius. He entered the NBA in the first round. His physical fitness is absolutely unparalleled, and his strength and speed are not inferior to Leonard.

Being entangled by Batum, Leonard was a little passive.

The offensive ball was quickly transferred to Love, seemingly hoping that he could hit Jokic hard in the low post.

However, the Trail Blazers have always been the winner of Christmas Day games in the past four seasons, whether at home or away. What's more, today they are still at home in the Rose Garden, and every Trail Blazers player's face is full of desire for victory.
