Power Forward: Serge Ibaka

Center: Kendrick Perkins

During the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said:

"From the perspective of the main lineup, the Trail Blazers have not changed at all, but don't forget that the structure of the Trail Blazers' main lineup is too young. With the growth of Wang Zelin and Damian Lillard, the strength will definitely be stronger than last season.

powerful.

As for the Thunder, they are missing their first core Kevin Durant tonight, and are currently led by their second core Westbrook to face the Trail Blazers, so their strength has dropped significantly."

Next to him, Ken Smith said: "Although the Thunder do not have an advantage in height inside, the combination of Ibaka and Perkins is still very strong on the defensive end. And Ibaka has not only been the block leader in the past few years, but also the

A regular in the best defense, so I think the Thunder’s defensive end should not be underestimated.”

"Have you forgotten who is standing under the Trail Blazers column?"

Buckley looked surprised and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Haha, Charles, I know what you mean. You mean Wang Zelin's dominance in the paint, right?"

Kenny Smith smiled awkwardly.

"Of course, I don't believe that Wang Zelin's strength will not improve after one summer! Last season, he had the strength of the Zongheng League, and this season will only be stronger!"

Buckley nodded.

"But I think he is a man and not a god after all. At least Ibaka and Perkins should be able to limit Wang Zelin's performance together."

Kenny Smith replied.

"No, no, no, I think you underestimated Wang Zelin's dominance under the basket! Besides, next to Wang Zelin is Aldridge, who averages 20 points per game. The Thunder may focus on defending Wang Zelin throughout the game against the headquarters.

"

Buckley said.

At this time, in the live broadcast of the Imperial TV, Zhang Liji said: "The Blazers' rifles have been very successful this season. The arrival of Morrow and Carter has well filled the second lineup after the departure of Mo Williams."

Yu Jia nodded: "In the championship predictions of major media, the Trail Blazers and the Cavaliers, who have just formed the Big Three, are basically regarded as the same echelon, followed by the Pacers, Spurs, Thunder, and Lakers. It can be seen from this that,

Although the following 2014~2015 season is considered to be the most competitive season in the NBA in recent years, the Trail Blazers are still the team with the most championship potential."

"On the other hand, the Thunder are unlucky to say the least. Their core team collapsed at the start of the game. This is absolutely bad news for the Thunder."

"Hey, it's time to jump the ball!"

"Hey, the king jumped so high!"

During the conversation between the two people.

On the field, a battle is about to break out.

The ball passed half-court.

In the low post on the right, Wang Zelin reached out and received Lillard's pass.

The next moment, the audience burst into applause, cheers and shouts.

The first attack of the opening game of the new season must be scored!

"Crack, click, click..."

The media's lenses were flashing crazily.

"Double team?"

Buckley yelled.

"Too decisive!"

Kenny Smith said in surprise.

Decisive?

This is the effect you want.

On the sidelines, Thunder coach Scott Brooks showed a sweet smile.

When he thought about it, Wang Zelin definitely didn't have time to make adjustments, and his reaction speed wasn't that fast. The only option left for Wang Zelin was to pass the ball!

Since everyone thought that Wang Zelin would carry out the first attack, he refused to let this idea come true.

However, the next moment, Brooks's eyes suddenly widened.

Because he saw that when Ibaka's double-team was about to form, Wang Zelin suddenly changed direction and hit Perkins' right shoulder with his right shoulder. The latter fell down with a bang and fell to the ground.

above the floor.

Then, due to the huge impact, it quickly slid backwards for several meters.

"oh!"

The entire audience burst into exclamations, followed by violent shouts and cheers.

At the same time, Wang Zelin stepped into the paint area.

Putting the ball together with both hands, he jumped up suddenly.

"boom!"

Put both hands into the bottle vigorously.

The Thunder's basket was blown open right from the start.

"Awesome! The King kicked off the new season for the Trail Blazers with a brutal two-handed dunk! In the first attack of the new season, he chose the most morale-boosting method of dunking to blast the Thunder.

The team’s basket!”

Yu Jia started roaring continuously.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

The Rose Garden Arena was in a state of extreme excitement.

"This is an offensive foul! This is an offensive foul..."

Brooks yelled at the referee, but unfortunately no one paid him any attention.

"Charles, I always feel that the connection between Wang's dribbling and breakthrough has become smoother. Is it possible that he has really taken a step further?"

Kenny Smith looked back at Barkley in surprise.

This guy's mouth must be open, he can say whatever he wants.

"Don't look at me. Didn't you realize that I was also scared?"

Buckley shrugged.

Then, his heart was filled with shock at this moment.

Just now, Wang Zelin's instantaneous explosive power and quick change of direction when faced with the attack of two people did not look like a seven-foot-long man at all.

Who is a seven-foot-tall man who dares to play like this?

In addition to the extremely high requirements for players' agility, ball control, explosiveness, and breakthrough skills are indispensable.

If anything is missing, if someone with a height of 2.16 meters dares to do this trick, his ankles will most likely not be able to bear it.

Therefore, due to their height, most inside players basically dare not make outside defender-style dribbles in fierce NBA games...even if they have this skill.

But I can’t afford to hurt my ankle!

But watching him pass Perkins, rush to the basket and dunk, and talk and laugh with his teammates, people always feel that everything in front of them is so ridiculous.

Is it possible that not only this guy's skills but also his body have also improved?

Secondary development?

You know, this is Wang Zelin's third NBA season. In the previous two seasons, the outside world did not find that he mastered this skill.

Or maybe it was just an accident.

With their minds filled with questions, everyone turned their attention back to the competition.

Thunder offense.

On the first ball, Westbrook was like carrying a bag of explosives, passing Lillard from the outside and jumping towards Wang Zelin.

He wants to dunk one!

"Snapped!"

Unfortunately, Wang Zelin didn't want to and immediately slapped Westbrook's dunk onto the backboard.

After taking off the rebound, Wang Zelin ignored Batum's request from the outside and moved forward to initiate a fast break.
Chapter completed!
