Chapter 730 The helplessness of old thief Sima(1/2)
On the 12th, the league announced the new MVP rankings. Wang Zelin ranked first, without any controversy. He successfully topped the MVP list for two consecutive weeks, and also won the Western Conference Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks.
There doesn't seem to be much to say about this. Wang Zelin's data is too comprehensive. He dominates the rankings in all major statistics. In addition, he leads the team first in the league. The outside world really can't find any faults.
The next day, at 7:30 pm on the 13th, some members of the Trail Blazers came to San Antonio. Tonight's opponent was the Spurs.
Announced before the game.
Spurs: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Matt Bonner, Tim Duncan.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Patton, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
Since Aldridge did not switch to the Spurs as he had imagined, although the Spurs management also conducted double-digit transactions this summer, most of them were signing contracts with team players, and there were no real reinforcements.
So strictly speaking, the current Spurs team is obviously weaker than the Spurs in Wang Zelin's impression.
It is worth mentioning that since Kevin Love took the initiative to apply for a trade to the Timberwolves management some time ago, the Spurs management has been flirting with him, trying to get the current Timberwolves king to the Holy City.
According to current gossip from some reporters, Love is also more inclined to join the Spurs because he has always wanted to prove that he is not just a regular season player. He also wants to play in the playoffs and have a try.
Speaking of which, Love has not even played in a playoff game since he entered the NBA and played for the Timberwolves. Considering that almost every strong team has made repairs in the summer, the entire league can really make room for it now.
It's really not much.
And the Spurs happen to be one of them.
The key now is whether Love can accept the small ball market of San Antonio. After all, based on his market value, many teams are willing to spend a lot of money to welcome him.
For example...someone in the east was taken advantage of.
well, let's get back to business.
Wang Zelin took a brief look at the Spurs' lineup, and the main players remained the same. But the difference is that the player with the highest overall rating in the Spurs team has changed from GDP to a new generation leader-Kawhi Leonard
.
“Kawhi Leonard: 88 overall rating;
Tim Duncan: overall rating 80
Tony Parker: overall rating 83
Manu Ginobili: 77 overall rating
Danny Green: overall rating 75
…”
Before this game, the Spurs had a record of 5 wins and 3 losses, still occupying one of the top eight spots in the Western Conference.
To be honest, knowing that the Spurs did not acquire Aldridge and had almost no major reinforcements this summer, Wang Zelin was quite surprised that they could maintain such a record.
This also made him more determined. He must not believe the nonsense of the Spurs old fools. He must go all out tonight.
After the warm-up, at 8 o'clock sharp, the players from both sides came to the center circle.
At the same time, the commentary from all major TV stations sounded at the same time.
"Court TV Station..."
"TNT TV station..."
“ESPN TV…”
"..."
As commentary in different languages sounded, the referee also blew the whistle to start the game and then threw the ball into the air.
Wang Zelin took off with all his strength... When he landed, he found that the opponent had retreated quickly in advance. It looked like a bear was coming.
On the court, Lillard received the ball and began to organize the Blazers' offense.
When they saw Trail Blazers No. 36 drop into the low post and start asking for the ball, the Spurs home fans' hearts suddenly jumped and they felt a little panicked for no reason.
It is undeniable that except for Leonard, the Spurs' core players, such as the GDP trio, are one year older, and the opposite Trail Blazers youth team is in its prime.
The sun is high on one side, and the sun is setting on the west mountain on the other, forming a sharp contrast.
On the court, Lillard suppressed his strong desire to pick one up and handed the ball to Wang Zelin.
Although the opponent tonight is not some Golden State elementary school student who wishes to remain anonymous, Tony Parker is also a veteran point guard in the league, and Lillard really wants to fuck Parker.
But who let the boss speak?
That's all, I'll spare you this once.
Wang Zelin caught the ball, and Duncan leaned forward. Then Duncan's expression changed slightly, because Wang Zelin's first impact made him almost lose his center of gravity.
How cruel!
"Tim, you said you're already old, but why are you still so strong? I'm worried about your old bones..."
At this time, Duncan suddenly heard Wang Zelin chattering.
He just raised his head, glared at Wang Zelin with his eyes, and was about to make a few sentences. With the first step of knocking him away, Wang Zelin turned over and shot a jumper from close range.
Swish——!
0:2!
"Oh! Throne Blazers got the first two points of this all-mi broadcast!"
TNT TV station, O'Neal said excitedly.
"A** from the king! Unlucky Tim, unlucky Spurs, they once again became the background!" Reggie Miller made a last-ditch shot next to him.
Wang Zelin, who took the lead for the Trail Blazers, ignited the atmosphere in the AT&T Center Arena right from the start.
Of course, it's the reverse kind.
During Wang Zelin's replay, there were boos all around.
"Scream, scream as much as you want! The more you scream, the more excited I will be!"
Wang Zelin, who was "enjoying" the away cheers, smiled coldly in his heart.
On the Spurs' first attack, Parker rushed into the Blazers' penalty area with the help of Duncan's cover and the cheers of the home fans.
Aldridge, who helped defend in the first place, failed to defeat Parker. As the speed representative of GDP, although the French sports car has turned into an old sports car, he is still an old driver in the drag racing world and does not know much about the standards.
Less, just right.
Especially his rich scoring ability in the paint area can even put many inside players to shame.
At 2:2, Parker stared at Wang Zelin when he retreated, with a fierce expression that seemed to say: "Isn't it just two points? I can do it too!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the youngest person in GDP, although Parker is already 33, he is still the backcourt engine of the Spurs, and his tactical status in the team is no less than that of the 20-year-old who has just been promoted.
Leonard, a member of the club.
On the court, looking back, the Blazers were in position.
Wang Zelin, who was blocked by Duncan in advance, took the initiative to cover Lillard from a high position.
I saw the coach Lee immediately started to speed up, passed the defender and rushed inside, and scored the ball with a backhand layup, 4:2!
Although Coach Li's personal ability in his rookie contract year has not reached its peak period after the season, after all, he has already been selected for the league's first team by that time and has gradually grown into a top ten player in the league. His overall rating will probably be between.
But now the 25-year-old Guidance Lee has entered the peak period of his career and is one of the active first-line point guards.
Against Parker, a former first-line point guard, he still couldn't guard Parker, but Parker also wanted to guard him.
To put it bluntly, whoever these two people belong to can't do anything to each other. Whoever is in better condition will have the upper hand.
Lillard successfully broke through and scored the game. Lillard was very excited when he touched the ball and challenged Parker crazily. Although Lillard's development direction in this time and space is more inclined to be good at both offense and defense rather than the ultimate offense in the impression, but
He always maintained a crazy heart.
Parker was successfully mocked by Lillard. On the Spurs' next attack, the old sports car's throw was a bit reluctant, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin collected the rebound, but the Spurs retreated very quickly and did not give them a chance for a fast break. After passing the ball to Lillard, the two advanced slowly.
When retreating, Duncan subconsciously rubbed Parker's head, trying to remind Parker not to worry.
But he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his touch, and then he lowered his head and saw Parker's complaining eyes, and then retracted his claws angrily.
The Blazers continue to attack.
Sima Weiqi made a gesture on the sidelines, and Ma Zhi quickly made defensive adjustments.
Lillard's defender suddenly became Leonard.
"The old thief's reaction is really fast!" Wang Zelin frowned. He originally planned to let Lillard, who had a good touch, attack a few more times, but he didn't expect Simavici to be ready to strangle Lillard so quickly.
Although Lillard has always claimed to be the third core player in the team, ranking behind Aldridge and Wang Zelin in scoring ability, in fact he is the most important starting point for the Trail Blazers' outside offense.
Without him to drive the other two outsiders to output firepower, how could Wang Zelin and Aldridge's offense be so easy?
Although basketball sometimes emphasizes superstar moments, most of the time, it is about teamwork.
On the court, Leonard performed his signature death coil as soon as he came on. From a defensive effect point of view, our Spurs young coach did a pretty good job.
When the clouds come, they will block it, and when the water comes, the soil will cover it up. This is the Spurs' style.
