NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - Vol 2 Chapter 1002
Chapter 1002 New changes, big explosion
He made 7 of 7 shots in a single quarter, scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. He was only one steal away, and Wang Zelin could fill the entire data table.
“Hibert, who spoke wildly before the game, did not play his due value. With all due respect, the Cavaliers spent 8 million this year will be in vain.” Kenny Smith said.
“In the opening game of the new season, Wang once again showed his violent side! No matter how many cattle and sheep are, they are still just cattle and sheep. No matter how much they team up, they are still no match for the Tigers!” Barkley said.
Facing the rooftop, Zhang Lili said: “Judging from the offensive tactics of the Trail Blazers in the first quarter, they are obviously smoother than last season. Fast break tactics are likely to play a very important role in their offensive system this season. status.”
Yu Jiadao: “Nikola Jokic’s chemical reaction after taking the fourth position was beyond expectations. He and the king sent a total of 6 assists in a single quarter, which is enough to show how well the Trail Blazers’ tactics work. Smooth.”
Zhang Lili smiled and said: “Yeah, I thought that Adelaide’s injury would affect the offensive firepower of the Blazers’ lineup in the new season, but I didn’t expect that the scoring ability of their new lineup is likely to be improved to a higher level. ”
“Lillard, Jokic, and King all have the ability to control the ball independently. They can attack by themselves or organize teammates to attack on the field. The coordination between the three points is unpredictable, let alone the Cavaliers. Even if other teams come, they won’t be able to eat and walk around today.”
Yu Jia also laughed out loud.
In the second quarter, in order to chase points, the Cavaliers made another lineup adjustment, which became the lineup during the finals of last season, with James playing the fourth position and the other four points partnering with the shooter.
Irving and JR are still on the field, the Cavaliers need their three-point fire support, with Shumpert at the third position and Channing Fry at the fifth position.
The most standard one-star four-shot system!
Seeing this, Coach Terry also immediately replaced Wang Zelin.
You have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder!
Speaking of which, in the past 15 years, the Trail Blazers have won 15 consecutive regular season openers, which can be called a rather glorious record in team history.
Therefore, Coach Terry felt that it was necessary for him to extend this glorious record.
In the second quarter, both sides sent out the main force + important rotation lineup, and then gradually became the full main lineup. This quarter became a confrontation battle between the two sides.
James had no solution to break through the tank to score, and Wang Zelin immediately responded by brutally tossing the basket in the penalty area.
Jokic caught the ball and made a false fax to make a sudden foul and scored two points. Irving also made a mid-range emergency stop jumper and made a foul.
In the mutual battle, the defense of both sides is particularly important.
Hibbert’s shortcomings are too obvious. He didn’t play much in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers’ defense immediately became as poor as last season.
Although the Trail Blazers are speeding up, the basic defensive system is still there. The Cavaliers played a good offense in this quarter, scoring 28 points in a single quarter, but their efficiency is obviously not as good as the Blazers.
After halftime, the score on the court was 74:49, and the Trail Blazers had a 25-point lead!
“Compared to Aldridge, who plays steadily and steadily, Jokic is like a fat catfish that is not slippery on the court. He plays with so much spirituality!”
“This white insider from Serbia can always make the most correct choice in the fastest time when various complicated situations on the field come.”
“It is no exaggeration to say that he successfully activated all the hidden offensive potential of the Trail Blazers!”
Entering the intermission, Kenny Smith began his professional analysis.
The Trail Blazers scored 74 points at halftime, which is quite an exaggerated score, directly breaking the first-half scoring record of the regular season opener since the establishment of the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers game last season gave people a balance of offense and defense, pursuing both offensive and defensive efficiency, and the game style is relatively stable.
After all, if their game style can be changed every three days, how can they be as stable as Mount Tai during the long 82 regular season games, and finally won a record-breaking 75 wins.
But looking at halftime in the new season, the Trail Blazers simplified their positional tactics and increased the speed and frequency of defensive counterattacks.
Although not as extreme as the Suns’ “running and bombing style” back then, the team’s offensive rounds have obviously increased.
The person who made this change happen is obviously the Blazers’ new power forward Nikola Jokic this season!
All kinds of past lives have proved that this white man from Serbia is very likely to be the best passing big man in the history of the NBA. Whether it is game reading ability or basketball IQ, he is the first in history.
When Jokic and Wang Zelin partnered, the hand-to-hand passes between the two after various pick-and-rolls became a beautiful landscape in this game, and it also made the Cavaliers hard to defend.
In fact, when Jokic and Wang Zelin partnered last season, they had already shown this potential.
When he replaced Wang Zelin as the team’s high-level beacon, the beast hidden deep in Wang Zelin’s heart was completely released. During that period, he directly transformed into a terrifying scoring machine, and his offensive efficiency was even more exaggerated than ever.
But at that time, the team’s power forward was still Aldridge, not Jokic, who was just doing a part-time job~www.mtlnovel.com~ So, Jokic’s sullen soul was not released, In terms of organization, this part is not as coquettish and agile as Wang Zelin’s impression.
However, the new season has established him as the team, and the next 82 long regular season games will basically be partnered with Wang Zelin. After half a month of team training and 7 preseason inspections, the coaching staff has completely established him. It is the team’s new inside pivot.
In this way, Wang Zelin has truly been completely released, and he can focus on offense and defense as much as he wants, instead of having to focus on offense, defense, and organization as in the past two seasons.
Although his physical fitness is definitely OJBK’s, but after playing for a long time, he can’t help feeling tired!
The team’s small changes in the new season, from the perspective of the first half, have achieved considerable results, making their offense simpler and more efficient.
At the same time, it also makes it easier for them to win!
Back from the intermission, Tyronn Lue finally let Hibbert play again, and the Trail Blazers immediately changed their thinking, and according to the strategy in the first quarter, they just grabbed his point to play.
Compared with the first half of the two sides’ play, the difference is that the Trail Blazers’ outside touch ushered in a big explosion in this quarter!
Lillard, Button, Batum, and even Wang Zelin couldn’t help but made two three-pointers.
A seven-foot center who is known for his dominance at the basket made two shots from the outside, how murderous!
Tyronn Lue saw that the situation was wrong and replaced Hibbert in advance, but it was too late.
In the third quarter alone, the Blazers scored 9 three-pointers!
After three quarters, they easily scored more than a hundred points. They led the Cavaliers by 34 points with 109:75! Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
