NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - Vol 2 Chapter 1010
In the game played on the same day, the Pacers defeated the 75ers 122:115 in overtime at home, giving the 75ers an eight-game losing streak at the start of the season.
For the Pacers, Jeff Teague scored 30 points, George contributed 28 points and 8 rebounds, and the two scored 9 points in overtime to win.
On the side of the 75ers, the most anticipated player is Joel Embiid, who has been injured for two years and has been nicknamed “Twitter King” by the way.
After announcing the season’s reimbursement for two consecutive seasons, Joel Embiid, who was the third pick in the 2014 draft, finally ushered in his NBA debut in the 2016-17 season.
It turned out that Embiid did live up to the two-year expectations of Philadelphia fans.
In the opening game of the 75ers, Embiid played 22 minutes as the starting center and scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks on 6 of 16 shots. His performance was quite impressive.
In the next seven games, although Embiid played and stopped, he still showed quite good immediate combat power.
In the second game against the Eagles, he played 15 minutes and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks;
In the third game against the Magic, he played 25 minutes and scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks;
In the fifth game against the Cavaliers, Embiid directly faced the active second center DeMarcus Cousins, played 25 minutes, made 7 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists efficiently 1 steal and 4 blocks.
The only fly in the ointment is that there were 6 turnovers, but from the perspective of a “rookie” player, Embiid’s performance is undoubtedly quite amazing.
It can be said that after this battle, Embiid succeeded in stepping on Cousins’ shoulders and was recognized by a large number of fans.
If it is said that the fans were pure ridicule and ridicule towards his “Twitter King” in the past two years, then after these few games, the word “Twitter” has been removed, leaving only the word “Twitter”.
Joel Embiid is the emperor in the hearts of the people of Philadelphia!
In this battle with the Pacers, although the 75ers regretted losing and it was hard to find a victory at the beginning of the season, Embiid’s performance was still quite conspicuous.
He played a total of 26 minutes in this game, setting a career high, and scored a double-double of 28 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and won the first double-double of his NBA career.
Although 5 turnovers in a single game may be eye-catching, but for the 75ers management and fans, Embiid completely convinced them with his performance every game.
Embiid seems to have become the new King of Philadelphia!
As for Jahlil Okafor, who performed well last season and averaged 17.5 seven rebounds per game, he has been ruthlessly abandoned by them.
So far in the new season, the small theater between the 75ers and Okafor is roughly as follows:
Philadelphia 75ers: “Okafor, you still don’t call in the future, I’m afraid Embiid will misunderstand.”
Okafor: “No~~~”
…
In addition to the game between the 75ers and the Pacers, there are still 9 games today.
In the New York Derby, the Nets came to Madison Square Garden to challenge the Knicks away. With Jeremy Lin injured, the Nets had to face back-to-back games.
Fortunately, Anthony chose to leave the team in the summer, and the Knicks were seriously injured. In the end, the Nets defeated the Knicks 110:96 in an away game to win the New York Derby.
The Bulls and Eagles are competing against each other.
In the end, the Bulls relied on the new Big Three combination of Rose, Wade, and Davis to easily kill the Eagles 115:101, ushering in a wave of 4 consecutive victories.
The team’s record rose to 7 wins and 2 losses, for the second place in the East, second only to the Cleveland Cavaliers with 8 wins and 1 loss.
That’s right, although it was two months later than Wang Zelin remembered, Wade finally left the Miami Heat, where he had played for 13 seasons, and chose to join his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls.
At the signing ceremony with the Bulls, Wade said he made the right choice this time.
This is the team he dreamed of in his boyhood, and this time he has fulfilled his boyhood dream.
Of course, Wade’s return home is not only caused by the fulfillment of his dream, otherwise he would have been able to wear the Bulls jersey a few years ago.
Although it was two months late, the reason why Wade left the team was exactly the same as that of Wang Zelin.
If the NBA team is regarded as a company, then there are two reasons why players choose to leave the team. One is that the money is not in place, and the other is that they feel wronged.
There is no doubt about Flash’s loyalty to the Heat. In the past thirteen years, he has devoted himself to this team and helped this team win three championship trophies. Wade didn’t feel the slightest bit of respect for the annual salary of 1.5 yuan.
Heat boss Mickey Arison is not short of money. He owns the largest yacht group in the world. His personal assets reached 7.2 billion yuan in 2016, ranking fourth among NBA bosses.
The top three are Clippers owner Ballmer, Blazers owner Paul Allen and Nets owner Prokhorov.
It’s just that people don’t want to give generously to Wade, the soul of the Heat!
In this way, Wade meets all the above two points.
Since the Heat are not respected, and the team is not strong enough to win the championship, it is better to return to the hometown team to play for a dream in the New Year era.
The Bulls showed great respect for Wade, and not only offered a two-year contract worth 47.5 million yuan, but the second year was a player option.
Lang is affectionate, concubine is interested, Flash Wade quickly chose to return to his hometown team, and formed a new Big Three with Ross and Davis, two young talents.
Don’t look at Wade is already 34, but he can still contribute an all-around data of 19+4+4+1 per game last season, and he has already proved himself in various big scenes.
During the playoffs last season, Wade’s statistics in all aspects have increased, averaging 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage has also risen to 46.9%!
Whether it is Davis or Rose, strong is strong, but strictly speaking, neither has seen a real big scene, and relatively lacks experience on the top stage.
Now, with the arrival of the legendary veteran “Flash” Dwyane Wade, who holds three championship rings, FMVP in 2006, and scoring champion in 10 years, it just makes up for the last shortcoming of the Bulls and makes the Bulls new. The paper strength of the season jumped to the top of the Eastern Conference.
The strong performance after the start of the season has made the Bulls’ chances of winning the championship continue to rise. Compared with the Cavaliers, the two teams are already the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
As the second strong team in the East, the “King of the North” Raptors came to the west today to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Since the start of the regular season, the Thunder has a record of 6 wins and 2 losses, which is quite impressive. However, the Raptors regrettably lost to the Kings in their last home game. This game is destined to be a fierce battle.
In the end, the Raptors relied on their star, DeRozan, to show off and score 37 points to help the team beat the Thunder 112:102.
In addition to the Pacers, Bulls, Cavaliers, and Raptors, which are recognized as strong teams in the East, there is another new force in the East this season.
That’s…the Boston Celtics!
So far in the new season, if you want to pick out a dark polo team from the east and the west, the west is none other than the Thunder, and the east is the first to promote the Celtics, one of the two traditional powerhouses in the NBA.
This summer Durant, Anthony, Wade and other big fish left the team one after another, which turned the trading market upside down, and there was a pool of muddy water everywhere, which led the Celtics to pick a talented rookie Ingram in the draft. After that, there is no big news now.
As everyone knows, the Celtics are the representatives of making a fortune in the trading market this summer.
The Celtics have strengthened through a series of transactions. In the new season, Thomas Jr. + CJ McCallum’s double guns in the backcourt have been formed. On the front line, there are talented small forwards Ingram and blue-collar veteran Amir Johnson. Al Horford, who seems to have mediocre statistics but is actually a “ball blind evaluator”, is in charge.
Unknowingly, the Celtics have formed a fairly sharp starting lineup, with offense and defense, and defense and defense.
In addition, they have this huge bench of gangsters, such as Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk, Gerald Green, Terry Rozier, Taylor Zeller …
One of the above players counts as one, and all of them are high-quality puzzles.
From the main force to the rotation, the Celtics can be called strong and strong. No wonder they can suddenly emerge in the new season.
On the 10th, the Celtics ushered in the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks, one of the traditional powerhouses in the West, at home. The starting center Horford took a break in this game, and the situation was not good for the Celtics.
I thought it would be a spark hitting the earth, but unexpectedly the game was completely defeated by the Celtics in only three and a half quarters.
The leader of the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas, played 33 minutes, made 3 of 5 three-pointers, scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the team to the 100:83 final with ease.
The rest of the teammates performed well. CJ McCollum had 18 points and 3 assists, Olynik had 12 points and 4 rebounds, talented rookie Ingram had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Amir Johnson had 7 points and 7 rebounds.
After this battle, the Celtics’ record came to 5 wins and 4 losses, entering the top six in the Eastern Conference.
With the addition of the Celtics, a new force, there are a total of five new and old forces in the East this year.
It seems that the media still underestimated the competitiveness of the East a bit too much.
In addition to these teams, there are also several games worthy of attention in the West.
The first is the strong dialogue where the Houston Mosaic challenged the San Antonio Spurs away.
The game was extremely stalemate, and the point difference was not stretched beyond 5 points. From the beginning to the end, there were more than 10 alternate leads.
At the decisive point, with one and a half minutes left in the game, Mosaic led by 4 points, and then Harden went to the basket and caused veteran Ginobili to foul, but he actually missed two free throws.
But then, a more dramatic scene happened, and the Spurs did not seize the opportunity. After Leonard missed the buzzer, the game ended, and the Spurs lost 99:101 to Mosaic at home.
Harden played 41 minutes tonight and scored a large triple-double with 24 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds. He scored a triple-double for the 10th time in his career.
In addition, after this campaign, Harden assisted in double figures in 5 consecutive games, and he became the first mosaic player to do this after Slippe Floyd.
In 1990 of the last century, when Floyd played for the Mosaic team, he had 5 assists in double figures.
For the Mosaic team, in addition to Harden, Melon was also fully fired, scoring 38 points and 7 rebounds efficiently in 35 minutes of playing, 5 of which came from Harden’s direct assists.
The mosaic double guns shined, making the Spurs nervous all night at home, and finally witnessed the home team’s bitter defeat!
Among the role players, Birdman Anderson scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, Capela scored 12 points and 10 rebounds, Ronden contributed 15 points off the bench, and Decker scored 10 points and 7 rebounds.
On the Spurs side, the robot Leonard scored 34 points and 7 rebounds, and his performance was impeccable. Love is in a mediocre state today, with only 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
The main reason why the Spurs lost is that the performance of the internal and external dual-core combination is not as good as the mosaic double guns tonight.
It is worth mentioning that Ginobili scored 8 points and 3 assists tonight, passing the 13,000-point mark in his career, setting a career milestone.
But considering that the Spurs lost this time, it should be changed and called the mileage “sad”.
Cosmos Yong also has a game today, and the Detroit Pistons challenged at home.
Pistons star Andre Drummond, Wang Zelin and Lillard also made their debut in the 2012 draft. After four years of rookie contract, he has fulfilled his talent, and now he has grown to be second only to Wang Zelin and Cousin. Smith’s third active center.
It is worthy of the 5-year 130 million maximum salary contract offered by the Pistons.
The Western Conference finals in the past two years have made everyone see the biggest shortcoming of the Warriors, that is, the lack of internal strength.
Therefore, even if the Pistons know that they have a high probability of not being able to beat the Warriors, they probably put their last chance on Drummond, expecting him to play the demeanor of the third active center.
As a well-known rebounding idiot in active service, if Drummond hadn’t met Wang Zelin, he might have already won the rebounding champion.
It’s a pity that it is exactly the old saying, if you are born Yu, you will be born bright.
Under the light of Wang Zelin, Drummond can only condescend to second place in the rebounding list in a single season for several consecutive years.
However, Drummond’s opponent tonight is the relatively weak Golden State Warriors at the center position, and he exploded the Warriors’ penalty area as expected.
In the first 42 minutes of the game, he played almost the entire game, made 9 of 19 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 22 points and grabbed 25 rebounds!
Emmm, there are more rebounds than points, there should be no active player except Drummond, a rebounding idiot~www.mtlnovel.com~.
At the same time, Drummond’s 25 rebounds in a single game also set a record for the most rebounds in a single game since the beginning of the season.
The previous record holder was Wang Zelin’s 22 rebounds in a single game against the Kings!
Drummond played enough tonight, but the rest of the Pistons were blown away by the Warriors.
For the Warriors, Curry had 24 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds, Thompson had 20 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists, Durant had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Green had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists…
The Big Four soared into 16 three-pointers, scored 88 points in the whole game, and blasted their opponents to pieces!
In the end, the Warriors beat the Pistons 126:95 at home, and the team’s record came to 8 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the Western Conference, second only to the Trail Blazers who started the season with 9 wins and 0 losses!
