NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - Vol 2 Chapter 1040

When this sentence, which may be the most classic trash talk in NBA history, came to his ears, Embiid got up from the floor panting, looked up at Wang Zelin’s back, and his face was full of unwillingness.

He overestimated his physical confrontation by a hundred million points, and underestimated Wang Zelin’s tonnage and strength too much. He was hit hard just now, and his whole chest was aching and numb, and he needed to take a good rest.

In the next half quarter or so, Embiid did not have a one-on-one duel with Wang Zelin, but used more tactics to seek open shots.

Not to mention, Embiid’s golf quotient is indeed very high, he is very hardworking, and has super self-learning ability. This point from when he first arrived in the United States, he gradually learned English by listening to English songs every day, which shows how strong his talent is.

On the offensive end, Embiid can score in different ways, singles with the ball, pick-and-roll finishes, post-up singles, and off-the-ball abilities. Traditional center forwards can do everything.

Including the long-range shooting ability that complies with the development of the times, he also has it.

Especially the pick-and-roll finishing and off-the-ball ability, at least before Ben Simmons took over the 75ers’ possession, Embiid actually practiced these two abilities in a decent way.

It’s a pity, who let him partner with a big man whose long-range shooting ability is about 0 on the outside, once he and Simmons play a pick-and-roll, a fool will know who to guard.

So you can’t blame Embiid for becoming less and less fond of playing pick-and-rolls. If you and Simon talk about partners, maybe you are not as good as him.

So much so that when Harden went to Philadelphia to partner with Embiid, many people were still worried: These two guys used to be the type to do it with the ball. Will they play the traditional pick-and-roll cooperation between the guard and the center? ?

The fact is that after Harden came to the 75ers, the team’s biggest offense was the pick-and-roll tactics of Harden and Embiid.

In the first game when the two started at the same time, after Harden and Embiid picked and rolled, Embiid received a pass back and was obviously unguarded three meters away, but still froze for several seconds.

Poor baby, the previous few seasons of partnering with Simmons were really miserable. Embiid must have despaired in his heart. He didn’t expect that he would be emptied one day on the court. No wonder he would appear in that game. Feel uncomfortable with the large number of open opportunities.

At the same time, due to technical characteristics, Simmons needs a lot of attacks to the basket to maximize his value on the field, which further squeezes Embiid’s offensive space under the basket, causing Embiid’s future offensive distance to become more and more outside. , The offensive methods are becoming more and more like defenders.

In the first half of the first quarter, Embiid played a pick-and-roll for the team’s point guard forward, and then quickly went down to catch the ball to complete the end, and finished the end with his off-ball running and receiving the ball. In the first direct conversation with the No. 1 player in active service, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in half a quarter.

How can such an all-around great Embiid not make Philadelphia fans crazy?

However, Wang Zelin was a little disappointed, because he didn’t expect Embiid to get his heart so soon, and kept avoiding himself.

Since people don’t cooperate, he can’t insist on it, how boring!

So Wang Zelin did not attack with a lot of balls, and handed over the ball to Lillard and Jokic, switching to the off-ball mode exactly the same as Embiid.

In the off-ball mode, Wang Zelin also possesses the offensive skills Embiid has shown, and his technical maturity and offensive threat are far above Embiid.

This made Embiid very depressed. Whether he had the ball or not, he was blasted by Wang Zelin all over the place.

However, the naturally optimistic Emperor quickly figured it out and convinced himself in his heart.

After all, you, Wang Zelin, have played a few years longer than me, so it’s normal that I’m not as good as you now.

Don’t bully young people and be poor, let’s see how I beat you three years later!

In the 7th minute, the main players of both sides were temporarily off the field and replaced by a substitute lineup.

At the end of the first quarter, at 34:23, the Blazers led the 75ers by 11 points!

This quarter of the game seems to bring Philadelphia fans back to a few years ago, to the time when they only played a dozen games in a whole season.

In fact, the starting performance of the 75ers was worse than what the score reflected. The only players who contributed positive value on the field were Embiid and Covington, who contributed 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in 7 minutes. The positive and negative values ​​of the three starting games are all negative, which is equivalent to holding back.

If it weren’t for the No. 9 rookie Dario Saric on the bench who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, he is in a brave state and scored several heroic goals one after another. The point difference would definitely be more than 11 points!

For Wang Zelin, with the same playing time, his statistics surrounded Embiid in all aspects, scoring 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal!

Facing Wang Zelin like this, NBA agent Michael Taylor could only shake his head helplessly, and said with emotion: “Your uncle is still your uncle!”

During the break between festivals, Wang Zelin specifically told Harrell and Zubac: “Pay more attention to the No. 9 of the 75ers later, and get on your body when you need it.”

The boss spoke, and Harrell and Zubac immediately looked fierce. The second quarter was to show Sharic a good look.

Two minutes later, the game entered the second quarter.

During the intermission, he was given two cups of chicken soup by the coach and the agent. Embiid suddenly felt that the sky was sunny, the rain stopped, and he seemed to be doing well again.

75 attack.

Embiid started to take a low position on the left wing, and wanted to start a one-on-one real-man battle with Wang Zelin.

But Wang will not easily let Embiid occupy the position, and immediately puts a strong confrontation on the back defense.

His low-post defense is not just a confrontation of absolute strength, but also mixed with harassment by small movements that the referee cannot see.

The huge confrontational force is like a wave, which may be topped or unloaded, or virtual or real, one wave after another, coupled with endless small movements, making Embiid feel pain and numbness in his back, very uncomfortable.

This is the first time Embiid has faced such a strong defense in the new season. When he played Dabaibian and Old Warcraft, he had never been so defended, which made him mistakenly think that the current top center in the league is nothing more than that.

I don’t know whether it is Wang Zelin who is too good, or the former opponent is too bad.

“Why are you so strong?”

Now that Embiid hasn’t received the ball yet, naturally he can’t steal chickens and play some turnaround jumpers like before. He can only wrestle with Wang Zelin constantly, and he is surprised again and again during the period.

Facing the No. 1 player in active service, is it so difficult to hold a position just once?

He found that his strength was useless at all, and when he was defending with all his strength, he would be removed suddenly, but when he was not carrying it, the strength on the top suddenly increased, making him in a dilemma.

In other words, Wang Zelin saw him thoroughly and predicted his prediction in advance.

“It’s been a long time since the boss is so serious?”

Jokic on the right has also been paying attention. He was very surprised to see Wang Zelin’s top defense here.

At this moment, Embiid was pointing to the sky while exerting force to carry it hard, trying to use his strength to complete the turn around lob, Wang Zelin suddenly retreated, Embiid’s upper body leaned back, and his feet did not keep up. Dropped an **** mound.

“oh!”

The Philadelphia fans exclaimed.

“Young man, the idea is very good, but the experience is a bit lacking.”

Wang Zelin moved his lips and looked at Embiid with a half-smile.

Embiid deserves to be a well-known Internet troll, and his psychological quality is really strong. Even if he was pulled down, he didn’t have any expression on his face. He got up and left the paint. bit.

Wang Zelin took a step and didn’t go up to defend again, and he couldn’t drive Embiid too far, so that he would not be able to return to the basket in time when he followed.

Although it took a step, it was just an arm’s length away, within reach, and the defense against Embiid was still extremely tight.

At this time, Covington borrowed the cover of his teammates from the top of the arc to break through with the ball. With a height of 2.08 meters, he had a certain size advantage against Batum. He strode into the paint with a meteor.

With Covington’s breakthrough, Wang Zelin was forced to take a step back to the basket. He faced up and stared at Covington who came in, and at the same time looked at Embiid.

Covington is a model of counterattack through hard work, dedication and commitment. His improvement on both ends of the offense and defense over the years has made him one of the most versatile and efficient players in the league. A player who gave Embiid some help.

“Cha!”

Covington is very clever. Seeing Wang Zelin play back the basket, he will not attack the basket by force, but suddenly stop two steps away from the basket.

“Beautiful thinking!”

Prepared for a long time, Wang Zelin immediately exerted force on his feet and rushed over.

“Shoot? Or pass?”

Zhang Lili became nervous.

As he rushed up, Covington noticed Embiid moving to the paint out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Covington made a choice. First, he raised one foot to make a dry gesture, but the other foot remained motionless. He retracted the ball, flicked his wrist at the same time, and stuffed the ball towards the basket.

He originally wanted to be alone, but Wang Zelin’s reputation on the defensive end forced him to switch to a pass. Before passing the ball, he did not forget to make a fake shot, trying to delay Wang Zelin for Embiid.

“It’s a pass! Be careful!”

Zhang Lili shouted anxiously.

Then Embiid entered the paint and sprinted south, keeping his eyes on the ball from Covingdon.

The next moment, Wang Zelin hurriedly stepped on the brakes, squeaked under his feet, turned around urgently, and rushed back to the basket in two steps. At this moment, Embiid took off to catch the ball with both hands, and took advantage of the situation to lock the brakes. past.

“Snapped!”

Embiid just hit Wang Zelin’s hand with a ball and was capped again.

“Oh, no!”

His own super champion was capped for the second time.

“Good shot! Zelling, play him!”

Zhang Lili roared excitedly.

Embiid lands, the ball lands on his head, he gets it, and the game continues.

“here.”

Covington’s voice sounded, and a figure appeared behind Wang Zelin directly in front of the basket.

Embiid hurriedly passed the ball, but Wang Zelin, who was sandwiched between the two, reacted super fast, and slapped down casually, which happened to hit the ball, and then the rebound was caught by him with both hands, completing a steal.

“The king steals it! Lillard and Batum are playing fast, and the king is passing the ball…” Ke Fan shouted excitedly.

Lillard received the ball, slowed down, delayed McConnell for a while, and then dropped the ball to the basket. Batum came out from the right side, jumped high to catch the ball and completed an alley dunk.

At 36:23, the Blazers led by 13 points.

In the next round, just when Wang Zelin thought that Embiid would continue to challenge himself, he found that Embiid had switched to the off-ball mode again. Taking advantage of his inattention, he pulled back to the three-point line, received a pass from his teammate and hit an open three-pointer .

At 26:36, the point difference was still 10 points.

For a while, Wang Zelin was a little dumbfounded.

How is this different from the Embiid you saw on his previous game tape?

Don’t forget that you are the Emperor of Philadelphia, you are stunned!

You used to be so ruthless when you played the inside line of other teams, how did you find me and immediately become so sincere?

To put it bluntly, Embiid’s tactical play is flexible and changeable, and Wei Junjie, the westerner!

But to put it bluntly, he is a bullying type!

Emmm, it fits the perception of Embiid’s game by some fans and media teams in the previous life.

But I have to say that when facing an opponent who is far stronger than himself, adopting such an offensive strategy can indeed ensure that Embiid can obtain a relatively decent data on the court.

After halftime, Embiid played 15 minutes, and his personal data came to 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, which looked quite gorgeous and comprehensive.

If this is to play the whole game, can’t it be 20+10+5?

It’s just that the efficiency is a little bit worse. He made 4 of 11 field goals and 1 of 3 three-pointers. Fortunately, he had a home bonus and made 4 of 7 free throws.

After half the game, Wang Zelin saw one thing clearly. Embiid is different from his previous opponents. It is difficult for him to easily suppress him like Howard, Jordan, and Drummond in the past.

Talent, technology, and mentality, these three elements can often determine how far a player can go in the cruel NBA world, and determine the upper limit of his career.

Looking back at past opponents, Howard, Jordan Jr., Drummond and Whiteside, they all belong to the inside line with obvious shortcomings, either lacking skills or insufficient talent.

Among the center players who faced him, Cousins ​​has the strongest scoring ability and the most comprehensive offensive methods, but Cousins ​​also has his own shortcomings.

After all, when it comes to the mindless and unhappy in the NBA, no matter how the fans discuss it, Bynum, McGee, and Cousins ​​are definitely on the list.

They have talent and skills, but their mental insufficiency hinders their development. Like the “brainless and unhappy” in the animation, they will create a series of dumbfounding farces on and off the court from time to time.

It is precisely because the previous opponents have their own shortcomings. In this way, Wang Zelin can change the game strategy according to the opponent’s difference, and then achieve the goal of blowing up the opponent in the shortest time.

Embiid is completely different from his previous opponents. This guy is too mature, regardless of his looks or his skills. At the same time, he also has a good talent and a glib mouth.

Although this kid is a little immature now, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has all three major elements of talent, technology, and mentality in him. It is destined that even if this game is blown up by Wang Zelin, it will not affect him. development of.

For such an opponent, just one night of training is far from enough.

Maybe with the stimulation of a powerful opponent, Embiid’s growth rate will far exceed that of his previous life.

However, this does not mean that Wang Zelin will give up the training of rookie Embiid.

On the contrary, such a super potential stock is really worthy of Wang’s attention and expectation, because once the training is successful, the sense of satisfaction will never be compared with others.

It seems that it is necessary for him to put Embiid on his long-term training list.

That being the case, let him deepen the initial impression of the two in the second half while the game is just over half.

From the very beginning of his first training, he wanted to make the Philadelphia King deeply realize one thing:

Everything in the alliance is yours if I give it to you; if I don’t give it to you, you can’t **** it!
