NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Under the pressure of the sky, the Lakers played against the Clippers in the same city at home on November 3.

The little brother, who used to look down on him, has turned from a small broken ship into a city of empty connections since he took the helm of the captain, Chris Paul, last season.

Now the Clippers, with Paul, Griffin, and Jordan as the core, are no longer under Amon, and last season they broke into the fifth place in the Western Conference.

This season, there seems to be a problem with Big Brother. For the first time, the Clippers saw a great opportunity to "usurp power".

For both sides, this game is of great significance.

Unfortunately, without Steve Nash's Lakers, the offense has no rules. Kobe Bryant played very hard, but he couldn't connect the team.

Let's look at the Clippers again. With Captain Paul's 15 assists in series, the team has 5 points in double figures.

The rotation core Ke Lao Liu was even more hilarious. He scored a team-high 21 points, plus 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 assist. It can be said that he single-handedly defeated the Lakers with a significantly thicker bench.

In this game, Kobe played 43 minutes, 14 of 23 three-pointers, 2 of 2-free throws, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 40 points with a 60% hit rate comparable to the top insiders, but he still failed to recover. downturn.

The Lakers lost three straight!

This time, what the Lakers face is no longer yin and yang, but direct, undisguised, naked ridicule!

The major mainstream media have launched special programs of similar nature one after another, and the titles are also very heart-wrenching.

"When will the Lakers have a win this season? 》

None of this has much to do with the Blazers. Everyone ate melons all night, and they were full for a while.

Tomorrow night, the team will go to Sacramento to challenge the Pacific Kings.

When it comes to the king, one has to admire the brain circuits of the management.

Originally, a fairy-level rookie Tyreke Evans was selected in the 2009 draft, and he could score an average of 20+5+5 per game when he debuted, which is not inferior to the "little emperor" James who just debuted in 2003.

Moreover, Evans's style of play and characteristics have also earned him the nickname of "Point Guard James".

The physical fitness is great, the style of play is arrogant, the impact is strong, the confidence is full, the passing is first-class, the young and old... Coupled with the height of 198, it is a proper bug to be placed in the No. 1 position.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Kings have taken a super **** luck and directly selected a team building cornerstone. The next thing they have to do is to use Evans as the core to create a competitive lineup and the road to revival. Just around the corner.

However, the management of the king, who thought he was in the atmosphere, did some inexplicable tricks.

What kind of brain circuit would make a 4th rookie in NBA history play a supernova with an average of 20+5+5 per game in his rookie season, and then go to play shooting guard in his second year?

In the third year, it was even more outrageous, swaying directly to the position of small forward...

The king's miraculous operation personally destroyed a super genius who was not inferior to Big O, Jordan, and LeBron.

No matter which team in the league is facing the leading point guard, Evans in his rookie year can play as good as the opponent, and even outperform most of the time.

The most impressive thing is that when he played against college senior Derrick Rose for the first time, Evans easily handed over a transcript of 20 points and 4 rebounds, while the opponent Rose was 2 of 12 and relied on free throws. Scored in double digits.

Different from the 2003 No. 2 Milicic, 07 No. 1 pick Oden and others who have been regretting in the hearts of fans, Evans has already played and proved his dominance over the No. 1 position in the first year.

It is now the fourth year of Evans' career. Although he still averaged 16.5 + 4.6 rebounds + 4.5 assists + 1.3 steals per game last season, everyone knows that this talented man has completely lost With all the spirituality in the past, the previously unknown upper limit has been severely slashed.

At that time, the new core of the Kings was "cousin" DeMarcus Cousins, who was selected fifth overall in the 2010 draft.

In the original history, the famous test god, after Howard abdicated due to injury, became the new top center of the league with his explosive performance.

Last season, Cousins ​​averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds per game in 30 minutes of playing time. Whether it is scoring rebounds or shooting percentages, all aspects of the data have increased compared to his rookie year.

Only the performance of 4 fouls per game remained unchanged.

Cousins ​​is now also known as the top seed of the new generation of centers, and Wang Zelin scored 18+11 in the first game of his career... It's a bit of a coincidence to match the former's average per game last season. .

After the Trail Blazers gave the Lakers a two-game losing streak, Wang Zelin, the starting center, could still contribute around 18+11 when he played against Howard, the league's top center. This kind of performance made many people talk about it.

Although Wang Zelin was also very popular before, but more because of his identity as a player of the Celestial Dynasty, but now it is different from the past. This time, he has been recognized by his own strength.

Before the game, the game between the Kings and the Trail Blazers was also known as the duel between the new generation of potential centers.

Cousins ​​is undoubtedly the strongest competitor for Wang Zelin to become the top center in the league. For this battle, he has been preparing...

But when he came to the Sleep Train Arena, the home of the Kings, he suddenly discovered that he could actually ignore Cousins ​​at all.

Because people can't play at all, Cousins' indefinite suspension is not over yet!

This has to be traced back to a game in the preseason. Cousins ​​had a farce due to friction with the team's coaching staff, which led to the former being directly suspended by the Kings indefinitely.

However, everyone knows that the so-called "indefinite ban" is just talk~www.NovelMTL.com~ When Cousins, the big-headed doll, publicly apologizes, the king can announce the lifting of the ban.

During the warm-up period, looking at Cousins ​​in a suit and leather shoes, sitting at the end of the bench, Wang Zelin shook his head a little shyly.

Cousins' physical talent and interior skills are unique among rookie centers in recent years.

Although sometimes I can't control my mind, but as there are fewer and fewer traditional centers in the league now, there are already some inconsistencies. The appearance of Cousins ​​is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the traditional centers.

It's a pity that this guy's skills are a bit too good. In his previous life, he could play steadily and steadily in the interior as a crab, but he liked to play the guard style and always dribbled the ball to break through from the outside.

With his tonnage and size, it's no wonder that this style of play doesn't hurt.

At 8:00 p.m. on the 4th, the game between the Blazers and the Kings officially started.

The opponent was originally a rebuilding team, but the core of the team was still a giant baby, and half of the team's martial arts was successfully discarded. The result can be imagined...

The Kings were hanged and beaten the whole time, and there was no room for them to fight back.

In this game, Lillard felt hot and shot 7 of 10 from the field, including 5 of 6 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring a team-high 22 points.

Ade's performance was average today, scoring 16 points with 6 of 14 and 4 of 4 free throws.

Wang Zelin scored 17 points and 10 rebounds, bringing his average per game to 18+10.

As for Evans, this game only made 4 of 8 shots and scored 10 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound.

The man who once stood shoulder to shoulder with rookie James is gone forever.

In the fourth quarter, the Kings were unwilling to fight, and the Blazers maintained a 15-point advantage, and finally won 103:86.
