Come back.
Trail Blazers Lillard soared into a three-pointer.
Return color!
Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball unhurriedly from the backcourt and leaned back close to the three-point line, and Harden suddenly became active.
Matthews didn't expect Harden to be so active. Isn't this guy's job just to get the ball?
But his reaction was still timely enough, and he immediately turned around and ran towards Harden...
Then the next second, Mosaic power forward Asik stood in front of him expressionlessly.
Matthews was blocked by Asik. Harden, who was positioned outside the three-point line, caught the ball and shot directly, very decisively!
It can be seen that this is Harden's off-ball movement tactic on the offensive end. Mosaic caught the Trail Blazers off guard, but next time, they would not be so lucky.
Harden took the shot calmly, Asik's pick-and-roll quality was so good, and Matthews failed to get through the screen.
Harden did not waste this precious opportunity. He raised the knife and hit the net with a three-pointer! Houston Toyota Center cheered!
"The ball went in. James scored his fourth three-pointer tonight. His touch was so hot! He is definitely one of the most potential shooting guards in the league!"
"Old Cat" Mobley praised the bearded man very much, but not everyone can be like Harden, who can carry the team forward when the team is in trouble.
There is no doubt that Harden used two key three-pointers to seal the score difference. He did it!
"My mine!"
Matthews raised his hands and shook his head apologetically at his teammates.
He really didn't expect Harden to suddenly make a move without the ball, otherwise his reaction speed would be faster.
"It doesn't matter, we are still ahead! We will come back later when we find an opportunity." Wang Zelin's words made everyone feel at ease.
Yes, they are still ahead, and Mosaic is the one who is eager to chase points.
However, Harden's consecutive three-pointers dispelled the arrogance of the Trail Blazers players due to their big lead. In the next game, they will be more serious about every offense and defense.
Switch to the Blazers' offense.
It can be seen from Lillard's meticulous organization that the Blazers' offensive rhythm has not changed due to the opponent's continuous scoring.
In the new season, they have become more and more calm, gradually showing that only a strong team has the temperament, unlike last season, they still felt a bit like a "nouveau riche".
Seeing this, Zhang Lili nodded silently.
When you are at a disadvantage, you definitely need to stay calm, which is conducive to making the right choice; but when you are at an advantage, being not arrogant or impatient sometimes becomes even more precious.
A basketball game lasts 48 minutes, and no one dares to claim victory until the last minute; a season has 82 regular season games and several playoff games, which is a marathon contest.
Therefore, it is really important to maintain a good attitude at all times!
As soon as Lillard approached the three-point line, Batum suddenly made a reverse run and cut towards the basket!
Chandler probably didn't expect Batum to run back so fast. He just turned around and found that Batum had already run several steps away.
This guy seems...angry?
"Nicolas Batum ran back and cut in, he was super fast, he wanted...oh, Lillard actually passed the ball in, the timing was just right!"
Lillard found Batum in the gap and put the ball into the latter's hands.
In a basketball game, every score is the result of collaboration between multiple parties.
For example, in the reverse running cut in front of you, it does not mean that someone on the offensive side will get a chance to score after a successful cut. You still have to see whether the organizer can deliver the ball in time.
And just now, Lillard undoubtedly showed his organizational talents.
Lillard is indispensable to the reason why the Trail Blazers are becoming stronger and stronger.
In a fleeting time, Lillard passed the ball to Batum. No one expected that the ball could be passed so fast and so accurately.
So much so that when Batum reached the penalty area with the ball, Howard didn't even react.
What happened to your kidney?
In the blink of an eye, how come the ball was in Batum's hands?
Time waits for me!
Howard quickly stepped forward and raised his arms, intending to prevent Batum from making a layup.
However, the next second, Batum ignored the Mosaic team No. 12 standing in front of him, ignored what everyone said was the strongest active center, and went straight to his feet!
Howard under the basket only saw Batum, as if there were springs on his feet, breaking away from gravity in an instant and rushing up.
He screamed in his heart that it was terrible, but it was too late to avoid the bad luck.
Then, Batum and Howard collided hard.
Although Howard raised his arms high, Astro Boy still smashed the ball into the basket through his opponent.
At this moment, the entire Toyota Center Arena seemed to have been equipped with a muffler. It was silent for about a second, and then a volcano erupted!
"Dunk! Howard suffered an inhumane dunk! The French Pippen Batum of the Trail Blazers completely ignored Howard's height. He completely ignored the guardian angel of the Mosaic penalty area! This dunk is fully qualified. Selected as one of the top ten dunks of the season!"
Batum let go, landed from the basket, and then glanced up at Howard, who was silent.
Batum felt so happy!
He avenged Matthews' previous attack.
"You're next, Bearded. I haven't forgotten that three-pointer just now!"
After dunking Howard, Batum pointed to Harden not far away.
Anyone who insults my brother is no different from insulting me!
Everyone knows that the French are very romantic, but little does anyone know that they are also very vindictive.
Howard felt so much hatred in his heart!
He hated Batum for ruthlessly dunking him, but what he hated even more was the extremely poor defense on the outside.
If it weren't for their poor defense, how could I have been a backdrop for the French!
The Mosaics reorganized their offense.
This time they wanted to repeat their old tricks, but the Trail Blazers could only let them do so. Matthews and Batum quickly completed the defense change, destroying the opponent's tactics.
However, Harden is the seed of the future super giant after all. He found that the shooting space was limited and decisively changed his shooting to sudden shooting.
After taking a few steps forward, Harden was double-teamed.
This is the time to test your ability to break double teams.
Facing the arrogant Batum and Aldridge, Harder calmly hit the ground and passed!
The basketball passed through the gap between the two, bounced off the ground, and was passed to Asik!
If there are double teams, there will naturally be openings. This is an eternal law on the basketball court.
Aldridge came out to double-team Harden, and Asik, who was sitting under the basket waiting to eat the pie, got the best offensive opportunity.
The Turks are so happy that they want to eat cakes!
This is one of his few scoring abilities, but opportunities are not always available.
As a blue-collar player, he finally got a chance to score a dunk, how could he let it go so easily?
The Turk took a big step forward with all his strength, ready to remove it.
At this time, all he could see was the basket!
Seeing that the basket was getting closer and closer to him, Asik was eager to use his hands, but just when he was about to exert force, he saw a hand lying between the basketball and the basket.
"???"
Asik is a little confused. Isn't it an unguarded basket?
Wait, the guy holding out his hand seems to be wearing the No. 36 jersey, right?
Was there any mistake?
What's Dwight doing?
Where is your card slot?
"Snapped!"
There was a slap sound, and Asik was shocked to find that his ball was gone!
"oh!!!"
This catch immediately caused a sensation in the audience, and the wave of exclaims was endless.
"The King's signature hat-grab in the air!"
At this moment, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"This, this, this... is a really good shot!"
Drexler explained reluctantly, but in his heart he was secretly cursing the Mosaic players for not living up to expectations.
"Haha! The king's cap grab was so shocking! Omega Asik was completely confused and even forgot to return to defense!"
Yang Yi laughed.
This catch also completely killed Asik's fighting spirit.
After a few minutes of the second quarter, the point difference was already 15 points. Harden, who had been chasing points like crazy, was like a farce on the clown.
His efforts are as admirable as they are hilarious to watch.
Wang Zelin only played 16 minutes, making 7 of 7 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 17 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist, and 2 fouls.
Efficiency ranks first in the field!
At the beginning of the third quarter, Howard did not play and sat on the bench in a daze.
He was blocked three times by Wang Zelin. It can be said that for Wang Zelin's blocking data to be so luxurious, Howard's contribution is the greatest.
There was no way he could hit the inside line. Facing Wang Zelin's one-on-one defense, Howard played like a headless fly. For a proud and arrogant man, this was intolerable and he was in an extremely bad mood.
After sitting for almost half a quarter, the scoreboard showed 75:55, and the score difference reached 20 points. To be exaggerated, the game had entered garbage time.
Beep~~~
Mosaic coach Mike Hale called a timeout, and the entire audience was looking forward to his next tactical arrangement.
However, what ushered in was the attack of all the main forces.
Is this...surrender?
On the other side, all the Blazers were stunned.
Could it be that he struck too hard and that the Mosaic team's confidence in counterattack was wiped out.
"..."
Seeing this scene, countless Mosaic players suddenly felt that they had been cheated.
This is what the management calls the unstoppable "OK combination" of the new era...
Damn it, refund your money!
There were boos all around, and there was no need to say much about the person he was given.
After a few more rounds, the score difference between the two sides became even worse. After coach Terry Stotts determined that his opponent was sincerely surrendering, he took advantage of the official timeout to replace all the main players and put in a substitute lineup.
At this moment, Howard did not play according to McHale's routine and insisted on playing.
Seeing that he was so active, McHale broke the rules, threw away the tactical board, and rarely took care of it.
When the Mosaic fans who had not left the game saw Howard re-entering the field, ten thousand alpacas flew past in their hearts.
Li Zai Gan is the devil?
Seeing Howard on the court, Wang Zelin spit out a mouthful of Gatorade, messing up Terry Stotts' tactical board.
"...Ahem, coach, I didn't mean it."
Wang Zelin explained quickly.
I never expected that Howard would be so shameless and come out to score points in his spare time.
After playing for a few minutes, everyone witnessed with their own eyes the process of Howard bullying the substitute players. This guy was also rude. He saw that the player who was defending him turned into Adams, and he continued to eat the opponent with his body.
Scholars can endure it, but who can’t?
At 7 minutes and 51 seconds into the third quarter, Howard's data column changed to 22 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. Terry Stotts was so angry!
Even the Mosaic fans on the side couldn't stand it.
Beep~~~
The Trail Blazers called a timeout.
"King, come on! Do you understand?"
Seeing Adams looking like he was about to cry, Terry Stotts gritted his teeth and said.
"Roger that! Sir!"
Wang Zelin stood up and roared.
Mosaics bench.
Seeing that his data was about to reach 20+10, Howard tasted Gatorade happily. He didn't realize that the eyes of the people around him started to look weird when they saw him.
Maybe he had discovered it a long time ago, but so what?
Since seeking victory is fruitless, why not strive for good data!
After all, the NBA is also a league that depends on data.
Players with good statistics are always easy to get big contracts.
"Give me the ball in a moment, and you can just pull away!"
Howard smugly shouted to the bench players that he had foreseen that he was about to hit double figures in rebounds...
Until, he discovered that the opponent had changed back to Trail Blazers No. 36.
Attacking in front of the frame, Wang Zelin carefully studied Howard's face. It wasn't until Howard got angry that he shook his head gently and said, "I just realized that I was wrong! It's a shame that I thought you were my only opponent before, but now It seems that you are a thing of the past! You and I are no longer players at the same level, no, you are no longer worthy of being my opponent!"
"You! Fart!"
Howard was pushing Wang Zelin hard from behind and kept shouting.
Seeing that Howard was a little out of control, Wang Zelin felt more and more unworthy of his previous thoughts.
Master Huo's return as a prodigal son in the future will certainly make many fans feel distressed, but don't forget that it was all his own doing.
The cause of today will sow the fruit of tomorrow!
Want to see who is crazier?
Come on then!
Wang Zelin held the ball and made a fake move, but Howard was unmoved. The next second, he directly faced the frame and broke through, knocked Howard away and dunked, causing Howard's fifth foul of the game.
Looking down at Howard who fell to the ground, Wang Zelin didn't say any sarcastic words this time. He used actions to prove what he just said:
You, Howard, are no longer worthy of being my opponent!
"Wait for me, damn Oriental! Damn yellow-skinned bastard..."
When Howard threw Jeremy Lin away and came to help him, he stood up fiercely, not caring at all how his words just hurt his teammates' hearts.
Hearing the indecent words from Howard's mouth, Wang Zelin immediately turned around and said coldly: "If you really want to experience what it's like to go to hell, I can help you!"
Looking at this fierce face, feeling the terrifying and intimidating power it burst out, huge pressure rushed towards me.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Seeing the two getting closer and closer, the linesman immediately blew his whistle to prevent some accidents from happening.
"Pay attention, hurry up and shoot the free throw!"
Both of them are popular figures in the league. The referee could not deliberately favor one side, so he had to remind Wang Zelin.
"Hey, Mr. Referee, we were just having a friendly chat, don't you think so, Dwight! Yeah~"
"…Yes, it is!"
Recalling Wang Zelin's explosive combat effectiveness after entering the league, Howard's inner anger immediately dissipated.
He didn't want to anger the beast in front of him!
"That's best."
The referee nodded indifferently.
"Uh-huh!"
2+1 tie.
After a brief commotion, the game continued.
In the third quarter, Howard's data column did not show any changes...except for turnovers and fouls.
The final quarter was completely reduced to garbage time. Coach Tristo seized the opportunity and started arranging his troops again.
The Trail Blazers' final score was as high as 138 points. Mo Williams was worthy of being a master of chaos. He scored 17 points in the final quarter, further widening the score difference to 33 points.
At 138:105, the Blazers' opening game of the 2013~2014 season officially ended.
