The first small goal set at the beginning was not achieved. Jordan was not discouraged, but turned around to follow Wang Zelin and quickly returned to defense.
Lillard drove the ball forward, and after halftime, he saw that the Clippers had set up a man-to-man stance.
In terms of talent, this Clippers is really not bad, especially the inside duo of Jordan and Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose athletic ability is among the best in the league.
But when it comes to defense, there's no need to mention Griffin. There's nothing to talk about about his defense.
Take Jordan for example, his assist defense ability is quite good, and his rim protection is among the best in the league, but his individual defense ability is good at best, far from excellent.
Fortunately, the significance of the current MBA's assist defense is much greater than that of individual defense. In addition, Jordan's rebounding is really fierce and his team performance is good, so we have one team and one defense in the 15-16 season.
Since the NBA entered the second decade of the 21st century, many American media have claimed that "the decline of local American centers", and there are also some voices that "the traditional center is gradually dying out."
As a later generation, Wang Zelin strongly agrees with this.
Jordan can defend himself for a while, but isn't he in decline?
Lillard glanced at everyone and handed the ball to Wang Zelin who was about to reach his position.
"Come on, my king! Defeat the opponent!"
The Chinese fans at the scene roared excitedly.
After catching the ball.
"Crack, click, click..."
Media cameras were flashing wildly.
Jordan gritted his teeth and exerted force behind him, trying to withstand Wang Zelin.
However, how could a man who could not even withstand Duncan lose weight in his later years be able to withstand Wang Zelin's bombardment.
Sometimes, who does the outside world always compare Jordan to?
Compared with Howard!
Whenever the two compare, Wang Zelin wants to spit on Howard's behalf for those who say such things.
No matter how much Howard likes to play happy basketball, it is because he has the capital to win the DPOY three times in a row. It is not just because of his overwhelming physical talent. His defensive awareness and corresponding defensive skills are both at a historical level.
In contrast, Jordan truly relies on talent to make a living.
"Bang! Bang...bang!"
After several collisions, Wang Zelin ran over Jordan to the three-second zone, turned around, jumped up, raised the basketball with both hands, and smashed the frame.
It's actually very simple to play against a player who relies heavily on physical talent.
Either rely on a stronger physical advantage to directly defeat the opponent; if there is no physical advantage, you can easily beat him with technology.

After catching the ball, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh:
"Seeing this scene, I finally understand why the media commented that Zelin's physical talent is definitely rare among yellow people in a century."
"The opponent is DeAndre Jordan, the top talent among active post players, but he can't hold up Zelin."
Yang Yi sighed on the side.
"nb..."
Staples Center was filled with heartrending shouts.
"This is an offensive foul! No. 36 on the other side committed an offensive foul..."
The Clippers suffered a tragedy at the start of the game before they expected it. Doc Rivers shouted angrily at the referee, but unfortunately no one listened to him.
tnt live broadcast seat.
Kenny Smith is in charge of the commentary for tonight's game, accompanied by former Lakers legend Magic Earvin Johnson.
In the Clippers game, the "Magician" was invited to be the guest commentator. It can be said that the top management of tnt has good intentions.
According to rumors before the game, TNT executives also invited the Lakers' top "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant, who did not play today, to serve as a special guest, but unfortunately the latter did not agree.
If that really happens, there will be a dramatic scene tonight where two Lakers players will commentate on the Clippers game, and the Clippers players will have to go crazy.
"It's so comfortable to be teammates with Wang. If I had a teammate like Wang back then, I might have really hoped to average 15 assists per game this season."
After seeing Lillard and Wang Zelin at the airport, they quickly returned to defense. Magic Johnson couldn't help but joke.
Kenny Smith was surprised: "Erwin, you are so optimistic about the king!"
"Of course, in my opinion, young people with unlimited potential like Wang can achieve extraordinary achievements no matter what era they are placed in."
"Even in your time"
"Yes, even in the 1970s and 1980s, Wang could become one of the most dominant centers in the league."
During the conversation between the two, Magic Johnson did not hesitate to praise Wang Zelin, which surprised the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV.
Logically speaking, a top five-level super boss like him in NBA history should place high demands on young players. Why are he acting like a fan now?
Of course Magic Johnson will not tell everyone: This is one of the fine traditions of the Lakers.
Whenever outstanding young people appear in the league, especially inside players, regardless of whether it is their own team or another team, many Lakers stars will stand up and say something to them more or less.
Otherwise, do you think the reason why there are so many already successful superstars in NBA history choosing to join the Lakers midway is because their management and retired celebrities have done an excellent job in this regard.
Back on the court, the Clippers attack.
At the peak of the game, Sao Paulo used its own breakthrough threat to assist Griffin to score an alley-oop dunk.
"Blake!! Griffin!!!"
The Clippers DJ roared like crazy.
"City of Lobs!"
Clippers fans also fell into excited cheers.
Both sides scored in the first attack, and the score was tied at 2:2.
Trail Blazers offense.
After Wang Zelin received the ball at a high position, he was directly double-teamed by DeAndre Jordan and Clippers starting small forward Gerald Dudley.
"Fuck! Another crazy team!"
While complaining mentally, the movements of his hands were not slow.
Turning sideways to protect the two balls on his chest, Batum cut in from the left corner. After approaching the penalty area, Wang Zelin raised the ball behind his head and passed the ball.
"Pass behind the head!"
"Want to return an alley-oop?"
Su Yu and Yang were excited for a moment.
"Defend! Defend..."
Paul snapped at his teammates.
Griffin rushed to the basket and jumped to block the shot.
Unfortunately, the weakness of his short hands was exposed again.
Seeing the basketball getting closer and closer, Batum's face was filled with excitement. He glanced at Griffin not far in front of him from the corner of his eye, and he became even more excited.
He took a heavy step forward with his right foot, and jumped into the air as if a spring was installed on his sole. His left hand touched the ball first, then he held it tightly with both hands and poured it down.
With a loud "Bang!", the basketball was poured into the frame by Batum.
At the same time, beep~the referee whistle sounded.
Griffin adopted incorrect body posture when defending and was sentenced to a blocking foul and an additional penalty.
"What?"
Rivers spread his hands with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Black whistle! Black whistle..."
The Clippers fans on the sidelines couldn't believe this scene.
It's only been a few minutes since the game started, why did Griffin commit a foul?
But the media on the sidelines can't control so much. The two sides have already had a back-and-forth alley-oop competition, which made them very excited. They each raised their cameras, pointed at the faces of the main players of both sides, and went "click, click, click!"
