On January 3, the Trail Blazers played their 34th regular season game of the 2015-16 season at home against the San Antonio Spurs.
On this day, the Internet and the media were full of reports about the match between the two teams.
Just yesterday, the Spurs had another game against their Western Conference rivals, the Lakers.
The Black Mamba, who has the support of the "Spurs Nemesis", suddenly turned green when he saw them. Kobe, who had only averaged 22 points per game before and was tepid before, looked like a wild cat in heat when he saw them. He didn't know why. Suddenly it became explosive!
Two consecutive three-pointers in the last minute of the final quarter helped the Lakers equalize the score and send the game into overtime.
It's a pity that no one can withstand the passage of time. Leonard suddenly showed off his power at the last moment, completed two fatal steals in succession, and finally relied on free throws to reverse the victory. The Spurs won 6 consecutive victories!
After the game, many fans couldn't help but sigh that the legend was finally coming to an end, and the baton of the new era had been passed to the hands of young people.
The once "nemesis of the Spurs" is now powerless. This season, the Lakers have been double-killed by the Spurs!
Leonard played 38 minutes in this game, scoring 30 points, 6 rebounds, 6 steals, 5 assists and 1 block in 4×5 data, and was successfully elected as the best player of the game.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time in Leonard's career that he has scored 30 points in two consecutive regular seasons!
It is precisely with such a strong performance that although the Spurs' visit to the Trail Blazers today is back-to-back away games, many people are still optimistic that Leonard can lead the team to create miracles.
In the opening jump ball, Wang Zelin easily defeated Duncan.
In memory, this will be the last season of Duncan's career, and his athletic ability has already declined to an unprecedented low.
However, since entering the league, Duncan has never relied too much on his body, but relies more on his brain and technology to defeat his opponents. Only these two are the foundation for a player to remain dominant after the age of 30.
But of course, physical fitness cannot be too bad, at least it cannot become a shortcoming that limits oneself, otherwise good skills will be in vain.
Duncan, who was born in April 1976, is still more than three months away from turning 40. Although he is still an important cornerstone of the Spurs' interior defense with his experienced experience and historical static physical talent, the erosion of time has long since This caused him to lose the ability to defend top offensive insiders.
What's more, the player he will face tonight is the most terrifying super center in the active league - Wang Zelin!
The Trail Blazers moved to the frontcourt, and everyone stood still. Lillard held the ball on the outside, and Wang Zelin dropped down low to get the ball.
After blocking Duncan, Lillard lobbed the ball in.
As soon as Wang Zelin got the ball, Lenlad came over from the general team and didn't give him a chance to play singles at all.
To this day, everyone who has watched Wang Zelin's game knows that letting this guy score one at a time under the basket is equivalent to giving away points!
Duncan can't stand it at all, so he must not be given a chance to play in singles.
Wang Zelin, who was holding the ball with one hand, passed the ball back to Lillard before the double-team was formed. It's not that he couldn't play one against two, it was just that in order to play more securely, he had to focus more on other things.
Both defense and offense have to be taken into consideration. If he wants to score, he can choose a more relaxed way to score.
At the same time, he must join forces with his teammates to participate in the offense. Otherwise, if he plays with the ball alone, he will most likely play into the Spurs' intentions.
Don't forget, the team in front of you is currently the third strongest team in the league. If you don't pay attention, it is very likely to overturn!
Later, Wang Zelin shouted at his teammates: "Shoot! Feel free to shoot! I'll take care of the rebound tonight!"
Are all the rebounds yours?
Where do you put us?
As soon as these words came out, they immediately angered Duncan and Love inside the Spurs. Especially Love, the anger rose instantly!
With the exception of his rookie season, Love's rebounds reached double figures in all the next six full seasons of his career. At his highest, he averaged 15.2 rebounds per game.
You know, the current Love did not go to the Cavaliers early to form the Big Three. Last season, he was still his boss with peace of mind in the Timberwolves. He kept statistics and averaged 26+12 per game. He is a solid player. A true All-Star insider!
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
Even after going through a trade this season, after coming to the Spurs, Love relied on his solid rebounding skills and his thick body before losing weight. He looked like a big white bear under the basket, and his average rebounds per game could still be maintained at more than 11. The data is still gorgeous.
Will he watch Wang Zelin dominate the rebounds?
Of course it is impossible!
It was a good opportunity for Lillard to receive Wang Zelin's pass. After all, the opponent's players were afraid of Wang Zelin's offensive threat and subconsciously took a step towards the basket.
No one believes in the rebounding ability of his fellow teammate more than Lillard, so he catches the ball and saves the ball without any hesitation.
"Duang!"
This ball is solid.
The moment the ball bounced off the rim, Wang Zelin instantly activated his body, pushed Duncan away, quickly connected like a rocket into the sky, stretched out his hand, and directly grabbed the rebound in his hand.
Duncan could only watch helplessly as Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound. He had reacted just now, but his body was still a step too slow. He could only make up for it immediately and not give Wang Zelin a second chance to attack the basket.
Love on the side is also ready to help defend at any time.
Right now, Wang Zelin only needs one turn to score from the basket!
However, he didn't. He wanted to destroy the self-confidence of the entire Spurs team, humiliate the opponent with continuous offensive rebounds, and then everyone in the Spurs team knew how terrible it was to offend him?
As for respect for Duncan?
Sorry, giving your best on the court is the greatest respect for this great player!
Throwing the ball to Lillard on the outside with one hand, Wang Zelin exited the three-second zone and sprayed wildly at his opponent, disrupting his opponent's self-confidence.
"Just wait and see, I'm going to grab a rebound over your heads later. You guys, you guys, can't stop me at all!"
Duncan is not the kind of player with an explosive temper. As a master of psychology, he knows the intention of Wang Zelin's move, but Love on the side can't bear it.
If Love was still a bit of a good guy in the past, then after applying for a trade and being criticized and scolded by various Timberwolves fans online, Love's temper began to become increasingly irritable, a bit like James's second departure from the Cavaliers. that period.
The former God of Love gradually transformed into the God of Fire!
Le Fu, who was becoming more and more sensitive, looked at Wang Zelin's sarcastic face, and a ball of anger quickly surged up.
"Asshole, what did you say? I won't let you act wild in front of me, this is my territory!"
Wang Zelin roared angrily: "Come on! Timberwolves traitor! Not only will I abuse your rebounds, but I will also dunk on your head. With your small body, please don't get hit by me. I can't afford the compensation!"
"Arrogant!"
Le Fu suddenly transformed into an "arrogant layman" and glared at Wang Zelin fiercely.
Although they obviously play different positions, it makes people feel that the two of them are the real rivals!
