Chapter 119 Fighting against the King(2/2)
"Good evening, viewers, this is the TNT live broadcast room. The game that ends for you tonight is a game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sacramento Kings. The starting players of the two teams have appeared. Let us turn the camera to them.
."
Trail Blazers starting lineup: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
Kings starting lineup: Aaron Brooks, John Salmons, Francis Garcia, Jason Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins.
As for Tyreke Evans...he injured his knee and needs to rest for a week.
What a troubled young man.
Wang Zelin turned his attention to tonight's opponent.
DeMarcus Cousins!
With a comprehensive score of 83, height of 211cm, weight of 124kg, upper body strength of 88, and lower body strength of 90, he is worthy of being one of the few traditional important centers in the future league.
72 ball control, 75 passing, 68 breakthrough...
These abilities are not like those of most traditional centers.
There are no plug-ins but I always want to play tricks, no wonder I get injured again and again.
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin successfully competed for the ball.
Looking at today's league, as long as Howard and DeAndre Jordan stand up, Wang Zelin can pat his chest and confidently say, "Everyone here is a jerk!"
In the first quarter, all members of the Trail Blazers finally returned home after half a month. It was like meeting the best of you at your strongest age, with a surge of energy that was about to break through the sky.
Lillard made 2 of 3 three-pointers from outside, Aldridge made 2 of 4 mid-range shots, and Wang Zelin made 4 of 5 inside shots. Coupled with the active cooperation of role players, the team made 13 of 21 shots and scored 30 points.
The Kings' offensive performance was also good, scoring 23 points on 10 of 19 shots. It can be said that they played their own rhythm, but they still couldn't withstand the furious Trail Blazers and fell behind by 7 points.
Cousins, in particular, is worthy of being the future number one center in the league.
Although he does not have the advantages of size and strength when facing Wang Zelin, Cousins, who comes from a famous NCAA school, is very good at low-post offense, has superb skills, outstanding footwork, and the shooting threat can cover any position within the three-point line.
Although it was easy for Wang Zelin to beat Cousins, the same was true for the latter.
After the first quarter, Wang Zelin scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Cousins got 10 points and 2 rebounds. This is the most confident point for the Kings. It can be said that the two have formed a mutual explosion.
In the first half of the second quarter, it was time for the substitute lineups of the two teams to compete.
After all, the Trail Blazers are now the seeded team in the Western Conference. Although they have become a little bit of a bad guy in the eyes of the outside world, they are not something that the Kings can compete with.
In the first half of the second quarter, Hickson defeated the Kings' inside group, shooting 3 of 4 and 2 free throws, all reaching 8 points.
Although the Kings also have some harvests, they are still far behind the Trail Blazers.
At 38:27, the Trail Blazers led by 11 points.
When the official timeout came, the two teams coincidentally changed into their main lineups.
Chapter completed!
