Trail Blazers:

Point Guard: Damian Lillard

Shooting Guard: Wes Matthews

Small Forward: Nicolas Batum

Power Forward: Kevin Garnett

Center: Wang Zelin

Garnett played in this game because Adridge suffered a minor injury during training and was on the bench.

This is consistent with the norm in his career, with major injuries rare and minor injuries constant.

However, with Garnett's physical reserves at this time, he won't be able to play for long. It is estimated that Wang Zelin will take turns to change partners.

This made many Chinese fans watching the game once again look forward to the scene of Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian playing at the same time.

I went to New York to play the Knicks two days ago, and the two had the opportunity to be on the court at the same time. However, in that game, Wang Zelin was busy attacking and the ball was highly concentrated, and there was no scene of wonderful cooperation between the two.

I hope I can grasp this one!

Pistons:

Point Guard: Brandon Jennings

Shooting Guard: Chauncey Billups

Small Forward: Josh Smith

Power Forward: Greg Monroe

Center: Andre Drummond

Head Coach: Michael Curry

The opponent's head coach's name is a bit bluffing...

Beep beep beep~

The game is about to begin.

Wang Zelin concentrated on winning the jump ball and returned the ball to the Trail Blazers half.

As soon as the ball was caught, the fans at the scene began to loudly blow the charge chant, and the overwhelming shouts of attack showed the youthful vitality of the Portland Trail Blazers team.

Lillard advanced quickly, took advantage of the Pistons not setting up a defensive formation, broke through directly to the basket, and shot for a layup.

"Whoosh!"

2:0.

The Trail Blazers scored first.

Pistons offense.

In this game, the Pistons' back line seems to be playing a double organization, but anyone who has watched the previous games knows that Billups plays more for emotion.

This veteran's strength has long been gone and there is not much left. He is given up in a few games to highlight the Pistons team's respect for his contribution back then.

Sure enough, Billups advanced to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Jennings, and consciously squatted in the bottom corner.

Jennings is a typical pick-and-roll point guard with average independent breakthrough ability. After all, his body is there.

Using the cover of Greg Monroe, he broke through to attract defense help and distributed the ball to Josh Smith outside the three-point line.

However, the ball was a bit fast. Josh Smith caught the ball in a hurry and accidentally stepped on the sideline with his foot.

A false start.

"This was a coordination error among the Pistons players."

In front of the court camera, Yang Jianjie said: "This is inevitable. After all, the Pistons have made considerable adjustments to their lineup during the offseason. There is a lack of tacit understanding between the players and it takes time to get used to it."

Ma Jian on the side nodded silently.

Trail Blazers offense.

The Pistons retreated quickly this time, and Lillard saw no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he could only stay in position and slowly organize the attack.

Under the basket, Wang Zelin reached a familiar position, and Andre Drummond faced him.

It's strange to say that there are always many fans in later generations who say that Andre Drummond's help data is just a brush, but in fact it is very bad.

This kind of person must have had a diaphragm shot on his forehead.

When Andre Drummond first entered the league, he showed superb defensive skills. Coupled with his abnormal wingspan and excellent athletic ability, this guy is very likely to become one of the best defenders in the NBA in the next few years.

.

In this regard, the Trail Blazers No. 36, who debuted in the same draft as him, has a deep understanding of this.

As for why Andre Drummond's defensive potential was not converted into strength later, Wang Zelin thought about it again and again and could only come to one conclusion:

Environment affects life!

If you stay on a bad team for too long, your best talent will be wasted.

"king!"

At this time, there was a sound of urn and urn coming from behind.

Looking back, Andre Drummond said: "In a moment, I will let you see the results of my hard work over the summer. Get ready to face the challenge."

"???"

Wang Zelin's mind was filled with questions.

What do you mean?

There is also the result of a summer of hard training. Is it possible that you have become better at attacking?

Stop making trouble, this joke is too cold.

Originating from the deep-rooted influence of later generations' memories, in Wang Zelin's impression, Andre Drummond has always been a rough guy. His defense is always trustworthy, and his offense... is also always trustworthy.

After taking two steps under the basket, Wang Zelin suddenly leaned against the body that was so close to him, wrapped his arms around him, and locked him tightly behind him.

At this time, Lillard's pass came over.

Imperial Sports Channel.

"Wang Zelin asked for the ball, and Milad passed the ball to him. Wang Zelin turned on the spot and changed to face the basket. Is he preparing to face the basket for singles?" Yang Jiandao: "Director Ma,

What do you think the chances of winning this ball are?"

Ma Jian did not hesitate and said: "It's hard to say. Although Zelin performed well in the first two games, even quite outstanding, the defense of the opposing players was relatively average, so I..."

"Hey, wait a minute," Yang Jian stopped hastily and said in surprise: "I have no objection to the Suns and Knicks, but according to your opinion, the defense of Dwight Howard and Joakim Noah is very poor!"

"That's right!" Ma Jian said matter-of-factly, and then explained: "Don't forget, the rookie Zelin has made wild moves on Howard more than once. According to the data, he has always played well against Howard.

Very good, similar to Yao Yao at that time, a bit restrained from Howard..."

Seeing that Yang Jian nodded cooperatively, Ma Jian continued: "What else is there for Joakim Noah? That's even more nonsense! With his physique and defense, wouldn't it be in vain when facing Zelin? What if I

Back then, with Zelin's physique, not to mention Joakim Noah, I was one of the four major centers... ahem, you know what I mean!"

"..."

Yang Jian was completely stunned.

As if unwilling, Yang Jian smiled and said: "Director Ma, I think Howard's defense is not as bad as you said. After all, he is recognized as the number one center in active service!"

"Who recognized it?"

Ma Jian threw the manuscript in his hand, squinting his eyes and smiling crookedly.

"you……"

Yang Jian felt that he needed to be quiet.

"Don't believe me. You've never played football before. I'm a soldier. How can I lie to you as a football player?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ma Jian’s sudden cadence stunned everyone in the live broadcast room.

No, Director Ma, why are you so excited all of a sudden?

It looked so frightening that our Brother Yang didn’t even dare to answer the phone.

Yang Jian was stunned for a while, and when he came to his senses, he became a little angry: Do you really think that I am a good-tempered person?

He immediately retorted: "You..."

Gradually, a large number of fans watching the game were attracted by the debate in the live broadcast room, and subconsciously drew their attention away from the game.

Within the venue.

Seeing Andre Drummond being stuck, Greg Monroe in the low post on the left wing immediately came over to help defend.

Greg Monroe does not have the superb foresight of his coach. He only knows that neither Howard nor Wang Zelin can hold down Wang Zelin in the opening game. No matter how talented Andre Drummond is, he is still far away from Howard's DPOY level defense.

Not a small difference.
