Chapter 140: The Fierceness and Collision of Youth, My Emperor Is Not Weaker!
Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been too many talents who have been ruined by injuries, and the best of them are the Trail Blazers twins: Brandon Royin and Greg Oden.
Ross?
Of course, Rose is also one of the geniuses ruined by injuries, but at least they have reached the pinnacle of glory and the regular season MVP, which is not something that ordinary players can have.
The fall after the ultimate glory, although it will attract the pity of the world, but everyone has already experienced the scene of the peak rose on the court.
But Luo Yin and Auden, these two goods are worse than one another.
Speaking of trailblazers, we have to mention the culture for which it is most famous: "Portland Veterinarian!" ”
There are two of the most extreme team doctor groups in the league, the "miracle doctor" Suns and the "veterinarian" trailblazers.
Someone once said that if a player is about to be ruined by an injury, the Suns are probably the best place to go, because they have the best medical team in the world.
As the best medical team in NBA history, the Suns have saved the careers of four major stars, including Nash, a two-time MVP winner and the absolute core of the peak Suns.
In addition to Nash, the contemporaneous Smalls was also a beneficiary of the Suns' medical team.
As we all know, Smalls once underwent minimally invasive knee surgery for the Suns, and this surgery once caused Chris Webb's form to plummet.
As a result, under the treatment of the Suns team doctor, although Xiao Si's style of play was not as exciting as before, he was still one of the best interior players in the league at that time.
And what really made the Suns doctors famous were O'Neal and Hill, the two "classic examples".
As we all know, due to injuries and age, O'Neal has already been in decline when he came to the Suns, and no one hopes that he can maintain the strength of the first center, but just hope that he can have a relatively complete season.
Before Hill arrived, he was already one of the most famous "glass men" in the league, and people almost didn't believe that he could stay in the NBA.
However, the amazing thing is that these two former superstars have rejuvenated the second spring of their careers after coming to the Suns, O'Neal has played a relatively complete season, and Hill has even played more than 80 games in three consecutive seasons, and the average points per game can also reach double digits, although there is still a big gap from the peak, but that is enough to surprise people.
So, one once fantasized that if Hill came to the Suns at his prime, would he be able to be the true "Jordan's successor"?
All assumptions are ifs, and such ifs make no sense, but they always inadvertently arouse fantasies in people's hearts.
Just when O'Neal and Hill were in their second spring with the Suns, the NBA also ushered in a super talent, that is, the champion Oden in '07, the talented center who was known as the "Great" before Embiid.
However, it is embarrassing that Oden has never played a full season in his career, and although people do not think of him as a "parallel commodity" in the true sense of the word, he has not realized his talent in the NBA.
Coincidentally, at the same time as Oden, he was ruined by injuries and "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Luo Yin, you must know that he was the second scoring guard in the West after Kobe and Maddy, and when Maddy gradually stepped down from the altar, Luo Yin became recognized as the "second quarterback in the West".
Just after Luo Yin and Oden were ruined by injuries one after another, the Trail Blazers' medical team finally became the target of criticism.
Because looking back at the history of this team, they have too many good players who have been ruined by injuries, from Walton and Sam Bowe in the early years to Royin and Oden at that time.
And don't forget, the Trail Blazers have always been known as the "black hole of the center", but any center player who comes here will be injured inexplicably. If it were just one or two examples, we could describe it as a coincidence, but one after another, it could only be said that the team doctor was incompetent.
"Yellow Mamba" Luo Yin, who has just played three seasons and has been improving his average data per game, suffered a serious injury with a torn meniscus in the fourth year of his career, and removed two meniscus from his knees in the fifth year.
The meniscus is equivalent to the cushioning cotton between two bones, the meniscus is gone, and the two bones above and below the knee collide directly, and the result can be imagined, this is a serious injury that endangers the career, and it generally does not get better.
Not everyone is as perverted as Wade, who gave up a meniscus to the whole league when he first entered the league.
Of course, these two goods were injured in the years that followed, and the current Trailblazers Gemini are the existence of the alliance day by day!
Although this is Oden's first season in the game, people have already seen how dominant he is on the inside.
As for Luo Yin, he has become the backcourt core of the Trail Blazers, the third scoring guard in the West, averaging 22.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Not only that, but the Trail Blazers also have the growing LaMarcus Aldridge, who averages 18.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, which is also one of the players the Trail Blazers rely on.
One inside and one outside, when Oden was still developing, the combination of Aldridge and Luo Yin can also be ranked in today's league.
Ranked fourth in the West, the strength of this Trailblazer is quite strong and should not be underestimated!
Rose Garden Arena, when Luo Yin appeared on the stage amid cheers, all the fans stood up and saluted, the talent who was selected with the sixth pick in the first round will be the hope of the Tearing City for more than ten years in the future!
Maybe the painful truth will make these fans feel hopeless, but now they are full of hope in their hearts and have endless yearning for a better future!
"Huaxia TV! Huaxia TV! ”
"Here is the live broadcast of the 2008-2009 NBA Christmas game, our local player Lin Mu will lead the Thunder to challenge the Portland Trail Blazers, a showdown between young people is about to kick off, let us cheer for Lin Mu and cheer for Lin Mu!"
For such an important competition, Director Zhang is already boiling in the live broadcast room!
"A whistle blows, and the game begins!"
"Portland's possession, Oden's big arm, it's really enviable."
"The starting point guard of the Trail Blazers is Steve Blake, who is as steady as an old dog, and there is no trick to this, but he stands out for a stable word, and his three-point shooting rate is quite good, which can reach the level of 42%, and he is one of the top outside marksmen."
"Shooting guard, Brandon Royin, must be very familiar to everyone, so I won't go into more detail here."
"Small forward Nicolas Batum, a talented player from France, is a first-round rookie this year like Lin Mu, and he has performed well on the defensive end, mainly by cutting and shooting from the outside."
"Tonight, Batum is going to face Lin Mu head-on, I don't know what kind of performance he can play on the court."
"Power forward Aldridge, a very well-rounded interior player with a strong back, rollover, and mid-range shooting, is not good to defend."
"Finally, Auden the Great!"
"In 2007, the gap between the champion and the Bangyanxiu is gradually widening, and it will be interesting to see if Oden can turn the tide in this game!"
In the first round of the offense, the Portland Trail Blazers showed strong tactical literacy.
This is incredible for a team with young players starting from all the starters, and it is a direct testament to how good the head coach of this team is at tweaking new players.
Nate McMillan, who was appointed head coach of the Trail Blazers in 2005, has only been given a new lease of life to this team in just two or three years!
When Nate McMillan first took over the Trail Blazers, the team had a bunch of high-paid and low-energy players.
McMillan decisively swept them out of the team in exchange for a lot of lottery picks.
We all know that having a lotto doesn't mean you're going to have a star of tomorrow, and it's also hard to pick out real money with your own eye, and McMillan did just that.
Brandon Royin, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicholas Batum, Martel Webster, Greg Oden......
Even Rudy Fernandez, who was bought for millions of dollars, has become an absolute star.
It was even more difficult to unite this group of young people and exert their energy, and McMillan also achieved a 54-28 record in the fourth place in the West, allowing the long-dormant roses to bloom again in the rose garden.
Due to the 2009-10 season, the Trail Blazers suffered serious injuries, so head coach McMillan and assistant coach Monty Williams had to be on the field to complete the full-court confrontation with the players. Unfortunately, it was this full-court confrontation that caused McMillan to tear his right ankle Achilles tendon.
It can be seen that this is an extremely responsible and discerning manager, and it is only natural that the Blazers can shine under his hands!
Blake was unusually steady, and under Lowry's close defense, he steadily dribbled forward and handed it to Luo Yin, who faced Sephorosa, who was extremely defensive, not only did not have any timidity, but also showed a strong desire to fight in his eyes.
If you come up, you want to go all out?
Yes!
Luo Yin showed no mercy, and in this crucial stage, the battle between the Trailblazers and the Thunder was of great significance.
Neither of the two youth teams that best represent today's league wants to lose in such a situation!
Supernova is also superior, who would be willing to be weak?
The physically strong Brandon Royin has extremely comprehensive offensive skills, and he completed a layup against Sephorosa to help the Trail Blazers score in the first round!
The east wind blows, the drums of war beat!
The bayonet had already been shown on the opposite side, and Lin Mu would naturally fight back!
Facing French striker Batum, Lin Mu responded in the same way!
The strong body pushes the latter and completes the layup!
"Your back and forth offense, the star of the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, as soon as you come up, you show a strong desire to win!"
"Although Luo Yin has proven himself in the previous competition, in the eyes of my Zhang Weiping, Lin Mu is the best!"
is impartial to Zhang Gui, just these words simply make Chinese fans love to death.
Switching offense and defense, Luo Yin wanted to do the same, but Lin Mu didn't give him a chance, quickly assisted in defense, and Luo Yin handed the ball to Batum.
Batum cut inside and attacked the frame directly, and Jordan Jr. jumped high and slapped the ball out of the bottom line!
It is still the ball of the Trailblazers, the Thunder has already set up a position, and the airtight regional joint defense, Luo Yin's probability of wanting to break through is very low.
Without going up, Luo Yin handed the ball to Aldridge near the free throw line, Aldridge did not have the slightest softness in the face of Durant, and his mid-range shooting was deliberately raised under the interference of Durant's long arm.
"Whew!
”
Steady hit!
4:2!
The Trail Blazers lead by two points!
Lowry dribbles forward, Blake has no idea of breaking the ball at all, and the absolute speed can't compare to the opposite side, so he can only rely on experience on the defensive end to interfere with the opponent's offense.
Lowry also didn't find a good offensive opportunity, passing the ball to Lin Mu, Lin Mu didn't stick the ball to the ball, and handed it to Kevin Durant outside the three-point line under the tough defense of the Trail Blazers.
Aldridge's footwork is much slower than Durant's, and with range, Aldridge is forced to pull to the perimeter and be on the lookout to keep an eye on Durant's every move.
Shooting?
NO!
Scott's pre-game deployment, such an important game, had to open with a more aggressive attack.
Break through, pass, go straight inside!
Unlike the lethality of the shot, it will be more aggressive, and it will also be played more carefully and disciplinedly.
Durant shot in sheep's suit, and the moment Aldridge reached forward and the center of gravity moved, he released the ball and quickly broke through!
Can't prevent it!
Aldridge couldn't stop even a second!
McMillan has already made a tactical plan, and once Durant breaks through, Oden on the inside will have to quickly make up for it.
Despite Auden's height of 2.13 meters, his feet are not slow at all.
The head-to-head showdown between the 2007 champions and the top eye?
Durant didn't want to pass the ball, and he didn't mind that it was impossible for him to be selected as the top pick.
It turns out that I, Kevin Durant, am better than you Greg Oden!
"Buckle him!
! ”
Crazy thoughts breed in the heart, like a demonic voice lingering in the ears, once he has decided on one thing, he will grow infinitely in the heart of man!
Durant jumped high, and his exaggerated height and arm span were not afraid of facing Oden!
"Boom!"
Amazing buckle!
Durant completed a dunk on top of the top of the winner's head!
"Oh oh wo! Durant dunked Oden? ”
"The top spot is deducted?"
"It seems that Durant's psychology is still holding his breath."
4:4!
As soon as the two teams opened, they set the tone of the game, fierce and collision, unique to the enthusiasm of young people, with Durant's slatch, the stage completely bloomed!
Auden's anger rose suddenly.
Asking for the ball inside, Oden showed his unparalleled basketball talent in front of everyone for the first time!
Shake off little Jordan, use skillful interior offensive skills, face the unguarded basket, and hit a standing dunk!
After dunking the basket, Auden looked up to the sky and roared:
"I, Oden, will not be weaker than others in my life!"
