711: War between kings and kings (5.4K(1/3)
Wayne was suspended for 8 games. Although it was quite controversial, it has become an unchangeable fact.
But most of the people making the fuss were Warriors fans, and most others thought the eight-game suspension was fine.
After all, what Dogt and Green did to Wayne had already caused public outrage.
Moreover, the alliance also stepped up its promotion of the Christmas War in December.
Rather than suspending Wayne, most fans would rather see the peak showdown between Wayne and James two years later.
Isn’t the battle between the new king and the old king more interesting than Wayne being suspended?
Back then, when James glared at Wayne for a dunk on the court, fans fantasized about Wayne standing up from the bench and facing off against James countless times.
Now that this fantasy has a chance to become reality, how many people will refuse?
Therefore, the eight-game suspension did not cause much criticism.
Du Xiaoshuai looked at the schedule and was excited!
Because of the eight games that Wayne was suspended from, one happened to be the Thunder versus the Trail Blazers.
This is a great opportunity to avenge the opening game!
Du Xiaoshuai is also a man with a sense of honor. Whoever wants to beat my brother, I will join in... If not, I will definitely fight back.
Although in the next game, the Trail Blazers did not have Wayne.
But beating the Trail Blazers without Wayne...it's also very cool!
Why do you care so much? Win the game first!
The Trail Blazers have been suspended for three games, which is undoubtedly a huge test for Curry.
Of course, in Wayne's view, he was the only one who was actually suspended.
It's as if Hardy and Artest would be able to play if they weren't suspended.
At most, the atmosphere team is missing two towel-wavers.
Although he is gone, Wayne is still confident about the next eight games.
The primary school students this season are very powerful.
On December 6, the Trail Blazers flew to the icy and snowy Minneapolis to face the tough old team Timberwolves.
It stands to reason that when they are suspended, the three old men, who are over 100 years old in total, do not have to play away games with the team.
Especially coming to a place like Minneapolis.
However, Wayne and the others still came with the team.
Regardless of suspension or not, Wayne requires everyone to attend the game together.
Only in this way can everyone feel that this is a collective.
Seeing the team lead neatly, Wayne felt a sense of accomplishment.
I am indeed good material to be a leader!
On the surface, it seems that Wayne is leading the team well.
But in fact, Hardy and Artest still came with the team because they only had someone to play mahjong with them in the locker room...
Artest just lost 300 yuan to Old Carter last time, how could he just let it go?
True. Mahjong team management.
Wayne couldn't understand how anyone in this world could not handle locker room relations.
There is nothing that a round of mahjong cannot solve.
In this way, the staff in the target center always heard the confusing shouts of "touch, burnt" coming from the locker room.
When he came on the court to warm up after playing mahjong, the live camera also showed Curry.
Everyone knows that without Wayne, Curry's performance will directly determine the Blazers' winning rate.
To be honest, if it were a few years ago when Curry was still young, Wayne would really be a little worried.
But now Curry is already a qualified team leader.
Wayne just silently waved the towel on the sidelines.
Curry was very energetic when he warmed up today. Five minutes before the game started, the Timberwolves players were still shooting seriously, and Curry took the lead.
He used a framed version of the European step to walk to the basket, then threw the ball into the air randomly, then posed in a squatting position under the basket, staring at the basketball in the air.
The basketball fell to the ground, bounced violently, and finally crashed into the net.
After the ball was scored, Curry jumped up and down excitedly, and others celebrated with Curry.
Wayne felt relieved when he saw everyone still being so disrespectful.
It shows that everyone is in normal condition~
But after the game started, facing the Timberwolves with a huge disparity in strength, the Trail Blazers did not quickly establish their advantage.
Although the Timberwolves are not strong, they performed really well today.
Towns scored 12 points on 6 of 7 shooting in the first half. The new No. 1 pick showed his talent to the fullest.
His gorgeous offensive skills caught Turner, who was in the same class as him, off guard.
Not to mention Big Jon, in Big Jon's opinion, Towns' series of operations are simply science fiction.
It is worthy of being an insider’s answer in the new era.
In addition to Towns, Brother Zui was also surprisingly strong today, scoring 15 points in the first half with a terrible shooting rate of 83.3%!
15 points at halftime!
Wayne was shocked. Damn it, Brother Zui dropped the thermos cup?
The two No. 1 picks both shot over 80% in the first half. Who can withstand this?
Therefore, the Trail Blazers were still 7 points behind in the first half.
Just when everyone thought the Blazers were going to lose in the first game of Wayne's suspension, in the second half, the situation took a 180° turn.
The first is Brother Zui. He was so brave in the first half, but then suddenly shriveled up in the second half.
Made 1 of 9 shots and only scored 2 points in the entire half.
He played very casually, and most of his shots were taken from outside, completely lacking the momentum he had in the first half.
Wayne looked at it and nodded in relief. Well, it seems that he still can't bear to throw away this thermos cup~
15 points in the first half and 2 points in the second half, totaling 17 points.
Brother Zui knows this score very well.
Just score 17 or 18 points in every game. Why play so hard?
Towns was also convinced. He played well in the first half, but in the second half he just kept fit.
Fortunately, I, Tang Lishi, have the hands and feet to rely on myself since I was a child. If you don’t hit me, I will hit you!
In the second half, Towns was still efficient, scoring 15 points and 8 rebounds on 7-of-14 shooting with a 50% shooting rate.
However, Turner is also a young man, and he also has a temper.
After being beaten by Towns in the first half, Turner also stepped up on the offensive end in the second half and played back and forth with Towns.
In one of the rounds, Turner even hit Towns with his back from a step behind the free throw line. He pushed all the way to the basket and scored with a hook.
If Tang Si is really pushed, he will take a step back. If he is pushed, he will take a step back. If he is really pushed, he will be crushed hard.
Human Anti-Back Slap Essence.
Turner has always been criticized for being too soft in his game, but when he met Towns today, he instantly became a new level of toughness.
Brother Zui stayed healthy, Turner broke out, and Curry showed a little strength in the second half. The Trail Blazers finally defeated the Timberwolves 109-103 on the road without any danger.
Curry scored 29 points and Turner scored a career-high 21 points.
Although Towns scored 27 points, his score was reduced to nothing.
After the game, looking at Towns who was panting from exhaustion, Brother Zui shook his head.
Why bother?
Is the wolfberry water not delicious?
Why do you still have evil thoughts about winning?
The victory in this game can be regarded as a good start for the next seven games.
After a game against the Bucks, the Blazers experienced another resurrection.
Now for the Bucks, Greek Kunkun has begun to show his talent.
This season, Kunkun's average points per game have begun to come into people's sight.
In this game, Kun Kun even scored 26 points. Coupled with the firepower of Monroe and Mayo, the Bucks kept the score very tight.
