Chapter 253 The Showdown of the Young Guards
In the summer of this year, Roy of the Trail Blazers finally waited for the No. [-] center Greg Oden, who was drawn by him a year ago, and LaMarcus Aldridge can finally partner with Oden inside.
Oden the Great has returned in good health, and the young guards of the Trail Blazers are generally believed to have all the conditions for a rise.
Last season, Oden missed the entire season due to injury, but the Trail Blazers still played an impressive 13 consecutive victories under the leadership of Roy and Aldridge, with a winning rate of 50%.
Generally speaking, such a winning percentage in the regular season will allow the team to enter the playoffs.
It's just that in the Western Conference last season, the intensity of competition was simply abnormal.
The Trail Blazers still failed to make it to the playoffs.
This season, Oden's return, together with Roy and Aldridge, who have been honed last season, form the young version of the "Big Three", which is full of imagination for fans.
It's time for the Trail Blazers, who have been in a downturn for so long, to make a difference and start a new era.
Last year, Roy was only a second-year player, but he has already played an impressive performance.
By this season, as the most important core of the Trail Blazers, his performance has risen again,
It can even be said that at the age of 24, he has reached his personal peak.
Before December, he averaged 12 points, 23.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, showing a very comprehensive performance.
He shot 48 percent from the field, 37.7 percent from three-point range and 82.3 percent from the free-throw line.
In a game against the Suns before Christmas, Roy scored a career-high 52 points.
He made 27 of 14 from the field and an astounding 21 of 19 free throws.
The scariest thing is that he got such a performance and even made 0 turnovers in the game.
This is really awesome.
In terms of higher-level statistics, Roy's offensive win contribution reached 10.7, only behind Ye Hao, James and Paul,
The PER value is also ranked among the top ten in the league, behind several superstars such as Ye Hao, Wade, Kobe, Paul, Howard and Duncan.
In BBR's ranking of irreplaceable players, Roy is also ranked fifth after Ye Hao, James, Kobe and Paul.
Roy, who has played such a performance, is already qualified to be among the best shooting guards in the league.
Ye Hao, Kobe, Wade, and Roy are the most recognized by the fans, and they are currently the four strongest shooting guards in the league.
Roy's explosive power is very strong, he is proficient in various offensive techniques, and he has a great view of the overall situation. He is simply a perfect core leader of the team.
After the Rockets' Artest played against Roy, he gave Roy a high evaluation, thinking that he is one of the most difficult players in the league to defend.
This kind of Roy, plus Aldridge who is growing fast inside, Aldridge is only 23 years old this year, he entered the league in the same year as Roy,
This season, he has averaged 18.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, which is a very good statistical performance.
Aldridge has an excellent mid-range shot, his performance is extremely stable, and his size and skills can be called the kind of long man that all team managers want to get.
Now Roy and Aldridge are ushered in, and their team has been looking forward to the great Oden for a whole season.
The Emperor's talent cannot be overstated.
If it can be fulfilled, Roy, Aldridge and Oden, the talents of this triangle combination are so full that they will overflow.
Just looking at talent, Aldridge can only rank third among the three.
Ye Hao, who traveled from the future, knows that Aldridge's performance is terribly stable every season, and he has been selected to the All-Star and the best team in the league many times.
Such a player is actually only ranked third in talent in the team.
If Roy and Oden are both healthy, then how exciting the future of this team is, it will make people feel exciting to think about it.
Now in addition to Roy, Aldridge and Oden, there are three potential rookies including Jerry Bayless, Nicholas Batum and Rudy Fernandez, as well as Blake and Outlaw. Do titans.
Although their start of the season was not very smooth, they only achieved a record of one win and three losses.
Lost to the Lakers, Suns and Jazz successively, and won a victory by only 1 point over the Spurs.
Moreover, Oden, who just came back, sprained his right foot in the game against the Lakers. This really shocked the fans of the Trail Blazers, but fortunately, there was no need for a major rest. After a few games of treatment, Oden came back up.
From the fifth game, they began to play a winning streak.
Oden, who returned from injury, also gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game, playing more and more steadily.
The Trail Blazers squeezed into the ranks of the playoff teams in the West, ranking fifth in the West.
When such a young guard army and another young guard army led by Ye Hao met at the Christmas competition.
That's the eye-catching sight of Mars hitting Earth.
It must be hard to get a ticket at the scene,
The ratings of the live TV broadcast also created a record for the Christmas war in recent years without any effort.
For the fans, the giant battle between the Lakers and the Celtics, the old enemy battle between the Wizards and the Cavaliers, the Suns and the Spurs, which is hyped by the league almost every year, is not a big deal. fresh.
The collision of the two most popular young guards, which is also mixed with elements such as who is the No. 2008 pick or No. [-], who is the strongest player in [-], it is impossible not to be popular.
The game commentator Barkley also said: "This Christmas, the enthusiasm of the audience is even hotter than that of the playoffs."
Kenny Smith said: "Who is the best shooting guard in the league right now? Ye Hao or Roy, Kobe or Wade? The duel between Ye Hao and Roy is really exciting."
While the commentator was speaking, the players from both sides had already appeared on the field.
Ye Hao took the initiative to greet Roy and other Trail Blazers players.
As for Huang Mambaroy, he still recognized it in his previous life.
I also regretted the injuries of Roy and Oden in my heart. A good team of Trail Blazers Youth Guards was ruined by injuries.
Hey, you damn Blazers veterinarian, I hope you improve your medical skills in this lifetime.
Anyway, let the fans take a look at what the Trail Blazers were like when Roy and Oden were healthy and both played their peak performances.
After greeting the Trail Blazers players, Ye Hao secretly blew a kiss to Su Xue and Wu Chunlan who were sitting on the sidelines. They also came to watch him play today.
After some show performances and cheerleading performances, the game is about to start.
The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is: point guard Steve Blake, shooting guard Brandon Roy, small forward Nicolas Batum, power forward LaMarcus Aldridge and center Greg auden.
The Thunder's starting lineup has undergone a slight adjustment. Because Varejao suffered from the flu, Carlesimo mentioned Jordan to the starting position.
In this way, the Thunder's starting lineup is: point guard Dragic, shooting guard Ye Hao, small forward Durant, power forward Jeff Green and center Jordan Jr.
Jordan played against Oden. To be honest, if he just watched the game as a fan, Ye Hao also thought it would be very interesting.
The two sides jumped the ball, Jordan took the first step to pick the ball into the hands of his teammates, and the Thunder attacked first.
The ball was given to Dragic and he led it across the half.
Blake sticks up to defend.
Dragic hit the ground and passed the ball to Durant on the right wing.
Durant singles rookie Batum with the ball.
Batum, known as "Little Pippen" in the future, is just a rookie now. Although he has shown a good talent, he was still thrown by Durant with a turnaround jumper.
Durant easily throws the ball in.
Looking back, Blake dribbled the ball across half court.
After he came over, he handed the ball directly to Roy.
Ye Hao clung to it.
Aldridge moved out of the paint, intending to set a screen for Roy.
However, Ye Hao took the first step, quickly retreated, bypassed Aldridge, and continued to chase Roy.
Roy didn't expect Ye Hao's speed to be so fast. He originally wanted to dribble the ball close to his teammates and find a good release point so that he could shoot a jumper directly.
But this time Ye Hao has already posted it again, and the chance to make the phone call he wanted is gone.
Ye Hao has a size advantage over Roy.
Roy's height is only 1 meters, the standard height of a shooting guard.
Ye Hao is 2 meters tall, the height of a small forward. If it weren't for Durant in the Thunder team, he would have no problem swinging to the small forward position.
Of course, he can also play the point guard position. As for the inside positions of power forward and center, he is not willing to play. The big men in the team still have to hand-to-hand combat with people inside. let's do it.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Ye Hao, Roy could only pass the ball back, passing the ball to Aldridge without looking at the base.
Aldridge catches and shoots, which is bullying Jeff Green.
Jeff Green raised his hand to block the shot, but still couldn't prevent Aldridge's jumper.
Adelaide's mid-range and long-range shots are really accurate, and his shooting movements are also very standard, which can be called a shooting textbook.
The two sides drew to start.
After that, you came and went, and the score rose alternately.
In the beginning, Ye Hao didn't immediately take the initiative to attack.
He will give up the mobile phone to his teammates, and let the teammates play first.
But after Roy made a three-pointer from the outside, he also had the ball in his hand and wanted to respond.
He slowly controlled the ball outside the top of the frontcourt.
Wu Chunlan and Su Xue on the sidelines held hands, stood up, and shouted cheers to their brother Hao in Chinese.
Barkley said: "The expected offensive and defensive matchup between Ye Hao and Roy is here!
The three-pointer Roy scored just now was covered by his teammates. After getting rid of Ye Hao, he went around and took the ball and shot it directly. It was not counted as a direct face-to-face offense and defense between the two.
Now Roy is defending Ye Hao, and the two are one-on-one! "
Kenny Smith said: "Can Roy defend Ye Hao?
Roy's defensive ability is very good.
And his strength is very strong, under his defense, offensive players will not feel very good. "
On the field, Ye Hao slapped the ball from his crotch to the left.
Following a quick change of direction in front of the body, he switched to the right side.
There is a quick feint in the middle.
Roy was still very smart, he just controlled the center of gravity of his body and didn't overwhelm Ye Hao.
But the next time, Ye Hao pulled it back to the left, and Roy was half a beat slower.
Ye Hao took advantage of this change in rhythm to quickly rush in to the left,
Like a sharp knife, it went straight towards the basket.
Roy reacted, followed by raising his hand and sliding to catch up.
Seeing this, Oden in the Trail Blazers penalty area is ready to make up for defense.
Barkley said: "Now the biggest contribution Oden makes to the Trail Blazers is not his offense, but his defensive threat inside.
When he was inside, the Trail Blazers' penalty area was impenetrable. "
Kenny Smith nodded and said, "Yes! Oden's interior defense is the top among big men in the league.
With him guarding the penalty area, it is really difficult for the opponent to break through and score.
After breaking in, it is likely to eat his big hat. "
On the court, Ye Hao was more than half a body ahead of Roy, and took a big step into the position of two steps inside the free throw line.
Oden moved, blocked him, and raised his big hand.
As long as Ye Hao dares to jump and shoot in front of him, he dares to give Ye Hao a hot hat for him to taste.
Ye Hao took off.
The ball goes up.
Auden stared at Ye Hao's movements, and pressed his hands before the start.
As long as the ball is lifted up, he will press it down vigorously.
He would definitely push Ye Hao back to the ground abruptly.
But Ye Hao didn't force himself to make a move at all.
He took off to attract Oden and Roy's defense, the ball bypassed Oden, and gave it to Jordan behind Oden.
Little Jordan happened to be unguarded, took the ball and took off happily, and ate a pie behind Oden.
Eating cakes is really delicious!
After Jordan dunked the ball, he yelled and pulled his jersey.
As soon as he hit the starting lineup, he performed well, so he naturally felt good in his heart.
Turning around, he went to Ye Hao and gave a high five to celebrate.
The Blazers attack.
Blake hands the ball to Roy.
Roy was dribbling the ball, Ye Hao lowered his center of gravity, and stood in front of him with his hands open.
Roy said softly to Ye Hao: "You played really well!"
Obviously, he admired Ye Hao's performance just now.
Compared to players who focus on scoring, he prefers players who see the big picture like him.
Ye Hao just showed this.
Being pinched by Oden and himself, the best choice is obviously to pass the ball instead of forcing a shot.
This is the most offensive judgment a player with a high golf quotient should make.
Ye Hao smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and continued to guard his defensive position.
"It's my turn to attack!" Roy said.
"Come on." Ye Hao nodded.
Boom, Roy releases the ball.
This time, he wanted to force Ye Hao.
