new lord of the rings

Chapter 472 Point guard battle!

The Suns practiced while waiting for a visit from the Portland Trail Blazers.

On the game day, the arena of the Holiday Inn Talking Stick was crowded. This was not only the first game of the new season for the Phoenix Suns at home, but also when the Suns were about to award the championship ring. This was the first time in the history of the Phoenix Suns. The first championship, no matter how grand it is.

In the arena of the Holiday Inn Talking Stick, which was full of cheers, Zhang Xin took a ring that belonged to him, put it on his hand, and then raised it up to signal to the fans. In an instant, the inside of the arena seemed like a torrent erupted suddenly. Usually, the roar of cheers seems to lift the roof of the pavilion.

Zhang Xin looked at the shining championship ring under the light, with a sincere smile on his face: the fourth championship ring!

Zhang Xin turned his eyes and saw Lillard and McCollum on the opposite side. Their eyes showed envy: The young man on the opposite side has been in the league for four years and won four championships. How lucky is he? !
How many proud sons of heaven have tossed and turned for the championship for more than ten years, and even in their later years, they are even willing to fight for a championship with their heads and legs, but this young man only took four years, and he was established in just four years. His historical status, if Zhang Xin is still so strong in the next few years, then it is not impossible to surpass Michael Jordan in a few years!
Zhang Xin is destined to become the biggest miracle in NBA history!

No one has ever achieved four consecutive championships at the beginning of entering the league. The unprecedented is certain. As for the unprecedented... It should be very difficult to break. Now the fans will see if Zhang Xin can win another championship in the new season .

Ever since Zhang Xin left the Warriors, there has been no team in the league that can secure a championship. Neither can Zhang Xin’s Phoenix Suns. This year’s competition in the Western Conference will be even more fierce. With Westbrook and Durant forming the Big Three of the Thunder, Chris Paul came to the Houston Rockets, and formed a light bulb combination with Harden. It can be said that the competition in the Western Conference this year will be even more fierce, and it can become a meat grinder in the Western Conference.

Teams like the Trail Blazers are not weak, but they are already caught in the cracks. The Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Golden State Warriors have all been strengthened to varying degrees. A team like the Trail Blazers who have nothing to add will be forced to do so. The stronger the stronger, the weaker will always be weak. The Trail Blazers are not bad, at least they are still a playoff team. I can go to the draft.

The fun is over and the game officially begins.

The lineup arranged by Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts is: Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic, Maurice Harkless, Al Aminu.

The starting lineup for the Suns is: Zhang Xin, Rajon Rondo, Paul Gasol, PJ Tucker and Devin Booker.

Two big centers, Gasol and Nurkic, jump the ball in the middle circle. Nurkic is 213cm tall, which is as tall as Paul Gasol, but Nurkic is young after all, relying on the speed of bullets to beat Gaso Bill, the first to touch the basketball, gave the ball to Lillard.

Lillard dribbled the ball through the half court, facing Rondo first came a super long three-pointer, the basketball spun into the basket and hit a super long three-pointer.

The faces of the generals of the Suns were a little displeased, which was almost provocative: very few teams played like this from the beginning, generally speaking, both sides would run away slowly first, and develop tactics, and only after getting better Such a style of play, but as soon as Lillard comes up, he will be dismounted first, which is a bit careless.

Coach Terry Stotts was also a little unhappy. At the beginning, Lillard didn't play according to his arrangement. This was almost provoking his majesty, but Coach Terry Stotts didn't show it. After all, Ladd is the leader of the team, and falling out is not good for anyone.

Zhang Xin doesn't care. He doesn't have much time to be presumptuous in other people's home courts, but he also has a lot of time to score crazy points in other people's home courts. If he offends someone, he should do the most and the least face-saving, so for these Unspoken rules do not care too much.

But Rondo was a little annoyed, especially when the ball was shot in front of him, and Rondo had to get it back. As soon as halftime passed, Rondo used Gasol's cover and rushed to the basket as soon as he was short. It was a little stingy to score the ball under the help of Aminu.

Zhang Xin couldn't help but open his mouth: Rondo is also a veteran, I didn't expect to be so stubborn.

Logically speaking, no one has made it clear, so it's over, but Lillard is a bit looking for trouble. McCollum dribbled the ball halfway and was looking for a pick-and-roll to break into the basket. Lila Germany, however, took the initiative to ask McCollum for the request, and indicated that he would not use the pick-and-roll, and he wanted to single Rondo.

Rondo frowned, his eyes showed a cold light: Are you provoking me!

Lillard has a resolute and stubborn personality. When Zhang Xin was in the Golden State Warriors, Lillard was energetic as soon as he hit the Warriors. He had to beat Stephen Curry. Rondo won the championship as the starting point guard last season. His performance once again allowed him to rank among the top five active point guards in the league, and Lillard happened to be left behind by Rondo. How could the arrogant Lillard bear it!

In such an important game tonight, Lillard has an attack. He will use breakthroughs again and again to show all the expert fans. Damian Lillard is definitely the top five point guards in the league, not Rajon Rondo is a point guard who can't even shoot.

The rest of the Blazers opened up the space for Lillard to break through. Zhang Xin frowned. Lillard's breakthrough was very fast. Rondo might not be easy to defend, but this kind of one-on-one play is not easy to defend by himself. Well, let's see if Rondo can handle it first.

Lillard quickly dribbled the ball under the crotch at a 45-degree angle. After a few dribbles, he suddenly exploded and made a breakthrough to the right. Jump over, and quickly return to the basket to protect the frame. He doesn't care whether he is singled out or not. Now that he is at the basket, he should let Lillard feel the toughness of the sun!

Seeing Zhang Xin coming to help defend, Lillard showed an excited expression on his face. He took a big step and took off. Zhang Xin jumped up. Lillard wanted to stay in the air and pull the bar to avoid Zhang Xin to the side for a layup. Zhang Xinzhang He opened his hands and stayed in the air. When Lillard made a layup, he pressed the ball directly on the backboard, and the basket made a bang!
"Hey!" The fans in the audience exclaimed.

Zhang Xin's hat is very cruel. Lillard has tried his best to avoid Zhang Xin, but Zhang Xin also gave Lillard a pegboard hat, which is too overbearing!
