[NBA draws O'Neal in his old age at the beginning of the NBA]【】

Another day passed after the Eastern Conference Finals G4

On May 30th, the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker will begin at the Rose Garden Arena.

The scene was crowded with people, but all the places where people could stand were crowded.

Hate, championships, footsteps, brawls, injuries, teams with 70+ victories... too many keywords appeared in this round of the series.

Especially for Portland fans, who could have ended the series and entered the Finals in Game 5, but they were dragged until now.

They had waited too long for their promotion, and they couldn't wait any longer, wishing that the game would start in the next second.

On-site warm-up, when Wang Zelin appeared on the court with a thick left shoulder and back protector prepared in advance, everyone on the scene was a little surprised.

In fact, Wang Zelin was fine at all, but because the injury news released by Orsi before was too tragic, in order to block Yoyo's mouth, he could only pretend that he was still injured.

But in this way, it gave a lot of media hype, that is, the legendary "Return of the King"!

Count down the classic cases of the return of the king that happened in NBA history, if you really want to come to the top three rankings...

The first place is the battle of Tianwangshan in the finals in 1997. Michael Jordan, the **** of basketball, played sick and scored 38 points, including 15 points in the fourth quarter.

In the last minute, a golden three-pointer was made, allowing the Bulls to finally win by two points.

This is the classic "flu battle"!

The second place goes to the legendary Willis Reed of the New York Knicks.

In the 1970 Finals, Reid suffered a serious foot injury in Game 5 and missed Game 6 due to injury, which allowed the Lakers to take the opportunity to tie the score to 3-3. In the crucial Game 7, everyone thought you were finished. But Reid played with a pair of legs.

Not only did he beat Wilt Chamberlain, who was ten centimeters taller than him, in the jump ball, but he also scored two jump shots over Chamberlain's head, which was also his only 4 points in the game.

Under the call of his spirit, the Knicks defeated Los Angeles by 29 points in one go, and the Lakers won the championship.

This is the legendary "Reed Returns!"

As for the third place, there are actually many classic cases that can compete.

But what impressed most NBA fans the most was the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas in Game 6 of the 1988 Pistons and Lakers Finals, with a broken ankle and the back of the lone fighter who dealt with the Lakers. .

Under such circumstances, he still scored 43 points and 8 assists, including 25 points in the fourth quarter. It set a scoring record in a single quarter of the finals at that time, and it was not broken by Wang Zelin until the last two seasons.

With the amazing performance of the smiling assassin, the Pistons defeated the Lakers and dragged the score to the tiebreaker. Although the Pistons still lost to the Lakers in the end, Thomas dragged the lame man to persist in fighting spirit, and everyone paid the greatest respect.

When the news of Wang Zelin's injury came out, his image suddenly became extremely tall in the hearts of the media and fans.

Just like those legends in the past, whenever the team is on the verge of life and death, they will always stage the return of the king to help the team turn the tide.

This time, everyone's eyes were unanimously cast on Wang Zelin.

This celestial boy, can he do it?

…

It can only be said that Orsi's confidentiality work is excellent. He only told the coaching staff about the situation and did not tell the players.

Therefore, even Bald Hua was just guessing before the match, and none of the people sent out gave him an accurate reply.

So much so that before the game, many people thought that Wang Zelin would not appear today, but the leader of the Trail Blazers still stood on the basketball court.

Now, even if he is not sick, he still has to pretend to be "sick", otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to let down the bright stage that many media reporters gave him.

"Welcome back, brother!"

"Boss, welcome back!"

"..."

After Wang Zelin appeared on the stage, Lillard and Jokic immediately surrounded him, and the originally nervous heart became indestructible in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the home fans immediately boosted their morale!

The King of the Rose Garden is back, and the Blazers will be unstoppable.

"I'm fine, I will defend the home victory with everyone tonight!"

Wang Zelin smiled slightly. He was very pleased to have so many teammates and fans who supported him.

It's all worth fighting for such a team!

"Hahahaha, that's great. Tonight, let's kick the other side's **** hard together!" Jokic waved his fist, and was temporarily given the starting position in the last game, but failed to provoke the big responsibility. He hated his lack of strength.

Now after the boss came back, he immediately stared at the opposite Warriors bench sharply, as if he had taken a reassurance, wishing he could swallow him alive.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

For the Blazers, a starting lineup of Lillard, Barton, Connett Lee, Aldridge, and Wang Zelin was sent.

As early as yesterday, the Blazers announced the injury of the starting wing gate Batum: saying that he will be reimbursed for the season and will not be able to participate in the following series.

In addition, Beverly was suspended for another three games, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com lost two defensive champions, and the Blazers' unlimited defense system broke down on its own.

Therefore, Coach Terry simply asked the team to switch back to the regular starting style of play tonight, letting Connet Lee replace Batum, and the other four positions remained unchanged.

In this way, although Connett Lee's defense is one level worse than Batum's, it is above the passing line after all, and will not become a corner that is mainly called by the opponent.

For the Warriors, the starting lineup is the same as the previous game, Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Speights, BoGt, nothing changed.

They lost Draymond Green, the most important part of the 5-minor system, and their defensive ability plummeted. Playing the 5-minor Chunchun would be death.

Therefore, Cole can only continue to use the previous starting style of play, and the Warriors' hope of defeating the enemy and reaching the finals can only be pinned on Curry and Thompson, the splash brothers.

So far in the series, both teams have given their all, whether it is serious tactics or off-the-ball moves.

Now that we know each other well, it is not only a competition of star strength, but also a duel at the level of spiritual will!

In many cases, there are not a few teams that have the strength to compete for the championship every season, but it always makes people feel almost meaningless.

The so-called almost means here, in fact, it lacks the spirit and energy that a championship team should have!

And this spirit is often directly related to the leader of the family.

Only when the leader is strong enough and the spirit is high enough, can the team break through a higher upper limit!
