It turns out that Phoenix fans really thought too much.
Back in the second quarter, although Dragic quickly hit a pick-and-roll two points to further expand the score, the Blazers, unwilling to be humiliated, quickly launched a fierce counterattack.
There is no reason why we, the Lakers, have won, and now we can lose against a team that is destined to compete for the No. 1 pick this year.
The Trail Blazers sent a baseline ball, and Lillard handed the ball to Ade who was standing in a good position as soon as the half was passed. Ade looked at the position of his teammates and signaled Wang Zelin to open up the space to the other side. He wanted to play singles. Michael Beasley.
Michael Beasley was excited when he saw Ade leaning towards him.
They both debuted in the second place, but the opponent was already the boss of the team, and he gradually turned into an unknown player worrying about playing time. This made Michael Beasley, who had always been regarded as the favorite by the outside world, very annoyed.
It's all the fault of those badass coaches and the management who have no vision. Damn it, they left a great talent like me unused and promoted some second-round pick instead.
Even though he has reached this stage, Michael Beasley has always believed that it was not himself but others who were at fault. No wonder this guy will go to the CBA in a few years.
Glancing at Michael Beasley, Ade looked like a Muggle, playing post-up singles with an expressionless face.
Years of bad defensive habits left Michael Beasley with no way to deal with Aldridge. He could only watch the opponent act recklessly in front of him.
In the next round, Michael Beasley was eager for success and chose to take a confident shot despite being double-teamed by two people. In the end, he naturally succeeded and Wang Zelin grabbed the backboard.
This suddenly destroyed the Suns' original good offensive rhythm, and coach Gentry couldn't help but frowned.
He turned to the assistant coach, "Rory, if Beasley still doesn't play according to the tactics in the next round, then take him off." After thinking about it, he added, "The prerequisite is that he can't make a shot."
"Okay, sir."
Assistant coach Rory nodded.
It's the Trail Blazers' round again, and this time the ball is still in the hands of the team boss Ade.
This time, after Adelaide made a few tentative steps, he suddenly took off and caught Michael Beasley off guard, heading towards the penalty area.
Michael Beasley quickly returned to defense~~~ With a "boom", his whole body hit a wall of people, and he could only watch Ade slip away in front of him.
"It's really despicable to actually play pick-and-roll!"
Michael Beasley looked up in surprise. It turned out that the person lying in front of him was a yellow-skinned giant. This pick-and-roll was very secretive. He didn't notice anyone beside him at all before he bumped into it.
"Dude, remember to watch the road next time, otherwise I'm going to call the traffic police and someone rear-ends you."
When Ade successfully made a layup under the basket, Wang Zelin couldn't help but joke about Beasley, the famous NBA negative teaching material, when he returned to defense.
When he was in the CBA, most of the players he saw were players with the same skin color as himself. Wang Zelin was not that talkative, but after arriving in the unfamiliar environment of the NBA, he suddenly became talkative. Maybe this is a kind of resolution." A way to express the depressed mood of "alone as a stranger in a foreign land".
Most people will involuntarily turn inward when they enter a strange environment, but Wang Zelin became one of the few, and the whole person began to get closer to the talkative Zhang Wei.
The aloofness of the past is gone forever!
When Michael Beasley was about to reply, he found that the boy No. 36 on the opposite side had already run away.
"...FUXK!"
The Blazers who got serious played the Suns without any temper. It only took one quarter to catch the score within 5 points. The Suns players gradually lost themselves and fell into the rhythm of Wang Zelin and others.
~~~
~~~
~~~
Far across the ocean, Wang Changhai and his wife are also paying close attention to this game.
"That's great, Lao Wang. Now Zelin and the others have tied with the Suns at 42:47, and they will be able to catch up soon~~~"
When Wang Changhai came back from making tea, Lin Emily began to tell her husband about the progress of the competition.
"How many points does Zelin get now?"
"Six points and four rebounds. In this game, the Trail Blazers took away all the ball rights."
Ade probably didn't expect that he would unlock a new nickname just like that.
"His name is LaMarcus Aldridge. His strength in the NBA is not much worse than Yao Ming's back then, and I heard from Zelin that the other guy is also pretty easy to get along with."
Wang Changhai explained Aldridge's name to his wife with a look of helplessness.
"Really? He's similar to Yao Ming. He's pretty awesome~~~I just don't know if he's married yet?"
Prince Wang: "..."
Wang's father and queen's mother were chatting at home, and Wang Zelin's game had come to an end.
After the start of the third quarter, Coach Terry replaced Ade, who had played the entire first half, to rest, and still kept the three main players Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Batum on the court.
The Suns unexpectedly changed into a rotating lineup, as if to tell everyone that they had given up on this game.
This time Wang Zelin's opponent has become Solomon Jones, who loves himself 8 centimeters, and is an out-and-out fringe player in the NBA.
Faced with such an opponent, Wang Zelin showed no mercy, and with the help of Lillard, he consciously increased his shots inside.
After one quarter, he increased his score by 11 points and grabbed 3 rebounds.
Except for a slight thrill at the beginning, the second half turned into a veritable training battle, with the coaches of the two teams changing their methods to hone their tactics.
In the fourth quarter, although Wang Zelin showed a strong desire to play, coach Terry still rejected his request to play.
Once that brat Wang Zelin starts having fun, he is like a wild horse that cannot stop.
The last time we played the Lakers was a lesson learned, and Coach Terry doesn't want to make the same mistake again this time.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the other Suns players seemed to hear the sound of nature and let out a big sigh of relief.
Finally no more being hung up and beaten!
101 to 92, the score difference is only 9 points, but only those who have watched the whole game know that this is not a game as anxious as the score, but it has become a one-sided massacre from the beginning of the second half.
Although Wang Zelin and Lillard both played less than 30 minutes in this game, which was not as good as the first game, their performance was still very efficient.
Wang Zelin made 7 of 9 goals and scored 17 points and 7 rebounds with 3 free throws; Lillard scored 21 points and 6 assists.
It is worth mentioning that Lillard's three-point touch was very good in this game, and he made 3 hits in 5 shots.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Trail Blazers selected two very outstanding little guys, and they will have a very bright future.
Among the rookies in the same class, except for the new core Anthony Davis of the Hornets and Bradley Beal of the Wizards, there is no fifth rookie who averages double figures in points per game.
Phoenix fans are inevitably a little disappointed when their home team loses, but they believe that under the wise leadership of the team management, the Suns will surely rise again.
What they don't know is that the departure of Stoudemire and Nash has caused the Phoenix City to fall directly into the abyss. Their road to reconstruction has just begun, and there is still a long way to go!
