Wang Zelin, who gave Ajiali a Chinese lesson all night, did not stretch his hips in this game. Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass did not cause much trouble to Wang Zelin.
After all, of these two people, one has passed his peak, and the other has been nothing more than a role player in his career. Wang Zelin, who is on the rise, easily solved the Celtics' inside line.
Throughout the game, there were obvious gaps in the Celtics' style of play, and there was no effective containment between the outside and inside lines.
Paul Pierce took 19 shots today, but only hit 6 goals. He scored a Celtics-high 23 points, but his shooting percentage was only a pitiful 31.5%.
Kevin Garnett made 9 of 16 shots and was very efficient, scoring the team's second-highest 20 points.
But the performance of the two people did not have any impact on the final result of the game. Even the commentator who explained the game shook his head and sighed: "The Celtics seem to have lost their soul this year, and they no longer have the Big Three. As united as we were in the first two years, since Ray Allen left, the era of the Big Three has passed!"
Compared to the Trail Blazers, who were looking in one direction and working hard in one direction, the Celtics were distraught and the team would naturally be difficult to lead.
In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Boston Celtics for the second time at home 121:98, once again avoiding a three-game losing streak.
Lillard's condition continued to improve. He scored a game-high 31 points and provided 8 assists. He made 4 of 6 three-pointers and the overall shooting rate was as high as 55.4%. It is considered Lillard's best performance this season. One of several games.
Mike Roberts, who took the starting position, also scored 11 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, performing a performance that convinced his teammates and coaching staff.
Wang Zelin, who was the last player in the game, had average motivation today. He made 7 goals in 9 shots, made 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 16 points.
Although the score did not count as 20, the 12 rebounds were in line with the consistent style, and the 8 assists were even more eye-catching.
A near-triple-double of 16 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists made fans more certain that Wang Zelin was trying to help the team move forward in another way.
Facing the Green Army's inside lineup, Wang Zelin is obviously capable and promising to produce good statistics, but he is able to suppress his desire to score, help his teammates score at the expense of himself, and help the team win.
He is so selfless!
His family knows his own affairs, so only Wang Zelin knows the reason why he took so few actions tonight.
Regarding this unexpected joy, he could only say that it was unintentional.
By the way, Connet Lee, who was traded to the Trail Blazers, performed well against his old team. In the 22 minutes he came off the bench, he made 6 of 9 field goals, including 3 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 15 points and 2 rebounds. The plus-minus value is 11, which means that in the 22 minutes he was on the court, the Trail Blazers defeated their opponents by 11 points.
…
After the battle with the Celtics, the Trail Blazers' record became 41 wins and 16 losses. The Thunder, which had just climbed from the third place to the second place, may have to be on tenterhooks again. Their 41 wins and 15 losses record is not enough to guarantee a stable place in the Western Conference. Second.
After a three-day break, the Trail Blazers ushered in their last game of February at home, against the Denver Nuggets, who are also in the Northwest Division.
The Nuggets' current record is 40 wins and 17 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference behind the Spurs, Thunder and Trail Blazers.
"Last time in Denver Plateau, we lost to them, and I personally experienced the power of the Devils' home court. But this time we returned to our home court, my teammates and I were very confident and successfully defended the victory."
When interviewed by media reporters before the game, Wang Zelin seemed very calm.
"Wang, who do you think the Nuggets should pay attention to most?"
"Of course it's Andre Iguodala. He is an underrated player. The first contributor to the Denver team's current record is definitely their coach George Karl. The second contributor, I think, is Iguodala."
"But now many people think Ty Lawson is the leader of the Nuggets..."
the reporter retorted.
Indeed, this season, Ty Lawson averaged 16 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Most of the statistics are career highs.
In the eyes of the outside world, he is the well-deserved perimeter core of the Nuggets.
As for Iguodala, his averages are only 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which is almost the same as last season with the 75ers.
Except for a very small number of senior fans who like to delve deeper into the essence, most fans feel that Iguodala only performed as he should, and he did not bring any big changes to the Nuggets.
"Those are all false," Wang Zelin was very consistent and chuckled: "With all due respect, Ty Lawson is just a system player, and his data is very impressive!"
The reason why Wang Zelin behaves like this is not only because Ty Lawson is indeed a bad person off the court, but more importantly, the alcoholic posted some indecent comments on social media when he was a foreign aid for his Fujian team in his previous life. Photos, as well as words that insult Chinese women.
This made him naturally disgusted with Ty Lawson.
The ready-made photographers all aimed at Wang Zelin and yelled at Wang Zelin, and the reporters were even more happy.
The two teams are already so competitive before the fight starts, but it will be better when the fight starts.
On the other side, after hearing what the reporter said, Ty Lawson suddenly turned gloomy and said, "Listen, Celestial Boy, we won last time, and this time is no exception. Just wait until you go home to your mother to wipe your tears! "
Away locker room.
"Hi, Lawson!"
Iguodala saw Ty Lawson coming back from the pre-game interview and greeted him as usual.
"snort!"
Who knew that Ty Lawson not only did not respond, but also made a face.
what?
Iguodala stood there in confusion.
Could this guy be drinking fake wine?
Iguodala considers himself a person who is easy to get along with... In fact, this is also true. Most people in the Nuggets have become very good friends with him, except for Ty Lawson, who directly maintains a relationship with him. A general teammate relationship.
After several hot encounters with cold buttocks, Iguodala no longer took the initiative to communicate with Ty Lawson, an alcoholic.
You are all working people, why should I treat you like a boss?
…
7 p.m., Trail Blazers home game, Rose Garden Arena.
The place was already packed with spectators.
For the Trail Blazers and fans, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to watch the team win at home.
In the brightly lit arena, the starters of both teams stood on the court.
This is the Trail Blazers' starting lineup of Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Mike Roberts and Wang Zelin.
On the Nuggets side, there is the starting lineup of Ty Lawson, Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, Kones Farrid and Kosta Koufos.
Tonight's opponent, Kostakoufos, was nothing more than a role player at the end of his career. In the 12-13 season, his 8 points, 7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks were his peak season performance.
In other words, this year's Costa Koufos has reached the peak of his career, but there is still a big gap in strength between him and Wang Zelin.
The jump ball was won by Wang Zelin.
The Trail Blazers' first attack.
Lillard dribbled the ball across half court. The Spurs' defensive tactics were mainly man-to-man, with Ty Lawson guarding Lillard.
No matter how much Wang Zelin looked down on Ty Lawson before the game, the Trail Blazers coaching staff still didn't dare to look down on the opponent.
As a fast and strong point guard, Ty Lawson can not only beat Lillard in terms of speed, but he is also not afraid of physical confrontation, which makes Lillard very uncomfortable.
So on the first ball, Lillard did not choose to tangle with Ty Lawson.
Drove the ball outside the three-second zone and passed it back to Batum, who was at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line on the right. Batum feinted and saw that Wang Zelin had gone from the left corner to the right low post and quickly handed the ball over. Out out.
This is a common inside rotation tactic currently used by the Blazers, and the beneficiary is Wang Zelin.
The moment he caught the ball, everyone's eyes were on Wang Zelin. Kostakoufos hurriedly followed him. Just when Wang Zelin was about to play a single, Iguodala surrounded him from nowhere and formed a trap for Wang Zelin. folder.
"Double-teaming me at the beginning, you think so highly of me!"
Wang Zelin complained and passed the ball to Mike Roberts, who jumped up and dunked, but was blocked by Cornes Farid behind him.
Damn, I almost forgot, the current inside partner has changed from Aldridge to Mike Roberts, and the offensive abilities of the two are quite different!
The Trail Blazers attacked for the first time, and the Nuggets showed what a "running and jumping team" is. Cornes Farrid caught up with Iguodala with a ground pass, and Iguodala completed a dunk in the frontcourt.
Lightning counterattack!
Before the audience could react, the Nuggets took the lead 2:0.
"The Nuggets' counterattacks and fast breaks are notoriously fast in the league. The team with the highest scoring average per game this season is the Nuggets team in front of us...
While ranking first in the league with 106.1 points, the Nuggets averaged 101 points per game, and their defensive efficiency was not bad, ranking in the middle of the league..."
The commentator on the scene raised his voice and shouted, seeming to remind the Trail Blazers that they should not underestimate others just because their opponent's record is lower than theirs.
"Fareed, why didn't you pass it to me just now?"
After seeing Iguodala complete the dunk, Ty Lawson looked back at Cornes Farid with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"I passed it to him because I saw that he had a better chance!"
Cornes Farid explained with an aggrieved look.
Since Ty Lawson averaged 16:04, 3.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game last season, he has become the Nuggets' leading scorer and led the Nuggets to a 38-28 record and successfully entered the playoffs. After the game, Ty Lawson, who has a strong personality, started to look a bit like the Nuggets boss.
"Next time you have a chance, remember to pass it to me as soon as possible. I am the point guard and I am the boss of the team!" Ty Lawson said with a slightly threatening tone.
"knew!"
"That's good."
After hearing the reply, Ty Lawson nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, the reason why he didn't like Iguodala was mainly because of their different styles.
A man with a standardized work style and a good reputation off the court is a good man in the hearts of fans and media.
The other is a drunken, violent man who has been summoned by the court many times for breaking the law.
The two of them were destined not to pee in the same pot.
As the team's record became more and more outstanding, Ty Lawson made up his mind to regard Iguodala as a good hitter. As long as the other party can help the team win, the two of them will not conflict with each other.
But what happened later was beyond his expectation.
As the regular season progresses, the old man George Karl assigns Iguodala a higher and higher tactical status, even affecting his core position on the outside.
This is something Ty Lawson absolutely cannot allow.
He didn't want to see the status he had worked so hard for three years given up to an outsider just for half a season.
Realizing that he was offended, Ty Lawson's attitude towards Iguodala became even worse.
Perhaps this is why in the original world, Iguodala announced after the end of the season that he would skip the last year of his contract and test the free market.
In order to become a restricted free agent, Iguodala gave up his salary of 16.1 million yuan in the 2013-14 season, which shows how serious the conflict between him and Ty Lawson was at that time.
…
The game continues.
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard broke through with the ball.
Although there was Wang Zelin's cover, he still encountered Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler when he broke through to the paint area.
Wilson Chandler helped defend, and Batum quickly ran out of the open space. At this time, Iguodala, who was guarding Matthews, rushed to cover Batum, who is a very threatening shooting point from the outside for the Trail Blazers. .
Seeing this, Matthews decisively moved to the weak side and stood at a 45-degree angle.
Lillard returned the ball to Wang Zelin, and Wang Zelin quickly handed the ball over with a shot.
The basketball flew to the other side, and everyone followed it.
Matthews is open!
There were screams in the Rose Garden Arena.
Matthews caught the basketball in the open space, glanced at the basket, and took a quick shot.
"Uh-huh!"
"Will's open chance... the ball went in!" the home commentator shouted.
"Beautiful, the Blazers went ahead by one point!"
On the sidelines, the commentator of this game and NBA star Reggie Miller said.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I can't help but sigh. Wang's passing vision is always so broad and his timing is always so accurate!"
On the side, Chris Webber, who is still as handsome as ever, couldn't help but admire him.
"Haha! Chris, stop pretending, your passing skills back then were even better!"
Reggie Miller laughed.
"That's all in the past, now it's the world of young people."
Weber waved his hand modestly.
3:2.
The digs attack.
Ty Lawson dribbled the ball across half court to organize an attack. Iguodala ran along the sideline toward the basket. His timing was precise, and Matthews, who was guarding him, did not react.
"ball!"
Iguodala raised his left hand high and shouted in his heart.
But the pass never came...
It shouldn’t be!
Judging from Lawson's usual passing ability, he can seize this opportunity.
At this time Matthews chased into the paint area, and the good opportunity had passed.
at the same time.
Kosta Koufos went up to the top of the arc to cover Ty Lawson and blocked Lillard.
Seeing this, Wang Zelin moved his feet at the free throw line, immediately won, and successfully enveloped Ty Lawson.
Ty Lawson didn't have a good chance and turned his head and handed the ball to Wells Chandler.
There was not much time left, and Welles Chandler could only use the emergency stop mid-range shot that he was not used to.
Finally hit the iron with anger!
Mike Roberts protected the backboard and handed the ball to Lillard, and there was a burst of cheers from the scene.
"Fight back!!!"
