In the live broadcast of Tianchao Sports, Zhang Lili analyzed: "Oh, the situation is not good! The Nuggets have been running and playing tonight, Ty Lawson, Andre Iguodala, Wilson Chandler The coordination is really strong, and the fast attack is very sharp!”
"Teacher Zhang, what changes do you think the Trail Blazers will make?" Yu Jia asked.
"In the first half, the Jazz used fast-break counterattack tactics to beat the Trail Blazers out of reach. In addition, Lillard, the main point guard of King and Trail Blazers, is probably playing in the playoffs for the first time and has not yet adapted to the referee's lack of standards. .
Especially Lillard, we can see through several shots that after his opponent made a mistake due to his close defense, he did not return to defense immediately, but questioned the referee. This is very inappropriate. "Zhang Lili said.
"Indeed, this is a common problem for newcomers. How long do you think it will take for them to get over it?" Yu Jia said.
"It will definitely not take long. Talented players like them have the ability to adapt to the game far beyond ordinary people. Although they are so-so now, I believe that after the start of the second half, the king will definitely get back to his form!" Zhang Li smiled. road.
He didn't say anything: Compared to Lillard, Wang Zelin will definitely be the first to find his form. Even if the offense cannot find it temporarily, the defense will definitely be able to find it.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Rose Garden Arena became quiet, and the atmosphere seemed unusually solemn.
Lillard dribbled the ball across the center line as quickly as possible, and Ty Lawson rushed up to block the position, causing the former's speed to drop immediately.
At this time, all his teammates were already in position, and Nuggets center Kosta Koufos quickly found Wang Zelin, denying the latter a chance to catch the ball.
Batum and Matthews stayed on the wings, Iguodala and Evan Fournier followed closely, and the four were entangled.
"Lock the opponent!" George Karl yelled from the sidelines.
At the top of the arc, Ty Lawson, who scored 13 points and led the team by a big score, was about to talk trash, but he looked at the Blazers No. 0 in front of him and suddenly lost interest.
Really, how come so many young players today have learned from the Spurs' No. 21 pick and have top-notch performance and management skills.
Lillard was forced to take two steps back by Ty Lawson's header, then gritted his teeth, strode laterally, came to the free throw line, and passed the ball to Aldridge, who cut into the paint.
After two quarters, Aldridge made 7 of 13 shots and scored a team-high 15 points. He explained what it means to be a big brother. It was natural for Lillard to pass it to him.
George Karl's current lineup is one senior and four juniors. Power forward Wilson Chandler is only 2.03 meters tall. The advantages of this lineup are obvious, such as strong mobility and quick defense changes; the disadvantages are also prominent. During positional warfare, the interior defense is average and it is difficult to guard against people.
When George Karl thought about it, except for Aldridge, the other players on the Trail Blazers were in average condition, so he put together this lineup of strong offense and weak defense. While doing a good job of attacking, he focused on the other four players and let Aldridge shoot alone. , if he can throw himself to death, he loses.
This is one of the reasons why Aldridge is so efficient in this game. You must know that this is the playoffs!
When Wilson Chandler saw Aldridge cutting in, he immediately took a step and stood between his opponent and the Nuggets basket.
Aldridge also saw Wilson Chandler, but he showed no intention of restraining himself. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the front line of defense.
Let a short man of 2.03 meters guard me, who am I looking down on!
Before Wang Zelin came, Aldridge had been the boss of the Trail Blazers for several years. Even now, he has not really abdicated. At this moment, what he is thinking is: Let the eldest brother lead you to win!
"There was a confrontation. LaMarcus attacked the Nuggets' defensive area. First of all, his efficiency has always been good. He should...oh, he was blocked!" In the Rose Garden Arena, Chris Webber's commentary filled the room. field.
Just in the middle of the conversation, Aldridge's layup was blocked by Iguodala who came from the side and bounced off the backboard.
"snort!"
At this moment, Wilson Chandler, who was about to grab the board, groaned in pain. His body weighing more than 100 kilograms flew away at the sound, and then fell heavily to the ground and slid for several meters.
what happened?
who I am? where am I? What am I doing?
With doubts on his face, Wilson Chandler looked up and saw a player wearing the Trail Blazers' No. 30 jersey hanging on the basket.
Wang Zelin's incredible extra dunk!
"wang! wang!..."
The Rose Garden Arena immediately gave Wang Zelin a warm cheer.
"Huhu...ahem...is he a monster?"
Wilson Chandler lay on the floor unable to get up for a while, his chest heaved violently, and he felt like his back was about to be broken!
The devil from the east!
I dislike him!
"Is it okay!"
Iguodala quickly stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and helped his teammates up.
"Phew, it's okay! You know what? Man, I almost thought I was going to die just now!" Wilson Chandler comforted himself with lingering fear.
"..."
The Nuggets attacked, Ty Lawson's sudden assist was blocked, and it was Trail Blazers No. 36 who blocked Costa Koufos' dunk under the basket with a slap.
Turning his head, Aldridge was not cutting, but he caught the ball in the low post and hit Wilson Chandler's head to score a goal.
Aldridge is in surprisingly good form.
Strangely enough, since the new century, every star player who has led the Trail Blazers into the playoffs, unless they are injured, normally their performance is no worse than in the regular season, or even better.
From the Yellow Mamba Brandon Roy to LaMarcus Aldridge, and then to Damian Lillard in the future, their playoff status is very good, and none of them is weak.
"Karl, we should change our formation."
George Karl's assistant coach suggested on the sidelines.
"Don't worry, just play with them again."
George Karl shook his head. The point difference was still 11 points, and Aldridge was the only one in the Trail Blazers who was really playing well. On his side, all the members performed well. Between the one and the other, he did not believe in the team. Will be tied so quickly.
"All right!"
The boss said so, and the assistant coach could only nod, but his eyes suddenly focused on Trail Blazers No. 30.
He had an inexplicable feeling that in these two rounds of offense and defense, Trail Blazers No. 30 was the one who deserved more attention, not Aldridge.
Then he looked at Wang Zelin's data.
7 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block... maybe I am overthinking it.
The Nuggets continue to attack.
Iguodala attacks the inside. As a physically fit man among the league's strikers, once he is allowed to charge, he is almost unstoppable.
However, such a strong man was served by a bloody hat.
It turned out that Wang Zelin, who was on the low right wing, saw that something was not going well. After roughly opening Chris Koufos, he rushed over and captured Iguodala's dunk.
After being disturbed, the basketball in Iguodala's hand was instantly released, hitting the neck of the basket and rebounding violently upwards.
The next moment, four or five big men instantly filled the crowded three-second zone, and everyone stared at the ball in the sky.
"Through the replay, we can see that it was the King who touched the ball, and he once again blocked the Nuggets' offense!"
Yu Jia roared excitedly.
"Snapped!"
In the end, Wang Zelin, who had superior height, wingspan, and jumping, took the lead in touching the basketball and flicked the ball to the outside in the air...
"Oops!"
George Karl's heart tightened, he stood up and shouted: "Stop standing there stupidly, get back on defense quickly!"
The basketball flew in the direction of Batum. After receiving the ball, Batum went for a fast break and assisted Lillard from outside the three-point line for an alley-oop dunk.
"Damien Leigh Ladd!!!"
The host DJ screamed loudly.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time in this year's playoffs that a team has contributed alley-oops to everyone! The Trail Blazers are truly the new generation's Sky City!"
Reggie Miller laughed.
"Although it may be an offense to the Clippers for you to say that, I still think it's okay." Chris Webber said.
"It's 9 points. Let me just say that Wang and Damien are as talented as me. They will definitely get back to their competitive state. It's exactly what I expected." McGrady showed a steady smile.
Domestically, Trail Blazers fans who watched the game began to regroup.
"Did you see it? What does it mean to be the overlord of the restricted area! The king is it!"
"I'm a good boy and I blocked two shots in a row. Is the king ready to rise up?"
"What are you talking about upstairs? Isn't my brother Wang always very strong?"
"You are so stupid! You idiot is just a brush in the regular season. In the playoffs, he has a younger brother, and he is also the new rebounding champion. Have you ever seen any rebounding leader only have 5 rebounds in the third quarter? The main point Look good."
"If you ask me, Wang Ersi is not as good as Yao Dashu back then. Yao Dashu had better not be able to get it. At least he can still score some points. Look at Wang Zelin and his Wangbo, what are they asking for? , bragging about first place.”
"That's right. It's all nonsense to say that you are considering your opponents for the next round!"
For a time, there was a bloody storm in the domestic forum post bars. What Wang Fan and Wang Hei did was a bit like the "Emperor Bar Expedition" in the future.
However, Wang Zelin and his teammates quickly responded to other voices with real-time actions.
At the 9th minute, the Trail Blazers were only three points behind the Nuggets 61:64. Now they only need a three-pointer to get back the score.
Lillard was about to transfer to Wang Zelin, but the latter immediately shook his head, and Lillard turned his attention to other teammates.
So far in the third quarter, Wang Zelin has scored 7 points, plus 4 rebounds and 2 blocks. He is the biggest contributor to the team's pursuit of points, so the Nuggets have focused a lot of attention on him. At this time Choosing singles is not very wise.
Looking around, Lillard saw that his teammates' offensive space was being defended, so he had no choice but to do it himself and waved to Aldridge. After the two started a pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle from the left three-point line, Lillard passed Ty Lawson launched an attack in an instant.
But Lillard still underestimated the team chemistry of the Nuggets players. Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler quickly switched defenses. The latter took a position early, but Lillard failed to rush forward.
But that's just right. He didn't plan to get into the paint anyway... Two points don't matter, he wants to fight for three points!
Feint breakthrough + back pull, the whole process was completed in one go. The moment Lillard put his right foot back outside the three-point line, he took a decisive shot.
Wilson Chandler's defense changes were in place, but he still did not restrict Lillard's shooting space.
In other words, he never thought in his heart that a mere rookie would dare to make such a bold move on the big stage of the playoffs.
The Trail Blazers' previous pursuit of points has always been 2-point, 2-point pursuit, and they haven't even made a three-pointer!
The eyes of Trail Blazers fans rushed past Lillard, always fixed on the orange basketball flying in the air.
Can I get in?
However, the result was...duang~The basketball bounced out of the basket!
Damn it, my rhythm is obviously fine, how could I not make it?
Lillard roared crazily in his heart. If the team's momentum of chasing points comes to an abrupt end because of this missed goal, then he will be the biggest sinner in tonight's game.
"That's it! I missed the three-pointer. Get the rebound!"
The moment the Trail Blazers hit the ground running, Zhang Lili shouted nervously.
"Look, it's the King again, he takes off... Damn it! He grabbed this precious offensive rebound!"
Yu Jia on the side noticed something and immediately shouted.
"Damien!"
As soon as he landed, he heard a familiar sound coming from the paint area. Before he could think about it, the basketball roared towards him.
"Snapped!"
Lillard subconsciously caught the ball and found that Wilson Chandler was facing away from him, probably on his way to grab the rebound.
Bend your knees, lift the ball, take off, shake your wrists... Finally, the wonderful "swish" sound came through the net!
64:64, the score equalized!
Beep~
George Karl decisively called a timeout, opened his mouth and kept mumbling...
Farke!
Shet!
Shit!
You can be caught up with such a big point difference, are you pigs?
At this time, all the fans were uniform, leaving only two voices.
"wang! wang..."
"Damien! Damien..."
Lens replay.
The rebound just mentioned Wang Zelin's area of contention, and he took it back without mercy. However, the Belgian Nuggets' Costa Koufos and Iguodala quickly formed a close double-team on Wang Zelin, leaving no room for independent attacks. .
Fortunately, Wang Zelin was keenly aware that Wilson Chandler immediately turned around at the moment of hitting the iron, trying to join the rush for rebounds, so he quickly released the ball and passed it back to Lillard.
Lillard did not disappoint everyone again, and steadily hit a wide-open three-pointer to help the team equalize the score.
"Oh! Audience friends let us scream. The Trail Blazers have filled the 15-point gap and they are back on the road to victory!" McGrady's voice immediately rang.
At this moment, McGrady looked at Wang Zelin with admiration.
If the Trail Blazers can win this game, the influence of that meme on themselves will definitely be washed away a lot.
For many years, he has been paying for the frivolity of his youth.
"It's a pity that Wang Zelin is not an outside shooter, so I don't have the opportunity to personally teach him what no-solution dry pull is!"
What does one look at for ten thousand years?
This is!
No one expected that in just a few seconds, McGrady would think of the process of teaching Wang Zelin the dry pull technique step by step in another parallel world.
