"Everyone's performance was very good, but we still can't be careless. Our opponent is the Spurs, and they will not give up the victory so easily."
Returning to the bench, coach Terry Stotts did not hesitate to praise him. He was the one who decided to play Princeton's offensive system, and the pressure on him was greater than anyone else's. He has even thought about it. If the team collapses due to his own decision, he will shoulder the responsibility after the game.
Fortunately, he won the bet with the Trail Blazers!
After Wang Zelin acted as the core of the offensive organization, the results exceeded his expectations, as if he was born for Princeton.
In fact, neither he nor Sima Wei knew that Wang Zelin had once drawn Chris Webber's ability. Although it was only the version of Webber in the twilight years of his career, it was a gold-level star after all.
Just like the star cards he had drawn before, Wang Zelin had studied the game videos and playing styles of the corresponding stars more than once during the integration stage, and his learning speed was far faster than that of ordinary players.
This is the charm of hanging 13!
"Especially Patrick, your defense on Tony Parker exceeded my expectations. Boy, are you ready?"
Immediately afterwards, everyone focused on Beverly, making the latter feel uncomfortable.
"What preparations are you making?" Beverly was slightly startled.
"Haha! Silly boy, of course you are ready to become famous! You have to know that the player you are playing against is Tony Parker, the MVP of the 2007 Finals!"
Matthews stepped forward and rubbed Beverly's head quite kindly.
"Finals mvp?"
Having been fully immersed in the game before, Tony Parker didn't know the shock his defense had brought to the outside world.
After hearing the words of his teammates, he realized that he had actually been entangled with Finals MVP Tony Parker for most of the quarter, and allowed the latter to score no points during this period.
At this time, everyone looked at Beverly with a hint of envy and sincere admiration, but no jealousy.
Bever impressed all his teammates with his crazy-dog defense, and also caught everyone in the Spurs off guard.
Especially Tony Parker, how could he have imagined that a kid who appeared out of nowhere could actually defend himself, which made him unable to adapt for a while.
Presumably after this night, when the two meet again, Tony Parker, who is mentally prepared, will not be as embarrassed as he is now.
However, this is one of the fundamental reasons why role players in the NBA suddenly break out and have brilliant nights from time to time.
Chance is bound to exist sometimes.
Just like the score on the scoreboard at this time:
48:35, the Trail Blazers scored 25 points in 7 minutes, relying on the surprise of Princeton's tactics in the second quarter.
The Spurs never imagined that the Trail Blazers, who were still playing a slow positional battle in the first quarter, would suddenly switch to a flexible and brisk Princeton offensive system that pays great attention to teamwork in the second quarter, which successfully caused them to be completely blindsided by their opponents in the second quarter. .
Presumably Spurs coach Simavici is also thinking of ways to defeat the enemy, but Triest firmly believes that no matter how sophisticated Simavici is, he will not be able to think of a way to restrain the Blazers after a short timeout.
This game has been decided by the Trail Blazers, and...
"Damien, get ready!"
After giving the order, Lillard, who had been sitting on the bench for a while, immediately took off his thermal clothing and shouted excitedly: "Roger that, sir!"
Beep~~~
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Terry Stotts sat on a chair, holding his chin with his fingers clasped: "It's time for you to see the real Princeton!"
If Beverley is placed in front of him at the one position, Terry Stotts is somewhat conservative. After all, the player with the strongest defensive ability in the Blazers is on the court. Once the team fails to attack, he can still fight hard. Defend for a while.
But the results achieved exceeded his expectations.
So, if Lillard is replaced on the court and the Blazers meet Princeton's requirement that "all five players on the court can shoot and pass", how much power will it produce?
Really looking forward to it!
No surprise, the Spurs also put on their strongest lineup: point guard Ginobili, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Paprit.
The French sports car lost most of the quarter due to its mistake of underestimating its opponent. It was a little exhausted and still had to rest off the court for a while.
Fortunately, the team also has another master of organization, Manu Ginobili, and there is nothing wrong with temporarily replacing Tony Parker in charge of team organization.
The only thing you need to worry about is that Ginobili may suddenly become sluggish. Looking back at the wonderful cooperation between the gdp combination, you will find that some particularly wonderful passes and assists were all made by the demon knife...
The reason why Yaodao is Yaodao is not only because of his weird layup steps, but also because of his weird passing.
However, with highlights there are naturally mistakes.
What Sima Weigui was most worried about was that they would hurt themselves if the demon sword was unsheathed.
The Spurs attack first.
After Ginobili came up, he pretended to pick and roll and forcefully passed Lillard. The four giants Wang Zelin, Aldridge, Duncan, and Splitter were all crowded under the basket.
At this time, the normal idea would be to distribute the ball to the outside and look for opportunities to attack. However, Ginobili did not do this. Instead, he kicked the accelerator to the bottom and bombed in like carrying a bag of explosives.
"Asshole! Pass the ball!"
Sima Weiwei instantly became furious and roared crazily. What he was most worried about happened.
However, even under the extremely crowded basket, Ginobili did not panic at all. He twisted his body, showed a weird snake step, deceived Aldridge with a realistic fake move, and then raised the ball with his right hand and sent it to the basket. go.
Don't forget, the Trail Blazers still have the last line of defense-Wang Zelin.
"We can't hide anymore!"
Wang Zelin sneered and stretched out his right hand to block Ginobili.
"Snapped!"
He slapped the backboard with his palm, but the basketball was nowhere to be seen.
Looking again, Ginobili took the ball back to his chest, bumped into Wang Zelin, and the referee's whistle sounded.
"hehe!"
The basketball was already out of my hands before it hit the ground.
Terry Stotts and Sima Weiwei on the sidelines opened their eyes wide and stared at the basketball flying over the South Hall.
"Duang!"
The basketball hit the frame and bounced high. Did Wang Zelin interfere?
Then, under the watchful eyes of coaches from both sides, the basketball rebounded into the net...
"Uh-huh!"
The sound of the net passing through was so clear and sweet that the tens of thousands of Spurs fans at the scene instantly became excited.
"Oh ho ho ho! 2+1! This is a 2+1... Manu used his skillful layup to teach this young man another hard lesson."
Kenny Smith roared excitedly.
"What a pity! Wang has done well enough, so who wants his opponent to be Jordan?"
Hearing Barkley's explanation, the fans laughed knowingly.
Can't you?
I really don’t think of “20 Minutes Jordan” as Jordan!
"Hmph! Jordan?"
Standing on both sides of the free throw line, Wang Zelin snorted in displeasure when he heard Barkley's praise of Ginobili.
No matter who he is, in front of me he is like a dragon coiled up or a tiger lying down.
"Uh-huh!"
48:38.
With Ginobili making a free throw, it came to the Trail Blazers' round.
Lillard passed to Wang Zelin, and Wang Zelin caught the ball sideways and threw it directly to the basket without stopping.
The next moment, Matthews under the basket bumped Danny Green, jumped up to catch the ball, faked a move to trick his opponent into taking off, and scored a goal off the board.
At 50:38, the score difference widened again.
"A stroke of genius! Have you counted Yu Jia? How many assists does Zelin have now?" Zhang Lili laughed.
"Let me take a look," Yu Jia took the watch handed over by the staff, looked down and exclaimed, "Fuck!"
"7! King has sent out 7 assists, and personally scored 14 points. If 1 assist is replaced by 2 points - that is to say, of the 50 points scored by the Trail Blazers, 29 points are the same as King About...what an impact this has on the game!”
"What about the rebound?"
Zhang Lili asked hurriedly.
"Well..." Yu Jia lowered his head and looked: "There are also 7 rebounds!"
"Looking at it this way, the king has a solid triple-double tonight, and he has only played less than half a game!"
After learning the detailed data, Zhang Lili was not in a hurry. He pretended to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the competition below with a smile.
Yu Jia said: "Yes, in the game against the Nuggets, the king was only two assists away from getting his second triple-double of the new season, which made many domestic fans feel very regretful. It should be stable today, right?"
The comment area suddenly became anxious:
Netizen Lu Renjia: "Fuck! Don't give it to grandma!"
Netizen Song Binyi said: "That's right! If Yang Yi didn't have that 13-year-old bitch last time, how could the king be short of 2 assists?"
Netizen Zhang San: "..."
Trail Blazers offense.
It was Ginobili again, passing through the penalty area, taking advantage of the continuous screens from his teammates, running to the left corner to get an open opportunity, and hit a long two-pointer.
"Ginobili's touch and pace, tsk tsk tsk, the Blazers really can't be careless!" Zhang Lili shook his head and sighed.
"He is one of the most difficult breakthrough players in the NBA. Otherwise, there would be no saying that he would look at the demon sword in desperate situations, hahaha!" Zhang Liyi said.
But judging from his expression, the old man wasn't too worried.
Looking back, the Trail Blazers attacked and Aldridge hit a two-pointer.
The Spurs attacked, Ginobili made a fake shot and passed the ball, assisting Duncan to hit the hook at the basket.
"It's going crazy again!"
Kenny Smith spat.
"I always feel that Manu just restrained the Trail Blazers..."
Buckley stopped mid-sentence.
Definitely Smith cooperated: "Oh, how do you say it?"
"Let's talk about the state with the ball first. Manu is obviously in hot form today. His snake-shaped breakthrough was under the basket and even caused a foul by Wang Zelin. Let's talk about the state without the ball. Manu's running position and ability to use teammates are too strong. .
Through repeated movement and pulling, he can always pull away the Blazers' free throws. Coupled with his extremely high basketball IQ, his teammates can inadvertently provide him with cover help, thereby getting open shots. There is no way to defend against such a demon sword. "
Barkley was quick to make his point.
As a result, instead of agreeing, Kenny Smith laughed out loud: "Did you forget, Charles? He is Jordan!"
"It's just because he is Jordan that he is great..." At this point, Barkley suddenly paused, understood something, and stopped talking.
outside the venue.
Simavici looked at Ginobili on the court worriedly.
Just like what Smith and Charles Barkley said, he had long noticed that Ginobili had some restraint, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who had not yet completely perfected the Princeton system, gave the Spurs hope of winning.
But he still didn't change his worried look.
It's true that Ginobili, who is in excellent form, belongs to Jordan, but after all, he does not have the terrifying physical strength of the real Jordan. This style of play will not last long.
Fortunately, there was not much time left in the second quarter.
Near the end of the half, Ginobili used a low pick-and-roll screen to stretch even the Trail Blazers' interior defense. Finally, he got a wide open space on the right wing and scored a three-pointer.
At 54:45, the point difference was only 9 points.
In other words, in the last three minutes of the second quarter, Ginobili led the Spurs to 10 points, and he scored 8 points and 1 assist.
In this wave of offensive confrontation, the Trail Blazers fell behind and only scored 6 points.
But overall, coach Terry Stotts is quite satisfied with the performance of his players in this quarter.
Facing a team like the Spurs, they could score 31 points in a single quarter and lead by 9 points at the beginning. At the highest point, the lead reached 13 points. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
The live broadcast seat of the imperial court.
"I never expected that Zelin's switch to playing the core role would actually bring about such a huge change in the Blazers! In my opinion, his organizational skills and overall view are not much worse than Chris Webber of the Kings back then."
Zhang Lili smiled.
"At halftime, the King has made 5 of 7 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block. Although he only blocked 1 shot, he had so many assists today, and he has the most assists in the team."
Yu Jia sighed again.
"Yu Jia, have you noticed? Just after the change of the king's tactical status, the Blazers' offensive efficiency and game flow are much higher than before. Do you think Christos may let the team in the future?" Do you want to fight like this?"
Zhang Lili asked.
"It's hard to say," Yu Jia shook his head first and added: "Today is the first appearance of their Princeton system after all. It can be said that they caught the opponent by surprise. If the Spurs were prepared, they would not be able to defeat the opponent in one quarter. Scored 35 points so much.
However, if they can ensure that this performance is not an exception, from a fan's perspective, I would love to see the Blazers change. "
Zhang Liji nodded and said: "Yes, this style of play is not only comfortable for the players, but also comfortable for the fans. I really hope they can continue to play like this."
The half-time break is over and the game continues.
The Spurs were led by Tony Parker, and the remaining players include point forward Belinelli, small forward French magician Diaw, power forward Jeff Ayers, and center Aron Baynes.
The pioneers.
Led by Lillard and Wang Zelin, these two super-resistant young people are ready to play the entire game.
In addition, the shooting guard is Connett Lee, the small forward is Will Barton, and the power forward is Yi Jianlian.
This style of play is destined to be detrimental to Garnett, and the old man doesn't care. He watches the young people playing on the court like a Buddha, and he still sighs in his heart: It feels like you can win (take) the ball (money) while lying down - it's so good!
Easy side to fight again.
The Spurs served from the baseline and Tony Parker advanced to the frontcourt.
As soon as they came up, Tony Parker and Diaw played a two-man game. Somehow the latter came to the three-point line and hit a three-pointer with a knife.
The Spurs hit a three-pointer immediately, 54:48, narrowing the point difference again.
"Ho ho ho!!!"
The Spurs home fans burst into cheers and applause.
"My mine!"
Will Barton raised his right hand and apologized quickly.
"That fat French guy has a three-point range. Remember not to stay too far away from him."
Will Barton was indeed the one to take the blame for this goal. There was no doubt that Wang Zelin simply said a word and left.
As for serving the baseline ball.
Of course, General Patton, who got into trouble, came to take action.
The main lineup is missing three players. Now only Lillard and Wang Zelin have reliable organizational skills on the field. Yi Jianlian, Connett Lee, and Will Barton are not the main players who can pass the ball. The power of Princeton's offensive body has dropped instantly.
However, the most important center is still there, and Princeton can continue to play.
Anyway, both sides have main players and substitutes. Wang Zelin doesn't think he will be worse than the Spurs.
Duncan is no longer the defender. Wang Zelin chooses his own low-post attack. Baynes wants to use the trick of withdrawing from the bench. Wang Zelin refuses to take advantage of the situation. He turns around and scores the ball with a hook.
"Man, you're not Tim, you'd better ask your teammates to join you, or that fat French guy."
There is no need to face Duncan's ice face for the time being. After scoring, Wang Zelin made a joke.
Baynes' ability to withstand pressure is not as strong as Duncan's. He glared at Wang Zelin slyly, lowered his head to pick up the ball and sent it to the baseline.
Next round.
Diaw held the ball high, and Tony Parker suddenly crossed from the left wing into the penalty area.
At the same time, Belinelli, who was low on the right wing, suddenly pulled towards the bottom corner.
One movement to the left and one to the right, like two big hands tearing the Trail Blazers' defense in half.
However, most of the Trail Blazers' defensive attention was attracted by Tony Parker, and some ignored Belinelli.
Including Will Barton, who changed defense, he realized that he was a beat slower after he realized that he had lost track.
At this time, Tony Parker's pass arrived.
In the bottom corner of the right wing, at the zero-angle three-point line, the Italian gunner took the ball.
"Uh-huh!"
The water splashed and the three points were taken away.
At 56:51, the Spurs' pursuit of points was a bit too fast.
Beep~~~
Coach Terry Stotts called a timeout.
Without any hesitation, he shouted directly: "Split, you come on and replace Will. Your task is to keep an eye on Tony Parker on the defensive end. I'll disgust him to death."
"No problem, Mr. Stotts!"
Beverly, who had been chewing gum on the bench for a long time, stood up. In his excitement, he accidentally swallowed the gum in his mouth.
The game continues.
Trail Blazers offense.
When Tony Parker saw Trail Blazers No. 3 taking the initiative to entangle himself, he suddenly felt a headache.
Why is it you again?
Just as he was stunned, a loud noise came from the penalty area, accompanied by the referee's whistle.
Looking back, he was completely stunned.
Trail Blazers No. 36 hung his hands on the basket, and his substitute center Baynes lay on the ground covering his head.
Through the replay on the big screen, Baynes found that when Wang Zelin was in the process of cutting in, he wanted to pull someone away when he found that he couldn't guard him. As a result, he was knocked to the ground as soon as he touched Wang Zelin.
In the end, not only did the foul fail, but the Blazers No. 36 also scored 2+1.
After landing, Wang Zelin, who appeared to be the criminal, looked at Baynes on the ground with a cold expression: "I told you before, you should ask your teammates to come with you! Also, put away those despicable methods as soon as possible, otherwise you will be killed next time. It’s not that easy to stand up.”
"Uh-huh!"
The three-pointer was successful.
Spurs attack.
The effect of Beverley's appearance was immediate, and Tony Parker was not so easy to charge.
Finally, the pass was passed to power forward Jeff Ayers. The shot under the basket was interfered by Yi Jianlian. Wang Zelin collected the rebound and immediately passed the ball long.
Lillard caught the ball, made a fake pass in the frontcourt in a 2-on-1, and assisted Connett Lee, who was on the right wing at the 45-degree three-point line. The latter also made a move and helped the team hit the first goal since the third quarter. Three points.
Wang Zelin and Connett Li scored 6 points together, the scoreboard became 62:51, and the score difference between the two sides reached 10 points.
Now, it was the Spurs' turn to call a timeout.
The timeout ended, and the Trail Blazers saw Duncan and Leonard return to the court.
As a result, the opponent has one more main player on the field than the Trail Blazers.
Tristes originally planned to call a timeout in the next round and also prepared to replace the main force, but he quickly put away this plan.
Because in the next round of the Spurs, Duncan, who came back after a long rest, no longer had the touch he had at the start, so he hit the mid-range shot.
Looking back at the Trail Blazers, Lillard quickly advanced to the right wing of the frontcourt and stopped directly outside the three-point line.
"Pay attention to that number 0!"
Simavici on the sidelines was shocked and angry, and glared at Tony Parker, "Where is the person you are facing?"
"Can't make a shot! Can't make a shot..."
Spurs fans chanted.
"Uh-huh!"
The result was a splash of water.
The difference was 14 points, the largest point difference in this game.
"Damian Lillard's chasing three-pointer hurt the Spurs' morale!"
Yu Jiadao.
"This means you give me a foot, and I will give you a foot! The Spurs just shot two three-pointers in front, and they thought they were going to reverse it, but the Trail Blazers also scored two three-pointers. The Spurs are going to be miserable. !”
Zhang Lili smiled.
Yu Jia glanced over: Director Zhang, Teacher Zhang, the live broadcast is happening, watch your face! The team's tendency is to finish the job too badly!
Spurs attack.
The ball was given to Duncan, who was most confident.
Unfortunately, including the 15-minute break in the first half, Duncan rested for nearly 20 minutes, and his hand has already cooled down.
This is the tragedy of veterans. Whether it is physical fitness or maintenance of competitive status, they are far behind what they were when they were young.
If this nearly 40-year-old veteran wasn't called Tim Duncan, he would no longer be able to play in the NBA.
Looking at NBA history, there are a few people who can maintain a stable firepower of around 15+10 at the age of 37.
Very few!
When Duncan hit the iron for three consecutive rounds, Simavici knew that the game had gone far.
It seems that Tim will have to rest again in the next game... No, not just Tim, Manu and Tony will also have to be together.
Not even halfway through the third quarter, Sima Weici had already foreseen the team's outcome and was still thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.
Poor Utahns couldn't enjoy a moment of peace in the last two months of his tenure.
