At the beginning of the game, Wang Zelin won the jump ball and the Trail Blazers attacked.
Then quickly rushed to the basket.
The player we will face tonight is the famous Brazilian movie star Varejao, and Wang Zelin knows him well. I still remember that when he played against the Cavaliers for the first time in his rookie year, he suffered some hidden losses when facing Varejao.
It’s hard not to be impressed. This guy only played 25 games last season, averaging 14.1 points, 14.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. His double 14+ data made him expected to be selected for the Eastern Conference at first. All-star ranks.
Unfortunately, he later developed pulmonary thrombosis symptoms and was directly absent from all the remaining games of the Cavaliers. This was a pity for many fans at the time.
Varejao's condition has declined significantly after returning from injury this season, but he is still able to steadily contribute 8 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in every game. He is still an indispensable member of the Cavaliers' lineup.
Faced with a guy whose functions tend to be blue-collar and whose acting skills are exceptionally good, Wang Zelin was even more vigilant tonight than usual.
After suffering a torn Achilles tendon in his right ankle in 2011, Varejao's movement speed was affected. How could he keep up with Wang Zelin?
Cavaliers power forward TT followed up and ran with him, pulling on Wang Zelin's jersey with his hands, but he didn't dare to really get close to him.
At this time, Lillard came over and actively sought a pick-and-roll.
Wang Zelin changed lanes and rushed towards the top of the arc. Seeing Varejao guarding him, he immediately accelerated and changed direction.
"Bang!"
In the collision between the two forces, Wang Zelin still had the absolute upper hand.
After this collision, Varejao staggered back a few small steps with his 226 kilogram body, while Wang Zelin accelerated again, drove straight into the penalty area.
Lillard passes the ball.
Wang Zelin quickly broke away from TT's pull and jumped to grab the ball.
At this time, TT must not only follow Wang Zelin, but also look back from time to time to pay attention to whether the ball has been passed. When he is doing two things, how can he react as quickly as Wang Zelin?
"boom!"
The opening alley-oop was dunked hard, and the rim made a dull hum while Quicken Loans Arena fell silent.
"Beautiful! The king's performance moment has begun. He came up and used a space dunk to kick off the battle."
Chris Webber laughed in the ESPN commentary box.
"Hurry up and serve!"
Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown yelled from the sidelines.
TT immediately picked up the ball and ran outside the baseline to serve.
"Get back to defense quickly!"
Not to be outdone, Coach Terry also shouted from the sidelines.
Like shouting from a distance, the passion displayed by the head coaches of both sides quickly infected every player on the field.
Lillard had just returned to defense, and Irving suddenly accelerated and changed direction from outside the three-point line, and made an emergency stop jumper from the right corner of the paint area.
"Uh-huh!"
The water splashed and hit two points.
The whole set of movements is clean and neat, without any sloppiness.
Aldridge didn't waste a moment and immediately bent down to pick up the ball.
TT hurried up and stopped Aldridge from making a quick shot.
"Hey! It's full of gunpowder. Will the Cavaliers choose to press at the beginning?"
In the ESPN commentary box, another commentator, Schkepp Bayless, chuckled.
At this time, Aldridge stood on the baseline and moved left and right, observing the positions of his teammates with both eyes. He soon saw Wang Zelin in the frontcourt running back. He passed the center circle and was about to reach the three-point line. Aldridge took a step back. , threw it hard and threw a very high long pass.
"Oh ho ho ho! Now that the request is in the king's hands, the show is about to begin again!"
Weber shouted excitedly.
It is Varejao who is defending again, and yes, although his mid-range has improved over the years, it is only in the mid-range. If he leaves the low post and goes a little further, he has almost no scoring ability.
And what he relies on for survival in the NBA is defense after all!
"King, let me see how powerful you are!"
While Varejao was on defense, he was talking trash. When he turned around, he quietly pinched Wang Zelin's left waist.
"hiss!"
The force of the attack made Wang Zhelin's eyes widen instantly, and his momentum suddenly slowed down.
MMP, I didn’t even think about playing dirty tricks, but you, an old boy, are actually playing dirty tricks? It depends on whether I kill you or not!
Then, Wang Zelin quickly handed the ball to Batum, who was at a 45-degree angle on the right-wing three-point line, and rushed towards Varejao with all his strength.
"Just in time!"
After seeing Wang Zelin coming, Varejao did not dodge or dodge, but leaned forward out of habit. From the looks of it, he was ready to go back to his old business.
They say I am the Brazilian best actor, and I will show it to you today.
Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, Varejao smiled so proudly that he didn't even notice the fierceness on the former's face.
"ah!"
Just when the two bodies were about to come into contact, Varejao screamed at the right moment and was about to fall back. However, Wang Zelin's left shoulder suddenly pushed upwards, hitting Varejao's chin... …
"ah!!!"
Another scream came, and this time the sound was obviously much louder.
"Beep~"
The referee's whistle sounded.
Originally, the referee was not prepared to call Varejao the first time. After all, Varejao had countless criminal records, but when the latter's second scream sounded particularly real, the referee instantly realized: he encountered a hard blow. Trouble!
"oh!"
Quicken Loans Arena erupted into huge cheers
In the eyes of the fans, this was a successful performance by Varejao.
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Varejao lying motionless on the floor, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and everyone was stunned.
When did the Brazilian actor become so dedicated?
No, everyone quickly realized, where is this acting? It was obvious that he had really been violated!
"Shh!"
Immediately, shocking boos came like waves.
The referee quickly came over to check the situation and found that Varejao's eyes were white and he had obviously fainted from the pain of being hit hard.
"Beep beep beep..."
The referee reacted instinctively and blew his whistle continuously, and the medical staff on the sidelines rushed over.
Players from both sides also ran over.
The benches of both sides also stood up.
"Things are going big!"
Terry Stotts and Mike Brown felt a sudden pinch in their hearts as they realized something was wrong.
"NO!"
The whole audience suddenly exclaimed.
"Walter?"
"what happened?"
In the commentary box, two ESPN commentators stared at each other in confusion.
At the scene of the incident, with the help of TT and Rolton, Varejao was moved onto a stretcher.
"Oh, mygod!"
In the stands, some timid spectators had covered their eyes with their hands.
First, there was a pool of blood on the floor. What was even more horrifying was that Varejao’s chin was already purple and the lower part of his face was stained red with blood, which looked particularly oozing.
"Quick, get to the hospital!"
After checking the throat pipe, it was still smooth, so Varejao was hurriedly taken off the field.
"Expulsion! Expulsion..."
A deafening sound erupted from the scene. At this time, tens of thousands of Cavaliers fans in the stands wanted to kill Wang Zelin.
"He is an executioner! He should be sent to jail!"
There were also some radical fans who threw drinks bottles, popcorn and other items onto the field.
But after all, Wang Zelin is the one that the league is currently favoring. Of course, it is impossible to expel him from the game due to the pressure of some off-field factors.
The referee and the two linesmen came to the technical table and they chose to watch the replay.
"oh!"
Through the replay, everyone saw that before Wang Zelin came into contact with Varejao, the latter had an obvious movement of leaning forward, which meant that his original intention was to touch porcelain!
In the end, the referee gave a penalty, a first-level flagrant foul, and Wang Zelin did not need to be expelled for the time being.
"Shet! Black whistle, this is a black whistle!"
When the results came out, there were loud boos again at Quicken Loans Center.
The overall strength of the Cavaliers is not as good as that of the Trail Blazers, and they are missing a general at the beginning. This makes the fans not worry about the next game.
Therefore, they wished that Wang Zelin would be expelled on the spot.
