The game continued, and neither side made substitutions. The Spurs still had GDP + Leonard and Love, while the Trail Blazers had the starting five.
When they came back, the Spurs gave the ball to Love in the paint. Love singled out Aldridge in the paint, turned around and made a little hook, and the ball went in.
To be honest, in the game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, the one who can keep up with the matchup, or even have a slight advantage, is Leonard, and the other is undoubtedly Love.
Because he was too stubborn before and had to go head-to-head with Wang Zelin, Love's efficiency was a little lower.
And when he adjusted his mentality, he no longer paid attention to Wang Zelin's trash talk. As one of the top power forwards currently in service, Aldridge really couldn't do anything against Love one-on-one.
At best, it means that they can compete with Love on the offensive end, and the two can be regarded as a hedge.
If Love didn't have this strength, how could he cause a wave of turmoil across the league after applying for a trade?
However, although Love scored directly with a hook when he came on, it was still not enough.
When it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, Lillard broke through and scored, assisting Batum for a three-pointer.
Batum, who had been waiting for almost two quarters, faced this very good shot opportunity and did not miss it again.
The fourth three-point shot of the game was made steadily and successfully passed into the basket.
59:45.
When the outside line showed up, the Blazers' next wave of offense was really powerful!
The continuous three-pointers from the outside were not purely a problem of the Spurs defensive players, but more because the Trail Blazers gradually gained touch and confidence from the outside under Wang Zelin's constant feeding.
For more than a minute, the Spurs focused on tactics and sought success rates. The team scored 7 points, which was quite efficient.
Perhaps because of their nearly 20-point lead, the Trail Blazers players played more relaxedly and were not under as much pressure as their opponents.
Especially the outside players, they shoot with confidence. Anyway, today Wang Zelin turned into a rebounding maniac, and the Spurs inside players, including Love, did not have good rebounding data!
Halftime is over.
The score on the court was 68:52.
Among the Trail Blazers' 68 points, Wang Zelin "only" scored 14 points. Tonight's offensive desire was indeed average.
But in terms of rebounds, he grabbed 16 rebounds in the first half, which was higher than his scoring data, including 9 offensive rebounds. This can no longer be said to be crazy, it is simply inhuman.
You know, the entire Spurs team only got 13 rebounds in the first half, and Wang Zelin alone had 3 more rebounds than the entire Spurs team.
Except for Wang Zelin, who scored 14+16 at halftime, the Blazers' best outside player was Lillard. Lillard scored 15 points in the first half of the game, plus 6 assists and 1 steal. It was obvious that he was working hard for a double-double.
In addition, Aldridge also scored 9 points, Batum and Button scored 6 points each.
The starting five scored 50 points together, and the remaining 18 points came from the bench.
After coming off the court, the Trail Blazers players returned to the locker room talking and laughing.
In contrast, the atmosphere on the Spurs side is much gloomier.
Sima Wei knew very well that the Trail Blazers, who led by 16 points at halftime, would most likely continue this advantage until the end of the game as usual in the second half!
According to statistics, the Trail Blazers were the team with the smallest number of overturns last season.
Of course, this is also because the Blazers themselves lose very rarely.
At the same time, the Blazers' game rhythm is quite stable, and their offense and defense are relatively stable. This is also a major reason.
Against such an impeccable team, it's no wonder that Simavici scratched his head in worry. It was really worrying about his thinning hair.
The intermission ended and the second half began.
In the third quarter, as everyone imagined, the Trail Blazers steadily protected the team's lead. Although the Spurs tried hard to recover the score, they were unable to reduce the score to Within ten points.
That's it, until the third quarter of the game, the time is about to end, and there is only one minute left.
At this time, the score on the court was 92:80, and the point difference was still ten points away. The Spurs' momentum for chasing points had been almost wiped out.
But at such a critical moment, there were signs of success in chasing points.
At this time, both sides were playing half as main players and half as substitutes. On the Trail Blazers' side, Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Aldridge took a break, and sent out a double-NBA combination and a combination of Beverley, Yi Jianlian, and Jokic.
On the Spurs side, Ginobili is playing with a lineup of Diaw, Kevin Martin, David West, and Mills.
The Trail Blazers failed to score on one of their attempts, and Jokic missed a layup.
At this time, Diaw grabbed the rebound inside, and then quickly dribbled the ball past halftime and then outside the three-point line.
Ginobili, who was outside the three-point line on the right, seemed to have to wait for his teammates to break half court before launching an attack.
However, Barton, who was guarding Ginobili, did not relax. However, while he needed to pay attention to the Spurs players following up in the middle, he also had to pay attention to guarding Ginobili's shots.
After Dio followed up, Barton had to pay more attention.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ginobili moved directly to the right for a moment, and then Diaw quickly distributed the ball. After receiving the ball, Ginobili made a decisive long shot.
Patton quickly stepped forward to block the shot, but unfortunately it was too late. The ball flew past Patton's fingers and flew to the basket. Although it flew very slowly in the air, it finally entered the basket smoothly.
After scoring this three-pointer and recording the proportional score, the data has become 18 points. At the same time, the gap between the two sides has been narrowed to single digits.
The Spurs quickly defended and the Trail Blazers attacked.
After returning to defense, there were 58 seconds left in the third quarter.
Diaw on the inside shouted, constantly boosting morale: "Put this ball down, drop this ball, guard them to death!"
Perhaps due to Diaw's yelling, the Spurs' morale has indeed improved. All players were very active when defending this time.
Beverley was pressed by Mills just after halftime, and Mills kept looking for opportunities to intercept the ball.
However, Beverley's ability to go from being a prodigal son wandering in Europe to being part of the winning puzzle of today's quasi-dynasty team is enough to prove his ability.
Of course he can't compare with star players, but for a small player like Bill, it's not difficult for him.
After several attempts, Mills finally failed to grab Beverley's ball, but he did not lose his defensive position.
Beverley and Jokic cooperated in a pick-and-roll, and after a horizontal pull, they were unable to leave the baseline. However, they found that Diaw's defense was in place and it was difficult for him to find opportunities.
If he wanted to take advantage of Diaw, a fat man with excellent basketball intelligence, Beverley was not so ignorant. The size difference between the two was too huge. If he went for a layup, nine out of ten his shot would be blocked.
After Beili sneaked around from the bottom line, he passed the ball to Yi Jianlian on the left. Yi Jianlian connected with the ball and shot directly from the mid-range, and the ball bounced out of the frame again.
Diaw protected the rebound, and Mills wanted to pass the ball and took the ball past half-court.
After halftime, Mills gave the ball to Ginobili. After all, Ginobili had just scored a goal and felt good, so he also took the initiative to let Ginobili attack on his own.
After Ginobili received the ball, facing Batum's switch, he accelerated with the ball and broke through from the left.
Batum quickly followed Ginobili's movements. At this time, Ginobili suddenly stopped, but found that he could not completely get rid of Batum's defense.
At this distance, the other side can still interfere.
However, Ginobili just needs to have room to take action.
For this ball, after Ginobili made an emergency stop, he jumped up and shot backwards. Although Batum tried his best to interfere, he still couldn't reach it.
After scoring the last goal, my feel and confidence were really through the roof!
The Demonic Sword suddenly unsheathed. If the highest difficulty level is 5 stars, the difficulty level of this ball is at least 4 stars. With the active interference of defensive player Batum, the overall difficulty level can reach 4.5 stars.
But even with such a difficult shot, he still got into the basket with a bang.
At 86:92, the point difference was suddenly recovered to only 6 points.
After this ball, Ginobili also became the first player for the Spurs to score 20 points tonight, with his personal data reaching 21 points.
With only half a minute left in the third quarter, the Spurs had a small climax at this critical moment. They had to make adjustments quickly.
After the timeout, Coach Terry immediately made substitutions, took out the tactical board, and said to Wang Zelin: "Use singles tactics at this position. If the Spurs double-team, Damien, Will and Nicholas, you stand here. Waiting for the ball in several positions, receiving the ball from Wang as soon as possible, and then making a judgment."
Sure enough, the person the Trail Blazers can trust most at this time is Wang Zelin!
And considering that after Wang Zelin comes on the court, the Spurs are very likely to be double-teamed, so they have to let Lillard come on the court to respond and strengthen the outside firepower output point.
"After I finish speaking, do you have any questions?"
"No!"
Wang Zelin stood up and took the lead in shouting.
Today's three quarters of the game are about to pass. Wang Zelin's personal data is quite gorgeous. He scored 18 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 4 steals. In this game, he is very likely to get double 20+ 5×5 data.
However, scoring only 18 points in the third quarter was indeed not enough for Wang Zelin, who currently averages 38 points per game.
He admitted that he was suspected of rebounding tonight, otherwise he would not have been almost level 3 and only took 10 shots.
Compared to breaking his personal single-game rebounding record, Wang Zelin could not accept being reversed by the Spurs. He was indeed a bit stunned before.
Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up.
As the team leader, his first responsibility is to lead the team to win!
Now at the critical moment, he must stand up and help the team solve problems without hesitation. Only those with this kind of consciousness can become the leader of the team.
When it comes to recording things, just let nature take its course.
Now, there is only one thing on his mind, and that is to beat the opposing Spurs!
…
The game starts again.
Trail Blazers offense.
According to the tactics, Wang Zelin reached for the ball in the low post on the left side.
Wang Zelin caught Duncan who had just been replaced behind him, then stretched out his right hand, and Lillard lobbed the ball to Wang Zelin.
This pass was very good. Wang Zelin received the ball very comfortably, then turned around and pressed Duncan sideways to prevent him from jumping, and the sky hook shot.
"Wha—!"
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers hit their first shot.
Wang Zelin also successfully scored his 20th point of the game, but it was not over yet.
Turn around and Spurs attack.
With the help of a screen from the outside, Ginobili made a serpentine breakthrough from beyond the three-point line, passing Lillard and Batum, and stabbed straight to the basket.
"Snapped!"
In the air, Yaodao adjusted his balance and shot the ball, but a figure came out from behind and pinned his shot on the backboard.
The body-chasing nail plate hat from Wang Zelin!
After landing and taking off for the second time, Wang Zelin turned around and launched a fast break. He single-handedly led to the frontcourt and completed a one-stop dunk.
At this time, there were only 3.7 seconds left for the Spurs.
Parker quickly advanced after receiving the ball in the backcourt, encountered many obstacles, and finished just after halftime.
At the end of the three quarters, Wang Zelin's perfect performance of 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 block after returning from the timeout led the Trail Blazers to 96:86 against the Spurs.
very!
The score difference is back to that damn time.
Listening to the increasingly loud cheers and shouts of the MVP in the Rose Garden Arena, and looking at the back of No. 36 on the opposite side, Simavici felt itching with hatred.
Why does this kind of monster appear in the alliance?
How can other teams survive?
During the timeout between sections, the morale of the Spurs players was visibly low.
Even though Simavici emphasized over and over again to muster energy and motivation, it was hard to say how effective such chicken soup tactics would be.
The game started quickly in the fourth quarter, and Portland fans were looking forward to the team led by their king to end the game in a wave.
As if responding to the expectations and calls of the fans, the Trail Blazers began to change their tactics in the final quarter of the game. Wang Zelin served as the main attacker and wreaked havoc on the basket, while others opened up to open space.
Generally speaking, this tactic can bring out Wang Zelin's offensive talent to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it also prevents the Spurs from double-teaming wantonly.
When playing Duncan one-on-one, we can maintain an offensive efficiency of over 80%, which is terrifying!
And when Sima Wei couldn't stand it anymore and sent someone to help Duncan, the Trail Blazers would inevitably have an opening. The wide field of vision brought by his height allowed Wang Zelin to always score the ball before the opponent's double team formed.
After three quarters of shooting, the Trail Blazers' outside shooting percentage has remained above 50%. Coupled with Wang Zelin's strong defense and rebounding control, the situation on the court has become more and more stable, allowing the Trail Blazers to continue to expand the score.
At the end of the game, 127:106, the Trail Blazers won by 21 points!
Under Wang Zelin's strong defensive pressure, the Spurs performed very steadily and never found a chance to win from beginning to end.
Wang Zelin played 8 minutes in the final quarter and scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. Then the game completely entered garbage time and did not play again for the next 4 minutes.
In the end, he played 32 minutes in this game, and his personal data was fixed at 36 points, 27 rebounds, 7 blocks, 5 assists and 5 steals!
This is a shocking and ultra-luxurious data!
"Oh, I'm only 3 rebounds short of a double 30, but I hit such terrifying data in just 30 minutes. I really doubt that one day this guy Wang will score a five-double in a game sooner or later!"
After receiving Wang Zelin's data, the home commentator shook his head and sighed.
In front of the Spurs bench, when Sima Wei saw the data printed on the big screen, his face was filled with helplessness.
Looking back, all the disciples had the same expression as him, they were all frightened by the monster performance played by No. 36 on the opposite side.
"let's go."
After an unknown amount of time, he withdrew his gaze, focused on the Spurs players, and issued the last order of the field.
In this game, the Spurs' only comeback point was the Yaodao's explosion near the end of the third quarter. At that time, the point difference had been recovered to 6 points.
It's a pity that he ran into Wang Zelin's big pervert, and he suddenly killed the Spurs' rising momentum by relying on his own hard power.
It can be said that the game officially lost suspense from that point on, and the Trail Blazers sealed the victory.
