At 18:58, players from both teams came to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball.
Wang Zelin looked at Hayward who came to the center circle and said to Hayward: "Hayward, you are a good opponent. I wish you have fun in the Rose Garden tonight!"
It's okay that Wang Zelin didn't say anything. As soon as these words came out, Hayward couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Damn, can this guy be so kind?
Impossible...absolutely impossible!
Combined with the bad feeling in his heart just now, he seemed to understand something.
Wang Zelin, that butcher, had obviously already thought about how to kill himself in the competition, but in the end he still pretended to be thinking about me. Hmm, that was simply arrogant.
This made him very unhappy and worried at the same time.
After all, the Blazers' defense is not impenetrable, and Wang Zelin made it clear that he would deal with him later.
Damn, are you so crazy? !
He was so distracted that when Gobot lost to Wang Zelin with a jump ball, he didn't have time to pay a return visit.
Batum seized the opportunity, accelerated like crazy, and single-handedly headed towards the Jazz penalty area.
Wang Zelin's jump ball was passed to Lillard. After Lillard took the ball, he just took two steps forward. When he saw Batum's opportunity, he decisively threw the ball into the air.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang in the penalty area, but Bartome was already hanging high above the basket. He did a pull-up before jumping down, and high-fived Jokic behind him with excitement.
At the Rose Garden Arena, more than 20,000 Blazers fans instantly entered a climax when they saw Batum and Lillard contribute a powerful alley-oop dunk right after the game started.
The same was true for the more than 50 Chinese celebrities in the front row. They looked excited and stood up and shouted collectively.
"Holy shit! The Trail Blazers attacked too hard and they just hit an alley-oop!"
"Black man" Chen Jianzhou suddenly shouted, waving his right arm excitedly.
2:0, Batum opened the scoring for the Trail Blazers.
Zhang Lili said: "The Trail Blazers players are very capable of seizing opportunities, and they work together very well. If the Jazz's defense does not remain vigilant, a painful defeat will be waiting for them!"
Offensive and defensive transition, Jazz offense.
Hayward and Gobert engaged in a high pick-and-roll. With the help of the screen, Hayward stretched outside the three-point line and took a long shot without being defended.
However, maybe because he just came up, or maybe because of Wang Zelin's words before, he didn't concentrate enough and his touch was not very good, so he failed to seize the rare open opportunity.
"Oh, this ball can't be made...it really shouldn't be."
In the TNT commentary box, Kenny Smith looked regretful.
You know, Hayward shot 39.8% of three-pointers during the regular season this year, averaging 5.1 shots per game and hitting 2 goals. He has both productivity and efficiency.
"The last time Hayward entered the playoffs was back in the 2011-12 season. Returning to the playoffs after four years will inevitably require some adjustment time." Barkley was secretly happy, but on the surface he showed The same look.
"Hmph! Laugh if you want, why are you pretending?"
Smith immediately snorted. Others didn't know. Could it be that he didn't know what this sullen guy like Barkley was thinking in his mind.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After being exposed, Buckley stopped pretending and burst out laughing.
On the court, Wang Zelin collected the backcourt rebound, dribbled past half court, held the ball sideways with his left hand, and raised his right index finger to the sky.
The teammates understood it, the familiar four people opened up, and the familiar Wang Zelin played in singles.
Coach Terry said before the game that he would defeat his opponent in one go tonight to show that the Blazers are really not good at defending their title.
In this case, the fastest and most brutal way to win is to hand the ball to Wang Zelin and let him destroy the Jazz's defensive system.
Gobert stepped forward with a wry smile, Hong Kong... As both international players, he did not want to guard Wang Zelin at all, even though he is regarded as the center player whose defensive ability is second only to Wang Zelin this season.
Just because whether in the NBA or international competitions, he has been beaten by Wang Zelin in various ways more than once.
but……
"Rudy, you are the key to our victory in this series!" These were the words of Jazz coach Quinn Schneider encouraging Gobert before the game.
Translated into Chinese, it probably means: You are the hope of our whole village! Come on, brave young man!
Is this the power of the first person in the league?
Gobot suddenly felt envious of Wang Zelin.
He can be both inside and outside, and can combine offense and defense. Unlike him, he is just a pure blue-collar player.
Why don’t I, Ge, have the dream of playing singles with the ball in his heart?
Gobot lowered his center of gravity, and Wang Zelin, who was leaning against him in a high position, suddenly turned to the right and rear while shaking his shoulders.
Gobot quickly followed up with a sliding step.
In recent years, Gobot followed the trend of the league and began to gain weight, just to be able to carry Wang Zelin. Now his confrontation ability has indeed improved, but his speed has inevitably declined.
After sliding out, he suddenly screamed that something was not good.
After averaging 40 points per game this season, Wang Zelin is known as the offensive kaleidoscope at the center position. He is proficient in any offensive method that involves scoring.
Don't guess Mr. Wang's routine, you won't be able to guess it anyway.
Wang Zelin's huge body was suddenly rolled over backwards elegantly.
At this moment, Wang Zelin attracted everyone's attention.
"The king is so handsome..."
On the live commentary stage of Tencent Sports, Mina was completely fascinated, with little hearts in her eyes.
Picturesque!
Yes, he is obviously a seven-foot-long man, but at this moment he showed a picturesque jump shot, which made countless fans at the scene mesmerized.
"Wha—!"
Accompanied by a pleasant sound of piercing the net, Wang Zelin used a difficult high position to turn his back and score another victory for the Blazers.
4:0!
This is another major benefit that Wang Zelin gradually felt after integrating Larry Bird's abilities and attributes.
As the greatest white superstar in NBA history, Bird's physical talent is mediocre compared to other superstars, but he has a historical-level shooting touch, as well as the same top-level coordination and balance in history, allowing him to always be able to Shoot comfortably and stably, so that you can hit the target perfectly.
After completely inheriting Bird's abilities and attributes, Wang Zelin often conducts targeted shooting exercises on weekdays. Naturally, he imitates Yuke's various messy shots after the confrontation.
Having put more effort into his jump shot, combined with Bird's historical level of coordination and balance, Wang Zelin has successfully found a path to a picturesque jump shot that is rare among big players.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Wang Zelin is not doing his job properly, or he is idle. Because he obviously has stronger offensive methods, such as attacking the basket and the unsolvable sky hook, but he still has to fight against himself and practice shots that take longer and are slow to produce results.
But Wang Zelin enjoys it. No one likes to talk about it. For him, being handsome is a lifelong matter!
