Vol 2 Chapter 734: Victory Over Spurs
“Tim, you can hold hands with your other 4 teammates in a circle against me! Don’t worry, I can take it.”
Wang Zelin pretended to be friendly and suggested.
I want to kill this guy!
All of the Spurs had the same idea.
Mud Bodhisattva still has three points of anger, and so does Duncan.
With little time left, the final attack of the third quarter.
frontcourt.
The ball went round and round, but it was still in Duncan’s hands.
In the last 4 seconds, Duncan received the ball and leaned on Wang Zelin to take a step. The upper body strength of 92 and the lower body strength of 96 are still quite energetic. Coupled with Duncan’s solid basic skills, he may be the highest ball quotient among all power forwards in NBA history.
Although he didn’t finish knocking Wang Zelin away, he still found some room to shoot, then immediately tiptoed, grabbed the ball, and hooked at close range…
But how could Wang Zelin make him do what he wanted?
“Snapped!”
With a big pegboard hat, he slammed the ball on the backboard.
“I said, your time is over!”
At the moment of landing, the time just ran out, and the third quarter ended, Wang Zelin grabbed the ball and looked at Duncan so coldly.
After the third quarter, 87:76, the Blazers led the Spurs by 11 points.
Especially in the result of the last attack, Duncan was blocked unexpectedly, which was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Forgive Tim, he’s so pitiful.” Reggie Miller shook his head and sighed.
O’Neill said: “The king is unstoppable today, it’s like a god!”
Then he read out Wang Zelin’s data: “28 minutes, 14 of 22 shots, 9 of 15 near basket shots, 8 free throws, 36 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, three quarters like this Stats, it’s no surprise that the Blazers won!”
In the fourth quarter, the Blazers had the ball.
Duncan and Bonner almost gave up their offense, encircling Wang Zelin on both ends of the offense and defense, trying to isolate him from the game.
Even the National People’s Congress has repeatedly shorted Batum to implement a 3+1 strategy against Wang Zelin.
This change made the game look ugly. The Spurs played on the offensive end like the defensive end. Without the flashy fast break in the first three quarters, there was no heart-pumping quick rotation of the ball, and the pace of the game was quite fragmented.
But this stalking tactic did have an effect. The Blazers players who didn’t touch the ball very much in the first three quarters felt so-so and failed to score several open balls. The Spurs pulled back 6 points in the first half. 93:98, still 5 points behind.
After Wang Zelin, the core of both offensive and defensive ends, was restricted, the Trail Blazers only scored 11 points in the first half of the quarter, and the weakness of the role players’ poor scoring ability and stability was fully exposed.
The Blazers called for a timeout.
Coach Terry made a substitution, replacing Beverley, Connet Lee, Carter, and Harrell, and the main lineup of Lillard, Barton, Batum, and Aldridge returned to the court.
Pause back, and the second half begins.
The final decisive moment has come.
The Blazers attacked, and Aldridge pulled out to take Bonner.
The Spurs hesitated for a while, and after getting a nod from the head coach, they continued to double-team Wang Zelin, and Leonard let Batum go.
After being surrounded and suppressed, Wang Zelin chose to trust his teammates and crossed Batum on the bottom line on the right. The latter caught the ball and shot an empty three-pointer.
“Shh-!”
Three points scored, 101:93, the gap between the main force and the bench is obvious.
“Ugh……”
There was a sigh at the scene. When the Blazers shipped first and then were on the court at the same time, there were too many offensive points, and the Spurs were hard to guard against.
Off the field, Simavic grabbed his hair in one hand and paced back and forth.
He is worried!
Although Wang Zelin’s scoring can be limited to a certain extent right now, it also allows the rest of the Blazers to score easily.
If this continues, the Spurs will definitely be slaughtered by blood, and it is possible to lose two or thirty points.
This level of humiliation is actually no less than Wang Zelin taking 50 points…
Right now, the Spurs have two glasses of poison in front of them.
Either let Duncan continue to defend No. 36 alone, and the result is likely to be knocked out by the latter one-on-one, which is similar to pure scoring.
Or you can only short the other Blazers and choose to lock No. 36, but in this way, you can only block the rest of the Blazers and the feeling cannot be maintained forever.
After a brief hesitation, Sima Weiqi chose the latter.
The reason is simple, someone has already paid a terrible price for choosing the first option.
who?
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr!
On the stage of the Western Conference finals last season, the Warriors, under the leadership of Kerr, chose to adopt the Jordan Law defensive strategy to target Wang Zelin.
As a result, let that guy score 65 points in three quarters, the first highest score in the playoffs! Successfully broke the 63-point record held by the basketball god!
Through the painful lessons of the Warriors, the head coaches of each team have understood one thing. As long as he dares to give the Blazers a relatively comfortable space to score points, the guy really dares to destroy a team one-on-one.
Choose the lesser of the two evils, and Simavic believes that he has made a wise enough choice, because in this way, the Spurs may win a little bit of life.
However, the fact is that the pioneers’ one-shot main players did not disappoint Wang Zelin, and most of the points after each double-team were grasped.
In addition to the only two or three missed shots due to the Spurs’ make-up defense, Lillard and Barton threw a total of six 3-pointers from the outside in the second half.
By the way, Wang Zelin also scored 6 assists, plus 1 in the first half, his assists tonight successfully reached double figures.
In the end, the Blazers beat the Spurs by 17 points at 121:104.
Considering that the opponent is the traditional Western Spurs, 17 points is indeed worthy of the description of “big victory”.
In this game, Wang Zelin played a total of 39 minutes and played the most time in the game, scoring a triple-double of 41 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 blocks and 1 steal, plus 3 turnovers and 5 fouls.
After winning the Spurs, the Trail Blazers finally ended their three-straight trip~www.readwn.com~ and successfully increased their winning streak to 9 games. They will return to home against another powerhouse in the West, Memphis in the next game. Grizzly.
It is worth mentioning that with the performance of 41 points in this game, Wang Zelin’s personal scoring average has increased slightly, reaching a terrifying 39.4 points, continuing to lead the league.
The block data also came, with a terrible average of 5.1 per game, ranking first in the season block list.
It’s on the rebounding list. Although he had 21 rebounds in this game and averaged 17.9 rebounds per game, he couldn’t stand the emergence of a rebounder who was dubbed “modern Rodman” by many fans this season, Drummond. , This guy averaged an astonishing 19.2 rebounds per game in 8 games, including 5 games with 20+ rebounds…
This is more than that. Behind the two is a Jordan who averaged 16 rebounds per game. This should be the NBA. It is a rare situation in the new century that there are three insiders who average more than 15 rebounds per game in a single season at the same time.
While it’s early in the season, the trio’s numbers will definitely drop as the season goes on, but that’s crazy enough.
This year’s competition for the rebounding king is very likely to be the most volume in the past 20 years!
