At 30:47, the Thunder were still 17 points behind.
The game continues, the Blazers attack.
Lillard and Wang Zelin cooperated tacitly and easily completed an alley-oop, expanding the score again.
Offensive and defensive transition, Thunder offense.
Wang Zelin was entangled by Sabonis Jr.
Sabonis has good tonnage and height. He is a typical European white bear. His movement speed and strength are not as good as Wang Zelin's, but they are not bad either.
As soon as he entangled Wang Zelin, the Thunder's offense was immediately completed, and it was an inside attack.
Biyombo had a speed advantage against Jokic. After cutting to the basket, he turned around flexibly and completed a one-handed dunk.
Trail Blazers offense.
Wang Zelin walked to the basket, and Sabonis Jr. caught up with him again, but this time Wang Zelin sped up and turned around, giving Sabonis Jr. an elbow. The latter grunted in pain and retreated.
This was Lillard's pass coming in. Wang Zelin stood up suddenly, and with a bang, he caught the ball and smashed into the basket.
"The Thunder's inside defense is so bad. Wang Zelin is completely giving and asking for it, just like he's back in his own back garden!" Barkley said.
Smith said: "Moreover, the offensive capabilities of Biyombo and Sabonis are very limited, and they cannot contain Wang at all. Their only function is defense, but the result is obvious, they have no way to defeat Wang."
Barkley smiled: "It seems that we can congratulate the Trail Blazers in advance for winning their 15th consecutive victory!"
On the sidelines, Billy Donovan shouted to Sabonis: "Domantas, hang on to him, you will be the biggest contributor to the team's win tonight."
Sabonis nodded.
When I arrived at the scene, I saw Wang Zelin guarding the penalty area and rushed over decisively. The two behemoths were wrestling crazily under the basket.
Thanks to Sabonis' hard work, Westbrook found the mid-range and hit a zombie jumper to help the Thunder recover two points.
But in the Blazers' offensive round, the Thunder inside group still couldn't stop Wang Zelin, and Wang Zelin succeeded with a dunk and two from the front, which also caused a foul on Biyombo.
With Wang Zelin's 2+1 score, the Blazers' offensive became more and more fierce one after another, and the Thunder retreated steadily.
After the second quarter, Wang Zelin completely controlled the rebounds on both offense and defense, grabbing 17 in a single quarter.
This number is second only to the record of 18 rebounds in a single quarter, the highest in history.
However, the most outrageous thing is that strictly speaking, Wang Zelin's 17 rebounds did not take a whole quarter to catch, but only took more than 9 minutes.
Because he only returned to the court after a brief two-and-a-half-minute battle between the two benches in the second quarter.
If he really plays for 12 minutes, let alone the record of 18 rebounds in a single game, maybe he can grab 20 rebounds in a single game.
In addition to the 6 rebounds in the first quarter, Wang Zelin had already grabbed 23 rebounds in the first half, which was only 10 short of the career-high single-game record of 33 rebounds he set in his rookie season.
On the offensive end, he didn't take many active shots. He basically focused on cutting in and grabbing rebounds. He mainly focused on rebounding. He only scored 15 points in the first half, which was not even the average level of previous games.
.
However, everyone was stunned when they saw Wang Zelin's incredible performance of 15 points, 23 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 blocks and 1 steal at halftime.
"Since the merger of ABA and NBA, only former Bulls player Charles Oakley has grabbed 35 rebounds in a single game, setting a record in history. Now, Wang Zelin only needs to grab 12 more rebounds in the second half to equalize this.
record, tied for first place with Oakley. As long as you grab one more rebound, you can exclusively hold the first place in history!"
Smith shouted excitedly.
"Fans who are watching this game, you are in luck, because a new great NBA record will be born tonight... and all of you will be witnesses of this great night! Please support Wang Zelin as much as you can.
Send cheers..."
Barkley also became passionate at this moment, smiling excitedly.
Wang Zelin sat on the bench, holding the data given to him by Coach Terry, and showed a satisfied smile.
"King, get a few more rebounds in the second half and break that damn record!" Aldridge, the injured man, couldn't look as calm as he did at the start of the game and urged him desperately.
"Yes, boss, if you break all this, we can also take advantage of it and be engraved in history with you." Jokic said cheerfully.
Jokic's performance in this game is still remarkable. He played 15 minutes at halftime and easily got 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. It is expected that after the whole game, there is a high probability that he will get around 18 7 7.
A triple-double is in line with his usual level this season.
"Don't forget about other statistics, if you score 15 points and 2 assists in the second half, you will become the only player in NBA history to score 30 30 5 5 on the spot. I guess in 100 years, you will not
No one else can beat this statistic."
Coach Turley followed.
"Everyone, just relax, tonight I will make the Thunder appear on the shameful page of history." Wang Zelin laughed.
But no one noticed that Wang Zelin's attention was suddenly focused on the 6 blocks on the data sheet...
How is 30 30 5 5 enough?
If you want to do it, do it big time!
Try to get 4 more blocks in the second half, a wave of 30 30 10. It seems that in NBA history, there has never been such a crazy triple-double performance in a single game.
But today, he is determined to be king!
Moreover, right in front of the three pairs of magical turtles, he defeated him in the way he was best at.
…
Come back from midfield and the game continues
The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook advanced to the top of the arc and made tactical gestures.
Sabonis Jr. came up from the low post on the right wing and made a high pick-and-roll. Then Westbrook broke through and Sabonis Jr. stayed in the high position.
If it were other teams, their zone defense would have shrunk at this time, but the Trail Blazers did not completely hand over their defense to Wang Zelin because of their status, and even Jokic did not switch defenses.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It stands to reason that he should switch defenses and defend the breakthrough Westbrook, but he did not, but still clung to Sabonis Jr.
In this way, although Wang Zelin needed to defend Biyombo and Westbrook alone under the basket, Sabonis did not get the opportunity to misplace Dalilard.
In the Thunder's high pick-and-roll tactic, Sabonis receiving the pass and hitting Lillard in a misplaced position is the first tactical purpose.
But now, the Thunder's tactics have been destroyed.
"It's up to the king," Barkley shouted.
During the pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin had already entered the paint area under Biyombo's entanglement and was one step below the free throw line. As soon as Westbrook broke through Lillard, he encountered Wang Zelin's cover.
At this moment, Biyombo clamped Wang Zelin's right arm to prevent him from moving.
Shooting... or splitting the ball?
At this moment, Westbrook reacted, and he had to react at this moment, because with a little hesitation, he would very likely find Wang Zelin and Lillard double-teaming.
Forget it, brothers!
He immediately changed direction to the left and broke through from behind Biyombo, just keeping a certain safe distance from Wang Zelin.
"Go away!"
Wang Zelin suddenly turned right and ran into Biyombo's arms. At the same time, his right elbow also hit Biyombo's body.
"cough!"
The force of this blow was so great that Biyombo instantly groaned in pain, his eyes widened as if they were about to fall off in the next second, his breath was suffocated, and his face turned red instantly.
Even with Biyombo's iron tower-like body, he was somewhat unable to react after being elbowed, and his brain shut down instantly.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Zelin got rid of the entanglement, moved sideways to the left, turned around and rushed towards the basket.
As soon as he took a step, he saw Westbrook jump up under the basket, drag the ball behind his head with one hand, and show off his signature tomahawk chop.
"drink!"
With a roar, Wang Zelin immediately jumped up and pressed down with his right palm.
"Snapped!"
Just when the basketball reached its peak, Wang Zelin slapped him on the backboard.
"Yes!"
The entire stadium burst into cheers, and countless fans stood up to show their respect.
"The 7th, the 7th blocked shot! Wang has already blocked the shot like crazy..."
At this time, Smith seemed to have thought of something, and his voice began to tremble.
Wang Zelin caught the ball and landed on the ground. At this moment, Biyombo, who looked ferocious, bumped into his back and prevented him from turning around.
"Interference ball! This is a interference ball..." Billy Donorman rushed to the sidelines and shouted excitedly.
But the referee just ignored him. Are you kidding? This is the Rose Garden Arena, not your Oklahoma City Big Iron Ridge.
If he dared to ask Wang Zelin to blow the block just now, maybe he would be able to walk out of the arena tonight?
"Counterattack! Counterattack..."
The Blazers fans shouted in unison, completely drowning out Donovan's voice.
Biyombo made a big move and was suspected of fouling, but the referee did not call it a whistle. Wang Zelin could only give up the one-stop fast break. After a closer look, he found Button in the front and suddenly made a long pass with one hand.
Go ahead, Pikachu...
Patton caught the ball and there was no defender in front of him. He collected the ball at the free throw line, took a step forward and jumped on one foot.
"boom!"
Powerful and heavy one-handed tomahawk chop, two points gained.
At 66:45, the Trail Blazers' lead reached an astonishing 21 points!
With such a disparity in the score, Coach Terry is no longer worried about whether Wang Zelin can break the record. Instead, he is now worried about another question, that is - will the Thunder surrender in advance?
But soon, Westbrook and Biyombo soon infected every Thunder player with their passion, like Coach Terry, who interpreted the Oklahoma people's never-give-up spirit.
Westbrook overpowered Lillard and came up to Wang Zelin, pretending to lay up, and passing the ball without looking at anyone to assist Biyombo. The latter picked up green onions under the basket and completed the dunk.
Seeing this scene, Coach Terry finally felt relieved and no longer had to worry about whether the Thunder would surrender or not.
Just kidding, when will I be afraid of powerful enemies when I lead the team with Westbrook?
No matter how far behind they are, as long as Westbrook is on the court, the Thunder players will always try their best on the court as if they are on fire.
Uh... In this way, it is more in line with Wang Zelin's super triple-double plan.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin cut into the basket, attracted a double team and passed back to Lillard from the outside. Lillard took a long two-point shot and hit a goal.
At 68:47, the score exceeded 20 points again.
Wang Zelin got his 5th assist of the game!
30 30 10 5 plan, completed the first part.
Thunder offense.
On the right wing, Biyombo pulled out from the low post and ran back, then received the ball and headed towards the paint area.
Wang Zelin immediately turned around, but bumped into Sabonis Jr.
Little Sabonis also learned to be ruthless, and took the opportunity to give him an elbow secretly, which made him choke.
To be honest, the physical confrontation in European basketball is much stronger than that in the NBA. After all, the rules there are FIBA, which emphasizes team tactics and hand-to-hand defense.
Therefore, after he and Biyombo were tricked several times by Wang Zelin, Sabonis decisively picked up the tough game style in European basketball and retaliate in kind.
"Blank!"
Wang Zelin's breath roared in his chest. At the moment of the attack, his right elbow hit the latter's chest, and he successfully returned an elbow with an elbow.
Little Sabonis groaned, his body stiffened, and he took half a step back.
Wang Zelin took the opportunity to forcefully squeeze Sabonis away and dive towards the basket.
Biyombo went to the basket and dunked with the ball in both hands.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye... Wang Zelin actually got back on guard, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Snapped!"
No matter what he was afraid of, Wang Zelin swung out a single palm and successfully blocked Biyombo's dunk.
"Come down you!"
Using his strength again, Wang Zelin dribbled the ball and pushed Biyombo down. The latter screamed and fell heavily to the floor with a bang, screaming in pain.
"Good hat!"
The Blazers fans cheered, and the cheers filled the sky again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The 8th one! The 8th one..."
Smith was completely dumbfounded, but he continued to talk with his expression as if he was possessed.
"Shet!"
Not only did this tactic fail to work, but it was blocked again in the end. Biyombo was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Lillard made a quick move, Westbrook was a step slower, Wang Zelin made a decisive long pass, and completed the cooperation with Lillard throughout the game, and the latter succeeded in a layup.
Another assist data is obtained, the 6th assist in this game.
For most of the next quarter, the two sides began an offensive confrontation. Westbrook implemented the ball-carrying and core-playing style to the extreme. As the engine of the Thunder's offensive system, he showed the world what it means for one person to drive a team.
For the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin completely controlled the penalty area on both ends of the offense and defense. He quickly stepped down after grabbing defensive rebounds and made a second attack after off-court offensive rebounds. The success rate was extremely high.
With three minutes left in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led by 23 points, and it was still difficult for the Thunder to see any hope of equalizing the score.
But what is surprising is that this Thunder still did not want to give up the game. It seemed that they would not admit defeat before hearing the final whistle.
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides reached 93:68, with the Trail Blazers leading the Thunder by a full 25 points.
It’s not over yet…
When Wang Zelin's data appeared on the big screen, the scene fell into dead silence.
Just because it was clearly displayed on the screen - 26 points, 31 rebounds, 10 blocks, 9 assists and 2 steals!
The super triple-double plan that was clearly mentioned earlier has started to develop in a non-human direction...
Is this special cat going to have a four-double rhythm?!
