On the court, Lillard passed the ball to Wang Zelin under Ty Lawson's defense, because he found that he had no chance to make a shot, and Ty Lawson was guarding him.
Wang Zelin received the basketball and looked at the timer on the backboard. There were still 15 seconds left, so he waved to his teammates to spread the formation.
A few seconds later, seeing the space being opened by his teammates, Wang Zelin began to dribble in.
In an instant, the entire Rose Garden fans stood up. This scene made Iguodala sigh: I didn't expect that Wang Zelin would have such prestige in Portland in just half a season, and he had been in Philadelphia for so long.
Ten years, and finally...
Thinking of this, Iguodala smiled and shook his head, but his smile was a little bitter.
Also, even Allen, the son of Philadelphia, can be traded, so what does that mean to me?
Seeing Costa Koufos retreating continuously, Iguodala quietly came behind Wang Zelin and pounced on him.
At this time, Wang Zelin's hook movement was just completed, and Iguodala rose into the air, bouncing so high that everyone present took a breath.
"Snapped!"
"Huh?" Wang Zelin was surprised and looked at the basketball that was shot away in disbelief... He was actually blocked.
In the Rose Garden Arena, the penalty area guarded by him was a nightmare for all opponents. When someone burst in, it was usually to ask the teacher if he had any homework.
But today, neither Wang Zelin nor Portland fans expected that he would be blocked on his own territory.
"Andre ~ Iguodala! His defense is so good. I haven't seen Wang eating hot pot under the basket for a long time! He is worthy of being the man who can defend James in the 2011 playoffs!"
When Iguodala completed the block, Reggie Miller grabbed the microphone and yelled wildly.
After hearing what he said, many people looked at the players wearing blue No. 9 jerseys on the court and their thoughts went back to the Eastern Conference playoffs in the 2010-1 season.
It was the first year of the formation of the Miami Heat, which was at its peak. They were disliked by fans, media, and the league. However, they had to admit that the Miami Big Three, who were still under thirty and at the peak of their careers, were well-deserved.
Number one championship seed.
At least before the finals, no team in the Eastern Conference except the Celtics can stop the Heat, let alone the Philadelphia 75ers, who only scored 41 wins and 41 losses in the regular season and ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.
In the eyes of the outside world, even if the Heat lose, they can only lose to the Celtics. Before that, they should have swept the game.
However, Iguodala, the core of the 75ers at the time, used his actions to tell everyone ~ no!
Not only did he steadily average a near-triple-double of 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, but he also led the team to come back from a 0:3 deficit in the G4 life-and-death battle.
In the end, they won a valuable victory over the overwhelmingly popular Heat team.
After that series of playoffs, Andre Iguodala got rid of the title of "Little AI" for the first time in his career, and fans gradually got to know the 75ers' new leader.
A guy who can slightly restrict James on perimeter defense!
…
In the auditorium.
As soon as Reggie Miller's words came out of his mouth, he immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many Trail Blazers fans around him.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers players on the court returned to defense very quickly, otherwise the Nuggets would have really been able to make a fast break.?
Ty Lawson stabilized the rhythm, and the two teams had to compete again in a positional battle.
Iguodala took advantage of Cornes Farrid's screen and circled in from outside the three-point line.
Iguodala had just contributed an excellent defense at the top five level. This time Ty Lawson could no longer pretend not to see it. When a puller ran into position, Ty Lawson's pass just arrived.
.
Iguodala simply broke away and held the ball, scaring the Blazers into shrinking their defense.
Take off, jump up, Iguodala makes an emergency stop... where is the ball?
It turns out that Iguodala's action just now was just a feint, and the real killer move was Wilson Chandler who had sneaked into the paint.
Wilson Chandler didn't stop after catching the ball. He pushed past Matthews and rushed in. He raised his arms and jumped on one foot. He looked so unstoppable!
"Roar!" Wilson Chandler yelled, rounded the ball, and slammed it into the basket.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the basket let out a painful wail, and the basketball stand was shaken to a creaking sound.
The entire arena was silent for two seconds, and then the deafening boos made Nuggets coach George Karl feel like the floor was shaking.
But as one of only seven coaches with 1,000 wins in NBA history, he has never seen any big scenes, and the boos from the audience will only make him more excited.
At the same time, he believed that the disciples on the field were the same.
Sure enough, Wilson Chandler, who completed the dunk, showed no sign of fear in the face of the overwhelming boos, waving his hands crazily, as if to say...
"Let the storm come harder!"
The big screen and TV at the scene immediately gave a replay of the attack. The Nuggets' Ty Lawson, Iguodala and Wilson Chandler cooperated in seconds, and finally succeeded in the Trail Blazers' basket.
basket.
Under the leadership of George Karl, the plateau running and jumping team has completed its transformation this season. They do not have a superstar-level leader, but they are capable of surpassing the alley-oop city, the Black and White Bears and many other strong teams. They are ranked fourth in the Western Conference, and the distance is 3rd.
The Thunder are only one win away from the third place, and they rely on the incomparable team basketball.
As far as this year is concerned, in terms of team basketball attributes, the only one that can be better than the Denver Nuggets is the San Antonio Spurs.
The boos all over the sky didn't last long before disappearing.
the reason is simple.
"BOOM! Blind Karaka!
Audience friends, take a look!
What is absolute power!!!"
In the next attack, Wang Zelin relied on his absolute advantage in strength to dunk against two defenders, and caused a defensive foul by Nuggets center Kosta Koufos.
"e on, baby!"
After completing the dunk, Wang Zelin roared at the two people in front of him!
In line with the principle of saving energy, Wang Zelin didn't attack too hard before, but what he got in exchange was a hot pot.
Now, he doesn't want to endure it anymore!
Costa Koufos's face was not very pretty. Just when he was about to have an attack, he suddenly thought of Wang Zelin's terrifying power just now, and his head subconsciously shrank back.
Soon, Wang Zelin hit an extra free throw and the score was 2 1.
6:4.
Next, the Nuggets continued to attack.
Iguodala plays without the ball and starts to move along the baseline to pull the defender.
Ty Lawson, who was holding the ball, handed over a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, took a step, had a little space, and made a strong pull from the mid-range...
"Whoosh!"
Don’t forget, I am the Nuggets’ leading scorer.
After scoring the goal, Ty Lawson pointed directly at his No. 3 jersey.
"Very good, Lawson, keep it up!"
George Karl nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines. With Gallinari, the team's striker, injured and absent, someone on the team must step up.
6:6 flat.
The game continues.
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard also called a pick-and-roll tactic at the top of the arc, and the Nuggets became wary.
But most of the Trail Blazers' pick-and-rolls won't stop until the end, unless Wang Zelin, Aldridge and Lillard cooperate.
The pick-and-roll between Lillard and Mike Roberts allows the Metropolis to create selling space or passing options for Lillard.
Just like now.
Mike Roberts stepped forward and got directly behind Ty Lawson.
"Fake!"
Ty Lawson took a step back, as if he had hit an iron wall, his eyes wide open.
At this moment, Lillard seized the opportunity, took a step sideways and pulled it up...
Cornes Farid wanted to finish his defense.
On the other side, Iguodala was worried about Wang Zelin on the inside. He hesitated and his reaction speed naturally slowed down.
Lillard has completed all his shots...
"Whoosh!"
The basketball followed the sound and fell directly into the net.
9:6!
"The three-pointer after the pick-and-roll is Lillard's specialty, and it is also his favorite scoring method." Weber said with a smile: "What you may not have noticed is that when Lillard waved for the pick-and-roll, Wang chose to go straight from the baseline.
Insert into the heart of the Nuggets, and then attract the attention of Iguodala and insider Koufos, causing Iguodala to not dare to defend outside!
A good player should have such a deterrent effect, able to divert the opponent's defensive attention, thereby allowing his teammates to get good opportunities!"
Weber was full of praise for Wang Zelin, while Reggie Miller next to him was wiping his sweat tactically.
He thought: Look at what you said, those who didn’t know thought it was Wang Zelin’s two points. Newton proposed the force of gravity hundreds of years ago, but you are even more awesome and proposed the force of gravity!
Offense and defense transition, the Nuggets attack.
The Nuggets average 106 points per game, ranking first in the league. Their biggest feature is a large number of alley-oops and runs. They are praised by fans as the most passionate and most exciting team in recent years.
It even makes people inadvertently think of the Phoenix Suns led by Nash and Stoudemire.
It was only 3 seconds before Ty Lawson pushed past the three-point line. Seeing the emptiness inside the Blazers, he rushed in. Kostakoufos detoured from the weak side. Ty Lawson attracted double-teams and feinted from the front, but it was wonderful.
Kostakoufos passed the ball and dunked, finally feeling proud in front of No. 36.
Lillard passed the ball and accelerated the counterattack...
The counterattack failed!
Ty Lawson blocked the way, and his strong body made Lillard choose to slow down and play steadily.
"This guy is like a mad dog, let's go find the king!"
Lillard's slander advanced to the entire court, beckoning to continue looking for pick-and-rolls, but the target became Wang Zelin.
But the pick-and-roll effect this time was average. As soon as Wang Zelin brought it up, Ty Lawson ran rampant and entangled Lillard.
Helpless, Lillard handed the ball to Batum, who made a three-way breakthrough from the right wing.
Seeing Iguodala pounce on him, Batum was overjoyed and handed the ball to Wang Zelin, who was one step inside the free throw line.
empty!
Wang Zelin grabbed the ball, ignored Wilson Chandler who came to defend him, shot straight, and hit the board.
"What do you think about letting a 2.03 meter dwarf guard me?"
After mocking, Wang Zelin quickly returned to defense.
When the Nuggets were on offense again, when they saw Ty Lawson reaching the three-point line, Cornes Farid consciously moved forward and used the screen as a wall.
At this time, Mike Roberts took precautions in advance and did not let Ty Lawson succeed. He rushed forward and covered the latter's eyes.
At the critical moment, Iguodala immediately came from the left and roared at Ty Lawson: "Here!"
Ty Lawson was instantly overjoyed!
Suddenly I felt that Iguodala was quite cute, so I followed the sound and handed the ball over.
"Snapped!"
Iguodala catches the ball.
The next second, the whole person rushed in as if the accelerator was turned on.
"boom!"
Matthews and Batum flanked each other at the same time.
The breakthrough route is overcrowded!
Iguodala will definitely not be stubborn. The Trail Blazers' two strongest perimeter defenses are coming up together, and there will definitely be no good results from being tough.
"Whoosh!"
make a prompt decision!
Iguodala suddenly stuffed the ball into the basket.
"This is...Wilson Chandler! He got a great opportunity. Andre's pass was so decisive that the Portlanders didn't react."
Wilson Chandler didn't know when he appeared under the basket, and he just caught Iguodala's pass at the moment. This person just picked up the onions...
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The next second, a burst of cheers came from the scene.
what's the situation?
Before Wilson Chandler could react, a huge force came from behind!
"Snapped!"
The basketball was nailed to the backboard and bounced hard.
"Wang~ze~lin!!!"
The DJ at the scene got really excited and shouted Wang Zelin’s name.
"oh!"
The whole audience exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah yeah!"
Lena in the first row suddenly changed from a quiet state to an excited state. This person jumped up from the bench, and the live camera focused on her.
The performance of Father and Mother Wang on the side was not much better, shaking their hands excitedly.
Take off the second time and pick off the rebound.
Wang Zelin flicked his hands and sent a long pass across the court.
Matthews caught the ball and started quickly, stopped outside the left three-point line and took a shot, but missed the three-pointer.
But it doesn't matter.
Good brother Batum came out of the middle, pushed the ball that had just bounced back into the frame, and wiped Matthews' butt again.
"Pah! Man, it's time to practice your three-point shooting."
After the high-five, Batum mocked.
"Hey my brother, actually I was planning to pass the ball at first, but for some reason, I suddenly lost control of my hands!"
Matthews winked.
"That's really regrettable!"
Batum curled his lips and became angry.
"I think so!"
Well, I was defeated by you.
Batum said: I have never seen such a shameless person.
Nuggets offense.
It's still a high pick-and-roll tactic.
Taylor Law got the chance to play Wang Zelin in a misplaced single.
"Boy, I'm going to knock you out of my collection!"
Facing Wang Zelin, Ty Lawson was so excited that he spoke directly.
"hehe!"
Wang Zelin chuckled and did not respond.
It's boring to deal with the other party now, it will be more interesting after a while when you are on guard.
Playing small and attacking big is the basic skill of an excellent point guard.
This season, Ty Lawson is definitely excellent at the No. 1 position, and he is naturally very skilled at playing small against big players.
Facing the taller and stronger Wang Zelin, Ty Lawson chose to drastically change direction and break through.
He stepped out with his left foot and then quickly handed the ball to his right hand. The degree of disguise was certainly not as exaggerated as Iverson's, but in his opinion, it was enough to deal with a bulky big man like Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin's feet were sluggish, but Ty Lawson passed through the defense line and walked away.
It shouldn’t be!
Wang Zelin's teammates were full of doubts.
But then.
Just when the familiar basket was in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared behind Ty Lawson.
From the perspective of the photographer on the other side, Ty Lawson's figure was completely covered and airtight.
"careful!"
Iguodala reminded hurriedly.
But it's too late.
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
Another block, from a yellow palm.
Ty Lawson screamed and fell to the floor with a thud.
"Wow!"
The rose garden exclaimed again.
"This is Wang's defense! This is his moment. No one can break our basket under his defense! No one!"
