"I thought it was Allen Iverson in front of me. How disappointing!"
Wang Zelin landed on the ground, spread his hands, and looked at Ty Lawson on the ground with boredom.
"you……"
Ty Lawson's heart was filled with panic. Wang Zelin's words were like adding salt to a wound, making his whole body sting.
More than 90% of NBA players in this era, especially every guard wearing No. 3 jersey, are more or less influenced by Iverson.
Only by experiencing it personally can you understand Iverson's status among black players.
Furrow braids, oversized knee-length shorts, long arm guards... and many other black elements, many of which were originally considered unattractive, became popular in the entire basketball world because of Iverson's emergence.
Especially the long arm guards.
What is clear is that Iverson was the first player in NBA history to use long arm braces.
He wears long arm guards simply because he has bursitis in his right arm.
However, handsome people can become fashionable in whatever they wear.
Just because the person who wore them was Allen Iverson, long arm guards eventually became one of the most popular pieces of basketball equipment today.
James posted an Instagram message during Allen Iverson's retirement ceremony: "You are the reason why I have tattoos, headbands, and arm guards."
Curry, who later caused a small ball storm, wore long arm guards in the first game of the 2017 Finals. In the post-game interview, he said this: "Actually, I have always wanted to be like Allen Iverson. This is the only one who can imitate him.
The way."
Therefore, he is also about 1.80 meters tall, he comes from a black street, and he had an unfortunate childhood... Ty Lawson must be one of Allen Iverson's loyal fans.
"Boy, let me tell you," Ty Lawson quickly stood up and raised his chin to look directly at Wang Zelin: "You can insult me, but you must not insult Allen. This is something I absolutely cannot bear!"
"..."
Wang Zelin was a little confused.
Have I ever insulted Iverson?
I do not have it!
From beginning to end, it was you who I insulted!
That's it, I even went to college.
I'm afraid it's not a fake, right?
If it were placed in the Chinese dynasty, Chinese reading and comprehension would be 100% foolproof.
In the end, Wang Zelin just complained a few words in his heart and did not talk to Ty Lawson verbally.
He is afraid that his IQ will be brought to the same level as the other person.
…
Some domestic basketball forums are very lively at this time.
"It's only been a few minutes, and the king has already built two!"
"Brothers, do you think it's possible for the king to break his single-game block record?"
"Hey, don't tell me, it's really possible!"
"Guys, I can't wait to see the king dominate the Asian Championships in August."
"The combination of King Ah Lian is so exciting just thinking about it!"
"Do you think it is King Ah Lian who is more powerful, or Yao Ah Lian?"
Once this question was raised, everyone on the forum was talking about it, but the competition was somewhat ignored.
Perhaps in their view, it is not natural for the Trail Blazers to win against the Nuggets.
On the field.
Because the ball was kicked out of bounds by Wang Zelin, the ball belongs to the Nuggets.
Nuggets attack, 11 seconds left.
Wilson Chandler served first and Ty Lawson ran in the frontcourt.
Wang Zelin was stuck in the high position while holding Costa Koufos while keeping an eye on Ty Lawson.
At this time, Ty Lawson caught the ball and turned around, suddenly accelerated, took a step away from Lillard, and cut into the three-point line in disguise. At the same time, Iguodala came out from the other side of the three-point line.
Unexpectedly, Ty Lawson did not fight hard, but flicked his right hand and passed it across to Iguodala who moved to the top of the key.
Iguodala's three-point shooting percentage this season is only 31.7%, which doesn't look high, but he also takes quite a few shots, averaging 3.6 per game.
Moreover, his three-point shooting percentage last season was as high as 39.4%, and he can seize wide-open opportunities.
I saw Iguodala catch the ball, bend his knees, and jump up.
But Ty Lawson was not in an optimistic mood, because he saw Trail Blazers 36 heading in a general direction.
After all, he is a tall man of seven feet one...can't he?
Ty Lawson prayed silently in his heart.
The result was the opposite.
Wang Zelin burst out from the middle, jumped up one meter away from the side, and slapped him in an instant.
"Snapped!"
In Iguodala's shock, the basketball instantly flew upside down and flew out of the court from the baseline again.
There was dead silence at Staples, and there was no cheering for a long time.
Perhaps even Trail Blazers fans didn't expect that Wang Zelin once again blocked a shot.
"What kind of freak is that kid? He can actually cover it up!"
On the sidelines, George Karl stood up in shock and looked at Wang Zelin as if he were looking at God.
"Beep!"
When the referee's whistle blew, the audience realized that the sound this time was different from the past.
Listen...it's MVP!
Wang Zelin landed and looked down at Iguodala with extremely cold eyes: "Remember, the three-point line is also a no-fly zone!"
"Click!"
This sentence was like an invisible giant hammer, hitting the hearts of all Nuggets players including Iguodala, making people shudder.
Another foul ball.
But this time there were only 2 seconds left. Wells Chandler missed the three-pointer from the outside after receiving the ball. Mike Roberts protected the rebound and handed it to Lillard.
positional warfare.
All the Trail Blazers players were outside the three-point line, leaving Wang Zelin alone under the basket.
"It's over!"
Kostakoufos couldn't help crying in his heart.
At this time the ball came in, Wang Zelin grabbed the ball with his left hand and leaned over to dribble.
Since the All-Star Game, Wang Zelin's lower body strength has finally broken through to 95, which is a huge difference.
95 and 94 brought him completely different feelings.
Just like the status of superstars and super giants in the hearts of fans.
Coupled with the upper body strength of 93, he even feels that he is the strongest overall strength among the active players in the league.
Howard's upper body strength is 2 points stronger than his own, but his lower body strength is weak compared to him. As for Duncan, his lower body strength is very strong, similar to himself, but his upper body strength is also not as good as his own.
Perhaps, he has really become the owner of the most powerful force in the alliance!
…
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin quickly turned around after dribbling, and his back hit Kostakoufos's chest fiercely.
"Um!"
Costa Koufos secretly raised his elbows, but Wang Zelin's strength was beyond his imagination. After being hit, he groaned and his feet couldn't help but weaken.
"drink!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zelin collided again after dribbling.
This time, Costa Koufos could no longer hold on and took a big step back. When he was still standing, Wang Zelin got room to turn, raised his left arm slightly, cleared the way with his elbow, protected the ball with his right hand, completed the turn, and violently hit the ball with both hands.
He got up and hit the ball into the basket with a bang.
"I've said it before, no one can guard the king one-on-one!"
"Maybe we have Mr. George Karl thinking that his center is better than Howard!"
Webb and Reggie Miller sang along on the sidelines, stirring up George Karl's nerves.
"Hahaha, man, you can consider asking your teammates to come over next time,
Don't worry, I won't mind!" Wang Zelin laughed.
"As if two people can guard against you!" Kostakoufos replied angrily.
Although it was only the first quarter, Wang Zelin already made him lose his temper.
What can you do if you can't prevent it?
Just bear with it!
…
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led by 8 points at 33:25.
Wang Zelin made 6 of 6 shots in a single quarter, with a shooting percentage of 100%. While scoring 13 points, he also contributed 3 blocks and 2 assists.
Everyone can see that the boy from China is going crazy again.
Opposite the Nuggets.
Center forward Kosta Koufos became the most miserable person in the game.
He committed three fouls in a single quarter and was substituted in the tenth minute. Orc Fareed was not much better, receiving two fouls.
In the next two minutes, George Karl came on as a substitute, and Wang Zelin was very familiar with it.
My Boy!
Youdao is that acquaintances only dominate acquaintances.
Wang Zelin was very excited to see McGee play, but he didn't expect McGee to be even more excited than him.
As soon as he came up, he sent a defensive interference ball!
He is indeed the king of ball interference in the NBA.
In the 2010-11 season, McGee interfered with the ball a total of 55 times, which was equivalent to giving away more than 100 points to his opponents, the most in history.
I have to admit that McGee's physical talent, both dynamic and static, is at the top of the league.
For example, McGee's defensive interference just now really scared Wang Zelin. During the break, he specifically checked McGee's strength analysis.
Unlike the Warriors version of McGee he inherited, McGee this season is at the peak of his physical fitness.
All of them make Wang Zelin salivate, but if he is given one or two items, he will not be able to spiral up to the sky.
I remember that in a "Sports Science" column last year, McGee easily fell 80 centimeters when he was pulled up on the spot.
I'm used to seeing the outside dunkers jumping 1 meter at a time, but these 80 centimeters don't seem so impressive...
But if you look at this thing combined with standing height.
A standing reach height of 291 and a vertical jump of 80 cm means that he can reach a height of 3.75 meters when he stands on the spot.
Refer to the record of center Mogao in NBA history.
Howard, who is No. 1, has a maximum measured run-up height of 3.81 meters.
O'Neal, who is second, has a maximum measured height of 3.78 meters during his run-up.
And McGee can jump up to 3.75 meters on the spot, which is terrifying!
"Pity……"
While lamenting McGee's talent, Wang Zelin also felt extremely sorry for this guy.
McGee, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is destined to be unable to concentrate on the field, which is extremely fatal for sports.
The last time we played against the Nuggets, McGee came on the court during garbage time. The two had no chance to face off. This time the Nuggets center committed too many fouls, and there was plenty of time to catch up with McGee.
At this time, Coach Terry pulled Wang Zelin to his side, then gathered everyone else and began to write and draw on the tactical board.
Later, Wang Zelin discovered that Coach Terry had prepared a lot of offensive tactics for him. Thinking about the next game, Coach Terry asked Wang Zelin to continue the attack as the main offensive point.
Of course, this arrangement is very reasonable.
The Nuggets center commits too many fouls, and the substitute center is notoriously stupid. For strong teams of similar strength, there is no need to overtake the opponent in front of them during the battle, and they only need to attack the opponent's weakest point.
"Everyone, please cooperate with Wang from the front.
Once the Nuggets center returns to play, Damien and Nicholas, you two must focus on increasing breakthroughs and get him off the court as soon as possible!"
After speaking, Coach Terry patted Wang Zelin on the shoulder.
He had a hunch: meeting Wang Zelin might be the luckiest thing in his career, just like when Sima Weiwei met Tim Duncan when he was a rookie.
He is confident that he and Wang Zelin will create a good story together.
