Chapter 490: 8 blocks in a single game, win over the Heat
After the pause.
James received the serve from the backcourt and moved it to the entire court step by step.
The key goal will undoubtedly be handled by the Heat's strongest player.
Can the Little Emperor save the Heat?
At this moment, not only the Heat fans who came to the scene, but also the fans in Miami who were watching the game before the transformation, all became nervous.
The next attack is quite critical. Only by scoring can the Heat's morale in the middle of the game be sustained; if they fail to score, the Heat will basically be finished tonight.
In the Heat's offense, James did not choose to start at the three-point line, but entered the low post, and then posted up Batum.
According to statistics, James' shooting percentage at the basket this season has reached a career high of 79.6%, which is infinitely close to 80%. This is a statistic that many high-quality insiders cannot match.
As a perimeter player with a height of 2.03 meters, James's shooting percentage at the basket is inseparable from the back-up skills he practiced crazily after losing to the Mavericks one year.
Now, James, who has won two consecutive championships, is bound to become more and more skilled in his back-up skills. Batum can't resist it at all!
"LeBron, familiar position, skilled turnaround jumper...Oh, Shet, he is the king! How did he appear in that position?"
Kenny Smith suddenly hit his mouth mid-sentence, with a look of shock on his face.
It’s Wang Zelin again!
He once again made timely defense!
Including James on the court, after turning around after a back-up shot, as soon as the ball was released, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes...
Why is he here?
James was dumbfounded on the spot, and his brain shut down for a while.
"Snapped!"
There was a loud noise and the ball was slapped hard and flew out of bounds.
The whole place was silent, and then, deafening cheers spread instantly. Everyone stood up, applauded crazily, and celebrated crazily...
Celebrate the birth of Wang Zelin’s record of 7 blocks in a single game in the finals!
Suddenly, a series of data was displayed on the big screen.
Since 1985, when the NBA officially bid farewell to the barbaric era and entered the modern basketball system, it has held the top 10 records in single-game blocks in the NBA Finals.
At the top of the list is the record of 16 points, 21 rebounds, 9 blocks, 4 steals and 2 assists in the 2008~2009 season when Dwight Howard led the Magic against the Lakers.
The most blocks in a single game in the Finals is held by Howard.
Still behind Howard, Duncan Duncan in the 2002~2003 season finals, Shaquille O'Neal in the 2000~2001 season finals, Parker Ewing in the 1993~1994 season finals and 1985~1986 season finals
Hakeem Olajuwon tied for four and scored 8 blocks in a single game.
Then there are the winners of the record of 7 blocks in a single game 5 times, and most of the names of these record holders are on it, so I won’t count them in detail.
In 5 games with 7 blocks on the spot, Duncan did it 2 times, Ewing once, Olajuwon once, and... Bynum also did it 1 time in the 2009-10 Purple and Yellow War Finals.
Second-rate.
And now, behind these great records, a new name will be added, and he is No. 36 Wang Zelin from the Portland Trail Blazers.
There is no doubt that when Wang Zelin's 7 blocks appeared on this list, the Blazers were ecstatic, but for the Heat, it was another huge blow.
Don't forget, tonight's game is not over yet, there is still a whole quarter left.
Judging from Wang Zelin's current state, it is entirely possible for him to push his shot-blocking record forward...
8 goals in a single game?
No, 9 goals in a single game is not impossible.
Even... comparable to the peak Warcraft!
At this moment, in Pioneer 36, they saw a broad future as vast as the stars and the sea!
"It's stable! This game is stable! Look, you have to rely on defense at critical moments! Defense is the best way to win the finals!"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"James was confused by this wave of defense. No, the entire Heat team was confused by the King's defense. The Trail Blazers must pursue the victory!"
Yu Jia was equally excited.
As they said, in the last one or two minutes of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on the violent morale driven by Wang Zelin's epic defensive performance, and the entire team defended to the extreme.
In the next round they lost, except for Wade's breakthrough layup, which caused Aldridge to foul, and he scored 2 points on two free throws, no one on the Heat team scored.
78:70, the Trail Blazers entered the final quarter with an 8-point advantage.
The point difference seems to be small, and the Heat seems to have the possibility of reversal, but everyone knows that the Heat are unable to make a comeback in this game.
Everyone understands that since Wang Zelin surpassed the red giant Bill Walton, set the record for the most blocks in a single game in the Trail Blazers' history, and successfully entered the history list of blocks in a single game in the Finals, the door to victory is really wide open for them.
During the break, the director would from time to time show the camera to the current NBA stars and retired celebrities who came to watch the game.
Among them, Shaquille O'Neal and Bill Walton had the most energy time. All of them added up to only about 20 seconds. These two legendary NBA centers occupied a full 10 seconds of the scene, 5 seconds each.
When the camera shot the two of them, O'Neal and Bill Walton smiled and raised their heads, saying hello to the fans around the world who were watching the game through the camera.
Finally, the camera returned to the Trail Blazers before the bench, and was fixed on Trail Blazers No. 36, who always maintained a serious expression.
From a great center who has long since retired to the current number one center in the league, his intentions are more than just that...
Center inheritance!
Yes, tonight's finals can be regarded as a classic game in Wang Zelin's career. Even if he loses to the Heat in the next series, this game will become an eternal memory in the hearts of a generation.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because in this name from China, countless fans can see that the torch of center inheritance has never been cut off.
…
Entering the final section.
The coaches on both sides have not made personnel adjustments because they know that this is already the strongest lineup the team can field.
First attack.
Trail Blazers possession.
Lillard had just received the ball in the backcourt, and suddenly, tens of thousands of Trail Blazers fans in the audience stood up and shouted:
"Give the ball to the king!"
"Give the ball to the king!"
"Give the ball to the king!"
TNT commentary booth.
Kenneth Smith poked Barkley next to him with his elbow. Facing the latter's confused look, he sighed:
"Charles, I seem to have seen the birth of a new king!"
"The birth of a new king?"
Not only Barkley, but fans watching this game all over the world are pondering this sentence carefully.
yes!
There is a saying that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach!"
Since entering modern basketball, the NBA has been updating and iterating faster and faster. How long has it been since LeBron James sat on the throne? New challengers are already eager to try.
A new king is born?!
On the court, James naturally heard Kenneth Smith's words, and who the "new king" in the words refers to does not need to be said.
Of course, James will not give up the league's supreme throne to others, but when he thinks of the "impeccable" performance of the boy opposite tonight, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly comes over him.
In the blink of an eye, Lillard arrived in the frontcourt.
Without hesitation, his choice was to pass the ball to Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin caught the ball, faced Birdman's defense, and bent down to take a step. The latter quickly backed away, completely frightened by Wang Zelin's actions.
However, the expected physical collision did not occur. Wang Zelin retracted his right foot, raised his hand to press his wrist, and hit the target.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Although it was not the violent rim-bombing performance that was expected, when the fans at the scene saw Wang Zelin scoring points on his opponent in a leisurely manner, cheers soon started.
At 80:70, the Trail Blazers took a 10-point lead.
"The Heat urgently need someone to step up and score... Oh, Dwayne's mid-range shot was short!"
"The rebounds were collected by Wang, wait a minute, why did his rebound data reach 15!"
"In transition between offense and defense, the Trail Blazers made a quick layup and made a beautiful alley-oop layup! What are the Heat team doing? Are you sleepwalking?"
"Ray Allen's three-point shot was interfered with..."
One side wanted to chase points urgently, and the other side wanted to end the game early. The game fell into a state of intense excitement.
Then, the leading side chose to make progress steadily, while the lagging side played more and more impatiently.
Unknowingly, most of the final quarter of the game was already underway. As the referee blew his whistle, all members of the Heat team walked towards the bench with heavy steps, as if they had woken up from a state of dehydration.
After returning to the bench and wiping the sweat from his face, James seemed to remember something and suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the scoreboard. He had not lowered his head for a long time.
"LeBron, you did your best."
Heat coach Spoelstra came to James at some point and gently patted the latter's shoulder. He also glanced at the scoreboard, then lowered his head and shook his head:
"We lost this game!"
It turned out that the scoreboard clearly showed that the score between the two teams was 96:79, and the Heat had fallen behind by a full 17 points.
There are only the last three minutes before the end of the game.
Comparing the difference in the status of the players of the two teams at this time, it is not easy to equalize 17 points in three minutes.
I'm afraid, it's not necessarily as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"we lose?"
After hearing the coach's words, James lowered his head sadly and muttered to himself like a deflated rubber ball.
"we lose!"
Around me, when other Heat players discovered that their boss's state had become so negative, let alone them.
Back on the field for now.
When the camera showed the Heat, people suddenly discovered that the Big Three of James, Wade, and Bosh were all sitting quietly off the court, and the Big Three of the Heat did not play.
Did the Heat choose to give up the game?
This seemingly incredible idea suddenly appeared in some people's minds. After all, they are the defending champions!
However, when they saw the big score difference on the scoreboard, they suddenly understood something.
That's right, the game may have been doomed to the Heat's defeat the moment the Blazers' No. 36 exploded.
It really doesn't make much sense to hold on to such a competition.
Just as some fans were lamenting that the game had officially ended and there was not much to see, and were preparing to leave, the sound of carnival suddenly came from all around.
What happened to the kidney?
The fans who had not paid attention to the game just now were frightened and suddenly looked around. After finally getting the prompt to treat the patient, they fixed their eyes on the big screen.
It turned out that in the Heat's offensive round after a timeout, Heat substitute Michael Beasley went to the basket and tried to dunk, but was eventually blocked by Trail Blazers No. 36.
The patron saint of the pioneers once again successfully defended his territory with a bloody warning.
"This is my territory, please get out!"
A seemingly innocuous sentence, coupled with the home DJ's crazy shout of "8th shot," made the scene on the court forever engraved in everyone's mind.
Block 8?
This is...the 8th blocked shot!
Everyone is amazed by it.
In front of the Heat bench, James and Wade looked at each other in confusion, and both saw the bitter smiles on each other's faces at this moment.
"Dwayne, maybe we were right to give up this game!"
James felt extremely helpless.
After returning to the bench and sitting down, James, who covered his head with a towel, simulated every bit of tonight's game over and over again in his mind, but in the end he found that in the face of such numbers, he simply could not
Can't find the key to victory.
Sensing James's low mood, Wade ignored his admiration for Wang Zelin's magical performance and quickly looked at the former seriously:
"LeBron, don't say these depressing words! King is in such great shape tonight, the game we played can only be said to be God's arrangement. But I still don't believe it. In every subsequent game, he can maintain his performance.
