After landing, Wang Zelin just said something coldly towards Green, and then quickly returned to defense.
What first?
Green was confused, but time did not allow him to think too much. After serving the baseline ball, he quickly ran forward.
The Warriors' offense continues to focus on pick-and-rolls.
Green receives the ball at the top of the arc to provide support, observes the movements of his teammates, and is always ready to deal the cards.
At this time, Curry moved without the ball from the three-point line on the right to meet Green at the top of the arc. The two passed the ball hand-to-hand. After switching defenses, Aldridge quickly caught up with Curry, but Lira was behind him.
Germany, but couldn't stop Green's penetration.
In the future, the Warriors' five-small lineup of death once frightened all NBA teams. This lineup can also be said to be a style of play that emphasizes speed and counterattack, screen and pick-and-roll quality, three-pointers and defense changes!
In the death five small lineup, it is Green who serves as the tactical engine. Because Green, who is 2.01 meters tall, has excellent defensive ability, rebounding ability and organizational ability, and when he serves as the fourth position, he also has certain mismatch attributes.
.
That is to say, those who are taller are not as fast as him, and those who are fast are not as strong as him!
The former describes his position after facing off against the opponent's fourth position, while the latter simply describes his opportunity to misplace the opponent's player in singles after the pick-and-roll.
For example, now, after a pick-and-roll switch, Lillard has no way to deal with Green's strong attack. He is beaten to death. Green's strong physique makes him feel like when facing James' switch.
It's a coincidence that among Green's many nicknames in the future, there happened to be the "poor man's version of James", because he not only had a strong body, but was also known for his all-around skills. He often played the same role as James on the court.
An organizational forward.
"The Warriors broke through on the 23rd, and he was going to dunk... Oh, wait, a big shot from Wang! God, he completely dominated the basket tonight!"
The on-site commentator went crazy.
When the fans around him saw Wang Zelin blocking the shot, they screamed wildly.
At the same time, Wang Zelin took off a second time after landing, grabbed the rebound, and immediately handed it to Lillard.
Green, who was blocked, reacted very quickly, strode like lightning, and quickly returned to defense. He also had an idea in his mind, which was to impersonate Wang Zelin.
At this time, players from both sides were racing furiously, racing against time to be the first to reach the opposite half.
But in the end, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lillard, Wang Zelin and Green who were running at the front.
"Do you want to play alley-oop again? Humph, you can't even hope to succeed!"
When Green saw Lillard slowing down after rushing into the three-point line, he immediately sensed the opponent's intention and exerted force on his feet again, getting faster and faster.
At this moment, Green felt that his legs were about to break. However, as soon as he saw that his and Wang Zelin's birthdays were getting closer, all the pain disappeared instantly.
After being criticized so many times, this time it’s my turn!
Green thought in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Lillard rushed into the penalty area, slammed the ball on the ground, and rushed out of the baseline.
Suddenly, Wang Zelin arrived in time, jumped into the sky with one foot, and caught the basketball that bounced into the air...
Almost at the same time, Green behind him also took off, and kept extending his long right palm to slap the ball in Wang Zelin's hand.
"Snapped!"
Unfortunately, Green underestimated Wang Zelin's jumping height and hit his right arm with a slap, making a huge noise.
Beep~~
The referee blew the whistle immediately, but the two men had not yet landed from the air and the attack continued.
"You're too soft!"
Wang Zelin roared in the air, completely dismissive of Green's level of obstruction. He continued to exert force, and after being fouled, he poured the ball into the basket!
“Beautiful! Wang’s alley-oop dunk! There’s also an extra penalty!
"
The on-site commentator shouted happily.
Green landed first and looked at Wang Zelin in disbelief. Even after being whistled, he did not react with any excitement as usual.
"This is the second one!"
What Green didn't expect was that the Trail Blazers in front of him, No. 36, just left a cold word after landing and walked to the free throw line.
The second one? The second one? The second one!
At this time, thinking of the first one mentioned above, Green suddenly woke up and understood what Wang Zelin meant.
The boy on the opposite side wants to destroy his defense head-on!
But what makes Green feel even more desperate is that no matter how hard he tries in these rounds, he can't limit Wang Zelin's performance. As a Warriors defender, Green feels extremely angry and deeply helpless in his heart!
Angry at his incompetence on the defensive end tonight; helpless at Wang Zelin's suffocating offensive and defensive abilities on the field.
"Whoosh!"
At the free throw line, as Wang Zelin made a free throw, the tie was 2 1. The score between the two sides changed to 96:91, and the Trail Blazers regained a 5-point lead.
Looking at the score on the scoreboard, Green immediately came to his senses, gritted his teeth, took a few breaths, and his eyes regained their determination.
After all, Green, who was able to reach the power forward position of the Western Conference Finals team from a mere second-round pick, has a high level of mental maturity and on-court intelligence that cannot be compared to ordinary people.
Everything that can't kill me will only make me stronger!
No matter how many people in future generations hate Green, his entire career has been an interpretation of this sentence.
After passing the ball to Curry in the backcourt, Green regained his energy and passion and quickly ran to the frontcourt, and this time, his goal was very clear.
After halftime, under the surprised gazes of the surrounding fans, Green took the initiative to find the Trail Blazers No. 36, who is recognized as the most difficult to deal with on the court - Wang Zelin!
So what about the elite?
What labor and management do is the elite!
After a physical collision with Wang Zelin in the low post on the right side, Green's face was full of ferocity and unruliness.
Regarding Green's amazing move, whether it was Curry, Thomson and others on the court, or Kerr, David Lee, Barbosa and others on the sidelines, they were all deeply affected by the fearless fighting spirit displayed by Green.
The next moment, the faces of all Warriors members were full of fighting spirit, and everyone vowed to win tonight's game.
I have to admit that as an opponent, Green is definitely the player that every team hates the most; but as a teammate, Green's unlimited passion on the court is definitely a valuable asset that every team needs to cherish.
To use an old saying, he is a hero and I am a thief!
After arriving in the frontcourt, Curry dribbled the ball twice, then shot a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right wing!
This is Curry’s sixth three-pointer in tonight’s game, which is quite an exaggeration!
After scoring the goal, Curry patted his chest twice and looked to the sky, while pointing the index finger of his right hand towards the sky.
Day and day mode, full firepower!
"This guy's hand speed is too ridiculous..."
Lillard, who was facing off, was a little confused by Curry's pull-up three-pointer. It can also be said that he was in a state of confusion throughout the entire match against Curry tonight.
In fact, after the two played against each other several times, even Lillard had to admit that his accomplishments in the field of three-pointers may really be inferior to his opponent's.
But he still couldn't understand why the baby-faced guy in front of him could always shoot so confidently, as if he was a born three-pointer.
And because Curry's shooting speed is so fast, he can even do it for 0.3 seconds when he is in a hot state. This allows Curry to hit pull-up three-pointers in front of Lillard many times tonight.
96:94!
After Curry scored, the point difference between the two teams returned to one goal.
However, the next scene caused the Blazers' morale to skyrocket again.
The Warriors prepared to continue the three-man double-team, but Wang Zelin's sudden acceleration suddenly broke the Warriors' arrangement and caused their three-man double-team to fail.
Seeing that something was wrong, Green and Barnes quickly changed direction and rushed towards the basket.
But when Wang Zelin completed the breakthrough against BoGt and reached the penalty area, it was too late.
"boom!"
Wang Zelin dunked with one arm and scored a goal.
Beep~~
The referee blew the whistle again, pointed at BoGt, and made a gesture indicating that the thug had fouled.
This time, both Bogt and Green became anxious. They quickly walked towards the referee and wanted to defend themselves. Bogt made an innocent expression.
Unfortunately, the referee didn't accept this. Not only did he ignore the two men, but after being surrounded by two big men and chattering for a while, the referee's expression suddenly turned cold and he stared at BoGt and Green.
"hiss!"
Realizing that nothing could be done and that it would be worse to continue, Green and Borgette looked at each other, then reluctantly retreated to both sides of the free throw line.
At this time, another voice like a devil's whisper sounded in Green's ears.
"This is the third one!"
Upon hearing this voice, Green's expression suddenly changed, and his half-bent body froze.
When he raised his head with difficulty, he happened to meet Wang Zelin's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, which made him feel even more angry.
"Haha, there is no problem with the whistle. Wang responded hard to his opponent with a tough 2 + 1!" The on-site commentator was so excited that he danced with excitement, as if he was going to jump to the commentator's stage to dance a good song at the next moment.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Zelin made a free throw, 99:94, and the Trail Blazers continued to lead by 5 points.
The Warriors attacked, Curry took the ball on the left wing, and then challenged Lillard one-on-one to continue his performance.
At a time like this, no matter what tactics you use, it's nonsense. Giving the ball to the stars to solve the problem is the way to go.
If the Trail Blazers' best ball-handling option is Wang Zelin, then Curry is the Warriors' best ball-handling option.
Facing the defense, Curry kept dribbling the ball, and with the help of Barnes' pick-and-roll, he quickly drew his gun. The basketball flew in the air for a while, and finally fell into the net bag.
"Whoosh!"
The 7th three-pointer of the game was hit!
At the same time, the personal scoring data tonight also reached 30 points, leading the audience!
Behind him, Wang Zelin came back on the scene in the last quarter and scored 8 points in a row, bringing his personal score to 26 points!
At this time, the two of them are like a pair of twin stars that complement each other on the court, both using their best methods to help their team score continuously.
Curry relies on three-pointers to win from the outside, while Wang Zelin dominates the basket inside.
Now, it depends on who of the two cuts off the power first.
The Blazers have the ball and position their offense.
However, this time Wang Zelin did not stay in the low post as soon as he came up. He became more flexible and moved to the high post to pick and roll for Lillard.
Lillard tried to break through through the pick-and-roll, but found that Curry was still haunting him.
Speaking of which, Curry and Lillard are also a pair of old enemies, but the relationship between the two is more reflected in Curry and Lillard!
Although in different time and space, this special attribute is still displayed in Curry.
However, Lillard, who was stopped, was not in a hurry. He calmly flicked his wrist. BoGt noticed something was wrong and turned around quickly, but Wang Zelin had already received the ball and broke through!
"Be on guard! Be on guard!"
Cole, who was sitting on the coach's chair on the sidelines, jumped up with a "swish" and shouted at BoGt, Green and others.
This ball could not bring Wang Zelin closer to the basket no matter what, so Barnes stretched out his long arm, but did not choose to cut the basketball, but acted as a blocker. Green quickly moved sideways to the basket.
Even with four fouls, he was still fearless.
But there is no doubt that when Green was attracted to the basket, Aldridge was naturally released. Aldridge, who felt hot tonight, quickly added another assist to Wang Zelin's statistics.
With 26 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, Wang Zelin is about to have another triple-double in the playoffs.
But compared to a triple-double, the most important thing in Wang Zelin's mind is always victory.
Especially victory against the Warriors, this is what he desires most.
The Trail Blazers scored two more points, but the Warriors failed to respond.
The first two three-pointers allowed the Trail Blazers to once again clearly feel their ability to chase points by shooting three-pointers, especially when their opponent is a team with Curry and Thompson, the top two shooters in the league.
They decisively stepped up their defense against Curry and Thomson in the next round.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the next round, Curry did not force a shot after being double-teamed by two people. Instead, like Wang Zelin before, he chose to assist an open teammate and found the ball before it died.
Thompson in the corner.
However, when Thompson received the ball and was about to take off, he was met by Wang Zelin, who was flying to cover up the defense. Thomson was immediately startled, so that the next shot was not connected, and the shot was slightly stiff. In the end,
The shot missed the frame.
Under the basket, Aldridge and Green actively fought for each other. In the end, Aldridge relied on his height advantage to protect this valuable backcourt rebound.
When Lillard received the ball, the first person he subconsciously looked for was Wang Zelin, but he found that Wang Zelin had already rushed to the center circle and made a decisive long pass...
"boom!"
After receiving the ball in the middle circle, facing the unguarded Warriors basket, Wang Zelin rushed in and successfully completed the basket-breaking performance, helping the team score two more points.
At 103:97, the score difference between the two sides reached 6 points, and there was finally a trend of being pulled away. The Trail Blazers finally saw the hope of winning G1.
What is somewhat surprising is that even at this time, Warriors coach Cole did not choose to call a timeout, as if he was determined to leave the game to the players on the field.
Offense and defense transition, the Warriors attack.
The Warriors, who were originally forced to chase points and eager to defeat the Trail Blazers and win the first game of the Western Conference Finals, showed obvious impatience in handling the ball after the two teams entered the final quarter of the game and the score difference was widened to 5 points for the first time.
As Curry took a quick shot after the two-man pick-and-roll at the top of the arc but failed to score, the Trail Blazers launched another fast break and successfully ended it. The score difference between the two sides suddenly reached 8 points.
At this time, there was not much time left in the game, only a few minutes. The warriors, who became more and more panicked and chaotic as they fought, finally lost the game after hitting the iron again and again.
