After habitually checking the overall score of the opposing lineup, Wang Zelin was really surprised by Harden's changes.
89!
How long has it been since then? Harden's ability rating has increased by two points. He is only one step away from becoming a superstar and a player. No wonder after this year, Harden will occupy a spot on the All-NBA First Team every year.
Harden, who has no worries and lets go, is growing at a terrifying rate!
He started 10 games in the regular season this season, playing 39.5 minutes, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game.
If the record hadn't dragged Harden down, he might have received the Player of the Week for the first time in his career.
Faced with Harden like this, Wang Zelin felt that it was too difficult for Batum to defend Harden.
He turned around and looked at Aldridge behind him. After making the latter confused, Wang Zelin turned around and patted his chest: "You have Brother Deng and I have Ade. There is no reason why we can't destroy Mosaic."
!”
"King, do you have something to say to me?"
Aldridge, who was trying out his shooting skills, came towards Wang Zelin with a puzzled look on his face.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I suddenly found that my passing talent has developed a second time in the past two days. I will pass the ball to you more during the game. Remember to pay attention."
Coincidentally, Wang Zelin really wanted to test his current 70-point passing ability and the power of his talent skill tonight tonight. When faced with Aldridge's question, he came right out of the gate.
"What are you talking about?"
I have heard of such a thing as "secondary development of physical talent". When will there be "secondary development of passing talent."
This explanation confused Aldridge even more.
Next, Wang Zelin directly called the other four starting players to his side and gave them the same explanation.
Facing the strange looks from everyone, Wang Zelin said without blushing: "When did I lie to you? When the time comes, remember to run more. As long as there is an opening, I will pass the ball to you immediately."
I have to say that if you have strength in the NBA, you can do whatever you want.
Although the teammates were still confused, looking back on Wang Zelin's past performance, they finally chose to believe it.
Just like Wang Zelin said, there is no reason why he could still lie to himself.
Coach Terry on the sidelines saw his starting five suddenly gathered together, and he had no doubts in his heart.
Maybe they are exchanging feelings!
At this time, Wang Zelin was surrounded by his teammates and was still talking plausibly. Although Coach Terry didn't know what Wang Zelin was talking about, he could tell from the frequent nodding of his teammates that his team had become more united.
Such a harmonious scene made many spectators on the sidelines suddenly feel that compared to Aldridge, Wang Zelin is more like the real boss of the Trail Blazers.
…
Soon the time came to 7:28 pm. Under the referee's signal, the two teams started to prepare for the game.
Wang Zelin came to the technical desk and adjusted the blue hairband on his head.
Perhaps influenced by his predecessor, Wang Zelin also has a fascination for hair ribbons, especially blue hair ribbons.
Maybe even Wang Zelin didn't expect that as the first Chinese player to wear a headband in the NBA, the headband has become a label on him. Many fans on the sidelines are also wearing Wang Zelin's same headband.
.
Harden also came over to add magnesium powder at this time.
Wiping it casually, Harden said to Wang Zelin: "Rookie, I have waited too long for this game. I hope you won't lose too badly by then."
"I really hope you can have this ability. In this case, my desire to fight will be stronger, but it's a pity... tsk tsk tsk tsk!"
Wang Zelin fixed the hair tie and took a handful of magnesium powder in his hand.
After finishing speaking, Wang Zelin didn't give Harden a chance to reply and turned directly to play.
"Shameless, actually setting off the cannon and then leaving."
Harden curled his lips and followed Wang Zelin onto the court.
The Trail Blazers' starting lineup remains the same.
The Mosaic team sent out a starting lineup of Jeremy Lin, Harden, Patterson, Parsons, and Asik.
Wang Zelin's opponent player Asik has reached the peak of his career, and his ability value has not changed in any way from the last time they met.
If Asik's defense was still a bit of a threat to Wang Zelin before, now that Wang Zelin's strength has broken through to a quasi-All-Star, Asik's defense is really useless.
At 7:30, the referee blew the whistle and put the ball in the air...
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin won the jump.
"My king!"
"..."
After the word "My King" was uttered many times by O'Neal, one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history, it has been unanimously loved by Portland fans. Whenever Wang Zelin plays a home game, many fans will be attracted by the wonderful shots.
Say the word spontaneously.
This also indirectly reflects that Wang Zelin's influence on Portland is becoming more and more important, and it will not take long for him to surpass the current boss Aldridge.
Fortunately, Aldridge has now looked away from the boss position. What he wants to do most now is to enjoy the endless fun of basketball and challenge for the O'Brien Cup with his teammates.
At the beginning of the game, players from both teams found their opponents and got entangled with them.
Under the old and new grudges, a fierce hand-to-hand battle is taking place.
Lillard reached outside the three-point line, and Jeremy Lin quickly followed up.
Facing the weak defensive Jeremy Lin, Lillard did not think about going it alone, but directly lobbed the ball to Wang Zelin, who had blocked Asker in the high post on the right side of the free throw line, and began to move without the ball.
"Now it's King's singles time, how will he teach Assi, um... how did King pass the ball?"
The home commentator was just starting to explain passionately, but suddenly he saw Wang Zelin just catching it and threw it back.
This is...an alley-oop!
At this time, Lillard was circling from the left corner to the right. When he reached the left side of the left triangle, he suddenly saw an orange-red round object flying in the sky.
It's the king's pass!
"Farkle!"
Lillard was taken aback by Wang Zelin's bold move, but he didn't have time to think about it. He used the momentum to jump into the sky, quickly caught the basketball with his quick eyes, and dunked it back with both hands with his back to the basket.
"boom!"
2:0 start.
"Man, my passing is not bad!"
Wang Zelin is still immersed in the shock brought to him by the skills of Miao Chuan Tian Wang.
After receiving the ball, Wang Zelin seemed to have an offensive and defensive line diagram with the distribution of player positions in his mind, and his control of the timing of the pass was much clearer than in previous games.
It turns out that passing a good ball can give such pleasure!
After dunking the ball, Lillard still felt incredible in his heart, and a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Okay sister, do you know that I was so frightened just now!"
Looking at the embarrassed Wang Zelin in front of him, Lillard suppressed his temper and gritted his teeth and spit out two words.
"Good ball!"
…
"God, it's rare for a center to throw an lob to a point guard, but so what, don't forget we are the city of lobs!"
After being stunned for just a moment, the voice of the home commentator quickly resounded throughout the audience.
“We are the city of lobs!”
“We are the city of lobs!”
The surrounding Trail Blazers fans turned into repeaters and repeated the last words of the commentator.
Seeing Wang Zelin and Lillard's passes and attacks, Coach Terry on the sidelines felt his heart skip a beat.
What kind of plane is Wang doing?
Got a convulsion?
Center passing to defender?
Gift crab!
Coach Terry's throat was filled with 404 language.
Seeing Wang Zelin adopt such a unique offense for the first time, Coach Terry suddenly remembered Wang Zelin's data during the team's training match in the morning.
If I remember correctly, Wang played extremely selflessly and actively in the morning training match. He seemed to have received 7 assists!
emmm...and there were 6 mistakes at the same time.
For a moment, Coach Terry had a bad delusion in his mind.
No way, no way...
…
Return to the field.
Although Wang Zelin's sudden convulsion caught his teammates and opponents off guard, Harden didn't think much about it. He took the ball from the backcourt and quickly moved it forward.
"Oh, it's like this again!"
Jeremy Lin, who also extended his hand on the other side, sighed helplessly and quickly moved to the frontcourt to take his position.
After Harden came to the frontcourt, Batum followed hard.
After understanding that Harden was difficult to guard, Coach Terry's defensive strategy for Batum was to fight Harden hand-to-hand and try his best to consume Harden's energy as quickly as possible.
Facing Batum, who was always pestering the mad dog, Harden, who was still a good boy, faced him without fear, firmly controlled the ball in his hands and began to show off his skills.
After continuous dribbling at the hip, he suddenly turned left and broke through to the paint area.
Wang Zelin, who was turning the corner on the right, quickly shrank in and blocked Harden's offensive line.
Facing such a big man, Harden would not be stubborn and passed the ball to Patterson who had just entered the three-second zone without hesitation.
At this time, Patterson happened to reach the basket with the help of Parsons' pick-and-roll from the outside. After receiving the ball, he easily made a layup.
A very classic scoring play!
After a period of running-in, the tactical cooperation between Harden and his teammates has become better and better.
"Guys, it's still the same, pay more attention to my passing in a while."
After picking up the ball, Wang Zelin immediately said something to his teammates.
"..."
Lillard advanced to the frontcourt, and after Wang Zelin pulled out to cover, he immediately moved down from the high post. Lillard ran towards the mid-range on the right side and passed the ball to Wang Zelin who came to the paint area.
"Don't even think about it!"
Asik and Parsons quickly made up for it, and everyone at Mosaic can still remember how explosive Wang Zelin's offensive ability at the basket was.
After Wang Zelin was stuck, he caught a glimpse of Aldridge cutting into the basket from the high position on the left. The corner of his mouth suddenly tilted and he turned around quickly.
He wants to shoot!
After so many games, Wang Zelin's shooting ability has been recognized by the outside world. He is recognized as the first-class among big players and must be guarded against.
Asik and Parsons both jumped to block the shot at the same time, but they were unable to catch the rising basketball.
Where did the ball go?
"boom!"
The familiar sound of shooting came from behind Asik.
Through the replay on the big screen, the players on the mosaic field saw clearly what just happened.
Just as Wang Zelin was halfway through his turn, he passed the ball and assisted Aldridge, who cut in, to complete a two-handed dunk.
That guy's strength has changed again!
Harden, who was on the outside, watched the attack repeatedly played on the big screen, and his heart was filled with chills.
Suddenly I felt that the prospects for this game had become a little bleak.
