Chapter 1030 60 points in three quarters, eye sealing is good
In the Rose Garden Arena, countless fans who watched the live broadcast of this game were wondering, what kind of two monsters are these?
At the same time, I feel lucky that we watched the game tonight.
After Curry went 3-1, the Trail Blazers attacked. Jokic passed the ball without looking at anyone and found Wang Zelin who was about to reach the three-point line. When the ball came to the man, Wang Zelin caught the ball and sniped instantly!
Boom——!
When the gun fired, the smile on Wang Zelin's face became even brighter.
The 8th three-pointer tonight was also his 50th point tonight!
"50 points! The king's 50th point!!!"
Tencent Sports, Yang Yi said excitedly.
Mina on the side was also fascinated by it, her beautiful eyes were full of spring, and there was an undercurrent surging there, so she had no choice but to silently tighten her legs.
On the court, the Warriors attacked, and this time Curry was strong.
After running continuously, he failed to get rid of the defender. At the last moment, he encountered Batum's defensive attack. Curry failed to hit a difficult three-point shot and temporarily quit the day-to-day mode.
Sometimes, blacksmithing can really be contagious.
The Blazers' offense was also able to score. Wang Zelin turned over and made a mid-range jumper, paying homage to the volute in disguise, turning his head into an iron.
In transition between offense and defense, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers.
In the commentary box, commentators from all over the world found a chance to drink water, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If these two eldest brothers continue to be so awesome, how will this game be explained?
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin failed to make a low hook shot, but it didn't matter, he still shot himself and grabbed the ball.
Wang Zelin, who succeeded in clearing the board, took advantage of his height advantage under the basket and hit high in front of Rooney.
At this moment, Rooney felt the greatest malice in the world!
I'm just a substitute, just a part-time worker. Why do you always bully me? Uh-huh-huh...
Mr. Wang said that he really liked punching monsters.
After a back-to-back hit, Wang Zelin turned around and plucked green onions again. Wang Zelin dunked on Rooney.
At 82:76, the Trail Blazers continued to lead.
The Warriors attacked, and under Cole's repeated roars, Curry quickly regained his senses and participated in the team's tactical coordination.
Through standard pass-cut coordination, this is the Warriors' specialty. The Warriors' main frame has played together with the Trail Blazers for many years. After Curry gave Green a wink, Green gave Thompson a wink.
As for what you want to express, feel it yourself!
I saw Curry and Thompson cross-running on the strong side, Curry took away the defender, and Thompson succeeded in an open three-pointer, 79:82!
Although Thompson looks like a humble gentleman, this guy is not only a playboy off the court, but also a ruthless character on the court. He may suddenly shine like a Buddha at any time and catch his opponents off guard.
The Blazers attack, the familiar high-position pick-and-roll.
As the Trail Blazers' second biggest offensive point tonight, Lillard even had a three-pointer with Curry in the first quarter. As long as the Warriors dare to let him go, who knows who will let him go?
Wang Zelin followed up and Lillard immediately threw the ball. The ball was just right in terms of power and accuracy.
The Huaxia aerial bomber took off, and ground forces Rooney and Green said they had not installed anti-missile systems.
"boom!"
Wang Zelin simply dunked the ball into the basket, scoring 52 points in the third quarter.
On the sidelines, Warriors coach Kerr requested a timeout.
Back on the bench, Curry glanced at Wang Zelin, and Rooney communicated with his teammates with a depressed look: "Brother, I really tried my best."
It’s not that I don’t want to guard against him, it’s just that the guy opposite is so outrageous that I can’t do anything about it!
"well!"
Cole sighed, looked back at Rooney, and patted the latter on the shoulder.
"Kevin, you have defended well enough. Don't forget, the opponent is the number one player in the NBA!"
"Even if Michael comes, he can probably only do this."
It was okay that Cole didn't speak, but his comfort made the Warriors players even more urgent.
After all, Cole worked with Michael Jordan as a player, and he is more qualified than anyone else to evaluate Jordan's greatness back then.
According to what Cole just said, he is already comparing Wang Zelin with Jordan.
"Is that guy so powerful?"
Green complained in a low voice in displeasure.
In response, none of the surrounding teammates responded.
Everyone expressed their inner attitude through silence.
As far as tonight's game is concerned, even if Jordan comes, his performance will only be on par with Wang Zelin at best, so what Cole said subconsciously just now is not wrong.
Jordan is often hailed as the God who wears jersey No. 23, but now, God has put on jersey No. 36 of the Trail Blazers and is playing with the Warriors.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Green made a mistake, Batum stole the ball and launched a fast break.
Just as the primary school boy and the Grim Reaper were chasing after each other frantically, Batum looked back and passed the ball like he was looking at the moon.
Wang Zelian, who followed, made a slight adjustment outside the three-point line and pulled it up on the spot. The basketball was in mid-air, like a full moon scimitar, piercing the Warriors' basket.
Swish——!
The 55th point is also Wang Zelin’s ninth three-pointer tonight!
"Stephen, it seems that I will break the record before you." After scoring, Wang Zelin glanced at Curry not far away, and Curry also turned around, and the two looked at each other from a distance.
The Trail Blazers fans in the Rose Garden Arena are in a state of collective excitement... Ahem, sorry, they really don't have any drops now, and they really can't get up.
When the Warriors attacked, double-teamed by Lillard and Patton, Curry could only pass Green back, and Green's shot from the top of the arc bounced out of the frame.
Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound and turned around to launch a fast break.
But this time, the Warriors' defensive strategy was very clear, except for Wang Zelin. In the end, Wang Zelin passed a long pass to Jokic.
After receiving the ball, Jokic went to the basket. Facing Rooney's defense, he did not panic or rush, and made a very smart slow three-step layup.
The two years of traveling to China were not in vain. On a whim, Jokic learned Tai Chi from Grandpa Park and successfully integrated it into his basketball skills. He used a slow move to hit a fast one, which made Rooney punch the cotton.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the remaining time, because the Warriors faced Wang Zelin and launched a frenzied multi-player attack, he was forced to reduce his shots, using himself as bait, and frequently sent wonderful passes to his teammates.
Lillard and Batum are mainly responsible for shooting from the outside, and Jokic takes the cake from the inside. His scoring in the second half is no longer so explosive.
On the Warriors' side, Curry received basically the same defensive treatment as Wang Zelin, and his scoring data was also greatly reduced. Fortunately, Durant and Thompson began to show their strength, and continued to score to help the Warriors cling to the score.
After three quarters, 107:100, the Trail Blazers scored 34 points in a single quarter, slightly better than the Warriors who scored 31 points in a single quarter, widening the point difference to 7 points.
The first attack of the final quarter was still the Blazers' possession, and the goddess of victory seemed to be waving to them.
In the third quarter, Wang Zelin combined sudden shots and passes, making 5 of 7 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws in a single quarter. He only scored 16 points, his lowest score in a single quarter tonight.
However, his scoring in the first three quarters still exceeded 60 points, becoming the third player in the new century to score at least 60 points in the first three quarters.
Since then, he and Thompson have tied for second place in the NBA player's first three quarter scoring record list since the new century.
As for the big brother?
That must be the "Black Mamba" - Kobe Bryant, who scored 62 points in the first three quarters during the Lakers' home game against the Mavericks on December 21, 2005. His personal score exceeded the score of the Mavericks team!
If it weren't for the adjustment of the Warriors' defensive strategy in the second half, Wang Zelin would have broken Kobe's record of 62 points in three quarters. Will he only score 16 points in a single quarter despite his hot hand?
Now after three quarters, Wang Zelin has "only" scored 60 points. Chamberlain's 100-point score in a single game is getting further and further away. After all, there has never been a 40-point performance in a single quarter in NBA history.
However, 22 points in a single quarter broke Kobe's record of 81 points in a single game. He is still very hopeful to achieve it!
After a two-minute break, the final quarter begins.
The head coaches on both sides tacitly fielded their strongest lineups.
For the Warriors, Cole sent out a five-small lineup of Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Green, and Durant.
This is also the strongest version of the "Five Death" lineups of the Warriors in previous generations that many fans remember!
It was with this lineup that the Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers for two consecutive years in the 2017 and 2018 Finals, winning two consecutive championships and achieving three championships in four years.
achievements, and finally successfully established the Warriors Dynasty.
For the Trail Blazers, coach Terry sent out an unlimited defensive lineup of Beverley, Button, Batum, Harrell, and Wang Zelin.
If the Warriors' current five-small lineup is called the strongest spear, then the Trail Blazers' late-quarter lineup is the hardest shield.
The strongest spear and shield battle!!!
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin received the ball at the waist and did not rush to score. After attracting the defense, he passed the ball to Harrell, assisting Harrell to complete an alley-oop dunk.
109:100, the score difference between the two teams reached double digits.
Seeing this scene, Cole inevitably began to question whether his strategy of crazy double-teaming Wang Zelin was flawed?
The record of 81 points was just around the corner. He originally thought that Wang Zelin would take more shots after entering the final quarter, but he didn't expect...
"well……"
Cole sighed and shook his head, and said to the assistant coaching staff beside him: "We all underestimated Wang Zelin. That guy is more tolerant than we thought. We were all deceived by him. His real pursuit is victory, not records."
!”
"Then should we give up the double-teaming?"
The defensive assistant coach couldn't help but look at Cole after hearing this, frowning and thinking.
"Let's take a look at the situation and wait until the official suspension is reached."
Cole hesitated again and again, but decided to take a look at the power of the final five.
Warriors attack.
Durant caught the fish in the third quarter and was very active in running at the beginning of this quarter.
Since Curry is being wildly targeted by the opponent, let him save the team.
Death's Scythe, raised high!
Through a reverse run, Durant got the ball. When Wang Zelin came forward, he suddenly made a fake break, shook Wang Zelin, and jumped up to shoot a three-pointer.
This three-point shot was very resolute, decisive, and very continuous and smooth.
Swish——!
The first three-pointer in the final quarter was hit.
"Yes!"
When the water splashed, Cole felt even more excited and was not as nervous as before.
You only have one MVP in Wang Zelin, but we have two MVPs here. Let's see.
"Death is coming! Kevin Durant is starting the final quarter, and his touch is very hot!" Smith said excitedly.
"Are we going to start fighting each other again?" O'Neal's eyes were full of expectation.
As he wished, Wang Zelin came to the offensive end, made the same fake shot and scored a three-pointer over Durant's head.
Tonight, the number of three-pointers hit double figures. At the same time, Wang Zelin's personal score also reached 63 points. He is now only 2 points away from his previous single-game scoring record of 65 points.
At 112:103, the score difference reached the edge of double digits again.
"The three-point contest has begun again!" Countless people became excited.
Warriors attack.
Durant received Curry's pass at a 45-degree angle on the left, and took advantage of the situation to pose as a triple threat, staring at Wang Zelin in front of him.
The two entered into a one-on-one real man session.
"Here, KD, vote for another one. If you win, I will give you a bottle of Scarlett's bath water for free."
When Durant got the ball, Wang Zelin immediately took a half step back to defend, concentrated on it, and used Durant's love as bait to talk trash.
"you……"
Sure enough, after hearing the coveted "Scarlett Bathwater", Durant's heart beat faster and his eyes instantly filled with murderous intent. He must make this shot!
He didn't want to suffer the consequences. Whether it was victory or Scarlett's bath water, he was confident that he would get it back with his own hands.
Outside the three-point line on the left wing, he faced the frame in singles. After continuously changing directions, he suddenly took a step to the right and made a pull-up jumper. Durant took the shot.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Zelin jumped up and stretched his right arm as much as possible to interfere. Durant's jump shot is also bug-level. As long as he has the intention, this kind of ball cannot be blocked at all.
Cover.
And what Wang Zelin wants to block is not Durant's ball, but Durant's eyes.
Sean Battier's eye-sealing technique was once a defensive weapon against another historical super scorer. Although that super scorer could still defeat Battier, this trick did work wonders when it was first used.
.
In previous games with the Thunder, Wang Zelin never used the eye-sealing technique when defending Durant, but focused more on physical confrontation and defensive awareness.
But today is different from the past. After Durant joined the Warriors, he no longer had to play as tiredly as before on the offensive end. He could even fish in the water in the first three quarters and save enough energy to wait until the critical fourth quarter to turn the tide.
As we all know, the physical Durant is often unable to be restricted by conventional defensive methods.
But this time, he encountered unconventional defensive methods.
Durant jumped to the highest point and was about to take action when suddenly everything went dark and his vision was gone, leaving only one hand blocking his eyes.
"Damn it!"
Gritting his teeth, he chose to force the top shot, tightening his waist and abdomen in the air, and making a slightly backward shot.
"It must hit!"
After landing and staggering back, Durant fell to the floor and slid back two meters, but his eyes were still fixed on the ball he had thrown.
duang～
The next moment, the basketball bounced off the frame and missed.
"well!"
After failing to score a key goal, a chorus of sighs erupted from the Warriors bench.
"Damn it! Why don't you go in? Why..."
Durant's eyes were splitting.
Eye-sealing is a great method, it’s really good!
After Wang Zelin admired in his heart, he immediately rushed from Durant's side to the frontcourt.
Under the basket, Harrell was like a beast, blocking Green, allowing Batum to protect the backboard and pass the ball over.
He caught the ball and passed the center line, and there was a vast no-man's land in front of him.
"boom!"
Half a step past the free throw line, Wang Zelin jumped up, swung a big windmill in the air, and when his body fell, he poured the ball into the basket.
"Oh ho ho ho!"
This gorgeous and violent dunk completely ignited the Rose Garden Arena. Almost all Trail Blazers fans stood up and cheered for this windmill dunk.
114:103, the Trail Blazers lead the Warriors by 11 points!
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the point difference has been opened to more than double digits so far in tonight's game.
Beep~
Cole didn't hesitate at all and decisively called a timeout. He and the Warriors began to panic...
