Chapter 1118 When others question how to score points, you'd better...
"Oh my God! My dear... This is Wang Zelin's 51st point of the game! He is simply unstoppable, he is a God of War!" Barkley felt like he could hardly breathe.
"Guys, have you seen it? This is the value of three-year MVP! This is the terrifying thing about the No. 1 player in the league!" Even Miller couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment, and opened his mouth in an O shape.
A duck egg entered.
At this critical moment when the needle is against the wheat...Wang Zelin said that it will explode without any warning.
Simply, without any precaution...
The fans in front of the TV were going crazy. Just entering the fourth quarter, Wang Zelin scored 51 points. If he played the entire game, how many points would he score?
60, 70... or even 80, it seems not impossible.
Clippers coach Doc Rivers hurriedly requested a timeout. Although after this moment, the Clippers still led the Trail Blazers by 5 points, 101:96, Wang Zelin suddenly became angry, making him clearly feel that the trend on the court had changed.
At this time, the Staples Center suddenly burst into cheers of MVP, MVP, MVP. Could it be for them, the Clippers?
There are more and more "traitors" in the home court of the Clippers
No, Wang Zelin's scoring rhythm must be interrupted. This guy cannot score like he is chopping melons and vegetables.
Rivers gritted his teeth in his mind and called a timeout, gathered his players around him, and then... served bowls of delicious freshly brewed chicken soup.
All team members: "???"
Damn...we saw you calling timeout with a solemn look on your face, and we thought you had some new tactics, but then you showed us this?
Feeling the strange looks from the team members, Rivers didn't blush and continued to pour the chicken soup as if he didn't see it.
There is no way. To put it bluntly, after Rivers has been traveling around the world for so many years, there are actually only two tricks on the tactical board. One is to feed chicken soup to the players, and the other is to play a good role as a glue between the team and the players.
As for tactical arrangements, personnel transfers, key decisions, etc., those are the affairs of the assistant coaches. Giving him chicken soup and establishing a good relationship with the players and the coaching staff are his main job.
Take the year when he led the Celtics to win the championship. In 2008, the Celtics ranked first in the league with 66 wins in the regular season. Such an outstanding record was achieved on the one hand because of their strong and reasonable lineup, and on the other hand.
It is also inseparable from the talented coaching team.
The Celtics that year had head coach Doc Rivers, offensive coach Gentry, defensive coach Thibodeau, assistant coach and disciple Tyronn Lue, and a weirdo among the players, Rajon Rondo...
…
Good guy, with such a coaching staff, no wonder as Rivers led the team to be overturned more times in the playoffs, more and more people began to doubt Rivers' role in that Celtics team.
Is the role really that important?
After all, with the Celtics' lineup structure back then, coupled with such a talented coaching staff, even O'Neal's grandma could lead the team to a championship with her eyes closed.
Later, Rivers led the team all year round, and the big score was reversed in the playoffs, which further confirmed the fans' speculation.
Some people even think that the 2008 Celtics were a strong team with 66 wins in the regular season, but they did not perform well in the playoffs. Although they won the championship, they narrowly passed the first two rounds in tiebreakers and even played in the Eastern Conference finals.
6 games.
This led to another bold speculation: If the Celtics' head coach could be more reliable, would it be easier to advance?
If you are bolder, if you change the coach, it is not impossible for the Celtics to win three championships in five years.
At that time, the Celtics actually relied mainly on defense to win, and offense mainly relied on the individual abilities of Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen.
It just so happens that Celtics defensive coach Thibodeau is one of the best defensive coaches in the NBA. Even if we look at history, the only people who can be said to be better than him are Chuck Daly and Larry Brown.
It just so happened that the Celtics team gathered a lot of defensive gangsters at that time. Needless to say, Garnett was a representative of a defensive system in NBA history. His defensive ability was terrifying enough to rank among the best in history.
That small group of people.
All-around defense, hard work in training, tough style of play... Thibodeau really doesn't like this kind of player.
Therefore, with the help of Thibodeau, the Celtics formed a defensive system around Garnett that frightened all teams at the time.
There is no way, why are there a bunch of blue-collar villains sitting on the bench of the Celtics. Tony Allen, Perkins, James Posey are all ruthless characters, and everyone defends at the risk of death.
As for the other two members of the Green Army's Big Three, Ray Allen plays hard and is a strong man who once participated in the dunk contest. Although his defense was not good during the SuperSonics period, he will definitely not become a loophole on the court. Pierce is waiting in Boston.
After so many years, I am about to make a breakthrough in performance, so I naturally work harder than anyone else on the court, whether it is offensive or defensive.
To a certain extent, the healthy Big Three of the Green Army may be the most reasonable configuration of the Big Three in NBA history. Whether it is technical characteristics or the spirit of 2008, as long as a normal person coaches such a team, basically in 2008
All can complete the summit.
But even this lineup actually played tiebreakers in the first two rounds of the Eastern Conference, which is enough to show that Rivers' coaching ability is average.
Perhaps as fans expected later, Rivers' coaching ability was not as strong as imagined, but it was just because the Green Army's Big Three led the team to win the championship in 2008 and promoted him to a position that did not belong to him.
The summary is that there is a high probability that Doc Rivers is really a chicken soup coach!
Apart from cheering for the players during the game, he really has no other tricks!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But at this time, seeing the Trail Blazers' morale getting stronger and stronger, almost overwhelming the Clippers who are in the lead, just a few words of chicken soup make me want to
It's obviously not that simple to suppress the opponent's morale.
Such behavior will inevitably make the tough-minded Butler feel a little dissatisfied. After all, he is not the kind of person who can be knocked unconscious by a few words of chicken soup. He has his own unique insights into basketball right from the beginning.
But when I think about the fact that I have just arrived, and Reeves, as a former champion coach, has been coaching the Clippers since the 13-14 season, there is no credit but hard work. I am a newcomer, and it is really difficult to get at odds with the other party at this time.
So he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart, frowning and drink the chicken soup carefully prepared by Rivers.
A good timeout was wasted by Rivers.
After returning from the timeout and playing a few rounds, Wang Zelin was surprised to find that the Trail Blazers had not changed much in terms of offense and defense. They were playing as they should.
He couldn't help but look to the sidelines of the Clippers... He almost forgot that the Clippers coach is Lao Li. That's okay, the misunderstanding is resolved.
Soon, the first half of the final quarter was over, and the Clippers' offense was basically shrouded in the shadow of the Trail Blazers' endless defensive changes. Butler's offensive efficiency plummeted after performing well in the first three quarters, and Griffin was completely beaten to death by Wang Zelin in the penalty area.
.
The Clippers twins, who had performed well in the past, suddenly failed to perform, which was more or less caught off guard.
But the game is a game, and the situation on the field will not change based on what the fans think.
118:112!
In the first 7 minutes of the final quarter, the Clippers only scored 7 points, which were basically from scattered free throws.
No one can score one point per minute.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers scored 24 points in the first half of the quarter, and Wang Zelin's performance was particularly outstanding. He scored 14 points alone, plus 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.
In tonight's confrontation with Butler, Griffin and others, Wang Zelin gradually developed his own touch and adjusted his state to the extreme. He is now like a volcano that has been suppressed for a long time. When the volcano erupts, it can no longer be stopped.
.
"Shua——!"
"Shua——!"
"Shua——!"
The basket was as wide as the sea in front of him. With about 5 minutes left in the game, Wang Zelin's personal score had reached an astonishing 58 points!
The number of rebounds is also very exaggerated, from 16 in the half to 26 in the third quarter, and now 32.
Could it be said that Wang Zelin will personally break his previous record of 36 rebounds in a single game tonight?
If even this kind of thing can be done, then there are only three words in the minds of countless fans at this moment - Thai pants are hot!
Don’t forget, Wang Zelin also had 6 assists, 8 blocks and 4 steals. Theoretically, he has the opportunity to hit a quadruple-double again in this game.
It’s crazy just thinking about it!
Official timeout.
Feeling the MVP cheers coming from all around, the Clippers bench became lifeless and the atmosphere continued to be depressing.
For the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin received the highest treatment as if he were a hero returning, and the boys around him worshiped him as if they were God.
Wang Zelin just smiled and gradually felt everything in front of him. He felt as if his hands had been kissed by the God of Basketball.
The basket tonight was as boundless to him as the vast sea of stars.
Coach Terry knew that Wang Zelin was likely to set another record tonight, so as the head coach, he told the players to pass the ball to Wang Zelin.
The Blazers players did not object. In fact, they would have done so even if Coach Terry didn't say so. But what surprised everyone was that Coach Terry consciously asked them to increase the number of rounds in the next game as much as possible...
That is to say, the defensive intensity is slightly lowered to allow the Clippers to take a breath. The Clippers will definitely increase the frequency of shots when they are forced to chase points. As a result, the number of game rounds will be too many.
To put it more bluntly, let them control points!
The Clippers must see hope of equalizing the score, and the pace of the game must be firmly in the hands of the Trail Blazers, so that Wang Zelin can score points openly.
Ever since he averaged 40 points per game this season, the unscrupulous media have been busy saying that Wang Zelin, as the league's number one player, openly racked up points on the court.
Being talked about too much was not only annoying to Wang Zelin himself, but also to coach Terry. Near the end of the season, he suddenly thought: Since you all say that Wang Zelin is cheating, then don’t blame me for asking him to give you a good look at it.
In addition, Wang Zelin had recently intended to hit the rebounding record and wanted to average 20 rebounds per game, so the two of them combined and simply did the two things at the same time.
When others doubt that you are trying to score points anyway, you'd better really be trying to score points!
Wang Zelin was just so good tonight that he exploded. Coach Terry knew that even those legendary players would not encounter many things in this kind of game...ahem, except for Chamberlain's bug.
Even if he is as good as Wang Zelin, who averaged 40 points per game this season, even if he scores 40 or 50 points every now and then, there are only a few games where he scores more than 60 points in a single game.
Now the entire Clippers team has been defeated by Wang Zelin, and their mentality is on the verge of collapse. Hong Kong, in Coach Terry's mind, winning or losing this game is not as important as Wang Zelin. As long as Wang Zelin shoots well and is happy,
, why worry about winning four consecutive championships in the playoffs?
After the timeout, Seth Curry, who was on the edge of the Trail Blazers bench, suddenly felt a little envious of Wang Zelin. In his opinion, compared to the championship, the biggest thing is that a player can get the recognition and support of the whole team.
Achievement.
The root cause of such an idea is that Seth Curry paid unimaginable tears and sweat in order to gain a foothold in the NBA, in order to gain recognition from the NBA team and teammates.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To be able to achieve Wang Zelin's level, from his perspective, he is a very successful NBA player.
…
After Coach Terry's adjustment, the starter is like a high-speed machine. All tactics are centered around Wang Zelin. Jokic, Batum, Button, and Beverley have become god-level assistants.
This is the classic "four guarantees and one" tactic.
Wang Zelin and Jokic's high pick-and-roll, the one-handed alley-oop dunk after the pick-and-roll...the 60th point of the game!
Wang Zelin received a double screen from his teammates and made a three-point shot with one step from the three-point line...his 63rd point of the game!
Wang Zelin opened the singles in the low post. Facing the three-man attack of Jordan, Griffin, and Butler, he decisively used the sky hook to challenge three players. With a fanatical look on his face, he resolutely shot and scored 2 1...the 66th point of the game!
The Clippers had just hit a three-pointer with their first kick, and Jokic's second kick directly performed a classic quarterback-style long pass. The basketball was like a cannonball in mid-air, accurately delivered to Wang Zelin's hands, and Wang Zelin stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
Standing still, facing Butler who came to defend, he hit a dry pull...the 69th point of the game!
After the official timeout, in the last 5 minutes, Wang Zelin used the most serious method criticized by countless Wang Zelin in the past, crazily racking up points on the court.
At the beginning, Wanghei people were so excited about watching it on social platforms that they began to leave messages on social media.
But then, as they watched Wang Zelin's scores continue to rise, 60 points, 63 points, 69 points...until they reached 71 points, they were all speechless, and all their voices disappeared in an instant.
Is 71 points enough?
No, this is far from over.
Until 27 seconds before halftime, Wang Zelin passed a simple pick-and-roll screen, pulled the ball to the outside and hit another three-point shot...
The next moment, Clippers coach Doc Rivers completely collapsed on the floor. After regaining consciousness, he quickly got up and called a timeout, and then announced his surrender.
The eyes of everyone at the scene were all fixed on the big screen in mid-air, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Just because the big screen clearly displayed Wang Zelin's score for this game - 80 points!
