At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 28:17, with the Trail Blazers leading the Suns by 11 points.
Wang Zelin personally scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. It can be said that he single-handedly dominated the first quarter of the game.
Suns bench.
Everyone looked gloomy and said nothing. Coach Gentry opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.
There is no doubt that the Trail Blazers are playing superstar ball now!
Beyond human power!
Just like Kobe Bryant in 2006, when he goes crazy alone, he can really achieve one-on-five.
Facing Wang Zelin who is in a super-god state, even if Gentry is a clever woman, it is difficult for him to make a meal without straw!
On the Trail Blazers side, everyone's mood was like a sunny day, and bright smiles were shining like sunshine on the entire bench.
"Wang, you continue in the second quarter." Coach Terry paused, "No, all the main players have to continue. I want to end the game in the first half."
Coach Terry's voice sounded domineering, and his eyes when he looked at Wang Zelin were extremely hot.
The great basketball god Michael Jordan once proposed a "the zone" state after training with Kobe Bryant.
Once you enter this state, everything in front of you will slow down, and all the vulnerabilities of your opponent will be displayed in front of you. At this time, you can choose the attack mode as you like.
To use the protagonist template in martial arts novels to describe it, it is as if he has suddenly opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and is omnipotent.
The so-called "the zone" is a mysterious and mysterious state, but you have to admit that it really exists.
otherwise……
At the beginning of the century, Tracy McGrady scored 13 points in 35 seconds, and Kobe Bryant killed the dragon with 81 points; in the future, Klay Thompson scored 37 points in a single quarter, Thomas Jr. scored 53 points in the playoffs, including 29 points in overtime, and Harden had 60 3 triple-doubles...
These extraordinary performances cannot be described by common sense.
When times come, heaven and earth all work together!
What I’m talking about is Wang Zelin’s current competitive state.
"How's it going? Any questions?"
Coach Terry stared at Wang Zelin, his eyes full of expectation.
"No problem, sir!"
Wang Zelin smiled slightly, stood up, threw the towel aside, and prepared to play.
…
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns attacked for the first time. Dragic did not step forward for a long time. Instead, Mosaic's old player Scola relied on his flexible footsteps to avoid Mike Roberts, hit a difficult jumper, and scored two points.
.
The score on the court became 28:19.
Gentry waved his fists excitedly.
For the Trail Blazers, the inside situation has once again become a Wang Zelin VS Polish Hammer situation.
No... to be precise, it's a beating!
Receive the ball in the low position, lean on the opponent, push away the opponent, turn around, and perform a one-handed chop!
Wang Zelin's offense seemed so simple and crude.
However, it is this method of attack that makes people most frightened and feel helpless.
After scoring the goal, Wang Zelin took O'Neal's iconic dominating step. The reporters on the sidelines picked up their cameras and started yelling at him.
A classic tribute segment!
On the offensive end of the Suns, Dudley found an opportunity and scored a three-pointer from the outside to help the team bite the score.
Not long after, two big men, Wang Zelin and Mike Roberts, started a pick-and-roll tactic. Wang Zelin came down from the high post, and the latter showed off his new skills to the Rose Garden fans.
Support!
Wang Zelin was in a very comfortable position to catch the ball. He jumped to the basket, bent his knees slightly, stood up from the ground, and looked directly at the basket.
This move did not take the Polish Hammer and Diamond duo under the basket seriously at all.
What do you think we are?
Air?
The Suns' inside team guarding the basket rose up from the ground almost at the same time, reaching out to block Wang Zelin's shot.
At this time, you can see the difference in talent.
The Polish Hammer and Diamond jumped into the air and barely reached Wang Zelin's chest.
Wang Zelin held the ball with both hands, pressed it hard, felt the tightness coming from the basketball, and hit it head on with a playful smile.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
First there were two crisp sounds of beating hands.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
at last……
"Bang!"
Wang Zelin passed the two walls and poured the basketball into the Suns' basket.
Seeing this scene, Gentry covered his eyes with his hands in despair. He just hoped that it was Scola who was whistled instead of Gortat.
otherwise……
"The Suns' No. 4 player fouled, and the Trail Blazers' No. 36 made an extra free throw."
The referee's penalty was like a sharp knife stabbing into Gentry's already bleeding heart.
The center committed three fouls!
Looking at Wang Zelin hanging on the basket and twisting his body, Gentry felt like he saw the shadow of the big shark at the beginning of the century.
In the three seasons from 2000 to 2003, Gentry has been the head coach of the Clippers. As the coach of a team in the same city, he can be regarded as witnessing the establishment of the OK combination and the terrifying dominance of the peak Sharks.
What is dominance?
Everyday he is double-teamed by three or four players in the paint, but he still pushes his opponents away and completes dunk after dunk that cannot be stopped.
Every team that aims to win the championship has to prepare several human shield centers for O'Neal. The reason is never for defense, but for the purpose of consuming O'Neal's physical strength a little.
The most classic one is that the Mavericks gave up Nash for Dampier.
Now, Wang Zelin, who has entered the "the zone" state, reminds some old fans of O'Neal, who dominated the league.
A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole leopard!
Many fans even have a terrible thought in their minds: In today's era of declining centers, as long as Wang Zelin can reach 70 to 80% of O'Neal's peak strength in the future, he will be enough to dominate the league.
There is no other reason. Wang Zelin's 5-for-5 free throws are really scary.
emm...now it's 6 out of 6.
Gentry didn't bother to call a timeout and replaced Gortat with Jermaine O'Neal with the help of a dead ball.
After hitting the extra penalty, Wang Zelin found that his opponent had become No. 20.
Jermaine O'Neal!
It seems that I drew this season's Jermaine O'Neal star card in the system space.
Now, Wang Zelin is facing off against the owner of a card he drew back then.
This feeling is tantamount to one day when Mai-senpai suddenly jumped out of the comics and came to reality, and she was ready to compete with herself.
Cough cough cough!
Back to the game.
At this stage, O'Neal no longer has the demeanor of a five-time All-Star. In the rest of the second quarter, Wang Zelin defended him to 0 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 blocks, plus 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.
On the other hand, Wang Zelin, after the second quarter, shot 6 of 6 and still maintained a 100% shooting percentage. In addition, he made 6 of 6 free throws and scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.
At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers led their opponents by 25 points with a score of 56:31.
Wang Zelin made 15 of 15 field goals and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 42 points, plus 11 rebounds and 4 blocks.
The moment he returned to the bench and sat down, the originally high-spirited Wang Zelin instantly turned into a soft-footed shrimp.
thunder!
So tired!
…
So damn tired!
Wang Zelin has also experienced this similar feeling.
When he was a student, he was addicted to Internet cafes and would always stay up all night on Sundays. As a result, he fell asleep when he returned to the dormitory and slept all day long.
Same reason.
Wang Zelin, who entered an indescribable state on the court, played so happily for the first time in the NBA. His brain was like congested, and he completely forgot about the fatigue coming from his body. He didn't have to worry about physical strength and played to his heart's content.
A landmark battle.
During the break, countless reporters wanted to rush into the Trail Blazers' locker room, but they were all stopped by dedicated security guards.
In the locker room.
All the players looked at the silent giant leaning on the horizontal chair, as if looking at a god.
41 points at halftime?
Or a 100% hit rate?
No novel would dare to be written like this!
However, reality is often more magical than fiction, and Lillard and others will probably never forget this game in their lifetime.
…
At the beginning of the third quarter, what was surprising was that Wang Zelin, who showed his prowess in the first half, did not play.
The home fans could understand it at first. After all, a 2.16-meter center who not only played the entire first half but also scored so many points must be very tired.
However, what everyone expected was that Wang Zelin did not play during the entire third quarter.
At this time, many fans began to panic.
When the fourth quarter started, the Trail Blazers still led their opponents by more than 20 points, 74:58.
But the audience couldn't care less, they just wanted to watch Wang Zelin enter the game.
"king!!!"
After shouting for several minutes, it was of no use.
"MVP!!!"
After a few more minutes, it still didn't work.
"Fake oil!"
"Gift crab!"
"What a shame! Get your money back!"
"Fuck, isn't that guy Stotts stupid? Labor and management want to see Wang Zelin...fuck you!"
It seems that people of all countries understand the principle of courtesy first and then fighting.
At this time, Coach Terry was in agony.
He is not Simavici or later Cole. He hopes in his heart that his players can perform better, so that he can look good.
But now Wang Zelin's physical strength pool is really gone.
My whole body feels like my kidneys are overdrawn, and I am still in a woolen business!
There was no other way, so Coach Terry could only imitate the Zen master's trick of "if you don't move, you are a bastard", he just closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Until the end of the game, from the fans' perspective, Coach Terry held Wang Zelin down and refused to let him play.
In the end, the Trail Blazers beat the Suns 93 to 82, beating their opponents by 11 points.
Wang Zelin's personal data was fixed in the first half.
42 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks!
In this game, Wang Zelin broke some of Yao Ming's heavyweight records in the NBA.
Yao Ming's 23 points in a single quarter were replaced by Wang Zelin's 24 points in a single quarter!
His career-high 41 points was also surpassed by Wang Zelin's 42 points.
Wang Zelin seemed to use this game to tell everyone that the new China Mobile Great Wall has been born, and he will lead the China Men's Basketball Team to move forward.
Wang Zelin did not attend the post-game interview meeting, respecting the intentions of some conspiracy theory netizens.
"The Chinese youngster is dissatisfied with the coach's suppression, and the Trail Blazers team is unsettled!"
“Confusing behavior!”
"..."
But these are only a few parts. Most people in the media have not forgotten the real big event.
41 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in a single game!
Wang Zelin created a miracle that belongs to him. This is a night that has never been seen in NBA history.
