Chapter 143 Dominate the basket and lead the team to overtake!
Taking a closer look, the player who blocked him was the Blazers' No. 36.
But how did he do it?
Jr. Smith was so confused that he forgot to return to defense for a moment and froze in place.
Wang Zelin picked off the rebound and passed it to Batum, who succeeded in a fast break and caused a blocking foul by Pablo.
And one!
The score difference came to 6 points.
"Hey, that's a very tough shot, the king's defense in this game is amazing!" Yang Yi praised.
"Have you noticed that Xiao Wang's sense of blocking shots and small details of defensive positioning are much better than before."
As an insider, our guard Bryant keenly discovered Wang Zelin's improvement in defensive ability.
"Hey, I heard what Director Zhang said...that seems to be what happened!"
Yang Yi recalled Wang Zelin's performance in protecting the frame in this game and nodded.
The fact is as the two said, the Saint Seiya's defensive ability has made Wang Zelin's ability to protect the frame at the basket rapidly become stronger.
Because of this, he dared to confront the physically explosive Jr. Smith under the basket.
…
Half a quarter was over and it was the official timeout time.
The score between the two sides was 45:42, and the Trail Blazers closed the score to 3 points.
During the timeout, Knicks coach Mike Wood replaced the lineup headed by Melo on the court, and also condemned Jr. Smith's sleepwalking behavior on the court.
Back on the court, the Knicks' offense.
Anthony just received the ball in the low post on the right, and Wang Zelin in the high post directly gave up on Tyson Chandler and rushed towards Anthony, who was two steps away.
"The Trail Blazers are double-teamed, they are anxious!"
The Knicks home announcer said excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, what happened on the field was beyond his expectation.
The sudden double-team caught Anthony off guard. When he reacted, Wang Zelin and Batum had already formed a siege. Without warning, Batum actually poked the ball away.
"Stealed!"
"The Trail Blazers' double-team strategy just came out and it worked."
Weiping Bryant yelled from the commentary box.
On the court, Lillard ran all the way with the ball and completed a dunk against the empty Knicks basket.
At 45:44, the Knicks' lead was in danger.
"Mello, if you feel like it, continue playing singles. I'll wait for you."
Wang Zelin stared at Anthony, who looked ugly, and spoke irritatingly.
Although it is clear that Anthony is a player who does not like to pass the ball, he still needs to use the provocation method.
"Bastard boy!"
Anthony, who didn't like wearing braces, gritted his teeth with hatred, and his handsome face instantly turned red.
Kidd had just passed the frontcourt and was still several steps away from the three-point line. Anthony had already circled from the baseline to around 45 degrees on the right side, reaching for the ball.
Mike Woodson on the sidelines shook his head helplessly. He knew that Anthony would most likely get involved again.
Towards the end of his career, all Kidd cared about was his salary and the fun of basketball, and he became like a Buddhist.
Seeing that Anthony was willing to shoulder the offense, he happily handed the ball over and slid towards the baseline three-point line.
Anthony glanced at Wang Zelin under the basket, stuck out his butt and squeezed past Batum, heading towards the penalty area like a locomotive.
Anthony's size is different from that of Jr. Smith. Wang Zelin will not stand stupidly under the basket waiting for his opponent to dunk, but directly goes up to him.
Just as the confident Anthony was about to stand up and dunk, a pair of big hands slammed the basketball back in his hand.
what happened?
How come this Chinese boy's reflexes are so fast?
Anthony may have forgotten that he is no longer the young man he was during the Nuggets. His weight of nearly 110 kilograms not only allowed him to take advantage of the small forward position, but also took away the bounce he was once proud of.
The Blazers' offense failed. Anthony took one step ahead of Tyson Chandler and grabbed a backcourt rebound.
After arriving in the frontcourt, he continued to challenge the penalty area as he did not believe in evil.
I don’t believe it!
I, Carmelo, Anthony, can’t deduct a rookie anymore.
Anthony gritted his teeth and launched a fierce attack forward. Batum, who was 95 kilograms, was like a stick in front of Anthony who was the same height and could not withstand it at all.
Stumbled into the paint and shot for a layup.
"Snapped!!!"
Once again, he was ruthlessly blocked by Wang Zelin.
Damn it!
Farke!
Gift crab!
I** you**
Anthony kept mumbling incessantly. Wang Zelin could still hear what he was talking about in the front, but not what he was talking about in the back.
It seems to be a slang term for black people...
"OMG! The Trail Blazers' No. 36 has already blocked 4 shots in this game, which is simply crazy."
"He is like a king under the basket. No one can challenge his iron palm!"
"..."
Some spectators at the home court were so amazed by Wang Zelin's performance that they defected on the spot.
"Mello, I'm waiting for you!"
After repeating what he just said, Wang Zelin turned around and ran like the Knicks at halftime.
…
Lillard held the ball, and Aldridge took the initiative to help cover.
Seeing this, Lillard did not refuse and used the screen to directly break through the Knicks' perimeter defense.
"Tyson, pay attention to No. 0 on the opposite side, don't let him score!"
Mike Woodson on the sidelines couldn't sit still anymore and started yelling from the sidelines.
In order to strengthen the defense at the basket, the Knicks' current inside combination on the court is Tyson Camby...a super combination of DPOY in the 2006~07 season and DPOY in the 2011~12 season.
Just the halo they had on their heads was enough to dissuade a large number of breakthrough masters.
However, Lillard was not timid at all and strode forward with all his strength.
After crossing the free throw line, he took off in three steps. Tyson Chandler, who had better running and jumping ability, took the lead.
Lillard was completely shrouded in the air by Tyson Chandler. In this case, he did not get enthusiastic and chose a steady pull shot.
The basketball was successfully passed to Aldridge behind Tyson Chandler, who immediately got up and dunked after receiving the ball.
"Snapped!"
Camby rushed over and destroyed Aldridge's offense.
"Beautiful...Fake!!!"
Before the home commentator could finish his words, he immediately turned to swear words.
After Aldridge and Camby landed, when they were about to get up to grab the rebound, a dark shadow enveloped all four people under the basket, including Lillard and Tyson Chandler.
UFO attack!
"boom!"
The four of them raised their heads at the same time, and the big No. 36 jersey came into view.
Wang Zelin, who rushed from the backcourt, kept his momentum all the way after his teammates failed to attack. He went to the basket and succeeded in a dunk.
Really one deduction and four!
Everyone under the basket, including his teammates, became the backdrop for Wang Zelin’s shocking putback dunk.
At 45:46, the Trail Blazers achieved a lead.
…
"King, that's a beautiful buckle!"
Inexplicably being reduced to a backdrop, Lillard punched Wang Zelin's chest hard, but there were words of praise in his mouth.
"Next time you do this, remember to say it in advance, ugh!"
Aldridge rolled his eyes at Wang Zelin resentfully.
"hehe!!!"
Wang Zelin touched his head in embarrassment and showed an embarrassed but decent smile.
…
"I..."
Yang Yi couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it... Xiao Wang's catch-up dunk can definitely book the top spot in tomorrow's top five goals in advance!"
Weiping Bryant couldn't help but gasp.
"During the timeout, the King completely dominated the basket on both offense and defense, helping the Trail Blazers complete the lead..."
"Now the pressure is on the Knicks led by Melo Carmelo Anthony. I wonder what measures they will take to counterattack..."
"Not just the audience in front of the TV, I am also looking forward to it now. This game is really exciting!"
