The Trail Blazers attacked and other players defended and separated the defender. Wang Zelin tried to get into position in the low post. Lillard hit the ground and handed the ball to Wang Zelin.
At this time, it was Andrea who was guarding Wang Zelin. The two had fought many times in the first three quarters. He knew that he couldn't guard him, and so did his teammates.
So Stoudemire on the left wing chose to let Aldridge take two steps, and his attention was always focused on the low post on the right wing.
As long as there is a chance, he will double-team without hesitation.
After Wang Zelin held the ball, he observed the movements of his teammates on both sides. After seeing that no one from the Knicks came up to cover the defense immediately, he relied on Andrea, who was defending behind him.
Andrea adjusted her center of gravity and held on to Wang Zelin in order not to lose her defensive position.
But the difference in size and strength between the two was too big after all. By hitting Andrea, the latter immediately took a step back. Wang Zelin then turned around and made a big run to use his height advantage to find space for his shot.
Stoudemire saw the change in Wang Zelin's footsteps and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his big hand, unable to block his attacking space.
Sensing someone coming from behind, Wang Zelin used his left foot as the pivot and then turned left, pretending to lay up, deceiving Andre's shot-blocking hand, and then turned right to open up the space.
Andrea didn't expect that Wang Zelin could make such incredible moves with his size. He was turned around again and again and lost his center of gravity. He could only watch Wang Zelin score in frustration.
Stoudemire was on the left side of the paint area, watching Wang Zelin play with Andrea and score easily, feeling deeply impressed by Wang Zelin's powerful deterrence in the paint.
Could it be said that all the centers produced by Tianchao have special skills?
Back then, Yao Ming relied on his "Magic City Dance" to score easily over many strong defensive players in the league more than once. The same is true for Wang Zelin now.
Stoudemire and Yao Ming were rookies in the same class. I think they were old enemies and bitter rivals back then, because Yao Ming caused a lot of doubts about Stoudemire's Rookie of the Year award.
But just now, Wang Zelin's operation took two hours back to the years when he first entered the league. At that time, there was such an excellent center who used gorgeous footsteps and turn-over jumpers to score on his head.
Of course, at that time, Stoudemire also relied on his terrifying explosive power to fight back crazily, often completing basket-breaking performances on his opponents.
The wind dissipated and the years passed by. Stoudemire looked at his tired legs, then looked at Trail Blazers No. 36, who was talking and laughing with his teammates when he returned to defense, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
I was once a young man, and I was also very high-spirited!
"Come on, Your Majesty!"
"..."
Several familiar cheers suddenly sounded at the scene. Wang Zelin looked up and saw that there were many Chinese fans holding their heads high and shouting vigorously, and there were quite a few of them.
Also, New York is the largest city in the United States, and New York’s Chinatown is the largest residential area and business district for overseas Chinese in the Western Hemisphere. How could there be so few Chinese people there?
When you hear the accent of a foreign country, you will suddenly understand!
Unfortunately, according to American law, Wang Zelin is not allowed to drink alcohol yet.
"Thanks!"
Wang Zelin smiled and waved in the direction of the Chinese fans.
"Haha, the king's steps remind me of Dayao back then. Those are dreamy dance steps!"
Seeing Wang Zelin score so easily, Yu Jia praised him again.
"Yes, Dayao went to the Dream training camp and asked Olajuwon for advice. Zelin has never been to the Dream training camp, but he must have had some discussions with Dayao during the national team training.
trick."
Director Zhang also followed suit.
"Amare, stop looking!"
At this moment, Binoyudri dribbled the ball past Xiaosi, calling him out of his daze. The latter responded and quickly ran forward.
In the frontcourt, Bino Udri saw that Anthony was in a better position, and passed the basketball to Anthony with a direct pass.
As soon as the ball arrived, the Trail Blazers' defensive formation changed. The defender suddenly moved in. Anthony hadn't even taken two steps after receiving the ball, and the opponent's double-team had already taken shape.
Want to send back again?
No, Anthony is not the kind of person who passes the ball whenever he is double-teamed.
On the contrary, the more decisive the opponent's double-teaming, the more excited he will be!
Being double-teamed is the ultimate treatment that every scoring master dreams of.
So breaking double teams is the best thing that can increase the hormones of high scorers.
Basketball, a competitive sport, sometimes focuses on just two words, passion!
Once the passion is in place, the hot feeling is not far away.
Lillard is not good at defense, and his estimation of double-teaming is not that accurate.
I saw Anthony holding his breath, cross-stepping past people, and when he was one step outside the free throw line, he suddenly stopped and made a sudden move.
Lillard, who was double-teamed, waited for the opportunity and jumped up from behind Anthony. The moment he took action, he waved his hand.
"Snapped!"
Hmm, the touch feels wrong?
Before Lillard could recover, the referee's whistle sounded. A smile appeared on Anthony's lips facing the basket. When his body began to decline, he used his last strength to push the ball out, and then fell to the floor.
The basketball spun in a big circle on the rim and staggered into the bag.
Back~Lean back!
He actually dodged his own block by leaning back.
The big screen began to slow down the close-up of Anthony's previous attack, and only then did Lillard realize what had just happened.
Anthony not only broke the double team and hit a two-on-one hit, but also caused the opponent's main point guard to commit his third foul.
The Knicks bench instantly went crazy. One by one they jumped up from the bench, waving their arms and towels desperately. The one with this expression was Jr.
Jr., who grew up on the street, was not stingy with his passion. At this time, he kept talking all kinds of slang. When the director saw it, he quickly switched to a "beep beep beep" telegraph sound.
Old fish Fisher also made fists with his hands, raised them above his head, and roared excitedly.
With the support of Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert, Anthony stood up, casually patted the non-existent dust on his butt, stopped walking to the free throw line, and showed a melon-like smile.
"call!"
Take a deep breath, then raise the ball, aim, shoot, and hit!
At 85:76, the Knicks chased the point difference to single digits.
When retreating, Anthony bent his left arm, spread his fingers, and placed his thumb and index finger next to his left ear...
"Oh ho ho!"
"MVP!"
"..."
Iverson's classic listening celebration was very lethal, and the fans cheered even more intensely. The deafening sound made people feel that the dome of Madison Square Garden was about to be lifted off.
In the VIP seats in the auditorium, many celebrities, handsome men and beautiful women, stood up to celebrate Anthony one by one regardless of their status.
At first glance, the most eye-catching one is the singing queen Taylor Swift, who just received a total of 6 nominations and finally won three awards at the 47th American Country Music Association Awards.
This can be said to be the biggest female fan in the NBA.
Taylor Swift, who is originally from New York, often visits the home court of the New York Knicks, and audiences can often see her in the front row.
How could she be missing from this all-mi broadcast?
The goddess's cheers made countless male Knicks fans say "I can't stand it." Their hormones soared wildly, and the curses on the Trail Blazers players on the field became louder and louder.
Coach Terry Stotts looked ashen and said nothing at this time. He could feel that the morale of the Knicks was recovering crazily and visibly.
He wanted to call a timeout, but after much hesitation, he gave up.
Because calling a timeout at this time will only make New Yorkers more excited and make them more afraid.
What's more, Terry Stotts believes that Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Aldridge will not let him down.
In the backcourt, when the Trail Blazers players saw Anthony's actions, they all became angry. They gnashed their teeth and wanted to tear him into countless pieces on the spot. But after all, everyone was here to play, not to fight, so they could only swallow their anger.
Return to your own half.
When Anthony ran back and saw Batum and Lillard looking depressed, the smile on his face became sweeter and he couldn't help but feel proud.
But then, he looked in the direction of Pioneer 36, and when he found that the latter still had an unmoved face, the complacency he felt suddenly disappeared.
They should be left behind!
Moreover, the expression of Trail Blazers No. 36 made him very unhappy. He had to score more goals and beat that guy to break the defense.
"Be careful, don't let Portlanders score easily!"
After setting up a defensive formation, Anthony, standing on the right wing, called on his teammates.
This scene gave Fisher a little surprise. He originally thought that Anthony was far behind Kobe, because Anthony's many years of experience proved that he was by no means a qualified leader, but everything in front of him made Fisher start to feel helpless.
Starting to doubt:
Is it possible that Cameron really can be saved?
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard made a strong pass on Bino Udri and headed towards the paint from the right wing.
Matthews and Batum each used pick-and-rolls to block Iman Shumpert and Anthony, using screen moves to create a short, direct route to the paint for Lillard.
Lillard stepped on the accelerator completely and entered the paint area.
At this time, Wang Zelin's basket blocked Andrea. Stoudemire needed to guard against Aldridge's shooting threat, but he could only fall behind.
Under the careful cover of his teammates, Lillard made an easy layup and hit a goal.
87:76, the score difference between the two teams has always been in and out of the ten-point threshold...
"This ball is so easy to hit!"
Buckley laughed.
"The Knicks still have the same problem. Without Tyson, their defense has dropped to the last level in the league. A team can't just attack. They need to defend well and at least have a correct attitude."
Smith shook his head and sighed.
One general is incompetent and the three armies will be exhausted!
This principle applies everywhere.
Anthony's defensive attitude is an old problem. Although he tried his best to prevent two good shots before, but as time goes by, it still remains the same.
The top pillars are crooked, so how do you expect the people below to be any better?
Since he can't guard anyone, Anthony has to come up with a higher level of offense to make up for the loopholes caused by the team's poor defense.
Knicks offense.
Anthony got the ball at the right three-point line, but the Trail Blazers still decisively adopted double-teaming measures.
They can tolerate Anthony scoring goals, but they can never tolerate Anthony scoring so easily; they can also tolerate Anthony scoring two points, but they can never tolerate Anthony scoring three points!
It is impossible to completely guard against a scorer of this level. The Blazers can only do everything possible to create more obstacles for Anthony's scoring.
"Here we go again, what will Anthony do this time?"
Zhang Lili shouted.
At this time, Iman Shumpert immediately cut to the basket and started from the left wing.
At the same time, Anthony was also observing the movement of his teammates. When he saw Iman Shumpert's movement, he knew that he should take action.
After a large cross step, he noticed that Batum had not lost his center of gravity. After being slightly surprised, he then dribbled the ball with his right hand violently, pretending to break through to the right, and Batum's center of gravity quickly tilted to the right.
At this moment, Lillard's vigilance was at its highest and he immediately pounced forward.
Seeing Lillard rushing over, Anthony smiled, then stepped forward with his left foot, controlled the ball with his right hand and completed a crotch move. After taking a step to the left, Anthony combined the ball and pulled it up again.
"Don't even think about going in again!"
At this time, Batum has been completely shaken away. Fortunately for him, Lillard's timely defense...
"No, this direction is not a shot... it is a pass!"
Batum looked back with shock on his face.
Because a Knicks player was already in the paint, the basketball was flying towards him.
"Watch out for number 21!"
Batum said with a look of horror.
Anthony mentally snorted: It’s too late!
Again, as a superstar-level singles player and mid-range terminator in the league, Anthony, who is good at various offensive methods, how could he not pass the ball?
The only possibility is that he doesn't bother passing the ball.
Looking back on the past, Anthony has averaged more than 2.5 assists per game in his career. In several seasons, he averaged more than 3 assists, and in some seasons he even averaged close to 4 assists.
The period with the most assists occurred during the Nuggets' double-shooting period with Allen Iverson.
To be honest, Anthony is a very arrogant but very simple person.
He respects the strong but is not afraid of the powerful.
As long as your strength can be recognized by him, he actually likes to share the ball.
According to media statistics, in the two seasons when he partnered with Allen Iverson in 2006-07 and 2007-08, Anthony sent out 249 and 259 assists respectively, which can be called the highest period of career assist performance.
And among the 508 assists accumulated in these two seasons, more than one third of the assists were passed to Allen Iverson...
Therefore, Anthony can pass the ball well, but he can't let go of his airs.
Now, the Knicks' Iman Shumpert has unexpectedly gained Anthony's initial approval. Iman Shumpert's move was actually something Anthony had just discussed with him.
The purpose is to catch the Blazers by surprise.
Just when the two men's plan was about to be completed, Wang Zelin, who was near the short corner on the right wing, suddenly hit Andrea hard with his chest. The powerful force made the latter unable to stand.
When Andrea's center of gravity was unstable, Wang Zelin suddenly turned around and rushed towards the left wing of the three-second zone.
At this time, Iman Shumpert had just caught the ball and was about to dunk it. Wang Zelin stretched his right arm forward and slapped the ball down with his right palm, knocking the ball from Iman Shumpert's hands.
"Stealed?"
Buckley shouted excitedly.
"I actually managed to guard against it!"
Kenny Smith said in surprise.
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin bent down, reached out with his left hand and scooped the ball into his palm.
"Beautiful! Beautiful steal! Performance from the king..."
Yu Jia said excitedly.
The moment Wang Zelin slapped the ball to the ground, Lillard had already turned around and stepped down quickly. As soon as he reached the midline, he took advantage of Wang Zelin's long pass, then continued to step down quickly and successfully dunked.
"Another tacit cooperation! Damian Lillard trusts Zelin's defense very much, and Zelin also trusts Lillard's speed. The tacit understanding between the two young people is much better than last year's rookie season.
many."
Zhang Lili laughed and said.
Within the venue.
Anthony looked puzzled. He was surprised as to why the Trail Blazers happened to be in that position after killing...
Are you prepared in advance or are you adapting to circumstances?
However, this is no longer important.
Looking at the score that was widened again, Anthony clenched his fist in vain: There is no more communication between labor and management, I have to do it myself!
Wang Zelin's successive divine defenses finally allowed Anthony to break the defense. He no longer believed in his teammates, but only believed in his own hands.
He wants to use his hands to realize his dream!
Old fish Fisher called timeout again.
During this period, he repeatedly emphasized that Anthony should pass the ball more and trust his teammates.
Sitting on the bench, Anthony agreed wholeheartedly, which made the old fish feel very happy.
As a result, when it came to the court, the Trail Blazers' defense, with Lao Yu's hopeful eyes, Anthony perfectly replicated the same "two-person double team to count the open space" of the same style used by the old Los Angeles blacksmith.
"..."
Lao Yu was stunned for a long time, and he didn't even recover when his tactical board fell to the ground.
When the assistant coach picked up the tactical board and handed it back to Lao Yu, he discovered that Lao Yu's eyes had become dull and he started talking to himself, vaguely saying: "I'm so stupid! Really..."
Halfway through the final quarter, Anthony also played hard for a long time, and the point difference was already 20 points, declaring that the game had entered garbage time.
Wang Zelin played 32 minutes, making 13 of 17 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 3 fouls.
I really have to thank Anthony, otherwise Wang Zelin's blocking data would not have taken off...
In general, in terms of scoring, he scored 14 points in the first half and 15 points in the second half, which was quite balanced. The defensive end was also impeccable and he was named the best player in the game, which he deserved!
In the second half of the fourth quarter, Anthony did not play again. He sat in his seat in a daze, with eyes that were three parts confused, three parts unwilling, three parts depressed and one part desperate.
He couldn't even tell how many times he had been slapped by Wang Zelin tonight, but it was quite a lot.
As you can imagine, the discussion after the game was that the biggest clown character tonight was none other than him.
The substitutes of both sides exchanged blows for half a quarter, and the point difference increased instead of decreasing. 112:88, the Trail Blazers won by 24 points and won the first four consecutive games.
At the court live broadcast table.
"If this continues, I think Zelin will be qualified to compete for the regular season MVP, let alone the best team! And he doesn't brush up data during garbage time!"
Zhang Lili said with a genuine smile.
On the live broadcast screen, netizens all commented:
In the Ganges!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After taking a look at the comments from netizens, Yu Jia started laughing.
After winning the game, Wang Zelin, who was in a good mood, accepted interviews with the media in the locker room.
"Wang, have you read the post-match data report?"
"Look, what's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's a pity? With just one assist, you can complete super data of 4 times 5 in a single quarter..."
"Hey, wait," Wang Zelin hurriedly interrupted: "I think winning is the most important thing. As for data, I have never touched it, and I have no interest in it."
"..."
At this time, Anlu Bu, who was squatting in the corner, wanted to ask weakly:
