Chapter 301 Adelaide is the first player in team history, and I am the best supporter
The atmosphere in the away locker room was much duller than that of the Trail Blazers. Michael Curry originally planned to let everyone sit down and have a good chat, but Josh Smith said, "I'm not wrong, I'm going to keep playing like this."
"expression
He sighed, thinking that there was really no hope for the second half.
53:39, the Trail Blazers scored 34 points in the second quarter. On the other hand, they only scored 17 points in a single quarter.
When I think about the opponent LaMarcus Aldridge scored 20 points in a single quarter, which was higher than the entire Pistons team...
Michael Curry has a headache.
Frustrated, Michael Curry didn't make many arrangements during the halftime break and only made some adjustments to the Trail Blazers' offense.
He is just a rookie coach. Without the high prestige of Larry Brown, the only way for the team to get back on track is for the players to reflect on themselves.
…
It didn't take long.
The second half of the game officially started, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Pistons have first down.
Jennings faced Lillard with the ball and unexpectedly called a pick-and-roll to Josh Smith, who actually came over to cover.
Amidst the dribbling sound, Jennings easily got rid of Lillard through the pick-and-roll, and then used all his strength to rush past Matthews, who was defending. This scene shocked the audience in the bottom line.
The fans couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations.
"boom!"
Under the unguarded basket, Jennings took off and dunked.
The point difference instantly shrank to 12 points.
Billups frowned and looked at Jennings, who was returning to defense with Josh Smith, but didn't say anything. He knew that the latter had betrayed the revolution.
"Chauncy, just now I felt that they both went to the bathroom together." Andre Drummond came up, unable to conceal his anger in his tone.
"It's okay, play well!"
Billups frowned and patted his shoulder.
"But……"
"Winning is the most important thing!"
After saying that, Billups found his defender.
He is always a calm and calm person, otherwise he would not have the nickname Mr. Key.
When reason gradually suppressed anger, Billups did not dare to forget that he was a professional player. No matter how big the conflicts were off the court, he would still play conscientiously on the court.
Not for anything else, just to be worthy of the salary he gets.
Andre Drummond obviously doesn't have as high a consciousness as Billups, and the knot in his heart has not gone away.
However, with Billups' encouragement, he decided to suppress his anger for the time being and wait until after the game to question Jennings.
The importance of veterans is reflected at this moment.
Half a quarter passed.
Beep~~~
Terry Stotts took a timeout and looked in the direction of the Pistons players with a frown.
The Pistons' style of play changed again in the third quarter. The singles rotation in the second quarter no longer existed, and it returned to the teamwork of the first quarter.
As a result, Tristos' defensive strategy during the halftime break was basically ineffective.
The current score is 63:55, and the score difference is slowly only 8 points.
Chauncey Billups!
Terry Stotts suddenly realized that although his thoughts had not been completely confirmed, he noticed the shadow of Billups behind the regeneration changes of the Pistons.
Mr. Key is worthy of being Mr. Key. He actually pulled the crooked rudder back at the critical moment.
The previous quarrels between the Pistons are real, the conflicts are real... and the timely repentance is also real.
Away seating area.
Billups took the initiative to find Josh Smith. The latter raised his head, looked at the man with a somewhat weathered face in front of him, and thought of the two passes he just passed to him...
Josh Smith is so stupid that he has no brains and has not reached the level of a fool. He understands why Billups came to him.
But a person like Josh Smith is a typical person who accepts softness rather than hardness. He will never speak first until the other party accepts softness.
Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Billups spoke first: "You foul-mouthed boy, remember what you said before, you will lead the team to win the game, right?"
Although Billups' tone was a little cold, it sounded as sweet as honey to Josh Smith. He stood up decisively and responded: "Of course, old guy, I will do what I say!"
"Then, the next step is up to you."
Billups smiled.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself: Yes, this guy seems to be right. I'm so old, why do I need to be angry? After the last two years, there will no longer be a player like Chauncey Billups in the league.
figure.
By then, how many people will remember me?
When Billups returned to his seat and sat down, his teammates were surprised to find that this man, who had always straightened his back, was now a little stooped, with his head drooped and his lips drooping. His once bright eyes were
It also started to look bleak.
Time is like a knife, it will eventually cut off a man's pride!
At the end of the timeout, the Pistons made substitutions, with Rodney Stuckey taking Chauncey Billups' place.
"Whoosh!"
The Pistons hit again on the offensive end, and it was still a team effort. Rodney Stuckey, who just came on the field, hit a 45-degree three-pointer from the left wing.
Fortunately, for the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin suddenly received Batum's pass from the high post and hit two points. He responded to Rodney Stuckey's goal and widened the score difference again.
This mid-range shot was thrown by Wang Zelin almost as soon as he took over, without any adjustments.
Accustomed to attacking the basket, Wang Zelin almost forgot that he still had a mid-range shot with a rating of close to 90.
After making that goal, Wang Zelin's score reached 13. It has been a long time since he has experienced how difficult it is to score.
Today's experience is a severe lesson that should be taken as a warning.
Thanks to his shooting percentage, which was pretty good, he made 5 of 9 shots over 50%, made 3 of 5 free throws, and his rebounds were in double digits.
13 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. I will try to get two or three more assists to complete a mini triple-double. After the game, no one will say that my performance was stretched.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So someone thought.
Why is this guy so big, but his shooting is so accurate...
Seeing Wang Zelin hit two points from the high post, Andre Drummond muttered softly.
I originally thought that Wang Zelin was not in good condition today and he could surpass his opponent once in terms of data.
But now it seems that he has thought too much.
As he kept beating, his score had just exceeded double digits, with 12 points scored. Wang Zelin had already surpassed him by 1 point, and even lost 1 rebound.
When he thought of rebounds, Andre Drummond cast a pair of hateful eyes at Josh Smith. If it weren't for this 13, how could he be overtaken...
Gift crab!
Damn Fuck!
On that high-post shot, when Wang Zelin guided the cannon ball accurately like a fort, no one from the Pistons was there to interfere. At that time, Jennings desperately tried to defend forward, and was only 0.0001 millimeters away from Wang Zelin's chin...
But he really can't cause any interference to Wang Zelin!
Everyone has worked so hard, and it’s hard for my teammates to say anything.
Andre Drummond looked at Wang Zelin, the fighting spirit in his eyes becoming more intense.
It is a rare opportunity for the two people's data to be so close. He must not perform worse than Wang Zelin!
…
So cruel!
In the second half of the quarter, Andre Drummond was like an enemy who killed his father, pestering Wang Zelin. He scored 2 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 block in a single quarter.
After this calculation, his rebound data has reached 15, surpassing Wang Zelin by 2, and his blocks are 2 more than Wang Zelin.
When I first came off the stage, my whole expression was very disappointed.
Because the Pistons were still lagging behind, 84:66, the score between the two sides was about to be pulled to 20 points.
In the third quarter, the Pistons collectively scored 27 points, which has exceeded their average score in a single quarter, which is not bad.
But they can't resist their opponents who are even more evil than them.
The Blazers did another 30!
31 points in a single quarter!
Among them, Aldridge made 7 of 9 in a single quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 16 points, and scored 44 points in three quarters, showing a strong momentum that will break 50 points tonight.
In the remaining 14 points, Wang Zelin made 4 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 8 points with a 100% shooting rate. His condition improved significantly.
In addition, he also had 2 rebounds and 1 assist, totaling 17 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in the three quarters, a near-triple-double.
Except for rebounds and blocks, almost every statistic is better than him, especially scoring.
Basketball is, after all, a scoring game, and compared with other statistics, it is naturally at a disadvantage.
More importantly, Wang Zelin is now only one three-pointer away from reaching 20 points, and his assists are not far away from reaching double figures.
If he is allowed to complete a triple-double of 20, 10, 10, Andre Drummond will definitely be overpowered again tonight.
unless......
He looked at the rebound statistics on the data bar and understood that there was only one way to stand out.
20 rebounds!
...
The atmosphere on the Trail Blazers bench was quite lively.
Everyone is really happy that Aldridge is about to have a 50-point night.
The atmosphere on the Trail Blazers bench was quite lively.
Everyone is really happy that Aldridge is about to have a 50-point night.
50 per game!
How many times in life can we have such an opportunity.
Wang Zelin's rookie season was epic. He scored 20 rebounds and 30 rebounds in a single game, and scored 30 and 40 points several times on night...
But the only thing missing is 50 in one game!
50 points seems to be a natural threshold that distinguishes the gap between average scorers and super scorers.
In fact, from the beginning of the new century to this year's 2013~2014 season, in more than 4,000 nights, a single 50-point performance only occurred 96 times.
Among them, only 14 players scored more than 50 points in a single game as inside players in the regular season, accounting for only 14.5%; and only one player scored more than 60 points in a single game in the Los Angeles Derby at the beginning of the century.
, faced with Shaquille O'Neal, who played 45 minutes, made 24 of 35 shots, and scored 61 points on his birthday... the only one.
From the above, we can see how difficult it is for inside players to play a classic scoring game in their career!
…
The final quarter begins.
The Pistons have no intention of giving up the game.
Trail Blazers possession.
At the top of the arc, Lillard holds the ball, looking for Aldridge.
Found it, he saw Aldridge was about to reach his position, just low on the left wing of the paint area, near the sideline.
Lillard immediately made a fake move, got rid of Chauncey Billups, who had regained playing time, and passed the ball in half a step.
When the ball was passed, Josh Smith stepped forward and began to press.
Aldridge also reacted very quickly. His arm was always in front of Josh Smith and he successfully caught the ball.
He went up to defend closely.
When defending a power forward with outstanding shooting ability like Aldridge, or an offensive power forward, if you let go, the opponent's shot may be too big, so you can't let it go.
Not only can it not be released, but after getting close to him, Josh Smith's long arms still need to be constantly waving to guard against the angle at which the opponent may take action. It also makes it more difficult for the opponent to pass the ball to the weak or in the middle.
So Aldridge stepped sideways and decided he was going to hit one of his own.
Singles was originally his first choice in the Blazers' tactical system.
He's aggressive enough and very good at it.
Josh Smith held Adridge's waist with his right hand, stepped back half a step with his left foot, raised his hands high, and looked very serious.
"46 points! 46 points! 46..."
Many fans suddenly stood up and successfully aroused the emotions of other fans. Everyone chanted a number together...
46 points!
With 6 points left, Aldridge can score 50 points. The fans applauded and cheered, cheering him on!
"call!"
The atmosphere at the home court made Josh Smith feel like he had entered a sauna. Big beads of sweat fell from his face, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Aldridge first used his shoulder to squeeze away the opponent and hit hard, then suddenly took a step back, turned over and shot a jumper.
Josh Smith reacted very quickly and jumped forward in time to block the shot.
To his despair, Aldridge's turnaround jump shot was slightly backwards. This angle was completely impossible to guard against!
In the end, I could only watch as my opponent put the ball into the basket.
Done!
Phew ~ 4 minutes left...
Aldridge let out a breath.
Unknowingly, his playing time increased and exceeded 33 minutes, which meant that he only rested for 3 minutes in the first three quarters.
High scores require high shots!
Every historical super scorer is famous for his physical strength in the league... Of course, there are very few exceptions.
Aldridge rubbed his waist subconsciously.
Fortunately, with Wang Zelin here, he doesn't need to worry about defense, otherwise he would be very tired.
At 86:66, the Pistons failed to hold on to the goal, and the score difference between the two sides reached 20 points.
Pistons offense.
Josh Smith is in the high post.
Wang Zelin took the initiative to change defense.
Adridge thanked him in his heart and approached Andre Drummond, who didn't have much independent offensive ability.
The rest of the Pistons pulled away and the Trail Blazers followed up, resulting in a large open space in the penalty area.
Billups passed the ball and then immediately ran to the left wing, taking Matthews away.
As long as his mind is online, Josh Smith is fully capable of shooting, passing, and breaking through, and his defensive difficulty is star-studded.
But Wang Zelin is confident that he can prevent this goal.
"Thank you so much just now, my brother! Without your three-pointers, there would be no rebounds for me. Oh, by the way, you seemed to have made one less three-pointer than Chauncey in the second quarter. How about I give you a chance and go outside?
Just vote for another one, I promise not to guard against you!"
Half a step away from Josh Smith, Wang Zelin spread his arms, arched his body, and kept teasing.
"Is what you said true?"
Josh Smith asked suddenly.
"...Of course, I will do what I say."
Wang Zelin replied seriously.
"That's fine."
Josh Smith snorted lightly, and then actually stepped back from the three-point line. Under the surprised eyes of his teammates and coaches, he raised the ball and fired.
No, Wang Zelin was also quite surprised, and then...
"Snapped!"
As soon as Josh Smith took the ball, he followed closely and slapped him directly.
"oh!"
At this time, exclamations sounded in the Rose Garden Arena, and then turned into cheers.
"Block! Fatal block! Is Josh Smith sick again?" Ma Jian laughed.
"This is just giving away hats! It seems that the king met a noble man today when he went out! First he gave away rebounds, and now he gives away hats, tsk tsk tsk."
Yang Jian smiled happily.
At this time, Wang Zelin stepped down quickly, and Aldridge and Batum also stepped down crazy fast. Wang Zelin passed the ball, and Batum used a two-step transition to assist Aldridge to complete an alley-oop dunk.
Got 48 points.
"50 points! 50 points! 50 points..."
At this moment, all the Portland Trail Blazers fans in the venue were excited, and some emotional fans even had tears in their eyes.
Although the Portland Trail Blazers have also won a championship, among the 30 teams in the league, they can only be said to be better than the best. Especially in terms of team history records, they really look a bit shabby.
The highest scoring record in team history was set by another famous Stoudemire, Damon Stoudemire, with 54 points in a single game in the 2004-05 season.
The only regret was that he failed to lead the Trail Blazers to victory in the game against the Hornets, but he also became famous in one battle, and one game was rated as one of the famous air-cutting battles of the beginning of the century.
The second-highest score in team history is held by Brandon Roy and Andre Miller with 52 points. These two games were won.
The third was "Glider" Drexler's 50 points in a single game, and he also won this game.
Except for the above four people, no player in the history of the Trail Blazers has scored more than 50 points in a single game.
This is why, in the future, a large number of media, fans and retired celebrities will all agree that Damian Lillard, who has not brought a championship to the Portland Trail Blazers, will become the history of the Portland Trail Blazers after his retirement.
First person.
In the Lillard era, the Trail Blazers went through two Western Conference Finals, and Lillard himself also won a team; all records of more than 60 points in a single game in team history are related to Lillard, and the number of games with more than 50 points in a single game in team history,
Lillard won more than half of them; in all scoring lists in team history, Lillard has already surpassed countless predecessors, either first or second...
Of course, the same is true for the turnover list and the iron list.
It can be said that in addition to a championship, Lillard has given everything to this team...
Of course, I didn’t get any less money either.
However, whether it is personal performance or team record, he is worthy of the salary paid by the team owner.
Now, with more than half a quarter left until the end of the game, Aldridge, who just scored 48 points, is only one step away from becoming the fifth player in team history.
He knows very well that if he wants to get it, he only needs 6 points, and he has to share the first place in team history with the Flying Squirrel.
With 7 points, he, LaMarcus Aldridge, can reach the top spot in team history.
Trail Blazers fans had been preparing silently, but when they felt that the new record was getting closer and closer to them, their excitement and excitement still prompted them to celebrate in advance.
Next, Pistons head coach Mike Conley never called a timeout until the first official timeout in the final quarter.
It makes no sense!
Given the general trend, if Aldridge doesn't break the record tonight, it's impossible to get a chance to end the game.
Not to mention the fans, teammates and coaches don't allow it, even Aldridge doesn't allow himself to do it.
There is one round left before the official timeout, the Blazers players.
At this time, Aldridge's score had already exceeded 50 and he scored 3 more points.
53 points in a single game!
Just one goal shy of Damon Stoudemire's record.
Next, whether he makes a two-pointer or a three-pointer, he will become the first player in the history of the game.
When the ball came into Wang Zelin's hands, Andre Drummond immediately came up to it without any hesitation. However, he did not give the ball away again, but chose to hit it in the low post.
Once, twice, when he was close to the three-second zone, Wang Zelin suddenly turned around and changed his back to the basket to face the basket. He only needed a hook to score two points.
At the critical moment, Josh Smith, who had been treated like a fool earlier, rushed over from the short corner on the left, preparing to regain the field with a hot pot shot.
However, Wang Zelin only pretended to pass the ball, and a confusing movement allowed him to avoid Josh Smith's block.
Where is the ball?
It came to Aldridge, who was standing three meters away. He was in the open position and reacted conditionedly to catch the ball.
The moment the ball was released, he suddenly became nervous again: If I don't score this goal, wouldn't I...
"Whoosh!"
Fortunately, the ball finally got into the basket smoothly, passed through the net and fell to the ground.
Two points are credited.
The first 55 points in a single game in team history~Achieved!
Beep~~~
Official pause, commercial time is up.
For some reason, Aldridge felt that the whistle that was once sharp and unpleasant became so pleasant to the ears at this moment.
When the unanimous voice of "MVP" rang out from the scene, Aldridge realized that he had returned to the bench.
I quickly turned around and took a look at the scoreboard...:
Fortunately, everything is true!
…
…
…
The official timeout ended, and the main players from both sides were no longer visible in the venue.
The most important goal of this game is achieved, let the substitute players shine in the last three minutes.
After the game, no one was going to show any fighting spirit and how many points the Detroit Pistons lost at the Rose Garden Arena.
People will only remember that on the night of November 8, 2013, Aldridge made 22 of 31 shots from the field, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 55 points, which not only set a career high, but also scored 55 points.
It also broke the 9-year-old record of 54 points in a single game held by Stoudemire.
A new all-time scoring record for the Portland Trail Blazers was born.
However, after lamenting Aldridge's feat, fans will turn their attention to Trail Blazers No. 36, who scored a triple-double of 20 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game.
No one remembers how bad his state was in this game, and he was even suppressed by his opponent at the beginning.
History will only tell latecomers: In that game, the original team's scoring leader discovered that his teammate LaMarcus Aldridge was having a blast, so he very selflessly reduced his personal shots and even switched to an organization...
They can't help but sigh: What an excellent team this is!
The best assistant in this game is none other than Wang Zelin!
