Chapter 389 It turns out that there was someone else who broke out
"Oh ho ho ho! Hashim Thabeet! Our second pick sent a shocking block!"
The Thunder's home DJ was so moved by Thabeet's defense that he almost cried.
It's pity that Thabeet, except for his first season after being traded to the Thunder, played well at the beginning of the season. On November 21, 2012, in the Thunder's game against the Hornets, he scored 13 points and 10 rebounds.
, which is also the first double-double in his career...
Except for that night, Thabeet continued his "tepid" stable performance in previous seasons, averaging about 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
Because the blocked shot was blown out of the line, the Trail Blazers sent the ball to the sideline.
However, Thabeet's sudden block still made his teammates on the court excited.
Sometimes, there is a master of rim protection standing under the basket. The bonus to the team's morale and the suppression of the enemy team's desire to attack the basket are unimaginable to outsiders.
Wasn't it because the Thunder management chose to sign Thabeet because of his defensive talent?
On the sidelines, David Vanderpool came to Terry Stotts and asked vigilantly: "Mr. Stotts, should we call a timeout first? The Thunder's morale is now up..."
Before he finished speaking, Terry Stotts raised his hand to interrupt the assistant coach's good intentions: "No, the more times like this, the more we can't call a timeout!"
"Why?"
David Vanderpool looked puzzled.
"Not to mention that the score is still tied, so what if we are one or two points behind the opponent? We have to have confidence in Wang and the others. Calling a timeout at this time will not only encourage the opponent's arrogance, but more importantly, it will most likely suppress them.
The confidence of the players on the field.”
After explaining, Terry Stotts turned his attention back to the court, leaving the assistant coaches behind him thinking secretly in their hearts.
…
"Snapped!"
Soon, Lillard received a sideline ball from Aldridge. At this time, Westbrook was blocked by Batum. Lillard immediately took off and shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
"Duang~"
However, the open three-pointer, which has always been a sure success, failed today.
"Alas!"
"Fuck!"
Just as Zhang Lili sighed, Yu Jia immediately shouted out.
Zhang Lili quickly took another look and called out:
"Fuck!"
On the court, after Lillard hit a three-pointer, three or four big men immediately huddled under the basket.
In the end, Wang Zelin roughly pushed away Durant in front of him, pulled half a step to the left, and got space to jump.
"Don't even think about it!"
Thabeet also tried his best to grab the rebound, and jumped up almost at the same time as Wang Zelin.
"Snapped!"
Thabit jumped up from behind, and inadvertently, he slapped Wang Zelin's forearm hard, and pulled it again, and a long and thin blood mark appeared.
Fortunately, the ball was finally collected by Wang Zelin. When the whistle blew, Wang Zelin faced the basket and smashed the ball in with both hands.
"boom!"
After dunking in, Wang Zelin grabbed the frame with both hands and shook his body a few times before giving up.
After landing, Wang Zelin wiped the blood on his right forearm with his left index finger. After inserting it, there was still a trace of blood on it. Then he put it in his mouth and took a sip. He stared at Thabit and smiled coldly.
"hiss!"
Everyone present immediately took a breath of air.
Some Thunder fans even pointed at Wang Zelin and scolded: "Pervert!"
"Come on! It's a foul next!"
After hearing the sound from the stands, Wang Zelin also exploded and yelled at Tatum.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee rushed over and quickly separated the two.
"Man, go shoot the free throws! Don't make trouble!"
The referee glanced at Wang Zelin and felt a headache.
This kid is so noisy!
"You are the boss, you have the final say!"
Wang Zelin raised his hands in the air with a frivolous expression, looking like "I surrender" and smiled.
After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked Batum, who had not yet recovered, "Have you ever tasted despair?"
After saying that, without waiting for the opponent to reply, he went straight to the free throw line.
"Come on! King!"
"Man, your dunk was cool!"
Matthews and Lillard came up from behind and gave Wang Zelin a high-five.
"Hey, where are we now?"
Wang Zelin smiled with a stinking look on his face.
"You kid..."
Matthews and Lillard looked at each other helplessly, made close contact with Wang Zelin's butt, and then returned to their original positions.
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, he made his fourth free throw of the game. Wang Zelin continued to maintain a 100% free throw shooting rate tonight.
At the same time, he also scored his 15th point of the game.
In the next few minutes, Wang Zelin officially took over the game. He stepped up his attacks at the basket and low-post singles, clearly planning to take over.
Instead, it was the Thunder's turn to engage in teamwork. After Durant scored two goals, he began to pass after the breakthrough. In addition, Westbrook also focused on the combination of sudden passes. All the Thunder players on the court were equally affected.
Everyone gets a certain amount of points.
At the 9th minute of the third quarter, Wang Zelin was finally replaced.
At this time, people discovered that his score had become the highest in the game, and the same was true for his rebounds and blocks.
26 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks!
It turns out that what really breaks out tonight is this giant dragon from the east!
On the court, the Trail Blazers led the Thunder by 77:67, just 10 points ahead.
Tianchao commentary booth.
Zhang Lili and Yu Jia had red faces and were discussing a topic: What will Wang Zelin's final data be tonight?
The first is Zhang Lili: "I think 20 rebounds is definitely stable. Then I guess 35 points and 20 rebounds!"
"Wow!"
"You blew it too hard!"
"It's not cruel at all. With the king's state tonight, he can probably break 40 points!"
At the same time, Tianchao fans who were watching the live broadcast were also having heated discussions in the message board.
Here in the United States.
"I think your situation is still too small." Yu Jia waved his hand and said with a smile: "In my opinion, the king can definitely see the data of 40 20 tonight... Well, plus 5 blocks!
"
"Hahaha, let's wait and see!"
Zhang Lili was also amused by Yu Jia's answer and laughed loudly.
However, someone on the field didn't think so.
Trail Blazers bench.
Wang Zelin, whose butt had just touched the bench after coming off the field, almost turned green when he heard Zhang Lili and Yu Jia's wild blows.
Brother, don’t set a flag for me!
My little brother can't bear it!
You may not have noticed that many villains who had an absolute advantage in the early stage were deceived by flags one after another. Wang Zelin did not want to follow in the footsteps of some villains.
He just wants stable happiness!
However, it can also be said from the side that Wang Zelin's outburst in the third quarter was indeed a bit cruel, which made the outside world full of expectations.
