Parker advanced to the frontcourt and accelerated to the left.
Lillard quickly followed up, but at this moment Parker suddenly turned around and saw him going to the right, completing the breakthrough.
But he still didn't dare to enter the three-point line, because Wang Zhelin was standing below the service line, staring at him with a half-smiling expression, as if to say:
Come here!
Parker took two steps to the right at the top of the arc and made a jump shot. Unfortunately, the ball was a little short.
Duang～
The ball bounced out of the frame, Wang Zelin blocked Duncan who was trying to turn to the basket, and Aldridge was left with the rebound.
Aldridge raised the ball over his head and found Lillard, who made a long pass. Half a second later, with a violent explosion of the rim, he received his sixth assist of the night.
82:82, both sides tied.
"Tony, be tougher and fight inside!"
Entering the fourth quarter with 4 points, Simawei thought he had an absolute advantage, but after just a few rounds, he was filled with uneasiness.
Opponent Wang Zelin has played 31 minutes so far, scoring 25 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and an astonishing 5 blocks. It's no wonder that Parker is resistant to attacking the inside.
In addition, Aldridge scored 17 points in the first three quarters, and Lillard also scored 15 points. At present, it is only possible for the Trail Blazers' Big Three to complete the feat of scoring 20 points again tonight.
No one knows how much Sima Wei missed the youth army in Oklahoma City at this time.
Compared with the Thunder Youth Army, the core of the Trail Blazers Youth Army is far stronger than the former in terms of the team's internal framework, technical style of play, and mentality.
Aldridge played in some years with comprehensive skills and a good temperament.
Although Lillard has been injured for a year, he is still a senior anyway. As we all know, the NCAA seniors who can still enter the green room are almost all representatives with high immediate combat ability.
On the contrary, Wang Zelin, who is just in his early 20s, is obviously the youngest player in the Trail Blazers. Not only does his potential exceed that, but his combat power is also terrifying.
In just one season, he exchanged his talents for everything.
What's even more outrageous is that just this "seven, seven, eight, eight" has given him enough ability to compete with all the powerful players for the regular season MVP trophy.
Well, by the way, they won in the end.
Faced with such a rising superstar with excellent offensive and defensive attributes of the new generation, the teamwork that the Spurs were proud of in the past... With Wang Zelin sitting in the post, the Spurs players used to have coquettish running positions and tacit passing passes.
The connection is not able to operate to the maximum extent.
After all, the small ball era has not yet arrived, and the so-called magic ball theory is out of the question. Although many knowledgeable people have become increasingly aware of the importance of three-pointers, once the playoffs arrive, the league still
Implementing the eternal law of change:
Defense wins championships!
Even the Spurs, a team with the highest three-point production and efficiency in the regular season, cannot be like the Mosaic team in later generations, which is a strong three-point team. The entire team frequently takes 3,50 three-pointers in a game.
.
In this era, it is normal for a team to take 20 three-pointers per game, and it is rare for a team to take 30 three-pointers per game.
But today, under the threat of Wang Zelin sitting in the paint, the Spurs played obviously a little abnormally today. At least there were not many brothers in this scene, so it seemed like that.
In less than three quarters, the Spurs took an astonishing 28 three-pointers, which has exceeded the average number of attempts per game in previous series and regular seasons.
It can be seen that Wang Zelin's dominance in the interior is not limited to the penalty area. As long as he steps within the three-point line, it is his defensive hot zone.
In the next round, Parker did not force the shot after breaking through, but passed it back to Danny Green outside the three-point line. However, tonight's Danny Green three-pointer felt very average.
He went 0 for 3 from 3 in the first half, 1 for 2 in the third quarter, and 1 for 5 in the second half, with a shooting percentage of only 20%.
After receiving Parker's sudden score, Danny Green shot his school's sixth three-pointer from the low corner. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three-pointer. In the end...
Another "Duang!"
Danny Green hit a three-pointer.
Tonight, I would like to call it Tielin!
"Spurs players made too many bad choices tonight, such as three-pointers. So far, they have made 8 of 29 shots. Pearl Green has a high 27.5%."
After explaining, Yu Jia shook his head.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The Spurs stole so many three-pointers tonight, and even blocked 5 shots after the game. If they had played more inside, I'm afraid they would have died more miserably." Zhang Li said.
Obviously, the Chaotingtai duo, who have not experienced the prosperous three-point period in later generations, believe that the Spurs have reached a dead end, but they do not repent and keep rushing in.
On the court, the Spurs were attacking. Wang Zelin succeeded in grabbing the rebound, landed decisively and led the team to initiate a fast break, grabbing the ball and dribbling forward.
The moment Wang Zelin started the fast break, Dongkou followed up with his old legs, but could only fall behind.
In the frontcourt, on the Spurs' side, only Leonard returned to defense in time. On the Trail Blazers' side, in addition to Wang Zelin, Batum and Lillard were already in place.
The whole game was 3 versus 1, and the ending was blindly visible.
The only suspense is that if Lillard and Batum go in from one left and one right, who will Wang Zelin pass the ball to?
Or did he choose to do it himself?
Comparing the two, Leonard under the basket quickly made a choice and subconsciously moved a step to the left, tending to defend Batum.
In this case, Wang Zelin was not polite and decisively shot the ball to the right.
Not long after, he encountered a figure wearing No. 0 and soared into the air. He grabbed the ball with his left hand first, then followed with his right hand. He stretched his waist to the outside and formed an arch in the air. Finally, he slam dunked the ball with both hands.
"boom!"
At 84:82, the Trail Blazers hit a 6:0 spurt.
The Spurs, who had not scored a point in several rounds, were once again on the verge of trouble.
What other adjustments can they make?
The ending is that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice!
In fact, not only Wang Zelin, but the entire Trail Blazers have grown so fast this year that it has exceeded everyone's expectations.
Also, for such a young team, no one will naturally have some contempt in their hearts. What's wrong with the regular season? There have been countless regular season dragons and pseudo-strong teams in the playoffs in NBA history.
When thinking about the countless negative cases in the past, there will always be people who take a chance and think that the Trail Blazers will definitely not be able to do so in the playoffs, even if the Trail Blazers and Farmers made it to the Western Conference Finals last year.
The mentality of taking chances is something that everyone has. Just like trademarks, it is one of the several major qualities of human beings.
When it came to the playoffs, the Trail Blazers performed as dominant as they did in the regular season, officially announcing to the outside world that they were not only the kings of the regular season, but also in the playoffs.
