Wang Zelin, whose opponent was so ungrateful in martial arts, had no choice but to move to a higher position and try to get rid of the Mosaic team's encirclement.
Mosaic saw Wang Zelin walking out of the paint area, and the encirclement relaxed, focusing more on the other Blazers players.
In the high position, Wang Zelin got the basketball, and the fans in the entire Toyota Center swallowed their saliva. How destructive Wang Zelin is. In just 4 minutes, the fans have already seen it. They are worried that Wang Zelin will continue to continue his previous behavior.
Terrifying firepower.
In the receiving position, Wang Zelin found that Howard was still some distance away from him, and was about to speed up the breakthrough. At this time, Connett Lee suddenly made an air cut from the weak side. Jokic took a step up in time to block Harden, and provided an offensive cover.
.
In this way, Connet Lee formed an air cut to the basket, and it was a wide open space.
Seeing this, Wang Zelin decisively threw a high pass to Connett Lee below, who caught the ball and got up for a layup.
Howard wanted to go back to guard Connett Lee, but was blocked by Patton.
"Whoosh!"
Connett Lee hit a two-pointer.
At 5:15, the point difference was once again stretched to double digits.
"This is the real superstar! A real superstar can never be restricted on the court!" Zhang Li said.
Mosaic attack.
"Give me!"
Harden caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced quickly.
Looking at Harden's retreating back, Jeremy Lin secretly clenched his fists, but eventually slowly loosened them.
This time Harden arrived in the frontcourt and did not wait for his teammates to get into position before controlling the ball with one hand and directing the Mosaic team's traffic with the other. Instead, he decisively started to work alone.
When Harden broke through again and attracted Jokic's defense, Harden passed the ball to Motiejunas without looking at anyone. After receiving the basketball, Harden made a steady mid-range shot.
At 7:15, the point difference was still huge, but Harden's calm attitude quickly infected all his teammates on the court.
"This ball is played quite easily. This shows my confidence!" Yu Jia said.
The game continues, the Blazers attack.
Wang Zelin moved towards the basket again, and Howard could only stick to the upper side to defend, but he immediately used his strength to push Howard forward, taking a step away, and vacated the basket.
At this time, Lillard passed the ball to the basket, and Ariza and Motiejunas rushed forward together, quickly forming a flanking attack.
"Sure enough, in the eyes of the Mosaic team, Zelin is too much of a threat."
When Zhang Lili was talking, Wang Zelin had already collided with Ariza, and an opportunity appeared for Will Barton in the right corner.
But this time, he didn't pass the ball again.
"bring it on!"
With a roar, Wang Zelin jumped up against the defense.
"Snapped!"
Motiejunas jumped from the side and reached out to try to block the shot, but he slapped Wang Zelin's left wrist firmly.
"hiss!"
The fans and the Chaotingtai duo who saw this action on the big screen couldn't help but feel their hearts twitching.
On the court, a sharp pain came from the wrist of his left hand. Wang Zelin turned his head and glared at Moteyunas, and then felt fierce in his heart...
"boom!"
Grab the ball with one hand and dunk head-on.
Moreover, this ball also earned the referee's whistle and an extra penalty.
"Whoosh!"
After a while, at the free throw line, Wang Zelin steadily hit the extra penalty, giving Mosaic a strong response.
That is:
Please continue to double-team, I can bear it!
On Mosaic's side, Harden continued to play singles after halftime. Facing Connett Lee, he suddenly made a cold arrow from the outside and hit a three-pointer.
Just like what Yu Jia said, Beard has really entered the state now. After scoring the goal, he used his exclusive celebration action of spreading salt in the void when returning to defense.
Blazers' offensive possession.
The ball was once again in Wang Zelin's hands.
This is also expected, because he was the hottest player on the field today, and he did not disappoint the expectations of his teammates.
"Beep——!"
"Bang..."
With another whistle from the referee, Wang Zelin stubbornly sent the ball into the basket during the aerial confrontation. This time the foul was committed on Howard, who was directly knocked to the ground by her terrifying power.
After the mosaic was blown and the foul was committed, the referee did not forget to remind the staff on the sidelines to come over and wipe the floor where Howard had just been lying.
I’m not going to brag about it, but there is definitely something to be said for the quality of the Mosaic team’s home floor.
Well, after Motiejunas fell down in the last round, Howard fell down again. After two consecutive falls, those two unlucky guys only made the Mosaic team's home floor sweat a little more.
Now, Michael Hale looked sad.
In these two rounds, he saw the determination and courage shown by Trail Blazers No. 36 on the court. He originally thought that after the guy on the opposite side was double-teamed, he would slightly share the offensive tasks with his teammates.
but……
These 13 are really tough!
It was completely beyond his expectation.
When Wang Zelin stepped to the free throw line again, he heard the noise from the scene, but his heart was unusually calm.
Where are we now?
Just two 2 1!
Besides, my free throws were made with real skill and skill, unlike his later beard, which annoyed everyone.
Standing on the free throw line under the overwhelming boos from Mosaic fans, Wang Zelin even took the initiative to wave to the fans on both sides, as if to say:
Let the storm come more violently!
Sure enough, after he made this move, the boiling point at Toyota Center increased a lot.
"hey-hey!"
He smiled and the referee passed the ball.
Raise your head, catch the ball, shake your wrist...
Whoosh!
The additional penalty was successful.
At 10:21, the score difference widened further and further.
"With consecutive scores of 2 1, James Harden seemed a little confused. His singles did not seem to be able to help Mosaic narrow the score difference."
After consecutive hits in singles, the point difference became wider and wider. Not only Harden on the court, but also McHale on the sidelines suddenly became a little anxious.
On the ESPN commentary stage, Drexler and Ewing were speechless by Wang Zelin's performance.
In half a quarter, he efficiently scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Such a performance was impeccable.
On the other hand, Howard, who is on the opposite side, currently has 0 points, only 1 rebound, and the other three basic statistics are all 0.
The crazy milk before the game, now it seems, is actually more of poisonous milk!
Otherwise, let’s call him Huo Yiban from now on?!
…
At the end of the first quarter, at 43:18, the Trail Blazers led by 25 points.
Wang Zelin made 7 of 9 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block.
Halfway through the first quarter, as Changsha's point difference widened to 20 points, Wang Zelin was immediately replaced.
Since he is still injured, the original plan of the management and coaching staff before the game was that for health reasons, he could only play for 25 to 30 minutes tonight. But no one expected that he would actually bring such a big impact to everyone.
Big surprise.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s skyhook stunt reappears in NBA!
After the first quarter of the game between the Trail Blazers and Mosaic, this news quickly became a hot search topic on major sports portals in North America.
