Chapter 596: Superior skills, dominating the game!
Rose Garden Arena.
Lakers bench.
When the third quarter ended, the score had become 79:68. The Trail Blazers easily took a double-digit lead, but the Lakers showed no sign of a comeback.
"Guys, we have a great chance to win this game, and all we need to do is go all out to do every offense and defense!"
"We must seize every offensive opportunity. Come on, guys, we will have the last laugh!"
Facing the somewhat low morale of the Lakers generals, Byron Scott said impassionedly.
The psychological pressure Wang Zelin brought to them in the first half was lingering. No one could restrain him on the offensive end, and he could always appear in the right position on the defensive end.
This kind of offensive and defensive performance is really disappointing!
Byron Scott also understands the current situation, but with his current ability, he really can't think of a good solution.
I'm afraid we can only rely on the players' own performance...
"Coach, I think we can boldly give up the restrictions on the Serbian and double-team the king with all our strength. Only in this way can we win the game!"
After a long silence, Rondo gave his opinion.
With Wang Zelin's ability in front of him in a one-on-one situation, it is impossible for anyone to restrain him, but if a double-teaming tactic is adopted, a different scene may appear.
And the most important thing is that Jokic is not Aldridge. Rondo doesn't believe how strong an offensive ability a mere rookie can be.
Double team?
Byron Scott was lost in thought.
Maybe, this is really the only way!
"Okay, then let's double-team Wang Zelin infinitely!"
After confirming his tactical thoughts, he no longer hesitated and decisively made gestures on the tactical board to arrange final tactics.
At the same time, the Trail Blazers' bench seemed much quieter.
During the break between sections, Coach Terry left the few moments he had for the players to rest and adjust.
As for the tactical arrangements?
When he is in the lead, he always believes in one principle: leaving the ball to the stars is the best tactical arrangement!
After a short adjustment, the final showdown between the two sides came as scheduled.
The Trail Blazers still have the same lineup. The Lakers have undergone personnel changes. Byron Scott replaced the team's third leading scorer Nick Young on the court and played small forward. The other positions remain unchanged.
The Trail Blazers had their first offense. After Wang Zelin and Lillard picked and rolled, they cut inside and were double-teamed. They cleverly assisted, and Jokic made a small floater under the basket.
At 81:68, the Trail Blazers took the lead in opening the game.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.
Rondo followed the tactical arrangement and hit the ball into Kobe's hands. After receiving the ball, Kobe pulled up and turned over and hit a fadeaway jumper.
The Lakers are in hot pursuit.
Trail Blazers offense.
Wang Zelin had just received the ball in the low post, when Pau Gasol and Ryan Kelly chose to double-team hard.
Although the Lakers also adopted such tactics in the first half, there were obvious flaws in both execution and determination.
But at this moment, the two of them are extremely decisive, and they are double-teamed!
Facing the Lakers' sudden change of formation, Wang Zelin, who reacted quickly, made a light pass to the ground.
Batum, who had moved to a 45-degree angle on the right, caught the ball and prepared to complete a mid-range shot.
However, as soon as he jumped to take aim, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, interrupting his shot in the middle.
Lakers No. 24 - Kobe Bryant!
what?
Everyone at the scene was shocked. When did Kobe get to that position?
Byron Scott looked happy. It seemed that the double-teaming tactic was used correctly and it really worked wonders.
"Snapped!"
With Batum's attack out of his head, Kobe grabbed the ball again and quickly launched a fast break.
"Return to defense! Come back to defense quickly!"
The home fans shouted.
But the next scene suddenly stopped their shouts.
I saw Kobe throwing the ball into the opposite half with one hand. Following the flight path of the ball, Nick Young happened to appear on the passing route. With no one to defend him, he easily pushed the ball through.
halftime.
Immediately afterwards, facing the unguarded basket, Nick Young chose to stop outside the three-point line, then jumped high and chased for a three-pointer.
"Fuck Fake, you bitch..."
On the sidelines, Byron Scott was furious and pointed at Nick Young with his trembling right hand.
In the live broadcast room of Chaotingtai.
"Nonsense! What a nonsense! This is irrational..."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Li was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He immediately slammed the table angrily, but the next moment, he experienced the feeling of going from hell to heaven.
"Whoosh!"
Nick Young's confident shot actually hit.
"emmm..."
Zhang Lili's face turned red, as if someone had grabbed fate by the throat, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"You are so awesome. I love you so much. This is what I'm going to do next!"
In contrast, Byron Scott's facial expression management skills are obviously much better than Zhang Lijia's, and he immediately waved his arms to cheer for Nick Young's goal.
"Hey, man, where's your defense? Are you all hanging out?"
"It seems that it is more suitable for you to accompany a woman and just play ball."
After catching the ball, Nick Young shouted excitedly to Batum behind him.?
He has always had a flamboyant personality, and he has long been unable to bear Wang Zelin's cynicism towards his teammates every time he scored in the first three quarters. Now that he has a rare opportunity, he naturally does not want to let it go.
Even when passing by Wang Zelin, he glanced at the former provocatively.
At this time, other teammates also came over to give Nick Young a high-five.
No matter how bad and unreasonable his choice was just now, as long as the ball goes in, it's a good goal!
Trail Blazers offense.
After patient transmission from the outside, the ball was handed to Wang Zelin again. The next moment, the Lakers' twin towers quickly double-teamed inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Wang once again faced two double-teams, who would he pass to... Oh, this time he chose to attack by himself, a beautiful hook
, he is expressing his offensive talents to his fullest!"
"So what if it's a double-team? In front of the king's Sky Hook, everything becomes air!"
As the tnt duo exclaimed again and again, the atmosphere at the scene gradually increased.
At the critical moment of the last quarter, you sing and I come on the stage. Both teams bring out their special skills and use all kinds of martial arts to fight. It is bound to be a fight to the death!
Under this intense and exciting battle between the two sides, the final quarter of the game quickly progressed to the last four and a half minutes.
The Lakers attacked. As Kobe Bryant hit the basket and made Wang Zelin a foul and made two free throws, the score reached 99:90. Entering the final quarter, the Lakers chased the point difference to single digits for the first time.
Looking for a pause?
Coach Terry took a special look at Wang Zelin, and when he saw the latter shaking his head, he lowered his right hand.
Anyway, if that's the case, let's leave it to the players themselves!
On the imperial court.
"The king has already scored 38 points, which is incredible. It seems that he will score 40 points again in this game!"
Yu Jia looked at the statistics table in his hand with excitement and said excitedly.
"The next round is crucial. If the Trail Blazers can score, the point difference on the court will be widened to double digits, which can effectively suppress the momentum of the Lakers; on the other hand, if the Lakers successfully defend and hit one
If the ball is thrown, then the situation on the field will most likely be reversed."
Not only Zhang Lili, but tens of thousands of fans at the scene, as well as countless viewers in front of the TV, were nervously watching every move on the field.
Halftime passed.
As we all know, at the critical moment of the game, every attack and defense is crucial, so the team will find ways to give the ball to the most stable person.
Judging from the current performance, the Blazers will definitely choose Wang Zelin without hesitation.
Based on Wang Zelin's current state and strength, 40 is already a certainty. Even if it is 50, it is not out of the question!
Lillard began to direct the players on the court to move without the ball.
"Oh my god, the Lakers actually chose to double-team Wang in advance. Are they planning to go all-out?"
With Kenny Smith's commentary, an incredible scene appeared on the scene.
The Lakers chose to double-team in advance without the ball. This is simply crazy!
Lillard was slightly stunned when he saw this. He didn't expect the Lakers to be so extreme. But he quickly regained his composure and quickly chose to break through.
At this moment, the opponent's defense is very tight. Logically speaking, it would be a more reasonable choice for Lillard to choose an outside shot.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that he has no intention of doing this.
"Bang!"
With the help of Jokic's pick-and-roll, Lillard quickly rushed to the basket.
The attention of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol was also attracted by Lillard at this moment. They did not expect that the latter would be so decisive and subconsciously defended.
But it was this moment of distraction that allowed Lillard to find a gap to pass the ball.
A behind-the-back pass in extreme space, Wang Zelin became the final destination of the ball!
"Snapped!"
After receiving the ball, Wang Zelin took a step forward, adjusted his position, and then jumped up decisively to slam down the ball.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
The moment the dunk ended, the referee's whistle also followed.
It turned out that Ryan Kelly was trying to stop Wang Zelin's defense, and even had his hands on Wang Zelin's waist...
But no matter in terms of physical explosion or reaction speed, the energy contained in the two people's bodies is completely different.
In the end, the Lakers had no choice but to pay a foul!
Not far away, Kobe, who once worked with O'Neal to build a dynasty, shook his head helplessly. He was very aware of the devastating dominance of this super center under the basket!
I don’t know how many insiders there were at the beginning, and they obviously didn’t have any skills. Just relying on their solid tonnage, they were able to make a living in the NBA.
The figure of Trail Blazers No. 36 in front of him is slowly overlapping with the figure of the giant No. 34 in Kobe's memory.
He had to admit that it would be too difficult to guard Wang Zelin with just Pau Gasol and Ryan Kelly!
"Whoosh!"
The free throw was solid. After the hit, Wang Zelin's score had exceeded 40.
So far, his on-court statistics are 41 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal, 3 fouls and 1 turnover.
Tonight, he is very likely to produce another fantastic stat!
Of course, more importantly, the score between the two sides became 102:90, and the score difference was widened to double digits.
In the next round, Kobe made another breakthrough layup and just stopped the team's bleeding, but before the Lakers could be happy for too long, Wang Zelin turned around and fouled Pau Gasol!
He successfully got the opponent the sixth foul of the game and left the field immediately!
Byron Scott was paralyzed in the coaching chair with an injury in despair. As Paul left the game with six fouls and fell behind by 10 points, it also meant that the Lakers could no longer win.
In the following games, Wang Zelin was even more unstoppable at the basket, and he played an omnipotent offensive and defensive performance.
For the Lakers, only Kobe Bryant could barely score, but he couldn't lead the team forward.
After playing for more than two minutes, the score difference on the court had reached 20 points. Coach Terry replaced Wang Zelin in advance.
There is now just over a minute left before the end of the game. Unless Kobe can produce the same offensive efficiency as Tracy McGrady in the remaining time, the Lakers can basically be declared dead in advance.
On the way off the field, all the fans in the Rose Garden Arena stood up and applauded Wang Zelin.
Tonight Wang Zelin scored 46 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 1 steal. Facing the Los Angeles Lakers, he played another classic game in his career.
Emmm, even though he has had a lot of classic battles this season, he seems to have no shortage of this one.
But no matter what, in the direct dialogue with Kobe, he successfully suppressed the latter's 36 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and had the last laugh in this direct dialogue between the league's super giants.
.
Returning to the bench, Wang Zelin also waved to the audience.
In the end, the Trail Blazers had no intention of narrowing the point difference under continuous outside bombardment by Beverley, Carter, and Richard Jefferson.
The completely defeated Lakers were unable to fight back and could only watch the score difference on the big screen getting wider and wider.
7.9 seconds before the end, the overall situation was decided. Even though Byron Scott scratched his head, he had to accept the reality. With a wave of his hand, Kobe and other main players were replaced in advance.
When the game ended, the cheers in the Rose Garden Arena were deafening, and everyone was trying their best to vent their joy of victory!
On the other side, the Lakers players walked into the tunnel one by one with their heads downcast.
Before leaving, Kobe had to force a smile and shake hands with Wang Zelin...
No matter how harshly he spoke before the game, he looks so miserable now!
98:120, the Lakers lost by a huge score of 22 points in the away game.
"Yes, we lost. There is nothing we can do against the king! He is really too strong!"
After the game, at the Lakers' press conference, every Lakers fan couldn't help but feel sad at this moment when they saw Kobe's loneliness and exhaustion when he faced the camera.
The once omnipotent god in their hearts is now heading down the mountain; and the new, younger god is now climbing towards a higher peak!
