24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists in a single quarter, successfully breaking the record for the highest points in a single quarter in the first quarter of the Trail Blazers' playoff history!
This guy Wang Zelin, when he gets excited, is simply unstoppable, scoring nearly as many points as the entire Warriors team by himself.
The Splash Brothers no longer know how to describe Wang Zelin like this. Although some people predicted before the game that Wang Zelin is very likely to go on a rampage tonight, but is this too outrageous?
Green's expression was gloomy. He knew very well that if the Warriors lost this game, then his previous remarks would become the biggest weapon to bite him!
However, Wang Zelin's terrifying strength left him unable to find a way to deal with it for a while.
But fortunately, only one quarter has passed. In theory, the Warriors still have a chance, and it's not time to give up now!
Soon, the short break ended and the second quarter continued.
Fortunately, when both sides were on the bench, Yingodala kicked open the coffin board.
In fact, it can be seen simply from the data that during the regular season, Yingodala averaged 7 3 3 per game, but in the playoffs, various data increased rapidly, including double figures, rising to 10.5 points.
Plus 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals.
Including the field goal percentage, it has also increased from 46.6% in the regular season to 47.4%, and the three-point shooting percentage has also stabilized at more than 35%, making opponents absolutely afraid to let him shoot open shots easily.
In addition to Ying Guodala, David Lee and Livingston of the Warriors are also among the best bench gangsters in the league.
Relying on the outstanding performance of the three men, the Warriors quickly launched a counterattack.
Three minutes passed in the second quarter. Ying Guodala, David Lee, and Livingston combined to score, quickly catching up to 6 points.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers also have a group of reliable substitutes. Connett Lee hit a key three-pointer and stopped the team's decline in time. Otherwise, the team would most likely be quickly caught up by the Warriors.
After the Warriors scored 11 points in a row, Coach Terry decisively called a timeout without even thinking about it.
After the main lineups of both sides returned to the court, Wang Zelin began to take over the game again.
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard decisively used Wang Zelin's screen to hit a three-pointer.
But Curry's interference with Lillard was effective, and the ball bounced off the basket.
Both BoGt and Green wanted to grab offensive rebounds, but...
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin took off and stretched his right arm straight into the air. The squad leader grabbed the falling ball and then directly completed the dunk against the two of them.
The basket suddenly trembled, causing the photographer under the basket to feel inexplicably panic, worried that the scene just now would happen again.
The Trail Blazers lead by 8 points.
"ah!
"
The Rose Garden Arena suddenly fell into carnival.
"Wow, Wang's putback dunk! Congratulations to the Warriors, your basket was blown up again! Congratulations to Green, your big mouth was slapped hard again, haha!"
After roaring with excitement, Reggie Miller taunted Green mercilessly.
"Beautiful! Beautiful! Although Damien didn't see the ball, he has to hit it like that. If the opportunity arises, he must not be soft-hearted!"
The red giant shouted excitedly.
Warriors attack.
After Curry got the ball, he dribbled across half court and quickly passed the ball to Green on the side.
Thompson and Barnes also rushed on the other side, Curry also began to move without the ball, and the Warriors quickly entered their own offensive rhythm.
Having Wang Zelin in the penalty area is a huge deterrent to the Warriors!
Curry pretended to break through to the side that was not covered. After Lillard shifted his center of gravity, the elementary school student used an extremely fast reverse run to the bottom corner and whizzed past Aldridge.
Although he suffered a serious ankle injury, Curry's speed is definitely not slow.
Seeing that Lillard was deceived by Curry, Aldridge simply bypassed the screen from behind Aldridge, quickly completed the defense switch with Lillard, and stepped in to prevent Curry from making a three-pointer.
Seeing that Aldridge was some distance away from Curry, Green did not hesitate and quickly shot the ball!
"Snapped!"
When he reached the bottom corner, Curry just turned around and received a pass from Green. He carefully put his feet away from the three-point line and decisively chose to make a pull-up jump shot.
Curry, as the current three-point champion, also has the fastest shot in the league. Aldridge knows that there is a high probability that he will not be able to catch up. Unless he is as fast as lightning, it is impossible to shoot faster than Curry.
Cole has already waved his fist off the court in advance. As long as Curry can hit a three-pointer to narrow the point difference to the 5-point threshold, then it is not impossible for the Warriors to overtake the score!
It's true that Aldridge isn't lightning fast, but the Trail Blazers have someone who can.
Curry took the shot calmly, and his shooting feeling was very good. He had a hunch that the ball would go smoothly into the net!
"Snapped!"
The basketball made a muffled sound in the air, like a cannonball, and was ejected into the stands.
Then, the guy who completely blocked the shot landed steadily, and because of the buffer, he rushed out of the sideline and hit the audience in the first row.
The primary school student was completely shocked. He would never forget the number printed on the Trail Blazers jersey, the 36...
"Wang Zelin, it's him again, he once again successfully prevented the Warriors from trying to narrow the point difference! God, he was really everywhere tonight. Curry has obviously deceived Lillard, and he did get a good one.
It was a good timing to shoot, but who would have thought that Wang Zelin would make up for it immediately!"
"Less than the fourth block in the half! This is Wang Zelin's fourth block today! If he maintains this efficiency and gets 10 or more blocks throughout the game, it will mean..."
Having said this, Reggie Miller paused and rolled his eyes. After confirming that the information in his hand was correct, he continued to yell into the microphone.
"This will mean that Wang Zelin will become another player besides Serge Bacca who has contributed 10 blocks in a single game three times in the playoffs in this century!"
After the roar, not only Reggie Miller couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but the audience who was listening to the commentary also did the same.
In this game, can Wang Zelin really be that crazy?
Among the five basic statistics of a player, steals and blocks are often the most direct reflection of a player's defensive value on the court.
Even in the regular season, 10 blocks on the court is something that is elusive, let alone the playoffs, which are more intense and have many experts.
You know, since the beginning of the new century, from 2000 to this season, there have only been 22 single-game playoff games with double figures in blocks in the past 15 years.
There are also cases where the same person has blocked double figures multiple times. Strictly speaking, only 15 people have accomplished this feat.
If the requirements are more stringent, such as completing double figures in blocks in a single game twice in the playoffs, then this category will be reduced to 4 people.
These four people are Mutombo, Ben Wallace, Marcus Camby, and Yinbaka.
If the requirement goes further and becomes three times, then only Yin Baka will be able to meet the standard.
In fact, since the league officially introduced detailed statistics for the season, there are almost only a handful of stars who can block double figures in three playoff games.
Precisely because this incident was so unbelievable, Reggie Miller paused just now and forced himself to calm down before he dared to yell.
Because he really couldn't believe that Wang Zelin was very likely to set a new record!
It can be thought that Wang Zelin has broken people's perception of him time and time again in the past, and Reggie Miller has a faint expectation in his heart.
Can a miracle really happen?
…
On the field.
After Cole saw that Curry's shot was blocked, the fist he originally pumped dropped again. Wang Zelin blocked Curry's almost certain shot, preventing the Warriors from narrowing the point difference to 5 points, and very likely to break the gap between all parties.
A playoff record...
This wave can be called shrimp and pig heart!
The frustrated Cole sat back on the bench and looked at the main players on the court coldly.
Should we find a timeout?
After thinking about it, Cole chose not to call a timeout!
Moreover, Cole is still stubbornly insisting on that idea in his heart: Even if Wang Zelin is playing well now, he cannot defeat a strong playoff team with the hope of winning the championship by himself.
Something that even Jordan couldn't accomplish.
So, he decided to take another look!
…
The ball was served from the sideline and the Warriors reorganized their offense.
Curry was running on the left wing without asking for the ball. It seemed that he had not affected the game state because of the block just now, but was actively involved in running.
Wang Zelin is still moving back and forth near the free throw line, always ready to help defend.
At the top of the arc, Green moved for a while and still looked for Curry.
Curry did not play the role of the end point after receiving the ball this time. Instead, he used his own traction to pass the ball to the left wing and took the initiative to run past Thompson.
In the end, after Thomson received the ball, he took a step away from Matthews and hit a two-pointer.
The point difference between the two teams returned to 6 points.
Curry played very calmly on this shot and did not rely on long shots from the outside to chase points.
Trail Blazers offense.
Wang Zelin served quickly and found Batum who had just run to the center circle. Batum quickly launched a counterattack after receiving the ball. After entering the penalty area, he caused a defensive foul on Bogt. This was Bogt's third foul of the game.
Compared to the frontcourt, Bogut obviously did not handle his own foul problem that well tonight.
Of course, it also has something to do with Wang Zelin and his teammates targeting him many times.
Batum made one of two free throws, which was a bit of a pity.
Green collected the rebound, followed Wang Zelin's example, and also made a long pass.
"Snapped!"
Thomson caught the ball.
From the corner of his eye, he saw someone rushing over. The moment he caught the ball, he quickly moved forward with firm and powerful steps, and then...
"Peng!"
An embarrassing scene happened. As soon as Thomson dribbled the ball into the three-point line, he suddenly stumbled with his left foot and stumbled to the ground with his right foot. The ball hit his feet and bounced out of the baseline.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
“Is this the Golden State Comedian?”
"No, no, no, this is Golden State Irving!"
"Klay Thompson is so funny, especially his aggrieved look, it's so funny."
Thompson's saucy move immediately caused the fans in the audience to burst into laughter.
"Pfft! Kelai, do you need me to pull you?"
Wang Zelin, who retreated quickly, did not expect that Thompson would actually complete the "finish" in this way. After laughing, he stepped forward and asked.
"Huh, no need!"
When Thompson knocked Wang Zelin's hand over, he lay on the floor and quickly did two push-ups, then he exerted force and quickly stood up.
Little did he know that the push-ups he thought would relieve his embarrassment actually triggered a second wave of laughter.
In the blink of an eye, the Rose Garden Arena turned into a sea of laughter, and Thompson's delicate face turned as red as a monkey's butt in a short time.
"Ahem, Kelai, if you don't do it next time, you better pass the ball back to me!"
As a damaged friend, Curry couldn't help but make a joke after Thompson returned to defense and the two high-fived each other.
"..."
But Thomson did not reply, but walked away silently.
The sudden interlude only made the scene hilarious for a short time. Tonight's battle at Tianwang Mountain is of great importance, and the main theme on the field is still the iron-blooded fight!
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard and Wang Zelin's pick-and-roll.
After the pick and roll, Lillard directly lobbed the ball to Wang Zelin. After Wang Zelin received the ball, he turned around and passed BoGt, kicked off the ground, and completed a one-handed dunk!
There was a loud "bang", and the Warriors' basket exploded again.
In the second half of the quarter, Wang Zelin continued to kill everyone, scoring 22 points in a single quarter!
At the end of the second quarter, the fans at the scene were surprised to find that Wang Zelin, who played 21 minutes in the second half, had rebounds, five blocks and three assists.
The score between the two sides has become, the Warriors are already 15 points behind!
Ke Fan and Yang Yi in the imperial studio were so excited that they were speechless after learning that Wang Zelin scored 46 points in the first half alone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Miracles! Incredible miracles!"
"
"Congratulations, King, for breaking the record of 34 points in the first half of the playoffs set by Carter in the 21st century! Becoming the first person in the new century!
"
"This is Wang Zelin with full firepower! We have reason to believe that in this state, Wang Zelin in the second half is very likely to break the 63-point record for the highest score in a single playoff game held by basketball god Michael Jordan!"
The two of them screamed loudly in the studio, and it was already a mess outside.
Since 2000, there have been four people in NBA history who have scored more than 30 points in the first half of the playoffs: Vince Carter, Reggie Miller, Dwight Howard and Tony Parker.
The highest record is 34 points created by Carter.
Perhaps many people will be surprised that the names of super scorers such as Kobe, Iverson, James, and Durant are not included in this list.
But this is indeed true.
The last time an NBA player scored more than 30 points in the first half of a playoff game was "Warcraft" Howard.
As the only man who could replace James alone, on April 16, 2011, in the first round of the playoffs between the Magic and the Hawks, Peak Warcraft was unstoppable in the first half. He also made 11 free throws and 9 free throws like a god.
In this game, he scored 31 points and 8 rebounds.
It is a pity that the other four players in the module performed poorly at that time. Even though Howard had a super double-double in rebounds in 46 minutes of playing time, he still could not save the team's defeat. In the end, the Magic lost to four players in double figures.
eagle.
Of course, Wang Zelin does not want to repeat the tragedy of Warcraft, he is determined to win Tianwang Mountain!
