With one minute left in the game, the two sides remained tied.
The Bulls began to decline due to their physical decline. Davis failed to hit the rebound inside. Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack. He succeeded in a one-stop dunk. His personal score for this game reached 48 points, only less than Davis.
one cent.
"This kid is a monster!"
Seeing that Wang Zelin was still able to dunk in overtime without any signs of physical decline, Bulls coach Huo Yinberg had a headache.
In comparison, Davis' handling of the last ball seemed a bit impatient, and the Bulls were in danger.
Fortunately, Rose's position was not messed up. After receiving the ball in the backcourt, he suddenly launched a fast break, catching Lillard off guard and driving all the way to the basket. Facing Wang Zelin's block, he showed his super ability to stay in the air, and his body was like a ball.
He dodged the block like a twist and scored the ball.
The referee blew the whistle, signaling 2 1. Rose stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and hit the extra free throw. The Bulls overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point.
With only 11 seconds left, the Trail Blazers called another timeout. This was their last timeout.
Coach Terry is preparing to make tactical arrangements for the final attack.
Returning to the bench, Wang Zelin took the towel from Jokic and casually wiped the sweat on his face. Then he raised his head and realized that everyone was looking at him.
Coach Terry came over, patted Wang Zelin's shoulder gently, and said seriously: "Wang, whether we win or lose, it's up to you!"
The implication is obvious, Wang Zelin will handle the winning goal next.
Not everyone can do this kind of thing. In addition to superb skills, it also requires a big heart.
Even when facing the tightest defense and the scariest defender, a big heart can help you finish the shot calmly.
Obviously, Wang Zelin is the most qualified person in the team to score the winning goal.
At the same time, this is also the responsibility that a boss should have!
…
Soon, after the timeout, the players entered the field one after another, and almost all the fans stood up. This attack was really crucial.
Whether they continue their winning streak or get upset depends on this goal.
Lillard holds the ball in the backcourt and quickly advances forward.
At this time, they not only have to score, but they also have to be fast enough.
Aldridge and Wang Zelin are both setting pick-and-roll screens on the outside. Are they planning to get a three-pointer?
On the other side, Princess coach Huo Yinberg also stood up and watched the attack nervously.
The Bulls did not dare to foul easily. As time passed by, the Trail Blazers' chances disappeared little by little.
In the last 4 seconds, Wang Zelin made a move. He took the initiative to ask for the ball to cut inside. This was the true tactical arrangement of the Trail Blazers.
But Davis also quickly jumped out from the basket. Seeing that Wang Zelin was about to take action, he hurriedly jumped to block the shot.
At this moment, Wang Zelin took the ball back, and when Davis reached the highest point, he took the shot calmly.
"All!"
The basketball flew out from near the free throw line, and an electronic buzzer sounded in mid-air. The final time was up, and everyone was looking at the ball.
"Pah, pah... swish!"
The ball clicked once, twice, and finally into the basket. The Blazers went ahead by 1 point and won the game.
"A buzzer beater! A buzzer beater from Wang! He killed the game! Killed the Chicagoans! He is a hero in Portland!
"
The on-site commentator couldn't help but stand up, raise his arms and shout, venting his emotions.
The Trail Blazers bench was in a frenzy.
The players on the field were so excited that they danced.
Won!
we won!
…
Lost?
I lost again!
Davis sat on the ground with dull eyes, a lonely look on his face, and a heart full of unwillingness. He had obviously worked so hard and was just a little bit away from victory...
Just then, a familiar big hand appeared in front of me.
"Get up, AD, you played very well today, but you were just a bit unlucky."
Davis smiled bitterly, then took Wang Zelin's hand and stood up.
But just now, it was the owner of this hand who sent him and the bull from heaven to hell...
He understood very well that losing was not a matter of luck at all, it was simply because he simply couldn't beat Wang Zelin.
Alas, that's it, it's just a game. If you lose, you lose. You can just get it back next time.
"Congratulations! I am convinced that I lost tonight! But next time it won't be that simple."
After thinking about it, Davis forced a smile on his face. After hugging Wang Zelin, he turned around and followed his teammates and left the Rose Garden Arena.
This wonderful game made the fans excited to watch, and the friendly hug between Wang Zelin and Davis after the game also demonstrated what true sportsmanship is.
After the game, Wang Zelin and Coach Terry attended the team's press conference together.
Wang Zelin had 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals in this game.
"AD is an admirable opponent, and the Bulls are a tenacious team. It is precisely because of such an opponent that this great game tonight was possible. I look forward to the next match against them!"
"Of course, my teammates and I performed very well. I am full of confidence in the team now. We are more confident than ever!"
In front of the media, Wang Zelin was in a good mood and highly praised Davis. At the same time, he also did not forget to praise his teammates.
But this time he was completely fine with his praise.
Davis scored 5 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 assists tonight, a number that is enough to become a god.
Great opponents make great games. Tonight's crazy scoring battle between Wang Zelin and Davis will become one of the classic battles in the NBA.
There is a feeling of sympathy between heroes between Wang Zelin and Davis.
Overall, this game was almost a happy one from the process to the ending.
The Bulls lost, but it was not unacceptable; the Trail Blazers won and played very excitingly.
After attending the press conference, when Wang Zelin returned to the locker room, there was another burst of crazy celebrations.
at the same time.
The Warriors defeated the Jazz on the road tonight. Thanks to the help of the team, Green scored 20 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds, almost a triple-double. After hearing that the Trail Blazers were almost upset by the Bulls, Green was being interviewed by reporters.
He looked disdainful.
"The Chicago Bulls almost overthrew the Trail Blazers. With all due respect, is this really a team that has won two consecutive championships? This is too inferior!"
"People in Chicago don't need to be too sad. In 5 days, we will help you take revenge for free and let the Blazers taste defeat..."
Green didn't notice at all that Curry, who was sitting next to him, had frowned. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Green's remarks that he did not respect his opponent.
It's okay to talk about this kind of thing in private, but it would be too tasteless to say it on the table.
But in order to take Green's face into consideration, Curry was reluctant to say anything at the press conference and planned to communicate with Green after he returned.
During the subsequent interview, Curry remained expressionless throughout.
