Curry was gasping for air. Until now, he has always felt the huge pressure brought by the Trail Blazers. This pressure caused his breathing to be out of rhythm.
Patrick Beverley, that dark and thin guy is indeed better than he thought, at least he is better than he was in the Western Conference Finals last season.
That kind of defense in the second half is not something any defender can accomplish.
It is true that Beverley's personal ability is not outstanding among defenders, but he also has his own specialties.
If we only look at defense, Beverley is at least a second-defense player, and can even be said to be a top perimeter defender.
But Curry was not willing to be restricted by a dark and skinny second-round pick.
Not only him, but the rest of the Warriors will not accept such a result.
Especially Draymond Green and BoGt.
Before the start of this focus battle, Green and BoGt made harsh words in front of the media more than once, and no one from the Warriors team came out to defend them, which meant that everyone subconsciously agreed with what they said.
They don't want to be slapped in the face after the game.
So in this attack, after BoGte received the ball in the high post, he took the initiative to start singles and switched to guard Harrell.
But Harrell was already prepared. He let BoGt take two steps to prevent his breakthrough. Because BoGt has never been an excellent singles player, if the Warriors need to leave the last hurdle to this guy, then Terry
The coach will applaud it with both hands.
In the end, BoGt's sprint was blocked by Harrell, who took two steps back. Although BoGt was very powerful and had strong impact, after encountering Harrell, the latter's beastly side was also revealed.
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Who is afraid of whom?!
Although he was only a second-round pick and the guy opposite him was once the top pick in the draft, Harrell was not afraid at all.
Why is this guy actually the No. 1 pick? And he can still earn tens of millions of dollars in annual salary in the NBA?
Labor and management are dissatisfied!
Peng! Peng!
After failing to rush the frame continuously, BoGt was forced to stop the ball.
Seeing this situation, Curry simply stopped outside the three-point line. He shook his head. Did BoGt's offense pretend that No. 36 inside didn't exist?
Soon, Curry took the initiative to take over the ball, but BoGt wasted six or seven seconds of the time. The Warriors' offensive time was getting less and less.
In fact, even if you encounter a good-tempered boss like Curry, not to mention a certain No. 24 who does not want to be named, if you change to a more tough boss, you will see an ordinary BoG special zone who actually wants to handle key balls by himself.
, afraid of being sprayed to death!
After successfully receiving the ball, Curry took two steps back, put some distance between himself and Beverley, and prepared to sprint!
Curry's dribbling rhythm was fast and slow. There were several times when Beverley thought Curry was going to break through, but it was still a fake move.
Yes, Curry was indeed disgusted by Beverley's death-wrench defense tonight, but so was Beverley.
Defending an MVP-level giant like Curry gave Beverley a sense of powerlessness, because he felt that everything he did was under the control of his opponent.
At this moment, he finally understood what it felt like for the Warriors' insiders to be beaten by Wang Zelin one after another. This gap in physical strength made him feel terrible.
Left or right?
Beverley stared at Curry's shoulder nervously, completely ignoring the beads of sweat that kept sliding down his face.
When he was still guessing in which direction Curry would break through, Curry suddenly made a pull-up jumper one step away from the three-point line!
Curry's shooting was without warning, and a series of actions from dribbling to jump shots were done in one go.
Therefore, even Beverley, who has a keen defensive sense, did not predict Curry's movements at all, and his movement of reaching out to interfere was a beat too slow.
Seeing Curry easily hit Beverley's head, Coach Terry jumped up from his chair with excitement.
By repeatedly viewing many of the Warriors' game videos, he had a hunch that it was impossible for the Warriors No. 30 to miss this kind of ball.
"Shua——!"
"The ball went in! Stephen Curry hit his 10th three-pointer in the last 3.6 seconds of the game! This fatal three-pointer allowed the Golden State Warriors to lead the Trail Blazers by one point!"
"No, to be precise, this is a quasi-kill shot!
"
Van Gundy covered his head with his hands in disbelief and roared to his heart's content.
This is a superstar moment!
This is the ultimate display of personal heroism!
"Stephen Curry had an incredible performance tonight. Let's congratulate him for scoring a season-high 48 points!"
Weber on the side also took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his bald head. Wang Zelin indeed almost dominated the game tonight, but Curry's performance was also superb.
The key is that Curry hit a quasi-final shot that almost killed the game!
If the Warriors win tonight, all Wang Zelin's previous efforts will be in vain and become a stepping stone for Curry to embark on the road to becoming a god!
In the NBA, it’s always winner takes all!
Beep~~~
As expected, the Trail Blazers suspended the game at the end.
When Curry scored 48 points to help the Warriors take the lead, the fans in the audience cheered wildly.
Especially when the fans saw Curry taking the initiative to look at Wang Zelin from afar with his sharp eyes when he came off the court, the entire Oracle Arena was boiling again.
The king of Oracle Arena successfully ended this game!
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers, we are the strongest team this season!
Stephen Curry is the best candidate for regular season MVP!
Several fans were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and even fell into fainting, causing chaos at the scene. The security guards were so frightened that they quickly put on stretchers and carried the fainted fans out.
Trail Blazers bench.
"Sorry coach, it's all my fault, I couldn't guard Curry!"
After a moment, Beverley said dejectedly, he had already scored 25 points by No. 30 in the second half today. This score can be said to be completely beaten. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was beaten.
Although the Warriors had more points, No. 11 Thomson only scored 22 points, which seems like a lot, but it also depends on who he is competing with and how many points he scores.
Curry alone scored nearly 50 points tonight, accounting for almost half of the Warriors' total points!
Although the 23 points in the first half had little to do with Beverley, after all, he was not assigned to defend at that time, the 25 points in the second half were actually scored on his head.
This is undoubtedly a major blow to a top perimeter defender known for his defense.
Coach Terry patted Beverley on the shoulder without any intention of blaming him. Then he looked at the Blazers and said, "Why are you all lowering your heads? Lift them up. The game is not over yet! There is still time left.
3.6 seconds, we have one last attack, right?"
"Wang, I'll leave the last attack to you, okay?" Before Wang Zelin could answer, Coach Terry took out the tactical board from behind and continued:
"Damien, LaMarcus, you have rested for such a long time, it is time for you to play. If Wang is double-teamed and does not have a chance, no matter who gets the chance, you two must take action decisively as soon as possible.
!”
Brush! Brush! Brush!
Time was limited, so Coach Terry used the tactical pen in his hand to draw on the tactical board, and quickly arranged the tactics for players and players to move and catch the ball in the last 3.6 seconds.
The Trail Blazers' final offensive lineup: Lillard, Connett Lee, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin!
All five of them have a sufficient range of shooting threats, so the Warriors dare not miss any of them easily.
As for player movement, Lillard is responsible for the starting line, Batum and Connett Lee are in the bottom corners on both sides, one is responsible for cutting from the bottom line, and the other is moving in the bottom corner. Their tasks are mainly to attack and contain.
Wang Zelin and Aldridge were on the firing line, covering Batum and Connett Lee's movements while waiting for opportunities to catch the ball.
After everything is settled, after the timeout, the Trail Blazers have the ball.
Frontline ball.
Lillard always pays attention to the movements of his teammates on the sidelines, and his first focus is Wang Zelin.
As expected, Warriors coach Kerr paid great attention to Wang Zelin. BoGt almost clung to Wang Zelin, followed by Yingodala. The two of them sandwiched Wang Zelin one after another, denying him a chance to catch the ball.
.
If Plan A doesn't work, then Plan B is the only option.
At this time, on the other side of the court, Connet Lee quietly used Aldridge's screen to run out of position, and when he was about to reach the basket, Lillard passed the ball.
Cole quickly noticed this and hurriedly shouted at Yingodala: "Pay attention to No. 20! Get back to the basket! Quick!"
"Snapped!"
Connet Lee still successfully received the pass and was about to take action when the figure of Warriors No. 9 came quickly.
History has proven more than once that the Coffin Mamba is quite reliable at critical moments. Even before Cole yelled, he decisively dropped Wang Zelin and dived to the basket to immediately put pressure on the defense.
On the other side, when Coach Terry saw the actions of Warriors No. 6, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Because Connet Lee is just a sheep attack point, and the real main attack point has never changed.
Young man, you are still a little young in front of me.
On the court, facing Yingodala who rushed towards him, Connet Lee did not panic and passed the ball out in the last 2.4 seconds.
"Snapped!"
The ball returned to that familiar figure.
That damn Blazer No. 36!
Oops, I was scammed!
When Cole saw this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
But fortunately, only Yingodala was gone, BoGt was still sticking tightly to Wang Zelin, and the defensive pressure was still considerable.
"Snapped!"
When Wang Zelin received the ball, there was only the last second left, but it was enough for him to take action.
However, the moment Wang Zelin took action, BoGt had already covered his entire field of vision. At the same time, his other hand was still on his jersey, secretly pulling hard.
This shot is difficult!
Under the basket, Aldridge tried his best to get stuck. He knew that Wang Zelin's shot basically meant the game was over, but he understood that the shot was too difficult and was still ready to make a tip-in.
Connett Lee, Batum, Curry, and Thompson also all moved toward the basket.
This will be a key goal that determines the outcome of the game. No one dares to relax until the dust settles.
Wang Zelin raised the arc of his tentacles in the air, looking past BoGte's fingertips, and the basketball flew out, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.
The jam under the basket has also become fierce. Even when the ball flies to the highest point, the red light on the edge of the backboard, symbolizing the end of the game, still lights up...
"Whoosh!"
There was no suspense, no luck at all. Wang Zelin's high difficulty gained two points. The winner did not hesitate to use the underhanded BoG special, and fell hollowly into the Warriors' net.
Again!
Wang Zelin personally drove Oracle Arena from heaven to hell.
The moment the ball was scored, the entire audience was silent.
The fans covered their faces, held their heads, and stared, all in disbelief.
How warm the cheers were in front of me, but how cold my mood is now!
"Fuck Fuck!"
After Green, who was at the end of the bench, reacted, he immediately cursed.
Is No. 36 on the other side going to be so outrageous?
It seems that no matter how difficult the key shot is, he can make it!
Wang Zelin also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. To be honest, BoGt's defense put a lot of pressure on him in that ball just now. He thought about hitting the buzzer-beater, but he didn't expect it to be so clean.
However, once you get in, you get in!
And if it were an ordinary person, BoG's last defense would have been two-pronged, so his mentality would inevitably be affected, and he might take action in a hurry.
But Wang Zelin's mentality was very stable. He didn't make any adjustments except slightly increasing the arc of his shot.
A big heart is a kind of ability!
In the last 3.6 seconds, under Coach Terry's ingenious arrangements, Wang Zelin received a second pass from Terry Kang and hit the buzzer-beater!
The moment the ball hit the ground, the Trail Blazers players rushed onto the court like crazy.
Wang Zelin hugged Aldridge closely, then two, three, four...
A large number of teammates all rushed to Wang Zelin's side, and Beverley and Harrell jumped directly on him and shouted.
Lillard smiled in front of the camera for the first time tonight. He has been on the bench since the end of the first half and did not get the chance to play again until the last attack.
No one can tell what kind of pressure this proud man is carrying in his heart.
Fortunately, they still won!
Batum and Button put their arms around each other and waved to the female fans who remained on the sidelines.
Coach Terry looked at the wildly celebrating team members on the field. He quietly stopped in the middle of the rush, with a bright aunt smile on his face. He turned his head and secretly glanced at the data on the technical stage, and resisted the urge to sing loudly.
The impulse of music.
Chief assistant David Vanderpool and development assistant Qiaoyin Youm were running around the field, looking like two children weighing more than 200 pounds.
…
Blocked shots, 9 assists and 2 steals!
When Wang Zelin's data was displayed on the large LED screen, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
What kind of data is this!
60 triple double!
Accurate four pairs!
It's a pity, only one assist is missing.
However, Wang Zelin didn't pay too much attention to this god-level data. What he cared about most at the moment was the expressions of the Warriors players on the opposite bench.
Finally, he looked at the Warriors bench, a heartbroken Green and a certain dog.
Wang Zelin finally burst out laughing happily. It seems that the Warriors were in great pain after being repaired by him today!
