Kendou frowned and waved his hands pitifully: "I'm so tired!"
"Then let's find another way next time!"
"Bah! You big bad guy, don't think I don't know what you are talking about, just go ahead and dream!" Kendou picked up a soft pillow and knocked someone on the head!
"hey-hey!"
then……
Suddenly a strong wind blew outside the window, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and the air became more and more muggy. After a while, a thunder sounded, and heavy rain began to fall, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
After scoring twice, the exhausted Kendou hugged Wang Zelin and curled up in his arms like a kitten. The two hugged each other and slowly fell asleep.
…
…
Early the next morning, Wang Zelin looked at Ken Dou who was still sleeping and quietly crawled out of bed.
Today, they will have their first game after the All-Star Game. After breakfast, they began to prepare for the game.
After the preparations in the morning, I rested all afternoon. At 19:30 in the evening, the first game between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors after the All-Star Weekend started!
Before the game, good news came out from the Trail Blazers.
Nikola Jokic, who had been sidelined for a month due to injury on the 19th of last month, finally recovered and will play his first game back tonight.
So even if their opponent tonight, the Golden State Warriors, has a terrifying record of 49 wins and 4 losses, before the start of this game, the entire Trail Blazers team is united and must win this victory to pave the way for Jokic's comeback.
.
On the opening jump ball, Wang Zelin easily defeated Bogt, quickly launched a fast break, went to the basket, received Lillard's pass, and completed the opening dunk.
2:0, the Trail Blazers took the lead.
But the Warriors players, who had already lost a game to the Trail Blazers, obviously didn't want to hand over the fruits of victory again.
Warriors offense.
With the wonderful cooperation from the Splash Brothers, Curry held the ball and pretended to attack the frame. After attracting double-teams, he passed the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner. The latter made a three-pointer and scored for the team.
3:2, the Warriors took the lead.
In the next few rounds, both sides not only scored, but also attacked with attack. The rhythm on the court was extremely fast, which caught the audience off guard.
In less than three minutes, the two teams tied at 9:9.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Rose Garden Arena at this moment, people would have mistakenly thought they were at the All-Star Game.
The powerful dialogue between the two strongest teams currently not only made the fans enjoy watching it, but the players on the field were also particularly excited.
However, as the game progressed, the defensive intensity of both sides became higher and higher, and their body movements became larger and larger. The law of "the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage" was once again reflected.
Relying on his dominance under the basket, Wang Zelin worked frantically in the penalty area, forcing the Warriors' defense to shrink continuously. The pace of the game was gradually taken away by the Trail Blazers, and the Warriors' outside players' touch inevitably declined.
"boom!"
After the official timeout, Wang Zelin scored two points from the basket, and the Trail Blazers led the Warriors by 7 points at 30:23.
Although Curry and Green later hit three-pointers respectively, Lillard suddenly broke out and hit three-pointers in succession.
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers ended the quarter 42:31 with an 11-point lead.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides began a competition between substitute players. The Warriors obviously did not expect that Jokic, who had returned from injury, would be in such a hot state today.
Facing the inside combination of Kevin Looney and Marisse Speights sent by the Warriors, Jokic defeated the two of them on his own.
First, he contributed two big blocks on the defensive end, which were sent to first-year rookie Rooney and Barbosa who cut to the basket.
Then came the offensive end. After Jokic served the ball in the backcourt, he slowly came to the frontcourt, suddenly received a pass from Beverley, and fired from the outside and hit two points.
He performed the same drama twice in a row.
In less than two minutes, he scored 6 points, 2 blocks and 1 rebound, helping the team quickly build the lead to 18 points.
Beep~
In desperation, Warriors coach Cole had to call for a timeout and had no choice but to send the Splash Brothers to play in advance to stabilize the situation.
For the Trail Blazers, Coach Terry had already predicted this and quickly replaced Yi Jianlian and sent Wang Zelin to partner with Jokic to increase the threat inside.
At the same time, he also arranged for Lillard, Connett Lee, and Batum, the three most accurate three-pointers in the team, to always be ready to take shots from the outside.
After the timeout, the two sides sent out half main and half substitute lineups to compete again.
After the Warriors recovered, the Splash Brothers led a wave of 8:0 attacks, bringing the score to single digits.
Although the Trail Blazers' outside three-pointers were not as accurate as in the first quarter, after all, Wang Zelin was in charge inside, so offensive efficiency and production were guaranteed.
After half a quarter, the Trail Blazers still held a ten-point lead at 72:62.
Come back at halftime, change sides and fight again.
The game suddenly changed in the third quarter. The Trail Blazers' basket seemed to be blocked all of a sudden. The Warriors only made one of seven three-pointers in a single quarter, accompanied by a large number of mistakes.
Seeing this, Wang Zelin and his teammates seized the opportunity, scoring over 100 points in a single quarter and winning by 19 points after three quarters.
After three quarters, the score between the two sides reached 108:79, with the Trail Blazers leading by as much as 29 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Splash Brothers fired from outside, trying to regain their offensive touch and try to make a comeback.
However, the more impatient they are, the more time passes.
On the Trail Blazers side, Lillard's form has continued since his explosive burst in the second half of the first quarter.
After the first three quarters, he had scored a team-high 42 points, breaking his career record for scoring in the first three quarters of a single game.
At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, he was still in unbeatable form, shooting from inside and outside, and was completely stunned.
With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Warriors by 30 points, 119:89.
At this point, Cole had no choice but to replace the main lineup and declare surrender, and the game entered garbage time early.
After another two minutes, Lillard hit the 9th three-pointer of the game from the outside, expanding his personal score to 51 points. After successfully breaking his personal career scoring record, Coach Terry also replaced him.
Come down.
At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers scored 137:105 at home, killing the Warriors by 32 points.
The man of the match tonight undoubtedly belongs to Lillard!
In just 31 minutes of playing time, Lillard made 18 of 28 shots, with a shooting percentage of 64.3%, 9 of 12 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 75%, plus 6 of 7 free throws, with a shooting percentage of 85.7%.
, the true shooting percentage of the entire game was as high as 82%...
51 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 6 steals!
If I have to use one word to describe Lillard tonight, it can only be - God helps!
