Chapter 841 20 assists in three quarters, locking in the assists king!
In the first quarter, with the help of all his teammates, Lillard worked in various ways to organize the team's offense to the extreme, sending out 5 assists in a single quarter!
Among them, Wang Zelin, as the best brother with the most tacit understanding, helped Lillard score three times alone.
Boban, whom the Spurs sent tonight, is a 2.21-meter center, tied with the Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis for the highest altitude currently active!
Due to GDP, core players such as Leonard and Love did not play, the fans at the scene could only focus on the matchup between Wang Zelin and Boban.
However, Boban's performance was extremely disappointing. In a single quarter, he was dunked three times by Wang Zelin, and he also helped Wang Zelin get two blocks.
Seeing Boban's performance, many old fans couldn't help but sigh: Tianchao Yao is indeed a very talented person. At a height of over 2.21 meters, the Boban in front of him is at least two levels worse than him!
…
Rest between sessions.
"Greg, those young guys from the Trail Blazers are going to cause trouble tonight!"
The Spurs assistant coach reminded with some worry.
As we all know, the Spurs coaching staff is a magical team in the NBA. It produces future NBA team head coaches on a daily basis. It can be called the "Whampoa Military Academy" in the head coaching world!
As a member of the coaching team, this assistant coach has a keen understanding of the game. Looking at Lillard's performance of 5 assists in a single quarter, he immediately understood the Trail Blazers' intentions tonight.
"Don't worry about them, just do our best!"
How could the famous old fox Simavici not see what even an assistant coach could see, but he just frowned and his expression quickly returned to calmness.
Isn't it just used as a backdrop? It's not like I haven't done it before, so they are no different this time or twice.
After hearing what the boss said, the assistant teacher next to him lowered his head and put back his previous worries.
…
After the start of the second quarter, Lillard still stayed on the court, leading four substitute players against the Spurs' full substitute lineup.
In this quarter, the Spurs clearly took aim.
Although Simavic took a laissez-faire attitude towards Lillard's behavior of brushing up statistics, the Spurs players did not think so. It was for no reason, and it is estimated that not many people wanted to be the backdrop.
Therefore, the Spurs substitute players performed very fiercely in this quarter. Relying on their unwillingness to lose, they were evenly matched with the Trail Blazers on the court and even had the upper hand.
However, this plays right into Lillard's hands.
At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led their opponents by 16 points, 38 to 22. He was really worried that if they continued like this, the opponent might be defeated at halftime.
In this way, it's really hard to say that Lillard, who has always been proud and arrogant, can be like some players who can lower their face and continue to play to collect statistics.
Fortunately, the two sides tied at 35:30 in the second quarter, and the Spurs won by 5 points.
After halftime, 68:57, the score difference between the two sides was 11 points, no more, no less, just stuck in a suitable position.
Lillard played another full quarter, scoring 8 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, and 11 assists in 24 minutes in the half, setting a new half-time assist record in the history of the Trail Blazers.
At this time, even the slowest person can react.
I thought tonight would be a tepid contest, but I never thought that Lillard, who has always been thick-browed, honest, and honest, actually began to imitate one of his teammates in causing trouble on the court.
But...fans really like watching this!
Not only the fans, but also the media people on the sidelines became excited immediately after reacting. During the 15 minutes of halftime, they had already thought of the headlines for tomorrow's news cover.
"Shocked! In order to win the assists title, a certain player actually did such a thing!"
"Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Lillard also betrayed the revolution!"
Someone Wang: "I really blocked Q!"
…
At the same time, far away in Houston, the Sacramento Kings were also playing their last game of the regular season.
On April 15th, Rondo and Wiggins visited the Space City, only to encounter a modern combination that was on a rampage as they competed for the last playoff ticket in the Western Conference.
Due to schedule reasons, the game between the Kings and the Mosaics will be played earlier than the Trail Blazers.
At this time, the game in Space City has gone on for three quarters, and the Mosaic team leads the Kings by 28 points at home with a score of 92:64!
As one of the team's dual cores, Rondoron's performance tonight cannot be said to be explosive or explosive. It can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. After three quarters, he scored 8 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. If he still plays in the last quarter, he will get a
A double-double should be a piece of cake for him, and even a triple-double is possible!
During the break, the Kings' scouts who went to Portland to watch the game received news that Lillard had sent out 11 assists in the half.
That kid wants to win the assists title?!
After hearing the news, Rondo, Wiggins, and coach George Karl reacted immediately.
For Rondo, an overly smart player, George Karl, who is at the end of his coaching career, has long lost his previous fiery temper. The change in his personality has made the cooperation between him and Rondo quite enjoyable this season.
"Rajan, do you still want to play in the last quarter?"
The old man who originally planned to give up the last quarter of the game looked at Rondo who was deep in thought.
The underlying meaning is obvious: If you still want to compete for the assists king, I support it!
However, Rondo just shook his head and sighed: "No, let Andrew play in the last quarter. He is still young, and competing against a strong team like Mosaic will be conducive to his rapid growth."
Maybe it’s because he’s already won the assists title twice before, or maybe it’s because he struggled for a season but couldn’t even make the playoffs. Regarding the assists title this season, Rondo’s competitive mentality is not as competitive as Lillard’s.
He was so strong that he refused the coach's kindness.
"I see."
Seeing this, the old man nodded slightly, and then called Wiggins to his side to make arrangements for the last quarter of the game.

Portland.
Rose Garden Arena.
A terrible scene occurred on the field!
In the third quarter of the game, in order to ensure that Lillard could overtake Rondo, coach Terry made a big move and directly sent in the entire main lineup.
As for the opposite side, it is still a battle between shrimp, soldiers and crabs.
The strength gap in the lineup was clearly revealed in the third quarter.
Lillard continued to break through, and after attracting help from defense, he distributed the ball to his teammates.
His teammates are also very decisive in their shots. Once they receive a pass from Lillard, they will take action decisively as long as the opponent cannot block it.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In the audience in the row behind the Trail Blazers bench, the bald Hua, who was about to leave the game early after seeing the suspense of the game, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw what happened at the scene!
It's raining!
Trail Blazers players started a crazy three-point rainstorm in their own arena.
"my god! Ohgod!"
"Batum catches Damien's pass!"
"Take decisive action! Completely ignore the opponent's defense!"
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"He's in again!"
…
"Oh, damn!"
"The Spurs' defense was like nothing in front of them. Lillard almost turned the opponent into a sieve!"
"Fuck! You're crazy! They're all going crazy!"
"Another three points! They're in again!"
…
After the third quarter, the Trail Blazers scored an astonishing 42 points in this quarter.
Batum scored 4 three-pointers!
Patton scored 3 three-pointers!
Even Aldridge hit 2 three-pointers with crazy shots!
Wang Zelin's rebounds in the penalty area were so high that he collected 10 rebounds in a single quarter and 18 rebounds in three quarters.
Of course, the one who gained the most was Lillard himself, who dished out 9 assists in a single quarter.
After three quarters, he racked up 20 assists!
This performance allowed Lillard to tie the single-game record given by Rod Strickland in two games on behalf of the Trail Blazers against the Suns and Mosaic in the 1994-93 season and 95-96 season respectively.
20 assists, the best record in team history!
There is still one quarter left, which not only means that Lillard will break Strickland's historical record that has been held for more than 20 years, but also hopes to show the best record of 30 assists in a single game in history.
At the same time, during the break, Coach Terry also delivered good news to Lillard.
The game between the Kings and Mosaic has ended. The Kings finally defeated Mosaic 81:116 in the away game. Rondo didn't even upload in the last quarter. His personal data in the last game of the regular season was fixed at 8 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal!
This also means that even if Lillard does not play in the last quarter, he can still lock in the assists king this season with his performance of 20 assists in three quarters!
