Chapter 870 Big hat at the beginning, this is unreasonable
The game then started, and the scene entered the entry stage of the home and away teams.
Players from the visiting team played first, and the Trail Blazers did not adjust their lineup. When Wang Zelin was the last one to step onto the floor of the Staples Center, there was a huge boo.
Generally speaking, unless they encounter their old enemy the Celtics, Zijin fans who consider themselves noble will usually not make such noise at home. In their view, this is more like an act of showing weakness to their opponents.
As long as it is strong enough, no matter who the away opponent is, the Purple and Gold Army can kill them.
However, tonight's opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers, who swept them in the playoffs two years ago. The Lakers still trailed the Trail Blazers 0-2. In this case, it is difficult for Zijin fans to maintain their so-called
So noble and majestic.
Then the home team entered and the roster was adjusted. Ryan Kelly replaced Hibbert and was responsible for facing off against Wang Zelin tonight.
Even though this guy is 2.11 meters tall, he is a very capable inside man and weighs only 105 kilograms. If the Lakers dare to let him play against Wang Zelin, he seems to be well prepared to lose rebounds.
But then again, even the former center Hibbert still missed rebounds when facing Wang Zelin, and the effect was not much better.
Considering that Ryan Kelly has a certain three-point ability, Coach Terry quickly realized that this guy's uploading role should be to open up space for Paul and Kobe.
At this time, during the DJ introduction at the home court, Kobe, who was the last one to appear, made the cheers at the venue frighteningly high.
Kobe felt the enthusiasm of the fans and waved. Judging from the feedback from the fans, he is indeed the most popular king in Los Angeles!
The opening ceremony before the game ended and players from both sides appeared one after another.
Wang Zelin easily beat Ryan Kelly and gave the Trail Blazers the opportunity to take the lead.
When he reached the frontcourt, his teammates pulled away and Wang Zelin held the ball in the low post to attack.
The Trail Blazers' style of play has not changed much from the first two games. Wang Zelin is in such excellent form. Whether it is the coaching staff, teammates, or Trail Blazers fans, they are all looking forward to Wang Zelin scoring in three consecutive playoff games.
50 great records.
Shuangba stood outside the three-point line on both sides, Aldridge crouched in the left corner, Lillard gave the ball and restrained Paul at the top of the arc, and the Lakers' double team could not get out.
Wang Zelin swayed outside the penalty area and then took a step forward to make an emergency stop. He raised his hand to feint for a layup. After tapping Ryan Kelly away, he turned around and immediately exploded.
"boom!"
He was in very good condition and scored easily in the first attack.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that the defender was too impetuous tonight. After all, Ryan Kelly is a bit green and is far less experienced than Hibbert.
"Back to defense! Back to defense!"
After landing, Wang Zelin was not interested in ridiculing his fragile opponent. He yelled at his teammates and retreated quickly.
"Back to defense! Back to defense!"
The three to four thousand Blazers fans present and some Chinese fans who came to support Wang Zelin quickly stood up to respond to Wang Zelin.
It was just the beginning, and the Trail Blazers, led by Wang Zelin, almost took over the championship. If the larger Lakers fans hadn't reacted in time and covered the front with cheers, the scene might have been more interesting.
Lillard followed Paul from the backcourt, giving him no chance to dribble easily.
Halfway through the attack time, the Lakers still had no chance to score.
The Trail Blazers' defensive pressure today was even better than in the previous two games. They really wanted to win this game and directly sweep the Lakers to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
When Paul saw that the tactics were not working, he quickly signaled his teammates to pull away and passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe glanced behind him and showed no help, turned his back to the frame, and began to sit down and fight.
Button lowered his center of gravity and raised his body. Although he was still a little unable to withstand it, Kobe was also feeling uncomfortable playing.
After two consecutive games of violent output, Kobe's physical fitness could not recover so quickly, but in order to defend the home court, the Black Mamba also worked hard.
He worked hard to get to the low post and turned towards the baseline for a layup.
Kobe's waist is really good, he jumped up and then glided for a layup.
"Bang!"
The UFO suddenly attacked and slapped Kobe's shot onto the backboard.
A nail-biting hat!
Looking up, the person coming was none other than Trail Blazer No. 36 - Wang Zelin.
Ryan Kelly has quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and shot with a hook.
Oh, it’s quite beautiful to think about it at such a young age!
At this time, Wang Zelin once again showed his powerful ability to move around the basket. He could turn around at a speed comparable to that of a top guard. He instantly launched into the air and sent out another super big shot.
This time the ball flew directly out of the court!
The consecutive big hits at the beginning made Wang Zelin roar to the sky with excitement!
Immediately afterwards, there were roars from the Trail Blazers bench.
What about Staples?
What about the Purple and Gold?
We, the Trail Blazers, are fighting against you, and those we are fighting against are the elites!
The Lakers were finally defended by the Trail Blazers for 24 seconds. The emotions of the Trail Blazers fans and Chinese fans in the stands were completely high.
Including Jay Chou, "black" Chen Jianzhou, who has gradually become a national goddess because of a variety show, and other stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, they also turned into loyal fans at this moment and screamed regardless of their image.
"My God, this shot-blocking ability is too exaggerated! This, this, this... he blocked two shots at once, who can withstand this!" Barkley shouted excitedly.
"Wang's dominance in this series is too strong. He is omnipotent on the offensive end and everywhere on the defensive end. It is a nightmare to play against such a guy!" Kenny Smith said.
The Trail Blazers attacked, and Wang Zelink got stuck in the low post, preparing to catch the ball.
"You have to send someone to double-team Zelin this time, right? Otherwise it would be too unreasonable." Zhang Lili said with a solemn expression.
"Three, Kobe let Barton go, Gasol also went in, and used a defensive approach to target the king..." Yu Jia couldn't hide his excitement and roared out.
Seeing that the Lakers were so frantic, and if they didn't come, they would be there, and if they came, there would be three of them, Lillard looked to the left.
At this time, Aldridge quickly followed up, and outside the paint area, Lillard passed the ball.
Now that the ball is in Aldridge's hands, Gasol's forward defense is meaningless, and he immediately returns to defend Aldridge.
At the next moment, Wang Zelin used his faster movement to the basket to jam Ryan Kelly, and then Aldridge passed the ball in.
The moment he caught the ball, Wang Zelin dribbled with his back arched.
Ryan Kelly tried his best to push the ball, but he did not retreat to the reasonable collision area in the first time, providing an opportunity for Kobe Bryant to double-team.
But at this time, Wang Zelin once again showed terrifying speed that did not match his height.
With a super-fast turn comparable to that of a defender, he turned left in an instant, dodged Kobe's cut ball, and went around to the space between Ryan Kelly and the basket.
However, it did not rise as quickly as possible. Instead, it waited for Ryan Kelly to adjust his pace and enter a reasonable collision zone before rising up. He successfully dunked the opponent and also caused a blocking foul.
Of course, he was disappointed.
The expected whistle did not sound, and the referee only made an effective offensive gesture.
He was sure that Ryan Kelly stepped on the surf line in the river and did not take off. This kind of ball is a must-call.
There are only two possibilities for the referee not to make a penalty, either his vision was blocked and he did not see it, or he turned a blind eye on purpose.
The first one was great, and the second guess came true... Then he had to be more vigilant.
"Is this penalty unreasonable? The ball just now was fouled..."
On the commentary stage, Zhang Lili saw this scene on the court and couldn't help but say a classic mantra.
