The Trail Blazers attacked the frontcourt. After Lillard and Wang Zelin started a pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin made a beautiful reverse run and got rid of Ryan Kelly's defense. Lillard scored an even more beautiful lob.
"boom!"
When the ball arrived, Wang Zelin caught the ball in the air, glided and dunked the ball into the basket!
The Trail Blazers played a beautiful combination at the beginning and easily disintegrated the Lakers' defense.
O'Neal looked at Kenny Smith with a smile.
Look, I believe that I am right. Just win by overwhelming Wang Zelin without any brains.
"oh!"
Just as he finished laughing, Derrick Williams' breakthrough layup was killed by Wang Zelin with a nail board.
The Trail Blazers counterattacked, and Wang Zelin turned his head and found Batum, who was running crazy fast, and made a long pass like a quarterback.
"Whoosh!"
Batum in the frontcourt received Wang Zelin's long pass and hit a three-pointer.
Wang Zelin's long pass was just right, Batum's shot was very decisive, and the rhythm of the shot looked great and full of beauty.
O'Neal's grin became even brighter. He looked at Smith with an expression that seemed to say, is this what you said about finding a way to deal with Wang Zelin?
Come on, let me give you a chance to reorganize your language.
In the Lakers' offense, Kobe made a pull-up after receiving a pass from Paul.
Button was chasing behind him, and Kobe had to adjust his angle during the confrontation, making the shot more difficult.
"Duang!"
Kobe's first attack was solid.
Under the basket, four big men stared at the backboard in the air.
In the end, Wang Zelin was the better one, overwhelming everyone to grab the rebound, and then turned his head and made another long pass.
This time it was Patton's turn to perform. After receiving the ball at the top of the three-point arc, he took two steps into the air and performed an extremely exaggerated tomahawk dunk.
"boom!"
7:0!
"The Trail Blazers started off very hot tonight!" Barkley exclaimed in the commentary box.
This is the intensity of the second round of the playoffs, and the Lakers' defense is not bad. It is really rare for the Trail Blazers to make consecutive hits.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe's jump shot from the free throw line missed.
The Black Mamba scored two consecutive goals in the opening game, which made many people smell something different.
It seems that the Black Mamba is no match for Father Time after all. His body is about to be unable to withstand the load output of several consecutive games.
Wang Zelin protected the rebound. This time the Lakers retreated very quickly and gave him no chance to pass the ball long.
Attack the frontcourt and fall into positional warfare.
Wang Zelin played inside and chose to play from behind. He used his hip force to suppress Ryan Kelly's defensive focus and turned around to shoot with a hook.
This back-up attack was a textbook one. Ryan Kelly's defensive focus was completely lost and he was completely unable to take off.
"Whoosh!"
Then, Wang Zelin's one-on-one sky hook hit the ball into the basket!
The Lakers' weak inside line has once again become his background!
9:0!
The Trail Blazers went crazy as soon as they came up, no matter how hard they fought!
Walton Jr. couldn't sit still on the sidelines at this time, so he got up and came to the side to call a timeout.
After going on a 9:0 run, the Lakers were a little confused. They obviously hadn't done anything yet, but the Trail Blazers were so wild. Among the five players, only Lillard and Aldridge were missing.
It's open to meat.
After the timeout, the Lakers adjusted their defensive strategy and began to target Wang Zelin frantically at the basket.
But this played exactly into Wang Zelin's favour.
In the Lakers' offense, Paul stepped in after a pick-and-roll, made a sudden stop during the confrontation, and scored the ball with difficulty.
The shot was a bit reluctant, but no matter what, the Lakers finally opened the scoring tonight.
2:9!
The Trail Blazers attacked. Wang Zelin received the ball in the low post and continued to play from behind. After being flanked, he played the ball to the outside. Lillard received the pass from Wang Zelin and faced Kobe's defense and scored!
12:2, less than 3 minutes into the game, the Trail Blazers established a double-digit lead, and the efficiency was staggering.
"What did I say? What did I say!" O'Neal was so excited that he danced in the commentary box.
In fact, he didn't know why the Trail Blazers played so fiercely, but the Blazers' wild start just proved the rationality of his mindless team choice.
Why choose Joe if you have Joe, but choose Shark if you don't have Joe?
That's all bullshit. With the great Shaq, there is always only one choice, and that is Trail Blazers No. 36 ~ Wang Zelin!
Smith was also a little depressed at this time. This is really illogical!
I completely couldn’t understand how the Lakers’ offense suddenly shrunk so suddenly, while the opposite Trail Blazers were just the opposite of the Lakers. They suddenly fell into a mess and scored on 5 consecutive shots!
Isn’t it scientific?
I seriously request the Trail Blazers players to take urine tests after the game.
Back on the court, the Lakers attack.
Seeing that Kobe looked like a blacksmith tonight, Paul could only choose to go it alone.
Not to mention, Paul's ability to play small and big is really good. After the pick-and-roll, Aldridge, who switched defenses, stepped back and made a mid-range shot after continuous testing.
However, if the Lakers don't score, it makes no difference to the current Trail Blazers. When Paul shot, Wang Zelin received the ball from the basket and immediately picked up the ball and exited the baseline, aiming in a certain direction in the frontcourt, and fired another shot
Long pass throughout the field.
In the left corner of the frontcourt, Batum received the ball and was about to take action when he looked up and saw an angry Black Mamba coming towards him, looking like he was about to eat him up.
Just in this sudden move, his chance to strike was completely lost.
But fortunately, Kobe is the only Laker who can react quickly enough and return to defense in time. Others are not as quick as him.
At this time, Aldridge, who was positioned early, had already rushed to the three-point line, and the Lakers basket was empty.
Batum smiled and threw an alley-oop. Aldridge, who was counterattacking, saw this and leaped into the air. He dunked with both hands and scored two points.
14:4!
This time, all the top five players on the Trail Blazers team were on the offensive.
The fans on the sidelines are going crazy!
Little Wharton just sat back in the chair and felt his butt itching again, and he almost got up and called for a timeout.
At the critical moment, the Black Mamba finally recovered and stepped forward for the Lakers, attacking the basket and causing Aldridge to foul the ball.
Swish! Swish!
He made two free throws and finally broke the scoring drought.
The fans at the scene started cheering.
But just a moment later, Batum received a pass from Lillard in the frontcourt and made a three-pointer!
17:6!
The Trail Blazers made all 7 of their opening shots!
And the scoring is not just dependent on one person, but all five people on the team can score, which is scary.
Gasol made a face-to-face mid-range shot in the frontcourt, and the Big Three of the Lakers all fired. Looking back, Batum's third three-point shot in a single quarter finally missed.
The Lakers fans at the scene often breathed a sigh of relief. You tnd are really strong. If you score another one...
But immediately, Wang Zelin flew to tip in the ball and put it in!
At this moment, all the Lakers fans at the scene were finally broken, and they couldn't help but let out howls.
Damn it, the Trail Blazers were in great shape tonight, every one of them seemed to be cheating.
