NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 650 A 20-point lead in the first quarter of the playoffs!
The Clippers sent a sideline ball, and Redick received the ball from the outside and made a three-point shot.
Wang Zelin received the rebound and the Blazers approached quickly.
In this ball, Lillard used the threat of pick-and-roll and breakthrough to throw Rivers away, and Redick immediately stuck in front of him, but it was useless.
Because the ball is no longer in his hands.
After receiving a return pass from a high position, Wang Zelin took aim a little, and raised his hand to hit a half basket.
6:2, the Blazers quickly retreated.
When the Clippers attacked again, they failed to score in two consecutive rounds. The Clippers players who lacked Paul to control the overall situation became impatient to the naked eye.
Little Rivers dribbled the ball forward, and as soon as he got to the frontcourt, Griffin's three-point line reached out to him for the ball.
Forget about the pain so soon?
Seeing this scene, Wang Zelin was instantly happy.
However, after seeing Griffin enjoying silky ball control, he had to admit that Griffin is not only talented but also a hard-working player.
His own 82-rated ball-handling is achieved by hanging up, but as a power forward, Griffin's ball-handling ability has reached an exaggerated 84-rating.
The last power forward who could have this kind of control was the former "left-handed magician" Odangdang.
but……
"Snapped!"
Another cover.
Griffin's breakthrough made a layup, but this time it was destroyed by Wang Zelin, who flanked, and grabbed the ball abruptly in the air.
Admiration is admiration, the game is the game.
Since he is an opponent, he naturally has to do his best to greet Griffin well.
"My God! God, what did I see! What did I see?!"
"Poor Griffin, let us feel sorry for him for a second!"
"Two consecutive big caps, this one is more bloody, Wang directly grabbed Griffin's layup in the air!"
When Wang Zelin grabbed a hat angrily, after a brief silence, the scene seemed to have suddenly ignited a dynamite keg.
There was a huge burst of cheers and screams in the Rose Garden Center Arena.
After landing, Wang Zelin made a long-range pass and locked the attacking arrow Batum at the front. The latter received the ball and rushed to the basket. After two steps, he took the ball and threw the ball into the basket.
8:2! The Blazers have been slowly pulling away from the start of the game.
However, after the big Rivers paused and hurriedly poured a cup of chicken soup, the Clippers' offense became orderly, and after some patient moves, JJ Redick broke the scoring drought and hit the first three-pointer of the night.
At 8:5, the Clippers regained some face on the offensive end.
Offensive and defensive transitions, the Blazers' offense, continued with Lillard's pick-and-roll tactics. Wang Zelin made a back run and cut to the basket. Facing the two defenses of Jordan and Griffin, he passed the ball from behind in the air and handed it over to Aldridge for an easy layup.
After the goal, the Blazers retreated very quickly, and the Clippers could only fall into a positional battle.
Jordan wouldn't play if he was three seconds away, so Wang Zelin's defensive focus was always on Griffin. Griffin may also understand this. The low-post singles are just sheep attacks. Outside the three-second zone on the left, false Send the fax to Barnes, who has a little space on the bottom line on the left.
But Barnes is obviously far worse than Redick in terms of his offensive stability of catch and shot and his ability to shoot three-pointers. He shoots out of the basket.
The Clippers, who had learned a few lessons before, retreated at an astonishing speed this time, and did not give the Blazers a chance to break fast.
into positional warfare.
Wang Zelin still did not continue to be in the low position. In the absence of Paul tonight, he chose to play pick-and-roll tactics with Lillard. This is the more inexplicable and easier way to play against the Clippers.
And as a result, Jordan's situation is very embarrassing. If he doesn't follow, it's very likely that Wang Zelin's hand will be a blow; but if he follows, the Clippers' inside defense will be completely lost.
What's worse is that if Lillard is switched to guard, then Jordan's face is estimated to be even darker.
You know, even in the later small-ball era of the prosperous point guard, and still under the double-team of Curry, Westbrook, Paul and many other strongmen, Lillard still grabbed a place, not only was selected as an All-Star, but also Selected for a while!
In addition to singles, Lillard's main offensive methods include various pick-and-roll attacks with his teammates, including quick three-point shots after the pick-and-roll, and dislocation 1vs1 small fights.
In the next few offensive rounds of the Blazers, Wang Zelin was wholeheartedly willing to be a green leaf, and his style of play changed back to the high-post beacon mode when he played the Princeton system last season. As long as his teammates had a chance, he would hand over the ball as soon as possible.
In the playoffs, being able to score and win is king. He doesn't care what the team's scoring champion is!
Moreover, even if Wang Zelin is a threat point to contain the defense, he actually has a lot of scoring opportunities.
After all, the main force of the Blazers has not changed in the past three years. Through three seasons of various tactical movement training, as well as the actual running-in with teammates on the court, once Wang Zelin mentioned the high position to take the ball to support, he was empty to deal with the inside line. , Blazers, all other main players have shooting, passing, and defense, and they are easy to play threats.
When his teammates made threats, the opponent's defensive focus on Wang Zelin would naturally drop. At that time, if he played a few 1vs1s occasionally, he could still maintain a high offensive efficiency.
Especially against a team like the Clippers, which has plenty of defensive enthusiasm but doesn't have a good defensive system.
On weekdays, the Clippers rely on Paul on the outside, Jordan on the inside, and the tough guy Barnes on the flank. The remaining two are basically undefended, and Redick is even more black hole level.
But the problem is that in the face of the top teams that are also at the championship level, Paul is limited by his height and a defensive title, but he often cannot limit the offensive guard in the same position;
Jordan's defense is more dependent on talent, relying on running and jumping ability to help defend the top, and the frame protection is also top, but the single defense ability can only be said to be good, not even excellent. In the 1vs1 single defense, there are too many. There are more scenes of jumping in a flash.
As for Barnes, it can only be said that he was unlucky. When he met this small former prosperous world, whenever he encountered a top small forward, he couldn't do anything except tough.
Therefore, the Clippers in the original history actually had the hope of winning the championship in the three seasons of 2013, 2014 and 2015. After all, the lineup was there, and even at that time, there were not many teams in the entire league that could match the Clippers' lineup. .
Coached by the champion coach Rivers, the main lineup includes three best team members, Paul, Griffin, and Jordan, who can attack and defend.
In addition to the three-point shooter Redick, the defensive tough guy Barnes, and Jamal Crawford, one of the strongest super 6s in history, sitting on the bench, Rivers and Nate are also good bench bandits.
But they have been unable to reach the summit for a long time. On the one hand, it is due to off-court factors, injuries, luck and other messy reasons. There is also a key reason that the Clippers have not been able to do it in either offense or defense. Extremely.
Balance, but sometimes it is a shackle!
So much so that they missed the last shiver every time.
...
When the first quarter hit the official timeout, Wang Zelin easily scored 8 points and 3 assists, Lillard scored 7 points and 2 assists, and Aldridge, Batum, and Matthews also scored 4 and 4 points respectively. , 2 points into the account.
The Blazers scored 25 points in 7 minutes, and the offensive efficiency is very exaggerated!
On the Clippers side, they only scored 10 points in more than half a quarter!
Fans who have been watching the excitement, when they saw that the official suspension is a big score magnified on the screen, only to find that the difference between the two teams is as much as 15 points!
Is this really a second-round playoff team?
Even if there is one less Chris Paul, the flash will not be so casual, right?
Or, because the pioneers are too strong!
It was 15 points behind before the first quarter was over, and it was still the playoffs!
That's pretty cool!
I don't know if Rivers was calm, or was beaten stupidly, but he just didn't call a timeout, so both sides hit the official timeout.
After returning to the bench.
The head coaches of both sides made rapid personnel adjustments.
Originally, Wang Zelin thought that the coach would let them rest for a while before playing, but he didn't think the coach's heart was bigger than him.
"You guys will go on the court later. If you don't lead by 20 points in the first quarter, don't take a break for any of you today. All of you will give me the full game!"
Good guy, it looks like this is going to take the Clippers' rhythm in the first half!
"Coach, has anyone told you..."
"What's wrong?"
"You are so crazy now!"
"Go away!" Coach Terry kicked Wang Zelin.
As soon as Wang Zelin's ghost knife opened, he moved and moved... eh, didn't hit!
"Haha, but I like it!"
...
Pause back.
When Rivers saw that the five main forces of the Blazers were still trying, his face changed again and again, and it was much darker to the naked eye.
tnnd, the other side doesn't actually talk about martial arts!
Tonight is going to be bad!
The Clippers attack first.
On the left wing, Griffin took the initiative to withdraw the ball.
It's not how strong his offensive desire is tonight. In fact, he is not alone in playing football, but he is really the only one who the Clippers can rely on tonight.
Aside from Griffin, the only player left with the ability to run the ball offense and hopefully have an explosive output to help the Clippers break the game is Jamal Crawford.
This is also the reason why Rivers replaced Crawford after the suspension.
But what Griffin didn't expect was that as soon as he received the ball, the defender changed from Aldridge to the annoying Wang Zelin.
After several consecutive tentative steps, Griffin quickly changed his direction and wanted to eat Wang Zelin alone, but found that he couldn't hit the opponent at all.
This is embarrassing.
After dawdling for seven or eight seconds, Griffin, who finally gave up, had to hand over the ball.
"Snapped!"
The ball was received at the top of the arc, and Crawford, the chaotic master, started his operation.
After seeing his teammates pull away, Crawford choked the time, launched an attack in the last 5 seconds, dribbled the ball behind his crotch, and passed Matthews coquettishly. Step on the brakes, one step from the free throw line, and throw your hands high in advance...
The ball flew just a few centimeters above Wang Zelin's fingertips and fell into the basket!
in!
Seeing that Crawford didn't stand still, he took a few steps back and sat on the ground, then quickly got up, pulled his collar excitedly, and quickly retreated with his teammates.
This ball is absolutely super high level!
Wang Zelin was surprised by Crawford's singles!
As expected of a nerve knife, it really hangs when you get crazy!
The Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard continued to use Wang Zelin's threat to score a sudden point, and Batum, who assisted the bottom line, hit a three-pointer...
It's a pity that Batum didn't pay attention to this ball, his foot stepped on the line, and it became a two-pointer.
Offensive and defensive conversion.
After scoring a goal, Crawford not only became confident in himself, but also had confidence in him with his teammates.
Redick received the ball and found that he had no chance, and immediately passed it to Crawford, who was pulled out to pick up the singles.
Crawford stopped at the left three-point line and kept changing left and right to shake Matthews away, but Matthews didn't move.
To borrow what Wang Zelin often said to him, it means that the enemy cannot move and I cannot move!
He still doesn't believe it, and the other side dares...
Shet!
Matthews was completely defeated by the scene in front of him, and a classic national curse blurted out.
After a bad luck change, Crawford, who was halfway out of position, defended against Matthews, jumped up, and made a three-point shot...
"Shh!"
Matthews looked at the hollow ball into the basket, and his mentality exploded.
Why is he so confident?
Why does he dare to vote like this?
That's clearly a bad shot choice!
"Fuck! I met an immortal!
"
Wang Zelin in the basket was also stunned by Crawford's three-pointer, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
At 15:27, the difference between the two sides returned to 12 points!
Next, if the Clippers can guard the next ball, and then hit a three-pointer, he can return to single digits for both sides.
At the same time, this can also greatly increase the morale of the Clippers!
However, can everything really go as they wish?
frontcourt.
Wang Zelin, who came to the high position, saw that Jordan, who was defending himself, was a little absent-minded, and focused on Batum on the left bottom line.
Can he endure this?
Just as Wang Zelin, who received the ball, lifted the ball, he instantly startled Jordan, who had withdrawn his attention. He anxiously wanted to defend Wang Zelin, and then he jumped up!
You know, the ball king Zelin hasn't yielded yet, and it's not even a blur, but looking at Jordan's forward-leaning take-off, what else can he say?
He has come, who made him too kind...
"oops……"
With a mournful scream, Wang Zelin took the initiative to rub against Jordan, and at the same time threw the ball to the basket...
The ball was thrown out a moment before Wang Zelin and Jordan made physical contact. He felt that the ball felt very good and silky!
At the moment when Wang Zelin screamed, the referee blew the whistle. There was nothing wrong with the ball. Even if it wasn't at the Blazers' home court, it had to be blown. Who made Jordan's outside pressing action obvious?
But then, the ball thrown by Wang Zelin fell into the basket!
The referee confirms to the linesman again, and then the goal is valid, and the penalty will be added!
Amid the frenzied cheers of the home fans, Wang Zelin looked at the free throw line in the morning, looking at Jordan, who was on the same level as Rivers in terms of face blackness, and made a steady extra penalty hit in the latter's murderous eyes.
"Shh!"
Hit three points successfully.
15:30!
The difficult three-pointer that Crawford just hit not long ago was successfully resolved by Wang Zelin's 2+1.
At this point, there was less than a minute left until the end of the first quarter, but the Clippers still did not forget to chase the points!
Since Crawford felt so good after he came up, the Clippers simply handed over all the ball to him to gamble.
Griffin in the backcourt sent the ball directly to Crawford.
In the frontcourt, he met Matthews again.
But this time, in the face of Matthews, who was doing his best on the defensive end, in the eyes of the Clippers who were looking for help, after accumulating Crowe could not change direction, he did not shake off the defender, and he was strong by two points. Throw your hand, and hit an iron in anger.
One thing to say, in fact, the first two goals Crawford is also a strong shot, and Matthews' defense can't pick anything wrong~www.mtlnovel.com~ But if you can't stand it, it's a good goal!
But now, when the nerve knife is no longer crazy, it will be the Blazers' turn to show their power.
Offensive and defensive conversion.
Lillard pushed forward quickly, one-stop entered the basket, avoided Griffin's block in the air, and hit a layup with his left hand.
15:32!
The Clippers also wanted to grab a fast break, but the faster they were, the faster they were. When passing the ball in the frontcourt, Batum, who had been lurking for a long time, appeared on the passing route of Little Rivers and Crawford in advance, and made a steal. , so that Rivers on the sidelines has the heart to kill.
But after several hesitations, he let go of his killing intent.
No way, after all, my son!
The Blazers once again launched a counterattack storm, Lillard and Matthews on both sides quickly went down, and the pioneer general Batum was in the middle.
Don't think of another one-stop!
Barnes, Griffin and Jordan fought back desperately, pressing step by step.
Seeing that the opponent's three fast-break arrows are getting closer and closer, Griffin has repeatedly rehearsed in his mind how to block Batum, who is holding the ball and rushing to the basket.
The next moment, I saw Batum pass a cross to the left. Griffin looked in the direction and saw a person squatting at a 45-degree angle to the left three-point line - Lillard who stopped on purpose.
"Matt! Over there!
"
Griffin, in a frenzy, shouted at Barnes, but it was too late.
Lillard catches the ball and makes a three-pointer...hit!
15:35!
In the last 7.9 seconds of the first quarter, with Lillard's three-pointer, the Trail Blazers led the Clippers by a full 20 points in a single quarter!
You know, this is not the regular season, but the G1 of this year's Western Conference playoff semifinals!
As a result, the Clippers were cleaned up by the Blazers in the first quarter, and even the loyal Clippers fans could no longer restrain the anger in their hearts.
