NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 864 Twenty points in the first quarter, dominating the game

The Blazers attacked, this time it turned out to be a pick-and-roll tactic.

Wang Zelin first walked towards the basket, and then ran out to catch the ball.

He found that Hibbert didn't follow, and after receiving the ball, he took a two-point shot.

"Shua!"

A two-point hit from mid-range.

7:5, the Lakers attack.

Paul made a long pass to Kobe. Kobe didn't have a three-point chance after receiving the ball, and Button followed closely. But Bryant waved a shot, Barton jumped up!

Kobe rushed forward immediately, and at the moment when he reached the basket and was about to throw a shot, Wang Zelin, who was chasing Hibbert, suddenly stopped and turned back to the basket. He stretched his arms and blocked Kobe in front of him.

But Kobe is worthy of being a thousand-year-old waist. He forcibly retracted the ball in the air within a small range at close range. After avoiding the block with a small lever, he threw the ball.

With a bang, the two met in the air. The relatively "thin" Kobe hit Wang Zelin, staggered backwards, and almost fell.

This scene made the Lakers players and the head coach break out in a cold sweat. Kobe is almost 40, and his body is not as tough as when he was young. Such a confrontation has a great risk of injury.

But Kobe didn't care about this. After standing still, he hurriedly looked up and looked at the basketball in the air.

"Duang~"

It's a pity that the basketball didn't hit the net, and it still hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Wang Zelin's ability to protect the rim resounded throughout the league. Although Kobe escaped the block just now, he completely lost his vision and could only shoot by feeling.

At the basket, Wang Zelin quickly grabbed the rebound. Kobe couldn't see any emotional changes on his face after hitting the iron, and immediately retreated, not giving the Blazers a chance to play a fast break.

Falling into a positional battle, Wang Zelin received the ball at a high position to support, and pay attention to the interspersed running positions of his teammates... The Lakers are a typical offensive team this season, with a league-class offense and a defense above the passing line.

But this kind of defensive strength is an average level of defense for the Blazers' offense.

Aldridge catches the ball in the corner and shoots a 3-pointer... Hollow into the net!

At 10:5, the Blazers gradually opened up the score.

A few more rounds passed, and the Trail Blazers decisively began to take the initiative. The Lakers' offensive firepower was very good. They played 6 minutes and 15 seconds in the first half of the first quarter and scored 14 points. Points are expected. But the Blazers scored 21 points and easily suppressed the Lakers, and the Blazers still have the ball.

Thanks to Wang Zelin's quick response, he completed a volleyball cap when the opponent passed and cooperated. Although the ball flew out of bounds, there was not much time left for the Lakers to reorganize the offense. This time the defense successfully interrupted the opponent's attack. Cooperating, Kobe hurriedly made a long shot and hit the iron, and the referee blew the official timeout whistle.

Back on the bench, Wang Zelin glanced at the scoring distribution on the opposite side. Kobe scored 5 points, Paul scored 4 points, Derek Williams hit a three-pointer, and the outside trio scored as high as 12 points, occupying the Lakers. At present, nearly 90% of the points are scored. Among the inside players, only Gasol scored two points by relying on the tip-up of the second offense.

Obviously, the Lakers' offensive points tonight are the same as usual, mainly from outside players, including the strongest firepower of their bench lineup, who is also guard Lu Wei.

That being the case, the Trail Blazers only need to focus their defense on the outside tonight, trying to cool down the opposing outside firepower, and the ball will basically be stable.

As for the Lakers' inside offense, he, Wang, can cover it alone.

…

The Blazers continued to strengthen their offense here, Lillard, Batum, and Wang Zelin continued to play, and Connit Lee and Yi Jianlian came off the bench.

Connett Lee shot 41.5% of his three-pointers in the regular season this season. In the playoffs, he hit a terrifying 44.4%. With such an outside marksman, it is enough to contain the Lakers' outside defense.

Although Yi Jianlian is not as accurate as Connett Lee, his overall three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs is 38%, and his best at the corners on both sides is 40%, which is enough as an outside fixed-point fort.

Seeing these two teammates come up, Wang Zelin knew that as long as he played out the inside threat, there was no need to worry about outside firepower.

The Lakers have changed their formation. Lu Wei replaced Derek Williams as the second position, and partnered with Paul to play a short backcourt combination. Kobe went to play the third position, Gasol remained the same, and the inside center was replaced by Robert Thackeray.

It seems that the Lakers coach Walton Jr. has also figured it out. Since the starting center Hibbert's defense effect on Wang Zelin is about equal to 0, it is better to switch to Thackeray, who has faster pace, which can also increase the team's fast break opportunities. He won't have to rely on his slow settling speed like Hibbert did.

Just after the timeout ended, the Blazers attacked.

Wang Zelin received the ball and played singles. Facing Thackeray's single defense, he made a sideways skyhook and hit a two-pointer with a 45-degree angle on the right.

At 23:14, the Blazers widened the point difference to 9 points!

The inside gap is too obvious, and the outside line is still densely covered with firepower, so that the Lakers players dare not double-team at will. Kobe can't find any shortcomings in the Mosaic team at all.

After the point difference reached 9 points, both Kobe and Paul felt the pressure hit like a mountain.

However, after Gasol sent the ball, Paul immediately advanced quickly and launched an attack.

Just after halftime, Paul quickly noticed that the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy had changed. Connett Lee and Aldridge both leaned out consciously, and cooperated with Lillard and Batum to faintly surround themselves and Kobe. Living.

This is the rhythm of defending the outside line!

Don't you guys have to worry about the inside line... Well, after taking a look at No. 36, the Blazers sitting under the basket, Paul immediately understood the opponent's confidence.

With the continuous movement of the ball, seeing that the attack time is getting less and less, but the teammates have not been able to run out of the opportunity, Paul decided to play this ball by himself.

Anyway, in the first round of the series, he was also the Lakers' second scoring point, averaging 21 points per game, shooting 50.3% from the field, and 39.6% of the three shots. There are still exclusive team singles tactics.

In the last 5 seconds, Paul made a singles tactical gesture, and the rest of his teammates immediately pulled away, allowing him to single Lillard in the high position.

Paul's speed is not as fast as the queen bee period, but the years of fighting have given him a wealth of experience in competitions, coupled with a strong body, so that Paul has a very strong confrontation ability among active central defenders.

The title of Lao Pao is not for nothing!

After continuous ultra-low center of gravity dribbles, Paul found an opportunity to forcefully squeeze in from Lillard's left side, and after two steps forward, he made an emergency stop for a jumper.

Lillard made up quickly and gave a certain amount of physical confrontation, but Paul has demonstrated his ability to shoot after confrontation countless times, and he shot the ball steadily against Lillard's defense.

The ball feels good and should be steady!

After the shot, Paul was very confident about the shot, which came from the absolute confidence of a CIC master. He even thought about how he should celebrate after scoring this goal.

In the next moment, with a bang, a figure soared into the air and slammed the basketball out of bounds.

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle to signal the end of the attack time, a 24-second violation, and the Blazers had the ball.

Can this also be capped?

Looking at the Blazer No. 36 in front of him, Paul, who was full of confidence before, collapsed in an instant, and began to doubt his life.

In order to celebrate this goal, the Rose Garden Arena sounded like a tsunami of shouts.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! So beautiful!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Walton Jr. knew it was troublesome. The Lakers suddenly lost power, and the opponent had already risen. If no one stood up to break the scoring drought, the game would really hang.

Suddenly, his eyes locked on No. 24 on the field, and all kinds of wonderful pictures when he cooperated with the latter when he was a player also appeared in his mind.

By the way, I still have Kobe! The Lakers still have Kobe!

Just give the ball to Kobe at the critical moment!

That's right, that's the only way to do it at a time like this.

The desperate little Wharton can only pin all his hopes on the former boss Kobe. Even at this moment, he is ready for Kobe to play the whole game tonight.

Emmm, Yuanwai Lu next door couldn't help calling him an expert!

Coincidentally, at this time there was also someone who had the same idea as Jr. Wharton.

who?

Of course it is our guide Zhang Lizhang.

In the commentary seat of Tianchao Sports Channel, seeing the Lakers being unable to score for a long time, Zhang Lili was even more anxious than the players on the field, and couldn't help complaining:

"Oh, how can you fight like this? If you fight like this, you will lose!"

"Give the ball to Kobe!"

"If you don't give the ball to Kobe at this time, do the Lakers still want to win..."

Seeing the familiar voice on the TV and seeing Zhang Lili's anxious face, countless Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't help laughing.

However, one yard counts for one yard, and the game is not determined by loud voices.

In the next four minutes, Wang Zelin succeeded in attacking the frame four times, and also caused Thackeray to commit three fouls. He scored 21 twice, made all penalty shots, and scored 10 points.

The ability to score explosively in a short period of time was fully demonstrated in this game.

Adding the previous 8 points, Wang Zelin has scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter, and he is expected to score 20 points in a single quarter.

In the 10th minute of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 35:21, and the Lakers trailed by a full 14 points!

In desperation, the Lakers called the first timeout of the game.

After the players came down, Walton Jr. came to Kobe and said bluntly: "Bryant, we need you!"

Hearing this, the Lakers player next to him also fell silent, just looking at Kobe who was wiping his sweat.

"No problem, give me the ball!"

Kobe has experienced such words and scenes countless times in his career, so he is very familiar with them.

When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Get rid of the science and everything else, and then the Rose Flower Basketball Hall will usher in the bloodthirsty performance of the Black Mamba.

…

The timeout was over, and the main players on the Blazers' side, except for Wang Zelin, went off to rest for the time being.

There was not much time left in the first quarter, and several teams began to take a big lead. Coach Terry first let Wang Zelin play enough. With this kid's state tonight, he alone has more than enough offensive firepower.

So during the timeout, when Wang Zelin expressed his desire to continue playing, Coach Terry also had a relaxed attitude of "I can rest assured that you are here".

The game continued, the Lakers attacked first.

At this time, Paul and Gasol had already rested, and only Kobe was still on the court, partnering Lu Wei, Caron Butler, Nance Jr., and Thackeray.

Seeing the Lakers lineup, you don't need to think about it, the next No. 24 will be bombarded wildly.

Wang Zelin's interest also immediately improved a lot. He scored 18 points in the first quarter, the highest in the game.

The second place is none other than Kobe who scored 11 points in the first quarter.

After Lu Wei quickly advanced to the front court, he was about to smoke one himself to see if he could smoke it, but when he looked up, he saw Kobe staring at him with fiery eyes.

Well, you are the boss, come on!

Lu Wei was a little unwilling, but still passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Kobe took a step forward with three threats. Seeing that Conitelli was unmoved, he dribbled a three-point shot...

"Shua!"

The basketball is hollow into the net.

At 24:35, the point difference narrowed to 11 points.

"We want the king! Give the ball to the king!"

Such an arrogant goal instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the home fans, and everyone turned their attention to the No. 36 Blazers.

Seeing this, Wang Zelin smiled and reached out to Beverly for the ball after he got stuck in the low post after halftime.

"Wang is going to play singles again?"

The fans on the sidelines immediately cheered up.

Beverly took the ball decisively. After receiving the ball, Wang Zelin pushed hard and easily knocked Thackeray away.

It's not over yet, and the more terrifying thing is yet to come.

As Wang Zelin continued to exert force, Thackeray was even more surprised. In desperation, he could only use 100% of his strength to paste it.

However, this time he not only failed to post it, but was forced to take a big step outside.

"Gift Crab!"

Thackeray's heart was turned upside down.

Is this guy a monster?

It feels like being crazily arched by a strong bull, this **** is unscientific!

But when he thought of the three previous fouls, Thackeray felt furious in his heart. After seeing Wang Zelin take off, he quickly raised his arms to try to block the shot.

But Wang Zelin's take-off height is much higher than Thackeray's. Although Thackeray has tried very hard to take off, Wang Zelin's take-off height and his super long arms are obviously much higher than Thackeray's.

Directly across from Thackeray, he slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

"boom!"

The basketball hoop made a loud noise like a landslide~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then continued to shake violently back and forth.

On the opposite side, Thackeray fell directly to the ground and could only look up at Wang Zelin who was hanging on the basket.

After landing on the ground, Wang Zelin made an extremely contemptuous expression towards Thackeray, and then strode away to the backcourt.

Compared with Kobe's three-point shot just now, Wang Zelin's shocking dunk is undoubtedly more shocking.

After this goal, Wang Zelin successfully broke through the 20 mark in the first quarter. He seemed to be a master tonight, ruling everything on the field.

Seeing this, Miller in the TNT commentary seat turned his head to look at O'Neill: "Shaq, how do you evaluate Wang's dunk? Does it look like you?"

O'Neill nodded first, and then shook his head: "Wang's dominance at the basket has reached the extreme, but he is still a little short of the essence of me. After he finishes the dunk, he should add the overlord step!"
