NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal
Chapter 1205 The omnipotent king, Zhang is here!
After applying powder, Wang Zelin walked onto the court and looked at the starting lineup of Irving, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Redick, Brogdon, and Thon Marks, mainly the opponent's twin stars. He was already excited and now he is even more motivated to fight. !
At 19 o'clock in the evening, the game began.
Amid the excitement of the fans, Wang Zelin beat Mark to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers attacked first.
Bucks coach Jason Kidd had already expected the team's failure to jump the ball. In his impression, no one seemed to be able to jump past No. 36 on the opposite side in recent years.
Although the Bucks' new starter Thorne Mark is only a second-year rookie, his height of 2 meters and 16 centimeters is not just for show. In addition, he gained weight this summer at the request of the team management, which really made him stand out. It adds a bit of a low frame-protecting gate feel.
At the same time, the Bucks also have the ultra-high mobility top defensive sweeper Antetokounmpo inside the three-point line. The two of them have created an impregnable defense for the Bucks' penalty area, so Lillard and Connett Lee are not mindless. Li Chong.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Zelin holds the ball at a 45-degree angle from the outside, Antetokounmpo's eyes are spitting fire, and he puts on the defense with high fighting spirit.
This is the first matchup tonight between the two stars.
This set of matchups is the only plan that Kidd came up with after discussing with the coaching staff before the game to limit Wang Zelin's unsolvable offense.
Over the past summer, Antetokounmpo not only developed more terrifying muscles, but also had the speed and agility of a defender with his 2-meter height.
If you want to choose a player in the active league who can barely limit Wang Zelin, it must be the Greek Monster of the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo is a representative of someone who doesn't talk much. Although he doesn't talk trash very much, he plays extremely hard. Facing Wang Zelin, who is stronger than him in height and size, he took the initiative to launch a death-wrench defense.
Since this game was at the Bucks' home court, an action that seemed a little "rude" in other games in the past seemed ordinary in the eyes of the referee.
However, this irritated Wang Zelin even more, because he enjoyed this "rudeness" in his heart.
Today I will let you experience for yourself what the strength of the No. 1 league is!
Pop, pop, pop!
Wang Zelin moved. After facing the three-point threat, Antetokounmpo was dazzled by dribbling under his hips. Then, Wang Zelin switched the ball to his hand and started to speed up. Antetokounmpo followed up with a sliding step. Wang Zelin pulled the ball back and at the same time, his right hand was like a magic trick. Changed the trajectory of basketball.
This ball looked particularly familiar to Trail Blazers fans.
Because this is one of Wang Zelin's signature outside singles moves this season, Sam Goad!
Antetokounmpo couldn't retreat in time, his sneakers slipped, and he fell to the ground.
Bucks home fans were stunned for a moment.
Wang Zelin knocked down Antetokounmpo, and the two Bucks defenders had no time to cover up, and watched Wang Zelin reach the basket in three strides.
Bucks rookie Mark cleverly ducked to the side, giving the league's No. 1 space to take off.
Although he is only in the second grade, he has already read "Emotional Intelligence" familiarly and knows that there is an old saying in China that says that those who are interested in Western things are heroes. Since Wang Zelin debuted, he has unstoppable dunks on all the famous players in the league. Defensive warrior.
Emmmm, although Mark really wants to be famous, he never wants to be famous in this way of being used as a backdrop.
So, he chose to take a step back and enjoy the bright future!
Wang Zelin jumped up and almost pulled the basket off with a bang.
On TNT TV, Sir Charles Barkley, the No. [-] player in North America, shouted excitedly: "The invincible king conquered the land of Milwaukee with a shocking dunk!"
Wang Zelin took the lead for the Trail Blazers. His mid-range shots disrupted some of Bucks coach Jason Kidd's pre-game deficiencies.
The four-time regular season MVP and four-time Finals MVP seemed to be declaring to his opponents: Wherever Portland's iron heel goes, it shows its territory!
Seeing that many fans in the stands had already defected on the spot, Antetokounmpo was ashamed and angry.
He was so excited to face Wang Zelin at the beginning that he actually contributed to one of O'Neal's five most embarrassing scenes right from the start.
Antetokounmpo glanced at Irving, whose eyes were also full of anger...
Kyrie, join me in letting the defending champions feel the energy of the new Bucks!
Irving immediately understood the intention conveyed in Antetokounmpo's eyes, and after halftime, he handed the ball to Antetokounmpo.
And the defender Antetokounmpo faced... was none other than Wang Zelin!
"Giannis, one more!"
Bucks fans in the stands began to cheer and cheer for the young leader of the Bucks.
However, also working alone, compared with Wang Zelin's gorgeous offense that is comparable to art, Antetokounmpo's breakthrough seems particularly brutal and even a bit brainless.
In the past few games, when Antetokounmpo played against the wings of other teams, Wang Zelin's invincible tank breakthrough suddenly failed.
Continuous bull collisions, but Wang Zelin on the opposite side was as steady as a mountain, as if his feet were rooted, making Antetokounmpo's breakthrough look particularly funny.
Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack round, Antetokounmpo jumped on his back in response to Wang Zelin's turn.
"Bang!"
What was never expected was that Antetokounmpo's forced shot hit the timer directly, and the ball finally bounced out of the frame.
. . . . . . (A crow flies by)
The most fearful thing was that the air suddenly became quiet, and the entire Bucks Arena was silent again. Everyone was stunned by Antetokounmpo's saucy move.
"Hahahaha, you're laughing so hard! Is Giannis possessed by McGee tonight? He has been continuously contributing new material to Shaq's top five embarrassments since he started..."
In the TNT commentary box, Barkley was holding his belly and almost laughing like crazy.
On the field.
"Giannis, you..."
Wang Zelin was also shocked by Antetokounmpo's outrageous accuracy.
I just saw Giannis Antetokounmpo's skillful turn and fade away, and I thought the opponent had worked hard on shooting this summer, but I never expected it...
"Ahem, I said I was careless just now, do you believe it?"
Antetokounmpo also felt irritated by his incredible operation, and coughed a few times to show his embarrassment.
The Bucks' first offense ended in a rather outrageous manner.
The heated atmosphere between the two sides before the game was easily resolved by Antetokounmpo's two moves, and the game seemed to be developing in a comedy direction.
The Trail Blazers played in the frontcourt again, and Wang Zelin had no intention of continuing to hold the ball and mainly attack. He handed the ball to Jokic. Jokic moved to the high post to provide support, and the rest of his teammates moved without the ball.
Lillard and Connett Lee, the two sharpshooters, attracted defenses from beyond the three-point line. Wang Zelin and Aldridge cut in at the same time, easily tearing apart the Bucks' defensive system.
Jokic lobbed Wang Zelin from the high post, and Wang Zelin got the ball and made an easy layup.
Jokic is getting better and better at seizing opportunities. When he reaches the high post, someone inside the Bucks must follow him, because he also has outside shooting range. At this time, if Wang Zelin reaches the low post to catch the ball, whether it is Antetokounmpo or Mark , they can only choose to go around.
Because giving Wang Zelin a chance to play in singles in this position is tantamount to early death. Rather than being beaten by Wang Zelin at the basket, Kidd would rather accept Wang Zelin's outside shot.
After all, there is an eternal law in basketball: the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage!
It's a pity that Antetokounmpo failed to get around this time, and Wang Zelin got behind him instead.
Kidd glanced at Coach Terry and Jokic with both envy and emotion.
In the past few seasons, he has defied public opinion and allowed Antetokounmpo to hold a large amount of the ball and serve as the Bucks' core possession in order to develop the latter's organizational talents.
But sometimes, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and pigs.
Compared to Antetokounmpo's acquired organizational skills, Jokic's completely irrepressible organizational talent made Kidd's mouth dry.
He really doesn't know why the Trail Blazers have such incredible draft vision and can always choose Jokic in the trash heap that others ignore.
If I could train Jokic...
never mind!Antetokounmpo's talent is also rare in history. Kidd believes that he will be able to work with this beloved disciple to write a new historical chapter for the Bucks.
Bucks attack.
Irving finally realized that Antetokounmpo was going to be beaten to death by Wang Zelin tonight, so he did not hand over the ball again and decided to do it himself.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of offensive skills, Irving is definitely one of the few active offensive masters. When he feels great, he can be called an unsolvable killer on the offensive end.
After continuous dribbling and transfer under the hips, Irving went to the left short corner, turned over and shot directly.
It's also a fadeaway jumper, and the letters are used like a large zombie jumper, while Irving is full of chic and beauty.
Lillard defended enthusiastically, but his reaction still failed to keep up.
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Irving opened the scoring for the Bucks.
There were bursts of cheers.
This ball made Antetokounmpo wet. This is the basketball he dreams of!
"Great job, Kairi!"
He rushed over and hugged Irving excitedly, as if he had made the shot.
The surrounding fans are also quite excited. Although the media and experts generally believe that the Bucks made a profit by acquiring Irving this summer, Middleton has played for Milwaukee for four years and there are still many local fans. of.
Therefore, many people are worried about the chemical reaction between Irving and Antetokounmpo.
In the first few games, Irving performed well, averaging 24 points per game, and together with Antetokounmpo, he was able to score 50 points every night.
However, people still question the combination of European characters.
The reason was the same as for the Trail Blazers before the game, because the Ouzhi combination had not encountered a strong enough opponent.
But after this goal...
Bucks fans said one after another: "Chris, don't call me again. I'm afraid Irving will misunderstand!"
Khris Middleton in Cleveland: "..."
The camera returns to the pitch.
Lillard hit a three-pointer from the outside and the Bucks attacked.
Irving's goal seems to have opened Antetokounmpo's career path, making him no longer obsessed with proving himself in front of Wang Zelin. Instead, he honestly played pick-and-roll with Irving and looked for mismatch opportunities.
Relying on the threat brought by Irving's difficult goal, Antetokounmpo cut into the basket after the pick-and-roll, knocked Ade away, and completed a domineering dunk.
Although Adebao's sword is not old yet, it is in line with the old saying, boxing is afraid of young people!
At 4:4, the two sides tied.
Although Wang Zelin always feels that Irving and Antetokounmpo wearing the same team uniform and playing together are full of a sense of violation, but inexplicably...the two work really well together.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Jokic continued to organize at a high position, and Wang Zelin stepped forward to give him a pick-and-roll.
Here it comes, the Blazers’ classic inside-and-blocking tactic!
Generally speaking, if you want to play the pick-and-roll tactic well, you often need to pick-and-roll between inside and outside players, and the bigger the height difference, the better. This can maximize the value of mismatch after the pick-and-roll.
However, the Trail Blazers' three highs broke the pick-and-roll that countless coaches relied on for training, especially the inside-and-out pick-and-roll of Jokic and Wang Zelin. The threat and damage caused by it were no less than any great pick-and-roll combination in history. .
Of course, this is mainly due to the two people's passing ability, which is considered to be outstanding in history. Both of them can also shoot three-pointers. Among them, Wang Zelin's three-point threat is even more historic, which ultimately makes the two people's inner-field rivalry more powerful. The pick-and-roll became routine.
Antetokounmpo and Mark were on alert, and they quickly switched defenses, but... they tried their best to barely switch to Mark, who was in front of Wang Zelin. When he looked down, he realized that the basketball in Wang Zelin's hand had disappeared.
When blocking inside, Wang Zelin had already passed the ball to Jokic through a hand-off.
Teacher Yue's acting skills are so lifelike. He wiped out all the Bucks inside with just one turn. Antetokounmpo and Brogdon, the two strikers, pounced on Teacher Yue at the same time. Just when Teacher Yue grabbed the basketball, he was about to take a strolling layup. , grab the basketball with your hand and throw the ball back!
No-look pass!
grace!
It is so elegant!
Wang Zelin followed up and jumped up high, grabbed the ball with one hand and completed a tomahawk chop!
Chic!
It’s so chic!
Kenny Smith put his head in his hands and opened his mouth in a big O shape: "Oh, my God, how did they do it?"
Barkley also looked incredulous...
The fans in front of the TV were all immersed in this picturesque pass.
Yes, it is picturesque!
Only then did people discover that gorgeous passes were not just exclusive to outside players, inside players could also complete truly picturesque passes.
This wave of exquisite cooperation from two historical passing masters is going to overwhelm the whole Bucks!
"Why... can they show off so well no matter how they play? Why do they have to play so beautifully!" Antetokounmpo was really a little depressed this time.
Ask yourself, Giannis Antetokounmpo has to work hard in his daily training. Without sweating day after day, he would not have grown from a skinny guy who was not favored by others to the Greek monster he is today.
It's just...why can't he make such a spiritual pass no matter how hard he practices?
God, I also want to be as showy as them!
At the critical moment, it was Irving who stood up and strengthened Antetokounmpo's faith.
Ou Shenxian used an elegant mid-range shot to tie the score for the Bucks again.
This is Kyrie Irving. You can criticize his various off-court operations, but as long as you stand on the court, you never have to doubt this guy's offense!
Especially on a night when Irving feels great...
When the 1-meter Irving took the initiative to put his arms around the 91-meter-2 Antetokounmpo's neck and whispered to the latter when he retreated, countless photographers captured this scene.
This will become a classic picture of the Bucks.
I don’t know why, but the more Bucks fans watched this scene, the more they felt that Irving looked extremely tall at this moment, as if he was the boss of this Bucks.
Antetokounmpo: "???"
The Trail Blazers' next attack failed to score. Wang Zelin made a fake pass and created a chance for Ade, but the latter's jump shot missed the basket.
On the court, the Bucks took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, and the European combination continued to play pick-and-rolls. The latter acted as a wall for Irving, who took a step away and made a direct three-pointer.
"Shh!"
Irving felt incredible tonight, hitting all his first three shots.
At 7:4, the Bucks successfully overtook the score.
The Blazers' offense was still strong, but looking back, sharpshooter Redick's long shot was interfered by Wang Zelin's defense, and he took the first shot.
Under the basket, the Bucks' Mark and Antetokounmpo and the Trail Blazers' Ade and Jokic started a hand-to-hand battle.
In the end, Adelaide relied on his experience and superior skills to get into position in advance and help Jokic get the defensive rebound.
After Jokic grabbed the rebound, he quickly launched a counterattack. The Trail Blazers' transition attack was on multiple lines. Jokic passed to Wang Zelin, and after halftime, Wang Zelin passed to Lillard.
Director Lee lived up to expectations this time.After receiving a pass from Wang Zelin, he chased and hit a three-pointer.
At 7:7, the two sides tied.
Next, both sides scored one after another. With 5 minutes and 58 seconds left in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead in requesting a timeout.
The score was very tight between the two sides, and the Trail Blazers were even in the lead, but Coach Terry was still dissatisfied with it.
Because in his opinion, as a dynasty team that has won four championships in the past four years, playing like this with a new force that has made blockbuster transactions in the new season obviously does not meet the requirements of the Blazers' dynasty.
The reason why the opponent was able to hold on to the score was, on the one hand, because of the poor touch of Ade, Connett Lee, and Lillard, and on the other hand, thanks to Irving, who had an incredible touch tonight.
Halfway through the first quarter, Irving made 7 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 16 points on free throws. If we continue at this pace, it is not impossible to break the historical single-quarter scoring record in the regular season.
You know, Irving faces the Trail Blazers tonight, who have ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency in the past few years!
Being beaten like this by Irving, no wonder the team was clearly ahead, but Coach Terry still felt unhappy.
After this timeout, the Trail Blazers made substitution adjustments.
Mad Dog Beverley, who was looking forward to the stars and the moon on the bench, replaced Lillard and got an early chance to make his debut.
"Patrick, you should know why I let you play early, right?"
Coach Turley glanced at Beverly.
"understand!"
Beverly licked her lips, with a fierce look in her eyes, and nodded fiercely.
"Okay, let's go!"
the other side.
There were cheers and whistles as the Bucks players came off the court.
Because before the game, they really never thought that this young buck could actually compete with the defending champion to such an extent, almost not losing!
Does this mean...that the Bucks have a chance to end the Trail Blazers' three-game winning streak tonight?
The Bucks do have a chance. Ade, Lillard, and Connett Lee among the Trail Blazers' starting lineup seem to be in relatively average condition tonight. They have made several attempts before but failed, and they have failed to get any open opportunities. Take hold.
On the contrary, for the Bucks, the inside combination of Antetokounmpo and Mark has greatly improved the team's defense, and Irving is full of firepower on the offensive end.
The game lasted for half a quarter, and the score on the field was 22:24. The Bucks were only one goal behind their opponents.
The Bucks fans at the scene were also very excited to see this.
Thinking of the Blazers' overwhelming victories in the first three games, they just felt like they were facing an invincible giant, but now this start...
Bucks team: "The advantage is mine!"
Even Smith in the commentary box lamented: "We all underestimated the energy contained in this young Bucks team. Although it only played half a quarter, he has already brought us a huge surprise. A strong team in the Eastern Conference Guys, you have to be careful, there might be a dark horse coming up this year?"
The Trail Blazers bench signed, and Wang Zelin, who was tying his shoes, suddenly grinned when he heard Smith's explanation.The new dark horse in the East...maybe?
But next, I will let you know what true cruelty is!
beep~~~
The whistle sounded, the timeout ended, and both sides returned to the court.
Seeing that the Blazers' No. [-] position was Beverley, Kiddton felt bad and quickly reminded Irving to be careful next.
But at this moment, Irving, who scored 16 points alone, was already full of confidence. He nodded perfunctorily and came on the stage.
Seeing this, Kidd knew that his reminder was in vain. Irving obviously went in one ear and out the other.
"I hope I'm overthinking it?"
He could only comfort himself in his heart.
Unlike Lillard's defense, which barely reaches the pass line, Beverley is a genuine defensive player, enough to rank among the league's defenses.
With Beverley as the outside leader, Wang Zelin's defensive pressure was suddenly reduced, and he could then focus more on assisting defense and supplementary defense.
The target of focus is naturally Irving.
As for Antetokounmpo... As long as the Blazers' three-high lineup is still on the court, facing three seven-foot factory players, let alone Antetokounmpo, even the peak little emperor will be defeated!
Sure enough, seeing that the Blazers were still putting up that annoying three-high lineup, Antetokounmpo didn't dare rush to the basket, so he took the initiative to hand the ball to Irving.
After Irving got the ball, he feinted on the outside and tried to make a pull-up. Beverley kept up with him in small steps, not giving Irving a chance to force a shot.
Beverley is nicknamed Wild Dog, and he is particularly good at small steps and clinging to people. Maybe his physical fitness is not top-notch, and his high-level defensive statistics are not very impressive, but every player who plays against him will be made uncomfortable by him. .
In Wang Zelin's previous life, after Beverley became a great defensive player in the Mosaic team, every team thereafter was relied on by the head coach for important tasks. When encountering a super scorer on the opposite side, Beverley was basically responsible for solving the problem.
The most exaggerated moment is to ask Beverley to defend Durant alone, but the defensive effect is not bad.
In this life, thanks to the patient training of the coaching staff and the constant collision with Wang Zelin, a historical scorer, Beverley's individual defensive ability has reached perfection.
Relying on frequent small steps and tireless little movements, Irving's matchup was very uncomfortable. In addition, the ball had spent most of the time in Antetokounmpo's hands. When the ball was passed to Irving, there were only 8 seconds left.
In such a short period of time, even Irving couldn't complete the shot under Beverley's tight surveillance.
With three big men in the penalty area and Wang Zelin, who has a historical assist defense ability, Beverley boldly failed to shoot, which made Irving quite depressed.
At the critical moment, Redick stood up and relied on his superb off-ball movement skills honed over ten years. He used his teammates' pick-and-rolls to get rid of the defender and get an open opportunity.
Irving immediately beamed and passed the ball in the last two seconds. Although Connet Lee finally broke out, after solving it, Redick completed the shot without adjusting.
From preparation to shooting, Redick showed what it means to be a fast shooter!
Starting from the 14-15 season, Redick's shooting skills seemed to have entered a higher level. The three-point shooting rate never dropped below 15%. The most exaggerated three-point shooting rate in the 16-47.5 season reached an astonishing level. [-]% of heavenly beings!
Historically, after being traded to the Philadelphia 17ers in the 18-75 season, Redick was still in his prime, with a three-point shooting rate of 42%, enough to rank him among the top active marksmen.
"Shh!"
This ball hit the net!
With this wonderful sound of passing through the net, the score between the two sides was rewritten to 25:24, and the Bucks took the lead by one point.
The entire home court was excited again. The Bucks' outside touch tonight was really amazing. All the fans stood up happily and let out roaring roars.
It can be seen that Bucks fans are excited from the bottom of their hearts!
What about the defending champions?
When you get to Milwaukee, ask who is the father? !
Listening to the enthusiastic cheers around him, Wang Zelin suddenly smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.
"Give me the ball!"
Wang Zelin didn't say much, he just turned and yelled at his teammates.
Hearing this, Beverley, Jokic and others suddenly became excited.
So far this season, his boss's offensive desire has reached an unprecedented low, which can be seen from his scoring.
19 points in the opening game, 23 points in the second game, 20 points in the last game...the average was only 20.6 points per game.
Although the rebounds are still easily in double figures and he can average 20+10 All-Star statistics per game, it seems particularly abrupt when it comes to Wang Zelin.
You know, Wang Zelin's average data per game last season was 40+20!
Although everyone knows that the reason why Wang Zelin did this is to share the cake with the rest of his teammates by sacrificing playing time and data, but compared with the sparse and ordinary 20+10, Jokic misses the frequent performance of last season even more. Killer King Zelin with 50+ and 60+ in a single game.
Therefore, when the other Blazers players saw their boss's expression getting colder and colder, they did not feel nervous, but instead were filled with expectations.
Is that omnipotent God of Death coming back again?
The Trail Blazers attacked, but Jokic was not there after halftime.
Then provide support from the high position, and instead form the left and right corners with Ade, opening up space for Wang Zelin who is holding the ball.
Wang Zelin didn't hesitate, took a step on the wing, and used his height to pull out in front of Antetokounmpo.
The trajectory of the basketball was a little crooked after being released, and there was a sigh from the Blazers fans in front of the TV.
On the contrary, the Bucks fans in the stands were flushed as if they had been shot.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
However, before they could be happy for long, there was a roar from the basket.
I saw Jokic overpowering Mark, grabbing the rebound with one hand, and quickly throwing it out after landing:
"King, continue!"
The rebounding advantage of the Trail Blazers' three-high lineup was fully demonstrated at this moment.
When Wang Zelin was playing singles on the outside, Antetokounmpo, who was responsible for the main defense, had to follow suit. At this time, the Bucks were close to Mark at the basket and how could he steal Jokic and Ade.
Thanks bro!
Looking at the flying basketball, Wang Zelin glanced at Jokic gratefully. After catching the ball, his eyes returned to coldness, and he took another shot against Antetokounmpo.
"Don't think about it!"
Antetokounmpo roared and quickly followed up with a jump, but when he jumped up, he found that there was no one in front of him.
When the camera showed Wang Zelin, he only jumped up on one foot, with his right foot still on the ground.
"You got Fooled!"
Looking at Giannis Antetokounmpo who looked frightened in mid-air, Wang Zelin tilted his mouth, revealed a sinister smile, and then slowly took off...
"Snapped!"
When Antetokounmpo fell, he inevitably bumped into Wang Zelin, and the whistle sounded unexpectedly.
After Wang Zelin was fouled, he used his waist and abdomen for a second time to force the ball in the air.
Following a high arc, the expressions of Kidd and the Bucks fans on the court gradually became horrified, because the ball seemed to be equipped with a positioning missile, and it steadily penetrated into the Bucks basket.
"Shh!"
The three points are valid and there will be an additional penalty.
Barkley covered his face with one hand: "Gift crab! 3+1, Wang is going to score 4 points!"
Smith added: "This is the first 3+1 in the NBA this season. It is easy to see from Giannis's expression that he probably regretted it."
But at this time, Barkley smiled mysteriously: "Rather than whether Giannis will regret it, I am more looking forward to Wang's next performance."
"Oh, what do you say?"
Smith turned his head and looked over curiously.
"Haha, the beast from Portland is coming back to life!"
Bakri looked at Wang Zelin with a cruel and murderous expression on the screen, and his expression became more and more BT.
on the field.
Antetokounmpo looked at the Trail Blazers No. 36 in front of him with horrified eyes.
However, Wang Zelin didn't care about Antetokounmpo's abnormality, but went straight to the free throw line and steadily hit the extra free throw.
28:25, the Blazers lead by 3 points!
In the remaining time of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers showed their strongest trump card, and the game completely turned into Wang Zelin's personal show time!
Wang Zelin turned around and hit the target after double-teaming;
Wang Zelin held the ball in the backcourt and dunked successfully;
Wang Zelin caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-pointer;
Wang Zelin broke through to the basket and scored 2+1 after the confrontation;
……
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers turned away and led the Bucks by 42 points, 36:6.
After returning from the timeout, Wang Zelin scored 5 points in a row in just 14 minutes and scored 23 points in a single quarter, showing his true qualities as the league's No. 1!
In the second quarter, both sides entered rotation.
The Bucks were in really good shape tonight, and the substitute players played very well. During the rest period of the main team, they firmly took advantage of the score.
The score between the two sides came to 57:50, and the Bucks were only 7 points behind.
Entering the second half of the second quarter, the Bucks called a timeout first and replaced the main players one by one.
The Trail Blazers are here, Aldridge continues to rest, and Wang Zelin takes the field with a full-shooter lineup of Jokic, Beverley, Curry, and Yi Jianlian.
This lineup can maximize the space on the court and allow Wang Zelin to unleash his personal abilities.
After the timeout, the Bucks attack first.
Irving and Giannis Antetokounmpo moved in the pick-and-roll. Antetokounmpo's pick-and-roll was not of high quality this time. When Irving took the ball, Yi Jianlian interfered with the ball and hit the front spring and came out.
After all, the time for the two to get along was too short.
Jokic kept the defensive rebound, and the Trail Blazers directly launched a defensive counterattack. Wang Zelin opened his long legs and took the lead. Beverley and Curry were both walking fast at the same time. Wang Zelin threw the ball to the closer Curry.
Curry took two steps and made a long pass to Wang Zelin at the front. After receiving the ball, Wang Zelin accelerated and shook off Brogdon, without giving the latter any chance to block, and directly made a one-handed dunk.
"boom!"
Wang Zelin's dunk really made the rim buzz.
A powerful and heavy slam!
It was also his 25th point tonight.
59: 50.
"MVP!"
"Our scoring champion is back!"
"This is the Wang Zelin I am familiar with!"
"The omnipotent scoring machine is back!"
……
On the hotline, countless Wang Mi have begun to shout in unison.
They have long been fed up with Wang Zelin's fishing performance in the first three games, but he can't paddle anymore.
Brother, don’t forget that you said you would surpass Michael Jordan. What’s going on with this performance now?
Could it be that I got tired of winning too many championships, and my mentality changed and I became a salty fish?
Countless Wang Mi’s hearts are full of hatred, but now seeing Wang Zelin return to his familiar scoring champion posture, this is really indescribable excitement!
Your king is back!
Antetokounmpo reached the basket and was determined to dunk, but Wang Zelin blocked the block and grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Bucks retreated in time this time and did not give the Trail Blazers a chance to directly counterattack.
Falling into a positional battle, Wang Zelin held the ball in singles. Antetokounmpo hurriedly lifted it up. Wang Zelin took two tentative steps, decisively accelerated to the right, and made a mindless dive.
Looking at Wang Zelin rushing up, Antetokounmpo gritted his teeth and hurriedly moved sideways.
However... at the moment when Wang Zelin and Antetokounmpo were in close contact, he suddenly collected the ball and changed lanes, took a step to the left, then turned around and went to the basket, successfully scoring the ball.
The 27th point in a single game!
61: 50.
Antetokounmpo only felt a gust of wind blowing past him very quickly. When he came back to his senses...
Wang Defa?
He...was used as a stake?
Wang Zelin's incredible silky turn shocked the audience.
The boards of Newton's coffin can hardly hold it down. This is completely contrary to physics!
You know, it is very difficult to forcefully change the inertia, especially for big men.
Wang Zelin's agility was different from that of a seven-foot-long man, and once again shocked everyone's jaws.
Smith covered his face with one hand: "I unilaterally declare that no matter what happens to Wang from now on, I think it is reasonable."
Barkley, on the other hand, seemed not surprised, simply because... he had long been numb to Wang Zelin's magic.
On the Trail Blazers bench, coach Terry lamented: "I seem to have unleashed an incredible monster."
David Vanderpool, who was already stunned, nodded.
At this moment, neither of them had any doubts about Wang Zelin's switch to small forward.
Perhaps playing like Wang Zelin is the answer to the development of modern basketball!
In fact, if Wang Zelin had not appeared, Antetokounmpo would have become the first athlete to change people's perception of basketball in history. And after his rise, within a few years, a more cross-generational future warrior would appear in the NBA— —Victor Vunbanyama!
Therefore, the speculations of the two men are not wrong. The future development trajectory of the NBA does tend to be towards senior players, but it is different from traditional senior players. Expert media believe that those who will dominate the NBA in the future are all-round senior players with no blind spots in technical style.
Keke, get back to business.
Seeing that Antetokounmpo was unable to attack for a long time, Irving decided to personally break the team's scoring drought. The point difference between the two sides had reached 11 points. If the Trail Blazers continued to expand the point difference, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.
Irving held the ball and attacked the basket, but Beverley gave him a lot of confrontation.
In the end, Irving used a super large pull rod to avoid Beverley and create space for himself, but at the moment he took action.
Wang Zelin jumped into the air from behind him.
"Snapped!"
Another big hat that blocks the sky and the sun!
And once again grabbed a defensive rebound!
The Bucks Gemini fell into the hands of the same person consecutively, and the fans at the scene couldn't help but howl.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Trail Blazers counterattack!
Curry has excellent off-ball awareness and takes the lead.
Seeing this, Wang Zelin, who is also a skilled man, was bold and made a long pass directly from the backcourt, which surprised everyone.
Little Curry caught the ball comfortably, stood firm at the top of the arc in the frontcourt, and hit a slightly adjusted chasing three-pointer!
64:50, after returning from the timeout, the Trail Blazers played a wave of flow, directly opening the point difference to 14 points!
Bucks coach Kidd was decisive and reached out to call a timeout.
Wang Zelin's continuous outburst instantly broke the stalemate on the court.
Not only that, with Wang Zelin's single-point blast, it became easier for other Blazers players to score. Curry's three-pointer and one sword pierced the throat, making Kidd completely unable to hold back.
After the timeout, Kidd brought all the other three main players on the court in advance. Looking at the picture, he really wanted to win tonight.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a normal thing. The Trail Blazers lineup this season is unprecedentedly luxurious. Before the start of the season, many media set the Blazers' regular season goal for this season at 80 wins, which is enough to see It shows how much the outside world is looking forward to this Trail Blazers.
Under such circumstances, whoever can defeat the Trail Blazers will definitely be recorded in history!
Irving was a lot more cautious when he came back. Through constant pick-and-rolls and screens, he finally found an opportunity to beat Curry in isolation, breaking the scoring drought for the Mosaic team.
52: 64.
Coach Terry shook his head. The all-shooter lineup was not good at this point, and the defense was easily targeted.
However, he had expected all this, not to mention that the purpose of sending this lineup was not defense, but offense, the ultimate offense!
Sure enough, looking back, Wang Zelin also found the wrong position to hit Mark through the pick-and-roll... Well, with Wang Zelin's current abnormal physical condition, anyone he hits will be out of position.
When playing against Mark alone, Wang Zelin passed his opponent with a simple acceleration, got to the basket and hit a layup after a confrontation.
66:52, the point difference remains the same.
This dampened the morale the Bucks had just raised.
Not only that, looking back at Irving's sudden score, Brogdon made a mistake in catching the ball and the ball went directly out of bounds!
The scene was agitated, and downtown Bucks continued to be depressed.
This goal intuitively reflects the gap between the Bucks and the Trail Blazers in terms of tactical coordination.
Trail Blazers attack.
Wang Zelin took the initiative to serve the sideline ball, directly passed a long pass to the opponent's basket, and assisted Yi Jianlian to complete the alley-oop.
This goal was full of imagination, catching the entire Bucks team off guard, and it was breathtaking.
What is even more impressive is Wang Zelin who sent this top ten pass.
Facts have proved that when Trail Blazers No. 36 wants to score, he is still the omnipotent scoring machine!
68:52, the point difference was pulled to 16 points.
When Irving's magical touch in the first quarter is gone, how will the Bucks resist the Blazers' violent offensive next? (End of chapter)
At 19 o'clock in the evening, the game began.
Amid the excitement of the fans, Wang Zelin beat Mark to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers attacked first.
Bucks coach Jason Kidd had already expected the team's failure to jump the ball. In his impression, no one seemed to be able to jump past No. 36 on the opposite side in recent years.
Although the Bucks' new starter Thorne Mark is only a second-year rookie, his height of 2 meters and 16 centimeters is not just for show. In addition, he gained weight this summer at the request of the team management, which really made him stand out. It adds a bit of a low frame-protecting gate feel.
At the same time, the Bucks also have the ultra-high mobility top defensive sweeper Antetokounmpo inside the three-point line. The two of them have created an impregnable defense for the Bucks' penalty area, so Lillard and Connett Lee are not mindless. Li Chong.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Zelin holds the ball at a 45-degree angle from the outside, Antetokounmpo's eyes are spitting fire, and he puts on the defense with high fighting spirit.
This is the first matchup tonight between the two stars.
This set of matchups is the only plan that Kidd came up with after discussing with the coaching staff before the game to limit Wang Zelin's unsolvable offense.
Over the past summer, Antetokounmpo not only developed more terrifying muscles, but also had the speed and agility of a defender with his 2-meter height.
If you want to choose a player in the active league who can barely limit Wang Zelin, it must be the Greek Monster of the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo is a representative of someone who doesn't talk much. Although he doesn't talk trash very much, he plays extremely hard. Facing Wang Zelin, who is stronger than him in height and size, he took the initiative to launch a death-wrench defense.
Since this game was at the Bucks' home court, an action that seemed a little "rude" in other games in the past seemed ordinary in the eyes of the referee.
However, this irritated Wang Zelin even more, because he enjoyed this "rudeness" in his heart.
Today I will let you experience for yourself what the strength of the No. 1 league is!
Pop, pop, pop!
Wang Zelin moved. After facing the three-point threat, Antetokounmpo was dazzled by dribbling under his hips. Then, Wang Zelin switched the ball to his hand and started to speed up. Antetokounmpo followed up with a sliding step. Wang Zelin pulled the ball back and at the same time, his right hand was like a magic trick. Changed the trajectory of basketball.
This ball looked particularly familiar to Trail Blazers fans.
Because this is one of Wang Zelin's signature outside singles moves this season, Sam Goad!
Antetokounmpo couldn't retreat in time, his sneakers slipped, and he fell to the ground.
Bucks home fans were stunned for a moment.
Wang Zelin knocked down Antetokounmpo, and the two Bucks defenders had no time to cover up, and watched Wang Zelin reach the basket in three strides.
Bucks rookie Mark cleverly ducked to the side, giving the league's No. 1 space to take off.
Although he is only in the second grade, he has already read "Emotional Intelligence" familiarly and knows that there is an old saying in China that says that those who are interested in Western things are heroes. Since Wang Zelin debuted, he has unstoppable dunks on all the famous players in the league. Defensive warrior.
Emmmm, although Mark really wants to be famous, he never wants to be famous in this way of being used as a backdrop.
So, he chose to take a step back and enjoy the bright future!
Wang Zelin jumped up and almost pulled the basket off with a bang.
On TNT TV, Sir Charles Barkley, the No. [-] player in North America, shouted excitedly: "The invincible king conquered the land of Milwaukee with a shocking dunk!"
Wang Zelin took the lead for the Trail Blazers. His mid-range shots disrupted some of Bucks coach Jason Kidd's pre-game deficiencies.
The four-time regular season MVP and four-time Finals MVP seemed to be declaring to his opponents: Wherever Portland's iron heel goes, it shows its territory!
Seeing that many fans in the stands had already defected on the spot, Antetokounmpo was ashamed and angry.
He was so excited to face Wang Zelin at the beginning that he actually contributed to one of O'Neal's five most embarrassing scenes right from the start.
Antetokounmpo glanced at Irving, whose eyes were also full of anger...
Kyrie, join me in letting the defending champions feel the energy of the new Bucks!
Irving immediately understood the intention conveyed in Antetokounmpo's eyes, and after halftime, he handed the ball to Antetokounmpo.
And the defender Antetokounmpo faced... was none other than Wang Zelin!
"Giannis, one more!"
Bucks fans in the stands began to cheer and cheer for the young leader of the Bucks.
However, also working alone, compared with Wang Zelin's gorgeous offense that is comparable to art, Antetokounmpo's breakthrough seems particularly brutal and even a bit brainless.
In the past few games, when Antetokounmpo played against the wings of other teams, Wang Zelin's invincible tank breakthrough suddenly failed.
Continuous bull collisions, but Wang Zelin on the opposite side was as steady as a mountain, as if his feet were rooted, making Antetokounmpo's breakthrough look particularly funny.
Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack round, Antetokounmpo jumped on his back in response to Wang Zelin's turn.
"Bang!"
What was never expected was that Antetokounmpo's forced shot hit the timer directly, and the ball finally bounced out of the frame.
. . . . . . (A crow flies by)
The most fearful thing was that the air suddenly became quiet, and the entire Bucks Arena was silent again. Everyone was stunned by Antetokounmpo's saucy move.
"Hahahaha, you're laughing so hard! Is Giannis possessed by McGee tonight? He has been continuously contributing new material to Shaq's top five embarrassments since he started..."
In the TNT commentary box, Barkley was holding his belly and almost laughing like crazy.
On the field.
"Giannis, you..."
Wang Zelin was also shocked by Antetokounmpo's outrageous accuracy.
I just saw Giannis Antetokounmpo's skillful turn and fade away, and I thought the opponent had worked hard on shooting this summer, but I never expected it...
"Ahem, I said I was careless just now, do you believe it?"
Antetokounmpo also felt irritated by his incredible operation, and coughed a few times to show his embarrassment.
The Bucks' first offense ended in a rather outrageous manner.
The heated atmosphere between the two sides before the game was easily resolved by Antetokounmpo's two moves, and the game seemed to be developing in a comedy direction.
The Trail Blazers played in the frontcourt again, and Wang Zelin had no intention of continuing to hold the ball and mainly attack. He handed the ball to Jokic. Jokic moved to the high post to provide support, and the rest of his teammates moved without the ball.
Lillard and Connett Lee, the two sharpshooters, attracted defenses from beyond the three-point line. Wang Zelin and Aldridge cut in at the same time, easily tearing apart the Bucks' defensive system.
Jokic lobbed Wang Zelin from the high post, and Wang Zelin got the ball and made an easy layup.
Jokic is getting better and better at seizing opportunities. When he reaches the high post, someone inside the Bucks must follow him, because he also has outside shooting range. At this time, if Wang Zelin reaches the low post to catch the ball, whether it is Antetokounmpo or Mark , they can only choose to go around.
Because giving Wang Zelin a chance to play in singles in this position is tantamount to early death. Rather than being beaten by Wang Zelin at the basket, Kidd would rather accept Wang Zelin's outside shot.
After all, there is an eternal law in basketball: the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage!
It's a pity that Antetokounmpo failed to get around this time, and Wang Zelin got behind him instead.
Kidd glanced at Coach Terry and Jokic with both envy and emotion.
In the past few seasons, he has defied public opinion and allowed Antetokounmpo to hold a large amount of the ball and serve as the Bucks' core possession in order to develop the latter's organizational talents.
But sometimes, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and pigs.
Compared to Antetokounmpo's acquired organizational skills, Jokic's completely irrepressible organizational talent made Kidd's mouth dry.
He really doesn't know why the Trail Blazers have such incredible draft vision and can always choose Jokic in the trash heap that others ignore.
If I could train Jokic...
never mind!Antetokounmpo's talent is also rare in history. Kidd believes that he will be able to work with this beloved disciple to write a new historical chapter for the Bucks.
Bucks attack.
Irving finally realized that Antetokounmpo was going to be beaten to death by Wang Zelin tonight, so he did not hand over the ball again and decided to do it himself.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of offensive skills, Irving is definitely one of the few active offensive masters. When he feels great, he can be called an unsolvable killer on the offensive end.
After continuous dribbling and transfer under the hips, Irving went to the left short corner, turned over and shot directly.
It's also a fadeaway jumper, and the letters are used like a large zombie jumper, while Irving is full of chic and beauty.
Lillard defended enthusiastically, but his reaction still failed to keep up.
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Irving opened the scoring for the Bucks.
There were bursts of cheers.
This ball made Antetokounmpo wet. This is the basketball he dreams of!
"Great job, Kairi!"
He rushed over and hugged Irving excitedly, as if he had made the shot.
The surrounding fans are also quite excited. Although the media and experts generally believe that the Bucks made a profit by acquiring Irving this summer, Middleton has played for Milwaukee for four years and there are still many local fans. of.
Therefore, many people are worried about the chemical reaction between Irving and Antetokounmpo.
In the first few games, Irving performed well, averaging 24 points per game, and together with Antetokounmpo, he was able to score 50 points every night.
However, people still question the combination of European characters.
The reason was the same as for the Trail Blazers before the game, because the Ouzhi combination had not encountered a strong enough opponent.
But after this goal...
Bucks fans said one after another: "Chris, don't call me again. I'm afraid Irving will misunderstand!"
Khris Middleton in Cleveland: "..."
The camera returns to the pitch.
Lillard hit a three-pointer from the outside and the Bucks attacked.
Irving's goal seems to have opened Antetokounmpo's career path, making him no longer obsessed with proving himself in front of Wang Zelin. Instead, he honestly played pick-and-roll with Irving and looked for mismatch opportunities.
Relying on the threat brought by Irving's difficult goal, Antetokounmpo cut into the basket after the pick-and-roll, knocked Ade away, and completed a domineering dunk.
Although Adebao's sword is not old yet, it is in line with the old saying, boxing is afraid of young people!
At 4:4, the two sides tied.
Although Wang Zelin always feels that Irving and Antetokounmpo wearing the same team uniform and playing together are full of a sense of violation, but inexplicably...the two work really well together.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Jokic continued to organize at a high position, and Wang Zelin stepped forward to give him a pick-and-roll.
Here it comes, the Blazers’ classic inside-and-blocking tactic!
Generally speaking, if you want to play the pick-and-roll tactic well, you often need to pick-and-roll between inside and outside players, and the bigger the height difference, the better. This can maximize the value of mismatch after the pick-and-roll.
However, the Trail Blazers' three highs broke the pick-and-roll that countless coaches relied on for training, especially the inside-and-out pick-and-roll of Jokic and Wang Zelin. The threat and damage caused by it were no less than any great pick-and-roll combination in history. .
Of course, this is mainly due to the two people's passing ability, which is considered to be outstanding in history. Both of them can also shoot three-pointers. Among them, Wang Zelin's three-point threat is even more historic, which ultimately makes the two people's inner-field rivalry more powerful. The pick-and-roll became routine.
Antetokounmpo and Mark were on alert, and they quickly switched defenses, but... they tried their best to barely switch to Mark, who was in front of Wang Zelin. When he looked down, he realized that the basketball in Wang Zelin's hand had disappeared.
When blocking inside, Wang Zelin had already passed the ball to Jokic through a hand-off.
Teacher Yue's acting skills are so lifelike. He wiped out all the Bucks inside with just one turn. Antetokounmpo and Brogdon, the two strikers, pounced on Teacher Yue at the same time. Just when Teacher Yue grabbed the basketball, he was about to take a strolling layup. , grab the basketball with your hand and throw the ball back!
No-look pass!
grace!
It is so elegant!
Wang Zelin followed up and jumped up high, grabbed the ball with one hand and completed a tomahawk chop!
Chic!
It’s so chic!
Kenny Smith put his head in his hands and opened his mouth in a big O shape: "Oh, my God, how did they do it?"
Barkley also looked incredulous...
The fans in front of the TV were all immersed in this picturesque pass.
Yes, it is picturesque!
Only then did people discover that gorgeous passes were not just exclusive to outside players, inside players could also complete truly picturesque passes.
This wave of exquisite cooperation from two historical passing masters is going to overwhelm the whole Bucks!
"Why... can they show off so well no matter how they play? Why do they have to play so beautifully!" Antetokounmpo was really a little depressed this time.
Ask yourself, Giannis Antetokounmpo has to work hard in his daily training. Without sweating day after day, he would not have grown from a skinny guy who was not favored by others to the Greek monster he is today.
It's just...why can't he make such a spiritual pass no matter how hard he practices?
God, I also want to be as showy as them!
At the critical moment, it was Irving who stood up and strengthened Antetokounmpo's faith.
Ou Shenxian used an elegant mid-range shot to tie the score for the Bucks again.
This is Kyrie Irving. You can criticize his various off-court operations, but as long as you stand on the court, you never have to doubt this guy's offense!
Especially on a night when Irving feels great...
When the 1-meter Irving took the initiative to put his arms around the 91-meter-2 Antetokounmpo's neck and whispered to the latter when he retreated, countless photographers captured this scene.
This will become a classic picture of the Bucks.
I don’t know why, but the more Bucks fans watched this scene, the more they felt that Irving looked extremely tall at this moment, as if he was the boss of this Bucks.
Antetokounmpo: "???"
The Trail Blazers' next attack failed to score. Wang Zelin made a fake pass and created a chance for Ade, but the latter's jump shot missed the basket.
On the court, the Bucks took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, and the European combination continued to play pick-and-rolls. The latter acted as a wall for Irving, who took a step away and made a direct three-pointer.
"Shh!"
Irving felt incredible tonight, hitting all his first three shots.
At 7:4, the Bucks successfully overtook the score.
The Blazers' offense was still strong, but looking back, sharpshooter Redick's long shot was interfered by Wang Zelin's defense, and he took the first shot.
Under the basket, the Bucks' Mark and Antetokounmpo and the Trail Blazers' Ade and Jokic started a hand-to-hand battle.
In the end, Adelaide relied on his experience and superior skills to get into position in advance and help Jokic get the defensive rebound.
After Jokic grabbed the rebound, he quickly launched a counterattack. The Trail Blazers' transition attack was on multiple lines. Jokic passed to Wang Zelin, and after halftime, Wang Zelin passed to Lillard.
Director Lee lived up to expectations this time.After receiving a pass from Wang Zelin, he chased and hit a three-pointer.
At 7:7, the two sides tied.
Next, both sides scored one after another. With 5 minutes and 58 seconds left in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead in requesting a timeout.
The score was very tight between the two sides, and the Trail Blazers were even in the lead, but Coach Terry was still dissatisfied with it.
Because in his opinion, as a dynasty team that has won four championships in the past four years, playing like this with a new force that has made blockbuster transactions in the new season obviously does not meet the requirements of the Blazers' dynasty.
The reason why the opponent was able to hold on to the score was, on the one hand, because of the poor touch of Ade, Connett Lee, and Lillard, and on the other hand, thanks to Irving, who had an incredible touch tonight.
Halfway through the first quarter, Irving made 7 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 16 points on free throws. If we continue at this pace, it is not impossible to break the historical single-quarter scoring record in the regular season.
You know, Irving faces the Trail Blazers tonight, who have ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency in the past few years!
Being beaten like this by Irving, no wonder the team was clearly ahead, but Coach Terry still felt unhappy.
After this timeout, the Trail Blazers made substitution adjustments.
Mad Dog Beverley, who was looking forward to the stars and the moon on the bench, replaced Lillard and got an early chance to make his debut.
"Patrick, you should know why I let you play early, right?"
Coach Turley glanced at Beverly.
"understand!"
Beverly licked her lips, with a fierce look in her eyes, and nodded fiercely.
"Okay, let's go!"
the other side.
There were cheers and whistles as the Bucks players came off the court.
Because before the game, they really never thought that this young buck could actually compete with the defending champion to such an extent, almost not losing!
Does this mean...that the Bucks have a chance to end the Trail Blazers' three-game winning streak tonight?
The Bucks do have a chance. Ade, Lillard, and Connett Lee among the Trail Blazers' starting lineup seem to be in relatively average condition tonight. They have made several attempts before but failed, and they have failed to get any open opportunities. Take hold.
On the contrary, for the Bucks, the inside combination of Antetokounmpo and Mark has greatly improved the team's defense, and Irving is full of firepower on the offensive end.
The game lasted for half a quarter, and the score on the field was 22:24. The Bucks were only one goal behind their opponents.
The Bucks fans at the scene were also very excited to see this.
Thinking of the Blazers' overwhelming victories in the first three games, they just felt like they were facing an invincible giant, but now this start...
Bucks team: "The advantage is mine!"
Even Smith in the commentary box lamented: "We all underestimated the energy contained in this young Bucks team. Although it only played half a quarter, he has already brought us a huge surprise. A strong team in the Eastern Conference Guys, you have to be careful, there might be a dark horse coming up this year?"
The Trail Blazers bench signed, and Wang Zelin, who was tying his shoes, suddenly grinned when he heard Smith's explanation.The new dark horse in the East...maybe?
But next, I will let you know what true cruelty is!
beep~~~
The whistle sounded, the timeout ended, and both sides returned to the court.
Seeing that the Blazers' No. [-] position was Beverley, Kiddton felt bad and quickly reminded Irving to be careful next.
But at this moment, Irving, who scored 16 points alone, was already full of confidence. He nodded perfunctorily and came on the stage.
Seeing this, Kidd knew that his reminder was in vain. Irving obviously went in one ear and out the other.
"I hope I'm overthinking it?"
He could only comfort himself in his heart.
Unlike Lillard's defense, which barely reaches the pass line, Beverley is a genuine defensive player, enough to rank among the league's defenses.
With Beverley as the outside leader, Wang Zelin's defensive pressure was suddenly reduced, and he could then focus more on assisting defense and supplementary defense.
The target of focus is naturally Irving.
As for Antetokounmpo... As long as the Blazers' three-high lineup is still on the court, facing three seven-foot factory players, let alone Antetokounmpo, even the peak little emperor will be defeated!
Sure enough, seeing that the Blazers were still putting up that annoying three-high lineup, Antetokounmpo didn't dare rush to the basket, so he took the initiative to hand the ball to Irving.
After Irving got the ball, he feinted on the outside and tried to make a pull-up. Beverley kept up with him in small steps, not giving Irving a chance to force a shot.
Beverley is nicknamed Wild Dog, and he is particularly good at small steps and clinging to people. Maybe his physical fitness is not top-notch, and his high-level defensive statistics are not very impressive, but every player who plays against him will be made uncomfortable by him. .
In Wang Zelin's previous life, after Beverley became a great defensive player in the Mosaic team, every team thereafter was relied on by the head coach for important tasks. When encountering a super scorer on the opposite side, Beverley was basically responsible for solving the problem.
The most exaggerated moment is to ask Beverley to defend Durant alone, but the defensive effect is not bad.
In this life, thanks to the patient training of the coaching staff and the constant collision with Wang Zelin, a historical scorer, Beverley's individual defensive ability has reached perfection.
Relying on frequent small steps and tireless little movements, Irving's matchup was very uncomfortable. In addition, the ball had spent most of the time in Antetokounmpo's hands. When the ball was passed to Irving, there were only 8 seconds left.
In such a short period of time, even Irving couldn't complete the shot under Beverley's tight surveillance.
With three big men in the penalty area and Wang Zelin, who has a historical assist defense ability, Beverley boldly failed to shoot, which made Irving quite depressed.
At the critical moment, Redick stood up and relied on his superb off-ball movement skills honed over ten years. He used his teammates' pick-and-rolls to get rid of the defender and get an open opportunity.
Irving immediately beamed and passed the ball in the last two seconds. Although Connet Lee finally broke out, after solving it, Redick completed the shot without adjusting.
From preparation to shooting, Redick showed what it means to be a fast shooter!
Starting from the 14-15 season, Redick's shooting skills seemed to have entered a higher level. The three-point shooting rate never dropped below 15%. The most exaggerated three-point shooting rate in the 16-47.5 season reached an astonishing level. [-]% of heavenly beings!
Historically, after being traded to the Philadelphia 17ers in the 18-75 season, Redick was still in his prime, with a three-point shooting rate of 42%, enough to rank him among the top active marksmen.
"Shh!"
This ball hit the net!
With this wonderful sound of passing through the net, the score between the two sides was rewritten to 25:24, and the Bucks took the lead by one point.
The entire home court was excited again. The Bucks' outside touch tonight was really amazing. All the fans stood up happily and let out roaring roars.
It can be seen that Bucks fans are excited from the bottom of their hearts!
What about the defending champions?
When you get to Milwaukee, ask who is the father? !
Listening to the enthusiastic cheers around him, Wang Zelin suddenly smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.
"Give me the ball!"
Wang Zelin didn't say much, he just turned and yelled at his teammates.
Hearing this, Beverley, Jokic and others suddenly became excited.
So far this season, his boss's offensive desire has reached an unprecedented low, which can be seen from his scoring.
19 points in the opening game, 23 points in the second game, 20 points in the last game...the average was only 20.6 points per game.
Although the rebounds are still easily in double figures and he can average 20+10 All-Star statistics per game, it seems particularly abrupt when it comes to Wang Zelin.
You know, Wang Zelin's average data per game last season was 40+20!
Although everyone knows that the reason why Wang Zelin did this is to share the cake with the rest of his teammates by sacrificing playing time and data, but compared with the sparse and ordinary 20+10, Jokic misses the frequent performance of last season even more. Killer King Zelin with 50+ and 60+ in a single game.
Therefore, when the other Blazers players saw their boss's expression getting colder and colder, they did not feel nervous, but instead were filled with expectations.
Is that omnipotent God of Death coming back again?
The Trail Blazers attacked, but Jokic was not there after halftime.
Then provide support from the high position, and instead form the left and right corners with Ade, opening up space for Wang Zelin who is holding the ball.
Wang Zelin didn't hesitate, took a step on the wing, and used his height to pull out in front of Antetokounmpo.
The trajectory of the basketball was a little crooked after being released, and there was a sigh from the Blazers fans in front of the TV.
On the contrary, the Bucks fans in the stands were flushed as if they had been shot.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
However, before they could be happy for long, there was a roar from the basket.
I saw Jokic overpowering Mark, grabbing the rebound with one hand, and quickly throwing it out after landing:
"King, continue!"
The rebounding advantage of the Trail Blazers' three-high lineup was fully demonstrated at this moment.
When Wang Zelin was playing singles on the outside, Antetokounmpo, who was responsible for the main defense, had to follow suit. At this time, the Bucks were close to Mark at the basket and how could he steal Jokic and Ade.
Thanks bro!
Looking at the flying basketball, Wang Zelin glanced at Jokic gratefully. After catching the ball, his eyes returned to coldness, and he took another shot against Antetokounmpo.
"Don't think about it!"
Antetokounmpo roared and quickly followed up with a jump, but when he jumped up, he found that there was no one in front of him.
When the camera showed Wang Zelin, he only jumped up on one foot, with his right foot still on the ground.
"You got Fooled!"
Looking at Giannis Antetokounmpo who looked frightened in mid-air, Wang Zelin tilted his mouth, revealed a sinister smile, and then slowly took off...
"Snapped!"
When Antetokounmpo fell, he inevitably bumped into Wang Zelin, and the whistle sounded unexpectedly.
After Wang Zelin was fouled, he used his waist and abdomen for a second time to force the ball in the air.
Following a high arc, the expressions of Kidd and the Bucks fans on the court gradually became horrified, because the ball seemed to be equipped with a positioning missile, and it steadily penetrated into the Bucks basket.
"Shh!"
The three points are valid and there will be an additional penalty.
Barkley covered his face with one hand: "Gift crab! 3+1, Wang is going to score 4 points!"
Smith added: "This is the first 3+1 in the NBA this season. It is easy to see from Giannis's expression that he probably regretted it."
But at this time, Barkley smiled mysteriously: "Rather than whether Giannis will regret it, I am more looking forward to Wang's next performance."
"Oh, what do you say?"
Smith turned his head and looked over curiously.
"Haha, the beast from Portland is coming back to life!"
Bakri looked at Wang Zelin with a cruel and murderous expression on the screen, and his expression became more and more BT.
on the field.
Antetokounmpo looked at the Trail Blazers No. 36 in front of him with horrified eyes.
However, Wang Zelin didn't care about Antetokounmpo's abnormality, but went straight to the free throw line and steadily hit the extra free throw.
28:25, the Blazers lead by 3 points!
In the remaining time of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers showed their strongest trump card, and the game completely turned into Wang Zelin's personal show time!
Wang Zelin turned around and hit the target after double-teaming;
Wang Zelin held the ball in the backcourt and dunked successfully;
Wang Zelin caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-pointer;
Wang Zelin broke through to the basket and scored 2+1 after the confrontation;
……
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers turned away and led the Bucks by 42 points, 36:6.
After returning from the timeout, Wang Zelin scored 5 points in a row in just 14 minutes and scored 23 points in a single quarter, showing his true qualities as the league's No. 1!
In the second quarter, both sides entered rotation.
The Bucks were in really good shape tonight, and the substitute players played very well. During the rest period of the main team, they firmly took advantage of the score.
The score between the two sides came to 57:50, and the Bucks were only 7 points behind.
Entering the second half of the second quarter, the Bucks called a timeout first and replaced the main players one by one.
The Trail Blazers are here, Aldridge continues to rest, and Wang Zelin takes the field with a full-shooter lineup of Jokic, Beverley, Curry, and Yi Jianlian.
This lineup can maximize the space on the court and allow Wang Zelin to unleash his personal abilities.
After the timeout, the Bucks attack first.
Irving and Giannis Antetokounmpo moved in the pick-and-roll. Antetokounmpo's pick-and-roll was not of high quality this time. When Irving took the ball, Yi Jianlian interfered with the ball and hit the front spring and came out.
After all, the time for the two to get along was too short.
Jokic kept the defensive rebound, and the Trail Blazers directly launched a defensive counterattack. Wang Zelin opened his long legs and took the lead. Beverley and Curry were both walking fast at the same time. Wang Zelin threw the ball to the closer Curry.
Curry took two steps and made a long pass to Wang Zelin at the front. After receiving the ball, Wang Zelin accelerated and shook off Brogdon, without giving the latter any chance to block, and directly made a one-handed dunk.
"boom!"
Wang Zelin's dunk really made the rim buzz.
A powerful and heavy slam!
It was also his 25th point tonight.
59: 50.
"MVP!"
"Our scoring champion is back!"
"This is the Wang Zelin I am familiar with!"
"The omnipotent scoring machine is back!"
……
On the hotline, countless Wang Mi have begun to shout in unison.
They have long been fed up with Wang Zelin's fishing performance in the first three games, but he can't paddle anymore.
Brother, don’t forget that you said you would surpass Michael Jordan. What’s going on with this performance now?
Could it be that I got tired of winning too many championships, and my mentality changed and I became a salty fish?
Countless Wang Mi’s hearts are full of hatred, but now seeing Wang Zelin return to his familiar scoring champion posture, this is really indescribable excitement!
Your king is back!
Antetokounmpo reached the basket and was determined to dunk, but Wang Zelin blocked the block and grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Bucks retreated in time this time and did not give the Trail Blazers a chance to directly counterattack.
Falling into a positional battle, Wang Zelin held the ball in singles. Antetokounmpo hurriedly lifted it up. Wang Zelin took two tentative steps, decisively accelerated to the right, and made a mindless dive.
Looking at Wang Zelin rushing up, Antetokounmpo gritted his teeth and hurriedly moved sideways.
However... at the moment when Wang Zelin and Antetokounmpo were in close contact, he suddenly collected the ball and changed lanes, took a step to the left, then turned around and went to the basket, successfully scoring the ball.
The 27th point in a single game!
61: 50.
Antetokounmpo only felt a gust of wind blowing past him very quickly. When he came back to his senses...
Wang Defa?
He...was used as a stake?
Wang Zelin's incredible silky turn shocked the audience.
The boards of Newton's coffin can hardly hold it down. This is completely contrary to physics!
You know, it is very difficult to forcefully change the inertia, especially for big men.
Wang Zelin's agility was different from that of a seven-foot-long man, and once again shocked everyone's jaws.
Smith covered his face with one hand: "I unilaterally declare that no matter what happens to Wang from now on, I think it is reasonable."
Barkley, on the other hand, seemed not surprised, simply because... he had long been numb to Wang Zelin's magic.
On the Trail Blazers bench, coach Terry lamented: "I seem to have unleashed an incredible monster."
David Vanderpool, who was already stunned, nodded.
At this moment, neither of them had any doubts about Wang Zelin's switch to small forward.
Perhaps playing like Wang Zelin is the answer to the development of modern basketball!
In fact, if Wang Zelin had not appeared, Antetokounmpo would have become the first athlete to change people's perception of basketball in history. And after his rise, within a few years, a more cross-generational future warrior would appear in the NBA— —Victor Vunbanyama!
Therefore, the speculations of the two men are not wrong. The future development trajectory of the NBA does tend to be towards senior players, but it is different from traditional senior players. Expert media believe that those who will dominate the NBA in the future are all-round senior players with no blind spots in technical style.
Keke, get back to business.
Seeing that Antetokounmpo was unable to attack for a long time, Irving decided to personally break the team's scoring drought. The point difference between the two sides had reached 11 points. If the Trail Blazers continued to expand the point difference, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.
Irving held the ball and attacked the basket, but Beverley gave him a lot of confrontation.
In the end, Irving used a super large pull rod to avoid Beverley and create space for himself, but at the moment he took action.
Wang Zelin jumped into the air from behind him.
"Snapped!"
Another big hat that blocks the sky and the sun!
And once again grabbed a defensive rebound!
The Bucks Gemini fell into the hands of the same person consecutively, and the fans at the scene couldn't help but howl.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Trail Blazers counterattack!
Curry has excellent off-ball awareness and takes the lead.
Seeing this, Wang Zelin, who is also a skilled man, was bold and made a long pass directly from the backcourt, which surprised everyone.
Little Curry caught the ball comfortably, stood firm at the top of the arc in the frontcourt, and hit a slightly adjusted chasing three-pointer!
64:50, after returning from the timeout, the Trail Blazers played a wave of flow, directly opening the point difference to 14 points!
Bucks coach Kidd was decisive and reached out to call a timeout.
Wang Zelin's continuous outburst instantly broke the stalemate on the court.
Not only that, with Wang Zelin's single-point blast, it became easier for other Blazers players to score. Curry's three-pointer and one sword pierced the throat, making Kidd completely unable to hold back.
After the timeout, Kidd brought all the other three main players on the court in advance. Looking at the picture, he really wanted to win tonight.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a normal thing. The Trail Blazers lineup this season is unprecedentedly luxurious. Before the start of the season, many media set the Blazers' regular season goal for this season at 80 wins, which is enough to see It shows how much the outside world is looking forward to this Trail Blazers.
Under such circumstances, whoever can defeat the Trail Blazers will definitely be recorded in history!
Irving was a lot more cautious when he came back. Through constant pick-and-rolls and screens, he finally found an opportunity to beat Curry in isolation, breaking the scoring drought for the Mosaic team.
52: 64.
Coach Terry shook his head. The all-shooter lineup was not good at this point, and the defense was easily targeted.
However, he had expected all this, not to mention that the purpose of sending this lineup was not defense, but offense, the ultimate offense!
Sure enough, looking back, Wang Zelin also found the wrong position to hit Mark through the pick-and-roll... Well, with Wang Zelin's current abnormal physical condition, anyone he hits will be out of position.
When playing against Mark alone, Wang Zelin passed his opponent with a simple acceleration, got to the basket and hit a layup after a confrontation.
66:52, the point difference remains the same.
This dampened the morale the Bucks had just raised.
Not only that, looking back at Irving's sudden score, Brogdon made a mistake in catching the ball and the ball went directly out of bounds!
The scene was agitated, and downtown Bucks continued to be depressed.
This goal intuitively reflects the gap between the Bucks and the Trail Blazers in terms of tactical coordination.
Trail Blazers attack.
Wang Zelin took the initiative to serve the sideline ball, directly passed a long pass to the opponent's basket, and assisted Yi Jianlian to complete the alley-oop.
This goal was full of imagination, catching the entire Bucks team off guard, and it was breathtaking.
What is even more impressive is Wang Zelin who sent this top ten pass.
Facts have proved that when Trail Blazers No. 36 wants to score, he is still the omnipotent scoring machine!
68:52, the point difference was pulled to 16 points.
When Irving's magical touch in the first quarter is gone, how will the Bucks resist the Blazers' violent offensive next? (End of chapter)
