NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 589: No Missing Bullets, 30 Points at Halftime

28: 27.

There are 17 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

The Blazers had the ball. At this time, they were still one point behind the Spurs. Coach Terry called a timeout and arranged the final attack.

"Guys, we need a stronger response. The last attack must be scored. Wang, you are in charge of the last attack, is there any problem?"

On the sidelines, Coach Terry was very excited to cheer up the players, and finally his eyes stayed on Wang Zelin.

As his words fell, the eyes of everyone on the Blazers team also shifted over, looking at Wang Zelin expectantly.

"Give me the ball!"

Raising his head, Wang Zelin's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he replied decisively.

"Today's game was really intense!"

"No accident, the last attack will be handled by the king, everyone will wait and see!"

In the commentary seat beside the field, the expressions of the two commentators became more and more excited...

This kind of competition where you come and go and don't give in to each other reminds them of basketball in the 90s.

The players at that time had only one goal in their eyes, and that was to strive for victory with all their strength!
And never give in, never give up!

This, this is the performance that basketball should have most!

beep~~

The timeout is over and the game is back.

Lillard received the sideline ball, and after some simple transmission, the ball was finally handed over to Wang Zelin.

At the same time, after receiving the pass from Batum, Wang Zelin immediately signaled everyone to pull away, and he wanted to run out of time.

As a leader, he knew what he had to do.

Taking the ball in the middle distance, he glanced at the game time for a while.

Watching the game time slowly pass, until the last 8 seconds left, he slightly controlled the attack time, preparing to overtake the score with this ball, and at the same time defeat Duncan's defense again.

So far in the first quarter of the game, Wang Zelin made 7 of 7 shots, did not miss a goal, and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists. It can be said that no matter who the opponent is tonight, he will blow up the opponent.

Even if the man in front of him is Tim Duncan, it is no exception.

Wang Zelin hit the ball with force, and a guy who was so fast that the photographer might have an afterimage was turned around and stepped back, allowing him to quickly distance himself from Duncan.

Not a Skyhook?

This move was beyond everyone's expectations. Wang Zelin, who had hit 5 of 5 hooks before, chose to use a turnaround jumper to complete the finish in the last attack?
Duncan just hesitated for a moment, stepped forward heavily, and he chose to follow up and defend.

He didn't dare to bet whether Wang Zelin's goal was a fake move?
At the last juncture, he trusted his instinctive judgment.

However, the next moment, he saw a new change in the figure of No. 36 on the opposite side?

"Fake shot, real shot?"

This idea suddenly flashed in Duncan's mind, but at this moment, his body could no longer keep up with the reaction of his brain. When Wang Zelin made a false throw, he chose to fly.

"Shh!"

After tricking Duncan into avoiding the block, Wang Zelin did not change his pivotal foot, then turned around one and a half times, and completed a hook with his body sideways.

At 29:28, the Blazers achieved a go-ahead.

At this point, the scoreboard shows that there are 0.7 seconds left!

0.7 seconds, unless a miracle occurs, it is basically announced that the Spurs have no hope of chasing points.

Duncan served in the backcourt, and Parker just turned around after receiving the ball. With a sound, the referee announced that the first quarter of the game was over.

"Oh my god, what an incredible scoring feast! 20 points in a single quarter! 20 points!!!"

Kenny Smith took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

But beside him, Barkley said excitedly: "It's unbelievable that Wang actually made all 8 shots in the first quarter! Could it be that God is playing in Wang's jersey?"

"Oh!"

"God, is that number 36 the devil?"

"Who can save us?"

"Damn, why can't even Tim guard against him!"

The audience at the scene were all suffocated by Wang Zelin's performance in the first quarter, and they were even more sad than the players on the field.

This sense of despair sent to the heart made the entire AT&T center howl.

When Wang Zelin returned to the bench, the deafening MVP voice rang out.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

At this moment, thousands of Blazers fans at the scene were all proud, and everyone stood up and cheered, applauding Wang Zelin's superb performance in unison!

Wang Zelin at this moment is the God of War in their hearts!
No, even meeting gods and killing gods!Meet the Buddha and kill the Buddha!
Listening to the cheers one after another at the scene, as well as the figures of many fans standing up and raising their hands, Duncan saw them all.

At this time, he unconsciously shook his head.

Are you really old?
He stared blankly at the big screen showing Wang Zelin's amazing data of 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists in the first quarter. His expression was very depressed!

"Tim..."

Seeing this scene, Sima Weiqi put his hand on Duncan's shoulder, wanting to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.

Looking at the statistics in his hand, he was also panicked at the moment.

During the break between the two sides, the news that Wang Zelin scored 8 points on 8-of-20 shooting in the first quarter has quickly become the number one most searched in North America!
It's about to explode outside.

But inside the AT&T Center Arena, Sima Weiqi was taking the time to do ideological work for the players.

Don't look at Wang Zelin playing so fiercely in the first quarter, but he can't be so fierce for the whole game, right?If that's the case, what's the point of him admitting to die tonight?
Fortunately, the San Antonio Spurs are a real team!

This is true whether it is the combat effectiveness on the field or the spiritual will.If you want the Spurs in front of you, don't be so simple.

In terms of toughness, the Spurs will never lose to any team.

Therefore, during the break between festivals, Coach Terry is also actively doing ideological work on the players, reminding everyone again and again to keep everyone from arrogance and impetuosity.

Running fast does not necessarily mean winning, not falling is success!
What's more, they are only one point ahead of their opponents at this time, maybe they can catch up as soon as they come back from the second quarter.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, the Spurs relied on their mature and deep substitute lineup again, and quickly overtook the score.

However, the Trail Blazers' bench is not a vegetarian. The combination of Beverly + Carter + Morrow + Yi Jianlian + Garnett should not be underestimated.

It is obviously unrealistic to widen the gap with just one Ginobili.

The two sides were in a stalemate for most of the quarter, until there were more than three minutes before the end of the first half. Carter ran without the ball in the frontcourt. After the opportunity appeared, he caught the ball and hit a key three-pointer.

46:41, helping the team gain a 5-point lead.

After breaking through the small threshold of 5 points, the Spurs were the first to sit still, and the two main players, Duncan and Parker, were replaced again.

As soon as the two came back, the effect was immediate.

Spurs attack.

Duncan responds at the free throw line, Parker runs on the right wing, then suddenly runs out the wing.

Beverley followed closely, but Parker still got a little room to catch the ball.

"Shh!"

Duncan played the ball at the right time, Parker caught the ball and successfully scored the ball.

"This……"

After catching the ball, Parker's face was not very happy.Because the scoreboard clearly showed that the Spurs only added two points.

This ball, I stepped on the line, it was a long two points!
46:43, the point difference is still three points.

beep-!
At this time, the Blazers also called for a timeout.

After seeing that Parker scored easily as soon as he came up, Coach Terry did not hesitate to replace his three main players.

He doesn't want to give the Spurs any hope of a comeback!
Back on the court, the Blazers attack.

On the first ball, Yi Jianlian mentioned the high position and set up a pick-and-roll for Lillard.

At this time, Wang Zelin happened to cut in from the bottom corner of the right wing, successfully attracting the attention of the three Spurs.

Obviously, the superb performance of scoring 20 points in a single quarter makes Wang Zelin now as long as there is the slightest sign of trouble, the opponent will jump around.

On the outside, Lillard didn't break through after asking for a pick-and-roll, and directly rose from outside the three-point line.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, the ball was missed.

Split rushed towards the landing point, Wang Zelin also turned and rushed over, as did Duncan and Yi Jianlian.

Split took advantage of the situation and was the fastest to pick up the ball first, but the closer to the critical moment, the more a player's patience was tested.

Obviously, Splitter was careless, turned around immediately after picking up the ball, and was about to pass out to Parker to push a fast break.

At this time, Wang Zelin arrived and blocked Split.

As soon as Split stopped, Yi Jianlian immediately forced the former to protect the ball, creating a double-team opportunity for Wang Zelin.

"Diego, here!"

Duncan yelled on the weak side.

But there was no chance, Wang Zelin followed up and completed the double team.

Splitter was forced to join the ball. At this time, Wang Zelin put his hands on it, lifted it up sharply, and snatched the ball very roughly.

"Oh!"

Unable to stand firmly, the center of gravity was lost, and Split fell to the floor all of a sudden.

At this time, Wang Zelin quickly went down and personally took the ball into the audience.

At this time, there was only Belinelli guarding the basket of the Spurs. Looking at the oncoming savage monster, Belinelli couldn't dodge in time, so he had to close his eyes in despair, and then raised his hands for a moment.

It's just that the other side has no idea about it.

Since you dare to stand in my way, be prepared to be destroyed!

With a roar, Wang Zelin rushed into the paint, jumped on one foot, held the ball with both hands, bumped into Belinelli head-on, and smashed the Spurs' basket!
At 48:43, the Blazers regained their lead by 5 points.

"Referee, that bastard fouled just now! He's killing people! Why didn't you blow it? Why didn't you blow it..."

Sima Weiqi roared wildly on the sidelines.

Even the fans of the home team couldn't stand it anymore, booing wildly at the referee on the field.

"Sir, please calm down!"

Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, the referee could only come to the bench for the Spurs to give a warning.

In fact, Wang Zelin's behavior of stealing the ball just now belongs to the category of bragging and not bragging. Considering that this is the Spurs' home court, if it is played in previous games, a foul is indispensable.

However, due to Splitter's reckless behavior in the first quarter, the players on both sides almost faced each other, which made the referee hesitate for a moment just now. In such a moment, Wang Zelin quickly confiscated the ball and pushed the fast broadcast.

By this time, the referee's whistle is not very meaningful.

And the Spurs here.

After hearing the referee's warning, the chattering Sima Weiqi instantly recovered his expression. How could he not know that it is impossible for the referee to pursue a penalty now?
The reason why I chose to vent my emotions on the spot was just to put pressure on the referee, so that the referee can recover from Wang Zelin in the next round.

The Spurs' offense launched again.

Not only did Parker pass the halftime unhurriedly, he was ready to practice positional warfare.

However, this time his opponent has become Beverly, whose defense is more than one grade better than Lillard.

The reason why Beverly is allowed to stay on the court and play a short backcourt combination is for now.

Just after halftime, Beverly chose to press the defense, accompanied by various gambling steals!
However, seemingly thrilling, Beverly never lost his position, which made Parker extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Parker was focused enough, and quickly dribbled and converted, avoiding Beverly's steals one after another.

Finally, with the help of Splitter's pick-and-roll cover, Parker got the opportunity to go straight.

Faced with the current situation, Parker did not hesitate, and decisively accelerated and went straight to the basket.

But Yi Jianlian made a supplementary defense in a timely manner, interrupting Parker's offensive rhythm.

However, Parker didn't panic about this, and handed the ball to Duncan with a clear mind.

Stopping on the left side of the free throw line, Duncan catches the ball and hits the board at a 45-degree angle.

"Bang ~ swish!"

The ball hits the board and goes into the basket.

At 48:45, the point difference was back to the damn three points.

Seeing Duncan who stood up to help the team bite the score, the AT&T Center burst into warm applause and cheers.

But it didn't take long for them to be happy.

The Blazers attacked, Lillard took the ball to the top of the arc, saw Wang Zelin raising his hand inside, and immediately gave it to the penalty area.

In the next moment, Wang Zelin faced Duncan and Splitter's two defenses, turned around and dunked with one hand, ravaging the basket, and at the same time got a chance to add a penalty.

An additional penalty hit, 51:45, and the point difference was pulled to 6 points.

Looking back, Duncan missed a mid-range shot against the supplementary defense, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound, and the Blazers were still playing steadily inside, with Wang Zelin serving as the final endpoint.

After the second quarter, at 58:51, the Spurs were still 7 points behind.

In the first half, Duncan made 9 of 5 shots, Parker made 11 of 5 shots, and Ginobili, who led the bench, made 8 of 4 shots and 3 of 1 three-pointers. The GDP trio felt very good.

However, only the three of them can play well on the Spurs field, and the performance of the other points is very average.

Especially the inside line of the Spurs is about to be overwhelmed by Wang Zelin.

Splitter has made four fouls, Duncan has committed three fouls, and even small forward Belinelli has also committed three fouls.

Barkley explained: "This is the terrifying thing about having a behemoth under the basket. His ability to create damage is terrifying!"

Kenny Smith said: "When Duncan was on the court, it was difficult to restrain Wang Zelin. By the second half, the Spurs would be completely passive. If Duncan was beaten in the third quarter, the Spurs, who had completely lost their inside barriers, could only let the Blazers ask for it."

From the commentary of the two, it can be seen that neither of them has any optimistic ideas about the Spurs winning.

Just look at the number 36 on the opposite side.

首节8投8中独砍20分，此节三分多钟的时间里4投4中又拿到了7分……

仅仅上半场比赛，弹无虚发的王泽林就已经拿到了30分6板3盖帽2助攻1抢断的恐怖数据。

You know, his opponent is the San Antonio Spurs, which ranks in the top five in defensive efficiency in the league!

Even so, he still couldn't stop Wang Zelin who descended from the gods.
