NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - Vol 2 Chapter 1019
The coaches of the two sides battled wits and courage, and even adjusted their play styles could not help each other.
The game has entered the last minute countdown, and the two sides have reached a 134 tie. The players began to frequently hand the ball to the core on the offensive end.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin was double-teamed in the low post and sent the ball to the outside line. Whether Batum’s open opportunity could be grasped, the ball bounced out of the frame.
Capela, Anthony, and Ariza rushed towards Wang Zelin immediately. They didn’t even look at the backboard, they just wanted to block Wang Zelin.
Jokic and Batum quickly shrunk to the basket, and when they were about to receive the basketball, a player wearing the No. 10 mosaic away jersey suddenly appeared behind them.
Eric Gordon!
He actually grabbed the rebound first, leaving the Garden Tavern to become a little irritable. There was not much time left, and this rebound was likely to determine the victory of the game.
“Beautiful! Give James the ball!”
D’Antoni yelled excitedly.
The mosaic bench was also elated, and all the role players got up and waved towels frantically, venting their inner excitement.
Mosaic ball.
The teammates pulled away to allow Harden to play singles. After dribbling the ball continuously under the crotch, he took a step to the left, then changed direction abruptly, changed to the right, and successfully passed Batum.
Entering the paint area, Harden attracted double-teams and gave the ball to Ariza, who made a two-pointer easily, 136:134.
The Trail Blazers trailed by two points, with 41 seconds remaining, and Coach Terry called the final timeout.
At this time, he chose to trust Wang Zelin unconditionally!
Coach Terry arranged a double pick-and-roll to help Wang Zelin catch the ball, and entrusted him: “Time is running out. If you have a chance, you can shoot. If you can’t make a shot, you can use foul tactics. Wang, it’s up to you.”
“no problem!”
Wang Zelin responded loudly.
The home fans stopped discussing and watched the game quietly. Everyone was thinking about the same question: Can Wang Zelin score the ball?
“The Trail Blazers are about to launch a very critical attack. If they don’t see each other this week, they can only use foul tactics. It is likely that Wang Zelin will execute it. The opponent of this attack must know this very well.”
Mike Mahon raised his pitch at this time, sped up his speech, and his tone was a little excited.
Partner Jeff Van Gundy shook his head: “Except for Wang Zelin, the other four positions of the Trail Blazers have range threats, which is likely to cause other uncertainties in their final attack.”
The moment he returned to the field, Wang Zelin’s adrenaline soared and his blood boiled. His heart was beating very fast, he was a little excited, and a little excited…but he was not nervous!
For the Mosaic team, to strengthen the defense of the penalty area, Anthony was not there. The 2.1-meter-tall “lonely fighter” Nene was replaced on the field and guarded the basket with Capela.
At the beginning of the game, just after halftime, Wang Zelin was accompanied by two mosaic players every time he moved without the ball. D’Antoni counted the Blazers’ key attack and handed it to Wang Zelin, and first chose to let go of an open space.
Of course, he put two points instead of three.
He can still tell which is more important.
Seeing the passage of time, the Trail Blazers found an opportunity to play the tactics just arranged. Wang Zelin first used Batum’s cover to get rid of Ariza, and on the way from the bottom corner to the high position, Jokic blocked Nene with an off-ball screen and successfully received Lillard’s pass.
With 32 seconds left, the moment Wang Zelin received the ball, Capela kept in mind the principle that the coach said “Wang Zelin cannot be released if he is killed”, and decisively left Connet Lee and rushed over.
Faced with Capela’s lunge, Wang Zelin was highly concentrated, not looking at his teammates or the defender, his only thought was to shoot.
He took a step sideways with the ball, stopped and jumped at the free throw line, and looked at the top of the basket.
Capela followed suit, and his hands had completely covered Wang Zelin’s face, and if he got closer to half a centimeter, his fingers were about to penetrate his eyeballs.
But Wang Zelin turned a blind eye, just like in training, he completed the standard shooting action, and the ball left his fingertips.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts were raised in their throats.
Some home fans close their eyes and dare not watch, for fear of missing the shot, and the team will be at an extremely disadvantageous position.
“Catch the ball, he threw it…” Mahon yelled.
Capela’s defense has reached the extreme, and he is even suspected of fouling, but the referee has not blown his whistle for a long time.
One of the unspoken rules of the NBA, the last moment is often left to the players themselves to solve.
The basketball flies to the hoop, and many people are ready to think about rebounding.
With a sound of “shua”, the ball went into the net hollowly.
136:136, tied again.
“nice shot!”
This unprecedented fierce matchup since the new season made Ma Hong a fan of Wang Zelin on the spot. He didn’t want the Blazers to lose, and the team needed Wang Zelin at this time.
Van Gundy Jr. smiled and said: “This is the charm of a superstar! Wang once again put the Blazers in trouble, and now let’s see how the Mosaic team will attack?”
The Blazers home court was completely detonated by a complete goal, and the fans stood up from their seats, raising their arms and shouting.
Home fans don’t want to see the Blazers’ undefeated golden stature broken. They haven’t lost a game so far this season!
Even knowing that such a winning streak cannot last forever and will end sooner or later, it is naturally best to win one more game.
D’Antoni also called the last timeout, with 30 seconds left in the game, the Mosaic team had plenty of time to complete the final attack.
When he was off the field, everyone on the team stepped forward and applauded Wang Zelin to celebrate.
Wang Zelin is very calm, but the equalizer has not yet won, and he thinks it is not yet the time to be happy.
D’Antoni replaced Capela with Anthony. Capela played 41 minutes tonight. He had to confront Wang Zelin at the basket from time to time. His physical fitness had already collapsed. If it weren’t for his strong willpower, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
This move has also strengthened the offense on the periphery. With Harden and Anthony, two super scorers, the Mosaic team’s final lore chance will theoretically double.
After the timeout is over, D’Antoni’s tactic is to use up the remaining time to hit a success rate, and must not leave too much time for the opponent to attack.
Harden handles the ball on the outside, he can attack by himself, or he can split the ball after the pick-and-roll.
Nene’s long-range shooting ability is approximately equal to 0, and it was thanks to Capela’s lack of physical fitness that he was replaced on the field, which allowed Wang Zelin to target the outside line of the Mosaic team unscrupulously.
Until the last 8 seconds, seeing that there was no chance from the outside line, Harden chose to trust Nene in the short corner on the left side of the basket for the sake of success rate.
Although the long distance is not good, Nene’s middle distance is still possible, and this distance is within his effective attack area.
However, Nene, who hadn’t touched the ball much throughout the game, didn’t dare to shoot after receiving the ball, obviously lacking in confidence.
He observed his teammates move, the last 6 seconds passed to Ariza.
In 5 seconds, Anthony and Ariza played a pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin returned to the defense in time, and Ariza passed the ball to Anthony.
This pass awareness is too obvious, and the pass is not high enough. Wang Zelin rushed over like a hungry tiger and intercepted the ball in advance.
“Steal it! Wang Zelin completed the steal…” Ma Hong was so excited that he jumped up, but he didn’t stop talking. “There are still 11 seconds left. The Trail Blazers have the ball. They have a chance to win the game!”
On the field, Wang Zelin was double-teamed after completing the steal and quickly passed it to Lillard.
There is no pause on either side.
Lillard dribbles quickly across half court, waiting for his teammates to settle.
The lore opportunity was missed, and the whole team of Mosaic regretted it, especially Nene. At this moment, he was full of regret, and he should have shot decisively just now.
But now, it’s too late to say anything.
The opportunity to determine life and death has been grasped by the Trail Blazers. Once this opportunity is seized, there will be no need for two overtime.
It’s time for this game to come to an end.
In less than 4 seconds, all the Trail Blazers players passed halftime and settled down.
In the last 7 seconds, Wang Zelin got out from under the basket with multiple covers from his teammates.
In 6 seconds, he received the pass at the top of the arc.
The countdown to the game is getting closer and closer, and the scene is getting more and more noisy.
The fans can’t wait, after fighting for so long, they can’t wait to see the final fatal blow.
The score between the two sides was tied at 136. The Trail Blazers only need to score one goal, even if it is two points, they can win the game.
At this time, the offensive player has reached the hands of the most suitable player.
For 5 seconds, Wang Zelin still kept his sideways posture against the defender holding the ball with one hand, and the live camera gave him a close-up of his face. There is no expression on Wang Zelin’s face at this moment, because you don’t know what emotion he is in.
At this moment, his heart is still, and there is only one thought in his mind-defending the home court!
In 4 seconds, Wang Zelin suddenly accelerated and finally broke through! Nene pushed forward immediately, and Anthony and Ariza adjusted their defensive positions nervously, ready to make up for the penalty area at any time.
Just when everyone thought Wang Zelin was about to force a breakthrough, he withdrew his pace and returned to the three-point line…
“What!? He wants to shoot a three-pointer? But obviously two points can also be a lore!?”
That’s right, this is Wang Zelin’s most confident and craziest choice of a lore shot! He wants to use his most infrequent three-point shot in the past to end the game!
Since the opposite party has made it clear that they want to block themselves on the breakthrough route, why do they have to go in first?
With his shot height, he can be called an enhanced version of Durant. When defending one-on-one, opponents can only pray that he doesn’t feel good. Defense and the like have never had any impact on the real super scorer.
I saw Wang Zelin put his right foot back outside the three-point line, then bowed his waist, squatted slightly, and pulled out his hand!
Nene straightened his arms and sealed it, but the fighter was surprised to find that Wang Zelin was so calm and expressionless when he executed this crucial throw, but his eyes were full of extreme bloodthirsty!
It has been more than ten years since he entered the league in 2002. He has only seen a similar appearance on that No. 24, that black mamba known for its bloodthirsty… I don’t know why, Nene suddenly has a bad feeling premonition.
Wang Zelin pulled out his hand dryly, and when the basketball flew to the highest point, the red light on the backboard also lit up. The mosaic players on and off the court hurriedly looked towards the basket, but it happened to be the most desperate scene in this life-the basketball fell into the net!
In!
“Go in! Lore! Buzzer lore! Incredible three-point lore! Hahahaha, Wang Zelin didn’t choose to enter the three-point line at the last moment, but chose to kill it with a pull-up jumper outside the three-point line. Game! God, no, in Portland, Wang Zelin is God!”
“Perhaps many people are wondering, what kind of strong self-confidence is it that makes Wang Zelin choose to end the battle in this way? Is it a bit unreasonable not to choose when there are more reasonable two points?
But as we’ve seen now…fuck the shit, there’s nothing unreasonable in front of real superstars, real natural killers, and the most dangerous players in the league!
Because of his existence, this is the biggest unreasonable thing! ! ”
The roars of Ma Hong and Van Gundy resounded throughout the audience, and through the broadcast equipment, they quickly spread to the countless fans who were watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the screen.
yes!
Why must we be obsessed with what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?
The existence of that man is the biggest irrationality in the world!
This great battle is finally over!
Congratulations to the Trail Blazers for becoming the final winner!
Now, let all fans follow the Trail Blazers and enjoy the joy of victory.
The cries of the commentator and the cheers of countless fans were completely intertwined at this moment, forming the most wonderful lore atmosphere.
After hitting the winning goal, the on-site camera once again showed Wang Zelin a close-up of his face. This time, people were surprised to find that the man who was as cold as an iceberg just now was erupting with enthusiasm like a volcano.
At this moment, his smile is as bright as the stars!
But in the corner where no one was paying attention, at the moment when the lore shot was hit, the expressions of Harden and Anthony were completely frozen, until the cheers on the scene suddenly burst, until they looked back and saw the smile on Wang Zelin’s face, the two subconsciously They looked at each other and finally smiled.
The difference is that these unlucky brothers have bitter smiles.
Before the game, all the reporters had a reserved and unfavorable attitude towards Mosaic, as if they were destined to be the background board of the Trail Blazers forever.
During the game, the whole team of Mosaic knew their shame and bravely tried their best. Anthony scored a three-pointer to tie it.
However, the ultimate big boss appeared!
Another hot man, the hot man who has dominated the league for three full years, suddenly descended like a Tathagata Palm from above the clouds, knocking the players of the Mosaic team back from their beautiful fantasy to the cruel reality.
At the last moment, Wang Zelin mercilessly killed the game with a three-pointer at the buzzer, turning the Mosaic team into a tragic background once again!
After a whole night of fighting, but in the end, it still falls short, so what is my hard work worth?
Perhaps, as Jeff Van Gundy said, the existence of that guy is the biggest unreasonable thing!
Harden shook his head slightly, turned and left the Rose Garden with a sad expression.
