Chapter 272 Cap, see cap again!
During the break, Terry Stotts pulled out the tactical board, not wanting to waste a second.
Similar to the previous game, the Trail Blazers got off to a strong start, but later fell into the Spurs' offensive rhythm, and then got out of control.
Obviously, the performance of the Blazers is not bad. So far, they have scored 71 points in total, and their efficiency has reached the average level since the playoffs. However, the performance of the Spurs is even better.
The characteristic of the Spurs is that they score evenly, and no one scores more abruptly, especially when there are always role players who can stand up and score.
And this is precisely the scariest part, because it means that the team's defensive strategy before the game has once again become useless.
Terry Stotts knows that this game must be won, and if he loses, he will fall behind 0:3. The confidence of the players and the morale of the team will drop to the lowest point since the start of the playoffs.
At that time, it will be even more difficult to win a victory!
"In the fourth quarter, we must first maintain the intensity of defense. Defense wins the championship is the only truth in the NBA playoffs. At this time, the opponent must think that we will give up, but we just don't. Hold on. If you don't have confidence in yourself, then this game is really over!"
"As for the attack..."
At this time, Terry Stotts has not made many tactical adjustments. The most important thing is to stabilize the players' emotions and fighting spirit.
After listening, Lillard and Wang Zelin looked at each other.
"Are you tired, bro?" Lillard asked.
"What nonsense, my strength is beyond your imagination!" Wang Zelin replied with a smile.
"Me too." Lillard smiled suddenly, pointing to the Spurs bench: "But those old guys are different."
"This game should be the one where we put the most defensive intensity. They can still play such a terrible offense, and the consumption must be a lot. Just like Coach Terry said, keep the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, and we definitely have a chance to come back."
After speaking, Lillard clenched his right fist and stretched it out.
"Of course, we won't be the first to collapse. I have always believed in this!"
Wang Zelin also stretched out his fist, touched it, and then looked in the direction of the Spurs, his eyes were in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
How could my first Western Conference Finals end like this?
……
The whistle of the final game was blown soon, and the short intermission ended.
Wang Zelin patted Aldridge on the shoulder and stepped onto the court again.
The Blazers players returned to the game, and the cheers on the scene were obviously not high. Maybe many fans have given up in their hearts.
They should just be thinking: The Trail Blazers are just a young team, it's already great to reach the Western Conference Finals, the team is already great, there is no need to be so demanding on young people.
But what the fans don't know is that although most of the Trail Blazers players are young, they can always spur themselves with the most demanding requirements!
Crazy for war, until death!
Until the last moment, the word "abandon" never appeared in their dictionary.
"The game continues. Parker, the youngest player in the Spurs' GDP, continues to play. Tim and Manu are resting off the court. Audience friends, Tim has scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists today. It's crazy! But we must admit that he is already 37. Fortunately, the 14-point difference can temporarily relieve this veteran."
"Let's look at the other side. It seems that Wang and Damien are still high-spirited. Maybe this is the vitality of young people. But there is one thing to say, sometimes fighting spirit is not enough. The first offense is the Blazers. Let's see if the Blazers can narrow the gap this time."
On the court, Lillard came to control the ball steadily. Although he was behind, his brain was extremely calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, showing the demeanor of a general.
Seeing this scene, many scouts and media people on the sidelines couldn't help but nodded.
After a brief transition, Lillard handed the ball to Aldridge on the left. Aldridge's defender became Matt Bonner. His defensive ability was far inferior to that of his big brother Tim Duncan, but Aldridge's shot was not accurate.
"Shet!"
As soon as the ball was shot, Aldridge secretly thought that something was wrong. He even hated himself for failing to live up to the expectations of his teammates. At this stage, every attack of the team is very important. He actually...
"Oops! LaMarcus missed the shot. With Duncan resting, the Trail Blazers lost another excellent opportunity to chase points." The home player couldn't help but beat his chest.
"Tim, it seems that your worries are unnecessary. The most stable fourth position of the Blazers, the state has fluctuated."
On the bench, Ginobili lightly poked Duncan with his arm and smiled.
The game is not over yet, and Duncan off the court still has the same indifferent face: "I hope so."
But he felt a little uneasy.
Why is this happening?
Suddenly, Duncan glanced at the back of the Trail Blazers No. 36 returning to defense: Next, what will you do?
Parker catches the ball in the backcourt and advances.
The opponent is not in a hurry, let alone him.
Focusing on the success rate is the strategy Sima Weiqi set for the final quarter during the inter-festival break.
Lillard saw Parker advancing, took the initiative to take a step back, and chose to prevent breakthroughs or prevent shots.
今天帕克是马刺得分唯一突破20的球员，17投9中得到22分，但他三分命中率一般，仅有3投1中……
Sure enough, Lillard just took a step back, and Parker broke through without hesitation after approaching the three-point line!
After so many handoffs, Lillard began to get used to Parker's rhythm, the defensive prediction was in place, he moved his feet in time, and used excellent footwork to compress Parker's breakthrough space, but Leonard came up to block Lillard!
After the pick-and-roll, Batum guarded the right side of the three-second zone, Leonard cut in from the center, and Lillard hurriedly chased after him. At this time, Splitter pulled out from the center. When Leonard blocked Lillard, Parker saw this and lobbed the ball to the center...
At the basket, Wang Zelin saw Leonard rushing in and was about to step forward to block him. When he saw Parker's lob, he sprayed out the national curse "I love you to death".
Are you playing with flowers?
Alley-oop, right?
I won't let you pick it up!
"Get out of the way!"
Terry Stotts on the sidelines stood up excitedly and roared.
No matter how cautious Wang Zelin is, he is still four criminals. As the absolute main force, he should protect himself.
"What? Wang didn't choose to dodge, he wanted to block!"
"But Wang's ball is hard to defend! Kawhi Leonard's cutting space is too good, no surprises, this will be a violent dunk! Oh, Kawhi Leonard took off, slammed and dunked with one arm, straight to the Blazers' basket!"
"Oh! My God! Wang took off, and he jumped on the spot! His reaction is so fast, and the bullet speed is so fast, like a rocket soaring into the sky, straight up! Can he interfere?"
The shouts of the home commentary came one after another, and Leonard on the offensive side was a little surprised, but more still felt the anger of being underestimated.
Do you just look down on me like that?
He actually wanted to jump in place to block the shot!
No matter how unanimously the outside world thinks that Leonard is an excellent Spurs successor, after all, it can be seen from his icy face.
But don't forget, the current Leonard is still a young guy in his early 20s after all, they are all young people, who still has a fire in his heart!
Not to mention that the target of Leonard's upcoming dunk is recognized as the strongest of the younger generation.
Heavenly boy, become my background board!
At this moment, Leonard clearly felt that a fire in his heart was erupting.
Just when the basketball was within easy reach of the hoop, a yellow palm appeared between the two...
"Snapped!"
Loud bangs spread across the stadium.
"BLOCK!!! BLOCK!!!
Wang did it, he sacrificed his third personal block of the game!This behemoth at the basket seems to be telling the Spurs that the game is not over yet~~~It's incredible!This ball is too morale-boosting! "
Was ~ covered?
Even Lunrad, who is known for his inner strength, was stunned at this time, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
Leonard, who has been around for 13 years, has not experienced the subsequent injuries such as stepping, and his athletic ability is still at the peak of his career.
As the No. 15 pick in the first round, he mainly plays small forwards. Although his ability to block dunks is not as good as James' historical level, it is still at the same level in today's league.
Such a good position!Such a wonderful time to cut in... He was blocked?
"rush!"
Suddenly, a roar came from his ear, which brought Leonard back to his senses in an instant. Just as he buried his head and ran to the frontcourt, there was a "clang" and it exploded on the Spurs' basket.
Looking up, I realized that at some point, there was a yellow figure hanging from the basketball hoop, and the number on the back of the jersey was clearly written...
He is No. 36 of the Blazers ~ Wang Zelin!
At 73:85, the Trail Blazers recovered 2 points.
"The Trail Blazers counterattacked successfully! Look at the fans at the scene, they are cheering for their king!"
Clifford Robinson thought to himself: Here comes the opportunity!
Duncan's mood fluctuated a little off the court, and he was about to get up when he thought of something and turned his head to look in the direction of Sima Weiqi.
I saw Sima Weiqi pondering for a while, shaking his head slightly at his proudest disciple: "Tim, trust Tony, next time your teammate."
"Ah."
Sima Weiwei is worthy of being another pinnacle of the Spurs, who can convince the players with just one word.
As for the other root, of course it is Tim Duncan.
Parker pushed again.
"Follow up!"
Wang Zelin roared at the basket, which lifted the spirits of his teammates.
The big hat just now boosted the Blazers' fighting spirit, like a drowning person seeing a driftwood floating in the distance, and the desire to survive overwhelmed the fear of death.
Parker once again made a tactical gesture of pulling away.
Are you going to break through again?
Seeing this, Wang Zelin raised his hand, took a step below the free throw line, and emptied Split.
When Parker, who was about to break through, saw it, he immediately wondered whether to continue to break through, or to pass?
This is the pick-and-roll tactic has started, Matt Bonner has come to do the pick-and-roll, he must immediately decide.
The pick-and-roll happened, and Parker went around the wall and broke into the paint.
Wang Zelin stepped forward with his left foot and stepped on the free throw line. Parker was not afraid at all, and went up to him. A spinning top turned and passed Wang Zelin.
"Pretty!"
This gorgeous move made the home commentator couldn't help admiring.
After turning around, Parker saw Splitter, who was empty under the basket, and immediately chose to pass the ball.
There are too many vacancies, and the opportunities are so good that I can't help myself.
Parker's jersey was shot, Wang Zelin turned around instantly, Steel Tower's left foot on the free throw line slammed, and then took a step towards the basket.
Taking another step with his right foot, Wang Zelin took advantage of the momentum and soared into the sky.
No one could have imagined that it was already the fourth quarter, and Wang Zelin could still make such a quick and quick response.
Isn't he tired?
In fact, this vacancy was a hole he left for Parker on purpose, and he had long been prepared to just return to defense.
Parker's assists have reached 10, and the point difference is still 12 points. It is not ruled out that he wants to make his personal data more luxurious.
After all, the point difference between the two teams is quite large, and Parker can afford it.
On the right side of the basket, Splitter jumped up excitedly, catching the ball with both hands, ready to hit the basket.
Splitter's current personal score is exactly 9 points. As long as this goal can be scored, the score can be in double figures. As a role player, scoring in double figures in the playoffs is indeed a great honor in his personal career history.
But at this moment, a stumbling block appeared in the sky.
I felt a figure approaching, and a big hand appeared behind Splitter's head very abruptly, and pressed it on the basketball.
"Give it to me~ get out!"
Wang Zelin pushed down Splitter with a single dribble.
"Oh!"
Splitter hit the floor and the ball hit his foot and rolled out of bounds.
"what!!!!"
The Rose Garden Arena boiled instantly, and the cheers of the fans suddenly rose from the trough to the sky.
Blocking the Spurs' offense for two consecutive rounds, how can we not move the fans.
"A horrific blood cap happened. Wang directly hit Splitter with the ball on the floor. It was so cruel!"
Clifford Robinson's hysterical roar infected everyone watching the game.
"You are a bunch of shit, look what you have done? I am better than you on the court! Back to defense! Why are you standing there, why don't you hurry back to defense!"
On the sidelines, Sima Weiqi roared angrily, the team's past few rounds were really terrible.
"Brothers, it's time to fight back!"
Passing by Sima Weiwei, hearing the other party's roar, Wang Zelin raised his right fist high, raised his head and roared.
His roar infected the fans on the sidelines, causing the audience to roar, and the sound of "counterattack" immediately spread throughout the Rose Garden Arena!
"Damn bastard! Damn! Damn..."
Seeing a rookie dare to follow him against him, Sima Weiqi felt offended and his teeth itch with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Who made this their home field!
"The momentum is up! The pioneers are up!"
Trail Blazers attack.
Lillard came to the scene and was just about to make tactical gestures when he suddenly saw Wang Zelin waving to him...
Alright, big brother has spoken, let's deal the cards!
I went out to drink fake wine with my old friend yesterday, and my mind is buzzing. I will make up the missing chapter as soon as possible.
