Chapter 104 Yellow...Chocolate (600 monthly tickets for additional updates!)(2/2)
There is nothing worse than killing someone and killing one's heart!
This dunk directly stopped the Mosaic team.
"Let me teach you what it means to lead people with the ball!"
Noticing the surprise in Harden's eyes, Wang Zelin couldn't help but mocked.
"snort!"
Harden snorted and turned to walk to the bench.
The loss of morale cannot be recovered with a simple pause.
Not everyone has the ability to be like Rivers, at least the opposite Kelvin McHale doesn't have this ability.
The Trail Blazers completely dominated the game on both the offensive and defensive ends. For the entire quarter, although Harden wanted to kill the enemy, he was ultimately unable to fight back.
The Trail Blazers led 33 to 17 in a single quarter, leading by 16 points entering the second quarter.
Compared with the first match between the two teams, the Mosaic team collapsed faster and died more miserably in this battle.
In the first quarter, Lillard scored 11 points, Aldridge scored 8 points, and Batum and teammate Matthews scored 9 points together.
But the biggest contributor must be Wang Zelin.
4 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, the statistics are breathtaking.
On the other hand, for the Mosaic team, Harden made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points. It can be said that he single-handedly carried the team forward.
"Coach, what should we do next?"
Harden, who was extremely hesitant, put the last straw on coach Kevin McHale.
Last year, through an excellent interview, McHale, who had little coaching experience, defeated Devin Casey and Lawrence Friend, received a formal offer from the Mosaic team's management, and finally became the Mosaic team's coach.
However, there was a lot of opposition to such a hasty decision, both from the media and from local Houston fans.
According to a poll conducted by the Houston newspaper "Fantasy Dance" on McHale's coaching of the Mosaics, a total of 57% of fans believed that McHale had not proven his coaching ability.
This is also true. McHale's playing career was quite brilliant, but his coaching career was quite mediocre.
"Ask me what to do, how do I know what to do?"
"You can't let me play, can you?"
Of course, when faced with the question of the star player, McHale certainly couldn't answer that way. He didn't want to lose his job yet.
"James, at this time the team can only rely on you. You are our best player. I believe that under your leadership, the team will have hope to achieve a lead."
McHale's words made Harden completely give up, and his whole face turned blue instantly.
Look, this is not even chicken soup. What is this nonsense?
How can the team play well under such a head coach?
For a time, Harden's ambitions when he first came to Houston were hit hard.
No, I want to get a giant too!
Otherwise, I will never win against No. 36 once in my life.
…
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers lined up their substitute lineup.
As for the Mosaic team, Harden will undoubtedly continue to be assigned to play at this time.
The two sides fought fiercely for half a quarter, and the official timeout came.
Harden led the bench to give everything they had and hit a 12:5 offensive climax, with the score becoming 38:29.
The Mosaic team is only 9 points behind.
"James, I have long said that you can do it. If you stick to it, the team will definitely win."
Seeing that the score was already close to within 10 points, McHale wiped away his previous decadent mood and felt as if he had been given a shot of blood.
I wonder who dares to say that I don’t know tactics.
At this time, why doesn't handing the ball to the strongest player count as a tactic?
While McHale was lost in his inner world, he didn't notice Harden, who was exhausted physically and mentally, looking at him with eyes full of disgust and impatience.
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers put on their full lineup. Harden continued his unsolvable offense, and Batum couldn't guard him at all.
But in the face of the Trail Blazers' multiple blooms, Harden is still unable to stand alone.
Wang Zelin, Aldridge, and Lillard worked together in a continuous surge and launched an 11:4 attack wave. The Trail Blazers quickly expanded the point difference to 16 points again.
With two minutes left in the first half, McHale took another timeout, but this time everyone on the Mosaic team was silent, and a dignified atmosphere permeated the entire bench.
At halftime, the Trail Blazers returned to the locker room with a 13-point lead at 54:41.
After two quarters, Wang Zelin had 6 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, plus 4 turnovers.
At this time, Wang Zelin was still immersed in the art of passing and could not extricate himself. He ranked first in the team with 6 assists.
"Good boy! Well done, the victory tonight will definitely belong to us."
The current situation is excellent, and Coach Terry's passionate speech spread throughout the locker room.
Even if Wang Zelin didn't follow the pre-game tactical arrangements on the court, Coach Terry didn't bother to take it to heart.
Victory can cover up all shortcomings!
On the other hand, the teammates began to shift their focus to Wang Zelin's 6 assists.
"Wang, you may achieve a triple-double in this game!"
Lillard looked at Wang Zelin's data eagerly, his face full of envy.
Triple double!
In today's era, its gold content is still frighteningly high, and it is still data that can be encountered but not obtained.
"Yeah?"
After such a reminder, Wang Zelin suddenly realized that he was really not far away from his first career triple-double.
"30 rebounds in a single game!"
"I'm about to get a triple-double in a single game!"
"King, what is there that you can't do?"
Hixon looked at Wang Zelin's eyes, as if he was looking at a god.
"Don't envy brother, it's just a legend!"
"By the way, please call me yellow chocolate from now on!"
Regarding Wang Zelin's stinky fart, his teammates did not refute it anymore, and they were unable to refute it anymore.
Yellow chocolate?
Maybe that's really the case.
Chapter completed!
