7 seconds!

Lillard moved.

A quick dribble from the hip, two steps to the top of the key, and then an active charge inward, resulting in a physical confrontation with Tony Allen.

The violent impact made Tony Allen groan and he was pushed back half a step.

There are 3 seconds left on the clock.

Lillard seized the opportunity, suddenly took a big step back, and took action decisively.

"Don't even think about it!"

Tony Allen's reaction was astonishing. He jumped up, raised his right arm, and interfered.

Facing the defender's wolf attack, Lillard, who is born with a big heart, behaved very calmly and successfully completed the shot.

But he still underestimated Tony Allen's defense. The moment the ball was released, Tony Allen's middle finger touched the basketball, and the flight arc changed slightly.

When Lillard saw this scene, his eyelids blinked and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Bang!"

A slight error can make a difference of a thousand miles.

The basketball finally missed, and the sound of hammering could be heard outside, and the whole audience cheered.

"It's Tony again, he prevented the Trail Blazers' final attack in the third quarter!"

"Tony!!! Allen!!!!"

the live DJ shouted.

"Alas, Damien is too young to face Tony Allen."

Coach Terry shook his head. He now only hopes that Lillard will never be beaten to the point of self-isolation under the sanctions of Tony Allen, a top defender in the league.

Marliss Speights picked off the rebound and the whistle sounded, ending the third quarter.

Lillard waved his arms reluctantly. He knew that Tony Allen had taught him a good lesson today.

It turns out that my offensive ability is still a long way from being at the top of the league, and I want to become stronger.

Looking at Tony Allen's back, Lillard wished he could be like Kobe, scoring as easily as possible.

…

If we were to say which team's defense in the league still retains the iron-blooded, savage, and rough atmosphere of the early century.

The Grizzlies must be recommended first!

In the land of Tennessee, in the FedEx Arena, Wang Zelin and others can obviously feel that the scale of the referee's call is much larger than that of other teams' arenas.

Fierce defense that could have been called a foul in many other places was completely ignored by the referee.

It seems that everyone thinks this is natural.

Starting from the fourth quarter, the physical confrontation displayed by the Grizzlies went to a new level. Those who didn't know it thought they were playing in the playoffs.

The young Blazers are completely unable to adapt... No, it should be said that they have not yet reacted to the increase in defensive intensity and the relaxation of penalty standards.

The Grizzlies' iron barrel formation on the defensive end caused the Blazers' offensive efficiency to drop significantly.

When the inside offense continued to hit the ground running, Wang Zelin and others naturally turned to outside shooting.

It's not that he's scared, but that his current physical strength pool really can't sustain him for high-intensity inside fights, so he has to turn to shots that are relatively more energy-saving.

And this plays right into Coach Hollins's plan.

Blacksmithing is contagious.

Not only will it spread among players, but shooting hot spots from inside to outside are also unavoidable.

"Bang!"

Near the end of the game, Wang Zelin struck again.

The heavy steps made him react a beat slower, and the rebound was protected by the closer Marc Gasol.

More than ten seconds later, Mike Conley ran out of shot time from outside the three-point line.

"Beep beep beep!"

The final whistle sounded, and the Trail Blazers defeated the Grizzlies 78:84, losing by 6 points, ending the last game of 2012.

The Blazers players on the court felt uncomfortable watching the Grizzlies celebrating near the center circle.

"King, you are a very powerful opponent, we almost lost."

After a brief celebration with his teammates, Marc Gasol approached Wang Zelin.

In this game, Marc Gasol scored 15 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals, and he had a strong presence on the defensive end.

Wang Zelin scored 19 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks.

In terms of data, there is almost no difference between the two, and Wang Zelin is even slightly better.
Chapter completed!
