Chapter 178 The king of Luo City is not you!(1/2)
"Oh, God, No. 0 of the Trail Blazers made a three-pointer at the buzzer, poor Los Angeles people!"
"The point difference is back to 5 points!!!"
Charles Barkley couldn't help laughing.
"This goal boosted morale so much and announced that the Clippers' previous efforts were all in vain," said Kenny Smith.
"Damien!"
"Damien!"
"Damien!"
"..."
The atmosphere in the Rose Garden Arena completely exploded.
On the other side, Clippers captain Chris Paul put his hands on his hips and looked helplessly at Lillard who was celebrating.
What are these things?
Are all this year’s rookies so explosive?
"Brother, great job!"
Wang Zelin rushed up and shouted excitedly, placing a pair of devil's claws on Lillard's head.
Not to mention, this little head feels quite sexy to the touch.
"hey-hey!"
Although he didn't know where Wang Zelin learned this weird way of celebrating, Lillard always felt something was wrong and quickly broke away from Wang Zelin's hand.
"Ouch! Damien's step-back three-pointer was like a sharp sword stabbing into the heart of the Clippers!"
The Trail Blazers commentator shouted loudly, with a slight tremor in his voice, showing his inner excitement.
City of Angels.
"well!"
“God has truly blessed Portlanders.”
"You can score such a difficult three-pointer!"
Clippers fans who watched the game in real time let out lamentations.
There is no doubt that Lillard's three-pointer just now was definitely a fairy ball level of difficulty, and it fully reflected four words - shrimp and pig heart.
You know, the person he was guarding personally was Chris Paul, the undisputed No. 1 point guard in the league.
Just last year, in the 2011-12 season, Paul was successfully selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team and was also selected to the All-Defensive First Team.
He is such a double-team league superstar who is both good at offense and defense!
As a result, it became a background board...
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro shook his head. The situation was beyond his expectations.
Originally, his main target tonight was Chinese player Wang Zelin. Just as he thought before, Wang Zelin was fierce in the first half.
But now, another rookie of the Trail Blazers suddenly stepped forward to break this situation.
Only then did people suddenly remember...
The Trail Blazers not only have a super rookie like No. 36, but the other No. 0 is not bad either.
Lillard's sudden force caught the Clippers off guard, but time waited for no one. After a short rest, players from both sides were ready to take the field.
"The Clippers will definitely increase their defensive intensity in the fourth quarter. Everyone must be mentally prepared, do you understand?" Coach Terry said to his disciples.
"Haha! I really hope that my opponent's strength can be greater, so that I can have more fun!" Wang Zelin replied with a crazy expression.
"Coach, we are not vegetarians!"
Batum replied brazenly.
Obviously, after playing against a strong team like the Clippers, sparks have appeared on both sides.
The last time they met, the Trail Blazers players, who had been frustrated by the defeat, were in the lead, and they couldn't help but feel proud.
"Then go on the field and prove it to me with your actions!"
Coach Terry nodded. Young people should have the arrogance of "dare to change the sun and moon into a new sky!"
Back in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers served from the bottom line.
15 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds...this is Lillard's data in the first three quarters.
Batum’s 17 points were second only to Wang Zelin’s 25 points.
Tonight, many players in the Trail Blazers broke out, but it was Aldridge who was the strongest, who fished throughout the game and had a mediocre desire to score. He scored 10 points and 5 rebounds on 5-of-7 shooting.
But people probably enjoy it too.
After all, whoever tries it knows the joy of fishing. Aldridge, who has experienced it many times this season, hopes to have more opportunities like this.
Let’s get back to the game.
The Clippers' defensive intensity suddenly increased. All players worked hard to defend, and Paul even defended Lillard closely from the backcourt. His concentration on the game almost reached the level of the playoffs.
Fortunately, as coach Terry expected, some of the Blazers who were mentally prepared suddenly accelerated, instead of choosing to play a slow positional battle like before.
Lillard took the lead, and before his teammates were fully in position, he forcibly pulled up and shot a three-pointer...hit.
The Trail Blazers lead by 8 points!
Lillard still feels hot.
The Clippers attacked and Paul broke through and wandered uncertainly at the free throw line. However, he was frightened by Wang Zelin who was sitting under the basket and was eventually forced out of the paint area and missed a close throw.
Aldridge took the initiative to help block Jordan, and Griffin and Wang Zelin took off at the same time.
In terms of rebounding sense, bounce, bounce speed and other factors, Griffin is definitely the best in the league, but he loses because of...short hands.
Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound before Griffin. At this time, the Clippers were already prepared and retreated very quickly. The fast break failed. In the end, the ball was in the hands of Matthews, who shot a one-step shot from the three-point line.
In the next few minutes, the two teams fought hard from the outside. Paul and Lillard, the breakthrough experts, rarely entered the penalty area and ended the battle outside.
Although Lillard couldn't deal with Paul on the defensive end, he relied on his excellent form tonight and used all his firepower to use his offense to beat Paul, a double-team leader.
In the 7th minute of the game, Paul misplaced his defense against Batum, showing what it means to be bold and talented. After succeeding in a gambling steal, he quickly broke into the frontcourt and chased a three-pointer, closing the gap to one point.
92:91!
"Beep!"
Lillard controlled the ball past halftime, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout.
"Wang, what did you tell me just now? Why can't you work hard when you get on the court?" Coach Terry pointed at Wang Zelin and scolded.
"Ahem, mine, mine!"
After the tactical cough, Wang Zelin took the blame on himself.
In fact, you can't blame him, the life of fishing is really too beautiful...
No wonder the later Wolfberry Mamba was always addicted to it and could not extricate itself.
"You can't blame Wang for this coach thing, I was the one who took the blame just now..." Lillard raised his head, his expression slightly embarrassed.?
So far in the fourth quarter, Lillard has scored 7 points, bringing the total score to 22, but he only got it with 8 shots.
The fiery touch made Lillard indulge in a continuous shooting state and couldn't help himself. In addition, Wang Zelin saw that his friends rarely had such a living situation, and he was willing to be a good guy for once and didn't ask for the ball in the paint.
So when Lillard's condition gradually declined, no one on the court noticed it. Instead, Coach Terry off the court was keenly aware that something was wrong.
"King, next you need to strengthen your internal offensive, increase your deterrence, and stop being sneaky..."
After a scolding from Coach Terry, the game continued.
Trail Blazers offense.
"Hey man, how was your rest?"
Wang Zelin, who was low on the right wing and was about to take his position, suddenly asked when he saw Jordan approaching again.
"Rookie, what are you trying to do?" When Wang Zelin saw him like this, Xiao Qiaodan felt panicked and couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha, you will know soon!"
Wang Zelin laughed and took the initiative to get close to Jordan and secretly supported Jordan's waist. The latter didn't have time to "Fake" and turned directly into the penalty area.
At the top of the arc, Lillard instinctively raised his hand, and the basketball pierced the sky and went straight to the basket.
"Bang!"
Wang Zelin pulled the basket with both hands, and the basket made a wail.
94:91, the Trail Blazers lead by three points at home.
"You are so mean!"
When Little Jordan saw this, he was stunned at first, and then became furious.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When Jordan's confused black face appeared on the big screen, the entire Rose Garden Arena burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! This expression is so funny. I have to say that Jordan has the talent to be a comedian!"
The home commentator chuckled and joked.
The Clippers were attacking, and Jordan, who was being shunted, got his head on his head. After grabbing the position in the low post, he was ready to catch the ball.
To be continued...
