Chapter 217 Hot Pot Feast(1/2)
On the court, Lillard passed the ball to Wang Zelin under Ty Lawson's defense, because he found that he had no chance to make a shot, and Ty Lawson was guarding him.
Wang Zelin received the basketball and looked at the timer on the backboard. There were still 15 seconds left, so he waved to his teammates to spread the formation.
A few seconds later, seeing the space being opened by his teammates, Wang Zelin began to dribble in.
In an instant, the entire Rose Garden fans stood up. This scene made Iguodala sigh: I didn't expect that Wang Zelin would have such prestige in Portland in just half a season, and he had been in Philadelphia for so long.
Ten years, and finally...
Thinking of this, Iguodala smiled and shook his head, but his smile was a little bitter.
Also, even Allen, the son of Philadelphia, can be traded, so what does that mean to me?
Seeing Costa Koufos retreating continuously, Iguodala quietly came behind Wang Zelin and pounced on him.
At this time, Wang Zelin's hook movement was just completed, and Iguodala rose into the air, bouncing so high that everyone present took a breath.
"Snapped!"
"Huh?" Wang Zelin was surprised and looked at the basketball that was shot away in disbelief... He was actually blocked.
In the Rose Garden Arena, the penalty area guarded by him was a nightmare for all opponents. When someone burst in, it was usually to ask the teacher if he had any homework.
But today, neither Wang Zelin nor Portland fans expected that he would be blocked on his own territory.
"Andre ~ Iguodala! His defense is so good. I haven't seen Wang eating hot pot under the basket for a long time! He is worthy of being the man who can defend James in the 2011 playoffs!"
When Iguodala completed the block, Reggie Miller grabbed the microphone and yelled wildly.
After hearing what he said, many people looked at the players wearing blue No. 9 jerseys on the court and their thoughts went back to the Eastern Conference playoffs in the 2010-1 season.
It was the first year of the formation of the Miami Heat, which was at its peak. They were disliked by fans, media, and the league. However, they had to admit that the Miami Big Three, who were still under thirty and at the peak of their careers, were well-deserved.
Number one championship seed.
At least before the finals, no team in the Eastern Conference except the Celtics can stop the Heat, let alone the Philadelphia 75ers, who only scored 41 wins and 41 losses in the regular season and ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.
In the eyes of the outside world, even if the Heat lose, they can only lose to the Celtics. Before that, they should have swept the game.
However, Iguodala, the core of the 75ers at the time, used his actions to tell everyone ~ no!
Not only did he steadily average a near-triple-double of 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, but he also led the team to come back from a 0:3 deficit in the G4 life-and-death battle.
In the end, they won a valuable victory over the overwhelmingly popular Heat team.
After that series of playoffs, Andre Iguodala got rid of the title of "Little AI" for the first time in his career, and fans gradually got to know the 75ers' new leader.
A guy who can slightly restrict James on perimeter defense!
…
In the auditorium.
As soon as Reggie Miller's words came out of his mouth, he immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many Trail Blazers fans around him.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers players on the court returned to defense very quickly, otherwise the Nuggets would have really been able to make a fast break.?
Ty Lawson stabilized the rhythm, and the two teams had to compete again in a positional battle.
Iguodala took advantage of Cornes Farrid's screen and circled in from outside the three-point line.
Iguodala had just contributed an excellent defense at the top five level. This time Ty Lawson could no longer pretend not to see it. When a puller ran into position, Ty Lawson's pass just arrived.
.
Iguodala simply broke away and held the ball, scaring the Blazers into shrinking their defense.
Take off, jump up, Iguodala makes an emergency stop... where is the ball?
It turns out that Iguodala's action just now was just a feint, and the real killer move was Wilson Chandler who had sneaked into the paint.
Wilson Chandler didn't stop after catching the ball. He pushed past Matthews and rushed in. He raised his arms and jumped on one foot. He looked so unstoppable!
"Roar!" Wilson Chandler yelled, rounded the ball, and slammed it into the basket.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the basket let out a painful wail, and the basketball stand was shaken to a creaking sound.
The entire arena was silent for two seconds, and then the deafening boos made Nuggets coach George Karl feel like the floor was shaking.
But as one of only seven coaches with 1,000 wins in NBA history, he has never seen any big scenes, and the boos from the audience will only make him more excited.
At the same time, he believed that the disciples on the field were the same.
Sure enough, Wilson Chandler, who completed the dunk, showed no sign of fear in the face of the overwhelming boos, waving his hands crazily, as if to say...
"Let the storm come harder!"
The big screen and TV at the scene immediately gave a replay of the attack. The Nuggets' Ty Lawson, Iguodala and Wilson Chandler cooperated in seconds, and finally succeeded in the Trail Blazers' basket.
basket.
Under the leadership of George Karl, the plateau running and jumping team has completed its transformation this season. They do not have a superstar-level leader, but they are capable of surpassing the alley-oop city, the Black and White Bears and many other strong teams. They are ranked fourth in the Western Conference, and the distance is 3rd.
The Thunder are only one win away from the third place, and they rely on the incomparable team basketball.
As far as this year is concerned, in terms of team basketball attributes, the only one that can be better than the Denver Nuggets is the San Antonio Spurs.
The boos all over the sky didn't last long before disappearing.
the reason is simple.
"BOOM! Blind Karaka!
Audience friends, take a look!
What is absolute power!!!"
In the next attack, Wang Zelin relied on his absolute advantage in strength to dunk against two defenders, and caused a defensive foul by Nuggets center Kosta Koufos.
"e on, baby!"
After completing the dunk, Wang Zelin roared at the two people in front of him!
In line with the principle of saving energy, Wang Zelin didn't attack too hard before, but what he got in exchange was a hot pot.
Now, he doesn't want to endure it anymore!
Costa Koufos's face was not very pretty. Just when he was about to have an attack, he suddenly thought of Wang Zelin's terrifying power just now, and his head subconsciously shrank back.
Soon, Wang Zelin hit an extra free throw and the score was 2 1.
6:4.
Next, the Nuggets continued to attack.
Iguodala plays without the ball and starts to move along the baseline to pull the defender.
Ty Lawson, who was holding the ball, handed over a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, took a step, had a little space, and made a strong pull from the mid-range...
"Whoosh!"
Don’t forget, I am the Nuggets’ leading scorer.
After scoring the goal, Ty Lawson pointed directly at his No. 3 jersey.
"Very good, Lawson, keep it up!"
George Karl nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines. With Gallinari, the team's striker, injured and absent, someone on the team must step up.
6:6 flat.
The game continues.
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard also called a pick-and-roll tactic at the top of the arc, and the Nuggets became wary.
But most of the Trail Blazers' pick-and-rolls won't stop until the end, unless Wang Zelin, Aldridge and Lillard cooperate.
The pick-and-roll between Lillard and Mike Roberts allows the Metropolis to create selling space or passing options for Lillard.
Just like now.
Mike Roberts stepped forward and got directly behind Ty Lawson.
"Fake!"
Ty Lawson took a step back, as if he had hit an iron wall, his eyes wide open.
At this moment, Lillard seized the opportunity, took a step sideways and pulled it up...
Cornes Farid wanted to finish his defense.
On the other side, Iguodala was worried about Wang Zelin on the inside. He hesitated and his reaction speed naturally slowed down.
Lillard has completed all his shots...
"Whoosh!"
The basketball followed the sound and fell directly into the net.
9:6!
"The three-pointer after the pick-and-roll is Lillard's specialty, and it is also his favorite scoring method." Weber said with a smile: "What you may not have noticed is that when Lillard waved for the pick-and-roll, Wang chose to go straight from the baseline.
Insert into the heart of the Nuggets, and then attract the attention of Iguodala and insider Koufos, causing Iguodala to not dare to defend outside!
A good player should have such a deterrent effect, able to divert the opponent's defensive attention, thereby allowing his teammates to get good opportunities!"
Weber was full of praise for Wang Zelin, while Reggie Miller next to him was wiping his sweat tactically.
He thought: Look at what you said, those who didn’t know thought it was Wang Zelin’s two points. Newton proposed the force of gravity hundreds of years ago, but you are even more awesome and proposed the force of gravity!
Offense and defense transition, the Nuggets attack.
