Chapter 687: Addicted to Three-Point Shooting(1/2)
The away game is a difficulty that every playoff team must overcome. Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers are preparing to lose to the Cavaliers tonight.
Fortunately, even if they win, the Cavaliers can only chase the score in the series to 1:2, and the Trail Blazers still have the upper hand.
At the end of the game, Wang Zelin looked up at the big screen, and James' personal data had been printed on it.
In the whole game, James made 18 of 33 shots, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, an astonishing 50%, and 9 of 11 free throws, a new high since the Finals.
50 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block!
Tonight, James broke his career scoring record in a single playoff game and set a new record of 50 points.
In the past, James' playoff scoring record was 49 points, which he scored against the Magic and Nets.
In Wang Zelin's memory, James should have had to wait until the 2018 playoffs to face the Universe Yongcai to break his own scoring record.
Of course, with the arrival of my little butterfly,
The development trend of the NBA has already deviated from his memory. Although he was shocked by James breaking the record, he could understand it.
After all, James, who was 33 years old in 2018, has the ability to break records. There is no reason why James, who has just turned 30 now, does not have this ability.
No matter what, in terms of individual player abilities alone, James is still the strongest among active players, with a player rating of 99 in the system!
But, after a while, that won’t necessarily be the case.
With a thought, Wang Zelin opened the lottery panel of the system. When he looked at the fan value displayed in the upper right corner of the lottery panel, which had exceeded the 80 million mark and was heading towards the 90 million mark, he knew that another NBA legendary insider was coming.
Wave to him.
He has a hunch that as long as he can defend his title and achieve two consecutive championships this year, his fan base will usher in a new round of surge, and his small goal is just around the corner.
There is still a long way to go before he becomes the first person in history, but this does not prevent him from completing his current small goal first.
For example, become the number one active player first!
…
…
After the third game of the finals, the fans in the forum felt like they were going crazy.
Generally speaking, this result is reasonable, but some are beyond their expectations.
Just like what many media commented before the finals, the strength gap between the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers is not as big as some people imagined.
You know, this Cavaliers is not like what Wang Zelin remembered. Irving and Love were injured one after another during the finals. Now not only Irving is still there, but there is also a very intimidating second center in active service after Wang Zelin inside.
!
Although the gap between first and second is a bit big, Cousins' ability cannot be underestimated.
So all things considered, both sides actually belong to the same level of teams, and each side has a point that cannot be restricted.
The Cavaliers have James, and the Trail Blazers have Wang Zelin!
However, because James was a bit beaten by Wang Zelin on the court, the Cavaliers' strength was inferior to that of the Trail Blazers.
Strictly speaking, James is not only defeated by Wang Zelin, but his player attributes are destined to be restrained by any strong interior defensive core.
Especially the heavy tank center!
This is actually based on data. When James plays a strong center in the Eastern Conference, his shooting percentage will always drop. It just depends on how much he drops.
15 years ago, James faced top defenders such as the Pistons, Duncan of the Spurs, Garnett of the Celtics, and Howard of the Magic in the Eastern Conference, including later Gao Yuanyuan. As long as there was a strong defensive player inside, James'
Breakthroughs will be subject to certain restrictions.
It has nothing to do with strength, it is caused by the technical characteristics of the players.
Just like in the first two games, James scored 44 points in one game and 32 points in the other, but his shooting percentage was very impressive, and he could only barely maintain a 40% shooting rate.
On the one hand, it may indeed be because James wanted to lose weight to maintain his peak period after returning to the Cavaliers this season. The idea was good, but the sudden switch from James from the Heat to James from the Cavaliers was too fast, which caused his condition to fail.
After adjustment, the offensive efficiency is much lower than that of the Heat.
On the other hand, it is indeed because the Cavaliers met the Trail Blazers with a new generation of center hegemon Wang Zelin, so the decline in James' efficiency is inevitable.
But fortunately, after a 50-point battle and an extreme display of personal heroism, the Cavaliers not only pulled back from the edge of the cliff, but James, whose reputation has declined due to declining efficiency this season, and James, who supports him, finally won.
The right to breathe for two days.
Not easy!
Next, let’s see if the g4 Cavaliers can defend another home court two days later.
If it can be defended, the series will go into overtime, and the suspense of the championship will be raised again.
…
Echeng Tieling.
Durant, who had just finished his recovery training, used his god-level hand speed after being single for more than 20 years at home to log into his own account and exchange words with mobile users.
There was no way. After the surgery, Durant could only do rehabilitation exercises every day during the offseason. Even some complex or simple exercises were completely out of his reach under the care of his old mother Wanda.
At this time, Du Xiaoshuai can only find the joy of life by surfing the Internet and criticizing people.
Not to mention, everyone on the Internet is talented and well-spoken. He likes it there very much.
Seeing that the Cavaliers managed to pull back a game without losing 0:3, this made Du Xiaoshuai feel a little regretful. He was still bitter about losing to James in 2012.
But he quickly changed his mind.
Since James has the upper hand in public opinion, he might as well attack Wang Zelin today!
Thinking of this, he picked up the crisp noodles next to him and poured a big mouthful into his mouth, and then started to apply for a new trumpet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just kidding, after encountering several car rollover tragedies in succession, he is already familiar with this kind of thing.
I, Kevin Durant, will never fall over again this time, no, in the future!
With a lot of flags, Durant once again opened the door to a new world!
…
Du Xiaoshuai turned into a fairy and started arguing with netizens. However, the Blazers, from the management to the coaching staff, are now under a bit of pressure.
Especially head coach Terry Stotts, who overly ignored James' outside touch yesterday and finally allowed the latter to score 50 points and easily break his career record...
It hurts to think about it now!
I really don’t know what I was thinking yesterday. Could it be that my head was moved under my butt after surgery? How dare I bet on James’ touch?
Before the training session started that day, he and his assistant coaches talked in the office about how to deal with tomorrow night's game.
But in the end, no one came up with any good solution.
Just like a thumbs up message on Twitter today:
"When James can hit 5 three-pointers in a single game, even Jesus can't stop him!"
The most troublesome thing is when a star breaks out or something.
If one game was okay, if James can still maintain the hot touch last night in the next game, then they really haven't...
Ahem, there are actually methods.
And it's very simple.
As long as someone from the Trail Blazers side steps up.
Countless past experiences tell them that the best way to deal with a star is to use another star to fight violence with violence.
When the conversation came to nothing, Coach Terry called Wang Zelin over again.
"Wang, are you confident to win the fourth game?"
he asked tentatively.
"have!"
Wang Zelin didn't do what he thought and replied decisively.
"Okay, I'm very energetic! Then it's up to you tomorrow night!"
With that said, Coach Terry nodded and patted Wang Zelin on the shoulder.
"???"
It’s so straightforward, so why don’t you give me some more chicken soup?
Wang Zelin glanced at his head coach with disdain, but someone shamelessly acted as if he didn't see it, with a happy smile on his face, as if "I believe you, let it go".
That’s very embarrassing!
…
…
Another day passed, the 11th, and after two days of short rest, Wang Zelin and his teammates set sail again.
The Trail Blazers and Cavaliers met in Game 4 of the Finals.
Regarding James' 50 points, whether the Cavaliers can hold on to one more home court to bring the series closer to Tianwang Mountain, and whether the Trail Blazers can win their third victory, these have occupied the main sections of major forums.
