Chapter 687: Addicted to Three-Point Shooting(2/2)
The morning preparations were over, and then he rested all afternoon. At 4:30 in the evening, Wang Zelin had something to eat with his teammates. He started warming up at 5 o'clock. At 7:15 in the evening, Wang Zelin and his teammates entered the Quicken Loans Arena.
As the team boss, Wang Zelin was met with overwhelming boos when he entered the court. After the big score reached 2:1, he could clearly feel that the surrounding Cavaliers fans were much more confident than in the previous game.
Now is the time when the Cavaliers' morale is at its highest.
During the warm-up before the game, Irving made perfect shots from long range and hit 15 three-pointers from five positions outside the three-point line, showing his excellent touch and competitive state.
However, someone on the Trail Blazers side quickly stood up.
who?
Naturally, it’s Lillard, the Trail Blazers’ three-point leader.
His outside line also fired frequently, a series of three-pointers rained down, and soon Mingming also hit 15.
The two were competing in the air. When Irving made a shot, Lillard had to follow up with one, which caused the fans on the sidelines to cheer.
It wasn't until the head coaches of both teams couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly called out to the two of them that the three-point contest ended.
However, there were still attentive media on the sidelines who completely recorded this unique game. In the end, it was calculated that Irving scored 29 consecutive three-pointers, and Lillard scored one more, making 30 consecutive three-pointers!
After the warm-up, the two teams came out one after another.
It's already the fourth game of this match. The players on both sides know each other well, and the coaching staff on both sides didn't make any mistakes. They honestly put out their regular lineups.
Jump ball in the middle circle, the Blazers win.
The Cavaliers generals have long been accustomed to it. Cousins didn't even have the intention to jump to the ball. He jumped three inches high, then turned around and joined the Cavaliers' retreating army.
Lillard holds the ball outside the three-point line, and Irving presses on him to directly increase the intensity!
It can be seen that due to the contest just now, the two of them are now very angry.
When Lillard saw this, he did not go up to play singles, but waved to Wang Zelin to come out for a pick-and-roll.
Wang Zelin ran out to block Lillard. Lillard took advantage of the screen to break through, but he made an accurate shot. He took a step to the right and immediately pulled up when the opportunity arose.
"Whoosh!"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
Lillard's touch looks quite hot.
However, Irving quickly responded strongly.
During the transition between offense and defense, Irving ignored James's request and started playing singles at the top of the arc, winning consecutively and then taking a step-back three-pointer...
"Whoosh!"
With the same hit, the two teams drew.
After scoring the goal, Irving looked at the Blazers No. 0 in front of him provocatively, as if to say: Look, my goal is much more difficult than yours.
As a result, Lillard ignored him and turned to catch the ball. Irving, who was looking for trouble, retreated quickly.
"Do you want to continue?"
At the bottom line, Wang Zelin picked up the ball and asked suddenly.
"en...let me try!"
Lillard was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Trail Blazers offense.
Still looking for a pick-and-roll, this time Cousins switched defense in time and quickly made up for it. Lillard passed the ball and stopped to take a shot. He jumped up decisively to block the shot.
"Eh? Where's the ball?"
As a result, I found that there was nothing in front of me.
"This is a fake move! Cousins is still not calm enough... Lillard took a step back and made a three-pointer, good shot! The second three-pointer was scored!"
Facing the rooftop, when Lillard made a three-pointer and dropped the ball into the net, Yu Jia yelled as a teacher.
There were bursts of boos at the scene.
In the next round, Irving got a little carried away and continued to hold the ball and beat Lillard in singles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Irving seems to have forgotten one thing. The No. 36 opposite is not Cousins. That guy is not only the sharpest spear in the league, but also the strongest.
The shield!
Irving held his breath, and after changing directions one after another, he made a sharp turn, found an opportunity at the 45' position of the left three-point line, and quickly took a shot.
"Snapped!"
As a result, something unexpected happened, and a familiar figure appeared in mid-air.
Pioneer No. 36!
The opponent swung his palm and sent the ball flying out of the sideline.
"This guy……"
Irving was shocked, but also felt quite unhappy, because in his opinion, Wang Zelin ruined the duel between himself and Lillard.
emmm, I can only say that gods are gods. Although they are only in the state of semi-immortal, their realm is still beyond the reach of mortals.
People are thinking about how to win, but Owen is still thinking about one-on-ones and how to make goals more gorgeous.
Soon, the Cavaliers organized another attack.
Facing the simultaneous requests from Irving and James, Cousins threw the ball to James without even thinking.
This made Owen's face look even uglier, and he lost his smile completely, but it wasn't the feeling of frustration with no fighting spirit, it felt like he was gritting his teeth and trying to prove something.
There were 9 seconds left on the clock. James did not break through after taking advantage of the screen. Instead, he fired a bald arrow. It seemed that he was trying to find the feeling of the previous game.
"Clang!"
The basketball hit the side of the rim and popped out.
James' touch doesn't seem as good as he thinks.
The opening rounds became a microcosm of the game.
Players from both teams seemed to be cursed by the three-point god. They became addicted to three-point shots and frequently took long-range shots.
The difference is that Lillard and Irving felt really good today, shooting 4 of 8 in one half and 3 of 7 in the other half.
As for a certain bald old man, he made 1 of 4 in the first half, which is considered to be back to normal.
At this time, the value of an excellent frame protector can be reflected.
With Wang Zelin in charge, the Trail Blazers took 48 shots in the first half and the Cavaliers took 42 shots. However, the Trail Blazers had 13 more rebounds than the Cavaliers, with an astonishing 33 rebounds in the half.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers only had 20 rebounds while taking only 6 fewer shots than the Trail Blazers.
At halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 12 points, 60:48!
Chapter completed!
