NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 1130 The unique powerful strength
In the second quarter, Wang Zelin and Lillard came back, bringing old Carter, Batum, and Harrell who was in excellent form tonight.After the Mosaic team scored 6 points in the first 21 and a half minutes, in the next 5 and a half minutes, the Mosaic team only scored 12 points, and the efficiency dropped by nearly half.

The overall performance of outside shots on both sides is very good. When the tactical execution of the two teams is very strong, the changes of the Trail Blazers in the second quarter made the Mosaic team unable to cope.

The inside defense composed of Wang Zelin and Harrell covered the sky in the penalty area, making the Mosaic players discouraged.

In the second quarter, although the Blazers' offensive efficiency was relatively low, they only scored 26 points in the first quarter, but they still led the Mosaic team by 64 points 53:11 and entered the intermission!
The Trail Blazers took the initiative to fall into the offensive and defensive positional battles, and the offense was relatively average. Relying on Wang Zelin and Harrell to get 9 offensive rebounds and 5 blocks in a single quarter, they forcibly expanded their lead.

Mainly because of good defense!

Counting the first quarter, Wang Zelin and Harrell have sent 9 blocks together, the former 4 times and the latter 5 times. It is not an exaggeration to say that they completely pinched the Mosaic team's offensive frame.

上半场哈登几乎打满，首节砍下15分之后第二节又拿到了8分4助攻，两节下来个人数据已经得到了23分9助攻3篮板1抢断的准三双。

If it weren't for Harden's almost full output tonight, I'm afraid the Mosaic team will fall behind even more.

王泽林打了16分钟，拿了17分10篮板3助攻4盖帽，攻防两端全部拉满！
After the end of the game, Wang Zelin rubbed Harrell's head fiercely. Seeing that Harrell was extremely tired, he knew that Harrell would probably play leisurely in the second half.

But even so, Harrell has overfulfilled the task today, with 5 blocks in the half, which has set a record for half-time blocks in the regular season of his career.

……

……

After halftime, the Trail Blazers re-appointed the starting lineup in the third quarter, and the Mosaic team also replaced the four starters, but replaced Nurkic with Ariza.

In the first half, under the double care of Wang Zelin and Harrell, Nurkic was beaten to death. Not only did he fail to show his due level of strength, but he became a drag on the team.

In order to increase the mobility on the court, D'Antoni decided to let Capela play the 5th position and Ariza as the 4th position. In this way, it will not only increase the three-point offensive points on the court, but also expand the defensive area.

As for the task of protecting the basket inside?

Don't make trouble, with the Trail Blazers No. 36, no matter how many people are stationed inside the Mosaic team, they can't beat him alone.

When D'Antoni thought of the scene where Capela and Nurkic were abused by Wang Zelin in the first half, he couldn't help but shudder.

I hope that Ariza can play a miraculous effect after playing.

D'Antoni prayed silently in his heart.

After the start of the third quarter, Wang Zelin changed his passive-aggressive approach in the first half, his desire to attack skyrocketed, and he began to actively demand singles!
Regardless of Wang Zelin, he scored a team-high 17 points in the first half, but at least 12 of them came from the second offense at the basket, and he rarely took the initiative to attack with the ball.

He was able to score so many points purely because his control over the rebounds has reached a level beyond the heavens.

In the third quarter, it's time to end the suspense!

As a magic ball offensive team, the Mosaic team is only 11 points behind, even if they are 21 points behind, it is just a few three-pointers for them.

As long as you shoot the three-pointer correctly, you can turn everything impossible into possibility, and this is the most fascinating part of the three-pointer.

Therefore, Wang Zelin is still very afraid of the Mosaic team, and decided to use his strength in this quarter to send the game into garbage time ahead of schedule.

Because of Wang Zelin's focus on defense in the first half, the Mosaic team did not expect that Wang Zelin would ignore the inside and outside shots in the third quarter. Wang Zelin suddenly switched the game mode and hit the Mosaic team by surprise.

Seeing that the score between the two sides had reached 19 points and was about to break through the 20-point mark, D'Antoni quickly signaled the players on the field to pinch Wang Zelin, and he must not let that guy continue to fight like this.

The result was... Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Zelin immediately switched to the organization mode and began to connect the team's offense.

After all, the Mosaic team couldn't defend the offense of the Trail Blazers' lineup. Not only did they defend against the team in the league, they really successfully defended against the Trail Blazers' starting lineup.

Of course, if the Trail Blazers play according to the first half of the first quarter from the beginning of the third quarter, the prepared Mosaic team still has the confidence to form an offensive confrontation with the Mosaic team on the court.

However, Wang Zelin switched game modes one after another, from main defense to main offense and then to organization, which completely disrupted the Mosaic team's defensive strategy. He was led by the Trail Blazers on the field and could only be forced to follow.

The result of this is that the Blazers completely controlled the situation of the game, but the original team offensive tactics of the Mosaic team did not play out, playing and playing, and the court became a superstar duo of Harden and Anthony.

Entering the third quarter, the Mosaic team had only one offensive tactic. Harden finished with Anthony, and Anthony finished with Harden. The original team offense became a stage for stars to show their personal abilities.

Harden made 12 of 7 shots in the half, plus 5 of 4 free throws, and scored 23 points with a super high shooting percentage. However, in the third quarter, Harden made 9 crazy shots, but only got 3 hits.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, when Harden made 3 consecutive three-pointers, the Trail Blazers began to shrink, beware of Harden attacking the basket and making fouls!
Now Harden's title of "one-point king" is resounding throughout the league. After studying so many Mosaic team games, he found that when the team is in a scoring drought, Harden will always subconsciously want to use free throws to open the situation.

That is to say, Harden's foul-making skills have indeed reached an unprecedented level, relying on breakthrough kills and the Blazers to barely compete.

The Blazers played most of the quarter with the starting lineup, and played a small half quarter with the running lineup of Wang Zelin, Yi Jianlian, Carter, Connett Lee, and Curry in the second half. After three quarters, they led the Mosaic team by 94:71 by 23 points and entered the intermission.

During this quarter, Wang Zelin exploded on the offensive end, scoring 24 points and 9 rebounds, and 41 points and 19 rebounds in three quarters, easily achieving the task of 40+20 per game.

For the Mosaic team, Harden worked hard to break through the historical record. In the third quarter, he scored a team-high 11 points. After three quarters, he scored 33 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.

Fortunately, the current Harden is not the Harden of the Nets period. During the Mosaic period, he was a well-known iron man in the league. He played more than 90% of the games every season, and the minimum playing time exceeded 35 minutes.

You must know that although the confrontation in this era may not be as good as before, the offensive rounds of each game have improved a lot compared to the past. Therefore, the running distance of players in this era generally exceeds that of previous players.

It also cannot explain why the average playing time of the core players of the team in this era is basically in the early 30s, unlike the core players of many teams in the past who often played close to 40 minutes.

In this era, do you dare to think that when Iverson played like this, less than half of the regular season, your body would collapse 100%.

Three quarters with 33 points and 12 assists in a large double-double, especially against the Trail Blazers in the active league who encourage physical confrontation. They are as strong as Iron Man Harden, and they are tired enough during the break.

But there is no way around it. The Mosaic team scored 18 points in the third quarter, and Harden scored 11 points alone. In order to win, he was really carrying crazy tonight.

As for Carmelo Anthony, another major outside core of the team, he was taken care of by Batum and Button in the second half, and Wang Zelin would harass him from time to time, which made him completely misfired in this quarter, scoring only 5 points on 1 of 2 shots.

It is conceivable that even though he is so explosive, he still cannot lead the Mosaic team. Haddenton feels depressed and helpless for a while.

After the break in the third quarter, Harden's nightmare came!
The inside combination of Wang Zelin and Harrell is on the stage again. The Blazers' restricted area is like a minefield. As long as they dare to enter, they will be slapped out by them immediately.

After the start of the final quarter, the Mosaic team still had a glimmer of fantasy, unwilling to give up the game so early, and began to shoot a large number of three-pointers.

At first they felt good, the team hit 4 three-pointers in a row, and the point difference was close to 15 points at once, but as Wang Zelin's defensive strategy changed, he began to frantically attack outwards, and the Mosaic team's shooters immediately withered.

Facing the defense of a seven-foot-long man who is as fast as lightning, and feeling the opponent's hands that block the sky, who will not be afraid?
When the pitcher became hesitant, the Mosaic team could only rely on Harden to score in the final quarter.

Anthony played fairly well in the first half tonight, but after encountering a target in the second half, it was already difficult to provide any help for Harden.

In any case, Anthony is 33 years old after all. Even with weight loss and transformation, his physical fitness could not return to his peak period. He fought hand-to-hand with the Blazers for three quarters. The reason why he played in the final quarter was purely supported by a tenacious willpower.

My Gua Ge is so proud that I can only abandon my teammates at critical moments.

But to do bad things with good intentions, this sentence is the most suitable to describe Anthony in the last quarter.

The only way for Anthony to provide positive value on the court is to keep scoring. When he can't score, his defensive ability is so-so. At this time, he can only be reduced to a black hole on the court. By the way, let Harden feel the weight training.

Harden actually played well in the last quarter, making 7 of 3 shots, making a three-pointer, and 4 free throws. He scored 11 points in a single quarter and raised his personal score to 44 points.

However, the Mosaic team only scored 16 points in the final quarter, not even the third quarter!
For the Trail Blazers, although the team has only scored 23 points so far, it is enough for them to win!

靠着王泽林单场47分24篮板5助攻7盖帽1抢断，开拓者队以117:86狂胜马赛克队，取得了常规赛收官战的胜利。

……

……

"In the closing battle, Harden lost 44 points to Wang Zelin's 47 points!" - "Los Angeles Times"

"Congratulations to the Trail Blazers, the regular season record has reached 72 wins, tying the Bulls again in 96!" - "Sports Illustrated"

"From evenly matched to one-sided, what happened to the Mosaic team in the second half?" - "Bleacher"

"With 72 wins, will the fourth MVP be far away?" - "Basketball Pioneer"

"..."

Immediately after the competition ended, all the media immediately sent out all the prepared manuscripts.

看了直播的球迷们，再一次被王泽林的表现吓到了，而没看直播的人甚至没时间看文字直播的人看到47+25+5+7+1的4×5数据，再一次惊叹于王泽林的强大。

The main reason is that the fans are already immune to Wang Zelin's crazy performance, but when the last regular season is over, Wang Zelin once again handed over a near-perfect report card, this time the defense line in the bottom of the player's heart was completely defeated!
In the 2016~17 season, from the first game of the regular season to the final 1nd game, Wang Zelin started all the games and showed the league's unique strength, from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.

too exaggerated!Wang Zelin's performance throughout the season was too exaggerated!

The fans were also shocked by the data of Wang Zelin's final station. The major media posted the previously prepared crazy performance of Wang Zelin this season. The official Trail Blazers team and a short video app on the other side of the ocean also started to push detailed videos of Wang Zelin's regular season performance this season.

The explosive performance coupled with the explosive background music stimulated the adrenaline of the fans.

When Wang Zelin's game data for this season appeared, everyone was shocked.

场均40.8分20.5篮板4.8助攻4.3盖帽1.7抢断，投篮命中率是65%，三分运动率是42.3%，罚球命中率是94.8%！

The average turnover is 2.5 times per game, and considering Wang Zelin's super high number of shots and 4.8 assists, the assist-to-turnover ratio is close to 2:1, but there is nothing wrong with it.

By comparison, Russell Westbrook, another top MVP contender this season, averaged 5.4 turnovers per game.

Leading the scoring, rebounding, and blocking shots, Wang Zelin once again achieved the dominance of the top three lists in a single season.

82场常规赛下来，王泽林只有2场比赛得分没有超过30、然后是43场得分30+、28场得分40+、7场得分50+、2场得分80+……

In addition, there were 2 single-game quadruple-doubles, more than double-digit single-game triple-doubles, and countless nights of crazy board abuse.

Too many terrible performances. Except for the data of the ancient gods in the 60s and [-]s in the regular season this season, modern basketball cannot find a player who is more explosive than Wang Zelin in the regular season this season!

Wang Zelin deserves the unique strength in the active league! ! !
