NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Terry Stotts did not hesitate and asked the assistant coach to call a timeout.

After calling a timeout, he turned around and called Harrell and Beverley up.

When the players came down, he took out the tactical board and arranged tactics.

After listening to this, Wang Zelin knew that the coach was planning to show his trump card.

This is the unlimited defense change created by the Trail Blazers to suppress the death of the five players. It has achieved miraculous effects several times before.

After Coach Terry finished laying out the tactics, Wang Zelin communicated with him in a low voice for a while.

He raised some concerns of his own.

The five dead players that the Trail Blazers faced before can only be said to be version 1.0. The five players are Curry, Thompson, Livingston, Iguodala and Green, but now they are facing version 2.0. After the forward changed from Livingston to Durant, the Warriors' five small lineup completed an epic upgrade.

"We don't have a better option right now and it's going to work."

Coach Terry insisted, and Wang Zelin said nothing more.

Seriously speaking, unlimited defense switching is indeed the best strategy the Blazers can use to deal with the Warriors' five small players. This lineup has been proven to have restraint properties against the Warriors' five small players, not to mention that they can't find a better one at the moment. Good way to cope.

It doesn't matter if it really comes to a critical moment. Do you really think that Mr. Wang, the current No. 1, is a vegetarian?
When necessary, I will take action!
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers replaced Lillard and Jokic with Beverley and Harrell.

This substitution caused a commotion at the scene.

Following the Warriors' five-game death streak, the Trail Blazers finally showed their trump card - unlimited defensive switching tactics!
Unexpectedly, in the second game, the two teams immediately raised the excitement of the game to another level!
Seeing the Trail Blazers changing their formation, no matter how confident Kerr was about Wuxiao in the 2.0 version, he still couldn't help but feel worried when he thought that the five players he was proud of in the past two seasons were cracked by the Blazers' infinite defense. .

After all, the 2.0 version of the Death 5 has only appeared a few times during the regular season. This game is the first appearance in the playoffs. It is very stressful to face such a heavyweight opponent as the Trail Blazers!

Don’t forget, Cole did not lead the Warriors to win the championship as soon as he debuted, as in history. He became a championship coach in his rookie coaching season. After that, the Warriors became unstoppable and created a dynasty of three championships in four years. myth.

Cole is not yet the dynasty coach he will be in the future. When he competes with Coach Terry in formation formation, he is the one with greater psychological pressure.

"Come on, let us win this victory, let us return to the Oracle Arena with the glory of victory and personally end the Blazers' dynasty myth."

Before taking the field, Cole gathered his players around him and used words to boost their morale.

Players from both sides returned to the field.

Trail Blazers attack.

Others opened up the space. Wang Zelin held the ball in the high post, swung it around, and scored a goal against Green's defense.

After sending out an unlimited defensive lineup, the Trail Blazers' assist defense, supplementary defense, and defensive changes have reached a new level. Compared with the regular starting lineup, the only difference is that the overall offense is slightly weaker.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers have Wang Zelin, an unsolvable super scorer, and Coach Terry doesn't have to worry about the team's offensive problems at all.

Switching to the defensive end, Green dealt cards at the top of the key every day. Facing Wang Zelin's defense, he posed as a three-threat one-on-one, and then constantly paid attention to the movement of his teammates.

The moment Curry had a chance, Green made a decisive cross pass, with anticipation in his eyes. Another assist was about to be recorded... what the hell!

As a result, before Curry had time to catch the ball, a figure who was originally following Durant suddenly turned around and moved sideways into the passing route and intercepted the ball.

"The Beast" Harrell!

"Well done! Fight back!"

Coach Terry yelled from the sidelines, very impressive.

I saw Harrell, his eyes quickly locked on his boss, and passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Wang Zelin stepped on the accelerator continuously, his speed suddenly increased, and he took the lead and went straight to the frontcourt.

"Quickly return to defense..."

Cole quickly stood up and shouted.

But it's too late.

"boom!"

The live footage showed Trail Blazers No. 36 in the Warriors half. After getting to the basket, he made a sharp one-handed dunk and slammed the ball into the basket.

After the timeout, the Blazers performed very well on offense and defense.

When the live camera was transferred, it was given to Coach Terry on the sidelines.

Coach Terry had a smile on his face.

His decision seemed to turn the tide of the battle.

But soon, the strengths of the 2.0 version of the Warriors' five small teams were revealed.

Curry holds the ball and picks and rolls with Durant in the frontcourt.

Beverley did not change rooms, but jumped out with Batum to double-team Curry.

After Curry predicted it in advance, he made a precise cross.

Wang Zelin's awareness of defense was timely and his speed was not slow, but he still underestimated Durant's determination. The latter took the ball and shot directly.

"Shh!"

Just like catching Dove, it slips smoothly into the net.

During the retreat, Curry and Durant waved and high-fived, looking very relaxed.

After the exchange of ball rights, the Warriors directly changed their defensive formation after returning to halftime, switching from man-to-man to 3-2 zone defense.

Beverley is weak in defense and offense, and is obviously unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of his organization. Now that Wang Zelin is the main offensive point of the Trail Blazers, he can only start from outside the three-point line. The Warriors naturally focus on defense. The outside line.

Beverly moved to the frontcourt and watched for a while, then passed the ball to Wang Zelin.

His primary goal on the court is to stay close to Curry. It is up to the boss to take care of things like scoring.

After Wang Zelin received the ball, he tried to break through at a 45-degree angle on the right side. As soon as he stepped into the three-point line, Green immediately got close to him, and Durant also swooped over.

Another double team without hesitation!
It can be seen that the Warriors are really afraid of Wang Zelin's offense.

But for a super scorer, double-teaming by two people is not enough.

So Wang Zelin took a step back decisively. Durant's eyes widened. Was he going to vote?
What if this ball breaks down...

"Shh!"

Wang Zelin's incredible three-pointer made the Warriors players feel numb.

Oh, my God, who would have thought that a 2-meter, seven-foot-long man could actually complete a step-back three-pointer as a guard!
Is this really reasonable?

Durant's eyes looked at Wang Zelin...a little dull.

But soon, he stabilized his mind.

Because he knows that he has no retreat, and only a championship can wash away the shame on him.

No matter what, he will do everything possible to win this game!
In the Warriors' offense, Curry and Durant continued to play a two-man game. This time it was Curry who took the shot. His first three-point attempt in the second half showed a fiery touch and went directly into the net.

No matter how motivated the Trail Blazers are on defense, it will be difficult to completely restrict the Warriors' offense.

The Trail Blazers advanced to the frontcourt, and Beverley continued to hold the ball at the top of the key. After waiting for his teammates to get into position, he continued to give the ball to Wang Zelin.

This time Wang Zelin learned to be smart. Before the Warriors could get double-teamed, he immediately faced Green with a tank-like advance.

Green's inside defense is certainly strong, but it also depends on who the opponent is.

He can guard 90% of the league's inside players, but now he is unlucky and encounters the last 10%.

Occasionally, it feels good to learn from James and adopt a violent flow of tanks to break through.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

Green tried his best to stop Wang Zelin's progress. Fortunately, Thompson came to defend in time. Just as they were about to attack one after another, Wang Zelin suddenly stopped and hit Green with a clean hit!
The Trail Blazers fans in the Rose Garden Arena are happy, so handsome, so handsome!

Swift couldn't help but stand up and applaud Wang Zelin. As the official palace official, Ken Dou couldn't bear to show weakness and also started an impromptu dance. Not far away, the king's daughter Ajiali now felt more and more that Wang Zelin, not far away, looked like playing ball. It’s really Thai cool...

The live footage showed Cole, who was sitting tight without much emotional change.

He doesn't believe that Wang Zelin can use this kind of difficult attack to end the game every time. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't go against the sky!

He didn't believe that Wang Zelin could defeat the Warriors alone and as a team!
At this time, Cole seemed to have subconsciously forgotten the scene where Wang Zelin defeated the Warriors with 14 points in a single game in the 15-65 playoffs.

Perhaps in his opinion, such a result was already outrageous if it happened once, and it would never happen again.

……

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on Wang Zelin's unsolved singles to lead the Warriors by 86 points 81:5 entering the final quarter.

In this quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 33 points in a single quarter, of which Wang Zelin scored 25 points. It can be said that he showed his personal heroism to the extreme!

On the contrary, the Warriors' top five players showed great team basketball in the third quarter. Their overall offensive firepower surpassed that of the Trail Blazers, and the team scored 36 points in a single quarter.However, Coach Terry is not too worried about this. Even though the Warriors scored more than the Trail Blazers in a single quarter, that was mainly because they caught the Trail Blazers off guard with the first 8 points. When the Trail Blazers adjusted their lineup, the scoring ratio between the two sides was 33. :28, the Trail Blazers are 5 points higher than the Warriors.

Coach Terry had no intention of adjusting the lineup in the final quarter. Wang Zelin scored 25 points in a single quarter and 38 points in three quarters. It was like a god descending from the earth. He decided to let Wang Zelin continue the violent scoring mode and strive to defeat the opponent in the final quarter.

Warriors bench.

Cole no longer had the stability he had before. He did not expect that the Warriors sent out five dead players. After taking the lead at 8:0, they only ended up with three more points than the Trail Blazers.

Such a result is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, he decided not to change the formation in the final quarter and let the fifth primary school players play the entire game.

At this moment, the coaches of both sides reached an agreement on the tactics and strategies of the final quarter.

beep~~~
With a whistle, the game restarted.

Players from both sides appeared on the stage, and there was a rush of excitement.

"Both sides have not changed their players. It seems they are planning to fight to the end!"

Tencent studio, Yang Yi said in surprise.

"Unlike the first game, where the competition between the two sides was limited to testing, now the series has entered a white-hot stage. Every game is a critical battle, a battle of life and death, whether it is Steve Kerr or Terry Stotts. I won’t give victory to others. It’s time to fight hard!”

Ke Fan on the side explained.

The Blazers' first attack in the final quarter.

Wang Zelin simply formed a team in the backcourt, advanced to the frontcourt, faced Green's defense, and dribbled directly to his left hand.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Wang Zelin's extremely large crossover was so stunning that it made Green, who was guarding him, break into a cold sweat, fearing that the opponent would accidentally pass him by.

A 2 meter tall center plays with his feet in front of you and asks you if you are afraid?
"Kevin, double team!"

Cole felt something bad and quickly stood up and shouted towards Durant.

However, the next moment, during the pull-up before the crossover, when the basketball was thrown out elegantly by Wang Zelin with his fingertips, Durant could only watch the ball and sigh!

I don’t know why, but when I see Wang Zelin frequently scoring the ball with unanswered shots in the second half, he always feels like looking in the mirror.

No, it wasn't just as simple as looking in the mirror, it was more like he saw an all-around extended version of himself!

Whether it is height, wingspan, disguised distance, or shooting height, Wang Zelin is all above him.

Especially after Wang Zelin scores a goal, Durant will have a constipated expression on his face.

This feeling is so uncomfortable!
Durant knocked down Wang Zelin.

"Shh!"

The ball whistle!

Rose Garden Square cheers!

It's boiling, it's completely boiling, the whole stadium is like a pot of boiling water, the fans are cheering Wang Zelin's name, screaming and applauding.

Swift stood up again. She was wearing a white T-shirt on her upper body and a pair of denim shorts on her lower body. She was simple and elegant but still showed her youthfulness. Especially when he stood up, everyone's eyes would subconsciously focus on the reverse pair. On the long legs.

She waved her arms and danced briskly. At this moment, he had completely integrated into the cheerful atmosphere of the Trail Blazers fans.

"MVP!!!"

"MVP!!!"

"MVP!!!"

Durant's face was as black as charcoal at this moment. Although everyone couldn't tell whether it was black or not, to the "little handsome man", he was really unhappy!
Some people imitated my face, and some imitated my...ah, Wang Zelin faced his facial cumshot 2+1, which always reminded him of the way he used to facial cumshot others.

Only this time he became a backdrop!

Durant thought to himself, no, I must return one later!
Just as Durant was making up for the loss and was about to go to the blue background to get a spot, Wang Zelin, who was in the home court, winked at Durant: "Kevin, do you feel comfortable being under someone else's roof? It's been a long time since you've had it. Have you heard such MVP cheers?"

"..."

Durant felt like he had been stabbed in the chest, and his face turned darker.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Wang Zelin smiled, and then with a "swish" sound, he steadily hit the extra penalty!
Offensive and defensive conversion.

Thompson took advantage of the gravity of his good friend, successfully circled from the left corner to the right, ran out of an open opportunity, received the pass, and took a decisive shot.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind!

Wang Zelin, who was sitting in the penalty area, had long noticed Thompson's little move. When Thompson approached the right corner, he quickly followed up. The moment Thompson took action, he hit a bloody block on his head and face.

"Let me remind you, everything past the three-point line is my territory!"

Wang Zelin slapped the ball out of bounds and spat out trash talk at Thompson.

"roll!"

Thompson was in a very depressed mood.

He forgot that the speed of the guy in front of him in assisting defense was top-notch in the league, completely comparable to the top wings. He was really too careless.

The Warriors sent the sideline to reorganize the offense.

Durant seized the opportunity to cut in, jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand and slammed it towards the basket.

At this time, Wang Zelin was facing away from the basket and seemed to have no time to turn around.

Judging from Durant's decisive look, it seems that he can't wait to see Wang Zelin become the backdrop for his top five goals.

But just when he reached the highest point, he saw Wang Zelin turning around!

Shet!Why is this guy so fast?
But there was no retreat at all. Durant used his right hand hard and slammed the ball into the basket.

There must be time!

"Snapped!"

It turns out that he thinks too much.

When Wang Zelin turned around, he directly knocked Wang Zelin to the ground with a palm move that fell from the sky.

"Fake..."

Before "Squid" could say it, Durant felt himself fall heavily to the ground.

The moment he landed, he felt like he was almost leaving this beautiful world.

No, he hasn't drank Scarlett's foot-washing water yet.

Cole was frightened by this scene and immediately became furious. He rushed to the sideline and roared wildly: "That's a murderous move! He committed a foul. Mr. referee, didn't you see it?"

However, the referee ignored Cole and turned his attention to the court.

After Wang Zelin won the ball, seeing that the referee was not enjoying it, he sighed that it was better to play at home, and then immediately launched a fast break!

Just kidding, the referees are really giving their best. If we don’t attack now, when will we wait?
Wang Zelin defended in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Beverley who followed up from the left. The latter took an open shot from the 45-degree three-point line on the left and scored three points.

The home fans were excited again.

Since the Blazers changed their lineup, they have quickly suppressed the Warriors' five small offenses and continued to launch defensive counterattacks. If they were not careful, the Blazers were already leading by double digits.

In desperation, the Warriors could only apply for a timeout.

On the one hand, he hopes to interrupt Wang Zelin's touch, and on the other hand, he needs to appease Durant's injured little heart.

After the timeout, the lineups of both sides remain unchanged.

The Warriors used the five players to desperately chase points, but facing Wang Zelin, who had completely turned on the dominance mode, even if the Warriors tried their best, they could not limit his crazy scoring.

In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers and Warriors tied at 29, but relying on the lead accumulated in the third quarter, they finally defeated the Warriors again 115:110.

Wang Zelin scored 20 points in the final quarter and scored 45 points in the entire second half. He completely took over the game!

It really fulfilled what he promised as the coach before: I will take action when necessary!

On the Warriors side.

The Splash Brothers made a total of 12 three-pointers and scored 50+ points, and Durant scored 31 points...

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to join the empty slashing group again tonight.

After the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were trailing 0-2. It could be said that they were completely in hell mode! (End of chapter)
