NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 494 8 caps in a single game, win the Heat
After the pause.

James took the serve from the backcourt and transported it to the audience step by step.

The key goal is undoubtedly handed over to the strongest player to handle it.

Can the little emperor save the Heat?

At this moment, not only the Heat fans who came to the scene, but also the fans in Miami who were watching the game before transforming, became nervous in unison.

The next attack can be said to be quite critical. Only by scoring can the morale of the Heat in the middle of the game continue; if they fail to score, the Heat will basically be finished tonight.

For the Heat's offense, James did not choose to start at the three-point line, but went into the low post, and then played Batum with his back.

According to statistics, James' shooting percentage at the basket this season has reached a career-high 79.6%, which is infinitely close to 80%. This is a data that many high-quality insiders can hardly match.

As an outside line with a height of 2 meters, James's shooting rate at the basket is inseparable from the back-up skills that he practiced frantically after a year of losing to the Mavericks.

Now, James, who has already won two consecutive championships, is bound to become more and more proficient in his back-up skills, and Batum can't stand it at all!

"LeBron, familiar position, skilled turnaround jumper... Oh, Sheter, it's the king! How did he appear in that position?"

In the middle of Kenny Smith's words, he suddenly opened his mouth, with a look of shock on his face.

It's Wang Zelin again!
He made a timely supplementary defense again!
Including James on the field, he hit his back and then turned around. Just as the ball was shot, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him...

How could he be here?

James was dumbfounded on the spot, and his brain crashed for a while.

"Snapped!"

There was a loud noise, and the ball was slapped hard and flew out of bounds.

The audience was silent, and then, deafening cheers spread instantly. Everyone stood up, applauded crazily, and celebrated crazily...

Congratulations, the birth of Wang Zelin's record of 7 blocks in a single game in the finals!

Suddenly, a series of statistics were displayed on the big screen.

Since 1985, when the NBA officially bid farewell to the barbaric era and entered the modern basketball system, he has held the top 10 record holders in single-game blocks in the NBA Finals over the years.

排在榜首的赫然是2008~2009赛季巅峰魔兽德怀特霍华德率领魔术对阵湖人比赛中砍下的16分21篮板9盖帽4抢断2助攻的记录。

The most blocked shots in a single game in the finals is held by Howard.

排在霍华德后面的，分别由2002~2003赛季总决赛的邓肯邓肯、2000~2001赛季总决赛的沙奎尔奥尼尔、1993~1994赛季总决赛的帕克里克尤因以及1985~1986赛季总决赛的哈基姆奥拉朱旺四人并列砍下的单场8记封盖。

Then, there is the record winner of 5 blocks in a single game 7 times, and most of the names of these record holders are on it, so I won't count them in detail.

5次当场送出7记封盖的比赛中，邓肯2次、尤因1次、奥拉朱旺1次，以及……拜纳姆在09~10赛季黄绿大战总决赛也做到过了1次。

And now, behind these great records, a new name will be added, and he is No. 36 Wang Zelin from the Portland Trail Blazers.

There is no doubt that when Wang Zelin's 7 blocks appeared on this group of lists, the Blazers were ecstatic, but for the Heat, it was another big blow.

Don't forget, tonight's game is not over yet, there is still a whole quarter left.

Judging from Wang Zelin's current state, it is entirely possible for him to push his block record one step forward...

8 records in a single game?
No, 9 marks in a single game is not impossible.

Even... comparable to the peak Warcraft!
At this moment, in Pioneer 36, they saw a vast future like the sea of ​​stars!

"Stable! This game is stable! Look at it, you have to rely on defense at critical moments! Good defense is the best way to win the finals!"

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"James was stunned by this wave of defense. No, the entire Heat team was stunned by the king's defense. The Trail Blazers must take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"

Yu Jia was equally excited.

As they said, in the last one or two minutes of the third quarter, the Blazers relied on the violent morale driven by Wang Zelin's epic defensive performance, and the whole team made the defense to the extreme.

In the next losing round, except for Wade's breakthrough layup, which caused Aldridge to foul and made two free throws and scored 2 points, no one in the Heat team scored.

At 78:70, the Blazers entered the final quarter with an 8-point advantage.

The point difference seems to be small, and the Heat seem to have the possibility of a reversal, but everyone knows that the Heat are powerless in this game.

Everyone understands that since Wang Zelin surpassed the red giant Bill Walton, set the record for the most blocked shots in a single game in the history of the Trail Blazers, and successfully entered the history list of blocked shots in a single game in the finals, the door to victory is really open to them.

During the intermission, the director broadcasts from time to time.Show the camera to the active NBA stars and retired celebrities who come to watch the game.

Among them, Shaquille O'Neal and Bill Walton spend the most energy time, and all of them add up to less than 20 seconds. These two legendary NBA centers occupy a full 10 seconds of footage, 5 seconds each.

When the camera hit the two, O'Neill and Bill Walton smiled and looked up, saying hello to the fans watching the game all over the world through the camera.

In the end, the camera returned to the front of the Blazers' bench, and it was fixed on the Blazers No. 36, who kept a serious expression.

From a great center who has long since retired to the current No. [-] center in active service in the league, his intention is not the same...

Center inheritance!

Yes, tonight's finals can be regarded as a classic battle of Wang Zelin's career. Even if he loses to the Heat in the next series, this game will become an eternal memory in the hearts of a generation.

Because in this name from China, countless fans can see that the torch of the center's inheritance has never been cut off.

……

Into the last quarter.

The coaches of both sides have not made personnel adjustments, because they know that this is already the strongest lineup that the team can send.

First attack.

The Trail Blazers have the ball.

Lillard had just received the ball in the backcourt. Suddenly, tens of thousands of Trail Blazers fans stood up and shouted:

"Give the ball to the king!"

"Give the ball to the king!"

"Give the ball to the king!"

TNT commentary seats.

Kenneth Smith elbowed Barkley next to him, facing the latter's puzzled expression, he said with emotion:

"Charles, I seem to have seen the birth of a new king!"

"The birth of a new king?"

Not only Barkley, but fans watching this game all over the world at this time are thinking about this sentence carefully.

Yes!

There is a saying that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach!"

Since entering modern basketball, the update and iteration speed of the NBA has been getting faster and faster. How long has it been since LeBron James sat on the throne, and new challengers are already eager to try.

A new king is born? !
On the court, James naturally heard Kenneth Smith's words, and there is no need to say more about who the "new king" in the words refers to.

Of course, James would not hand over the supremacy of the league to others, but when he thought of the "impeccable" performance of the boy on the opposite side tonight, a sense of powerlessness suddenly hit him.

In the blink of an eye, Lillard was in the frontcourt.

Without hesitation, his choice was to pass the ball to Wang Zelin.

Wang Zelin received the ball, faced Birdman's defense, bent down and took a step. The latter quickly retreated, completely frightened by Wang Zelin's actions.

However, the expected physical collision did not happen. Wang Zelin retracted his right foot, raised his hand and pressed his wrist, and hit the shot.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Although it wasn't the violent basket bombing performance that was expected, when the fans saw Wang Zelin scoring points on the opponent in a leisurely manner, cheers soon followed.

At 80:70, the Blazers took a 10-point lead.

"The Heat desperately need someone to step up and score... Oh, Dwyane's mid-range shot, short!"

"The rebound was accepted by Wang, oh wait, how did his rebounding data come to 15!"

"Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers made a quick layup, and a beautiful alley-oop layup! What are the Heat doing, are you sleepwalking?"

"Ray Allen made a three-pointer and was interfered..."

On the one hand, they wanted to chase points urgently, on the other hand, they wanted to end the game early, and the game fell into a state of intense anxiety.

Then, the leading side chose to make steady progress, while the lagging side played more and more impatiently.

Unknowingly, most of the final quarter of the game has been carried out. With the whistle of the referee, all members of the Heat team walked to the bench with heavy steps as if they woke up from dehydration.

After returning to the bench and wiping the sweat off his face, James seemed to think of something, raised his head suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the scoreboard, and he hadn't lowered his head for a long time.

"LeBron, you did your best."

Heat coach Spoelstra came to James' side at some point, patted the latter's shoulder lightly, and glanced at the scoreboard, then lowered his head and shook:

"This game, we lost!"

It turned out that the scoreboard immediately showed that the score of the two teams was 96:79, and the Heat had fallen behind by a full 17 points.

And from the end of the game, only the last 3 minutes.

Comparing the gap between the players of the two teams at this time, it is not easy to equalize with 3 points in 17 minutes.

I'm afraid, it may not be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"we lose?"

After hearing what the coach said, James lowered his head sadly like a deflated ball, muttering to himself.

"we lose!"

Beside, when other Heat players find that their boss's state has become so negative, let alone them.

Return to the field for a while.

When the camera was shown to the Heat, people suddenly discovered that the Big Three of James, Wade, and Bosh were all sitting on the court honestly, and the Big Three of the Heat did not play.

Did the Heat choose to give up the game?
This seemingly unbelievable idea suddenly popped into some people's minds.After all, they are the defending champions!
However, when they saw the large score difference on the scoreboard, they suddenly understood something.

That's right, the game may have been doomed to lose the Heat at the moment when the Trail Blazers' No. 36 seed exploded.

It really doesn't make much sense to hold on to such a game.

Just as some fans were lamenting that the game had officially ended and they were about to leave the field, there was sudden carnival sound from all around.

What happened to the kidney?

The fans who hadn't paid attention to the game just now were frightened, and suddenly looked around, and finally fixed their eyes on the big screen after getting a reminder to treat the patient.

It turned out that in the offensive round when the Heat came back from a timeout, the Heat's substitute player Michael Beasley went to the basket and wanted to show off his physical fitness, but was eventually chased by the Trail Blazers No. 36 and nailed the big hat.

The patron saint of the pioneers once again successfully defended his territory with a bloody warning.

"This is my place, please get out!"

A simple-sounding sentence, combined with the crazy cry of the home DJ "block the 8th shot", made this scene on the field forever engraved in everyone's mind.

Block 8?
This is... Chapter 8 is sealed!

Everyone is amazed.

In front of the Heat's bench, James and Wade looked at each other, and both saw the bitter smiles on each other's faces at this moment.

"Dwyane, maybe we chose to give up this game, it's right!"

James was extremely helpless.

After returning to the bench and sitting down, James, covering his head with a towel, simulated every bit of tonight's game over and over again in his mind, but in the end he found that even if he was given another chance, he still couldn't find the key to victory when facing such a guy.

Unless, Dwyane can return to the top...

Alas, how is this possible?

Sensing James' depressed mood, Wade ignored Wang Zelin's miraculous performance, and quickly looked at the former seriously:
"LeBron, don't say such disheartening words! Wang is in such a good state tonight, our game can only be said to be God's arrangement. But I still don't believe it. In every next game, he can maintain tonight's state."

"Don't forget, our department has won more than one time in the finals. I don't understand that. Are you right?"

"you're right!"

Feeling the good intentions of his good friends, James nodded heavily, and then continued to focus on the No. 36 Blazers on the court.

In the next game, I won't lose again!
Trailblazers over there.

Seeing that after Wang Zelin finally scored 8 blocks, Terry Stotts called a timeout when he switched offense and defense in the next round.

"Wang, do you still want to fight?"

After the game, he asked, and everyone turned their attention to Wang Zelin.

If he chooses to continue playing, Wang Zelin might surpass Howard's record of 10 blocked shots in the finals and enjoy the possibility of being the number one in history. After all, there is still a long time before the end of the game.

Asking themselves, they feel that there is no such temptation that can be solved.

Then they didn't expect that Wang Zelin just replied with a simple sentence with a smile:

"I'm tired!"

Then, the fans in the stands shouted until their voices were hoarse, and they didn't play again.

……

……

Finally, the first game of the finals is over.

The Trail Blazers beat the defending champion Heat 101:87 at home with 14 points.

Wang Zelin contributed an astonishing 8 blocks in his first show in the finals, which became the biggest topic in the entire sports circle that night.
