93. Wang Zhi's 36 Points Set A New High In The Playoffs!

Facing the situation where Christie, the king's outside defensive gate, took the initiative to defend, Wang Zhi did not choose to face the difficulties and directly singled out. Instead, he found an opportunity and passed the ball to Finley to form an assist.

This performance was somewhat beyond the expectations of the fans.

But there is no doubt that as long as goals are scored, the fans will naturally be happy!

Moreover, this kind of handling of the ball not only made the old Nelson on the sidelines smile and nodded, but even his teammates gave Wang Zhi a thumbs up!

Obviously, this is a very reasonable way of handling the ball.

Although Wang Zhi has a very strong one-on-one technique, this one-on-one technique allows him to score the ball when facing top perimeter defenders like Kobe, but Christie's defense is not necessarily better than Kobe's.

But Wang Zhi still made a smarter choice.

Peja Stojakovic may be the weakest defensive link in the entire Kings team. Even though his height has reached 206, his lack of athletic ability and speed often put him at a disadvantage in perimeter defense.

In addition, Wang Zhi analyzed from the situation of playing a few rounds and having teammates directing from the sidelines that Peja's defensive position selection on the court will most likely not be good.

In this way, after the Kings made a defensive switch, Wang Zhi found an opportunity and formed an assist!

Kings attack, Webber's shooting finally hit the iron.

In this way, this round of confrontation between Wang Zhi and Weber finally came to an end temporarily.

In the Mavericks round, Wang Zhi once again attracted Christie's defense and returned the ball to Nash, who made a running shot with horseback archery after breaking through.

17:20

The Mavericks caught up with the score, Kings coach Rick Adelman chose a timeout!

From 5:14 to 17:20

After replacing Wang Zhi, the Mavericks played a wave of chasing points. Although Chris Webber played extremely well during this period, the Mavericks' firepower was even more intense.

For Adelman, Wang Zhi's sudden outburst was something he didn't expect!

Indeed, they had discussed and observed Wang Zhi before the game, and thought that this second-year rookie was indeed a bit of a level, but they didn't expect it to be so fierce!

In just a few minutes, he scored 7 points in a row, and he must be targeted!

However, in fact, Adelman did not dare to put too many defensive resources on players other than Nowitzki. In his opinion, when playing against the Mavericks, Nowitzki must not let this point go.

Michael Finley, too, couldn't play.

He said to the team members: "That guy (Wang Zhi), let him shoot, can he still be accurate for the whole game? Guard the others, and we can win!"

After the timeout ended, the fans in Dallas unexpectedly found that the Kings did not take care of Wang Zhi who was hot on the defensive end, and still only sent a single player to defend.

Then, Wang Zhi is not welcome!

Taking advantage of the hot feeling, he and Nash started another round of consecutive points.

As for the Kings, after Webb scored 6 points in a row before, he began to hit the iron continuously.

You can only rely on the system to score points sporadically.

In an instant, the momentum was reversed by the Mavericks!

After Nash and Wang Zhi made consecutive hits, the Kings' defense had to be expanded. In this way, LaFrentz also got a lot of scoring opportunities!

After the first quarter, the Mavericks came from behind and even scored 39:21, leading by 18 points in a single quarter!

Among them, Wang Zhi's performance was the most eye-catching. He made 6 of 7 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 4 three-pointers, scored 15 points and added 2 assists.

Steve Nash also scored 10 points and 2 assists.

Nowitzki and Finley, who were the king's key defenders, were 1 for 4 and 2 for 8 respectively. Their defense did achieve results, but they still fell into a huge disadvantage.

The Mavericks fans at the scene have been in the carnival for a long time. They kept shouting the names of "Wang Zhi" and "Nash". Obviously, the turning point of the first quarter came after Zhi Zhi appeared on the field.

It can be seen that Wang Zhi will probably become an important factor affecting the outcome of this round!

Long Guo, the Long Guo fans who got up early to watch the playoffs were all dumbfounded, completely shocked by Wang Zhi's single performance.

Wang Zhi this guy, 15 points in a single quarter, a bit aggressive!

"This state is too hot. If we continue to play like this, how many points will he score in the game?"

"He played very well in the last round, especially those two games with 25 points and 28 points. Now he is playing against the stronger Kings, and he is even more fierce?"

"The playoffs make people improve. It would be great if the Rockets and Dayao can also make it to the playoffs!"

The Mavericks fans at the scene were teasing that the Kings only scored 21 points in a single quarter, but soon, they will witness a super-scoring battle!

Because Wang Zhi had a lot of playing time in the first quarter, so the first time he brought him to the court will not be much.

In the bench lineup, Wang Zhi played more than 4 minutes, scored 4 points on 2 of 2 shots, and sent 2 assists. Together with Van Exel who scored 8 points, he helped the Mavericks continue to expand their lead. The point difference once reached more than 20 points.

However, when the two sides switched back to the main lineup and Wang Zhi went off to rest, the situation changed suddenly.

After the slump in the first quarter and adequate rest and adaptation, the Princeton system of the Kings began to work hard. Webber and Peja combined internally and externally and made continuous efforts, making it difficult for the Mavericks to cope.

Although the Kings invested a lot of energy on the offensive end, their rotation speed on the defensive end slowed down, and they had to give up double-teaming, which gave Nowitzki a lot of scoring opportunities

But two fists are no match for four hands!

Although Dirk Nowitzki scored 6 of 6 in a single quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws with a 100% shooting rate, he scored 18 points.

But for the Kings, Peja scored 17 points in a single quarter and Webber scored 15 points, playing a wave of super attacks.

Fortunately, the rotation lineup led by Wang Zhi and Van Exel had some advantages.

Throughout the second quarter, the Mavericks won the Kings by 4 points 44:40.

After halftime, the Mavericks played at home 83:61, leading the home team by 22 points!

There is no doubt that this is a typical Mavericks explosive offense!

Scoring 83 points in the half, this kind of offensive efficiency is simply a terrifying existence in this era!

This is the horror that occurs when the jumper team hits the line.

Throughout the first half, the Mavericks made 32 of 50 shots, a hit rate of 64%.

And outside the three-point line, he was 11 of 17, with a hit rate of 64.7%!

Nowitzki scored 21 points in the half, Wang Zhi 19 points, Nash 15 points, and even though he scored 3 of 11, Finley, who was the only hip-pull, scored 10 points.

This is the Mavericks in Nelson's ideal state.

Who can withstand such firepower?

In fact, the offense of the Kings is not bad, with 61 points in the half, a very excellent score.

50% field goal percentage and 40% three-point shooting percentage are also excellent.

But today their opponent is too perverted!

However, the Kings are not in a hurry.

Whether it is head coach Adelman or the players, the players seem to be familiar with this situation.

The Kings and Mavericks both belong to the Western Conference, and they are both strong teams in the playoffs. They have to play against each other many times every season, so they naturally know each other's characteristics.

The Mavericks' explosive scoring is indeed very strong!

But they can't explode like this all the time, and even if it does happen tonight, they can't do it every game.

Simply put, the performance of the Mavericks is a super-level play.

What the Kings need to do is to play steadily and wait for the Mavericks' shooting percentage to drop.

However, it turns out that tonight, the king's calculations are going to fail.

At the start of the second half, the Kings slowed down their offense.

Obviously, they found the crux of the problem.

Although the Kings are not bad offensively and defensively, they look like a balanced offensive and defensive team, but in fact, they are still more offensive-oriented and are an offensive team.

The balance of offense and defense is just like that of the Mavericks.

Compared with the real defensive teams in the league, they are an out-and-out offensive team.

In this era, offensive teams like to speed up the pace of the game to get more points and win.

But after the contest in the first half, the Kings found that they would naturally suffer a disadvantage if they played against the Mavericks who were full of touch.

So in the second half, what the Kings did first was to slow down the speed!

Only by slowing down the speed and making the Mavericks uncomfortable and unable to play so many offensive rounds can they chase the score back bit by bit.

It has to be said that the idea is good, but the actual situation is often very different from the assumption.

After slowing down, the Kings did limit the offense of the Mavericks to a certain extent, and after slowing down, the Kings can continue to invest energy on the defensive end against Nowitzki

Seeing that the offensive efficiency of the Mavericks is about to drop, but with the appearance of Wang Zhi, the balance is broken again.

Although Wang Zhi's hands were no longer so hot in the second half, he still scored 4 of 8 in a single quarter, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 10 points!

Finley, who was crazy in the first half, also stood up and scored 9 points in this quarter.

On the other hand, the Kings didn't have a good offense. Except for Webber who contributed 10 points, no one else could stand out.

In this quarter, the Mavericks played a 30:24

After three quarters, the Mavericks are already 113:85, leading by 28 points!

For Mavericks fans, this night was crazy!

Scoring 113 points in three quarters, this is a scoring feast!

And the opponent is still a powerful king. I have to say that buying tickets to watch this game tonight is really a profit, and it is a great profit because of it!

Although leading by 28 points and entering the last quarter does not mean that they can win 100% of the time, but with such a point difference, there is almost no probability that the opponent can win.

From this point of view, tonight must be a good night of celebration.

There are many tragedies in the NBA where a huge lead in the last quarter was overturned. Among them, the Mavericks have become the background board several times.

Even though the difference of 28 points is too big, Nelson will not let down his vigilance.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Zhi, Van Exel and Finley were still on the field together to do the finishing work.

When Wang Zhi and Van Exel scored 7 points respectively, and the opponents saw no hope of a comeback, they changed into a rotation lineup and surrendered. Old Nelson also changed into an out-of-rotation lineup in due course for training.

In the end, the whole game ended, and the Mavericks beat the incoming Kings 132:110 at home, making a good start to the Western Conference semifinals.

For the Mavericks, Wang Zhi became the most eye-catching player in the game, scoring 14 of 19, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 6 free throws, and scored the highest 36 points.

Plus 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

In addition, Nowitzki and Finley both scored 24 points, and Nash made 8 of 11 shots and scored 19 points and 8 assists. Van Exel also scored 15 points.

Kings side, Chris Webber scored 31 points, Peja 24 points.

At the end of the game, the entire American Airlines Center was still immersed in the joy of victory. The fans shouted and reveled excitedly, and looked forward to a better future!

"`~ See it, I said, Wang Zhi will definitely explode in the playoffs, and he is the biggest contributor to winning tonight."

"Look at our team, it's simply invincible, almost defeated the Kings in three quarters, leading by BO points!"

"This season, we can finally pass the Kings!"

Yes, a big victory is a great motivation for both the team and the fans.

Especially when facing a powerful opponent, this kind of motivation is particularly important.

Wang Zhi also became the darling of the on-site media for the first time. In the past, after the game, the on-site reporters would immediately go to interview Nowitzki, or Nash, or Captain Finley.

But tonight was different, the reporters rushed to interview Wang Zhi as soon as possible.

Wang Zhi is very happy!

36 points, this is his new high in the playoffs!

But for him, the harvest is far more than that!

Wang Zhi, who averaged 19 points per game against the Trail Blazers in the last round, actually didn't quite get used to playing many times.

The intensity of the NBA playoffs is completely different from that of the regular season. More importantly, the team plays more tactically and pertinently.

Respond flexibly and respond immediately.

It's no longer like the regular season, just follow the coach's pre-match arrangement and play step by step.

So in fact, throughout the first round, Wang Zhi was in the process of adapting to the huge changes in the game most of the time.

Tonight, he seems to have finally adapted and found his own rhythm of the game.

(Li Zhao) In the distant Dragon Kingdom, a game is over and it's time for dinner.

The performance of the Mavericks and Wang Zhi left these Dragon Kingdom fans dumbfounded!

"Is this really a playoff game in the Western Conference semifinals? To get this many points?"

"The offensive firepower of the Mavericks is too strong. It would be nice if the Rockets could have this kind of performance."

"My God, that traitor Wang Zhi actually played the most brilliant performance in the audience, is it true or not?"

"...Strong, really strong...so strong that I dare not call him a traitor."

In one playoff game, Wang Zhi used his performance to bring back a lot of the extremely poor reputation among his own fans.

After all, in the basketball circle, strength is everything.

As long as you are strong enough, so what if you are a villain?

At the same time, in the Dragon National Basketball Association, when everyone watched the live broadcast together, everyone looked at the big leader of the basketball association.

After a long silence, the big leader finally spoke: "Look again, let's look again.

righteous...

The next day, Wang Zhi, who scored 36 points, appeared on the headlines of the basketball page!

His handsome face is especially suitable for appearing on the website page, coupled with his special style of play, the discussions he has sparked are also very heated.

Before the start of the playoffs, most fans were actually not optimistic about Wang Zhi's ability to play in the playoffs.

Some people even think that he can't even get 10 points per game, because Wang Zhi's style of play doesn't seem tough enough at all. In the playoffs where the intensity is upgraded, he can't play the regular season at all.

That kind of performance.

However, in the first round against the Trail Blazers, Wang Zhi averaged 19 points per game!

To be honest, although this statistic is not eye-catching, it still surprised a large number of fans.

Now, Wang Zhi is on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals, scoring 36 points extremely efficiently in Game 1 and winning a big game.

Fans are stunned!

They all said: "Could it be that this Dragon Country player Wang Zhi has become famous in one fell swoop by virtue of his post-season attributes?".
