Chapter 435 The Chicken Soup Master is now a nightmare man(1/2)
Although Lillard's current perimeter defensive ability is much better than what Wang Zelin remembered, it is still not enough when facing Paul. The Clippers will attack him on this point.
At a 45-degree angle on the left wing, Paul and Griffin played a familiar pick-and-roll and suddenly rushed toward the bottom corner. Lillard was unable to catch up, allowing Paul to seize the opportunity.
There was a two-point position in the bottom corner. Paul decisively pulled up and shot almost from an open position, successfully hitting a goal.
2:2, the two sides tied.
"The tacit understanding between Paul and Griffin is really high!" Wang Meng sighed.
Zhang Lili followed: "Yes."
On the field.
"Be careful to switch defenses, don't let that guy get angry again..."
When Wang Zelin saw that Paul scored the first offense on the Clippers' side, he immediately remembered the unfriendly memories of the previous game and quickly gave some words to his teammates.
"clear."
Lillard nodded in response.
Trail Blazers offense.
The four of them opened up and emptied the Clippers' penalty area. Wang Zelin took advantage of the situation and walked to the basket to hit Jordan alone.
"Double-team him!"
On the sidelines, Clippers coach Doc Rivers shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Griffin immediately pounced on Wang Zelin.
Lillard looked at Wang Zelin and hesitated for a moment. When he saw the latter grabbing the ball with his right hand, he immediately gave the ball decisively.
"Snapped!"
The moment Wang Zelin grabbed the ball with one hand, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan had formed a double-team a mile away.
"Do you want to force it?"
Kenny Smith was a little confused.
This game was also broadcast live on TNT TV, and the on-site commentary was provided by the combination of Kenny Smith and Chris Webber.
"I don't think he is that reckless!"
Weber gave his own opinion.
In Weber's view, Wang Zelin's spirituality in organization and coordination is as good as his own back then. People of his own caliber will naturally not have low emotional intelligence. He should...
The next moment, a scene on the field made him shut his mouth and look helpless.
I saw Wang Zelin receiving the ball with one hand, and then making a fierce force.
There was a sound of "Bang!", and it was obvious to the naked eye that Jordan couldn't hold it anymore. He retreated and turned around to take action.
In the next moment, Wang Zelin turned sideways and hit the basket with a swing of the ball, without caring about the feelings of Griffin behind him.
Stop looking down on others!
Griffin roared in his heart, his feet jumped up like springs, followed by Wang Zelin, and he stretched out his right hand in an attempt to block the shot.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the Clippers' basket was exploded again.
4:2, the Trail Blazers lead away from home.
Griffin's take-off timing was accurate and his shot-blocking timing was timely, but he ignored another problem.
That means his wingspan is not enough!
"Give up, Blake, with your short hands, you will never be able to beat me once in your life!"
After landing, Wang Zelin lost any of the friendliness he had during the pre-match banter and started laughing mercilessly.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Griffin's entire face turned dark, and he watched Wang Zelin go away gloomily.
"Hard!"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"It's indeed tough! It's hard to imagine that the king's dominance has reached such an extent!"
Wang Meng looked incredulous.
When the Clippers attack, Paul still holds the ball.
This time, Paul had just passed halftime, and Lillard immediately pounced on him and stayed close to him.
The two struggled for a while, but Paul still couldn't get rid of Lillard. He happened to see Jamal Crawford empty and immediately passed the ball.
On the right wing, Jamal Crawford controls the ball.
At this time, Trail Blazers small forward Batum stepped down from the right three-point line to cover.
"Duang~"
Jamal Crawford took off quickly, but unfortunately he missed the shot and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
"Come on baby!"
Wang Zelin moved first and grabbed the rebound over Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
As soon as he landed, Jordan and Griffin immediately pounced on him and trapped him.
But at this time, Wang Zelin used his legs for the second time, jumped up again, and threw with one hand in the air towards Aldridge outside the three-point line on the left wing.
The fast-moving small forward Matt Barnes quickly rushed over and defended Aldridge closely. The latter immediately passed the ball from the former's head to Lillard, who was two steps away from the three-point line at the top of the arc.
After Lillard received the ball, he ran all the way, but because Paul was chasing after him, Lillard did not choose to do it himself, but passed it back to Matthews on the other side.
At this time, Paul was the only one in the Clippers' frontcourt who rushed back and forth in time to guard against Lillard and naturally had no time to take care of Matthews.
Matthews took an open three-point shot, and the ball came.
7:2, the Trail Blazers lead by 5 points.
"The Trail Blazers' tactics of one inside and four outside today was surprisingly effective!" Weber said with a smile.
"This tactic is a great test of the inside players' speed and awareness of assisting in defense. If it is not done well, the opponent will frequently make successful cuts... Fortunately, Wang Zelin has done a good job in this job!" Kenneth Smith said.
Clippers attack.
Paul no longer holds the ball too much. Instead, he and other teammates all open up the space, and Jamal Crawford holds the ball instead, and the latter attacks first.
Jamal Crawford, who had ample room to operate this time, once again showed the world his rich and virtuous singles skills. After continuously moving his crotch backwards, he suddenly made a coquettish backhand pass and broke through Matthews's goal.
Defending on the outside, he went straight to the Trail Blazers penalty area.
But at this time, Wang Zelin, the last patron saint, is still under the basket. Will Jamal Crawford choose to challenge Wang Zelin?
Of course NO!
Under the basket, Wang Zelin saw Matthews' defense miss and immediately dropped Jordan and tried to defend Jamal Crawford.
After the latter took a few steps in, he suddenly braked one step outside the paint area and took a slightly backward mid-range shot.
"Whoosh!"
Successful hit.
"Yes!"
Everyone on the Clippers bench saw Jamal Tiger's singles skills and stood up to cheer.
The score on the field became 4:7, and the Clippers were still one three-pointer away from recovering the score.
This is when Lillard advanced to the top of the arc, and Wang Zelin suddenly withdrew from the penalty area and reached the high post.

Jordan's reaction speed is also very fast, and this guy has no other skills. His running and jumping ability is definitely the first among many insiders in the league.
Sure enough, after Wang Zelin stood high and received the ball, Lillard turned around and ran from the three-point line to a low corner. At the same time, the other three teammates also quickly started running according to the tactical requirements.
Humph, you haven’t been guarded by me!
Jordan, who was guarding Wang Zelin, was slightly happy in his heart, but on the surface he remained serious, with his hands spread out, always wary of any move by the former.
Time passed quickly and the ball was still in Wang Zelin's hands.
In the live broadcast booth of the Imperial TV station, whether it was Zhang Lili or Wang Meng on the scene, or the Chinese fans watching the game on the TV on the other side of the ocean, the sense of urgency in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
Move quickly! Move quickly!
Time is running out, move quickly...
At this time, the situation inside and outside the court, to use a popular metaphor, is a typical "the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is."
Fortunately, Wang Zelin on the court seemed to hear the voices of countless expectants, and finally made a move when the offensive round entered the single-digit countdown.
He took back his high-flying posture, turned 90 degrees to the right, and hit Jordan with his back.
"Bag……"
