NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 688

Popular recommendation:

Wang Zelin scored 22 points in the half, at least half of which came from the second attack at the basket, and the firepower output was stronger than the previous game.

But in the third quarter, the Cavaliers started another wave of strong chasing points under the leadership of Zhan Ou.

Perhaps it was the 15-minute break in midfield that made James calm down a lot. Instead of continuing to play long shots, he continued to attack the basket with home advantage, and even the Blazers' double-team could not prevent him from scoring!

Coupled with Irving's continuous mid-range output, the Cavaliers tied the score after three quarters.

84:84 Flat!

In this quarter, James made 5 of 10 shots, 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 17 points with nearly double-digit free throws!

According to statistics, this year's finals is the one with the most shots in James' previous finals on average. There is absolutely no shadow of the former reasonable Zhan in him. He has completely turned into a singles Zhan!

At the same time, draws, stalemates, and alternate leads have become the main theme of this year's finals.

Entering the final quarter, the game once again entered the decisive moment.

The Trail Blazers took the lead.

Lillard took the ball to the frontcourt and, as expected, played a pick-and-roll with Wang Zelin first.

There were waves of calls on the spot, and the crazy chase in the third quarter made the Cavaliers fans excited. Under the leadership of James, they once again saw the dawn of victory.

After the pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin received the ball, Blatter waved, and the Cavaliers quickly double-teamed Wang Zelin.

However, just when the double team was about to arrive, Wang Zelin passed the ball to Leillard, who was in the vacant position.

In the third quarter, Lillard's touch declined slightly, and he made 1 of 3 shots from the outside, which is why the Cavaliers dared to temporarily relax their vigilance against him.

At this time, whether the Blazers' perimeter shooter group can seize the opportunity of the vacancy is extremely critical.

Because once the Cavaliers can't make the shot, they will become more and more mad about Wang Zelin's double-teaming.

Lillard received the ball and shot quickly without hesitation!

"Shh!"

A three-pointer hit the Blazers to take the lead.

This later generation was dubbed by many fans as a man who was born for big scenes. He withstood the huge pressure of the finals stage and hit the 12th three-pointer in this game.

Tonight Lillard made 6 of 12 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 50%. As an outside shooter, his state is not bad.

Personal data also came to 23 points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, ranking second in the team in scoring after Wang Zelin.

"Fake!"

At this time, Blatter was a little confused, and he made a wrong bet this time.

Cavaliers attack.

Tonight, Irving was completely on the bar with Lillard. He was a bit on the ball and wanted to chase a three-pointer. In the frontcourt, it was tentatively scheduled to make a two-pointer before pulling out a three-pointer.

This made Cousins and TT unexpectedly have no preparation at all, and failed to make an effective card position in the first time.

The Cavaliers looked up in a hurry, but this time Irving hit the basket.

Wang Zelin grabbed the 15th rebound of the game and directly launched a one-stop fast break.

But James had a hunch, and he quickly retreated the moment Owen shot, blocking Wang Zelin's fast break near the middle circle.

Helpless, the two sides fell into a positional battle.

Wang Zelin took the ball from a high position to support him. As soon as he made a move, he actually sent two people to defend.

This time it is not three, it seems that the opponent feels the threat of Lillard.

But this is far from enough.

I saw Lillard continue Aldridge's off-ball screen and throw off Irving.

It was at this time that Wang Zelin seemed to sense something and passed the ball to the bottom corner on the right.

"Shh!"

After Lillard's off-ball movement, he hit a three-pointer with the ball!

Never underestimate Lillard's clutch ability.

To be honest, the so-called big key ball ability is actually a very vague definition. From the remaining 5 minutes of the game within 5 points to the last 10 seconds, the difference can be regarded as different degrees. key ball.

But it is undeniable that some people are naturally suitable for key shots because they have big heart attributes different from ordinary players.

And among these players, Damian Lillard's name is included!

Among the countless key ball rankings of active players in later generations, Lillard never falls out of the top five, and sometimes even ranks in the top three. This is the most powerful proof of his key ball ability from the outside world.

Relying on Lillard's two consecutive key three-pointers, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 6 points with 90:84, and suddenly opened the score.

Are the Cavaliers going to be suspended?

All eyes are on Cavaliers coach David Blatter, but at this time, Blatter's eyes are on the No. 23 of the Cavaliers on the court.

LeBron James!

Finally, James shook his head slightly at Bratt, refusing to pause.

Not to mention that the 6-point deficit is not too big, even if a timeout is called now, if the team can't find a way to limit the opponent, the timeout doesn't make much sense.

What's more, the most dangerous of the Blazers is that No. 36!

Offensive and defensive conversion, knights attack.

JR had a chance, but unfortunately the shot out of the pocket was interfered by Matthews, and Wang Zelin missed the defensive rebound.

The Blazers advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play off-ball tactics for Lillard.

This time around, the Cavaliers' defense has expanded significantly.

It's not that the Cavaliers overreacted, but that the two teams are close in strength. If the opponent's shooters heat up, it will be difficult for Luck to recover the score.

They can barely tolerate 6 points, but they can't tolerate 10 points.

Lillard shot out of the basket this time.

However, after the Cavaliers' defense expanded, Wang Zelin grabbed an offensive rebound at the basket, faced Cousins' interference and completed a layup, while also adding a penalty.

This ball is going to be played 2+1! ?

The fans at the scene lamented.

"Damn! Damn! Why is it just a little bit worse every time, why?"

Cousins' face was as black as charcoal, and when he recalled the basketball that flew past his fingertips just now, he was filled with resentment.

Hate your own strength, why can't you keep up with the number 36 in front of you?

Wang Zelin didn't know Cousins' bad mood at this time, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Stand on the free throw line, receive the referee's serve, take a deep breath, and shoot the free throw.

"Shh!"

Add a penalty hit, hit a three-point success.

At 93:84, the Blazers had a 9-point lead over the Cavaliers.

The Blazers bench was completely boiling.

At the beginning of the distal quarter, the Blazers hit the opponent with a 9:0 offensive wave. These 9 points are crucial to the game situation!

Blatt stretched out his hand and called for a timeout, his face no lighter than that of Cousins.

The Cavaliers have to adjust, or the game is going to get really cold.

On the other hand, Coach Terry's dignified expression relaxed a little.

The Cavaliers scored 36 points in the third quarter, which really surprised him. Fortunately, when they came back in the last quarter, Lillard and Wang Zelin quickly played their advantages, and the team took the lead again.

In the auditorium of Quick Loans Arena, there were 10 minutes left, but the fans on the scene felt a sense of despair.

Unconsciously, the game was once again out of the Cavaliers' control.

Are they really going to lose this game?

If you lose, you are 3:1 behind!

In history, no team has ever been able to come back from a 1:3 deficit in the finals to win the championship!

Are we in Cleveland destined to miss the championship?

After the suspension came back, the Blazers did not make any substitutions, and they still played all the main players.

The Cavaliers are starting to die. James is on the 4th position, which is convenient for defense and organization. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions are Irving, Shumpert, and JR. The 5th position is naturally Cousins.

In this lineup, there is only one purpose, and that is to score points!

The Cavaliers wanted to make a final attack and turned on the fatal shooting mode. The Blazers had already expected it when they paused, and they also started the new mode.

Lillard's two three-pointers and Wang Zelin's 2+1 before the suspension were a crit for the Cavaliers, and a huge psychological improvement for the Blazers players!

At the same time, coming back from this timeout, when Shumpert received the ball on the right side of the top of the arc, the Blazers directly attacked the two of them, not even giving Shumpert a chance to take a jumper.

Especially Wang Zelin, the speed of assisting defense is simply outrageous, not like the response of a seven-foot-long person at all.

Shumpert's shot was blocked, Matthews on one side got the ball one step ahead of everyone, and the Blazers counterattacked with a fast break.

Under the pursuit of James, Matthews scored the ball to Lillard in the bottom corner...

Wait, why is that guy again? Who is defending him?

James looked in the direction from which the ball came out, and suddenly burst into a rage.

But letting his anger and doubts fill his head, Lillard quickly shot after catching the ball.

"Shh!"

The 13th three-pointer shot in this game!

At this point, Lillard officially set a new record in the history of the Trail Blazers, that is, the first player in team history to hit 8 three-pointers in a single game in the finals!

In addition, the 8 three-pointers in the finals also set a new playoff high for Lillard's personal career.

Tonight, Lillard prepared a ray of light that belonged to him alone, even Wang Zelin could no longer cover up the dazzling ray of light!

The name Damian Lillard will be known again by countless fans, and the memory of him will be deepened again.

He's not only a champion starting guard for the Blazers, but also one of the top guards in the new generation.

Meet again, my name is Damien Lillard!

Relying on this three-pointer, the Blazers played a wave of 12:0 in more than two minutes, completely beating the Cavaliers.

The game continues, the Cavaliers have the ball.

James held the ball like a dynamite bag and rushed to the inside line desperately. Although he missed a layup, he won Wang Zelin's fourth foul of the game.

However, James, whose mentality has fluctuated, missed his first free throw.

On the second free throw, tens of thousands of Cavaliers fans held their breaths. The entire Quicken Loans Arena was terribly silent. They didn't want to have any impact on James' extra penalty.

As an opponent, how could the Blazers let them do so?

"LeBron, where are you ready to go fishing this summer?"

Suddenly, Wang Zelin raised his head, smiled at James, and greeted him politely.

Although Wang Zelin's voice was not heard by everyone at the scene, it still reached the ears of the players of the two surrounding teams. It was not loud, but full of sarcasm.

The reaction of the players on the Cavaliers side is no longer as simple as ordinary anger, but indignation!

Because this sentence seems to be greeting LeBron, but in fact it directly ignores all of them.

At this moment, after hearing Wang Zelin's words, James was also stunned, but this stun was fatal.

Because James' preparation time had passed for 6 seconds, and being disturbed by Wang Zelin, James's free throw preparation time quickly exceeded 10 seconds.

beep~

The referee's whistle suddenly sounded, bringing everyone back to their senses, and then the referee stretched his finger to James and made a free throw violation gesture!

The ball went back to the Blazers again.

"Wang Defa?"

The Cavaliers home commentator raised the decibel!

What exactly happened on the field? Why did James suddenly foul? And how the ball went back to the Blazers.

"Shadow! Shady! Shady!"

Not to mention the commentator's reaction, the fans at the scene were shocked when they saw this scene, and then the crowd was furious, booing and even insulting Wang Zelin!

On the Blazers' bench, Coach Terry and the surrounding disciples looked at each other in dismay.

In the end, the three referees came to the technical stage, and after the big screen on the scene kept slowing down what had just happened, the fans' voices suddenly became embarrassed.

What the hell?

James actually free throw timeout!

But then again, has anyone ever overtimed a free throw in the NBA Finals?

Not to mention whether it has happened, anyway, when this question came out, people really did not recall the same case in their impressions.

In other words, James will set an embarrassing record - the first player in NBA history to time out a free throw in the finals?

Or ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is the first superstar to be awarded a free throw timeout in the finals!

That's so **** up!

Then, the game continued.

But for some unknown reason, there was no longer a tense atmosphere at the scene, instead it was filled with an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

Then the game began to develop in a strange direction.

After the first ball came back from the timeout, Wang Zelin hit the iron from the middle distance. After a while, the Cavaliers, JR's outside shot also responded to the iron.

The rebound was grabbed by Aldridge, 3-2 in the frontcourt, Batum shot from the open position with confidence, and the "bang" sounded.

After a few rounds, the game seemed to fall into a blacksmithing cycle, and the good finals G4 suddenly turned into a blacksmithing competition.

Emmm, it all seems to have originated from the awkward moment of James' free throw timeout.

Yes, it's all James' fault!

About three minutes later, Irving hit a three-pointer from the outside, which broke the vicious circle between the two sides and added firepower to the team.

However, what was unexpected was that after Owen scored, the Blazers also regained their touch there, making frequent outside hits.

The two sides stalemate until the last moment, the difference has been maintained at more than double digits.

With 5.8 seconds left, Wang Zelin made a foul under the basket. Blatter shook his head and sighed, then replaced James, Irving, Cousins and other main lineups, announcing the official surrender of the Cavaliers.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 106:95. The Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers by 11 points in the away game, and the score in the finals also came to 3:1!
