Chapter 585: Perfect shot, 30 points at halftime(1/2)
28:27.
There are still 17 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.
The Trail Blazers had the ball. At this time, they were still one point behind the Spurs. Coach Terry called a timeout and arranged the final attack.
"Guys, we need a stronger response. The last attack must be scored. Wang, you will carry out the last attack. Is there any problem?"
On the bench on the sidelines, Coach Terry was very excitedly cheering on his players, and his eyes finally fell on Wang Zelin.
As his words fell, the eyes of everyone on the Trail Blazers team also shifted, looking at Wang Zelin expectantly.
"Give me the ball!"
Raising his head, Wang Zelin's eyes were filled with strong fighting spirit and he replied decisively.
"Today's competition is really fierce!"
"As expected, the final attack will be handled by the king. Let's wait and see!"
In the commentary box on the sidelines, the expressions of the two commentators became more and more excited...
This back-and-forth, non-compromising competition reminded them of basketball in the 1990s.
The players at that time had only one goal in mind, and that was to win with all their strength!
And never give in, never give up!
This, this is the performance that basketball should have most!
Beep~~
The timeout ends and the game returns.
Lillard received the ball from the sideline, and after some simple transmission, the ball was finally handed over to Wang Zelin.
At the same time, after receiving Batum's pass, Wang Zelin immediately signaled everyone to pull away, and he wanted to run out of time.
As a leader, he knows what he must do.
Picking up the ball from mid-range, he briefly glanced at the game time.
Watching the game time slowly passing by, until there were only 8 seconds left, he slightly controlled the attack time, preparing to use this goal to overtake the score and at the same time defeat Duncan's defense again.
So far in the first quarter, Wang Zelin has made 7 of 7 shots, without missing a single goal. He has scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 assists. It can be said that no matter who the opponent is tonight, he has beaten them all.
Even if the man in front of me is Tim Duncan, it is no exception.
7 seconds
6 seconds
5 seconds
Wang Zelin dropped the ball with force, and was turned around so quickly that the photographer might have an afterimage, and stepped back, allowing him to quickly open the distance between him and Duncan.
Not a sky hook?
This move exceeded everyone's expectations. Wang Zelin, who had hit 5 of 5 hook shots before, would he choose to use a turn-over jumper to finish the game in the last attack?
Duncan only hesitated for a moment, stepped forward heavily, and chose to follow up on defense.
He didn't dare to bet on whether Wang Zelin's goal was a fake move?
At the last critical moment, he trusted his instinctive judgment.
However, the next moment, he saw that the figure of No. 36 opposite had a new change?
"Fake surrender, real surprise?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Duncan's mind, but at this time, his body could no longer keep up with his brain's reaction. When Wang Zelin faked a shot, he chose to fly.
"Whoosh!"
After deceiving Duncan and escaping the block, Wang Zelin kept his pivot foot unchanged, turned around and then turned sideways to complete a hook.
At 29:28, the Trail Blazers achieved a lead.
At this time, the scoreboard showed that there were 0.7 seconds left!
0.7 seconds, unless a miracle occurs, it is basically declared that the Spurs have no hope of chasing points.
Duncan served from the backcourt. Parker received the ball and turned around. With a sound, the referee announced that the first quarter was over.
"Oh my God, what an incredible scoring feast! 20 points in a single quarter! 20 points!!!"
Kenny Smith took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
But next to him, Barkley said with great excitement: "It's unbelievable. Wang actually made all 8 shots in the first quarter! Is God playing in Wang's jersey?"
"oh!"
"God, is that number 36 the devil?"
"Who can save us?"
"Damn it, why can't even Tim guard him!"
The audience at the scene was all suffocated by Wang Zelin's performance in the first quarter. They were even more sad than the players on the field.
This deep sense of despair caused the entire AT&T Center to wail.
When Wang Zelin returned to the bench, the deafening MVP voice sounded.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
At this moment, thousands of Trail Blazers fans at the scene were honored. Everyone stood up and cheered, applauding Wang Zelin's superb performance!
At this moment, Wang Zelin is the God of War in their hearts!
No, even when you meet gods, you kill gods! When you meet Buddhas, you kill Buddhas!
Listening to the cheers coming and going, as well as many fans standing up and raising their hands in the air, Duncan saw them all.
At this time, he shook his head unconsciously.
Are you really old?
He stared blankly at the big screen showing Wang Zelin's astonishing statistics of 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists in the first quarter. He looked very frustrated!
"Tim..."
Seeing this scene, Sima Vicki raised his hand and put it on Duncan's shoulder, wanting to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the statistics in his hand, he felt panicked at the moment.
During the inter-quarter break between the two sides, the news that Wang Zelin scored 20 points on 8-for-8 shooting in the first quarter has quickly become the number one hot search topic in North America!
It's almost going to explode outside.
But inside the AT&T Center Arena, Simavici was seizing the time to do ideological work for the players.
Even though Wang Zelin played so hard in the first quarter, he couldn't possibly play so hard the whole game, right? If that's the case, why not admit defeat tonight?
Fortunately, the San Antonio Spurs are a truly strong team!
This is true whether it's the fighting power on the field or the mental will. If you want the Spurs team in front of you, it's not that simple.
When it comes to resilience, the Spurs will never lose to any team.
Therefore, during the break between sections, Coach Terry was also actively doing ideological work for the players, reminding them repeatedly to avoid arrogance and impetuosity.

What's more, they are only one point ahead of their opponents at this time, and maybe they can catch up as soon as they come back in the second quarter.
Sure enough, in the second quarter, the Spurs relied on their mature and deep bench again and quickly took the lead.
However, the Trail Blazers' bench is not a vegetarian. The combination of Beverly Carter, Morrow, Yi Jianlian and Garnett cannot be underestimated.
It is obviously unrealistic to widen the point difference just by relying on one Ginobili.
The two sides were in a stalemate for most of the quarter until there were more than three minutes left in the first half. Carter was running without the ball in the frontcourt. When an opportunity arose, he caught the ball and hit a key three-pointer.
46:41, helping the team gain a 5-point lead.
After breaking through the 5-point threshold, the Spurs were the first to be unable to sit still, and Duncan and Parker were replaced as two main players.
As soon as the two came back, the effect was immediate.
Spurs attack.
Duncan was assisting at the free throw line. Parker was running on the right wing and suddenly ran out from the wing.
Beverley followed closely, but Parker still ran out a little space to catch the ball.
"Whoosh!"
Duncan hit the ball at the right time, and Parker took the ball and successfully scored.
"this……"
