"It's better to prepare for tomorrow's game with peace of mind. When the time comes to test how deep the water of the Clippers' Big Three is?"

Wang Zelin tried his best not to pay attention to the comments on the Internet, but he had to find something to divert his attention.

Tomorrow night is the game against the Clippers. He can't wait to have a touch with this new Clippers. He also wants to know whether Griffin can bring him a new team after getting the two helpers of Rondo and Butler. surprise.

The key point is that the Clippers are now hitting the critical moment of the playoffs, the sense of urgency to win every game, the Clippers are better than their Trail Blazers!

No need to think about it, the Clippers will definitely give it a go tomorrow night.

After a day of preparations, at 6:40 pm on March 6, Wang Zelin and his teammates entered the Staples Center. This was the penultimate away game for the Trail Blazers this season.

After playing the Clippers, they will go to San Antonio in two days for the last away game of the season.

The Spurs are much more difficult to deal with than the Clippers, and the next game is an away game. They naturally hope to go to San Antonio with the winning streak.

At the end of the tense season, the Clippers just played an away game in Dallas yesterday and just returned to Los Angeles today.

In the away game last night, relying on the efficient output of Butler and Griffin each scoring 30 points, the Clippers successfully defeated the Dallas Mavericks. The current record has improved to 48 wins and 31 losses, and they continue to maintain their hopes of competing for the top eight in the Western Conference.

After the All-Star Weekend, the performance of the Clippers has improved significantly compared to the middle and early stages of the season. Wang Zelin feels that this is the gap between the leaders.

Needless to say, Griffin's ability is stronger than Rondo and Butler in overall strength. But he has never been able to prove his ability to lead the team. In contrast, Rondo and Butler are the first-class tough guys in the league. Not only are they full of mental attributes, but they are also full of strong iron-blooded temperament , Can help the Clippers quickly grow into a truly strong team.

Even if this season ends up missing the playoffs, the Clippers will surely make a comeback next season.

After all, Wang Zelin knows better than anyone how tough Jimmy Butler is.

But...you have to thump or thump!

The Clippers are at a critical moment for the playoffs. Isn't it a critical moment for the Trail Blazers?

They are also hitting 70 wins in the regular season. This kind of time must not be yours.

Announced before the game.

Visiting Blazers: Lillard, Button, Batum, Jokic, Wang Zelin.

Home Clippers: Rajon Rondo, JJ Redick, Jimmy Butler, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.

As the saying goes, you don't know who's been swimming naked until the tide goes out.

DeAndre Jordan, known as Jordan Jr. in the rivers and lakes, was like a fish in water after meeting Chris Paul, the master of pass control, in his previous life. He quickly reached the first highlight moment in his career and was selected as the best team of the season in the 15-16 season. Defense, playing the momentum of the number one active center in the league.

Even in this time and space, the appearance of Wang Zelin completely overwhelmed the limelight of Jordan and Cousins ​​himself, but Jordan was still recognized as one of the best active centers by virtue of his good statistics and the better record of the Clippers. one.

At least one of the top five active centers.

But when Paul joined the Lakers, the Clippers lacked a vital court engine, and the rough-skilled Jordan immediately became unaware of how to play. The effect of partnering with Griffin in the past two seasons is really mediocre.

So much so that the Clippers management also reported that they wanted to trade Jordan.

But fortunately, with the arrival of another active pass control master Rajon Rondo, Jordan immediately recovered his peak state. After the All-Star Weekend, his scoring average once exceeded 13 points, setting a new record. career high.

There are Rondo and Butler on the outside, Griffin and Jordan who dreamed of returning to the top on the inside, no wonder this Clippers team is faintly called a spaceship by many people!

In terms of strength on paper, the Clippers' starting lineup has 4 players who are theoretically at the All-Star level, plus marksman JJ Redick, this starting lineup looks really bluffing.

Both teams are going all out tonight to try to win this game.

Jump ball, Blazers attack.

After nearly a season of training, the basic tactics of the Blazers on the offensive end have been determined. Lillard and Jokic are responsible for the important tasks of team organization, Barton and Batum are pitchers, and Wang Zelin is in charge. The basket acts as a patron saint.

After the jump ball, Wang Zelin ran to the basket, and Jordan and Griffin immediately double-teamed without any hesitation.

As for the other three in the Clippers, Rondo delayed Lillard from outside the three-point line, Butler on the flanks blocked Batum, and Redick kept up with Button.

Jokic looked on the sidelines in doubt, and found that he was emptied... Am I being underestimated?

Teacher Yue felt a little resentful.

"I didn't expect the Clippers to adopt such a resolute pinching strategy as soon as they came up. It seems that Clippers coach Rivers is very afraid of Wang Zelin!"

Barkley yelled immediately.

Lillard immediately took the ball to Jokic near the paint area. Surprisingly, the latter missed an open jumper.

Jordan tried his best to contain Wang Zelin, and Griffin took the opportunity to get the rebound.

"Jokic hesitated before taking the shot just now. Maybe this caused his shooting rhythm to be disrupted. It is not surprising that he missed the shot." Miller complained.

The Clippers attacked and Rondo advanced.

Wang Zelin yelled to Lillard while taking his position: "Damien, shrink the line of defense, and don't let go!"

Don't look at Rondo's three-pointers in the past few seasons, but his three-pointer ability, to be honest, is so-so. The hit rate is plummeting.

It is said that Lillard is not letting go, but in fact he just gave Rondo a false vacancy. Even Wang Zelin's speed, as long as he wants to, he can spread out in time to interfere before Rondo makes a shot.

Looking at the 9 players who were constantly entangled in the three-point line, Rondo was very embarrassed, because he was completely emptied and was in a state of free movement at this time.

"The Blazers targeted Rondo's technical shortcomings and simply let Rondo go. If Rondo is capable, you can complain to me. Anyway, it's not so easy for others to score."

Barkley laughed.

With such an opportunity, it's really hard not to vote.

So Rondo didn't hesitate, and raised his hand to make a rather stiff pull-up jumper, a rare fight with Williams.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the inside and outside. Just as Rondo took off and was about to make a move, he was completely enveloped by him.

"Snapped!"

The next moment, the basketball in Rondo's hand was slapped upside down. Lillard and Button were the first to react and rushed out. In the end, Lillard assisted Button to complete the dunk dunk.

2:0, the Blazers opened the scoring first.

The Clippers organized an offense again.

Rondo advanced to the frontcourt and began to organize his teammates to run.

Redick circled from the bottom corner to the left and kept rushing towards Rondo. Barton and Batum switched defenses instantly. The former was mainly on the front and left wing, while the latter immediately rushed towards Redick.

On the right-wing three-point line, Griffin suddenly pulled out, shook off Jokic and asked Rondo for the ball.

In the paint area, Wang Zelin suddenly rushed to Griffin. He started at this time because Jordan was stuck behind him. Rondo wanted to pass his line of defense and pass the ball to the basket. The probability is almost zero.

After locking the passing lanes from the front, the left wing and the basket, Rondo can only choose to distribute the ball to the right wing.

At this time, all Rondo's attention was on Lillard and the pass from the left wing. He didn't pay attention to Wang Zelin's actions at all. He passed the ball to Griffin before Redick took the opportunity.

As soon as Griffin received the ball, he was blocked by Jokic, and then he noticed that Wang Zelin was not far away from him.

At this time, he was too far from the basket, and he wanted to pass back to the middle, but Lillard had already cut off the passing route between him and Rondo, and the passing route could not be passed for a while.

So he could only take a risk and pass the ball to the basket, passing Wang Zelin's head into the inside.

At this moment, Wang Zelin, who was only two or three steps away from Griffin, reacted quickly. He just stepped forward half of his foot, then jumped up, stretched his long arms into the air, and grabbed the ball with one hand.

Landing Wang Zelin rushed past Griffin, killed the ball across the center line, and rushed to the frontcourt.

"This ball can't be defended!"

"It's coming, it's coming... Welcome to Wang Zelin's performance moment!"

Barkley and Miller shouted excitedly with ruddy complexions.

After Wang Zelin rushed two steps, seeing no one in front of him, he threw the ball directly three steps away. After he rushed four steps, when he reached the top of the front arc and was close to the right, he took another big step. Stepped on the free throw line, rose from the sky, raised one arm, smashed down, and smashed the ball into the basket amidst the exclamation of the audience.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Clippers' basket was blasted by Wang Zelin.

4:0, the Blazers extended their lead.

"Beautiful, one-stop dunks! Only one dribble on the way, such a fast break is too intense!" Barkley roared excitedly.

"We noticed that Wang Zelin stepped on the free throw line with his back heel when he took off, which means that Wang Zelin once again achieved the feat of dunking from the free throw line in actual combat. He really deserves to be the strongest dunk king in history! Call it actual free throws The king of lines is no exaggeration.”

Miller also looked full of praise.

Clippers attack.

"Always pay attention to receiving the ball from the outside! You must control the rebound under the basket, and you must not relax for a moment."

Rivers, the chicken soup master, roared loudly beside him.

In the first two offenses, he was a little disappointed with Jordan and Griffin. He actually let Wang Zelin get out of the paint so easily. Such performance obviously did not conform to the defensive strategy set before the game.

Next, Jordan and Griffin strengthened the control of Wang Zelin in the paint area, making it impossible for Wang Zelin to successfully defend to the outside.

But the Trail Blazers also did a good job of continuously double-teaming the Clippers' ball-handler on the perimeter.

Overall, the Trail Blazers still have a certain advantage in rebounding.

Wang Zelin's performance in the penalty area was as strong as ever. He successfully controlled the offensive rebound. The Blazers' second offense was far more than the fast forward. point.

Playing like this, the Clippers, whose offensive efficiency is lower, are destined to be unable to escape the fate of losing.

At this time, Rivers called a timeout. He needed some inside offense. When he thought that the two giants were in the penalty area and the two-on-one could not restrain Wang Zelin, his liver hurt for a while.

I really don't understand how there are such monsters in the alliance?

Jordan and Griffin together can't beat Wang Zelin alone?

So, Rivers quickly gave the Clippers a wave of spiritual taste.

As for tactical arrangements?

What are you kidding?

With Rondoron's guidance, what tactics do you need to worry about?

What's more, Rivers and Rondo can be regarded as a pair of mentors and apprentices when they were in the Celtics, and both of them are used to this arrangement.

It's just that it seems a bit weird to others. The head coach is boosting morale, but it is a player who arranges tactics. No matter how you look at it, you find it strange.

Back from the timeout, the Clippers attack.

Rondo took the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, Griffin, who was moving under the basket, suddenly withdrew, while Jordan remained under the basket.

First, the shooting range is limited, and later, Jordan can only slightly draw part of Wang Zelin's defensive attention when he is in the penalty area.

This time Griffin didn't run too far, but received the ball on the left side of the free throw line, turned around and made a mid-range shot.

"Shua—!"

At 14:22, the Clippers recovered the point difference to single digits.

At this time, the Clippers fans hadn't had time to be happy for too long. The next moment Jokic actually passed Lillard, and threw the ball directly with one hand. .

"It's over!"

Seeing this scene, Rivers shook his head in disappointment.

Taking a closer look, Wang Zelin did not know when he had rushed to the front. Jokic's long pass was about to be in place. Wang Zelin stopped at his feet, grabbed the ball back, and then rushed across the center line.

"boom!"

Another unpretentious one-stop dunk, Wang Zelin smashed the Clippers' basket again~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the commentary, Miller said: "Today's Blazers' defensive strength has improved significantly, I even feel We are watching a playoff-level game. The most critical point is Wang Zelin, who is very active in defense tonight, and the Clippers must learn to accept the intensity of the playoffs."

Barkley said: "This is the preview of the playoffs. If the Clippers can't beat the Trail Blazers today, they are likely to lose to the Jazz in the regular season rankings and eventually miss this year's playoffs.

But if they beat the Trail Blazers, and they may take the 8th place last train to catch the Western Conference playoff flight, and their opponent in the first round will be the Trail Blazers in front of them.

No matter from which point of view, this game is really critical for the Clippers. It can almost be declared that their efforts throughout the regular season have been in vain? "

After the first quarter, at 34:21, the Blazers led away by 12 points, and there is still a big gap in strength between the two sides.
