Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned
95. First Start, Wang Zhi Scored 24 Points In The Half!
While the Mavericks are struggling in Sacramento, another Western Conference semifinal is in full swing!
The league's No. 1 Spurs and the three-peat Lakers meet!
The two teams played inseparable!
After the Spurs won two home games, the Lakers returned to Staples and also won two consecutive victories. Now the two teams are tied at 2:2, and the situation is very tense.
The three-peat Lakers seem to be invincible, but in front of the mature Spurs, they don't seem to have any advantage!
Shaquille O'Neal, the league's No. 1 center, can blow up the line when facing almost any team.
Except for the Spurs!
Just because the Spurs own the league, and even Tim Duncan, the number one power forward in history!
The only opponents the Lakers have faced in the West in recent years are the Kings and the Spurs. Every time they have passed a thrilling pass, this year, if they want to win four consecutive championships, they must also pass ~2 passes with difficulty.
For the Kings, the situation in the semifinals is now clear, and the Spurs and the Lakers are in a tough fight. As long as they can win the Mavericks in G4 and score 3:1, they can basically easily reach the Western Conference finals.
At that time, no matter whether it is the Lakers or the Spurs who advance, they will probably be entangled by each other until they lose their skin.
This is exactly "the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit", and the Kings can take advantage of the trend to win the Western Conference finals, enter the finals and win the championship!
According to the thinking of the coaching staff, it is probably no problem to advance to the Western Conference Finals, but it depends on how many games they can win.
The sooner they qualify, the more time they have to rest.
Therefore, for the G4 game against the Mavericks at home, the Kings not only attached great importance to it, prepared meticulously, but also mobilized a wave of fans and gave them benefits
The purpose is to let the Kings go all out and win this crucial match!
On the night of G4, the Kings are at home, and the atmosphere has been heightened to the extreme!
When the Mavericks players walked into the arena during the warm-up session before the game, they seemed to feel the huge sound waves coming to their faces!
This kind of sound seems to be able to affect their nerves, making the whole person's mentality uneasy!
Fortunately, these main players of the Mavericks are also players who have often seen the world in the playoffs in the past few years. They can adjust themselves, but those substitute players have become nervous one by one. , There is also the situation of striking iron, so I am even more anxious.
For Wang Zhi, the situation is completely different.
This environment seems to excite him!
The higher the sound waves, the stronger his desire to perform.
At this moment, Wang Zhi continued to shoot his iconic step-back three-pointers in the warm-up. Because of the excitement, Wang Zhi even increased the difficulty and made super-long shots in the area three to four meters away from the three-point line. Three points!
swish!
swish!
swish!
All three attempts of ultra-long three-pointers were hit.
You must know that in this era, long-range and even ultra-long-range three-pointers are not as rampant as they are 20 years later.
Being able to hit such ultra-long three-pointers consecutively is more due to luck.
Before the game even started, some Kings fans noticed that Wang Zhi was showing off his touch. They must be trying their best to suppress their opponents!
"What kind of show is that guy showing off? Now that he's done showing off his touch, he will definitely not be able to make any shots during the game!"
"Do you remember how badly the Mavericks shot in the last game? This game, it's the same result!"
"Stop showing off, you guys will definitely get blown up today!"
There were even boos at the scene, but this seemed to be the best catalyst for Wang Zhi!
At the end of the warm-up, the players had to return to the locker room to make final preparations. Wang Zhi took the ball, walked to the door of the player tunnel, and threw it towards the basket with one hand.
swish!
Another hollow entry!
The fans at the scene were stunned, and Wang Zhi returned to the locker room after giving them a thumbs up with a smile.
In an instant, the boos at the scene became more violent!
Although the Mavericks have experienced two consecutive losses, Wang Zhi's performance is actually not bad.
With the accumulation of games, he has become more and more adapted to the NBA playoffs.
Obviously, game experience is very important for players!
Playing against the Trail Blazers in the first round, Wang Zhi's performance is sometimes sluggish because he lacks experience and doesn't know how to deal with certain situations.
However, he is smart enough to review and summarize after the game, so that he can handle this situation better next time.
Tonight, Wang Zhi knew things were going to be very different, but he was ready to start!
Yes, that's right, in tonight's G4, old Nelson made a change!
Put Wang Zhi in the starting lineup!
This is Wang Zhi's first start in his NBA career, and also his first start in the playoffs!
15 minutes before the game, when the starting lineup of the Mavericks was announced, various live commentators and live ESPN commentators commented on it.
"It's a bold decision to start a player who has never started before in such an important game. It seems that Nelson has high expectations for Wang Zhi
"After losing two consecutive games, the Mavericks have no choice but to seek a change. Will their major change tonight have a miraculous effect or a negative effect? Let us wait and see."
"Wow, Wang Zhi, who just won the best sixth man, has been promoted to the starting lineup. He has become the fireman of the Mavericks. Let's see if he can extinguish the anger of the Kings players tonight!"
Soon, the players from both sides finished playing, and the match was imminent.
[Kings starting]
Point Guard: Mike Bibby
Shooting Guard: Peja Stojakovic
Small Forward: Doug Christie
Power Forward: Chris Webber
Center forward: Verratti Divac
[Mavericks starting]
Point Guard: Steve Nash
Shooting guard: Michael Finley
Small Forward: Wang Zhi
power forward , dirk nowitzki
Center: River LaFrentz
The Mavericks' only change was Adrian Griffin for Wang Zhi, while the Kings had no changes at all.
With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!
Divac earned the first possession for the Kings.
In the Kings round, Bibby dribbled the ball up the frontcourt and was in the familiar Princeton position again, but this time Bibby directly crushed Nash with his body, forced a layup and scored 2 points!
The opening round of play was simple and efficient, but this Kings team, which was originally good at subtle coordination, took advantage of the physical confrontation of point guards to score points.
This shows how tough the Kings are tonight!
0:2
The defense of the Dallas Mavericks cannot be scrutinized. Once you take a closer look, it is riddled with holes. Although Steve Nash is an All-Star point guard, on the defensive end, his thin body can hardly block any impact. , he was often targeted.
But this is also impossible.
The Mavericks attacked, and after Nash dribbled the ball through the frontcourt, he still started the pick-and-roll with Nowitzki as always.
Bang!
It's hard.
The situation is not good for the Mavericks. The main scorer Dirk Nowitzki still didn't make a shot even though he scored well.
When the Kings attacked, Bibby tried to force Nash again, but in the middle of the breakthrough this time, Divac came to pick and roll him. After that, the two formed a tacit connection, and Bibby assisted Divac to score!
0:4
At the beginning, the Kings played very smoothly!
Moreover, their style of play surprised the coaching staff of the Mavericks!
The Kings had won two of the previous three games, relying on the traditional play style of the Princeton system [high post Chris Webber with the ball behind him to launch the offense.
But today, they changed the way they launched their offense. Although the formation was still the same, Weber no longer held the ball.
Instead, let point guard Mike Bibby hold the ball!
Obviously, due to the high usage rate of the Princeton system, everyone has probably overlooked that Mike Bibby is also a point guard with strong passing ability.
Well, with such a point guard, the Kings naturally have the traditional offensive mode of attacking from him.
The success of the two consecutive attacks made the enthusiastic cheers of the fans on the scene once again enthusiastic!
The Mavericks attacked, and after Steve Nash dribbled the ball through the frontcourt, he decisively found Wang Zhi and gave him the ball.
Since Old Nelson let Wang Zhi start, he must be used. It is impossible to use him as a third position to open up space. In that case, it would be meaningless for Wang Zhi to start.
After Wang Zhi got the ball, he opened the distance with Peja with a light change of direction breakthrough, and then after a speed change in the middle of the road, he scored 2 points with a throw.
2:4
Wang Zhi's special, once again helped the Mavericks.
You must know that in this era, breakthrough throwing shots have always been the exclusive technique of those small guards. They use quick breakthroughs to throw the ball before the opponent's big insiders can make up the defense.
However, Wang Zhi's technique is completely different. First of all, he is not fast, but he can always pass the defenders by using rhythm changes. Secondly, he is not short, with a height of more than 2 meters. With a tall stature, he can even be compared with some fours. His throwing point is very high, so even if the speed is not fast, it is still difficult to interfere with him.
The Kings attacked. This time, their offensive tactics changed again. After Bibby gave the ball to Webber who was supporting him in a high position, he began to intersperse. After receiving a pass from a teammate beyond the three-point line, he made a decisive three-point shot and made a hit!
2:7
The whole scene exploded in an instant!
Mike Bibby scored 7 points at the start. This kind of result is something the Mavericks are very unwilling to see!
Throughout the first three games, the Kings scored mainly on the two players Webber and Peja.
But under the real Princeton system, all players can become scoring points.
Then once the third point is opened, or even the fourth point, the Mavericks' defense will be even more difficult to maintain!
Fortunately, on the offensive end, Wang Zhi is very excited tonight.
Feeling hot at the start, he scored again.
Afterwards, although the Kings used Christie to defend Wang Zhi, but this time Wang Zhi did not choose to give the ball to his teammates "reasonably". Instead, he singled Christie with his fake moves and skills. 2 points scored, and even his iconic step-back three-pointer!
With Wang Zhi's efficient personal offensive performance, the Mavericks can maintain the score gap even if they can't defend their opponents.
However, at the end of the first quarter, when Wang Zhi and his main teammates took a rest and the two sides changed into a rotation lineup, the problem came again.
Wang Zhi started, and the effect is indeed good, so, what about the rotation lineup?
But tonight, I met Van Exel in a bad state.
At the best time, the scores that were originally not much different were stretched to double digits after a few minutes.
After the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 13 points in the away game at 23:36.
Wang Zhi made 5 of 7 shots and scored 11 points, which is already very impressive, but the performance of his teammates is not ideal.
The situation is very unfavorable for the Mavericks.
In the away game, they dug a big hole in the first quarter. If they want to win, they have to get back to their form.
Or, someone has to step up!
The person who stood up is obviously Wang Zhi!
**mmm
Because Wang Zhi got enough rest time in the first quarter, and the Mavericks' substitute players were really not in good condition [so in the second quarter, Elson took Wang Zhi back to the field.
And Wang Zhi did not live up to the old Nelson's trust. As soon as he came on the court, he fired with full firepower and scored two consecutive three-pointers.
The arrogance of the fans has been extinguished a lot.
Although he felt ups and downs afterwards, Wang Zhi missed two consecutive three-pointers.
But he immediately adjusted and changed to holding the ball to break through to score, and the effect was still good.
Immediately afterwards, the main players of both sides came back, and Wang Zhi's fiery state had a huge effect on the defense of the Kings. At this time, the other players of the Mavericks had an opportunity.
up.
The good news is that Nash and Finley have a good hand, and when they get the opportunity, they can firmly grasp it!
In this way, the Mavericks played an excellent counterattack wave.
In the second quarter, Wang Zhi scored another 13 points in a single quarter in response to his opponent's 39:28. In this way, he still scored 24 points efficiently in the half!
At the end of the first half, the Mavericks also trailed by 2 points with 62:64!
Apparently, Wang Zhi became the Mavericks' surprise player in this game!
The results of this half also proved that it was an extremely correct choice for Old Nelson to let him start.
At this time in Dallas, when the fans watched the half-time game through the live broadcast, their hanging hearts finally stabilized, and the impression of Wang Zhi in their hearts also revealed.
Great changes have taken place.
"This guy Wang Zhi is really reliable. Old Nelson chose to trust him at this time, obviously he made the right bet."
"Wang, come on, lead the team to win the game, and if we return to Dallas, it will be our world!"
"I have a feeling that Wang Zhi will explode tonight and lead us to win the game!"
At the same time, in Dragon Country, countless Dragon Country fans were not only dumbfounded after watching this halftime, but even many fans were in awe.
The term "traitor" is, at this moment, rarely mentioned.
"I'm going, Wang Zhi's performance is comparable to an NBA superstar!"
"It's great, it's great, the Mavericks are in a desperate situation, Wang Zhi can still make those wonderful dribbles and scoring operations at will on the court, he is not nervous at all
"The most important thing is, Wang Zhi has already scored 24 points in the halftime today. How many points will he score in the whole game? At least, the personal high of 36 points in the playoffs just created before will break the
It's broken. "
"Oh, after thinking about it, it's a pity that such a player is not in our Longguo men's basketball team!"
"I think, in the past, maybe we have done too much... such a star is a treasure, we should guard against the prejudices of the past, reconcile with Wang Zhi, and the Olympic Games will come soon
If the Basketball Association doesn’t call him back and Wang Zhi joins other national teams, then we will regret it to death!”
"Yeah, yeah, that's very reasonable. The Basketball Association's expulsion of Wang Zhi last year was the biggest failure. No, we can't let this happen. We have to give the Basketball Association
Pressure, let them bring Wang Zhi back!"
"That's right, that's right, I heard that there is a fan in China who supports Wang Zhi the most, it's called 'people with lofty ideals', we should join that organization [ten support Wang Zhi workers!".
