Chapter 546 Home Victory
More than 9 minutes into the first quarter, the score was 28:24, and the Blazers led the Cavaliers by 4 points.
出战9分钟里，王泽林4投3中，罚球3中3，拿下9分4篮板1助攻1盖帽的数据。
The data is very comprehensive, and he performed well on the court offensively and defensively. He grabbed 4 rebounds on the defensive end, causing one foul from Cousins and two fouls from Varejao, which caused a lot of damage to the Cavaliers inside.
Then the two sides began to enter the rotation one after another.
The Cavaliers kept Irving and Dion West on the court, and replaced TT, Sean Marion and Mike Miller one after another.
On the Blazers side, there is a large-scale rotation. Beverly, Carter, Connet Lee, Yi Jianlian, and Jokic were replaced one after another.
Irving's difficult mid-range shot contributed a strike, and Adams used his body to protect the defensive rebound.
Beverly continued to the frontcourt and called a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian's cut attracted the defense, Connit Lee came out from the outside with Jokic's cover, and Beverly passed the ball with a flick.
Connet Lee caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
"Shh!"
A sword pierces the throat, three points into the net!
The Blazers opened the point difference to 7 points!
The man who followed Wang Zelin in the last century, Connet Lee, who helped the Blazers win the championship, has proved himself, he is a perfect championship puzzle.
After winning the championship, after experiencing the baptism of the championship and the desperate struggle with various powerful enemies on the way to the championship, many players in the Trail Blazers have been sublimated, and Connett Lee is also one of them.
His stability of catching three-pointers has improved a lot compared to when he first joined the Trail Blazers.
Knights attack.
Irving, who tried singles to no avail, used the TT pick-and-roll to reach the basket and pick the basket to score. Jokic was indeed a bit slow, and the defensive pace failed to keep up at the first time.
Looking back, Jokic received the ball at a high position. This time he gave the ball to Carter who cut in. After Carter met the help defense, he passed the ball to Yi Jianlian.
After Yi Jian connected the ball, he scored a quick layup.
After watching these two rounds, Cavaliers coach David Blatt and core leader James felt their heads grew bigger.
I really don't know why the Cavaliers' management can always have shit luck? After Lillard and Wang Zelin were selected in the 12 draft, together with Aldridge, the Blazers directly had the core framework to win the championship.
In this year's draft, they used another second-round pick to select this big white fat man from Serbia?
God, why do you favor the Blazers so much?
"LeBron, our bench thickness is much worse than that of the opponent, and then you have to prepare for their entire court."
Rookie coach David Blatt looked at James with a sad face.
At this moment, all he can count on is James.
"Ah."
James nodded silently, and turned his attention back to the field. He looked at Jokic who was running back and forth on the field at this time, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
But then, when he thought of the European rookie wearing No. 14, who was taking the place of Wang Zelin on the court at this time, he felt sore again.
It seems that the Trail Blazers picked up another treasure in this year's draft.
The starter was not as good as the opponent, and the substitute was completely suppressed.
At the end of halftime, the Cavaliers were already 45:56 behind, and the Trail Blazers had as many as 11 points!
"I think after this game, no one should think that the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers are teams of the same level!"
After watching halftime, Zhang Lili shook his head.
"Obviously, the Cavaliers' Big Three combination of James, Irving and Cousins still needs to be improved. In the first half, they didn't cooperate much. Instead, they relied more on the ability of their stars to play.
In contrast, the tacit understanding between the Blazers' players is so high that they have no friends. "
Yu Jia also gave his own opinion.
This is not a question of whether to discuss the game or not, but the cooperation of the Trail Blazers from the starter to the bench is too reasonable.Even the problem of the backup organization point has been solved because of the arrival of Jokic. In this way, Beverly, who plays point guard on the bright side, can concentrate on defense better.
Although they only played halftime, the Cavaliers at this stage can never be called a team with the potential to win the championship...
Even if they have James!
Because the problems revealed by the Cavaliers in the first half are too big, and the thickness of the bench is average. When Irving, James, and Cousins rest together, they can't even find someone in their rotation to stand up and score stably.
No wonder they trailed their opponents by 11 points after halftime.
Trailing by 11 points at halftime and playing consecutive away games, it is very difficult for the Cavaliers to recover the score.
In the third quarter, they worked hard to chase points. James frequently hit the basket and caused consecutive kills, forcing Wang Zelin to receive the fourth foul of the game and had to go off the court to rest for a while.
When the point difference was the least in the third quarter, James chased the score to 72:73 in one breath, with only one point left.
However, when James was replaced and just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Beverly led the Trail Blazers' bench bandits to quickly blow the counterattack horn.
In just 2 minutes, the combination of Connett Lee and Anthony Morrow in the second and third positions lasted for 3 minutes, and scored 4 three-pointers from the outside, which suddenly widened the point difference to 9 points.
This time, James couldn't sit still anymore, and after the timeout, he could only go into battle again.
王泽林在这一节里只打了7分钟，却拿到了6分3板的数据，三节不到已经轰下了22分12板3助攻2盖帽。
And he has only played 20 minutes in this game so far.
At the end of the three quarters, the Trail Blazers continued to lead with 88:79.
In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, Wang Zelin, who got ample rest time, led the entire main lineup to play.
On the Cavaliers side, James, who had played 31 minutes in the game, had to be forced to fight.
What's even more emotional is that after Wang Zelin and Lillard on the side played the two-person pick-and-roll, they talked and laughed, raising their hands and feet like drinking water, and the score was recorded.
On the other hand, on the Cavaliers side, James, who encountered a lot of double-teams on the outside, had to give up shooting and storm the basket. His offensive efficiency was like squeezing toothpaste, and it became more and more difficult to score.
At this time, Lillard, who had only scored 4 points in the first three quarters, suddenly broke out.
In just 5 minutes, he blasted 11 points from outside and inside, helping the Trail Blazers to expand the point difference to 20 points.
David Blatt was forced to call a timeout.
As James stepped off the court, he pursed his dry lips and took one extra look at Lillard, who was cheering and celebrating with his teammates.
When Lillard started to perform explosively, James clearly felt that the game was likely to go far.
Now, he has to admit that there is indeed a gap in strength between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers.
It's not just his running-in problem with Irving and Cousins, but also on the bench, they lack a fourth strong scoring point.
Although James has the confidence to lead the Cavaliers to the finals, it is conceivable that he will face the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin again on the stage of the finals...
He shivered instantly.
No, it must not go on like this.
Strengthen!
Must be reinforced!
The game is not over yet, James is already thinking about how he will negotiate with the Cavaliers management about the team's plan to strengthen the introduction of new players.
Pause back.
The Cavaliers lineup has not changed, and it is still the starting combination of Irving, Dion West, James, Varejao, and Cousins.
No way, these five players are already the strongest lineup on the Cavaliers' cards.
Trailblazers here.
During the timeout, Coach Terry gave clear instructions.
In every next round, as long as James received the ball, he decisively double-teamed, because he has realized that there is one and only one person in the Cavaliers who is really capable of taking over the game, and that is James.
Kyrie Irving?
Regardless of whether a large number of fans are praising Irving's gorgeous dribbling skills and strong finishing ability at the basket, in the final analysis, Irving has never proved himself in the previous three seasons, whether it is personal scoring ability or the height achieved by leading the team.
At present, Irving's career high score is only 44 points, and he got it last season against someone who is also in the Eastern Conference.
What's even more disturbing is that this is still an empty cut!
As for Cousins.The difference between him and Owen is that the former is the eldest brother and the latter is the second brother. Don't say anything about anyone.
Therefore, Coach Terry decided to make James the focus of the Blazers' perimeter defense.
Facts have proved that his decision is correct.
When James was double-teamed, he could only play the old routine to break through the ball. At first, Irving and Dion West could hit a few open spots, but as the game continued, when they were physically exhausted, every time James scored the ball, he could only get a series of crisp strikes.
The Cavaliers' offense was misfired.
It's the official timeout for the final quarter.
The score on the court was 109 to 88, and the Trail Blazers still held a huge lead of 21 points.
Pause back.
The fans in the stands found that James, Irving and Cousins all put on their coats, and the other two main players of the Cavaliers did not play, they only sent a substitute lineup.
Doesn't this mean...the Cavaliers have surrendered!
"Wuhu!"
"Win! We won!"
"The pioneer is invincible!"
The next moment, cheers filled the arena.
"It seems that the game between the Cavaliers and the Blazers is coming to an end. Although there are still a few minutes before the end of the game, please allow me to congratulate the king in advance, and congratulate the Blazers for defeating the Cavaliers and winning the first 4 consecutive victories!"
In the live broadcast of the court station, Yu Jia said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Lili, who was beside him, once again analyzed the reasons why the Cavaliers were getting worse and worse, and gave a sharp point of view:
"Obviously after the whole game, the Cavaliers relied too much on LeBron James, and all the possessions were concentrated in James' hands. This is not a reasonable offensive play.
We all know that basketball is a five-person sport. Unless you can have the explosive firepower of historical offensive players like Jordan and Kobe, otherwise, most of the time it is difficult for one person to influence a game. "
Then the two casually glanced at the big screen and found that the Cavaliers did not show the possibility of chasing the wind at all. The focus of the two was no longer on the game, but began to praise the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin.
"Beep!"
Soon, the Chinese fans in front of the TV all thought of the mute button in unison, silently waiting for the end of the game.
……
……
……
"Buzz!"
When the electronic buzzer sounded, amidst the chaotic noise of the Rose Garden Arena, it was announced that the Blazers had won the game.
今晚出战29分钟的王泽林，全场比赛16投10中，轰下26分，外加16个篮板5个助攻3个盖帽。
It was another 20+10 performance. For Wang Mi, this is already a common occurrence.
Of course, this does not prevent Wang Zelin from receiving the biggest praise from the audience after winning the game——
"The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 115:97 at home, and won this game, which was hailed as this year's "Finals Preview" victory. The Celestial King is a well-deserved hero. From the Trail Blazers' lead at the beginning to the process of expanding their advantages, his dominant performance on both ends of the offense and defense is worthy of the 'MVP' cheers from all the fans on the scene and in front of the TV!"
Under the night in Portland, the liveliness of the Rose Garden Arena has not dissipated for a long time.
After winning the game at home, the celebrities who came to the Rose Garden Arena to watch the focus battle did not get up after the game, but whispered to the people around them in their original positions, reminiscing about this exciting battle.
Wang Zelin stopped on the sidelines, shook hands with tonight's opponents friendly, gave James a big hug, and then accepted an interview with the sideline host, answered two or three innocuous questions, returned to the locker room, washed briefly, and went directly to the post-match press conference.
Lillard also came and sat down early with head coach Terry Stotts.
It can be seen that he is very satisfied with Lillard's performance tonight.
There is one thing to say, if Lillard didn't go crazy and scored 5 points in 11 minutes as soon as he came up in the last quarter, even if the Blazers still win tonight, there is a high probability that they won't win so easily.
今晚詹姆斯出战了38分钟，全场24投13中，三分线外7中3，轰下全场最高的34分，再外加7个篮板5个助攻2个封盖和2个抢断。
Such a terrifying performance is still difficult to change the tragic ending of hating Portland. It can only be said that James really tried his best tonight.
Wang Zelin looked around, but Aldridge didn't come.
Aldridge also performed very well tonight. He made 15 of 8 shots and scored a quasi-double-double of 19 points and 9 rebounds.
But when he thought about it, Aldridge had always kept a low profile, so he didn't think much about it.
The press conference started quickly, and the first question was a reporter from the local media in Portland:
"Wang, the team has won four consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, and their record ranks first in the league! Then, are you confident in breaking the winning streak at the beginning of last season?"
