Chapter 794 Invasion and Influence of Injury Wave
Lore, failed? !
Bill's three-pointer at the last moment failed to complete the lore.
And Wang Zelin's limit block also became the last stroke of this game.
The score was completely fixed at 110:109!
Perhaps everyone did not expect that the game would be so intense before, let alone that it would end with such a dramatic ending!
After the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers still held a double-digit lead, but unexpectedly, Bradley Beal led the Wizards' counterattack in the last quarter. He surrendered the strongest battle of his career, hit a 4-level three-pointer in the final quarter, scored 40 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. On this night, the whole world saw his explosive scoring ability.
But all of this is the key to the final decision. After a goal was blocked by Wang Zelin, it was eclipsed.
The Wizards fans wailed and sighed in low voices, and the young Wizards players looked at the scoreboard on the big screen with depressed and helpless faces.
Obviously it was only a little bit short, obviously victory was so close to them, but in the end it still passed like this.
Looking at the Blazers players who were embracing and celebrating wildly, Bill, who was blocked for a lore, was standing in the middle of the court at this moment, with his hands on his hips, his head bowed, and his lips were tightly pursed.
He worked hard all night, and finally fell short. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
The originally fanatical Verizon Center also seemed silent at this moment.
"Okay, don't think too much about it, you've done a great job, it's not your fault."
Wall came to Bill's side at some point, patted the little brother on the shoulder, and comforted him with some worry.
"I'm fine, it's just... Forget it, we will definitely win it back next time."
Bill forced a smile so Wall didn't have to think about it.
But no one knows what he really thinks in his heart.
It's easier said than done to win back next time!
Bill knew very well how terrifying this Trail Blazers team was, and he even had a faint premonition in his heart that the only chance in his career to beat the Trail Blazers No. 36 was probably tonight.
But he missed it.
From the end of the game to the time he left the field and returned to the locker room, he was still in a daze. It seemed that he couldn't let go of the fact that he was blocked at the last moment.
After taking a shower, Wall came out and saw that Bill hadn't even changed his jersey, so he wanted to come up to persuade him.
At this time, head coach Randy Whitman came over, patted Wall on the shoulder, and said softly: "Now Bradley is in a sad mood, so don't bother him. I believe that if you give him more time, he will figure it out by himself."
Wall remained silent, but nodded, agreeing with the coach's statement.
In the entire home locker room, Bill was the only one left who was deep in thought.
On the other side, in the away locker room, the Trail Blazers players were still celebrating wildly.
It has been a long time since they played such a thrilling game, and without Wang Zelin tonight, they might really lose to the Wizards.
If there is really a comeback in the final quarter, they will probably die of sadness.
Fortunately, Wang Zelin stepped forward again and became a hero of the team, turning the tide at the critical moment.
In this game, with 33 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks, 3 assists and 1 steal, today's Wang Zelin can only be called a normal performance, but the block lore at the last moment directly made this game one of his career masterpieces.
That key block is also enough to add a lot of color to the highlights of his career!
In addition, Aldridge scored 22 points, Lillard had 19 points and 13 assists, Batum had 15 points, and Barton had 11 points. All five starters scored in double figures.
Because this is an away game, the Trail Blazers didn't celebrate for too long and left the locker room in a hurry.
The other players can go back to the hotel, but it is Wang Zelin, who hit a quasi-lore tonight and sent a fatal block. After the game, there are still a lot of media waiting to be interviewed.
……
One night rest in Washington.
On the morning of the 18th, the Trail Blazers took an away charter flight to Atlanta and came to the last stop of the Eastern Expedition.
The opponent in this station is the Eagles, which ranks fourth in the East with a record of 25 wins and 17 losses. They are quite strong and are an out-and-out team in the East.
Of course, their game style has not changed in recent seasons. It is still a team basketball that focuses on egalitarianism, and every point is very strong.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, every point is strong and limited!
To put it bluntly, there is something, but not much.
At 7:30 in the evening, the game begins.
Although the Eagles are not weak this year, they played brilliantly against the Blazers, but after all, they lack confidence. After Wang Zelin scored 16 points in the third quarter, the game almost lost its suspense.
But there was another small episode in this game, that is, when the two sides were competing with the bench lineup at the end of the quarter, Beverly twisted his ankle after landing a confrontation layup, and left the game early with 3 minutes before the game.
Beverly also suffered an injury all of a sudden, which caught everyone on the Trail Blazers by surprise, and the players on the field were also a little panicked. Thanks to Wang Zelin and Lillard returning to the battle, the situation was stabilized.
In the end, at 114:105, the Blazers narrowly beat the Eagles by 9 points in Atlanta, ending their trip to the Eastern Conference.
At the same time, their record has also come to 41 wins and 1 loss, which ranks first in the league.
However, the joy of the 41st win of the season could not overcome the shadow caused by the accidental injuries of two consecutive important rotations during the team's Eastern Expedition.
It was Jokic before, and Beverly tonight. Will it be my turn in the next game?
Any player can't help but start thinking wildly.
No way, continuous away games and long season journeys can easily make players physically and mentally fatigued. In this state, injuries are inevitable.
In fact, various NBA teams are accompanied by a wave of injuries almost every season, but unfortunately, the Trail Blazers seem to have their injury wave this season.
……
Back in Portland, in the game against the Lakers, the Trail Blazers unexpectedly lost at home!
Playing more than half of the season now, the Trail Blazers lost a game at home for the first time.
"The Lakers are so efficient today! They are so accurate that they have no friends."
"However, I don't think the Lakers can be blamed for being too accurate. I can only blame the Blazers themselves for being too inaccurate."
The two home commentators shook their heads. The Blazers were overstocked by machines outside the three-point line today. Except for Wang Zelin, everyone else's shooting bags seemed to have been forgotten in the Atlanta hotel room.
It may be because both Jokic and Beverly were injured during the confrontation at the basket, and the Blazers players were willing to have some shadows about hitting the basket, so they subconsciously increased their outside shots tonight.
As a result, the more you cast, the harder you cast, and the more you cast, the more you fall into a vicious circle.
And when they were feeling bad, they just ushered in the explosion of the Lakers' outside shooters. Under the ebb and flow, even if Wang Zelin scored a large double-double of 47+22 tonight, it would not help.
In the 43rd game of the season, 107:121, the Blazers defeated the Lakers by 14 points, regretting the second loss of the season at home.
