"People with lofty ideals", a group of fans who support Wang Zhi in Longguo.

At the beginning, this organization was just some professional fans with "insider information" on the Hupu forum to discuss the game together, and even watch the Mavericks game live online.

At that time, there were very few members, only seven or eight people.

But now, just over half a year later, this organization has become small in China.

Even on the Hupu forum, "people with lofty ideals" has directly become a sub-forum for fans who follow Wang Zhi to discuss here.

Initially, this sub-forum was actually relatively hidden, and even tourists and Common members could not access it, and they had to be authenticated by the administrator to enter this self-forum.

But now, as the sports channel began broadcasting the Mavericks games in the playoffs, and people in the know heard that the Basketball Association would take the initiative to ease the relationship with Wang Zhi, this subpage of "people with lofty ideals" has completely let go!

In the past few days, there has been an influx of new people here, all talking about Wang Zhi's performance in the playoffs!

And this morning, as he scored 24 points at halftime, the posts here almost blew him up!

That's right, it's the first time in history that a Dragon Country player can score 24 points at halftime in the NBA, even on a big stage like the Western Conference semifinals of the playoffs!

Not to mention in the NBA, even in the CBA playoffs, if he played this kind of performance at halftime, he would be blown away.

When Wang Zhi and Dayao faced each other in the CBA finals, they also performed like this several times. At that time, the media all over the country praised them. The basketball fever in the whole Dragon country reached its peak in those two years.

And now, with Dayao and Wang Zhi developing in the NBA, another peak seems to be coming.

It is foreseeable that Wang Zhi's performance will definitely not be limited to this. The fans are looking forward to what kind of performance he will have in the second half? "Eight Zero"

Halftime, Kings locker room.

For this team, the situation is not too bad, at least in Adelman's view, they have played a good performance.

The strategic policy of the Kings has always been to play their own offense well, and then try to limit Dirk Nowitzki on the defensive end, and try to limit Finley and Nash. As long as the "troika" of the Mavericks is limited, the game will be easy Good to win.

Not only did they do a good job in the first half of today, but they also won the two games in a row before because of this.

In today's first half, Dirk Nowitzki, Finley and Nash all played poorly, while the Kings only scored 2 points [It's all because of the Mavericks teenager's explosive performance!

Throughout the first half, Wang Zhi almost went crazy.

Even if Christie is used to defend alone, the effect is not good.

Generally speaking, when there is such a strong man in the opponent's team, it must give the head coach a headache.

But in fact, does Adelman buy pain? Not at all.

He didn't care about Wang Zhi, and told the players: "That kid is fierce, let him score as many points as he can, anyway, we will only defend him, don't pay too much attention... ...Our defensive policy will not change, as long as we defend their three core players, then the victory will be ours!"

Have to say, Adelman is indeed an experienced coach.

He is very clear that the framework of the Mavericks is built around the "troika" of Finley, Nowitzki and Nash.

These troikas have cooperated and grown for a long time, and they cooperate quite tacitly. All the tactical systems of the Mavericks are also carried out around the three of them.

As long as the three are restricted, it will be the lifeline of the Mavericks.

As for the others? It doesn't matter, just let them go. No matter how good their performance is, it won't have too much impact on the overall situation.

Look at G2 and G3, it is the best proof.

The Mavericks locker room, the atmosphere is a bit dull.

The main player can't play well, he doesn't feel good, he is restricted by the opponent's focus, and the team's usual winning system can't be played at all. …

If this game is lost, the entire series will be completely hopeless.

The head coach of the team, Old Nelson, still didn't panic. He arranged the game for the second half as if he was sitting firmly on a fishing platform. At the end, he patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Son, based on what I did to Adelman I understand, if there are no accidents, tonight will be the best time for you to become famous in one fell swoop, whether you can grasp it depends on yourself!"

Soon, the second half of the game began.

The fans at the home court of the Kings poured their enthusiasm into it, and the whole scene was infinitely explosive!

The super high decibel made Ang Zhiji full of emotion, even his blood boiled.

At some point in the first half, when he witnessed the opponent's defense focus on his three "big brothers" and they played extremely uncomfortable, Wang Zhi realized the burden on his shoulders tonight !

In the past, Wang Zhi only fought for himself.

He played well in order to obtain better personal data, to win the recognition of the team, to keep himself in the NBA, and to continue to win bigger contracts.

But now, as Dallas fans like him more and more, the team pays more and more attention to him. In this game, he felt his sense of mission as a part of the team!

All hope is on him, he will lead the team to win the game!

At the beginning of the second half, Wang Zhi once again used his footwork and height to break through to the area near the basket and scored!

Wang Zhi found that the defense of the Kings really didn't care about him that much. He used his body to break into the area near the basket. Before Divac or Webber's supplementary defense arrived, he used Chris to defend him, even if he used his height to block him. The ball is scored, and the opponent doesn't seem to care.

The Kings really don't care, this is their defensive policy, and turning around, they are still sharp on the offensive end.

After Wang Zhi hit the ball to the near-the-basket area continuously, the Kings' defense finally made adjustments, but they only traded Peja, who is 206 tall, to defend Wang Zhi, preventing him from continuing to use his height advantage at the basket. .

But the fiery Wang Zhi certainly has other options.

Peja came to defend, so he didn't use his body, but used his footsteps. After a series of dribbles with extremely large and confusing crotch, Wang Zhi easily got rid of Peja, a sign A three-pointer with a step-back step, still a hit!

It seemed that Wang Zhi was still very hot in the second half!

He continued to score points on the court, but the Kings were still unmoved and let him score.

Of course, Wang Zhi was right. In the third quarter, he scored 16 points from inside and outside shots!

Driven by Wang Zhi, the Mavericks scored 36 points in a single quarter!

Logically speaking, such a performance is enough to reverse the Kings and make the opponent's defensive strategy pay the price!

However, no, just because the Kings' offense was stronger, they scored more 39 points in this quarter!

Webb scored 12 points and Peja scored 11 points. Princeton's offense played as smoothly as mercury in this quarter. Amidst the cheers from the home fans, the entire arena was shaking all the time!

After three quarters, the score came to 98:103.

What a scoring feast!

If it is placed in other teams' games, such a score is completely scored by the whole game.

But tonight, it was just a comparison of the past three quarters.

Who would have thought that a playoff game in the NBA Western Conference semifinals could be played like this?

Is it that neither side is defensive?

Obviously not, this kind of competition, everyone wants to win, and will spare no effort.

The Mavericks can be said to have insufficient defensive capabilities and are completely unable to prevent the opponent's full offensive system.

As for the Kings, they also couldn't defend against their opponents. To be precise, they couldn't defend against the extremely hot second-year player of the Mavericks tonight.

Simply put, these two teams with the best offense in the entire league fought aggressively. After such an extremely fast-paced offensive battle, the fans at the scene were also feasting their eyes!

"This game is so good, and only the Mavericks can keep up with our offensive rhythm."

"Unfortunately, the Mavericks have met us for two consecutive years, so they will lose twice. If they met the Spurs or the Lakers, they might still win.

"Hahaha, enough playing, the last quarter, let's win the game!"

40 points in three quarters, this is Wang Zhi's personal answer sheet!

Perhaps in Dallas, Mavericks fans were worried about the Mavericks falling behind, so they ignored Wang Zhi's incredible personal performance.

But in Longguo, the fans who watched the game were already stunned!

24 points in the first half is already crazy enough. With 40 points in these three quarters, Wang Zhi not only broke his own scoring record in the playoffs, but he is not far from breaking his NBA career high scoring record.

They have never had such high expectations for Wang Zhi!

Even if Yao is the No. 1 pick, Longguo fans never thought that he would be able to achieve such statistics in the playoffs.

"Wang Zhi's performance is probably a godsend!"

"Strong, it's really too strong. Whether it's his singles skills or his confidence on the court, he is no longer the Wang Zhi I knew before!"

"This... is the villain Wang Zhi we have called for a year? To be honest, he really looks like a top villain. This kind of performance is really an insurmountable mountain for Dayao. !"

"So, what level can Wang Zhi play tonight? There is one quarter left, can he lead the Mavericks to victory?"

Indeed, Wang Zhi, who was sitting on the bench wiping sweat with a towel and panting, the first thing to consider was still whether the team could win.

The struggle throughout the third quarter cost Wang Zhi a lot. This kind of play requires a large change of direction in each round, and sometimes even takes the initiative to seek confrontation. Although it is very efficient, it consumes a lot of money on himself …

Personal performance, Wang Zhi has indeed reached an unprecedented height, 40 points in three quarters, which is too strong, comparable to Nowitzki's strongest match against the Trail Blazers in the first round!

However, no matter how strong you are, if the team can't win, this kind of game will be meaningless.

At this moment, Wang Zhi really hopes that the Mavericks can win this game, or in other words, be able to face this crucial game on a night when he is in full swing!

However, thinking about it this way, I feel powerless.

He can only help the team with efficient scoring again and again, but the team is still behind...

At this time, the head coach Nelson came to Wang Zhi, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him: "Wang, I know you want to win, but do you know how to win?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhi neither nodded nor shook his head.

Old Nelson smiled: "Well, I have a method, you can try it..."

The game entered the final decisive quarter, and the styles of both sides changed instantly at the beginning of this quarter!

The rotation lineup of the two sides first appeared on the stage, but they changed their style of painting. From the previous confrontation, to now desperately biting the defense,

Don't even intend to give your opponent an easy chance to score!

It is natural to understand that such a situation occurs.

In this way, the substitutes of the two teams fought for a few minutes, but it was difficult to see the difference, and the score did not increase too much.

When there were 9 minutes left in the game, both sides changed into the main lineup in advance.

No one dares to delay this critical moment, even if the opponent hits a good shot for a minute or two, it may affect the final outcome.

At this moment, the two sides started defending again in unison, with various tough defensive actions taking turns, whistles sounded non-stop on the field, and players from both sides competed at the free throw line

!

When it comes to comparing free throws, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched. As the two best offensive teams in the league, their shooting ability is naturally comparable.

For the Mavericks, Nash and Nowitzki are both top free throw shooters with a shooting percentage close to 90%. For the Kings, the super shooter Peja is also proficient in this skill, and Bibby is also a free throw shooter.

Free throw shooter.

You come and go, the Mavericks have always been 5-8 points behind, neither being pulled away, but also not catching up.

But the time of the game was lost bit by bit.

Time is running out for the Mavericks!

At the critical moment, Wang Zhi stood up again. On the offensive end, he once again used the iconic step-back three-pointer to regain his fiery touch. Then, he continued to use dribble fakes

After breaking through to the basket, he flew the defender and scored 2+1.

Wang Zhi, who scored 6 points in a row, once again broke through to the area near the basket. This time, after attracting a lot of defense from the Kings, he passed the ball to the bottom corner very skillfully and calmly.

After receiving the pass, Finley made a decisive three-pointer!

The Mavericks finally overtook the score!

6 points and 1 assist, this is all the data Wang Zhi got in the fourth quarter.

Since then, Wang Zhi has gone 0 for 2.

But his teammates seemed to have awakened at the last moment, and they found their status one after another. Nash made a difficult three-pointer with a fadeaway!

Dirk Nowitzki grabs an offensive rebound and draws a foul!

4.3 Even LaFrentz gave Divac a big hat!

The Mavericks played the final two minutes to the desperation of Kings fans!

In the end, the Dallas Mavericks beat the Kings 127:123 and tied the series at 2:2.

For the Mavericks, Wang Zhi scored 46 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Nash showed his strength in the last quarter, scoring 26 points and 11 assists. Nowitzki and Finley scored 20 points each.

For the Kings, Peja had 39 points, Webber had 20 points, Divac had 16 points and Bibby had 18 points...

For the Mavericks, this was a difficult battle, but they finally "defended the cloud and saw the moon", and after struggling for the whole game, they achieved a reversal and overtake at the last moment.

Thus avoiding a big score of 1:3, and now, returning to Dallas with a big score of 2:2, the initiative is still in their hands.

For the Kings, this result is obviously somewhat disappointing.

They played almost the whole game [but they fell short at the last moment.

In the last 2 minutes, the Kings' offense was cut off, and Peja, who had been aiming for the whole game, hit the iron with two consecutive three-pointers.

The core of the team, Webber, even made a pass error.

Bibby's defense also had a problem and was beaten by Nash in a row.

46 points! Score a new high! Win!

Wang Zhi became a hero, and tonight, he became a hero in Dallas!

In the locker room of the away game, his teammates poured almost all the drinks and ice water they could find on him, and used this to celebrate in advance.

In Dallas, after watching the live broadcast, fans were shouting and praising the name of "Wang Zhi".

In Longguo, countless fans have been dumbfounded. The "traitor" they once called is like a god of war tonight!.
