After two months of growth and Kobe's injury, Wang Zhe gradually became the core of the offense and defense of the team.
If it weren't for the fact that Phil Jackson had some opinions about his style on and off the field, he would definitely put him in a more important position.
However, Wang Zhe was the only one Phil could use on the current team.
The pause ended and the match resumed.
The pressuring defense from the outside that the Los Angeles team had strengthened made Pierce miss his shot.
After Gasol's rebound, Wang Zhe had already gone down quickly. The old Celtics couldn't keep up with Wang Zhe's speed at all, so Fisherman decisively went up to the ball.
Wang Zhe's slam dunk succeeded.
9：17
When the Celtics returned, Ray Allen received the ball from outside the three-point line and was blocked by Vujasic. He took a step past the defender and broke into the basket to attract Gasol's defense. He then passed the ball to Garnett, who was plugged in.
Just as the Wolf King was about to slam the ball, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and slapped the basketball away.
After blocking the shot, Wang Zhe patted his chest muscles, seemingly provoking the old Wolf King.
When the Wolf King was young, he had never suffered such humiliation.
Unfortunately, he was a little old now and didn't have the explosive power he had in the past. When he met a young kid like Wang Zhe, he naturally suffered a loss.
However, no matter how much he suffered on the field, the Wolf King would not let his mouth suffer.
He approached Wang Zhe and chattered,"Do you think you're very handsome? Newbie, no matter how hard you try, you will still lose. No matter how hard you try, Kobe will be the boss of the Laker, not a good-for-nothing like you who only knows how to hang out in nightclubs.”
It seemed that the big hat had really made Garnett angry. His trash talk had escalated.
After being scolded, Wang Zhe no longer showed weakness. He replied,"Oh, is that so? Then if you're blocked by me, aren't you worse than trash?”
This kind of retort made Garnett even angrier. He began to curse at the real trash talk.
Wang Zhe did not want to be outdone. He scolded in Chinese," F * ck, you idiot. F * ck, you DSM…"
The two of them lit up the smell of gunpowder under the basket. The referee whistled and warned the two of them. Their teammates also came over and separated the two of them.
……
After Garnett was pulled away, he applauded the fans who were jeering and called on them to create more noise.
"The Wolf King is starting to spew trash talk. It looks like our team is going to get serious.”
"Their center forward looks tough. No, we have to continue to attack and interfere with him verbally.”
"If we make him mentally collapse, we can easily win.”
……
Wang Zhe was in charge of defending Garnett, who was serving the ball from the baseline.
The audience on the sidelines began to verbally attack him.
In response, Wang Zhe blocked Perkins under the basket.
The Los Angeles team attacked. Wang Zhe attacked the basket and Perkins fouled.
The Celtics attacked, and Garnett forced his way to the basket, which also resulted in Gasol's foul.
……
The game was getting more and more intense. Both sides started a fierce hand-to-hand battle under the basket. Wang Zhe led the team to catch up with the score, but after changing to the rotation lineup, the score was pulled away by the Celtics again.
At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers trailed by nine points with a score of 23:31.
In the second quarter, the two sides switched sides again. The Celtics played a tacit teamwork. Rajon Rondo completely dominated the offensive end. In the face of Old Fish, he deftly broke through to the basket and mobilized the Laker's defense, repeatedly assisting his teammates to score.
Facing such an opponent, Wang Zhe had all the strength but he couldn't use it. He cut off the passing route and Rondo made a layup.
He went to fill in the defense, and Rondo could accurately find the empty space to pass the ball.
This was the strength of the league's top point guards to cut defense, and the Los Angeles Clippers lacked such point guards the most.
On the offensive end, Gasol and Vujasic did not have a good feel today. They must have been disturbed by the enthusiastic fans from the away game.
It was obviously not enough to rely solely on Wang Zhe's offense under the basket.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers were 45 - 62, trailing by 17 points.
The fans on the sidelines were happy. When Wang Zhe walked into the players 'passage again, their ridicule came like a tide.
At this moment, Wang Zhe was really angry, but he did not vent his anger directly on the fans. Instead, he silently set a goal in his heart: "We must win this match!”
……
At halftime, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Los Angeles Clippers froze to freezing point.
Facing their old rival, the Celtics, the Los Angeles Clippers trailed by 17 points at halftime.
Although Kobe did not play, the score was indeed a little low.
The players seemed to be reminded of their loss in the finals the year before last. The Celtics seemed to have become the nemesis of the Los Angeles Clippers and were difficult to overcome.
Phil Jackson encouraged the players." Guys, cheer up. Don't be intimidated by their home ground. Let's play our game. Don't care about the voices outside the field.”
Then, he decided to change his tactics again."We have to play faster in the second half and try to bite back the points.”
