On April 8, Beijing time, the first round of the CBA playoffs continued to be staged, and the Shanghai team faced the Shenzhen team. Shanghai eventually beat Shenzhen 120-118, staging a 16-point comeback. In the whole game, Wang Zhelin shot 11 of 17, slashed 27 points, 16 boards and 4 assists, and completely broke out in the second half, tearing off the label of soft eggs in one fell swoop.
After switching to Shanghai this season, Wang Zhelin is still in good shape in the regular season. Averaging 17.7 points and 8.5 boards per game, he was able to deliver a quasi-double-double. However, as a Shanghai team that returned to the playoffs after many years, they encountered the traditional playoff strong team Shenzhen team in the first round, and Wang Zhelin may not have a very good grasp in the penalty area when facing Shen Zijie.
After the first quarter of the game began, Wang Zhelin was still very hard, and as soon as the game came up, he attacked under the basket and dunked violently, opening the record for the Shanghai team. In the next two rounds, Wang Zhelin won two consecutive steals, playing the role of a magic hand thief. In the first quarter, when it was 10 minutes, Wang Zhelin dribbled and made a layup. The first 2 minutes of the opening game were undoubtedly the most highlightful moments of Wang Zhelin's whole game.
Throughout the first half, Although Wang Zhelin cut down the comprehensive data of 10 points, 9 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals. However, throughout the first half, Wang Zhelin's overall performance was still not hard enough. For example, when there were more than 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Wang Zhelin was chased by Lu Pengyu, a 1-meter 97 Shenzhen teenager, who was chased by a big hat.
For Wang Zhelin's ball, Yang Yi and Yang Jian also gave their own insights. In Yang Yi's view, Wang Zhelin's ball is facing the empty blue, and he can directly dunk with both hands, why go to the basket? Yang Jian's answer was even more desperate, he directly said twice in a row that Wang Zhelin was not hard enough. The implication is that Wang Zhelin's ball is too soft.
However, perhaps "hearing" Yang Jian's ridicule, Wang Zhelin finally began to harden in the second half. On the offensive end, facing the defense of Shenzhen, he won consecutive strong attacks, and with 3 minutes left in the final quarter, Shanghai was still one point behind the opponent. At this time, Wang Zhelin stood up and faced Sarinje to throw a successful shot, helping the Shanghai team successfully overtake the score and also sweeping away the label of soft eggs.
