At the beginning of the new year, the Shanghai team successfully won the first victory of the new year with a three-point strike in a fierce game, which made the fans' blood boil. The key figure in the victory was Wang Zhelin, who stepped up in the final 12.1 seconds to complete the fourth stunner of his career. This moment is undoubtedly unprecedented and full of exciting moments.
Before this stunner, we need to look back at a stunner experience of Wang Zhelin when he played for the Fujian team. Back in the 18-19 season, the Fujian team and the Bayi team fought for four quarters, and the last attack of the game was only 4.9 seconds left. At that time, Wang Zhelin played 2+1 under the basket and helped Fujian narrowly defeat Bayi 103-102 away, achieving the first stunner of his career.
However, in this New Year's game, head coach Liu Peng originally planned for Bacon to perform the final attack. It's a typical option to let the team's individual best individual singles player dominate the ball, preferably with the last shot. However, in the final 12.1 seconds of the match, Bacon struggled in the face of a double bag, leading to a tactical error. The blocking and dismantling were not in place, Bacon was pinched, and the ball fell to Wang Zhelin by mistake.
At the critical decisive moment, Wang Zhelin became the savior of the team. When Bacon passed the ball to him, Wang Zhelin did not hesitate, but dribbled left and right at the top of the arc, suddenly changed direction and shook off the defense, forming a one-on-one single opportunity. At this time, he faced the three-man bag, not only did not pass to Bacon, but decided to shoot three points. This kind of decisiveness and personal skill play became the key to the final counterattack.
This is not the first time that Wang Zhelin has stepped forward in a lore moment. In the previous round, he had completed a similar three-point shot against Tianjin and hit it, showing his calm and steady performance at critical moments. This is not only an affirmation of his individual ability, but also a reliable scoring point for the team in times of crisis.
Although the initial tactic was not based on Wang Zhelin as the first choice, Coach Liu Peng showed unusual toughness. He trusted Wang Zhelin on the team's inside at a critical moment, and finally won the victory. Such a decision is not only a testament to the manager's vision, but also to the trust he has in the team's individual players. Overall, the victory was not an accident, but a combination of the team's chemistry and the manager's wise decision-making.
However, as with many things in life, the victory was not just about the team's chemistry and the manager's wise decision. At the end of the fourth quarter, Bai Haotian's two free throws missed, the opponent's coach Zheng Yonggang's technical foul, and Wang Zhelin's three-point whistle shooting, so many small probability events happened together, so that the Shanghai team was able to reverse. Whether this coincidence was luck or an unexpected miracle of the Shanghai team at a critical moment has become the focus of controversy among fans.
Wang's three-point strike reminded people of the heroic performances of many superstars in NBA history. His calmness and decisiveness at key moments are not only a reflection of his personal technical accumulation, but also a reward for his trust in the team. In modern basketball, the rise of individual ability can often make or break the course of the game, and Wang Zhelin fully demonstrated his dominance as the team's interior lineman in this game.
Although the initial tactical choice was not based on Wang Zhelin, the courage of coach Liu Peng was undoubtedly revealed at the critical moment. With Bacon trapped, he did not quickly call a timeout or take a conservative choice, but chose to trust Wang Zhelin's personal ability. Behind this may be a trust in the team's tacit understanding and player quality. At this time, Liu Peng's tactical adjustment is not only the victory or defeat of a game, but also an injection of confidence into the team, providing players with an opportunity to show themselves.
At the last moment of the game, the tacit cooperation between Bacon and Wang Zhelin became the key to the counterattack. Although the initial tactics did not go as planned, Bacon made a decisive pass to Wang Zhelin under the double pack, which showed the tacit understanding within the team. Every decision on the pitch needs to be made in a very short period of time, and the cooperation between Bacon and Wang Zhelin seems to have reached a tacit state, which is not only a tacit understanding at the tactical level, but also a manifestation of team culture and team synergy.
This lore is also reminiscent of Wang Zhelin's game in Fujian. In the past five years, the team and players have undergone tremendous changes, but Wang Zhelin's decisive moment has become an echoing element. Perhaps it is such historical variables that make people see Wang Zhelin's maturity and progress more, and at the same time, it also makes this lore more historical.
From the perspective of technical dominance, Wang Zhelin's performance at critical moments is remarkable. Not only did he display exceptional individual skill in the singles, but his decisive three-point selection showed his offensive versatility. This technical dominance makes Wang Zhelin not only an inside player, but also a scoring weapon for the team at key moments.
In this counterattack, the superposition of small probability events has become a dramatic element that makes people laugh. Bai Haotian's two free throws, the opponent's coach's technical fouls, and Wang Zhelin's three-point whistle, which seemed unlikely to happen at the same time, converged at this moment. This uncertainty made the game even more confusing and added a layer of mystery to the counterattack.
The sweetness of victory always excites emotions in the fans. However, behind this counterattack, there are controversies of different voices. Some thought it was just a fortuitous victory, while others saw the perfect combination of team unity and individual ability. Controversy is perhaps the charm of sporting events, not only because of the results, but also about the individual perception of what each fan means of victory.
