NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 121 The Eastern Eight consecutive customers end (4k ask for a monthly pass)
"King, you're a natural rebounding machine, unbelievable!!! Crazy!!! You didn't see, the chicks in North Shore Gardens were all stunned by the toughness you showed, just waiting You...hehehe!!!"

Back in the dressing room, Hixon put his arms around Wang Zelin's neck with such force that those who didn't know thought he was committing murder.

"Damn, JJ, let go, you're just an animal, and it doesn't matter if others can stand it or not."

Wang Zelin quickly opened Hixon's arm and rubbed his neck lightly.

"Hey, I'm really excited," Hixon let go of his hand and laughed heartily, "But your performance tonight is really crazy, it's like a god!"

"Wang, enjoy this record night!"

Aldridge also came over and patted Wang Zelin on the shoulder. At this time, he was more determined that the other party was the best candidate for the team boss.

"Wang, congratulations on setting a new record. You have become the third player to score 3+ rebounds in a single game twice in a single season after Dennis Rodman and Kevin Willis. No.30."

With the words of Coach Terry, Wang Zelin knew that he had created a bunch of weird records.

This is only on the NBA's official data, not including the history records of the Trail Blazers and the records of Chinese players, otherwise, once it is pulled up, it will take a long time to talk about.

……

The morning of February 12th.

Despite Howard's 28 points and 20 rebounds dominating the paint last night, helping the Lakers beat the Nuggets 122:103...

有威斯布鲁克23分13篮板8助攻7抢断准4双，帮助球队106:94击败爵士迎来4连胜，以13胜5负战绩排在西部第二……

And Duncan chatted about being a teenager, contributing 27 points and 15 rebounds, creating a new personal scoring record this season, helping the team beat the Grizzlies 99:95 in overtime, ranking first in the Western Conference with 13 wins and 4 losses Also number one in the league...

However, Wang Zelin's 26 points + 30 rebounds still appeared in the most prominent places on the homepages of major media.

The bleachers, which only established their website in 06 and entered the ranks of mainstream media in 12, stand out with their consistent blogger eyeball style.

"King is NBA No.1 since the new century!"

Seeing this huge title, Wang Zelin called out: Good guy!

I'm afraid it wasn't from the shock department of UC.

NBA's official website also placed Wang Zelin's miraculous performance at the top of the title.

However, some people praise it, and naturally some people slander it.

"Strength or brush?"

"Scrubbing data during garbage time is the greatest insult to the one behind!"

"Eastern storm? But what will be left after the storm? Are there ruins?"

All of this is naturally from ESPN, the authoritative media in the United States.

In addition, many experts wrote articles pointing out that Wang Zelin played too alone: ​​not only wasting his own potential ahead of time, but also destroying the team's chemical reaction.

There is no need for Wang Zelin to refute such remarks. Naturally, a group of fans will jump out to help him argue.

"12 wins and 4 losses + No. [-] in the West = ruined team chemistry?"

"Average of 20+15+2 data per game = reminder consumption potential?"

"You'll never wake up a guy who's pretending to be asleep @ESPN"

……

The road trip is destined to be hasty. After the North Shore Garden battle, all the Blazers hurriedly flew to the next stop - Cleveland.

The Cavaliers led by Kyrie Irving are the next opponents of Wang Zelin and others.

Since the Cavaliers are one of the few teams with a relatively loose schedule at the beginning of the season, they have only played 15 games so far this season, one less than the Trail Blazers and two less than the Thunder.

As for the record, 2 wins and 13 losses!
It has to be said that Irving will never let anyone down in leading the team to compete for the No. [-] pick.

But even so, Irving did not lead the team to win the first place.

Because, there is another champion with a 14-game losing streak at the bottom!

There is only one year difference in the debut time of these two champions, but the results of leading the team are evenly matched, and it is hard to distinguish.

They are simply a pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, a perfect match!

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, players from both sides began to enter the field.

After casually glancing at the Cavaliers lineup, Wang Zelin was stunned.

Film star Varejao, TT who broke the Kardashian family's "curse of pressing defense"... and Irving who was sitting on the bench in suits and leather shoes.

I almost forgot that injuries have always been a curse that plagued Irving's career, and the hidden dangers of injuries are closely related to his playing style.

Even the team boss is lying down, what is the Cavaliers playing now?
……

After the game started, Wang Zelin won the ball as he wished.

In the first offensive round, Lillard and Lillard completed the pick-and-roll, went straight to the basket and put both hands in the bottle.

The Cavaliers are helpless!
Anderson Varejao, who is facing up, is 31 this year. In addition, he has been troubled by injuries all the time. Although his awareness and desire on the defensive end are still strong, his battered body has made him unable to do what he wants.

After watching for a while, Coach Terry on the sidelines turned his head and chatted with David Vanderpool on the side first.

The Trail Blazers have defeated the two giants in the league, the Lakers and the Celtics one after another. It is difficult for them to overturn with such a super belly like the Cavaliers.

If Irving was there, he could barely have a strong attack point, but now that Irving can't play, Coach Terry really doesn't know how he should lose.

The game on the field has been one-sided from the very beginning...

Wang Zelin and Aldridge on the inside gave and asked, and Lillard on the outside tried various things. With the joint efforts of the three, at the end of the first half, the Blazers led their opponents by 53 points 41:12.

Wang Zelin already scored a quasi-double-double of 14 points and 8 rebounds in the first half.

Coach Terry is very satisfied with the team's outstanding performance, so let's let the satisfaction explode!

In the third quarter, the Blazers continued their amazing offensive!
After only 4 minutes of playing, the Blazers have widened the point difference to 20 points.

Wang Zelin is one rebound short of continuing his double-double performance.

You know, the Trail Blazers' game was a back-to-back away game, and it turned out to be a smooth game, just like at home, but the Cavaliers' side was more like an away game.

In the third quarter, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott called two timeouts, but it didn't work.

This season, the Cavaliers scored 96.5 points per game, while their opponents scored 101.2; their shooting percentages were 43.4 and 47.6 respectively, and the difference in defensive efficiency was enough to rank among the top five in the league.

单节17:25，开拓者78:58大比分领先骑士20分，比赛彻底打花了

The fourth quarter of the game was directly reduced to garbage time. The main players such as Wang Zelin did not get the chance to play. In the real sense, a three-quarter punch card was realized in the NBA.

In this game, Wang Zelin scored 19 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 65% from the field, the highest in the game.

阿尔德里奇得到了17分8篮板，命中率53%；利拉德得到了15分10助攻3抢断，命中率高达55%，竟比阿尔德里奇一个内线球员还要高。

13 wins and 4 losses, still ranked third in the West!

In front of the Blazers are the Spurs' 14 wins and 4 losses and the Thunder's 14 wins and 5 losses.

The records of the top three in the West are very close, and any player who is a little careless may be translocated.

……

On December 12th, the Trail Blazers, who got a day off, challenged the Bobcats away.

The owner of the team is Michael Jordan everywhere!

At this time, the Hornets have not changed their name to the Pelicans, and the Bobcats naturally have no chance to change their name to the Hornets.

As the last Bobcats to enter the league, under the leadership of team leaders "Elvis Presley" Gerald Wallace and "Martial Saint" Steve Jackson in the first two years, the team entered the playoffs for the first time in team history.

Now that Elvis Presley has left the Nets and Wu Sheng has become a Spurs, the team has officially entered the era of Kemba Walker.

Bobcats current record is 5 wins and 13 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference and fifth from the bottom in the league.

The Bobcats were overwhelmed by the Trail Blazers from start to finish.

108:87, big score win!

Because this game is another three-quarter clock-out, Wang Zelin's data is almost the same as the previous game.

出战24分钟，13投8中，罚球2中2，得到了18分10篮板3盖帽！

It's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's that the enemy is too hot!
At the beginning of December, the Blazers liked to mention 12 consecutive victories, and they really got off to a good start.

On the night of the 6th, the Blazers finally met a strong opponent-the Indiana Pacers!

The Pacers are also a young team. Paul George, the core of the team, is not yet 23, and David West, the oldest of the starting five, has just turned 30 and is at his peak.

So far this season, the Pacers have a record of 10 wins and 7 losses, still fourth in the Eastern Conference.

In the eyes of the outside world, if the several youth teams this season are divided into several grades, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Goose City Thunder are undoubtedly in the same grade.

Then, the second tier is the Indiana Pacers.

However, every mistress has the ambition and desire to become the original partner.

Tonight, Paul George successfully proved to everyone that the Pacers have the ability to become one of the three wives.

In the first quarter, under the organization of Lillard, the Blazers opened with a 13:3 offensive climax, and the Pacers gradually recovered their status in the second half.

First, "Gao Yuanyuan" showed his power in the paint area, beat Wang Zelin several times, and caused a foul by his opponent.

This is the first time that Wang Zelin has encountered a player with a high body pressure in the NBA. Coupled with the consecutive away trips, there are two back-to-back games.

Now it's not just Wang Zelin, but many of his teammates are feeling listless and exhausted.

Coach Terry has already discovered this point from the pre-match training just now, but he can't do anything about it. At this time, the test is on personal adjustment ability, and all he can do is to encourage him mentally.

Before the end of the first quarter, the Pacers came from behind and led by one point at 21:20.

Entering the second quarter, Batum led the bench to play, and Nolan Smith hit a three-pointer from the outside to help the team overtake by two points.

But not long after, the Pacers faced the inside of the bench, Hansbrough and Maximi frequently hit the paint to make contributions, and the scores of the two teams have been showing a continuous upward trend.

Three minutes later, Lillard re-entered the game and had a PK with the Pacers against George Hill at position 3.

In just 5 minutes, Lillard scored 8 points and 2 assists, while George Hill performed even better, scoring 12 points in a single quarter.

Before the end of the first half, a three-pointer at the buzzer helped the Pacers lead by 53 points at 48:5.

Successive away trips made Wang Zelin's physical reserves a little less than before, and he didn't play again in the entire second quarter.

Now, Wang Zelin finally understands Lillard's envy for his natural ability to "resurrect with full blood after a short sleep after training", and now he also envies himself for having that ability.

It's a pity that the ability granted to him by the dumb system is only valid during the fusion of star cards, and it cannot produce the same effect during the game.

At the start of the second half, Stephenson fully explained what it means to be "the younger brother goes out, one tops two". After playing, he hit consecutive jumpers and helped the Blazers complete a 6:0 climax.

58: 48!

The point difference came to 10 points.

Fortunately, Wang Zelin, who got a full rest, stepped forward and hit the penalty area many times successfully, helping the team narrow the point difference.

But the Pacers are more blooming, David West, Paul George, and Hibbert take turns to show their power. After three quarters, the Pacers lead the Blazers by 79 points 64:15.

In the final contest, the Trail Blazers, who were behind by a large score, fought back frantically. However, today the basket seemed to be covered.

At the end of the first half, at 87:75, the Blazers were still 12 points behind.

As the game progressed, Coach Terry gradually discovered the problems in the team.

The offensive firepower is sufficient, but the defensive ability is insufficient.

Among the starting five players, apart from Batum, the remaining four players are not good at defending because of various reasons, such as Lillard's poor defensive habits, Aldridge's aversion to physical confrontation, and Wang Zelin's physical strength.

In the rotation lineup, Hickson, the team's sixth man, has excellent athletic ability, sufficient offensive ability, and single defense has reached the NBA pass level, but he is not good at assisting defense.

Coupled with his height of 2 meters, he is destined to be easily sieved when facing big players with some ability.

Victory can cover up all the problems in a team!
And a defeat always makes people start to reflect on themselves, and thus gain a lot.

Now, not only the special coach understands the team's problems, but the coaching staff of other teams in the league also sees the Blazers' weaknesses, and then studies targeted strategies.

It is true that the Trail Blazers are fully capable of getting one of the eight spots in the playoffs, but if they want to make a difference in April and May, they must make changes.

In contrast, the Pacers seem to have a balanced offense and defense. Among the team's main players, in addition to David West, Paul George and Hibbert are all defensive players.

In this regard, the Blazers have to learn more from their opponents.

……

"Beep beep!"

In the final quarter, the two sides battled to 21:25, and the Blazers were 25.

The score was 100:89, and the Trail Blazers lost the last game of the Eastern Conference's eight-game streak by 11 points.

When the whistle sounded, Wang Zelin couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

It's really because the game was too depressing. It's not that the Blazers have no chance to overtake, but they are still so short of breath.

This feeling of being powerful but having nowhere to display it makes people very unfriendly, and he hates this feeling.
