As soon as the two sides met, Wang Zelin saw Gordon Hayward's ability evaluation, and he had already reached the quasi-All-Star level.

Looking back on Gordon Hayward's resume, I found that it is quite in line with his current strength.

In the last year of his rookie contract, Gordon Hayward was officially supported as the core of the Jazz. After this year of adaptation and adjustment, next season, Gordon Hayward will be able to evolve into a 19+4+4 all-round fighter. This performance has been maintained for about three seasons.

最后，更是在2016~2017赛季达到了个人球员生涯的顶峰，场均21.9分5.4篮板3.5助攻1抢断，生涯首次入选西部全明星正赛。

There is no doubt that Gordon Hayward has gradually entered his peak player period.

But tonight, his performance is destined to disappoint Jazz fans.

Everyone knows that the easiest way to get the Jazz is to get Gordon Hayward.

Although the current Gordon Hayward is becoming more mature, he is not fully mature. In addition to having a very high court IQ, his commendable offensive methods are mostly off the ball, such as endless jump shots after screens, catch jump shots after running, straight-line acceleration breakthrough layups, and so on.

He rarely plays singles, and his shooting percentage is usually barely over 4%, not to mention the Portland Trail Blazers, who have many perimeter defenders.

After being ravaged by Batum, Matthews, and Beverly, Gordon Hayward played for 33 minutes and was completely rubbed on the floor.

As for Derek Favors, another highly anticipated inside star of the Jazz, his performance is also very sluggish.

Speaking of which, both Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward were rookies who made their debut in the 2010 draft. The latter was only the ninth overall pick, while the former was the No. [-] pick.

Quite dramatically, Derrick Favors did not play out after being selected by the New Jersey Nets, and then was traded to the Utah Jazz in the second half of the season.

After playing in the Jazz for three years, the Tanhualang has never scored double digits in scoring and rebounding. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the Jazz already has Paul Millsap at the power forward position, which has caused him to always play as a substitute.

However, in the final analysis, he still does not live up to expectations. If he is strong enough, how could the Jazz management not let him start.

Fortunately, after confirming that they were bad, Jazz coach Yi left Paul Millsap and put him in the starting lineup.

This season, Derek Favors' playing time exceeded 30 minutes for the first time, and his personal data has also been greatly improved. For the first time in the season, his scoring broke through double digits, averaging 13 points, 8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1 steal per game...

Leaving aside the scoring aspect, at least on the defensive end, with his outstanding physical talent, this former "parallel importer" has shown the potential to become the gate of the inside defense.

Gordon Hayward with comprehensive skills on the outside and Derek Favors with defensive potential on the inside, this pair of twin stars from the 10 draft has gradually grown up, which may be the reason why the Jazz management officially established a bad rebuild.

But still the same.

Although it is already the 4th year of his career, and his playing age is much higher than that of Wang Zelin and Lillard, but after some comparison, the Jazz twins seem too young.

Facing the Blazers' defensive champions, Gordon Hayward was defended until he made 11 of 2 shots and 4 of 0 three-pointers. He only scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His efficiency in all aspects was far lower than previous levels.

Derek Favors was even worse. Faced with Wang Zelin who took the initiative to switch defenses, he was like sleepwalking all night. If he hadn't committed a foul and scored 2 points through free throws, he would most likely have a duck egg tonight.

One with 5 points and one with 2 points. The Blazers used their strength to explain what is called the cruelty of reality. The Jazz still have a long way to go if they want to rise!
There was no suspense from the beginning to the end of this game. Even if the Blazers were in the East in the last game and flew back to the West in the next game; even if veterans like Garnett and Mo Williams were unwell and in decline, the Blazers still played very easily... The Jazz are really bad!
今晚王泽林三节打卡下班，出战26分钟拿到20分15篮板5助攻2盖帽，2次都是送给德里克费沃斯。

The fans in Utah area were looking forward to the 10th Gemini star upset and defeated the number one in the league. They didn't see it. They only saw that Gordon Hayward was so defended that he didn't dare to shoot, and Derek Favors couldn't even squeeze into the paint area.

The best performer of the Trail Blazers is naturally Wang Zelin. Today's Princeton system is too suitable for abuse, and it is still the kind of thief.

Although the scoring has declined, Wang Zelin's other statistics, especially assists, have begun to rise sharply. Now his average assists per game this season has stabilized at 4.7, which is not far from the average of 5 assists per game.

You know, in addition to point guards in the NBA, players in other positions, if they average about 4 or 5 assists per game, and if they score and rebound well, they can be called almighty.

And this requirement is more for shooting guards and small forwards. For inside players such as power forwards and centers, if they can average more than 3 assists per game, it is already incredible.

An inside player can average more than 3 assists per game, so one can imagine how smooth his team's offense is.

What's more, Wang Zelin's assists per game are almost close to 5.

Looking at the history of the NBA, from the founding of the league to the present, from the birth of the No. 5 center to the present, there have only been 4 players in the NBA who can maintain an average of 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in their careers, while also averaging more than 3 assists per game.

The 4 are basically big men from ancient times. The most famous are Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bob Lanier and Billy Cunningham, who are less famous in the hearts of fans, were also superstars in the league at their peak. Later, they were shortlisted for the top 1996 NBA superstars with the first echelon in 50.

Not to mention career average data, even if the standard is relaxed to a single season, there are only four people who can get this kind of data since the 21st century, namely Chris Webber, Garnett, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal.

If this indicator is slightly raised, and the scoring and rebounding remain unchanged, then the assist data will be increased by 1, that is, an average of 4 hours per game...

Well, since the new century, only two people have been able to do this, Chris Webber during the Kings period and Kevin Garnett during the Timberwolves period.

Garnett has more than 4 assists in multiple seasons, and even more than 6 assists in one season.

In the 7 seasons of the Kings, Chris Webber averaged less than 20 points per game in only one season, and averaged more than 6 points per game in the remaining 20 years, and the average assists per game never fell to 4, and the average assists per game exceeded 5 in two seasons.

Perhaps, this is why even in 2020, when Wang Zelin travels over, there are still many fans recalling the Princeton Kings back then.

Not only because of the gorgeous and dazzling offense, but also because they fought 7 games with the flourishing OK combination in the playoffs... Even many people didn't think that it was due to some reasons that the Kings finally regretted being out.

But no matter what, the Princeton Kings back then did achieve both gorgeousness and strength, and they were really two-handed. They did amaze a generation.

Today, Wang Zelin uses his ingenious passes to make many fans recall that there was once a talented big man in the league who was also extremely good at leading the team to defeat one after another with an ingenious guide ball, and brought fans a different aesthetic feeling than the traditional insider...

His name is Chris Webber!

Unfortunately, Weber fell on the last step to the finals stage that year.

Today, another young big man who also showed extraordinary talent in passing appeared in the league. His name is Wang Zelin.

The same Princeton tactical style of play, the same inside support core has made everyone amazing, no wonder everyone will start to compare the two.

While looking forward to it, people have some doubts about how far the "next Weber" can go.
12月10号，主场112:91狂胜爵士22分开拓者，并没有停止自己的前进道路。

On the morning of the 11th, the league announced the latest list of players of the week.
In the past period of time, Jordan Crawford in the East has sprung up suddenly. In the second season when he was traded to the Celtics by the Wizards, Jordan Crawford's statistics have improved, and he has led the Celtics to win all three games in the past three games.

In the three games against the Knicks and Nuggets, Jordan Crawford averaged 23.3 points, 6.7 assists, 3 rebounds and 0.3 steals per game, and his shooting percentage reached a terrifying 61%.

In terms of efficiency, it can be described as the ultimate!
As a result, he crushed James, Anthony, Paul George and other giants in the East, and was elected the best of the week in the East for the first time in his career.

On the western side, after two weeks, Wang Zelin won the best player of the week in the western region again by virtue of his team performance of 4 wins and 4 wins and his personal data of averaging 28.2 points, 13.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage has always been stable over 6%.

It's crazy!

What is even more unacceptable to other teams is that while Wang Zelin is dazzling personally, he does not completely cover up his teammates' own brilliance.

Look at the shot that is the game.

In addition to playing against the Thunder, the number of shots reached 22 times. In the remaining three games, he scored 19 points on 15 of 38 shots against the Mavericks. Against the Knicks and Jazz, he only took 30 shots in total, in exchange for 18 hits.

Even though he has the stats of a superstar, the proportion of his personal shots in the team is not that serious. He maintains his super high scoring stats entirely by relying on his super high shooting percentage.

Therefore, in addition to praising Wang Zelin's high efficiency and plug-and-play attributes, the media is more discussing the team strength of the Trail Blazers.

Why do you say plug and play?
Because until now, everyone understands the importance of Wang Zelin to the Trail Blazers. Most of the time, when he is required to play team basketball, he can take on the responsibility of supporting the core;

This kind of performance reminds people of Tim Duncan before 03. At that time, his basic skills were not as good as they are now, and he was greatly troubled by injuries, and he was truly in a state of no solution in the league.

More importantly, there was no so-called GDP combination at that time. Why did the San Antonio Spurs win the championship at that time?
It's all because of the man who led this team forward, called Tim Duncan!
This year, Yaodao just reported from Europe to the Spurs with a beautiful long hair, averaging 7.6+2 per game; the French sports car is only in the second grade, averaging 15.5+5.3 per game.

And he is already the second scoring point in the Spurs besides Duncan.

As for the admiral?

Don't make trouble, the 37-year-old general David Robinson announced before the season: "I will retire after playing this year."

And he is not the oldest player inside the Spurs.

The oldest guy is Kevin Willis, an NBA living fossil who was in the same class as the basketball god Jordan Olajuwon. He was 40 years old at the time and was an important substitute for David Robinson.

In addition to these two brothers at the center position, there is another player who is widely known to Chinese fans...

That's right, it's the bus, one of the three great mobile Great Walls of the Chinese dynasty that Wang Zelin believed was most likely to have a power attribute as high as 99.

To put it bluntly, the composition of the Spurs' internal players in 03 was weak, and in the playoffs this problem was highlighted even more exaggerated.

Parker averaged 14.7 points per game, and the horse is still the second scoring point, but his shooting percentage is only 40.3%...

The old Admiral can only play 23 minutes per game, averaging 7.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and Yaodao averages 9.4 points per game, and his shooting percentage is unimaginable, only 38.6%...

Throughout the playoffs, the Spurs' other players made an astonishingly low 41.4 percent from the field.

That's why Duncan, who was in the strongest form, was forced to play a 5.94 win share in the playoffs.

In human terms, this is the only one in history!
The second highest in history is the big dream Olajuwon in 94, with a victory contribution value of 4.3...

In 2011, which is considered to be the year of Dirk Nowitzki's transformation from a soft egg to a king, the old driver's victory contribution value in that year was 3.6.

Of course, the victory contribution value involves the defensive end, and the offensive-oriented long-range turret of the driver is not very profitable.

Win contribution value and efficiency value, one is an important consideration factor to measure the value of a player to a team.

The number one record in the league combined with excellent personal data has allowed Wang Zelin to rank first among all players in the league in terms of victory contribution this season, surpassing LeBron James, the king of high-level statistics!

Last season, James was a miracle among outside players because of his season win contribution value as high as 19.3, efficiency value as high as 31.6, and a series of other rare high-level statistics in history, and few inside players can compare with it.

In the end, he was only one vote away from becoming the first player in history to be unanimously elected as the regular season MVP.

So that among the 121 first ballots, Gary Walsh, a reporter from the "Boston Globe" who voted for Anthony, was scolded bloody by fans and the media.

This vote also directly contributed to the subsequent "real name system" voting!
If Wang Zelin continues to play like this, he is very likely to surpass James last season in terms of efficiency such as high-level statistics and become the new king of efficiency.

After all, fighting efficiency and the ratio of inside and outside lanes always have a natural advantage.

However, if he really played more efficiently than James last season, how many people would still care about this?
