NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 365 Goodbye, 2013
"27 points, 13 assists, a win is hard to come by, you can't ask for too much, Chris really did his best!"

——"Laker Nation"

"26 wins and 3 losses! The Blazers successfully surpassed the Bulls' 96 wins in the 23 season. Every time they win a game, they will set a new historical record!"

-- "Los Angeles Times"

"In my opinion, there is no suspense about the MVP ownership. This is the season that belongs to the Celestial King!"

- Lakers legend Magic Johnson

After winning the game, no one in the Blazers expected that the happiest ones seemed to be the local Los Angeles fans.

In a trance, they thought they were fighting at the New York Knicks and Madison Square last night!

Generally speaking, isn't it only New York fans who can do this kind of thing?

But in any case, the Blazers' current achievements have far exceeded their expected plans, whether it is for the management and players, or for the fans who support them.

This season, they played fantastically!

Everyone originally thought that the Blazers' ability to achieve steady progress this year on the basis of last season's 57 wins and 25 losses was enough to surprise everyone.

As a result, judging from the current trend, the Blazers are very likely to break through 60+ wins in a single season this year, and even 65+ wins is not impossible.

At least, a banner of the regular season division championship this season is indispensable.

Speaking of which, the Trail Blazers have only won the NBA championship or the division championship once in history.

Even in the season when Bill Walton, the first player in the history of the Trail Blazers, led the team to win the championship, their regular season was only 1 wins and 49 losses, which can only be called a strong team in the Western Conference.

As for winning the championship later, I am afraid that even Bill Wharton himself did not think about it.After all, that year was only the 6th year for the Trail Blazers, and it was the first time they made it to the playoffs. No one thought this way. This rookie who tasted the taste of the playoffs for the first time turned out to be the winner who had the last laugh.

The Portland Trail Blazers have been established for more than 70 years since they were established in 43. They can be regarded as an older NBA team, and their distance from the division championship must be the 59-win Trail Blazers led by Scottie Pippen at the turn of the millennium century.

And the only division championship has to be traced back to the 90-91 season of the last century, another 63-win Trail Blazers led by "Glider" Drexler.

Now, the Blazers are not only likely to win the second Western Division championship in team history, but also very likely to break the best single-season record in team history.

The light has come to the land of Portland, and a better tomorrow is waiting for them.

……

After the battle with the Clippers, Wang Zelin followed the team and returned to the Blazers without stopping.

Because tomorrow, they will usher in the last opponent in 2013, and it may be the strongest opponent——

The defending champion Miami Heat!
There is a saying that changes are not as good as plans.

Before playing the Spurs, coach Terry and general manager Neil Orsey regarded the last three games of 2013 as a scourge and prepared for the worst early.

At worst, take a vacation?

For long-term planning, no shame!
As a result, the performance of the players exceeded the expectations of the two. Not only was the fighting power overwhelming, but after beating the Clippers, with the blessing of 12 consecutive victories, their morale was also extremely high.

In this case, not to mention that fans and players are not allowed, I am afraid that even they will not allow the team to take turns.

Countless people are expecting the Blazers to continue to create miracles and continue winning games.

What about the defending champions?
It's over!

Then, the Heat are not easy to mess with.

Recently, Wade's condition has recovered, and other players have performed well. The Heat's performance is getting better and they just won a wave of 6 consecutive victories.

So far, the Heat's record is 22 wins and 7 losses, and the second position in the Eastern Conference is still very stable, slightly behind the 24-win Pacers.

No, not long ago, James almost won the best of the week in the Eastern Conference. If Thaddeus Young of Philadelphia hadn't suddenly emerged and led the 75 players to a wave of three consecutive victories, I am afraid that this award really belongs to James.

However, compared to the chanting of the Heat fans, it is estimated that the Philadelphia management is distressed now.

Seeing that McAway has lost the magic at the start of the game, the Philadelphia management is ready to let him practice in the first grade... Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence.

To put it bluntly, they are ready for another year of bad performance.

In the end, another Thaddeus Yang appeared... Isn't it noisy?

Let's continue to play badly. It's only the second month of the season. It doesn't mean that Philadelphia has no hope of returning to the playoffs;

So a Philadelphia management suggested: "No, Thaddeus Young must be traded next season. Compared with McAway, his potential is not much. We can't let him continue to disturb McAway's progress."

Unexpectedly, this proposal was unanimously approved by other high-level officials as soon as it was released.

After thinking about it, a player who has played for 6 or 7 years and barely broke through 15+ points this year, compared with another rookie who was able to score 15+ in his rookie season, everyone knows that he will choose the latter.

Only the magical Kings management, Honey Juice, confidently played off the super genius Tyreke Evans who was 20+5+5 in his rookie season.

James failed to get the best of the week in the East, and Wang Zelin didn't get the best of the week in the West either.

Because Du Xiaoshuai has roots!

在最近雷霆的三场比赛中，杜小帅场均32分10.7篮板5.7助攻1抢断0.3盖帽，场均27.3分15.3篮板5.6助攻4.3盖帽的王泽林与之相比，在评审人员看来，两人属于不分伯仲的情况。

Considering that Wang Zelin has won the best of the week many times, he decided to give it to Durant again.

Of course, these are naturally inseparable from the high-level instructions.They are more willing to see the scene of a group of heroes competing for the title than the situation where the alliance has one superpower and many strong teams.

Moreover, Durant has played really well recently, giving him the best of the week, the media and fans can't find anything wrong.

……

Lost to the Heat, the Blazers' 12-game winning streak was ended.

Wang Zelin was a little depressed. He never expected that Wade, who had only recovered a little before, turned out to be in a hot state tonight.

24 of 14 shots, the most outrageous is 4 of 3 three-pointers...

Although it is said that they are all vacant, but judging from Flash's three-point accuracy over the years:

The three-point shooting rate has been maintained at around 10% all year round. In the second decade of the new century, his three-point shooting rate did not exceed [-]%.

It's outrageous!

Coach Terry's plan tonight is to target James infinitely, while Wade is not letting go. As for Bosh, with Wang Zelin around, Bosh can't jump anywhere.

As a result, Wade stunned the Blazers with 3 three-pointers, which caused a series of chain reactions and directly led to the final loss of the game.

At 102:117 in the game, the Blazers lost to the Heat by 12 points, which was a disastrous defeat with a lot of points lost in the season.

So far, all the Blazers' games in 2013 have officially ended. Since the new season, their record has finally been fixed at 26 wins and 4 losses.

Although they didn't play well in the closing game at the end of the year, their record of 26 wins is still enough to make them proud of the league.

In general, Wang Zelin and the Blazers gained a lot in 2013.And now, it's finally time to say goodbye to 2013.

　I seem to be a little bit sabi. After the Spurs, I already had 25 wins. After the Clippers, I should have 26 wins. In the end, I got another 24 wins...

　　It has been changed. There have been a lot of things recently, which confused me.
