Chapter 369 Big cousin declares war

In a match against the Trail Blazers, McAway was extremely happy.

If he is the representative of the 13th rookie, then Wang Zelin is the representative of the 12th rookie. The latter has become the MVP favorite in just one season. By comparison, he is full of infinite imagination for his future.

After the game started, McAway personally felt what is called the dominance of the inside overlord!
He played really well tonight.

But the other teammates were out of luck.

As the center of the 75ers, Spencer Hawes, he does not have the strength and talent of McAway.After being constantly beaten up in the matchup with Wang Zelin, the No. 07 pick in the first round of 10 became more and more frustrated, and left the game with six fouls within three quarters.

No matter how bad Spencer Hawes is, it depends on who he is compared with.

Compared with Wang Zelin, he naturally pales in comparison, but compared with most centers in the league, Hawes, who averaged 13 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists per game this season, can definitely be called a qualified starter.

Without him in the 75ers, Wang Zelin will have no worries and can more actively focus on defending the outside line.

After the entrance ceremony, Wang Zelin looked around the stadium for a week. Of the tens of thousands of seats, only less than 2/3 of them were fans, and there was still a large area occupied by Chinese fans.

The attendance rate of 75 people can only be described as appalling.

Facing such a bad team, the Blazers won without any suspense.

At 1 minute and 27 seconds of the last quarter, Thaddeus Young, a 75-man small forward who has been particularly popular recently, scored a difficult pull-bar 2+1, and the team finally condensed a little morale.After a while, after Brandon Davis completed the dunk, Wang Zelin's morale that had just been raised was immediately beaten back to its original shape.

Those media can't wait to start tweeting:
"Mud Can't Support the Wall!"McAway is not their answer! "

"The next Kyrie Irving?"

"Mikeway's ability to lead the team is still open to question!"

The media is like this, and the fans who have tolerated it for many years are even more rude.

They don't have any rational analysis, and they blurt out all kinds of abuse.

So much so that when he left the field, Wang Zelin heard the insulting words given to the 75 players on the field by the fans on both sides of the passage.

Thinking about it in another way, if he was a fan, he might not be able to help but yell when he saw the knowledgeable team fight into a pile of shit.

The root cause of all this lies in the disparity in strength between the two teams.

He only played 30 minutes tonight, took 14 shots, and scored 24 points without even pushing hard.

Back in the locker room, the winning Blazers laughed and laughed. Some were waiting for the post-match interview, and some were thinking about what to eat later.

"Wang, attend the press conference with me later."

Coach Terry's voice came from the door.

"receive."

Wang Zelin replied in the bathroom

Tonight, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Philadelphia 118ers by 99 points in an away game at 19:75, won two consecutive victories, and continued to lead the league with a record of 30 wins and 5 losses!

……

……

……

Sacramento.

The Kings lost to the Charlotte Hornets 103:113 at home.

Cousins ​​really wanted to win tonight, playing 38 minutes, six minutes more than he averaged this season.

In terms of personal data, he made 23 of 10 field goals, 2 of 0 three-pointers, 14 of 10 free throws, 26 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals, and the foul control was very good, only 4.

But whether it is a shooting percentage of 34.8% or a true shooting percentage of 44.6%, it is showing people that the data obtained by Cousins ​​​​does not play a positive role for the Kings.

After the game, Cousins ​​​​accepted a live interview with ESPN with a depressed mood.

He didn't understand, he had already worked so hard, why couldn't he lead the team to win like the Trail Blazers No. 36?
本赛季考辛斯迎来了大爆发的一年，目前场均能够得到23分11.8篮板3.1助攻1.5抢断和1.3个盖帽，投篮命中率更是生涯新高的49.8%。

In the ranking of centers in the league, Cousins' scoring average is second only to Wang Zelin. This big guy of the Kings has begun to be noticed by many people.

I have to mention here by the way that in the top 10 rankings of the current league scoring list, Durant leads the league with an average of 33 points per game, ranking first.
Rank 2 is Carmelo Anthony's 28 points~
The top three is LeBron James with 3 points~
Rank 4 is Kevin Love's score of 27.1~

Rank 5 is James Harden's 25.8 points

Ranked 6 is Wang Zelin's 24.6 points

……

Ranked all the way to 9th, the player on the list happened to be Cousins ​​​​who averaged 22.9 points per game.

Due to the influence of Wang Zelin, Aldridge's possession of the ball was not as strong as in the original history. His average score did not exceed 23, but he still exceeded 20, reaching an average of 21.5 points per game, ranking 14th in the league.

At the same time, he and Wang Zelin are the only players in the Trail Blazers who have scored more than 20 points.

This season, 4 inside players suddenly squeezed into the top 10 scoring list, which excited many fans who like to watch inside fights.

You have to know that in a total of several seasons, it is already very good to have two insiders squeeze into the top 10 scoring list.Because the general trend of the times is like this, whether people admit it or not, the position of center forward has begun to decline.

At a certain age, people like to go nostalgic.

Now many people have begun to recall the prosperity of the four major centers in the last century, recalling the era of inside dominance.

This year, it is rare for four inside players to break into the top 4 scoring list. Although currently, the fourth-ranked Kevin Love averages only 10 points per game, which is far behind Durant's 27 points. There is no hope of winning the scoring title inside, but this does not hinder the league, the media's momentum, and the fans' love.

Therefore, an ESPN reporter asked Mr. Hao during the interview: "DeMarcus, the next game against the Kings is the Trail Blazers. Are you confident that you can surpass the Kings in scoring? According to statistics, Wang is now ranked 6th in the league scoring list, and you are ranked 9th. The difference between the two of you is no more than 2 points..."

After the loss, Cousins ​​began to organize his words, how to make things difficult for the reporters after the game, as soon as the reporter asked a question, Cousins ​​immediately said: "I didn't feel good in this game, and it was all my fault... What did you say?"

After returning for a long time, he realized what the referee was asking, and his eyes widened.

Outscore that guy?

This reporter is out of his mind!
The highest score in a single game of my career is only 41 points. Let's talk about when I can score 50 points in one night!

……

Cousins ​​was questioned by reporters.

But when he heard that the difference in scoring between the two was less than 2 points per game, his eyes lit up instantly: so the distance between me and Wang is only this little?
Thinking of this, he was full of energy, and said to himself: "I have become different this year, and I don't think anyone in the league can defend me 1v1. I am looking forward to the matchup with Wang tomorrow."

That night, on TV, in the evening papers, on the Internet... almost all basketball-related media were frantically spreading the news that Cousins ​​officially declared war on Wang Zelin.
