NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 604 Everyone who is witnessing history

For any NBA player, scoring 30 points in a game is a difficult challenge.Because this has high requirements for players' scoring ability, touch stability, and physical fitness.

What's more, it was 30+ for several consecutive games!

算上刚刚打魔术的30分12篮板，王泽林已经连续4场比赛得分超过30分，其中有两场得分上了40+。

本赛季，在出战的36场比赛当中，他得分30+的场次已达足足20次，占比概率为56.6%。期间包括了一次连续5场30+、两次连续4场30+，这样的疯狂得分表演给外界造成的震撼力是无与伦比的。

Considering that this season's regular season schedule has not yet passed halfway, the outside world is discussing how many times Wang Zelin can achieve 30+ games in a single game this season?
For example, 40 times, and some said 50 times. What's more, it said that Wang Zelin's current explosive performance was only temporary, and he might not be able to exceed 30 times after all the next games.

There were all kinds of discussions from the outside world, but this really raised Wang Zelin's popularity again, making him smile silly for a long time every day when he woke up to check his fan value.

Finally, back to the clichéd topic.

People began to compare Wang Zelin today with James during his rookie contract.

同样是生涯第三年，彼时05~06赛季刚刚年满21岁的詹姆斯，单赛季常规赛交出了49次30+，场均可以送出31.4分7板6.6.助攻1.6抢断0.8盖帽的全能表现，并排在了那一年常规赛得分榜的第三。

Ranked ahead of James are Allen Iverson with 33 points per game and Kobe Bryant with 35.4 points per game!

Some people may ask, why not compare it with another Kobe Bryant who is also known for his scoring ability at the same time?

In fact, fans who really know Kobe will definitely not have such questions.

The reason is very simple. Although he entered the league in 96, Kobe did play as a substitute in the early stages of his career. In the first four years of his career, Kobe's scoring average never ranked among the top 10 in the league. Until the 00-01 season, when he grew up, he gradually took over more possessions, and his scoring average jumped to 28.5 points per game, which is fourth in the league!
By the way, the No.3 player ahead of Kobe is none other than Shaquille O'Neal, who averaged 28.7 points per game.

This is also one of the rare times in NBA history that two players on the same team rank among the top five in scoring per game.

The closest to this situation was the 06-07 season a few years later, when the Nuggets traded for Allen Iverson in the middle of the season, officially forming a golden duo with Anthony.

After the season ended, Anthony ranked second in the season's scoring list with an average of 28.9 points, second only to Kobe's 30.6, while Allen Iverson ranked fifth in the league with an average of 26.3 points per game!

The last player who was able to win the league's scoring title in the third year of his debut within the rookie contract period had to be traced back to Allen Iverson in the 98-99 season.

That year coincided with Jordan's second retirement. Whether it was the throne leading to the championship or the competition for the scoring champion, due to Jordan's retirement, the league immediately left an empty throne waiting for all the powerful players to compete.

In the 98-99 season, after entering the league, Allen Iverson led the 75 players to the playoffs for the first time. Although he stopped in the second round, his scoring performance is still engraved in the hearts of countless fans.

Because that year, Iverson overwhelmed O'Neal, who was in his prime, and Karl Malone, who was still at the end of his peak, and was elected as the season's scorer with an average of 26.8 points per game!
Starting from the 98-99 season, in the following 9 years, except for the 03-04 season, which was plagued by injuries, he only played 40 games and did not meet the league's rules and standards, and missed the scoring list. In the remaining 8 years, Allen Iverson's average score per game did not fall out of the league's top five!

In this world where long people are everywhere, Allen Iverson, who may be less than 1 meters tall with bare feet, has been able to rank at the forefront of the scoring list all year round in his career. Among them, he has won 8 scoring titles.

The answer itself is a miracle!
Going back to the heated discussion among fans at this time about "Wang Zelin's best scoring this season".

To be honest, when the main players in the Trail Blazers team were injured and absent some time ago, many people were sure that the Trail Blazers were very likely to fail because they were too young.

Taking a step back, even if the Trail Blazers can survive the difficult period behind, they will never be able to keep the league's first record no matter what!
Sure enough, when the Blazers suffered a wave of three consecutive victories, countless people on social media sneered at them. It was under extremely unfavorable circumstances that the Blazers' No. 36 Wang Zelin suddenly broke out!

And it's a blast!

55 points in a single game is not enough to prove it, so let's have another 51 points!
What?Two consecutive 50+ games are not enough!

Then it's no wonder that he scored a gold-rich 52 points in a single game against the backdrop of another league's top powerful Spurs known as the "longest background board in history"!
So far, relying on three consecutive 50+ games, Wang Zelin dragged the Trail Blazers forward with his own strength, not only successfully maintained the league's first record, but also defeated the peeps from the surrounding wolves.

Looking back at the past 10 games of the Trail Blazers, they achieved an astonishing record of 9 wins and 1 loss. Except for missing 2 games due to injuries and rest, one of the remaining 8 games was due to the outbreak of Lillard, who scored 33 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

And this is a game in which, except for the game against the Eagles in the first game of the new year, Wang Zelin put away his edge a little bit, and only scoring "28+14" was enough to beat the Eagles lightly. In the remaining 8 games, all of them averaged more than 30 points per game.

on major social media platforms.

The majority of fans and some experts discussed and discussed, and everyone finally reached a consensus:
Whether they are fans who like Wang Zelin or those who hate him, they have to admit that they are witnessing a new history and the rise of a great statue!

On the other side, the Blazers team of Wang Zelin, who is in the limelight, has just returned to Portland after three consecutive trips.

Next they have two days of rest time, two days later, they will face another western rival at home - the Los Angeles Clippers!

Although no one is flaunting the "new and old lob city" contest anymore, because since the Trail Blazers won the championship, in the subconscious of everyone, the two teams are no longer at the same level.

But this does not reduce the conflict between the two teams based on the past two seasons.

Coupled with the fact that the Blazers, as the defending champions, now rank first in the league, they have naturally become the public enemy of the other 29 teams in the league. Everyone is looking forward to the Clippers' away game against the Blazers.
