NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers 138:124 in the away game. After this battle, although they still couldn't catch up with the Warriors and Trail Blazers in front, they still locked the third place in the Western Conference ahead of time, which is not a small gain.

Tonight, the Trail Blazers' starting five players, except Wang Zelin, rested after the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Wang Zelin played 8 minutes and once again broke the single-game rebounding record in NBA history, rewriting this record as a single game After 40, he was replaced by coach Terry just now.

The fly in the ointment is that Wang Zelin's desire to attack is so-so tonight, and his scoring performance can only be called quite satisfactory, scoring 36 points.

As long as he can focus a little bit on offense tonight, he might be able to complete the feat of double 40+ in a single game.

But fortunately, Wang Zelin exceeded his pre-match rebound goal. After this game, his rebounds in the season reached a terrifying 1635. After the first 80 regular season games, his average rebounds per game exceeded the 20 mark for the first time. Reached an unbelievable 4!

According to Wang Zelin's previous estimates, he doesn't need to average 28 rebounds per game in the remaining two games. As long as he plays normally and averages 20 rebounds per game, he can achieve the achievement of averaging 20+ per game in the season.

In other words, after at least 70 wins in the regular season, Wang Zelin's goal of averaging 40 points and 20 rebounds per game in a single season has also been achieved ahead of schedule.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, the Blazers finally got their wish and broke the single-game shooting record created by the Nuggets in 1990. The team made 30 crazy shots in the final quarter, and the whole game took 135 shots in total, setting a new record. Record.

The shooters of the Blazers all shot crazy tonight, venting out all the emotions that have been accumulated for a long time. After the game, they obviously lost the game, but everyone's faces were flushed, and their mental state seemed to be better.

The Spurs scored the most points in this game was Love. He made 6 of 11 three-pointers and scored a team-high 33 points and 21 rebounds. Relying on the feat of 30+20 in a single game, he was named after the game. Best of all.

Leonard, the other big core, is obsessed with defense tonight. He sent 5 steals in this game, and he was numb on the court. At the same time, the offensive end also maintained an average output of 20+ per game as always.

As Leonard is getting closer to his peak, his mid-range shots have become more accurate, making his game performance extremely stable, and his performance is rarely affected by external factors.

In the future, the fans called him a robot, not for nothing.

In addition, the Spurs' role players also performed well, becoming one of the key factors in winning tonight.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is an element of acting in this game, but for the Blazers and the Spurs, tonight is definitely a win-win situation.

The Spurs won the record and locked in the third place in the Western Conference ahead of schedule; the Blazers let the players' depressed mood relax, which is more conducive to preparing for the next playoffs.

Overall, everyone has a bright future.

…

…

After playing against the Spurs, Wang Zelin took a day off.

Another day later, on April 10th, Wang Zelin's team went to New Orleans, and the Trail Blazers will play against the Pelicans for the last time of the season.

The strength of the Pelicans is far worse than that of the Spurs. Even though the Trail Blazers' style of play tonight is still extremely unrestrained, the effects they play are completely different when facing different defenses.

Facing the Spurs' defensive system, the Blazers took 135 crazy shots in the last game, and only hit 52 goals in the end. The super high number of shots was exchanged for the most inefficient game in the past two or three years. Shooting just 5% from the field...

I can't say it's bad, it's just a mess.

Facing the defense of the Pelicans, the Blazers' shooters were like taking Viagra. They were not only accurate, but also extremely strong. In the first half, the team made 15 of 24 three-pointers and made three-pointers. The rate is as high as 5%.

At 74:53, the Trail Blazers could only lead the Pelicans by 21 points at halftime.

The performance of the Pelicans tonight is actually not bad, and it is even better than usual, but it made them meet the gangsters of the Trail Blazers.

Entering the third quarter, the feel of Lillard, Barton, Batum and others has dropped. This is actually a very normal thing.

But what makes the Pelicans desperate is that even though the Blazers shooters feel so bad, they can still continue to expand their lead.

Just because...they have Wang Zelin, a rebounding madman!

In just one quarter of the third quarter, Wang Zelin grabbed 12 rebounds frantically, while the Pelicans only had 7 rebounds. One person grabbed more rebounds than the entire opposing team. It was frantic. .

Relying on Wang Zelin to cover the bottom line, the Blazers shooters are still full of confidence even in the case of average hand feel, and they will shoot when it is time to shoot, not only the slightest hesitation.

After the first three quarters, the score between the two sides came to 102:71, and the Blazers' lead has expanded to 31 points!

The entire interior of the Pelicans home arena was instantly enveloped by a strong breath of despair.

Alas, the gap is really too big!

Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry shook his head secretly, and after a long sigh, he gave the players an order to abandon the game.

The Pelicans have been numb for a long time. When they heard the coach decided to give up the arrangement of the game, their expressions suddenly changed from numbness to relief, like prisoners who have been in prison for 18 years and finally waited for the moment to see the light of day again.

What's more, I couldn't bear the excitement in my heart, so I couldn't help but yelled out.

It can be seen that Wang Zelin and the Blazers have indeed brought a lot of psychological pressure to the players of the Pelicans. The two sides are obviously not in the same rank and must get together, and the blow to them is indeed a bit harsh.

When he came back from the last quarter and saw that the Pelicans had sent a large group of unnamed young Karamis, Wang Zelin immediately had no plans to play again.

Anyway, he has grabbed 22 rebounds in the first three quarters, and once again exceeded his goal, let's let the opponent go today.

In the final quarter of the game, the two sides entered the stage of pecking each other.

The Pelicans are a big team, currently ranked at the bottom of the Western Conference. Compared with the starting players who have been beaten so badly, the substitute players who are still seeking a contract for the new season at the end of the season are extremely excited.

For these little-known little characters, even just three or five seconds of playing time is an opportunity for them to show themselves.

What's more, there is a whole section of time for them to play tonight.

As a result, everyone turned into gangsters on the bench and went crazy on the court. After the first 10 minutes, the Pelicans scored 38 points, while the Blazers only scored 22 points.

Relying on the strength of the substitute players, the score on the field was quickly rewritten to 111:124, and the Blazers had chased the point difference to only 12 points.

The surprise came so suddenly, Gentry's small thoughts suddenly became active again, and he couldn't help raising the plan to upset the Blazers.

In front of the Trail Blazers bench, Coach Terry couldn't sit still.

TNND, I originally planned to let you go, and I said hello, hello, hello, everyone, but you didn't talk about martial arts and engaged in a sneak attack?

Well, if that's the case, don't blame me for releasing nuclear weapons!

After the timeout, coach Terry waved his hand and let Wang Zelin go into battle again.

Wang Zelin was quite surprised by the sudden change in the situation on the field, but he immediately became interested when he thought that he could still play.

I almost forgot that he only scored 27 points in the first three quarters tonight, and he was still short of a three-pointer in order to continue his record of scoring 30+ points in dozens of consecutive games this season.

The difficulty of scoring a record of 30+ points in a row is not low, and it is quite valuable. The outside world often discusses when Wang Zelin will break this record.

Originally, after finishing the previous season, he thought that the rest of the time would be garbage time, so he made no preparations to play again.

I didn't expect the Pelicans to have such an opportunity, so he has to thank the opponent well.

…

…

134:115!

Looking at the score displayed on the scoreboard, Gentry was stunned for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It all started two minutes ago.

At that time, Gentry naively thought that the Pelicans had a chance to upset the Trail Blazers, but as Wang Zelin was replaced again, a scene that made countless Pelicans at home fearful happened.

Wang Zelin, who played again, quickly showed a terrifying strength that surpassed all the players on the field. On the offensive end, he showed that he could lift weights lightly, give what he asked for, and completely socially activate the team's defense line as his own back garden.

In less than two minutes, he hit a three-pointer, a 2+1 and two mid-range shots, and he personally scored all the points scored by the Trail Blazers at the last moment.

Not only that, but he also sent 2 steals and 1 block on the defensive end, which once again destroyed the survival spirit that the Pelicans had finally built up.

Is this the gold content of the first man in the league?

It's really scary!

Gentry was full of emotions in his heart, but everything was done, he could only smile bitterly and swallow the bitter fruit of losing.

Relying on the sudden explosion at the last moment, Wang Zelin's mediocre statistics in the first three quarters soared to 37 points, 25 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 5 steals in an instant.

The 5×5 data in a single game is quite bluffing!

In the end, Wang Zelin was named the best player of the game as a matter of course.

After this campaign, the Trail Blazers' record came to 71 wins and 10 losses. This season they can be described as the best, leading the league from beginning to end.

The Trail Blazers lead the league, followed by the Warriors and Spurs in the West. The two teams have almost locked in second and third in the West.

Then there is the Houston Mosaic team led by the lantern combination. It should not be said, the regular season leadership ability of the peak beard is the first in history. reached historical levels.

As far as the performance in the regular season is concerned, Harden is not inferior to any historical super giant and the strongest combo guard in history.

The Mosaic team led by Harden has also secured the fourth position in the Western Conference. Mosaic and the previous Spurs, Warriors, and Trail Blazers are basically the top four teams in the Western Conference this year.

The 5th to 8th places in the top eight in the Western Conference are the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies, and Utah Jazz.

The original eighth position of the Jazz in the Western Conference is already in jeopardy. The record of the Los Angeles Clippers, which is ranked ninth, has already been videotaped with them. difference.

In the remaining two games, as long as they win one game, even if they end up tied with the Clippers, they can rely on the advantage of the Clippers' 2:0 record before the All-Star Game, and finally beat the Clippers and win the Western Conference. The last ticket to the playoffs.

According to NBA rules, if the regular season records of the two sides are the same, when the final ranking is placed, it is necessary to compare the regular season record of the two sides.

Obviously, the Clippers are at a disadvantage in this regard, because before the All-Star Game, they were an out-and-out bad team. At that time, no matter who met the Clippers, they could step on it.

The Clippers before the All-Star and after the All-Star are two completely different teams.

Up to now, the pattern of the Western Conference has been very clear. There are seven teams that have confirmed the playoff spots. The competition for the last spot mainly revolves around the Jazz and Clippers. The other teams are either slowly falling behind after the All-Stars, or It was put out ahead of time.

In the east, the competition this season is more intense than in the west.

Of course, the so-called "intense competition" here mainly revolves around the teams from the second to the ninth in the Eastern Conference.

At present, the Celtics have a record of 53 wins and 27 wins in the regular season, basically locked in the first place in the Eastern Conference.

The Chicago Bulls followed closely, with a record of 51 wins and 30 losses in the regular season, also locked in second place in the Eastern Conference.

Then there are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors with comparable records. Both teams now have a record of 49 wins and 32 losses. The dragons have an advantage in the fight record, so they beat the Raptors and ranked third in the Eastern Conference, while the Raptors ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

It's just that the two teams still have one game left. As long as the dust falls, the Raptors still have the possibility of overtaking the Cavaliers.

The Washington Wizards can be regarded as a star team with a dazzling performance in the Eastern Conference this year. Last season, they had a record of 41 wins and 41 losses in the regular season and missed the playoffs. This season, with the growth of Wall and Beal in the backcourt~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ In addition to the average double-double performance of the inside Polish hammer Marcin Gortat, and the reinforcement of the three-point marksman Bojan Bogdanovic introduced during the All-Star period, the Wizards strength has been further enhanced.

At present, their record is 48 wins and 33 losses, only one win behind the Cavaliers and Raptors, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Taking the Wizards as the watershed, the teams after that have at least 6 wins behind the Wizards, and there is no hope of overtaking them at all.

Therefore, these teams have formed a new set of competition.

They are the Atlanta Hawks ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with 42 wins and 38 losses, the Milwaukee Bucks ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 42 wins and 39 losses, the Indiana Pacers ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference with 41 wins and 40 losses, and the ninth in the Eastern Conference with 41 wins and 40 losses. the Miami Heat.

Near the end of the season, in the final qualifying battle, the competition in this group is the fiercest.

Until the last moment, no one can tell who their opponent in the first round of the playoffs will be?
