NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal
Chapter 433: Regular season baseline, playoff outlook
Next, Wang Zelin played the full third quarter. In the main lineup, except for Lillard who had a break, the other four also played the full quarter.
At the end of this section, at 84:61, the Heat's death sentence was basically announced.
Of course, the other side may not think so.
The game restarted in the fourth quarter, and the Heat's offensive point was still James. James is in a hot state today. He has already scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the three quarters. Not to mention accidents, it will be another quasi-triple-double after tonight.
Unfortunately, the only thing that the Heat can rely on is James.
Bosh, another of the Big Three, is in average form today.
On the Blazers side, Wang Zelin continued to attack. Since he said he would take over the game, he would definitely fulfill his promise.
As the game progressed, it was discovered that no matter what his teammates could not score, James could only helplessly attack the banner. And every time he finally succeeded in attacking, the Heat fans who originally thought they had seen hope, regrettably found that the opposing Trail Blazers, No. 36, could always respond quickly in the next round.
At the end of the game, the Blazers scored 26 points in a single quarter and the Heat scored 22 points in a single quarter. Not only did the two sides not narrow the difference in the last quarter, but the Heat lost 10 points.
In the end, at 110:83, the Blazers beat their opponents away by 27 points.
Tonight, the score difference between the two sides is really too big!
Although everyone knows that the Heat are missing a general Wade, but they still have James and Bosh present, and they still thought before the game that even if the Heat lose, they should not lose much.
I didn't think so...
And judging from some of the details of tonight's game, if the two sides really meet in the finals, I'm afraid the Blazers will have a better chance of winning.
There is no other reason. The strongest point of the Heat team's offense is undoubtedly James and Wade on the outside. The two are extremely good at breaking through, and scoring the ball to teammates after a breakthrough is also a common game style for the two.
But unfortunately, the Blazers' strongest point happens to be the inside line, the seven-foot giant Wang Zelin with excellent defense.
This kind of opponent happens to be the last thing that breakthrough masters want to see.
well, let's get back to business.
After visiting Miami and winning the 56th game of the season, the Blazers returned to Portland after a night of rest.
The next three games will be played at home, which is good for them.
In terms of opponents, the opponents in the next three games are the Magic, the Thunder and the Bulls.
The Magic are still the same, pure and simple, they are currently ranked third from last in the Western Conference, and they have not even won more than 20 games.
As for the following two opponents, the Thunderclap Bulls, although they are both seeded teams in the playoffs in their respective divisions, the two teams have the same tragedy.
Both sides have a core missing due to injury, and they are also the No. 1 position of the playmaker. A team without the core No. 1 position is like a car without a powerful engine. Although there are other engines that can replace it for a while, the overall impact on the car and the driver's sense of operation are both. Very bad.
Therefore, for the next three games, Wang Zelin and his teammates are full of confidence.
Of course, this is also the case.
On March 20, the Blazers welcomed a visit from the Magic at home.
The biggest highlight of this game, apart from the front desk of Wang Zelin and Oladipo before the game and the several three-point fights between Oladipo and Lillard in the game, throughout the whole game, it is basically a one-sided momentum.
The Blazers won the game as expected.
In the subsequent games between No. 22 and the Thunder and No. 24 and the Bulls, although the two sides showed an anxious situation in the first half, once in the third quarter, after Wang Zelin and his teammates habitually set off a wave of offensive climax, Neither the Thunder nor the Bulls could stop their offensive.
3 home wins!
At the same time, the Blazers also won the longest wave of 9-game winning streaks since February. As long as they win one more game, the Blazers can get the third 10-game winning streak of the season...
What is this concept?
At least this season, no team has won three 10-game winning streaks. Not to mention three 10-game winning streaks, even two teams with more than 10-game winning streaks are very few in the league.
Wang Zelin, do they want to get it?
Of course I do!
If you say you don't want it, you're definitely pretending to be arrogant.
But ask yourself, it is a bit difficult to get 10 consecutive victories.
After sending the Bulls away at home, the Blazers only have the last 4 games left in March. If we want to rank the difficulty of these 4 games, the most difficult ones are undoubtedly No. 25 and the Grizzlies. Contest.
Because this game is not only away, but back to back!
And everyone knows that playing with the Grizzlies is a terrible feeling from the inside out, from the mind to the body.
It's not enough to be timid in order to fight first, but Wang Zhilin did find that the state of his teammates was obviously not right before the game.
In fact, he is not so.
Alas, let's take one step at a time.
...
...
In the end, it didn't take long for the 9-game winning streak to be won. Seeing that Zhan Wang's 10-game winning streak was just around the corner, the Blazers still failed to get their 10th-game winning streak.
They lost to the Grizzlies.
This defeat was completely in the state of the Blazers, and the Grizzlies were brought into the defensive whirlpool like a swamp and quagmire.
After this battle, the Blazers and the Grizzlies had a 2:2 regular-season battle, and the two teams were tied. If you want to meet the Grizzlies again, you have to wait until the playoffs.
With two braces and another loss to the Grizzlies on the road, the media did not rush to blame the Blazers.
Everyone knows that since the Grizzlies have the title of regular season scumbags, they are naturally not ordinary people. What's more, the Grizzlies are not that weak in the first place. I don't know how many strong teams have failed in Memphis this season.
In the end, there are still too many uncontrollable factors in a regular season game of 82 games, which has led to the frequent occurrence of weak teams defeating strong teams.
Only in the best-of-7-game system of the playoffs, the chance of such an accident will be much smaller.
That's why a black eight, black seven, or even a black six in NBA history will cause a huge stir.
After losing to the Grizzlies, the Blazers have another strong 3-game winning streak.
First, after beating the Lakers at Staples, and then at home against the Suns and Pelicans.
...
So far, after the game in March was completely over, the Trail Blazers' regular-season wins had already exceeded 60 games, with an impressive record of 62 wins and 13 losses, and it was the first team in the league to break through 60 wins.
If nothing else, the regular season champion of the 2013-2014 season will belong to Portland!
Now, it's time to put the prospect and arrangement of the April schedule on the agenda.
From April 1st to April 16th in the last half-month schedule, the Blazers still need to play 7 games before officially announcing the end of the 2013-2014 regular season schedule.
In the last 7 games, there are many challenges from strong teams. No, it should be said that more than 80% of the opponents that follow are strong teams.
The first is No. 1. Wang Zelin and the others need to travel to Indiana to challenge the Pacers, the top team in the Eastern Conference. After returning to home on No. 4 and playing the Jazz, the next three consecutive away opponents are the Warriors, Clippers and Mosaic. Finally, the Cavaliers and Lakers.
As long as Wang Zelin thought that 5 of the next 7 opponents were at the playoff level, he felt a faint sadness in his heart.
Who arranged the schedule for this is too outrageous.
After complaining fiercely in his heart, he also understood that now the team is paying for the loose arrangement at the beginning of the season.
Once you understand it, you have to learn to choose.
Both Wang Zelin and the coaching staff are very clear that even if they win all the next 7 games, the Blazers' final record can only be fixed at 69 wins, completely missing 70 wins.
Of course, it's not that 69 wins is how weak. On the contrary, it is already very strong to be able to win 69 games in the regular season.
Speaking of NBA history, the only teams that can win 69 games in the regular season are the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1971-1972 season and the Chicago Bulls in the 1999-1997 season.
Just these two!
But who made a 72-win bull stand above the heads of these two teams!
To be honest, if after winning 69 wins, only the Trail Blazers temporarily ranked second in history after the Bulls with 72 wins, then Wang Zelin may be more interested.
But the problem is, there are already two teams in front of the 69-win team in the regular season. If they squeeze in, Wang Zelin always has a feeling of awkwardness and cheapness in his heart.
If this lets players and fans of other teams know Wang Zelin's state of mind at this time, I'm afraid they will spit spit on his face.
Are you pretending to be Nima?
Well, it's a bit of a pretense.
But Wang Zelin thinks he has the strength and capital.
But it's not all about pretending or not, but they have to prepare for the next playoffs.
Anyway, San Antonio, currently ranked second in the league, has only 59 wins, and their remaining games are the same as the Blazers, 7 games.
It means that even in the worst case, the Blazers only need to win 5 of the next 7 games to be able to disdain the league with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses!
Maybe it won't take 5 games, but 3-4 games.
On the morning of the 31st, Wang Zelin got up early.
After breakfast and the morning exercise, Wang Zelin arrived at the team headquarters on time at 10 in the morning.
We are about to enter the last regular season game month. At the request of the management, the whole team will hold a targeted meeting today.
At today's meeting, a common topic was brought up by Coach Terry Stotts:
Rotation!
...
At present, the regular season championship basically belongs to the Blazers' pocket, and it is also the consensus of the outside world.
Then, preparing for the playoffs after half a month has become the top priority.
In addition to talking about rest, general manager Nell Olsey also made a precondition at the meeting.
Win at least 5 regular season games to ensure that the team will win the regular season championship.
For the attention of the team management, everyone expressed their understanding.
Don't look at the fashion of the Blazers, although they once had a championship banner, compared to many teams in the league, they are considered to be richer than their ancestors.
But this "overpass" is only compared with some ordinary teams. Compared with some famous teams, it still looks too shabby.
The only championship under Bill Walton, the only 63-19 regular-season championship under Glider Drexler in the 1990s…
The above is the only thing in the history of the Portland Trail Blazers that can come out and chat with other teams.
Then, it's gone!
Winning 5 of 7 games and securing the regular season championship has become a bottom line given to the team by team owner Paul Ayton at the meeting.
in the conference room.
Wang Zelin raised his hand and attracted everyone's attention.
There are those who are envious, those who are grateful, and those who are amazed... The eyes are different, but there is no jealousy.
At the end of the day, everyone in the room is fighting for a team, and it will only be in their favor if the Blazers perform better.
"I don't care about other teams. The game against the Houston Mosaic on the 13th must not be lost!"
Under the gaze of Chinese, Wang Zelin made his only request.
"Uh……"
"Of course, I've seen those grandchildren dislike for a long time."
"Wang, don't worry, we will definitely kill the Houstonians this season!"
"..."
en, although I don't know why the Mosaic team was recorded by Wang Zelin in the notebook for so long~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But neither Lillard and others who are teammates nor Terry Stotts and others did not ask his reason.
It can be said that if Wang Zelin was not selected in the 2012 draft, the Blazers would never be as glamorous as they are today.
From the appeal of selling tickets to the improvement of the overall strength of the team, the changes caused by the arrival of Wang Zelin in the past two seasons are obvious to all.
As early as the end of this season's trade deadline, team owner Paul Allen let it go: No matter whether the Trail Blazers can win the championship this season, he is absolutely not for sale.
Whether it is to buy favors, or for other reasons. After these words fell into the ears of Wang Zelin and other teammates, they were still moved and shocked.
"If that's the case, then it's decided. Tomorrow's game against the Pacers is decided to give up strategically. Wang, LaMarcus and Kevin will rest and stay in Portland."
"As for the match between Shunxia and the Jazz..."
After realizing that the game against the Mosaic had to be won, Terry Stotts continued with his arrangements.
...
...
...
After entering April, on April 1, the league arranged 10 games.
Among the 10 games, the most eye-catching game is the Indiana Pacers vs. Portland Celtics.
The former beat the defending champion Miami Heat to the top of the Eastern Conference this year, making great progress.
The latter's progress this year is even more outrageous, not only ranking the top of the Western Conference, but also beating the Eastern and Western heroes. Since the beginning of the game, it has been the first in the league, and it has not come down for a long time.
Dominance is evident!
