NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

At the end of the game, Wang Zelin's final data was displayed on the big LED screen, which was 4×4 data of 38 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks, 5 assists and 1 steal.

"MVP! MVP!"

The fans at the scene shouted MVP, and the cheers continued.

The entire Madison Square Garden has completely turned its back on it.

Wang Zelin, who stood up from the bench, was already surrounded by his teammates, and then he started to take action.

Breaking free from the clutches of his teammates, when he saw the statistics on the LED, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gestured to the surrounding audience.

It's always said that he didn't pay too much attention to his stats tonight, and Coach Terry and his teammates didn't remind him, because when Matthews was injured, everyone tried their best to win.

This 30+ quasi-triple-double came suddenly, but this kind of feeling is not bad. If he really asked him to brush this triple-double, he would not be so motivated.

At the end of the game, players from both sides do a final handshake.

"congratulations!"

During the game, Anthony and Wang Zelin tried their best to pursue victory on the court, and they each had their own masters, but at the end of the game, they became friends again.

One thing to say, this guy Anthony looks like a gang leader on the surface, although he may really be... But only after contact, did he realize that the nickname "Melon" was not for nothing.

The reason why melon is sweet is not only because of the sweet smile on Anthony's face, but also because of his personality. He is loyal and easy to get along with.

Of course, the premise is that your strength has to be recognized by this guy.

This is a bit like the snake in Los Angeles.

In this game, Anthony had 29 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, second only to the 32nd point in the previous game, the second highest of the season, and the ending was all losses.

Therefore, when the two shook hands, Wang Zelin saw the bitter smile on Anthony's face.

"Take care of your injuries and look forward to playing against you who are in full condition next time."

When hugging Anthony, Wang Zelin said something.

Anthony nodded with a smile, this should be regarded as a small agreement between him and Wang Zhelin.

After the game, the Blazers players were not in a hurry to return to Portland. It was a rare trip to New York. How could they not go out and play?

This hi is hi in the middle of the night.

...

...

After the trip to New York, the Trail Blazers still have 4 consecutive away games to play.

Two days later, the Blazers came to Detroit, Sin City, against the Pistons.

After the 2008-09 season, the Pistons began a slow rebuilding journey that never came back. From the 2009-10 season to the present, the Pistons have not made the playoffs for five consecutive seasons, and they can't get along in the relatively weak East.

There are two reasons why this game still gets some attention.

First, with the Trail Blazers beating the Knicks to become a team with a 20-plus win streak and no losses so far, no matter who their opponent is, every game will be extremely rewarding. great exposure.

Secondly, it was a direct conversation between Andre Drummond, the leading center of the Pistons, and Wang Zelin, the league's top center.

To be honest, the coffee positions of the two have long been different.

The former has not even entered the All-Star team, while the latter has won all the top NBA honors, and this season is known as the top three players in active service.

The biggest reason why the dialogue between the two can attract attention is that there are too few high-quality insiders in the league. When Wang Zelin led the Blazers to win the championship last season, the "center fever" inevitably became hot again.

Drummond became the beneficiary.

Not to mention, Drummond can arouse heated discussions among certain fans because he has two brushes himself.

Drummond, who entered the league in the same year as Wang Zelin and Lillard, although the former two have long since left the same class of players for several streets, Drummond still burst out some light of his own, that is Extremely talented in rebounding.

In the second year of his career, Drummond has been able to get an average of 13+13 per game, especially 13.2 rebounds per game. Last season, he ranked third in the league after Wang Zelin and Jordan.

This season, his rebounding ability seems to have improved again. Currently, he can get 13.5 rebounds per game, which has surpassed Jordan's 13.3 and is second only to Wang Zelin's 13.8.

It's no wonder that the outside media and fans are discussing it one after another. In the past two years, the competition for the league's rebounding champion is almost catching up with the scoring champion.

It even reminded many fans of the fierce competition among the four major centers in the 1990s in rebounding, blocked shots, and even scoring.

At that time, the first thing some fans woke up every day was to check the update and changes of the league data king list.

No way, there were too many excellent insiders in that era. There were four major centers in the front, and then there were Tiehan Mourning, Mutombo, the African mountain, and others. It was an era of countless giants, and it was destined to be an unforgettable era.

Basketball is a game of giants after all, not to mention that the center is still the giant among the giants. Although the duel between the big men lacks the lightness and dashing of the outside linebackers, it is a bit more iron-clad and brave.

The confrontation and struggle between limbs is always so exciting.

For now, some people have really raised the topic of the new big four centers this season, and even several authoritative media such as ESPN, TNT, Sports Illustrated, etc. have also conducted a "active center ranking" poll for this, which has set off online. There was a wave of voting.

The one with the most votes is Wang Zelin, and even the rest of the players don't have as many votes as he alone, so the strength is there!

Behind him are DeMarcus Cousins, who just transferred to the Cavaliers, DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, Andre Drummond of the Pistons, Jokinoa of the Bulls, and the Grizzlies. The team's Marc Gasol, etc. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Oh yes, there is once the league's first center Dwight Howard.

Howard was still able to contribute 18+12 per game last season, and his overall performance was still the top five centers in the league. However, this season seems to be affected by back injuries, and various statistics have dropped again, and it has slipped to 15+10. Left and right, but he's still a top-10 center in the league.

In the end, Wang Zelin, Howard, Marc Gasol, and Cousins ​​became the so-called "four centers in the new era" in that online poll.

It is not surprising that Wang Zelin was selected. It can even be said that it is precisely because of him that this vote was born.

Howard was selected because the qualifications were there. Let's just put it this way, even if Howard chooses to retire in situ, with a series of brilliant honors he won during the Magic period, and the feat of leading his team to the finals with a single core, he will be a proper Hall of Fame in the future. Besides, his overall competitive strength has not completely declined to the level of a role player in the future.

Marc Gasol was able to get so many votes, on the one hand, because they have enough personal data, on the other hand, the Grizzlies have indeed been notoriously tough in the West in recent years, and no one wants to touch them in the playoffs. .

As for the last two?
