NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

As of March 1, the top three of the MVP rankings of major authoritative media are different, but the same person occupies the top spot.

ESPN: 1st Wang Zelin, 2nd James, 3rd Curry;

Sports Illustrated (SL): 1st place Wang Zelin, 2nd place Curry, 3rd place James;

Fox Television Network (FOX): 1st place Wang Zelin, 2nd place Curry, 3rd place James;

Grandstand (BR): 1st place Wang Zelin, 2nd place Curry, 3rd place Griffin;

CBS: No. 1 Wang Zelin...

Including the latest MVP rankings updated by the league, without exception, Wang Zelin all topped the list!

This season, Wang Zelin, who has played in 56 regular season games, averaged 31.6 points, 15.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.4 blocks and 0.6 steals, plus 1.9 turnovers and 3.2 fouls.

Due to the successive comebacks of Matthews, Aldridge and Batum, Wang Zhelin's average number of shots per game has dropped from January, and his average scoring has dropped from 32 points to 31 points per game, but this does not affect him. Continue to occupy the three lists of the regular season scoring champion, rebounding champion, and block king.

Looking back at history, he has tied with LeBron James in the 2009-2010 season and became the player with the most times of the month in a single season in history.

At the same time, he also became the first player in the history of all Western teams to win the best player of the month for 4 consecutive months!

It should be noted that there are still two months of journey until the end of this season. Judging from the current situation, the entire western region cannot pick out Wang Zelin's opponent at all. His legendary road has not stopped, and he will create the possibility of history. big!

Perhaps the team of Trailblazers is not invincible, but Wang Zelin, as one of them, is invincible.

On that night, TNT invited Wang Zelin to join the three live treasures of Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith for a talk show on Wang Zelin's historical moment of winning the best month in the Western Conference for four consecutive years.

In the show, Wang Zelin was invited by O'Neal, and the two performed a low-position one-on-one on the mini-court of the show. Together with Barkley's humorous commentary, they made the fans in front of the TV grin.

Finally, he and Kenny Smith, the only serious person among the three, analyzed the game trend of this year's playoffs and the future development trend of the league.

It should be said or not, the three of them are together, and the effect of the show is too outstanding.

Shaquille O'Neal and Barkley are responsible for making things happen, and the boring Kenny Smith is responsible for seriousness. The interaction between the three and the guests is tight and loose, which makes the ratings of tonight's show soar rapidly.

……

……

In March, the temperature began to gradually warm up.

At the same time, in addition to the hot and dry weather, there is also the hot season of the regular season.

March 2.

After the preparations in the morning, we rested. At 8 o'clock in the afternoon, the game between the Blazers and the Clippers started.

Griffin, who underwent surgery on his right elbow during the All-Star break, is expected to miss six weeks. The Clippers, currently 39-20, will not be optimistic about the upcoming schedule.

Some time ago, the Clippers management also hoped to get Stoudemire to supplement the team's internal strength, but later they were afraid of Stoudemire's 24 million contract and hidden dangers of injury, and this matter was over.

Don't look at the fact that the Clippers are now ranked in the top four in the Western Conference, but the competition for the Western Conference playoffs is notoriously fierce this season. If a team's core main force is injured, this team is likely to be in the second half of the schedule. fall behind.

Now the Mavericks, Thunder, Pelicans, and Suns are fighting for the eighth place in the Western Conference. The three are eager for someone to fall off the team, so they can come from behind.

In the face of the Clippers without Griffin, the Blazers have an obvious advantage.

However, in order to prevent injuries and be cautious, the Blazers also rested three players tonight.

Batum in the main lineup and Carter and Garnett in the rotation.

Without Griffin to help in the pick-and-roll, the pick-and-roll effect of Paul and Jordan is not good. The main reason is that Jordan's offensive ability becomes approximately 0 when he leaves the three-second zone. In this case, it is very difficult for Paul to get rid of the defense. .

After the first three quarters, at 72:69, the Blazers took a 3-point lead and entered the final quarter.

As soon as the final quarter came up, Paul made a three-point attack on the outside, and even hit two dollars. Fortunately, Griffin and Conley Terry also shot from the outside. Coupled with Wang Zelin's absolute **** on the inside, the Trail Blazers scored 28:24 in the final quarter.

Wang Zelin made 12 of 18 shots, including 8 of 11 free throws, scored 32 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and Aldridge's stable output of 19+6, as well as Lillard's 23 points, Connet Lee's final quarter With 9 points, the Blazers sunk the Clippers 100:93 and won 7 consecutive victories!

To be honest, the Clippers were still very good during the regular season. I just don’t know why. Whenever the playoffs are in, the Clippers always suffer from bad luck from time to time, either by hurting this or hurting that, so that they can’t. Break through the second round of the curse.

Fortunately, they still had the last laugh.

……

……

After getting a good start in March, the Trail Blazers' record came to 51 wins and 8 losses, and the next few games also played very smoothly.

From the 94:75 home victory over the out-of-state Mavericks on March 5, to the 23-41 away victory over the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference on March 13, from the last victory over the Lakers before the All-Star Game, until March, The Blazers have never been defeated, and have achieved an impressive 11-game winning streak!

The only regret during the period may be that when Wang Zelin played against the Timberwolves on the night of the 7th, Wang Zelin clocked in and got off work within three quarters. In the end, the single-game score was fixed at 26 points. The previous record of scoring more than 30+ points in 8 consecutive games was interrupted.

However, from the perspective of later, this game is like saving character. He scored a mere 26 points in the last game, and then returned to the home court to face the Mosaic team in the next game. Wang Zelin scored 40 points, 20 rebounds and 8 blocks. Wild performance with 5 assists and 2 steals.

Season three kills Mosaic!

Since then, the regular season match between the Trail Blazers and the Mosaic team this season has officially ended. If they want to meet next time, they will most likely have to wait until the playoffs.

In the three games against Mosaic, Wang Zelin averaged 45.3 points, 19.3 rebounds, 6 blocks, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Among them, he made 88 shots and hit 55 goals, with a terrifying 62.5% hit rate!

This also made all the fans believe once again that the Mosaic team once offended Wang Zelin, or would the latter go mad every time the Mosaic team went mad?

Mosaic generals: "My concubine is wronged!"

Of course, it doesn't matter what happened before.

Right now, considering that the Trail Blazers only lost 8 games in the regular season, theoretically, they still have the possibility of hitting the 1996 Bulls' record of 72 wins in the regular season.

After playing against the Pistons, Wang Zelin followed the team to Toronto the next morning.

Carter and Garnett went directly back to Portland. These two experienced veterans should appear on a bigger stage. They will often be on the rest list for the next regular journey.

After the playoffs, it is still the best time for them to shine.

Therefore, this time, the two will not play back-to-back on the road, and they will play again when they return to the home court on the 16th.

Coming to Toronto, as the largest city in the Maple Leaf Country, it is quite suitable for tourism.

If it weren't for the back-to-back at night, he would have had a good meal with Zaid Rozan and Lowry.

After an afternoon break, at 18:50, the Trail Blazers played back-to-back away games.

The Raptors, the King of the North, currently have a record of 39 wins and 26 losses, ranking fourth in the East, three games more than the Wizards behind them, and their top four positions are fairly solid.

However, after the Raptors management sent Gay away and completely righted DeRozan and Lowry as the core of the team, this season's performance is not inferior to last season's Raptors ambitions, far more than that.

During the All-Star period, they reached a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans and brought in Greg Stiensma, an undrafted player who played for the Celtics, Timberwolves and Pelicans for three years. .

This guy's career history is a pure bench player, but he has nothing else. The tonnage is definitely enough. He is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 128 kilograms.

This time, plan ahead, if it is not for the pioneers and knights, no one will believe it.

After all, the former has the league's first center, the latter has the league's second center, and both of them are proper heavy centers.

Tonight, the Raptors coaching staff decided the primary strategy as soon as they came up, that is to frantically double-team No. 36 of the Trail Blazers.

Not to mention, there are mistakes.

Although Wang Zelin sent many good passes after double-teaming, someone seemed to have added a cover to tonight's basket. Illard and Matthews were almost smashing the basket, making three-pointers. Not even 30%.

You must know that seven of the ten goals here were made under the premise of a large open space.

After three quarters, the Blazers trailed the Raptors by 14 points 65:79.

Entering the final quarter, Wang Zelin, who had realized it later, began to take over the ball and kept scoring at the basket.

But every time he gets the score close, the Raptors have a mid-range shooter wearing a No. 10 jersey, but he can always hit the mid-range at critical moments, helping the Raptors to beat the 3-5 points. The advantage is in his hand, and he will not let it go.

Wang Zelin, who scored 10 points in the final quarter, looked at DeRozan, who scored 8 points in the final quarter, and felt deeply helpless.

Is referral the charm and incomprehension of CIC?

He got another lesson tonight.

Thinking about it carefully, there are so many descendants of Kobe and Mamba in later generations, but DeRozan is the most similar one.

In particular, with his superb and experienced mid-range shooting skills, he was preparing for his second season with the Spurs. Under the training of the village husband, he actually achieved a career-high 52% mid-range shooting percentage, becoming one of the few players in the regular season. A swingman with an average of 20+5+5 per game!

With DeRozan's insistence, the Raptors' confidence has become more and more strong, and they want to double-kill the Trail Blazers in the regular season!

You know, tonight's opponent is the defending champion of the famous active Tianzi team!

This season, apart from the San Antonio Spurs, which has become a strong team in the Western Conference, no team has been able to double-kill the Trail Blazers in the regular season. If the Raptors can become the second active team...

Tsk tsk, thinking of this, from the management, to the coaching staff, to the players, the eyes of the entire Raptors team turned red, staring at the Blazers players like wolves.

Boil!

We really think we are the ones who started the dyeing workshop and give you some color, and forget who we are.

In the last two minutes of the last quarter, Wang Zelin scored 2+1 with one basket, rewriting the on-court score to 103:105. This was the first time the Trail Blazers had brought the point difference so close since entering the second half.

Danger! Danger!

DeRozan's heart instantly sounded the alarm. When he got to the frontcourt, he frantically moved to meet Lowry.

But at this time, Batum and Matthews all focused on DeRozan, thinking about locking him completely.

Time ticks by...

With 7 seconds left, Lowry, who made 2 of 10 shots in front and 0 of 4 from 3-pointers, made a sudden pull-up jumper with the help of Valanciunas' pick-and-roll cover from the outside and made a 3-pointer under everyone's astonished eyes. shot.

At this time, how dare he?

At such a time, shouldn't the ball be handed over to DeRozan for two points?

At this time, he...

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of passing through the net broke everyone's doubts, and slapped countless people who looked down on Lori.

It also includes Wang Zelin.

Damn, this little steel cannon...

Really tough!

He deserves to be a late bloomer and become a first-line guard in the Eastern Conference, with all-stars, championships, big contracts, everything.

Lori's key three-pointer not only conquered his teammates, but also conquered Wang Zelin as his opponent.

As for the fairy ball or something, the premise is that you have to dare to cast it, and don't throw bullshit?

People not only dared to vote, but also entered, and he couldn't help but refuse to accept it.

At 103:108, the Raptors regained a five-point lead.

On the next ball, the Blazers attacked.

Wang Zelin asked for the ball in a low position, and the sky hook hit steadily.

At critical moments, he is always trustworthy.

However, the morale of his teammates seemed to have lost 70 to 80% with Lowry's Yao Ming 3-pointer just now.

The Raptors attack.

In the short corner on the right wing, DeRozan singled with a ball frame. Batum took off early and was fouled by the opponent.

"Shh! Shh!"

Two clean free throws.

It can be regarded as setting the tone for the Raptors to win.

……

At 111:107, the Trail Blazers ended their 11-game winning streak, suspending the pace of winning 60.

DeRozan, who scored 13 points in the final quarter and a team-high 32 points, was named the best player of the game!

On the Blazers side, Wang Zelin scored 15 points in the final quarter and scored 39 points in the game. However, the hole buried in the first three quarters was too big. After a lot of struggle in the final quarter, he had to lose to the Raptors by 4 points on the road.

The 39 points in a single game but unable to lead the team to win is second only to the 38-liter loss against the Bucks on December 17.

The next day, unsurprisingly, Wang Zelin's 39+15 empty cut news appeared on the major hot searches.

It is true that the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin have performed too domineeringly this season.

After winning an 11-game winning streak not long ago, the Blazers became the only team to win two 10-game winning streaks in a single season, and they made a splash again.

Now that the losing streak is over, and every chance comes, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods jumped out.

Fortunately, the next day, a piece of explosive news overwhelmed the enthusiasm of all games in the NBA.

On March 15, 2015, the top 68 of the NBA Championship have been decided. These 68 teams will be divided into 4 divisions to chase each other and fight against each other.

67 games in 20 days, no matter heaven or hell, a player has only 4 times of all the joys and sorrows in his life, all of which are presented in this intensive March.

This is the so-called NCAA March Madness!

Among the top 68, the University of Kentucky, Villanova University, Duke University and William Consin University have become the top seeds in four divisions respectively.

Among them, the University of Kentucky, which won 34 wins and 0 in the regular season and lost an impressive record, was the most popular and directly became the top seed of the national championship!

It is worth mentioning that Aldridge's alma mater, the University of Texas, also entered the March Madness 68.

On the 15th, Aldridge sent an invitation to Wang Zelin to watch the game of his alma mater together.

In fact, it's not just Aldridge, every NBA player in their college years, there was a NCAA March Madness that shined.

University condenses the best youth in life, and for basketball-loving stars, March Madness is the most profound memory of their college days.

After receiving the invitation, Wang Zelin quickly agreed to Aldridge.

"LaMarcus, you haven't invited me in the past two seasons, why do you think of it this year?"

On the chartered flight back to Portland, Wang Zelin looked at Aldridge in confusion.

"Well..."

Unexpectedly, Aldridge's face suddenly turned shy.

After some further questioning, Aldridge hesitantly explained the reason.

It turns out that everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous.

Aldridge, who seems to be calm now, made an oath when he was young after finishing his college career and entering the NBA:

In the future, he must return to his alma mater, the University of Texas, with the supreme glory of the NBA championship.

Before, because he never won the championship, he was embarrassed to invite Wang Zelin to his alma mater to visit the competition.

It was not until he won the championship last season that he had this idea this season.

After understanding the ins and outs, Wang Zelin had a new proposal: ask Lillard to go with him.

But what he didn't expect, Aldridge had already contacted Lillard in advance.

In fact, if it wasn't for Lillard's Weber State University failing to make it to the March Madness 68 this year, he would also have the idea of ​​inviting Wang Zelin to watch the ball.

……

After Aldridge's wish was fulfilled, the Blazers' regular-season games continued.

Playing the Wizards on March 16, the Trail Blazers, who returned to home, swept away the slump in Toronto. Wang Zelin scored 32 points and 14 rebounds. Double gun.

On March 18th, in an away game against the Heat, Bosh scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. Wade lost to the Blazers 108:104.

The Heat suffered a three-game losing streak, with a record of 30 wins and 37 losses. There is still little hope for them to rank among the top eight in the East and grab a playoff spot.

In this game, Aldridge played the best.

He made 24 shots and 15 hits in the game, including 1 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 34 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block with a super high shooting rate of 62.5%.

Wang Zelin, incarnated as the best assistant, did not expect to have an unexpected harvest tonight. While scoring 22 points and 15 rebounds, he actually delivered a season-high 12 assists.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin, who only wanted to mix things up in this game, actually got his third triple-double of the season!

In this regard, it can only be said that "inadvertently inserting willows and willows to create shade."

Beating the Heat, the Trail Blazers' record came to 57 wins and 9 losses, just three games away from 60 wins.

But before that, there is an exciting game waiting for Wang Zelin.

Speaking of which, Wang Zelin, a Chinese player, has never felt the atmosphere of March Madness up close.

I hope this trip will not disappoint him.
