NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

After establishing a united front and clear goals, the next step is to decide.

From the 22nd to the end of the month, the Blazers have 5 games left in March, including a back-to-back road game.

To be honest, the schedule was not easy.

After these 5 games, entering April, there are still 9 games waiting for them.

Among the accumulated 14 games, there are many teams that are fully capable of playoffs such as the Warriors, Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Pelicans, Thunder, and Mavericks.

For example, in the next game, their opponent is the Golden State Warriors.

But the game against the Warriors is crucial, because they are the team most likely to catch up with the Blazers in the league right now.

Since entering March, the Warriors have achieved a total of 10 wins and 2 losses, and the record has reached 55 wins and 13 losses, but they are only 3 games behind the Blazers.

In terms of threat, the warriors are the first, and no one dares to say the second.

Therefore, even though Wang Zelin is tired now, he still has to do his best against the Warriors, which is not only related to the record ranking, but also affects the regular season MVP battle.

Moreover, once the two sides play against each other in the playoffs in the future, the side with the higher regular season winning rate will naturally have the advantage.

For top teams, sometimes even a half-point advantage is enough to be a key factor in changing the balance.

To be honest, in the absence of an eye-opener, the Warriors are definitely a super dark horse that disrupted everyone's plans this season.

At the beginning of the season, it was only black for a while. No one thought that they would be able to black out all the way to the end of the season.

If it weren't for Wang Zelin's superiority in both team records and personal data, I'm afraid Curry would be the best choice for this season's regular season MVP!

It's a pity that both the king and the library are born.

However, this does not mean that Wang Zelin can stabilize Diaoyutai.

As a foreign player, he can win an MVP trophy. In the eyes of many conservative media experts, it is already a godsend. If he wants to defend his title, he must be ahead of the major competitors in all directions.

Therefore, the first place in the regular season must never be given to the Warriors. He must use an absolute crushing advantage to defend the MVP!

…

There are still two days before the fight against the Warriors on the 24th. Wang Zelin and his teammates seized the time to rest in preparation for a strong enemy.

But these two days, the media has not been idle.

It can be said that some fans and media are looking forward to it, expecting the Blazers to break the Bulls' record of 96 wins; but more people are actually expecting the Blazers to lose.

After all, there is only one championship, and no matter how many fans the Blazers have, they can't outnumber the other 39 leagues.

With the Blazers being double-killed by the Grizzlies, a heated discussion quickly sparked discussions among countless fans.

The one who jumped out was ESPN expert Henry Abbott. He caught Wang Zelin's performance in the past three games, with 22 points in one game, 23 points in the game and 27 points in the game, and started all kinds of "Wang Zelin can't do it", "this is the case". The so-called terrifying endurance?" And the most outrageous is this paragraph:

"It turns out that Wang Zelin is a system player. Look at the last game against the Grizzlies. Once LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard have one person who did not score 20+, in the Grizzlies' game In front of the iron barrel, he completely lost his ability to score, and finally only scored 27 points..."

In fact, the first time Henry Abbott's remarks came out, many colleagues wondered, is that guy black king Zelin or blowing king Zelin?

What does it mean to only get 27 points?

You know, Westbrook, who now ranks second in the league in points per game, averaged only 27.2 points per game, and the king scored 27 points, is that very low?

Yes, compared to Wang Zelin's 30+, 40+, and even 50+ consecutive times before, it is indeed a decline, but this has to be viewed in the context of the entire league.

It's really mind-boggling to watch!

…

Time came to the 24th, the last stop of the 4 consecutive games, the Trail Blazers came to Oakland, Golden State.

At the pre-match press conference, when Wang Zelin was asked about this hot topic, he did not express his thoughts. Instead, he sincerely suggested in front of the media:

"Mr. Henry Abbott, I think you can try to enter the comedy world. Really, please believe me, you are very talented in this area!"

Amid the laughter in the hall, this episode also came to an end, and everyone's attention returned to tonight's game. above.

To be precise, it was cast on the Golden State Warriors.

In the days when the Blazers were resting, the Warriors just played another game at home yesterday, and finally 107:76, effortlessly destroyed the Washington Double Guns that came from afar.

In that game, Bradley Beal scored a game-high 12 points, Wall could only score 11 points, and then Kevin Seraphin and Ramon Sessions on the bench scored 12 points each. .

And then, in fact, no player has ever scored in double figures.

To talk about tonight's biggest undercover agent, the Wizards star Wall was the first to be called. He made 4 of 16 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers. He almost smashed the basket at Oracle Arena.

On the Warriors side, Stephen Curry was still playing steadily. He made 8 of 14 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 24 points, plus 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

The second-highest scorer was Iguodala off the bench, who made 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 5 from 3-pointers, and had 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

And Draymond Green with 13 points, Klay Thompson with 12 points, and Marsley Speights with 11 points.

A total of 6 Warriors scored in double figures!

After winning the Wizards, the Warriors' record also became 56 wins and 13 losses, sitting firmly in the second place in the Western Conference and the second in the league.

The Trail Blazers, who are ahead of them with 58 wins and 10 losses in the league, don't seem to be far away.

The dominance of the Portland Corps seems to be swaying in the wind and is in jeopardy.

With more than half a month left before the regular season ends, the Trail Blazers, who suffered from away torment in the last game against the Grizzlies, were in a weak state. The Golden State Warriors, who were eyeing them behind them, seemed to have half footed on the No. 1 team in the West. on the throne.

At the press conference, a reporter asked Wang Zelin a question:

"The Golden State Warriors have won 6 straight games and are getting closer to the No. 1 spot in the league. But now, the situation seems to be against the Blazers, and you still think that the champions can keep the throne of No. 1 in the league until the end of the success. ?"

After hearing this question, Wang Zelin's eyes changed. His face suddenly changed from clear to cloudy, and he stared at everyone very seriously:

"As long as I haven't fallen, the Warriors will never try to climb up. Tonight, the Blazers will step over the Warriors' bodies and move on!"

David Vanderpool turned his head and glanced at Wang Zelin next to him. The guy's eyes were so murderous that he didn't dare to look directly at him.

In the last ten or so games, the competition for the first place in the regular season will be fiercer than ever before!

…

"Wang, if you are tired, don't force yourself. You are our guarantee for the playoffs."

After the press conference was over, Wang Zelin quickly returned to the locker room. At this time, De Pur, who was following behind him, couldn't help shouting.

"Huh? Reluctantly... Haha David, you underestimate me too much, don't worry, we will win tonight!" Wang Zelin turned his head and squeezed a confident smile towards Vanderpool.

"But…"

Vanderpool knew that Wang Zelin was a competitive man, and he would not let the Warriors succeed easily, but just as he was halfway through, Wang Zelin held his shoulder.

"David, take it easy, I know it. Not only will I win the regular season well, but I will still be strong in the playoffs! You know, my goal has always been to make the Blazers the fourth dynasty in history. Team, I won't go down easily until a dynasty is established."

Patting Vanderpool on the shoulder, Wang Zelin immediately returned to the locker room.

ah~

Seeing the figure walking away, Vanderpool sighed.

He knew very well that at some point, Wang Zelin was as paranoid as Kobe, and once he identified something, no one could change his mind.

Actually, think about it carefully, many great superstars in history once had their paranoid side.

At this time, Wang Zelin is walking on a road that leads to greatness.

Vanderpool couldn't help but lit a cigarette, despite the bright no-smoking sign behind him...

A few minutes later, he snuffed out the cigarette **** and walked into the office where the coaching staff was.

Is it really so easy to win the three consecutive championships?

He didn't know, but... the number one in the league, he knew that Wang Zelin definitely didn't want to disappoint all the fans who supported him.

Today, as the core and soul of the team, Wang Zelin's will basically represents the will of the entire Trail Blazers - either greatness or death!

Obviously, he has made a choice.

…

At the end of the day's preparations, at 18:30 in the evening, Wang Zelin and his teammates stepped into the Oracle Arena.

Looking at the opposing lineup, Wang Zelin felt that it was not unreasonable for the Cavaliers to perform like this this season.

Curry and Thompson form a terrifying firepower coverage; Draymond Green can both defend and organize, and his current three-point sight has not been completely lost; the flank Barnes is also a hard-boiled style on the defensive end tough character.

The sixth man also has Iguodala.

It seems that this guy is gradually withdrawing from the Warriors' starting lineup, but his strength is definitely above most players at the same position in the league.

The players from both sides warmed up.

Before the game, Curry played his repertoire at home.

I saw Curry, under the watchful eye, from the player tunnel 20 meters away from the basket, threw a three-pointer from a long distance.

It has become Curry's habitual performance before the start of each game to shoot too far from the tunnel before the game. And with the Warriors' record rising this season, Curry's habit is also well known to more fans.

Before the earliest, this habit stemmed from a bet between him and the team's deputy general manager, San Cross. At that time, the two people made a bet: If Curry can hit a three-pointer in the tunnel, then he will treat Curry to a feast; Not in, otherwise.

In order to win the bet, Curry found time to practice his shooting skills in the player tunnel, and finally reached the state of almost every shot today.

Swish!

With Curry's long-range hit, the entire Oracle Arena was boiling.

I don’t know since when, Warriors fans are almost obsessed with believing that as long as Curry can hit the opening ultra-long three-pointer, it means that he feels overwhelming today, and the Warriors can win no matter what strong enemy they face next. next game.

Today, Curry did it again.

The Warriors players who were warming up on the court were also full of smiles. It could be seen that they were extremely confident and did not put the murderous Wang Zelin and the Blazers in their eyes before the game.

For fans, this is a day worth celebrating forever, because as long as the Blazers are defeated, then they have been chasing the first place in the regular season for a whole season, and it will no longer be an extravagant hope, but it is very likely to become a reality. .

The game has not yet started, but the Warriors fans are extremely confident that the Blazers, who have just lost to the Grizzlies a few days ago and have experienced three exhausted away games recently, will definitely fall here tonight.

Gui, the defending champion, was double-killed by a mere grizzly bear?

The Warriors have also played two games with the Grizzlies before, one 105:98 and the other 100:93, and they have both defeated the Grizzlies in the previous two games.

This is what a top team deserves to be like!

Instead of being like a coward who only knows how to bark before the game, thinking that he will show his toughness.

"The defending NBA champion, at this level, can't even beat the Grizzlies!"

"Look, Stephen will definitely kill tonight!"

"Stephen is the real MVP!"

At this point, the Warriors fans had long forgotten the fear of being beaten by the Blazers 106:89 by 17 points at the beginning of the season, and they booed the Blazers players all kinds of times as soon as they came up.

not only that.

Wang Zelin's speech before the game also made the Warriors players grit their teeth with anger.

After the warm-up, go back to the rest area.

Drummond grinned and said: "Wang Zelin is so arrogant and irritating! We are one of the best teams this season, didn't they just win two more games than us? Damn, does he really think we're the same as we were at the beginning of the season?"

Klay Thompson, who was on the side, also saw Wang Zelin's remarks on his mobile phone. He was always good-tempered and couldn't help but complain: "That's right, Wang also doesn't respect his opponents too much!"

"Hey, then let's have a good fight with them tonight. Didn't we lose 17 points last time, and this time we'll let them spit it out!"

Green clenched his fists, his face full of confidence.

"Okay, brothers, don't be so mad. Staying calm and focused can really help us win this game!"

Curry smiled and ended the brief conversation between the two teammates.

Even though Curry has always been an optimist, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to win or be the best in the league!

In fact, in his heart, why not long for the championship?

After graduating from high school, there was no famous school to provide scholarships, and when entering and leaving the league, he was often criticized for being thin, glassy, ​​and so on.

Along the way, Curry remembers all the disapproval and cynicism!

Now comes a chance to prove himself and the team's strength by defeating the defending champion Blazers, and he won't let it go easily.

Today, let him see who stepped over whose corpse!
