NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 1116 Countdown to the regular season, the battle for honor

(PS: I made a mistake in the last chapter, it should be the 1111th chapter, this chapter is the 1112th chapter)
In the Tencent studio.

"69 wins and 9 losses, the sword points to 70 wins!"

The moment the game ended, Yang Yi said with emotion.

"Yeah, just one win away, the Trail Blazers will be able to set an unprecedented great record-breaking 70 wins in the regular season for two consecutive seasons! That's 70 wins!!!"

Ke Fan beside him was full of shock in his eyes.

在开拓者和森林狼的赛季最后一次交手中，王泽林仅出战29分钟就交出了全场最高的36分和25个篮板，外加4次助攻、3记盖帽2次抢断的成绩单。

One step closer to averaging 20 plus rebounds per game this season!
The entire domestic basketball circle is discussing the same topic, that is, whether Wang Zelin can create the miracle of averaging 40+20 per game in the season!
You must know that Jordan scored the most points in the season that year, that is, he averaged just over 37 points per game. Since the merger of the NBA and the ABA, no one has been able to push the scoring average to 40 points per game.

Today, on the basis of Wang Zelin averaging 40 points per game, he also averages 20 rebounds per game...

The current network is too developed, and information spreads far faster than any previous era. Because of this, people can no longer hold back the shock in their hearts when they look at the heavy data on the screen, and vent their excitement at the moment frantically on major social media platforms.

Soon, some people began to list all kinds of records that Wang Zelin broke after entering the NBA on the Internet.

This is only his fifth season, how many records does he have to break before he stops?
You must know that Wang Zelin has only just made his debut for less than five years, but even some players who have been selected into the NBA Mingtang have not achieved the record he created!

There are those who are flattering and those who are demeaning.

Any superstar is often divided between fans and black fans.

Just as Wang Zelin was constantly breaking NBA records, many ancient fans jumped out one after another, because in the eyes of this group of people, Wang Zelin will never be as good as Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain Bill Russell, Magician and Big Bird.
, Watching Wang Zelin continue to achieve success is more uncomfortable than all the failures they have encountered in their lives.

Don't think that this kind of thing doesn't exist, there really is a kind of people in this world who can never see the good in others.

Therefore, the hopes of these people are all pinned on the Los Angeles Clippers.

Because the Trail Blazers' first opponent in the last 4 games of the countdown to the regular season is the Clippers Big Three who have just formed Rajon Rondo + Jimmy Butler + Blake Griffin.

Due to the poor record of the Clippers before the season, even if they formed the Big Three after the All-Stars and their combat effectiveness suddenly improved, it is still very difficult for the Clippers to catch up with the strong teams in the Wild West.

Up to now, the regular season has entered the countdown stage, and they are still in the 9th place in the Western Conference. In order to seize a place in the playoffs, the Clippers will definitely do their best in the remaining few games.

Even though everyone knows that the Blazers will win 70 wins, if the Blazers can win 70 games one game later, it will definitely be a celebration for the ancient players.

The Clippers have been sprinting very vigorously recently. Since the Jazz lost to the Trail Blazers, their regular season record has been tied with the Jazz. It was only because they were at a disadvantage in the first half of the season that they had to condescend to the ninth position.

If they can defeat the Blazers in the next game, it will not only greatly boost the morale of the Clippers, but also make them firm in their determination to hit the playoffs.

On the Trail Blazers side, Wang Zelin will naturally not be timid because of the fiery state of the Clippers' Big Three. On the contrary, he is also in an impassioned state at this time, and he does not want to miss the opportunity to make history.

……

And at the same time, Oracle Arena.

The Golden State Warriors host the Washington Wizards.

After the opening, Thompson and Curry each hit a three-pointer. The Warriors led 6-0.

Subsequently, Gortat succeeded in consecutive inside offenses, and the Wizards fell behind the Warriors 16:18 and entered a timeout.

After a timeout, Curry hit a three-pointer again, and Bill also responded with two three-pointers. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Wizards 35:30.

In the second quarter, Clark and Iguodala hit three-pointers, and the Warriors continued to widen the gap at 45:34.

In the second half of the second quarter, Bogdanovic hit a three-pointer, and the Wizards chased the score to 53:55. At the critical moment, Curry made two consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference widened again. Then Curry made two consecutive layups.

At halftime, the Warriors lead the Wizards 67:57.

Judging from the time of the first two quarters, the Wizards and a group of substitutes performed quite well, and they played so anxiously compared to the Warriors, which were obviously stronger than them, like thunder from the sky.

In a trance, Wizards fans seemed to see the hope of the team ending its losing streak.

However, what they didn't notice was the confident smile of Warriors coach Cole when he left the court, because Cole never regarded the Wizards as an opponent in his heart.

Leaving aside the west, the only players in the east that deserve his attention are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls.

The rest of the teams, in his opinion, are just for the prince to study with.

Came back from the intermission and entered the second half. The game progressed as Cole expected.

As soon as the third quarter came up, Thompson, who had only 7 points in the half, hit consecutive three-pointers, and Wizards general Porter scored 8 points in a row.

At 9 minutes and 09 seconds, Curry easily made a 45-degree three-pointer from the right side. This was his 300th three-pointer this season. This was the second time in his career that he made 300 three-pointers in a single season.

The entire Oracle Arena suddenly burst into cheers, which made the Wizards feel the deep pressure.

At 9 minutes and 43 seconds into this section, Thompson made another three-pointer and the Warriors led the Wizards 90:70.

Although Porter made a three-pointer and the Wizards once again narrowed the gap, Curry continued to perform well, contributing 12 points in the second half of this quarter.

After three quarters, Curry has scored 37 points and 8 assists, and the Warriors lead the Wizards 106:88.

The familiar Yong San Crazy!

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans in the Oracle Arena, the Splash Brothers set off a wave in the third quarter, directly killing the suspense of the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Wizards at home 139:115. While the Warriors continued their winning streak, they sent the Wizards to a three-game losing streak.

此役，库里三分球14投9中砍下42分外加8次助攻、汤普森23分、格林11分12篮板13次助攻、利文斯顿17分7篮板、大卫·韦斯特和麦基各得10分。

奇才这边，沃尔15分11次助攻、比尔20分5助攻、莫里斯和波特各得13分、博格达诺维奇20分。

Even though Durant was exempt from the game due to injury and the Warriors lost a general, in the face of absolute strength, the Wizards still cannot escape a loss.

After this game, the Warriors' record came to 64 wins and 14 losses. Although there is still a big gap from the Trail Blazers, judging from the current trend, it is basically impossible to overtake the Trail Blazers, but the record of 64 wins still brought a deep shock to the world.

You know, the Warriors have 4 games left, and they have been missing from mid-March to now. Durant is a general, otherwise their record is likely to be even better.

Now that the regular season is coming to an end, gradually the winners of various awards can be guessed.

For example, the scoring champion, rebounding champion and blocked shots champion are basically in Wang Zelin's pocket.

Wang Zelin is far ahead of others with an average of 40.3 points, 19.7 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game. There has never been any situation for him to lose these three honors.

There is also the assist king, who is basically determined to be the head star of the Mosaic team, James Harden.This season, Harden averaged 29.5 points, 11.2 assists and 8.1 rebounds per game. He is indeed the strongest combo player in history that countless fans will say in the future.

This is a man who can switch between scoring leader and assist leader at will!

Of course, the most concerned one is naturally the winner of the regular season MVP.

Now the biggest hope is naturally Wang Zelin. He is far ahead of all other opponents in terms of average data and team record, and he has been in the leading position since the beginning of the season until the end of the regular season.

Another favorable contender is Russell Westbrook. This season, Westbrook's average triple-double of 31+10+10 per game is also extremely against the sky. In addition, the single-core team led the team to the playoffs.

Not to mention, Lao Mi is really all about personal heroism here. Why does this season need statistics, feelings, and records... Well, the record has held him back a little, but this does not prevent him from ranking second in the MVP prediction list for a long time.

However, considering that Westbrook was overwhelmed by Wang Zelin in terms of statistics and team leadership in several regular season matches between the Trail Blazers and the Thunder, in the direct dialogue between the two, it was Wang Zelin who came to the end every time.

Your average triple-double for Westbrook is indeed terrifying, but you can't stand Wang Zelin's quadruple-double!
In the data omnipotence field that Westbrook is proud of, it was also crushed by Wang Zelin, which made Westbrook innately poked a bit when he competed with Wang Zelin for MVP.

There are many factors that need to be considered in the MVP selection. Statistics and records are of course important, and the matchups between the MVP favorites are also very worthy of reference.

Obviously, whether it is the former or the latter, Westbrook lost to Wang Zelin.

Therefore, regardless of Westbrook's miracle of averaging a triple-double in the season, he is still ranked in the top two of many authoritative media MVP prediction lists, but in the hearts of many media people and fans, Westbrook has already withdrawn from the MVP competition.

No way, whoever asked him to face Wang Zelin would be blown away by the latter, and he couldn't forcefully praise him as the MVP just because he broke into a triple-double, which is obviously unreasonable.

Don't forget, because of Wang Zelin's intervention in this time and space, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, the two super giants in active service, haven't won the MVP trophy yet.

In terms of strength, Curry and Durant are definitely above Westbrook. This is basically the consensus of the league.

Therefore, seeing Curry's continuous performance during Durant's absence, many media changed their minds and began to frantically build momentum for Curry to compete for the MVP.

In terms of record, the Warriors' 64 wins in the regular season are also amazing in the league.

In terms of strength, Curry has basically stabilized his position as the number one three-point shooter and number one point guard in active service, and his performance in the past few seasons has also been phenomenal. The three-point storm created by Curry and the Warriors has swept the league.

As long as Wang Zelin and the Blazers are brought down this season, Curry and the Warriors are bound to create their own era.

It has been proved in previous lives that the appearance of Curry, an epoch-making golfer, has personally created a small ball prosperity that is enough to be remembered by history!
In the era when the Warriors are rampant, the three-pointer has basically become a must-have routine for every team, and some magic ball teams regard it as the team's nirvana.

From the beginning of the regular season to the present, the media have been frantically advocating Westbrook's triple-double miracle, trying to break Wang Zelin's monopoly of the highest honor of the regular season MVP for 4 consecutive seasons.

As the countdown to the regular season entered, they had no choice but to find that Westbrook was really a bit muddy in front of Wang Zelin and couldn't support the wall, which made them feel like they couldn't hold on to it.

Of course, this is by no means to say that Westbrook is not strong, Westbrook is very strong, but Wang Zelin on the opposite side is even more perverted.

After realizing the fact that it was difficult to promote Westbrook, the media immediately turned their guns, abandoned Westbrook decisively, and began to favor Curry instead.

If one weapon doesn't work, then get another one.

There is also Harden. Harden's data this year is absolutely super god level. The bearded man in his peak period can get a quasi-triple double of 29+11+8 this season, no matter which aspect he is impeccable.

But the problem is that the position he is in now is a bit embarrassing.

论数据的炸裂程度，场均将近40+20的王泽林和场均30+10+10赛季三双的威少，基本稳稳压了他一头。

In terms of the height reached by leading the team, the Blazers have been talking about leading since the beginning of the season. The Warriors and Spurs are also stronger than Mosaic, and Harden suffered another loss.

These two points are still very troublesome. After all, the MVP competition in the regular season does not only depend on personal data, but the team's record is also very important.

If Harden led the Mosaic team to break through the demons a while ago, scoring 56 points in a single game and defeating the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin, I am afraid that not many people would put him in the discussion of the MVP competition.

In addition, Leonard of the Spurs, Thomas Jr. of the Celtics, Davis of the Bulls, and James of the Cavaliers also have a lot of enthusiasm in this honor battle during the countdown to the regular season.

But they all have their own shortcomings. Leonard's data level is not high enough, which is far behind Wang Zelin, Westbrook, and Harden.

As for Thomas Jr., Davis, and James, although the Celtics, Bulls, and Cavaliers led by these three brothers have basically formed a three-point pattern in the East, but looking at the league, when compared with the top teams in the West, they still seem to lack confidence.

Therefore, the four of them currently only have a certain degree of enthusiasm, and they do not have real competitiveness.
