NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 1166 12 to 0, four finalists
The day after the game, when Wang Zelin played an incredible game at Oracle Arena, the whole world fell into "Wang Zelin fever."

Even the big-name players were shocked by Wang Zelin's performance on the Western Conference Finals stage.

It's nothing unusual to occasionally perform well in the playoffs.

But scoring 50+ in two consecutive games is quite explosive!

After all, the intensity of the playoffs is not comparable to that of the regular season.What's more, the 50+ score in the second game was achieved in the away game, which further highlights Wang Zelin's dominance!

On this day, basketball fans all over the world went crazy.

Not only fans, but also many stars and retired celebrities found Wang Zelin's performance incredible.

Kobe, who was on vacation in Hawaii for fishing, posted a video on his social media of his second daughter Gianna rolling around on the floor with excitement after seeing Wang Zelin steal the game.

Seeing his lovely daughter cheering for other men, Black Mamba couldn't help but shed tears as an old father.

Not just Kobe, Shaq did it too!
Shark O'Neal also posted his dumbfounded funny expression on social media, and wrote: "My grandma and Wang can win the championship if they team up together!"

Chris Webber even said bluntly: "Wang Zelin has replaced Kobe and became the new king of the Western Conference Finals!"

Soon attentive fans discovered that Kobe had quietly removed Chris Webber...

How could such a grand occasion not include Michael Jordan's statement?

When faced with a reporter's question about "Is it possible for Wang Zelin to surpass the God of Basketball?" Jordan said calmly:
"People often talk about, who is the best basketball player of all time?"

"Stupid question!"

"You should figure out who is the best team ever! You know there are many options..."

As he spoke, Jordan suddenly stretched out his left hand, and reporters were surprised to find that it was already covered with rings.

Immediately afterwards, Jordan began to say something that would go down in history:
"Like, the '91 Chicago Bulls...sorry, show time!"

"The Chicago Bulls... won consecutive championships in 92!"

"The Chicago Bulls in 93...the first three consecutive championships!"

"The 97 Chicago Bulls...I won the championship even if I had a cold!"

"Chicago Bulls in 98...I didn't push anyone!"

Finally, Jordan suddenly stretched out his right hand, and reporters discovered that he still had a championship ring on his right index finger.

"But my favorite is the 96 Bulls team, which won 72 championships!"

Obviously, Jordan once again showed off his 6 championships.

The last time Jordan said this was when Wang Zelin won the championship last year. He was still some distance away from winning 6 championships.

But now...

Wang Zelin looked at Jordan on TV and couldn't help but get excited:

"Don't worry, Danzi. Soon, six championships will no longer be your bragging rights!"

……

……

The Western Conference Finals here are almost coming to an end, and over there in the East, the Boston Celtics are waiting so hard for their Eastern Conference Finals opponents that the flowers are almost drying up.

On the same night that the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors with a big score of 3-0, the seven-game series between the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers also ended.

Let's go back to last night at the United Center in Chicago.

At 11:22 pm, in Game 35 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, which lasted two hours and [-] minutes, the referee blew the final whistle.

At 123:109, the Bulls defeated the Cavaliers 4-3, winning the tiebreaker with a 14-point advantage and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Bulls and Cavaliers fought fiercely in this game, and the fourth quarter became the key to victory or defeat.

After the first three quarters, the score between the two sides was 81:79, with the Bulls only leading the Cavaliers by 2 points.

In the first 8 minutes of the last quarter, the two sides took the lead alternately, but there was still no winner.

Until the last 3 minutes and 53 seconds of the game, Wade hit a magical 3+1 against Irving on the outside, helping the Bulls expand their lead to 6 points. This tiebreaker finally ushered in its end. inflection point.

Perhaps because they were eager to chase points, the Cavaliers' next two attacks were very sloppy, their tactical coordination was not good, and they made two fatal mistakes.

The opponent gave it away like this, and the Bulls naturally accepted it with a smile, easily leading to two backhand counterattacks, including a 2+1 dunk by Davis under the basket.

In the blink of an eye, the Bulls' lead expanded to 11 points, and the situation reversed instantly.

Even though Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue called a timeout in time, and after returning from the timeout, he successfully arranged a three-point tactic for Irving and scored.

However, at this time, the Bulls' momentum has already been unleashed. Except for Robin Lopez, who has no three-point ability, the other players with three-point ability, from Rose and Wade on the outside to Gibson and Davis on the striker, are all on the outside. Cast away.

Confidence is the pinnacle!
For a time, the Bulls started to rain three-pointers on the offensive end. In the last minute, the Bulls almost sealed the victory in advance, widening the point difference to 1 points.

The Cavaliers didn't seem to want to give up. In the last minute, they still sent out three main players, Zhan Kaou, to fight.

However, Tyronn Lue's move is just a dying struggle.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost the tiebreaker by 14 points on the road and defeated Chicago.

After this battle, James' six-year rule in the Eastern Conference completely collapsed.

Since making the decision to join the Heat in the summer of 10, any team led by James will eventually break out of the Eastern Conference.

This is also the reason why so many people are optimistic about the Cavaliers winning before the battle begins.

Mainly because James' dominance of the Eastern Conference in the past six years has been too terrible, and the stars of other Eastern teams have fallen under the iron heel of James' leadership.

But tonight, as the Bulls led by the Big Three of Rose + Wade + Davis defeated the Cavaliers, the title "Zhan Badong" was completely swept into the trash heap of history.

In this game, James scored a triple-double, with 33 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, including the highest points and assists on the team.

但骑士队内线遇到天神下凡的戴维斯，全都被打懵。考辛斯只有13投4中拿到11分、TT9中3拿到7分……

Let's put it this way, except for James, the only normal person left on the Cavaliers tonight is Irving, who scored 27 points. The others count as one, and they are all 13.

Bulls here.

今晚罗斯打了35分钟，16投7中，扔了7个三分球就中了俩，不过最后两个都是在末节关键时刻投中的，外加5中5的罚球，拿到21分4板11助攻1抢断。

Wade, who led the Bulls to launch the charge at the critical moment, played 33 minutes tonight. The Flash's sword is still young, and he made 19 of 11 in the game. He was not good at three-pointers in the past and actually made 6 of 4 tonight...

It is true that I have been blessed by the Three Gods!
靠着6中4的三分，韦德拿到了全队第二高的26分，外加5篮板3助攻1盖帽和1抢断。

The best player is naturally Davis, who has the strongest overall strength in the team. Since his recovery, Davis' performance on the court has been obviously a level better than other Bulls players. He played 43 minutes tonight and played [-] minutes. First time in the team.

26投19中，其中三分球5中2，罚球12中9，戴维斯狂砍49分18板，外加8个盖帽！
It is no exaggeration to say that Davis made this much-anticipated tiebreaker the best masterpiece of his career so far!

The next day, Davis, who scored 49 points, 18 rebounds and 8 blocks in a single game, a super-large double-double, and Wang Zelin, who had just scored a super-large double-double with 55 points, 17 rebounds in the Oracle Arena, were ranked among the major social media in the United States. Top of the platform’s hot search list.

The topic of the 12th Peerless Twins, which had not been mentioned by many people in the past, was once again brought to the forefront.

Naturally, the alliance's contribution to this process is indispensable.

For a time, the topic about the Trail Blazers and Bulls finals preview became more and more popular on the Internet.

However, this angered the Boston Celtics, who had been enjoying success for a long time.

TNND, they were originally happy to sit back and watch the fight, wishing that the series between the Bulls and Cavaliers would last longer, so that it would be easier for the Celtics players to recharge their batteries.

As a result, I kept raising it, but found that I had turned into a melon rind!
After Davis scored 49+18+8 in a single game, the unscrupulous media immediately misjudged the Celtics.

Do you really think that we are melon rinds that can be rubbed at will?
Don't be kidding, we are the first team in the Eastern Conference to advance to the conference finals!

Under the guidance of the media, intentionally or unintentionally, the Celtics and Bulls started the Eastern Conference Finals without a fight. Now, it seemed that even the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers seem to be in a peaceful state.

After the third game of the Western Conference Finals, many media already labeled Wang Zelin in the news as: "NBA No. 21 in the 1st century", "Leader of the Era", and "New God of Basketball".

当大比分0比0勇士队翻盘可能性只存在于理论之中后，这一刻，刚满24岁的王泽林就已经坐稳了新世纪第二个10年NBANo.1的宝座！

But when he actually sat in this position, he was not so enthusiastic.

In today's league, veteran superstar Kobe Bryant is gradually getting older. Representatives of the Mesozoic generation, James and Durant, have lost to Wang Zelin year after year. The 09 generation represented by the 09 duo of Curry and Harden cannot escape the background. The fate of the board is that the players of his generation are not even qualified to compete with Wang Zelin. As for the new generation of players, they are the young ones among the young...

Unless Wang Zelin is defeated by the Bulls or Celtics in the finals, after he wins the fourth championship, his No. 1 position in the New Era League will basically be unshakable for a long time to come!
This is why the media has gradually turned its attention to the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals.Some media even brought up the old topic of "Twelve Peerless Twins" in the early years.

Just because Wang Zelin now seems to be alone in the alliance and seeking defeat!

There is really no one who can fight, life is as lonely as snow!

……

……

Time flew by and two days passed.

The Western Conference finals of the 2016~2017 season playoffs ended earlier than before.

On May 2017, 5, at 21:10 pm Los Angeles time, Game 30 of the Western Conference Finals, which lasted two and a half hours, finally ushered in the electronic buzzer that symbolized the end.

The process of this game was a bit surprising, but the result did not change. The Trail Blazers still had the last laugh.

The reason why it is surprising is that when the Warriors were facing the end of their rope, they actually played a game in which all members broke out. The three-point shot was like a cheat.

Even Big McGee hit a three-pointer from the outside!

In this game, the Splash Brothers and Durant scored 80 points together!
Among them, Durant scored more than 30 points for the fourth consecutive game, averaging as high as 32 points per game in the Western Conference Finals... However, it did not change his title as the leader of the group.

All members of the Warriors broke out, and the Trail Blazers were not far behind.

Wang Zelin turned into an all-around warrior tonight. While scoring a game-high 39 points, he also sent a game-high 15 assists, plus 20 rebounds and 5 blocks.

With 39+20+15 in a single game, Wang Zelin scored a super triple-double tonight!
In addition, Lillard scored 22 points, Jokic 20 points, Aldridge 17 points, plus Curry's 15 points on the bench, the Trail Blazers launched an 3-point run in the last 11 minutes of the game. 0 offensive completely ended the dream of Warriors fans!
When the final buzzer sounded, the Warriors' desperate struggle came to an end, and all their illusions were shattered at this moment.

"The game is over, or to be precise, the entire series is over! Just like the previous two seasons, the Blazers once again had the last laugh in the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years!"

"But what's different from the previous two seasons is that the Trail Blazers played particularly brutally in this year's Western Conference Finals! With a total score of 4-0, they defeated their opponents cleanly!"

"Let us congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers. They have been unstoppable in the playoffs. The total score in the three-round series is 4-0! 12:0 in the playoffs!"

"This also means that the Trail Blazers have successfully broken the 2001-11 playoff record held by the 0 Lakers! The Trail Blazers have become the new number one in history!!!"

At the end of the game, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith hugged each other, both excited for the historic moment in front of them.

After winning the game, Wang Zelin looked proudly at the surrounding auditorium, admiring the lost expressions of Warriors fans.

It feels so good to eliminate the home team on someone else's territory with your own hands!
After the series ended, only Curry and Thompson took the initiative to hug Wang Zelin, showing the sportsmanship of the home team.

As for Durant, he probably doesn’t want to see Wang Zelin’s face again throughout the summer.

The moment the game ended, the guy ran away and disappeared!

After watching Curry and Durant enter the player tunnel, Wang Zelin turned around and joined the celebrating team.

The war with the Warriors that lasted for a whole year once again ended with the Trail Blazers' victory!
Not long after, the Trail Blazers players held up the silver Western Conference Championship trophy in front of tens of thousands of envious Warriors fans at Oracle Arena!

This means that the Trail Blazers have reached the finals for four consecutive years!
After the awards were awarded, reporters handed the microphones to Wang Zelin one after another. They originally wanted to hear Wang Zelin's acceptance speech.

However, Wang Zelin, with just one sentence, made fans all over the world crazy.

"Chicago Bulls, don't let me down!"

Everyone instantly understood the meaning of Wang Zelin's painting. Among the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals, he seemed to be more optimistic about the Chicago Bulls.

No, rather than saying that he is optimistic about the Bulls, it is better to say that he is more looking forward to playing against Davis, the No. [-] pick in the same year, in the finals.
