NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 245 The rebounding king is in hand, and the playoffs are coming

At halftime, the Warriors led the Trail Blazers by 56 points at 43:13.

"Wang just got 17 rebounds now, brothers, it seems that you are still not strong enough!"

While Mike Roberts was teasing, he couldn't hide his envy in his words.

If it weren't for his average three-pointer and inconvenient, the 4th position partnered with Wang Zelin would not be Luke Babbitt, but him.

11 points and 17 rebounds ~ the data handed over by Wang Zelin in this field.

Thanks to the strong support of teammates, all members made 51 of 17 shots in the first half. Not only did the number of shots far exceed the previous games, but the shooting percentage was just over 30%.

The Warriors made 47 of 21 shots in the half, with an overall shooting rate of 44%, including 13 of 6 three-pointers, and a shooting rate close to 5%.

"My lord, do you need a rest?"

Terry Stotts looked at Wang Zelin and asked softly.

The Blazers have the idea of ​​losing tonight. The playing time of Wang Zelin and Lillard is arranged by the two themselves. Asking this way is just superficial work.

"No, I won't feel at ease if I win the rebounding champion sooner!" Wang Zelin replied with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

When the game comes back, change sides and fight again.

"Give up, rookie, you don't have the life of a rebounder!"

BoGte babbled while holding his position.

"Tsk tsk tsk, oh, what's the matter with our Mr. Zhuangyuan? You only got one rebound at halftime, do you need me to give you one?" Wang Zelin immediately replied.

"What's wrong with one? Ah! Isn't a rebound a rebound?" BoGt screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Don't worry! Let's take our time, I promise, in the next matchup, you won't get any rebounds, any one!"

After putting on such a lineup, the Trail Blazers' perimeter defense was simply horrible, and the Warriors easily scored one.

"Stinky boy, you are finished!"

BoGt continued to shout loudly.

"Wait until you advance a ball in front of me." Wang Zelin smiled lightly and started to serve the bottom line.

"Damien, don't hesitate, just vote!"

"Ah."

Lillard nodded and pushed forward.

Tonight, the opposing side is not winning, and the Blazers No. 0 was sieved by himself in the first half. Although his defense is average, it is not so bad.

Curry knows this well.

Therefore, facing Lillard's pretense, pretending to be shaken away, he took a big step back.

"..."

Oh my god, look at the acting, it's abysmal!

Lillard thought to himself, and then shot directly, it was short.

"Backboard!"

BoGte yelled a circle inside, trying to call David Lee over and flank Wang Zelin with himself, but David Lee was entangled by Luke Babbitt.

There was no way, BoGt had to take off by himself and was about to reach the highest point, but at this moment, another person jumped up.

This person is Wang Zelin!

BoGte's body and Wang Zelin's body collided in the air, and the former's body tilted slightly, which happened to give Wang Zelin a great opportunity.

I saw Wang Zelin stretch out his arm and grab the basketball firmly in his hand.

"it is mine!"

Wang Zelin yelled, the sound was like thunder, and the sound was so sharp that it made BoGt's ears ring.

As soon as he landed, Wang Zelin hugged the rebound into his arms. Facing the interference from BoGt, he didn't choose to shoot, but threw the ball to the outside again.

Alexander Pavlovich.

The Wannian backup small forward, because of the special nature of the game, tonight's playing time broke through a quarter for the first time, reaching 15 minutes.

Alexander Pavlovich, who was in a wide open space, wanted to throw the ball in, but he thought of what his teammates said, so he broke down in tears.

Duang~

The most annoying voice in the past is really so pleasant to hear now, Wang Zelin roared, jumped up again, took the rebound into his arms, and quickly passed it back to Lillard.

His shooting ability is much better than that of Alexander, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball in his hand has been thrown.

"Shh!"

58: 46.

"em..." Lillard smiled awkwardly at Wang Lin: "It was muscle memory just now, and I didn't think about it."

"fine!"

Wang Zelin smiled slightly and said nothing more.

19 rebounds, no matter how much Lillard can shoot, no matter how much the Warriors Splash Brothers can score, they can't stop him from competing for the rebounding champion.

……

In an attack just 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, after Will Barton cut in and got a block from BoGt, Wang Zelin immediately grabbed the offensive rebound, and then jumped directly to the basket to hang the basket.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!!"

"Wang did it! 24th rebound! He finally got his 24th rebound!"

On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley embraced excitedly, because Wang Zelin's statistics had already been released on the big screen...

17 points, 24 rebounds, 1 blocks and 2 assists!

The audience suddenly burst into jubilation, and a large number of fans stood up spontaneously, shouting Wang Zelin's name.

"Wang! Wang! W..."

beep beep~

The Warriors didn't score in the next attack, and after Wang Zelin saved the backcourt rebound, coach Terry Stotts called a timeout.

25 rebounds!
In front of tens of thousands of spectators, Wang Zelin held the basketball in both hands, kissed it lightly, and returned to the bench amidst the cheers of the fans.

If nothing else, 17 points, 25 rebounds, 1 block and 2 assists will be Wang Zelin's final score.

Sure enough, for the next 10 minutes, Wang Zelin did not play again. The Trail Blazers lost the regular season finale at 91:109 at home. With a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, they advanced to the playoffs after a year's absence.

The posts on major domestic forums are about to explode.

"The game is over, did the king win the rebounding title?"

Some fans left a message in the post bar asking.

"Quickly, I'm already doing the calculations, and it must be accurate to two decimal places!" Soon a great master stood up and replied.

About 2 minutes later, Dashen released the data comparison of the final version:

德怀特霍华德赛季出场次数为76、场均时间为35.8分钟、进攻总篮板251个、防守总篮板647个、赛季总篮板为948个，场均篮板12.47个……

王泽林赛季出场市数为76、场均时间为32分钟、进攻总篮板320个、防守总篮板630个，赛季总篮板为950个，场均篮板12.5个！
The final result was finally announced: Wang Zelin succeeded in winning the regular season rebounding title with a very slight advantage of 0.03 rebounds.

For a time, the domestic basketball forums were completely boiling, and major official media and self-media, large and small, poured in frantically, scrambling to convey the good news first.

"(Fire Fist) Ace posted a congratulatory message: Congratulations to Wang Zelin for picking up an NBA rebound!"

"Congratulatory message from Madou Bar: The first rebounding king of the yellow race is born! He is Wang~Ze~Lin!"

"The king is mighty!!!"

"The king is mighty!!!"

"The king is mighty!!!"

……

Not only the basketball post bar forum, other post bars also sent a large number of congratulatory posts, overwhelming and sweeping the Internet.

The fans of the Portland Trail Blazers in the United States were also overjoyed. They frantically reposted messages in the fan forum to express their inner joy and excitement.

On the night of the 18th, when the game between the Celtics and the Knicks ended, it also meant the end of the 2012-2013 NBA regular season. The NBA official website immediately updated the data notifications of the major lists.

Among them, the top names on the two lists of the total number of blocks in the regular season and the number of blocks per game have changed from Dwight Howard to Wang Zelin.

"The birth of the first Asian men's volleyball champion! We should adhere to the path of NBA internationalization and never waver!" - NBA official
"The Unprecedented Shot Blocking King Is Born!" - The New York Times

"The Celestial King defeated Warcraft and won the rebounding title. He is the best big man!" - Bleacher

"Remember his name, his name is Wang~Ze~Lin!" - TNT
"A victory for the international players!" - ESPN
There are those who sing red faces, and naturally there are also those who sing bad faces. For example, Dwight Howard, in an interview on the 19th, said sullenly: "The boy from China barely beat me with the help of the entire team. He is too despicable! The rebounding king It should be mine, mine!"

Not long after, Shaquille O'Neal, the famous Lakers star and 50th superstar, tweeted: "The real strong never make any excuses! Just like when someone scored 70 points back then, I didn't deliberately say anything."

……

At the celebration banquet after the game, Paul Allen, the owner of the local tycoon, was very playful and gave out a lot of bonuses on the spot.

In the NBA, this is the norm.

When the team enters the playoffs, the team management will send part of the bonus to the coaching staff, players in the training room and others as encouragement; moreover, there will be additional bonuses for each additional round scored.

After the bonus was distributed, Paul Allen bluntly said: "Tonight's consumption will be paid by him!"

Everyone had a great time, especially Terry Stotts, who was poured down by the players together. When he woke up the next day, he didn't even think about how he went home.

Wang Zelin is also very high, the rebounding king!The first heavyweight award in his career can be regarded as his hand.

Then I looked at the red envelope in my pocket, 5W, or a rice knife... Such a boss, please give me another dozen!
After the celebration banquet was over, Wang Zelin and his party came to the parking lot. It was only 11 o'clock, and the real nightlife had just begun. Wang Zelin couldn't help shouting: "Brothers, you can choose where to go tonight!"

Wang Zelin didn't drink, but the others more or less did. Batum followed suit and yelled: "Old place, let's go!"

Immediately, there was a strange roar from the parking lot, which startled the driver who had just arrived at the parking lot.

This is how much to drink!
Forget it, someone paid for it anyway.

……

The next day.

The pots and pans at home rang all morning, and a hearty lunch was ready.

"That's great! Zelin, let's see who can take the picture. Who took the picture? My son looks so handsome! Old Wang, come and have a look, our son is in the newspaper again..." The Queen Mother picked up the newspaper and said cheerfully.

"I won't watch it, you too, I don't know how many times I've watched it, and I still don't get tired of it!"

Father Wang immediately waved his hand and said.

"I'm talking about you, how do you become your father? You don't care about what Zelin has done, really!" The Queen Mother put away the newspaper and complained daily.

"Okay, mom, the playoffs are coming soon, and your son will definitely be in the newspaper every day, you, take your time and eat first!"

The long 82 games of the regular season are finally over. Looking at the table in front of him, Wang Zelin decided to let himself go and make a good meal today.

"All right, all right, my son is the best! I will keep all the newspapers you published for you. When will I hold my grandson so that he can read it."

"..."

Alas, why bring up the grandson again.

……

On the 19th, I played with my parents for a day, and on the 20th, Wang Zelin returned to the team to report.

Rose Garden Stadium.

"The matchup list for the playoffs is out, everyone should have read it, right?"

Coach Christos stood in the middle of the training field, looking at all the players in front of him with great pride.

Signing with the Portland Trail Blazers was definitely the most correct thing he did in his coaching career. This is just the first year, and the team has won 1 wins, the fourth in the Western Conference and the fifth in the league.

At this time, Terry Stotts began to regret why he only signed a two-year contract with team owner Paul Allen.

It's a pity that the hardest thing for people to buy is to know early.

"I know the coach!"

The players responded one after another.

"That's good!"

Hearing the voice in front of him, Terry Stotts came back to his senses and regained his mood.

"Don't look at the fact that we played 3:1 with the Denver Nuggets in the regular season, but the West is different from the East. It is also sixth. The Nuggets and the Eagles in the East have a gap of 6 wins. Even compared with us, they have at least two wins.

So, even if we won three games against them in the regular season, everyone must not take it lightly, and must prepare for the game with all their strength, understand? "

During the pre-match training session, Tristetz's face was quite serious, which made Batum and Matthews quickly put away their hippie smiles.

For the Trail Blazers, being able to enter the playoffs in the top four in the upper half means that they are the first to have home court advantage.

Most of the players in the Trail Blazers are young people. It is a good thing to be full of passion at all times, but their state is also prone to violent fluctuations, so Terry Stotts is determined to win the home game.

After all, the Denver Nuggets' Pepsi Center Arena is known as the devil's home stadium, and it's not for nothing. Wang Zelin's rookies suffered a disaster when they first arrived, and the state they played in was called a sluggish state.

Although the request of many Trail Blazers fans is to let the players perform their own performance in the playoffs, but if they say that they have no deeper requirements, no one will believe it.

Whether Wang Zelin and others or Terry Stotts are young people in their positions, the "first round" and "second round" of the playoffs have different meanings to them.

If he can lead the team to the second round, it will be more convenient for Terry Stotts to apply for an early contract extension with Paul Allen next season.

Facing such a young team with unlimited potential, there are definitely many veteran coaches in the league who are willing to coach. Therefore, in order to keep his job, the pressure on him has always been great!
