NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 251 The day the players harvest

"The Trail Blazers have won two straight, and the third game of the series will be moved to the home of the Denver Devils on April 4!" - Portland Weekly
"Reproduce the double-double of 20+10 points and rebounds, Wang is the number one center!" - Bleacher

"117:93, the Nuggets trail behind 0:2 in the series!" - TNT
NBA official website: The Trail Blazers won the second series 117:93, and the Nuggets fell behind by a big score of 0:2.

After the big lead was reversed in the first game, George Karl wanted to use a fast-paced offense to overwhelm the Blazers' positional battle in the second game, but it proved to be ineffective.

The Trail Blazers ignored the Nuggets' fast break at all, and played steadily on their own, and the latter could only bite the bullet and go on.

Therefore, when Wang Zelin and Aldridge scored 5 blocks in the half, the Nuggets reduced the inside impact and turned to the outside shot, bringing an iron carnival to the Rose Garden Arena.

At the last moment, if it wasn't for Coach Tristos, he really couldn't bear to replace all the main players, and the point difference between the two teams might expand to 30 points.

At the same time, the country is also boiling. In the major basketball post bars and forums, headlines such as "Wang Zelin 20+10", "Trailblazers 2:0 in the first round"... etc. successfully dominate the rankings, and the search index remains high.

"Heizi have you seen it? This is called strength!"

"It's another 20+10 game, explaining what dominance is!"

"The best rookie is stable, is the best team still far away?"

"I said you guys are enough. I just played two games. Is it necessary to brag like that?"

"This is the quality of Wang Mi. Playing two good games is like winning a championship. Be careful to get off to a good start and end up poor."

"..."

This is one of the characteristics of the Tieba forum. No matter what the topic is, each party is on one side.

United States, Portland.

Wang Zelin is sweating profusely in the gym. He has gradually adapted to the intensity of the playoffs. This game is much easier than the first game.

But he still can't slack off. He will arrive at the Denver Plateau in a few days, which is his home field, and there will inevitably be a home whistle. He must be strong in order to go further in the playoffs.

So he decided that before the end of the playoffs, regardless of whether it was a traditional craft or a cross-border battle, he had to restrain himself.

At 9 o'clock this morning, Wang Zelin went downstairs, and the Queen Mother had already prepared breakfast.

"Zering, come and take a look, it's almost time to announce the players selected for the All-Rookie Team, come quickly!"

The Queen Mother grabbed Wang Zelin and said anxiously.

"Mom, don't worry, if your son and I can't be selected for the best rookie team, I'm afraid none of the rookies in this class will be eligible."

Having said that, Wang Zelin quickly came to the living room after picking up a fried egg and stuffing it into his mouth.

As the first round of the NBA playoffs is in full swing, the league has also begun to announce the major awards for this season's regular season.

After announcing the awards such as the best coach and best manager, the awards now announced are this year's best rookie first and second teams and the 12th best rookie.

Turning on the TV, someone from the NBA announced to the fans the list of the best rookie second team, namely Kyle Singler and Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons, Tyler Zeller of the Cavaliers, Yonas Valanciunas of the Raptors, and Mickakei of the Bobcats.

Bradley Beal of the Wizards, Harrison Barnes of the Warriors, Anthony Davis of the Hornets, and the twin stars Lillard and Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers were selected for the rookie team.

"The winner of the best rookie of the 12-13 season will be announced soon..."

Hearing this, countless fans sitting in front of the TV smiled knowingly. Before the award was announced, most of the fans had already determined who the award would belong to.

"He is... the young center Wang~Ze~Lin from the magical country of China, who was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the eighth overall pick in the 12th NBA draft!"

王泽林以场均22.7分12.5篮板3.1助攻1.9盖帽和0.2抢断的数据，击败同队的利拉德和状元郎安东尼戴维斯，赢得了今年的最佳新秀。

After the best rookie, the league announced the best sixth man. For the most powerful contender for this award, most people think it is JR Smith of the Knicks.

The fact is also the same. JR Smith averaged 18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game without quickly competing with most teams' starting shooting guards.

As possibly the most iconic nerve knife in NBA history, JR Smith in the collection is simply heaven and earth, like Joe.

People say "JR is not nervous, every day is an All-Star!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

A non-nervous JR, the talent is at the All-Star level after all.

In fact, he was actually selected for the All-Star Game, and just last year... at the CBA All-Star Weekend, and after joining the CBA during the lockout season last year, he left a miracle of 14 three-pointers in a single game and 60 points in three quarters.

cough cough.

In fact, what impressed Wang Zelin the most was the legendary Battle of 58...

December 2009, 4.

The Nuggets beat the Hornets by 4 points in Game 58 of the playoffs.

And the maker of the 58th point is JR Smith... In the last round of the Nuggets, JR hit a three-pointer, locking the point difference to 58.

Old Pao is in pain!
This year is JR's 9th year in the NBA. He seems to have stepped into the pinnacle of his career, truly interpreting to the world how terrifying a stable knife is.

After nearly ten years of ups and downs in the NBA, this nerve knife finally won the only commendable award in his career. The moment he held the trophy high, people suddenly realized that the eyes of this tough guy were already red.

The award, announced after the Sixth Man of the Year, is the Most Improved Player of the Season.

Seeing the players appearing on the screen, Wang Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly.

The new king of the Pacers, the slam dunk contest in the fluorescent suit, the reborn warrior with a broken leg——Paul George!
Of course, a broken leg is a matter of the future.

But I have to admit that due to Grant's injury, the Pacers established a lineup with pickled peppers as the core, and it also opened the curtain for three consecutive years of playoffs between the Pacers and the Heat.

The pickled peppers in the next few years are really top!
而他的年度最佳球员也非常实至名归，继11~12赛季的82场常规赛全部首发，场均贡献12.1分5.6篮板2.4个助攻1.6个抢断后，本赛季场均17.4分7.6个篮板4.1个助攻1.8个抢断，个人数据方方面面都有了不同程度的增长。

In his previous life, Wang Zelin mainly played a basketball game called 2K online. In the years when he played the most vigorously, the spokesperson happened to be Paul George, so he naturally had a certain liking for Paul George.

After several matches with the Pacers in the regular season, the two who saw each other exchanged numbers. Wang Zelin was still very happy with Paul George's award.

"George, congratulations! You are indeed the man who dares to wear the No. 24 jersey!"

"You're not bad, you won the best rookie."

tsk tsk!
Through the phone, Wang Zelin could feel that Paul George was picking lemons.

He just remembered that Paul George only started 19 games in his rookie season, most of the time he was on the bench, and he mainly did the hard work of the defensive champions. In the end, he scored 7:08 and 3.7 rebounds in a satisfactory manner. He was only selected to the All-Rookie Second Team.

It should be said that he is worthy of being a Mamba disciple, and it really has a tradition.

The same rookie playing off the bench, the same starting from defense, and... also didn't get the best rookie.

"I really envy you. You won the best progress award. Unlike me, I probably won't get it in this life!"

Although Paul George didn't know the word Versailles, he still felt strong malice from someone: "Dude, has anyone told you that sometimes you really owe it to..."

"Yes, but none of them can beat me."

"..."

For some reason, Paul George's originally happy mood suddenly became extremely bad after listening to Wang's words.

What does "I have no hope of winning the Most Improved Player award?"

What does "no one can beat me?"

He co-authored to win this award, and he got it wrong?
beep...

Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Wang Zelin blinked suspiciously.

What's the matter?

I think there is nothing wrong with what I said!
He has 22 points and 12 rebounds in his debut, and if he still wants to compete for the most improved player, unless he averages 30 points and 15 rebounds per game next season, there is still a possibility of losing.

Originally, this award was just a consolation prize. It's rare for me to be willing to comfort someone, so why not?
"It seems that the ideological awareness of the Midi people still needs to be improved, and I don't know when they will be able to achieve half of my outstanding youth, alas!"

Wang Zelin secretly thought.

After the appetizers, the league will finally announce a relatively important award-the best defensive team, or DPOY.

There is one thing to say, before Gobert, the best defensive player for three consecutive games, has not entered the league, the gold content of this award is quite high, and it has also been recognized by the majority of fans.

It is far from being reduced to what a certain bathroom basketball commentator said in the future, "The best defensive player of the year is just a small award, not as good as the best second team!"

Before the announcement of this award, many fans speculated that boxing champion Tyson Chandler, who built a defensive formation for the Knicks, could only achieve two consecutive games.

In terms of personal data, Tyson Chandler's blocked shots this year have declined, but the decline is limited, and the overall average score and rebounds per game are maintained at a double-double + 1 blocked shot.

The key is that the Knicks have held the second place in the Eastern Conference this season, soaring from 36 wins last year to 54 wins.

Tyson Chandler, as the defensive gate, absolutely contributed.

Although in Wang Zelin's impression, this year's best defensive player is given to Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies, but he feels that this time he is not sure.

The reason why Marc Gasol overwhelmed Tyson Chandler in his previous life to become the best defensive player who was only selected to the defensive second team was rare in history. Apart from the visual fatigue of the fans, it was inseparable from the Grizzlies' leap from 41 wins to 56 wins a year later.

Although it is only ranked fifth in the West, the Grizzlies' record is two more wins than the Knicks who are second in the East.

The dominance of the team's record has become the last bargaining chip to overwhelm the balance.

However, because the Trail Blazers stepped in, the record of the Grizzlies and the Knicks was 54 wins, so Wang Zelin estimated that the Grizzlies, no, it should be Marc Gasol who was going to be unlucky.

Sure enough, when the league finally announced the awards, Knicks fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Tyson Chandler became the third player in the 21st century to achieve DOPY consecutively after Ben Wallace and Howard.
