"38 15! Wang Zelin's big double-double helps the Trail Blazers reject their losing streak!"
"Mosaic VS Jazz, James Harden scored 37 points and unfortunately lost, but he is constantly challenging the position of the league's No. 1 shooting guard!"
"Spurs vs. Hawks, Tim Duncan scored 23 points, 21 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal... You call this 37 years old?"
"With 43 points, it's still hard to beat the Thunder's two young players. Paul George may become the first leader of the empty-cut group in December!"
…
There are a total of 6 games between December 3rd and 3rd. Except for the Magic vs. Wizards in the Eastern Conference, which is a rivalry between rookies, the other 5 games: Pelicans vs. Bulls, Hawks vs. Spurs, Mosaic vs. Jazz, and Trail Blazers vs. Mavericks.
There is something remarkable about it, and it has received a lot of attention from fans and the media.
When he woke up the next day, Wang Zelin thought that his dominance of the headlines would be settled, but he was shocked when he saw it.
As soon as I came up, I saw that Duncan's old monster double 20 data was widely circulated on the Internet. He was obviously 37, but he still refused to leave a way for young people to survive.
Then there were George's 43 points and Harden's 37 points in succession... I never expected that in just one day, the leader and deputy leader of the empty score group would be so fresh.
But really speaking, Dewey is really fierce. Against a strong defensive team like the Pacers, Durant was able to make 14 of 23 shots and score 36 points, 10 rebounds and 5 rebounds with a shooting rate of over 60%.
Assist data.
And Westbrook is not bad either, making 11 of 17 shots from the field. Although 1 of 6 three-pointers and a 16.7% shooting rate are a bit eye-catching, he can tear the Pacers' defense to shreds just by breaking through.
Efficiently scoring a near-triple-double with 26 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds.
Looking at it this way, even without the help of Kafeng Adams, the day when Westbrook's sewer soul awakens is not far away.
If this momentum continues, no matter how hard Durant plays, he won't be able to hold it back!
After defeating the Pacers at home, Dewey led the Thunder to an 8-game winning streak, and since their opponent was the Pacers, currently ranked first in the league, they had real leverage.
Therefore, in the latest regular season MVP rankings released by ESPN official media, Durant topped the list for the first time in the new season. The second place was none other than Wang Zelin, who had dominated the rankings for less than half a month.
The third one is Heat star LeBron James.
It's a pity to say that before December 2, James had just led the Heat to a 10-game winning streak and was about to overtake Wang Zelin and return to the top of the list. However, on the night of the 2nd, when they played the Pistons, who were seventh in the Eastern Conference, the score was 97.
:107 lost to the Pistons by 10 points...
Only four players from the Heat scored in double figures, including James with 23 points, Bosh with 14 points, and Michael Beasley with 23 points and Ray Allen with 12 points on the bench.
However, the Heat's defense was very poor tonight. All five players from the opposing Volcanoes scored in double figures. In addition, Kyle Singler and Rodney Stuckey in the rotation also scored in double figures. A total of seven players from the team scored in double figures.
Double figures!
Although no one scored 20 points, the Pistons really played to the limit of a civilian team tonight and played team basketball. Everyone was on the team, everyone could score, and finally defeated the Heat.
As we all know, in the history of the NBA, there has only been one situation where the player won the regular season MVP three times in a row. That person was Larry Bird, one of the great black and white duo of the last century.
Looking at history, this is the only example!
Since then, it has been almost impossible for a player to be like Larry Bird and win the regular season MVP for three consecutive years.
It can be said that the league did this deliberately. The senior management did not want to see such a situation of being single, which is not conducive to the diversified promotion of the NBA; it can also be said that the fans and the media have developed aesthetic fatigue...
In any case, the above is destined to mean that if James wants to win the fifth regular season MVP in his career, his competitiveness will be far less than that of Wang Zelin and Durant.
Unless he can lead the Heat to the Bulls' 72-win regular season record, this challenge is no less difficult than Larry Bird winning the regular season MVP three times in a row.
Therefore, everyone knows that this season's regular season MVP battle seems to have formed a three-legged confrontation, but in fact the final result can only be between the Trail Blazers No. 36 and the Thunder No. 35.
After understanding this, the hot discussion of "35VS36" began to become widely popular in the league, just like "23VS24" in the past.
Since a long time ago, NBA executives have long been familiar with the drama of strong rivalry and double-headed showdown.
Zhang Dashuai VS Lord of the Rings, Black and White, Air Jordan VS Glider Drexler, Big Shark VS Stone Buddha, 03 Platinum Peerless Twins...
The most successful drama of two heroes coexisting is the contest between Magic Johnson and Bird in the 1980s. The most unsuccessful one is probably the battle between Jordan and Drexler and James and Anthony. Has it just been launched?
It didn't take long before Drexler and Anthony were defeated in the duel.
But no matter what, when they were first established, they did attract a lot of attention and traffic to the NBA. Fans liked this tune, and the media liked it even more.
35VS36!
A duel that was both unexpected and yet seemed to be a reasonable one came into being.
However, no matter how hot the outside world is at this time, the first person to feel unhappy is Kevin Durant.
Think about it too.
Durant, who entered the NBA in 2007, has worked hard for many years before reaching his current status. Among active players, no matter how you rank Durant, he is a top-three superstar.
As a result, now, the league wants to put a rookie who has not finished his second year with him and start a bundled sale type of hype.
The league has been enjoying this practice for a long time, and it is simply a proper traffic code. Wang Zelin has also benefited greatly, because no matter how outstanding his performance and strength are at this time, in the eyes of the outside world, he is only a second-year rookie after all.
Time is his greatest enemy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The alliance will do more good than harm to Wang Zelin. Although he will encounter a lot of doubts at first, as long as he can speak with his strength, he can win against Du
If you prove yourself in the duel between Rand and Lant, you can shorten your initial start-up period infinitely and quickly grow into a world-renowned basketball superstar.
He was quite happy.
Some people feel uncomfortable.
Durant finally began to understand the reason why Kobe suddenly turned black when he first learned about the "23VS24" statement from the media. So much so that he would always try his best in subsequent games against the Cavaliers.
Seems like you want to prove something?
You can just talk about sacrificing yourself for others, but if it really happens to you, few people will be happy to see it.
…
At noon on December 5, the Trail Blazers left Portland and flew to Oklahoma.
Tonight their opponent is the Thunder team led by Dewey.
As a contest between the two top teams in the Western Conference and even the league, the broadcast standards are naturally extremely high. This game is jointly broadcast live across the United States by ESPN, TNT, and ABC, three well-known American television stations.
In addition to all-American live broadcasts, each NBA team has its own local live broadcast provider, such as the Trail Blazers' live broadcast provider KOIN TV, referred to as CBS in English, and the Chinese Imperial TV station across the ocean are also involved.
Such a large-scale joint live broadcast, even the top teams may not have a few games in a season. Take the Trail Blazers, for example, after playing the Thunder tonight, if you want to enjoy such a broadcast specification again, you have to wait until the Christmas game.
Therefore, both the Thunder and the Trail Blazers attach great importance to the next game. This is to show their faces in front of hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Any small mistake will be broadcast around the world through television. If you play well,
, can also absorb a large amount of powder.
On the evening of the 5th, before the game, both sides announced their lineups.
Visiting Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
Home team Thunder: Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins.
In the home team's locker room, Westbrook said to Durant: "Kevin, those media are simply crazy. They selected that Oriental kid to be tied with you. Who does he think he is? Is he the Thunder Tyrannosaurus of the year?"
Durant nodded, turned to Ibaka and said angrily: "Serge, if you have a chance tonight, you must give that bastard a few blocks!"
Westbrook was afraid that Durant would get angry and affect the game that night, so he quickly warned: "Kevin, let's teach that bastard Wang a lesson tonight. I will definitely find an opportunity to dunk him a few times to really hurt his face.
"
"walk slowly!"
Thinking that his second brother's body has become stronger after returning from injury, as if he has returned to the game to upgrade, Durant is full of confidence.
When the team takes the field, the two sides meet at the entrance of the tunnel.
"Russell, I watched your game the day before yesterday, and you were only three rebounds away from getting a triple-double. What a shame!"
From a distance, Wang Zelin started shouting.
"..."
Westbrook was confused, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
But since the other party gave him face like this, he also responded to the scene and said: "It's okay! But you, you only missed 5 rebounds to get 30-20. It's really scary."
"Haha," Wang Zelin smiled, went up and hugged Westbrook's shoulders, like an old friend reunited: "You know? What I appreciate most in the league is your violent dunks and fanatical passion for the game. I believe that sooner or later
One day, you will lead the Thunder back to the Finals."
"That must..."
en, Westbrook suddenly reacted to something, shook off Wang Zelin's hand on his shoulder, and looked back...
Good guy, Durant's eyes were spitting fire at this time, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Kevin!"
As soon as Westbrook opened his mouth, Durant strode forward with a stern look on his face like an angry little daughter-in-law.
You want to be the boss, right? I’ll let you make your final appearance today.
I don’t know if he was really angry or fake, but Durant just walked to the front of the lineup.
"King, you..."
How despicable!
Westbrook pointed in the direction of Durant, then turned back and pointed tremblingly at Wang Zelin.
You know, although the order of NBA players' appearances is not explicitly stated and is usually decided by the teams themselves, there are some unspoken rules.
Under normal circumstances, the substitute players play in the front position first, and the top five players are relatively behind. Some veteran players, such as the boss of the locker room, will also be placed in the back position, such as Manu Ginobili of the Spurs.
Classes of players who hold a special status.
However, many teams have one thing in common: the boss of the team is usually the last one to appear in the finale. One is to enhance the atmosphere, and the other is to highlight the status and let the fans know who is the real boss of the team.
The Thunder don't have such a habit. Their order of appearance is usually that center Perkins comes out first, shooting guard second, Durant third, Westbrook fourth, and Iraq last.
Baka.
However, Durant, who has always been relatively sensitive, was so aroused by Wang Zelin that he selectively "forgot" his previous appearance order.
"Hey, forgive me for being such a person who likes to tell the truth."
After saying that, Wang Zelin quickly ran back to his team.
Heaven and earth can learn from each other. The reason why he went over to chat was simply because he wanted to learn from the future king of sewers about getting triple pairs. He didn't expect such an unexpected surprise!
Sure enough, after a while, it was the warm-up time for the Thunder home DJ. After the away team players came out, the Thunder substitute players came on first. When it came to the main lineup, Durant's unexpected appearance caught DJ off guard and he was obviously stuck.
For a moment.
Court bench bench.
"Ouch! What's going on? Why is Durant the first to appear?" Yu Ga was immediately amused by the scene.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey! Yu Jia, have you seen Thunder coach Scott Brooks? He also looked surprised. It is probably that the players adjusted it in private."
Director Zhang was also confused.
After the interlude, all Thunder players came out.
Game start.
Ibaka fell behind on the jump ball, and the Blazers attacked.
After landing, Wang Zelin rushed directly to the paint area.
Perkins didn't hesitate and moved directly in front of Wang Zelin.
"Bang!"
The two collided directly with each other, Wang Zelin's momentum was stalled, and the smaller Perkins was knocked back two steps by him.
Wang Zelin was about to charge again, but Perkins puffed up his chest and stood in front of him again before he gave up.
After a brief test, he had to admit: This guy is really a tough guy!
When he came to the short corner area on the right wing, Wang Zelin first went back and forth to the basket. Without a chance, he quickly retreated to the low post on the right wing and started to take position.
Although he is 8 centimeters shorter than Wang Zelin, Perkins weighs a full 128 kilograms, and his shoulder width is really not as wide as Wang Zelin's.
As a result, the two muscle rods were pressed together, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Perkins is so strong! He should be one of the few people in the league who can fight head-on with the king!" Yu Jia said.
That's it, Wang Zelin suddenly lost his strength and relied on Perkins to turn around and slip to the baseline.
"Oops!"
On the opposite side, Ibaka, who was low on the right wing, immediately rushed over.
When Wang Zelin completed his turn, Perkins, who was slightly weaker, had nothing to do with him other than fouling.
At this time, at the top of the arc, Lillard used Matthews to cover Westbrook, faced Sefolosha at the free throw line, jumped up suddenly, and drove the ball over his head into the paint.
"Bang!"
Wang Zelin kicked the ground hard, jumped with both feet, grabbed the ball with both hands, and threw it backwards with his back to the basket.
Ibaka knew how terrifying the power of the guy in front of him was, and he had no intention of committing a foul right from the start, so his sprinting pace suddenly stopped.
"boom!"
A violent dunk, the basket trembled suddenly.
"Nice dunk! Alley-oop! Zelin performed a baseline alley-oop dunk at the beginning..." Zhang Lili started roaring again.
"Don't look at me like that, come on, I'll wait for you to buckle me later!"
After landing, Wang Zelin shouted at Perkins.
"asshole!"
Perkins' anger level was instantly filled.
"Patrick, don't be impulsive!"
Ibaka immediately grabbed his brother.
"Serge, help with defense! Pay attention to help with defense!"
On the sidelines, Brooks also started roaring.
Thunder attacks and advances extremely fast.
Westbrook took the lead and wanted to attack, but the Trail Blazers returned to defense quickly. Seeing Aldridge and Wang Zelin blocking the penalty area, Westbrook passed the free throw line and handed it to Durant who came to the top of the key.
.
The moment Durant caught the ball, Ibaka came up for a pick-and-roll. Durant changed direction, threw Batum away, and took a two-point shot.
Lillard stepped forward to block the shot without even touching Durant's chest.
"Whoosh!"
Durant hit without interference.
2:2.
"Fuck! Why is there such a perversion?"
Every time he saw Durant playing the same offensive style, Wang Zelin would curse as usual before picking up the ball and serving the baseline.
This guy is so buggy!
Next round.
When Young Dewey saw Wang Zelin from the outside, carrying the double-team of Ibaka and Perkins, and still slamming the ball into the basket, the two of them also said in their hearts, "A generous gift!"
As everyone knows, someone is not a bug-level monster in the eyes of others.
That's right, only magic can defeat magic, and only monsters can defeat monsters.
