While the Spurs were venting all kinds of dissatisfaction, the wild trend at the end of the Western Conference regular season was in full swing. Wang Zelin and his teammates did not stop fighting.

In a game, there must be wins and losses. This kind of thing is normal. Besides, with 48 wins and 21 losses, the Trail Blazers are still very stable in third place in the Western Conference.

In the media reception room of the Rose Garden Arena, Terry Stotts walked proudly on the stage with Wang Zelin. He got the latest news. The Mosaic team lost to the Spurs, who used their entire team, and the Lakers, who were ranked ninth, were defeated again.

I saw hope of reaching the playoffs.

Theoretically, the Lakers still have hope for the playoffs. Under the leadership of Kobe, the team has become more and more courageous. They are only one win less than Mosaic. The opportunity to overtake seems to be right in front of them.

Don’t forget, Kobe is known as the Spurs killer.

Now that the Lakers have shown a great possibility of returning to the playoffs, the first person to feel uneasy is undoubtedly the Spurs.

Another badass team appears!

Therefore, as long as the Spurs are unhappy, the Trail Blazers will be extremely happy.

"Hello, Wang! I'm a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.

I would like to ask, in the last game, did you really follow the Spurs' example and use fake injuries as an excuse to achieve the purpose of resting, as the outside world said."

"Sorry, we have never thought of such a thing. The reason for taking turns is entirely due to injuries. This is unavoidable. Please forgive me."

Since he chose to attend the press conference, Wang Zelin was naturally prepared to deal with the media's difficulties and had prepared his rhetoric long ago.

"But that's not what Spurs coach Sima Wei said. He thinks you are a group of outstanding actors and should go to Los Angeles for employment instead of the NBA..."

Another reporter stood up, with the words "ESPN" written on the microphone he was holding.

"Hahaha! Thank you coach Sima Wei for your opinion, I will seriously consider it." Wang Zelin replied with a smile, without any fluctuation in his expression.

"Coach Stotts, may I ask..."

…

That night, facing the menacing Nets, Batum exploded, scoring 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists on 9 of 13 shots, a near-triple-double, plus 3 steals and 1 block.

In addition, Aldridge scored a game-high 28 points, Wang Zelin contributed 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Lillard contributed 16 points and 10 assists.

For the Nets, Reggie Evans scored a team-high 24 points and 11 rebounds, Lopez scored 22 points, and Deron Williams scored 11 points...

Back at home, the Blazers all cheered up and had no intention of continuing the performance.

Aldridge took the lead in the mid-range shot. After he succeeded, the Nets suddenly launched a 16:2 offensive climax. At this stage, Luo Peichi and Evans scored 6 points each.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers woke up in time. Wang Zelin led the team to a scoring climax and struggled to fill the gap at the end of the first half. After two quarters, they took a three-point lead at 54:51.

Entering the third quarter, every time the Nets scored, they immediately encountered a fierce counterattack from the Trail Blazers, with no hope of overtaking. Batum suddenly broke out in this quarter and played a 7:0 victory in the final stage.

Shock wave, the score difference was instantly opened to 10 points, 78:68.

In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers maintained a 10-point deficit. In the last three minutes, the Nets sent out all their substitutes and gave up the game in advance.

In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the fourth-place Nets in the Eastern Conference 111:93 at home, consolidating their third place in the Western Conference and increasing their number of wins to 49.

Seeing that 50 wins was so close, many Trail Blazers fans expressed tears.

The last time the team won 50 games was back in the 2009-10 season three years ago, when their leader was Brandon Roy.

Now things have changed.

It is worth mentioning that since the 21st century, the Trail Blazers have exceeded 50 wins three times. Unfortunately, each time the record was fixed at 50 wins and 32 losses.

This year is different. Considering there are more than ten games left, the team's record is likely to hit a new high, even catching up with the 59 wins set by the Trail Blazers led by Scottie Pippen, the second head of the Bulls dynasty, in the 1999 season.

23 losses.

That year, the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, led by the OK combination, felt the tiebreaker. In the end, they lost by only 5 points 84:89.

Although they later learned that the opponent was the fifth dynasty team in NBA history, Portland fans still couldn't let it go.

After all, that season was the most promising season for the Blazers to compete for the O'Brien Trophy after the 1976-77 season, but they lost.

Fortunately, everything is over, and the Trail Blazers have ushered in a new era, which will be extremely bright!

…

After the battle with the Nets, the Trail Blazers will usher in a wave of back-to-back games. Their opponents are the Jazz and the Warriors, one home and one away.

On the night of the 30th, the Trail Blazers had a home game against the Utah Jazz.

Aldridge missed this game due to injury... This time he was really injured.

All members of the Jazz were planning to show off their skills, but unfortunately the opponent had a Gundam.

25 points and 18 rebounds!

Wang Zelin led the remaining team to successfully resist the Utah Jazz's invasion and won two consecutive home victories with 105:95.

Batum, who showed his prowess in the past two days, played mediocrely, only scoring 9 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, which was far below average. Matthews was similar, with 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Fortunately, Lillard was able to provide Wang Zelin with a certain amount of firepower support, with 20 points and 8 assists; Connett Lee's 11 points on the bench were also very important.

After this campaign, with 50 wins and 21 losses, the Trail Blazers tied their regular season win record since the 21st century, and there is still a chance for further improvement.

Because there are still 13 games left, it is almost certain to set the fourth-best regular season win record in team history.

The first is the 63 wins in 1990-91, the second and third are the same record of 59 wins and 23 losses set in the 89-90 season and the 1999-00 season respectively, and the fourth is the 53 wins and 29 losses set in the 87-88 season.

The hope of competing for the top three is slim, but if we focus on 53 wins, it can be said to be within reach for the current Blazers.

After playing against the Jazz, Wang Zelin and his teammates took Corgi to Los Angeles. At 6 pm on the 31st, they will have a showdown with the Golden State Warriors, another bright star this season.

The Warriors' current record is 42 wins and 29 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the team's newly established new leader-Stephen Curry.

22 points, 6.9 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.6 steals!

"Cute God" Curry produced very outstanding statistics in the last year of his rookie contract, especially his three-pointers. He averaged 3.5 hits in 7.7 attempts per game, and his field goal percentage reached a terrifying 45.3%.

You can say that.

He is the current top three-point shooter!

In addition, the Warriors' No. 2 Klay Thompson gradually became famous after the All-Star Game and played several beautiful games. He even surpassed Lillard and Anthony during the two weeks when Wang Zelin was absent due to injury.

Davis, two big names in the same class, won the NBA's official Rookie of the Week award.

Before this, Wang Zelin monopolized this honor in the west, without giving any chance to outsiders.

When he was injured, I thought it would be a competition between Lillard and Anthony Davis, but who would have thought that Klay Thompson would appear for the first time.

The title of "second shooter in the league" is becoming more and more stable for Klay Thompson.

At present, the Warriors are still an offense-oriented team and have not yet achieved both offense and defense. Their biggest reliance is on Stephen Curry on the outside and David Lee on the inside.

Both have the ability to average 20 points per game and are the two most stable points for the Warriors.

Coach Tristos made a division of labor arrangements before the game: Wang Zelin strangled David Lee in the post, Clete Merson at the second position was dealt with by Batum, and as for Curry, Lillard personally invited him to play.

As a three-point master, Lillard was very unhappy with Curry's halo as the league's top shooter.

Sensing the ambition in his teammates, Wang Zelin suddenly felt worried.

He remembered very clearly that the Trail Blazers and the Warriors would definitely become enemies later on, especially Lillard and Curry, the two teams' leading point guards. Every time they met, one of them would easily break away. The two scored the highest points in their careers.

They were all obtained from the opponent's head.

But overall, Lillard loses more often.

Therefore, Wang Zelin always has an ominous premonition tonight.

…

Time came to the last attack of the third quarter, and the ball was firmly in the hands of the player wearing No. 30 jersey.

Stephen Curry!

At this time, the score between the two teams was 70 to 87, and the Trail Blazers were 17 points behind their opponents.

This night is destined to be unforgettable for every Warriors fan.

With 33 points in the third quarter, their new leader "Cute God" Curry exploded.

Curry's scoring show was different from the scoring feast of traditional scorers. His scoring performance seemed so light and indifferent that before many people could recover, he had already dropped 6 three-pointers.

easy!

Curry's scoring performance seems to reveal this word all the time.

The audience on the sidelines and all members of the two teams focused on No. 30 almost at the same time, wanting to see how he would handle the last attack. The latter was very excited.

Moments like this were his favorite.

Maybe, I can try to keep this feeling forever, forever, forever.

Player No. 30 suddenly burst out with strong desire in his eyes.

I don't have a strong body!

There is no such thing as lightning speed!

But I have found my own way to win...three points!

I'm going to use my own way to take over the game...
To be continued...
