Chapter 1004 Seven consecutive victories at the beginning
Riding on the momentum of their wild start, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Jazz and Clippers in their next two away games.
Wang Zelin's data in the three games are rebounds, rebounds, and rebounds.
In TNT's latest team strength rankings, the Trail Blazers, who had won three consecutive games in the beginning, overcame the Warriors and their rivals to reach the first place in the league.
In addition to TNT's boasting, the Warriors suffered an upset loss to the Spurs in the opening game, which obviously cost them a lot of points.
The remaining championship teams, the Lakers, Spurs, Mosaics and Cavaliers, all have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.
This performance is basically similar to what the media predicted at the beginning of the season.
However, there are a few dark horse teams that emerge every season. This time, the dark horse teams are the Thunder in the West and the Raptors in the East.
In the first week of the season, the Trail Blazers achieved a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the league with the Thunder and Raptors.
Yes, you heard it right, it’s the Oklahoma City Thunder team that was just abandoned by former boss Kevin Durant!
Compared with the Thunder's opening three-game winning streak, the performance of Thunder star Russell Westbrook shocked countless people.
After three games, he averaged 38.3 minutes per game, shooting 45.3% from the field and 44.4% from three-point range...
Is this data that the Turtle can produce?
After three games, Westbrook averaged 38.7 assists, 1 steal, and 0.3 blocks per game, a crazy triple-double per game!
The turtle in my memory seems to have really broken free of the manhole cover seal in the sewer.
At the same time, the Raptors have not lost a game since the start of the game, with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, beating the Cavaliers and Bulls to top the Eastern Conference!
The key figure that allowed them to achieve this result is none other than the core of the team, Kyle Lowry.
In the past week, he averaged 28.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 40%.
At the end of the first week of games, the league also announced the Player of the Week for the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Over in the East, Kyle Lowry was elected without any suspense. This was the fourth time in his career.
As for the West, it was born between Wang Zelin and Westbrook.
In the end, Wang Zelin, who averaged 36.7 points and 15 rebounds per game, lost to Westbrook's triple-double per game!
When this result came out, Wang Zelin's vast fan base immediately expressed dissatisfaction and raised questions.
However, against the backdrop of the ultra-high gold content of averaging a triple-double per game, Westbrook's back looks extremely tall, and his whole person seems to be surrounded by a halo.
In fact, except for Wang Zelin fans and Trail Blazers fans, most of the remaining fans approved of Westbrook's first pick of the week for the season.
There is no way, the performance of the Turtles in the new season is really too explosive!
Originally, the Thunder had just moved away from Durant and did not bring in any big fish such as All-Star players in the summer. As a result, many people initially did not have any hope when faced with the Thunder's record this season.
The same is true for local iron fans including Big Tieling in Oklahoma City.
But who would have thought that not only did they start off very well, they also won three games in a row, and the performance of their star players was even more explosive.
In the opening game against 75 people, Westbrook scored, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, and a near triple-double with an efficient rebound and 9 assists.
In the second game against the Suns, Westbrook played almost the entire game for 45 minutes. Although his shooting touch was average, he still relied on various anti-dynamite bags to attack the basket desperately, winning 20 free throw opportunities and hitting them.
15 of them.
Thus, the first 50-point man of the new season was born!
Assist!!!
Gift crab!
50 Triple-double?
Are you kidding me?
After Westbrook's second game data exploded on the Internet, major social network media completely exploded, and countless fans started heated discussions.
In this period, triple-double data is not as cheap as it was later, and the gold content is still leverage!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the ancient god "Big O" Oscar Robertson to consistently rank among the top 10 in the American media's historical rankings of NBA players by averaging a triple-double per season.
Even if he sometimes fails to crack the top 10, he has basically never fallen out of the top 12 in history.
From this, we can see how outrageous the triple-double data is for a player in this era!
With three games to come, Westbrook, who is averaging 30 triple-doubles per game, has fascinated countless fans. Moreover, his style of play is extremely violent and his various wanton sadism allows him to attract a large number of fans in every game.
"What? 50 triple-double! Is this something humans can do?!"
"The Turtles' performance at the start of this season was so explosive, I declare that I will be his only fan from now on!"
"Averaging a triple-double per game...Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy?"
"After watching three games, I suddenly came up with a bold idea: Do you think it is possible for Russell to average a triple-double for the season?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"That's something that only Big O can do. Russell feels it's a little less interesting."
…
Since Westbrook bombed the Suns in the second game and scored 50 triple-double, in the third game he assisted the Lakers and won another big triple-double...
The enthusiasm of basketball fans all over the world was completely ignited by his explosive triple-double performance!
Recently, there is only one topic that everyone is actively discussing, and that is whether Westbrook can replicate the miracle of the ancient god "Big O" Robertson averaging a triple-double in a single season.
In this fanatical atmosphere, it’s no wonder that except for Wang Zelin’s fans and Trail Blazers fans, few people are discussing who will be the winner of the Western Conference’s first Player of the Week.
Not to mention the best of the week, even the best of the month seems extremely insignificant in front of Westbrook's 50 triple-double.
…
"I'll go, it's really crazy!"
Wang Zelin saw that the Internet was full of news about Westbrook's two consecutive triple-doubles, and he couldn't help but complain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He suddenly remembered that due to Durant's departure this season, Westbrook, who was born with love and hatred, chose to turn his grief and anger into motivation and played the strongest season of his career!
It was also from the beginning of this season that the triple-double, a supreme statistic that had once been beyond the reach of countless stars, began to depreciate day by day.
Until Westbrook averaged a triple-double for three consecutive seasons, triple-double even became a derogatory term at certain times.
Of course, it is precisely because of Westbrook's crazy performance of averaging a triple-double for three consecutive seasons that the "Big O" who was once so amazing was instantly dethroned from the altar.
Since Westbrook, no one dares to talk about the so-called "Big O" averaging a triple-double per game.
I switched to several websites one after another, and the fans' discussions were the same, except for triple-double or triple-double.
Turning off his cell phone, Wang Zelin lay on the bed and ignored all the hot discussions on the Internet.
Where have we just arrived now?
Let the bullets fly a little longer!
…
Not only Wang Zelin was robbed of the Best Player of the Week, but Dong Zhan Xidu was also a little depressed at this time.
James' performance in the first three games is actually quite versatile, averaging 25 points, 8.3 rebounds and 10 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field, and a relatively average three-point shooting rate of 26.7%.
It's a pity that he lost to Wang Zelin in the opening game. Even if he played well in the next two games, he was destined to miss the selection for the best of the week.
As for Durant, his performance in the first week was also quite impressive, averaging 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game. With the Splash Brothers helping to contain him, his shooting percentage reached an exaggerated 53.3%, and he hit three-pointers.
The rate is as high as 45%!
From the perspective of an outside player, this cannot even be said to be an exaggeration, it should be said to be unbelievable!
But his situation is somewhat similar to James. Both of them lost to their opponents in the opening game, and they suffered a huge defeat.
It’s okay if they don’t have an advantage in terms of record, but the Western Conference’s first player of the week is Westbrook, Durant’s best brother.
This... is so embarrassing!
If possible, the current No. 1 and No. 2 small forwards should really find a place to gather together and have a mutual exchange of sympathy.
…
Except for the Cavaliers in the opening game, the Trail Blazers' opponents in the first week were relatively average in strength. However, the average strength of the opponents in the second week was relatively strong.
On the evening of November 1st, the Trail Blazers were at home and faced back-to-back games with the Phoenix Suns.
Before the game, the media basically predicted that the Trail Blazers would win.
The result was just as they expected, the Trail Blazers defeated their opponents by a huge margin in this game and won their fourth victory of the season!
But playing the Suns is just an appetizer. They will usher in a wave of three consecutive visits later, and their opponents are all Western Conference teams.
On the 3rd, the Trail Blazers went to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.
Wang Zelin contributed 45 points, a season high, which helped the Trail Blazers pass the game in a thrilling manner.
The reason why the game was so difficult was mainly due to the inexplicable explosion of backup guard Josh Barea on the Mavericks bench.
Barea, who usually averages around 10 points per game, suddenly made 5 of 8 three-pointers tonight, scoring a season-high 23 points. In the third quarter, Barea led the Mavericks' bench and set off a wave of chaos.
.
After three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed their opponents by a rare 11 points.
Thanks to Coach Terry's timely adjustment of the lineup, all the main players came out in the final quarter and quickly tied and overtook the score.
But they were able to overtake, and they were a little lucky.
Because a regrettable thing happened in the last quarter. Dirk Nowitzki, the soul of the Mavericks, had to leave the game early due to a right Achilles tendon injury with 5 minutes left before the end of the game.
The retirement of the veteran coach directly affected the mentality of the Mavericks players, so much so that they began to play hard, and even lost the mood for the game, and ultimately lost regrettably.
After a night's rest, on the morning of the 5th, the Trail Blazers did not return to Portland, but took the team's exclusive charter flight to Memphis.
In the sixth game of the new season, they encountered the toughest nut in the league - the Memphis Grizzlies!
Because the Grizzlies are located in a small city, it is often difficult to catch any big fish in the trade market. This summer is also the case. The Grizzlies still have not attracted any strong players and can only make minor repairs.
Fortunately, they retained the core players of the team, and the new season will still be the same group of familiar faces.
Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol...
With this group of guys here, it's enough to guarantee the Grizzlies' fundamentals.
Even in the Wild West, they have the ability to lock in a playoff ticket.
The strongest troublemaker in the league, he deserves the title!
On the night of the 5th, FedEx Arena.
The Trail Blazers and Grizzlies started a battle.
After four quarters of the game, the specific scores are: and.
Entering the final quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on Wang Zelin's unanswerable performance of 18 points, finally defeating the Grizzlies' defensive system.
It was another tough battle. The Trail Blazers finally defeated the Grizzlies by 6 points and won their sixth consecutive victory.
The Grizzlies suffered two consecutive losses, falling to seventh place in the Western Conference and eleventh in the league.
After finally having a day off on the 6th, the Trail Blazers continued their road trip without stopping.
The opponent they encountered this time was not as strong as the Grizzlies, but the geographical advantage was great!
In the seventh game of the new season, the Trail Blazers came to the devil's home court that every rookie player is afraid of - Denver Plateau!
Since Jokic was intercepted by the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets have not waited for their savior and are still in a state of reconstruction.
Logically speaking, even if they have a natural geographical advantage, the Trail Blazers can defeat them with hard power.
But when the Trail Blazers actually visited the Pepsi Center, something unexpected happened.
The entire Nuggets team exploded!
In this game, 6 of them scored in double figures, two of them scored 20, and two of them scored 15.
Youdao beat the master to death with random punches!
The Nuggets relied on multiple players and explosions tonight to lead the Trail Blazers by 7 points at the end of the third quarter.
In the final battle, the Trail Blazers made a flurry and tried to control the game, but the young Nuggets dared to fight hard and clinched the score.
Gallinari even hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the last minute to help the Nuggets draw with the Trail Blazers and the game entered overtime.
In overtime, the Trail Blazers, who have rich experience in competitions, quickly stabilized their mentality. Wang Zelin and Lillard cooperated tacitly. Each of them scored one goal. The Trail Blazers scored 5 points in a row and quickly opened the score.
In contrast, the Nuggets players were still too young after all. Seeing that the score was stretched, they chose a more risky three-pointer, hoping to quickly tie the score or even overtake in this way.
But sometimes, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make things worse.
With the "Bang! Bang!" two three-pointers, the Trail Blazers took advantage of the situation and launched a quick attack to counterattack.
In the end, the Trail Blazers scored 10 points in overtime, while the Nuggets failed to score a point.
The Trail Blazers successfully defeated the Nuggets in overtime, adding another victory and starting the new season with seven consecutive wins!
While happy, these two thrilling games still served as a wake-up call for the Trail Blazers.
There are no underdogs in the NBA, not to mention they are still in the Wild West!
On the way to defend their title, they are destined to encounter countless stumbling blocks. They must guard against arrogance and impetuosity in order to go further.
