Chapter 1022 The Best of the Month and Kai Yongs Battle
The various discussions and controversies in the market did not affect Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers. They continued their unfinished journey in November.
As for the last remaining game in November, the Trail Blazers did not let up and won easily.
On the 29th, the Trail Blazers continued to sit at home and ushered in the first game of the season against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers' record this season has been somewhat ups and downs, but overall, they are still able to maintain a level around the top six in the Eastern Conference.
However, they were unlucky during this period. Their star Paul George was injured some time ago. Fortunately, it was only a minor injury and he was only out for a week before he could return. It did not affect the regular season plans.
But without General Joe, the Pacers' strength suddenly dropped from the top six in the Eastern Conference to the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Whenever they encounter one of the strongest teams in the league, it will be difficult to beat them.
What's more, they also met the defending champion Trail Blazers, who started with a fierce offensive!
While George was recovering from injury, Jeff Teague naturally became the temporary boss, and his performance today was also very impressive. He played 34 minutes, made 7 of 13 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws.
He scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, showing an extremely versatile performance.
In addition, four Pacers scored in double figures, namely Myles Turner who had a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds, Glenn Robinson III who had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and 16 points and 3 rebounds.
Aaron Brooks had 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, Al Jefferson...
Even though tonight's opponent is the extremely powerful Trail Blazers, the Pacers players still showed their tenacious playing style and unwillingness to admit defeat.
It’s okay to lose, but you can’t lose cowardly!
It is rare to encounter such a respectable opponent. The Blazers also devoted themselves to the game and convinced the opponent to lose.
135:109, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Pacers at home. Wang Zelin had 36 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. He clocked out of get off work in the third quarter. The Blazers' unbeaten home record continues.
At this point, all 16 games of the Trail Blazers in November have ended, plus the 3 games at the end of October, they have a record of 19 wins and 0 losses, proud of the entire league!
Looking back before the season, anyone who made predictions would never have imagined that the Trail Blazers would get off to an incredible start of 19 wins and 0 losses.
Although in the past two seasons, the Trail Blazers had a 24-game winning streak at the beginning of the 2014-15 season and a 26-game winning streak at the beginning of the 2015-16 season respectively, successively setting the single-season winning streak record in NBA history.
But this season is really different.
After a series of controversial trades in the offseason, the entire league has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even before the start of the game, the Trail Blazers, who had just achieved three consecutive championships and established a dynasty, were even the strongest team in the new season.
If this were at the beginning of the century, when the OK Lakers dynasty had just won three consecutive championships, who would dare to say that they were not the strongest team in various predictions for the start of the 2002-03 season?
But reality is so unpredictable.
Who would have expected that Durant would choose to sign a naked contract with the Warriors, without even leaving any legacy to the Thunder, allowing the Warriors to sign this super player who ranks among the top three in overall combat effectiveness at almost no cost.
huge.
As a result, the Golden State Warriors formed the strongest Galaxy battleship in history with Curry Thompson, Durant Green!
The title of "Universal Brave" has been resounding throughout the league since the offseason trade. Many people even complained at that time: Why play next season? What's the point of going to all that trouble? It's better to just award the championship to the Warriors!
As a result, the Warriors slapped everyone in the face in the opening game of the new season. The four-star Warriors actually lost to the dual-core Spurs...
From another perspective, the Warriors really exceeded everyone's expectations because they actually chose the style of play with the most barrages.
Fortunately, after losing the opening game, the Warriors quickly completed adjustments and quickly demonstrated the true power of the Galaxy Battleship.
So far, the Warriors' record has reached 16 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference and second in the league.
But the most fearful thing about everything is comparison.
Compared with the Blazers' 19-game unbeaten start, the seemingly excellent record of the four-star Warriors seemed to instantly turn into a joke.
Obviously the Warriors are worse than the Trail Blazers on paper, but their record is not as good as the latter. Isn't it funny?
…
Same day, Oracle Arena.
The Warriors also ushered in the final game of November. They faced the challenge of the Eastern Eagles at home.
Surprisingly, the game was very close. Even at the end of the first half, the Hawks led the Warriors by 3 points at 53:50.
Fortunately, in the second half, Curry and Durant suddenly took action. The two scored 34 points together, which helped the Warriors narrowly defeat the Hawks 105:100.
In the crucial second half, Durant made 5 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 17 points efficiently.
Curry didn't do much better either. In the second half, he made 4 of 9 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. He also scored 17 points.
Thompson performed equally well, scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block tonight.
Tonight, the Big Four of the Warriors scored 64 points together... Well, Green made 2 of 9 shots and scored 4 points, but this did not prevent the Warriors from winning their 16th victory of the season.
After the game, Durant and Curry, who both scored 25 points tonight, were selected as the best players of the game.
At the Oracle Arena, the losing Hawks players had already left the game early, and Durant Curry was preparing to be interviewed by reporters after the game with great anticipation.
I never expected that, because the reporter came up and asked, "KD, today Russell scored another 30 triple-double against the Pistons. He has now steadily surpassed you and Stephen in the MVP rankings. What do you think about this?"
Is there anything you want to say?”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
Durant lowered his head and glanced at the reporter, "Who in the league doesn't know that Russell and I have fallen out. Now when I ask this question, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"
In fact, Durant only guessed half of it right. This reporter really wasn't just looking for trouble.
Since Wang Zelin got a 40 triple-double, the outside world has discussed the triple-double statistic to an unprecedented level. In order to earn a wave of traffic, reporters certainly don’t want to let go of Durant, the current superstar, and want to ask his opinion.
.
As for whether Durant would be embarrassed or unhappy?
Sorry, he has never thought about this issue. He is already out to mess with the media. Why do he still care so much? News and revelations have always been for the brave and starved for the timid.
If you are timid and thick-skinned, don’t get involved with the media!
Sure enough, the original joy of winning the game on Durant's face disappeared instantly, and then turned into a face as black as coal.
Emmm, even though he is quite dark to begin with.
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, Durant's face became darker and darker. Curry hurriedly came out to help, and he chose to change the topic:
"Kevin is the best player today. We were able to win thanks to his accurate mid-range at critical moments. I give him a vote for the Western Conference Player of the Month in November! I also hope everyone can vote for him.
!”
I have to say that Curry is really broad-minded. He is obviously on his own team, and his performance today was no worse than Durant, but he is still willing to give the biggest credit for winning the game to Durant.
Maybe in his heart, winning is the most important thing. As long as it can help the team, he is willing to make concessions.
At this point, Curry is really like the No. 21 rookie who just retired this summer. Although one is an outside player and the other is an inside player, there are really many similarities between the two.
What is certain is that both of them are perfect leaders that are extremely rare in NBA history!
It is an honor for every player to be teammates with such a team leader.
Seeing Curry helping to excuse him, Durant's expression turned cloudy in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Stephen is the most important part of the team. I have never seen such an outstanding team leader as him. I
I am very happy to join the Warriors family."
Whether it is now or the last time and space, before he won the championship, Durant always kept in mind his identity as a magic weapon. That period was also the most harmonious period when he got along with the Warriors players.
Including the loud-mouthed Green, when Durant was being criticized by Thunder fans, he couldn't help but stand up and help him fight back.
Moreover, this is not just once or twice.
The various wonderful situations after coming to the Warriors made Durant even more grateful that he made the right choice to be teammates with Westbrook, who loves to play at every turn. Even if he waits until the next life, he will never be able to defeat Wang Zelin and win the championship.
champion.
Therefore, in front of the media, Durant is still very willing to maintain Curry's status as the leader of the team. He does not want to affect the team's good chemical reaction by taking the lead.
"you……"
Looking at the passionate two people in front of him, the reporter felt as if he had been stuffed with dog food and was speechless for a moment.
Forget it, let’s spare this sensitive guy for today, and wait until Stephen is gone to interview him specifically.
The reporter sighed inwardly, then had a flash of inspiration and brought up another topic: "In two days, the Warriors will go to the Portland Rose Garden Arena to play the first game of the new season against the Trail Blazers.
Do you have the confidence to defeat the Trail Blazers who started the season with 19 consecutive wins?"
Hearing this question, Curry's expression became solemn. As the Warriors' strongest imaginary enemy in the Western Conference, he is paying attention to the Trail Blazers' movements all the time.
Regarding the Blazers' unbeaten start to the season, Curry has both admiration and concern.
Of course, what remains unchanged is his confidence in the strength of the Warriors!
Just when Curry wanted to answer, Durant, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"I will win the game in two days! I promise there will be no accidents this time!"
Hey, brother, your silence has finally been lifted.
The reporter rolled his eyes at Durant, and then his heart was full of joy.
Is this the ancient Chinese proverb "If you don't make a sound, it will be a success, but if you make a blockbuster, it will make you famous"?
Durant, who had been silent for a long time, made a big move as soon as he came up. His words were full of confidence in the game between the Warriors and Trail Blazers.
And it should be noted that Durant said "I", not us.
Obviously, he has been bitter about his consecutive defeats at the hands of Wang Zelin in the past four years. Joining the Warriors made him think that he had the capital to defeat Wang Zelin.
And this declaration is more like Durant's unilateral provocation to Wang Zelin, the league's number one player!
After getting the answer he wanted, the reporter didn't bother anymore. After casually asking a few relatively official questions, he brought the news information back without stopping.
On the way, he has even thought about it. It won’t be long before he will be promoted and get a raise, become editor-in-chief, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life... Hehe, he is a little excited just thinking about it!
30th.
Early that morning, the Warriors flew to Portland to prepare for the game against the Trail Blazers on December 1.
In the market, many people are hotly discussing whether the Golden State Warriors can transform into real warriors and block the Trail Blazers' 20-game winning streak?
That's right, as the Blazers' record becomes more and more exaggerated, and after they are about to refresh their own NBA opening record in the first two seasons, fans of the other 28 teams finally choose to temporarily put aside their love for the Warriors.
The battleships were hostile and dissatisfied.
It's all due to the various media's praise of the four-star Warriors at the beginning of the season. Fans of other teams almost forgot that the Trail Blazers were the true masters of the league in the past three seasons.
Before the Warriors fail to win the championship and prove themselves, there is only one big boss in the league, and that is the Portland Trail Blazers!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason why the Portland dynasty can be established is that other teams are naturally indispensable along the way.
But no one wants to be someone's foil for the rest of their lives. Other teams have had enough of the Trail Blazers' superiority, and everyone is eager to change the status quo.
So, let’s start with the Warriors Galaxy Battleship ending the Blazers’ undefeated myth on December 1st.
Another day passed.
The time has finally arrived on December 1, and the game of the century between the Trail Blazers and Warriors is about to begin.
Before the war started, the alliance officials also specially sent a pre-dinner snack.
To be precise, it added fuel to the fire!
On the first day of December, the league officially announced the list of the best players in the East and West for November.
In the Eastern Conference, LeBron James averaged 23.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game, a near triple-double, and led the team to a record of 13 wins and 2 losses. He became the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in the first month of the new season.
players.
On the Western side, in the expectant eyes of the fans of the Western teams, the appearance of a hot man dashed their hopes.
The Trail Blazers played 16 games in November, averaging 41.7 points, 16.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 3.9 blocks and 1 steal per game, and led the team to 16 wins and 0 losses. Naturally, they became the Western Conference's Player of the Month in November!
In this Western Conference Player of the Month selection, the second-ranked player is Russell Westbrook. He averaged a triple-double of 31.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks per game.
The level of luxury of data is actually comparable to Wang Zelin.
However, the record of 12 wins and 8 losses was not enough in front of Wang Zelin, and he lost in the end.
Harden, Durant, and Curry, who are ranked third, fourth, and fifth, actually have very impressive overall performance, with top-notch statistics and records. They are placed in the single-month NBA regular season schedule in many years in the past.
, they will most likely be rated as the best of the previous month.
It's a pity that the three of them, like Westbrook, are destined to be reduced to background in front of Wang Zelin.
After Wang Zelin learned the news, he sighed deeply.
Now that's good, today there are many "Transformed Secret" incarnations of Shi Nian Yong fans. They maintain the same voice both online and offline, expressing their support for the Warriors to defeat the Trail Blazers and interrupt the Trail Blazers' 20-game winning streak!
After Wang Zelin overwhelmed the crowd and won the Western Conference's best first month, both he and the Trail Blazers' identity as the big boss became more and more solid.
Since so many people support the Warriors to win, let him take action on the Warriors tonight. He has actually been waiting for a long time for the first game of the season between the two teams.
As the saying goes, killing chickens to scare monkeys, four-star warriors are very suitable!
