Chapter 1071 Another space battleship is about to be born?
When the Trail Blazers and Hawks led by 21 points at halftime, the expressions of the fans in front of the TV, mobile phones, and computers began to change. After leading by 35 points in the third quarter, their faces were filled with smiles.
In the end, when the Trail Blazers beat the Hawks with 26 points 131:105 and won their 50th win of the season, everyone screamed and roared with excitement in front of the screen.
Afterwards, everyone rushed to tell each other online and cheered for the Blazers to achieve 50 wins.
With 34 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, Paul Millsap had a phenomenal performance tonight, at least enough to rank among the top three in his single performance this season.
But the better Millsap plays, the more it highlights how well Wang Zelin played in tonight's game!
45 points, 22 rebounds, 5 assists, 8 blocks and 5 steals in a single game...standard 5x5 data!
Yu Jiadu from the imperial court laughed and said that Wang Zelin missed two blocks. He felt like he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Wang Zelin almost got another triple-double of 40, 20, 10 blocks.
This season, many fans and media have called Westbrook of the Thunder the new triple-double king and the modern Big O. However, in front of Wang Zelin, his gold content seems to be insufficient.
So far, Wang Zelin has only scored two triple-doubles, which is far behind Westbrook, who averages triple-doubles per game. However, the gold content of these only two triple-doubles is sky-high.
One time was a big triple-double of 40 20 10. The opponent was the Houston Mosaic, one of the league's top teams. In the end, Wang Zelin also hit the buzzer-beater to help the Blazers pass the game at 139:136... It can be said that all kinds of buffs were clicked.
full.
If Thunder fans can refute the above performance by saying that Westbrook also played a 50-point triple-double, then Wang Zelin scored 84 18 10 against the Golden State Warriors, one of the only two teams to win 70 games last season.
7 3 An unprecedented triple-double, it should be able to convince everyone.
Not to mention Wang Zelin also had a double-30 super quadruple-double against the Thunder.
Competing on the versatility of data, Wang Zelin basically managed to overlook all living beings in this area!
In terms of dominance in the field of data, the only person in NBA history who can barely suppress Wang Zelin is the "Basketball Emperor" Wilt Chamberlain.
But don't forget, Wang Zelin is still under 25 years old. It is not impossible to surpass Chamberlain in the future and become the number one stat maniac in NBA history.
Taking into account Wang Zelin's performance in various data records this season, it can only be described in one word - too fierce!
After another highlight performance tonight, his calls to defend his MVP title have skyrocketed again!
Of course, the most important thing is the record. The Trail Blazers have 50 wins and 4 losses.
According to historical rules, even in the craziest regular season in history, when a team achieves 50 wins in a season, it is basically guaranteed that they will get a direct train to the playoffs.
In other words, after this game, even if the Trail Blazers lose all in the next two and a half months, they will definitely be indispensable for the eight playoff spots in the Western Conference.
The defending champion Portland Trail Blazers have already locked in the playoffs ahead of schedule!
…
…
The call for Wang Zelin to defend his MVP title continues to grow, which is inseparable from his incredible performance in personal data this season.
He averaged 40 points, 18 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.9 blocks and 1.4 steals per game, which is comparable to magical data at the level of ancient mythical beasts.
This also includes 84 points in a single game, quadruple-doubles, 50 points in 4 games, 40 points in 18 games, and a record of scoring more than 30 points in 53 consecutive games so far this season...
If Chamberlain was the only true god in the field of data in ancient times, then after the merger of the NBA and ABA, with his performance this season, it is not an exaggeration to call Wang Zelin the "God of Modern Basketball Data".
As strong as Air Jordan back then, he only averaged 37 points per game in the regular season. In 2006, Tu Longke scored 81 points in a single game and averaged 35 points per game. Now he has been successfully surpassed by Wang Zelin.
Once upon a time, after the NBA developed into a relatively mature modern basketball system, averaging 40 points per game in a season was known as an insurmountable penalty zone for humans.
But now, Wang Zelin's appearance has severely slapped the faces of those who are calling beasts. With his miraculous performance for most of the season, he once again explained what it means that everything depends on man-made efforts!
At the same time, the clamor for MVP defense is rising, and the key is the record!
Judging from the current trend, by the end of the regular season, the Trail Blazers are likely to reach 70 wins again. Although there is a high probability that they will not surpass last season's 75-win record, even if they get 70 wins in the end, it will be enough to impress the world.
Exclaimed in disbelief.
That’s 70 wins in a single season!
You can't deny the high value of 70 wins in the regular season just because two teams, the Trail Blazers and the Warriors, broke the Bulls' record of 96 and 72 wins last season.
Prior to this, NBA teams came one after another, and even several dynasty-level super teams appeared. However, only the Bulls in 1996 had won 70 games.
Even if the Trail Blazers' regular season season this season would have declined last season, as long as the decline does not exceed 5 wins and the basic set of 70 wins is maintained, then Wang Zelin will have a high probability of being crowned for 4 consecutive years, which symbolizes his personal
The supreme regular season MVP honor among honors!
However, even the media's praise still has its reservations.
Because Wang Zelin is currently not only the favorite for MVP, but also the favorite for Defensive Player of the Season!
Top personal honors that are elusive for countless stars, such as one-on-one defense, can only be regarded as sprinkles for Wang Zelin, because he has already locked in these two honors in advance.
Winning MVP and Best Defensive Player at the same time in a single season is an achievement that only Jordan in the 1987-88 season and Olajuwon in the 1993-94 season have accomplished in NBA history.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Extending to the players who not only won the MVP but also won the two honors of the best defensive player in their career years, there are six players, Jordan, Olajuwon,
David Robinson, Garnett and Wang Zelin in the three years of 14, 15 and 16!
Data often represents the boundary of a player's ability, while record often represents the upper limit of a player's ability to lead a team. Wang Zelin is now able to win both of them, even the most demanding ESPN expert team, as well as those who are making waves online.
The kings and black men also became extremely quiet at this time.
In the face of the hard facts and the sharp eyes of the people, we can't continue to play double standards, right?
Or the classic "put aside the facts", if they dare to do this, they will really lose their face.
Of course, Wang Zelin is not money and cannot satisfy everyone.
Right now, there are still a bunch of keyboard warriors saying sourly:
You, Wang Zelin, are so awesome? Then why don’t you show us five pairs? As long as you can get five pairs, we will definitely be convinced by you in the future!
Hot knowledge: Since the NBA has perfect statistical game statistics, no one has ever won a five-double in history!
It can only be said that the brain circuits of these people are really strange, and they definitely eat plums in private.
Regarding this type of mindless remarks, Wang Zelin really wanted to greet these keyboard warriors face to face:
Are you okay?
…
…
The Trail Blazers, the first team to win 50 games in a single season, attracted all the attention of the fans. Just like those great teams in the past, the Trail Blazers have also entered the discussion of the strongest team in history.
, now on all major social platforms, among the discussion topics of all basketball fans, the Trail Blazers absolutely cannot be avoided.
Wang Zelin and his teammates did not have the time or energy to pay attention to this. After playing the game against the Hawks, they took a day off. On February 9, they continued to sit at home to face the challenge of the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz's strength is still quite good, with Gordon Hayward at small forward, George Hill and Joe Ingles at the back, Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors in the penalty area.
The talented rookies previously selected by the Jazz management have now come to exchange their talents. The Jazz lineup must be talented and ready to fight. There are also Joe Johnson and Alex Burrow on the bench.
With French magician Diaw and others, the depth of the bench is guaranteed.
In Wang Zelin's impression, the Jazz achieved the best regular season record of 51 wins and 31 losses in recent years this season, and finally entered the playoffs ranked fifth in the Western Conference.
Before this game, the Utah Jazz had a record of 31 wins and 20 losses, barely ranking eighth in the Western Conference.
Yes, due to the influence of a certain little butterfly, the Western Conference has started a crazy arms race in the past few years, with strong teams gathering together. Even though the young people of the Jazz have gradually realized their talents, their lives are much more difficult than before.
.
As far as the Western Conference is concerned this season, there are at least 11 teams that are capable of entering the playoffs.
The defending champion Portland Trail Blazers lead the league with 50 wins, followed closely by the four-star Warriors with 45 wins, the "Holy City duo" Leonard and Love ranked third with 42 wins, and the Aerospace City "Lantern Melon Team"
40 wins is equally impressive.
After the top four, the Lakers' three old giants have not aged well with 35 wins, the Thunder's Megatron is famous for his single-core 33 wins, the Grizzlies are just a troublemaker with 32 wins, and finally the Jazz, who are ranked eighth with 31 wins.
Behind them, there are two teams that are only one win behind them and both have 30 wins. They are the Sacramento Kings led by Wiggins and Rondo and the New Orleans Pelicans led by Jimmy Butler, the toughest man in the league.
licans.
In the Eastern Conference, 30 wins is enough to rank among the top six in the conference. However, in the Western Conference, they can't even reach the eighth place in the conference. How can you explain this?
Therefore, it is no wonder that the recent news about the trade of Rondo and Butler has been hotly discussed. It is not that they are not working hard enough. Both of them are dedicated players. There are really too many strong players in the West.
Besides, no matter what age it is now, there are strong teams all over the league, and the teams that can be called powerful are basically equipped with the Big Three and the Big Four.
As a result, the Kings and Pelicans are still playing dual-core, and even have a single-core leader... They can't keep up with the version at all!
As the schedule passed halfway, when Rondo and Butler found that even if they were at 120%, it would be difficult to lead the team into the playoffs, their willingness to leave the team became stronger and stronger.
No, when the Kings lost to the Celtics and the Pelicans lost to the Bulls two days ago, Rondo and Butler unanimously chose to put pressure on the management, either to strengthen the team or trade themselves.
The former was the point guard of the former championship team. Although he is no longer at his peak now, his defense has long been no longer at the first-level defense. His field control and organization are still the best in the league, and he serves as the number one position for an ordinary playoff team.
Still more than enough.
The latter has been a rising all-around wing in the league in the past two seasons, averaging 20+5+5 per game. He is really not weak anymore. The only small forwards at the same position who are better than him at the moment are James, Durant, and Leonard.
Even Paul George, the great general in the Eastern Conference, is currently only slightly better than Butler, but overall, they are both teams at the same level of strength.
The All-Star Weekend is coming, which means that the door to the free trade market this season will also be closed. At this time, any team that has a plan to hit the championship and intends to return to the playoffs, their management has to count one by one.
, all focused on Rondo and Butler.
Right now, the team that has the most hope of recruiting the two of them is the Los Angeles Clippers!
There is no way, who makes Ballmer, the owner of the team, so angry that he has one word all over his body - We are not short of money!
Ballmer has a lot of money, and he does have a passion for NBA team building.
On the road of how to help the Clippers become bigger and stronger, in Ballmer's view, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal.
So, when some teams were staring closely at one of Rondo and Butler, Ballmer waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm: I want them all!
In addition to the Clippers, the Knicks originally had a lot of voices.
In terms of financial resources, Knicks owner Dolan has also been wronged... Bah, the outrage is so high!
Although Dolan is considered the worst owner in the NBA, and the Knicks management is one of the worst in chaos in NBA history, the location is great!
Located in New York, the most famous international metropolis in the world today, it is a natural gathering place for traffic and a proper stage for superstars. In addition, the team owner needs a background, money, money, and brains...
Ahem, please ignore the last sentence.
Therefore, with the support of Dolan, the New York management also shouted the slogan "I want it all!"
But the effect... is a little embarrassing.
There's no way around it, New York is notoriously a bad team, and Rondo and Butler happen to be the type of players who prefer old-school players.
Money and other things are secondary to them. Only success is the real pursuit in their career planning.
So compared to the Knicks, the Clippers are more attractive to them.
First of all, the Clippers are located in Los Angeles, which is also an internationally renowned metropolis. There is no shortage of traffic and topics. What they lack is a strong leader who can lead the Clippers and Lakers to compete in separate divisions.
Secondly, the Clippers' current star Griffin has used two seasons of growth to prove that he now has the strength of the league's top power forward.
But at the same time, it also proves that he does not have the ability to lead a team. He led the team fishing last year, and this year he just led the Clippers to 24 wins, and he cannot even reach the threshold of the Western Conference playoffs.
If Griffin doesn't want to fish for two consecutive years, he can only hope that someone can help him share the pressure.
The last and most critical point is that when Rondo, Butler and Griffin are on the same team, their positions do not conflict. They perfectly fit the popular Big Three model and greatly increase the possibility of the three teaming up.
According to Wo Shen's report, the Clippers management has been in contact with Rondo and Butler for a long time, and they have had a good conversation. They just need to deal with the management of the Kings and Pelicans, and the league will usher in another team with the Big Three as the core.
Core space battleship.
As soon as this news came out, countless Clippers fans were excited, and some radical fans had even started to post the Clippers jerseys after Rondo and Butler arrived in Los Angeles.
