"It's simply unbelievable that the king can be so strong!
He scored 22 points and 10 rebounds against a recognized top defensive team, with more than one quarter left...
Admit it, everyone, he is the best center in the league right now!"
Charles Barkley was filled with emotion.
"But now that the Trail Blazers are behind, the Grizzlies should start to fight back!"
Kenny Smith said abruptly from the side.
Soon, the Grizzlies launched an attack, and Mike Conley seized the opportunity to rush inside. After evading Mike Roberts with the lever, he was met with a palm.
"Snapped!"
The basketball was blown directly out of bounds.
"Wow!!!"
The audience was filled with exclamations from Trail Blazers fans.
"Dude, you shouldn't be here!"
After Wang Zelin blocked the shot, he pointed to the three-pointer.
"Hoo! Hoo..." Mike Conley felt tremendous pressure.
To be honest, this was his first time seeing such a powerful rookie. Even the White Monster Griffin from previous years had never put such great pressure on him.
Maybe he didn't even notice that its breathing became heavier involuntarily.
Seeing Wang Zelin's cold eyes, Mike Conley pushed back without being outdone.
"Maybe you should strengthen your shooting training, the basket is not suitable for you, I'm serious!" A ferocious sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Zelin's mouth.
"Stop looking down on others!"
Mike Conley's face turned pale immediately, he was stimulated by this extremely arrogant rookie.
"I know you are very unwilling, but this is a fact. Otherwise, if you come in and prove it again, I will wait for you here, hahahaha!"
Wang Zelin's laughter became louder and louder, causing the surrounding reporters to snap pictures together, "Crack..."
The grizzly bears attack again.
"Mike, give it to me and I will avenge you!"
As soon as Marc Gasol finished speaking, another voice came out.
"Give him the ball and let your boss challenge me!"
Wang Zelin waved his hand, and his teammates pulled away and shouted sharply at Mike Conley, who had just received the foul ball.
"snort……"
Mike Conley said nothing, clenched his teeth and frowned as he passed the ball.
"Snapped!"
Big White Bear received the ground-breaking pass and faced Wang Zelin with his back.
"Click! Click..."
The reporters at the bottom line were so excited that they were shaking all over, with orgasms on their faces, and the cameras in their hands kept flashing.
"Hush! Hush..."
At the same time, the entire Rose Garden Arena was completely exposed by Marc Gasol's actions, and uniform boos suddenly came.
Countless basketball fans who are watching this game are watching this scene.
In the duel between No. 33 and No. 36, who will win?
Coach Hollins and Coach Terry Stotts stood up at the same time. After looking at each other, they turned their attention to their most proud disciples.
"Snapped!"
There was another sound, and Marc Gasol leaned in.
Wang Zelin behind him held his breath and pushed forward with all his might, refusing to give an inch.
At this time, Marc Gasol's breakthrough move came out, turning around and slipping to the baseline.
"Mark~deduct one!"
Zach Randolph, who was fighting for position with Mike Roberts on the other side, couldn't help but roar.
Seeing this, Wang Zelin immediately took half a step back and blocked the left side.
The moment Wang Zelin made a retreat, Marc Gasol, who turned around, suddenly took his steps back and connected with a jump shot.
"You've still been tricked!"
Marc Gasol was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, the basket in his sight gradually disappeared, and everything in front of him suddenly went dark.
"You underestimated me!"
With a snap, Wang Zelin pressed his palm directly on the basketball that Marc Gasol was about to take. The terrifying force coming from the other side of the basketball made Marc Gasol's body unbalanced, and he fell backwards, and the basketball in his hand was completely released.
When he looked up, he saw that the ball was being held tightly by Wang Zelin with one hand and was not moving at all.
"Wang!Wang!Wang..."
The fans all stood up and spontaneously shouted Wang Zelin's last name, which continued and resounded throughout the stadium.
"OMG! OMG!
This was a shot, Wang defended it, and he did it..."
Charles Barkley's voice echoed over the Rose Garden, making the home fans even more excited.
"The Trail Blazers launch a fast break! Oh, look, No. 36 is making a crazy fast break. There is no obstacle in front of him, but this is normal. I believe no normal person is willing to risk his life to bet whether he can block a
The 286-pound beast has already charged!"
Kenny Smith also fell into madness and let out heart-rending roars.
"boom!"
Wang Zelin dunked in an alley-oop, and the rim was torn and severely deformed.
65:65, the two teams tied.
Beep~~~
The Grizzlies called timeout.
"Wang, you are great!" Mike Roberts rushed over and hugged Wang Zelin, shouting loudly.
"Hey hey hey, I'm not gay, stay away from me."
Wang Zelin pushed Mike Roberts away with a look of disgust.
In the past, he never understood why women's sweat was called fragrant sweat and men's sweat was called smelly sweat... Now he understands.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After being pushed away, Mike Roberts still had a smile on his face and followed Wang Zelin back to the bench.
Soon, the game continued with no changes in the lineups of both sides.
Wang Zelin glanced at Marc Gasol... Oh, I haven't given up yet, it seems I have to work harder.
Mike Conley controlled the ball, used the pick-and-roll to immediately get rid of Lillard's entanglement, rushed into the paint area, and aimed at Wang Zelin.
Coming for me?
When the latter saw it, he was about to move laterally when Mike Conley passed the ball. He rushed forward, but the ball was passed backward and was passed to the open Prince.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared on the return line.
"Snapped!"
Lillard succeeded in intercepting the ball and turned around for a fast break.
None of the other nine players reacted, and Lillard had already passed the center line.
"Whoosh!"
Easy layup from all over the court.
The Blazers went ahead by two points.
"What's going on? Why does No. 0 appear there?"
Hollins yelled on the sidelines. He did not expect that his instructions during the timeout did not work and the team made low-level mistakes again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The replay started on the big screen. It turned out that Lillard did not switch defenses with his teammates after being blocked, but instead dropped Zach Randolph and continued to move forward.
Yin Yin and Wang Zelin formed a double team.
When Mike Conley made a return pass, Lillard moved decisively to the right and finally completed the steal.
"The Trail Blazers had several fast breaks today, while the Grizzlies have not scored in 3 or 4 consecutive rounds. If this continues..."
Kenny Smith was explaining when he suddenly saw Wang Zelin rushing towards the baseline crazily, and he instantly became excited: "Zach Randolph's open opportunity, Wang Zelin's defense, his speed is very fast... Oh, he's here!"
Duang～
Zach Randolph was severely interfered with, missed the shot, and the rebound was collected by Batum.
"Hei Fatty, you can't do it any more. Hurry up and admit defeat!"
While rushing to the frontcourt, Wang Zelin said to Zach Randolph who was working hard on the side.
"you you……"
Zach Randolph is one of the people with the worst body management in the league. The continuous high-intensity battles made him a little breathless, and he turned around and was too lazy to talk to Wang Zelin.
"Look, I'm going to start performing!"
What?
Zach Randolph's eyes widened as he saw Wang Zelin suddenly accelerate and drive in from the three-point line.
Seeing Wang Zelin getting closer and closer to the three-second zone, Matthews saw the right moment and threw the ball into the sky...
Boom~
Wang Zelin received an alley-oop from Matthews and scored a slam dunk.
No one expected that the Memphis Grizzlies, always known for their defense, would fall into the opponent's iron-blooded defense tonight.
With Wang Zelin's dominant performance on both offense and defense in the last few minutes of the third quarter, he completely defeated the Grizzlies' fighting spirit and sealed tonight's victory.
At 76:65, the Grizzlies were denied a single point in half the quarter, and the Trail Blazers entered the final quarter with an 11-point advantage.
Such an advantage is almost equivalent to declaring the Grizzlies' failure in advance.
Sure enough, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies ended with a score of 91:79.
When the opponent was the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers could be said to have won a big victory. The final score difference of this game was 12 points, and the highest score difference was 19 points. The last 8 minutes of the fourth quarter were already garbage time.
After the game, Wang Zelin, who scored 31 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 assists, was successfully elected as the best player tonight and was interviewed by the media on the court.
"Wang, congratulations on once again being elected the best player on the spot with your amazing statistics. Oh, according to statistics, in the games won by the Trail Blazers this season, you were elected the best player on the spot more than 70% of the time. Facing you
How does it feel?"
At this time, a blond female reporter from TNT TV station, wearing a pair of sky-high boots, walked up to Wang Zelin.
I don’t know if it was because of dazzling eyes, but after the female reporter came over and stood still, a certain part of her body visibly shook several times.
"This feeling is great!" Looking back, Wang Zelin replied with a smile: "But what I want to say is that these are not my own merits, but the result of the joint efforts of all members of the team, without everyone's inhibitions.
When we come back, it will be difficult for us to win this game, and if it does not affect the game, no matter how beautiful the data is, it will be so pale!"
"I took a look. The Blazers' next opponent is the Spurs, who are ranked second in the Western Conference. Are you ready?"
"Of course, I am always ready for this battle!"
When the Spurs were mentioned, Wang Zelin instantly stopped smiling.
It would be a lie to say you are not worried about the pressure from top teams.
After asking a few more questions, the TNT interview ended. When Wang Zelin turned around and was about to return to the locker room, there was a noise behind him.
"Wang, do you have time to have a meal with us?"
Looking back, I saw that the person coming was the female reporter who had just interviewed me.
"em...well..."
Seeing Wang Zelin hesitating, the female reporter saw the photographer put away the camera, stepped forward and leaned against Wang Zelin, with undisguised charm in her eyes: "My Karina, this is my phone number, don't forget to call when you get back.
Give me."
"I go!"
Wang Zelin looked down and saw a small note sitting in his palm... It can only be said that Milician is really open.
After returning to the locker room, Wang Zelin casually crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
The playoffs are coming soon, and he can no longer take care of these messy things.
…
The countdown to the regular season is getting closer and closer, and the Grizzlies coaching staff and management discuss the issue of playoff ranking selection almost every day.
With 53 wins and 22 losses, the Trail Blazers are still ranked fourth in the Western Conference. In front of them are the Clippers, Spurs and Thunder, and behind them are the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Warriors, and Mosaic.
Judging from the current trend, the Trail Blazers' opponent in the first round is most likely to be the Nuggets ranked fifth, which is in line with the previous strategy of picking opponents.
There is also good news. The Nuggets have 6 games left and the regular season ends on April 16th, while the Trail Blazers have 7 games left and the regular season ends on April 18th. If done properly, the first
The opponent will be stable in the round.
But I am afraid of improper operation.
Different from the Trail Blazers' end-of-season keyboard schedule, in the remaining 6 games of the Nuggets, there are only 4 strong playoff-level teams. In the West, they are Mosaic, Spurs and Trail Blazers, and in the East, they are
Bucks.
If you take into account the strong west and weak east, the Bucks, with just over 30 wins, cannot pose much of a threat to the Nuggets. The only real threats are the Mosaic, Spurs and Trail Blazers, who are also from the Western Conference.
In other words, the Nuggets are very confident of winning three of their six games, and their final record is very likely to be 54 wins and 24 losses.
If the Trail Blazers want to secure fourth place, they need at least two more wins, which means at least 55 wins.
The next seven opponents are tough to crack, except for the Dallas Mavericks, who are slightly easier to deal with.
In fact, it is not difficult for the Trail Blazers to win 55 games. The difficulty lies in the variable-San Antonio Spurs.
In the remaining games between the Nuggets and Trail Blazers, one of their opponents is the Spurs...
Based on past experience, the Spurs are the team most likely to cause trouble, and the coaching staff headed by Simawicz will not let any team that threatens them have an easy time.
Unfortunately, the Spurs' regular season end day is the same as the Trail Blazers' No. 18, and the Spurs have more opponents than the Trail Blazers.
Like the Magic, the Kings, the Timberwolves... the Spurs' operating space is also more secure than that of the Trail Blazers. They are only 55 wins and 20 losses now. If they really want to cause trouble, the Spurs are fully capable.
There are currently rumors on the Internet that there are at least two or more teams in the Western Conference...
Under such circumstances, it's no wonder coach Terry Stotts is thinking about all sorts of things.
"Terry, actually I don't think we need to think so much at all. Let Wang and the others just let it go. What we are really looking forward to is the future, not the present. Blindly losing on purpose can easily damage the confidence of young players. We shouldn't
so……"
Beholder is a wise man, and after thinking about it, team general manager Nell Orsi said this to Terry Stotts.
"Winning in the future?"
Tristos nodded silently.
Also, even the Trail Blazers management, which has given great information to Wang Zelin, Aldridge, and Lillard, does not think the team's current structure can go far in the playoffs.
Instead of thinking wildly, it is better to let the players win more games and cultivate the team's confidence. Only in this way can the team's future be truly promising.
After the meeting, the coaching staff and the management finally reached an agreement: they would no longer be obsessed with picking opponents, and they would no longer be obsessed with how far the team could go in this year's playoffs, but would shift their focus to cultivating young people.
