After experiencing a night full of passion and fighting in Rose Paradise, Wang Zelin's regular season journey is still continuing.
The battle for the Lakers' playoff tickets has reached a heated stage. Not only the United States, but also Chinese fans across the ocean are paying close attention to this matter.
After all, Kobe's popularity is definitely unique in China. Even Wang Zelin is a little behind. It is not impossible to catch up with Kobe... Wait someday and lead the team to win the first championship in his career as a yellow man.
, reach the top of the NBA!
Post bars of major forums
"Do you think Kobe and the Lakers still have a chance to enter the playoffs?" Netizen Passerby A knocked on the keyboard.
"On the surface, they are only one victory behind the Mosaic team, but in reality, it is not easy to catch up. The Mosaic team's bearded team is not a vegetarian!"
"One thing to say is that Kobe is really old. He will be 35 years old in a few months. The future of the NBA is destined to belong to young people. This is an irreversible trend."
"I totally agree with what you said above. Just talking about the shooting guard position, Mosaic team James Harden is definitely a dark horse this season. Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that he could evolve from last year's best 6th man to a shooting guard?
A top-5 player, in my opinion, in a few years, Beard will definitely become the strongest player at this position - a Lakers fan for ten years."
"Yes, yes, I feel the same way. Since Dayao and Maizi left Houston, I haven't watched much of the Mosaic team's games. The arrival of Big Beard this year has given me new hope for the Mosaic team."
"Ahem, shouldn't we be discussing the future of the Lakers? How come there has been an alternation of old and new players..."
"If you are awake upstairs, go catch up on your sleep. I just looked at the schedule. The Lakers' opponent in the next game is the Spurs. So Kobe is a famous Spurs killer, but I still don't think the Lakers can beat them.
, the ending is just how many points you lose!"
"Yeah, let's talk about which five players will be the best in the five positions in the NBA in the future. I'll go first. Center will definitely be the king..."
Rose Garden Arena.
"Wang, have you read the news? You are in the headlines again, the Western Conference Player of the Week in the second week of April! Alas, I don't know when I will be able to do it again..." Mike Roberts came over with the newspaper and said.
"There will be a chance," Wang Zelin took the newspaper, shrugged and said, "Find two more girls tonight and have a good sleep. You will have everything in your dreams."
"Hey, hey, hey, Wang! You're going too far. Look at poor Mike, you'll wake him up even if you're dreaming at night."
Batum walked over with a teasing smile on his face.
"Go on, they are all a bunch of bastards, don't say anything to anyone."
"Hahaha!"
At this time, Bishop David Vanderpool came over.
"Everyone is here. Why are you chatting so happily? Are you adding fuel to Wang's battle for the rebounding title?"
em... rebounding king?
Wang Zelin and all his teammates were instantly attracted by David Vanderpool's reputation as the rebounding champion, and they all turned their heads.
"...I said, don't you know about this?" David Vanderpool was speechless.
"Tell me, what's the battle for the rebounding title?"
"that is……"
After a while, everyone understood the ins and outs, and the scene suddenly became quiet, and once again their eyes were focused on Wang Zelin.
"Well, look at what I'm doing. I just found out."
Wang Zelin was also a little confused.
In fact, it’s not his fault. Too many things happened in March. There was a two-week break, sneakers were released, and various commercial contracts came one after another. Wang Zelin’s focus was basically on making W, but he had no interest in the battle for the data king.
Giving too much attention.
After listening to David Vanderpool's narration just now, he had a clear understanding of the NBA's current competition for various data rankings for the first time.
In general, there are 5 pieces of data ~ points, assists, rebounds, blocks, steals... As for the turnover list, high efficiency, various contribution values, etc., in addition to the team's coaching staff and management need to have a deep understanding of the player's situation,
Most fans focus on the rankings of the first five lists.
Among the five lists, the competition for the most watched score list is particularly fierce.
The first place is the Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, averaging 28.7 points per game; the second place is the Thunder star Kevin Durant, averaging 28.4 points per game; the third place is the Lakers star Kobe Bryant
Bryant, averaging 28 points per game.
These three are the only three players on the scoring list who average more than 28 points per game. Let’s not talk about the rest for now.
Recently, the fans of the three clubs have long started a mighty "rivalry" battle in order to compete for the scoring champion.
Regular season scoring champion ~ is definitely one of the top honors in the NBA honor system.
Looking at NBA history, the players who have won the scoring title are all the league's most popular superstars in that era.
Don't talk about whether there is any suspicion of data swiping. Even if you do swiping, you have to have enough strength to support it. Some people still can't swipe it if they give it a chance?
The typical representative is none other than the first point guard of a certain player in the future.
Players who have won the scoring title have almost all entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after retirement. During their player days, this honor is a symbol of strength; after retirement, it is reflected in the respect and recognition of the player by the fans and the media.
...At least in a certain season in a certain year, whoever wins the scoring title is one of the best players in the NBA.
Among the three fans, the one that made the most noise was Guami.
Looking at it, Carmelon Anthony, who is also a representative of the 2003 Platinum Generation, has the highest honor in his career so far. He is only a member of the second team of the All-NBA Team in the 2009-10 season. Compared with several other big players in the same class, he seems too much.
Cash-strapped.
Not to mention LeBron James, who has been soft-handed in receiving various top honors, and comparing it to pure bullying.
As for Dwyane Wade, who ranks second in honors, it is a bit embarrassing.
Many people agree: If Wade's peak period and Kobe's peak period did not overlap too much, his career would not be limited to two best teams and one scoring champion, and it might even be possible.
Won a regular season MVP.
Wade won the FMVP as early as 2006 and the AMVP in 2010. He was only one regular season MVP away from achieving the NBA's Best Player Grand Slam... This is the unspeakable pain in the hearts of countless Flash fans.
Of course, it also depends on who you compare with. You will definitely not be able to compete with Kobe, but if you compare with Anthony...
Even compared to Chris Bosh, who is probably between 40 and 60, Bosh still has the best second team around him, which is not necessarily that bad. Anthony can only barely beat one.
Compared with Kobe Bryant, who has won two scoring titles, and Durant, who has three consecutive scoring titles, Anthony has shown a must-win attitude in this season's scoring title battle, because this is greatly related to his NBA history.
Improvement of status.
In addition to the fierce competition for the scoring leader, the competition for the rebounding leader has become the second most popular among the five data kings... which surprised the outside world.
The last time the battle for the rebounding king was so popular was during the era of the four major centers. After the four major centers fell out one after another, the impact and controversy generated by the battle for the rebounding king has long lived up to what it was back then!
Unexpectedly, this year is different from the past. Regarding the ownership of the rebounding champion, the excitement is almost as high as that of the scoring champion.
Currently, the top rebounder list is Lakers center Dwight Howard, the man who could once replace James alone.
He played 72 regular season games this season, averaging 35.8 minutes per game, 3.3 offensive rebounds per game, 9.1 backcourt rebounds per game, and a total of 12.4 rebounds per game.
Ranked second is the center of the Trail Blazers, super rookie Wang Zelin who is at the peak of his career.
He played 68 regular season games this season, averaging 32.8 minutes per game, 4.2 offensive rebounds per game, 8 backcourt rebounds per game, and 12.3 rebounds per game, only 0.1 rebounds behind Howard.
It is worth mentioning that among active players, only Wang Zelin's offensive rebounds exceed 4 per game... In other words, he is the NBA offensive rebounding leader this season.
Ranking third is Nikola Cevic of the Magic.
He has played 72 games this season, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, 3.5 offensive rebounds per game, 8.4 defensive rebounds per game, and a total of 11.9 rebounds per game.
Considering that the Lakers and Trail Blazers have only four games left, and the Magic have only three games left, the battle for the rebounding king in the 2012-13 season will most likely occur between the Lakers' Howard and the Trail Blazers' Wang Zelin.
between.
"There seems to be no chance of overtaking Howard to become the rebounding leader."
Wang Zelin thought for a while and began to calculate a simple math problem.
After playing the remaining 4 games, he will play 72 times this season. He wants to increase his rebound average from 12.3 per game to 12.5 per game in only 4 games...
From an optimistic point of view, Howard keeps averaging 12.4 rebounds per game for the rest of the game, and he only needs to average 12.3 rebounds per game in the remaining games and get 3.5 more.
.
In this way, by the end of the regular season, his average rebounds per game will reach 12.5.
Of course, this is the most optimistic algorithm.
Although Howard has already won 4 rebounds, he is not like Kobe who is willing to hand over the data he has obtained to others, and the relationship between the two is not as good as it seems on the surface.
If you dance in private, you have to work hard on the court.
Therefore, Wang Zelin can be sure that in the next game, Howard will never be naive to see himself completing the lead. He needs to be prepared for a hard battle.
…
domestic.
Fans of Wang Zelin and Howard are already at odds because of the competition for the rebounding title.
Ever since Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, Chinese fans have been looking forward to him winning all the NBA's top honors as a yellow man.
The most typical representative is that during the Yao-Mai era, fans shouted "Mosaic championship!" every year... but they knelt down in the first round of the playoffs every year, which has almost become a norm.
In fact, until the end of Yao Ming's career, until the disintegration of Yao and Mai, until he wakes up from his dream, Yao Ming has never been able to be the king of the NBA's individual rankings.
The best time in the regular season MVP list was 12th in the 2008-09 season. In the rebounding list, he entered the top 10 in the 2005-06 and 2007-08 seasons respectively... but he was only on the edge of the top 10, far from the rebounding leader.
Far away.
In other words, Yao Ming has never even had the qualifications to be a strong contender for the king of individual rankings.
But this year, Wang Zelin received such an opportunity, how could he not make the domestic fans excited!
Actually.
Since the start of the regular season, Wang Zelin once topped the rebounding list with 30 rebounds in a single game and multiple 20 rebounds in a single game. Since then, the voice of "Wang Zelin aspires to become the NBA rebounding king!" has never stopped.
.
Wang Zelin heard about it at the time, but later he was busy with competitions and off-site business activities, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, the voice is getting louder and louder, and Wang Zelin himself has begun to have different ideas.
"Support the king to compete for the NBA rebounding title! If he can do what Yao couldn't do back then, the labor and management will be fans of him for the rest of his life!"
"Agree! Believe me, Your Majesty!"
"Eating, sleeping and playing World of Warcraft has always been a fine tradition for Chinese centers. Kill the little Warcraft and win the rebounding title!"
A splash from optimistic fans.
"Having said that, it's not easy for me to win the rebounding title this season!"
"Yes! He also had 0.2 rebounds with the Sparks, but there are only 4 games left in the game. After all, Howard is by no means an ordinary person!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Although Howard is no longer as brave as last year, averaging 14.5 per game, this monster is not a vegetarian. If Wang Zelin can explode, he must also be able to do it.
!”
These are the messages from rational fans.
"Don't be ridiculous, I really think that my spark is a vegetarian! I am the winner of three consecutive rebounds, how can I let those two idiots Wang Zelin surpass me?"
"That is, Yao Dasha still wants to count on Wang Zelin for something he didn't accomplish back then. Where is his brain?"
"It's all over. To tell you the truth, I am a reborn person. Not only did Wang Zelin fail to win the rebounding title, he also ruptured his Achilles tendon in the playoffs and was immediately reimbursed for the season. After finishing his rookie contract, he returned to the CBA in despair just like Kong Yiyi.
Become a local bully!"
The rest of the message was naturally typed by some kneeling guy.
…
On April 13th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. This was the last game of their five consecutive home games. After the game, they played two consecutive away games. If they want to return to their home court, they have to be regular.
The final game of the game will be against the Golden State Warriors at home.
"Director Zhang, the Trail Blazers will end the regular season with 4 games left this season. How much data do you think the king will get after the regular season?" Yang Yi asked sitting in the studio.
"Although there are still 4 games left, for the king, many honors are almost certain."
"for example?"
"For example, for the 2012-13 season, the Rookie of the Year, the All-Rookie First Team..." Coach Zhang paused slightly and continued slowly: "It is not impossible to be selected for the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team."
"..."
Good guy, I thought Coach Zhang would talk about the rebounding champion, but he talked to me about the best lineup...
Yang Yi was startled by Coach Zhang's bold remarks. After drinking tea, he played a wave of Wong Lo Kat commercials and asked curiously: "Why do you think the king may be selected for the best team and defensive team..."
As soon as Yang finished speaking, Director Zhang smiled and said: "It's too small, the pattern is too small! I didn't say it was possible, I said it was certain!"
