"The Trail Blazers have won two consecutive games, and the third game of the series will be moved to the home court of the Denver Devils on April 26!" - Portland Weekly
"Reappearing a 20-10 scoring and rebounding double-double, Wang is the number one center!" - Bleachers
"117:93, the Nuggets trail 0:2 in the series!" - TNT
NBA official website: The Trail Blazers won the second series 117:93, while the Nuggets fell behind 0:2.
After the big lead was reversed in the first game, George Karl tried to use a fast-paced offense to overwhelm the Trail Blazers' position battle in the second game, but it proved to be ineffective.
The Trail Blazers ignored the Nuggets' fast break and focused on playing steadily, while the latter had no choice but to continue recklessly.
Therefore, when Wang Zelin and Aldridge jointly blocked 5 shots in the half, the Nuggets reduced their attack inside and turned to outside shots, bringing a carnival of iron to the Rose Garden Arena.
At the last moment, if coach Tristos hadn't been able to bear it and replaced all the main players, the point difference between the two teams might have widened to 30 points.
At the same time, the country is also in a state of excitement. In major basketball posts and forums, titles such as "Wang Zelin 20 10", "Trail Blazers 2:0 in the First Round"... on major portal websites have successfully dominated the rankings, and the search index remains high.
"Have you guys seen this? This is called strength!"
"Another 20 10, explaining what dominance is!"
"The Rookie of the Year is secured, is the Best Team still far behind?"
"I said enough is enough for you. We have just played two games. Is it necessary to brag like this?"
"This is Wang Mi's quality. After two good games, it's like winning a championship. Be cautious of starting well but then falling behind."
"..."
This is one of the characteristics of the Tieba forum. No matter what the topic is, each party has its own side. There will always be endless quarrels and endless disagreements.
Portland, USA.
Wang Zelin is sweating profusely in the gym. He has gradually adapted to the intensity of the playoffs. This game is much easier than the first game.
But he still couldn't slack off. In a few days, he would arrive at the Denver Plateau, which was their home court. It was inevitable that there would be a home whistle. He had to be strong in order to go further in the playoffs.
So he decided that before the playoffs ended, no matter whether it was traditional skills or cross-border battles, he had to restrain himself.
At 9 o'clock in the morning that day, Wang Zelin went downstairs and the Queen Mother had already prepared breakfast.
"Zelin, come and take a look. It's almost time to announce the players selected for the All-Rookie Team. Come on!"
The Queen Mother grabbed Wang Zelin and said anxiously.
"Mom, please relax. If your son and I can't be selected for the All-Rookie Team, I'm afraid not one of the rookies in this class will be qualified."
Having said that, Wang Zelin picked up an omelette and stuffed it into his mouth, then quickly came to the living room.
As the first round of the NBA playoffs is in full swing, the league has also begun to announce the major awards for this season's regular season.
After announcing awards such as Best Coach and Best Manager, the awards now announced are this year's Best Rookie First and Second Teams and the 12th Best Rookie of the Year.
Turning on the TV station, a certain Gao Chun of the NBA announced to the fans the list of the best rookie second team. They were Kyle Singler and Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons, Tyler Zeller of the Cavaliers, and the Warriors.
Yonas Valanciunas of the Dragons, Mike Kakey of the Bobcats.
Selected to the Rookie First Team are Bradley Beal of the Wizards, Harrison Barnes of the Warriors, Anthony Davis of the Hornets, and Lillard and Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers.
"What will be announced now is the Rookie of the Year winner for the 2012-13 season..."
Hearing this, countless fans sitting in front of the TV smiled knowingly. Before this award was announced, most fans had already determined who this award would belong to.
"He is... the young center Wang Ze Lin from the magical country of China who was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the eighth overall pick in the 12th draft!"
With averages of 22.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.9 blocks and 0.2 steals per game, Wang Zelin defeated Lillard and No. 1 pick Anthony Davis on the same team and won this year's Rookie of the Year.
After the Rookie of the Year, the league announced the Sixth Man of the Year. For this award, most people think that the most powerful contender is J.R. Smith of the Knicks.
This is also true. J.R. Smith averages 18.1 points per game, which is not fast compared to the shooting guards of most teams, plus 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals, overwhelming Garner Crawford and Ginobili.
He was successfully elected as the Sixth Man of the Year.
As perhaps the most iconic sharpshooter in NBA history, J.R. Smith in the highlights is simply as good as Joe Sike.
People say, "JR is not crazy, he is an All-Star every day!"
There is actually nothing wrong with this statement.
A non-nervous JR, his talent is at the All-Star level.
In fact, he was actually selected for the All-Star Game, and just last year... during the CBA All-Star Weekend, and after joining the CBA during last year's lockout season, he scored 14 three-pointers in a single game and 60 points in three quarters.
trace.
Ahem.
In fact, what Wang Zelin remembers most is the legendary Battle of 58...
April 27, 2009.
The Nuggets beat the Hornets by 58 points in Game 4 of the playoffs.
And the creator of this 58th point was JR Smith... In the last round of the Nuggets, JR hit a three-pointer, locking the point difference to 58.
Old Pao is in pain all over his body!
This year is JR's 9th year in the NBA. He seems to have reached the peak of his career, truly explaining to the world how terrifying a stable mental knife can be.
After nearly ten years of ups and downs in the NBA, this crazy knife finally won the only commendable award in his career. The moment he held the trophy high, people suddenly realized that this tough guy's eyes were already red.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The award announced after the Best Sixth Man is the Most Improved Player of the Season.
Seeing the players appearing on the screen, Wang Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly.
The new king of the Pacers, the big swing in fluorescent uniforms in the slam dunk contest, the warrior who was reborn after a broken leg - Paul George!
Of course, breaking a leg is something that happens in the future.
But I have to admit that due to Grant's injury, the Pacers established a lineup with Pickle as the core, which also kicked off the Pacers' battle against the Heat in the playoffs for three consecutive years.
The pickled peppers in the next few years will be really top notch!
And he is very well-deserved for the Player of the Year award. After averaging 12.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in all 82 regular season games in the 11-12 season, he averaged 17.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game this season.
4.1 assists and 1.8 steals, all aspects of personal data have increased to varying degrees.
In his previous life, Wang Zelin played 2K Online, a basketball game. During the years when he played the most enthusiastically, the spokesperson happened to be Paul George, so he naturally had a certain fondness for Paul George.
After several contests with the Pacers in the regular season, the two people who knew each other quite well exchanged numbers. Wang Zelin was still very happy for Paul George to win the award.
"George, congratulations! You are indeed a man who dares to wear the No. 24 jersey!"
"You're not bad either, you won the Rookie of the Year award."
Tsk tsk tsk!
Through the phone, Wang Zelin could feel Paul George drinking lemons.
He then remembered that Paul George only played 19 games in his rookie season. Most of the time he was a substitute, and he mainly did the backbreaking work of a top defensive player. In the end, he averaged 7:08, 3.7 rebounds, and was only selected for the All-NBA Team.
All-rookie second team.
It should be said that he is worthy of being a disciple of Mamba. He really has a tradition.
He was also a rookie on the bench, he also started on defense and... he also didn't win the Rookie of the Year award.
"I really envy you. You won the Best Improvement Award. Unlike me, I probably won't be able to win it in this life!"
Although Paul George didn't know the word Versailles, he still felt a strong sense of malice from someone: "Man, has anyone ever told you that sometimes you really deserve a beating..."
"Yes, but they can't beat me."
"..."
I don't know why, but after listening to Wang Yixi's words, Paul George's originally happy mood suddenly turned extremely bad.
What does "I have no hope of winning the Most Improved Player Award" mean?
What does "no one can beat me" mean?
He won this award for co-authorship, but did he get it wrong?
Toot toot…
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Wang Zelin blinked in confusion.
What's going on?
I think what I said is not wrong!
He has already scored 22 points and 12 rebounds in his debut. If he still wants to compete for the best improved player, he will have to average 30 points and 15 rebounds per game next season, which is still possible.
Originally, this award was just a consolation prize. It’s rare for me to be willing to comfort someone, so why wouldn’t I be happy with it?
"It seems that the ideological consciousness of the people of the United States needs to be improved. I don't know when they will be half as good as me, an outstanding young man with three good qualities. Alas!"
Wang Zelin thought secretly.
After the appetizers, the league will finally announce a relatively important award-the best defensive team, or DPOY.
One thing to say, before Gobert, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, entered the league, the value of this award was still quite high, and it was also recognized by the majority of fans.
It is far from being reduced to what a certain bathhouse basketball commentator said in the future, "The Defensive Player of the Year is just a small award, not as good as the Best Second Team!"
Before this award was announced, many fans speculated that boxing champion Tyson Chandler, who built a defensive formation for the Knicks, would only be able to achieve two consecutive wins.
In terms of personal data, Tyson Chandler's block score has declined this year, but the decline has been limited. Overall, he has maintained a double-double of points and rebounds per game and a value of 1 block.
The key is that the Knicks ranked second in the Eastern Conference this season, soaring from 36 wins last year to 54 wins.
As the defensive gatekeeper, Tyson Chandler definitely contributed.
Although in Wang Zelin's impression, this year's Defensive Player of the Year award goes to the Grizzlies' Marc Gasol, he feels that this time he can't say for sure.
In his previous life, the reason why Marc Gasol defeated Tyson Chandler and became the rare best defensive player in history that he was only selected for the defensive second team. In addition to the visual fatigue of the fans, it is inseparable from the fact that the Grizzlies went from 41 wins to 41 wins a year later.
A span of 56 wins.
Although they are only ranked fifth in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies' record is two more wins than the Knicks, who are second in the Eastern Conference.
The dominance of the team's record has become the last bargaining chip that overwhelms the balance.
However, because the Trail Blazers intervened, the Grizzlies' record was the same as the Knicks' 54 wins, so Wang Zelin estimated that the Grizzlies, no, it was Marc Gasol who was going to be unlucky.
Sure enough, when the league finally announced the awards, Knicks fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Tyson Chandler became the third player in the 21st century to achieve consecutive DOPYs after Ben Wallace and Howard.
