Wang Zelin didn't play for 26 minutes. He scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. He was so happy tonight. It was all thanks to Wall and a few Wizards' brainless outside rushes that made his statistics soar.
rise!
He got 3 blocks in 26 minutes. No one else has such defensive efficiency.
…
After defeating the Wizards, the Trail Blazers' record improved to 42 wins and 7 losses. After 49 games, the winning rate was as high as 70%... This is a good result that the Trail Blazers have never had before, and it has already broken the record set just last season.
The winning record in team history before the All-Star Game.
However, the schedule of three games in four days has to continue. After playing the Wizards and resting for a night, the Trail Blazers will immediately face a back-to-back away game against the New York Knicks.
At the same time, the game on the night of the 9th was also the last of the Trail Blazers' three consecutive games in the Eastern Conference. Although back-to-back games were a bit of a physical and mental challenge for the players, Wang Zelin and his teammates were still full of confidence in tonight's game.
Don't look at it. Not long ago, Anthony and Wang Zelin were elected as the Player of the Week in their respective theaters, but that was because the Knicks had lost too many games before, and it was too annoying for the fans.
No, after finally winning three games in a row, the league didn't arrange a match for Anthony, and by the way, to comfort the majority of New York fans, it's a bit unjustifiable.
As of now, the New York Knicks have played 50 games, one more than the Trail Blazers, but in terms of overall record, the two pairs are worlds apart.
It can be said that one is going up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and the other is going down to the five oceans to catch turtles!
The difference is huge!
21 wins and 29 losses is the current record of the Knicks.
Just this... actually ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference! And they are only one game away from the Atlanta Hawks, who are eighth in the Eastern Conference.
Therefore, after considering many factors, it is no wonder that the coaching staff headed by Terry Stotts has so much confidence and chose to turn a blind eye to the players' behavior of sneaking out to have fun last night.
However, the result was that when the Trail Blazers, with all their main players on the field, were full of confidence and wanted to win four consecutive games, they were defeated!
This time it’s really fun!
111 to 104, the Trail Blazers lost back-to-back to the Knicks in the last leg of three games in four days.
The Trail Blazers fell behind by as much as 23 points in the first three quarters tonight, trailing by a score of 70:93. Until the last quarter, Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Aldridge scored crazy points to help the team win a single quarter.
A crazy performance of 34 points. But the Knicks tenaciously scored 18 points in the final quarter. Relying on the advantage in front, they stopped until the end after losing 16 points in a single quarter and achieved victory.
Wang Zelin, like his teammates in the first three quarters, performed mediocrely and had average touch. He only managed a near-double-double of 11 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.
To be honest, this kind of data is very qualified for other players, and can even be said to be excellent. But for Wang Zelin, this is not the state he should have had in previous games.
In addition, Lillard played 27 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 13 points, but he failed to guard his opponent.
Falling behind by a big score in the first three quarters, Wang Zelin's 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter was wasted in the last quarter. Lillard hit three three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 9 points and 3 assists. Aldrie scored 10 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter.
Performance.
I have no choice but to blame the hole dug in front of me for being too big!
Over there with the Knicks.
Gua, who just won the best of the week a few days ago, had another sweet performance tonight. He scored 43 points on 17 of 34 shots from the field, beating all his opponents at the small forward position.
Anthony is undoubtedly the key factor in the Knicks' win tonight. In addition, the Knicks have another player who performed very well...
JR Smith!
JR, who came on as a substitute, seemed to have won a temporary Jordan experience card tonight. He attacked the basket in all kinds of crazy ways and even hit all kinds of weird fairy balls.
At 9 minutes and 11 seconds of the last quarter, Wang Zelin got his 6th foul of the game with a basket 2-1 and was sent off the court.
After the game, many media and fans reviewed the game and agreed that JR's 2-1 score was the fundamental factor that caused the Trail Blazers to fail to comeback in the end.
JR, who had 27 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, was named the best player of the game together with Anthony!
In today's game, both Anthony in the lineup and JR in the substitute lineup broke out, scoring 70 points in total, helping the Knicks defeat the Trail Blazers, and also made Wang Zelin's 23-15 double-double performance lose its luster.

The Trail Blazers players were helpless after losing to the Knicks, but they couldn't blame the home court. After returning to the hotel to reflect, everyone knew that it was all because they underestimated the opponent before the game.
Of the 14 players on the Trail Blazers' roster, at least 8 spent the night outside last night.
After all, you can only reap the consequences of what you sow!
Originally, Wang Zelin and his teammates wanted to win four consecutive games and end the first 50 games of the season with a winning rate of more than 70%. Now not only has the record become 42 wins and 2 losses, but the victory has also dropped to 62.8%!
Although they are still ranked first in the league, and the Trail Blazers are the only team among the 30 teams with a winning rate of more than 60%, they are not as enjoyable as the 70% winning rate seems.
However, the moon waxes and wanes, and there are always winners and losers in the game. This is inevitable.
I was filled with the melancholy of Versailles, and when I got up, I had no worries at all!
After losing the game, Wang Zelin and others were too embarrassed to go out to have fun anymore. They took a chartered flight overnight and left this sad place and returned to Portland.

Get up in the morning, embrace the sun, it’s another beautiful day...
When he woke up, Wang Zelin was full of energy again.
However, the arrival of a phone call changed his original training schedule.
"Wang, have you thought about the all-star performance? I have already discussed it with Kevin, Stephen and the others. How about finding a piece of land near New Orleans in advance as a training place for our dance group..."
"Of course, if you have a better place, we don't have any objections. Everything will be subject to your arrangements!"
Early in the morning, James called anxiously to ask Wang Zelin about the dance troupe's performance.
"Well..."
There was so much information all of a sudden that it really stumped Wang Zelin.
First of all, he was curious about when James had a private transaction with Love and elementary school student Curry.
Secondly, from what James said, it seems that someone has already reserved a place in New Orleans, where this year's All-Star Games will be held, in advance as a dedicated training ground for the dance group.
At a certain moment, Wang Zelin felt a flash of shame in his heart. He, the nominal leader of the dance team, seemed to be less interested than James.
Of course, the trace of guilt in my mind quickly passed away.
Now, he had to start thinking about the All-Stars' performance at the opening of the show.
This time, he wants to copy... what should he learn from?
It is precisely because there are so many excellent works in later generations that it is really difficult for people with mild choice syndrome like Wang Zelin.
Just having a house plan is not enough, he also needs a judge...
Hey, it seems that the guy in front of me is very suitable to act as a judge!
