As expected, Aldridge was the first to be criticized, and Aldridge lowered his head the entire time and did not reply a word.
Who made Zach Randolph score 41 points by himself last night? How embarrassing was Aldridge, who was facing him.
After criticizing Aldridge, Wang Zelin also needs to be honest.
As the last line of defense in the Trail Blazers, it is also the strongest line of defense. Last night, it was hammered to pieces by Zach Randolph alone.
It's hard to satisfy Terry Stotts with such a performance!
After the game, Wang Zelin really didn't expect that he had to overcome the difficulty of beating the King of Notre Dame back to back, but in the end he still fell at the feet of the Grizzlies.
He knew that this had a lot to do with the team's recent impetuous mentality, and because of this, he felt that the loss was not unfair!
If there can be a game that makes the whole Blazers team wake up, then this game will be worth losing.
Due to the relatively loose schedule of the season, the Trail Blazers have only played 62 regular season games so far, generally lagging behind other teams in the league by 1 to 2 games.
Now, it's time to pay off the debt.
In March's schedule, the Trail Blazers have 17 games scheduled, including back-to-back games. They just finished one game against the Mavericks not long ago, and they have three more back-to-back games waiting for them.
Such a schedule is so insane!
But there is no way, who made them owe too much debt in front of them.
What's more, in the next 13 games in March, there are still some strong teams at the playoff level.
Let’s not mention teams like the Warriors, Bulls, and Lakers. Today’s Spurs, and the Heat and Thunder in the middle of the season are all among the top teams in the playoffs.
March is destined to be a challenging month for the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin!
Therefore, they should face the next challenges with the fullest energy and pay attention to their current impetuous mentality.
Only in this way can they go further.
…
…
The San Antonio Spurs, as the only team with 60 wins this season in the original time and space, although they attracted a lot of attention due to the sudden emergence of the Portland Trail Blazers, they still shined with their own glory.
The older the ginger, the spicier it becomes!
This sentence has been perfectly interpreted by the Spurs.
Since entering March, the Spurs have become one of the most watched teams in the league, especially after that night on the 7th.
The Trail Blazers lost to the Grizzlies in Memphis, but the Spurs defeated the Heat's Big Three by 24 points with a score of 111:87 in Miami.
After this night, the Spurs became the most searched team among the 30 teams in the league... not one of them!
Tim Duncan, who made 9 of 13 shots, scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, has become a hotly discussed candidate in this storm.
When I came to Portland today, everyone was staring at Duncan all the time, looking forward to what kind of performance he would perform against Wang Zelin.
Is he still brave?
Still misfired on the spot!
Everything is full of unknowns and full of attractions at the same time.
Unfortunately, the truth is always surprising.
The outside world seems to have forgotten one thing. Duncan is no longer a young man, but an old man in his late forties. He had a small outburst against the Heat, but the price was that he had to rest for a few days before he could recover to his full potential.
Best condition.
When facing such a Spurs team, Wang Zelin dunked directly in the paint in this game.
After all, after Duncan, the twilight superstar, is unable to perform at his full capacity, the Spurs mainly rely on Splitter and Diaw to carry the inside.
Obviously, under the continuous impact of Wang Zelin and Adridge, these two people simply cannot withstand it!
For Split's small body, a plate of bean sprouts in front of Wang Zelin was not enough to fill his teeth.
As for Diaw, this guy's defense has never been worthy of high expectations. Organization and support are his biggest highlights and his greatest value in this Spurs team.
Unfortunately, all of this must be based on the premise that Duncan is at the core.
At the end of the game, Wang Zelin scored 27 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls in 33 minutes of playing time, with an overall shooting rate of 59%.
Efficient and comprehensive, except for 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, which are some flaws, the rest of the data are the performance that a comprehensive insider or even a super giant insider should have.
There is a saying that "Everything is difficult at the beginning!"
109:101, after taking down the first thorn in the side, in the next 4 games, except for the Golden State Warriors who showed some resistance, the Pelicans, Bucks and Hornets all won the other 3 games.
with no doubt.
With a 5-game winning streak and 55 wins and 12 losses, the Trail Blazers' regular season record has reached a daunting level.
The Spurs, who are ranked closest to them, have just broken through 50 wins, with a record of 52 wins and 18 losses.
Apart from the Trail Blazers and Spurs, there is no third team in the league with a record of over 50 wins.
Even the Thunder, who were closely behind the Spurs, are like this. Without Westbrook, it is really hurt for the Thunder.
Although Westbrook's style of play in the past was mainly to carry explosive bags, Durant still had to control the opponent at critical moments.
But the problem is, now there is no one to carry the explosives, so Durant needs to do it from beginning to end alone.
Just thinking about it makes me exhausted!
…
On the 16th, after easily defeating the Hornets, the Trail Blazers' journey to the East was not over.
Back-to-back on the 17th, they ushered in a truly heavyweight opponent-the Miami Heat!
Regardless of the fact that the Heat are not currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference and are defending the Pacers, as the defending champion and the winner of two consecutive championships in the past two seasons, the Heat are actually the strongest in the eyes of all the teams that aspire to the championship.
imaginary enemy.
Compared to other teams, the Heat have accumulated enough championship experience.
Everyone knows that the regular season and the playoffs are two stages.
As everyone knows, when comparing the first round, second round of the playoffs, and even the conference finals stage with the final championship stage, they give people completely different feelings.
If, that is to say, if...the Trail Blazers and the Heat both fought hard in their respective divisions this year and reached the championship stage. You don't have to think about it. You know, having won two consecutive championships, the Heat must be more confident and more confident.
that.
Therefore, the competition between the two teams in the regular season is particularly important.
As the strongest imaginary enemy, Terry Stotts attaches great importance to every game of the Heat. If they can defeat their opponents in the regular season, then even if they really meet on the championship stage in the future, the Heat's advantage will not necessarily be greater than theirs.
Where to go.
In fact, there is no need for the head coach to say much. Wang Zelin takes everything more seriously than he takes any other game. Because he knows better than anyone else that the Heat are the team that will finally break through the Eastern Conference this year.
As long as he can kill everyone in the Western Conference, the team that will eventually join the Trail Blazers will most likely be the Heat.
