Chapter 538 The first person in active service who is in question
Player data.
Wang Zelin had 31 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, Lillard had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, and Aldridge had 22 points and 6 rebounds.
After the game, Jokic was very excited in the locker room.
He played for 16 minutes in this game, making 3 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists very efficiently. His plus/minus value ranked first among all substitute players.
Even counting the main players, Jokic ranks third on the team behind Wang Zelin and Batum, who scored 18 points on 7-for-9 shooting.
After these three regular season games, Coach Terry basically has a good idea of the team's rotation.
In addition to the stable Five Tigers, Jokic, who showed a rich arsenal of weapons when he first entered the league, successfully squeezed out Adams and entered the rotation with his outstanding performance.
On the 3rd, the league arranged 4 games. Except for the score difference between the Trail Blazers and Warriors exceeding double digits, the remaining three games were inextricable throughout the whole process, and the score difference basically hovered around 5 points.
The first is the Kings vs. the Clippers. After four quarters of fighting, the Kings finally defeated the Clippers 98:92.
In this campaign, the two stars of the Kings shined. Rudy Gay scored 34 points and 7 rebounds, and also scored three assists and two blocks. The No. 1 pick, Wiggins, also performed very well, sending out 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
It was precisely with the outstanding performance of this pair of second and third positions that the Kings had the last laugh against the powerful Clippers.
The other two games are:
The Heat defeated the Raptors 107:102 at home and won two consecutive games. Wade scored a near triple-double of 19 11 7.
The New York Knicks also narrowly defeated the Hornets 96:93 at home under the leadership of Melo. It is worth mentioning that Melo Anthony scored 28 points in this game, making his career total score exceed the 20,000-point mark, and became the first in the history of the league.
The 44th Mr. "20,000 Points".
Excluding Ray Allen and Antawn Jamison, two 20,000-pointers who have yet to find a home in the trade market. Only 7 current players have scored more points than Anthony.
They are:
Points for Kobe Bryant!
Dirk Novi's score of the century!
Points for Kevin Garnett!
Points for Paul Pierce!
Score for Tim Duncan!
Points for LeBron James!
And Vince Carter’s points!
However, having a career score of over 20,000 points, for Anthony at this stage, is nothing more than becoming the 2003 Platinum Generation, the second player besides James to have a career total of over 20,000 points.
In any case, as one of the two unparalleled prides of the platinum generation in the past, Anthony has been left far behind by James. MVP, championship, and number one player in the league...
Until his career score exceeded 20,000 points, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as shortening the distance between him and James.
At 30 years and 157 days old, Anthony has also become the third active player in the league and the sixth youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 points. The ones ahead of him are:
Oscar Robert was born 30 years and 97 days old;
Michael Jordan's 29 years and 326 days;
Marshal Wilt Chamberlain was 29 years and 134 days old;
Kobe Bryant’s 29 years and 122 days;
And…LeBron James’ 28 years and 17 days!
And if he can continue to maintain his current scoring efficiency, Anthony is very likely to surpass the Knicks' all-time scoring leader, Patrick Ewing, who has scored a total of points in his career, and become the new Knicks' all-time scoring leader.
With the end of four games on November 3, Anthony successfully blocked the defending champion Trail Blazers' three consecutive victories and Wang Zelin's 30-15
The news about double pairs of large sizes has successfully topped the list of most searched items in the country.
For countless melons, it is also the Chinese New Year.
However, as the discussion of "20,000 points" became more and more popular, the focus of the outside world suddenly went astray.
In fact, thanks to the popularity of the term "20,000 points" caused by Anthony setting another career record, people counted the current NBA players and suddenly discovered an extremely shocking and dramatic event.
Among all the current 20,000-point players who are still capable of playing for NBA teams, the Portland Trail Blazers have already assembled two 20,000-point players in Kevin Garnett and Vince Carter. Among all teams in the league, they are also
It can be regarded as a scorpion's shit - the only one!
Therefore, although it seems that Garnett and Carter are obviously suspected of taking advantage of Anthony's popularity, no matter how they criticize and comment on major social media, it is difficult to stop Garnett and Carter from quickly posting on major social media.
Rising heat.
In a big circle, the focus of outside attention has returned to the defending champion Portland Trail Blazers.
"..."
Anthony expressed his regret!
Time flies, November 5th is here soon.
This is an extraordinary day.
Because there are 8 games arranged in the league, and among these 8 games, there is no shortage of classic dramas of strong dialogue.
Among them, the game that generated the most talk before the game was the Cleveland Warriors' away game against the defending champion Portland Trail Blazers.
To be precise, what people are most concerned about is the first battle between LeBron James and Wang Zelin in the new season.
Since last year's Finals, when the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin swept the two consecutive championship teams, the Heat, 4-0, and shaved off the heads of the Heat's Big Three, not only Wang Zelin has successfully secured his position amid discussions among the media and fans.
There are voices about the league's number one center position, and there are also voices about "Maybe the number one player in the league needs to be discussed?"
After all, the Heat's exit from the Finals was too embarrassing, losing directly to the Trail Blazers 0:4 and not even winning a single game.
As the Heat's absolute number one, LeBron James has naturally become the target of verbal criticism in media articles.
Who made you the boss?
There is a theory in the league called winner takes all!
Therefore, being the boss of a team is essentially a high-risk, high-reward project. If you can win, most of the profits will belong to you. But conversely, if you cannot win, you will naturally have to withstand a lot of public criticism.
This is just like in the 2007-08 season, when Kobe Bryant won the first regular season MVP trophy in his career, outside public opinion generally regarded him as the "first man in the league." However, the media and fans regarded Kobe as the first man in the league.
Naturally, high demands were made.
The result was that Kobe, who had just been named MVP in the regular season, ended up losing in the green-purple finals battle, which turned the endless praise he had received in the past into a cup of poison.
In the summer of 2008, it can be said that Kobe was so hacked that he could no longer take care of himself. It was not until he defeated the Celtics in the tiebreaker of the 2010 Finals that Kobe returned to his high-spirited state.
Therefore, being the boss of a team is definitely not that easy.
After winning the championship in 2012, James undoubtedly took over the throne of the league's number one player from Kobe Bryant. The subsequent successful defense of the title allowed him to further secure his throne until...
In the 2014 Finals, the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin swept them 4:0!
This is very embarrassing!
As the core boss of the defending champion, as the league's most popular player, to end a season in this way on the stage of the finals is indeed worth hundreds of millions of points.
It’s no wonder that this summer, there has been a heated discussion among the outside world about who is the number one player in the league.
Therefore, although the next game is just a regular season game, in the hearts of many people, the intensity of this contest is no less than a life and death battle.
Some people regard it as a preview of the 2014~2015 season finals. After all, the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers are the top two in the championship prediction rankings of many well-known and authoritative media such as ESPN, Bleachers, and Sports Illustrated.
Some people also regard it as a battle for the throne of the league's No. 1 player. It is just one game, and of course it cannot be directly considered that Wang Zelin has defeated James and successfully become the No. 1 player in the league.
But it is undeniable that if the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin have the upper hand against the Cavaliers led by James in several regular season games, then the discussion at this stage is very likely to become a reality in the future.
And the throne that James has only been sitting on for two years will become in danger.
Before the game, both the coaching staff and players of the two teams were under great pressure.
As for the other 7 games.
Games like the Mosaic vs. the Heat, the Thunder vs. the Raptors, and the Lakers vs. the Suns are all highly entertaining games on weekdays and attract a lot of attention from the media and fans.
But today, sorry...
All eyes are focused on Portland and the Rose Garden Arena, and everyone is looking forward to the battle.
…
4 pm.
"Guys, let's do it big tonight!"
After the training, Coach Terry shouted to the players.
As the team coach, when he shouted, the players all responded in unison.
The current Trail Blazers have a strong core, talented rookies, and many veterans sitting in the locker room. From the first regular season game of the new season, the team has shown a prosperous and positive outlook, no matter from various dimensions.
Look, the Trail Blazers are obviously stronger in the new season than last season.
Whether it is Wang Zelin, Lillard, Aldridge and others who have just won the championship, or the old Carter, Morrow and rookie Jokic who have just joined the Trail Blazers and have not yet tasted the championship, everyone knows that the championship is full of opportunities.
desire.
No matter who they are, no one can stop their desire for the championship!
Even if their opponent tonight is the menacing LeBron James!
Not to mention that they have Wang Zelin, and judging from yesterday’s game on the 4th, the Cavaliers’ Big Three are not as strong as they seem from the outside world.
On the 4th, the regular season continued, and the Cavaliers went to Salt Lake City for a showdown with the Jazz.
In this game, although Irving scored 34 points to perform a passionate scoring feast, the Jazz's inside performance was even more violent, and they beat the Cavaliers so hard that Trevor Booker made an excessive foul at the last moment, and LeBron was enraged.
My husband had a conflict with him on the spot and almost got into a fight.
The Cavaliers lost to the Jazz, and their first two consecutive victories were ended. The most criticized thing after the game was the key shot that James missed at the moment of life and death. Even after that... James chased 6 consecutive goals in just 11 seconds.
Divide the teams into equalizers.
Because of the foreshadowing of the missed key shot, it directly led to the best shot of the game.
Gordon Hayward!
Like a hero descending from heaven, he stood up at the last moment and hit the buzzer-beating shot. After the whistle, James put his hands on his hips and helplessly looked up at the dome of the Jazz home arena at a 45-degree angle. The scene swept the entire country.
On the bright side, it was the three Jazz teams that used their lives to defeat the Cavaliers, who had a stronger card.
But when it came to the media, the center of public opinion suddenly became that Hayward defeated James!
en, competitive sports are so cruel.
Again, it’s not that easy to be the boss.
Once you lose, be mentally prepared to be criticized mercilessly.
After losing to the Jazz, the Cavaliers' winning streak was inevitably interrupted, and tonight they will come to Portland and the Rose Garden Arena to have a game with the Trail Blazers, who are significantly stronger than the Jazz.
I know it will be a passionate contest throughout.
On the road to success, there are three elements: timing, location, and people. From the current point of view, the Trail Blazers have covered almost everything on the road to success tonight.
Therefore, during the pre-game interview, all the Trail Blazers players looked extremely proud.
"What does it mean to win three consecutive games? What does it matter to the Cavaliers? Our goal has always been only one, and that is the championship!"
Wang Zelin, the core player of the Trail Blazers, was domineering before the game, which was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly raising the heat of the game that was already attracting much attention from the outside world.
In this game, will the Cavaliers, who played consecutive away games, break the doubts from the outside world, or will the Trail Blazers have the last laugh? It's really exciting!
Before the game started, players from both teams made final preparations in the locker room.
