Although Wang Zelin has a strong physique, especially his strong waist and abdominal strength, which makes his combat effectiveness extraordinary, you can think of Jenna's physical recovery speed yesterday, which fully proves that truth:
There are no damaged fields, only exhausted cows!
As a last resort, he rejected Jenna on the grounds of tonight's Christmas battle.
Back to this year’s Christmas theme.
On Christmas Eve in 2014, the league arranged five groups of Christmas games.
Sorted by time they are:
Thunder VS Knicks;
Heat VS Cavaliers;
Lakers VS Bulls
Spurs VS Trail Blazers;
Warriors VS Clippers!
Among these five sets of matchups, the most popular ones were when James led the team to Miami to face off against his old club, and when Wang Zelin led the Trail Blazers to the Holy City again to challenge the traditional powerhouse Spurs away from home.
Ranked second is the Lakers VS Bulls. Don’t ask why, just one Kobe Bryant is enough to crush all doubts;
As well as the Warriors VS Clippers, the Warriors currently have a record of 24 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference; the Clippers have a record of 22 wins and 6 losses, both teams are ranked among the top four in the Western Conference, and the Wild League is an absolute strong team.
.
The least popular matchup should be the Thunder vs. Knicks matchup. The league’s original plan was for a direct showdown between Durant and Anthony, the two scoring champions. However, the plan failed to keep up with the change and both of them were injured...
This left the senior management completely at a loss.
If I had known this, it would have been better to switch to Thunder Mosaic. In this way, the title could still read "The contest between the three Thunder boys in the past" and still have some popularity.
It's a pity that it can't be replaced!
At 14:00 in the afternoon, the Trail Blazers came to San Antonio and entered a state of active preparation.
Their old rival, the Spurs, currently have a record of 20 wins and 9 losses and are still ranked sixth in the Western Conference.
However, they are now only one win away from the Grizzlies in front of them. This kind of direct confrontation will affect their subsequent ranking.
This is especially true for the Spurs. Unlike the Trail Blazers, even if they lose this game, the Warriors, who are second in the Western Conference, will not be able to catch up with them for the time being. If they lose, not only will they have no hope of catching up with the Grizzlies, but they will also have three teams behind them.
The negative Lakers are watching with eager eyes!
In the same division, if they lose another game, if they have the same record as the Trail Blazers at the end of the season, then their ranking will be ranked behind.
This kind of thing is not impossible.
Don't look at the fact that fans are always joking that Duncan is old again this year and the Spurs are no longer good. Such words are just for today and no one will take them seriously.
As long as the Spurs' core GDP trio is still there, they will always be a solid favorite to win the championship, unless they fail to make the playoffs. Once they do, no matter who encounters them, they will have a headache.
Therefore, both the Trail Blazers and the Spurs must win this game.
On the match day, the Spurs held an open training session.
Although there is a lot of pressure, the Spurs players all have smiles on their faces, which is also the team culture of this team.
It was cold on the court, but smiling off the court.
Stop looking, I’m talking about you, the flying devil of Victor Forest!
This is the only example in history where someone could be ejected and suspended even though he was smiling and laughing on the sidelines.
After the training, Simavici accepted interviews with the media after the training.
The focus of the questions is mainly on two.
First, facing the same opponent on Christmas Day, can the Spurs win this year?
The second thing is about Wang Zelin who performed very well in these two games.
"Yes, we will win this game, which is very important to us. After losing last year, my players and I are always thinking about how to wash away the shame this year."
Facing our first question, this old and crooked guy behaved very seriously at first.
Sure enough, when this kind of answer came out of Simawei's mouth, everyone felt strange. However, when he answered the second question, the reporters knew that this trip was not in vain.
This little old man is still so crooked, but it's just a little later than expected.
"Yes, as you said, Wang is now the best inside man in the league, and even the best player. You can't guard him in single defense, especially since he has developed that damn sky hook.
…”
g!Duang!
Halfway through, he took a sip of red wine and then continued: "But this is my territory. No one has ever been able to score 50 points on my territory. Never before, and never will in the future!"
"What if he can score another 50 tonight?"
A reporter asked, and this is also a hot topic discussed by fans on major social media.
Sima Weiqi put away the smile on his face, wiped the corners of his mouth again, and shook his head seriously:
"If Tim and the others let Wang get this score tonight, then I will kick their butts one by one, and then I will never touch red wine again before winning the championship this year!"
He didn't answer directly, but the meaning behind his words was very clear and simple. The Spurs would not allow someone to score 50 points on their heads, even if that man was Wang Zelin!
Before the game, Wang Zelin was surfing the Internet after training and saw Sima Wei's interview, which made him laugh.
However, the other party underestimated his determination.
Ever since he knew that his current scoring average exceeded 30 and he was very likely to win the scoring title this season, his mood changed.
Before his teammates were not injured, he still thought that he could just mess around in the regular season. Anyway, the Blazers were already guaranteed to be in the playoffs. But it is different now. Since the team needs him to score high points to win, and while scoring high points,
He can also touch the crown of scoring champion, so he has no reason not to fight for it.
You have to know, that's the scoring champion!
Among the regular season honors, it is the league's top honor second only to MVP. There has been one scoring champion in the past, and his energy in the league during his peak period was definitely a turbulent level.
In the history of the NBA, there have only been five times in the history of the NBA that the master who can complete the MVP, scoring title and FMVP in a single season has appeared, and four of them were done by the same person...
Mike·I’m everywhere·Jordan: “Yes, it’s right down there!”
Shark O'Neal: "Oh, I can't believe it. I did it once too!"
As long as Wang Zelin can do it, whether it is his influence among the current fan base or his future striving for historical status, it will be very beneficial for him to compete with all the great gods.
As we all know, the NBA has a default philosophy, that is, it is difficult to win a championship for a single award, especially for the scoring champion. All the scoring champions in the past ten years have been wiped out!
It should even be said that of the many scoring champions in NBA history, more than 90% of them fell in the season in which they won the scoring title and failed to reach the top.
Only four people broke this vicious circle!
From ancient times to the present, the four people are George McCann who has done it once, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has done it once, O'Neal has done it once, and the hot man himself has done it six times...
McCann, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal expressed their concern!
The three of them together could not get as much as a hot man!
Therefore, considering the high gold content represented by the scoring champion who won the championship, Wang Zelin was even more motivated.
What others can't do doesn't mean he can't do it either.
What's more, four gods have done it before, so he doesn't think he is any worse than others?
He even wanted to...
That night, the game between the Spurs and Trail Blazers officially kicked off at the AT&T Center Arena!
Both sides are missing players in this game.
For the Spurs, according to the injury report, Tony Parker suffered a hamstring injury and appeared on the 12-man roster tonight, which means he may return tonight, but no one knows what his status will be.
In addition, Patty Mills is recovering from shoulder surgery and is not expected to return until mid-January next year; and Kawhi Leonard has sprained his right thumb and will miss the Christmas game.
For the Trail Blazers, Aldridge and Batum are still absent, and veteran Garnett has hip discomfort.
Judging from the impact of missing players, the Blazers are missing Aldridge, one of the core players, which directly affects their offensive firepower.
However, the Spurs are also missing an outside core in Leonard, especially Leonard is still the Spurs' absolute defensive gate on the outside. Without him, they only rely on Danny Green, Tony Parker, Belinelli and Ginobili.
These few, the quality of the Spurs' perimeter defense is worrying.
So on paper, the two teams are almost even.
During the opening ceremony, when Wang Zelin, the boss of the visiting team, made his final appearance, the boos at the venue were surprisingly high.
There are many factors involved.
There was the Spurs who were beaten violently in the Christmas game last year; there was the Spurs' bald head on the stage of the Western Conference Finals; there was the heartfelt fear of Wang Zelin's recent hot state...
Various factors were mixed together, making the scene more shouting than ever before, and it reached its peak at the beginning.
Sima Wei couldn't help but look up and look around. He understood that the louder the home team fans booed, it just showed that they attached great importance to the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin.
Affected by the Spurs team culture, Spurs fans are actually quite boring at ordinary times. Such a fanatical start is not uncommon in his impression.
The last player to cause such a sensation was Kobe Bryant!
Kobe Bryant has a title that makes countless Spurs people angry - "The Spurs Killer!"
Humph, having one Kobe is enough, don’t even think about becoming the next one.
Sima Weiwei thought so.
After the opening ceremony, players from both teams appeared one after another.
Spurs: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Marco Belinelli, Diego Splitter, Tim Duncan.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Richard Jefferson, Batum, Jokic, Wang Zelin.
As a former Spurs player, Richard Jefferson was assigned a position tonight. Coach Terry’s arrangement can not only be seen as respect for the new teammates, but also a way to observe how much skill the former dunk king has left.
become.
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and both sides jumped the ball.
