Chapter 729 Continuous winning streak, rushing to the Holy City
Beep~~~
Continuous timeouts, yes, the Pistons called another timeout.
The Pistons fans were puzzled by this, but they understood immediately. When they saw Van Gundy calling up the substitutes, they knew he was about to give up the game.
The opponent's momentum was so strong that Van Gundy knew that this game could no longer be won, so he replaced the main players one after another.
However, they were relieved and didn't have to worry about the team being abused anymore.
Barkley said regretfully: "With about half a quarter left, the Pistons unilaterally chose to surrender, which also means that the game ended early. There is a high probability that we will not see Wang score more than 60!"
Hearing this, Kenny Smith smiled: "Hey, man, the Pistons are already miserable enough, and you have to rub salt in the wound. Besides, 50 quadruple-doubles is already outrageous. If we continue to play, I'm worried about Wang and Pioneer."
The players will not be able to walk out of the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight."
"Hahaha……"
Barkley burst into laughter instantly.
The camera is brought to the scene.
The Pistons surrendered, and Wang Zelin was too embarrassed to force another 60 points on the Pistons. In the next round, the Blazers' coach Terry also called a timeout.
After the timeout, Pistons fans in the Palace Arena at Auburn Hills breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wang Zelin did not get up again.
At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Pistons 118-88, 30 points on the road, successfully winning their first 7 consecutive victories!
Wang Zelin was elected the best of the game. His personal data was finally fixed at a super quadruple-double of 50 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks and 2 steals.
During the on-site interview session, all the media came forward and surrounded the Trail Blazers rest area.
When Buckley and Kenny Smith rushed over after finishing the live broadcast, they could no longer get close to Wang Zelin, and Zhang Lili and his young apprentice Zhang Manyuan could only stay outside.
"Wang, someone online commented that today's four pairs were faked. What do you think of this?" a reporter asked.
"Haha." Wang Zelin sneered, and then replied: "In my opinion, every superstar is a big data brush, why should I be an exception?"
The media reporters immediately laughed.
"Wang, do you have any celebration plans tonight?"
Buckley shouted from a distance.
"Brother, someone is treating you tonight. How about I ask you if he is willing to give you another seat?" Wang Zelin said with a smile.
"Haha, I think he would be very happy."
Of course Barkley knew who Wang Zelin was talking about. In fact, at the end of halftime, media reporters knew about the bet between Wang Zelin and Drummond.
He simply ended the interview with the best player on the scene, and then quickly returned to the locker room. He checked his phone and saw text messages from friends such as Curry, Thompson, Oladipo and Butler.
After replying one by one, I put down my phone and went to take a shower.
At this time, there was already an uproar on major social media.
…
…
"The King of China scored 50 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks! A super quadruple-double led the team to victory!" - "The New York Times"
"The first man in the new century! After 21 years, the miracle of four pairs returns to the league!" - "Los Angeles Times"
"Lost to the Kings! Lost to a quadruple-double! The Pistons did not lose unfairly in this game!" - "Bleachers"
"Two consecutive 50 games! 7 consecutive wins in the beginning! Oh my god, who else can stop this Portland army from advancing!" - "Sports Illustrated"
In addition to the media, some legendary celebrities also expressed their views.
"He's the best 5 I've ever seen! I think he's better than Shaq!" - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
"The word dominance is most appropriate for kings!" - Bill Walton
"
What? Someone got a quadruple-double...oh, it was Wang who got it, so that’s okay! You are right, maybe Wang is really more suitable for the praise of dominance than me!" - O'Neal
…
The pioneers are really strong!
Perhaps this is the true inner feeling of people after watching last night's game.
You know, based on the Pistons' performance in these few games, they can basically confirm a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are no longer the weak team they were in previous seasons.
But just like this, a team that has always had playoff potential in the Eastern Conference was actually beaten by the Trail Blazers by a full 30 points. Even the leader, Wang Zelin, produced the only quadruple-double in the 21st century.
When the four pairs swept across the Internet, the kings and black men fell silent for an instant.
This meow, can you really eat people?
…
…
The Lakers also have a game scheduled for today. Their opponent is the league's largest defensive team, the New York Knicks.
The Knicks got off to a very bad start this year, with only 1 win and 5 losses, and it looked like they were playing at a bad pace again.
Of course, this is also in line with the Knicks' consistent resume.
In the end, Lakers leader Kobe Bryant led the team to a 109:95 victory over the Knicks in an away game. The team's record improved to 5 wins and 2 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.
Ahead of them are the Trail Blazers and Warriors, who both have 7 consecutive victories, and the Thunder, which has 6 wins and 1 loss. The Lakers also have a very strong start this year.
However, compared with the strong start, what people are more concerned about this season is not the current record of the Lakers, but the topic that Kobe is about to surpass Karl Malone and become second in the scoring list, which has caused heated discussions among the media and fans.
In this time and space, Kobe has not suffered a serious Achilles tendon tear. He has maintained a good attendance rate in the past two seasons. He played a total of 78 games in the 2013-14 season, averaging 25 points per game;
In the 14-15 season, he played a total of 80 games, averaging 23 points per game. Adding in the accumulated points gained in the previous 17 seasons, after the end of last season, Kobe's career total points have exceeded the point mark, and the accumulated points are 0.
Counting the victory over the Knicks just now, Kobe has averaged 28 points per game in the past 7 regular season games, and his career scoring milestone has also been successfully reached. He is second behind Karl Malone on the all-time scoring list.
The score has improved a step further.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Objectively speaking, it is still very difficult for Kobe to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but if he can score 1,522 points in the regular season this season, he can successfully surpass Karl Malone.
, ranking second on the all-time scoring list.
Nowadays, the general public opinion from the outside world is that there is a high probability that he will surpass Karl Malone this season, because during the regular season, he only needs to average 20 points per game and ensure attendance in 76 games to achieve this goal.
Even though the Lakers have now acquired Paul, the ball-handling core, which has allowed Kobe to further develop into an extremely functional catch-and-shoot style, this does not prevent Kobe from still being a member of the 20-point club in the regular season.
By the way, Kobe, who is already 37 years old, extended his contract for another two years after the team acquired Chris Paul this summer.
And the reason why he made this choice was that he didn't have the idea of hitting the all-time scoring list in his heart.
If all goes well, by the end of this season, Kobe will be able to surpass Karl Malone, and his personal total points will also exceed the point mark. Then the only thing standing in front of him will be the points of the legendary "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
As long as he doesn't suffer serious injuries, Kobe's perimeter offensive skills, which are among the best in history, will be enough for him to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the all-time scoring leader in two seasons!
As Wang Zelin said before, every NBA superstar is a big brush, including the NBA itself, which is a super database.
The championship is data! The MVP is data! The best lineup is data! The historical status is also data!
Even player annual salaries are part of the NBA database.
Admit it, most people are selfish, and every move is often driven by desire. Therefore, it is reasonable for Kobe to choose to make an appointment in advance.
Facing the temptation of being the NBA's all-time scoring leader, it would be the same no matter who you replace him with.
At the same time, Kobe's choice to renew his contract put an end to the similar speculations made by many experts before the start of the season that "Kobe is done with this matter and is very likely to choose to retire." It also stabilized the Lakers' military morale and made the team more motivated to move forward.
That's enough.
Now that Kobe has chosen to renew his contract, scoring a measly 2,783 points in the next three seasons will not be a problem at all!
The team doesn't need to make concessions for Kobe to break the record, but it's also conducive to renewing Paul's contract and cultivating new players. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
The Lakers started with 5 wins and 2 losses and quickly dominated the public opinion. Wang Zelin read the analysis of various experts... I didn't expect that whether Kobe Bryant renewed his contract would have such a far-reaching impact, but it has nothing to do with their Trail Blazers.
, they were on their way to Denver.
After three consecutive home games at the beginning, it was fun, and then came the schedule of alternating home and away games.
The schedule is very easy, but the Trail Blazers have a lot to do. You must know that this is the year of their dynasty.
Looking back at past dynasty teams, taking Joe God and his Bulls dynasty as an example, the last year of a triple dynasty is often the most difficult.
Why? Because there are so many things to consider.
The first is to renew the player's contract. After achieving such results, the players in the team will inevitably have an inflated mentality. Naturally, they want to gain both fame and wealth, and get a big contract after winning the championship.
Matthews' choice is the best explanation.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers are probably the youngest quasi-dynasty team in history. The core leader Wang Zelin is not yet 25, so he is too young.
Aldridge, the oldest member of the main roster, is only in his thirties. In addition, he was selected and trained by the team and has strong emotions. Faced with the temptation of establishing a dynasty, he chose to stay with the team.
Then there is the decline in desire for championships, especially for some role players. No matter how many championships they win, they cannot stay at a historical low. Therefore, now that they have championship rings, what they want to pursue... is only green money.
!
In the most evil capitalist country, the United States, the mainstream trend here is to look forward. Even if you don't look forward, people will think that you may have a serious illness, and then they will decisively stay away from you.
How much money can a professional athlete make in his career, especially a role player who is not a star but just a sideshow?
Instead of thinking about those illusory things, why not take advantage of the fact that you have just won the championship and your net worth is high, shout out the title team puzzle, and then find a team that is a big rival to make a profit. Isn't it delicious?
In addition, there are a series of fatigue, injuries, etc., these problems are all visible.
But fortunately, compared with previous dynasty teams, the Trail Blazers are young enough, and daring to think and act is the common label of every young person.
How else to say that youth has no limits!
…
After arriving in Denver on the 10th, Wang Zelin did not go out for a stroll, mainly because there was nothing to see in Denver itself. It was better to stay in the hotel, play video games, and then prepare for the war with peace of mind.
Tomorrow night's opponent, the Nuggets, can only be said to be average in strength at the moment, and it's hard to even find out who their star player is, because the star quality of this team is so scarce.
Let’s not talk about the substitute lineup. Among the main lineup, the only ones Wang Zelin is familiar with are Orc Farid and his former teammate JJ Hickson.
Oh, by the way, there's that Italian cannon Gallinari.
Then, it was gone.
…
The next day, media around the world were still preaching about the fifth quadruple-double in history.
In the evening, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets begins.
At the entrance of the players' tunnel, the two teams met. Hickson came out of the queue and said hello to his former teammates one by one, and then reluctantly returned to the team.
If I had not left the team, I would probably have two championship rings, right?
At this time, no one knew the complex emotions in the heart of this league bum.
This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss.
As he gets older, Hickson's athletic ability has declined. He has gone from the double-double Mr. Wang Zelin first saw to a substitute player averaging 6.4 per game.
Thinking about anything else now is just a fantasy. It is better to continue thinking about how to make a living in the NBA.
At 19:00 in the evening, the game starts.
Although Wang Zelin had two consecutive 50-point games and a super quadruple-double in this game, it attracted a lot of attention, but the strength of the Nuggets is obviously not worthy of such high popularity.
After only half a half, the game was completely ruined.
At 61:35, the Trail Blazers led the Nuggets by a full 26 points.
Entering the third quarter, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Wang Zelin only played for less than 5 minutes. He was unstoppable on the offensive end and overwhelming on the defensive end, suddenly widening the point difference to 40 points.
Afterwards, the game all turned into garbage time. Coach Terry also took the opportunity to verify the new tactics in his mind, and at the same time, let the rookie Harrell speed up his integration through the game.
In the end, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Nuggets 118:94 on the road and won their first 8 consecutive games.
In this game, Wang Zelin only played for 25 minutes. He could not even clock in three quarters, but he still easily got a 30-12 large double-double, with full efficiency.
In the end, he was once again selected as the best player in the game.
After leaving the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest, and then they will face another powerful team in the Western Conference-the San Antonio Spurs!
At the beginning of almost every season, someone always puts forward the argument that "GDP is another year older."
But the fact is that the Spurs currently rank among the top eight in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses.
You call this another year older?
After being deceived for so many years, a fool fell for it.
