With almost the same playing time, Wang Zelin's performance was also very impressive, scoring a double-double of 25 points and 20 rebounds, plus 6 assists, 15 blocks and 3 steals...
Coupled with Aldridge's 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, and Jokic's 15 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, the Trail Blazers won a good start after the All-Star Game.
In this direct match, although Curry also surrendered a good performance of 33 points and 8 assists, the Warriors could not hold back and were double-killed by the Trail Blazers in a single season. With these two victories, Wang Zelin took a slight advantage in the MVP competition.
Advantage.
This season, every player on the Trail Blazers has their own goals. For example, Lillard wants to compete for the assists title, Jokic wants to compete for the best sixth man, and Wang Zelin wants to have the honorary Grand Slam for three consecutive seasons...
…Threading these goals together and forming a positive goal, we are making steady progress!
…
…
In the next more than a week, Wang Zelin led the Blazers at home and defeated the enemies one by one.
The period just beginning at the end of the season, that is, the second half of February, is quite beneficial to the Trail Blazers because they will have five consecutive home games.
I originally thought that the hardest bones would be the Warriors, but unexpectedly, Jokic's comeback made the whole team work together, ushered in a big explosion, and easily destroyed the opponent.
Relying on the lingering power of their victory over the Warriors, the Trail Blazers' morale was so high in the next four home games that they defeated their opponents in all games.
No. 22, defeated the Jazz easily at 115:101.
On the 25th, 112:84, the game against the Nets easily clocked out in the third quarter.
On the 27th, relying on Wang Zelin's final alley-oop, he narrowly defeated the Bulls 115:113.
On the 28th, in the final game at the end of the month, against the Pacers led by George, the defensive intensity was directly at full strength, successfully limiting George to only 14 points in the game, even the team's highest scorer Monta Ellis
, but only 18 points were recorded.
In the end, the Trail Blazers easily won their last victory in February with a score of 121:102 at home.
At this point, the Trail Blazers' February schedule has been completed. This month they achieved an undefeated record and a 10-game winning streak.
If you add in the 4-game winning streak at the end of January, it would be 11 consecutive wins!
First, on March 1st, the league announced the Player of the Month for the Eastern and Western Conferences for the previous month.
Over in the East, the Player of the Month was awarded to James.
Throughout February, he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to play 12 games, which should be considered the team that played the most games in February among all teams in the league, and their record was 8 wins and 4 losses, which is quite good.
Especially after the All-Star Game, the thirty-year-old man said that he no longer pretended and was going to show off his cards. He directly led the Cavaliers to a six-game winning streak and continued to consolidate their No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.
In terms of personal data, he averaged 24.8 points per game.
7.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.5 blocks. Rounded up, it’s 25 7 7, which is very James’ data!
By the way, this is the first time James has won the best of the month this season, which makes his voice in the MVP competition begin to ring again.
However, James is very relaxed. He probably knows very well that at his age, it is impossible to get a lot of support from the league, and the competition for the honor of regular season MVP has long been irrelevant to him.
Instead of thinking about those imaginary things, it is better to think about how to face the Trail Blazers and Warriors in this year's finals.
Yes, the thirty-year-old man is so heroic!
Even though James is one year older, in his heart, the entire east is his back garden, allowing him to penetrate as he pleases.
Getting out of the Eastern Conference is just the minimum goal for James and the Cavaliers this season. The real highlight in their minds is the finals!
And it is undeniable that the Western Conference has entered a two-power dominance pattern. The Trail Blazers and Warriors are in a league of their own, and then there are other teams.
How come these young people are more ruthless than the others?
Thinking of the No. 36 in Portland and the No. 30 in California, Zhan suddenly felt a pain in his liver.
Especially when he saw the winner of the Western Conference Player of the Month announced on the official website, the pain immediately intensified.
In the Western Conference, Wang Zelin was once again awarded the Player of the Month for February as expected.
If Curry, who led the team to 5 consecutive victories before the All-Star Weekend, could put some pressure on him, then in the first game after February, when the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors again, Curry completely lost the competition.
force.
When the official website announced the news, countless Kumi couldn't help but started to cry.
After all, Curry's personal performance during February was astonishing.
Leading the team to a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, his personal data averaged 36.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.3 blocks per game. His condition can be said to be superb.
In addition, the shooting rate was 54.9%, the three-point shooting rate was 53.6%, and the shooting rate was 87.5%. The offensive efficiency was simply unmatched.
No matter what, the opponent has a Gundam!
In February, Wang Zelin still averaged 37 points, 18 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals per game, once again crushing the league.
During this period, he contributed a 58-point performance today, three 40-point games, four 30-point games and two 20-point games.
Except for the game against the Warriors due to Lillard's outburst, which won him the Player of the Game due to his strength, Wang Zelin won the Player of the Game in the remaining 9 games.
As for offensive efficiency, I'm sorry, even if he shoots as accurately as Curry, it's impossible to compete with an inside player for efficiency, let alone an active center like Wang Zelin!
…
After learning from the official website that he once again defeated Curry and won the Best of the Month award, Wang Zelin didn't want to pay attention to the heated discussion on the Internet!
After entering March, the team first took a day off, and then they will face a brutal wave of six consecutive away games.
emmm, after a winning streak comes a losing streak, isn’t this arrangement very reasonable?
Wang said: "It's reasonable! This is so reasonable...it's so reasonable!"
For the first five games of their six-game away streak, the Trail Blazers had to go to the Eastern Conference to fight against strong and weak opponents. After the end of their five-game consecutive away streak in the Eastern Conference, the league also arranged for the Golden State Warriors to be the last stop of this crazy wave of consecutive away games.
I really think their record is too good.
Wang Zelin complained crazily in his heart.
However, complaints are complaints, the ball still has to be scored!
…
…
The next morning, Wang Zelin came to New York with the team.
The two veterans Carter and Jefferson went directly back to Portland. They will not play in tonight's game against the Knicks. They only need to play two games in the next five away games.
After all, they are all veterans,
As the season progresses, from time to time it is reported that someone from a certain team is injured again, which makes many teams panic during this period. Therefore, for the sake of conservatism, it is better for veterans to rest honestly.
Thanks to the fact that the core players of the Trail Blazers are relatively young, and the team is still trying to hit the Bulls' 72-win record this season, otherwise Coach Terry might have arranged for Wang Zelin and Lillard to rest for 1 or 2 games selectively.
