110:77, this point difference is simply incredible!
In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers finally slowed down their offense a little.
Three minutes later, Lillard added two more assists, with a total of 22 points, 22 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal. He successfully surpassed Strickland and set a new record in team history!
Double 22 in this game, this is the first time since the Trail Blazers founded the team!
In the Rose Garden Arena, the fans kept cheering. Even though Lillard was replaced by the coach after getting his 22nd assist, the fans would cheer loudly every time the Trail Blazers scored, with a score difference of nearly 40 points.
, so that they don’t have to worry about the game coming over.
In the commentary box, the commentators did not bother to deal with the rookies on the court, but quickly found a series of data to support Lillard's greatness in this game.
"20 assists in a single game. In NBA history, only 22 players have accomplished such a miracle! Let us congratulate Damian Lillard. He has become the 23rd player in NBA history to provide more than 20 assists in a single game.
Players!”
"Since entering the new century, only George McLeod, Andre Miller, Ramon Sessions, Jamal Tinsley, Mark Jackson, Steve Nash, Chris Duhon,
A total of 8 stars including Rajon Rondo have achieved 20 assists in a single game, and Lillard is the 9th player in the new century!"
"After getting 22 assists in this game, Lillard's total assists in the regular season this season have reached 940. On average, he can get 11.75 assists per game, successfully surpassing the Kings' point guard Rajon.
Rondo tops the season assists list!"
"Finally, let us congratulate Lillard. He not only won the first assists title in his career, but also became the first assists title in the history of the Trail Blazers!"
"Congratulations to Damian Lillard, it was his night!"
Amidst the impassioned explanations of the commentators, the Rose Garden burst into joy.
At this time, this data quickly spread throughout the league. In China, major forums and sports media also began to rush to broadcast this news.
On the Trail Blazers bench, Lillard looked dull, not proud of his assist record this time.
In fact, after getting 20 assists in the third quarter, his mood instantly changed from excitement to dullness. Even though he later broke the team record, he didn't feel too excited.
Maybe this is the so-called "what you can't get is always in commotion"!
Sure enough, a man is a man. Once he gets it, he doesn't cherish it anymore.
…
The whole game is over.
In the end, the Trail Blazers won the game 142:107.
The 35-point difference in a single game is also the largest point difference between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs.
Before the game, when all the media and fans knew that the Spurs' core players were on the rest list tonight, everyone thought that this game was destined to be boring.
The worst thing is that after the game, the news that the Trail Blazers won 75 games was all over the place.
But most people are already numb to such news. After all, the Trail Blazers have created too much history this season and refreshed countless people's perceptions.
However... facing Lillard's 22 assists in a single game, it still aroused the admiration of countless netizens:
Is it possible that the Trail Blazers are really going to be great this season?
Why, you really want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
Just after the game ended, all the media surrounded Lillard. Of course, some media also cleverly surrounded Wang Zelin and other players.
In this game, Wang Zelin performed equally well. It only took a little more than three quarters to grab 20 rebounds. Coupled with the output of 26 points, he also achieved a double-20 feat tonight.
Unfortunately, in terms of statistics, Wang Zelin has led the league for an entire season, surpassing the players behind him by more than one level.
Therefore, fans were not only not too surprised by Wang Zelin's Double 20 performance, but they also thought it was a matter of course.
Wang expressed his concern!
However, looking at Lillard surrounded by reporters, inside and outside, Wang Zelin felt relaxed in his heart, with a feeling of "let's get over it."
Just like what Buckley said before:
This is Lillard's night!
It's rare for a good brother to break the record tonight and show his face well. After the game, he attracted most of the firepower and gave him some peace and quiet.
…
The next day, the last day of the NBA regular season also came to an end.
The Warriors, whose current popularity is second only to the Trail Blazers, also played their last game on the court.
Although they finally defeated the Grizzlies 125:104, their regular season record also successfully surpassed the Bulls' 72 wins, reaching a terrifying 73 wins and 9 losses.
However, with the Trail Blazers in front of them, the Warriors' record is terrible, but the response is not as high as the Warriors players expected, which can't help but make people a little disappointed.
Especially the star Stephen Curry, although he knows that he will most likely not be able to compete with Wang Zelin in the competition for regular season MVP, but for the slim hope that is out of reach, Curry chose to give everything he has tonight.
In the whole game, he took 30 crazy shots and hit 18 goals, including 12 of 22 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 55 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. His performance was amazing!
It is worth mentioning that Curry’s previous career-high score was 54 points in a single game against the Knicks in the 2012-13 season. After this game against the Grizzlies, Curry successfully set a new career-high score!
After the game, when Curry was asked if he was confident in defeating Wang Zelin to win the regular season MVP, although his expression was obviously a bit gloomy when he heard Wang Zelin's name, he still expressed himself gracefully in front of the camera.
Confidence in the competition for this award.
Compared to the slightly humble Curry, Draymond Green, who scored 11 points, 12 assists, 9 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal tonight, a near triple-double, has a much more arrogant attitude.
"In my heart, Stephen is the best player this season! He led us to defeat countless strong enemies. He deserves the votes of the jury. He definitely deserves the honor of regular season MVP!"
During the interview, he not only expressed his support for Curry, but also ignored the existence of Wang Zelin in his words.
After such remarks spread, they immediately angered a large number of Wang Zelin fans. As a new die-hard fan of Wang Zelin, Taylor Swift directly criticized Green in an interview at an event.
Neither.
Under Taylor's strong appeal, not only Green, but also Curry and other Warriors players were innocently accused, and from time to time they encountered "friendly" greetings from some netizens.
