Chapter 217 Signing the Wolf King Plan
"Coach, how is LaMarcus?"
Seeing the return of the main lineup, Coach Terry explained the injury to everyone: "According to the preliminary diagnosis, LaMarcus has a right foot with a grade-[-] ankle sprain. It will take at least two weeks to recover. Now the team doctors are treating the injury with ice."
It only took two weeks, so it was a false alarm.
Teammates were relieved to hear that Aldridge was back on the field in just two weeks.
Seeing the players stabilize their minds, Coach Terry picked up the tactical board and gestured for tactics, and commanded!
"Damien, go do more singles! Go crush the Lakers' back line!"
"Mike, use your muscles to withstand Jamison, give him a confrontation, you let him easily get the shot space!!"
"Wang, Dwight can't stop you, he has fouled four times, find a chance to let him go!!!"
There is a full quarter left in the game, and the Blazers still have a chance to overtake.
The sidelines were good, but on the court, with Kobe's first three-pointer, the point difference was widened to 14 points.
Mamba baring his fangs!
"Old man, I didn't expect that you still have fuel in your gas tank. I thought the Lakers boss had become Jamison!"
Wang Zelin couldn't help being provocative.
Everyone knows that provoking a black mamba is a very dangerous thing, he may directly poison you to death...
But at the same time, he is also likely to kill the team alone.
So Wang Zelin is betting!
"The Lakers are not my team alone. The victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts!"
Kobe replied calmly.
Already in their thirties, Kobe has long been fed up with the beatings of the society, and he doesn't care about the provocations from the outside world.
His greatest wish at this time is to win the sixth championship in his career... He knows that he will never surpass this hot man, but he still hopes to achieve the same number of championships.
This is an unknown and extremely simple little wish of the old blacksmith in Los Angeles.
"..."
Wang Zelin rolled his eyes, as if he had heard this before.
Depend on!Isn't that what you said two days ago?
This high school student who never went to college is just playing copy and paste...
The Blazers attacked, Lillard dribbled over, and the audience was on the three-point line.
Nash gave a lot of pressure.
Of course, this is what Nash thinks.
Lillard called a pick-and-roll, went into the paint and got a foul!
The foul scene was full of boos!
Dwight~ You can have some fun!
D'Antoni replaced Howard, who was harmless to humans and animals, with a helpless face. He fouled for the fifth time, and he couldn't do it anymore.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Lillard made two free throws.
Looking back, Nash wanted to attack, but Lillard couldn't defend either.
Lillard retreated while fighting. Although Nash had the advantage, he was old after all, and his physical strength was a little weak in the fourth quarter. It is unlikely that he would get rid of Lillard to score.
"Whoosh!"
Pass the ball!
Nash to Kobe in the corner.
Seeing that no one was defending, Kobe opened his hand and made a three-pointer.
Hemp egg!
I forgot again, this season with Nash, Kobe played the highest offensive efficiency of his career.
No one expected that Kobe would have such an excellent ability to move without the ball.
At 89:74, the Blazers fell behind by 15 points.
No more hope!
……
All down.
Wang Zelin played 33 minutes and scored 20 points, 13 rebounds and 29 assists on 14 of 5 shots. The statistics were quite gorgeous. The Lakers couldn't stop him. Howard even left the field with 6 fouls in the middle of the fourth quarter.
However, the Blazers still lost to the Lakers... 99:107.
In the last few minutes, Coach Terry won the main lineup and raised the exemption card. The second lineup of the two sides pecked at each other, and the point difference was recovered within ten points.
The Blazers suffered a two-game losing streak!
After the game, news about "The Blazers are about to suffer their first three-game losing streak!" suddenly spread everywhere, and many experts and fans came to their senses. The Blazers really haven't lost three games in a row this season.
The last two-game losing streak was to the Thunder and Nuggets in January, and during that period, Wang Zelin was suspended for 4 games.
After coming back, the opponent in the first game was the ultimate boss, the Miami Heat. Just when everyone thought that the Blazers would encounter a wave of kneeling three times in a row, Wang Zelin contributed a buzzer-beater to stop the losing streak for the team.
Counting down, this season has not suffered a three-game losing streak of the team, but very few.
Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers...and then gone.
Thinking about it this way, they realized how much the Portland Trail Blazers dark horse has changed this season...
There are only three teams in the league that have not lost three consecutive games in the regular season this season. Even last year's overall runner-up, the Oklahoma City Thunder, have suffered a three-game losing streak recently.
what does this mean?
it goes without saying.
Strong and long-term competitiveness...Compared to the championship favorites Heat and Spurs, the team structure of the Trail Blazers is very young, but such a young team has accomplished things that no number of powerful players can do.
Under the exaggeration of media and public opinion, the "three-game losing streak" has become a watershed between the championship-level strong teams and the ordinary playoff-level strong teams.
The Trail Blazers have inexplicably gained wider recognition, which is first reflected in the sudden rise in the team power rankings of major media.
In the latest team strength list, TNT promoted the Blazers from fifth to third, and dropped the Thunder from third to fourth.
In ESPN's latest team strength, the Blazers broke into the top five for the first time.
This made the Blazers fans and the Chinese fans happy, and it was only a matter of setting off firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate.
ESPN, as the most official and authoritative sports media in Mimi, has always been famous for not waiting to see the Trail Blazers youth army. Even during the nine-game winning streak, it was only reluctantly ranked sixth, and in most cases it was ranked eighth to tenth.
And a bleacher that implements "If you don't make a show, it's a blockbuster". After the latest team strength list was updated, the fans suddenly found that the Trail Blazers held high and directly put the Spurs behind.
The reason given by the bleachers is simple and powerful.
"The Blazers are still a young team, but compared to the three old carriages of the Spurs, we think the Blazers are worthy of having a broader future because they are young enough!"
The future is destined to belong to young people!
That's what the latest bleacher update is about.
In this regard, some media went to San Antonio to interview Spurs coach Simavich, who avoided talking about it.
Loudness, passion... these have never been the characteristics of San Antonio.
They prefer to make a fortune in silence!
……
The next morning I woke up and practiced for more than half an hour. At eight o'clock, Wang Zelin finished his breakfast and came to the team for training.
February 2th is tomorrow, the next opponent is the Boston Celtics, and the Trail Blazers will play at home.
The Trail Blazers and Celtics have played only once this season, but it's enough to make anyone unforgettable.
26 points, 30 rebounds and 5 assists... The first super statistic of Wang Zelin's career was obtained from the Celtics.
Compared with data, Wang Zelin cares more about people.
KG ~ Kevin Garnett!
In the first encounter with the Celtics, Garnett chose to fight fiercely at the last moment of the game. Such a move made Wang Zelin unforgettable.
Even to some extent, Wang Zelin was able to complete the feat of 30 rebounds on the spot, thanks to Garnett's persistence in the last few minutes.
After the game, Garnett, an NBA veteran, talked a lot with Wang Zelin, which made him feel a lot.
Therefore, thinking about tomorrow's game, Wang Zelin couldn't help gearing up. He was ready to fight Garnett in the paint.
"And..." Wang Zelin suddenly smiled.
If I remember correctly, Garnett will be used as a bargaining chip by Green Army general manager Danny Ainge during the offseason on June 6, and will be traded to the Brooklyn Nets together with Paul Pierce and Jason Terry.
The Nets sent three future first-round picks and Gerald Wallace, Chris Humphries, Jay Chris Joseph, Marshawn Brooks, plus a total of 5 active players through sign-and-trade Gies Bogans .
Since then, the era of the Celtics' Big Three has officially come to an end, and the team will also move towards reconstruction.
Many people in the league reprimanded the general manager of the Green Army, Danny Angie, for being cold-blooded at the time, but many years later, when the Green Army returned to the Eastern Conference Finals under the leadership of Thomas Jr., Tatum, Jaylen Brown and others, people had to sigh with emotion.
Perhaps this is the complexity of human nature.
Of course, Wang Zelin didn't think so far. The only thing he wants now is to make a fortune from the trade between the Nets and the Celtics during this offseason.
It would be best to be able to sign Kevin Garnett!
After all, the Blazers are too young, from coaches to players.
In the playoffs, without the Trail Blazers guided by veterans, Wang Zelin felt that the team probably wouldn't be able to go very far.
Therefore, after establishing that the Trail Blazers will be his long-term team, Wang Zelin set a three-year plan for himself.
Make it to the playoffs for the first year!
Reached the Western Conference finals in the second year!
……
Try to win an O'Brien Cup during the rookie contract.
Compared with Lu's Long Ao Tianwen, Wang Zelin still feels that the plan he made is more secure and realistic.
After all, who made him draw O'Neal in his old age at the beginning, not the peak O'Neal at the beginning.
If he really draws O'Neal at the peak, Wang Zelin certainly has the confidence to win the FMVP in the first grade to tie with the Magician, make persistent efforts in the second grade, set a dynasty in the third grade and become No.1 in the league, and in the fourth grade...
Cough cough, the most useless human behavior is talking about what if!
Let's get back to reality.
Then, Garnett naturally became a major signing target in Wang Zelin's plan.
He clearly remembers that during Garnett's two seasons with the Nets, he only played 13 regular season games in the 14-54 season, averaging 6.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
But in the playoffs, Garnett's data did not decrease but rose, averaging close to 7 points and 6 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage directly increased by 44.1 percentage points from 8% in the regular season to 52.4%.
There is still a lot of oil in the fuel tank!
So he thought so.
Anyway, the team's salary space in recent years has been huge, and the rookie bonus is not free. Instead of letting Wolf King Garnett return to the Timberwolves to waste time, it is better to be like Ray Allen, and get a championship ring in the later years of his career.
After Garnett came to the Trail Blazers, he only needed to be responsible for the elderly during the regular season, and it was time for him, a veteran, to exert his strength in the playoffs.
Just like a certain coffin mamba, he habitually played dead during the regular season, and couldn't help but lift the coffin board as soon as he reached the finals.
As for being robbed of FMVP in the finals...
Don't make trouble, Wang Zelin never takes this kind of thing to heart, and it is impossible for him to happen.
Book friends who haven't slept yet, go to bed early, good night!
