Chapter 789 Rule the vote king and win the Thunder again
Entering the final quarter, Wang Zelin didn't believe in evil, but just after halftime, the opponent directly played a multiplayer game. Ah bah, it was a multiplayer siege. He played less than 2 minutes and returned to the bench without scoring a point.
However, the feel of the other teammates was considered to be a shot, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, and the Nuggets completely lost the possibility of winning.
In the end, the Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets by 128 points 82 to 46 at home, winning a wave of 10 consecutive victories, and the team's record came to 36 wins and 1 loss.
Wang Zelin's game was a classic. He played dominant data on both offense and defense in the first battle, 41+15 in the half, and scored 50+20+5+3+1 within three quarters, directly filling the output.
At the end of the game, after the symbolic handshake of players from both sides, the Nuggets players left the Rose Garden with a gloomy expression.
Of course, before that, as the best player in the game, Wang Zelin had to accept the special treatment of the best player in the game, that is, an exclusive interview.
"First of all, congratulations to you, Wang. You defeated the Nuggets and raised your winning streak to more than 10 games. This is an amazing achievement! How do you feel about this?"
A sexy blond female reporter stood on the sky, held up a microphone, and asked Wang Zelin with a smile.
Because it is the home game, the local media are naturally happy to see the home team win, and the questions tend to be tolerant and boastful.
Unlike an away game, often when the Blazers win, the questions Wang Zelin accepts are mixed with a bit of provocation.
Subconsciously looked down, it was so dangerous!
After looking away, Wang Zelin started the fork-fitting session.
"10 consecutive victories is good, but we are the Trail Blazers, the defending champion Trail Blazers! In this case, I think I can actually do better. This is not too exaggerated."
"Haha, that's true. After all, not long ago you led the team to 26 consecutive victories. Then, how do you evaluate your opponent tonight?"
Wang Zelin thought for a while and said with a smile: "The Nuggets are a good team. In my opinion, they still have a lot of room for improvement and have a lot of potential!"
As soon as this was said, the Nuggets, especially their coach Mike Malone, who hadn't had time to leave the game, froze slightly.
Good guy, it's been a long time since he was able to say something so fresh and refined about his opponent's inferior strength.
But Mike Malone did not turn around. The Nuggets are the second team of his NBA career and the third year of his coaching career. He knows that talking now is humiliating himself.
Their Denver Nuggets are losers tonight, so they are not qualified to turn around and refute, because that is the privilege of the winners.
But this also made Mike Malone even more unwilling about the current situation of the team.
He coached the Kings for two years in the past two years. He was fed up with the pain of failure in a bad team environment. The reason why he chose to change teams this summer was because he didn't want to continue to fail, and on the other hand, he wanted to prove his coaching ability.
Nuggets, can't go on like this anymore!
Suddenly, a few images of the Blazers' No. 15 white insider appeared in his mind.
That guy seems to be a second grader, what's his name?
Remember, Nikola Jokic!
Since Wang Zelin only played 10 minutes in this game, Jokic's playing time was increased to 22 minutes. During this time, he scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, efficient and versatile.
This performance not only won him the cheers of the audience, but also won the attention of Nuggets coach Mike Malone.
In Jokic, he saw a huge potential. The white center from Serbia definitely has the potential to become the main core of a team.
But it's a crime for such a talented center to play as a substitute for the Trail Blazers!
As a result, Malone suddenly had the idea of asking the team management to poach Jokic over.
After this idea came out, it instantly took root in his heart and grew wildly.
In fact, what Ma Long didn't know was that in the original time and space, he was Jokic's mentor. The two can even be said to have grown together together, and led the Nuggets to the peak of team history.
the other side.
Wang Zelin, who had just finished the interview, didn't know that the kind-hearted Mike Malone on the other side had planned to poach his own corner. When he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped.
"Wang, let me meet you. My name is Anne Weiss. This is my business card. Please accept it."
Looking back, it turned out to be the sexy blonde reporter who interviewed him just now.
The reporter named Annie was also unrestrained. After stuffing the business card into Wang Zelin's hand, she turned and left.
Looking at her round buttocks, Wang Zelin was amazed.
Sure enough, this person, once he is too good, is not good, and he will easily attract bees and butterflies wherever he goes.
After feeling for a while, Wang Zelin returned to the dressing room, took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and drove towards home.
As for the card or something, he had long since left it behind.
For Wang Zelin now, this kind of thing can be said to be a common episode. After each game, he often receives some inexplicable cards, phone numbers, and even personal items.
It's true that he likes Shi Shi, but it also depends on the other party's rank, and ordinary people have long been out of his sight.
The reporter just now is in good shape, but compared with Kendall Jenner at home, he is far behind.
Obviously there are better ones, who would want to take care of a second-class one?
Therefore, Anne's little idea is doomed to fail.
……
Silent all night.
Waking up the next morning, Wang Zelin was eating breakfast while reading the news.
Unsurprisingly, his oversized double-double of 50+20 in a single game has successfully occupied the headlines of the major sports sections.
After playing against the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers will have to wait until the 11th for the next game, and there will be a full three days of rest, so today the team has no training plan.
So on the 9th, Wang Zelin accompanied Jenna to New York for a half-day stroll, and unlocked some new knowledge by the way in the evening, which further deepened the relationship between the two.
At midnight on January 2016, 1, US time, the NBA officially released the latest MVP rankings.
It is reasonable for Wang Zelin to rank first in the MVP rankings by virtue of his record advantage and crazy statistics.
No.2 is the Warriors star Stephen Curry.
The current record of the Warriors is 35 wins and 2 losses, ranking second only to the Trail Blazers in the league. In addition, Curry's personal performance is also quite good. It is not surprising that he ranks in the top two.
What about the third?
It's not Leonard who was previously promoted by ESPN to the "altar" to block the knife, but LeBron James who led the team to the number one record in the Eastern Conference!
According to the usual practice, the highly anticipated list in each issue is undoubtedly the top three rankings. After all, other than the top three are actually accompanying runners, which is just a symbol of strength and status. There is no hope at all to compete for the trophy of the most valuable player in the regular season.
So on the morning of the 10th, when Wang Mi saw the official list, Wang Zelin continued to top the list, and he immediately felt relieved.
Some people put away their mobile phones and continued to attend class with a smile on their faces, some people happily took the subway to work, and some people took a basketball and prepared to go to the court to sweat in the morning sun.
Of course, there are also some fans who stayed up late to work and ran to the Spurs official social platform account and Leonard's personal social platform account to leave messages and mockery as soon as the list was updated.
In addition to the United States, the topic of Wang Zelin, the keyword Wang Zelin is also maxed out in domestic basketball forums and basketball post bars.
At a glance, basically half of the topics on a page are about him, which makes many other star fans say things like "Can you please calm down" and "Wang Zelin's posts everywhere are annoying", but they have to feel in their hearts that an era belonging to Wang Zelin has officially arrived.
Not only in China, but also in the United States. He has also become the most influential basketball idol of the whole people, and the king of the highest basketball hall in the world!
Not only that, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of voting for the 2016 All-Stars.
So far, the Blazers star Wang Zelin has received a total of 2253782 votes, far ahead of all stars.
In addition, the top five votes in the front and back courts of the East and West are as follows:
Eastern Front:
James 636388 votes, George 457554 votes, Davis 261158 votes, Drummond 255536 votes, Anthony 209006 votes;
back-court:
韦德562558票、欧文271094票、罗斯242276票、洛瑞2316758票、巴特勒220429票。
Western Front:
Wang Zelin 2253782 votes, Kobe 1262118 votes, Durant 616096 votes, Griffin 332223 votes, Aldridge 330929 votes
back-court:
库里925789票、威斯布鲁克479512票、利拉德268672票、克莱·汤普森267602票、詹姆斯·哈登249877票。
From the number of votes, we can know that both Wang Zelin and Kobe are out of gear. They are in the first gear respectively, and they are in the third gear to other stars.
According to the current voting results, the starters in the Eastern Conference will be Irving, Wade, James, George and Davis;
The starters in the West will be Curry, Westbrook, Kobe, Durant and Wang Zelin.
According to previous reports, the NBA will announce the voting situation for the third time on January 1, and the last voting result will only be announced on January 15.
In addition, the substitute list will also be officially announced on January 1.
For now, Wang Zelin and Lillard will enter the All-Star team together with a high probability, but Aldridge's votes are a bit hanging.
However, this result also made many fans of Wang Zelin couldn't help but swipe on the forums and post bars again.
"Come on, brothers, and strive for a wave of 300 million votes!"
"If there are no accidents, the king will win the All-Star vote for the fourth consecutive year! Congratulations! Congratulations!"
"Tremble, American guys! Every next season, the king will rule the All-Star votes!"
At this time, Chairman Yao, the increasingly mellow female Zhao Riyue in the capital city of China, looked at the tablet in her hand and smiled silently:
"It's amazing, my expectation of you is getting stronger and stronger. Zelin, let me see where you can go in the end!"
"Come on, my compatriots!"
Looking at the various messages on the screen, Dayao also sent the most sincere blessings to Wang Zelin who is thousands of miles away.
……
……
On the evening of the 11th, the Blazers ushered in the challenge of the Thunder and the Juniors at home.
Since Durant's comeback, the full-stacked Thunder deserves to be called the champion seed team.
Currently, the Thunder ranks in the top four in the Western Conference with a record of 26 wins and 11 losses, and ranks ninth in the league.
It may be because the teammates have lost their touch after a few days of rest, or it may be because the Thunder King's combination was too explosive tonight. Anyway, the Trail Blazers played very difficult in this game.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Durant hit a three-pointer and gave Wang Zelin a strong response. Then Westbrook scored 5 points in a row with a sudden outside shot, and the two sides tied 9:9.
After a single quarter, Durant scored 11 points and Wang Zelin scored 13 points. The core firepower of the two sides was evenly matched, and the two teams played very anxiously.
The Thunder fell behind temporarily at 26:27.
At the beginning of this quarter, the Blazers' rotation lineup performed well. Jokic led Yi Jianlian, Beverly, Carter Sr., Connit Lee and others to continuously score points and play a wave of 7:2 attacks.
At halftime, the Blazers led their opponents by 52 points at 46:6 at home.
After changing sides to fight again, the Wang Zha team suddenly showed their strength. Durant and Westbrook scored 2.3 points together. The Thunder played a wave of 16:4 offensive climax, eroding the lead of the Trail Blazers in the first half in one fell swoop.
After three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed by 80 points at 85:5.
Fortunately, after entering the final quarter, under Wang Zelin's continuous scoring, the situation on the field did not appear to be one-sided.
At the same time, on the defensive end, he successively gave two caps to Westbrook, who is gradually rising, and cooperated with his teammates to slowly tie the score by relying on the defensive system.
In the last minute of the game, the score between the two sides was 1:108, and the Blazers took the lead by one point.
Immediately afterwards, Westbrook picked up the explosive package again and bombarded the basket frantically. This time he won a foul on Wang Zelin and made two free throws to overtake the score.
At the critical juncture, Lillard stepped forward this time. After Wang Zelin was double-teamed, he received the ball from the outside and scored two three-pointers in a row.
114:111, the Trail Blazers overtook the score!
In the last 9 seconds of the game, the Thunder held the last attack. Westbrook, who scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and sent 15 assists in the game, was suddenly cut off the pass key. The final attack was not handed over to Durant, the team's obvious boss, but chose to do it alone.
Then there is no more then.
Westbrook made a long-range shot and was blocked by Wang Zelin, who was in place to help defend, completely killing the Thunder's hope of entering overtime and leaving the fruits of victory in the Rose Garden Arena.
To be honest, if this game hadn't been for Westbrook's sudden attack at the last critical moment, but instead of giving the ball to Durant, who has an absolute height advantage, this game might really be dragged into overtime, and the Trail Blazers lost in overtime.
In the end, the Blazers narrowly beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, also the top power in the Western Conference, by 3 points, continuing their winning streak.
At present, the winning streak has reached 11 games!
