After defeating the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers recently ushered in a six-game winning streak. In the seven games in the first half of January, except for the Warriors losing on No. 1, they won the remaining six games.

37 wins and 4 losses, continuing to lead the league!

But defeating the Grizzlies was just the beginning of the Blazers' rampage in 2017.

Entering the second half of January, on the 16th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Hornets without any blood.

On January 18, the Trail Blazers and the 75ers met again. The last time the two sides met, Wang Zelin scored one of his masterpieces of the season with 50 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals.

Today, Philadelphia great Embiid vowed to avenge his disgrace.

As a result, in the Portland Rose Garden Arena, witnessed by the four championship flags flying over the Trail Blazers Arena, 75 people were stunned by the Trail Blazers headed by Wang Zelin and scored an incredible 18:0!

The high morale of the Trail Blazers has translated into extremely tough defense on the field. Both physically and mentally, the Trail Blazers' defense is extremely tough.

75ers head coach Brett Brown has waited so long that the flowers are almost withering, but he has never seen the 75ers score a goal...

Offensive and defensive transition, 75 people attack.

Even the home referee couldn't stand it any longer. Embiid's heart was moved for a moment. Embiid hit Wang Zelin in a single, turned over and fell to the ground after a jumper, and the whistle immediately sounded.

Regardless of whether the ball goes in or not, the referee has already given the NBA enough face.

The bald referee glanced at Embiid: This is all I can do.

The start of 75 was indeed too brutal. Even the main player, Wang Zelin, was too lazy to investigate after being called for a foul?

Just take pity on our great emperor.

But some people just can't hold up the wall with mud.

"Duang! Duang!"

Embiid stood on the free throw line and made all consecutive extra free throws. The rebound was collected by Jokic.

The referee shook his head and left the 75 people to their fate. He no longer wanted to care about it.

In the transition between offense and defense, Lillard assisted Wang Zelin to complete the aerial boost, and the Trail Blazers made an incredible 20:0 start.

Some beautiful fans at the scene said that they were almost wet from watching it.

In the next few minutes, although the 75ers finally found a chance to break the scoring drought, the game was already very difficult for the 75ers after being beaten 20:0 by the Trail Blazers.

In the end, Embiid "boomed" with a double-double performance of 22 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks on 28 shots. At least the statistics were decent, but the 75ers also lost 89:123.

Come.

Wang Zelin once again proved that he is still the only king on the throne of the void.

Embiid the Great?

Sorry, everything in this alliance doesn't belong to you yet.

After 75 people, the Trail Blazers came to the East and challenged the Celtics, who have attracted much attention this season.

After Brandon Ingram arrived in the Celtics, both his playing time and the team's attention were far superior to those of his previous Lakers rookie days.

Since the start of the season, Ingram has averaged 16 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, making him a superstar.

Of course, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that he will be a superstar in the future, but in him, the Green Army management has indeed seen the talent potential of a guaranteed All-Star in the future.

Don't think it's impossible, sometimes the environment affects a rookie player like this.

Take Darko Milicic, the No. 2 genius of the Platinum Generation in 2003, for example. If this 18-year-old talented white forward from Europe had not been unlucky for eight lifetimes, he would have faced the most disliked player in NBA history as a rookie.

Larry Brown, the "ultimate old stubborn" who cultivates rookies, if he can be transferred to a bad team environment during his rookie period and get a lot of shooting rights and playing time, with his terrifying talent that can be seen blindly, he will not be better in the future.

The "Dragon King" Bosh of the same session is also an All-Star player!

The second pick in the draft in a super year, he averaged about 5 minutes of playing time per game in the first three seasons of his rookie contract, and averaged less than two shots per game... Such an ingenious way of "cultivating" rookies, even if the rookie Qiao Shen comes.

, even 100 million percent will become parallel imports!

It's a pity that Milicic's NBA career didn't work out.

Seeing the completely different development trajectory of Ingram in this time and space from his previous life, Wang Zelin couldn't help but feel emotional.

In the previous life, the talented Yingge was forced to stay with the Lakers for three years. After being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in the last year of his rookie contract, with almost the same playing time, he only took 4 more shots per game.

Data has ushered in an all-round surge.

In the 18-19 season, the Lakers averaged 33 minutes of playing time per game, with a data of 18 5 3; in the 19-20 season, the Pelicans averaged 34 minutes of playing time per game, with a data of 24 6 4 1.

Judging from the Green Army's current attitude towards cultivating Ingram, there is a high probability that he will take off in two years at most.

In addition to the talented rookie Ingram, the Green Army lineup also includes Thomas Jr., CJ McCollum, and Al Horford. On the bench are Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier.

Kelly Olynyk…

This lineup really has everything you need!

No wonder the Green Army's rise is so rapid. It was clearly struggling a few years ago, but this year it immediately became a top team with the ability to reach the conference finals.

Such an opponent...thinking about it makes people feel excited!

On the evening of the 20th, the battle between the Trail Blazers and Celtics started as scheduled.

This battle can be described as a thunder from the sky and a fire from the earth, especially for Celtics leader Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas Jr.'s performance this season has been nothing short of spectacular, averaging more than 29 points per game, infinitely close to 30 points, making him recognized by the media and fans as the strongest offensive point guard in the Eastern Conference.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, Thomas also has a very popular nickname this season - the King of the End!

What's the meaning?

This means that so far this season, Thomas has averaged 10.3 points in the fourth quarter. If he continues, he will set a new NBA historical record.

No wonder fans have given him the nickname "King of the Final Quarter". Now he can often point his finger to his wrist in the fourth quarter:

"The whole world knows whose time it is in the fourth quarter!"

This should be considered a different kind of watch.

Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.

Tonight's battle between the two sides was an intense one. After the first half, the Celtics, who were at home, led the Trail Blazers by 5 points, 66 to 61.

Thomas Jr. deserves the most credit for being able to take the lead.

In the first half, he took 10 shots and hit 7 of them. His field goal percentage reached an astonishing 70%. With a height of 1.75 meters, in a world crowded with giants, he single-handedly scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 4 rebounds in the half.

assists.

Although Wang Zelin's performance was even better, scoring 26 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks on 8 of 12 shots in the half, it was still difficult to hide Thomas' unparalleled heroics.

Just because of his height of 1.75 meters, when he scored frequently on the court, the shocking effect he brought to people was too prominent, making people feel as if they were playing 2K again.

No, even if you play 2k modeling, you will never be able to match the trembling from the depths of your soul that real characters bring!

In addition to Thomas, the Celtics had three other players who were in great shape tonight. Horford had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the half, Smart had 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the half as a substitute, and talented rookie Ingram had 13 points in the half.

4 rebounds.

During the first half, four Celtics players scored in double figures, and their offensive efficiency was terrifying. On the other hand, for the Trail Blazers, apart from Wang Zelin, only Lillard scored in double figures in the first half.

The game entered the third quarter, and just as the Celtics were preparing to open up the score in one go, the dynasty point guard Lillard suddenly went berserk.

Perhaps it was the thought that he only scored 10 points in the first half, while the opposite Celtic No. 4, who was a head shorter than him and two circles thinner, scored 17 points. This comparison deeply stimulated Lillard.

Not long after the start of the third quarter, Lillard singled out Thomas at the top of the key and hit a pull-up three-pointer against the latter to take the lead.

In the following time, Lillard started a crazy scoring mode, and finally made 7 of 11 shots in a single quarter, scoring an eye-popping 20 points!

Among them, he made 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, and all of them were scored against Thomas's defense, which severely suppressed the arrogance of the home team.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers were 98:91, leading the Celtics by 7 points.

The game entered the final quarter, and it was Thomas' time that Green Army fans are extremely familiar with, and Thomas did not disappoint the fans, and started the "King of the Final Quarter" mode every day.

In a single quarter, he made 4 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He efficiently scored 13 points and 1 assist. His ferocious firepower in the final quarter was evident.

In the last few rounds, the two sides took the lead alternately, and the atmosphere was so solemn that the fans did not dare to breathe.

At the critical moment, Wang Zelin also began to step up and take over the game. He showed even more unreasonable firepower output than the "King of the Final Quarter" Thomas.

Theoretically, as long as Wang Zelin wants to, he can snatch Thomas Jr.'s "King of the Final Quarter" title away, but the fact is that the Trail Blazers don't need to fight their opponents until the final quarter like the Celtics do.

To determine the outcome, many times they only need to launch a wave in the third quarter to easily take away the game.

The same goes for the Golden State Warriors.

Both Curry and Durant actually have the ability to become the "King of the Final Quarter", but because the overall strength of the team is basically superior to most active teams in the league, they are often "forced" to clock out in three quarters and score naturally in the final quarter.

Not as tall as little Thomas.

Little Thomas is very strong, there is no doubt about it!

But the cruel NBA once again told people a fact, that is the importance of talent!

The superstars that have appeared in the long history of the NBA are all extremely talented.

Even "Big Bird" Larry Bird, who is generally considered to have the worst physical fitness among the top ten giants in NBA history, has a historically top shooting touch and organizational talent that ordinary people do not have, and... may be the number one player in history.

The ability to talk trash!
