Chapter 110 11 wins and 4 losses(2/3)
Although the third-grade Wall is very fierce at rushing to the basket, tigers are still afraid of wolves, not to mention that Wall has never been called a tiger.
In addition, Bill is still young, and Batum blocked 1 of 7 in the first half. With 2 of 2 free throws, he managed to score 3 points.
On the other hand, for the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin was asking for help inside the Wizards, shooting 7 of 7 from the field and 3 of 3 free throws. He had already scored 17 points before being substituted in the last two minutes of the half. With his own strength,
Destroyed the entire Wizards' interior system.
Wizards coach Whitman had nothing to do. As early as halfway through the first quarter, he tried to speed up Wall's pace and bring up the rhythm of the game.
The Trail Blazers can no longer be allowed to play positional warfare comfortably.
But even after speeding up, the team's disadvantage did not change, and the Trail Blazers still had the initiative.
The 65-point speed derived from McGee has allowed Wang Zelin to reach the league average, and he can even be called a "fast man" at the center position.
Wang Zelin's physical strength is still sufficient for fast breaks in a short period of time.
At the end of the first half, the two teams battled to a score of 51:38. The 13-point difference was the absolute gap between the two teams and a normal manifestation of the strength of the two teams.
One team is currently the second-best team in the Western Conference and the second-best team in the league, and the other is the bottom team in the league. Unless there is a situation where all members explode, the Wizards' final result will be just more losses and less losses.
After returning from the second half, the two sides changed venues.
Everyone on the Wizards looked very heavy, especially the team boss Wall, who couldn't wait to prove his ability to lead the team.
As a result, the team's starting performance this season was far inferior to that of his rookie season, and even ranked as the worst start in team history.
"It looks like the King is going to win this game again. He played 16 minutes in the first half, made 7 hits in 7 shots, and added a total of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists from free throws. It was really a hearty game!"
After the start of the third quarter, the Wizards had a hard time facing the Trail Blazers' bench. Director Zhang and Yu Jia in the commentary box seemed to lack interest.
As the protagonist, Wang Zelin, no one is on stage, so what should they do next?
What else can be done?
Blow!
That's a pretty impressive boast. Anyway, Wang Zelin's current data can cover him up no matter how much praise he gives.
"Yes, the last Chinese player who could achieve such dominance in an NBA game was Yao Yao!"
Director Zhang even had an idea in his mind: Yao Ming and Wang Zelin at the same age, who is more powerful?
After thinking about it for a while, Director Zhang had to admit: In the same rookie season, Wang Zelin's mentality, potential, combat power, and game adaptability are much better than Yao Ming.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Ahhh!"
"Shhhhhhh!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the arena, leaving Director Zhang and his family at a loss.
When they turned their attention to the big screen, they discovered that it was Wang Zelin and his girlfriend Reina who were projected on the big screen.
According to the NBA's KISS game, the two people selected by the camera must kiss.
"OMG!"
Reina was stunned for a moment when she saw herself appearing on the big screen. She quickly reacted, stood up, hugged Wang Zelin, and hugged each other.
After the cheerful interlude passed, the atmosphere on the field was still solemn.
To be more precise, it was a unilateral massacre.
The game has reached the fourth quarter. Wang Zelin continued to get opportunities to play after playing in the second half of the third quarter.
At this time, the score of the two teams was 78:66, and the point difference was 12 points.
The task of the starting five this time is to increase the score to 20 points as soon as possible and let the game directly enter garbage time.
The five starting players did not disappoint Coach Terry. They completely destroyed the game within three minutes of playing, with the score difference reaching 21 points.
The Wizards didn't want to be embarrassed like this anymore, so the coach called a timeout and naturally replaced the main players, raising the white flag high.
It is announced that the game has entered garbage time.
Now that Wang Zelin has made a name for himself, he no longer bothers to play in garbage time... In fact, Coach Terry refuses to let him play.
In this way, until the end of the game, Wang Zelin only played about 25 minutes in total, but he scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks very efficiently, of which 6 blocks were a career high.
This is also thanks to the significant contribution of the wizard duo of Wall and Bill.
In this game, the entire Wizards team felt like they were in an endless hell. Not only were the outside lines disrupted by various blocks, but the entire inside line was also pressed to the floor and rubbed by Wang Zelin.
The final score was 118:101, and the Trail Blazers won by 17 points, ending the first of four consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference at the end of November.
There is no doubt that Wang Zelin once again defended the MVP of this game.
…
On November 26, U.S. time, the Trail Blazers ended the team's three-game winning streak at the Pistons' home court. Seven Pistons players scored in double figures, leaving Wang Zelin and others to return with regrets.
Aldridge performed well in this game, scoring a game-high 32 points and 8 rebounds. Wang Zelin scored 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Lillard scored 16 points and 9 assists.
The three young men scored 70 points together and still saved the savior. You can imagine how well the Pistons played in this game.
There are no underdogs in the NBA!
Wang Zelin finally saw this.
No matter how low the lower limit is, it is still a team composed of NBA-level players. Once the feeling comes, even the king can knock him off his horse.
In addition to the outstanding performance of the Pistons players, in this game except for the three young men, everyone else can be said to be possessed by iron bodies. After the first three quarters, the shooting rate was just over 33%, which is the best proof.
From here you can see the difference between stars and role players.
Not only are the salaries received by the two very different, but factors such as strength, mentality, stability, etc. are also very different.
On November 27, the Trail Blazers played back-to-back away games against the Nets. Deron Williams, who was still in his prime, showed off his power and destroyed the Trail Blazers' perimeter, helping the team win two consecutive games.
In this game, Lillard was taught a lesson by Deron, the little fat guy, who used his strong body to completely destroy all the Trail Blazers' No. 1 players.
The two sides fought fiercely to the last minute of this game. In 27 seconds before the end of the game, the Trail Blazers were only one point behind at 97:98.
However, no one expected that the "former Eagle King" who had just been traded to the Nets this season would stand up at this critical moment and hit a difficult three-pointer against Batum's defense.
Needless to say, this ball really looks like Jordan.
In the last 21 seconds, a 4-point gap forced the Trail Blazers to suffer a bitter defeat.
In the end, the team lost to the Nets 99:101.
In the last game of the Eastern Conference's four-game road trip, the opponent was the resurgent Chicago Bulls.
Unfortunately, the core of the Bulls, Derrick Rose, was injured this season and did not even make the team's 15-man regular season roster. This also deprived Wang Zelin of the opportunity to witness the final bloom of the rose.
The Trail Blazers have played a total of 15 games in November, and they currently have a record of 11 wins and 3 losses. Although they are still ranked second in the Western Conference, the Thunder, who are third, are only half a game away from them.
Therefore, this game is very important.
In this game, facing Joakim Noah, the future double-team center and best defensive player, Wang Zelin finally broke out and scored 37 points and 21 rebounds on the former, completely defeating the opponent.
"There are no heroes, so Zhuzi became famous!"
I’m talking about the player Joakim Noah.
In the next two seasons, he averaged 12 points and 11 rebounds per game, plus nearly 5 assists and nearly 2 blocks per game.
With data like this, he was able to win the All-NBA First Team once, win the Best Defensive Game for two consecutive seasons, and also win the Best Defensive Player.
That is to say, in this era of declining centers, otherwise Noah would never be able to get these honors in his life.
Don't talk about the team honor bonus. If it weren't for the limitations of the times, the bonus wouldn't be so outrageous.
8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, this is the report card that Noah handed over in this game. It is not at all the performance that a team's internal defense should have.
At this point, Wang Zelin ended all the games in his first month in the NBA.
Averaged 23.5 points and 14 rebounds per game!
This is the data Wang Zelin handed over in 15 games.
If it weren't for those 3 or 4 games at the beginning of the season, when Wang Zelin was a little restrained when he first came to the NBA, I'm afraid his current statistics would be even more luxurious.
After scoring 20 points and 33 rebounds in a single game at the Toyota Center, home of the Mosaics, Wang Zelin finally understood one thing.
Sometimes being reborn in the right child and being born at the right time is so damn important!
For example, if the Utah duo hadn't debuted in the 1990s and been completely shrouded in the glory of God throughout their careers, they would have won a championship ring no matter what.
It would not be like letting Malone fight alone for 20 years and only leave the title of "the uncrowned king".
The same is true for Dwight Howard now!
If Howard was not in the 21st century, but had debuted in the 1990s, this happy beast would be nothing more than another Mutombo with unparalleled achievements.
Even with Howard's "happiness first" basketball philosophy in the first half of his career, I'm afraid his career achievements can't compare to Uncle Mu's.
However, this is all if.
Sometimes, "Everything is fate, nothing is up to you!" This sentence is really hard to believe.
At least as far as Wang Zelin is concerned, he is undoubtedly lucky.
To be continued...
