"What else can I say?"

George Karl became irritable as expected, but to the surprise of all reporters, the old man quickly returned to his previous cold appearance: "I must admit, I underestimated him! No, it should be said that all teams in the league underestimated him.

He, he definitely deserves to be on the All-NBA team."

George Karl's words suddenly made reporters confused.

When will old man Karl publicly admit that his opponent is powerful?

Maybe he is really old.

Or should I say, I was impressed by Wang Zelin's 20 rebounds in the game.

Many of these are unknown to outsiders.

What is clear is that George Karl's words will definitely cause a bloody storm in the league.

…

The next day.

The day after the game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets, the news that Wang Zelin got 20 rebounds became the most exciting sports news of the day.

There were three games yesterday. The other two were the Knicks playing the Celtics and the Spurs playing the Warriors. Both games were won by the home team, with a huge 3:0 advantage.

The second most popular one is "Anthony scored only 26 points and led the team to a 3-0 lead in the series."

Considering the previous two games of 30, although this title is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable.

The next hot search was No. 21 pick Tim Duncan.

Duncan played 31 minutes in this game, making 12 of 16 shots and contributing 26 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. His total career playoff minutes increased to 7,515 minutes, thus surpassing "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell.

With 7,497 minutes, he ranks 8th on the all-time playoff playing time list.

In addition, Duncan made 1,626 field goals in the playoffs, surpassing "Logo Man" Jerry West's 1,622 field goals and ranking sixth on the list of historical playoff field goals.

After that night, countless people fell into silence, and even roared wildly in their hearts: Who the hell said that the Spurs are old? With the strength Duncan has shown so far, I will believe it in another five to eight years.

O'Neal, who was dissatisfied with his calm state after retiring, immediately jumped out and joked: "He is indeed a man I recognize. Keep playing Tim, I believe you can surpass Kareem!"

The Kareem O'Neal refers to is none other than the famous "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a President Hill player who deserves to be ranked among the NBA's historical status. No matter how he is ranked, he cannot fall out of the top three.

A 39-year-old old monster who is still averaging 23.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game!

After this news came out, everyone saw that when O'Neal compared Duncan with this NBA superstar, he was rarely able to find fault.

After all, Duncan was recognized as the number one power forward in history even before he retired.

Except for Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, who is too tough to touch, all the remaining players, no matter who Duncan is, have the capital to fight for it.

…

The fierce battle in the NBA is in full swing, and another day has passed in the blink of an eye. The game on the 27th has been played, which means that all series have been played in three games.

Currently in the Western Conference, the top four teams are the Thunder, Spurs, Clippers and Trail Blazers in the top half. Without exception, they all lead the teams in the bottom half 3:0.

It has been rare to see uniformity in recent years.

In the East, the Heat and Knicks are both 3:0 ahead of the Bucks and Celtics. The Pacers and Nets, who are ranked third and fourth, are playing back and forth with the Bulls and Bucks.

The Bulls, in particular, played a low-down game and led the Nets 2:1.

When Wang Zelin read the news, he couldn't help but sigh, the Bulls are really ruthless, but it's a pity that Derrick Rose, the youngest regular season MVP in history, is missing.

If Rose were built in a few years later in the Eastern Conference, the Heat and Pacers might not be the two arrogant rivals, but would become a tripartite rivalry.

Unfortunately, everything is just what if.

The suffering of the dusty rose is far from over. If it wants to bloom again, if nothing unexpected happens, it should wait until the Husky period.

The Trail Blazers are still preparing for the game in an orderly manner in the next two days. They will take a break on the 27th and watch the game videos of other teams.

After a half-day training on the 28th, at around 7 p.m., the Trail Blazers ushered in their fourth game day.

Unsurprisingly, the Trail Blazers failed to take the series back to Portland, as their first-round playoff performance ended in Denver.

At 121:108, the Nuggets had almost no resistance throughout the game. After falling behind 0:3, the team collapsed and the Trail Blazers easily swept the Nuggets 4:0.

After four games, the average point difference between the two teams has stabilized at around 10 points, which also shows that there is indeed a certain strength gap between the two teams.

Of course, the gap is actually not that big. The Nuggets could have won such a game no matter what.

The key is that they won G1 and G2 at home too easily, with the Trail Blazers leading the whole game. In G3, the team went against the norm and engaged in a defensive battle, successfully destroying the Nuggets' mentality.

How can a team win if it has no confidence?

After the first round, Wang Zelin averaged 21.5 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in four games. Except for a slight drop in scoring compared to the playoffs, other statistics have increased, especially rebounds, which have increased by nearly three.

The main reason is that in the third game, Wang Zelin only scored 15 points, which was a serious hindrance. Otherwise, his average points per game would not be less than in the regular season.

But then again, without the 20 rebounds in that game, his average rebounds per game would not have increased to 15.

I can only say there are pros and cons.

However, for the media and fans, they don't care about Wang Zelin's psychological activities. They only know that at the end of the series, the Chinese boy averaged 20.10 per game...

What are you waiting for?
