Chapter 630 Lets see who is the corpse(1/2)
After establishing a united front and clarifying goals, it's time to make choices.
From the 22nd to the end of the month, the Trail Blazers still have 5 games in March, including a back-to-back away game.
To be honest, the schedule is not easy.
After these 5 games,
Entering April, there are still 9 games waiting for them.
Among the 14 games in total, there are many teams that are fully capable of the playoffs, such as the Warriors, Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Pelicans, Thunder, and Mavericks.
For example, in the next game, their opponent will be the Golden State Warriors.
But the game against the Warriors is crucial, because they are the team most likely to catch up with the Trail Blazers in the league.
Since entering March, the Warriors have achieved a total of 10 wins and 2 losses, bringing their record to 55 wins and 13 losses, but they are only 3 games behind the Trail Blazers.
When it comes to threats, the Warriors rank first.
No one dares to say second.
Therefore, no matter how tired Wang Zelin is now, he still has to give his best against the Warriors. This not only affects the record ranking, but also affects the battle for the regular season MVP.
Moreover, once the two sides meet in the playoffs in the future, the side with a higher regular season winning rate will naturally have an advantage.
For top teams, sometimes even a half-point advantage is enough to become a key factor in changing the balance.
To be honest, without any open eyes, the Warriors are definitely a super dark horse that disrupted everyone's plans this season.
It was just dark for a while at the beginning of the season. No one expected that they could be dark all the way to the end of the season.
If it weren't for Wang Zelin's advantage in both team record and personal data, I'm afraid Curry would be the obvious choice for this season's regular season MVP!
It's a pity that after giving birth to a king,
He Shengku.
However, this does not mean that Wang Zelin can stabilize Diaoyutai.
As a foreign player,
He can get an mvp trophy,
In the eyes of many conservative media experts, this is already a godsend. If he wants to defend his title, he must be ahead of all major competitors in all aspects.
Therefore, the first place in the regular season must not be given to the Warriors. He must use an absolute crushing advantage to defend the mvp title!
…
There are still two days before the Warriors will play on the 24th. Wang Zelin and his teammates seize the time to rest and prepare for the strong enemy.
But these two days, the media has not been idle.
It can be said that some fans and media are eagerly looking forward to the Blazers breaking the Bulls' record of 96 wins; but more people are actually looking forward to the Blazers losing.
After all, there is only one championship, and no matter how many fans the Trail Blazers have, they cannot have more fans than the other 39 franchises.
As the Trail Blazers were double-killed by the Grizzlies, a hot topic quickly sparked discussions among countless fans.
What jumped out was ESPN expert Henry Abbott. He caught Wang Zelin in the past three games.
Performances of 22 points in a game, 23 points in a game and 27 points in a game,
All kinds of "Wang Zelin is dying" started, "Is this the so-called terrible battery life?" and the most outrageous one is this paragraph:
"Facts have proved that Wang Zelin is a system player. Just look at the last game against the Grizzlies. Once either LaMarcus Aldridge or Damian Lillard scored less than 20 points, the Grizzlies' iron team
In front of the barrel formation, he completely lost his scoring ability and only scored 27 points in the end..."
In fact, as soon as Henry Abbott's remarks came out, many colleagues were wondering, was that guy blackmailing King Zelin or bragging about Wang Zelin?
What does it mean to only score 27 points?
You know, Westbrook, who currently ranks second in the league in scoring per game, only averages 27.2 points per game. He scored 27 points with the Kings. Isn’t it very low?
Yes, compared with Wang Zelin's previous scores of 30, 40, and even 50 in a row, it is indeed a decline, but this must be viewed in conjunction with the entire league.
It’s really painful to watch!
…
Time came to the 24th, the last stop of four consecutive away games, and the Trail Blazers came to Oakland, Golden State.
At the pre-match press conference, when Wang Zelin was asked about this hot topic, he did not express his thoughts. Instead, he gave a heartfelt suggestion in front of the media:
"Mr. Henry Abbott, I think you can try to enter the comedy world. Really, please believe me, you are very talented in this area!"
Amidst the laughter of the whole hall, this episode came to an end, and everyone's attention returned to tonight's game.
To be precise, it was thrown at the Golden State Warriors.
While the Trail Blazers were resting for a few days, the Warriors just played another game at home yesterday. In the end, they effortlessly destroyed Washington's two-gun team from afar at 107:76.
In that game, Bradley Beal scored a game-high 12 points, Wall could only score 11 points, and then Kevin Seraphin and Ramon Sessions on the bench scored 12 points each.
.
Then, there was actually no player who scored in double figures.
To talk about the biggest undercover tonight, the first one is Wizards star Wall. He made 4 of 16 shots from the field and 0 of 3 three-pointers. He almost smashed the basket of Oracle Arena.
For the Warriors, Stephen Curry still performed steadily. He made 8 of 14 shots from the field, including 5 of 8 three-pointers. He scored a game-high 24 points, plus 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
The second highest scorer was Iguodala on the bench, with 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
As well as Draymond Green with 13 points, Klay Thompson with 12 points, and Masli Speights with 11 points.
A total of 6 players from the Warriors scored in double figures!
After winning the Wizards, the Warriors' record improved to 56 wins and 13 losses, firmly ranking second in the Western Conference and second in the league.
Ahead of them, the Trail Blazers, who ranked first in the league with 58 wins and 10 losses, seemed not far away.
The supremacy of the Portland Legion seems to be swaying in the wind and is in danger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is still more than half a month left in the regular season. The Blazers, who suffered from the away game against the Grizzlies in the last game, are in a weak state, and the players are staring at them behind them.
The Golden State Warriors seem to have half a foot on the top spot in the Western Conference.
At the press conference, a reporter asked Wang Zelin a question:
"The Golden State Warriors have won 6 consecutive games and are getting closer and closer to the first place in the league. But now, the situation seems to be unfavorable to the Trail Blazers. You still think that the front-runners can keep the first place in the league with success.
?"
After hearing this question, Wang Zelin's eyes changed. His face suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy, and he stared at everyone with great seriousness:
"As long as I haven't fallen, the Warriors can't climb up. Tonight, the Trail Blazers will step over the Warriors' corpses and continue to move forward!"
David Vanderpool turned his head and glanced at Wang Zelin next to him. This guy's eyes were filled with murderous intent, making people afraid to look directly at him.
In the last dozen games, the competition for first place in the regular season will be fiercer than ever!
…
"King, if you are tired, don't force yourself. You are our guarantee for the playoffs."
After the press conference ended, Wang Zelin quickly returned to the locker room. At this time, Depur, who was following him, couldn't help shouting.
"Huh? Barely...Haha David, you underestimate me too much. Don't worry, we will definitely win tonight!" Wang Zelin turned his head and gave Vanderpool a confident smile.
"But……"
Vanderpool knew that Wang Zelin was a competitive person and he would not let the Warriors succeed easily, but as soon as he was halfway through speaking, Wang Zelin held down his shoulders.
"David, just relax, I know it well. Not only do I have to win beautifully in the regular season, I will also stay strong in the playoffs! You know, my goal has always been to make the Blazers the fourth dynasty team in history.
I will not fall easily before establishing a dynasty."
After patting Vanderpool on the shoulder, Wang Zelin immediately returned to the locker room.
Alas~
Looking at the figure fading away, Vanderpool sighed.
He knew very well that at certain times, Wang Zelin was as paranoid as Kobe Bryant. Once he was sure about something, no one could change his mind.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, many great superstars in history have had their paranoid side.
Wang Zelin is now on a path that continues to lead to greatness.
Vanderpool couldn't help but light a cigarette, even though there was a bright no-smoking sign behind him...
A few minutes later, he put out his cigarette butt and walked into the office where the coaching staff was.
Is it really that easy to win three consecutive championships?
He doesn't know, but... No. 1 in the league, he knows that Wang Zelin definitely doesn't want to disappoint all the fans who support him.
Today, as the core and soul of the team, Wang Zelin's will basically represents the will of the entire Trail Blazers team - either be great or die!
Obviously, he has made his choice.
