NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 1063 Ten consecutive victories, invincible!
After defeating the Grizzlies, the Blazers have recently ushered in a wave of six consecutive victories. In the seven games in the first half of January, except for the Warriors losing on the 1st, they won all the remaining six games.

37 wins and 4 losses, continue to lead the league!
But defeating the Grizzlies was only the beginning of the Trail Blazers' rampage in 2017.

Entering the second half of January, on the 1th, the Blazers defeated the Hornets without bloodshed.

1月18日，开拓者和75人再次相遇。上一次双方交手时，王泽林轰下了赛季代表作之一的50分19篮板5助攻5盖帽2抢断。

Today, Embiid, the great Philadelphia emperor, vowed to be ashamed.

As a result, at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, under the witness of the four championship flags flying over the Trail Blazers Arena, the 75 players were stunned by an incredible 18:0 by the Trail Blazers headed by Wang Zelin!

The high morale of the Blazers turned into an extremely tough defense on the field. The Blazers' defense was extremely tough both physically and psychologically.

75ers coach Brett Brown waited for the flowers to fade away, but he didn't see the 75ers score...

Offensive and defensive transition, 75 people attack.

Even the home referee couldn't stand it any longer. Embiid's heart was moved for a while. Embiid singled out Wang Zelin, turned over and fell to the ground after a jump shot. The whistle blew immediately.

Regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, the referee has given enough face to the NBA

The bald referee glanced at Embiid: I can only help so much.

The start of 75 was indeed a little bit too tragic. I didn't even look at it, even Wang Zelin, the main player, didn't bother to pursue anything after being called a foul?
Just take pity on our great emperor.

But for some people, the mud cannot support the wall.

"Duang! Duang!"

Embiid stood on the free throw line and hit all the irons with consecutive additional penalties. The rebound was accepted by Jokic.

The referee shook his head, and let the 75 people resign themselves to fate, he didn't want to care anymore.

Offensive and defensive transition, Lillard assisted Wang Zelin to complete the air boost, and the Blazers played an incredible 20:0 start.

Some beautiful fans at the scene said that they were about to get wet.

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 20ers after a wave of 0:75 was played by the Blazers.

最终，恩比德倒是靠着28次出手“轰”下了22分13个篮板3次封盖的两双表现，起码在数据上维持了体面，但75人却也以89:123败下阵来。

Wang Zelin once again proved that he is still the only king on the Void Throne.

Emperor Embiid?
Sorry, everything in this league doesn't belong to you yet.

After the 75ers, the 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 emphasis far exceeded those of the Lakers' rookie period in his previous life.

Since the start of the game, Ingraham has averaged 16 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, just like a super giant.

Of course, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that the future super giant, but in him, the Green Army management really saw the talent potential of the future guaranteed All-Star.

Don't think it's impossible, sometimes that's how circumstances affect a rookie player.

Take Darko Milicic, the No. 03 genius of the Platinum Generation in 18, for example. If this [-]-year-old talented white forward from Europe hadn’t suffered eight lifetimes of misfortune, he would have met the “ultimate old stubborn” Larry Brown who may be the most disliked rookie in NBA history. "Bosh is bad, but he is also an All-Star player!

The No. 5 pick in the super year, the average playing time in the first three seasons of the rookie contract period is about [-] minutes per game, and the average shooting time is less than two times per game... Such an ingenious way of "cultivating" rookies, even if the rookie Joe God comes, [-] million will have to become parallel imports!
It's a pity that Milicic's NBA career has no ifs.

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 her previous life, the talented Yingge was dragged by the Lakers for three years and was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in the final year of her rookie contract. With almost the same playing time, Yingge took only 4 more shots, and her average per game ushered in an all-round skyrocketing.

18~19赛季，湖人时期场均33分钟的出场时间，数据为18+5+3；19~20赛季，鹈鹕时期场均34分钟的出场时间，数据暴涨到了24+6+4+1。

Judging from the current attitude of the Green Army towards Ingram's vigorous training, he will take off with a high probability in at most two years.

In addition to the talented rookie Ingram, the Green Army's starting lineup also includes Thomas Jr., CJ McCollum, Al Horford, and Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Kelly Olynyk on the bench...

This lineup really has everything you want!
It's no wonder that the Green Army's rise is so rapid. They were still doing poorly in the past few years, but this year they immediately became a top team with the ability to reach the conference finals.

Such an opponent... It's exciting to think about it!

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

This battle can be described as a thunderbolt, especially the Celtics leader Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas Jr.'s performance this season is not bad, averaging more than 29 points per game, which is infinitely close to 30 points, making him the strongest offensive point guard in the Eastern Conference recognized by the media and fans.

In addition, Thomas Jr. has a very cool nickname this season-the king of the last quarter!
What do you mean?
This means that so far this season, Thomas Jr. has averaged 10.3 points in the fourth quarter. If he continues, he will set a new NBA record.

No wonder the fans have given him the nickname of the king of the last quarter, and now he can often point his finger to his wrist in the fourth quarter:
"The whole world knows whose time the fourth quarter goes in!"

This should be regarded as an alternative watch.

Ahem, let’s get down to business.

The battle between the two sides tonight is not without anxiety. After the first half, the Celtics at home led the Blazers by 66 points 61-5.

The reason why he was able to take the lead is Thomas Jr.'s contribution.

In the first half, he took 10 shots, 7 hits, and his shooting percentage reached an astonishing 70%. With a height of 1 meters, he single-handedly scored 75 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists in the halftime in a world full of giants.

虽然王泽林的表现要更加出色，半场12投8中轰下了26分9篮板2助攻3盖帽，但却难掩小托马斯的绝代英姿。

Just because of his height of 1 meters, when he scored frequently on the field, the shocking effect was too prominent, which made people feel like he was playing 75k again.

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

除了小托马斯，凯尔特人今晚还有三人状态大爆发。霍福德半场12分5篮板3助攻、斯玛特替补半场11分2篮板2助攻1抢断、天才新秀英格拉姆半场13分4篮板。

During the first half, 4 of the Celtics scored in double figures, and their offensive efficiency was terrifying.In contrast to the Blazers, apart from Wang Zelin in the first half, Lillard was the only one scoring in double figures.

The game entered the third quarter, just as the Celtics were about to go all out to open the score, Lillard, the starting point guard for the dynasty, suddenly went berserk.

Perhaps it was because he only scored 10 points in the first half, while the Celtics No. 4, who was a head shorter than himself and lost two rounds of body weight, scored 17 points. This contrast deeply stimulated Lillard.

Not long after the third quarter started, Lillard singled out Thomas Jr. at the top of the arc, and hit a three-pointer against the latter to overtake the score.

In the following time, Lillard started the crazy scoring mode. In the end, he made 11 of 7 shots in a single quarter and scored 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 Jr.'s defense, which severely suppressed the arrogance of the home team.

After three quarters, the Blazers 98:91, in turn led the Celtics by 7 points.

The game entered the final quarter, and it came to the time of Thomas Jr., which is very familiar to the Green Army fans, and Thomas Jr. did not disappoint the fans, and started the "King of the Final Quarter" mode every day.

单节8投4中，三分球3中1，罚球5中4，高效轰下了13分1助攻，其末节凶猛火力可见一斑。

In the last few rounds, the scores of the two sides took the lead alternately, the atmosphere of the scene was extremely solemn, and the fans did not dare to breathe.

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

In theory, as long as Wang Zelin wants to, he can take Thomas Jr.'s title of "King of the Last Quarter", but the fact is that the Blazers don't need to fight their opponents until the last quarter like the Celtics. In many cases, they only need to launch a wave in the third quarter to easily take the game away.

In this regard, the Golden State Warriors are the same.

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 of get off work in three quarters, and the score in the final quarter is naturally not as high as Thomas Jr.'s.

Little Thomas is very strong and litchi, there is no doubt about it!
But the cruel NBA once again told people the fact that the importance of talent!
The superstars who have appeared in the long history of the NBA are all talented people.

Even "Big Bird" Larry Bird, who is generally considered to be the weakest in physical fitness among the top ten giants in NBA history, has historically top-notch shooting touch and organizational talent that ordinary people do not possess, and... probably the best trash talking ability in history!

In these areas, Bird is also a gifted generation.

In contrast, Thomas Jr.'s shortcomings are too obvious.

Because of his height, it directly imprisoned his upper limit development.

特别是到了更残酷的季后赛战场中，1米85、1米95、2米05这些身高能够在绝境中完成的极少数高难度出手，是1米75的小托马斯永远也无法做到的，这就是他的致命短板！
But he is the leader of the Celtics again... This is very embarrassing.

最终，小托马斯3投1中，而王泽林关键时期的4投4中，直接帮助开拓者以129:125战胜了凯尔特人。

From January 1th to the present, from the Lakers, Cavaliers, Grizzlies and Celtics, the Blazers have won a wave of nine consecutive victories with extremely high gold content. They have defeated several active teams!
And in every game, it may seem that the early stage of playing against the opponent is a little thrilling, but when it comes to the real decisive moment, the Blazers can handle it with ease, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

On the night of the 20th, the Trail Blazers and their teammates took a chartered flight to Los Angeles overnight. Tomorrow night they will play against the Lakers for the third time at the Staples Center.

They are determined to win this game, because it is related to the team's 10-game winning streak.

So far, no team has won two 10-game winning streaks this season.If the Blazers can do it, whether it is the team's fourth title defense or Wang Zelin's fourth MVP defense, it will greatly increase.

No matter how bald Hua secretly obstructs, as long as Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers can continue their current dominant performance, it will be enough to suppress all unfavorable voices.

In the land of Milijian, most people belong to Mu Qiang in their bones.

As long as this group of people is conquered, a brilliant trend will be formed. No matter how much Bald Hua tries to find fault with Wang Zelin, the end will only be asking for trouble.

And the back-to-back Blazers away game against the Lakers on January 1 faced the unfavorable eyes of countless people and maintained their recent good state.

Still the same sentence, the current Big Three of the Lakers seem to be famous, but in fact they are just paper tigers, which can be broken with a light poke.

The Lakers still played hard in this game, and the offensive battle between Kobe and Wang Zelin still made the fans hooked.

But tonight Jokic's 9-of-5 three-pointers from the perimeter became a turning point in the game.

Lakers coach Walton Jr. didn't take Jokic's three-pointers seriously at the beginning. Even the night Jokic just scored a career-high 36 points a while ago, he didn't show too much offensive threat.

Combined with the statistics of the past two seasons, Wharton Jr. firmly believes that Jokic is just an ordinary anti-aircraft gun, and he can only shoot open positions.

No way, beside Wang Zelin, the bright moon, the shining points of too many people are covered by the light released by him alone. No wonder Wharton Jr. has stereotypes for other players of the Blazers.

Well now, under Walton Jr.'s decision, the Lakers chose to let go of Jokic's shot, betting that the Serbian white fat man wouldn't make a few.

Then, they were shot to death by Jokic.

Wang Zelin's daily 35+15, this kind of performance can be regarded as playing on him, after all, the season average data is not enough yet.

Jokic made a perfect three-pointer and slapped Walton, who looked down on him, with a few big mouths. He personally scored a quasi-triple-double with 31 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers 127:115. Since Wang Zelin's miracles of 30+, 40+, 50+... and even 80+ triple-doubles have appeared at every turn, it is inevitable to make people feel a little tired. Jokic, who played a brilliant performance, once again successfully pulled out his teeth, winning three single-game bests in the season.

After the news came out, the media frenziedly built up momentum, and the fans touted it vigorously. His All-Star votes ushered in another wave of skyrocketing. Currently, he has a tendency to catch up with Durant and rank first in the Western Conference forward.

So far, the Blazers have won ten consecutive victories!

To describe it in one word is ~ invincible spicy!
