NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 570 Lost streak and accident

The 24-game winning streak was ended, but the Trail Blazers were not too frustrated.

After all, they lost Aldridge, Matthews and Batum, and the Spurs played really well in this game.

After the game, players from both sides shake hands on the field for the final time.

Wang Zelin lay down one by one, and when it was his turn to talk to Duncan, he not only shook hands but also hugged Duncan.

"I remember someone said 'the future is mine'. Now it seems that you are planning to make a comeback this year?"

During the hug, Wang Zelin said softly.

"Ah..." Duncan was stunned for a moment visible to the naked eye, and then realized it later, and replied with a smile: "Who knows?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Wang Zelin smiled and punched Duncan on the chest, then looked at the other paralyzed face next to Duncan.

This guy is really paralyzed!

Wang Zelin complained silently in his heart, probably stretched out his hand on his own initiative, and asked involuntarily: "Kawhi, there is no future in the Spurs, do you want to consider coming to Portland to be my Pippen!"

"???"

At this moment, Leonard's frozen face couldn't hold back completely. He probably didn't expect that Wang Zelin would suddenly raise his head to look at Wang Zelin with a confused face, and then looked at Duncan next to him stupidly, as if to say: Has this guy's brain circuit always been so weird?

"It's just a small personal suggestion, you can think about it slowly when you go back."

Wang Zelin also said that sentence for no reason, but he had already said it, so he had to add another sentence.

"Hey, Wang, don't even think about playing Kawhi, he's a natural Spurs!"

Duncan turned his head with a dissatisfied expression.

"Hey, don't talk so full."

Wang Zelin showed a mysterious smile, then waved with Duncan and Leonard, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

After attending the press conference, Wang Zelin approached Terry Stotts: "Coach, this is not going to work!"

"I also know, but there is no way to do it." Terry Stotts said, "It is not something we can solve now that we are begging for injuries. After all, this wave of injuries has come too fast, too violent, and too scary. Tonight, the Spurs found a way to target us. In the next few games, other teams will definitely follow suit. By the way, I will talk to Orsi tomorrow to see if he can get some immediate combat power from the trading market recently."

Wang Zelin nodded, and he didn't have a good idea.

The impact of this wave of 5 consecutive customers is too hurt, and non-manpower can resist it.

At the moment, Aldridge and Matthews are the two main players, one needs three weeks, and the other needs a month.The only good news is that Batum, who was the least injured, will be able to return to the team in only one week, and should be able to catch up with the Christmas game.

According to this year's league arrangement, the Blazers' opponent in the Christmas game is either someone else or the San Antonio Spurs who just defeated them.

Therefore, Wang Zelin chose to stay after the game to discuss with Terry Stotts about the next schedule.

There are still 5 games before the Christmas game, and two of them are full of hard stubble, namely the Trail Blazers on the 22nd and the Thunder on the 23rd.

Don't look at the Thunder's current record and can't even make it to the top eight. It's just because the Wang Zha team missed too many games before the game. As long as the Wang Zha team comes back, the Thunder will still be a pretty scary team.

There is also the mosaic led by "bearded player" Harden, ridicules are ridicules, and one yard is one yard. Harden is indeed a player with MVP qualifications. He has been honing for at least one season. Next season, Harden will have a high probability of squeezing Kobe from the position of the active first shooting guard.

This is very likely to happen, stronger than Kobe, but also no match for time.

Therefore, finding some suitable immediate combat power to fill the gap caused by the absence of Aldridge's three players has become the current top priority of the Trail Blazers.Wang Zelin and Lillard have been so ruthless all the time, and the management and coaching staff are also worried that something unexpected will happen to them.

……

After losing to the Spurs, the Trail Blazers' record became 24 wins and 1 loss. On the 17th, Wang Zelin and the team welcomed the Milwaukee Bucks, which is showing a rising momentum this season, at home.

Under the leadership of Jason Kidd, the Bucks have a record of 5 games and are currently 13 wins and 12 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The Bucks in the post-Yi Jianlian era seem to have found their chosen son. With the strong support of Jason Kidd this season, our Kun Kun, the future "Greek Monster" Giannis Antetokounmpo, has gradually been promoted to the starting power forward position of the Bucks.

After a year of hard work, Kun Kun, who entered the second grade, not only has grown muscles, but also ushered in the first small climax in personal data. Currently, he can contribute 1 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 block per game.

17号晚上21:45，历经两个半小时，开拓者队以101:105，4分惜败雄鹿队。

After scoring less than 90 points for the first time in the last game, everyone's state has obviously improved in this game, but they can't help the opponent to bloom more.

The first is Kunkun, who plays the position of power forward. Tonight, he played against the lumbering Jokic. He made full use of his speed advantage and contributed 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Among them, 22 points also broke his career scoring record in a single game.

The other is Brandon Knight. Knight played against Lillard, who was in average form tonight, and scored a team-high 24 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, beating Lillard who scored 19 points and 7 assists.

There is also Chris Middleton on the bench. Tonight, he made 6 of 4 three-pointers from the outside and scored 17 points and 3 rebounds. He is a complete bench gangster.

尽管王泽林22投15中，其中罚球9中8 无比高效的砍下了38分16篮板4盖帽4助攻的数据，但架不住队友下半场外线突然断电，最终导致了这场惜败。

It is worth mentioning that this should be Wang Zelin's first two-game losing streak at home since he joined the Blazers, what a shame!
The other teams saw that the Blazers lost even the Bucks last season, and their minds became active.

There is a saying: take advantage of your illness to kill you!

All the teams are secretly gearing up, waiting to clean up a Blazers, so that they can show their face.

From a 24-game winning streak to a losing streak at home, the Blazers seemed to have changed into a team overnight, making it hard for everyone to understand.

The Portland media couldn't help but voiced concern: "From these two games, we can see that our players seem to have just finished a marathon. As long as there is a king who is still in good condition, the other players are all out of form...

In addition, they seem to be very afraid of injuries.The management should be vigilant and help the players adjust their competitive state in time. "

The fans are also very worried, but they can't understand the players' control over the wave of injuries, and the physical and mental exhaustion after a long winning streak. After all, few people can empathize with them, and more voices are still accusations.

Neil Orsi also attached great importance to this matter, and immediately arranged a team physical examination. Fortunately, after the investigation was over, there was no problem with everyone's physical condition.

But after the physical examination, the players were not free from fear and a deep sense of exhaustion from the bottom of their hearts.

On December 12th, they challenged the 19ers in an away game. The Blazers once again lost their first three-game losing streak of the season, and their opponents in the next two games of the three-game losing streak are not very strong to be honest.

Especially the 75ers, they have chosen thousands of options this year, and the talented insider Joel Embiid, who finally got it, was reimbursed before he played a game in the NBA.

Therefore, the 75ers' management had to restart the bad performance this year, hoping to get a good draft bargaining chip next year.

Before that, the 75ers had a record of 4 wins and 23 losses, and he was second to last in the Eastern Conference.

But facing this kind of team, the Trail Blazers can still lose?

Back to the 7th minute of the third quarter, when Wang Zelin scored 25 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in less than three quarters, as in the previous games, he had helped the team take a 7-point lead.

Just when all Trail Blazers fans thought that the team was finally going to end the losing streak, the good times didn't last long, and an accident happened.

Wang Zelin collided with teammate 75-man center Nurren Snoll after he swooped to grab the rebound...

This bump made Wang Zelin notice something was wrong with his left wrist, and then a pain came out.

Just as the fans and players of the Trail Blazers were about to celebrate the successful rebound, they found that Wang Zelin suddenly half-bent down, clutching his left hand, with a painful expression on his face...

Wang is injured?

Wang is injured!

Realizing what happened on the field, Terry Stotts thumped in his heart. At this moment, he regretted it very much, regretting why he didn't stop Wang Zelin from playing in advance.

"What did you bastard do!?"

Jokic was the first to rush over and pushed Nolen Snoll away.

"I... I didn't do anything."

Nolens Noel did not fight back, but raised his arms high and hurriedly faltered his explanation.

The No. 2013 pick in the first round of 6 who was almost selected on the same day last year and then traded to Philadelphia was also extremely nervous by the situation in front of him.

"You bastard!"

As Jokic said, he suddenly broke free from the shackles of his teammates, and rushed straight up to throw a heavy punch, but was stopped by a roar from his ear.

"Nicholas, stop it!"

At this time, Wang Zelin endured the severe pain, barely straightened his back, and yelled at Jokic.

"How are you, king?"

Hearing the boss's call, Jokic's mind immediately cooled down a lot. After glaring at Nolens Nuoer, he hurried over to help Wang Zelin return to the team rest area.

The chaos on the court came and went quickly. Fortunately, Wang Zelin stopped Jokic at a critical moment and did not let his fist hit the opponent's head. The referee thought about Jokic's impulsiveness and he did not continue to pursue it.

Until this time, people suddenly remembered the key points of this incident:

Wang Zelin's injury!

　Originally I just thought about squinting for a while, but I squinted too much, Chapter 3 was posted late!
　　But don't worry everyone, the injury now is just a small foreshadowing in the future. Finally, the most important thing is to say three times:
　　Never abuse the Lord!

　　Never abuse the Lord!

　　Never abuse the Lord!
