NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 631 The best of the four moon wins, terrifying endurance
Chickens and eggs were beaten overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Zelin returned to the hotel with sloppy footsteps, called Lillard and Aldridge together, and boarded the plane back to Portland.

This year's All-Star, Wang Zelin overwhelmed the crowd and once again became the biggest winner.

The highest scoring record in a single game in the All-Star history, and surpassed the legendary Bob Pettit who won the AMVP twice, becoming the first player in history to win the MVP for three consecutive times!
He is using extraordinary strength to leave a strong mark in NBA history.

After the All-Star Game, including the 17th day, the Trail Blazers still have 4 days off.

Taking advantage of this time, the players can relax. Wang Zelin is hurrying up to make up for the deficit.

There is no way, the absurdity of last night was too difficult to handle, he assured that no cadre could stand this kind of temptation.

At the same time, the general managers of each team have indeed reached the busiest stage at this time.

According to NBA trading rules, the annual trading deadline is set on the 16th Thursday after the start of the regular season. This year's deadline is February 2.

As early as the All-Star period, rumors had already been flying around the league.

First of all, the Lakers in Angel City urgently need to add a blue-collar center. Their target candidate is none other than Adams, who was just traded to the Mavericks by the Trail Blazers.

The Kings put Rudy Gay on the shelf. On the one hand, they want to completely support the talented small forward Wiggins, on the other hand, they hope to get young players and draft picks, and want to focus on the future.

There was also news that Harden and Howard had a dual-core disagreement in the Mosaic team, which attracted the attention of many team managements, and they all wanted to get involved in different ways.I don't want to get anything extravagantly, I just want to muddy the water in the entire market so that I can make a profit.

……

……

Since there are only a few days left before the trade deadline, despite the increasing rumors, there is little information about the big fish, and even fewer real deals have been reached.

This is also the norm before the annual deadline.

What's more, the trade deadline or something has nothing to do with the Trail Blazers.

In the case of stabilizing the original main lineup, the Trail Blazers have already completed the reinforcement of inside and outside substitute players. Now the management's mentality is very peaceful, and they are patiently preparing for the game on the 20th.

After all, the arrival of the trade deadline also means that the arms race for a season is over, and all teams have reached the stage of starting to exert their strength.

Especially teams that have expectations for the playoffs must pay more attention, and the Thunder is one of them.

Before the All-Star Game, the Thunder's record was locked at 27 wins and 25 losses, tying the Pelicans with a record of 27 wins and 25 losses in the ninth place in the Western Conference. Although there is still a long way to go from the Mavericks' 35 wins and 19 losses in the eighth place in the Western Conference, as long as the Thunder's "king bomb combination" can guarantee their health, no one dares to underestimate them.

If Durant hadn't been injured for a while at the beginning of the season, followed by Ibaka's injury, the Thunder would definitely be the top four in the Western Conference, and even a strong contender for the first place in the Western Conference.

As for the Pelicans at the top, the outside world was touting that the Pelicans are very likely to become a dark horse in the playoffs this year.But helplessly, with the wave of injuries during the All-Star period of the head star Antony Davis, the hearts of countless Pelicans fans were broken.

In contrast, the big and small kings of the Thunder, plus Ibaka inside, are still very scary.

Theoretically speaking, if you want to break through the regular season and break into the playoffs this year, you need at least 45 wins or more.Now the Thunder have 30 games left. As long as their core framework remains unchanged, it is not impossible to win 18 of them, or even more.

Now, the pressure is on the Mavericks.

what?
Why not talk about the east side?
Don't make trouble, as we all know, the competitive environment in the East has never been as bad as in the West, and there are only a few real contenders for the championship.

Don't look at the Eagles' regular season this season, the record is a blast!
But don’t forget, the playoffs are the stage for superstars. The current situation of the Eagles is very similar to that of the civilian Pistons. They may be able to break into the first round, the second round, and even the Eastern Conference finals with their resilience, but it is as difficult as heaven to reproduce the glory of the civilian Pistons’ counterattack against the Lakers F4!

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. Ask yourself, the only ones who are really competitive in the East are the Pacers and the Cavaliers led by James.

可问题在于，步行者上赛季能够场均贡献21分6.8板3.5助攻1.9抢断的核心球员保罗·乔治早已赛季报销，目前20胜33负的步行者也随之退出夺冠行列。

Not surprisingly, the Eastern Conference playoffs will be dominated by James.

……

……

Time flies, and a few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the match day of their respective teams.

On February 2, the league had only two games scheduled.

One was the Thunder's home game against the Mavericks; the other was the Spurs' trip to Angel City to challenge the Clippers.

All 4 teams have the strength of the Western Conference playoffs, especially the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks, which is a fierce duel related to the two teams' playoff spots.

19号当晚，在杜兰特手感不佳时，14投4中仅拿到12分的情况下，威少发疯般地飙下34分10助攻5板2抢断。

In addition, Ibaka grabbed 22 rebounds in this field, setting a new record for his career.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks 104:89 at home, successfully surpassed the Pelicans, and ranked ninth in the Western Conference, one step closer to the playoffs.

The camera switches to the Spurs' away game against the Clippers.

In this campaign, Duncan played against the Clippers, who have the top few inside combinations in the league, and played to steal the spotlight.Personally scored 31 points and 11 rebounds, including a rare three-pointer.

You know, Duncan has only hit 29 three-pointers in his entire career. The last time he hit a three-pointer occurred on November 2012, 11, when the Spurs played against the Magic away.

813 days have passed since now!
At the same time, Duncan, who is 38 years old and 302 days old, has become the second oldest player in history to perform 30+10 miracles.

As for the number one elder, who else could it be besides a hot guy!
What's even more outrageous is that the hot man managed to achieve 4+30 four times when he was older than Duncan!

It's a pity that after the whole game, the Clippers scored 26+18 with Jordan's stats, including 28 free throws, ranking second in the history of the Clippers.

Ranked first is Wald Freeh, who set a record 1979 free throws in a single game on January 1, 14, when the Clippers were still at home in San Diego.

Of course, this is also directly related to the last quarter of the game, when Sima Weiqi resorted to cutting "Jordan" tactics at the critical moment.

……

On February 2, after a long All-Star Game, the Trail Blazers returned to the arena full of energy.

They will welcome their first opponent after the All-Star Game tonight-the Salt Lake City Jazz!
Wang Zelin was the first in the arena. He had just changed when he saw Jokic coming in with a bag on his back.

After more than half a season, the relationship between the two who often stay together for extra training is getting better and better, and Jokic usually comes to his home for dinner.

After going back and forth, Jokic also fell in love with Chinese food.

In order to let Jokic experience the richness and variety of Chinese cuisine, he specially hired two private chefs from China at high prices, one is good at Sichuan cuisine and the other is good at Cantonese cuisine.

Ahem, it's definitely not because someone is hungry.

An hour later, the players arrived one after another.

Head coach Terry Stotts and assistant coaches were also there.

After the morning's training, a pre-match meeting was held in the afternoon. For the rest of the time, Coach Terry let the players make their own arrangements.

At 19:40 in the evening, the Trail Blazers started their first game after the All-Star break.

The Jazz basically missed the playoffs this season, completely letting themselves go, focusing on polishing the young main players and hoping to win a good draft pick.

Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert, Derek Favors, Joe Ingles and other main players all got good playing time.

Among them, Gordon Hayward scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals all-around data, which also made the Jazz management firmer in his future development plan with him as the core.

As for the result of the game?

Naturally, it ended with the Blazers taking the Jazz lightly.

Entering the second half of the season, no one wants to stay, let alone think that something unexpected will happen if the Blazers play a team like the Jazz.

This time, Wang Zelin gave a good lesson to the second-year Gobert, and beat the latter in less than three quarters.

个人数据方面也是小试牛刀了一把，出战33分钟，轻松拿到了30分16篮板4助攻4盖帽的数据。

算上全明星赛前打湖人的33分15篮板6助攻3盖帽，看起来他似乎又要开始了连续30+的得分表演。

As soon as the All-Star game ended, he scored a 30+15 large double-double, which made Wang Zelinyue's best position more stable.

After the game, as usual, he took a look at the results of the teams that were most likely to meet in the first round of this year's playoffs.

首先是马刺背靠背99:110输给了勇士，水花在主场合砍45+14，拿下两连胜； GDP三人组仅有18分入账，马刺遭遇2连败。

After this battle, the news about "The old king is gone, and the new king will be established" was once again used as a news headline by the major media, and it was marked on the most conspicuous section.

There are also back-to-back Mavericks, and they ushered in the challenge of the Mosaic team at home. Although Parsons was injured and retired in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks still won the victory with the overall performance of 8 players in double figures.

Durant and Westbrook, who sat at home and watched the entire game, felt that the second half of the schedule would be extremely difficult.

Finally, he did not forget to pay attention to the game between the Lakers and the Nets.

After the game, Rondo scored 18 points and 12 assists, Kobe Bryant contributed 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Gasol scored 17 points and 10 rebounds.With the outstanding performance of the Big Three, the Lakers defeated the Nets 114:105 at home and won their first victory after the All-Star Weekend.

On February 2, the Trail Blazers continued to play at home.

The Memphis Grizzlies went to Portland. I don’t know if it’s because of the away game or because they missed the wonderful All-Star Weekend. Randolph didn’t get back his touch tonight. He made 17 of 4 shots and only scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. He became the biggest blame for the Grizzlies’ loss tonight.

Due to the abnormal performance of the second scoring point in the team, the Grizzlies finally lost by 4 points.

88:84, the game against the Grizzlies, as usual, focused on defense first.

High EQ statement: This is a night for tough guys, and the two teams played extremely hard!

Low EQ statement: Damn, when did you open a blacksmith shop?Or two? ? ?
马克·加索尔27分13个篮板4次助攻。的表现其实已经不差了，但全场27中14的王泽林，33分18个篮板和3次助攻3次盖帽的表现还是超过了他太多。

After the game, the local media in Memphis next door couldn't help exclaiming: "Even Mark and Zach can't restrain Wang? If Wang leads the Trail Blazers to continue to wreak havoc like this, when will the teams in the west have their day!"

But unfortunately, winning the Jazz and Grizzlies was just an appetizer before the meal.

In the last two games at the end of the month, the Trail Blazers ushered in two tough bones, the Spurs and the Thunder, but even so, Wang Zelin continued his fiery state after the end of the All-Star against the two strong opponents.

2月25日主场打马刺，王泽林31分13个板4次盖帽，完全没有给老邓头留半分颜面。

On February 2, against the Thunder at home, Durant, full of vengeance, scored 27 points; but lost to Wang Zelin, who smashed the Thunder's entire inside team into pieces...

全场29投20中，罚球8中5，怒砍45分22板7盖帽，亲手泯灭雷霆！
On the 28th, the Trail Blazers, who have won four consecutive victories at home, traveled from the Northwest to Sacramento in the Pacific.

However, compared with the previous hard dishes, the weak Kings currently have a record of only 20 wins and 36 losses. In front of the menacing Wang Zelin and others, it looks like a fresh and delicious after-dinner snack.

As a result, the Blazers won the game without bloodshed. Wang Zelin scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, and got a quasi-triple-double.

After finishing the schedule in February, the Blazers played a total of 2 regular season games, with a record of 58 wins and 50 losses...

The fastest team in the league to reach 50 wins!

At the same time, they will continue to suppress the Golden State Warriors with 45 wins and 11 losses, firmly sitting first in the league!

Throughout February, the Blazers played a total of 2 games and achieved a record of 10 wins and 9 loss. The winning rate is quite terrifying.

At this point, everyone knows that the best player of the month in February is the number 2 of the Trail Blazers!
The same is true.

On the morning of March 3, Wang Zelin's mobile phone was filled with a lot of congratulatory text messages and missed calls, and it almost exploded.

Really, he is not Zhang Erkang Yida, he will overflow when he is full...

Turning on the phone and looking, as expected, they all congratulated me for winning the best of the four moons.

He opened the browser and entered the official website, and he quickly saw the best candidate for the Eastern Month...

Lei Balong, it really is you!

During February, the Cleveland Cavaliers were scheduled for a total of 2 games. Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers achieved a record of 8 wins and 8 losses.

The key is that during February, the Cavaliers completely overtook the Chicago Bulls, ranking among the top two in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Eagles.

In addition, the scoring of all members of the Eagles is too balanced, and all five record-breaking starters are selected once. It is impossible for the league to do it again.

The above is the main reason why James was successfully selected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in February with 24.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists.

In the West, judging from the record in February, the strong contenders for the best player of the month are the Trail Blazers boss Wang Zelin, Warriors boss Curry, Mosaic boss Harden and Thunder's second-in-command Westbrook.

However, among the latter three, Harden and Westbrook both lost to Wang Zelin in their February matches. The only one who can really pose a certain threat to him is a primary school student.

In terms of team record, the Warriors played 2 games in February and achieved 11 wins and 8 losses under the leadership of Curry. First of all, the Warriors are not as good as the Trail Blazers in terms of record.

Secondly, not to mention personal data. Although Curry has ushered in the peak of his career at this stage, his wave 13 soul has not really awakened, and he has not yet fully entered the state of Ku Ritian.

In human terms, he still feels a little timid in scoring more or less now, and he has not really entered the level of scoring champion.

To be more accurate, the Jinzhou elementary school student has now possessed the strength of a scoring champion, but he has not yet possessed the confidence that a scoring champion should have.

It may be because the growth rate of strength has exceeded his own imagination, and even Curry himself has not noticed it. He is already very strong now, so that his mentality has not been corrected.

After all, before winning the championship, any Ku fan can see that his mentality is actually a bit inferior.

This has caused Curry to lead the team with strong results, but his personal data is relatively average compared to the other stars who are also in the top of the MVP list in the regular season.

截止目前，赛季场均输出23.5分7.8次助攻4.3个篮板0.3次盖帽以及……颇为亮眼的2次抢断。

即便是2月份，数据稍稍有所上涨，也只是打出了24+8+4+2的表现。

In contrast.

2月份首发出战10场比赛的王泽林，个人数据为场均31.4分15.2个篮板4.2次助攻3.7次盖帽0.3次抢断！
Whether it is from the perspective of the media or the fans, he is the more exaggerated one.

Curry's average data in February is slightly more than Wang Zelin in assists and steals, and the three major data of points, rebounds and blocks, as well as some advanced data, are lagging behind in all aspects.

In the end, he also succeeded in overpowering Curry, Harden, and Westbrook, and once again won the best of the month in the Western Conference!

In addition to the shortened season, normally, there will be 6 monthly best selections in each regular season, which will largely affect the final regular MVP selection.

Today, Wang Zelin has won the top four in the Western Conference. In the regular season MVP competition, he is already far ahead of other competitors.

最重要的是，从第一个单月完整赛季开始，11月王泽林场均能够贡献25.6分13.6个篮板；12月场均贡献38.4分16.6个篮板；15年首月场均贡献32.3分15.6个篮板……

In other words, this is the third time this season that Wang Zelin averaged more than 30+10 per game in a single month.

This terrifying endurance is what makes other competitors most desperate.
