NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 643 Locked in MVP, 70 wins are imminent

战胜了爵士队的开拓者队，2014~2015赛季常规赛战绩正式来到了60胜10负，成为了联盟首支拿到60胜的球队。

But this is not enough to stop them from moving forward, because the March game is not over yet.

After a day of adjustments, on March 3, the Trail Blazers ushered in another game against the Suns at home.

The Suns' previous record was 36 wins and 36 losses, ranking No. 11 in the West, basically missing the playoffs.

In this game, facing the Trail Blazers, the generals of the Suns did not put up much resistance. In the end, 105:81, the Trail Blazers won the 61st victory of the season without bloodshed.

然后，到了28号这天，正当所有人都热烈讨论开拓者队奔赴丹佛魔鬼主场，最终114:120不敌七人上双的掘金队，同时也不由得对王泽林38分16个篮板4次助攻4次盖帽2次抢断却无力救助的豪华数据心生感慨。

On this night, Thunder general manager Sam Presti suddenly announced the sad news that the team's star and four-time scoring champion Kevin Durant was reimbursed for the season due to injury.

According to official reports, Durant's fractured part of his right foot has recurred again. He will undergo bone graft surgery to solve this problem. The next diagnosis is expected to take 4 to 6 months.

In fact, as early as October last year, when Durant was diagnosed with a fracture of the fifth bone of his right foot, he performed surgery on his right foot in time.

However, that operation did not completely improve the situation. Since the screws left in the foot had been rubbing against the bones in other parts, causing discomfort to it, Durant's right foot has since become Durant's Achilles' heel.

Since entering the league in 07, Durant has maintained a very high attendance rate, and he can also be called an iron man.Looking at his absence in a single season before, the maximum number of games was only 8 games. In the previous two seasons, Durant played 81 games. In the previous 7 years, he only missed 16 games in total.

However, due to foot injuries that plagued Durant and cheated for a long time this season, Shangguan only played 27 games, averaging 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

The scoring hit a new low since his rookie season.

Moreover, Durant's reimbursement for the season not only means that the Thunder's prospects for this season are bleak, but also means that Westbrook can only take on the heavy responsibility of the team alone.

In addition to Durant, Ibaka, the team's big gatekeeper, also underwent right-leaning surgery earlier this month and will be absent for 4 to 6 weeks. After finally ranking in the top ten in the Western Conference, the Thunder basically missed the playoffs, let alone the championship.

……

The Thunder are out of the title race, but the competition in the West hasn't waned one bit.

The Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and even the Mosaic, Clippers, and Grizzlies all have the strength to compete for the championship.

This year's West is absolutely hell!
The Trail Blazers' next game is back at home against the Philadelphia 75ers.

The Philadelphia management is also unlucky. The cornerstone of the team that he has been obsessed with and the rise hope that Joel Embiid will be reimbursed for the season without playing a game, and Wang Zelin knows very well that Embiid will continue to be reimbursed for the season next season.

However, Embiid, who was on a truce due to injury, couldn't stay idle, and he often got together on Twitter, so he was dubbed "the little prince of Twitter!"

In the Twitter world, netizens commented on him: he may be late for major hot topics, but he has never been absent.

Back to the game.

In the last battle at the end of March, the opponent was the 3ers with a record of 18 wins and 56 losses. The Trail Blazers could not find any reason to lose.

They scored 72 points in just halftime, leading their opponents by 25 points; after three quarters, the score between the two sides came to 96 to 65, and the lead came to 31 points!
In the final quarter, Wang Zelin clocked out of get off work early with a double-double of 25 points and 14 rebounds.

In the end, 121:86, the Trail Blazers beat their opponents by 35 points at home, and their record became 62 wins and 11 losses.

With 9 games left before the end of the regular season, all Trail Blazers fans are looking forward to their home team becoming the second team in history to win 70 wins.

After all, there have been several 69-win teams in history, but there are no latecomers to teams with more than 70 wins except for the Chicago Bulls.

Now, the last half month of the regular season is left, and the Trail Blazers with 62 wins and 11 losses are not so far away from 70 wins!
After the time entered April, Wang Zelin continued to be the best player of the month in the Western Conference by virtue of his explosive personal data.

东部那边颁给了率队15胜3负的詹姆斯，詹姆斯的个人数据和2月份相差不多，场均24.7分6.4个篮板篮板8.5次助攻1.7次抢断0.7次盖帽。

In all fairness, the Cavaliers were scheduled for 3 games by the league in March, the team with the most games in the league last month.

In the month of the devil's schedule, especially the 3 days and 6 games in the last few days of March, it was outrageous, but James can still maintain this stable and terrible output, which has to be admirable.

Today, the Cavaliers have a record of 52 wins and 23 losses, which is 2 games away from the number one Eagles.

However, even though James won the best of the month for the second time this season, he still has little pressure on Wang Zelin in the MVP competition list.

Because Wang Zelin has won the best of the month for the fifth time this season, even if he did not continue to win the best of the month in April, the regular season MVP of this season is basically guaranteed for him.

It's just that Wang Zelin, the five-month best player, lost to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first game in April, and his record came to 4 wins and 62 losses.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Wang Zelin a question, "What do you think is the main reason for the Trail Blazers' loss in this game? Next, can you continue to maintain the number one throne in the league?"

After hearing this question, Wang Zelin's eyes changed and became extremely serious.

"I am responsible for the loss tonight, but I promise, this will be the last game the Trail Blazers lose this season! I promise!"

At this moment, Wang Zelin's eyes were full of murderous intent, so that everyone present did not dare to look directly at him.

……

The remaining 8 games are still critical for the Blazers.

In the first game at the beginning of the month, they lost to Kuaishou, who had won three games in a row before, while their other major competitor, the Golden State Warriors, defeated the Suns on this day and won 59 wins. Now the record between the two sides has returned to the gap of three wins.

Once there is a big ups and downs next, they are likely to be squeezed out by the Warriors.

First and second, it seems that it is only a ranking difference, but if both teams reach the Western Conference Finals, it means home court advantage.

If the Trail Blazers meet the Warriors, they certainly don't want to lose this.

So for the next games, Wang Zelin will go all out!
Thanks to the team management's understanding of his and Lillard's physical endurance, they have not been forced to enter the rotation list.

People like Garnett, Carter, Matthews, and Aldridge now have to take a break from time to time.

On April 4rd, the Trail Blazers and the Lakers ushered in the last match of the season.

The current Lakers rank seventh in the West with a record of 48 wins and 26 losses, only 2 more wins than the Mavericks who are ranked eighth behind.

To be on the safe side, all the Big Three of the Lakers played tonight.

It's just that in this game, Kobe didn't have the superb state of scoring 51 points against the Timberwolves before.After all, he is almost 37 years old, how can his body recover faster than when he was young.

The Trail Blazers finally won the game steadily and refused to lose two games in a row.

To win the Lakers, the opponents in the next three games are very average. Whether it is the Pelicans, Nets or Timberwolves, they are not opponents of the Blazers.

It is worth mentioning that, in the back-to-back games against the Timberwolves on the night of April 4th, Garnett, who had raised two games before, made an effort tonight. He started the game in a season-high 4 minutes and scored a large double-double of 34 points and 24 rebounds. He taught a wave of young Timberwolves.

Two days later, the Trail Blazers ushered in the Warriors at home, and the two sides played against each other for the last time of the season.

But since the Warriors only have two games, the regular season is over, and they are still three games behind the Trail Blazers, it is impossible to overtake the Trail Blazers and become the number one in the league.

So tonight, Cole directly put Curry, Thompson and other key players on the rotation list.

In this game, they don't want the Warriors.

At the same time, it also means that Curry officially chose to take a step back in the regular season MVP battle with Wang Zelin.

In the end, what was thought to be the most difficult bone in April was solved so easily.

After defeating the Warriors and winning 5 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers' record at this time has reached 67 wins and 12 losses, and they are bound to win 70 wins!
After this battle, no one can stop Wang Zelin from defending the MVP title.

11号在主场背靠背迎战爵士，王泽林砍下赛季最后一次40+，全场贡献41分17个篮板3次盖帽3次助攻，成功率领球队以116:91战胜了对手。

Get the 68th win!
On the 13th, Wang Zelin and his teammates went to Oklahoma City to face the Thunder without Durant and Serge Ibaka.

At the end of the game, Westbrook gave everything, scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in four quarters, leading the Thunder tenaciously into overtime.

It's just that during the overtime period, he still has combat effectiveness, but other teammates can no longer match the intensity of the game imposed by the Trail Blazers.

最终，末节4分1篮板，全场36分11个篮板7次助攻2次抢断的威少，在主场不敌开拓者。

The Thunder's record is fixed at 43 wins and 38 losses. Even if they win the last regular season game, they are destined to miss the playoffs this year.

For the Trail Blazers, their record has reached 69 wins and 12 losses, which has already broken the best record in team history of 67 wins and 15 losses just set last season.

Next, their last stop is to return to the Rose Garden Arena at home, and then defeat the last opponent, the Dallas Mavericks, to become the second 70-win team in NBA history.

This day has finally come.
