NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 822 The recent situation in the East, finally broke through 60 wins

At the post-match press conference, as expected, Draymond Green shouted at Wang Zelin again, his words full of yin and yang.

But now, Wang Zelin is too lazy to deal with such a small role.

Wang Zelin arranged 3 games in the March schedule, which is not too many, but not too few, and there will be no shortage of strong opponents during the period.

The original strategy set by the team was to strive for a breakthrough of 70 wins this month, but after experiencing a wave of two-game losing streak, the coaching staff can see that there is indeed a problem with the state of their players.

Although I don’t know what happened to their two games, but when everyone feels bad, the coaching staff doesn’t find it particularly strange, and with Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Aldridge behind the three stars, the coaching staff firmly believes that it is impossible for the team to keep losing like this.

Therefore, for the next 3 games in March, the team's strategy has been adjusted to try to ensure that the games that should be won are won.

At the same time, other strong teams in the West also have their own goals. Unlike the Trail Blazers, the Thunder, Lakers, Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Mosaics are all striving to compete for a higher ranking.

Especially the seventh and eighth-ranked Grizzlies and Mosaics, while securing a playoff spot, they also want to try not to meet the defending champion Trail Blazers early in the first round.

At this time, Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers are in full swing, with two consecutive championships in hand and a third consecutive championship coming soon. When an ordinary strong team encounters them, it is like delivering food.

Therefore, compared to the higher-ranked Thunder and Lakers teams, the competition for the teams at the bottom of the top eight is more intense.

In the East, the Cavaliers are still thriving, and their record is far above all other teams.

Yesterday the Cavaliers arranged a game against James' old rival Dirk Nowitzki.

Today is different from the past. James is still at his peak, while the old driver has entered his twilight years. There is not only a gap in strength between the two, but also the overall strength of the team.

Coinciding with this game, Irving scored 33 points and 5 rebounds on the spot with a fiery touch. James was also willing to take the opportunity to paddle, sending out 13 assists, plus 25 points and 10 rebounds...

After rowing and rowing, he accidentally got a triple-double.

With this triple-double, James successfully won the second Eastern Conference player of the week in March, and it was also his 3th best player of the season...

After this game, the Cavaliers also became the first team in the East to break through 50 wins.

Still behind them, is the 48-win Chicago Bulls.

I have to admit that Anthony Davis is still very strong as the No. 2012 pick in [-]. He can be called the best power forward of the new generation.

After all, No. 21 of the Holy City and No. 41 of Dallas are too old. The old wolf king who returned to his home team has also reached the age of indifference. The three legendary power forwards are about to retire.

The key is that a healthy Davis is definitely a representative of both offense and defense. This attribute is rare.

After joining the Bulls, he and Rose also had a very good chemical reaction.

The only pity may be that Joakim Noah, another giant of the Bulls this season, will undergo surgery to fix his left shoulder due to a dislocated right shoulder. Therefore, he will be absent for 4 to 6 months, which is equivalent to being reimbursed for the season.

This has weakened the strength of the Bulls to a certain extent, so that their record cannot catch up with the Cavaliers.

In the playoffs, without Noah as the defensive gate, the Bulls' upper limit is not expected to be much higher.

You know, Rose and Davis also have the attributes of glass people, and both of them have certain potential injuries.

Afterwards, there are four Eastern strong teams with almost the same record, the Raptors, Heat, Eagles, Celtics, and Hornets.

Among them, the Raptors and Heat now have a record of 43 wins, and the Eagles, Celtics, and Hornets have 42 wins.

The last echelon is the eighth-ranked Pacers and the ninth-ranked Pistons. The current record of the two teams is only one game away, and the Pistons may overtake the Pacers at any time.

After watching the entire Eastern Conference, Wang Zelin still feels that there is a high probability that their opponent in this year's finals will be the [-]-year-old man.

……

……

After the press conference, Wang Zelin, Coach Terry, Lillard, Aldridge and others got together for a long time that night.

In addition to reflecting on the reasons for tonight's loss, we have to look forward to the remaining 18 regular season games.

The next day, Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers left Oakland. Let's let yesterday's defeat go. Their NBA season will continue as usual.

On March 3, the Trail Blazers beat the Magic 16:121 at home. After two games of cold hands, Batum and Button finally recovered their form.

The Magic met tonight and were going to double-team Wang Zelin, and chose to let the Blazers shoot outside. As a result, they were shot 28 of 15 three-pointers in a single game, which is not too aggressive.

王泽林30分钟出场时间，25投15中拿到41分15篮板8助攻的准三双数据，打的魔术众人不要不要的。

After this game, the Trail Blazers' single-season record successfully broke through 60 wins!
After a short break, on March 3, the Trail Blazers lost 18:114 to the Thunder in an away game, and their plan to restart the winning streak was broken.

In this game, the Thunder's substitute players were in such good condition that they took off, and basically grasped the open opportunities on the outside.The most direct beneficiary is Russell Westbrook, this guy sent 16 assists tonight!
After the whole game, Westbrook scored 17 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds. This was his 12th triple-double of the season.

It seems that Master Wei will soon break out of the seal of the sewer.

作为大哥的杜兰特今天手感一般，全场15投6中命中率仅为40%，三分命中率5中1更是只有20%，靠着7中7的罚球，得到20分5篮板7助攻。

然后伊巴卡的15分7篮板，还有替补席上得分上双的埃内斯·坎特（26分）、兰迪·弗耶（11分）、卡梅隆·佩恩（11分）。

Speaking of the Thunder, although it is a little uncomfortable, Portland fans can still accept it. After all, they are also the top team most likely to break out of the West this season.

It's just that their only worry now is that the team's opponent in the next game is the San Antonio Spurs, which is also one of the western powerhouses. The old fritters of the Spurs are not easy to deal with. If they are not careful, the team is very likely to win another two-game losing streak.

3月20号，开拓者队回到主场以118:117险胜马刺队。王泽林拿到44分17篮板5助攻4盖帽，关键的最后一个助攻送给了阿尔德里奇准绝杀，伦纳德反绝杀没进。
