NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 829 Defeating the Green Army, the first victory in April

But in this way, things are more beneficial to Wang Zelin.

Don't look at Westbrook getting the best player of the month in March, which may improve a few rankings in the MVP competition, but don't forget, he is not the star of the Oklahoma City Thunder after all.

The boss of the Thunder is still Kevin Durant!
Therefore, no matter how much his MVP ranking improves, it is impossible to surpass Durant, otherwise let Durant put it somewhere.

Therefore, just from the status of the team, Westbrook is doomed to miss the MVP chase this season.

Curry is the only one who can really compete with Wang Zelin from beginning to end.

But compared with Wang Zelin, Curry has a clear shortcoming, that is, he has never won the best player of the month in the Western Conference even once from beginning to end.

Five months have passed since the new season, and the best players of the month in the Western Conference produced during these five months are:
15年11月，场均36+17+5+4+1的王泽林；

15年12月，场均40+18+5+4+1的王泽林；

16年1月，场均28+9+4+1+1的杜兰特；

16年2月，场均37+18+3+4+1的王泽林；

以及刚刚新鲜出炉的16年3月，场均20+8+10准三双的威斯布鲁克！
As we all know, the competition for the MVP of the NBA regular season every year will be affected to a certain extent by the division's best player of the month.

The more times the division's best player of the month wins, on the one hand, it is equivalent to confirming your dominance during the regular season.

Therefore, since Curry has nothing like himself and lost to Westbrook, from another perspective, Wang Zelin, who has won the Yueyue family in the Western Conference three times, is still the more dominant one in the MVP competition.

Now, the Trail Blazers' regular season record is 66 wins and 7 losses, while the Warriors' current record is 65 wins and 8 losses. Both sides have 9 games left in the last month, and both are likely to break the 96-win miracle of the Chicago Bulls in the 72 season.

Next, as long as the Trail Blazers maintain their record lead in the last month, there will be a high probability that Wang Zelin will win the best player of the month in the Western Conference in the last month.

In this way, the best match between him and Curry will be 4:1, and the competitiveness of MVP will be greatly enhanced.

Taking a step back, even if the league makes troubles and awards Curry the Western Conference player of the month in the last month, then he can still maintain his advantage by virtue of his early accumulation.

No matter what, no one can stop his dominance of the MVP San Lianzhuang!

Then, Wang Zelin casually picked the winner of the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March.

It's you again~ Leibalong!
Seeing the familiar name appearing on the official website, Wang Zelin once again affirmed his thoughts.

That guy James was definitely playing in the first half of the season, and he didn't start to make an official effort until after the All-Star weekend.

No, in the past month, James led the Cavaliers to a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, leading the Eastern Conference.

个人数据方面，詹姆斯场均可以得到25.6分8.2个篮板7.1个助攻1.4次抢断0.8次盖帽。投篮命中率53.8%，三分命中率比较一般，只有33.3%。

However, it is already a terrible thing to put such an outside line on James.After all, everyone knows that James' strongest point is his unique outside breakthrough in history!
Relying on both team record and personal data, and both are excellent, James defeated Rose, Davis, Raptors brothers and many other stars, and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the second time in a single season.

However, James' name has never appeared in Wang Zelin's list of competitions.

Still the same sentence, no one can be young forever, but there are always batches of young people appearing.

James is already in his early thirties, and the only thing he has hope for in his future career plan may be team honor.

It was already difficult for him to get involved in a competition for personal honor.

Unless one day he can also lead the Cavaliers to perform a wave of regular season miracles comparable to the [-] Bulls like Wang Zelin and Curry, only in this way will it be possible to compete for the MVP.

To be honest, among the players in the Eastern Conference, James poses a greater threat to Wang Zelin than Davis.

……

After a day of preparations, on the evening of April 4st, the Trail Blazers ushered in the Boston Celtics led by the shortest active leader Thomas Jr. at home.

After the game started, Thomas Jr. seemed to be pumped with chicken blood, and shot from inside and outside. The little man was like a loach, and he was spinning around. For a while, the outside line of the Trail Blazers really couldn't do anything about him.

首节打完，凯尔特人凭借着11:2的小高潮开局，其中小托马斯贡献了8分，31:26暂时领先开拓者队5分。

Entering the second quarter, Evan Turner, the second place in the 10-year list, began to fire frequently from the outside. Not to mention, his touch was really good, and he scored two three-pointers in a row.

This caused the Trail Blazers to fall behind by 11 points in this quarter, but in the last 3 minutes, after coach Terry replaced the main force, Wang Zelin and Lillard scored consecutive pick-and-rolls to help the team narrow the point difference to 54:58.

The intermission ended, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

Just entering the third quarter, Celtics coach Stevens felt that the situation on the field changed suddenly. The Trail Blazers sent a lineup of Beverly, Button, Batum, Harrell, and Wang Zelin to focus on defense.

When the Trail Blazers instantly increased the defensive intensity on the court to the playoff level, the other players of the Green Army suddenly panicked and made frequent mistakes. Then Wang Zelin and his teammates seized the opportunity to complete the fast break counterattack.

In half a quarter, Wang Zelin shot or passed in the low post, leading the Trail Blazers to a 21:6 offensive wave, overtaking the Celtics by 16 points.

Due to the one-sided situation happened too quickly, when Stevens came back to his senses, he realized that the team had fallen so far behind, and hurriedly replaced Thomas Jr..

It's a pity that Thomas Jr. is stronger than he is, and even with his small, smart, and fast style, he played a bit of the "answer" Allen Iverson back then.

But under the tight defensive system of the Trail Blazers, he was like a prey entangled in a spider web, and the final outcome could only be defeat.

……

118:91，在王泽林里拿到41分18篮板10助攻4盖帽1抢断的表现下，开拓者队轻取绿军，拿下四月首胜。

If we say that at the end of the first half, the Green Army players could still see some chances of winning, but after Wang Zelin led the team to a 39:14 offensive climax in the third quarter, the game completely lost suspense.

At the end of the quarter, Stevens had no choice but to appoint Thomas, who looked unwilling, on the bench, and raised the white flag to surrender early.
