On the court, all the Trail Blazers players gathered around Aldridge, and Lillard jumped directly onto the former. His face was no longer as cold as before, but filled with joy and carnival.
After the various cheers from the audience dispersed, there was only one voice left.
"Lamarcus!"
"MVP!"
"Lamarcus!"
"MVP!"
"..."
This was the first time Aldridge heard everyone chanting his name in the Rose Garden and calling him "MVP!"
The last time a player received this kind of treatment, his name was Brandon Roy.
Originally, in his expectation, the next player to receive such treatment would be either Lillard or Wang Zelin.
But he didn't expect that such a day would come for him, and he would finally be treated like a hero.
Maybe, probably, maybe... there is something worthy of my nostalgia in this city.
Aldridge looked at the winning ball handed over by Wang Zelin in his hand, and his eyes instantly became moist.
Years of grievances and unwillingness suddenly broke out at this moment. Aldridge could no longer control his emotions and cried while holding the basketball in his hand.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!
There is nothing shameful about crying. Sometimes men really need pain to relieve their inner pressure.
After suffering, being tired, and crying, these things will turn into hard armor and make them stronger.
Just like Aldridge at this moment, this cry seemed to take away the knot of depression for many years and gave him a new life.
…
105:104!
The dark horse team Trail Blazers relied on star "softie" Aldridge's buzzer-beater to narrowly defeat the runner-up and powerful Thunder team by one point.
28 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks!
This is the data Aldridge handed over in this game.
When the reporters broke through the siege and came to Aldridge, before they could start asking questions, Wang Zelin brought a large bottle of champagne from nowhere and sprayed it at Aldridge.
"Did you see it? Our great leader led the team to defeat the invincible Thunder team. We won. LaMarcus is a well-deserved superstar. He is far underestimated."
Wang Zelin was still in the excitement stage and roared excitedly. He also grabbed an ice bucket from the staff nearby and poured it on Aldridge's head.
"Ah! Ah!!"
Looking at Wang Zelin who was as happy as a child, Aldridge took the reporter's microphone and answered.
"The biggest contributor to this victory is not me, but the king!"
"He grabbed 33 rebounds tonight, including the last two crucial offensive rebounds. He is the king of the Rose Garden tonight!"
Aldridge, who has always been used to being left out, seemed a little unaccustomed to the reporters' long-range sprints.
At this moment, his mind suddenly recalled Wang Zelin's crazy scramble for offensive rebounds at the last moment, and he finally called Wang Zelin's nickname "king!" for the first time from the bottom of his heart!
When the winning goal was made, Aldridge, who was greeted with cheers like a tsunami from the audience, seemed to understand something in his heart.
Aldridge finally understood: It turned out that deep down in his heart, he wanted to get a position that had never been the boss of the team. What he wanted more was just a recognition and a sense of belonging...
Between himself and Roy, Aldridge couldn't figure out why the team chose the latter.
But at the last moment of today's game, when he had already chosen to give up in his heart, Wang Zelin's spirit of never giving up until the last second completely shocked him.
It turns out that some people are really born to be leaders. Compared with the little guy in front of him, his character is destined to never become a true leader.
Tightening the orange basketball that killed the game in his hand, Aldridge couldn't help but smile: Maybe charging into battle is his destiny, and the position of commander should be left to others!
When Aldridge's voice spread through the microphone throughout the Rose Garden Arena, everyone remembered what young man No. 36 had done in this game, and his highlight shots began to emerge in everyone's mind.
Backboards, backboards!
Dunk, dunk!
The words rebound and dunk flashed through everyone's mind instantly.
20 points and 33 rebounds!
Wang Zelin's performance in this game was finally shown on the public screen.
"Hiss~~~"
18 offensive rebounds, 15 backcourt rebounds.
Alternative 30+20!
30+ rebounds in a single game shocked everyone.
The Thunder players who had not yet left the field looked at the 33 rebounds in Wang Zelin's data column and suddenly felt that they did not regret losing this game.
Since the 21st century, only two people in the NBA have achieved the feat of 30+ rebounds in a single game, and they both ultimately defeated their opponents.
In the 2010-11 regular season, the Timberwolves played the Knicks at home. The new "Wolf King" Kevin Love got the highest 31 rebounds in a single game since the new century and the highest 31 points in the game!
Relying on double 31 data, Love led the team to successfully defend their home court and defeated the Knicks 112:103.
In the following 11-12 season, Anzhu showed his prowess when playing against the Spurs. He scored 16 points and 30 rebounds in the game, becoming the second player in the new century. He was famous for a while.
No wonder he later dared to shout the slogan "Mamba is old, the nunnery leader should be established"!
And now, the third player to grab 30+ rebounds in a single game has appeared.
Wang Zelin, he got the most 33 rebounds in a single game since the new century, writing his glory in the history of basketball.
"Kevin, I always feel that that guy and his Blazers will be our formidable enemy in the future."
Westbrook stood next to Durant with his hands on his hips, his eyes a little complicated, with a hint of fear, but more of excitement.
After this battle, Westbrook knew that the Trail Blazers had finally ushered in their new king.
A wolf pack has a wolf king and there is no wolf king, which are two different concepts.
"Don't worry, no one can stop you and me from joining forces. No one can stop our belief in bringing a championship trophy to Oklahoma City fans."
Durant raised his head and looked at the championship banner in the Rose Garden Dome, his heart filled with desire.
"You're right Kevin, if you and I join forces, the future of this alliance is ours."
As the eldest brother looked at him, the fire in Westbrook's chest was completely ignited.
Next time we come again, victory will be ours.
This is what everyone on the Thunder team thought.
At this time, in a certain live broadcast room, someone's face had turned completely black to carbon, and he kept repeating four words, "I was careless!"

"Who is competing for the best rookie?" --- "Washington Post"
"King is the future number one center in the league!" --- "Sports Illustrated"
"Boss Ade's status is not guaranteed, and he cried out that he is the new king!" --- "ESPN"
Wang Zelin's "20+33" and Aldridge's superb buzzer-beater became the headlines of major websites overnight.
Hey, it seems that since Wang Zelin came to Portland, his Trail Blazers have always made headlines.
Big data shows that in the past two months, the online search index for the Portland Trail Blazers has increased several times compared with the previous year, and the number of outsiders traveling to Portland has also increased significantly.
