"Coach, how is LaMarcus?"
Seeing the return of the main lineup, Coach Terry explained the injury to everyone: "According to the preliminary diagnosis, LaMarcus suffered a first-degree ankle sprain in his right foot. It will take at least two weeks to recover. The team doctors are now using ice cubes to treat him. It’s treating the wounds.”
It only takes two weeks, so it’s a false alarm.
Teammates were relieved to hear that Aldridge would be back on the court in just two weeks.
Seeing that the players were calming down, Coach Terry picked up the tactical board, planned tactics, and started directing!
"Damien, go and do more singles! Go and defeat the Lakers' back line!"
"Mike, use your muscles to push against Jamison and give him a confrontation. You allow him to easily get space to shoot!!"
"Wang, Dwight can't stop you. He has already committed four fouls. Find an opportunity to take him off!!!"
There was a full quarter left in the game, and the Blazers still had a chance to take the lead.
Things were going well on the sidelines, but on the court, as Kobe hit a three-pointer over a man's shot, the point difference was widened to 14 points.
Mamba shows his fangs!
"Old man, I didn't expect you still had gas in the tank. I thought the Lakers boss had turned into Jamison!"
Wang Zelin couldn't help but provoke.
Everyone knows that provoking a Black Mamba is very dangerous, and he may very well poison you to death...
But at the same time, he is also likely to kill the team alone.
So Wang Zelin is betting!
"The Lakers are not my team alone. Victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts!"
Kobe replied calmly.
Already in his thirties, Kobe has long been fed up with the beatings from society, and he doesn't care at all about provocations from the outside world.
His biggest wish at this time is to win the sixth championship in his career... He knows that he will never be able to surpass Hot Man, but he still hopes to equal the number of championships.
This is a little-known and extremely simple wish of an old blacksmith in Los Angeles.
"..."
Wang Zelin rolled his eyes, as if he had heard this before.
Depend on! Isn’t this what I said two days ago?
This high school student who never went to college is just playing around with copy and paste...
The Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard dribbled over, and the whole court was on the three-point line.
Nash put a lot of pressure on him.
Of course, this is what Nash thinks.
Lillard called a pick-and-roll, rushed into the paint and got a foul!
The scene of this foul was booed!
Dwight, please be more careful!
D'Antoni replaced the harmless Howard with a look of helplessness on his face. He committed his fifth foul, and he couldn't do it without fouling.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lillard made two free throws.
Looking back, Nash wanted to attack, but Lillard was also unable to defend him.
Lillard retreated while fighting. Although Nash had the advantage, he was old after all and was a little exhausted in the fourth quarter. It was unlikely to get rid of Lillard and score.
"Whoosh!"
Passed the ball!
Nash gave it to Kobe in the corner.
Seeing no one guarding him, Kobe opened his hand and fired a three-pointer.
Damn it!
I also forgot that this season when combined with Nash, Kobe achieved the highest offensive efficiency in his career.
No one expected that Kobe had such excellent ability to move without the ball.
At 89:74, the Trail Blazers were 15 points behind.
No more, no hope!
Wang Zelin played 33 minutes and scored 29 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists on 13 of 20 shots. The statistics were quite gorgeous. The Lakers couldn't stop him. Howard even left the game with 6 fouls halfway through the fourth quarter.
However, the Trail Blazers still lost to the Lakers...107:99.
In the last few minutes, Coach Terry took over the main lineup and put up the no-match card. The second lineups of both sides were pecking at each other, and the point difference was recovered to within ten points.
The Trail Blazers suffered a two-game losing streak!
After the game, the news about "Whether the Trail Blazers suffered three consecutive defeats for the first time!" spread around, and many experts and fans came to their senses. The Trail Blazers had never lost three consecutive games this season.
The last two consecutive losses were to the Thunder and Nuggets in January, and during that period, Wang Zelin was suspended for 4 games.
After coming back, the opponent in the first game was the ultimate boss, the Miami Heat. Everyone thought that the Trail Blazers would suffer three consecutive defeats. However, Wang Zelin contributed a buzzer-beating buzzer-beater to stop the team. Live losing streak.
To break it down, there are no teams that have suffered three consecutive losses this season, but there are only a few.
Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers...and then gone.
After thinking about it, they realized how much the dark horse of the Portland Trail Blazers has changed this season...
There are only three teams in the league that have not lost three consecutive games in the regular season this season. Even last year's overall runner-up Oklahoma City Thunder have suffered three consecutive losses recently.
what does that mean?
it goes without saying.
Strong and long-term competitiveness... Compared to the championship favorites, the Heat and Spurs, the Trail Blazers' team structure appears to be very young, but such a young team has accomplished things that even the most powerful teams cannot do. Son.
Under the exaggeration of media public opinion, the "three-game losing streak" has become the watershed between the championship-level teams and the ordinary playoff-level teams.
The Trail Blazers have inexplicably gained wider recognition, first reflected in the sudden rise in the team's strength rankings in major media.
In the latest team strength rankings, tnt promoted the Trail Blazers from fifth to third, and dropped the Thunder from third to fourth.
In the latest issue of ESPN's team strength, the Trail Blazers reached the top five for the first time.
This surprised Trail Blazers fans and Chinese fans.
As the most official and authoritative sports media in the United States, ESPN has always been famous for not liking the Blazers' youth team. Even during the nine-game winning streak, they were only reluctantly ranked sixth, and in most cases they were ranked eighth. ~Ten.
As for an outdoor bleacher that implements the principle of "nothing is better than a blockbuster", after the latest update of the team's strength list, fans were shocked to find that the Trail Blazers ranked second, directly behind the Spurs.
The reasons Bleachers gave were simple and powerful.
"The Trail Blazers are still a young team, but compared to the three old teams of the Spurs, we believe that the three young players of the Trail Blazers deserve to have a broader future because they are young enough!"
The future is destined to belong to young people!
That's the theme of Bleachers' latest update.
In this regard, some media went to San Antonio to interview Spurs coach Smarovich, but the latter avoided talking about it.
Loudness, excitement... these have never been characteristics of San Antonio.
They prefer to make a fortune silently!
…
The next morning, he got up and practiced for more than half an hour. At eight o'clock, Wang Zelin finished breakfast and came to the team for training.
Tomorrow, February 25th, the next opponent is the Boston Celtics, with the Trail Blazers playing at home.
The Trail Blazers and Celtics only played each other once this season, but it was enough to make it unforgettable for anyone.
26 points, 30 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block... Wang Zelin's first super statistic in his career was obtained with the Celtics.
Compared to data, Wang Zelin cares more about people.
Kevin Garnett!
In his first encounter with the Celtics, Garnett chose to fight fiercely at the last moment of the game. This move made Wang Zelin unforgettable.
To a certain extent, Wang Zelin was able to finally complete the feat of 30 rebounds on the spot, thanks to Garnett's insistence on playing in the last few minutes.
After the game, Garnett, an NBA veteran, spoke a lot to Wang Zelin, which touched him a lot.
Therefore, when thinking about tomorrow's game, Wang Zelin can't help but gear up. He is ready to fight Garnett in the paint.
"And..." Wang Zelin suddenly smiled.
If I remember correctly, Garnett will be used as a bargaining chip by Green Army general manager Ainge during the offseason in June, and will be traded to the Brooklyn Nets along with Paul Pierce and Jason Terry.
The Nets sent three future first-round picks as well as Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Jake Reese Joseph, Marshawn Brooks, plus Gisbogans through a sign-and-trade, a total of 5 active players. .
Since then, the era of the Celtics' Big Three has officially come to an end, and the team will also move towards reconstruction.
Many people in the league criticized Green Army general manager Danny Ainge for being cold-blooded at the time, but many years later, when the Green Army returned to the Eastern Conference Finals again under the leadership of Thomas, Tatum, Jaylen Brown and others, people had to I sigh with emotion at Anji's decisive decision back then.
Perhaps this is the complexity of human nature.
Of course, Wang Zelin didn't think so far ahead. The only thing he wants now is to make a fortune from the trade between the Nets and Celtics during this offseason.
It would be best to sign Kevin Garnett!
After all, the Blazers are too young, from upper body coaches to players.
In the playoffs, without the guidance of veterans, Wang Zelin felt that the Blazers would not be able to go very far.
Therefore, after establishing that the Trail Blazers would be his long-term team, Wang Zelin set a three-year plan for himself.
Entering the playoffs in the first year!
Reached the Western Conference Finals in the second year!
…
Strive to win an O'Brien Trophy during his rookie contract.
Compared with Lu's Long Ao Tianwen, Wang Zhelin still feels that the plan he made is more stable and realistic.
After all, who told him to only draw O'Neal in his twilight years at the beginning, but not O'Neal in his prime.
If O'Neal is really at his peak, Wang Zelin will certainly have the confidence to win FMVP in his first year and tie Magic, keep up his efforts in his second year, create a dynasty in his third year and become the first player in the league, and his fourth year...
Ahem, the most useless behavior is to say what if!
It’s better for us to return to reality.
Then, Garnett naturally became a major recruiting target in Wang Zelin's plan.
He clearly remembers that in Garnett's two seasons with the Nets, he only played 54 games in the 13-14 regular season, averaging 6.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. He has long lost his courage.
But in the playoffs, Garnett's data increased instead of decreasing, averaging close to 7 points and 6 rebounds per game, and his field goal percentage increased by 8 percentage points to 52.4% compared to the 44.1% in the regular season.
There is still a lot of oil in the gas tank!
So that's what he thought.
Rather than letting Garnett, the wolf king, return to the Timberwolves and waste time, it would be better to be like Ray Allen and get another championship ring in the later years of his career.
After Garnett came to the Trail Blazers, he only had to take care of his retirement during the regular season. The playoffs are the time for this kind of veteran to exert his strength.
Just like a certain coffin Mamba, he couldn't help but lift the coffin board once he got to the finals.
As for being robbed of fmvp in the finals...
Stop making trouble, Wang Zelin never pays attention to this kind of thing, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen to him.
