At halftime, the Warriors led the Trail Blazers by 13 points at 56:43.
"Wang just got 17 rebounds now. Brothers, it seems you are still not good enough!"
While Mike Roberts was teasing, he could not hide the envy in his words.
If he hadn't been unable to make three-pointers, he would have been the right partner at No. 4, not Luke Babbitt, but Wang Zelin.
11 points and 17 rebounds~Wang Zelin’s statistics in this game.
Thanks to the strong support of his teammates, all players made 17 of 51 shots in the first half. Not only did the number of shots far exceed that in previous games, but the shooting percentage was just over 30%. Terrible, 4 out of 17.
The Warriors made 21 of 47 shots in the half, with an overall shooting rate of 44%, including 6 of 13 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of nearly 50%.
"King, do you need to rest?"
Tristotz looked at Wang Zelin and asked softly.
The Trail Blazers are determined to lose tonight. The playing time of Wang Zelin and Lillard is decided by the two of them. Asking this question is just superficial work.
"No, I will feel at ease if I win the rebounding title as soon as possible!" Wang Zelin replied with strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
The game is back, and we will fight again after changing sides.
"Give up, rookie, you are not destined to be the rebounding champion!"
Bogt kept muttering in his mouth while he was stuck in his seat.
"Tsk tsk tsk, oh, what's going on with our Mr. Manor? We only got a rebound at halftime. Do you want me to give you one?" Wang Zelin immediately replied.
"What's wrong with one? Ah! Isn't a backboard a backboard?" Borgt screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Don't worry! Let's take our time. I promise, in the next matchup, you won't get any rebounds, not any!"
After putting on such a lineup, the Trail Blazers' perimeter defense was simply terrible, and the Warriors easily scored one.
"You brats, you're finished!"
Bogt continued to shout loudly.
"Wait until you score a goal in front of me." Wang Zelin smiled softly and started to serve the baseline ball.
"Damien, don't hesitate, just vote!"
"Um."
Lillard nodded and moved forward.
Tonight, the opponent did not win. The Trail Blazers No. 0 was defeated by themselves in the first half. Although their defense was average, it was not that bad.
Curry knows this very well.
Therefore, facing Lillard's feint, the pretense was shaken away and he took a big step back.
"..."
Oh my god, look at the acting, it's terrible!
Lillard thought to himself, and then took action directly, which was a bit short.
"Rebound!"
Bogt shouted in a circle, trying to recruit David Lee to flank Wang Zelin with him, but David Lee was entangled in Luke Babbitt.
There was no other way, Bogt had no choice but to jump to the highest point alone, but at this moment, another person jumped up.
This person is none other than Wang Zelin!
Bogt's body and Wang Zelin's body collided in the air. The former's body tilted slightly, giving Wang Zelin a good opportunity.
Wang Zelin stretched out his arm and grabbed the basketball hard in his hand.
"it is mine!"
Wang Zelin shouted, the sound was like thunder, and the sound was so sharp that it made Bogt's ears ring.
As soon as he landed, Wang Zelin took the rebound into his arms. Faced with Bogt's interference, he did not choose to shoot, but threw the ball to the outside.
Alexander Pavlovich.
Due to the special nature of the game, this ten thousand year substitute small forward played more than 15 minutes in one quarter for the first time tonight.
Alexander Pavlovich, who was in a wide open space, wanted to throw the ball in, but he thought about his teammates' words and hit the ball in the open space with tears in his eyes.
duang~
The most annoying sound in the past sounded so sweet now. Wang Zelin roared, jumped up again, took the rebound into his arms, and quickly passed it back to Lillard.
His shooting ability is much better than Alexander's. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball in his hand has been thrown.
"Uh-huh!"
58:46.
"Em..." Lillard smiled awkwardly at Wang Lin: "That was just muscle memory, I didn't want to either."
"fine!"
Wang Zelin smiled slightly and said nothing more.
19 rebounds. No matter how hard Lillard shoots, no matter how hard the Warriors Splash Brothers score, they can't stop him from competing for the rebounding title.
…
In an attack just two minutes into the fourth quarter, Will Barton cut in and received a block from Bogter. Wang Zelin immediately grabbed the offensive rebound and then jumped directly to the basket.
"Ho ho ho ho!!!!"
"Wang did it! The 24th rebound! He finally got the 24th rebound!"
On the commentary table, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley hugged each other excitedly because Wang Zelin's statistics were displayed on the big screen...
17 points, 24 rebounds, 1 block and 2 assists!
The whole place was filled with joy, and a large number of fans stood up spontaneously and chanted Wang Zelin's name.
"..."
Beep beep~
The Warriors failed to score on the next attack. After Wang Zelin saved the backcourt rebound, coach Terry Stotts called a timeout.
25 rebounds!
In front of tens of thousands of spectators, Wang Zelin held the basketball in both hands, kissed it gently, and returned to the bench amid the cheers of the fans.
If nothing else, 17 points, 25 rebounds, 1 block and 2 assists will be Wang Zelin's final score.
Sure enough, Wang Zelin didn't play again in the next 10 minutes. The Trail Blazers lost the regular season finale at home 91:109. With a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, they advanced to the playoffs after a year's absence.
Post bars in major domestic forums are about to explode.
"The game is over, did you win the rebounding title?"
Some fans left messages on the forum asking.
"I'm in a hurry, I'm already doing the math, it needs to be accurate to two decimal places!" Soon a master stood up and replied.
About two minutes later, the master released the final version of the data comparison:
Dwight Howard played 76 times in the season, averaged 35.8 minutes per game, 251 total offensive rebounds, 647 total defensive rebounds, 948 total season rebounds, and averaged 12.47 rebounds per game...
Wang Zelin played 76 games in the season, averaged 32 minutes per game, 320 offensive rebounds, 630 defensive rebounds, 950 total rebounds in the season, and averaged 12.5 rebounds per game!
The final result was finally revealed: Wang Zelin successfully aspired to the regular season rebounding title with a very slim advantage of 0.03 rebounds.
For a time, the domestic basketball forum was completely abuzz, and all major official media and large and small self-media rushed in frantically to convey the good news first.
"(Fire Fist) Ace posted a congratulatory message: Congratulations to Wang Zelin for taking off the NBA rebound!"
"Madouba's congratulatory message: The first yellow rebounder champion is born! He is Wang~Ze~Lin!"
"The king is mighty!!!"
"The king is mighty!!!"
"The king is mighty!!!"
…
Not only basketball forums, but also other forums also sent a large number of congratulatory posts, overwhelming the Internet.
In the United States, fans of the Portland Trail Blazers were also overjoyed and frantically reposted messages in fan forums to express their inner joy and excitement.
On the night of the 18th, when the game between the Celtics and the Knicks ended, it also meant the end of the 2012~2013 NBA regular season. The NBA official website immediately updated the data notifications for the major rankings.
Among them, the name at the top of the two lists of total blocks and average blocks per game in the regular season has been changed from Dwight Howard to Wang Zelin.
"The birth of the first Asian men's volleyball king! We should adhere to the path of NBA internationalization and never waver!" - NBA official
"An unprecedented shot-blocking king is born!" - New York Times
"The King of Heaven defeated Warcraft and won the rebounding title. He is the best big man!" - Bleachers
"Remember his name, his name is Wang Ze Lin!"——tnt
"A victory for international players!"——espn
There are some who are good, and there are also those who are bad. For example, Dwight Howard said gloomily in an interview on the 19th: "The Chinese boy just barely defeated me with the help of the whole team. He is so despicable! The rebounding champion It should be mine, mine!”
Not long after, Shaquille O'Neal, Lakers legend and top 50 superstar, posted a tweet: "The real strong never make any excuses! Just like when someone scored 70 points, I didn't deliberately say anything. .”
…
At the celebration banquet after the game, wealthy owner Paul Allen was very playful and handed out a large bonus on the spot.
In the NBA, this is the norm.
When the team enters the playoffs, the team management will send part of the bonus to the coaching staff, players, training room and others as encouragement; and for each additional round, there will be additional bonuses.
After the bonuses were distributed, Paul Allen said bluntly: "He will pay for tonight's consumption!"
Everyone had a great time, especially Terry Stotts, who was raped by the players. When he woke up the next day, he didn't even think about how he got home.
Wang Zelin is also very good, the rebounding king! The first heavyweight award in his career can be regarded as achieved.
Then I looked at the red envelope in my pocket. It was 50,000 yuan, or rice knives... Such a boss, please give me another dozen!
After the celebration banquet was over, Wang Zelin and his party arrived at the parking lot. It was only 11 o'clock and the real nightlife had just begun. Wang Zelin couldn't help shouting: "Brothers, you choose where to go tonight!"
Wang Zelin didn't drink, but the others did more or less. Batum followed and yelled: "Old place, let's go!"
Immediately, there was a strange roar in the parking lot, startling the driver who had just arrived at the parking lot.
How much did you drink!
Forget it, someone has already paid for it anyway.
…
The next day.
The pots and pans at home have been ringing all morning, and a rich lunch is ready.
"That's great! Zelin, let's see who among you can take the photo. Who took the photo and made my son look so handsome! Lao Wang, come and take a look. Our son has been in the newspaper again..." The Queen Mother picked up the newspaper and said, He said cheerfully.
"I've stopped watching it, and so have you. I don't know how many times I've watched it, but I'm still not tired of it!"
The royal father immediately waved his hand and said.
"How come you are your father? Zelin has done such a big thing and you don't even care. It's true!" the Queen Mother put away the newspaper and complained every day.
"Okay, Mom, the playoffs are coming soon, and your son will definitely be in the newspapers every day. You, please read it slowly while it lasts, and eat first!"
The long 82-game regular season is finally over. Looking at the full table in front of him, Wang Zelin decided to let himself go and have a good meal today.
"Okay, okay, my son is the best! I'll keep all the newspapers you published for you, so I can show him when I hold my grandson."
"..."
Alas, why did you mention your grandson again?
…
After spending a day playing with his parents on the 19th, Wang Zelin reported back to the team on the 20th.
Rose Garden Arena.
"The playoff lineup is out. Everyone should have seen it, right?"
Coach Christos stood in the center of the training ground, looking at all the players in front of him with great pride.
Signing with the Portland Trail Blazers is definitely the most correct thing he has done in his coaching career. In just the first year, the team has won 57 games, ranking fourth in the Western Conference and fifth in the league. If it had been another year, Years, that’s okay.
Suddenly, Terry Stotts began to regret why he only signed a two-year contract with team owner Paul Allen.
Unfortunately, the hardest thing for people to buy is knowing in advance.
"Got it coach!"
The players responded one after another.
"That's good!"
Hearing the voice in front of him, Terry Stotts came back to his senses and regained his composure.
"Regardless of the fact that we played 3:1 with the Denver Nuggets in the regular season, the West is different from the East. They are also in sixth place. There is a 10-game gap between the Nuggets and the Hawks in the East. Even if they compare with us, they It’s just at least two wins.
Therefore, even if we beat them three games in the regular season, we must not take it lightly and must prepare for the game with all our strength. Do you understand? "
During the pre-match training, Tristetz looked quite serious, causing Batum and Matthews to quickly put away their playful smiles.
For the Trail Blazers, being able to enter the playoffs with the top four in the top half means they are the first to have home court advantage.
The Trail Blazers' players make up the majority of young people, and it's a good thing to be full of passion at all times, but their state is also prone to dramatic ups and downs, so Terry Stotts is determined to win the home game.
