"It's hard to get 27 points and 13 assists in a win. You can't ask for too much. Chris really tried his best!"
——"Laker Nation"
"26 wins and 3 losses! The Trail Blazers successfully surpassed the 23 wins of the Bulls in the 1996 season. Every time they win a game after that, they will set a new historical record!"
——"Los Angeles Times"
"In my opinion, there is no doubt about the MVP award. This is the season that belongs to the King of China!"
—— Lakers legend Magic Johnson
After winning the game, no one in the Trail Blazers expected that the happiest people seemed to be the local fans in Los Angeles.
In a daze, they thought they were fighting with the New York Knicks and in Madison Square last night!
Generally speaking, isn't it true that only New York fans can do this kind of thing?
But no matter what, the Trail Blazers' current achievements have far exceeded their expected plans, both for the management and players, and for the fans who support them.
This season, they played so dreamily!
Originally, everyone thought that this year's Trail Blazers would be able to surprise everyone by performing a steady and progressive performance based on last season's 57 wins and 25 losses.
Judging from the current trend, the Trail Blazers are very likely to break through 60+ wins in a single season this year, and even 65+ wins is not impossible.
At least, a regular season division championship banner this season is indispensable.
Speaking of which, the Trail Blazers have only won the NBA championship or division championship once in their history.
Even in the season when Bill Walton, the first player in the history of the Trail Blazers, led the team to win the championship, they only had 49 wins and 33 losses in the regular season, and they could only be called a strong team in the Western Conference.
As for the subsequent championship, I'm afraid even Bill Walton himself has never thought about it. After all, that year was only the sixth year since the Trail Blazers established the team, and it was the first time they entered the playoffs. No one thought that this rookie, who was tasting the taste of the playoffs for the first time, would actually become a laughing star. The final winner.
The Portland Trail Blazers have been in existence for more than 43 years since they were founded in 1970. They are also considered an older NBA team. However, they were not close to the division championship until the turn of the millennium when Scottie Pioneer was led by Scott Pioneer. The 59-win Trail Blazers team led by Peng.
The only conference championship dates back to the 1990-91 season of the last century, another 63-win Trail Blazers team led by "Glider" Drexler.
Now, the Trail Blazers are not only likely to win the second Western Conference championship in team history, but are also very likely to break the best single-season performance in team history.
Light has come to the land of Portland, and a better tomorrow is waiting for them.
…
After the battle with the Clippers, Wang Zelin followed the team and returned to the Trail Blazers without stopping.
Because tomorrow, they will face their last opponent in 2013, and possibly their strongest opponent——
Defending champion Miami Heat!
You know, plans are worse than changes.
Before playing with the Spurs, coach Terry and general manager Nel Orsi regarded the last three games of 2013 as a scourge and prepared for the worst.
At worst, just take turns?
For the sake of long-term planning, no shame!
As a result, the players' performance exceeded both expectations. Not only was their combat effectiveness overwhelming, but with the support of 12 consecutive victories after playing the Clippers, their morale was also extremely high.
In this case, not to mention the fans and players, I am afraid that even they will not allow the team to have a rest.
Countless people are expecting the Trail Blazers to continue to create miracles and continue winning games in a row.
What about the defending champions?
That's it!
Then, the Heat are not easy to mess with.
Wade's condition has improved recently, and other players are also performing well. The Heat's performance is getting better and they just won a 6-game winning streak.
At this point, the Heat's record is 22 wins and 7 losses, and the second position in the Eastern Conference is still very stable, slightly behind the 24-win Pacers.
No, James almost won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week not long ago. If Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young hadn't suddenly emerged and led the 75ers to a three-game winning streak, I'm afraid this award would have gone to James.
However, compared to the talk of Heat fans, it is estimated that the Philadelphia management is distressed now.
Seeing that Mcaway no longer had the magic he had at the start of the game, the Philadelphia management was ready to let him practice in the first grade - this is a term for high emotional intelligence.
To put it bluntly, they are ready to mess up.
As a result, another Thaddeus Young appeared... Aren't you going to make a fuss?
Let's continue to mess up. It's only the second month of the season, and that doesn't mean Philadelphia has no hope of returning to the playoffs. If it doesn't, won't the previous few games where players were forced to xjbd be in vain?
So a Philadelphia manager suggested: "No, Thaddeus Young must be traded next season to compare with Mcaway. His potential is not much anymore, and we cannot let him continue to interfere with Mcaway's progress."
Unexpectedly, this proposal was unanimously approved by other senior officials as soon as it came out.
After thinking about it, for a player who has been playing for 6 or 7 years and barely scored 15+ points this year, compared with another player who can score 15+ in his rookie season, everyone knows that he will choose the latter.
Only the magical Kings management confidently ignored the super genius Tyreke Evans who had 20+5+5 in his rookie season.
James failed to win the Best of the Week in the Eastern Conference, and Wang Zelin did not win the Best of the Week in the Western Conference.
Because Du Xiaoshuai has roots!
In the Thunder's recent three games, Du Xiaoshuai averaged 32 points, 10.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1 steal and 0.3 blocks per game. Compared with Wang Zelin, who averaged 27.3 points, 15.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 4.3 blocks per game, in the eyes of the reviewers, he was roughly A neck-and-neck situation.
Considering that Wang Zelin has won the Best of the Week many times, the choice was given to Durant again.
Of course, these are naturally inseparable from the instructions from the top.
After all, they would rather see a group of heroes vying for supremacy than a situation where the league has one super power and many strong players.
Moreover, Durant has been playing really well recently. If he was given the Player of the Week award, the media and fans couldn't find anything wrong with him.
…
Losing to the Heat, the Trail Blazers' 12-game winning streak was ended.
Wang Zelin was a little depressed. He never expected that Wade, who had only recovered slightly before, would be in hot form tonight.
14 of 24 shots, the most outrageous thing was 3 of 4 three-pointers...
Although they are all open, judging from the Flash's three-point accuracy over the years, his three-point shooting percentage has been around 30% all year round. In the second decade of the new century, his three-point shooting percentage has not exceeded 30%.
That’s outrageous!
Tonight, Coach Terry's plan is to target James indefinitely, while Wade will focus on shooting rather than sudden shots. As for Bosh, with Wang Zelin here, Bosh can't go anywhere.
As a result, Wade stunned the Blazers with three three-pointers, which caused a series of chain reactions and directly led to the final defeat of the game.
The Blazers lost to the Heat by 12 points at 102:117, which was considered a heavy defeat in the season.
At this point, all the Trail Blazers' games in 2013 have officially ended. Since the new season, their record has finally been settled at 26 wins and 4 losses.
Although the final game at the end of the year did not go well, their 26-win record was still enough to make them proud of the league.
Overall, Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers gained a lot in 2013. And now, it’s finally time to say goodbye to 2013.
