Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang, bang bang, bang bang.
After the start of the third quarter, the enjoyment of the game on the field did not improve, so much so that the fans on the sidelines and the viewers in front of the TV felt drowsy.
After three quarters, the battle between the two sides was 52:42. The Trail Blazers still led the Grizzlies by 10 points. At this time, looking around, less than half of the fans had left the stands.
There is no way, this attack is really eye-catching!
At this moment, Wang Zelin vaguely felt the pain of David Stern. If he were the president of the league, he would also not want to see such a game born.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers have Wang Zelin and Aldridge who have been providing stable output. The two scored 12 points in a single quarter, otherwise the game would be more troublesome.
At this time, it reflects the importance of having someone on the team who is good at mid-range shooting. The Trail Blazers scored a total of 15 points in the third quarter. Except for 3 points from free throws, the remaining 12 points all relied on the mid-range performance of Wang Zelin and Aldridge.
The Grizzlies' overall offense is indeed mediocre. In many cases, if they want to win, they mainly rely on grinding out their opponents. But today, they failed to guard against their opponent's mid-range shot, and the only one who was killed was the Grizzlies themselves!
In the last quarter, the Grizzlies started with all their main players and obviously had no intention of giving up the game. Coach Terry followed his opponent's wishes and put together a lineup of five starting players.
At this moment, I wonder if Grizzlies fans will miss Rudy Gay and the man who often left the team system and always played alone.
Now, they really need someone to step up and lead the Grizzlies in chasing points. Unfortunately, Randolph played 31 minutes in the third quarter. The playing time in the three quarters of today's game has almost caught up with the average playing time in previous games.
Gradually, Randolph began to suffer from physical exhaustion. The only scoring point the Grizzlies could count on could not play much of a role due to physical problems.
In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Grizzlies by 8 points at 77:69. Tonight's battle, with defense as the main theme, finally came to an end.
Whether it was the players and coaching staff, or the fans and commentators in the stands, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief the moment they heard the electronic buzzer sound.
It’s so painful!
The last time people saw such an "ugly" game was several years ago.
At least 4 to 5 years is available!
That night, Wang Zelin played 39 minutes and only played half of the fourth quarter. He made 2 of 5 shots. He was also treated to a hot pot meal by Marc Gasol. He made 2 of 3 free throws and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block in the final quarter.
At the end of the game, he made 13 of 22 shots and 7 of 11 free throws. He scored a game-high 33 points, plus 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls.
Just a little bit, 6x5 weird data was completed.
In this game, the Trail Blazers' outside performance was average, and the ball was basically concentrated inside, in the hands of Wang Zelin and Aldridge.
Aldridge made 10 of 19 shots tonight and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored the second-highest double-double on the team with 26 points and 11 rebounds.
Then, the Trail Blazers never had a player score 20+ points.
The Grizzlies side.
Zach Randolph, who was covered in fat, played for 38 minutes. He made 11 of 25 shots and 6 of 10 free throws. He scored 28 points, the second highest score in the game, plus 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
Conley played 36 minutes, making 8 of 14 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. Is it the second-highest score on the Grizzlies team with 19 points, plus 7 assists and 3 rebounds, and also had 1 Steals were recorded.
After this game, there are only 5 games left before the carnival feast of the 2013~2014 NBA All-Star Weekend.
What's even more terrible is that the Trail Blazers' next three games are all in the Eastern Conference, which means that the next three games are away games.
Sure enough, the comfortable schedule at the beginning of the season was not without cost, and today's devilish schedule is the consequence.
Fortunately, for the next three away opponents, except for the Raptors, the remaining Wizards and Knicks will have no problem winning if they play steadily.
At the same time, after winning against the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers currently have a record of 40 wins and 7 losses. While avoiding a losing streak, they are currently ranked first in the Western Conference and first in the league!
The Portland Trail Blazers became the first team to win more than 40 games this season. Not surprisingly, after the game, the media started talking about this point again:
Odds of winning!
In the latest official espn ranking of NBA championship probability rankings for major teams, the Portland Trail Blazers ranked first for the first time.
As we all know, as one of the authoritative media in the United States, espn is famous for not liking the Trail Blazers. Now even espn has to hand over the Trail Blazers to the top of the list. It is obvious that the Trail Blazers have swept the league. How strong the storm was!
On January 5, the league announced its Player of the Week.
Best of the Week in the Eastern Conference ~ New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony!
In the last three games, Anthony led the Knicks to three wins. He averaged 39 minutes per game, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.3 blocks, plus 2.3 turnovers and 3.3 fouls.
In addition, he averaged 11 of 23 shots per game, with an overall field goal percentage of 47.8%, 2 of 3.3 free throws, a 60% field goal percentage, and 3 of 6 three-pointers, with a 50% field goal percentage!
Western Conference Player of the Week, Portland Trail Blazers star Wang Zelin!
Although he lost the battle with the Warriors and Wang Zelin was eliminated early, in the two games against the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies, Wang Zelin was elected the best player in both games, and his statistics were very explosive. In both games, he was a big player. Number two pairs!
The most important thing is that the Trail Blazers' team record ranks first in the league, which makes him once again well-deserved to be selected as the first Western Conference Player of the Week in February 2014.
Some people agree with this result, while others are criticizing it.
"That's not fair! DeMarcus is obviously the better one!"
Basketball commentators who have always disliked Wang Zelin published a column.
One thing to say, Cousins has performed really well in recent games, and can even be said to be great.
Not only did he lead the team to victory in three games, but in terms of personal statistics, he averaged 25 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game, and his overall shooting percentage was over 50%!
However, who made his team a weakling?
No, some people soon stood up to support Wang Zelin and expressed their opinions:
"I believe in the judgment of the league and major media, who is the most eye-catching one? There is no doubt that it is Wang Zelin!"
There is endless fighting outside, and Wang Zelin is here.
On the 5th, after a short break of half a day, Wang Zelin arrived in Toronto with the team in the evening.
I also received an unexpected phone call!
