After a few more rounds, at 72:51, the score difference between the two sides still remained at more than 20 points.
On the court, looking at the score that could not be shortened no matter how hard I tried...
At this moment, Harden gradually felt a sense of despair in his heart.
On the Mosaic bench, Kevin McHale was also a little desperate.
Because he knows very well that if no one on the team breaks out at this time, the situation on the field will continue until the end of the third quarter...
There is basically no hope for Mosaic to make a comeback.
And all of this...
What puzzled him the most was Wang Zelin's terrifying dominance.
As a former NBA player, Mike Hale played for the Boston Celtics starting in the 1980s, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Olajuwon, David Robinson and Ewing, including the rookie O'Neal who was at the peak of his debut. As a player, he experienced the style of too many great centers.
Once upon a time, he stubbornly believed that the new generation of players were too "soft" and that there was no way to maintain the hard-core approach that was so popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
Including Howard in the past few years, and Wang Zelin who is now in full swing, McHale, who has the filter of the old era, always believes from the bottom of his heart that Howard and Wang Zelin would definitely not be able to reach the heights in the league as they are today in the 1980s and 1990s. .
But……
On a certain level, Wang Zelin's dominance in the game made McHale never want to face him again.
Speaking of which, although McHale was hired as the head coach of the Houston Mosaic team from the 11th to 2012 seasons, the fact that the Mosaic team really got on the right track was due to the acquisition of Harden from the Thunder.
However, tragedy struck.
In fact, it's not just Harden, but also McHale. The two of them haven't defeated the Trail Blazers on the court since the 12-13 season. This unforgettable experience has become a demon that has troubled the two of them for a long time, and it is getting worse.
No one is young forever, but some people are always young!
Perhaps, I should really break the filters of the old era and re-examine many of today's stars.
Just like now, when many people mention Chamberlain and Russell, mention the Magic Birds War, mention Michael Jordan and the four major centers, they will be in awe...
In every era, there will be superstars who lead the trend of a generation.
And Wang Zelin corresponds to the wave of the current era that is changing the situation.
As long as the NBA still exists, no, to be precise, as long as the basketball school movement still exists, in more than ten years, when future fans and some retired stars mention legendary names such as Kobe, James, and Wang Zelin, they will also think I can't help but be in awe.
McHale couldn't help but look at the technical statistics. So far, Wang Zelin has scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
Therefore, even if he is unwilling to admit it, in McHale's view, Wang Zelin is already a top three player in the NBA this season.
If combined with the same dominant performance on the defensive end, he even feels that King Zero is the No. 1 player in the league!
Going back to that familiar and influential saying: Basketball is always a sport for ordinary people.
In this sport, the center's presence on the court is always the strongest among the five positions.
The reason why there will be a prosperous era of small ball in later generations is that, on the one hand, the rules have long since changed, and there is less and less space for centers to survive; on the other hand, it is because of the hot days of men.
who?
To borrow the words of a basketball commentator who started out as a floor seller in the future:
That would have to be two-time regular season MVP winner, the cornerstone of the Golden State Warriors' dynasty, and an epoch-making superstar - Stephen Curry!
And, Curry brought a huge three-point revolution to the basketball world!
But all this has a premise.
That is, there is no longer a beast of an inside line at the level of the four major centers in the league!
And now...
"He's only 21..."
Not only McHale, but also the fans on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV, looked at Wang Zelin's ubiquitous figure on both ends of the offense and defense, and all expressed the same emotion.
At the Toyota Center Arena, with 3 minutes and 58 seconds left in the third quarter, as Wang Zelin came on the stage again, another wave of massacre by the Blazers came as expected.
On December 22, 2014…
After Wang Zelin made a strong comeback with his "long-hidden" ultimate move, Sky Hook, the Trail Blazers once again showed the world their despairing power!
…
In the end, 115:85, the Trail Blazers successfully won this away game, defeating the Houston Mosaic with a huge margin of 30 points, starting a two-game winning streak after three consecutive losses!
In the fourth quarter, Wang Zelin's physical fitness was a little weak due to the lack of adequate training during his absence. However, all the opposing insiders were beaten by his performance in the first three quarters. Not only the offensive efficiency dropped, but the defensive efficiency also declined. Under the example of Harden, the core of the team, he no longer cares.
The efficiency of both sides in this quarter was not very high. The Trail Blazers did not have the terrifying score of 93 points in three quarters, and only scored 22 points in the final quarter. But they couldn't stand it. Mosaic's team scored only 17 points.
Wang Zelin made 4 of 7 shots in the fourth quarter. His efficiency was average, but he still contributed 11 points and 2 rebounds. His final data was fixed at 55 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, and 1 steal!
At the end of the game, Wang Zelin's final data appeared on the large LED screen at the scene, and the words "No. 1 in history" were also noted!
Wang Zelin became the only player in NBA history to score 55+20+5+5 at the same time!
Even with the addition of those ancient statistics that are difficult to verify, Wang Zelin's performance tonight was enough to surpass all the ancient gods and become the first person in the NBA to have accurate statistics.
Perhaps Wilt Chamberlain, the data maniac in NBA history, once produced more incredible statistics than Wang Zelin, but in the area of 5+ blocks, he completely lost.
the reason is simple.
The NBA only introduced the statistics of blocks in the 1973-1974 season, but just last season, the coach just retired.
Therefore, in front of this data, the commander can only pass.
"mvp! mvp! Female vote!"
There were already fans chanting at the scene, and the MVP cheers continued.
Wang Zelin was also surrounded by his teammates immediately after he came off the field, and they frantically raised and lowered their hands.
After a long time, he broke free from the clutches of countless clutches. When he looked at the words on the big screen above his head, he was stunned for a while before smiling and waving to the away fans wearing Trail Blazers uniforms on the sidelines.
To be honest, after learning from his coach and teammates that he was very likely to break his career scoring record, he initially just wanted to hit a new record. It wasn't until after he got off the court that he realized what he had done tonight?
but……
The first person in history!
This feeling is surprisingly good.
