It's a waste of time overnight.
On the afternoon of the next day, Wang Zelin returned to the hotel in vain, called Lillard and Aldridge, and boarded the plane back to Portland.
This year's All-Star, Wang Zelin beat the crowd and became the biggest winner again.
The highest scoring record in a single game in All-Star history, and surpassing the two-time AMVP legend Bob Pettit, becoming the first player in history to win the MVP three consecutive times!
He is using his extraordinary strength to leave a mark in NBA history.
After the All-Star Game, counting the 17th, the Trail Blazers still have 4 days off.
Taking advantage of this time, the team members can relax and Wang Zelin seizes the time to make up for the shortcomings.
There was no way, last night's absurdity was too hard to bear, and he guaranteed that no cadre could withstand this temptation.
At the same time, the general managers of each team have indeed reached their busiest stage at this time.
According to NBA trading rules, the annual trade deadline is set on the 16th Thursday after the start of the regular season. This year's deadline is February 19th.
As early as the All-Star period, rumors had already been flying around the league.
The first is the Lakers, who are located in Angel City. They are in urgent need of adding a blue-collar center. Their target candidate is none other than Adams, who has just been traded to the Mavericks by the Trail Blazers.
The Kings put Rudy Gay on the shelf. On the one hand, they want to completely support the talented young forward Wiggins. On the other hand, they hope to get young players and draft picks and focus on the future.
There was also news in the Mosaic team that Harden and Howard were not in agreement, which attracted the attention of many team management, and they all tried their best to get involved. Don't expect to achieve anything, just seek to muddy the waters of the entire market so that you can make profits.
…
…
With only a few days left before the trade deadline, although external rumors continue to increase, there is very little information about the big fish, and even fewer substantive deals have been reached.
This is also the norm before deadlines every year.
What's more, the trade deadline or something like that doesn't have much to do with the Trail Blazers.
While stabilizing the original main lineup, the Trail Blazers have already completed reinforcements of inside and outside substitute players. Now the management has a very calm mentality and is patiently preparing for the game on the 20th.
After all, the arrival of the trade deadline also means that the arms race of the season is over, and all teams have reached the stage of starting to exert their strength.
Especially teams that have prospects for the playoffs must pay close attention, and the Thunder is one of them.
Before the All-Star Game, the Thunder's record was locked at 27 wins and 25 losses, already tied with the Pelicans, who have a record of 27 wins and 25 losses, which is ninth in the Western Conference, although they are still far away from the Mavericks, who are eighth in the Western Conference, with a record of 35 wins and 19 losses. It's quite a distance, but as long as the Thunder's "king combination" can stay healthy, no one dares to underestimate them.
If Durant hadn't been injured for a period of time at the beginning of the season, and then Ibaka was also injured, the Thunder would definitely be a strong contender for the top four in the Western Conference, or even the first place in the Western Conference.
As for the Pelicans at the front, the outside world was originally touting the Pelicans as a dark horse in the playoffs this year. But unfortunately, with the wave of injuries to star Anthony Davis during the All-Star period, countless Pelicans fans were heartbroken.
In comparison, the Thunder's big and small kings, plus Ibaka on the inside, are still very scary.
Theoretically speaking, if you want to break through the regular season and enter the playoffs this year, you need at least 45 wins. The Thunder now have 30 games left. As long as their core framework remains unchanged, it is not impossible to win 18 of them, or even more.
Now, the pressure is on the Mavericks.
What?
Why not talk about the east side?
Stop making trouble. As we all know, the competitive environment in the Eastern Conference has never been as harsh as that in the Western Conference, and there are only a few real contenders for the championship.
Don't look at the raucous performance of the Eagles in the regular season this season, but their record is a blast!
But don’t forget, the playoffs are a stage for superstars. The current situation of the Hawks is very much like that of the civilian Pistons. They may be able to break into the first round, second round and even the Eastern Conference Finals with their resilience, but they want to replicate the original civilian Pistons. Counterattacking the glory of Lakers F4 is as difficult as the sky!
Everyone has a steelyard in their mind. Ask yourself, the only ones that are truly competitive in the Eastern Conference are the five Pacers and the Cavaliers led by James.
But the problem is that Paul George, the Pacers' core player who averaged 21 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game last season, has long been reimbursed for the season. The Pacers, currently 20 wins and 33 losses, have also withdrawn from the championship ranks.
Not surprisingly, James will dominate the Eastern Conference playoffs.
…
…
Time flies, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye, and it’s the game day of their respective teams.
On February 19, the league only scheduled two games.
One is the Thunder playing against the Mavericks at home; the other is the Spurs going to Angel City to challenge the Clippers.
All four teams have the strength to make the Western Conference playoffs, especially the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks. It is a fierce duel related to the playoff spots of the two teams.
On the night of the 19th, when Durant was not feeling well and only scored 12 points on 4 of 14 shots, Westbrook went crazy and scored 34 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.
In addition, Ibaka grabbed 22 rebounds in this game, setting a new career-high record.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks 104:89 at home, successfully surpassing the Pelicans and ranking ninth in the Western Conference, one step closer to the playoffs.
The camera switches to the Spurs' game against the Clippers.
In this campaign, Duncan stole the show against the Clippers, who have one of the league's top interior combinations. He scored 31 points and 11 rebounds, including a rare three-pointer.
You know, Duncan has only hit 29 three-pointers in his entire career. The last three-pointer he hit occurred on November 29, 2012, when the Spurs played against the Magic on the court.
A full 813 days have passed since then!
At the same time, Duncan, who is 30 years and 302 days old, has become the second oldest player in history to score 30+10 miracles.
As for the oldest person, who else could it be besides a hot man?
What's even more outrageous is that this hot man did 30+10 4 times in total even though he was older than Duncan!
Unfortunately, after a full-court battle, the Clippers relied on DeAndre Jordan to score 26+18, including 28 free throws, ranking second in the history of the Clippers.
Ranking first is Walder Free, who set a single-game free throw record of 29 on January 14, 1979, when the Clippers were still in San Diego.
Of course, this is also directly related to the fact that Simavici resorted to the "Jordan" tactic at the critical moment when the game entered the final period.
…
On February 19, after a long All-Star Game, the Trail Blazers players returned to the arena in high spirits.
They will face their first opponent after the All-Star Game tonight - the Salt Lake City Jazz!
Wang Zelin was the first to enter the arena. As soon as he changed his clothes, he saw Jokic coming in with a bag on his back.
After more than half a season, the relationship between the two, who often stay and practice together, is getting better and better. Jokic often comes to his house for dinner.
After going back and forth, Jokic also fell in love with Chinese food.
In order to let Jokic experience the richness and variety of Chinese cuisine, he specially hired two private chefs from China at high prices. One is good at Sichuan cuisine and the other is good at Cantonese cuisine.
Ahem, this is definitely not because someone is greedy.
An hour later, the players arrived one after another.
Head coach Terry Stotts and assistant coaches also arrived.
After a morning of training, there was a pre-game meeting in the afternoon, and Coach Terry left the rest of the time to the players to make their own arrangements.
At 19:40 in the evening, the Trail Blazers started their first game after the All-Star break.
The Jazz basically missed the playoffs this season and completely let themselves go, focusing on polishing their young main force and hoping to win a good draft pick.
Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert, Derrick Favors, Joe Ingles and other main players have all received good playing time.
Among them, Gordon Hayward scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. His all-round statistics also made the Jazz management more determined to have a future development plan with him as the core.
As for the result of the game?
Naturally, it ended with the Trail Blazers defeating the Jazz.
Entering the second half of the season, no one is willing to stay, and no one thinks that something unexpected will happen if the Trail Blazers play a team like the Jazz.
This time, Wang Zelin taught the second-year Gobot a good lesson, knocking him off the field in less than three quarters.
In terms of personal data, he also showed his skills in a small way. He played 33 minutes and easily scored 30 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks.
Counting the 33 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks he scored against the Lakers before the All-Star break, it seems like he is about to start another consecutive 30+ scoring performance.
Immediately after the All-Star Game, he scored a 30+15 double-double, which made Wang Zelin's best position more and more stable.
After the game, he took a look at the results of several teams that he was likely to encounter in the first round of this year's playoffs as usual.
First, the Spurs lost to the Warriors 99:110 in back-to-back games. The Splash scored 45+14 at home and won two consecutive games; the GDP trio only scored 18 points, and the Spurs suffered two consecutive losses.
After this battle, the topic "The old king has passed away and a new king will rise" was once again made headlines by major media and marked on the most conspicuous section.
The Mavericks, who also had back-to-back games, faced the challenge of the Mosaic team at home. Although Parsons was injured in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks still won the victory with the comprehensive performance of eight players in double figures.
Durant and Westbrook, who sat at home and watched the entire game, felt increasingly that the second half of the schedule would be extremely difficult.
Finally, he did not forget to pay attention to the game between the Lakers and the Nets.
After the game, Rondo had 18 points and 12 assists, Kobe Bryant contributed 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Gasol had 17 points and 10 rebounds. With the outstanding performance of the Big Three, the Lakers defeated the Nets 114:105 at home and won their first victory after the All-Star Weekend.
On February 22, the Trail Blazers continued to play at home.
The Memphis Grizzlies went to Portland. I don’t know whether it was because of the away game or because he was missing the wonderful All-Star Weekend. Randolph failed to find his touch tonight. He made 4 of 17 shots and only scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. The biggest scapegoat for the Grizzlies' loss tonight.
Due to the abnormal performance of the team's second scoring point, the Grizzlies finally lost by 4 points.
88:84, the game against the Grizzlies was, as usual, defense first.
A high-EQ statement: This is a night for tough guys, and the two teams fought extremely hard!
A low EQ statement: Damn it, when did you open a blacksmith shop? Or two? ? ?
Marc Gasol had 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. In fact, his performance was not bad, but Wang Zelin, who made 14 of 27 in the game, still surpassed him by a lot with 33 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
After the game, the local media in Memphis next door couldn't help but exclaimed: "Even Mark and Zach can't restrain Wang? If Wang leads the Trail Blazers to continue to wreak havoc like this, the teams in the West will When will I be able to make my mark!"
But unfortunately, winning the Jazz and Grizzlies was just an appetizer before the meal.
In the last two games at the end of the month, the Trail Blazers faced two tough opponents, the Spurs and Thunder. But even so, Wang Zelin continued his hot state after the All-Star Game against these two powerful enemies.
In a home game against the Spurs on February 25, Wang Zelin scored 31 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, completely leaving Deng no face.
On February 27th, they faced the Thunder at home. Durant, who was full of revenge, scored 41 points in the game; but he lost to Wang Zelin, who smashed the Thunder's entire inside group to pieces...
He made 20 of 29 shots from the field, 5 of 8 free throws, scored 45 points, 22 rebounds and 7 blocks, annihilating the Thunder with his own hands!
On the 28th, the Blazers, who were riding a 4-game winning streak at home, traveled from the Northwest to Sacramento in the Pacific.
However, compared with the previous tough dishes, the overly weak Kings team currently has a record of only 20 wins and 36 losses. In front of the menacing Wang Zelin and others, it is like a refreshing and delicious after-dinner snack.
As a result, the Trail Blazers won the game without a fight. Wang Zelin scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, achieving a near-triple-double.
After the February schedule, the Trail Blazers played a total of 58 regular season games, with a record of 50 wins and 8 losses...
The fastest team in the league to win 50 games!
At the same time, they will continue to suppress the 45-11 Golden State Warriors, firmly ranking first in the league!
Throughout February, the Trail Blazers played a total of 10 games and achieved a record of 9 wins and 1 loss. The winning rate was quite terrifying.
At this point, everyone knows that the best player of the month in February is none other than Trail Blazers No. 36!
This is also true.
On the morning of March 1, Wang Zelin’s cell phone was filled to the brim with a large number of congratulatory text messages and missed calls, and it almost burst.
Really, he is not Zhang Erkang Yida, he will overflow when he is full...
When I turned on my phone, as expected, they were all congratulating me for winning the Best of the Month four times.
Opening the browser and entering the official website, he quickly saw the candidates for Eastern Conference Monthly Player of the Month...
Lei Balong, it is indeed you!
During February, the Cleveland Cavaliers were scheduled to play a total of 8 games. Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers achieved a record of 8 wins and 2 losses.
The key is that during February, the Cavaliers completely surpassed the Chicago Bulls and ranked among the top two in the Eastern Conference, with a record second only to the Hawks.
In addition, the scoring of all members of the Eagles is too balanced. It is enough for all five of the record-breaking starting players to be selected once. It is impossible for the league to do it again.
The above are the main reasons why James was successfully elected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in February with 24.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists.
In the West, judging from the record in February, the strong contenders for Player of the Month are Trail Blazers boss Wang Zelin, Warriors boss Curry, Mosaic boss Harden and Thunder second-in-command Westbrook.
However, among the latter three, Harden and Westbrook both lost to Wang Zelin in their matches in February. The only one who can really pose a threat to him is a primary school student.
In terms of team record, the Warriors played 11 games in February and achieved a record of 8 wins and 3 losses under the leadership of Curry. First of all, the Warriors are not as good as the Trail Blazers in terms of record.
Secondly, not to mention personal data. Although Curry has reached the peak of his career at this stage, his Lang 13 soul has not really awakened, and he has not yet completely entered Curry's state.
To put it bluntly, he is still a little timid in scoring now and has not truly reached the level of a scoring champion.
To be more precise, the Jinzhou primary school student now has the ability to score at the level of a scoring champion, but he does not yet have the confidence that a scoring champion should have to regard the world's top players as the one who leads the way.
Maybe it's because his strength has grown faster than he imagined. Even Curry himself didn't realize that he was already so strong that his mentality didn't correct.
This is what caused Curry. Although he is now leading the team with strong results, his personal data is relatively average compared to several other players who are also ranked at the top of the regular season mvp list.
So far this season, he has averaged 23.5 points, 7.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 0.3 blocks and... a rather eye-catching 2 steals per game.
Even in February, the data increased slightly, but it only achieved a performance of 24+8+4+2.
In comparison.
Wang Zelin, who started 10 games in February, averaged 31.4 points, 15.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 3.7 blocks and 0.3 steals per game!
Whether from the perspective of the media or the fans, he is the more exaggerated one.
In addition to slightly more assists and steals than Wang Zelin, Curry's average data per game in February was lagging behind in all aspects of scoring, rebounds and blocks, as well as some high-level data.
In the end, he also successfully defeated Curry, Harden, and Westbrook, and once again won the Western Conference Best of the Month!
In addition to the shortened season, normally there will be 6 Best of the Month selections in each regular season, which will largely affect the final regular MVP selection.
Now, Wang Zelin has won the top four spots in the Western Conference. In the competition for regular season MVP, he is already far ahead of other competitors.
The most important thing is that starting from the first full month of the season, Wang Zelin averaged 25.6 points and 13.6 rebounds per game in November; 38.4 points and 16.6 rebounds per game in December; and 32.3 points and 15.6 rebounds per game in the first month of 2015. A rebound...
In other words, this is the third time this season that Wang Zelin has averaged more than 30+10 per game in a single month.
This terrifying battery life is what makes other competitors most desperate.
