Continuous timeouts, yes, the Pistons called another timeout.
This puzzled the Pistons fans, but they understood immediately. When they saw Van Gundy calling up the substitutes, they knew he was preparing to give up the game.
The opponent's momentum was so strong that Van Gundy knew that this game could no longer be won, so he replaced the main players one after another.
However, they were relieved and didn't have to worry about the team continuing to be abused.
Barkley said regretfully: "With about half a quarter left, the Pistons unilaterally chose to surrender, which also means that the game ended early. There is a high probability that we will not see Wang score more than 60!"
Hearing this, Kenny Smith smiled: "Hey, man, the Pistons are already miserable enough, and you have to rub salt in the wound. Besides, 50+ quadruple-doubles is already outrageous. If we continue to play, I'm worried about Wang and The Blazers will not be able to leave the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight."
"Hahaha……"
Buckley instantly burst into laughter.
The camera is on the field.
The Pistons admitted defeat, and Wang Zelin was too embarrassed to force another 60 points on the Pistons. In the next round, the Blazers' coach Terry also called a timeout.
After the timeout, Pistons fans in the Palace Arena at Auburn Hills breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Zelin didn't get up again.
At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Pistons 118-88 and 30 points on the away road, successfully winning their first 7 consecutive victories!
Wang Zelin was elected the best of the game. His personal data was finally fixed at a super quadruple-double of 50 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks and 2 steals.
During the on-site interview session, all the media came forward and surrounded the Trail Blazers rest area.
When Buckley and Kenny Smith rushed over after finishing the live broadcast, they could no longer get close to Wang Zelin, and Zhang Lili and his young apprentice Zhang Manyuan could only stay outside.
"Wang, someone on the Internet commented that today's four pairs were faked. What do you think of this?" a reporter asked.
"Haha." Wang Zelin sneered, and then replied: "In my opinion, every superstar is a big data brush, why should I be an exception?"
The media reporters burst into laughter.
"Wang, do you have any celebration plans tonight?"
Buckley shouted from a distance.
"Brother, someone is treating you tonight. How about I ask you if he is willing to give you another seat?" Wang Zelin said with a smile.
"Haha, I think he would be very happy."
Of course Barkley knew who Wang Zelin was talking about. In fact, at the end of halftime, media reporters knew about the bet between Wang Zelin and Drummond.
He simply ended the interview with the best player on the scene, and then quickly returned to the locker room. He looked at his phone and saw text messages from friends such as Curry, Thompson, Oladipo and Butler.
After replying one by one, I threw down my phone and went to take a shower.
At this time, there was already an uproar on major social media.
…
…
"The King of China scored 50 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks! A super quadruple-double led the team to victory!" - "The New York Times"
"The first player in the new century! After 21 years, the miracle of four pairs returns to the league!" - "Los Angeles Times"
"Lost to the Kings! Lost to a quadruple-double! The Pistons did not lose unfairly in this game!" - "Bleachers"
"Two games in a row with 50+ points! 7 consecutive wins in the beginning! Oh my god, who else can stop this Portland army from advancing!" - "Sports Illustrated"
In addition to the media, some legendary celebrities also expressed their views.
"He's the best 5 I've ever seen! I think he's better than Shaq!" - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
"The word dominance is aptly applied to kings!" - Bill Walton
"What? Someone got a quadruple-double... Oh, it was Wang who got it, that's okay! You are right, maybe Wang is really more suitable for the praise of dominance than me!" - O'Neal
…
The pioneers are really strong!
Perhaps this is the true inner feeling of people after watching last night's game.
You know, based on the Pistons' performance in these games, they can basically confirm a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are no longer the weak team of previous seasons.
But just like this, a team that has always had playoff potential in the Eastern Conference was actually beaten by the Trail Blazers by a full 30 points. Even the top player, Wang Zelin, produced the only quadruple-double in the 21st century.
When the four pairs swept across the Internet, the kings and blacks were instantly silent.
This meow, do you think you can eat people?
…
…
The Lakers also have a game scheduled for today. Their opponent is the New York Knicks, the league's largest defensive team.
The Knicks have had a very bad start this year, with only 1 win and 5 losses. It seems that they are playing at a bad rhythm again.
Of course, this is also consistent with the Knicks' consistent resume.
In the end, Lakers leader Kobe Bryant led the team to a 109:95 away victory over the Knicks. The team's record improved to 5 wins and 2 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.
Ahead of them are the Trail Blazers and Warriors, who both have 7 consecutive victories, and the Thunder, which has 6 wins and 1 loss. The Lakers also have a very strong start this year.
However, compared with the strong start, what people are more concerned about this season is not the current record of the Lakers, but the topic that Kobe is about to surpass Karl Malone and become second in the scoring list, which has caused heated discussions among the media and fans.
In this time and space, Kobe has not suffered a serious Achilles tendon tear. He has maintained a good attendance rate in the past two seasons. He played a total of 78 games in the 13-14 season, averaging 25 points per game;
He played a total of 80 games in the 14-15 season, averaging 23 points per game. In addition to the 31,617 points he scored in the first 17 seasons, after the end of last season, Kobe's career total points have exceeded the 35,000-point mark, with a cumulative total of 31,617 points. 35407 points.
Including the victory over the Knicks, Kobe has averaged 28 points per game in the past 7 regular season games. His career scoring milestone has also reached 35,603 points, which is second behind Karl. Malone's 36,928 points have taken another step forward.
Objectively speaking, it is still very difficult for Kobe to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but if he can score 1,522 points in the regular season this season, he can successfully surpass Karl Malone and rank second on the all-time scoring list.
Nowadays, the general public opinion from the outside world is that there is a high probability that he will surpass Karl Malone this season, because during the regular season, he only needs to average 20 points per game and ensure attendance in 76 games to achieve this goal.
Even though the Lakers have now acquired Paul, the ball-handling core, which has allowed Kobe to further develop into an extremely functional catch-and-shoot style, this does not prevent Kobe from still being a member of the 20-point club in the regular season.
By the way, Kobe, who is already 37 years old, extended his contract for another two years after the team acquired Chris Paul this summer.
And the reason why he made this choice was that he didn't have the idea of hitting the all-time scoring list in his heart.
If all goes well, by the end of this season, Kobe will surpass Karl Malone and his total personal score will exceed the 37,000-point mark. Then the only thing standing in front of him will be the legendary "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 points. .
As long as he doesn't suffer serious injuries, Kobe's perimeter offensive skills, which are among the best in history, will be enough for him to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the all-time scoring leader in two seasons!
As Wang Zelin said before, every NBA superstar is a big brush, including the NBA itself, which is a super database.
The championship is data! mvp is data! The best lineup is data! Historical status is also data!
Even player annual salaries are part of the NBA database.
Admit it, most people are selfish, and every move is often driven by desire. Therefore, it is reasonable for Kobe to choose to make an appointment in advance.
Facing the temptation of being the NBA's all-time leading scorer, it would be the same no matter who you replace him with.
At the same time, Kobe's choice to renew his contract put an end to the similar speculations made by many experts before the start of the season that "Kobe is done with this matter and is very likely to choose to retire." It also stabilized the Lakers' military morale and made the team more motivated to move forward. That's enough.
Now that Kobe has chosen to renew his contract, in the next three seasons, a mere 2,783 points will not be a problem at all!
The team does not need to make concessions for Kobe to break the record, but it is also conducive to renewing Paul's contract and cultivating new players. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
The Lakers started with 5 wins and 2 losses and quickly dominated public opinion. Wang Zelin read the analysis of various experts... I didn't expect that whether Kobe Bryant renewed his contract would have such a far-reaching impact, but it has nothing to do with their Trail Blazers. , they were on their way to Denver.
After three consecutive home games at the beginning, the next step is a schedule of alternating home and away games.
The schedule is very easy, but the Trail Blazers have a lot to do. You must know that they are in a dynasty year this year.
Looking back at past dynasty teams, take Joe God and his Bulls dynasty as an example. The last year of a triple dynasty is often the most difficult.
why? Because there are so many things to consider.
The first is to renew the player's contract. After achieving such results, the players in the team will inevitably have an inflated mentality. Naturally, they want to gain fame and wealth, win the championship and get a big contract.
Matthews' choice is the best explanation.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers are probably the youngest quasi-dynasty team in history. The core leader Wang Zelin is not yet 25, which is too young.
Aldridge, the oldest member of the main lineup, is only in his thirties. In addition, he was selected and trained by the team and has strong emotions. Faced with the temptation of establishing a dynasty, he chose to stay with the team.
Then there is the decline in desire for championships, especially for some role players. No matter how many championships they win, they cannot stay close to the historical low. Therefore, now that they have championship rings, what they want to pursue... is only green money. !
In the most evil capitalist country, the United States, the mainstream trend here is to look forward. Even if you don't look forward, people will think that you may have a serious illness and stay away from you decisively.
How much money can a professional athlete make in his career, especially a role player who is not a star yet but just a sideshow?
Instead of thinking about those illusory things, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the value is high after winning the championship, shout out the championship team puzzle, and then find a team that is a big enemy to make a profit. Isn't it delicious?
In addition, there are a series of fatigue, injuries, etc., these problems are all visible.
But fortunately, compared with previous dynasty teams, the Trail Blazers are young enough. Dare to think and dare to do is the common label of every young person.
How else to say that youth has no limits!
…
After arriving in Denver on the 10th, Wang Zelin did not go out for a stroll, mainly because there was nothing to see in Denver itself. It would be better to stay in the hotel, play video games, and then prepare for the game with peace of mind.
The current strength of tomorrow night's opponent, the Nuggets, can only be said to be average. It's not even possible to find out who their star player is, because the star flavor of this team is so scarce.
Let’s not talk about the substitute lineup. Among the main lineup, the only ones Wang Zelin is familiar with are Orc Farid and his former teammate JJ Hickson.
Oh, by the way, there's that Italian cannon Gallinari.
Then, it was gone.
…
The next day, media around the world were still preaching about the fifth quadruple-double in history.
In the evening, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets began.
At the entrance of the players' tunnel, the two teams met. Hickson came out of the queue and said hello to his former teammates one by one, and then reluctantly returned to the team.
If I had not left the team, I would probably have two championship rings, right?
At this time, no one knew the complex emotions inside the league bum.
This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss.
As he gets older, Hickson's athletic ability has declined. He has gone from the double-double Mr. Wang Zelin first saw to a substitute player averaging 6+4 per game.
Thinking about anything else now is just a fantasy. It is better to continue thinking about how to make a living in the NBA.
At 19:00 in the evening, the game starts.
Although Wang Zelin had two consecutive 50-point games and a super quadruple-double in this game, it attracted a lot of attention, but the strength of the Nuggets is obviously not worthy of such high popularity.
After only half a half, the game was completely ruined.
At 61:35, the Trail Blazers led the Nuggets by a full 26 points.
Entering the third quarter, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Wang Zelin only played for less than 5 minutes. He was unstoppable on the offensive end and blocked the sky on the defensive end, suddenly widening the point difference to 40 points.
Then the game was reduced to garbage time, and coach Terry also took the opportunity to verify the new tactics in his mind, and at the same time let the rookie Harrell speed up his integration through the game.
In the end, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Nuggets 118:94 on the road and won their first 8 consecutive games.
In this game, Wang Zelin only played for 25 minutes, and could not even clock in three quarters, but he still easily and comfortably got a large double-double of 30+12, with full efficiency.
In the end, he was once again selected as the best player in the game.
After leaving the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest, and then they will face another powerful team in the Western Conference-the San Antonio Spurs!
At the beginning of almost every season, someone always puts forward the argument that "GDP is another year older."
But the fact is that the Spurs currently rank among the top eight in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses.
You call this another year older?
After being deceived for so many years, a fool fell for it.
