In this game, Wang Zelin scored 28 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 8 blocks and 2 steals, but in the end the best player of the game was given to Lillard.
On the one hand, Lillard's two three-pointers at the last moment were particularly critical, almost a Shakespeare game; on the other hand, this was because Lillard's performance was equally outstanding, scoring 33 points, 11 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 rebounds. A double-double with a steal.
After this game, the Trail Blazers' schedule is a little sad. It's not that their opponents are strong, but that they are about to face four consecutive away challenges in the Eastern Conference.
Fortunately, the team had three days of rest before four consecutive away games, which was enough for them to recharge their batteries.
After an ordinary day, on January 13th, all members of the Trail Blazers came to Brooklyn, New York City, to continue preparing for their regular season journey.
The Trail Blazers will spend the next week in the East.
After another unremarkable day, on January 14, the Trail Blazers started their 39th regular season game at the Buckley Center, home of the Nets.
Since Davis joined the Bulls to form the Big Three, the stimulated Eastern Conference teams have also begun an arms race. The Nets have gradually fallen behind in the tree-ring competition, and their strength has tended to be average.
Now they have a record of 11 wins and 28 losses, which is at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. There is a high probability that they will miss the playoffs.
Of course, this also makes them one of the most far-sighted teams in the league. After all, they can start preparing for the 2016 draft now.
At 7pm, the game starts.
Both teams are regular lineups, and Wang Zelin got the first offensive opportunity for the Trail Blazers for the Nth time in a row.
After halftime, the connection between Lillard and Wang Zelin led to a beautiful alley-oop, and Wang Zelin's one-arm dunk blasted away the Nets' basket.
The Nets attacked, veteran Joe Johnson scored a goal, and then turned back to his position. Wang Zelin and Aldridge provided Batum with continuous off-ball pick-and-rolls, and Lillard dribbled the ball and waited outside.
After running for almost 10 seconds, Batum finally got rid of the heavy defense and had a chance, and Lillard passed the ball to Batum.
Batum failed to grasp the three-pointer, but fortunately Wang Zelin had the rebound and succeeded in the second attack under the basket.
That's not all. After a few minutes of playing, the Trail Blazers stole the Nets' offense. Batum and Button's 2-on-0 frontcourt...
"boom!"
There was another loud bang, and Batum quickly followed up, received a pass from Patton, and performed a rim dunk for the more than 19,000 fans in the Buck Center.
Coming to the first stop in the Eastern Conference, the entire Trail Blazers team was very excited and played extremely passionately on the court.
Facing the Blazers' passionate style of play, the Nets' strength was obviously difficult to withstand, and they were beaten back after a while.
Soon after the first quarter, the Trail Blazers made 15 of 27 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 40 points.
At the same time, the opponent's team score was successfully controlled to 16 points.
Leading by 24 points with a score of 40 to 16 in a single quarter, it can be said that the game was completely defeated from the beginning.
But there was no unhappy expression on the faces of the Nets players, even veteran Joe Johnson. There was a numbness in his eyes, numbness caused by losing too many games.
The same goes for Nets coach Tony Brown. During the timeout, he showed little interest in tactical arrangements. He casually said a few words and dealt with it, not to let the players continue to play.
The Nets can't beat many teams, let alone the Portland Trail Blazers, the current number one team in the NBA!
In the second quarter, the two teams rotated lineups to compete, and the strength gap was still huge.
After halftime, the Trail Blazers were 68 to 38, with the girls leading by as much as 30 points.
In the second half, Wang Zelin only played 7 minutes. His personal statistics were fixed at 27 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. He never played again in the subsequent time.
At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nets by 36 points 130-94 in the away game and continued their winning streak.
The next day, during a back-to-back game against the 75ers, an accident occurred.
Perhaps because he was suppressed too hard by Wang Zelin in the first half, Okafor, who only scored 4 points and 1 rebound in 20 minutes at halftime, thought he could avoid Wang Zelin and score points when he faced the Trail Blazers rotation in the third quarter. , make your data column look better.
But who knew that under the continuous harassment of Jokic and Harrell, Okafor not only failed to score many points, but also quickly committed two fouls, and he became more and more irritable.
More than six minutes into the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led the 75ers by 16 points, 75:59. Seeing that the official timeout was coming, both sides were preparing to replace their main players.
In the last attack before the official timeout, after Jokic completed the pick-and-roll with Beverley in the high post, he cut in and penetrated Okafor, and then made a layup after the confrontation.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
When I think about myself being ranked No. 1, I have only scored 7 points and 3 rebounds, but the fat white guy No. 15 in front of me has already scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Isn’t it just because you are with a good team? What's wrong?
The more Okafor thought about it, the more unbalanced he became. Jealousy continued to burn, and his eyes became red.
Youdao means one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.
The next moment, I saw him suddenly push Jokic from behind when he was taking off.
Although Jokic reacted quickly and quickly adjusted in the air, barely putting the ball in to score two points, he still landed on his shoulders with a direct expression when he landed, lying on the floor in pain.
Seeing Jokic being brought down by someone's trick, the other four players on the Trail Blazers quickly stepped forward to confront Okaf.
Noel, Sanderson, Cannan and others on the field also quickly came behind.
The atmosphere on the court was tense.
Okafor, who is now completely intoxicated, has lost all his usual sanity. After being surrounded, he kept cursing and spitting all over the sky.
But when he was cursing, a heavy punch suddenly hit him.
He couldn't dodge and was knocked over by a punch.
And that's not even counting the fight. The master of the punch was sitting on top of him, and was facing him with a set of combination punches, constantly swinging them.
Fortunately, Okafor was still conscious after falling to the ground, and his body subconsciously used his arms to protect his vital parts to prevent his head from being injured, otherwise he would have been KOed on the spot.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
All the players on the field were dumbfounded because it was Harrell who punched.
No one expected that Harrell, a rookie, could attack so decisively that Okafor was unilaterally knocked down by him before everyone could react.
Looking at Harrell who is constantly pumping his fists and his dreadlocks that are constantly flying due to the rapid swing of his body, the whole picture is full of violence and wildness.
Did the Trail Blazers draft a rookie this season, or did they recruit a thug?
This, this, this... is too cruel!
