The terrifying impact of Wang Zelin's 80+ triple-double has not dissipated. Under the general trend, the die-hards led by ESPN had to choose to give in. In the latest active team strength rankings, the Trail Blazers surpassed the Warriors for the first time this season. Topping the list, the probability of winning the championship also climbed to first in the league, as high as 64%!
The Trail Blazers, who had not lost a game since the beginning of the game with twenty consecutive victories, finally won everyone's respect and recognition with their tough performance.
On the 3rd, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Miami Heat at home.
The Heat have not had an easy time in the past two years. In the summer of 2014, Chris Bosh, who reached a five-year contract extension with a maximum salary of 118 million yuan, suffered a "career-ending injury."
In Wang Zelin's previous life, Bosh missed all games in the 2016-17 season due to a blood clot in his body, thus bidding farewell to the NBA.
This summer, the Heat sent away Dwayne Wade, the first player in team history. The Heat's management was cold-blooded beyond people's imagination, which also caused the Heat's impression in the hearts of fans to plummet.
The same is true among star players. After all, not many people are willing to play for such an impersonal team.
Under the leadership of Hassan Whiteside and Goran Dragic, the Heat currently only have a record of 7 wins and 12 losses, and are about to be unable to survive in the Eastern Conference. They have ushered in the most difficult period in team history. A journey of reconstruction.
At 20:00 on the evening of the 3rd, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Heat went on as scheduled.
In the end, 129:92, the Trail Blazers defeated the Heat by 37 points at home, and their winning streak reached a terrifying 21 wins. The outside world was stunned by this.
On the 4th, the league announced the new Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week.
The Eastern Conference Player of the Week was awarded to Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks. Last week he led the Bucks to three wins in three games. His personal data was 24.310 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 3.7 steals, 3 blocks, and three field goal percentages. They are 59.5%, 40% and 70.4% respectively.
Regardless of record or data, Antetokounmpo was the best player in the Eastern Conference in the past week, which earned him the honor of the week for the first time in his career.
At this point, the rise of the Greek monsters was officially announced.
Soon, a new force will be added to the alliance.
In the West, Wang Zelin was undoubtedly elected as the Western Conference Player of the Week in the past week. 80+ triple-doubles in a single game left all Wang Zelin with nowhere to hide, and had to temporarily retreat or transform.
On the 5th, the Trail Blazers began a road trip to the Eastern Conference.
That night, they unexpectedly lost to the Bulls on the road and suffered their first loss of the season.
The Blazers' undefeated streak has been broken!
As soon as this news came out, fans from the other 29 teams rushed to tell each other, frantically venting their inner excitement at this moment.
There is no way, Wang Zelin's performance during this period is really terrible. If he continues according to this script, no one can guarantee that he will not be able to break Chamberlain's 100-point record.
Fortunately, Wang Zelin and the Blazers' crazy momentum was finally interrupted by the Bulls.
On the night of the 5th, except for Wang Zelin, all other players of the Trail Blazers lost power.
This once again reflects the benefits of digitizing player abilities, which not only ensures that Wang Zelin's performance will never be stretched, but also extends his peak period indefinitely.
After the digitization of abilities, challenging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is just around the corner!
For the Bulls, Wade, Rose, and Davis all broke out. The three of them scored 90 points together, accounting for more than 80% of the team's scores.
At the same time, the Bulls' substitutes also performed well. They were holding their breath and trying to prove themselves tonight.
Eventually, they did.
The Bulls defended their home court to the death, 122:115, ending the Trail Blazers' winning streak with a slight advantage of 7 points.
In the first game of four consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference, the Trail Blazers had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and their undefeated streak was broken.
However, a record of 21 wins and 1 loss still ensures that the Trail Blazers are ranked first in the league.
Next, the Trail Blazers continue their road trip in the Eastern Conference.
On the 7th, the Trail Blazers came to Milwaukee and defeated the Bucks away from home.
The Bucks are like an upstart in the Eastern Conference in the new season. Their record of 10 wins and 9 losses has allowed them to firmly hold the threshold of the top six in the Eastern Conference. There may be many deficiencies within this team and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
But the vitality on the faces of every Bucks player on the field convinced countless people that this Bucks has a promising future.
However, it is inevitable to encounter obstacles on the road of growth, and you still have to pay the tuition fees.
133:112, the second stop of the Trail Blazers' Eastern Conference, Lillard and Barton finally found their form, and together with Wang Zelin, beat the Bucks by 21 points.
In this game, Wang Zelin still performed normally, scoring 38 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals.
The battle of the century with the Warriors did not affect Wang Zelin's subsequent performance. He is still the most durable man in the league. Even if he lost to the Bulls in the last game, he was still able to contribute a large double-double of 33 points and 16 rebounds.
Two consecutive games of 30+10 disappointed countless fans who were looking forward to Wang Zelin's sudden power outage.
It seems that Wang Hei will continue to hibernate for a while.
The Bucks' inside core, Jabari Parker, was severely restricted by Wang Zelin. He only scored 6 points and 8 rebounds, a season low.
Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, plays on the outside with a height of over 2.10 meters, which allows him to fully demonstrate his advantages, which also makes Batum and Button unbearable.
At the end of the game, Antetokounmpo scored an all-around triple-double of 15 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks!
It is not an exaggeration to use the phrase "The Bucks lost, but Antetokounmpo did not lose" to evaluate Antetokounmpo's performance tonight.
When the final buzzer sounded, several Bucks players such as Jabari Parker and Greg Monroe did not communicate with the Trail Blazers players, but quickly turned around and entered the tunnel.
Just when Wang Zelin was about to complain about the rudeness of the young people opposite him, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in front of him...
Giannis Antetokounmpo!
He first hugged and communicated with Lillard Jokic and other Trail Blazers players.
It wasn't until the last one that he came to Wang Zelin.
Antetokounmpo took the initiative to shake hands and hug Wang Zelin, and finally said with emotion: "Wang, with a guy like you, this opponent is really disappointing. Although I have not personally seen how Jordan plays, but I believe you No way worse than Jordan.
You are amazing! I am convinced that I lost tonight. When I go back, I will work harder and train harder to become stronger the next time we fight!
By the way, I want to ask, can I exchange jerseys with you? "
In a daze, he exchanged jerseys with Antetokounmpo. After Antetokounmpo left with a smile for a long time, Wang Zelin reacted belatedly.
The guy just looked like an ardent fan!
He really didn't expect that the Greek monster who has risen strongly this season is actually his little fan!
Emmm, strictly speaking, Antetokounmpo is only one year younger than me.
But, when I think about the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was a two-time regular season MVP winner in his previous life, is actually his loyal fan...
This feeling is really good!
