The battle between Wang Zelin and Embiid was extremely heated, but the heat came and went away even faster.
The NBA is a place where updates and iterations are ridiculously fast. You must continue to perform at a high level to consolidate yourself, otherwise it will just be a wave of popularity.
What's more, you can beat Wang Zelin!
In the end, you have to say a lot of things even if you lose, but if you win, it’s okay!
The reason why the media is willing to praise Embiid is because they see the hope of upsetting the Trail Blazers in the 75ers.
Sister Cheng thought that Embiid and his 75ers were all ruthlessly taught by Wang Zelin.
In the face of the real terror, both Embiid and the 75ers are too young, and they are not enough to provoke such a powerful enemy.
On the morning of December 11th, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland without stopping. Tonight they will play the Clippers back-to-back at their home Rose Garden Arena.
The Clippers' current situation in the past two years can be said to be very bad, and this season is also the same. The current record is slightly better than the previous 75ers, but not much better.
With 11 wins and 15 losses, they are ranked 11th in the Western Conference. If nothing unexpected happens, if they follow the current script, the Clippers will have to fish early in the offseason.
Fortunately, Griffin's condition is getting better and better.
I remember at the beginning of the season when the major stars were in great shape, there were really 15 players in the league averaging 25+ points per game. By coincidence, Griffin ranked 16th in the scoring list with an average of 24.8 points per game.
As the season progresses and the tide recedes, some stars gradually cool down from their fanatic state, while some stars enter a good state and perform better and better.
Griffin falls into the latter category.
In the 26 games he served as the Clippers' starter, Griffin's game averages have all improved to varying degrees, reaching 27 points, 10.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1 steal, which is quite versatile.
The Clippers' nearly two years of unlimited firing rights were not in vain, helping Griffin complete a gorgeous transformation and become a typical representative of the point forward in the new era.
It's just that because the team's record is poor, and Curry and Haden, both from the 2009 class, are in their prime, many people have intentionally or unintentionally ignored Griffin's existence.
Griffin is naturally dissatisfied with the team's record, but he also understands that the Clippers and Lakers are both in Los Angeles. In contrast, whenever the trade market comes, the big fish are more keen to invest in the arms of the Purple and Gold Lakers. Really There are only a few big fish that come into the mouth of the clipper.
In addition, Griffin also has to bear some responsibility for the team's poor record. He was happy to have the power to fire wirelessly, but he had less meat to share with other teammates.
Recently, reporters reported that Griffin and DeAndre Jordan had conflicts in the locker room and training field more than once.
After the departure of captain Paul, the former Clippers insider Gemini seems to be facing the day of falling apart.
The city of alley-oops for a generation and the youthful memories of a generation of fans are about to disappear.
Between Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, as long as the management is not a fool, they should know who to choose.
According to reports from NBA Baixiaoshengwo Shen, DeAndre Jordan has been put on the shelves by the Clippers to attract teams that lack strong inside players. They want to exchange DeAndre Jordan for an outside core who can form a core with Griffin. One outside and two cores will help the Clippers return to the playoffs.
Among them, the Pelicans' head Jimmy Butler, the Pacers' head Paul George, and the Kings' core outside duo of Rondo and Wiggins are all included in the Clippers' trade reinforcement plan.
Don't forget, Clippers owner Ballmer is one of the top three richest people in the league. He is a ball-loving person and is willing to spend big money to bring in strong reinforcements for the Clippers.
For him, it is meaningless to strengthen just one point. If you want to do it, you have to do it in pairs, which is exactly in line with the current situation in the league where the Big Three and Big Four super teams are often gathered together.
Don't think it's an exaggeration. If the Clippers really find a good entry point, they still have a big boss who is willing to spend money and pay the luxury tax casually. Maybe at some point, a spaceship will suddenly descend on the league.
When the time comes, the fun will be great.
The competition in the Western Conference in recent years has been exaggerated. If another spaceship is added, it will most likely push the competitive environment in the Western Conference to an unprecedented inner circle peak.
The Western Division will also become a real meat grinder battlefield!
If the Clippers' recent ambiguous news with the cores of other teams has been so hot, then tonight the Clippers will lose miserably in Portland!
Except for Griffin, all other Clippers players have been put on the shelf and may be traded at any time.
Maybe I just finished playing tonight and have to move tomorrow. It's that exaggerated.
The current situation of panic among the people inside the team destined that the Clippers players could not use their strength in one place, and their performance on the court was as hazy as if they had lost three souls and seven souls.
Facing Jokic, Griffin continued to show his all-around skills.
The offensive range ranges from the low post to beyond the three-point line. His low post singles skills are very solid. He is proficient in jump shots and hook shots. At the same time, he has also developed silky dribbling and coordination skills...
It can be said that, except for the defensive end, which is still easy to become a breakthrough for teams with strong inside players, Griffin's other abilities have all reached the peak of his career.
All they need is to replace a group of good teammates, and the Clippers' return to the playoffs is just around the corner.
In the end, the Clippers were defeated by 25 points on the road.
Griffin seized control of the offense and made 15 hits in 33 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 8 of 11 free throws. He scored 41 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks, a super-large triple-double.
For some reason, when looking at the current White Warcraft, Wang Zelin always feels like looking at Love during the Timberwolves period.
But there is no doubt that Shafen in this season's state is definitely at a height he has never reached in his previous life.
The ability score is as high as 89. In the third echelon after superstars and superstars, it is also top-notch.
Among all the current players, there will never be more than 10 players who are stronger than Shafen.
The entire alliance has ushered in a development trend that is completely different from the previous life. The feeling of the unknown is really exciting!
…
On the 14th, the Trail Blazers continued to play at home.
Wang Zelin ushered in this year's biggest opponent in the MVP competition-"Triple-Double Madman" Russell Westbrook.
There is no doubt about Westbrook's ability this season. Stimulated by various factors, his ability rating reached 96, stepping into the realm of superstars.
Although he is likely to enter the realm of superstars only this season, with the blessing of a series of crazy triple-double records, it is enough to make the name "Russell Westbrook" engraved in the history books of the NBA. Forever.
Putting aside his mediocre record, Westbrook's performance this season has been phenomenal, no less than the greats of the NBA in the last century.
Many people may think that Westbrook's villa was created... Well, this seems to be a fact.
But if we change the angle and let new fans look back on this period of history ten, twenty, or thirty years later, to them, is Westbrook not another ancient god with explosive statistics?
This is the charm of data, and the impact it brings to people is very intuitive.
This is like people talking about Chamberlain and Russell now. The former will never be without 100 points in a single game and 20,000 in his career... Ahem, the latter is also indispensable with the 11 championship rings that are not enough for both hands.
The encounter between the two popular MVP candidates was of course arranged to be broadcast live across the United States.
In terms of personal performance, Wang Zelin and Westbrook can be said to be equally matched. The former has a large double-double of 45+25+5+5, while the latter has a super triple-double of 35+15+10 on a daily basis.
But in terms of team record, the Thunder are far behind the Trail Blazers, and the overall strength of the two sides is completely different.
In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Thunder with 16 points at home, 131:115, and won two consecutive home games.
Wang Zelin gained fame and fortune, not only defeating the biggest competitor for MVP, but also expanding the team's record.
Westbrook once again had a lone heroic night in which "the Thunder lost, but Westbrook did not lose".
No way, this is the "charm" of having a big core with the ball.
As long as your ability is strong enough, no matter how poorly the team performs, you can still produce some beautiful data and easily win the support of Excel fans.
By coincidence, Westbrook caught up with the year when his career broke out in a single season.
Just from the perspective of ordinary fans appreciating the game, Westbrook is great this season, and no amount of exaggerated praise can be exaggerated when it comes to him.
Of course, this only represents the first season in which he averaged a triple-double per game. The first year must be amazing, but if it continues for several consecutive seasons, it will be a matter of opinion.
