With 53 wins and 5 losses, the schedule before the NBA All-Star Weekend is over.
This record is quite explosive!
When the Bulls reached 50 wins, they had already lost 7 games.
After the game between the Trail Blazers and the Celtics, the major media immediately hyped this up, building on the previous hype after the Trail Blazers achieved the fastest 50 wins for three consecutive years!
At the same time, Wang Zelin's latest data after playing 58 games before the All-Star weekend was also announced by the media as soon as possible.
The Trail Blazers' schedule before the All-Star Weekend in the 2016-17 season is quite tight, with the most in the league at 58 games.
Among them, Wang Zelin started 58 games and averaged 40.2 points per game, far exceeding the second place of Westbrook who averaged 32 points per game, the third place of Harden who averaged 31.2 points per game, and the fourth place of Davis who averaged 30.5 points per game. And fifth place Thomas, who averages 30 points per game, ranks first in the active scoring list!
The above 5 players are the players in the 30-point-per-game club this season. Wang Zelin and Wang Zelin have even created a 40-point-per-game club on their own. Their explosive scoring power has broken the upper limit of countless people's imagination of the modern basketball system.
Averaged 18.5 rebounds per game, beating Hassan Whiteside who ranked second with 14.5 rebounds per game, Andre Drummond who ranked third with 14 rebounds per game, and DeAndre Jordan who ranked fourth with 13.8 rebounds per game... ...waiting for a group of rebounding masters to rank first in the active rebounding list!
Averaged 3.98 blocks per game, first in the league!
Overwhelming the rising insider Gobert, Davis, the No. 1 pick in the same class, and Turner, the Pacers' dedicated goalkeeper, who have risen in recent years.
Averaged 4.6 assists per game, currently ranked 31st, and ranked 5th among interior players!
Averaged 1.4 steals per game, currently ranked 19th, and ranked 3rd inside, second only to Draymond Green, who averaged 2 steals per game, and Andre Drummond, who averaged 1.5 steals per game.
He averaged 2 turnovers per game and 2.8 fouls per game. As the absolute core player on both ends of the Blazers' offense and defense, his performance was equally explosive.
The shooting percentage is 68%, the three-point shooting percentage is 42%, and the free throw percentage is 95%. This is not the 180 club, but directly to the 190 club. If the field goal percentage can break through two percentage points and reach 70%, Wang Zelin will definitely hit the 200 club!
These figures have been hyped before.
What surprised the major media was that the data they had painstakingly calculated were not as good as the "merely" two actual free throw lines that Wang Zelin had dunked during this period?
Ahem, maybe everyone is very accustomed to Wang Zelin's super statistics, and it even makes people feel a little numb. Therefore, fans are actively discussing after the game between the Trail Blazers and Celtics. Wang Zelin played against the Hawks and against Kyle. Special's two actual free throw line dunks in these two games.
The last time it was an alley-oop 360-degree dunk from the free throw line, this time it was a tomahawk dunk from the free throw line, and the rim was pulled off, causing the game to be interrupted for a period of time.
Well... the angle of discussion among fans is always beyond the expectations of the media. Who would have thought that the focus of fans is not the god-level data that Wang Zelin has worked hard to produce for half a season, but the two dunks.
But then, the media became extremely excited.
That's it for the first free throw line. This is the second free throw line. If Wang Zelin still chooses to be ambiguous about "Will he participate in the dunk contest?", then they will have reason to start running wildly.
…
…
On the morning of February 17, Wang Zelin rarely slept until he woke up naturally.
The schedule between the Trail Blazers All-Star Weekend is completely over, but there are still 9 games to be played today, so the team has a day off today to allow the players to take time to rest.
Especially for the three players Wang Zelin, Lillard and Jokic who are about to participate in the All-Star Game, they are very busy during the All-Star Weekend.
While other players are seizing this rare free time to adjust, they have to follow the league to participate in the annual charity event during All-Star Weekend.
But there's nothing you can do about it, there's something to be gained.
Talking about the upcoming 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend, this is the 66th All-Star event in NBA history, held in Portland on February 19, 2017.
The voting statistics for this All-Star Weekend and the players selected for the starting lineup and substitute lineup have been fully announced as early as the end of January.
Let’s talk about the 2017 All-Star voting situation first.
In the first stage of the All-Star voting, Wang Zelin led the league with over one million votes. In the second stage, Wang Zelin relied on a series of superb performances, especially after his quadruple-double of 30+ in the Thunder game. The votes went crazy.
Fortunately, after that game ended, it was the last day to vote for the All-Stars. Otherwise, his number of votes would have increased by another 1 million on the original basis, which is not just talk.
After two rounds of voting, Wang Zelin was crowned the All-Star voting champion for the fourth consecutive year with 3.3 million votes, continuing to set a new record for the number of individual All-Star voting champions. By the way, he once again broke the Portland Trail Blazers' record.
Fortunately, the entire Portland fans and the Blazers' management have long been accustomed to this. No matter how bizarre things happen to Wang Zelin, they will not feel weird.
Because in the eyes of people in this city, Wang Zelin himself symbolizes a miracle!
In addition to Wang Zelin, there are three other players who received more than one million votes in this year's All-Star voting. They are Cavaliers star LeBron James in second place with a cumulative vote of 1.1 million, and the Lakers in third place with a cumulative vote of 1.08 million. The leading star is Kobe Bryant, and the fourth-placed Warriors star Stephen Curry has a total of 1.01 million votes.
James and Kobe are ranked second and third, which is completely reasonable. The former was the number one player in the league before Wang Zelin, and now his personal competitive strength is still ranked among the top three in the league. He has still not fallen from the peak, and his strength and reputation are adequate;
The latter was the league's first player before James. Although his personal competitive strength can only be maintained at the level of an ordinary All-Star, considering that this is the 21st season of Kobe's career, this is a player who has played for the NBA for 20 years. A veteran, he has won numerous honors in his career and is ranked 3rd. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him!
As for Curry, on the one hand, he benefited from the Golden State Warriors' impressive record over the past two years, and on the other hand, it was entirely due to Curry's own excellent strength.
If it weren't for Wang Zelin's intervention, 2015 and 2016 could be said to be the heyday of Curry's career. Regardless of personal strength, team record, and external reputation, Curry is infinitely close to the number one active player.
It's a pity that there is no bright future when there is beauty!
At the same time, Wang Zelin covered the sky with one hand, and Curry failed to shine as brightly as in his previous life.
I dare not say that. Curry is still the best defender of this era. Whether it is his baby face that attracts countless people or his unparalleled three-point shooting skills, the name Stephen Curry is destined. Will become one of the loudest names in basketball today.
Of course, what shocked the outside world was that the combined votes of James, Kobe, and Curry were equal to Wang Zelin.
To be precise, the total votes for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place were only 3.19 million, which was still 110,000 votes short of the 3.3 million for the first place Wang Zelin...
It’s incredible to think about it!
This also proves how terrifying Wang Zelin's current popularity is?
With the support of the previous three consecutive championships, plus this season's average of 40 points per game, 84 points in a single game, 58 consecutive games with over 30 points, and various triple-doubles and quadruple-doubles from time to time, Wang Zelin will score a single score in any game this season. If you put it on any All-Star player, it will be something that they will only praise for a long time.
What's more, it can become the masterpiece of his career.
And such games can be seen everywhere in Wang Zelin this season, which makes people feel how different the world is.
This year's All-Star Weekend was the only one with more than a million votes cast, including Wang Zelin, James, Kobe Bryant, and Curry. Among them, Wang Zelin was in his own category. After moving two categories further, there were only three people named Zhankoku.
The players ranked behind Zhankocu who received nearly 1 million votes include Durant with 987,479 votes, Davis with 985,149 votes, Lillard with 975,128 votes, Irving with 970,250 votes, and Irving with 963,110 votes. Antetokounmpo and Harden with 961,685 photos.
These brothers are ranked in the third gear.
After that, there are Westbrook with 899,024 photos, Rose with 854,836 photos, Jokic with 780,542 photos, Leonard with 630,766 photos, Wade with 514,866 photos... and a series of other players.
The list of players selected for the 2017 All-Star Game is as follows:
Eastern starters:
Backcourt: Rose, Irving
Frontcourt: James, Antetokounmpo, Davis
Eastern Substitute:
Raptors: Lowry and DeRozan
Celtics: Thomas
Bulls: Flash Wade
Pacers: Paul George
Wizards: John Wall
Cavaliers: DeMarcus Cousins
For the Western Conference, starting lineup:
Backcourt: Lillard, Curry
Frontcourt: Durant, Jokic, Wang Zelin
Western Conference Substitute:
Spurs: Leonard, Love
Mosaic Team: Harden
Thunder: Westbrook
Warriors: Thompson, Green
Jazz: Hayward
At this point, all the All-Star players have been revealed.
Among the 24 All-Star players in the Eastern and Western Conferences, the most influential one in the Eastern Conference is none other than the Cavaliers' Big Three of James, Irving and Cousins who were also selected for the All-Star Game, followed by the Bulls' Big Three of Rose, Davis and Way. Virtue.
In the West, the host Portland Trail Blazers also have three players selected for the All-Star Game this time, and they are also starters.
Lillard and Wang Zelin have been regular starters in the Western Conference All-Star Game in recent years. Naturally, their selection did not cause any splash.
On the contrary, Jokic, who was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time and was awarded the starting status, aroused a lot of public opinion.
You know, even Aldridge, the former starter of the original Trail Blazers, is not able to enter the Western Conference starting list every year. He is more often selected as a substitute for the All-Star Game.
And Jokic entered the starting lineup when he was selected for the first time. Why?
Do you think you are Kobe?
Or do you think you are Wang Zelin?
Spurs fans, in particular, were deeply indignant.
Without Jokic, Leonard should be selected for this year's Western Conference starting lineup.
After all, Leonard's performance this year is obvious to all. He is considered to be the third corner that broke the two-pole competition between Zandu and James at the small forward position this season.
There is no doubt that Kawhi Leonard has risen to the ranks of the league's super small forwards this year.
As a result, the starting honor that was about to be obtained was robbed by Jokic. How can Spurs fans remain loyal?
However, the Trail Blazers' official media also immediately stood up to support Jokic.
First of all, in terms of statistics, after playing against the Celtics, Jokic has averaged a near-triple-double of 17.2 points, 9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game this season, and his efficiency is quite amazing.
In the field of high-end statistics that are highly regarded by the media and experts today, he is second only to Wang Zelin among inside players.
Various past lives have also confirmed Jokic's dominance in the field of high-level statistics. This is a wizard with an extremely incredible basketball IQ, which is quite rare in NBA history.
It is no exaggeration to say that the previous MVP version of Jokic can be called the ultimate answer for inside players under the modern basketball system.
In comparison, although Leonard's average of about 25+5+4+2 per game is also very good, Jokic's 17+9+8 quasi-triple-double is not bad either. The former cannot completely surpass the latter.
In terms of record that Spurs fans are proud of, the Trail Blazers have long led all teams in the league. Although Jokic is the third-leading player in the team after Wang Zelin and Lillard, no one can deny that He is one of the core players of the Trail Blazers this season.
The third core of tactics is also the core!
The data level is similar, basically half a catty to eighty-two, and he has the advantage in terms of record. Finally, coupled with... the mysterious blessing from the vast number of Eastern fans, Jokic finally achieved a victory over Leonard in the All-Star voting during the second stage. made a comeback and successfully entered the Western Conference starting lineup.
The Blazers' official counterattack can be said to be well-founded and has been recognized by the vast majority of the people who eat melons.
But even so, Spurs fans are still aggrieved about this, and coupled with the fanning of several hostile fans, the situation has shown an intensifying trend.
Just when this online scolding battle was about to move to offline PK, a piece of jaw-dropping news suddenly swept across the league.
On the afternoon of the 18th, Wang Zelin took the Kendou sisters to Los Angeles for fun. After dinner, the three of them appeared at the Staples Center at 7 p.m.
Tonight, the Los Angeles Lakers will face the challenge of the Eastern Conference powerhouse Pacers at home. This is the last game before the All-Star Weekend for both sides.
Just as the players from both sides were thinking about what words they should use to show off in the pre-match trash-talking session later, many reporters spotted Wang Zelin who was attending the game today.
The sudden visit of the NBA's number one active player added a touch of splendor to the already star-studded Staples Center.
Half an hour before the start of the game, the TNT reporter, after interviewing the Pacers players, took the initiative to come to Wang Zelin with the idea of taking advantage of the popularity, and casually asked:
"Wang, I want to ask on behalf of the fans, who do you think will have the last laugh in tonight's game?"
"Hey, how did you know that I plan to participate in this year's dunk contest?"
"So you are also optimistic about the lake..."
While the reporter was speaking, something suddenly occurred to him. He quickly raised his head, widened his eyes, and looked straight at Wang Zelin.
"If I heard you correctly, what you just said...are you planning to participate in the dunk contest?"
The reporter couldn't believe his ears, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and asked again.
Wang Zelin shrugged, "Yes, buddy, you heard it right, I plan to sign up for the league to participate in this year's dunk contest."
"OMG!"
After receiving the confirmation, the reporter finally couldn't contain his inner ecstasy and couldn't help shouting.
At this time, the reporter had already foreseen what kind of earthquake would be caused in the entire league after he relayed Wang Zelin's interview. The upcoming All-Star Weekend would also be detonated in advance by Wang Zelin's words.
Sure enough, God rewards hard work and does not deceive me.
Today’s trip was not in vain!
