(PS: I made a mistake in the previous chapter, it should be picture 1111, this chapter is chapter 1112)

Inside the Tencent studio.

"69 wins and 9 losses, aiming for 70 wins!"

The moment the game ended, Yang Yi said with emotion.

"Yes, with one win left, the Trail Blazers will set an unprecedented record - exceeding 70 wins in the regular season for two consecutive seasons! That's 70 wins!!!"

Next to him, Ke Fan's eyes were full of shock.

In the last match of the season between the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves, Wang Zelin scored a game-high 36 points and 25 rebounds in just 29 minutes, plus 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

One step closer to averaging 20 plus rebounds per game this season!

The entire domestic basketball circle is discussing the same topic, that is, whether Wang Zelin can create a miracle of averaging 40+20 per game in the season!

You must know that Jordan's most scoring season was when he averaged just over 37 points per game. Since the merger of the NBA and ABA, no one has been able to push the scoring average to 40 points per game.

Today, Wang Zelin averages 40 points per game and also averages 20 rebounds per game...

Today's Internet is so developed that information spreads far faster than in any previous era. Because of this, people can no longer suppress the shock when looking at the heavy data on the screen, and go crazy on major social media platforms. Venting his excitement at the moment.

Soon, someone began to list the various records Wang Zelin set after entering the NBA on the Internet.

This is only his fifth season. How many records does he have to break before he gives up?

You must know that Wang Zelin has just debuted for less than five years, but the records he has set have not been achieved even by some players who have been selected to the NBA!

There are those who praise and those who belittle.

For any superstar, fans and anti-fans are often divided equally.

Just as Wang Zelin continued to set various records in the NBA, many ancient fans jumped out one after another, because in the eyes of this group of people, Wang Zelin could never compare to Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell. , Magician and Big Bird, these legendary celebrities

, watching Wang Zelin continue to succeed is more uncomfortable than all the failures they have encountered in their lives.

Don't think that this kind of thing doesn't exist. There really is a type of people in this world who never look down on the good things of others.

Therefore, all the hopes of these people are pinned on the Los Angeles Clippers.

Because the Trail Blazers' first opponent in the last four games of the regular season is the Clippers' Big Three that has just formed Rajon Rondo + Jimmy Butler + Blake Griffin.

Because the Clippers' record at the beginning of the season was too bad, even if they formed the Big Three after the All-Stars and their combat effectiveness suddenly improved, it is still very difficult for the Clippers to catch up with the strong teams in the Wild West.

Up to now, the regular season has entered the countdown stage, and they are still in ninth place in the Western Conference. In order to seize a spot in the playoffs, the Clippers will definitely do their best in the remaining games.

Even though everyone knows that the Blazers will win 70 games, if the Blazers can win 70 games one game later, it will definitely be something worth celebrating for the ancient fans. .

The Clippers' recent sprint momentum has been very vigorous. Since the Jazz lost to the Trail Blazers, their regular season record has been equal to the Jazz. It was only because they were at a disadvantage in the first half of the season that they had to settle for ninth place.

If they can defeat the Trail Blazers in the next game, it will not only greatly boost the Clippers' morale, but also strengthen their determination to hit the playoffs.

For the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin will naturally not be timid because of the hot state of the Clippers' Big Three. On the contrary, he is also in an exciting state at this time, and he does not want to miss the opportunity to make history.



At the same time, Oracle Arena.

The Golden State Warriors face the Eastern Conference powerhouse Washington Wizards at home.

After the opening, Thompson and Curry each hit three-pointers, and the Warriors led 6:0. The Wizards quickly responded with double shots, and Bill scored with a dunk. Wall completed 2+1, and Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers. The Warriors once again widened the point difference.

Subsequently, Gortat succeeded in consecutive inside attacks, and the Wizards trailed the Warriors 16:18 and entered a timeout.

Curry hit another three-pointer after the timeout, and Bill responded with two three-pointers. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Wizards 35:30.

In the second quarter, Clark and Iguodala hit three-pointers, and the Warriors continued to widen the point difference at 45:34.

In the second half of the second quarter, Bogdanovic hit a three-pointer, and the Wizards tied the score at 53:55. At the critical moment, Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference widened again, and then Curry again It was two consecutive layups.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Wizards 67:57.

Judging from the first two quarters, the Wizards and the substitute lineup performed very well. They actually outplayed the Warriors, who were obviously stronger than them, like thunder from the sky stirring up fire on the earth.

Suddenly, Wizards fans seemed to see the team's hope of ending their losing streak.

However, what they didn't notice was Warriors coach Kerr's confident smile when he came off the court, because Kerr never regarded the Wizards as an opponent in his heart.

Leaving aside the Western side for now, the only ones worthy of his attention in the Eastern side are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls.

In his opinion, the other teams are just guys who study with the prince.

Coming back from the halftime break and entering the second half, the game progressed just as Cole expected.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Thompson, who had only 7 points in the half, hit consecutive three-pointers. Wizards general Porter scored 8 points in a row with sudden shots.

At 9 minutes and 09 seconds, Curry easily hit a three-pointer from the right side at 45 degrees. This was his 300th three-pointer this season. This was the second time in his career that he made three-pointers in a single season. Reached 300.

The entire Oracle Arena suddenly burst into cheers, making the Wizards players feel deep pressure.

At 9 minutes and 43 seconds into this quarter, Thompson hit another three-pointer and the Warriors led the Wizards 90:70.

Although Porter made a mid-range shot and added a three-pointer, the Wizards once again narrowed the point difference, but Curry continued to perform well, and he contributed another 12 points in the second half of the quarter.

After three quarters, Curry had scored 37 points and 8 assists, and the Warriors led the Wizards 106:88.

The familiar Yong San crazy!

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans at Oracle Arena, the Splash Brothers set off a wave of momentum in the third quarter, directly killing the suspense of the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Wizards 139:115 at home. While the Warriors continued their winning streak, they sent the Wizards to their third consecutive defeat.

In this campaign, Curry scored 42 points and 8 assists on 9 of 14 three-pointers, Thompson 23 points, Green 11 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists, Livingston 17 points and 7 rebounds, David West and Mai Ji scored 10 points each.

For the Wizards, Wall had 15 points and 11 assists, Beal had 20 points and 5 assists, Morris and Porter had 13 points each, and Bogdanovic had 20 points.

Even though Durant was exempted from the game due to injury and the Warriors lost one of their generals, the Wizards still couldn't escape defeat in the face of absolute strength.

After this game, the Warriors' record reached 64 wins and 14 losses. Although there is still a big gap between them and the Trail Blazers, judging from the current trend, they basically have no chance of overtaking the Trail Blazers. However, the 64-win record still brings to the world Deeply shocked.

You know, the Warriors still have 4 games left, and they have been missing Durant from mid-March to now, otherwise their record is likely to be better.

Now that the regular horse racing is about to end, gradually the winners of various awards can be roughly guessed.

For example, Wang Zelin has basically won the scoring, rebounding and blocking titles.

Wang Zelin is far ahead of the others with averages of 40.3 points, 19.7 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game. There is no situation that would cause him to lose these three honors.

There is also the assists king, which is basically determined to be Mosaic team star James Harden. This season Harden averaged 29.5 points, 11.2 assists, and 8.1 rebounds per game. He is worthy of being regarded by countless fans as the strongest combo player in history.

This is a man who can switch between scoring and assists at will!

Of course, the one who gets the most attention is naturally the winner of the MVP.

The biggest hope now is naturally Wang Zelin. His average data per game and team record are far ahead of all other opponents, and he has been in the leading position from the beginning of the season until the end of the regular season.

Another favorable contender is Russell Westbrook. This season, Westbrook averaged a triple-double of 31+10+10 per game, which is also incredible. In addition, he led the team to the playoffs with a single core. This is A season in which Westbrook's personal heroism was demonstrated to the extreme.

Don't tell me, Lao Mi really just sticks to personal heroism. Why does he need data, feelings, and record this season? Well, the record has held him back a little, but it doesn't matter. It does not prevent him from ranking second in the MVP prediction list for a long time.

However, considering that in the regular season games between the Trail Blazers and the Thunder, Westbrook was beaten by Wang Zelin in terms of statistics and team leadership ability. In the direct dialogue between the two, Wang Zelin came to the end every time.

Your Westbrook average of a triple-double per game is indeed terrifying, but you can’t stand up to Wang Zelin’s four-double!

In the field of all-around statistics that Westbrook is proud of, he was also crushed by Wang Zelin, which made Westbrook a natural competitor when competing with Wang Zelin for MVP.

There are many factors that need to be considered in MVP selection. Data and record are of course important, but the battles between the MVP favorites are also worth referring to.

Obviously, whether it is the former or the latter, Westbrook lost to Wang Zelin.

Therefore, even though Westbrook is still ranked in the top two of many authoritative media MVP prediction lists by virtue of his miracle of averaging a triple-double this season, in the minds of many media and fans, Westbrook has already withdrawn from the MVP competition.

There is no way, whoever asked him to face Wang Zelin was defeated by the latter. You can't just praise him as the MVP just because he broke into a triple-double. This is obviously unreasonable.

Don’t forget, due to Wang Zelin’s interference in this time and space, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, the two current super giants, have not yet won the MVP trophy.

In terms of strength, Curry and Durant are definitely better than Westbrook. This is basically the consensus of the league.

Therefore, seeing Curry continue to perform brilliantly during Durant's absence, many media had a change of heart and began to build crazy momentum for Curry to compete for MVP.

In terms of record, the Warriors' 64 wins in the regular season also amazed the league.

In terms of strength, Curry has basically secured his position as the number one three-point shooter and number one point guard in active service, and his performance in the past few seasons has also been phenomenal. The three-point storm created by Curry and the Warriors Taking the league by storm.

As long as Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers are knocked down this season, Curry and the Warriors are bound to create their own era.

Previous lives have proven that the emergence of Curry, an epoch-making player, personally created a prosperous era of small ball that will be remembered by history!

In the era when the Warriors are dominating the world, three-pointers have basically become a necessary regular tactic for every team, and some Magic Ball teams regard it as the team's sure-fire skill.

From the beginning of the regular season to the present, the media have been crazily trumpeting Westbrook's miracle of averaging a triple-double per game, trying to break Wang Zelin's monopoly on the highest honor of regular season MVP for 4 consecutive seasons.

As the countdown to the regular season entered, they reluctantly discovered that Westbrook was really a bit stuck in front of Wang Zelin, which made them feel like they couldn't even support him.

Of course, this is by no means to say that Westbrook is not strong. Westbrook is very strong, but Wang Zelin on the opposite side is even more perverted.

After understanding the fact that it was difficult to promote Westbrook to the top position, the media immediately turned their guns and decisively abandoned Westbrook and began to praise Curry instead.

If one weapon doesn't work, then use another one.

There is also Harden. Harden's statistics this year are absolutely superb. In his peak period, the Beard averaged a quasi-triple-double of 29+11+8 per game this season. He is impeccable in every aspect.

But the problem is that the position he is in now is a bit awkward, and he feels a bit inadequate compared to the superiors, but more than adequate compared to the inferiors.

In terms of the explosiveness of the data, Wang Zelin, who averaged nearly 40+20 points per game, and Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double in the season of 30+10+10 points per game, basically dominated him.

In terms of the height that the team has reached, the Trail Blazers have been talking about leading since the beginning of the season. The Warriors and Spurs are also stronger than Mosaic, and Harden suffered another loss.

These two points are still very troublesome. After all, the competition for regular season MVP depends not only on personal data, but the team's record is also very important.

If Harden hadn't led the Mosaic team to break through their inner demons a while ago, scoring 56 points in a single game to defeat the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin, I'm afraid not many people would have put him in the discussion for MVP competition.

In addition, Leonard of the Spurs, Thomas of the Celtics, Davis of the Bulls, and James of the Cavaliers also have considerable influence in the battle for honors in the countdown to the regular season. heat.

But they all have their own shortcomings. Leonard's data level is not high enough, and he is far behind data maniacs such as Wang Zelin, Westbrook, and Harden.

As for Thomas, Davis and James, although the Celtics, Bulls and Cavaliers led by these three brothers have basically formed a three-point world pattern in the East, but looking at the league, when they are compared with the top teams in the West, Still seems lacking in confidence.

Therefore, the four of them currently only have a certain degree of popularity and do not have real competitiveness.
