In front of the Trail Blazers bench.
"Wang, do you still want to play?" Coach Terry looked at Wang Zelin and asked.
At this time, Wang Zelin's score in this game has reached 80 points, which is the second highest score of his career. He is only one goal away from breaking Kobe Bryant's single-game scoring record of 81 points again, and breaking his previous single-game scoring record of 84 points. Only one three-pointer and one mid-range shot were missing, and there were still 27 seconds left.
In 27 seconds, as long as the operation is done properly, Wang Zelin will definitely have two chances to shoot. With his current explosive touch, he can hit two three-pointers to break his previous record of 84, which is absolutely guaranteed.
After Wang Zelin thought for a while, he shook his head slightly and refused to play again: "Forget it, there will be another chance in the future."
Brushing points is also a skill. Brushing points when you are behind in the game or when the scores between the two sides are almost the same. Even if others want to blame you, they can't find anything wrong with you.
But now that the Clippers have raised the white flag and declared surrender, it would be a bit too tasteless to go up and score points at this time. It is easy to be criticized after the game.
What's more, just like Wang Zelin said, there will be opportunities in the future.
Feeling the strong confidence in Wang Zelin's words, Coach Terry stopped trying to persuade him and replaced the main player with a wave of his hand.
Time ticked forward, and 27 seconds passed quickly. As an electronic buzz sounded, it was announced that the game was officially over.
144:125, the Trail Blazers defeated the Clippers by 19 points on the road. After this game, their regular season record reached 70 wins and 9 losses, officially completing the unprecedented feat of breaking through 70 wins in the regular season for two consecutive seasons.
The scores of the two sides flashed by, and a piece of shocking data soon appeared on the big screen:
80 points, 38 rebounds, 11 blocks, 8 assists and 5 steals!
At the same time, Wang Zelin's efficiency on this night was simply outrageous. He opened the door for outrageousness - outrageous!
Wang Zelin played 44 minutes in the game and made a total of 28 of 40 shots, including 15 of 22 three-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws. To say that he shot down the entire Clippers team tonight is completely unreasonable. Pass.
Such incredible efficiency can keep the fans boasting for a whole year, and in this game with the Clippers, Jokic's 15 assists were also a career high.
Jokic used practical actions to prove to the world that he is worthy of this year's All-Star starter. He got in based on his strength, not on the traffic of the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin.
At this moment, Staples Center was completely silent.
The face of every Clippers fan showed the same sadness and solemnity, as if they were attending a funeral - a funeral mourning for the Clippers!
The momentum they had when they started shouting "kick the Portlanders' butts" was completely opposite. They were really frightened by Wang Zelin's beating, but they were also beaten.
Not only in this game, I'm afraid they will never dare to make any provocative noise like the Trail Blazers in the future.
Next to him, Clippers owner Ballmer's eyes were dull and he couldn't recover for a long time, so much so that he didn't even notice that after the game, Clippers coach Doc Rivers' feet immediately went limp and he collapsed on the floor again. It seemed that the 27 seconds of waiting had used up the last bit of his strength.
Ask yourself, Rivers' coaching career has been around for some time. It has been 18 years since he coached the Orlando Magic in 1999.
In these nearly 20 years, he has seen countless talented super scorers, including Tracy McGrady during the Magic era, Iverson in the Finals + MVP season, Carter at his peak who battled Iverson in 7 playoff games, Kobe Bryant transformed from Flying Knight to Black Mamba, including later General Arenas, Flash Wade, and Little Emperor James...
These super scorers above are at least still in the human category. As long as Rivers and the team he leads work harder, they can defeat them.
But Wang Zelin is completely different from the group of people above. That guy gives no hope of defeating him.
In front of this guy, there are only two things you can do, either be tortured and wait for slow death; or lie down in advance and let him do whatever he wants on the court.
At the same time, Wang Zelin's fans in front of the TV were all rejoicing and looked at Wang Zelin in disbelief as he still maintained his shooting hand on the court.
The expressions on their faces are also quite unified:
incredible!
Incredible!
Unbelievable!
A big departure...
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the field. After a while, the voices gradually became unified, and it sounded like...
"MVP!!!"
"MVP!!!"
"MVP!!!"
All the fans of the home team defected.
The TNT TV station, which was broadcasting the Warriors' away game against the Jazz, urgently inserted footage of the game between the Trail Blazers and Clippers. Also inserted into the footage were ESPN, ABC, FSN and other major North American TV stations.
"Wang Zelin scored 80 points?" Kenny Smith exclaimed.
"You only said half of it, man. To be precise, it's 80 points, 38 rebounds, 11 blocks, 8 assists and 5 steals!" O'Neal reminded, but his eyes that kept flashing revealed how shocked he was at this moment.
It’s hard to imagine someone scoring 80+ points in a single game twice in a row. Are you playing 2K?
No, it is estimated that many people who play 2k will not be able to achieve such data!
In the NBA live broadcast room of Tianchao Tencent, the barrage was already filled with joy.
"The king is awesome!"
"Fuck! Fuck!"
"Your Majesty, this is going against heaven!"
In the Tencent NBA studio hall, Mina's eyes were a little sparkling.
Facing such a man, what woman can't help but be moved by him?
Ke Fan was filled with emotion: "On December 1 last year, the King scored 84 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals in a game against the Warriors. At that time, many people thought that such a game was worthy of the title. It has only happened once in decades, and even a great king would find it difficult to repeat such a miraculous night again!"
"But the king slapped everyone hard tonight with his strength, 80+ points in a single game, and he did it again! Even if God came in tonight's game, it was nothing more than that."
At the same time, Duan Ran was excited and couldn't help but admire: "The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it cannot be copied. But this concept does not hold true for the king. I think there is only one possibility, and that is: the king is the miracle itself. …”
Immediately after the game ended, the news of Wang Zelin's 80+ triple-double in a single game instantly hit the charts in major media, and included an inventory of the records broken by the Trail Blazers and Wang Zelin tonight:
Trail Blazers record
The regular season record exceeded 70 wins for two consecutive years, ranking first in history!
The team made 31 three-pointers in a single game, first in team history!
The team scored 53 points in the final quarter, first in team history!
Wang Zelin’s personal record:
Second highest scoring record in a single game: 80 points!
The fourth highest scoring record in a single game in history: 80 points (second only to Chamberlain's 100 points, his previous 84 points and Kobe's 81 points)!

NBA final quarter scoring record: 36 points!
Personal three-point record in a single game: 15!
Personal record for most three-point attempts in a single game: 27!

Wang Zelin has smashed all the records tonight, and it is natural to dominate the rankings.
Just open various video platforms and social platforms at home and abroad. Among the top 10 hot search items, at least half are about Wang Zelin.
"The King broke the record with 80 points in a single game!" 》
"With 15 three-pointers in a single game, the real active top marksman is in Portland!" 》
"With 36 points in the final quarter, Wang Zelin is the real king of the final quarter!"
…
…
Staples Center.
When Wang Zelin came off the field, he was still in a state of excitement.
His identity was in sharp contrast to the silence of the opposite Clippers team.
When Wang Zelin passed by Butler, he raised his chin at him: "Yo yo yo, isn't this the famous tough guy Butler? We haven't seen him for only two minutes, why are you acting like this?"
Butler's eyes were dull and dull. Even if he was provoked by Wang Zelin, he was in no mood to react at this time.
Given the current situation, how should he answer?
Seeing Butler's delay in responding, Wang Zelin shook his head.
Why is the toughest man in the NBA defeated so easily?
Really boring.
Life is so lonely as snow!
Then he turned around, followed the pace of the large army, and entered the players' tunnel.
After returning to the locker room, all the players came to their senses when they looked at the basketball in Wang Zelin's hand.
"80 points! That's 80 points!"
"King, you have made another big news."
"Oh my God, I met God again tonight! Wait, why did I use it?"
Everyone was suddenly startled, and several teammates had already rushed up, hugging Wang Zelin tightly, and then touched the basketball in his hand with one hand.
In the words of these guys, they also want to get a taste of Wang Zelin's magical touch tonight.
Wang Zelin had to cover his face with his hands. He couldn't believe that these weirdos in front of him were actually his teammates?
No matter what era it is, it’s still the same thing.
However, Wang Zelin still handed the ball to his teammates and asked them to touch it one by one.
…
…
After the game, the Trail Blazers' press conference was packed with reporters. So many people were crowded into a small space, and the air was filled with all kinds of strange smells. Mixed together, the taste was so sour. Cool.
Wang Zelin really wanted to angrily yell at the reporter, then quickly end the interview and leave this suffocating environment.
There was no way. On the night of 80+ triple-double, the reporters would definitely not let him go. The only good thing is that because the Clippers were not optimistic at the beginning of the season, this game was not scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, otherwise there would be more reporters on site. The key will be even worse.
At this time, beautiful reporters often suffer the most, because there are one or two dirty hands somewhere, and they will touch those 404 places when they are touched.
Several beautiful reporters exclaimed from time to time, which made Wang Zelin frown. If he hadn't taken the occasion into account, he would have said:
Let go of that girl and let me do it!
Ahem, let’s get back to the serious interview session.
"Wang, you scored 80 points tonight, only two points away from surpassing Kobe Bryant's 81 points. There were still 27 seconds left in the game. You clearly have a chance to break Kobe's record again, and even break your own previous record of 84. record, why did you choose to give up at that time?"
A reporter huddled at the front raised the biggest question of the night.
"The reason is very simple. I have always respected my opponents very much. Now that the Clippers have given up, I'm ready to kill again. At the same time, I don't want my data tonight to be mixed with water." Wang Zelin calmly replied.
This reporter seemed to be complimenting him, but he actually had evil intentions.
It has become a fact that Wang Zelin scored 80 points, and he will definitely be praised after the game, so the calmer he behaves now, the better.
Last time, he scored 84 points, surpassing Kobe Bryant's 81 points. While countless fans were crazy about him, some 60E also jumped out to accuse him of cheating on points in that game. He had the same purpose after all, which was to prove to everyone. One thing: Kobe's 81 points in a single game are more valuable than Wang Zelin's 84 points in a single game.
Just because of the topic of "Whose 80+ is more valuable?", Wang Mi and Ke Mi were having a huge quarrel at that time. If the two main protagonists hadn't stepped forward to stop it in time, I'm afraid this controversy would have started online. It moved offline and developed into real-person PK.
He accidentally got hit last time, and this time there was no way he would fall into the same pit again even if he was killed.
Are these unscrupulous media trying to make trouble again?
Beautiful thought!
Now Wang Zelin has no intention of showing off. Although scoring 80 points is indeed exciting, reason tells him that taking the next game seriously is the way to go.
Take Booker as an example. Why was he ridiculed by so many people when he scored 70 points some time ago? The reason is very simple. If you just swipe your data and show it off everywhere, isn't it obvious that you are attracting trouble to yourself?
No matter how you argue, when players score high points on the spot, they more or less have the mentality of collecting data. When you get a good data, the best way to deal with it is to share the credit with your teammates. No matter how high your emotional intelligence is, You can also praise your opponent tonight.
After all, the stronger the opponent you encounter, the more difficult and valuable it is for you to obtain this data.
The Trail Blazers are playing the Clippers tonight. The Clippers are not weak, and the Trail Blazers are still lagging behind in the first three quarters. Even if he scores points, the bad guys can't fault him. If he can be low-key and humble at this time, It will definitely make more people come forward to speak for him.
Then several reporters jumped out to dig a hole for Wang Zelin, but after a long time of planning, Wang Zelin didn't take the bait, so they had to give up the plan of provoking a dispute.
As a result, the reporters' questions began to become more serious, without as many twists and turns as before, and Wang Zelin was very cooperative with this.
After being busy for a while, Wang Zelin was finally freed from the suffocating environment. He returned to the locker room, took a shower and put on clean clothes. Only then was Wang Zelin contentedly getting on the train back to Portland with his teammates. airplane.
However, Wang Zelin, who patiently signed autographs for the flight attendants and teammates on the plane, didn’t know that his 80+ triple-double earthquake had just begun...
All basketball fans around the world joined this midnight carnival like crazy.
