NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 241

Today is April 18, the last game day of the 2012-2013 season, the Trail Blazers will host the Golden State Warriors at home.

The ranking of the Eastern Conference has been determined, and the Miami Heat locked the regular season championship ahead of schedule with 65 wins and 16 losses without playing a game, which has already broken the Heat's best record in the regular season in team history.

The opponent is the weak Orlando Magic. In the last game, James will rest for the playoffs. The Heat will be led by Wade, who has just returned from injury.

The New York Knicks 54-26 seal the Eastern Conference second and league…

The overall pattern of the West being strong and the East being weak is still the same. Except the Heat are desperately raising the upper limit, the Knicks, the second in the East, are only sixth in the West, because the Nuggets, the fifth in the West, have a record of 55 wins.

The East can be divided into three worlds. The first world is the Miami Heat, the third world is the New York Knicks, and the third world is the top 6. It is unimaginable that the huge East has nothing but the Heat and the Knicks. Which team has more than 50 wins.

The Pacers and Nets both have 49 wins, but the former ranks third with a slight advantage. The Bulls and Eagles have 44 wins and 43 wins respectively. The two teams have not played a game yet, but no matter what. Win or lose, they can't threaten the 4 teams in the top half of the Eastern Conference.

The seventh-place Celtics and the eighth-place Bucks have a record of 41 wins and 40 losses and 38 wins and 44 losses, respectively. It is difficult to change the rankings.

The rankings in the East have been determined, and the situation in the West has gradually become clear. Except for individual teams, there may be some changes.

The first was the Thunder, which secured the Western Conference championship with 61 wins and 21 losses, followed by the Spurs with 59 wins and 23 losses. The Nuggets, Grizzlies, Warriors and Mosaic ranked fifth to eighth were basically unchanged.

There are only two teams left, the Clippers and the Trail Blazers, which may change at the last minute.

On the 18th, there were 15 regular-season games to be played in the league, including the Trail Blazers and the Clippers. The game time for both teams was set at 6:30. The Clippers' opponent was the Kings.

Both teams are 57 wins and 24 losses, if according to the current ranking, the first round opponent of the Blazers playoffs is the Denver Nuggets, and the opponent of the Clippers is the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are notoriously difficult to deal with, and it is not ruled out that the Clippers want to take the initiative to give up the third place in the West.

Trailblazer Conference Room.

At the end of the meeting, Tristotts solemnly said: "I will now announce the starting roster for the night's game: PG Damien Lillard, SG Connet Lee, SF Will Barton, PF Luke Babbitt , C Wang Zelin..."

"Coach, tonight we..."

Terry Stotts glanced at Aldridge, and when he saw the latter's expression as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Yes, the victory in this game is irrelevant.

On the contrary, if I win, I might be caught by the Clippers, so I decided to give up the game strategically, give the victory to the Warriors, and then determine the team's opponent in the first round of the playoffs! "

clap clap!

With a flick of the stick, the Blazers players saw the opponent Terry Stotts knocked down for the team.

Denver Nuggets!

The regular season Blazers and Nuggets battle became 3:1. Compared with the Grizzlies, the coaching staff is more willing to see the team's first-round opponent is the Nuggets.

"Everyone has no opinion!"

"No!"

"agree completely!"

Seeing that everyone understood their good intentions, Terry Stotts and David Vanderpool looked at each other and smiled with relief: "Then everyone go down and prepare for our final battle!"

During the pre-match warm-up session, Wang Zelin received bad news.

Just now, with Kobe Bryant resting, Howard scored 16 points, 20 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 steals and 2 assists against the Houston Mosaic team led by his future good partner James Harden. Sol scored a triple-double of 17 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Lakers to a 99:95 curtain call.

With this battle, Dwight Howard's total rebounds this season came to 948, and the number of rebounds per game was rounded to 12.5.

Wang Zelin's original goal was to win the season's rebounding championship in the next four games, but due to Howard's outbreak, the difficulty has skyrocketed.

After playing with the Warriors, Wang Zelin's attendance this season is also 76 games, and his total rebounds are 725. Even if he gets 16 rebounds in this game, he can't overtake Howard.

Unless he gets 24 rebounds tonight, that can achieve the go-ahead.

For the outside world, the battle for the rebounding king has come to a heated stage. Not only the fans of the Lakers and the Blazers, but also the domestic fans and the fans of the United States are also watching this game all the time.

After all, the United States is a world-recognized basketball kingdom. In NBA history, except for a few foreign players such as Olajuwon and Uncle Mu Mutombo, the honor of rebounding king has always been monopolized by local players in the United States.

Even if Olajuwon was the rebounding queen from 1988 to 1989 and 1989 to 1990, he officially joined the United States in 1993.

In this way, there are very few foreign players who have won the rebounding championship.

It seemed like a fantasy in the past for an Asian to win the NBA rebounding championship, even less likely than a white player.

Now, this "unprecedented" thing is very likely to become a reality.

24 rebounds in a single game, is that difficult?

Of course it's hard!

But that's on ordinary players. If the target is Wang Zelin... Even Howard, who is currently in the lead, is difficult to guarantee.

No. 36 of the Blazers has scored 20+ rebounds in a single game more than once, and even 30+ rebounds. Everyone knows that Wang Zelin will be crazy tonight, but even no one can know. How crazy can it be.

"Who do you think will win between Wang and Dwight?"

A veteran fan, V, asked on Twitter.

"It's hard to say, the rebounds per game between the two are extremely close at present, and Dwight only leads by two decimal places, which is not enough to guarantee his rebounding king!"

"Is Wang going to get 24 rebounds? This is crazy! Sorry, I need to declare that the crazy person is me. I have a hunch that Wang can really do such a thing..."

"Dude upstairs, I agree with your hunch very much. I thought Howard had already locked the rebounding champion of the season, but I didn't expect that I was still too young."

"Remember that saying, the NBA is the land of miracles! I'm already desperate to see miracles happen!"

"It's so interesting, I didn't expect the competition for the rebounding champion this year to be even higher than the scoring champion!"

Trail Blazers.

"Wang, have you seen the news outside? King of rebounds! There are a lot of people who think you can kill Howard."

Matthews walked over with the newspaper.

"It's not that easy, I'm the one behind."

Having said that, the teammates can feel the strong self-confidence in Wang Zelin.

"Wang, let go and do what you want to do, we will all support you!" Aldridge said.

"That's right, you are the man most worthy of the honor of the rebounding king. That giant baby Howard is no longer a superman!"

"I'm going to break my three-point record tonight, Wang, you'll help me, right!" Lillard was silent for a while, then suddenly said this.

"necessary!"

After a long time, Wang Zelin shrugged after reading the newspaper. He could only thank his teammates for their kindness.

The first Asian rebounder?

It's really exciting to think about it!

at the same time.

In the only five-star hotel in Portland, No. 30 of the Warriors also said to himself: "The battle for the rebounding king? It's boring, anyway, I just want to win!"

In China, a tiger forum.

"What plane is Terry Stotts doing? Ader, Batum and Matthews announced that they would not play? Then fight a der!"

When the Blazers' 12-man roster for this game was released, it caused dissatisfaction among some fans and began to complain.

"The big brother above, you have to learn to think in a different position. No team in the West wants to meet the Grizzlies in the first round. If he wins the game, Wang Zelin is likely to challenge the black and white bears in the first round. , and lost the game, Wang Zelin's opponent became the plateau team; the coaching staff must have their own considerations for this arrangement."

Fans who understand the doorway inside stood up and said, because they saw the strategy of the Trail Blazers, giving up a regular season can not only relax the main players, but also face a handy team in the first round of the playoffs, Why not do it!

"Don't talk about this. Next, I only hope that the king can win the rebounding king, and slap those who think that the center of the Celestial Dynasty can only rely on height!"

"This must be supported! A mere 24 rebounds, with the ability of the king, as long as he is willing, there is still a great hope to get it."

"However, you still have to be careful with the Warriors. If the opposing shooter group breaks out and it rains three points, rebounding is expected to become an extravagant hope."

"There's nothing wrong with this. The Warriors' Curry and Klay Thompson are the first and second on the major three-pointers list this season. In addition to their excellent three-point ability, these two guys are also famous for making waves. Throw a touch, tsk tsk tsk..."

Soon, someone immediately replied to this post: "If the Warriors' shooter group suddenly collectively pays tribute to the volute, then Wang Zelin will be overwhelmed!"

"The volutes are already out early, young man, I advise you to use the mouse tail juice!"

Since then, the building has been completely crooked, and the message board is full of these words.

in a private mansion in Los Angeles.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Who is thinking of me?

Kobe just went out when a cool breeze hit him, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Stay, what's wrong with you?"

On the side, the second daughter Gianna asked hurriedly, slandering in her heart: Dad, is it because he failed to enter the playoffs, his body is out of anger!

"It's okay, come on Jaina."

Kobe, who showed a cold face to the outside world, grinned and showed a bright smile, and carried his second daughter, who had just turned 7 years old, on his private jet.

Tonight is the key battle of the Celestial Boys, which not only attracted many media and fans, but also many NBA players including Kobe Bryant, all chose to go to the Rose Garden Arena, looking forward to the birth of a miracle.

Originally Kobe also called his wife Vanessa and two other daughters, but Vanessa was not interested in Wang Zelin's battle for the rebounding king.

If you have that time, why don't you go shopping for a while!

Therefore, in the end, Kobe only brought Gianna, who likes basketball the most among his three daughters, to the Rose Garden Arena together.

Home locker room.

"Wang, if you win the rebounding king, you have to treat yourself!"

"Zelin, come on, me, your dad and Lena are all silently supporting you on the sidelines!"

"Wang, if you really get the rebounding king, I don't mind letting you **** bath water..."

After echoing the blessings of his teammates and relatives, Wang Zelin turned on his mobile phone and received a message from Scarlett.

Xiaolanghoof, I really thought I was Du Xiaoshuai!

However, whenever Wang Zelin thinks of Scarlett's figure, he still can't help his blood boil: What kind of bath water to drink, I'm the best!

The Warriors are still the same, the formation is the same as before: PG Stephen Curry, SG Klay Thompson, SF Harrison Barnes, PF David Lee, C is the same dog...

Tonight will be broadcast live by TNT, the curtain call between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors. Although it is not a full-meter live broadcast, the TNT executives still sent their king bombing combination ~ Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

VIP box in the Rose Garden.

Several executives from TNT were watching the game.

Before the game started, the Blazers fans were "infuriated", which was extremely shocking.

"It really underestimated the popularity of the Blazers and Warriors. Next season, you can consider giving them a few more live broadcasts."

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, the middle-aged white man sitting in the center had a plan in his heart.

Up to now, no one may have thought that the always taciturn Trail Blazers, just because of the arrival of a Chinese player, has completely become popular, and it is a super high-level team.

There is also the Golden State Warriors. After a lapse of five seasons, they have re-established a new core of team building, and then returned to the playoffs. Not only is their record better than the 42 wins and 40 wins of the Golden State Bandit, but also suddenly Finished seventh.

The star Stephen Curry, with a baby face that everyone loves, flowers blooms, and cars see... , has attracted a lot of fans this season under the condition of being handsome and powerful, just like a rising star at the No. 1 position.

By the way, the highlight of this game, UU reading www.uukanshu.com In addition to the battle between Wang Zelin and Howard for the scoring title, there is also a major point to watch is whether Curry can surpass Ray Allen and create a single-season three-pointer in the NBA. A new record for the total.

If it really surpasses Ray Allen after this game, it will be more conducive to Curry to establish the status of the active top scorer.

After the game started, both teams understood each other's intentions, each played their own way, without interfering with each other.

The Trail Blazers were determined to help Wang Zelin compete for the rebounding championship. From Lillard to Luke Babbitt, they all threw a lot of threes from the outside, scrambled to strike iron, and wanted to "swipe" Wang Zelin.

For this kind of behavior, many people call it shameful.

But no matter how much the Blazers are, everyone is enjoying it.

"Are the opponents crazy? Do they still want to win!" Bo Gte, who had only 1 rebound in the half, complained loudly in the locker room.

"You haven't seen it yet? The Blazers didn't want to win at all, they made it clear and then sent..."

Curry rolled his eyes at his teammates and was speechless.
