NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 420 Devil\'s West, Duncan\'s Green
If the first half is over, there is still a suspense in the game. Then at the end of the third quarter, there is no more **** suspense.
The heights a team can achieve is created by everyone working together. But sometimes, there are always some unreasonable existences that can shock the world.
These beings are called "Superstars!"
That's what happened to Chris Paul tonight.
While delivering 16 assists, Paul made 5 of 7 three-pointers and scored 31 points, which was also the highest score among all players tonight.
In the end, the Clippers beat the Blazers by 13 points at 118:105. The Clippers finally pulled a game back against the Blazers.
Again, the Blazers played normally in this game, but someone from the Clippers broke out, and none of them broke out tonight!
"Hey, it's finally my turn to win!"
After the game, I hugged the players from both sides. Griffin approached Wang Zelin and said with a smile.
"Che, cherish it, you will have this chance."
Wang Zelin immediately raised his middle finger.
I didn't say, a man's friendship is sometimes that simple. Although there have been some small frictions before, after just one drink, things will improve, and even more, they will become friends.
The two are not at the level of making good friends at present, but they are much better than the previous slight hostility, and they can be called friends.
Besides, Griffin's performance just now was also outstanding. If Paul is the first contributor to the team's victory, then Griffin can definitely be ranked second.
In this game, Griffin made 8 of 15 shots, with a 50% hit rate and a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds at the basket, which was better than Aldridge's performance.
The pioneers are here.
Wang Zelin played stably as always, scoring 25 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the whole game, but unfortunately it ended up being an empty cut.
The other two pillars of the Trail Blazers, Aldridge scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, Lillard scored 17 points and 9 assists, and the three combined scored 62 points. The performance is not bad.
Losing this game can only be regarded as bad luck.
At the post-match press conference, Terry Stotts took all the responsibility and admitted that he underestimated Paul's offense.
After losing the game, everyone was not interested in going outside to play or have fun, so they returned to Portland on a chartered flight overnight.
After a short rest, on February 21st, the Blazers faced the challenge of the San Antonio Spurs at home.
Due to Westbrook's surgery some time ago, the Thunder's overall strength inevitably declined in the absence of a general, and the same was true for the record.
On the 20th, that is, last night, the Spurs challenged the Clippers on the field, and finally, with the outstanding performance of Belinelli and Danny Green, the two major three-pointers combined for 6 of 12 three-pointers, coupled with the rock-solid Tim on the inside. Duncan scored 19 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in a quasi-triple-double, and the Spurs finally defeated the Clippers 113:103.
So far, the Spurs' regular-season record has become 41 wins and 15 losses, successfully surpassing the 40 wins and 14 losses of the Oklahoma City Thunder, ranking second in the Western Conference and second in the league.
In the game against the Blazers on the 21st, the Spurs were fighting back-to-back. I thought that the Blazers, who had a good location, could easily win, but never thought that the Spurs had the last laugh.
In this game, the two sides fought back and forth. At the last moment of the fierce battle, your inner force hit a three-pointer in 24.9 seconds on the spot, and the difference was overtaken by 2 points.
At the last moment, the Trail Blazers, who had advanced a goal, were forced to foul. Diao made 2 of 2 free throws, and the game lost its suspense.
The Spurs, who won this back-to-back game, suddenly increased their record to 42 wins, and the position of the league's No. 1 throne seems to be close at hand.
As the season progresses, the two young teams, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Indiana Pacers, who were unstoppable at the beginning of the season, have fallen behind. Although the record of 39 wins is still ranked first in the East, but in the league's 30 team rankings, it has long been unable to enter the top three, and can only condescend to fourth.
Thinking about it is right. The only 3 teams in the league with 40+ wins are all clustered in the West. It is conceivable, how strong is the involution in the West?
Not to mention, the Los Angeles Clippers have soared to 38 wins after winning the Blazers two days ago, and they are only one game away from the Pacers.
It's no wonder that there have been some rumors that devalue the East recently:
"This year's Western Championship = Championship!"
As soon as these words came out, thousands of waves were instantly shocked!
Pacers fans, Heat fans, and even Knicks fans couldn't help but come in and shout a few words.
But when they found out that the team with the best record in the East didn't even rank in the top 3 in the West, and they were about to be overtaken by the Clippers behind them, they wanted to refute it, but they didn't know what reason to find.
Don't look at people saying that winning the regular season championship does not guarantee 100% winning the NBA championship that year.
But the team that really won the regular season championship will eventually have some natural advantages when playing other teams in the playoffs.
Just talking about the psychological pressure of the two sides, when the team ranked eighth in the division meets the first place in the division, you don't have to think about it, the pressure must be Shanda!
……
……
"Two-game losing streak! The Portland miracle has come to an end!"
"East boy's magic power seems to have bottomed out!"
"San Antonio ~ The true king of the league!"
"..."
After the two-game losing streak, the Trail Blazers unexpectedly encountered frantic criticism from a number of outside media and professional commentators.
How high they once stood, how miserable it would be when they really wanted to fall!
Of course ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Trail Blazers are still ranked first in the league, and they can't talk about falling directly from the peak to the top of the mountain, let alone being shattered.
However, the recent performance of the Spurs has truly amazed countless people. This team with the largest average age in the league fully interprets that sentence:
"You don't necessarily win if you run fast. Success is success if you don't fall!"
Obviously, the Spurs, who are accustomed to following in their footsteps, may be aiming for the regular season championship again based on the current momentum!
The record of 44 wins and 10 losses does not seem to be able to guarantee the Blazers' regular season championship dream. As long as they are not careful, the Spurs behind them are very likely to achieve the lead.
This is not just talking.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the media have changed their indifference towards the Spurs in the past, and have begun to increase their efforts to spread the Spurs game.
Not to mention, the topic of the Spurs was chatting, and people started to talk about a hot topic about Egg Pain last year:
Hire a private detective to follow his wife and find out that he is suspected of being cuckolded? !
Ahem, I don't think Duncan would have imagined that he would sit on the pot at home and come from the sky. He really wanted to ask back, how busy are you guys?
