NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 638 The hot man who was missed in the poll
After some relief, Cousins finally regained his confidence, full of fighting spirit, and wanted to defeat Wang Zelin in the next duel with the Blazers.
James was relieved after seeing his little brother recovering.
Actually, not to mention Cousins, even he himself was taken aback by Wang Zelin's performance.
If he is also clear, before he fails to break out of the East, no matter how bad Wang Zelin's performance is, it will not have much impact on himself.
The first person in the league is not so easy to sit!
James can have his current status, mainly relying on four MVPs and two championships!
If Wang Zelin wants to surpass James in a substantial sense, he still needs to accumulate further honors.
Therefore, James took the initiative to congratulate Wang Zelin in front of the media for his great feat as soon as he knew the news.
All I can say is that Zhan Chao is a good man!
However, the fact that James and Wang Zelin, who are the parties involved, can remain rational, does not mean that many people on the Internet think so.
Behind this, it is naturally inseparable from the media's fueling.
Early in the morning on the 25th, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland from San Francisco and refused numerous media interviews. Wang Zelin and his teammates concentrated on preparing for the back-to-back game tonight.
Although it was at home and the opponent was a relatively average Jazz, they were not tempted by the sweet words on the Internet, and they still maintained a focused attitude to deal with tonight's game.
On the Internet, the discussion about whether Wang Zelin surpassed James to become the first player in the league has intensified.
Indirect TV also complied with the fans' thoughts and specially held a noon symposium on this topic.
And the theme of this symposium is who Wang Zelin and James are the first active players, and the current historical ranking of the two.
"Yesterday's game was definitely the most exciting game I've seen this season so far!"
"Curry on the Warriors side went all out to bargain 48 points, Thompson also scored 24 points, and the Splash Brothers colleges scored 72 points; and Wang Zelin's side broke out with all his strength, and finally succeeded in one person and two guns!"
As the host of the scene, Barkley was full of emotion after watching the highlights of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors with all the guests.
"I suggest that the teams in the league aiming to win the championship should take advantage of this summer to stock up on centers, because without the support of centers, Wang Zelin can do whatever he wants in the interior!"
"The Warriors' 3-point game is really good, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the most talented perimeter duo I've ever seen, but it doesn't work against Wang, because he once again proved to the world that **** Dominate the game at the basket!"
O'Neal took over what Barkley said and continued.
Through this game, Wang Zelin once again proved that the ancient centers have not been completely forgotten by history. Even if they don't shoot three-pointers, they can still dominate the game with their dominance around the basket, and finally dominate the game!
As soon as they came up, the two couldn't help but compliment Wang Zelin, so Reggie Miller rolled his eyes next to him, as if saying, Hey guys, don't forget today's theme.
"Stephen is indeed a very good player, and he has the potential to become the number one three-point shooter in history when he retires, but I still think that he is not enough to be in the top three in the league, because the people ahead of him are , at least there are LeBron, Wang and KD."
Reggie Miller quickly brought the topic to James, another protagonist of today.
"Yes, LeBron and Wang are undoubtedly the two strongest players in the league today. In fact, since the Blazers won the championship last season, there have been endless topics about Wang surpassing LeBron. I want to ask here, everyone has Have you heard of Warriors coach Kerr's postgame interview?"
Kenny Smith, who was the last to speak, successfully brought the topic back on track under the constant instructions of the on-site director.
Then, without waiting for everyone to answer, he asked himself: "LeBron is undoubtedly the most dominant superstar in any era, and to belittle LeBron is to belittle the modern league!"
"So your opinion is..."
"That's right, I think Wang has not finished surpassing LeBron at present. It may be possible in the future, but at least this is the case this season."
"Even if he achieves two consecutive championships this year?"
"Yes, even if Wang wins two consecutive championships, this is not enough to prove that he has completely surpassed LeBron!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith are worthy of their golden partners. The singing and singing quickly made the topic discussion in the live broadcast room heated, and also infected the fans of various teams who were watching the live broadcast.
After some discussion, neither of them could convince the other, and they all turned their attention to O'Neal and Reggie Miller.
The camera turned.
Some people expressed their views: "The position of the first person in the league should not only be based on strength, but also honor. Wang is only in his third season, and his honor structure is not enough to cause LeBron. What an impact."
"Let's call him the first person now, it's still a little early!"
Reggie Miller offered a different point of view.
Finally, the camera shot to O'Neal, who was sitting in the second position on the right.
However, O'Neill, who has always been recognized by the outside world as a loyal supporter of Wang Zelin, unexpectedly gave an answer that exceeded everyone's expectations.
"I agree with Kenny and Reggie's point of view. As Reggie said, the first person in the league should not only focus on strength, but also on the honor. What's more, at the level of personal strength, LeBron is still the strongest in the league. , even if it is Wang, at most it is only going hand in hand with him. As for the championship, Wang is also one less LeBron. "
"Perhaps, we can wait until the Trail Blazers really defend their title this year, and then it's not too late to compare the two."
Barkley refuted O'Neal's point of view: "Shaquille, you should look at the defensive treatment of Wang Zelin by various teams in the league now. It is no worse than you were back then. Is there any star in the league that is valued by so many teams as he is? His strength and honor are only a matter of time."
"According to you, when the Magic lost to Mosaic in the finals, my performance was no better than Hakim. Although the score was 2 points less, the overall shooting rate exceeded Hakim's 11.2%. People didn't think I passed Hakim after the Finals and became the No. 1 player in the league!"
No one expected that O'Neal would actually use his first trip to the finals as a defense.
"But……"
Barkley doesn't know if O'Neal took the wrong medicine today, but he was also an MVP player in the league at his peak, and he also had his own set of understandings of basketball, so he chose to stick to his own opinions.
But as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by O'Neal:
"That's because you haven't won the championship, and you haven't felt the importance of the championship to a player's historical status! Especially for a super giant, the championship and FMVP are both essential to competing for historical status. important factor.”
At this time, all the talents suddenly woke up, and they almost forgot that O'Neal was a supporter of the "Great Theory of the Championship".
Just like O'Neal's remarks that after winning three championships, he surpassed the remarks of other historical figures who were second only to Michael Jordan. He was dismissive of the so-called expert rankings who made such remarks, which caused a great sensation at the time.
Now, even if the target is Wang Zelin, whom he loves very much, he does not hesitate to stick to his theory.
Of course, everyone always takes themselves as the biggest starting point in everything they do.
As the only winner of three consecutive championships and three consecutive FMVPs since the 21st century, insisting on this "championship great theory" is undoubtedly very beneficial to O'Neal's competition for historical status ranking.
Otherwise, he wouldn't stick to this theory all the time.
This is the biggest reason for him to "backstab" Barkley today.
"Haha, Charles, in fact, we all know that LeBron is a great player, and there is no doubt that Wang is destined to be great in the future! But I think, no matter how much we discuss the four of us, the sample is limited after all, and who I can't convince anyone. Who is the number one player in the league today, it is better to leave it to the fans to evaluate. I remember a saying in the Chinese dynasty that the eyes of the masses are sharp!"
When the statement "You haven't won a championship" came out, Barkley's face darkened visibly. O'Neal didn't mention how happy he was in his heart. But considering that today is a more serious forum after all, the final conclusion is as sharp as before.
Seeing this, Barkley also smiled and said, "You're right, I suggest holding a vote on the TNT official website, and the fans will choose the number one player in the league today."
"agree!"
"This method is good, and the recognition of fans is also very important."
Because several guests had different opinions on the first person in the league and were influenced by O'Neal, Barkley immediately suggested that the fans vote.
And his proposal was also approved by several guests.
After the symposium, the TNT official website immediately opened a poll:
Who do you think is the first player in the league in the 2014-2015 season?
In addition to James and Wang Zelin, the four-time scoring champion Durant and Curry, who led his team to MVP-level performance this season, are also among the candidates.
Durant and Curry's entry into the list has also been recognized by many fans.
After all, the former had just competed fiercely with Wang Zelin in the regular season competition last season, and the latter was the second most popular candidate on the MVP list this season after Wang Zelin.
Fans will choose the first player in the league among the 4 strongest players in the league today!
Fans around the world were very enthusiastic about this voting event, and the number of votes exceeded six figures in a short time, and it is still rising rapidly.
The voting went on so hot, as if everything went so smoothly, that everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of another old guy.
……
at the same time.
Los Angeles, in a mansion in Beverly Hills, an unnamed player No. 24 was so angry that he went crazy!
Damn it!
TNT officials did not rank him among the top four in the half-season, and more importantly, the fan community did not have much response to this ranking.
Whether it was accidentally missed by the staff, or TNT declared in disguise: It has withdrawn from the ranks of active top players...
A scholar can endure it, but an unbearable one!
Mommy Fake!
After making a foul sentence, he checked it out. The Lakers' next opponent - the Minnesota Timberwolves! ?
Alright, then it's up to you!
……
……
The vigorous voting on the Internet did not affect the evening game between Wang Zelin and his teammates.
Against the Jazz back-to-back at home, it took less than three quarters to completely blow the game.
In the end, after playing for 25 minutes, Wang Zelin scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and then went off work ahead of schedule.
After the fourth quarter, the Blazers easily won the opponent at 107:95 at home and won two consecutive victories.
On the 26th.
After a full day of voting for 24 hours, the final result came out.
James and Wang Zelin are far ahead of Curry and Durant.
53% of fans agree that James is still the number one player in the league today!
37% of fans also believe that Wang Zelin has replaced James in the league!
And Curry and Durant have only 5% and 4% of the vote, respectively.
As for the last 1% of fans, they chose to abstain from voting after careful consideration.
The gap between James and Wang Zelin is still visible to the naked eye, but it is not as big as expected.
However, the gap between the last two and the first two is truly beyond expectations.
TNT officials also immediately announced that LeBron James is still the number one player in the league today!
It's just that after this event, Wang Zhelin was considered to be the second person in the alliance, and he really sat down and looked at each other.
In addition to this news, on the 26th, another piece of breaking news came from the west.
In the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Timberwolves, Kobe Bryant, No. 24 of the Lakers, who had to be named, seemed to have the wolfberry in his thermos cup replaced by Red Bull in advance. .
The audience made 20 of 33 shots~www.mtlnovel.com~ 5 of 11 three-pointers, 6 of 9 free throws, scored 51 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 is a luxurious number of steals.
This is also Kobe's 27th 50+ in a single game in his career, only 4 away from Jordan's 31 50+.
Since Kobe did not suffer from a ruptured Achilles tendon in the original time and space, as early as last season, he broke the 50+ record of 25 single-game careers in history.
This season, the average points per game of the Black Mamba has dropped again, dropping to 23 points. There are no 50+ times in a game, and there are only a handful of 40+ points.
Just when everyone thought that Kobe Bryant would never be able to return to the state of scoring as if he was looking for something, and this ended the season, he suddenly staged a drama of heaven.
A wave of 51 points in a single game quickly took away all the heat of the TNT voting event.
And looking at it like this, Kobe's explosive scoring ability did not decline as seriously as everyone imagined, and it may not be possible for him to surpass Jordan in the future.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time in Kobe's NBA career that he scored 50+ in a single game against the Timberwolves!
The last time he had to go back to the peak period when he averaged 31.6 points per game and won the scoring championship in the 06-07 season.
In that game, he made 17 of 35 shots, 4 of 9 free throws, scored 50 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals against the Timberwolves, helping the Lakers have the last laugh at 109:102.
When the 37-year-old Black Mamba quickly entered the hot list of sports newspapers around the world with a 51-point explosive performance, at that moment, everyone did not have an illusion:
Hot man, he's back again!
