NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 758 The importance of small goals
After 22 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers, who successfully broke the Warriors' 21-game winning streak, have no intention of stopping!
On December 12, they challenged the Pelicans away, and the Trail Blazers won 116:91. Josh Smith didn't play today, the Pelicans' internal strength plummeted, and the whole team became helpless.
On December 13, they played against the Thunder at home.
This back-to-back is undoubtedly very difficult for the Blazers.
Before this battle, the Thunder had a record of 16 wins and 8 losses, and are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference, second only to the Trail Blazers, Warriors and Spurs.
Considering that the Thunder currently have a complete lineup and the combination of Wang Zha is the finale, they are still one of the strong contenders for the championship this season.
Not long ago, they just experienced a wave of six consecutive victories, including the three strong teams of the Spurs in the West, the Lakers and the Raptors in the East, which can be described as menacing.
Therefore, this back-to-back game is also considered by the outside world to be the game that the Blazers are most likely to lose.
And this is also the source of most of the people who think that the Blazers can't beat last season's 24-game winning streak.
In this game, Durant and Westbrook's performance was as outstanding as ever, and they also successfully consumed the Trail Blazers to the end.
But the Thunder could not escape the fate of defeat in the end.
Facing the Blazers' impregnable defense, the Thunder's offense tonight was very difficult. In order to maintain the offensive efficiency, Durant played almost the entire game tonight.
And it caused Durant to have a physical crisis at the last moment of the final quarter, which is almost a major problem accompanying his entire career.
In the crucial last few rounds, Durant hit the iron twice, which completely ruined the Thunder's hard-fought night's victory.
Although the Thunder only lost 4 points to the Trail Blazers in the end, there is not much difference between losing 4 points and losing 40 points in essence.
Because they still lost!
So far, the Trail Blazers have played a terrible record of 24 wins and 0 losses, successfully tying the record of 24 consecutive victories created last season.
In the next game, the Trail Blazers' opponent is the Magic with 14 wins and 10 losses. If nothing else, a 25-game winning streak is already a certainty.
…
…
Two days later.
Rose Garden Arena in Portland.
The Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Orlando Magic at home.
This team, which is still under reconstruction, seems to have found their new core of team building, with Oladipo on the outside and Vucevic on the inside, it looks pretty good.
However, in fact, the Magic still have a long way to go. The head coach Sky Skiles they recruited this summer did not effectively bond the entire team together and create a good chemical reaction system. .
Although the Magic have just achieved a record of 14 wins and 11 losses, their ups and downs fluctuate greatly.
When the team is in good form, it can upset strong teams, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, the king of the East, but if the team is not in good condition, they can even lose to the Philadelphia 75ers, who are ranked bottom in the East.
The most terrible thing is that the day before the game, Oladipo, the core outsider of the Magic, injured his wrist, and he will have to rest for a week, making this game even more suspenseful.
This time, no accidents happened!
Rose Garden Stadium.
All eyes were fixed on the No. 36 player on the field.
"Shua! Shua!"
Steadily making two free throws from the free throw line, Wang Zelin scored the 40th point of the game, plus 18 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks.
30 points!
The scoreboard showed that the Blazers had a full 30-point lead over the Magic. But at this time, the time left for the Magic is less than five minutes!
It can be said that magic has almost been sentenced to death!
After Wang Zeling made a free throw, Scott Skiles put his head in his hands, got up with a look of despair, and stopped the game.
The gap in strength between each other is too great, and at this moment he has no plans to make a final struggle.
At the same time, Beverly, Yi Jianlian and others quickly got up to cheer for Wang Zelin when the Blazers came off the bench.
In the stands, nearly 20,000 Blazers fans stood up and gave the most deafening cheers tonight for their king.
beep~~~
After returning from the timeout, everyone knew that the game was over after seeing the Magic team replace with a group of unnamed characters.
The next moment, there was wave after wave of cheers on the scene, there is no highest, only higher!
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP"
Amid bursts of cheers, Wang Zelin sat on the bench until the final whistle sounded.
On the one hand, the opponent doesn't want to resist anymore. According to tradition, the Blazers have to withdraw their main force.
On the other hand, it is completely unnecessary. The Blazers and the Magic don't have much enmity.
At 130:108, the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Orlando Magic by 22 points at home, and there was no suspense in winning the game.
Wang Zelin and his teammates also successfully broke the 24-game winning streak they created last season!
On the court, the Blazers players are hugging each other.
It's just an ordinary regular season, but it's not just an ordinary regular season.
Breaking the record set by themselves is undoubtedly the strongest incentive for them! !
Thinking back to last season when they just set a record of 24 consecutive victories, the outside world exclaimed that it was a miracle.
But now, they broke the miracle with their own hands and created a new history.
Next, should we look forward to some higher goals?
For example, breaking the best regular season record of 70 wins and 12 losses in team history just created last season!
For example, the final ascent to the summit will be completed in June next summer, and a new dynasty myth will be written!
You must know that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ success is often not something that can be achieved easily. It is good to set a general direction, but protracted efforts will make people feel tired and easy to deviate from the direction.
Therefore, the importance of small goals has value.
Of course, the small goal here is not the small goal of "100 million" that he later tore up his father.
The small here refers to the small that "accumulates small to form rivers and seas", and the small that "turns small victories into big victories".
Halfway through a hundred miles, ninety percent, no matter how big the goal and the best direction, it is futile to give up halfway. Only by treating each step as a small goal can we go far and finally reach the other side of success.
Therefore, the Trail Blazers, who started off with 25 consecutive victories, just opened up a new copy and achieved a small staged victory, just like playing a game.
With such encouragement, the entire team can sweep away the exhaustion accumulated from the long battle, regain momentum, and march towards the great cause of three consecutive championships.
