Chapter 837 Fighting Thunder Again, Opening Alley

In fact, before the Trail Blazers won 70 wins, Wang Zelin made public statements in front of the media more than once. This season, he hopes to try to hit the 72 Bulls' record of [-] wins in the regular season.

However, not many people took it to heart at the time.

In the eyes of most people, 72 wins in the regular season can only be a myth that can be seen from a distance and cannot be profane. After all, last season the Trail Blazers set a record of 70 wins and 12 losses in the regular season, which is the second in history!

But even the Trail Blazers, who were as strong as last season, failed to shake the Bulls' record in the end.

It can be seen that the 72 regular season wins are worthy of being one of the most difficult records in NBA history, enough to be tied with Chamberlain's 100 points and "Big O" Robertson's single-season triple-double.

Before winning 70 wins, the outside world responded with too many doubts and ridicule to Wang Zelin's "wishful thinking", bluntly saying that he was daydreaming.

However, when the Trail Blazers won the feat of 5 wins in the regular season 70 games earlier than last season, the team's official website immediately expressed its support for its own star, but this time the sunspots were speechless.

Unless the Trail Blazers can lose 5 games in the next 4 games, otherwise, no one can stop the birth of a new NBA record.

Everyone knows that it is rare for the Trail Blazers to lose 3 games in a single month like in March. It is an even smaller probability event in a small probability, and the possibility of a repeat is about zero.

The five opponents behind the Blazers are the Thunder, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Eagles, and Spurs. The Thunder and the Spurs have the possibility of intercepting the Blazers to break the record. The remaining three teams can only deliver food.

Considering that this season, a new miracle is about to be born, and the countless sunspots before disappeared in an instant, living up to the previous madness.

I can't afford it, I can't hide it!

……

……

Two days later, April 4, Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma.

It was another full-match live broadcast game. Tonight's heat was not lost at all to the previous match between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors, and even surpassed it to some extent.

On the one hand, it is because the Thunder team, which is sitting on the top bomber combination, is not necessarily inferior to the Blazers and Warriors; on the other hand, a considerable part of the audience wants to see tonight, can the Thunder stop the Trail Blazers from hitting the record tonight?

After winning 70 wins, the worst thing is that every game, the Trail Blazers may create new history.

Today, there are countless fans who hope to be witnesses to the birth of this glorious history, which has caused the heat of tonight's game to break through the sky, and the ticket price alone has created the highest in the history of the Energy Arena during the regular season.

According to gossip, the ticket price for the auditorium near the front row has even been raised to five figures, and it is still Mijin!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

The Thunder started with Russell Westbrook, Andre Roberson, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, and Robin J. Lopez, that is, Xiao Luo in the mouth of many fans.

In the trading market last summer, Lopez Jr. and the New York Knicks reached a signing agreement with a four-year contract worth 4 yuan.

The reason why the Knicks chose to introduce him is naturally to increase the team's chips in the Eastern Conference playoffs by strengthening the inside.

Unexpectedly, Carmelo Anthony, the biggest star of the Knicks this season, and the team's coaching staff frequently broke out conflicts, and experienced a coaching change in the middle of the season, resulting in a slump in the record.

Before the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks had only won more than a dozen wins, and they were almost doomed to miss the playoffs. This completely angered Dolan, the Knicks owner who had been taken advantage of for several years in a row.

I remember that in the 12-13 season, the Knicks were still able to make it to the second round of the Eastern Conference. As a result, last season, when the team spent money every year to sign up and maintain the core structure, they never made the playoffs.

Such a performance naturally aroused Dolan's dissatisfaction.

Ever since, the Knicks started their grandiose career again. In order to make a difference in the 2016 draft, which is known as the draft year next year, they directly gave up Lopez Jr., who played well after joining the Knicks, and let the Thunder easily acquire this high-quality center to strengthen the team's interior with a first-round pick and a few rotation players.

Emmm, how should I put it, the Thunder has undoubtedly made a profit in this deal, and it can even be said to have made a lot of money.

As for the Knicks, the comment given to them remains the same for thousands of years-people are stupid and have a lot of money!

But this can't be helped, after all, they are born in New York, even if they are bad every year, it still doesn't prevent them from becoming the most profitable team in the league... It's so fucking bad!

Okay, back to the topic.

Lopez Jr. is 2 meters tall and weighs 13 kilograms. He is a standard center forward.

In addition, his technical characteristics are more in line with the needs of the Thunder. He can finish at the basket, occasionally can shoot a few mid-range shots, and his offensive rebounding ability is stronger than his defensive rebounding ability.

These characteristics all match well with the Thunder's Wang Zha combination.

I just don't know why, after Lopez Jr. came to the Thunder, his average rebounds per game dropped from 7.8 per game when he was with the Knicks in the first half of the season to 6.5.

It is Westbrook's rebounding, which has risen from 7.1 rebounds per game in the first half of the season to 7.8 rebounds per game.

At the start of the game, Wang Zelin won the jump ball and the Blazers attacked.

Others pulled away, including Lillard, while Wang Zelin ran directly to the basket.

The Thunder did not double-team Wang Zelin in advance, and power forward Ibaka did not dare to let Aldridge go, so he went out.

In this way, only Ronaldinho is equipped with a single defense against Wang Zelin at the basket.

The match between Wang Zelin and Lopez Jr., or the weight difference of 10 kilograms, made it easy for him to get stuck behind him with better absolute strength.

When Lillard at the top of the arc saw it, he passed the ball directly without any hesitation.

First, he slowly pushed Westbrook with a breakthrough, then passed the ball over the top, and directly connected to the basket outside the three-point line.

Seeing the ball coming, Wang Zelin immediately turned sideways forcibly, then held Lopez with one arm, and hugged him instantly.

Little Lopez instinctively clamped Wang Zelin's main arm, but it was useless. He still couldn't stop the latter from getting up, but was pressed so hard that he couldn't take off and block the shot.

Wang Zelin forcibly jumped to a foot and a half, looked directly at the basket, and grabbed the ball with his right hand backhand. Amidst the exclamation of countless people, he grabbed the ball with one hand, and then slammed it into the basket.

"boom!"

Opening lob, the basket trembled.

"beep~"

At the same time, the whistle sounded.

Lopez made a defensive foul, and Wang Zelin had to make an extra free throw.

"Shet!"

The fans around the energy arena immediately became dissatisfied, and familiar greetings began to sound.

"Shh!"

Unfortunately, it did not affect Wang Zelin's extra penalty hit.
