Chapter 488 485: A Fierce Competition for Ranking, Zaza Was Slapped to Tears (6.1K Votes Requested)

Chapter 488 485 serious competition for ranking, Zaza was slapped to tears (6.1K votes requested)

The Trail Blazers won the Nuggets game, and Curry once again became the highest scorer in the game.

However, his 32 points didn't change people's perception of him.

After all, Ty Lawson is not a very famous player yet, and beating an unknown person for 32 points is not something worth bragging about.

If one day Curry can score 32 points on Kobe, that would be awesome.

Therefore, reports of all kinds of strange things still emerge one after another.

"Curry killed the Nuggets with 32 points, but there are still three points where he is not as good as Paul."

"Are you really ready for the No. 2 pick in the second grade? I'm afraid the Nuggets are not the litmus test."

"32 points is commendable, but Curry's stability still lags behind Paul."

Obviously, no one still believed that this skinny guard could really succeed.

Among this group of young point guards, Westbrook, whose physical fitness is exaggerated in the Russian village next door, and Wall, who is as fast as lightning in Washington, have the foundation for success.

Stephen Curry just shoots three-pointers on time.

It seems that whether there is Wayne in the world or not, it cannot change the fact that Curry is not optimistic.

However, when faced with these criticisms again, Curry didn't care at all.

Like Wayne said, why should he compare with Chris Paul?

If you are too busy, just go ahead and do it yourself. Anyway, I have nothing to do with Chris Paul.

After the two games were played, the last trace of relaxed atmosphere left in the All-Star Game was exhausted.

Next, whether it is for the East or the West, it will be a terrifying playoff sprint!

The word "terrible" is not an exaggeration at all.

Because the competition this season is so fierce.

In the Western Conference alone, the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Lakers and Warriors are the four teams that are considered to be contenders for the championship. Adding in the Mavericks, a hidden championship team, there are five teams in the Western Conference alone that have a chance to compete for the championship. !

In the East, there are five teams: the Bulls, Heat, Nets, Celtics and Pacers, but don't forget that the Magic without Howard is also a troublemaker in the East.

After Angua went to the Knicks, the Knicks' mission must be to maintain a playoff spot.

In order to reach the playoffs, the Knicks will never make it easy for any team in the past two months.

This may be the most competitive season in the 21st century.

Therefore, after the game against the Nuggets, Carlisle also held a meeting with the coaching staff, mainly to study the rankings of this year's regular season and then formulate corresponding strategies.

Wayne was also invited to the meeting to let the star players know that it is necessary to know the team's strategy.

In the past few seasons, even if some teams deliberately choose rankings, they mainly choose an opponent who is easier to beat in the first round, and then try not to meet a strong opponent early in the second round.

But this year, if the ranking is not ideal, it will not be as simple as meeting a strong opponent early in the second round, but it is very likely that you will not be able to get through the first round!

Judging from the current situation, no matter where they are ranked, they will definitely experience a tough battle in the second round. There are so many strong teams in the Western Conference this year that there is no choice.

Therefore, Carlisle's goal is to meet a slightly weaker opponent in the first round so that he can save his energy for the second round.

The current situation is that fourth and fifth are the worst rankings. Because if the Trail Blazers are ranked fourth or fifth, there is a high probability that they will encounter the Lakers or Mavericks in the first round.

This is a difficulty that goes straight to hell right from the start.

This is no joke. If you don't win well, you'll be out of luck.

The championship team lost in the first round, which is an unacceptable result.

Even if they make it to the second round, the team must have become exhausted.

Therefore, fourth and fifth are rankings that the Blazers are trying their best to avoid.

Carlisle hopes that the team can stabilize the current second place as much as possible. It is not impossible to chase the first place, but that will take too much energy.

If a player is injured in order to compete for first place in the regular season, the gain will outweigh the loss.

All in all, if there is a chance to be No. 1 in the Western Conference, that would be the best, but there is no need to force it.

Wayne agreed. This is not only because competing for first place in the Western Conference requires taking greater risks, but also because the Grizzlies, who are eighth in the Western Conference, are actually not easy to beat.

Wayne is counting now. In fact, among the top eight teams in the Western Conference, the only good team in the first round is the Nuggets, whom the Trail Blazers just defeated yesterday.

There is no one left who is easy to beat, they are all tough.

Not to mention those teams competing for the championship, the Thunder are not a weak team now. In the original history, they reached the Western Conference finals this year.

The Grizzlies are even more difficult to mess with. Although the core of the team, Rudy Gay, was reimbursed for the season not long ago, this will exactly make the Grizzlies stronger.

When Gay was here, the team still played around him. But now, the team has completely built a system around the two bears. Coupled with Conley's series and Battier's key scoring, the Grizzlies have become a strong team that resolutely plays slow pace and positional warfare.

Without Gay, the Grizzlies are more unified.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Grizzlies can only be eighth in the Western Conference is because Gay was injured too late.

Without Gay early on, the Grizzlies would never have been just on the edge of the playoffs.

During this period, Gay was still a very toxic player.

In Wayne's previous life, a very embarrassing thing was that as long as any team did not have Gay, which team would be reborn.

Gay is simply the best interpreter of "Ewing's Law."

The so-called Ewing's Law can be simply explained in the words of Chinese fans: "Winning is not terrible, but whoever is missing will be embarrassed."

That's the case with Gay. Without him, the Grizzlies played better. After Gay was injured, the Grizzlies' winning rate soared.

A few years later, Gay went to the Raptors, and the Raptors' record was a mess. As soon as Gay left, the Raptors instantly became third in the Eastern Conference.

During this period, Guy was simply the spokesperson for the word "cancer".

It was only later that Gay gradually recognized himself and positioned himself as a role player, playing support or even as a substitute, and his reputation began to slowly improve.

Therefore, the Grizzlies without Guy are really untouchable.

After such a study, second place in the Western Conference is the best ranking, and fourth and below including fourth place is the worst ranking.

Then the next goal is very clear, do your best to stabilize the second position!

If they can maintain second place in the Western Conference, they will most likely be able to play the Nuggets in the first round.

Squeeze the softest persimmon and let others fight with the bayonet!

Of course, the Trail Blazers are not the only smart team in the world. Other teams also know the importance of second place in the Western Conference.

So next, the Warriors, Lakers and Mavericks will also launch a fierce attack on this.

In addition, the gap between everyone is not big to begin with, and the ranking will slip if you make a slight mistake.

So there is no doubt that the last two months left will be very difficult.

After the meeting, Wayne suddenly felt extremely stressed.

It is said that competition is fierce this season, but if you take a closer look, you will find that the difficulty is greater than imagined.

Of the 8 teams in the playoffs, excluding themselves and the Nuggets, 6 are not easy to beat.

It’s so outrageous.

I remember when Wayne was watching football, especially after the team era began, there were only a few competitive teams in the entire league.

Where is it like now? Flowers are blooming everywhere.

Just as Wayne thought before the start of the season, the championship this season is extremely valuable!

Whoever can reach the top, whoever can break through the siege, will really be the king of the 10s.

King of kings!

Wu Sheng noticed that Wayne's expression was much more serious during training today.

As Wayne's old partner, he still knows Wayne very well.

If he wasn't really under pressure, Wayne would never act like he was bitter and resentful.

So during the training break, Wu Sheng also chatted with Wayne.

"Wei, it's the most difficult stage of the regular season every year again. Remember that time in 2005, when we encountered some injuries in Indianapolis. But in the end, we got through it."

"Yes, that time in 2005.

Speaking of which, this is already the seventh time I have experienced such a moment, but I still feel a little nervous. "

Wayne smiled. Before he knew it, he had played in this league for 7 seasons.

But the experience of playing in college seems to have happened not long ago.

In the blink of an eye.

"It's okay. Although I'm already old, don't worry Wei, I will try my best to put the team on the podium, really.

You know, a player of my age is very lucky to still be playing for a championship team.

So, I won’t hold anything back. I will do my best to help you, even if I use up every last drop of gas in the tank. "

Wayne glanced at Wu Sheng in surprise, not expecting Jackson to suddenly say this to him.

But when I thought about it, it was very consistent with Wu Sheng's style.

Isn't Martial Saint the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice for you once he recognizes you as his brother?

Let alone helping his brothers in Auburn Hills, many people in the community where Wu Sheng grew up were also helped by him.

Some time ago, Wu Sheng specially invited a man named George Floyd to watch the game.

Wayne didn't know who this person was. He was neither a celebrity nor a public figure. He only knew that he was Wu Sheng's disciple.

Although there is a huge gap in status between the two now, Wu Sheng still has not forgotten his childhood playmate.

And Wu Sheng, he has never been afraid of pressure. What he said in the interview, "I work with pressure," is simply a classic in the North American sports world.

"Thank you, brother. I feel at ease with you by my side." Wayne stretched out his fist and touched Wu Sheng lightly.

Wayne had no doubts about every word Wu Sheng said.

After setting their goals for the season, the Trail Blazers continued on the road.

And they immediately encountered a tough opponent - the Atlanta Hawks.

Well, the Hawks are currently 35 wins and 23 losses, which is 11 fewer wins than the Trail Blazers. In theory, they are an opponent that can be eliminated with just a flick of the finger.

But now, things are different.

The Eagles will definitely be tougher than they look.

The reason is simple - Atlantans don't want to be squeezed out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference!

This year it’s not just the West, the East is also full of strong players.

The top six teams of the Bulls, Heat, Nets, Celtics, Pacers and Magic have already opened up a large gap with the teams behind them.

The remaining Hawks, Knicks and Bucks have very similar records.

In other words, if the Eagle wants to rise, it has almost no chance.

But the probability of falling down is very high.

Now that the Knicks have Anthony, the Hawks are in danger of falling to eighth at any time.

If you are accidentally surpassed by the Bucks again, then the entire season's efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, the Eagles will not give up any game easily now, even losing one more game is dangerous.

If they want to make the playoffs, they have to win this two-out-of-three game.

In the past, if the Hawks met the Trail Blazers, the players might have been thinking about winning instead of losing, and they didn't want to fight the Trail Blazers.

No matter how hard you try, you may not be able to defeat him.

But now, even if the old gangster himself stands in front of the eagle, they will work hard to win and fight to the death.

It won’t work no matter who comes!

The different mentality of the players has a great impact on the team's combat effectiveness.

This game was indeed very intense, and the physical confrontation was very intense. Basically, every ball was a must-win.

Although Marvin Williams couldn't guard Wayne, he could give him a lot of duel.

Josh, the handsome boy from China Investment Corporation, didn't make the shot today either. I guess he actually had a strong idea in mind. He knew that once he missed the shot, the eagle would be doomed.

Of course, there are those who are serious about playing golf, and there are those who take advantage of the troubled waters.

Zaza Pachulia was eager to take advantage of the fierce physical confrontation to take revenge on Wayne!

It's obvious that we can't win, so why can't we do it in a negative way?

As long as I can inadvertently injure Wayne, I will be able to make a huge comeback!

At the sixth minute of the third quarter, the game was still tense.

Today, Joe Johnson and last season's Best Sixth Man Crawford had great touches, allowing the Hawks to hold on to the score.

I won’t mention it anymore, the title of singles king is not for nothing.

And when Ke Liu feels good, he can transform into a super giant and be unfavorable on the offensive end.

At this time, Pachulia, who replaced Horford, was guarding Gasol.

In this round, my sister-in-law ran to the high position to help Wayne cover, and Zaza's eyes suddenly lit up.

Damn this is an opportunity!

Therefore, Pachulia was very active and switched to Wayne at the moment the pick-and-roll was formed.

He knew that with his strong strength, he would definitely not be able to defend Wayne.

Therefore, Pachulia directly grabbed Wayne's jersey and pulled hard. At this time, Marvin Williams came over to grab the basketball again and knocked the basketball out of Wayne's hand.

Wayne quickly fell to the ground to catch the ball. It was important to protect the ball.

Today's game itself was a fierce confrontation, so Wayne didn't think much about Pachulia's actions just now.

Unexpectedly, Pachulia fell to the ground more energetically than Wayne.

But the strange thing is that Pachulia didn't go for the ball after falling to the ground.

I saw him throwing himself on the ground and hugging Wayne's arm very keenly, and then twisted it violently!

"Fuck!" Suddenly, a heartbreaking pain hit him.

This damn thing was planned and premeditated!

Zaza ah Zaza, you are so fucking incorrigible that you can’t change your mind and eat shit!

The referee blew the whistle. Before Wayne could recover, Pachulia got up and took two steps back, raising his arms innocently.

At the same time, he was also secretly proud.

He had really killed him just now, there was no way Wayne would have done anything wrong!

However.

After Wayne moved his arms, he relaxed for a few seconds and recovered immediately!

"Ah, this." Zaza panicked at that time. Was he going to be beaten again?

Impossible, how could Wayne be fine? ?

Misstep, misstep!

Wayne stared at Zaza, like a wild animal staring at its prey.

Wayne was still thinking about how to make Pachulia feel good.

As a result, at this time, Wu Sheng quickly walked up from his side, got in front of Pachulia, and started talking without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

At that time, everyone in the entire stadium seemed to be still.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Everyone has seen fights in the NBA, but this is the first time that they start slapping someone without saying a word.

How fresh!

Fighting at least shows that both parties are fighting equally.

But slapping the mouth has a hint of humiliation in it.

Pachulia himself was stunned, and the slap made him burst into tears.

He covered his swollen face and looked pitifully at Wu Sheng, then looked at the referee who was also stunned.

Take action?

Don't worry, Zaza is a coward when it comes to real confrontation.

The referee was about to go up to dissuade him, but Wu Sheng slapped him again with his backhand.

"Snapped!"

A slow motion forehand and backhand whipped Pachulia into a pig head.

"You idiot, do you think you're smart? I'm telling you, if there's anything wrong with Wayne, I guarantee you, man, you won't be able to walk out of the Rose Garden today."

After Jackson slapped Pachulia, he pointed at Pachulia's nose and cursed.

Pachulia didn't dare to let out a fart and covered her face with her hands.

At this time, the camera gave a close-up of Pachulia, and people were surprised to see.

There were actually tears on this guy's face.

Pachulia was beaten to tears by Wu Sheng

It's not an adjective, it's just that I was really beaten to tears.

Pachulia was aggrieved. She wanted to hurt someone but didn't get hurt. She was slapped twice and scolded.

And during this period, no Eagles players came up to help him.

At that time, no one dared to play. Who dared to compete with these big guys from the Trail Blazers?

Pachulia's nose became sore and tears filled her eyes.

Wu Sheng was naturally expelled directly from the field, but he did not regret it. After turning around, he nodded from Wayne.

"Is your arm okay?"

"Uh it's okay."

"Well, then I won't block Pachulia. I said, I will do my best to protect you. You can't be suspended, so I taught him a lesson for you.

Come on, Wei, kill them! "

After speaking, Jackson raised his arms high, signaled to the fans, and then walked into the tunnel.

The fans were also very considerate and cheered for Wu Sheng.

He was obviously sent off for violating court discipline, but he was treated like a hero.

Pachulia is even more aggrieved!

You are so happy when I was beaten! ?

Wu Sheng's two slaps were both lethal and humiliating.

At this time, Wayne suddenly remembered that when he was watching football in his previous life, the retired Jackson once commented on Pachulia.

He said at the time that if he encountered Pachulia causing trouble, he would slap him twice without hesitation.

this.

What you say and what you do is a Martial Saint!

Wu Sheng left, and Zaza, who was beaten and crying on the spot, was replaced.

The game returned to normal. Wayne looked at the Eagles and let out a big sigh.

There is no other way, Brother Wusheng has spoken and asked me to kill you.

Then don't blame me for taking out the scythe.

Death drew his scythe, and no one was spared.

At the last moment of the third quarter, Wayne took two steps from the midfield line and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, helping the Trail Blazers gain a 9-point lead.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Wayne took a six and a Johnson, giving the Eagles a huge shock.

Later, Wayne dunked the Lunar Eclipse with a European step dunk.

Eclipse is averaging 1.6 blocks per game this season and is a very scary fortress in the air.

However, in front of Wayne, who had received the three bonus effects of "Superman's Leap", "Dunk Master" and "Earnest. Repeated Horizontal Jump" at the same time, Lunar Eclipse could only survive being dunked.

Yue Eclipse cursed loudly after being detained. Do you think he was scolding Wayne?

No.

He is cursing Pachulia!

Damn it, you kid is dirty to whomever, you are dirty to Wayne.

What good will it do you and me if you piss him off!

Silly beep stuff!

Despite this, the Eagles did not give up the game.

In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Keliu took Tony's shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Tony tried his best to reach the ball, but he used too much force and was called for a defensive foul.

Forget the foul, Crawford actually hit this three-pointer even though he was violated, 3+1!

Once Crawford's crazy knife is activated, he is really unreasonable.

After hitting the extra free throw, Crawford reduced the score to 9 points, single digits.

If the Hawks continue to defend against the Blazers' offense, then the game will still have to be played.

However, the God of Death will not give mortals the chance to change their fate.

Just one round later, Wayne responded with the ball.

In this round, the Eagles' defense did a very good job.

At the last moment of 24 seconds, Wayne was double-teamed by Williams and Horford and had to lay back and shoot a jumper.

Well, it's no longer a fadeaway jumper. The angle of the fadeaway is so large that it's completely a layup jumper.

The basketball magically passed through the fingertips of Williams and Horford and fell into the net.

It seems that the previous anti-interference attribute was not in vain.

When it comes to match-fixing, Brother Wei is really unambiguous.

The basketball hit the net, and the referee also awarded Horford a foul.

Wayne hit an extra free throw and then hit a three-pointer, and the point difference became 12 points.

Match-fixing for match-fixing, that's how arrogant it is.

Although there is only a 3-point difference between 9 points and 12 points, the psychological pressure on the players is completely different.

Chasing 9 points in the last minute and a half or chasing 12 points in the last minute and a half, which one sounds more difficult is self-evident.

The Hawks called a timeout, and Wayne made a aiming move toward Pachulia on the bench and pulled the trigger.

Wayne scored the 34th point of the half and he almost killed the game!

Sitting on the bench, Wayne took a sip of water and made a scissor hand gesture to the camera.

He knew Jackson could see it, and he was telling his good buddy: "I won the game!"

The God of War in the locker room smiled and made a scissor hand gesture to Wayne across the screen.

I knew you wouldn't let anyone down.

In the past two days, Curry has awakened again and his brothers have protected him.

Wayne now feels that there seems to be nothing to be afraid of in this bullshit battle of gods.

It’s true that the enemy is very strong, but

I have so many good brothers walking with me!
