Chapter 747 The legend is about to end
In the jump ball, Wang Zelin easily defeated "Gao Yuanyuan" Hibbert, giving the Blazers the first chance to attack.
In terms of jumping ability, even Hibbert in his peak period cannot compare with Wang Zelin, not to mention that his legs have already been ravaged by injuries, and he lives up to the courage of the past.
Before this battle, the Lakers had a record of 10 wins and 8 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference, which is a little better than the Grizzlies and Mosaics.
In these 18 games, Hibbert started all of them, but in the end he could only average 7+5+1.5 per game, and that 1.5 was an assist, not a block.
In other words, this guy has lost his ability to protect the frame for survival!
This kind of performance made the Lakers fans more and more unhappy, and their expectations were really in vain.I thought that only one future second-round pick in exchange for the Hibbert Lakers would definitely make a fortune. Lakers general manager Kupchak once vowed in the past:
"I'm very happy to bring an experienced interior veteran to the team. Roy is an all-star center who has proven his strength. He will enhance our frontcourt height!"
Now Kupchak's face is probably contorted.
From the current point of view, there is a high probability that Hibbert is useless, and it is the kind that will never return to the top.
The only good thing is that Hibbert is in a contract year this season, so he can't afford to grit his teeth and pay the 1500 million yuan salary this season, and just lay off him next season.
But in this way, it is very likely that Kobe, who is already old, will be delayed for another year.
Kobe is currently averaging 23.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. The three statistics have improved compared with last season, which is quite a dream to return to the peak.
But when you think of Kobe's age, no one can tell when he will collapse in an instant.
Looking back at those NBA super giants at the age of 37, in this rapidly changing league, there are only three players in history who can maintain an average output of more than 37 points per game at the age of 20.
分别是贾巴尔、卡尔·马龙和乔丹，而他们37岁那个赛季的场均数据依次为23.4分6.1篮板3.5助攻1.6盖帽、23.2分8.3篮板4.5助攻和22.9分5.7篮板5.2助攻1.4抢断。
From the current point of view, even if Kobe's next data declines, the basic disk can be roughly maintained at around 20+3+4, which is not inferior to the above three historical super giants.
But still the same sentence, as the best basketball league in the world, the update and iteration of the NBA is faster than people's imagination, and the requirements for players' ability and performance are extremely demanding.
The age of 30 is already a hurdle for most players, not to mention those who have passed the age of 35 and still maintain top scoring ability, all of them are true super giants.
But if it is 37 years old, then it is really hanging.
There has never been a situation in the history of the NBA where a team revolves around a 37-year-old star as the core of the team to win the championship!
Therefore, as the season progressed, when the Lakers' record ranking gradually dropped from the top four to sixth, the outside world gradually had a clear understanding of the Lakers. This Lakers team is not as strong as imagined. Maybe they are really just a strong team in the playoffs, not a strong contender for the championship.
……
After halftime.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 54:40, and the Blazers led the Lakers by 14 points.
出战18分钟的王泽林两节16中10，罚球6中6，拿到26分，外加13篮板3助攻3盖帽1抢断。
Although Barton failed to prevent Kobe tonight, he did a good job in controlling fouls and consuming the opponent's energy.
Before coming to Los Angeles, Wang Zelin reminded Barton that Kobe, who is playing more and more off the ball, has increased his ability to draw fouls in order to increase his offensive threat. This season, he averaged more than 8 free throws per game, an improvement over the 14 and 13 seasons.
Although it is not as terrifying as Houston's bearded average of 10 per game, it can also rank among the top five active guards, so be careful of Kobe's fouls.
For the Lakers, Kobe made 14 of 8 shots and 5 of 4 free throws in two quarters, scoring 21 points.Paul only took 5 shots and scored 6 points, but he also sent 7 assists and contributed 2 steals.
Hibbert, who averaged 7+5 per game this season, cried.
Because after the two quarters, he found himself scoring 1 point and 1 rebound...
It is impossible to play against Wang Zelin and still want good data. The current players who have played against Wang Zelin count as one, and they have all been beaten into autism.
Of course, this is said as if Hibbert deserved to play so poorly.
After the intermission, the players from both sides appeared on the field.
In the third quarter, Wang Zelin continued to do everything on the offensive end, because he already felt that the game had become boring.
After briefly experiencing the performance of the so-called "strongest active backcourt combination" in the first half of the Lakers fans, there is no need to continue to drag this game.
If it is two or three years younger, maybe this Lakers team can really cause huge trouble for the Trail Blazers.
However, the fact is that Kobe is 37, Dajia is 35, and Paul, the youngest of the Big Three, is also over 30.
Really old Big Three!
When the Lakers couldn't output the ultimate firepower outside, and the inside players Dajia and Hibbert were pressed against the floor fiercely by Wang Zelin, it's no wonder that the Lakers won.
So in the third quarter, the Lakers suffered a devastating blow under Wang Zelin's onslaught.
When No.1 in active service started to exert his strength, people found that the duel in the previous half turned into a child's fight in an instant.
Turn over jump shot, breakthrough dunks, low singles, super long-distance skyhook...
Wang Zelin is simply an inside offensive kaleidoscope, and he has used all the offensive skills that can be displayed at the center position.
The key is that on the defensive end, he can also ensure that he will not be stabbed by thousands of people...
Keke, get back to business.
Hibbert's defense can be said to be ineffective, but there is no way, the gap in hard power is too great.Even if the Lakers decided to double-team later, Wang Zelin had already played the ball, and it was useless to double-team.
Don't forget, the Skyhook is known as a scoring method that cannot be restricted!
Once this trick becomes ruthless, it is like Jordan and Kobe's fadeaway jumper, which cannot be restricted at all. The only thing the defender can do is to expect him to feel bad.
But Wang Zelin had already voted away.
单节打满12分钟，11投8中，罚球4中4，轰下20分！
After three quarters, the Blazers lead the Lakers by 25 points, which is almost equivalent to ending the game early!
During the intermission, the live camera gave Kobe a close-up.The Black Mamba played 26 minutes tonight and scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in three quarters. His state is obviously better than the previous games.
But today, people still see a unwilling expression on the face of this legendary player.
I don't know if it's because the Lakers are about to lose, or because I'm getting old and the curtain is about to end.
