Vol 2 Chapter 743 The legend is about to end

Wang Zelin easily defeated “Gao Yuanyuan” Hibbert in the jump ball, giving the Trail Blazers a chance to make the first attack.

In terms of jumping ability, even Hibbert at his peak can’t compare to Wang Zelin, not to mention that his legs are already devastated by injuries, and he lives up to his bravery back then.

Before this battle, the Lakers had a record of 10 wins and 8 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference, which was a little better than the Grizzlies and the Mosaic.

In these 18 games, Hibbert started all of them, but he only averaged 7+5+1.5 per game. That 1.5 was still assists, not blocks.

In other words, this guy has lost his ability to protect the frame!

This kind of performance made the Lakers fans more and more unhappy, and it really blinded their expectations. I thought that only one future second-round pick for the Hibbert Lakers would definitely make a profit. Lakers general manager Kupchak once swore that:

“I’m very happy to bring an experienced inside 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 drawn crooked.

From the current point of view, Hibbert is likely to be abandoned, and it is the kind that will never return to the top.

The only thing fortunate is that Hibbert is a contract year this season, and it is really impossible to grit his teeth this season to pay the salary of 15 million meters, and he will be fired next season.

However, in this way, it is very likely to delay the old Kobe Bryant for another year.

At present, Kobe is 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 one thinks of Kobe’s age, no one can say when he will collapse in an instant.

Looking back at those 37-year-old NBA supergiants, in this rapidly changing league, there are only three people in history who can average more than 20 points per game at the age of 37.

They are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone and Jordan respectively, and their averages in the 37-year-old season were 23.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.6 blocks, 23.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists, and 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals.

From the current point of view, even if Kobe Bryant’s next data declines, the basic price 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.

30 years old is already a hurdle for most players, not to mention those who still maintain top scoring ability after 35 years old, all of them are really super giants.

But if it is 37 years old, it is really hanging.

There has never been a situation in the history of the NBA where a team revolved around a 37-year-old star as the core of the team to win a championship!

Therefore, as the season progresses, when the Lakers’ record ranking gradually slips from the top four to the sixth, the outside world gradually has a clear understanding of the Lakers. This Lakers team is not as strong as imagined. Maybe they are really just a postseason team. A strong team, not a championship contender.

……

After halftime.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 54:40, and the Blazers led the Lakers by 14 points.

Wang Zelin, who played 18 minutes, scored 10 of 16 in two quarters and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 26 points, plus 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

Although Barton failed to prevent Kobe tonight, he did a good job in controlling fouls and consuming the opponent’s physical strength.

Before coming to Los Angeles, Wang Zelin reminded Barton that Kobe, whose playing style is getting closer and closer to the no-ball, in order to increase the offensive threat, his ability to make fouls has not decreased but increased. This season, he averaged more than 8 free throws per game, compared with 14 and 13 The two seasons have improved, and they are almost catching up with the 2008 MVP season’s average of 9 per game.

Although not as terrifying as Houston’s Beard’s average of 10 per game, he can also rank among the top five in the rankings of active guards, so be careful of Kobe’s fouls.

On the Lakers side, Kobe made 8 of 14 shots and 4 of 5 free throws in two quarters, scoring 21 points. Paul only had 5 shots and got 6 points, but he also sent 7 assists and contributed 2 steals.

Hibbert, who averaged 7+5 per game this season, cried.

Because after 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, one is counted as one, they are all autistic, and basically there are no players in the same position as he knows.

Of course, this was said as if Hibbert should have played so badly.

At the end of the intermission, players from both sides came on stage.

In the third quarter, Wang Zelin continued to do everything on offense because he already felt that the game had become boring.

After simply feeling the performance of the so-called “strongest backcourt combination in active service” in the mouth of the Lakers fans in the first half, there is no need to drag the game on.

If they were two or three years younger, maybe this Lakers team could really cause huge trouble for the Blazers.

However, the fact is that Kobe is 37, Dajia is 35, and Paul, the youngest of the Big Three, is over 30.

Really old three giants!

When the Lakers couldn’t output extreme firepower on the outside, Da Jia and Hibbert on the inside were slammed on the floor by Wang Zelin, and it was strange that the Lakers could win.

So in the third quarter, the Lakers suffered a devastating blow under Wang Zelin’s onslaught.

When the first person in active duty started to exert his strength, people found that the confrontation in the previous half turned into a fight between children in an instant.

Rollover jumper, breakthrough dunk, low singles, super long-distance sky hook…

Wang Zelin is like a kaleidoscope of inside attack. All the offensive skills he can use in the center position are played by him.

Cough, let’s get down to business.

Hibbert’s defense can be said to be hard, but he can’t help it. The gap in hard power is really too big. Even if the Lakers later decided to double-team, Wang Zelin had already played the touch, and it was useless to double-team.

Don’t forget, the sky hook is known as a scoring method that cannot be restricted!

Once this move is ruthless, like Jordan and Kobe’s fallback jumper, there is absolutely no limit to it. The only thing the defender can do is to expect him to feel bad.

But Wang Zelin had already voted.

Played 12 minutes in a single quarter, made 8 of 11 shots, made 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points!

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 25 points, which was almost equivalent to ending the game early!

During the break between festivals, 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. The state is obviously better than the previous games.

But today, people still see an unwilling expression on the face of the legendary player.

I don’t know if I am unwilling to lose the Lakers, or I am unwilling to grow old and the curtain will soon come to an end.
