After the game, after physical therapy and interviews, Wang Zelin returned home and fell asleep with Ken Dou in his arms.

The next day, the league announced the Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Week winners for the third week of the season.

The Eastern Conference Player of the Week was awarded to DeRozan. Last week, DeRozan led the Bulls to victory in three games and ranked third in the Eastern Conference behind the Cavaliers and Bulls.

In terms of personal data, DeRozan averaged 37 minutes per game in three games, took 23.7 shots and 12.7 hits, and scored 34.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals!

With this explosive performance, DeRozan successfully defeated James and Davis and was named the conference player of the week for the third time in his career.

Watching the Raptors led by Gyro to third in the Eastern Conference, Wang Zelin remembered that this season DeRozan had indeed ushered in a year of explosive career statistics, averaging more than 25 points per game for the first time, reaching 27.3 points per game.

He also had 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks.

Among them, the shooting rate is 46.7%. In terms of comprehensive production and offensive efficiency, DeRozan is fully capable of competing for the title of the number one shooting guard in the Eastern Conference this season.

In the Western Conference, it seems that since the start of this season, the competition for Best of the Week has become very fierce.

The main reason is that there are many strong teams in the West, and ruthless players appear one after another.

Take last week as an example, there are six people who are eligible to run for the old best player, namely Westbrook of the Thunder, Curry and Durant of the Warriors, Paul of the Lakers, Harden of the Mosaic,

and Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers.

Except for the Thunder, which has a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, the Warriors, Lakers and Trail Blazers all achieved impressive records of winning three games last week, and they were tied in terms of teams.

Since Durant and Curry were on the same team and were divided a lot of votes, the two were eliminated first. The real competition mainly revolved around Westbrook, Paul, Harden, and Wang Zelin.

The first is Westbrook. He has become synonymous with triple-doubles this season. In fact, he has been getting triple-doubles for a while after the game, and his average data per game has reached an astonishing 31 10 10.

Then there are Paul and Harden. Paul averaged 20 10 4 2 in three games. From the perspective of a traditional point guard, his performance is impeccable; but Harden also played a very exaggerated performance, averaging 20 10 4 2 per game.

27 points, 9.3 rebounds and 14.3 assists, personal offense accounted for 40%.

This means that in the past three games, at least nearly half of the Mosaic team's points in a single game are directly or indirectly related to Harden, and the influence of the game is incredible!

If the above people were placed at any time during the previous NBA regular season, they would be qualified to be named the best of the week, but... it is a pity that they met a cheating guy.

In the past, Wang Zelin averaged 45-16 per game that day, including a season-high score of 55 points, allowing him to successfully crush the crowd and win the highly valuable honor of the Week.

…

After another day of rest, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Eastern Conference powerhouse Chicago Bulls at home.

Currently, the Bulls have a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, and are quite strong.

Among the Bulls' Big Three, Anthony Davis is naturally the most difficult to deal with.

The reason why the Bulls are ranked second in the Eastern Conference, closely behind the Cavaliers, is that in addition to the Big Three performing their respective duties, a big reason is that this season Davis has reached the peak of his personal performance.

The No. 1 pick in the same class as Wang Zelin could not bear the growing gap between himself and Wang Zelin. After joining the Bulls, he quickly achieved the breakthrough he had dreamed of in terms of team record.

In his debut in the playoffs, he and the Bulls reached the second round of the Eastern Conference, and it was because Rose was injured on a sudden move that the Bulls lost their team spirit, which caused them to lose to the Raptors in the forced battle.

This season, perhaps due to the team's general considerations, or perhaps due to his continuous injuries of various sizes in the past few years, Rose chose to jump out of his contract after negotiating with the Bulls management and reached a one-year deal with the Bulls.

A three-year contract with a total value of 36 million yuan and an early salary reduction.

The youngest MVP in the past, in the face of ruthless injuries, finally chose to reconcile with his once fast-paced self.

The reason why he signed this contract is, on the one hand, that Rose wants to continue to stay in the Bulls. He loves this team and he hopes to wear the red No. 1 jersey and fight for this city forever.

On the other hand, as Davis has completely entered his peak period, he has surpassed Rose in both potential and strength. In this case, Rose, who is already scarred, must make a choice.

Either give up the boss position, or take off the Bulls red No. 1 jersey and leave Chicago.

The result was obvious. In the end, Rose made a concession. He voluntarily gave up the five-year contract extension with a total value of 94 million yuan that he had reached with the Bulls in December 2011, and chose to complete the early extension with a salary cut.

, just to stay with the Bulls and stay in Chicago.

Signing a new contract means that Rose has completely announced to the outside world that he has given up his status as the Bulls boss.

This made many Rose fans sigh.

But it is precisely because of Rose's active salary reduction, from last season's fourth-highest annual salary of 34.1 million yuan to the current upper-middle-class annual salary of 12 million yuan, that the Bulls have gained a certain amount of salary space.

The signing of "Flash" Dwyane Wade on the market has provided the Bulls with the last piece of the core puzzle to win the championship, which can be regarded as a sacrifice.

At the same time, for Rose and the Bulls, this choice is a win-win deal.

From Wang Zelin's perspective, Rose's playing style in the early years destined him to suffer from injuries later. I wonder how much better the ending is now than in the original time and space?

You know, in the original time and space, Rose was directly sent to the Knicks by the Bulls after the end of the 2015-16 season, and then the next season he was reimbursed for the season due to a torn meniscus in his left knee.

After that, there will be no more!

The Windy City Rose, who once changed direction without slowing down and dunked without hanging on the basket, has completely disappeared from the league.

In the years that followed, there was only one homeless person in the league who wore the No. 25 jersey and kept moving from team to team in order to persist in his basketball dream.

Speaking of which, there is a high probability that it is because the joining of Davis has alleviated part of Rose's leadership pressure and prevented him from continuing to suffer from injuries. Although his strength has declined now, he still has the ability to play on a strong team.

Because of his ability, he was able to stay in Chicago.

Giving up the boss position to Davis, and then continuing to play for the Chicago Bulls with an annual salary of tens of millions, this ending is really good for Rose.

Davis has theoretically entered his peak period, and his personal performance is indeed the same.

Generally speaking, the beginning of each season is when the statistics of major stars explode, because many players may not have officially entered the state of the regular season, and players who enter the state early can easily dominate

Major data lists.

The same is true for this season. We have only played 11 and 2 games in the new season, and there are 5 players averaging 30 per game. He has played in 11 games, averaging 39.9 points, 16.2 rebounds, and 3.4 blocks per game. He currently ranks among the league's scoring and rebounding leaders.

Ranking, No. 1 in the three rankings in blocks.

Green Army star Thomas Jr. played 12 games, averaging 32 points per game, temporarily ranking second in the league's scoring list; Davis played 11 games, averaging 31.5 points per game, ranking third in the league's scoring list, in addition to 12 rebounds and 3.1 rebounds.

In terms of blocks, he ranks fourth in the league in rebounds and second in the league in blocks.

Next, Westbrook, ranked fourth, averaged 31 points per game, and Harden, ranked fifth, averaged 30.4 points per game.

Even though many caring people are gradually realizing that the league is about to usher in an era of data explosion, after 10 games of the new season, there are still 5 players averaging as high as 30 points per game, and one has a score close to 40 points per game...

The explosive scoring performance across the league stunned countless people.

In addition to the five of them, there are also as many as 10 players who have averaged 25 per game since the start of the game.

Sixth in the league in scoring: Durant, averaging 28.2 points per game;

Seventh in the league in scoring: Wiggins, averaging 28 points per game;

Eighth in the league in scoring: James, who has averaged 27.7.7 per game for 20 years;

Ranked ninth in the league in scoring; Leonard averages 26.5 points per game;

Tenth in the league in scoring: Cousins, who averages 26 points per game;

Eleventh in the league in scoring: Curry, averaging 25.8 points per game;

Twelfth in the league in scoring: Irving, averaging 25.5 points per game;

Thirteenth in the league in scoring: Towns, averaging 25.5 points per game;

Fourteenth in the league in scoring: Butler, averaging 25.2 points per game;

Fifteenth in the league in scoring: George, who averages 25 points per game;

The top 15 scoring players in the league generally average more than 25 points per game, which is extremely rare in history.

Including Kemba Walker, John Wall, Bradley Beal, Carmelo Anthony, Klay Thompson, Giannis Antetokounmpo and others.

There are at least 30 players currently averaging more than 20 points per game...

What an exaggeration, what a wild scoring flourish!

Most people, including Wang Zelin, can clearly feel that the rhythm of the league has completed a qualitative change this season, and the offensive rhythm of most teams has been completely improved.

This is good for the Trail Blazers!

They are one of the teams with the smoothest offensive rhythm in the current league and one of the teams with the easiest scoring ability.

As the number of offensive rounds in the game increases, it means that the team's demand for fast break tactics also increases.

The Trail Blazers, who focus on fast breaks this season, are exactly in line with the current era of the league, and may become the first team to try it.

…

At 8pm on the 15th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Bulls with difficulty 136:131.

In this game, Davis scored 42 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals!

It would be no exaggeration to say that he was red-eyed tonight.

As far away as Chicago, Bulls fans watching this game in front of their mobile phones or TV screens truly felt that Davis was unlucky, but at the same time they were pleased with the strength that Davis showed.

The reason why there are such complicated emotions is mainly due to pity that Davis obviously played his best performance of the season tonight, but ended up encountering Wang Zelin who was even more incomprehensible than him.

In this game, Wang Zelin played 38 minutes and made 21 of 31 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 52 points, 21 rebounds, 4 assists, 7 blocks and 3 steals!

It was precisely because of Wang Zelin's amazing performance in crushing Davis in all aspects that the Trail Blazers had the last laugh tonight, winning their 12th victory of the season and still maintaining their undefeated status.

After Sheng Yu, the tragedy of He Shengliang was once again verified in Davis.

This is also the main reason why Bulls fans feel pity for him.
