Fifth Avenue, New York City.

Inside the Olympic Tower building of NBA headquarters.

A female assistant with shoulder-length short hair, delicate features, and professional attire trotted into the president's office.

"What's the matter? You look so surprised."

Xiao Hua's expression was a little weird at first, but he still pretended to be serious.

"Sorry, Mr. President, I was offended."

The female assistant was not stupid. She noticed something was obviously strange under the table and quickly lowered her head to her chest with an apologetic look on her face.

"Okay, let me take a look, hey... tell me, what happened?"

Just as Xiao Hua was about to stand up and take the document, his lower body seemed to be cramped, his expression tightened, and he returned to the chair.

Although the female assistant was a little confused, after hearing what the president said, she didn't think much about the reason for signing up quickly.

After a while.

"What? Wang didn't play today. The Trail Blazers have three main players who need to rest..."

Xiao Hua's roar immediately echoed throughout the entire office.

Immediately afterwards, the female assistant revealed another unfortunate news:

"President, there is also news from the Spurs. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Ginobili also need to rest due to accidental strains during training today."

"..."

Xiao Hua stopped his incompetent rage and fell into silence.

Among the 10 games scheduled today, the most popular one is the game between the Trail Blazers and the Pacers, and the second most popular one is the game between the Raptors and the Spurs.

Of course, these two games were scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States. But now someone told him that both the Trail Blazers and the Spurs had their main players rested...

I really don’t even have to act for a moment.

…

the other side.

Bankers Lifestyle Arena.

Today's opponent is the first game back at home after four consecutive away games. Frank Vogel is arranging tactics for the players.

After spitting for a while, Vogel finally finished explaining all the tactics, and in the end he did not forget to encourage his players: "Tonight's opponent is fierce, but we are not without the ability to fight with our opponent. As long as we take it seriously,

There is still a very good chance of winning... Let’s go to the court to warm up first!”

After that, the players began to leave the locker room one after another and went to the competition venue to warm up.

…

"Eh!?"

Arriving at the venue, Paul George discovered that Wang Zelin, whom he had longed for, was wearing a suit and leather collar, leisurely crossing his legs on the away bench.

On both sides of him, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Garnett sat respectively, and the three of them were all dressed in black suits as if they had made an appointment, even with their legs crossed in the same posture.

Take turns!

Seeing this scene, Paul George understood something instantly, but he was not happy in his heart. Instead, he was angry and walked over to Wang Zelin happily.

"Hey, George, my brother."

After seeing Paul George coming over, Wang Zelin raised his head and greeted him warmly.

"Wang, what is going on with you? Do you know how long I have been preparing for this game? How could you do this to me?"

"..."

A series of questions followed, leaving Wang Zelin confused.

Hey hey hey, isn't it? It's obviously to your advantage that I don't play, right? Why do you make it look like I've done something so evil?

…

…

The angry Pickle broke out tonight, playing 37 minutes and steadily helping the Pacers win.

109:97, the Pacers defeated the Trail Blazers by 12 points tonight.

For the Pacers, Paul George performed best, scoring a near-triple double with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Well deserved the best of the match!

After this battle, the Pacers' record also became 53 wins and 23 losses, two games ahead of the Miami Heat, and continued to consolidate the number one spot in the Eastern Conference.

After the post-match interview.

As expected, Wang Zelin and his team's rest-rest scandal was criticized by many media.

…

…

After watching the Trail Blazers game video in the hotel with Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili, Simawicz looked a little surprised, but of course he was more serious.

Who would have expected that the young and strong Trail Blazers would choose to take a "no face" rotation in such an important game.

Shouldn't this be a method only older people like them would use?

Today’s young people are all so devoid of martial ethics!

Compared to the Indiana Pacers, the other team in this game, Duncan and others also attach great importance to it, because the young people of the Pacers are also difficult to deal with.

But now, for them, what is more important is their Western Conference opponents.

If we can't even cross to the west, it will be useless no matter how much we pay attention to the pedestrians.

I thought that the young and energetic guys of the Trail Blazers would definitely win the last seven regular season games at all costs for the sake of the "unearned reputation" of having the second record in NBA regular season wins.

In this way, by starting to prepare for the playoffs in advance, the Spurs will definitely take advantage when the playoffs arrive.

Who would have thought that the Blazers would also take a break early with them.

The Blazers' choice once again successfully aroused the vigilance and attention of Duncan and others.

Nowadays, the Spurs are really in a difficult situation. If they want to compete for the first place in the Western Conference, the Trail Blazers will definitely not let them easily overtake them; but if they are content with the status quo, according to the news from the team management, the league

The top management is already very dissatisfied with the team's poor rotation. If it happens again, a fine will be inevitable.

Of course, Simavici is not worried about any fines, but is worried that if the league's top management is irritated, there may be some trouble in the playoffs.

No matter what, I have to play well in the next game.

It's all the Blazers' fault. If they hadn't also taken a break, the public outcry wouldn't have been so big.

…

…

After the game on April 1st, there are only 6 games left.

The highlight is the Warriors-Clippers Mosaic and the Lakers 4 teams.

In the other two games, the Jazz and Cavaliers did not receive much attention. Perhaps no one could have imagined that the Utah Jazz, which had been lingering on the edge of the Western Conference playoffs for the past two seasons, would collapse so seriously, and the Elks were ranked last in the Western Conference.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After three full days of rest, Wang Zelin and others welcomed the visit of the Jazz at home.

But this game is really nothing to watch.

The Jazz accepted their fate early and had no tactics at all on the court. They fully explained to the 20,000 fans present what the "xjbd" tactic was.

The natural ending is that he was beaten by the Blazers with an xjb hammer.

117:102, a 15-point victory over the Jazz.

Wang Zelin, who played 31 minutes tonight, scored 26 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. His points, rebounds and blocks were all the highest in the game, and he was eventually named the best player in the game.

The next day, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland. Early on the third day, they arrived in California to play the Golden State Warriors away.

Up to now, the pattern of the western region has become quite clear.

The two 60-win teams of the Trail Blazers and Spurs are far ahead of the other strong teams. The Thunder and Clippers are in the same bracket. In the end, it is the final ranking competition between the Grizzlies, Mosaics, Warriors and Lakers.

As of now, the records of the four teams are very close to each other, and the winning difference between each team and the previous team is about 1 game.

The Warriors have a record of 48 wins and 30 losses this season, ranking seventh in the Western Conference in the playoffs and the like.

Warriors star Stephen Curry's performance has become more and more stable after being elected to the All-Stars. He has steadily contributed around 24 4 8 1 this season.

In addition, Klay Thompson, who averages 18.8 points per game, and Curry, monopolize the top two spots on all three-point lists this season.

The nickname "Splash Brothers" gradually became popular.

However, the "Splash Brothers" met the Trail Blazers tonight, and their feel was a bit too ordinary.

At the end of the game, the two took a total of 19 three-pointers, but only made 6 of them, with a shooting rate of only 31.5%. The efficiency was really poor.

At the end of the game, 107:91, the Trail Blazers scored 16 points in the away game and won their 64th regular season victory of the season.
