"My head..."
"Fortunately, I'm at home."
Slowly opening his eyes, Wang Zelin felt as if his brain was trapped by a door. His whole body was groggy and his lips were extremely dry.
After getting up and taking a glass of warm water, I felt a little more awake.
What did I do last night?
After rubbing his head, Wang Zelin began to recall everything about last night.
After first arriving at the nightclub, Wang Zelin firmly refused to drink on the grounds that minors under the age of 21 are not allowed to drink in the United States.
In the end, everyone else was drinking during the whole process, and only Wang Zelin forced Li, a good friend, to go with him and drink milk with him.
But for some reason, the more he drank the milk, the worse it felt. It became very strong...
Later he remembered that Batum's guys called a group of blondes in XG clothes, and then he forgot...
Could it be?
Could it be?
No way!
He seemed to have thought of something not good, so he quickly searched the house inside and outside. After finding that there was nothing extra, he let out a sigh of relief...
But why is there always something missing in my heart?
When he was a fan in his previous life, he complained more than once about the stars who spent all their time in nightclubs and wasted their bright future.
But after he experienced it himself, he realized that feasting and feasting can really bring such strong stimulation and great satisfaction to people.
For NBA players, a group of high-income people, there are too many factors off the court that are as charming and charming as poppies. After tasting them, it is like being infected with a drug that cannot be quit, slowly seeping in, making people obsessed with it.
Capitalism is really harmful to people. Even I, an excellent socialist successor, almost fell victim to it.
But then again, the blond girls that Batum and others found in the nightclub yesterday had really good figures... They were like "Hmm! Humph!"
This is like a jar of fine wine waiting to be opened. You can still consider it if you have the opportunity to take a few sips.

At 12 noon on the 13th, the Trail Blazers came to Phoenix, and their second opponent was the Suns.
Since the departure of "Little Overlord" Amare and "Son of the Wind" Nash, who led the Suns to become the league's top team, the Suns have begun their own long road to reconstruction.
The current main training target of the Suns is Goran Dragic. He was selected by the Spurs with the 15th pick in the second round of the 2008 draft and was subsequently traded to the Suns. He is also hailed as Nash's successor. .
Wang Zelin, the other starting player, was also quite impressed.
The Polish hammer Gortat, the "Mosaic veteran" Diamond Scola, Durant's good friend Michael Beasley...
It is worth mentioning that Michael Beasley was still the second pick in the 2008 draft, but now the Suns' main support target is the second-round pick they once looked down on. I don't know what he is feeling at this time.
In the Trail Blazers' temporary training arena, everyone is using their favorite way to adjust their condition in order to better prepare for the evening game.
Hickson, who was playing with his notebook underground, suddenly jumped in with a start.
"Guys, come and see, our team is making headlines!"
Everyone gathered around to take a look. The headline news on today's game day was that the Trail Blazers defeated the F2-leading Lakers by 19 points. Among them, the two rookies Wang Zelin and Lillard scored 43 points together. The most eye-catching feat.
"Cool! Damien, I must treat the reporter who took this photo to a big meal. Look at the photo he took. The artistic level is at least as high as 3 or 4 floors above."
Wang Zelin pointed to the photo on the most famous Sports Illustrated headline in the United States. It was the alley-oop from Lillard to Wang Zelin at the beginning of the game.
The photographer successfully captured the excitement on Wang Zelin's face and the panic of the Lakers players.
You may consider adding chicken legs.
"The only drawback is that we only captured Damien's back. It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. There will still be many opportunities in the future."
That was true, but through the trembling upper body, everyone in the Trail Blazers knew that this guy was definitely holding back his laughter, and was holding it back in pain.
"Depend on…"
Lillard knew that if he answered the call at this time, it would definitely make Wang Zelin even more aggressive, so he decisively chose to turn around and practice ball.
"It's so boring, I can't help but laugh!"
“Come and take a look at this picture~~eh~~~”
Wang Zelin turned around, and the teammates around him suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts, disappearing without a trace.
Can’t afford it?
…
The game against the Suns started quickly, and the starting lineups of both sides were as expected.
The Trail Blazers' starting five are still the same as in the first game, and the Suns fielded a new lineup with Dragic as the core.
This game was the second preseason game for both teams. The difference was that the Trail Blazers ushered in their first win, while the former ended in defeat.
The Suns' opponent on the field was the Kings, who were also in the rebuilding period. It could be said that they were half a pound to half a pound, and they staged a fight between rookies for the audience.
Although they lost the game, Phoenix fans were quite satisfied with the performance of the Suns' new core Dragic.
In 15 minutes of playing time, he scored 9 points and 4 assists on 4 of 6 shooting. However, those 4 mistakes were a bit eye-catching, which is undoubtedly fatal for a point guard.
Fortunately, it is only a preseason game, and there is still a lot of room for improvement for Dragic. For this game, Phoenix fans also hope that Dragic can bring them new highlights.
But others don’t know, doesn’t Wang Zelin still know?
Dragic has to maintain his mediocre performance this season, and next season will be his breakout period.
At that time, he not only won the NBA Most Improved Award in one fell swoop, but was also successfully selected to the NBA All-NBA Third Team.
And these are the highlights of his entire career.
In the years that followed, Dragic successfully proved that he was just an NBA starting-level player, reaching the All-Star threshold.
Coincidentally, Director Lee was also selected to the league's best team in the 2013-14 season, and Dragic and Dragic were the first and second positions of the third team respectively.
It's just that one was selected in his second year, and the other in the sixth year of his career relied on the halo of the Most Improved Award to impress the media and fans.
After the game started, Lillard hit a three-pointer from the outside as soon as he came up, giving the Trail Blazers a good start.
Lillard's three-point ability has gained more and more trust from his teammates.
For the Suns, the "Diamond" who just joined the Suns stepped forward and performed dunks, layups, three-pointers and other various martial arts in turn, leading the team to a perfect start of 20-8.
As the boss of the team, Ade certainly showed no sign of weakness. He and Wang Zelin joined forces in the interior and quickly narrowed the point difference to single digits.
At this time, the Suns were on fire. Michael Beasley immediately scored 5 points in a row. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led 28-15.
Although Michael Beasley is not popular in the league due to personal reasons, his strength cannot be doubted by anyone.
83 rating!
This is the comprehensive rating given to Beasley by the system. It is not at all the strength that a player averaging about 10 points per game should have.
But this is the fact. The NBA is such a place that values talent. Otherwise, Michael Beasley would not be able to average 32 minutes per game by relying on a large number of individual singles in the third year of his career. Got nearly 20 points.
The Suns' temporary lead was a surprise to the home fans. You must know that the opposite Trail Blazers had just defeated the NBA's super-powerful purple and gold team with a score of 19 points in the last game.
Although Kobe and Howard did not play, the fans don't care.
What they know now is that their team actually had a 13-point opening lead against the Trail Blazers, who had just defeated the Lakers in the last game.
Can this game be won?
