"The Raptors lost five games in a row and dropped to 13th in the Eastern Conference!"
"The Trail Blazers' winning streak is starting again, Ma and Lei have to be careful."
"Wang Zelin said after the game: It's another day to clock in and go to work!"
…
After the game ended around 9 o'clock, all the Blazers left Toronto overnight, and of course they bought tickets.
Before 12 o'clock in the evening, Wang Zelin had returned home. Lying on the bed, his body suddenly felt a different feeling... It turned out that another new battlefield was waiting for him.
…
"Who wakes up from a big dream first?
I know myself all my life. "
"..."
The pleasant time passed quickly. Wang Zelin had a good sleep last night and didn't get up until the sun was shining on his buttocks.
Wang Zelin pulled off the quilt.
"Snapped!"
"What's the matter, King?"
Reina rubbed her eyes...a little dry.
"Get up, little lazy cat, didn't you promise to teach me to unlock new yoga postures?"
Wang Zelin climbed out of bed on his own, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then put on the only clothes scattered on the floor.
Half an hour later, Wang Zelin and Reina had arrived at the underground training hall.
When it comes to yoga, to outsiders, it has always been one of the iconic exercises for women.
But few people know that many top athletes in other sports also have a special liking for yoga, such as basketball players.
In the NBA, many super hitters, including Garnett and James, are loyal fans of yoga.
Because once practiced, this thing can not only calm and guide changes in mood, but also strengthen the body, prevent injuries, and achieve greatness.
To this end, James and others even hired professional yoga coaches to join their personal training teams. Even the later championship teams, the Cavaliers and Warriors, incorporated yoga training into the team's regular training plans.
As for Wang Zelin, he decisively included his girlfriend Reina in his training team in line with the attitude of keeping his wealth from others.
Although the current team only consists of Tom Bruce and Lena.
"Snapped!"
Reina swatted away someone's mischievous hand and said coquettishly: "Wang, you must concentrate fully during yoga training and maintain the correct breathing rhythm, otherwise you will easily injure yourself in these more difficult movements."
Faced with his girlfriend's serious look, Wang Zelin repeatedly promised that it would not be like this next time.
Wang Zelin has been doing yoga training all morning. In the afternoon, he picked up his packed backpack and ran to the team training ground.
As for the car, forget it.
Wang Zelin regretted it within a few days of getting it. It was okay for him to be the co-pilot of the car, but it would be a little uncomfortable for him to drive it himself.
Sometimes if you want to be elegant, you have to suffer. He decided to focus on off-road vehicles next time he bought a car.
When we arrived at the training hall, it was empty.
The Trail Blazers' next opponent was the New Orleans Hornets led by Davis. There was three days of rest before the next game, so Coach Terry gave all the players a day off on the first day.
Of course, anyone who wants to come can come.
After chatting with Uncle Johnny at the door for a while, Wang Zelin began his daily training.
After practicing yoga all morning, Wang Zelin's body couldn't get any hotter. After changing into training clothes in the locker room, Wang Zelin practiced mid-range shooting on the training ground.
Sometimes, only the more you practice, the more you will feel the breadth and depth of a skill.
Although Wang Zelin's star card has been integrated for a long time, with day after day training, he has still improved his mid-range shooting ability.
83~84!
Wang Zelin once again achieved a breakthrough through his own efforts based on the basic abilities of Rahim's star card.
The efficiency is definitely not as good as the star card fusion stage, but the joy and satisfaction from the heart is far beyond the former.
After practicing a set of 200 shooting training sessions from the paint area to the three-point line, Wang Zelin needed to rest for a few minutes before continuing the next week.
"Creak!"
"Bah bang bang!"
A familiar voice came from the players tunnel.
Wang Zelin looked around and saw a big white man wearing jersey No. 17.
"Hello, King!"
This strange guy took the lead in saying hello warmly and walked up quickly.
"You are~ Mike Roberts!"
Wang Zelin suddenly remembered a picture on the transfer information he had seen before.
"Yes, it's me."
Mike Roberts smiled and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the boss of the new team actually knew him, and he should be easy to get along with in the following days.
Mike Roberts, who has just arrived, is very clear about his status in the team. He will be a substitute when either Wang Zelin or Aldridge comes off the field, so he keeps his attitude very low.
Well, forgive Aldridge for being too low-key. Now the outside world has already accepted that Wang Zelin is still the boss of the Trail Blazers.
"Oh, welcome home, buddy. I believe you will soon be able to appreciate the new changes in the Trail Blazers team."
Wang Zelin enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and shook it with Mike Roberts, and the other person's personal ability information appeared in his eyes.
Mike Roberts
Height: 208cm
Weight: 109kg
Position: Center Power Forward
…
Offensive ability
CIC: 61
Passes: 63
Free Throws: 70
defensive ability
Internal Defense:78
Rebounds: 65
Comprehensive rating: 68 (a blue-collar player with a certain shooting threat and ball-playing ability)
Mike Roberts' ability is two levels weaker than Hickson's 75, but his defensive ability is indeed much better than the latter.
This guy shouldn't have to wipe his ass by himself like Hickson did.
"Wang, the outside world has always said that your Chinese players always train hard. I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect the rumors to be true."
There is a saying that goes like this: Thousands of things can be worn, but flattery can never be worn.
As a veteran who has been in charge for five or six years, Mike Roberts knows how to please young people like Wang Zelin.
After a few words, Wang Zelin's unhappiness because of Hickson's departure gradually faded away.
…
Time quickly came to the 14th, and the New Orleans Hornets players had arrived at the Rose Garden Arena.
The Hornets' current record is 6 wins and 15 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference, but this does not affect Davis' popularity at all.
Davis currently ranks third on the rookie list, second only to Wang Zelin and Lillard, with all-round data of 14 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.2 steals, and 1 assist per game.
Before the game, Wang Zelin took a special look and found that Davis's latest rating had reached 79, and various defensive abilities had improved to varying degrees.
67 external defense, 84 internal defense, 78 rebounds, 81 blocks, and 69 steals.
A natural defensive gate!
Absolutely giant seed!
No wonder that after just one season of adaptation, he became the first power forward of the new generation averaging at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.
The Hornets are currently experiencing a six-game losing streak. Although not many people are optimistic that they can win this game, Davis still maintains a high fighting spirit and embarks on a new journey.
It is worth mentioning that this game for the Hornets is back-to-back.
Four minutes after the game started, the Trail Blazers scored 11:2, showing a clean sheet against the Hornets.
I have to admit that Davis's defense is really strong, but it is a pity that it is not strong enough to be the best defensive player who can defend from one to five, and from inside to outside.
In addition, Wang Zelin used a feint and pass style in this game to slip Davis away.
Hey, I'm not going to fight, I'm just going to play!
Once Davis selectively gave up helping to defend Wang Zelin, he chose to forcefully eat Lopez.
To be honest, saving little Lopez alone is definitely not enough for him.
Unable to support himself, Davis eventually led the Hornets to continue their losing streak and sadly left the Rose Garden Arena.
In this game, Wang Zelin delivered a near-triple-double performance of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, which is very close to the teacher's data.
There is no doubt that he became the MVP of this game.
However, what was most discussed after the game was not Wang Zelin's near triple-double, but the team's new player Mike Roberts.
Mike Roberts, who returned to the Rose Garden Arena for home games after several years, played a total of 22 minutes tonight and scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and a season-high 3 blocks.
While showing good ability to protect the frame, he also restricted the Hornets' inside group to varying degrees.
The worst one is undoubtedly Lopez.
This season Lopez shot 69.1% from the basket, 53.4% from the field, and 57.3% from the field.
Faced with the torment of Wang Zelin and Mike Roberts, Lopez was heartbroken. His shooting percentage at the basket in this game was only 52.1%, which was a drop of more than ten percentage points and was far lower than the normal level in the past.
Davis, another starting power forward, also received similar treatment.
Davis's shooting percentage at the basket this season is a terrifying 71.3%, but this game's shooting percentage dropped to 65%.
Although Wang Zelin partly contributed to this, the internal defense ability displayed by Mike Roberts still surprised the Trail Blazers coaching staff and fans.
It's actually a good comparison.
In every game played by the Trail Blazers in the past, when Wang Zelin and Hickson partnered up, Trail Blazers fans could always see the former wiping the latter's butt.
But now it's the other way around. It's the substitute players' turn to wipe Wang Zelin's butt, allowing Wang Zelin to focus more on the offensive end.
…
At 10 a.m. on the 15th, the NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western Players of the Week from December 9th to December 15th.
In the East, Paul George of the Pacers helped the team achieve a record of 3 wins and 1 loss with his performance of 21.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.8 steals, and successfully won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
In the West, Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers led the team to 2 wins in 2 games with an average of 19.5 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game, beating the Golden State Warriors starting power forward David Lee, who averaged 22.8 points and 12.8 rebounds per game. Became the Western Conference Player of the Week.
It is worth mentioning that this seems to be the first time in the original history that David Lee was awarded Player of the Week in his career... but was intercepted by Wang Zelin.
Fortunately, Wang Zelin and Cousins went to the end in the game against the Kings.
Cousins scored 27 points and 9 rebounds, and Wang Zelin was not bad either, scoring 25 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, making up for the 14+10+5 in the game against the Raptors.
Otherwise, it is still unclear to whom the flowers will fall.
