Two hours later, Wang Zelin's first interview with Time Magazine ended. After the interview, Zhou Yang made a decisive decision to spread the news.
For Wang Zelin, being able to appear in such an international current affairs weekly, apart from the increase in personal influence, is more beneficial than the skyrocketing number of fans.
After receiving the news, China News Channel directly broadcast the news on the 7 p.m. news broadcast.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
In the United States, James immediately congratulated Wang Zelin on his official social media account, saying, "Congratulations to my brother..."
The first player in the league took the initiative to speak out, and many players rushed to follow suit.
Followed closely by the Big Apple's Melo Anthony, who responded with a very official "Congratulations!"
The remaining two of the Four Heroes quickly expressed their opinions, and those who didn't know thought it was an appointment in advance.
In addition to congratulations, many players also refused to be interviewed.
The vanguard is Dwight Howard.
No matter how envious and jealous everyone is, they still cannot change the fact.
Wang Zelin became the third basketball player in NBA history to be featured in Time Magazine in his rookie season.
The NBA player of the Times Magazine in his first rookie season is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has the status of President Hill at the center position.
The second one was when Yao Ming was selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft.
The third one is Wang Zelin.
Michael Jordan said: "I am no longer there!"
…
Unless they are political celebrities or international tycoons, no one cares about the content of the interview as far as basketball players are concerned.
Focus on one word - 13 squares!
The interview with Time Magazine came out of the blue, and an idea suddenly flashed in Wang Zelin's mind.
The prices of his previous endorsements seemed to have been negotiated low. If he had known there would be this interview, he should have postponed the business negotiations for a few days.
Wang Zelin is very depressed now.
It's all BoGt's fault!
If that mad dog hadn't bitten people randomly, I would have guaranteed at least "1.5 coolness" instead of earning "2 coolness".
Gan!
…
After confirming the release date of the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, sales of Wang Zelin's peripheral products took off.
Especially for jerseys, the total sales volume has reached the top ten in the league in one fell swoop, becoming the only insider player among the top ten sales.
Dwight Howard fell out of the top ten due to his poor record.
There are heated discussions from the outside world, but Zelin's personal life has not been greatly affected. He should still eat, drink and sleep.

On the night of the 12th, the Trail Blazers went to Oklahoma City to challenge the Thunder, but were beaten to a disgrace.
107:92, defeated Oklahoma City by 15 points.
For the Thunder, Durant made 12 of 24 shots in 39 minutes and scored 36 points, which is a good interpretation of what is called "the essence of human beings with a 50% shooting rate."
Second leader Westbrook contributed 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists, a near-triple-double. The day when the sewer seal is lifted is not far away.
Ibaka, the inside gatekeeper, scored 12 points, 17 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Facing the Trail Blazers without Wang Zelin, he successfully dominated the penalty area with his length.
em...hand length.
For the Trail Blazers, Aldridge scored a team-high double-double with 28 points and 11 rebounds. Batum continued to have more firepower than in previous games, scoring 21 points.
A large part of the reason for the loss lies with Lillard.
Lillard's performance was sluggish tonight, scoring only 9 points on 3 of 15 shots and successfully going undercover.
In this battle, the Thunder's record reached 28 wins and 9 losses, consolidating their first record in the league.
However, Wang Zelin knows that in half a month, when that event starts, the Thunder's dream of a regular season championship will be shattered.
…
After losing to the Thunder, the Trail Blazers ushered in another powerful enemy.
Just defeated the Grizzlies and came to the Denver Nuggets, the fourth running and jumping team in the Western Conference.
In my impression, under the leadership of Karl George, this civilian Nuggets achieved a 57-25 record that ranked third in the Western Conference, only one win less than the second-placed Spurs. You can imagine their tenacity.
When two playoff-level teams meet, there are bound to be casualties.
The Nuggets, playing away from home, finally defeated the Trail Blazers 115-111 after overtime.
After this campaign, the Nuggets ushered in their longest six-game winning streak in the new season, ranking fourth in the Western Conference with 25 wins and 13 losses, while the Trail Blazers ranked third in the Western Conference with 26 wins and 12 losses.
After successive losses to the Thunder and Nuggets, which they had won before, Portland fans realized the importance of Wang Zelin.
With Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers are a 100% playoff-level team. Without Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers will most likely fall to the edge of the top eight.
"King, come back quickly!"
…
The Heat were established and joined the NBA in 1988. They are an NBA team in Miami, Florida. Their home court is located at the American Airlines Center in downtown Miami.
The Miami fan market is very good, especially after winning the first championship in team history in 2006, fans have become more and more fond of this Heat team.
After winning the second championship in team history last year, the Heat suddenly became the second-most profitable team in the Eastern Conference.
As for number one, there is no doubt that it is the Big Apple City that has the right time, location, and people.
At 10 a.m. on the 16th, Wang Zelin, whose suspension was over, came to Miami with the team to challenge the defending champion Heat away from home.
As the Trail Blazers' motorcade shuttled through the streets of Miami, Wang Zelin looked out the window and said, "Miami is really a very livable place!"
Sun and sand, warmth and green leaves, and sexy beauties of all colors can be seen everywhere, forming the most charming theme of this peninsula.
"Wang, tonight~ um!"
Batum beside him smiled evilly.
"You stupid guy, put away your dirty thoughts first. Don't forget that our opponent tonight is the Heat, the unavoidable champion of the Eastern Conference." Lillard's face was very serious.
"OK! Understand, what I mean is, if I win..."
"Then wait until we win."
Wang Zelin interrupted Batum's speech, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Tonight is Wang Zelin's comeback battle, and it is also a focus battle.
The artillery fire of the war has not officially started yet, but there is already a lot of discussion from the outside world.
Many good people specifically interviewed Heat players and asked them what they thought of tonight's game.
Some members of the Heat responded very directly, saying that there would be no surprises tonight and the victory would be retained in Miami.
Even if the opponent is the young and limitless Trail Blazers.
Of course, only role players such as Haslem, Chalmers, and Josh Harrison responded positively. The Big Three like James, Wade, and Bosh never made a clear response.
Even though all the younger brothers have spoken out what is in their hearts, James has remained silent on the surface.
It wasn't until a reporter mentioned Wang Zelin that James finally spoke up, and he did not hesitate to praise him in any way he had ever known in his life.
"Wang is a very outstanding young man. God, that terrifying power reminded me instantly of my good brother Shaquille. They are both extremely terrifying monsters under the basket," James shrugged and continued, "Of course, Wang's free throw shooting is much better than Shaquille's."
Wade on the side smiled and said: "If Shaquille could have had Wang's free throw skills back then, maybe I would have more than two championships now."
"Hahaha!"
James and Wade's speeches aroused laughter from all the reporters, and unknowingly, they forgot the purpose of the interview in the first place.
