Wang Zelin's performance today was average, with only 21 points and 9 rebounds. Unexpectedly, he did not break the 20+ points per game, but instead broke the record line of 10+ rebounds per game.
Moreover, in the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Westbrook attempted a dunk, which resulted in Wang Zelin's sixth foul of the game and he immediately left the game.
The first blood that had been guarded for more than two months was just taken down.
Therefore, Wang Zelin became the one criticized the most by Coach Terry today.
He doesn't feel anything at all. He loves and hates deeply, and the coach is doing it for his own good.
During the subsequent criticism meeting, Wang Zelin was in a daze throughout and did not pay much attention to the next victim. '
After the game, Wang Zelin went home and practiced shooting, then stayed in the weight room for an hour before going back to his room to fall asleep.
Nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, Wang Zelin followed the team to the Charlotte area and began a six-game eastward expedition.
The first stop was Jordan Joe’s team, the Charlotte Hornets, oh, no, it’s still called the Charlotte Bobcats.
In mid-May last year, Boss Joe announced that the Charlotte Bobcats would use a new team name, the Hornets. Although it would take a year to change the name, the outside world has now assumed that the Bobcats are the Hornets.
In the last game against the Kings, the Charlotte Hornets won this rookie battle, ending their previous five-game losing streak and currently ranking ninth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 15 wins and 20 losses.
Yes, with this record, they can still rank ninth in the Eastern Conference... You can imagine how weak the Eastern Conference is.
Before the game started, the main players from both sides were undergoing pre-match interviews.
Wang Zelin and Zhou Lin'an were chatting happily, and suddenly this scream made him stunned on the spot: I don't seem to have made a move yet!
Then I just heard...
"Air Jordan! It's really Jordan!"
Not only Zhou Lin'an, but also the audience on the sidelines cheered.
The charm of the basketball god instantly filled the entire arena.
As the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan actually went to the arena to tease young players in private, and he often went to the sidelines to watch games.
After all, only when the team's record is good will they get tickets!
Unfortunately, the mud can never support the wall. Jordan has been in charge of the Hornets for so many years, and he only made the playoffs in the 2009-10 season.
Seeing that the team is having fun again this year, Jordan will naturally come to the scene to cheer up and cheer for the young people on the team.
However, Jordan never expected that his arrival would more often cause tension among Charlotte players than add motivation. Sometimes, it is the away players who are most stimulated by his arrival.
After all, how rare it is to be able to show off your skills in front of the God of Basketball!
…
Trail Blazers locker room.
"King, the God of Basketball is here in person, how do you feel?" Beverley asked.
"Haha..." Wang Zelin laughed and said: "I feel more excited than ever before. I want to beat the Hornets tonight."
"Don't forget me about this kind of thing!"
Batum shouted first.
At this time, Coach Terry from outside came in, heard the conversation inside, and said: "We will stay in the East for 12 days and play 6 games. The first game is today. No one should let me off the hook!"
Mo Williams patted his chest: "Mr. Stotts, it's just a wasp. As long as we play normally, they have absolutely no chance of winning."
This made sense, and everyone nodded.
The arrival of the God of Basketball makes every Trail Blazers player excited, and everyone is looking forward to the upcoming game.
Being in the Trail Blazers locker room and being in the Hornets locker room are two completely different feelings.
Here, it is fun and positive.
On the other hand, the wasp was uneasy.
Facing the No. 1 team in the league, the youngest team in the NBA feels bleak about its prospects.
That night, the all-out Blazers defeated the lowly Hornets, 120:86, outscoring their opponents with 46 points and winning 29 games of the season.
First visit to the East, first victory in the first battle!
After the game, after the press conference, the Blazers spent the night repairing, and flew to Philadelphia the next day. The second game against the 75ers this season is scheduled for the 11th, and they still have plenty of preparation time.
Before getting on the plane, Wang Zelin received a strange phone call.
"Hey, who is it?"
The call came when he was almost on the plane. Wang Zelin's temper was naturally not much better.
"Hey, you actually forgot who this person is? That's too much!"
There was crying from the other side.
"..."
Damn, who is it? I really want to punch you.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Zelin was thoughtful, and then asked tentatively: "Are you Sophie?"
"Well, who else?"
On the other end of the phone, Sophie Marceau complained.
"Why do you have my phone..."
Well, Wang Zelin finally realized that he actually exchanged phone numbers with her after the last communication.
But after that, the two had no contact again, and Wang Zelin gradually forgot about it.
After all, Mr. Lu Xun once said: "A woman will only affect the speed of drawing his sword!"
So Wang Zelin decided not to take the initiative to look for him. Of course, he didn't mind being passive.
Sophie Marceau said after a moment of silence: "Wang, I will be in Philadelphia at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The location is xxx..."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zelin was still confused.
According to this meaning, should he go or not?
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
…
…
…
Due to indescribable factors, Wang Zelin missed the morning training match on the 11th and showed up at the training ground leisurely at 3 p.m.
"King, are you okay tonight?"
Garnett approached Wang Zelin's seat and said with a teasing look on his face.
"Stay away from me, you're drooling." Wang Zelin pushed Garnett away in disgust.
To be honest, after the continuous madness last night, it continued again this morning. His legs were really weak, and he felt a little bit like his body was being hollowed out.
"Wang, the Internet is full of news about you finding a new love again."
Batum said enviously next to him.
After Wang Zelin broke up before, he went to comfort him several times, but he ended up having more fun after the breakup...
The clown is myself!
"Tch, I'm single now. What's wrong with occasionally chatting and eating with a few female friends?"
Wang Zelin smiled proudly, looking like "I'm right, what am I afraid of?"
"cut!"
All the Blazers gave out their middle fingers.
…
That night, when Sophie Marceau appeared at the game wearing red makeup, the Blazers generals looked at Wang Zelin and screamed strangely.
The 75ers players were getting ready to go on the court to warm up. After seeing this scene, they looked at Wang Zelin with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"King, please pay more attention to your health!"
Coach Terry’s words were profound and authentic.
Wang Zelin's face turned slightly red for a moment, then returned to normal: "Ahem, coach, why don't we let Steven start tonight? After all, the future of the team depends on young people, and we need to give him more training."
"..."
Coach Terry was silent. If he hadn't taken the occasion into consideration, he would have really wanted to send him a message: Give him a 13-face.
