The original afternoon training plan ended before it even started. Wang Zelin drove back to the hotel by himself. He drove wildly for a while and finally felt a little better.
About 10 minutes later, Zhou Yang approached Wang Zelin with a superior look on his face and told him that the Oracle KO incident had aroused a lot of public opinion in China, and many media were critical of Wang Zelin.
"Tch, no surprise at all!" Wang Zelin replied nonchalantly.
He is still very clear to the people around him about the current situation in the country. In this era where public knowledge is rampant and demons are everywhere, it is exactly what is said:
"The braids on the head are tangible, but the braids in some people's hearts are invisible!"
It has only been ten years since China returned to the WTO. The rapid economic development has also created a large number of people's blind worship of developed countries in Europe and the United States, especially the public intellectuals who control a large amount of public opinion. Therefore, there has been a domestic uproar The public criticism was completely within his expectation.
But he doesn't care about this, just like what the administrator said:
"All reactionaries are paper tigers!"
Coupled with the new leader who just came to power last year, he is a leader with a tough style. The current evil trend of "taking pride in hating the country and being ashamed of patriotism" will disappear sooner or later.
As for those so-called "public intellectuals", they will only be liquidated in the future.
"For example, on forum posts, the voices matching you are smaller, but it is many mainstream media. They..."
Zhou Yang cannot know the future trends like Wang Zelin. His expression is still serious and his mood is still worried.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't set fire. The most they can do is criticize some of my off-field news. As long as I play well on the field, I believe the public will be discerning!"
Wang Zelin smiled and pulled Zhou Yang to his seat.
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and said: "You, you... it's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!"
"Forget it, those bullshit media are just Bei Tong. The more you care, the more those people will get more aggressive." Wang Zelin said disdainfully.
…
In the evening, coach Terry Stotts handed over his starting lineup.
Even though many media believed that Wang Zelin would most likely avoid fighting tonight, he still appeared on the starting list.
Obviously, Wang Zelin's appearance exceeded most people's expectations. After all, there are so many rumors in the outside world now. Wouldn't it be better to selectively pretend to be blind and avoid the limelight?
Even if they lose to the Grizzlies this time, wouldn't the Trail Blazers still have the best record in the league?
Just inside the home team's locker room, Grizzlies head coach Dave Joe Gore was arranging his starting lineup.
The new head coach of the Grizzlies is only half a month away from turning 40. He is definitely considered a member of the younger generation in the coaching world.
As for the previous head coach Lionel Hollins, who only coached the Grizzlies for 6 years, during these 6 years, although he made the playoffs three times, he was never able to go further and break through the Western Conference.
Until last summer, the Grizzlies management seemed to be fed up with the current situation of the team and wanted to seek new breakthroughs. Therefore, the management chose to promote Dave Joger, who had been the Grizzlies assistant coach for the previous six seasons, to become the head coach of the Grizzlies. The team's head coach.
It is worth mentioning that Dave Joerger is also the NBA relay Bobcats coach Steve Clifford, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek, Nets coach Jason Kidd and The seventh "rookie coach" after Kings coach Mike Malone.
So far, the Grizzlies have played a total of 46 games and lost 19 of them, with a record of 25 wins and 19 losses.
Especially in the first two months of the season, the Grizzlies were once ranked in the lower reaches of the Western Conference, which made the outside world increasingly skeptical of the new Grizzlies coach.
Fortunately, after entering mid-January, the Grizzlies ushered in a wave of 5-game winning streak and another wave of 6-game winning streak that continues to this day, helping the Grizzlies return to the top eight in the Western Conference.
Just two days ago, the Grizzlies defeated the Bucks 99:90 in an away game. After winning 6 consecutive games, Dave Joerger's burden was slightly relieved. Tonight we received another strong shot. opponent.
In other words, it is the strongest team in the league currently - the Portland Trail Blazers!
This suddenly made the burden on him much heavier.
Fortunately, after entering the middle of the season, Zach Randolph is now in good condition and no longer has the bloated body that looked like he was pregnant in June at the beginning of the season.
Coupled with defensive goalkeeper Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies' black-and-white inside combination gave him a lot of confidence in tonight's game.
At least, Marc Gasol is one of the few active players in the league who can be in the low post and slightly restrict the opponent's No. 36 big man. Whether it is the height on the court or the protection of rebounds, the Grizzlies are better than other teams. , are much better.
There are twin towers on the inside and a group of defensive warriors on the outside, which gives Dave Joger the determination to fight the Trail Blazers to the end.
Besides, even if you can't beat the opponent, you can still be disgusted.
Ahem, it can be seen that he is indeed the chief assistant coach that Hollins, the former head coach of the Grizzlies, valued very much. Not only did he steal his job, he also inherited his mantle. He has a way of "stirring up the shit" that the Grizzlies have. A knight who flourishes the "stick" attribute.
"Mike, Tony, James..." After Dave Joerger finished practicing the starting position at No. 123, he looked at Marc Gasol, who noticed it and could see it.
"Mark, you have to do a good job of protecting the frame in this game..." He pointed to Zach Randolph behind him again, "Zach, the team's offense depends on you!"
"Um!"
Zach Randolph nodded heavily.
As soon as he came up, Dave Joerger put together the Grizzlies' strongest lineup at present. Except for Zach Randolph, the other five players on the field were all good defensive players at the same position.
Moreover, considering that the player Zach Randolph is facing tonight is Aldridge, the energy he injects on both ends of the court will definitely exceed previous games.
