In this era where the annual salary of team mascots is generally in the tens of thousands, and occasionally exceeds 100,000, Pangda can single-handedly distance himself from other team mascots and become the first mascot worth a million in history. Let the contracting parties feel that they are not losing money, or even making money...
Needless to say, Pang Da’s noodles are really good!
Regarding Panda's design plan, Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian also participated in it and gave many valuable opinions.
After all, it is their national treasure, and they don't want Panda to be designed into a weird thing.
In the end, the design plan for the team's new mascot, Panda, was mainly based on cuteness. After referring to Wang Zelin's suggestion, the image of the Trail Blazers' Panda on the court was somewhat similar to that of Bing Dundun, but the difference from Bing Dundun was that this Panda took off the transparent ice shell and wore Wearing basketball uniforms.
As soon as the cute Panda appeared on the scene, he quickly replaced the image of the Flame Cat that took more than ten years of work to establish in the hearts of local fans, and became a mascot loved by all of Portland and even the United States.
During the warm-up period, when the cute Panda was interacting with the players from the two teams, the fans on the sidelines looked envious and wished they could be one of them.
In addition to changing the mascot, there is also the design of the new jersey, which Wang Zelin also participated in.
The home team's jersey follows the color structure of Celestial Red. The red jersey is inlaid with dragon scales in gold, the team emblem is printed on the chest, and the number on the back is also a dragon scale pattern.
In comparison, the visiting team's uniforms are much simpler and less flashy. They are mainly designed according to the colors of the mascot Panda. The shoulders and neck and the bottom of the shorts are embellished with black, indicating that the rest of Panda's limbs are pure white.
After a series of pre-game activities ended, there were still a few minutes left before the game.
Wang Zelin returned to the bench and listened to Coach Terry's emphasis on tactics while looking at the opponent's players' ability evaluations.
"Rajon Rondo, 29 years old, 185 cm tall, 84 kg weight, overall player rating: 83..."
"Rudy Gayin, 29 years old, height 206 cm, weight 118 kg, overall player rating: 84..."
"Andrew Wiggins, 20 years old, height 203 cm, weight 95 kg, overall player rating: 85...???"
Damn it, the entire second-year player evaluation has reached the All-Star level. Is this really reasonable?
To be honest, Rondo and Gai Yin are okay. They are at their peak at 29 years old, and their strength is normal between accurate stars and the edge of All-Stars.
But he clearly remembered that when he played against the Kings for the last time at the end of last season, Brother Zui's ability rating was only 81, which was just at the level of a quasi-All-Star. In just one summer, he became an All-Star.
Other ability attributes, such as Zui Ge's outside defense, mid-range shooting, ball control, layup and many other ability scores have improved a lot compared to last season. At the same time, he has gained 4 kilograms, and his physical confrontation is also estimated to have improved a lot.
Sure enough, if you have talent, you can do whatever you want!
The development trajectory of Wiggins, who was given high hopes in the Kings, has been separated from Wang Zelin's memory. If this continues, he will indeed be much better than waiting to die in the Huskies in the original time and space. Moreover, judging from his physical talent, it will not be difficult for him in the future. Rule out the possibility of becoming a superstar.
Of course, the premise is that Wiggins must maintain a positive and enterprising heart and never touch the wolfberry thermos cup.
Now, as Wiggins grows up, there is obvious overlap in functions and positions with Gai Yin on the court. Next, the Kings must make a choice. As expected, Gai Yin will be traded away in exchange for a reliable player. High-quality insiders.
In this way, the Kings can completely build a season-long lineup around Rondo + Wiggins + a quasi-All-Star insider, supplemented by good puzzle pieces such as Collison, Belinelli, and Mike Lemore. Substitute lineup for the playoffs...
This is Wang Zelin’s own opinion.
As for what the Kings will think, that's anyone's guess.
After all, the Kings management team is also famous for its clever thinking. No matter what tricks the opponent will do next, he will not be surprised.
However, now Wang Zelin is looking forward to Wiggins' matchup with James in the new season. As we all know, Brother Zui always goes berserk when playing against the Cavaliers. He now wants to know what the future limit of Brother Zui will be if the team focuses on cultivating Brother Zui who throws away the thermos cup. How high will it go?
At 19:08, the referee signaled the two teams to start.
For the Trail Blazers, the starting five of Lillard, Barton, Batum, Aldridge and Wang Zelin will play.
For the Kings, the starting lineup of Rondo, Wiggins, Gayin, Omi Casspi, and Costa Koufos appeared.
After Wang Zelin came on the court, he went to the center circle and jumped the ball, helping the Blazers gain the initiative in the first attack without any suspense.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
On the first attack, there was no problem. The ball was handed to Wang Zelin. The entire Rose Garden Arena suddenly boiled, completely overwhelming the opponent with momentum.
In the short corner area on the right, Wang Zelin received the ball and turned his back to the frame. He knocked Koufos away continuously, turned around in stride, reached the basket, jumped hard, and violently hit the basket with both hands.
"boom!"
The Trail Blazers took the lead and got off to a good start.
"Invincible! Invincible!"
All the home fans stood up and cheered wildly for the team.
Outside the three-point line, Wiggins looked at Wang Zelin who easily destroyed the team room under the basket, and then looked at the flushed Blazers fans around him. His eyes gradually became firmer, and he felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
Offense and defense transition.
Rondo controlled the ball for half the game, and was about to reach out to signal for tactics, when a roar came from his ears.
"Give me the ball!"
Rondo was startled, but when he saw that the person who made the sound was Wiggins, he stuffed the ball directly.
Young people always like to be in the limelight, and Director Long expressed his understanding.
What's more, after he was traded, the Kings management said that this is Wiggins' team, and what he needs to do is to help the latter accelerate his growth.
But what Rondo didn't notice was that his move aroused a bit of dissatisfaction from the weak side Gai Yin, because he was about to reach out and ask for it, but Wiggins beat him to it.
Coupled with this summer, the team frequently broke out rumors that they wanted to hand over their own rumors, which made Gai Yin even more dissatisfied with the team.
"Snapped!"
Taking the ball outside the left three-point line, Wiggins was defending Patton. As soon as Patton came up, Wiggins quickly took the first step and successfully broke through from Patton's left side.
It's not that Barton can't defend well, on the contrary, his defense is definitely above the league's outside level. Unfortunately, he encountered Wiggins who dropped the thermos cup.
This goal is purely a talent gap, not an attitude problem!
After passing the defender, Wiggins went straight to the basket. After encountering Aldridge's defense, he still chose to take off and rush to the basket.
A scene that made people say "fuck" happened. Aldridge, who was clearly dominant in both height and weight, failed to block Wiggins' momentum...
"boom!"
Hard bridge and hard horse dunk from behind, the ultimate display of physical talent.
I'm going to be nice, this is Brother Zui after throwing down the thermos cup, it's really scary.
Wang Zelin, who was one step late in making up the defense, just watched helplessly as his teammate was brutally dunked by Wiggins, with a bit of shock in his eyes.
Apart from shock, he was even more angry.
Not only Wang Zelin, but also other teammates and the audience on the court.
Don’t forget, this is a rose garden!
