With 26 wins and 1 loss, the Trail Blazers' undefeated season was finally ended.
Wang Zelin, who has been lurking since the beginning of the season, finally gained the right to breathe on the Internet. All kinds of ghosts and monsters jumped out to accuse Wang Zelin of his faults.
Some say his style of play is too vicious, some say he doesn’t know how to help his teammates improve, and some say he is just a data brush and will do whatever it takes to win the MVP...
Anyway, for the sake of clicks, they even tell lies with their eyes open.
Wang Zelin doesn't pay attention to all the opinions on the Internet.
Rather than blabbering so much, it is better to play the last few games of 2015 well and let victory become the strongest weapon for counterattack!
After the back-to-back with the Kings, the next week's schedule is quite favorable for the Trail Blazers, with a wave of consecutive home games.
The opponents are also relatively average, namely the Nuggets and Nets.
After these two home games, the Trail Blazers will also officially usher in this season's Christmas Day opponent-the Houston Mosaic!
To be honest, it is estimated that the league president Bald Hua is now regretting that he arranged for the Mosaic team to be the opponent of the Trail Blazers at the beginning of the season.
The reason why such an arrangement was made was because at that time, all the top leaders of the league, as well as many outside media and fans, agreed that the Mosaic team, which reached third place in the Western Conference in the regular season last season, introduced Ty Lawson as their top team this summer. With the team's main point guard now in place and the team's strength strengthened, their competitiveness will undoubtedly rise to a higher level this season.
But who would have thought that the leader of the Mosaic team, Big Beard, would deteriorate so quickly, taking the Mosaic team from the top powerhouse in the Western Conference last season to an ordinary team that might not even make the playoffs.
However, as usual, the schedule for the Christmas game is usually arranged during the preseason, and now Bald Hua can't change it even if he wants to.
It can only be said that plans are not as good as changes.
For now, he can only hope that Harden's off-court life can be restrained before the Christmas game, so that the loss on the day of the game will not be too embarrassing.
…
Time flies and it’s December 21st.
That night, the Trail Blazers fought against the Jazz at home 109:96. Although the rest of the team tonight still felt average, fortunately, the state of the Jazz players was not as bad as the Kings players in the last game.
In the end, with Wang Zelin's stable performance of 45+18 double-doubles, the Trail Blazers refused to lose two consecutive games and successfully had the last laugh.
At the same time, the team's record also increased to 27 wins and 1 loss, continuing to lead the league.
On December 22, the Trail Blazers had a back-to-back battle with the Nets at home.
Since Joe Johnson was traded to the Heat not long ago, the strength of the Nets, which has lost its core generals, has declined again. The current record is only 8 wins and 20 losses, ranking at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
For the Trail Blazers, after two games of sluggishness, Lillard and others have improved somewhat. Together with the invincible Wang Zelin inside, the Trail Blazers launched their strongest offensive of the season tonight.
151 to 108, a back-to-back home victory over the Nets by 43 points.
151 points in a single game is also the highest score scored by the Trail Blazers on the spot this season. The Nets did not lose unfairly tonight.
After this game, the Trail Blazers ushered in two consecutive victories, and the team's record climbed to 28 wins and 1 loss.
Next, the Trail Blazers got three days of rest before their Christmas Day game.
…
The next day, the Internet and newspapers were full of news about the Trail Blazers' two-game winning streak.
Authoritative media in North America and domestic media are sparing no effort to praise Wang Zelin, talking about his leadership style, saying that team is supreme, and saying that he is the teacher of the king...
Compared with the past few days, the face of media experts has changed 180 degrees.
This is why Wang Zelin was too lazy to respond to the various criticisms online.
To put it bluntly, the essence of media people is that they will fall in whatever direction the wind blows!
This time, Wang Zelin also rejected media reporters who were licking their faces and looking for interview topics.
The Trail Blazers' schedule in mid-December was a little too dense. Not only did they fly from east to west in three days, but there were also consecutive back-to-back games. Now that Wang Zelin thinks about it, he can't help but want to complain, "Crazy!"
Now that he had a rare three-day break, he had to spend time with his women, but he didn't want to be harassed by the media anymore.
…
On the 23rd, Wang Zelin walked with Jenna in a busy shopping mall. The two held hands, just like an ordinary couple in love.
Because they were fully armed, Wang Zelin and Jenna were not recognized by many people.
Even if a few people occasionally recognized the most famous couple in Portland, they just watched from a distance and were very polite and did not come forward to disturb them.
In the city of Portland, Wang Zelin's current status is as high as that of the mayor himself. In the eyes of many Portland citizens, his reputation and popularity are even higher than that of the mayor.
In fact, in the short three or four years since Wang Zelin was selected by the Trail Blazers and played for the Trail Blazers, the results he has led the team to are too fantastic.
Two championships in three years, and now it looks like he is about to establish a dynasty!
A few years ago, even the boldest Portland citizens would not have dared to think of this kind of thing in their dreams.
Although Portland, the Rose City, ranks high in per capita income in the United States and has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the United States for many years, its sports development is actually relatively average.
Of course, these are just the general situation before Wang Zelin was selected.
In the few years since Wang Zelin was selected, the development of sports in Portland can be said to have ushered in the most glorious period in history.
This is a bit similar to the Chicago Bulls after the basketball cart and Michael Jordan were selected. One person became the glory of a city, and one person drove the development of a city.
It sounds exaggerated, but in fact, the influence of a superstar on a city is really that exaggerated!
What's more, Wang Zelin is still the number one newly promoted player in the league!
Therefore, every citizen here respects Wang Zelin very much.
And sometimes, not disturbing is the greatest respect!
It is precisely because Christmas Eve is approaching that the Portland Getta Mall is very busy. It is precisely because of Christmas that Wang Zelin and Jenna decided to go out to buy some things and relax.
"It's so rare that you still have time to go shopping with me when we are about to face the annual Christmas war!"
Jenna was very happy today because he hadn't gone shopping with Wang Zelin for a long time.
Not to mention going shopping together, due to work reasons, the two of them even spend much less time together than a normal couple in love.
Don't forget, as a member of the Kardashian family, Jenner is by no means just an ordinary vase. She also has her own career, and it's quite big.
If Wang Zelin remembers correctly, two years later Jenner will surpass Gisele Bundchen with $22 million (approximately 145 million yuan) to top the 2017 Forbes model income rankings.
Due to her relationship with Wang Zelin, Jenna's career development will undoubtedly be much faster than hers back then.
Even now, compared to most NBA stars, Jenna's annual income is only higher but not lower. This girl is definitely a super rich woman!
