At noon on the 12th, the league officially announced the winners of the Eastern and Western Player of the Week for the latest week.
In the East, based on comprehensive data and record, the best player in the East this past week was awarded to the Celtics' new leader Isaiah Thomas.
During this period, Thomas led the Celtics to 4 wins in 4 games, with a very good record. In terms of personal data, he averaged 33.5 minutes per game and averaged 20.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks per game.
You know, this is an extremely short defender with a height of only 1.75 meters. It is not easy to perform like this.
Here in the West, there are still a few choices for the winner of the week.
Portland Trail Blazers' Wang Zelin, Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry, Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Trant and San Antonio Spurs' Kawhi Leonard.
First of all, looking at the team record, Leonard and Durant led the team with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the past week, while Wang Zelin and Curry led the team with 4 wins and 0 losses, which is superior in terms of record.
Therefore, Leonard and Durant can only be eliminated first, and the rest depends on the personal data competition between Curry and Wang Zelin.
In terms of personal data, Curry averaged 34 minutes per game, scoring 29.8 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 0.4 blocks. His performance was quite impressive.
It's a pity that he still lost. If he wanted to blame it, it was because his opponent was too perverted.
In the past week of games, Wang Zelin contributed an astonishing 58+25 in a single game. Coupled with the 44+17 against the Mavericks, his average per game reached a terrifying 38+19. Averaged 3.5 assists, 5.5 blocks and 0.75 steals.
In the end, Wang Zelin was naturally elected as the Western Conference Player of the Week this week.
…
In the evening, after having dinner with Kendou and Kelly, Wang Zelin's mind began to return to business.
There will be no games for the Trail Blazers until the 21st. The rest of more than a week allows the team to have a good rest and relax.
Of course, for star players, this period is not much easier than on match days.
During this rare season gap, they still have a lot to do. For example, you can take this opportunity to shoot advertisements, receive business, participate in some essential business activities, etc.
If you are a star among stars selected for the All-Star Game, you will have no time to spare, because it means that you will also have to participate in a series of official All-Star Weekend activities.
For example, Wang Zelin has entered this state now. After two days of fun, the next few days completely transformed into a real flying trapeze. Sometimes it was normal to take several flights a day.
This is probably something that many ordinary people would find difficult to understand. By 2019, according to an article written by an economist, almost 1 billion people in the country have never flown.
But this is also because Wang Zelin's fame is at its peak, and his ability to attract money is one of the best among active players, so the so-called "business" naturally increases.
Many times, if he doesn't look for these things, these things will come to him.
From advertising contract renewals to filming and attending commercial events, as well as some charity galas that seemed to improve his personality, all of them made him feel exhausted.
In fact, Wang Zelin is not so passionate about money now. The money in his account is enough to last him and his family for several lifetimes.
What's more, since entering the league, he has made some investments one after another based on his later memories.
First up is Bitcoin.
He clearly remembers that Bitcoin had two periods of emergence: one started from the end of 2012, and by the end of 2013, it rose from 2 or 3 meters to more than 1,000 meters, an extremely absurd and exaggerated increase of hundreds of times.
It wasn't until the relevant departments intervened that the heat dropped...well, it was hovering around a few hundred meters.
Another time is of course 2017, when Bitcoin will rise from around 1,000 knives at the beginning of the year to nearly 20,000 knives, an increase of almost 20 times!
Relying on the carnival in 2013, Wang Zelin successfully reached the legendary state of "when money reaches a certain level, it is just a string of numbers."
But who can have too much money?
Wang Zelin has already made preparations for the second wave of carnival in 2017, including a certain sound that will be launched in the second half of this year, which also contains his layout.
Once upon a time, Wang Zelin's dream was to be an ordinary charterer after retiring from the NBA.
Now, he has completed his original dream more than ten years ahead of schedule, so he does not have the "operational enthusiasm" like most players. Although he has a lot of business, it is much easier than James and Kobe.
…
After getting up at around 6 a.m. on the 13th and making a phone call with his parents who had just gone into the night in China, Wang Zelin started today's business activities - endorsement promotion for Anta Running.
As the most well-known spokesperson of Anta, he conducts promotions at least three times every year, at the beginning of the new season, the All-Star Weekend, and the beginning of the offseason.
In addition, he also has to help Anta promote Wang Zelin's personal peripheral products and the endorsement of a soda company... Although he doesn't drink it, he can't stand what others give him.
I was busy until 11 o'clock, and it was finally over.
Back at the hotel, Wang Zelin was just about to have something to eat when suddenly James sent a text message, saying that he would come to the hotel where Wang Zelin was staying soon.
It was almost lunch time, and the two agreed to meet at the coffee shop on the second floor of the hotel. Wang Zelin called Lillard and Aldridge, and James also made an appointment. They planned to have lunch together, and then discuss the All-Star opening show. rehearsal.
Half an hour later, James and Wade arrived at Wang Zelin's resort hotel together.
It should be said that they are indeed Mr. and Mrs. Janeway!
A few people were chatting while eating. James was quite good at being a good person, and Wade was not a taciturn person. The atmosphere was very good.
While eating, James finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and suddenly asked: "Wang, you see you have eaten and drank, please tell me what exactly we are going to perform this year?"
Upon hearing this, Wade also put down his fork and looked up at Wang Zelin.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin said: "Don't be anxious, man, just wait."
"Wait a minute? What are you waiting for?"
Lillard next to him was also a little confused.
James thought for a while and said: "Are you waiting for others? If that's the case, why not wait until we finish eating and immediately call everyone to gather in the arena."
The hotel where Wang Zelin stayed was not far from the ball that James rented for dance rehearsals, only a ten-minute drive away.
"I'm not talking about Paul and Andre, but another special guest."
"Special guest?"
x2
Seeing Wang Zelin's repeated insistence, James and Wade looked at each other and did not inquire further.
After taking a short break after lunch, James sent a text message to several other members of the dance group. The content was the same, and he sent them the address of the arena he had rented in advance.
Then, James, Wade, Lillard, Aldridge, and Wang Zelin drove two cars to the arena.
After parking the car, I found that Curry, Harden, Davis, George, and Drummond had already arrived and were talking and laughing at the door.
"Wang, I have enjoyed your performances in the past few years very much. I didn't expect to be able to join you this time."
After seeing Wang Zelin get out of the car, George and Drummond, new faces in the dance company, came up to express their goodwill.
"Thank you for your trust, welcome to join!" Wang Zelin extended his hand in a friendly manner and shook hands with the three new members one by one.
"King, we meet again."
At this time, another voice came, coming from Davis.
Turning his head, Davis was looking at Wang Zelin with a complicated expression.
To be honest, the reason why Davis chose to join the Eastern Conference team was inseparable from Wang Zelin.
It is true that Wang Zelin's dominance in the Western Conference is too strong, making it seem that all the stars in the Western Conference have no hope of winning the championship.
And Davis, as one of the new generation stars, was drafted in the same draft as Wang Zelin, so there will naturally be more comparisons between the two than others.
If you don’t compare, you don’t know. If you compare, you will be shocked.
Wang Zelin has already won many major honors, but what about Davis, who is the 12th No. 1 pick?
He hasn't even played in the playoffs yet!
This is indeed an embarrassing thing.
Originally, Davis thought that after joining the Bulls, he and Wang Zelin would only be rivals in the future, and they would only be destined to compete on the same stage.
But he never expected that under James's influence, he would unexpectedly agree to participate in the opening performance of this year's All-Star Game.
"Ad, you are welcome to join us!" Wang Zelin didn't think so much, said with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"I didn't expect that the two of us would have the opportunity to work together."
During the handshake, Davis looked at the man in front of him with emotion.
"Haha, there are still many days to come. Maybe there will be many opportunities like this."
While he was talking, a car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the arena.
"Who could this be?"
"Hey, are there any new members?"
"King, didn't you tell us that there were newcomers?"
The sudden vehicle made several people put down what they were doing and looked over.
After the car door was opened, I saw the person wearing a large Wang Zelin No. 36 jersey and a Trail Blazers championship cap.
Around his neck is a gold chain.
The lower body is a pair of baggy denim shorts.
The whole outfit looks very hip-hop style.
Looking at this guy's height, he is similar to Isaiah Thomas, who was just named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, but looking at his body shape, he doesn't look like an active NBA player!
Could it be that he is a retired player?
For a moment, Wade and James were even more confused.
Until this man came to Wang Zelin, looked at everyone carefully, took off his big sunglasses, and revealed a familiar oriental face.
At this time, players who had worked with Wang Zelin before, such as Lillard, Aldridge, James and others, immediately remembered who the person was.
Asia’s King of Pop Music—Jay Chou!
"Hey, you, it's not bad."
Hearing this familiar line, Wang Zelin couldn't help but smile: "Hey, brother Jie Lun, I'm so happy."
"Haha, of course I am happy to be able to work with the number one player in the NBA."
Wang Zelin glanced behind Jay Chou: "Why are you the only one and your sister-in-law didn't come?"
Jay Chou shook his head and said: "She is busy going to the fashion show and is still in New York. Actually, I don't understand what's so good about that thing. She might as well masturbate more."
"I heard that you, the Barbarian King, and the Sword Master are both thieves. Why don't we finish our dance practice later and have a solo?"
Wang Zelin said jokingly.
"Tch, come on, who is afraid of whom?"
Sure enough, after hearing the words "Barbarian King" and "solo", Jay Chou suddenly became confident and immediately said harsh words.
"Jay, we meet again! It seems that the special guest Wang mentioned before is you!"
At this moment, James took the initiative to come over and gave Jay Chou a warm hug.
As we all know, Xiao Gongju is a bit shy and usually feels a little embarrassed when meeting others for the first time.
But fortunately, James is the kind of person who can adjust the atmosphere anytime and anywhere. He has extremely high emotional intelligence, and the two have met several times before. So under James' introduction, Jay Chou and the new faces behind him, George, Davis, Drummond quickly became familiar with him.
In the end, the members of the dance troupe were finally decided. Together with Jay Chou, who finally arrived, there were eleven people in total, with Wang Zelin as the captain.
The number of performers in the all-star opening show has reached the highest level since the establishment of the "Kini Taimei Dance Company", and the number of members of the dance company exceeded double digits for the first time.
This also means that everyone must pay more attention to the next dance rehearsal.
Afterwards, a group of people entered the arena talking and laughing and began to warm up.
After the warm-up, when we arrived at the center circle of the stadium, eleven members gathered in a circle.
The members all looked at Wang Zelin and Jay Chou.
Wang Zelin is the captain, so naturally his opinions are the main ones.
Jay Chou, as before, still participated in the dance group's performance as a guest singer.
If nothing else, it was just a dance group performance, most likely from a single by the Asian pop king.
Looking at the looks from everyone, Wang Zelin didn't show off this time and gave Jay Chou a look. The latter understood it and took out the copied music score and the lyrics he translated and modified from his backpack, so that James and others could understand the meaning and background of the lyrics.
Then, the music started.
"If Hua Tuo were alive..."
After the song ended, everyone else was confused: "What is this song about? Why does it sound weird?"
But after listening to it a few more times, several people said a classic line at the same time...
A generous gift crab!
Because they found that they seemed to have, probably, maybe, maybe... heard something? !
After getting familiar with the melody, Wang Zelin used the screen projection connected to the computer to play the dance video on the USB flash drive.
There are two main versions. The first version is Jay Chou's Materia Medica MV video included in the album "Still Fantasy".
As for the other version, it is Liu Genghong’s version of Cao Gangmu aerobics that will be popular all over the country in the future.
After watching these two videos, everyone’s eyes immediately brightened!
Especially James, who has the most All-Star experience among them, could tell at a glance that such an uplifting melody coupled with the magical dance is perfect for the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend!
