……

Whether it is Karl Malone's ability or Sabonis' ability, Wang Zelin has inherited them all.

From the old O'Neal player card in the Celtics period, and after drawing more than a dozen player cards one after another and combining them, Wang Zelin's comprehensive strength score finally reached 94 points!
Looking at the entire league, among the active center players, Wang Zelin is the strongest and has the highest rating.

At this moment, he finally had enough confidence to say:
Who else?
Finally, he took another look at the current remaining fans, which was impressively displayed as:
7243 million!
The impact of a bronze medal is beyond Wang Zelin's imagination.At this time, more than a month has passed since the World Cup, but the news of the men's basketball team breaking the record and winning the bronze for the first time still dominates the headlines of domestic media, and it has not come down for a long time.

However, he always felt that this gust of wind would soon pass.

Because, just yesterday afternoon, half of the Chinese music world just announced in the bib:

On the 13th of next month, I will release the first title song of the new album "Born to Wander"!
Hmm...according to Wang's hot search spell, which is widely circulated in the entertainment circle of China, if there are no major accidents, it won't be long before there will be new melons to eat in the country.

well, let's get back to business.

Arrived at the arena to practice all morning.

After lunch at noon, Wang Zelin was called by Coach Terry.

"Wang, our opponent in the opening game of the regular season is the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the words of your Celestial Dynasty, this is a good start and must be won. Moreover, the Thunder had already reported on the 12th that Durant had a fractured bone in his right ankle. According to previous cases, even after undergoing surgery, it will take 6 to 8 weeks to recover, so when playing against the Thunder..."

Coach Terry began to analyze the current situation of the Thunder in the new season, and Wang Zelinzhe nodded beside him.

Speaking of which, Thunder is also unlucky.

Last season, Westbrook was on and off. In the new season, everyone was united and focused on re-attacking the finals. As a result, the top player Kevin Durant was injured when the regular season of the new season started.

Moreover, the fracture of the right leg bone is not a minor injury. First, it will take nearly two months of rehabilitation, and secondly, after recovery, no one can say how long it will take Durant to adjust to his competitive state.

Speaking of which, the top executives of the alliance should also be speechless at this time.

According to the tradition of the NBA, the opening game of the regular season must be a scene of strong confrontation. However, they have just set up the stage this year, and one of the two protagonists in charge of singing was injured in advance.

With one less Kevin Durant, only Xiao Wang's Thunder team is left in the Wang Zha combination. No one thinks they will be the opponents of the Trail Blazers.

It also means that the opening game that has attracted much attention this year is basically nothing to watch.

For the Thunder, Durant's sudden fracture really interrupted their original plan for the regular season.

Their original plan was to guarantee the top 4 in the Western Conference. If possible, they also wanted to compete for the Western Conference regular season championship.

Fortunately, now that Durant is injured, the dream of winning the regular season in the Western Conference has long been in vain. It has become a difficult task to keep the top 4 in order to hold the home court advantage in the playoffs.

Although the next words are not pleasant, it must be said that Durant will miss at least one month of games. For other teams, especially the Western Conference powerhouses, this is indeed good news.

The competition for the playoffs in the West is already fierce, and it is not even ruled out that the management of some fringe teams in the playoffs has sprouted dark ideas.

It is best for Durant to miss the entire regular season directly, so that they will have greater hope, and the crazy west will break out.

Among them, the management of the Sacramento Kings is harboring such thoughts at this time.

You know, the Kings have not made the playoffs once in 8 seasons.Before that, it was even complained and dissatisfied by Kings fans.

But this summer, all the Kings fans are boiling.

Because, their management finally did a personnel matter, using Cousins, the stupid big man who always loses his temper and keeps on off-court, in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, who is known as a talent comparable to LeBron James.

For the upcoming 2014-205 season, Kings fans can't wait. They have foreseen that under the leadership of the super talented Wiggins, the Kings will return to the playoffs.

As for Cousins' feelings?

Stop it.

Who cares about that data brush.

There is one thing to say, the Kings management will always be compared with the Magic management by many fans in the future, and the two teams will be called "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young!"

Little did they know that if they looked into it carefully, how could their environment be better if they had such a management team?

Even after the super rookie Evans, who beat Ku and Ha in his rookie year and was comparable to Jordan and James, was discarded by the Kings, the Kings, from the management to the fans, all chose to trade Evans away without hesitation.

What's more, in the 4 years of the Kings, except for the data getting better every year, DeMarcus Cousins ​​​​has no achievements in the team...

Having said that, Wang Zelin suddenly remembered.

The current player structure of the Kings is really good. From the looks of it, it is true that it is full of talent.

After trading away Thomas Jr. and Cousins ​​in July and August, the Kings still retain Rudy Gay, who has been selected for 20+ clubs all year round and a scorer. In addition, Darren Collison, who was just acquired from the Clippers, and Wiggins, the Kings' starting positions 1, 2, and 3 have both potential and immediate combat power.

I just don't know, will Wiggins go the old way of maintaining a healthy Mamba when he arrives at the Kings?

At this moment, Wang Zelin was full of curiosity about the strength of the Kings.

Don't get me wrong, he's definitely not thinking about how to abuse his rookie year, he just wants the young people to experience the dangers of society in advance, so that they can gain some experience in dealing with strong teams.

……

……

Time passed day by day, individual special training, team training, internal confrontation, tactical running-in...

Until October 10th, the league's new regular season is about to start.

There are three games scheduled for the day.

Last season, the champion Trail Blazers played at home against the Thunder, one of the top powers in the Western Conference.

It's a pity that this game hasn't started yet and everyone knows that the Thunder team without the king is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Trail Blazers!

By Xiaowang Westbrook?

Don't make trouble, let alone whether his strength has reached Durant's level. Facing the defending champion Trail Blazers, unless the three cores of the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin, Aldridge, and Lillard, all feel cold tonight, otherwise, it is basically useless for the Thunder to come back.

The other two games are:

The San Antonio Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks, and the Los Angeles Lakers host the Houston Mosaics.

The biggest highlight of the second game is naturally the matchup between the two legendary power forwards Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki.

As for the last game between the Lakers and Mosaic, there are many things to watch.

What is the strength of the new Big Three of the Lakers?

The grievances and hatreds of F4 in the past...

How does James Harden, the number one shooting guard of the new generation, and Kobe Bryant, the king of the old era, attack each other!
It has to be said that the league has racked its brains to arrange these three games.

For the Trail Blazers, due to the hot market last season and their status as the defending champions, the Trail Blazers have achieved a very good number of all-match games this season.

The number of all-meter live broadcasts is the most important data to show the attractiveness of a team, and through the all-meter live broadcast channel, the team and players can get great exposure and direct benefits in a short period of time.

2014~2015赛季，开拓者队拿到了35场全米直播场次，仅次于湖人队的38场以及……纽约尼克斯的39场。

I have to admit that New York is indeed a unique place, no matter how badly they play, they are still treated like the sons of the alliance.

By the way, the most intuitive change that James has brought to the Cavaliers after returning to Cleveland is that the number of all-meter live broadcasts of the Cavaliers this season has climbed from 7 games last season to 25 games at the speed of the Rockets.

Ranked sixth in the league!

The power of Alliance No.1 is terrifying!
18:[-] in the evening.

"Nicola, did you perform well in the preseason!"

In the locker room of the home team, Wang Zelin sat next to Jokic and checked the equipment.

"well enough."

Jokic smiled shyly.

Jokic played all 5 games of the Trail Blazers preseason, and except for the first Yanjing Tour, the remaining 4 games, the starting center position of the Blazers was all played by Jokic.

As for Adams' feelings.

Sorry, competitive sports, strength speaks for itself.

Here I have to admire that the inside big men produced in Europe are really skilled enough, let alone a talented player like Jokic who has the potential to hit the MVP of the regular season in the future.

Adams' upper limit, and Jokic's upper limit, are not at the same level at all.

There is a saying: Some people spend their whole lives trying to get to Rome, and some people live in Rome all their lives.

Facts have proved that even a teacher who landed in the NBA a year earlier than Wang Zelin remembered, his rookie year has surpassed Adams in the second grade.

In the last time and space, if it weren't for his own weight problem and the contract problem in Europe, Jokic, the essence of human pork belly, probably wouldn't have been delayed for a year before landing in the NBA.

打了5场季前赛，场均24分钟上场时间，拿到11分7.4板2助攻1抢断的数据。

对比之前，同样是打了5场季前赛，上场时间也超过了20分钟，而亚当斯的数据却只有6分5板1助攻1盖帽的数据。

Therefore, after 5 preseason games, Jokic basically replaced Adams and became the Trail Blazers' first backup center in the new season.

"Boss, what are my chances this season?"

Jokic thought for a while and asked cautiously.

"It depends on the performance of our opponents. If the opponent is unable to resist and surrenders early, you will have more playing time. If the game is very stalemate and the opponent is strong, then you may not be able to get a minute."

Wang Zelin joked with a smile.

"Ah! Then, I..."

Jokic hesitated and hesitated, at a loss.

"Haha," Wang Zelin patted Jokic on the back immediately, and said, "I'm kidding you. Don't worry, the team is looking forward to your potential, and your playing time in the new season is definitely guaranteed. Of course, if you are strong enough, it is not impossible to take my starting job."

Jokic nodded, relieved.

How does the current Jokic know that he can achieve such high results in the future? His biggest goal at this stage is to gain a foothold in the NBA.

As for Wang Zelin's last sentence of "grab the starter", he selectively blocked it.

Are you kidding me?
How can I be able to compete with the active No. [-] center for the starting lineup.

He even felt that unless he stopped playing for the Trail Blazers, he might not be able to compete with Wang Zelin for the starting position in his life.

At this time, the door was knocked open.

Coach Terry pushed the door open and walked in.

"Boys, warm up for the first game of the new season!"
