NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 535 Rookie, welcome to the NBA!

"It's a pity, it's only 1 assist and 2 blocks, alas."

Zhang Lili sighed.

"Haha, for Zelin now, the 5×5 data is not that important anymore, the important thing is victory! It's the championship!"

Yu Jia laughed.

After speaking, the two couldn't help laughing.

On the TNT live broadcast, Kenny Smith said:
"Judging from this game, Wang Zelin, the leader of the Trail Blazers, has shown a new skill package. This young man has become stronger again! And as long as he becomes stronger, it means that the overall strength of the Trail Blazers has improved compared to last season!"

"Kenny, I agree with you, Wang Zelin is stronger. The only pity is that due to the absence of KD on the Thunder team, we can't see where Wang Zelin's limit is today." Barkley said.

"Generally speaking, the two sides in today's game are not at the same level of opponents at all. It is completely expected that the Trail Blazers got off to a good start. We saw Terry Stotts trying to play one inside and four outside tactics, and as far as they are concerned, their tactics are running very successfully. Now, I am very much looking forward to the game between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers on November 11."

Kenny Smith laughed.

"It's a coincidence, that's what I thought too."

Looking at each other, Barkley also smiled.

Since the remnant Thunder can't force out the perfect Wang Zelin, what will happen when his opponent becomes the Cavaliers and LeBron James, who are also the favorites for the championship?

As early as during the NBA preseason, it was ESPN's new season championship predictions. The Cleveland Cavaliers had a 47.2% probability of winning, ranking second only to the Portland Trail Blazers at 2.

When the final whistle blew, the reporters next to them could no longer care about discipline and strode forward. According to NBA rules, they were fined several thousand meters for illegal interviews. Their purpose was only one:
Got a first-hand interview!
Even the people from American Cable TV and Court TV, who had the opportunity to interview on-site after the game, were squeezed away by this group of crazy reporters.

A big victory over the Thunder by 21 points!
The opening game of the Trail Blazers can be described as a hang.

And the top card, Wang Zelin's performance of 27+13+4+3 is impeccable.

The most important thing is that Wang Zelin only played less than 30 minutes to get the data.

This is why the reporters are not crazy.

Wang Zelin only noticed when the final whistle sounded. He was only short of 1 assist and 2 blocks, and he was able to complete the crazy performance of 5×5 in the opening game.

However, as Mr. Yu Jia said, what he cares most about is the team's victory. As for whether the statistics are good or not, it is actually more of a icing on the cake embellishment.

However, before he could think about it, the reporters had already surrounded him...

On the other side of the bench, when the final whistle sounded, Westbrook got up and wanted to interview reporters who had nothing to do, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.When he was about to enter the player tunnel, he stopped and looked back at the direction of Wang Zelin who was surrounded by reporters.

This scene happened to be captured by a reporter who was not interviewed by Westbrook. The micro-expression on the zoomed-in close-up is probably a transition from bewildered, to unwilling, to determined...

Anyway, he has already figured out what his post-match title will be?

But this time, the reporter read the micro-expression correctly.

After staring at Wang Zelin for a few seconds, Westbrook turned around and walked into the player tunnel without looking back.

"It's just an opening game? The regular season is long. Even if Kevin is injured, I can still lead the team to the playoffs... I will fight again next time, and I won't lose again!"

……

……

After the game, the media went crazy. First, there were post-match interviews, and then several major media temporarily requested interviews... After a long time of tossing, it was almost 12 o'clock in the morning before the end of the post-match affairs, and it was already past 12 o'clock when I returned home.

Along with him was Zhou Lin'an who came back with him after the interview.

At home, Zhou Linan put the footwashing water in the thermostatic bathtub, and Wang Zelin soaked in the bathtub, his pores opened and he made a comfortable sound.

"Zerin, are you still tired?"

Zhou Lin'an sat in the back, put her hands on Wang Zelin's temples, and massaged gently.

"Fortunately."

Wang Zelin suddenly turned around, his eyes wandering unscrupulously on Zhou Lin'an's body, this woman's uneven body curves would bring him strong emotional fluctuations every time.

Especially dolphin, every time Wang Zelin sees it is like seeing high-quality stocks, he can't help but want to buy shares.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Feeling Wang Zelin's burning gaze, Zhou Lin'an slowly lowered her head.

Wang Zelin looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and couldn't help it on the spot...

Said: "Lin An, I'm hungry!"

Zhou Lin'an was taken aback for a moment, blushing and just about to say something when she suddenly left the ground.

"what!"

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the bathtub.

"Ah~~ No, I'll do it myself..."

After a few minutes.

Zhou Lin'an gave up struggling, but cared: "Why don't we change the place, this place is full of shower gel, it's very slippery, don't fall down."

Wang Zelin was right when he thought about it.

Don't you see, in the future, Wall slipped and fell in the bathroom at home and tore the Achilles tendon of his left leg. The number one point guard who played against Irving in the Eastern Conference was almost about to retire on the spot.

This kind of thing is outrageous.

But it actually happened...

It's very sad!
after an hour.

Wang Zelin was lying on the bed, and Zhou Linan buried his head in his neck.

"Lie down on the side, I can't breathe..."

"I won't!"

Zhou Lin'an murmured.

……

After half an hour, Wang Zelin finally got her down.

The two leaned together, embraced and slept.

the next morning.

Finish your morning workout.

Zhou Lin'an said: "I have already applied to our leader. After a while, I will become a team reporter for the Trail Blazers, and I will be able to accompany you better then."

Wang Zelin listened with his ears, but his hands kept moving.

"what!"

Zhou Linan suddenly let out a scream.

Then, pursing his mouth, he looked at Wang Zelin with resentful eyes, and the latter looked embarrassed.

"Ahem, accidentally, too hard."

Zhou Linan: "???"

"It's you, go back and exercise more, your endurance is too poor."

Zhou Lin'an: "..."

It was another day without shame or impatience, and it just passed.

11 month 1 number.

game day.

At noon that day, Wang Zelin joined the team, boarded the team's special plane, went to Sacramento, and entered the rhythm of the game.

Tonight's opponent is the Kings, a notoriously weak team in the league, coupled with the lack of time, so the coaching staff did not arrange pre-match training, but let the players arrange their own time.

Arrived in Sacramento.

Wang Zelin came to the floor of a high-end apartment building in a wealthy area, and got in touch with Ajiali, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Ajiali, we should go, there will be a game in a while."

After two hours, Wang Zelin took advantage of everything.Of course, it's only limited to a little hand addiction. After all, there are games tonight, and he doesn't want to have a performance breakdown during the game.

"Ah."

Ajiali was so weak from being teased by Wang Zelin, she responded softly.

17 pm.

When the media saw Ajiali, the daughter of the owner of the Kings, get off Wang Zelin's Humvee, they immediately snapped their faces.

As the figures of the two appeared on the training ground.

Wang Zelin vaguely heard a series of broken hearts.

Look across.

as predicted.

The king's players on the field are staring at themselves with extremely complicated eyes.If eyes can kill a person, I'm afraid he has been pierced by thousands of arrows by now.

"Hey, Ajiali, I'm going to warm up, we'll be tonight after the game, hey..."

Wang Zelin took advantage of the situation to give Ajiali a hug, and then glanced at the opposite side provocatively.

"Crash! Crash..."

The familiar voice sounded again, and a bunch of glass hearts shattered again.

before the game.

The two sides announced the starting lineup.

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.

Kings: Darren Collison, Rudy Gay, Andrew Wiggins, Carl Landry, Jason Thompson.

Speaking of which, tonight is obviously a game without any suspense.But judging from the attention given by the major media before the game, the heat of this game is extremely high.

the reason is simple.

Everyone wants to see, as the only new top pick in NBA history who was traded by his home team without a game, how will he perform against the defending champion?
As for how the Kings will be ravaged tonight?
Sorry, no one cares about this.

And on April 10th.

The Kings played the Warriors in the opening game and lost to their opponents 77:95 away.

Among them, the high-profile new champion Wiggins performed well.

首战出场34分钟，全场17投9中，拿到了23分4篮板1助攻1抢断4失误3犯规的数据。

Judging from the previous champions from 2020 to the present, Wiggins' debut performance is not only not bad, it can even be said to be slightly amazing.

The only regret is that he failed to lead the King to defeat the Warriors.

Sitting on the bench, Wang Zelin took a look at Wiggins' strength and found that he was not bad, with a comprehensive score of 76 points, which is a proper NBA starter.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is quite normal.

In the original history, after Wiggins was traded to the Timberwolves, he did receive key training from the Timberwolves management at the beginning, and his performance in the past three years generally showed an upward trend step by step every year.

从新秀赛季的16+4+2，到二年级的20+3+2，再到第三年的23+4+2。

At least in the first three years of my career, I am absolutely worthy of being the No. [-] pick in the draft.

It's a pity that no one thought that this guy would go astray since then, evolving towards a healthy mamba.

well, let's get back to business.

The game is about to start.

In the live broadcast of the imperial court, Yang Yi said: "The kings are also very unlucky. They were supposed to sit back to back tonight, and they were born with a lack of physical fitness. They also met the defending champion Blazers every day."

"Hey, even if all the members of the Kings are physically fit, no one thinks that there will be any suspense in tonight's game. Instead of thinking about the game, it's better to say that the media present tonight are all expecting Wiggins to fight the Warriors together and score another 20+ on the Trail Blazers."

Beside, Wang Meng said.

Yang Yi shook his head immediately: "But to be honest, the overall defensive strength of the Trail Blazers is not comparable to that of the Warriors. Wiggins wants to score 20 points, it's difficult!"

"I accept your words." Wang Meng smiled.

After a while, the starters came out.

The starting players of the two teams meet at the entrance of the tunnel.

"Hey rookie, how many points are you going to lose tonight?"

As soon as we met, Batum yelled arrogantly, staring blankly at Wiggins.

Not surprisingly, his opponent for a while is the new champion Wiggins.

Before the game, he specifically found the game video of the Kings playing the Warriors and watched it.

In the end, I have to admit that Wiggins' physical condition, even among a large group of flying machos in the league, is one of the outstanding few.

If someone can become the champion, there is hard goods.

What is commendable is that Wiggins not only plays with his body, but also has a certain basket.

Who's to say it's not stable, but at least he can shoot open positions.

You know, Wiggins' debut performance in this time and space is much better than the 8 points and rebounds in the original time and space.

考虑到03白金一代领军人物詹姆斯的NBA生涯首秀也不过是25分6个篮板9次助攻4次抢断的数据。

Wiggins' 23 points and 4 rebounds are really not bad.

Therefore, in order to avoid overturning at night, Batum asked just now. His purpose was to mess up Wiggins' mentality in advance.

However, he did not expect it.

Wiggins on the opposite side seemed to react a little slower, as if he didn't notice Batum's provocation, but instead showed a naive smile.

Then, he said to Batum seriously: "You are wrong, I think we will win tonight."

This reaction immediately made everyone present speechless.

"Hahahaha!"

As teammates, Wang Zelin and Matthews couldn't help laughing.

"Nicholas, your trash talk is really nasty."

Matthews laughed.

Seeing Batum's constipated expression, everyone's laughter became more joyful.

Soon, the visiting team played.

"Shh!!!"

Arco Arena immediately sent out huge boos.

And when the home team played, there was a lot of shouts and cheers at the scene.

"Andrew, blow them up!"

"Andrew, take the No. 36 of the Blazers for a while!"

"come on! Come on!"

I have to admit that Wiggins' excellent debut has excited countless Kings fans.

It's like a person who walked in the desert for three days and three nights, when he was about to die of thirst, a pool of clear spring appeared in front of him.

It is hard to imagine that Wiggins, who has just played a game as a fledgling, has already gained great popularity here.

And all of this is due to the fact that Kings fans are too eager for a savior to appear, too eager for the home team to return to the playoffs...

"Hey! Is that kid on the other side so popular?"

Batum scratched his head in wonder.

"Let them be happy for a while, as much as they laugh now, they will cry as much as they cry!"

Wang Zelin shrugged indifferently.

Big deal, let’s give our Zhuangyuan Lang a good lesson and let him familiarize himself with the classic courses:
"Welcome to the NBA!"
