NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 547 Jokic, who loses weight more and more
"Victory streak?"

Wang Zelin looked up at the reporter.

"Yes, are you confident that you will break the record of 13 consecutive victories at the beginning of last season?"

The reporter from the Portland Weekly newspaper on the opposite side nodded excitedly after noticing Wang Zelin's gaze.

"13 consecutive victories!"

Wang Zelin's mind flashed the picture of last season's regular season.It seems that his current career-high 51 points was set when he played the Bucks away.

"call!"

After the images of last season briefly flashed in his mind, Wang Zelin took the microphone and replied:
"Of course, it's not just me, but the Trail Blazers have been walking on the road to victory. As for whether you can break the 13-game winning streak you just mentioned, there will be a chance."

After answering this question, Wang Zelin answered a few more questions, and then it was time for the head coach and Lillard to ask questions.

The post-match press conference lasted more than half an hour before it ended.

"We're on a path to victory!"

After the game between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers, the official account of the Trail Blazers directly quoted a sentence from Wang Zelin's interview on social media as the headline to report on the game.

After the focus battle with the Cavaliers is over, the next game of the Trail Blazers is two days later, and they are still fighting at home against the Dallas Mavericks from afar.

The schedule at the beginning of this year's regular season is very beneficial to the Blazers. The first 5 games include 4 home games. The game against the Mavericks two days later is the last game of the three consecutive home games.

On the 6th, Coach Terry arranged a daily shooting practice.

Although Wang Zelin's current mid-range shooting ability has reached 92, and his long-range shooting ability has also reached 72, he can barely say that he has no dead ends after half-court shooting.

But training is inevitable. It doesn’t mean that if you don’t practice for a day, you will feel uncomfortable. It’s still a professional game. If you don’t train enough on weekdays, it will be difficult to perform well on competition day.

And he is still the boss of the team, not only on the court, but also off the court must set a good example.

Thanks to the fact that the boss is like this, the training atmosphere of the Trail Blazers has been maintained very well, which is not much different from last season, and even stronger than last season.

After all, the Trail Blazers in front of us are mostly young people, and the core players are young people. The main rotation ages like Beverly and Connett Lee are not that old.As we all know, a young man's physical fitness is already durable, and his recovery speed is amazing.

The newly joined new aids Vince Carter and Anthony Morrow have not tasted the taste of a championship so far in their careers.After joining the defending champion Trail Blazers, one of the best in the league, he is full of expectations for winning the first championship of his career.

At present, the Trail Blazers have four games in their schedule, and they have won all four games. The confidence on the players' faces has grown stronger.

Just like what Wang Zelin said in the opening game, this year, they aim to be champions!

After the training, the old Carter was still there chatting with the young Will Barton, apparently teaching the latter three-point skills.

At this time, Wang Zelin, who was sitting on the bench drinking cold water, looked at Carter and Will Patton, who were willing to teach and learn, like a picture of a good teacher and helpful friend, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

I have to mention something here.

In the early 21st century, the league's four major shooting guards in Southern Mai, East Isico, and North Carolina, looking back on their careers, whether it is the personal honors or the heights achieved by the team, Vince Carter is undoubtedly the one with the lowest achievements in the world.

But as one of the four shooting guards, Carter naturally has his shining points.

If it is said that Carter's most impressive label in the fans and media impressions was the dunk, then as his career got longer and longer, Carter's real survival in the league was not dunks, but three-pointers.

In 0202, which has not yet passed through, after Iverson, Tracy McGrady, and Kobe Bryant have retired one after another, only Vince Carter is still active in the NBA among the four former shooting guards.

Whether it is recalling youth, some fans still paid attention to Vince Carter's game at that time.

It was also on March 0202, 3, that Vince Carter, who had been reduced to an insignificant substitute role in the league, made the headlines of major news media.

In the Hawks' home game against the Grizzlies, Carter, who played for the Hawks, played 6 minutes and made 4 of 1 three-pointers and scored 3 points.

It is also this three-pointer that allowed Carter to hit 2282 three-pointers in the regular season of his career, tying the previous NBA player Jason Terry, and rising to the sixth place in the NBA's history of three-pointers!
Therefore, the label of dunk has stayed on Carter for too long, and it has been completely solidified even in the minds of fans, so that people have intentionally or unintentionally ignored Carter's three-point ability.

Although this is the same as Carter's long NBA service life, it can be said that he has been in the NBA for so many years and can set a record of his own in the long history of the NBA, which is not too low.

After sitting for 5 minutes, seeing that Carter and Will Patton were still immersed in teaching, Wang Zelin didn't bother them, but came to another half of the field and stayed for extra practice as usual.

After more than an hour of practice, both Will Barton and Carter left.

Wang Zelin was also sitting on the sidelines to rest. He had just taken a sip of water when he saw the gate of the training ground being pushed open and someone came in.

who can that be?

Looking back, it turned out to be Jokic, this guy hasn't left yet?
Wang Zelin also noticed that Jokic's training clothes were soaked at this time. It seems that he was responsible for the movement in the gym just now. He is probably doing weight loss training.

"Nicholas, have you left yet?"

Jokic came to the side and sat down, Wang Zelin handed over a bottle of Happy Fat House, oh no, it was Gatorade.

"Gudu! Gudu! Gudu!"

Jokic took a deep breath before putting down Gatorade.

It is really strange to say that Jokic is really strange. It has been four or five months since he was selected in the draft to report to the Blazers, and he has been losing weight according to the requirements of the coaching staff on weekdays.

But Wang Zelin walked around him twice and looked at him carefully. According to his naked eyes, this guy's weight basically didn't change much from when he first came here.

"How much do you weigh now?"

Wang Zelin sat down and asked.

After all, Jokic's weight first affects his playing time, and secondly, it is directly linked to the quality of defense on the court.

When Jokic first came to the team to report for a physical test, Wang Zelin watched from the sidelines.He remembers clearly that Jokic weighed 274 pounds at the time.

What is this concept?
Converted into the more direct conceptual kilograms of most people, it is a full 124 kilograms.

Wang Zelin's current weight is only 138 kilograms. Even when he just participated in the draft, he was only in his early 130 kilograms.

Coming here is based on his height of 2 meters.

On the other hand, Jokic, with a height of 2 meters, has infinitely approached Wang Zelin's weight as a rookie. It is no wonder that when he first came to the team to report, the trainers in charge of the physical test couldn't help but carefully look at the fat white man in front of him after Jokic hadn't completed a physical test.

Maybe they were thinking: God, is today April Fool's Day?The guy in front of us is actually a quasi-NBA player!

There is also the impact of an overly bloated figure on the defensive end.

At present, Wang Zelin, who has slowly gained weight after two seasons, has reached 138 kg, but he still maintains a slender and strong figure. His angular muscles look like an ancient Greek statue, full of masculine beauty.

On the other hand, Jokic is fat visible to the naked eye!
As an important substitute for the Trail Blazers at the center position this season and in the next two or three years, such a weight is not necessary.

No wonder Wang Zelin asked this question.

At this time, Jokic's rapid panting slowly subsided.

"260 pounds!"

He looked up at Wang Zelin with some shame, and gave the answer.

"hiss!"

Wang Zelin felt a little toothache.

It took me 4 months to lose 14 pounds, which is a little over 6 kilograms.

You know, this is still a weight loss under the guidance of a special person...

This speed is not ordinary slow!

"Are you the kind of person who is born with a weight that makes you fat when you drink saliva?"

Wang Zelin couldn't help asking.

The Jokic in my memory waited for another year to land in the NBA after being selected by the Nuggets. He doesn’t remember being as exaggerated as he is now
Jokic shook his head: "When I just took a taxi, I weighed only about 242 pounds, but in Europe, the weight of 242 pounds can't stand in the paint at all, so I have to gain weight!"

Hearing this, Wang Zelin touched his chin subconsciously: It makes sense.

The European basketball world is dominated by big white bears. The offensive and defensive transition speed there is much fuller than that of the NBA. This leads to the first choice of insiders to be tonnage rather than speed. Without enough tonnage, it is impossible to play inside.

The environment determines the players, which is the same reason that with the change of the rules, the soil for the survival of traditional NBA centers is becoming less and less.

Eh, no!

In his previous life, Wang Zelin studied sports in high school, but when he was in college, he chose a modern educational technology major that had nothing to do with sports. As a result, after he went to college, his usual training volume fell off a cliff compared to his high school days.

This directly led to his weight gain of 30 catties in two years. Later, for some reasons, he decided to lose weight. He understands the pain of losing weight.

At the same time, he understands that as long as he is determined to lose weight, it is impossible to lose only 4 kg in 6 months.

What's more, Jokic also said that he himself is not the kind of physique to gain weight by drinking water, and there are professional trainers beside him.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, he understood himself, and ignored another equally important thing.

"Did you steal food after training?"

Wang Zelin then asked.

In fact, the most difficult part of losing weight is not practicing, but keeping your mouth shut.

"what……"

The decibels of Jokic's voice suddenly increased.

Sure enough, there are ghosts.

"Are you sure?"

As he spoke, Wang Zelin kept staring into Jokic's eyes with an inexplicable smile on his face.

He still can't forget the experience of being starved to wake up in the middle of the night when he was trying to lose weight in his previous life.

"Sometimes when I'm too hungry to sleep at night, I occasionally eat a little more..."

Jokic blushed more and more as he talked, he was embarrassed to look at Wang Zelin again.

"Oh, it's just a billion points!"

Wang Zelin continued to stare at Jokic, but his tone seemed particularly weird.

"Actually, I occasionally eat some hamburgers, chicken legs and so on."

As he spoke, Jokic picked up his bag from his side, and as soon as he opened it, a smell of meat came to his face.

Take it out and see that there are three big hamburgers. Look at it, it seems that there is still a glass of happy fat house water with the same amount in the middle of the hamburger.

This time, it's really Happy Fat House Water!
"???"

Wang Zelin was speechless for a while, is this the rhythm of you wanting to lose more and more fat?

Looking at Jokic, the latter's attention was all shifted to the hamburger in his hand, and then belatedly glanced back at Wang Zelin.

"Well, if I'm not here today, are you going to eat after training?"

Wang Zelin picked up a hamburger, opened it, and saw two thick slices of beef.

"..."

Jokic lowered his head, not daring to answer.

This situation is very similar to a gluttonous child who was discovered by the teacher after eating spicy noodles in class.

But after a while, he noticed something was wrong next to him.

How could there be a sound?

And this voice, why is it so similar to when I cook on weekdays?

"Ah! Wang, why did you eat it?"

When he looked up, he found that Wang Zelin was stuffing his mouth full of hamburgers, more than half of which went in one bite.

"Come on, come one too!"

Wang Zelin said and returned the bag to Jokic.

After getting permission, Jokic couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the burger and stuffed it into his mouth.

Well, he added chicken nuggets, crunchy.

A few seconds later, after Wang Zelin wiped off the juice from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Jokic who was enjoying himself, and suddenly showed an old father-like smile.

This guy is like a child who hasn't grown up.

Then, before Jokic extended his claws to the last hamburger, Wang Zelin patted Jokic's hand first, and then took the hamburger away.

Jokic looked at him suspiciously.

"I declare that the hamburger just now is the last one I will eat before the end of this season."

Wang Zelin said.

Without waiting for Jokic to reply, he started the class again, but this time the expression on his face became visibly serious:
"If your dream is the NBA and you want to stay in the Trail Blazers and win the championship with me, then you must never let me discover similar things. Otherwise, it is not ruled out that the team will send you to the Development League."

After hearing the "Development League", Jokic's expression became visibly tense.

Knowing to be afraid, there is still salvation.

"I will ask my dedicated nutritionist to formulate a more scientific and reasonable meal plan according to your situation. In this way, you will not be woken up hungry again when you go to bed at night. As for this, I will confiscate it."

After speaking, Wang Zelin put the last hamburger and happy fat house water into his bag.

Jokic glanced at it reluctantly, and finally nodded.

Wang Zelin is the boss of the team, and what the boss said is right.

Alas, it's just a pity that the last hamburger with the most amount and the most expensive price no longer belongs to me.

It's still a large cup of Coke, but it's gone.
