NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 698 The era of Wang Zelin!

Chapter 698 The era of Wang Zelin!

"Karim, aren't you going to celebrate with them? This is Portland's moment!"

"I almost forgot, you are still one of their coaching staff!"

In the front row of the audience, watching the Blazers holding the trophy high, O'Neal said to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar jokingly.

Both are one of the legends of the Lakers and one of the legendary centers of the NBA. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal have always maintained a good perspective.

In fact, many people may not know that when he was just traded to the Lakers, O'Neal once learned skyhook from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also lamented O'Neal's angelic power, calling him like a heightened version of Barkley.

Of course, O'Neill did not inherit this magical skill. He is most well-known for his unparalleled overlord step. However, after learning from this experience, his hook technique under the basket has indeed improved a lot.

Due to the long-standing friendship between the two, when Fake Bar decided to become the new assistant coach of the Trail Blazers, which had eliminated the Lakers in the playoffs, many Lakers fans expressed their incomprehension and called him a "traitor".

"This is the moment of youth. I, a bad old man, should stop annoying people."

"Actually, after this season is over, I plan to resign."

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's expression was very emotional, he didn't have much memory.

The future alliance belongs to the young man Wang Zelin. He, an old guy who has retired for many years, should not steal the spotlight.

Although even if he wanted to grab it, he might not be able to grab it now...

"Resign? Why, I don't think you are doing well?" Ao Fat expressed his confusion.

"You should know that the reason why I chose to join the coaching team of the Trail Blazers was to teach Wang to inherit my mantle. Instead, I was taken aback by him, because the kid's growth rate is too amazing. I really don't know how high he can reach in the future!"

As he said that, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked back at O'Neill and said jokingly:

"Shaquille, I have a hunch that the king is not far from surpassing you! Even your title of the most dominant center will be fully inherited by him!"

"Haha, let alone you and me, maybe one day, he even surpassed Michael!"

After being ridiculed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal didn't show any anger, but he seemed very open-minded, and turned around and teased the god of basketball.

After retiring, even a proud shark has to admit that when evaluating the historical status of players, there is a Kobe difference between himself and Jordan... maybe more.

A Los Angeles 24, who asked not to be named, said: "Old man, are you polite?"

"Haha, what you said is indeed somewhat reasonable, the future is dominated by young people!"

Abdul-Jabbar smiled freely, then got up, and walked towards Russell. It was rare for him to meet Lord of the Rings. As a junior, he had to have a few words with Master Russell.

……

After the brief awards ceremony, Wang Zelin and his teammates said goodbye to the fans and returned to the locker room.

After all, there are so many people outside that it is difficult to really enjoy yourself. Only when you return to the locker room and the secret small space of the Trail Blazers, can the Trail Blazers celebrate wildly.

As soon as Wang Zelin returned to the dressing room, champagne sprayed from all directions in an instant!

The teammates who came back here one step earlier are ready, waiting for Wang Zelin, the hero who won the championship, to arrive.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"You guys are too much, why are all the spearmen spraying me alone!"

"Nicholas! You bastard, see if I don't teach you a lesson!"

In fact, Wang Zelin had already thought that he would be the target of everyone's bombardment as soon as he returned to the locker room.

But the joy after winning the championship was still affected, which caused him to be a little careless when he entered the door, and he didn't dodge it. As a result, his whole body was soaked in champagne.

Especially Jokic, a stinky boy, was not satisfied after spraying a bottle, so he ran to the back and opened another bottle.

But the champagne at this happy moment represents everyone's joy and blessings. Naturally, Wang Zelin is not angry. Since he has been sprayed all over his body, it is natural that there is no need to keep a low profile. Let it be over!

He quickly joined the celebratory team, quickly grabbed the champagne just opened in Jokic's hand, and swayed it around.

The staff on the side were conscientious and quickly handed goggles to the players to prevent the champagne that had been punished from splashing into their eyes.

After all, there have been unlucky cases of spraying champagne in the past, which caused players' eyes to be injured. This kind of thing must not be careless.

Tonight team owner Paul Allen spent a lot of money to celebrate winning the championship, and prepared 200 bottles of champagne, all of which are limited editions.

The price of each bottle is as high as 2000 yuan!

Just the champagne sprayed tonight is as high as 40 yuan!
Even in the 2017 finals in memory, after the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cavaliers to regain the championship lost in 2016, in the brief champagne celebration in the locker room, according to ESPN reporter Darren Rowell:

The Warriors team spent a total of 150 bottles of champagne with a unit price of 1200 yuan (approximately RMB 8155) for this locker room celebration, with a total value of 18 yuan (approximately RMB 122 million), creating the most expensive locker room carnival in sports history at that time.

But compared with tonight's Trail Blazers, it's nothing more than nothing.

It can only be said that Paul Allen is worthy of being the top five super rich bosses in the league, and he seems very rich in this respect!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Even though it was already 1 o'clock in the morning, the whole of Portland was still brightly lit, and many fans were singing and dancing on the street. At this moment, the city completely became a city that never sleeps.

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, the crazy fans finally went up, and the daytime belonged to the impatient media.

Although the shocking effect of the Trail Blazers sweeping the Cavaliers 4:1 this year is less than last year's 4:0 violent sweep of the Heat, the news that Wang Zelin defeated James for two consecutive years has already spread throughout the world with the news release!

Not only the United States, but basketball fans all over the world are discussing Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers, shocked by the series of incredible records they created this season.

70 wins in the regular season, second only to the second record in history of the 96 Bulls!
The highest 65 points in playoff history!
季后赛场均37+19,不亚于62总决赛贝勒爷的38+18!

Double team + scoring leader + DPOY + MVP + FM VP!

And... the sixth team in history with two consecutive championships!
There is no doubt that the entire NBA has entered the era of Wang Zelin!
