Chapter 1099 Little calculation and high emotional intelligence
"Nikola Jokic killed the Eastern Conference team!" the on-site commentator roared crazily.
The surrounding fans also fell into madness. Even NBA President Bald Hua was confused. He didn't expect that the Western Conference could come back at the last moment? And it was a buzzer beater by a rookie...
Are you sure this isn't a script?
Well, not really.
After all, as the leader of the league, he arranges scripts and so on. Without his nod, who would dare to do this. It can only be said that Jokic was really big-hearted at the last moment.
"This kid is going to reach the sky in one step!"
Next to him, Coach Terry looked at the data and saw 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal. Jokic's All-Star MVP award was now truly confirmed!
On the court, Wang Zelin rushed up excitedly, hugged Jokic, and stretched out a big hand to Jokic's head.
His hair is a bit short and hard, making it prickly to the touch. I need to let him grow his hair longer when he returns home.
Westbrook also joined in, and the Eastern All-Stars were all excited. Although it was only an All-Star game, it was still a very exciting and thrilling thing to witness the game with one's own eyes.
The five Eastern Conference All-Stars on the court were stunned for a while, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was guarding Jokic, was even more upset. If he had known he would not have defended back.
Is this the end?
Of course not. After Jokic hit the buzzer-beating three-pointer, there were 4.2 seconds left in the game.
Theoretically, the Eastern team still has hope of winning the game.
However, how can the Western team give up the meat in their mouths to others?
Since the Eastern team had no timeouts, the Western team adopted man-to-man defense. Wade received the ball in the backcourt and advanced while looking for James.
But he was helpless to find that James was currently entangled with Wang Zelin.
As the biggest star of the Eastern Team, Wang Zelin immediately targeted the old man, injuring his body crazily and not giving him a chance to make contact.
At this time, the Flash can only continue to push forward with his old arms and legs, but Venus Westbrook can't stop him. His muscles make his physical confrontation ability no less than Wade's, not to mention Wade who is entering the twilight years of his career.
.
In the last 4.2 seconds, Wade barely moved to the logo area in the frontcourt and had to take a long three-pointer in advance.
As soon as the ball flew halfway, time completely ran out.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the orange-red basketball in mid-air... with a "Duang" sound, it finally bounced out of the basket.
This kind of goal that is purely based on luck is difficult to score, not to mention the elderly Wade who is not good at three-pointers.
After watching his own shot, Wade was stunned for a while and kept shaking his head.
At his age, the All-Stars are playing less and less each year. The Eastern Stars have not beaten the Western Conference for five consecutive years. Who let the Western Team have that weird Wang Zelin?
This year was supposed to be the year when the Eastern Stars had the best chance of defeating the Western Conference Stars in the past five years. However, I never expected that a rookie would take away the opportunity.
In his rookie season, he won the MVP of the All-Star team. With this battle alone, Jokic is comparable to Wang Zelin and the ancient beast Chamberlain four years ago.
Because before this, only Chamberlain and Wang Zelin were selected to the All-Star Game in their rookie seasons in NBA history and eventually won the MVP.
Tonight, Jokic follows in the footsteps of his boss and becomes the star among the stars.
Especially the last one that was a sure winner.
After tonight, everyone already has a strong premonition that Nicholas Yue Jiqi's name will definitely quickly dominate the headlines.
…
…
At the Rose Garden Arena, the fans could not calm down for a long time.
The passionate start, the first three quarters of the offensive confrontation, the final contest with repeated plot reversals, Jokic's quasi-win... all of this makes people feel too dreamy!
The entire audience stood up collectively and kept shouting the name "Nikola Jokic".
After an unknown amount of time, when the voice gradually quieted down, the league president Bald Hua walked to the stage, looked at Wang Zelin and Jokic with complicated emotions, and then announced the result without any suspense:
"Congratulations to Nikola Jokic. He got a super triple-double of assists tonight, and finally hit a quasi-win to help the Western Conference overtake the score. He deserves an All-Star MVP award!"
The Rose Garden Arena once again erupted in enthusiastic cheers. From inside to outside, countless Portland fans made a unified voice at this moment:
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
There was another mutiny at home, but people didn't have any doubts, because as the bald man said, Jokic was indeed tonight's MVP.
A triple-double in his All-Star debut, a near-final victory, all of this couldn't be more perfect.
When the big white man from Serbia received the MVP trophy from Bald Hua, Wang Zelin was the first to give him a standing ovation.
Seeing this scene, Jokic's eyes suddenly became moist, because he knew very well that without Wang Zelin's support, he would not have been able to deliver such a perfect All-Star debut result.
At this time, the host hurriedly handed over the microphone: "Nicola, what do you want to say about winning the All-Star MVP?"
"It's a great honor to receive such an award. But I still want to say that this is not an honor that belongs to me alone, but an honor that belongs to the entire Western Conference Stars team. Everyone is an MVP tonight!"
"Finally, I would like to thank someone for supporting me."
After that, Jokic came straight to Wang Zelin, saw his eyes full of respect, and finally bowed deeply. When he raised his head again, he said slowly:
"Boss, it's great to have you!"
Wang Zelin didn't expect Jokic to show up like this, and he was quite relieved. He really didn't misjudge the person. Jokic, who was grateful, deserved what he did.
Speaking of which, the reason why Wang Zelin chose to support Jokic during the halftime break was not entirely due to his unilateral tendency to support Jokic. He still had some selfish motives.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As Jokic gradually grows up, and Aldridge’s personal strength has not really declined from its peak, when the latter comes back at the end of the season, the relationship between the two
Conflicts inevitably arise over location.
Wang Zelin knows very well how high Jokic's ceiling is. The honest and honest Serbian big man in front of him has a ceiling of MVP level!
As long as Jokic is willing to stay in Portland after his rookie contract ends, Wang Zelin will be confident that he can continue to maintain strong enough championship competitiveness for the Trail Blazers.
After all, Wang Zelin’s memory of future generations ends in 2020. He will not know about future NBA drafts, and naturally he will not be able to open his eyes.
Therefore, how to retain Jokic will become Wang Zelin's most important plan in the next one or two years, second only to competing for the championship.
But no matter what, the human heart is made of flesh after all.
Although Aldridge's upper limit is not as high as Jokic's, he and Aldridge have been teammates for longer, and their relationship will naturally be deeper.
Moreover, during his rookie season, under the hype of the media, the topic "Who is the boss of the Portland Trail Blazers?" between him and Aldridge was once hotly discussed by the outside world.
During the period when the team's morale was unstable, it ended with Aldridge taking a step back on his own initiative, thus ending this topic.
It was from then on that the Portland Trail Blazers officially entered the era of Wang Zelin!
When Aldridge returns from injury at the end of the season, it would be best if there is no positional conflict between him and Jokic.
But is this realistic?
Very blue and spicy!
As long as they play the same position and there is the possibility of competition, the conflict between the two is destined to be inevitable.
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.
But due to past relationships, Wang Zelin felt that he would be more inclined to stay with Aldridge, both in public and private matters.
But before that, Wang Zelin still had some thoughts, wanting to find opportunities to compensate Jokic more before Aldridge returned at the end of the season.
Tonight's All-Star MVP is Wang Zelin's biggest compensation for Jokic after discussing with Coach Terry and Lillard.
Otherwise, this year's All-Stars are fighting in Portland, and Wang Zelin doesn't plan to compete for this year's All-Star MVP. The second-tier contender should have Lillard's turn first, and even later.
In the platoon, Batum and Button were given priority, and Jokic was last.
For the sake of the overall situation, after Wang Zelin informed the other three main teammates and the head coach of his thoughts in advance, Lillard immediately agreed.
Director Li's ambition was so high that even Wang Zelin gave in. Naturally, he didn't bother to compete with his younger brother.
There was no dispute between the two cores. Batum and Button shrugged and glanced at each other. In fact, they both understood that their tactical status and role in the team this season was far less important than Jokic.
After only thinking about it for a while, the two of them chose to give up.
In the end, this award fell to Jokic.
Feeling the sincere gaze cast by Jokic, Wang Zelin felt relieved, but also flashed a trace of guilt.
But soon, he suppressed the trace of guilt.
He did make a small calculation against Jokic this time, but judging from the results, it was actually a win-win situation.
As far as Jokic is concerned, in his All-Star debut, he won the All-Star MVP honor that many NBA superstars can only dream of in their lives. It is definitely a bumper harvest.
As for the team as a whole, retaining Jokic is extremely important for the team's future development, because when Aldridge gets older, the team must have a third core to stand up if it wants to maintain its competitiveness for the championship. Jokic
Qi is the best candidate.
A gentleman does not care about his deeds!
Wang Zelin quickly convinced himself and gave Jokic a bear hug again, and then the two returned to the rest area talking and laughing.
Back on the sidelines, Hayward ran over with some envy, "Nicola, can I touch your trophy?"
As a rookie, he only played 7 minutes tonight and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. His performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, in line with the debut performance of normal All-Star rookies in the past.
Look at Jokic again. Just because he has a good boss, he got a lot of money in his first All-Star appearance. Hayward really admires him.
Fortunately, Hayward is also a player with a strong heart after all, so he is more envious of Jokic and does not feel too jealous.
He is still young, and Hayward believes that with his own hands, there will be bread, milk, and MVP in the future.
"Of course, no problem. I said, this is an honor that belongs to everyone."
Jokic handed over the trophy without thinking.
Despite Jokic's honest appearance, in fact, apart from playing basketball, he also has a very high two-way quotient.
In other words, every superstar in NBA history, every player who can grow into an MVP-level player, cannot be a fool.
As a newcomer, Jokic is very aware of how jealous his current situation is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the fire is cooking the oil.
Therefore, even though he knew that he had the support of his boss and coach and was playing at home, he still maintained a humble and low-key demeanor despite being arrogant when he came back.
As he spoke, he did not forget to compliment his teammates a few times.
This is a tip for getting along with people that he has learned during his travels in China in recent years: talking more is worse than talking less, and talking less is worse than talking well.
Saying more kind words will not cost you a piece of meat. Sometimes, a casual kind word can give you an unexpected surprise.
Sure enough, seeing that Jokic still had the same attitude as when he was being interviewed, the Western stars around him immediately understood that this guy was not saying one thing and doing another, but he really meant it.
So everyone looked at Jokic no longer with envy and jealousy, but with more kindness.
Wang Zelin on the side was slightly stunned, muttering to himself: Teacher Yue has such a great emotional intelligence. Among the current star players, he is probably second only to a certain thirty-year-old man in the Eastern Conference.
Sure enough, those who can reach the MVP level in the future are not simple things.
While Wang Zelin was looking at others, someone happened to be looking at him as well.
After he stood up to say hello, seeing that Wang Zelin had not noticed him for a long time, the little fan girl Swift ran over from her seat and congratulated: "Wang, congratulations on defeating the Western Conference team for five consecutive years!"
Swift's face was flushed at this moment. She had just cheered for the Western Team and she had exerted so much force that her voice was hoarse. At this moment, her chest was still rising and falling. It was really a wave...well, actually it wasn't that rough.
There's nothing I can do about it, Swift is probably filled with just such a small regret.
When God closes a door for you, He will definitely open a window for you.
This is also true in reverse.
Swift is talented in music and is currently one of the most profitable female singers in the world. She also has an angelic face and a proud height of 1.8 meters. Her long legs are no less than those of many international supermodels (specific details
, please turn to watch Taylor Swift’s Victoria’s Secret show singing live).
It can be said that God has opened many doors for Swift, but only closed one window, and the impact is almost negligible.
Wang Zelin performed a kissing ceremony with Swift and thanked her for her blessing, which made all the stars from the East and West envious.
That is Taylor Swift. She is both talented (money) and beautiful. She is the dream girl of many men.
NBA players are also men, and there are many fans and fans among them.
Now, their goddess actually took the initiative to throw herself into Wang Zelin's arms, and countless glass hearts at the scene were suddenly shattered.
At this moment, they finally understood how Du Xiaoshuai felt when he saw the news that his widowed sister took the initiative to show her love to Wang Zelin.
No~~~(snowflakes fluttering)
