Chapter 38 Double Star Shines in Portland

 His teammates hoisted the ball in. Wang Zelin received the ball steadily and began to sit inside.

Through more than ten minutes of practice, Chris Johnson has proven that he cannot restrain the former at all, but since the head coach did not suspend the game, he still had to bite the bullet and push forward in order to make ends meet.

As soon as Wang Zelin exerted his strength, an overwhelming force instantly rushed towards Chris Johnson.

The first back hit caused Chris Johnson behind him to take a big step back. The second hit, Wang Zelin had already entered the three-second zone.

This time he did not continue to use his body to overpower his opponent, but wanted to properly demonstrate his silky skills.

Hold the basketball tightly with both hands, use your right foot as the axis in the opposite direction of the basket, then lift the ball high and throw it in the direction of the basket.

Whoosh!

The basketball clicked into the frame.

86's layup ability is not limited. He makes Wang Zelin's finishing ability at the basket extremely powerful.

The ingenious combination of soft touch and brutal power allows Wang Zelin to do whatever he wants under the basket. Paul Allen and his management are watching all of this.

"Good, King has a great shooting touch. He is not the kind of rough guy who can only make a living under the basket. He can also pull out to shoot at certain moments, which is rare." Regarding Wang Zelin, Orsi's heart

The more I look at it, the happier I am.

"Wow!"

"OMG!"

"This No. 1 is so fast. It reminds me of Derrick Rose of the Bulls and Russell Westbrook of the SuperSonics."

Just as everyone was feeling emotional, screams suddenly erupted from the field.

It turned out that when Wang Zelin was under the basket again, the arrogant Lillard couldn't wait to return the favor.

After quickly letting his teammates serve, he overtook the car at an astonishing speed and went straight to the red team court to complete a gliding dunk.

Although Lillard and Wang Zelin are not players in the same position, the direction of the game has been unknowingly affected by them, and the two teams almost exploded with each other.

On the red team's side, Lillard can't be guarded from the outside; on the basketball team, Wang Zelin can't be guarded on the inside.

Overall Rating: Strong in offense and weak in defense

Talent skills

①Big Heart (Silver): To be awakened

This is the personal panel displayed by rookie Lillard in the system space.

Starting from 23 points + 11 assists + 3 rebounds in the first regular season game, Lillard almost never encountered the so-called "rookie wall" throughout his rookie season.

In his rookie season, he averaged 19 points, 6.5 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game. He was unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year, monopolized all Rookie of the Month awards in the Western Conference, and led the league in average playing time of 38.6 minutes per game.

too strong!

This is Wang Zelin’s evaluation of Li Guidance.

It is foreseeable that when the NBA regular season starts, Lillard, who has played against many experts, is likely to have a personal overall rating that will break through to the All-Star level by the end of the regular season.

To a certain extent, Lillard can be regarded as one of the top players in NBA history. He was almost among the league's first-line point guards in his rookie season, and was named to the All-NBA Team in his second year.

He has become one of the strongest players recognized in the league at the No. 1 position.

As for Lillard's unawakened talent skills, after asking the system, he finally learned that talent skills only appear on All-Star players, and even some All-Star players have never had talent skills.

As for the 94 injury resistance, Wang Zelin also expressed his understanding.

Take a look at C.J. McCollum, who later became a double-shooter for the Trail Blazers. This guy was injured all the time and was frequently reimbursed for the season.

Let’s look at Coach Lee again. In addition to being reimbursed for one season in college, he is a ruthless player who plays the entire regular season in the NBA. Even in the season with the fewest appearances, he still has an attendance rate of 73 starts.

Placed in this torn city that seems to have been cursed, it can be called a miracle.



When the match ended, Wang Zelin and Lillard, who were somewhat sympathetic to each other, came to the midfield and hugged each other.

"King, your strength is really too strong. I still can't imagine how those media experts could exclude you from the top ten picks. This is simply unbelievable."

As an older rookie who has been in college for four years, Lillard has seen too many potential insiders, but he still feels that the strength of the Chinese center in front of him shocked him the most.

"Damien, you are the same. Those unscrupulous media also underestimated you. You are a talented defender who can compete for the top three picks."

Hearing the compliments from the future best first-team defender, Wang Zelin was inevitably a little complacent.

Wear it a thousand times, but never wear it!

After Lillard heard Wang Zelin's praise for him, a smile filled his eyebrows.

"King! Damien! You two are extremely talented players. I will use my career as a guarantee that we will definitely sign you in the first round."

As soon as Trail Blazers general manager Orsi came up, he directly expressed his satisfaction with the two young people in front of him.

"Haha, Mr. Orsi, you are really discerning. I believe Damien will be worthy of your sixth pick." Lillard's agent Goodwin also stood up and intervened at the right time.

.

His intention is obvious. He is announcing that his employer Lillard is the owner of the sixth pick, and Wang Zelin can only be the 11th pick.

"Really, but I think my employer also deserves the sixth pick."

Zhou Yang will also not be soft-spoken when seeking interests like this.

After all, the gap between sixth and tenth can be seen just from the signing salary.

"Alon..."

"Uncle Zhou..."

Wang Zelin and Lillard naturally heard what the agent meant, and tugged on his sleeves in embarrassment.

Just now he and Lillard had a sympathetic hero conversation, but now in the blink of an eye, they have become competitors for the high pick again, and he cannot help but be embarrassed.

"Hahaha, of course we know that whether it is King or Damien, they are both worthy of the sixth overall pick. Well, our boss Paul Allen said that he prefers both of them to stay in Porter.

Lan, for this reason we will do our best to seek the possibility of a higher draft pick."

In order to appease the two agents, Orsi repeatedly guaranteed that if Wang Zelin and Lillard really play for the Trail Blazers in the future, there will be little difference in their signing salaries.



There are basically no big secrets between NBA teams. After Wang Zelin returned to his residence after his trial training, many media began to report on his first stop of trial training.

But for some reason, Wang Zelin, who clearly performed well and was guaranteed by the Blazers management, failed in the trial training in the media's eyes, which directly caused his four-star potential on the draft prospect list to become three and a half stars.

"Wang Zelin had a bad trial?"

"The road to drafting a Chinese player is more bumpy than he imagined. Wang Zelin may return to the CBA!"

"The Trail Blazers didn't mention the results of the trial training, so what should Wang Zelin do?"

"What kind of courage does it take for an arrogant Chinese kid to call himself king? Does he think he is LeBron?"

For a time, not only the local media in the United States, but also many domestic media came out to cause trouble.

Zhou Yang has long been used to the domestic media's tendency to follow the wind. He is now preparing to arrange for Wang Zelin to go to the next team for a trial training.

"Uncle Zhou, why do you think they promised me a hand-drawn lottery when we were in the Rose Garden, but now they have turned against me and refused to recognize me?"

The sudden unfavorable prospect hit the ambitious Wang Zelin deeply. He was quite puzzled by this and even began to worry about whether he could enter the NBA.

Racial discrimination is really too deep-rooted in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin in the 2010 draft is the best example.

This is because players who clearly have the ability to enter the NBA are discriminated against because of their yellow skin. In the end, they are directly lost and are not even drafted in the second round.

If he hadn't seized the opportunity to change his destiny in 2012 and proved himself, there might not have been a much-talked-about "Linsanity".

"Zelin, you are still a fool!"

"...?"

"I guess the Blazers management doesn't want other teams to know about your huge potential, so that they can be more confident in selecting you."

The reason why Zhou Yang introduced Wang Zelin.

"So that's the case. If that's the case, do we still have to go to trial training?"

"Of course I want to go. Everyone knows that capitalists can't believe everything they say. If we try out more companies, it means there is one more way out."

"Yeah, that's right."

Wang Zelin nodded and continued his trial training journey.
