Chapter 533 Battle with the Splash Brothers...start from the dining table
The next day, before Wang Zelin got up, news about match day 1 was already flying all over the sky.
"Shocked! Checked out in three quarters!! The terrifying strength of the defending champion may be beyond everyone's imagination!"
"The embryonic form of the crazy season is beginning to emerge: the Trail Blazers, Lakers, and Cavaliers have all achieved two consecutive victories at the beginning, and the three teams have launched a fierce competition for the first place in the league!"
"The Lakers are off to their best start in the past three years. Will the glory of the Purple and Gold Army shine on the league again?"
After getting up, Wang Zelin casually browsed the news and frowned.
Purple gold glory?
In what age do we still have such glory?
The Cavaliers also won two games in a row?
Oh, good guy, he played 42 minutes in the second game, made 14 of 30 shots, scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block?
This is the rhythm of a thirty-year-old man who wants to go to heaven!
Are you really not afraid of being pulled for a urine test after the game?
Ou Shenxian had 20 points and 3 assists, so-so.
Kevin Love scored 16 points and 16 rebounds, which is a bit cruel!
It seems that it's not just the west side, but the east side as well.
At this moment, Wang Zelin suddenly had the feeling that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me."
"Crash!"
I washed up casually.
Returning to the bedside, he said: "Ajiali, I have a game tomorrow and I have to go back to Portland to prepare for the game. You have a good rest."
"Um."
Ajiali nodded repeatedly, then turned her head and fell into a deep sleep.
It can be seen that the battle last night was so fierce that even Ajiali, who has been practicing yoga all year round, could not bear it.
At noon, Wang Zelin took a plane back to Portland alone.
…
…
At 10:30 in the morning on the 3rd, after the Trail Blazers finished training, they took a shower and headed to a private restaurant.
By November 3rd, three game days had passed, and each team had played 1 or 2 games. The Blazers' performance in the opening two games against their opponents made them the most watched team in the league.
A team.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that they are the defending champion team.
Today is the game day when the Trail Blazers face the Warriors at home. Last season, the Warriors were one of the top eight in the Western Conference playoffs.
This game is a strong showdown between two strong teams in the playoffs and has received a lot of attention.
However, a competition is a competition and a personal relationship is a personal relationship, which are not the same thing.
This time Curry and Thompson are visiting Portland. As the host, Wang Zelin has made an appointment with the two in advance and treated them to a meal.
At the beginning of 2014, according to the 2013 NBA player income rankings released by Forbes magazine, Wang Zelin's total income in 2013 was approximately 43 million yuan, beating Rose's 38.6 million, Durant's 31.8 million, and Wei Wei's 38.6 million.
Germany’s 30.7 million ranks third in the league.
Among them, the salary part is 3.15 million, and his advertising endorsement and other income is about 40 million.
Ranking first and second are Kobe Bryant, with a total income of 64.5 million yuan, and James, with a total income of 61 million yuan.
Considering that both of them are the highest-paid players in the league, and Wang Zelin is actually a rookie player during the rookie contract period, his annual salary has just reached a fraction of the annual salary of Kobe and James.
Looking at it this way, his income of up to 40 million yuan in advertising endorsements and other income seems terrifying.
Therefore, Curry and Klay Thompson, whose current combined annual income may not even be in the top 20, started shouting "Eat the rich and divide the land!" without any psychological barriers!
The road is not very far, it just takes a little detour.
Wang Zelin drove around for a while before he found the location of the family restaurant. He saw Curry and Clay squatting at the door of a small parking lot. If they had another cigarette in their mouths, they looked like social youths, holding silk in their mouths and full of breath.
Full...
He suddenly understood that the reason why Durant chose to join the Warriors in the future may not be because of the championship, but purely because he found an organization where he had advantages.
I got off the car and checked the time. Although I walked around for half an hour to find this place, it was only 11:15, which was still early from the scheduled 12:00.
At this time, Clay stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically: "Wang, I thought you asked us to come here for a big meal, but this is what happened? We might as well find a nightclub..."
Curry: "???"
I know you usually have fun, but now you have to pay attention to the occasion.
Curry really wanted to strangle this teammate... Forget it, he decided not to strangle him. Although Clay made 4 of 14 shots from the field in the opening game, fortunately, he also made 9 of 10 free throws, ranking second only to himself.
With the team's second-highest score of 19 points and 6 assists, they could easily defeat the Kings in the opening game.
Alas, who made us splash brothers?
Wang Zelin parked the car, ignored the two funny guys behind him, and walked into the restaurant to look around.
At first glance, the environment is pretty good. I would rate it an 8 out of 10, but I don’t know how the food is.
It was a Monday, so there were very few people. When we entered the restaurant, the service hall saw Wang Zelin coming and enthusiastically took the three of them to a seat by the window.
Soon, some customers recognized Wang Zelin and the other two, and some secretly took photos there. At this time, a brave brother shouted at the top of his lungs while holding a bottle of wine:
"Wang, can we kick the Warriors' butt tonight?"
This must be a loyal fan of his own team. Wang Zelin turned his head and responded: "That's a must!"
Opposite Curry heard the conversation between Wang Zelin and passer-by, and immediately had a black line. He was communicating like this in front of their Warriors members. After all, as the leader of the Warriors, can he save some face?
Glancing to the side, Clay, who was saying "That's it?" before entering the restaurant, was holding the menu and gesturing to the waiter, not paying attention to what just happened...
Curry feels so desperate...why his best teammate can be so weird.
Full of resentment, Curry took the menu sent by the waiter, flipped it left and right, focusing on the expensive items. After a while, the price reached 4 digits.
Wang Zelin himself was also checking the food with a pen. Seeing Curry still making crazy circles, he asked curiously:
"Stephen, can you finish eating after ordering so much?"
Curry said angrily: "Do you want to take care of it? Can't I take it away if I can't finish the order? I'm not allowed to eat more if someone is treating me?"
Poor you bastard!
Wang Zelin: "..."
Have you taken gunpowder?
But then he thought about it, it’s okay for people to come from far away and want to taste the local delicacies in Portland?
