Chapter 79: Reaching the Top of the Rookie List

Not long after, Barkley was heartbroken and spoke first: "Shaquille, haven't you always said that you have strong musical and dancing talents?"

"So what?"

"Then the bet this time is: the loser will sing and pole dance on TNT... or it will be broadcast live across the United States!"

Hearing Buckley's action, the photographer holding the camera on the side couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and his hand almost slipped.

This B is too cruel!

"Faker."

After hearing this, O'Neill's eyelids were twitching.

But at this time, he knew that he must not back down, otherwise there would be no effect on the show.

"Okay, then I'll bet that the Trail Blazers' winning rate can exceed 50%. What about you?"

"I bet they can't make it!" Buckley agreed without hesitation.

"Ahem, guys, actually, I think you, you guys... are a bit too big, why don't you think about it again!" Reggie Miller covered his mouth frantically to control his bright smile.

"Me, me too."

Kenneth Smith on the other side raised his right hand in agreement.

"Come on, laugh if you want, no one will eat you."

O'Neill crossed his hands and said indifferently.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect the two of them to dare to play like this, I was laughing so hard, hahaha!"

"It's the same. There will be a good show at the end of the month."

Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller instantly fell to the ground, laughing exaggeratedly.

Amid laughter, the recording of this special program was officially completed.

At home in Portland, after watching the entire program, Wang Zelin only had three words in his mind.

City can play!

One is a fat man weighing nearly 400 kilograms, and the other is about the same weight, starting at 300 kilograms.

This is a worldly thing. No matter who goes pole dancing, it is a great stimulation for those who watch.

But why am I so excited?

There are even so many small expectations in my heart!

Such a wild and exciting bet successfully raised TNT's ratings today. The TV station executives were so happy that they specially sent a big red envelope to the four O'Neals.

He also promised on the spot that no matter who fulfilled the bet at the end of the month, he would give the loser another huge red envelope.

The ratings were so high right after the stakes were set. When it comes time to perform pole dancing, they won’t be able to take off!

O'Neal x Barkley: I can't thank you enough!

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when Wang Zelin came home from the training tube and had just taken a shower and was about to eat, Zhou Yang burst in excitedly.

"Zelin, good news, good news!"

"Uncle Zhou, why are you here? Is there any good news that makes you so excited?"

Looking at the panting Zhou Yang, Wang Zelin was a little puzzled and subconsciously handed over the skim milk he had taken two sips of.

After panting for a while and gulping down the milk, Zhou Yang complained: "It's all your fault for not answering the phone, which made me go to the training gym first, and then I hurried back when the guard said you were back."

"Well, Uncle Zhou, it's not like you don't know that my phone is usually turned off when I'm training."

After turning on the mobile phone placed on the coffee table, I saw 7 or 8 missed calls displayed on the screen above.

"By the way, don't you have a car?"

"The car had a flat tire on the way. Fortunately, the Rose Garden is not far from you, so I didn't choose this location for nothing."

"..."

A black line

"Forget it, just think of it as exercise. Take a look at this..." Zhou Yang took out a fax from his briefcase and handed it to Wang Zelin...

Anta sneaker commercial shooting!

Wang Zelin looked at it and asked puzzledly: "But I have to play the Thunder tomorrow night, how can I have time to shoot commercials? I can't just fly to China directly."

"Don't you know that Portland is a world-famous sneaker mecca? Not only do Nike and Adidas have thousands of employees here, but even the headquarters of our domestic brand Li Ning moved to Portland in 2007...

"

Through Zhou Yang's explanation, Wang Zelin learned that Anta also has a branch here and is expected to locate its headquarters in Portland in a few years, so he does not need to fly back to China at all.

Okay, I am ignorant!

I thought there was only one nickname for this: tear...

"By the way, congratulations on being at the top of the new rookie rankings!"

Zhou Yang suddenly broke the news, but he unexpectedly didn't hear the latter's words of thanks.

"I'm No. 1 on the rookie list?"

"You haven't watched the news, have you?"

"Yes!"

"...Okay, this is the NBA rookie rankings. The latest update was just updated at 2:30. You have surpassed Anthony Davis and Lillard, and you are finally no longer the third player in ten thousand years."

Starting from the opening ceremony of the preseason on Monday, October 8, the NBA announced the first round of rookie rankings, and it is now the sixth round.

In the previous five rookie rankings, Lillard ranked first with 18 points and 7.2 assists per game, Anthony Davis ranked second with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, and third was Wang Zelin with 16

Points and 9 rebounds.

Although Wang Zelin's performance is not inferior to that of Anthony Davis, and the team's record is better, but...

In this latest period, NBA officials will abandon the preseason data and use all regular season data to measure the performance of rookies.

Therefore, relying on the data of 21.4 points and 11 rebounds per game in these 5 regular season games, Wang Zelin successfully achieved his first dominance. This time, even the most thoughtful people will not dare to gossip.

The second place is Lillard who averaged 17.6 points and 8.4 assists per game, and the third place is Anthony Davis.

It is worth mentioning that in the first regular season game of his career, Davis faced the Spurs led by Tim.

In the first game, he scored 21 points and 7 rebounds on "Old Hooligan No. 21", leading the Pelicans to lose by only 5 points, 94:99.

In this battle, Davis can be said to have successfully established his authority over Duncan and the Spurs.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unfortunately, after a magnificent game, he was injured in the second game. He did not play in the next game against the Bulls and 76ers until last night's game against the Bobcats.

He just returned, and as soon as he returned, he scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks, thus returning to the top of the rookie rankings.

Many fans are even feeling sorry for him: if it weren't for the unexpected injury, maybe Davis would be dominating the list now.

Of course, this is only a small number of voices. The vast majority of people have bright eyes and recognize Wang Zelin's 20+10 data.

The 20+10 statistics of inside players are unparalleled even in NBA history, let alone this year's rookie class.

At least since the beginning of the new century, only two rookies have scored 20+10 in their debut.

One of them is Blake Griffin, who scored 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists. He is now one of the most popular stars in the league. The other is the famous captain Elton Brandon, who scored 20.1 points, 10 rebounds and 1.9 assists.

Block shot.

emmm, they all played for the Clippers.

Moving forward, there were only three rookies in the 1990s who could achieve this number.

Tim Duncan, the No. 21 pick in the 1997 class, averaged 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game.

Shaquille O'Neal, the No. 1 pick in the 1992 class: 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks.

Alonzo Mourning, the "Kidney Fighter" ranked second in the same class: 21 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1 block.

In the past two decades, all inside players with such statistics have become the core of the team, and the lowest limit is All-Star level.

Now, Wang Zelin hopes to become the third player in the 21st century to average 20.10 per game, but I don't know if he can keep it up.
