On the morning of the 12th, Wang Zelin got up and ate breakfast while browsing major websites on his mobile phone. Although two days had passed since the game on the 10th, he still appeared on the headlines of major news as expected.
Even the headlines on the NBA official website these days are news about Wang Zelin.
"With 33 rebounds in a single game, China's rookies are on par with countless legendary superstars since their debut!"
As expected of me!
Still so handsome and charming!
He continued to scroll down, focusing on the comments from netizens.
Sometimes the comment section is much more interesting than the content, after all, everyone in it is talented...
Wang Zelin won the game and got a super double-double of 20-33, breaking many records in the team and the NBA. He was so exhausted that he had no energy at all to continue practicing.
On the second day, I slept until noon and didn't get up until noon. I didn't even do the usual morning exercises. I just stayed at home for the whole day, which was considered a holiday for myself.
Sometimes Wang Zelin thinks about how great it would be if he could recover as soon as he wakes up after every game, just like training.
emmm, if possible, add another hostess.
…
After breakfast, he returned to the room to pack his things. Wang Zelin was not satisfied because he had just broken various records. After he was almost recovered, he went to the Rose Garden Arena to practice more.
"Morning, King!"
"What else are you looking for? The sun is shining on your butt."
Facing Uncle Johnny's greeting, Wang Zelin waved his hand.
Uncle Johnny, who was leaning on his chair and playing with his mobile phone, suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Zelin with surprise in his eyes: "Wang, I seem to have seen some great news!"
"What good news? Is it about me again? It shouldn't be. I was reading the news at home just now."
Wang Zelin was a little confused. Could it be that his mobile phone was fake?
"What's the good news? Let's hear it."
It is already 10 o'clock in the morning, and many teammates have already arrived at the Rose Garden Arena to prepare for daily training and rest.
The two looked back and saw that Lillard and others had just walked out of the parking lot.
"Ahem..."
Uncle Johnny saw more and more people coming. He stood up solemnly, moistened his throat, looked at Wang Zelin, his eyes full of excitement: "Boys, Wang, was elected as the Western Conference Player of the Week last week!"
At the end of the sentence, there was even a trace of vibrato, which may have been practiced.
"What? Best of the week?"
"is this real?"
Lillard, Batum and others were very shocked when they heard the news, and they even couldn't believe their ears.
Player of the week!
As the name suggests, within a week of games, the player with the best performance among the 30 teams in the league will have a spot in the East and West.
Today is the 12th, which happens to be Monday. The NBA official website just announced the latest Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Week at 10 o'clock today.
You must know that in the current Trail Blazers, only Aldridge has ever won Player of the Week, and he has only won it twice after playing for 6 years.
Now, Wang Zelin has been playing with the Trail Blazers for less than a month and has already won the Player of the Week award. No wonder Lillard and others are so surprised.
"Although this is incredible, I still want to tell you that it is true."
Uncle Johnny nodded seriously.
Looking through the records on his mobile phone, he continued: "There were three players nominated for the Western Conference Player of the Week last week, namely Kenya Fadri and Kevin Durant."
"Fadri averaged 16.8 points, 12.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game and led the team to four wins in four games!"
"Durant averaged 30.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and the team recorded three wins and one loss!"
"And they both lost to the king."
Uncle Johnny's words attracted everyone's attention to Wang Zelin, including Aldridge, who arrived belatedly.
"Over in the East, from November 4th to October 10th last week, James played three games and helped the Heat win three consecutive games.
His personal statistics are extremely luxurious, averaging 21.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game, averaging 9 hits in 15.3 shots per game, and his field goal percentage is as high as 58.7%.
Among them, he made 2.7 three-pointers and hit 1.3 three-pointers, nearly 50% of them, and his shooting percentage at the basket was an extremely abnormal 77.6%."
"Hiss!"
Aldridge and others couldn't help but take a breath after hearing James' data report analysis.
Wang Zelin knows best about James in the 12-13 season, because James this season represents the ultimate comprehensiveness in history and is the ultimate example of science, balance, and efficiency.
Later, China Sports Channel even made a famous playoff promotional video "Earthlings, who can stop James?"
As for Wang Zelin and his Trail Blazers team, they also won three out of three games.
In the games against the Suns, Timberwolves and Thunder, Wang Zelin scored 22 points and 13 rebounds, 25 points and 8 rebounds, and 20 points and 33 rebounds respectively, averaging 22.3 points and 18 rebounds per game.
Compared with James' data, Wang Zelin's 22.18 data is undoubtedly more terrifying, not to mention that the latter is only a first-year freshman.
At the same time, with such data, Wang Zelin continues to occupy the top spot on the rookie list.
"22 18?"
Lillard opened his mouth and sighed sincerely, feeling even more helpless in his heart.
Being on your team, it seems that the Rookie of the Year award is out of the question for me.
"Wang is so awesome! But I think he deserves this. He led our Blazers to win three consecutive victories."
Drummer Batum clapped his hands and praised, but Basius next to him suddenly gave him an elbow.
"ah!"
Batum suddenly remembered that Aldridge was here too.
"Oh no!"
Batum has played in Portland since 2009 and knows Aldridge's character very well.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Batum knew that what he just said must have offended this sensitive and introverted boy. Just when he was about to say something, there was a sound coming from behind.
A burst of hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, Nicholas is right. It was Wang who led us to win three consecutive victories, no, it should be said to be six consecutive victories. He truly deserves this honor."
Aldridge smiled lightly and walked up to Wang Zelin: "Congratulations!"
"LaMarcus, actually you are the boss of this team, I..."
Aldridge was a little unusual today, and Wang Zelin's heart sank slightly.
"No, you are wrong. This is our team. It does not matter who is the so-called boss. What is important is that he must be able to lead the team to a better place."
"In my opinion, you do have this ability, and that's enough."
Aldridge interrupted Wang Zelin's unfinished words, patted the latter on the shoulder, and walked straight into the arena.
"LaMarcus, he..."
Everyone was silent for a while, as Aldridge's back disappeared behind the door. Matthews and others were a little dumbfounded.
"He is right. No matter who is the boss, as long as he is strong enough, I, Hickson, will obey him!"
Hixon patted his chest to express his position.
"Okay, Coach Terry is probably impatient to wait, so let's go in first!"
Wang Zelin, who was at the center of the whirlpool, smiled and followed Aldridge's footsteps toward the interior of the arena.
Aldridge's intention to give up his position just now was very obvious, and everyone could see that the former was preparing to give up his position as the team's boss.
Wang Zelin didn't know what made Aldridge change like this, but now he only knows that he is not strong enough, and Aldridge has become stronger.
Yes, the battle with the Thunder seemed to have allowed Aldridge to complete a certain transformation. His overall strength increased by 2 points and he has reached the superstar level with a 90 rating.
In this life, Wang Zelin may be able to see a more powerful Aldridge.
The most important thing is that Wang Zelin hopes that everyone will legitimately recognize his status as the leader of the team, rather than being gifted by others.
