On this trip back to China, generally speaking, Wang Zelin did two things.

First, all commercial activities of the trip to China were successfully concluded.

Second, he led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Asian Championship.

When he came to the land of Millikin again, his two elders did not come with him. He was accompanied by his girlfriend Lena.

In my father's words: "Now my family has no worries about food and clothing, my son still has a future, and my happiness index has surpassed more than 90% of Chinese families. The most regretful thing in this life is that I can't accompany your mother to travel around the motherland."

Great rivers and mountains!”

Ever since, the two elders seemed to have regained the passion of their youth and embarked on a spontaneous trip.

First visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and then go see some foreign places of interest.

When parting, although Wang Zelin was a little reluctant to leave, his mentality quickly changed.

Sometimes, parents don't have to stay by their children's side to be happy. They also have some private space of their own and have unfinished dreams of their own when they were young.

If you are able, it would be great to go out and have some fun!

…

At 10 pm on August 16, US time, at home in Portland, Wang Zelin helped his girlfriend sit on his whip and saw the latest news:

NBA officially announced the schedule of each team for the 2013~2014 season.

The most important thing right now is undoubtedly the preseason.

As far as the preseason itself is concerned, it is not a very important game. It does not matter whether you win or lose. It will not affect the regular season record anyway.

But playing these games is very meaningful to the players of each team.

The purpose is to allow the players' bodies to re-adapt to the NBA's game rhythm, confrontation, etc. after a few months of rest.

Not everyone is like James, who spends millions of dollars every offseason to maintain his body and maintain his competitive status.

On this point, Wang Zelin has to admire him.

After more than ten years of hard work, he dared not let his body slack off. No wonder Lao Zhan was able to win another championship ring in the City of Angels.

One thing to say, after helping Los Angeles win the championship again after ten years, and at the same time winning the fourth MVP trophy in his career, James truly secured his position as the second player in history... At least there was no controversy before.

So big.

Unlike now, where we rely solely on the praise of unscrupulous media and fanatical fans, in fact there is still a bit of vanity under the throne!

However, there is an old saying: "You have Zhang Liangzhi, I have the wall ladder!"

Wang Zelin is undoubtedly envious of James' self-discipline, because he knows that he cannot achieve this level of self-discipline.

But that doesn't mean he will be jealous of James... who makes him systematic?

After working in the system for so long, Wang Zelin gradually figured out some of the rules, one of which is:

Before he can completely inherit all the abilities of the drawn star card, if he adds targeted training, the speed of integration will be accelerated; but even if he does not train, his strength will still gradually increase.

Sometimes you have to admit one thing: in terms of the speed of becoming stronger, even the Chosen One cannot compare with a B-level player.

With the help of the system, Wang Zelin does not have to worry about his competitive status declining like other players.

So when he was asked whether to participate in the next five preseason games, after briefly looking at the schedule, he only chose to participate in two of them.

One is Portland vs. the Clippers in Kyoto on October 8, and the other is against the Suns at the Rose Garden Arena at home on October 12.

You must know that the preseason is no different than the regular season and playoffs. In order to promote globalization, irrelevant games such as the playoffs actually have overseas games.

For global promotion efforts, sometimes they are not NBA teams.

For example, the Philadelphia 75ers have a game in Bilbao, Spain. Their opponent is the Bilbao men's basketball team in the European League system.

After playing in Spain, the 75ers will go to Closet, the second busiest city in the UK, to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The protagonist this time is naturally the Thunder, and the 75 people are just supporting roles...

There are only three overseas games out of five pre-season games, which makes me feel drunk just thinking about it!

If it was last year, he certainly would not refuse the team's request because he was not qualified to refuse.

But now that he has reached his current position in the team, he is naturally qualified to say "NO".

Returning to China to play games is a way of giving back to his hometown parents. Wang Zelin is very happy to do this. If he wants to fly to other places, there is no need to discuss it.

Unless you add money!

But is this possible?

Regarding Wang Zelin's choice, after the team reported it to the league, the top management quickly agreed.

How does the NBA make money?

Of course they are fans!

Whether you buy a ticket to watch or sit at home to watch, the fans are the gods of the league.

And what do fans want to see most?

He must be a star!

Therefore, the league usually turns a blind eye to some innocuous requests from stars.

Besides, Wang Zelin also had his own legitimate reasons... He accidentally slipped and fell while taking a shower in the bathroom and twisted his waist.

Ahem, it seems nonsense, but in fact it is quite nonsense.

But for the top management, having a reason to offend the fans is enough.

Perhaps they never imagined that in the future, there would be a strange person who would end the season due to a slip in the bathroom.

…

In a recording studio.

"Wang, you are such a genius! It would be a shame not to join the entertainment industry!"

Lillard, who was dressed in a flashy outfit, couldn't help but sigh again after singing "Stitches" with Wang Zelin.

Wang Zelin glanced at Lillard and thought to himself: It's so pitiful that even foreigners wouldn't say "f*ck!"

"This album has already been released. I'm afraid many fans will go crazy. Maybe this is what your country calls the 'blooming of both culture and sports'!"

The man with long hair, hip-hop outfit and exuding an artist's atmosphere firmly believed.

“It’s such an honor to be able to participate in this album!”

The other guy in charge of recording nodded.

Let me go, these guys are too exaggerated!

Facing the strange compliments from a group of people around him, Wang Zelin had a thought.

However, when I think about the fact that almost all of the songs that I brought out are songs that fans are familiar with from the 2K series, I can understand their feelings.

He was thinking one thing, but what he said was another thing: "Actually, I feel the same way."

"..."

Everyone is being petrified.

Don’t they say that people in China want to be humble?

Why does this guy give people a completely different feeling?

But it has to be said that he is more supported by Europeans and Americans. This is in line with the consistent views of Europeans and Americans:

Powerful, it’s meant to be shown!

…

It took nearly ten days for Wang Zelin to finally fulfill his promise to Lillard and successfully record his first album.

Different from previous singles, this time there are 7 songs!

It is conceivable that fans who have been waiting for a long time will be in for a treat.

By now, Wang Zelin has gained the consciousness of being a qualified copywriter.

No, he did this to promote friendly exchanges of music culture between the two worlds. His starting point was good.

Besides, the matter of scholars...

…

September 1st, US time.

Last night, distributors at all levels put the first album "Faith In Basketball" jointly released by Wang Zelin and Lillard on the shelves of record stores.
