After a day of training, Wang Zelin went home in the evening and practiced for a while after dinner.
Since Kendou is not at home, he can only stay in the empty room alone tonight.
During this period, not only Wang Zelin is busy preparing for the new season, but Kendou is also busy working on his career with his sister-in-law Kylie Jenner. After all, the two girls are not just flower vassals.
At the end of this year, Kendall will also participate in the 2016 Victoria's Secret catwalk.
After lying on the bed and checking his phone for a while, Wang Zelin still couldn't fall asleep. He opened the system panel and took a look at the current fan value balance.
Yo, a bit unexpected... 85.86 million!
Well, it seems that he still underestimated the value of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team defeating the Dream Team to win the Olympic gold medal. In just over a month from the end of the Olympics to now, the number of fans has skyrocketed by 50 million, and the upward trend has not decreased much.
, full of stamina.
If this continues, it is estimated that after the game in October, his fan base will exceed 100 million again.
The thought that he could add more points to become stronger in a month at most made Wang Zelin even more excited.
Damn, I shouldn’t have watched it. I’m completely sleepless now.
After reading the news for a while, Wang Zelin fell asleep in a daze.
A night of silence.
On October 2nd, the door to the 2016~2017 season officially opens, and the Trail Blazers will also usher in the opening game of the NBA preseason.
With the arrival of the preseason, the audience waiting in front of the TV quickly saw the chemical reactions of the defending champion Trail Blazers' new starting five for the new season.
Compared with last season, the Trail Blazers have basically no changes in personnel, except for two more rookies. At the same time, one of the starting positions of the starting five has been temporarily changed from Aldridge to Jokic.
From mid-September to now, the new starting lineup has been running in for half a month, but for the sake of caution, the special coach decided to focus on running in the lineup and training the new players in this preseason.
On the morning of the 2nd, Wang Zelin accompanied the team to Vancouver, the largest city in the western part of the Maple Leaf Country. The Trail Blazers' first preseason game was against the Raptors.
Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey's thoughts were similar to those of other coaches. In the first half, the main players from both sides came out and hugged each other for a while. They were all practicing tactics and did not exert their full strength.
What can be clearly felt is that Jokic's appointment as the starting power forward has had a certain impact on the operation of the Trail Blazers' tactical system.
On the one hand, it is because of the previous trip to China that Jokic failed to keep his mouth shut and the weight loss plan failed. On the other hand, it is just because the Trail Blazers are used to the three-core system of Lillard + Aldridge + Wang Zelin, and this
It took four years to perfect the tactical system.
Now that one core of the three-core system has suddenly become Jokic, the players' professional abilities are naturally not that fast, and it is normal for the tactical operation to be sluggish.
This problem cannot be solved in a short time, and it will take some time to adapt.
However, Jokic, who started for the first time in the new season, also showed his advantages.
Of course, there are many differences in the technical styles of Jokic and Aldridge, and his current overall strength level is at least two levels worse than Aldridge's, but... this guy's playing is so "awesome"!
It may seem a little weird to describe an insider as "powerful", but this is exactly the surprise he brings to fans and teammates.
Jokic, who is a European player, can attack, organize, and has rich technical skills. Coupled with his super high basketball IQ and game reading ability, he can always make the most correct choices on the court, and it is difficult to be restricted on the offensive end.
.
In this game, several of his brilliant passes surprised people.
He and Wang Zelin are in charge of the Trail Blazers' inside line, making their positional warfare tactics extremely smooth, and the ball passing between players is even smoother, making it difficult for opponents to guard against them.
If the Raptors players are not careful, the entire tactical system will be easily disintegrated by the Trail Blazers.
It can be predicted that the Trail Blazers' offense in the new season will definitely become more unpredictable and difficult to guard against.
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Raptors by 10 points, 55:45.
In the second half, both teams invariably put on substitute lineups.
The substitute lineups of the two teams changed a lot in the summer. In the first half, the main players were almost in sync with each other. In the second half, the substitutes began to be inspected.
In the middle of the third quarter, the two teams replaced bench players one after another.
For the Trail Blazers, the two young players Zubac and McCaw both got the chance to play, while for the Raptors, the talented striker Pascal Siakam, selected with the 27th pick in the first round this year, also got the chance to play.
.
The three 16th-year rookie players on the court began their first competition in their NBA careers.
Back on the bench, Wang Zelin watched McCaw and Zubac use tactical moves to cut to the basket and dunk successfully. Siakam on the opposite side quickly responded with a ball from the mid-range.
All three young people successfully scored their first goals after entering the NBA, which made the "old man" Wang Zelin, who had ended his rookie contract, quite emotional.
In my impression, McCaw, Zubac, and Siakam are all considered to be the best in the 16th draft. Some have relied on incredible luck to achieve mobile dynasties, some have firmly established themselves as the team's starting lineup, and some have become championship starters.
Looking at these young people in front of him, Wang Zelin couldn't help but think of the scene when he left the alliance...
I think of running under the sunset that day again, that was my lost youth!
Just when he was about to net Yiyun, his vision suddenly went dark and his vision was covered by someone's hand.
NetEase Cloud was interrupted...
Just as he was about to turn around, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, guess who I am?"
This voice is not Kendou, could it be...
Wang Zelin turned around and pulled the beauty into his arms. He looked down and immediately showed joy, "Ajiali, why are you here?"
"Hey, what are you doing? People want to tease you again?"
Ajiali's face was filled with annoyance. She wanted to tease Wang Zelin, but unexpectedly she fell instantly.
Then, she suddenly remembered that she was still lying in Wang Zelin's arms at this time, and blushed and said, "There are people around, please let me go."
"Ouch, you're blushing?" Wang Zelin teased and smiled, and when he exerted force on his hand, he hugged her tighter. He leaned down and kissed Ajiali's lips.
After a long time, the two separated again.
Ajiali gasped, her cheeks were slightly red, and she struggled to break away from Wang Zelin's arms. She pretended to be angry and said: "Bad people, they know how to take advantage of me, they are so bad!"
As she said that, she took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her face again, looking disgusted.
Too dirty?
Even though he knew she was joking, Wang Zelin couldn't help but blush.
"Isn't it dirty? Then I want to kiss her more." Wang Zelin pretended to be angry and reached out to grab her again.
Ajiali smiled and avoided, "No more."
They quarreled for a while as if no one was around, ignoring the strange looks around them.
After a long time, Ajiali stopped and let Wang Zelin hug her again.
After some fighting, the relationship between the two people, who had not seen each other for a long time, gradually warmed up.
