Countless fans in North America thought with some regret that although sports do not respect national boundaries, who wouldn't want such a powerful player to be from their own country?
Presumably the Chinese fans watching the All-Star live broadcast have already fallen into crazy cheers.
This is indeed the case.
The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean was completely boiling.
CCTV5, the online live broadcast room of Tencent Studio was all crowded by enthusiastic fans. The live broadcast ratings have soared since the finals, breaking the live broadcast records in recent years.
At the same time, the entire Internet is full of news related to Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin's name once again topped the search list of a certain website, and among the top 10 hot news rankings, 6 news items belonged to Wang Zelin.
The scarf is even more exaggerated. In the top 10 hot search rankings, all hot words are about Wang Zelin.
Absolutely phenomenal!
In the Tengxun studio, the overwhelming barrage of fans was almost overwhelming.
"Awesome! This is the most exciting slam dunk contest I have ever seen!"
"The king is mighty, and I, China, are mighty! This All-Star Wang Zelin is the absolute winner. As a Chinese, I am really proud of this!"
"Wang Zelin's feat fully illustrates what it means that even yellow people can fly! And the height he has reached today is absolutely unprecedented and probably unprecedented."
"..."
Fans talked a lot, and finally unanimously posted: "The king is awesome!!!"
…
…
It's a wild night in Portland.
At the Rose Garden Arena, the cheers of the fans continued.
Wang Zelin exchanged a few words with everyone around him.
The award ceremony begins!
NBA President Bald Hua appeared in person to present the award to Wang Zelin.
To be honest, he originally planned to watch Wang Zelin's jokes today, but he didn't expect that Howard did not fulfill the agreement before the game. He actually indulged Wang Zelin and won the championship?
Bald Hua is very puzzled by this. Logically speaking, Howard and Wang Zelin are mortal enemies. The latter can be said to have stepped on the shoulders of the former to become the number one center in active service.
How can we let go of such grudges?
This is the biggest difference between businessmen and athletes.
All businessmen do is to seek to maximize profits, and sometimes they may even ignore the rules and use any means to achieve their goals.
Athletes are different. The passion in their bodies makes them unable to be as cold-blooded as businessmen.
Wang Zelin's performance today not only impressed countless fans, but also impressed all the players. Whether they had a good relationship with him or those who had had grievances before, they all chose to put aside all discord for the time being and looked at Wang Zelin with eyes full of joy.
Sincere respect
Regardless of their position, everyone has now returned to the essence of basketball and feels the fun brought by basketball.
The same is true for Howard. After today, he is completely convinced by Wang Zelin.
What's even more frightening is that with such an incredible performance, even if Howard wants to defeat Wang Zelin's championship, it is impossible.
Unless...he wants to leave the Rose Basketball Arena in bed tonight.
Therefore, the bald Hua, who had no time to leave early, had to reluctantly appear in person to present the award.
This scene once again aroused the fans' emotions and they began to cheer crazily.
Because the people who presented awards in previous individual events were usually NBA executives, the league president rarely awards awards in such small events.
Usually you only see the league president at the end of the All-Star Game.
But tonight, because he wanted to witness Wang Zelin fall from the altar with his own eyes, Bald Hua appeared at the scene.
And because of Wang Zelin's impeccable performance, he had no choice but to surrender to the current trend and forced a smile to go on stage to present the award to Wang Zelin!
"Wang, congratulations on becoming the first yellow champion in the history of the slam dunk contest!"
The bald man showed a very business smile, with deep helplessness in his eyes.
If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not be present tonight.
"Thanks."
Wang Zelin also saw Bald Hua's impatience, but due to the occasion, he replied lightly and then took the trophy.
The trophy was like a hot potato. After being handed to Wang Zelin, Bald Qiang turned around and left, his thin figure quickly disappearing into the player tunnel.
It can be seen that our alliance president really does not want to stay with Wang Zelin for a moment. Every extra second he stays is a great torture for him.
After the award ceremony is completed, it’s time for the award interview.
The host had already stood aside and waited.
When he came to Wang Zelin, his eyes were still full of excitement and admiration.
I originally thought that this year's slam dunk contest would be like the previous two, causing a sensation and then passing away.
I never expected that this slam dunk contest would become a classic that will never fade away because of Wang Zelin’s participation.
I am actually lucky enough to host such an epic slam dunk contest. I find it unbelievable when I think about it.
"Man, congratulations on winning the Slam Dunk Contest. There is no doubt that you have made history and become the first Asian player in NBA history to win the Slam Dunk Contest championship trophy! How do you feel now?"
the host asked, with high respect in his tone.
"Haha, I feel very honored by this. At the same time, I would like to thank every opponent who competed tonight. Their outstanding performance forced me to reach my full potential."
Facing the host, Wang Zelin seemed much kinder.
"There are even rumors on the Internet that many people think you dare not participate in the slam dunk contest. Now you not only participated but also won the championship. What do you think of this?"
"It doesn't matter what others think. I only had one idea at the time, which was to prove that yellow people can fly! Now, I have done it!"
Wang Zelin said.
No matter how great or powerful a player is, it is inevitable that people will question him.
The only thing Wang Zelin can do is to break this doubt.
The fans at the scene were also infected by the strong confidence exuded by Wang Zelin, and once again burst into cheers of MVP to support Wang Zelin.
"The All-Star Game will be held tomorrow. I wish you can contribute a more exciting performance to everyone in the game."
The host is already looking forward to it.
"Of course, I will never let you down when the time comes."
Wang Zelin smiled confidently and ended the interview.
He returned to the sidelines and handed the slam dunk contest championship trophy into his hands.
Kendou excitedly took the trophy, thought of Ajiali sitting next to him, raised his eyebrows, deliberately took out his mobile phone in front of Ajiali, took a few photos with the trophy, and then posted it on his personal media.
The intention is self-evident, as if to say: Look, I am the principal, and you are just a mistress!
Ajiali was filled with hatred for Kendou's behavior, but she remained calm and calm on the outside.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zelin also shook his head helplessly.
The two girls are also serious about pinching each other every chance they get.
Okay, he is used to this, and when he goes back in the evening, he will have the confidence to say yes to the two girls.
