The exciting All-Star weekend has passed, and the regular season is approaching again. All players must wake up from the relaxing weekend.
For some players, after the All-Star Game, they have to start the next regular season game without stopping.
Wang Zelin's Trail Blazers team is relatively much better. After the All-Star Game on the 18th, the Trail Blazers' first game day in the second half of the season is scheduled for the 20th.
They have two days of rest, and their opponent is the Phoenix Suns, a weak team in the Western Conference that is rebuilding.
"Wang, do you want to go out for two days? I have made an appointment with someone, let's go out and have fun together." Batum suggested enthusiastically.
Not being selected for the All-Star Game is undoubtedly a pity for Batum, but Wang Zelin didn't see a trace of frustration on this guy's face, which shows how much fun the opponent has had these days.
From the 14th to the 18th and then to the game day, Batum was equivalent to a week's rest.
"No!"
Wang Zelin was not interested.
Or maybe he doesn't have time to go out and play at all.
The All-Star Weekend has wasted a lot of his training time and affected the progress of his training plan. Fortunately, due to his outstanding performance during the All-Star Weekend, he was richly rewarded.
First of all, the fan value has exceeded 80 million, and the day to unlock the next purple diamond superstar card is not far away.
The second is the arrival of new endorsements.
Just after returning to Portland on the evening of the 18th, his agent Zhou Yang called him.
"Zelin, I received a call from a big company the day before yesterday. They want to ask you to endorse a product... Don't worry, there is absolutely no insult to China involved..."
"Moreover, the other party is very willing to give money. The endorsement amount is 28 million yuan in three years!"
Zhou Yang said excitedly.
Now he is more and more glad that he can become Wang Zelin's agent. At first, he simply gave Wang Zelin's father face and planned to take care of Wang Zelin for two years. Even he did not expect that Wang Zelin would play so well.
In his expectation, Wang Zelin would be very good if he could perform as well as Yi Jianlian. As a result, the latter's exaggerated performance even surpassed Yao Ming.
This made him more active in taking care of Wang Zelin's financial affairs.
"28 million in three years?"
Wang Zelin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect such a big endorsement to come to his door. He was almost as good as the sneaker contract given by Anta.
"Yes!"
"This is the outside world's recognition of your business value!"
"If possible, we will meet with the person in charge of each other tomorrow."
Zhou Yang continued.
"okay, I get it."
Wang Zelin nodded.
…
When she woke up early in the morning, Reina's legs kept hanging on Wang Zelin's body and she was reluctant to let go.
"Little lazy cat..."
Wang Zelin stood up, gently pushed his legs aside, and did not forget to cover his girlfriend with a quilt when he left.
Seeing that Reina was still asleep, Wang Zelin quietly left the room and went to the first floor to take a bath.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Wang Zelin arrived at the designated company by car.
After getting off the bus, agent Zhou Yang had been waiting for a long time.
"Zelin, let's go, on the top floor!"
So, Wang Zelin followed him to the top floor. On the way, Zhou Yang introduced the origin of the company to Wang Zelin.
Powerful!
I believe many people are familiar with this brand. It is a century-old brand, born in the United States in 1876, and has the title of "King of Beer".
Arriving at the top floor, Zhou Yang went to announce first, and Wang Zelin leaned on a seat in the rest area.
At this time, a beautiful silhouette slowly came behind Wang Zelin.
"Hello handsome!"
The beauty said easily.
Wang Zelin slowly turned his head after hearing this, and found a black woman coming into view.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Wang Zelin looked carefully and found that although the woman in front of him was black, even from a cross-racial aesthetic point of view, she was really good-looking, but her hairline was a bit...
The most important thing is that he has no interest in black girls!
They say that as long as you are in good shape, you will look the same if you turn off the lights.
But Wang Zelin prefers to turn on the lights and do... love things!
"It seems I'm still not famous enough!" The beauty stuck out her tongue and formally introduced: "I'm Robin Rihanna Fenty. If you think it's too long, you can call me Rihanna...
I heard from my agent that the person who signed up for the endorsement deal with me was a handsome guy from the NBA. I thought it was untrue, but I didn’t expect it to be true!"
Still from China.
I just don't know what the combat effectiveness is like.
Rihanna suddenly licked her tongue.
Since she was beaten by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009 and broke up with her, Rihanna has been left with a psychological shadow. She has not had a truly serious relationship in the past few years, and has only been trying to get a kidney.
After tasting the local taste, Rihanna suddenly wanted to challenge some exotic customs.
"You are Rihanna... we still want to endorse together?"
Wang Zelin was shocked. He did not expect that Baiwei officials would arrange for another person to endorse with him, and the other person was Rihanna.
I only have two impressions of Rihanna and Wang Zelin.
One is Lao Zhan's little fan girl.
The other is the scene where Du Xiaoshuai and Rihanna squirt.
However, it is said that Rihanna herself is extremely accomplished in music, even a diva-level figure.
It doesn’t seem to be a loss if you endorse yourself and the other party!
"Oh, it seems you finally remembered who I am!"
"Of course, you are a regular Grammy attendee. Maybe you don't know that I am your ball...ahem, fan!"
grass!
Wang Zelin just started talking. The person in front of him was not an NBA player, so he suddenly said it smoothly.
"It doesn't matter."
Rihanna smiled.
At this time Zhou Yang came out, followed by a black aunt.
Probably Rihanna's manager.
"Come on Zelin, we will sign the contract in a moment and we can go directly to the filming!"
"Um!"
…
12 o'clock noon.
The filming work of Wang Zelin and Rihanna is more than half completed.
The filming work would be so smooth, in addition to the professional team, it is also inseparable from the tacit cooperation of the two people.
Even Wang Zelin was a little surprised!
But I heard the director say: Some people are not compatible by nature, while others are very compatible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is difficult to find a place to explain this kind of thing, but it happens.
"Wang, I didn't expect that the first time we cooperated, the effect was so great. I hope I have the opportunity to cooperate with you again in the future!"
Rihanna was also a little surprised. In addition to the tacit understanding between the two, what was more important was that Wang Zelin always kept a certain distance from herself during the filming process and did not overstep.
Actually, this is mainly because Wang Zelin is not interested in black girls.
However, when Rihanna thought about it, in the past, people she photographed would have more or less physical contact. Wang Zelin's unexpected politeness reminded her of a word.
gentleman!
In other words, people in China are all so shy.
"interesting!"
Rihanna smiled inwardly.
"Me too, it's a pleasure working with you!"
Reach out and don’t hit the smiling person, Wang Zelin recalls.
Half an hour later, the filming work was officially completed, and Wang Zelin and Zhou Yang wanted to leave.
But at this time, Rihanna stopped Wang Zelin.
"Wang, can we have dinner together? You see it's already lunch time."
Rihanna said to Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin looked at his watch and saw that it was true, so he nodded.
…
On the way back.
"Zelin, you can't tell, you think your luck is so good!"
Zhou Yang showed a strange (obscene) smile unique to those who have experienced it.
"Uncle, I have no feelings for black girls!"
Wang Zelin was speechless for a while.
There is a saying that as a man born and raised in China, his aesthetics are destined to favor yellow and white people, and at worst, add a brown person.
Black man, he said he was sorry.
"Hey, it's the same even if the lights are turned off!"
Zhou Yang smiled.
"I prefer the lights on!"
"Ahem! Young people are indeed better at playing!"
Zhou Yang said with sincere emotion.
The two returned to Portland talking and laughing.
…
In the alliance, there is an undercurrent surging at this time.
The end of the All-Star Game means that this season's trade deadline is coming soon.
As long as the team is somewhat motivated and wants to make a difference in this playoffs, it must seize the time and take action no matter what, otherwise there will be no chance to strengthen.
While Wang Zelin was conducting business negotiations in other places, there were already teams taking action.
The first team to make reinforcements instantly attracted the attention of the other 29 teams.
Nothing else, because the opponent is the famous Boston Celtics.
According to New England Sports News Network, amid the widespread injuries this season, the Boston Celtics have turned their attention to former NBA players. At the beginning of this season, he played for the Guangdong Hongyuan Club of the Chinese CBA League.
Swingman - Terrence Williams.
It is reported that there was a trial process with the Celtics last summer. Williams has accepted a 10-day short contract and is very hopeful to make his debut in the Celtics' away game against the Nuggets on Tuesday.
"He has played in the NBA, and that's what impressed me the most." What Green Army coach Doc Rivers is most satisfied with about Williams is mainly the opponent's NBA experience.
Fortunately, it turned out to be just a minor repair.
After understanding the situation, other team managers breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the Celtics' current record is only seventh in the Eastern Conference, they have a new Big Three combination of Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, and Garnett.
Also sitting on the bench are veterans such as Jason Terry and Brandon Bass, who average about 10 points per game. In addition, there are Jordan Crawford and Avery Bradley, who were just traded from the Wizards.
A potential stock from the 2010 draft.
If it weren't for the injury to the team's new core Rondo, which cast a shadow over the team, the Celtics, who reached the Eastern Conference Finals last year, would never have finished seventh in the Eastern Conference.
If the Green Army's petty quarrel can only be regarded as an appetizer, then it will be the turn of the hard food.
At 10 a.m. on the 20th, a three-way deal was officially announced. The three-way deal between the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, and Charlotte Bobcats is as follows:
The Magic sent Redick, Gustavo Ayon, and Ismael Smith to the Bucks for Doron Lamb, Tebias Harris and Benno Udri;
The Magic then sent Josh McRoberts to the Bobcats for Hakeem Warrick.
It's just a death struggle between three fish bellies, not as good as the news that follows.
Miami Heat trade to Memphis Grizzlies: Mark Spiel revealed that the Heat have sent Pittman and a second-round pick to the Grizzlies in exchange for a trade exception.
Although this is only a small-scale transaction, the implications are far-reaching.
How much the defending champion Heat teammates long for a true center, other teams have long known it. They had previously been interested in Denver Nuggets center Motzkov, but their search was fruitless.
It is worth mentioning that the deal between the Heat and the Grizzlies was discussed like crazy as soon as it came out.
Pittman averaged less than three minutes of playing time per game this season, averaging 1.5 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.
Players with such performance can be regarded as trading chips and exchanged for trade exception rights, which is enough to make the Heat management extremely happy.
Through this transaction, the Heat not only got rid of Pittman, but also added a lot of leverage to their recruitment this summer.
Adrien Wojnarowski, a well-known Yaohoo sports reporter, said: "The Heat are already so strong, and the league can still agree to such a ridiculous deal!!!
See what Riley paid for?
He was just a small player averaging 1 point and 1 rebound per game, but in exchange for a valuable trade exception...
Is the league too partial to the Heat?"
After James made the 1.0 decision, the Heat's Big Three became the target of public criticism.
But since the Heat won their opponent's second championship, and James won his first career championship and became the first active player, James seems to have received David Stern's personal phone number again, and the treatment of his godson has returned.
For the Grizzlies, the reason why they were willing to trade Terry as a bargaining chip was purely helpless.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After sending away its star Rudy Gay, this team, which is still expected to enter the playoffs, urgently needs to replenish its internal strength. In the absence of better options,
, Pittman, who is 2.1 meters tall, can be used casually.
After all, he has been here for nearly three seasons, and his salary this season is only 850,000, and he is still young, so there may be additional surprises.
The Grizzlies did not respond to the hot discussions from the outside world, and the team management did not feel that they had any hope of making it out of the Western Conference.
After I die, who cares about the flood!
…
On the afternoon of the 20th, two transactions surfaced in succession, involving the same team.
Portland Trail Blazers!
The first is a trade between Western Conference teams.
According to ESPN expert Mark Stein: The Thunder have traded Eric Maynor to the Trail Blazers.
As soon as the Trail Blazers were traded, domestic media from all walks of life couldn't wait to start digging deeper. China Sports Channel specially opened an exclusive column to analyze the pros and cons of the Trail Blazers' trade.
Ke Fan, Yu Jia, Yang Yi, Ma Jian and many other famous commentators attended the event.
"Eric Maynor... is regarded as the purest point guard among the 2009 rookies, and may be the "sleeper" in this year's point guard year!"
This is a true traditional point guard, which is rare in today's league."
Ke Fan specifically talked about the protagonists in this transaction.
Then, Yang Yi talked about his own opinions.
"First we have to look at why the Trail Blazers traded for Eric Maynor"
"First, this transaction made by the Blazers management is for the sake of the team's second team...
Eric Maynor averages 10 minutes per game this season and can contribute 2.8 points and 2 assists, but his three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage are 32.6% and 81% respectively.
Secondly, his unique traditional point guard style of play is obviously different from the style of Trail Blazers point guard Lillard. I think there will be no big problem with him leading the Trail Blazers' second team."
Ma Jiandao:......

Not long after the first trade passed, the Trail Blazers' second trade came out, and the other party was the Celtics.
The Trail Blazers sent backup center Meyers Leonard and a second-round pick, while the Celtics sent guard Connett Lee.
Meyers Leonard, who is 2.16 meters tall, is a member of the Trail Blazers' rotation, averaging 5.53.7 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game. He is also a member of the 12th draft and a first-round pick.
As Wang Zelin played better and better, Meyers Leonard's playing time continued to shrink, and his personal performance also declined, which made him very dissatisfied with the team's arrangements.
In this transaction, the Trail Blazers and Celtics can be said to each have what they need. The former needs an outside shooter, while the latter needs an inside player, so the two teams hit it off immediately.
After returning to Portland, Wang Zelin learned that there were personnel changes in the team, and the league went online to click on the specific transaction information.
I don't have much impression on Eric Maynor, but Connet Lee and Wang Zelin still have some influence.
Generally speaking, as long as a player has an impression on himself, his future performance should not be too bad.
I opened the system space and checked Connett Lee's information...
In later words, he was a 3D player!
He averaged about 10 points per game all year round, and in his peak season averaged 12 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The largest contract in his career was a four-year contract worth 50 million yuan signed with the Knicks.
Wang Zelin also took a look at Connet Lee's three-point shooting percentage. His career average three-point shooting percentage was 38.8%, and his peak season was 44.2%. In his 12-year career, his three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40% in more than half of the years.
