Time passed by on May 28. After two days of preparation, the fourth game of the series arrived, when the Trail Blazers faced the Spurs at home.
When the Trail Blazers won Game 3 of the series and refused to fall behind 0:3, the trend of the series gradually became more unpredictable for a while.
Being behind by 0:3 and falling behind by 1:2 are two completely different concepts.
In the history of the former, no team has been able to overtake when trailing 0:3, while in the latter, there are quite a few teams that have achieved the goal.
Of course, this is from the perspective of a Portland Trail Blazers fan.
After winning a victory, the players' confidence was significantly improved. In this game, Wang Zelin scored 22 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Although he was not as brave as in the previous game, overall, he was still a pioneer.
The best player on the team.
It was difficult to replicate the miracle night of the previous game. The Trail Blazers lost the fourth game without any suspense. Unlike the previous two games, this was the lowest point difference in the three losing games.
At 94:90, the Trail Blazers unfortunately lost by 4 points.
The strength gap is still obvious. In addition to Wang Zelin and Aldridge, the other 6 players in the 9-man rotation are Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Will Barton, Mike Roberts, Connett Lee, and the oldest Matthews.
But it's only 27, and the Spurs, who are leading the league in GDP, ultimately lack a lot of competition experience.
After losing to the Spurs and falling behind 1:3, Yao Ming, who had started to enter the political arena, and several of his close teammates on the national team called to comfort Wang Zelin. They were all worried that Wang Zelin would be unbearable after losing in the playoffs for the first time.
Don't look at Wang Zelin's dazzling brilliance now, but if you take a closer look, he is just a 19-year-old kid.
Wang Zelin was already prepared. Facing a top team like the Spurs, which had been to the Finals for two consecutive years, he certainly wanted to win during the game, but if he really lost...it wouldn't be a big deal.
He is still very young.
Apart from anything else, at least the vast majority of fans in China will express their understanding with the classic "Boss tried his best, teammates CBA!"
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
While chatting with a few people, Wang Zelin also asked Yi Jianlian what his current status was.
If I remember correctly, as of the 2016 London Olympics, and in the next three or four years, Yi Jianlian's performance will be excellent, both in the CBA and in international competitions.
It can also be said that although Arab Lian was ultimately unable to gain a foothold in the NBA due to his glass-like attributes, he has experienced the baptism of the NBA's top arena for several years. The nearly 30-year-old Arab has reached the peak of his career.
In fact, the same goes for the later Zhou Da Mo Wang. No matter how much the trolls complain, he is still Yao Ming, another player who landed in the NBA after Yi Jianlian.
As for how to join Mosaic through connections?
This statement is simply nonsense.
There are so many CBA players, why even in 2021, when Wang Zelin traveled through time, only Zhou Qi landed in the NBA during this period.
So, it's all a matter of strength.
In fact, even if he went there, Zhou Qi could see an improvement in both physical fitness and technique.
After a brief chat with Yi Jianlian, Wang Zelin hung up the phone and his mind began to jump to the NBA next season.
From an objective point of view, the Blazers are fully capable of signing Yi Jianlian, and it may only cost tens to hundreds of thousands.
The key is that Yi Jianlian's own strength must be strong enough.
There is no way, who made Yi Jianlian's glass man characteristics too deep in the hearts of NBA management.
"Damn it! Why do you think so much? At worst, we can just ask the team to sign the Arab League during the offseason!"
Wang Zelin shook his head, too lazy to think about it further.
He still doesn't believe it. With his current ability and huge potential, can the management choose not to accept his request?
Later, in order to successfully sign a contract with Antetokounmpo after the contract ended, the Bucks management did not hesitate to sign a two-year contract with Antetokounmpo's brother... It was also a two-year, fully guaranteed contract worth 3 million meters in gold.
This shows how much sincerity the Bucks management has shown in order to reassure Antetokounmpo!
Of course, Wang Zelin cannot personally come forward for this kind of thing, otherwise it will damage the relationship between him and the management, so...
"Yes!"
Wang Zelin picked up his cell phone and called his agent Zhou Yang.
"Hey, Zelin? Let me tell you, another big international brand has approached you recently, and we are going to distribute..."
As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Yangbing introduced Wang Zelin's commercial endorsements non-stop.
"Wait, Uncle Zhou, put the rest aside first, I have something to tell you."
"you say."
"That's it, I think next time..."
About 5 minutes later.
"Okay, I understand. From my point of view, given the current importance the Blazers attach to you, such a small thing is totally fine."
"By the way, you must remember not to talk to the management yourself. Just leave this matter to me. You can just play the Western Conference Finals with peace of mind."
Listening to Zhou Yang talking on the phone, Wang Zelin didn't feel bored, but felt warm in his heart.
"Yes, I know."
After everything is settled, life has to go on as usual.
"Whoosh", the time came to May 30th.
Returning to their home court, the Spurs didn't want to have a long night of sleep, and immediately defeated the game in less than half a quarter. Halfway through the third quarter, the score difference between the two teams was as much as 22 points.
Come on, it’s completely garbage time!
So far, they lost to the Spurs in the away game, 1:4, and the Trail Blazers have officially entered the fishing period!
…
Life is like that!
Since you can’t do that, just do that!
Just like this, Wang Zelin was paralyzed on the sofa at home, watching the TV series in which James scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Wade returned to form and scored 21 points and 9 rebounds, of which 6 offensive rebounds were even.
A career playoff record.
Finally, the Miami Heat, who returned to their home court for a life-and-death battle in G7, defeated the Pacers by 23 points with a majestic score of 99:76. They eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4:3 and entered the finals.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Next, the Heat will compete with the Spurs for the championship trophy.
As a dark horse, no one thought before the final game that the Pacers would be able to fight the Big Three of Miami to the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Although defeated, it is still glorious!
This is the unanimous evaluation of the young Pacers players from the outside world.
em, the ending is quite similar to that of the Trail Blazers next door.
And this is the cruelty of the professional game.
It's a battle of life and death. If you win, you'll be in the championship. If you lose, you'll be filled with regrets throughout the summer.
Our General Qiao is filled with regret at this time.
With 7 minutes and 43 seconds left in the game, George committed 6 fouls and left the game early, making the game completely lose suspense.
As the winner, the Heat fans showed their magnanimity. They all stopped booing and waved goodbye to George.
In any case, the Pacers' young man No. 24 has brought many surprises to the fans in this series.
Those explosive dunks made many people believe that this young man will be one of the players who will dominate the league in the future.
Compared to next season, Paul George will become the core of the Pacers... unless their team management is like the Kings management, and is demoted.
Watching the tiebreaker between the Heat and the Pacers on TV, the Pacers were defeated by 23 points...
Wang Zelin once again lamented: The development period of young people is still not long enough, and there is still a long way to go if they want to become the masters of the alliance.
However, some things still need to be done.
"Hey, my brother! Are you okay? It's such a pity. You are only a few hundred million points away from advancing to the finals. What a pity..."
"roll!"
Du~du~du!
Tsk tsk tsk, young people are very angry.
After George hung up the phone, Wang Zelin felt really bored and this guy was too careless.
…
On June 7, when the finals started, Portland was also very lively because the Trail Blazers were celebrating the end of the season.
In addition to the coaching staff and players, many management personnel also attended the event, and the security team was no exception.
Rich boss Paul Allen made a bold statement on the spot: "Let's all drink together, and he will pay for all the consumption tonight!"
However, Wang Zelin was still asked not to drink. After all, this is a public place, and there are also some local dignitaries, celebrities, etc. If Wang Zelin is photographed drinking, he will inevitably be fined and required to perform community labor.
Fortunately, Lillard was with him, because this guy didn't like drinking very much, so the two of them sat together, an arrangement after the end of the two seasons.
"Wang, what do you want to do most now? Our season is over. I'll take a break first, and then I'll start working on the new album..." Lillard picked up the juice and clinked glasses with Wang Zelin and expressed his break.
Season plan.
"Me?...Well, I should go back to China first and then think about what I should strengthen my training this summer?"
After hearing what Wang Zelin said, Lillard was stunned for a moment.
The Western Conference Finals have just been played, why do you think of training again... This guy is really awesome!
"Wang, haven't you played enough after playing so many games in the regular season? Why don't you put the training aside for a while? I remember that your musical skills are quite good. Why don't we work together to make an album."
"Ah this..."
"Let's make a fortune together then!"
"No problem! I'll do it after I return to China and solve the problem!"
When he heard that he could make money, Wang Zelin lost his reserve and agreed decisively.
As for the problem of the album not being sold.
The question never entered his mind from the beginning.
One was Coach Lee, who was later hailed by fans as the best rapper in the NBA and the best player in the rap world.
The other one is a well-known traveler in all the worlds, but he is still cheating.
It's hard not to think about such a match made in heaven.
The worst-case scenario is to become a copycat again.
…
A few days passed in a flash. After being eliminated from the game at the end of May, Wang Zelin took a break for more than a week. During this period, he didn't touch basketball much.
Like Lillard said, isn't it enough to play so many games?
Trash, from the preseason to the regular season to the playoffs and the Western Conference Finals, Wang Zelin has played more than 100 games, which is enough for a long time!
It’s not just about physical fatigue, it’s also about mental exhaustion.
During the game, the whole person is like a taut bow, and must always maintain a high-intensity and high-level competitive state.
As the saying goes, it's easy to break when it's just too old.
Now that the offseason has finally arrived, of course I have to take a good rest and adjust my injured mind.
After the second game of the Finals, when the Heat, playing at home, played a 33:5 run in the second half to take away the game, and finally defeated the Spurs with a score of 103:84, the series score became 1:1, and time had already passed.
It’s June 10th.
After almost resting, Wang Zelin began to prepare for his return to China. He first booked a flight to Los Angeles on the 25th, and then transferred to Kyoto.
During the finals, Wang Zelin began to carry out commercial activities in China and other parts of Asia non-stop. Naturally, the big head was officially arranged by Anta, and he also had other brand endorsements.
The event ended on July 15th and lasted for one month. The last stop was in my hometown of Quanzhou.
Wai Guoren all know the importance of hometown to Chinese people, and the word nostalgia runs through the life of every Chinese person.
It has been more than half a year since he left his hometown. Wang Zelin has made a huge name abroad. Quanzhou Station is definitely the grandest stop.
Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night!
Wang Zelin admitted that he has never been a saint with high standards of conduct and deeds. He is just a layman who welcomes fame, fortune, wine and beautiful women.
Of course, he has always adhered to the principle that gambling and drug abuse are irreconcilable!
Although Quanzhou is not as well-known as super cities at home and abroad such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, in any case, Quanzhou has always been one of the three central cities in Fujian Province, and it is also a second-tier city in the country.
Moreover, Quanzhou has a long history and has been developed since the Zhou and Qin Dynasties... (predict the details and automatically save your mother!)
All in all, Quanzhou, as the final battle in this massive commercial event, has a lot of leverage both in terms of qualifications and strength.
In addition to commercial endorsements, as the biggest world-class sports star in China, Wang Zelin has to return to his hometown, participate in a lot of voluntary publicity, promote positive energy, and do what an aspiring young man in the new century should do.
After finishing these things, we have to prepare for the Asian Championships.
It's not that Wang Zelin can't shirk his qualifications for the Asian Championships, after all, his ranking is still a bit high; mainly because the Chinese men's basketball team's first Asian Championship match in history is really unspeakable.
That was the first stop of the "Death Group". Well, the old "Death Group" of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team...
The opponent was living a good life... The Great Cold Kingdom was the cold country where the famous "Theory of the Cold Country on the Origin of the Universe" was written.
Throughout the game, although the Tianchao men's basketball team dominated the front and rear rebounds, and Yi Jianlian scored a personal high of 23 points in the game, the team's shooting rate was low due to insufficient breakthroughs, including 0-for-14 three-pointers.
The opening lead was gradually equalized, and in the end they lost to the Hanguo team by 4 points.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in 16 years that the Chinese team has lost to Han Guo in the Asian Championships...
It’s really shameless!
Therefore, in order to avoid such an embarrassing scene, Wang Zelin had to go into battle in disguise.
I thought everything was over and I could rest peacefully for a while, but I didn't expect...
Alas, we can’t just watch the men’s basketball team lose to Han Guo!
