Chapter 285 2K new endorsement, complete preseason victory
Halfway through the first quarter, when the Clippers replaced captain Paul, they found that the opponent was still full of the main lineup.
Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers are bound to win this victory.
33:21!
By the end of the first quarter, the score difference had widened.
In the second quarter, the coaching staff of both teams started to change their lineups with a tacit understanding.
For the Trail Blazers, Mo Williams was like a wild horse, scoring 11 points in a single quarter. Adams and Garnett supported the inside, and the strength he showed was obviously better than the Clippers' second team inside.
Combination Lewis Armson and BJ Mullens are more than capable
Wang Zelin sat together with Lillard and Aldridge, laughing so hard that coach Terry Stotts also came up and showed a devilish smile.
Fans across the country felt the confidence of Wang Zelin, Lillard, Aldridge, Terry Stotts and others when they were bragging. At the same time, screenshots of the four people's magical smiles began to fly all over the Internet.
After halftime, in the third quarter, the main players from both sides reappeared, and the fans began to chant the names of stars such as "Wang Zelin", "Saint Paul", and "Adelaide".
The good times did not last long, the main players only played for a few minutes, and the two teams began to make large-scale personnel adjustments and began to constantly run tactics.
For them, preseason games are really not important and are not included in their plans for the new season. The only purpose may be to seize this opportunity and run in as a team.
The Trail Blazers have completely established a style of play with Wang Zelin as the core. Unlike last season, where Aldridge's feelings were a little taken into consideration, they are now playing more decisively.
The second lineup has also been preliminarily determined to revolve around Mo Williams and Garnett. In today's battle, the two of them were one outside and one inside, one on offense and one on defense, showing good combat effectiveness.
After all, the Clippers' bench is not weak in the league. Sitting on the bench is Jamal Crawford, the best sixth man who averages 15 points per game!
Unfortunately, Ke Laoliu seemed to have a bad touch today. He played 20 minutes, made 0 of 4 shots, and successfully harvested duck eggs.
Therefore, the result of one game does not mean anything. If you want to completely determine the core candidates of the second team, you have to look at the performance of the two of them in the next four preseason games.
On the Clippers side, because shooting guard JJ Redick was unable to play due to injury, the main purpose today was to examine Willie Green. Willie Zelin played a full 35 minutes today and was the only one who played more than 30 minutes.
players.
His performance was acceptable. Except for his poor three-point shooting rate, which was only 1 of 3, he made a total of 5 of 6 shots. Plus 3 of 4 free throws, he scored 16 points.
At the end of the first three quarters, Wang Zelin played a total of 18 minutes, and the Trail Blazers led the Clippers by 14 points, 78:64.
In the final quarter, the main players of both teams did not play again, and they just sat and watched the substitute players compete.
In the end, Garnett, the wolf king, scored 7 points and 3 rebounds in the final quarter, leading the rookies to maintain the lead. The Trail Blazers defeated the Clippers 95:88 and won this Chinese war.
…
The Kyoto battle between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers is considered the focus of the entire NBA preseason schedule. Many media, including many teams, have sent scouts to observe the two teams.
Judging from the strategic policies of the two teams, the two teams definitely have the strength for the playoffs. If they want to distinguish the strength, they unanimously believe that the Trail Blazers are better.
They underestimated the offensive firepower shown by Mo Williams when he was the sole leader in the second team, as well as Kevin Garnett in the interior. The Wolf King is old, but his strength is still there.
The Trail Blazers' second lineup is no less than the second lineups carefully built by other powerful players.
Portland Youth Army is about to make a comeback!
…
After the Kyoto battle, on the 10th, the Trail Blazers returned to Boise, the capital of Idaho, USA, and their opponent was the Jazz.
Wang Zelin did not go out with the team in this battle, because... another business came to his door.
When talking about the NBA, we have to talk about a sports game company, and that is 2K!
Originally, 2K planned to launch "2K14" in October this year!
Not only will the team join the European League for the first time, but it will also join James in asphalt mode and signature skill MYCAREER mode. In early September, the league's hottest player, King Zelin, was invited to the head office to record the game theme song.
At that time, Wang Zelin and Lillard's new albums were in hot sales. This move was favored by many media and was deeply supported by countless fans.
It can be said to be a strong alliance!
As a result, no one knew that it was almost mid-October, but "2K14" had not yet been released.
Until October 11th, 2K officially announced the latest news on Twitter. They will launch a special version of 2K14~Celestial Legend Edition!
There are three main characters, namely Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin.
Because the three of them are real players who have played in the NBA for at least one season and are pioneers in the development of basketball in China. Even the weakest Yi Jianlian entered the NBA with the sixth pick in the first round and is a real man of the hour.
Therefore, 2K Company used this perspective as a starting point to specially produce the so-called "Celestial Legend Edition!"
Of course Wang Zelin had known about this for a long time. When he went to 2K to record the game theme song, he was invited to become a 2K spokesperson.
It's just for the sake of a sense of mystery that it has been hidden by 2K until now, and the spokesperson's identity has not been officially announced.
And when he knew about this, especially the "Celestial Legend Edition" game mode, "Come and kill me if you are a brother" and "This is a brand new legend" always appeared in his mind... Waiting for Hong Kong stars to endorse
The magical advertising sound of legendary games.
It’s too shameful!
No, it should be said that 2K is trying to make money. There is indeed something wrong with this approach.
The game mode is nothing more than retracing the rookie seasons of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin. To put it bluntly, it is for the players to re-create the careers of these three players.
Wang Zelin originally thought that many people would choose to challenge the model of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. After all, his rookie career was already brilliant enough. If he wanted to take it to the next level, the game should be quite difficult.
But he never expected it.
The most popular thing is his model.
Is it possible that this is the so-called "the more difficult it is, the more likely it is to conquer"?
After staying at home, Wang Zelin briefly tried the three's respective modes, but still couldn't stop complaining in his heart.
However, when the payment information came from his mobile phone, Wang Zelin smiled like a 200-pound child.
There is no way, who asked them to give too much!
Why didn't Dayao and Ah Lian fall under 2K's money offensive?
Thinking of this, Wang Zelin suddenly felt that this game was not as shameful as before.
Not to mention, my initial game ability value is quite strong, with a full 83, while Dayao only has 72!
As for Ah Lian, forget it, just don’t talk about it.
Wang Zelin is very happy to be on the cover of the game.
But the unpleasant thing is that when 2K knew that he was not fighting with the team but was on strike, they shamelessly tried to squeeze his rest time and let him go to various promotional activities.
Just kidding, Brother Wang, I refused on the spot and replied righteously: "That's another price!"
Come on!
Another wave of money offensive is coming.
The humble little king once again fell under the offensive of the capitalists.
…
Time passes day by day.
On October 12, the Trail Blazers had their third preseason game.
In the first two games, the Blazers won both games, and it was a two-game winning streak.
There is no need to elaborate too much in the first game against the Clippers. In the second game against the Salt Lake City Jazz, Wang Zelin did not play. Terry Stotts’ lineup was Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge and newcomers.
Adams.
At first, No. 5 was planning to go to the Wolf King, but unfortunately he was rejected by the latter.
In his words at the time: "I am already old, and the future belongs to newcomers. Let Steve have more opportunities to hone his skills!"
Therefore, the coaching staff did not force it anymore and tried the inside style of Adams partnering with Aldridge.
Not to mention, Adams is a young man and performed pretty well, scoring 8 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks!
Although there were a lot of fouls, 5 in total, he had a strong presence in the paint!
We can also see Adams' enthusiasm on the field.
In addition, Aldridge assisted inside with 20 points and 8 rebounds, Lillard from the outside scored 23 points and 5 assists, and Mo Williams on the bench showed no mercy against his old club, scoring 11 points and 7 assists.
assists.
The duo led the Trail Blazers to defeat the Jazz with a score of 106:91, winning two consecutive preseason games.
Game 3 returned to the Rose Garden Arena, home of the Trail Blazers, and Wang Zelin had no reason not to play.
Throughout the summer, Wang Zelin's work focused on the China Tour and the Asian Championships, but he was still a walking topic maker, always triggering huge traffic topics wherever he went.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to the NBA and released a new album together with Lillard, his popularity skyrocketed again, and the whole of Portland began to become lively.
Countless sports reporters gathered here, and promotional posters for the Trail Blazers' new season could be seen everywhere among the buildings.
Among them, Wang Zelin is in the C position. The first thing you see on the poster is his figure.
How many years has it been!
Never before has Portland been as lively as this year before the start of a season.
Wang Zelin looked at the increasingly lively city and felt very excited. This was the place where he was fighting, so he naturally longed to be loved by local fans.
Although he was excited, he did not let his super popularity go to his head. He trained at a fixed time every day and never relaxed for a moment.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall!
He understood this very early.
In the third game, the Suns were destined to be unlucky.
The team's new star Dragic, who Suns fans have high hopes for, performed well, scoring 19 points and 7 assists. Are you sure you will pass by? The opponent's players are even better.
Don’t talk about others first.
Lillard, who scored 19 points and 5 assists, was not necessarily worse than Dragic.
Not to mention Wang Zelin, last season's Rookie of the Year.
Obviously the Suns are not bad inside, Marcin Gortat and Markieff Morse are both very good big men in the current league.
But in front of the Trail Blazers' No. 36, it is obviously more than one level behind.
The Suns never expected that in just a preseason game, they would usher in Wang Zelin, who was full of firepower.
Is he crazy?
Of course Wang Zelin didn’t!
In fact, he didn't want to either.
But when he heard the increasingly fierce "MVP" cheers from the sidelines, his heart was somewhere between A and C, and he couldn't help but start pretending.
Therefore, he interrupted the good tactical arrangement originally planned by the coaching staff and chose to be completely reckless.
Therefore, it is extremely unfortunate that the Suns fell into tragedy.
125:93, the Trail Blazers beat their opponents by 32 points!
After Wang Zelin led his team to slaughter the sun, many singing and virtuous voices also started to revel.
"Obviously, the king who is one year older has become stronger!"
"Mr. Superman, are you feeling scared? Your opponent will be unprecedentedly powerful!"
"It's time to change the position of the league's number one center."
"I really can't think of any reason why ESPN would rank Wang behind Dwight. Even if God is blind, he wouldn't dare to do this?"
Of course there are praises but also doubts, and the voices are not quiet.
"It's just a preseason game, don't brag about it."
"Show some shame, do you think this is the playoffs?"
"Can some members only pretend to be tigers in the preseason? Why don't they go crazy in the regular season?"
A capable person is always hated by others. As the old saying goes: If you are not jealous, you are a mediocre person!
Therefore, Wang Zelin's mentality is very relaxed.
Of course, it is also possible that his anger was already vented when he hit the sun, and he was too lazy to pay attention to those villains on the Internet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sometimes if you choose to ignore them, you will fall into their trap.
On the 17th, the fourth game of the preseason, the Trail Blazers played the Kings.
Lillard showed off the whole game today, accumulating 8 of 19 shots, 4 of 9 3-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He contributed 28 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to 109 on the road:
105 defeated the king.
Kings star DeMarcus Cousins...
Uh, Kaoshen seemed to be sick again today. He was very angry throughout the game and left the game with 6 fouls in less than three quarters.
It can be said that the Blazers can win so easily, and the test of God is definitely the biggest contributor.
Thanks for the assist, Big Baby!
…
In the final battle, the Trail Blazers faced the Golden State Warriors, who were seventh in the Western Conference last year and led by cute killer Stephen Curry.
The two teams didn't have any major grudges, so the whole game was played in an extremely harmonious manner. The coaching staff frequently mobilized their troops and seized the last moment to polish the lineup system.
In the first half, the scores between the two sides were evenly matched, and there were many three-pointers, so the score was very high, 65:63, with the Trail Blazers trailing by 2 points.
But in the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors 117-108 with their outstanding performance in the second half.
Lillard scored 21 points and became the biggest contributor to the team's victory.
As for the Warriors, losing the game is completely understandable.
Today, their inside core David Lee is absent due to injury, and there is no firepower threat at all. The entire penalty area has completely become the Trail Blazers' back garden.
Although Curry scored 17 points and 6 assists, he only made 7 of 22 shots in the game, and his effectiveness was average.
At this point, the Trail Blazers have played all 5 preseason games and won 5 consecutive victories, which played a very good role in warming up the opening game of the regular season of the following 2013~2014 season.
At least everyone's confidence and feel have been demonstrated!
Looking at the league, there are only a few teams that have won all preseason games. If the Trail Blazers can become one of them, how can the players not be proud?
