The original afternoon training plan ended before it even started. Wang Zelin took the car back to the hotel by himself. He drove wildly for a while and finally felt a little better.
About 10 minutes later, Zhou Yang found Wang Zelin with a worried look on his face and told him that the Oracle KO incident had aroused a lot of public opinion in China, and many media were critical of Wang Zelin.
"Tch, not surprised at all!" Wang Zelin replied nonchalantly.
As a latecomer, he is still very clear about the current situation in the country. In this era where public knowledge is rampant and demons are everywhere, he is exactly in line with that sentence:
"The braids on the head are tangible, but the braids in some people's hearts are invisible!"
It has only been ten years since China returned to the WTO. The rapid economic development has also created a large number of people's blind worship of developed countries in Europe and the United States, especially the public intellectuals who control a large amount of public opinion. Therefore, there has been a domestic uproar
The public criticism was completely within his expectation.
As for those so-called "public intellectuals", they will only be liquidated in the future.
"For example, on forums and forums, the voices matching you are smaller, but many mainstream media, they..."
Zhou Yang is unable to know the general trend of the future like Wang Zelin. His expression is still serious and his mood is still worried.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't set fire. The most they can do is criticize some of my off-field news. As long as I play well on the field, I believe the public will be discerning!"
Wang Zelin smiled and pulled Zhou Yang to his seat.
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and said: "You, you... it's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!"
"Forget it, those bullshit media are just Bei Tong. The more you care, the more those people will push further." Wang Zelin said disdainfully.
…
In the evening, coach Terry Stotts handed over the roster.
Even though many media believed that Wang Zelin would most likely avoid fighting tonight, he still appeared on the list.
Obviously, Wang Zelin's appearance exceeded most people's expectations. After all, there are so many rumors in the outside world now. Wouldn't it be better to selectively pretend to be blind for a while to avoid the limelight?
Even if they lose this game to the Grizzlies, wouldn't the Trail Blazers still have the best record in the league?
Just inside the home team's locker room, Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger was arranging the roster.
The new head coach of the Grizzlies will only turn 40 in half a month, and he is definitely considered to be among the younger generation in the coaching world.
As for the previous head coach Lionel Hollins, who only coached the Grizzlies for 6 years, during these 6 years, although he made the playoffs three times, he was never able to go further and break through the Western Conference.
Until last summer, the Grizzlies management seemed to be fed up with the current situation of the team and wanted to seek new breakthroughs. Therefore, the management chose to promote Dave Joerger, who had been the Grizzlies assistant coach for the previous six seasons, to become the head coach of the Grizzlies.
The team's head coach.
It is worth mentioning that Dave Joerger is also the NBA relay Bobcats coach Steve Clifford, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek, Nets coach Jason Kidd and
The seventh "rookie coach" after Kings coach Mike Malone.
So far, the Grizzlies have played a total of 46 games and lost 19 of them, with a record of 25 wins and 19 losses.
Especially in the first two months of the season, the Grizzlies were once ranked in the lower reaches of the Western Conference, which made the outside world increasingly doubt the Grizzlies' new coach.
Fortunately, after entering mid-January, the Grizzlies ushered in a wave of 5-game winning streak and another wave of 6-game winning streak that continues to this day, helping the Grizzlies return to the top eight in the Western Conference.
Just two days ago, the Grizzlies defeated the Bucks 99:90 in the away game. After winning 6 consecutive victories, Dave Joerger's burden was slightly relieved. Tonight we received another strong shot.
opponent.
In other words, it is the strongest team in the league currently - the Portland Trail Blazers!
This suddenly made the burden on him much heavier.
Fortunately, after entering the middle of the season, Zach Randolph is now in good condition and no longer has the bloated body that looked like he was pregnant in June at the beginning of the season.
Coupled with defensive powerhouse Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies' black-and-white inside combination gives him a lot of confidence in tonight's game.
At least, Marc Gasol is one of the few active players in the league who can be in the low post and slightly restrict the opponent's No. 36 big man. Whether it is the height on the court or the protection of rebounds, the Grizzlies are better than other teams.
, are much better.
There are twin towers on the inside and a group of defensive warriors on the outside, which gives Dave Joerger the determination to fight the Trail Blazers to the end.
Besides, even if you can't beat the opponent, you can still be disgusted.
Ahem, it can be seen that he is indeed the chief assistant coach who was highly valued by the Grizzlies' former head coach Hollins. Not only did he steal his job, he also inherited his mantle. He has a way of "stirring up the shit" that the Grizzlies have.
A knight who flourishes the "stick" attribute.
"Mike, Tony, Tyshawn..." After Dave Joerger finished practicing at position 123, he looked at Marc Gasol, who noticed it and could see it.
"Mark, you have to do a good job of protecting the frame in this game..." He pointed to Zach Randolph behind him, "Zach, the team's offense depends on you!"
"Um!"
Zach Randolph nodded heavily.
As soon as he came up, Dave Joerger put together the Grizzlies' strongest lineup at present. Except for Zach Randolph, the other five players on the field were all good defensive players at the same position.
Moreover, considering that the player Zach Randolph is facing tonight is Aldridge, the energy he injects on both offense and defense will definitely exceed previous games.
After the warm-up, following a fancy introduction, the hosts and guests came on stage one after another.
Jump ball, Wang Zelin wins, the Blazers attack.
"Blow them up!"
"Let them not get a single point!"
Lillard passed the center line and just stood outside the three-point line. He was shocked by the response from the stands.
It is said that the Denver Plateau is the devil's home field, but in fact, how can it be so weak here in Memphis?
From the players on the court to the fans outside the court, once the battle with this Grizzlies team begins, there is no chance of a moment of peace.
Because the Grizzly Bear has really become the ultimate troublemaker. If you can't beat him, he will force you to fight 50-50, or at least torture your opponent.
