The title of superstar was mentioned again and again, and then was questioned again and again. To say that he was not angry at all was definitely a lie.
However, Mr. Lu Xun has a good saying: "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!"
Wang Zelin always keeps these words in mind and constantly puts them into action.
If you have doubts, break them!
Until, no one dared to question him anymore.
Simply, through victory after victory, he used facts to completely prove to the demanding fans and media that he is worthy of the title of superstar.
Finally waited for the day to be called a superstar, of course Wang Zelin is happy!
Two days after the G2 game was scheduled, on June 8, it was still at the Rose Garden Arena.
At noon, Wang Zelin, who couldn't rest at home, went to the headquarters for daily shooting training.
After getting dressed and arriving at the training ground, he saw Lillard, Beverley, Barton, and Adams also on the court, conducting their own training.
It seems that the training time is not short.
"Oh my god, look who this is, our superstar is here!"
Will Barton was the first to notice Wang Zelin's arrival and shouted exaggeratedly.
"The boss is here?"
"king?"
"King? Where are you? You are really here..."
Beverly, Lillard, and Adams heard the sound and turned their heads with different expressions.
The first two sentences were okay. After hearing what Adams said, Wang Zelin suddenly had black lines on his head and said quietly:
"Steven, after hearing what you said, you really don't want to see me coming...
Shall I leave then?”
Damn it, the team agreed to have a day off today, and I naively thought that everyone was following the team's arrangements.
Unexpectedly, you older guys are actually practicing more secretly.
The most outrageous thing is that you didn’t even call me!
We agreed to be trash together, but you actually got involved secretly...
It’s really unbearable for my uncle, but intolerable for my aunt!
…
…
On the evening of the 8th, the G2 game of the 2013~2014 season finals began.
In this game, James still focused on the breakthrough with James and Wade, and the other players' defense and catching and shooting were supplemented. The style of play basically did not change much from the previous game.
But tonight, with a 1:0 lead, the Trail Blazers played much more boldly than in the last game. They no longer focused on defense at the beginning like in G1.
Three days later, the Blazers' leading star Zelin no longer played the defensive core role he played in the last game. Instead, he underwent a 180-degree change and became the vanguard general who launched the offensive clarion call.
Facing the Trail Blazers, whose playing style suddenly changed dramatically, the Heat were caught off guard and were forced to fight attack with attack.
However, there is a huge difference between the two teams, and that is the ability to protect the frame.
With Wang Zelin and his team here, the Heat might not be able to beat the Trail Blazers in rebounding in this series.
After the playoffs, when the defensive intensity gradually increases, it is not unreasonable to say "those who get rebounds win the world".
The Heat didn't expect Wang Zelin to attack like crazy. What they didn't expect was that once Wang Zelin started attacking mode, he would be so unstoppable.
The Heat persisted for three quarters and were exhausted until the fourth quarter, when their physical fitness declined and then collapsed.
93:105, thus losing the G2 game.
Wang Zelin played 37 minutes, made 14 of 23 shots, and scored 33 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
…
…
After losing two games in a row.
The morning after returning to Miami.
Spoelstra and Pat Riley held a tactical meeting together, and of course, the latter made the final decision on specific matters.
Pat Riley said to Bosh: "Chris, now it's time for us to fight hard. I need you to strengthen the inside attack in the next game, okay?"
Although he didn't understand why Parker Riley would increase his usage rate in the next game, Bosh still stood up from his seat, clasped his hands, and replied sonorously: "Mr. Riley, I've done it.
The preparations for the bloody battle with the Pioneers until the last minute are just waiting for your words."
"Yeah," Parker Riley nodded, and then continued:
"The reason why Wang Zelin was able to do such crazy things as blocking 8 shots in a single game in the last game was largely due to his terrifying help defense."
"With all due respect, the breadth and quality of his help defense are probably not inferior to that of the Magic Beast during the Magic era. LeBron, you should feel this the most deeply."
When James heard this, he nodded first, and then shook his head: "That guy not only has Howard's terrifying defense at the basket, but also has superb offensive skills that Howard may never be able to develop. He is so incomprehensible!"
Everyone did not expect that James would give Wang Zelin such a high evaluation. But what made them feel even more strange was that they did not think this evaluation was too excessive.
On the contrary, they think it is normal.
Pat Riley nodded silently, acknowledging Wang Zelin's strength, but he did not want to see the morale of the Heat players be dampened. He clapped his hands to wake everyone up from their thinking state.
"Back to the topic just now. In my opinion, the reason why Wang Zelin dared to make up for it unscrupulously, making LeBron and Dwyane's breakthrough extremely uncomfortable, is largely due to the lack of deterrence inside our team. So the breakthrough is
exist……"
Pat Riley suddenly stopped when he said this, and then looked at Bosh.
Bosh pointed to himself, confused: "Mr. Riley, are you looking at me?"
Pat Riley nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Yes, the key to breaking the situation is you, Chris."
Next, he began to express his thoughts to Bosh, James, Wade and others:
"It is true that the gap between us and the Trail Blazers in the paint is too big, especially on the defensive end. The difference is not even a little bit behind the opponent. But even so, we cannot completely give up on the inside. On the contrary, in the next game we will increase Chris's presence in the paint.
The low-post singles tactics allow him to play on the offensive end."
Hearing this, James, who has a high golf quotient, thought thoughtfully: "As long as Chris is open on the inside, then Wang will not dare to cover up to the outside."
"That's right." Pat Riley looked at him with a "teachable" look and said, "After all, among our inside players, only Chris has the hope of containing Wang Zelin with offensive firepower, and only Chris can contain Wang Zelin."
, LeBron, you and everyone can be liberated."
"So, I decided to let Chris take charge of the attack in the next game. And LeBron, your task is to defend well. It is best to be like Wang Zelin in the last game, to be everywhere on the defensive end."
James and Bosh looked at each other, then nodded toward Pat Riley.
