At 7 o'clock in the evening, Wang Zelin came to the team's training arena for shooting training.
Anyway, public resources don’t cost your own money, so if you don’t use them, they will go to waste.
Johnny, a 51-year-old black man at the door, was already used to Wang Zelin's daily extra training. He greeted him enthusiastically: "Wang, I'm here for extra training again. You Chinese players are really working hard!"
"Hahaha, Uncle Johnny, I told you that you should give me a key so that you can go home early to accompany Aunt Sophia. I have trained you and I promise to close the door for you." Wang Zelin responded with a smile.
An NBA team is composed of many personnel. In addition to players and coaching staff, security guards are people who are easily ignored.
In fact, their loyalty is no less than that of most fans, and even some elderly security guards have regarded the team as their second home. They also look forward to the team getting better.
"Forget it, this is my responsibility, and I have been doing it for 22 years. Sophia and the children have long been used to it."
Wang Zelin's words made Johnny instantly transform into an "old stubborn" and refused with a serious face.
"Okay, I'll go in first, see you later."
"Practice hard and pay attention to your health. I really hope you can bring a second championship to Portland. The last time I saw a championship team tour the city was 35 years ago. I seemed to be not even older than you at that time..."
"
"Don't worry, there will be a day."
Wang Zelin raised his right hand and waved, and went in without looking back.
Half an hour later, Lillard also came to the arena gate.
"Uncle Johnny, is the king here?"
"Oh, Damien, the king has been here for half an hour."
Uncle Johnny, who was leaning on the chair, took off his hat and replied lazily.
"knew."
Lillard quickly opened the door and kept mumbling, "That brat, you lied to me again. We agreed to meet at the door at 7:30, but you came so early~~~"
"Hey, it's great to be young! Portland's second championship trophy might actually be something..."
After watching Lillard go in, Johnny covered his head with his hat again and hummed an unknown ditty.

After the Trail Blazers played several away games, it was finally their turn to play at home. This time the opponent was the Goose City Thunder, last season's overall runner-up.
While the coaches from both sides handed in their rosters, the players from both sides also came to the court to warm up.
As the Thunder and Trail Blazers are currently recognized as the two most promising young guards, this game naturally attracted a lot of attention from the media and scouts from each team.
For this game, which is known as the "Battle of the Strongest Young Forces," TNT TV station was also very generous and sent their ace commentator combination of Charles Barkley and Kenneth Smith.
This pair's commentary style is humorous and highly praised by fans.
Especially when Barkley bet that Yao Ming would not score 19 points in a single game during his rookie season, otherwise he would kiss Smith's ass.
As a result, Yao Ming successfully scored more than 19 points. According to the bet, Barkley actually kissed the butt of a donkey with the same name as Kenny Smith in the live broadcast room in public.
"Hey baby, look, Yao's fellow countryman has appeared."
After Smith saw Wang Zelin come on the court, he happily kicked Charles Barkley.
"I've seen it a long time ago. His performance is much better than Yao's back then."
Buckley adjusted his tie seriously, as if there was a beautiful woman inside that was attracting him.
"Then you still remember~~~"
"Stop, let's take a look at the lineups of both sides first."
Buckley quickly took his hand away from his tie and picked up the file in front of him with a swish. This action made everyone watching the live broadcast smile knowingly, but no one paid attention to the extremely blunt way of changing the topic.
On the field, two players came to near the center circle.
"Serge, long time no see!"
"The same goes for you, Wang. You have made quite a name for yourself recently!"
Although Wang Zelin and Ibaka were not friends at the Olympics, they could still be said to be acquaintances. This was their first meeting in the NBA, so they couldn't avoid hugging each other.
Again, fans love to see this.
"The victory in this game is still mine."
Ibaka understands the principle of courtesy first and then attacking. As soon as the last link was completed, it was time to fire off the cannons.
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. My teammates are not bad this time."
While replying, Wang Zelin still maintained his unchanged smile.
"See you at the game."
Ibaka turned and walked towards his teammates.
Seeing Ibaka's retreating back, Wang Zelin's smile disappeared instantly and turned into a serious look. He had just checked the entire strength of the Thunder team and was quite shocked.
Durant, who has a super rating of 95, has astonishing 94 mid-range shots, 87 long-range shots, 92 layups, 83 dunks and other gorgeous abilities in his offensive attributes. His defensive attributes include 87 external defense, 72 internal defense, blocks and
The steals have also exceeded 70.
It is said that LeBron James is one of the most comprehensive players in NBA history. In fact, Durant can also be called comprehensive. None of the 23 individual ability values are lower than 65.
Obviously, this is Du Xiaoshuai who has initially reached the peak of his career, and Wang Zelin is sure that Durant has not yet reached his peak at this time, and he will be even stronger in the future.
This can be seen from his three purple and two yellow talent skill configurations, almost all of which are related to shooting.
A purple diamond-level marksman, quick shooter, and dominant player in the penalty area, all with enhanced shooting abilities, as well as a gold-level finisher with a big heart.
At the same time, Westbrook's rating is also a terrifying 91.
Westbrook's strength has reached superstar level, which Wang Zelin never expected, and this guy's attributes related to attacking the frame are infinitely close to MAX.
His talent skill configuration is three yellow and one purple, and the purple diamond level talent skill is Dunk Tianzun. You must know that Wang Zelin's is only gold now... He needs 50 million fan points to upgrade to the purple diamond level!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, there are three gold-level talents: Terminator, Breakthrough Elite, and Physical Expert.
Coupled with the "crooked machine gun" Kevin Martin of 82, the super defensive gate Ibaka of 81, and the pure defensive inside Kendrick Perkins of 71~~~
This game is difficult!
In the live broadcast room, Barkley seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and started yelling.
"Oh, my God, Kenny, I just discovered that the Blazers' recent five-game winning streak is their best start in the new century. It surpasses the four-game winning streak at the beginning of the 1999-00 season and is second only to team history.
Second was the eight-game winning streak in the 1992-93 season and the 11-game winning streak in the 1999-91 season.”
"Really? Let me take a look," Kenneth Smith cooperated with Buckley's performance tacitly and exclaimed after receiving the report.
"Really, then the Trail Blazers have made an unprecedented start in twenty years. It seems that other strong teams in the league should pay more attention. A new star is rising!"
In the Thunder locker room, after hearing the exaggerated tone of Barkley and Kenneth Smith, Du Xiaoshuai, who was browsing the website on his mobile phone, said with disdain: "This kind of weird little record is worthy of shouting.
How ridiculous!”
If you want to brag, you should also brag about me as the "youngest scoring champion in history", okay?
"KD, um, actually, our team's best start to the season was also five consecutive wins, which you just led us to last season. Have you forgotten?"
On the side, Wei saw that Durant was in a good mood and rarely dropped his phone, so he gave a very heart-warming reminder.
"Ah! Oh, is that so? It seems like this record is really rare..."
Durant laughed awkwardly, and Ibaka, who was tying his shoelaces at the side, didn't know why, so he also laughed.
Unexpectedly, this smile immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding teammates. Everyone was scratching their heads, but seeing that the eldest brother and the third brother were both laughing, the others quickly responded.
The Thunder locker room turned into a sea of laughter for a while, leaving Westbrook alone with his big round eyes staring at him, stunned on the spot, neither standing nor sitting.
