NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

"Hahahaha! Can't think of it, Charles, I won again!"

Kenny Smith looked at Charles Barkley with joy in the TNT live booth.

"Hmph, what do you want to eat tonight? You set the place, I'll invite it!"

Barkley glanced resentfully at the trailing Blazers players, his heart was bleeding.

In tonight's game, Carmelo Anthony played 38 minutes, made 14 of 29 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 11 free throws, and scored 37 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, an absolute thigh.

It's a pity that he lost to the Blazers in the end, and was successfully selected as the newest empty chopping group leader.

However, Barkley is more concerned with Anthony's other stats, such as "only" three caps...

Yes, it's just one block away, as long as Anthony is taken once, he becomes such a gamble, since Kenny Smith has a good blood.

Now, all plans are ruined.

In this game, Wang Zelin still maintained a stable performance of more than 20+10+3+1. After 30 minutes of playing, he scored a quasi-triple-double of 24 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. He also had 2 blocks and 1 steal. The column was all filled, and by the way, he also took the best player of the game.

His playing time was concentrated in the first half, almost full. In the second half, he only played more than 2 minutes in the third quarter, and only 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. That's why Barkley shouted regrets: Play a little longer in the second half, and you may win the bet yourself.

...

On the bus back to the hotel, everyone was still thinking about the game just now. However, some people were thinking about the next night life.

After all, this is New York!

"Brother Ah Lian, do you want to experience it tonight? What is exotic style? Swing is supreme!"

Wang Zelin poked Yi Jianlian's waist with his fingers and winked.

"What exotic style, swinging..." Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what the other party said, and waved his hand awkwardly: "Forget it, I'm not interested in that thing."

This is the truth.

In addition to Wang Zelin, the Chinese players who have landed in the NBA in the past, from Wang Zhizhi and Shane Battier to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, are all clean, humble, and low-key off the court. In comparison, they are definitely high-quality idols.

It was not until the appearance of Wang Zelin that the American media and fans saw the other side of the "uninhibited" side of the Chinese players.

However, Wang Zelin just has more lace news and more fans, and only occasionally makes fun of it, even the fans of the Celestial Dynasty.

And this is the difference between sports stars and entertainment stars. The first thing they guarantee is the performance of the sports field. As long as they play well on the field, when they are off the field, unless it is a principled problem such as a d product, it will be difficult to break down.

"Oh, just do as the locals do." Wang Zelin laughed.

Yi Jianlian said helplessly: "Forget it, you can have fun yourself."

"Then... Let's have a couple of drinks together," Wang Zelin continued, seeing Yi Jianlian's movement, "In a serious place, I'll just have a couple of drinks to celebrate. Everyone has to come, so you can't help but come."

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you."

"Hahaha, that's right."

Then, Wang Zelin got up from his seat and roared excitedly: "Brothers, I suggest that you should not go back to the hotel and find a place to have fun. What do you think?"

As soon as the voice fell, a wolf howl sounded in the chartered car.

Matthews: "Agreed!"

Batum: "Don't worry, I know New York very well, there are many good places."

"Nicholas, I'm afraid you have been waiting for the king's words?" Mo Williams laughed.

"Hahaha……"

The crowd laughed.

...

...

...

At noon the next day, the Trail Blazers flew back to Portland and finished the game with the Knicks on No. 8. The next game was set on No. 10 against the Jazz. They had a day and a half of rest.

"Wang, the two Brazilian girls I introduced to you yesterday, are they on time?"

On the plane, Batum came over with a smile, and Wang Zelin asked here.

Speaking of this, Wang Zelin's expression instantly brightened, and this was all seen by Batum.

Sure enough, Wang Zelin touched his waist subconsciously with his right hand and licked his tongue: "Those two young Brazilian models are really hot and open..."

Batum exclaimed excitedly: "What is a Brazilian tender model? That's because you haven't experienced the style of our French beauties. You must know that our capital, Paris, is a world-famous romantic capital!"

"Well, it seems that it is necessary for me to go to France for a vacation during the off-season. Don't forget to do your best at that time." Wang Zelin rubbed his hands and suggested immediately.

"And I!"

"Add me one!"

"Me too!"

"That's it, let's go to Brazil for vacation together during the offseason."

When the Blazers returned, yesterday's game was hyped by the media.

"What about 37 points? As for Anthony's nth empty cut this season, the empty cut group leader deserves his name!"

"With just one Tyson Chandler missing, last year's Eastern Conference semifinals team turned into a rotten team? Or is Tyson Chandler the real leader of the Knicks..."

"It turns out that Cameron was never a good leader!"

It is unimaginable that most of the above remarks accusing Anthony came from the local media in New York. It can also be seen from various reports that New York fans have become intolerable for the poor start of the Knicks this year.

In a mansion in New York.

"His!"

Suddenly there was a sound of the phone falling to the ground, cracking and shattering.

"Damn it! Why are you talking about me? Why are you clinging to me? Don't I want to win?"

Thinking of the various negative reports on the phone screen just now, Anthony roared like crazy.

After a long time, Anthony took out a backup cell phone and called Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh.

"What's wrong? Cameron."

After getting through, a man's low voice came from the other end of the phone.

Anthony said quietly: "Donnie, I think it's time for us to make a change!"

"en..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Mike Woodson! I don't want to see him anymore, I hope the team can find a better coach with leadership ability, instead of always blaming the mediocrity of the players."

Anthony went straight to the point of his intentions.

The core players ask to change the head coach!

Magical?

It's very magical.

This kind of thing is almost impossible in other basketball leagues. In the ncaa college league, where the basketball atmosphere is considered to be better and purer than the nba, the head coach can even cover the sky, symbolizing absolute authority that cannot be challenged.

However, who made this the nba?

After all, the nba is a business alliance. Everyone is here to make a lot of money, and who can help you make money?

In other words, who is the irreplaceable commodity?

Without a doubt, the players, especially the star players.

Donnie Walkersh was silent for a while: "Cameron, I want to know, is this your personal idea or..."

Anthony didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and replied decisively: "It's everyone's unanimous idea!"

"Okay, I know."

"If possible, the sooner the better!"

"Dudududu!"

Putting down the phone, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Mike Woodson, who arrived at the beginning of last season, got along very well with the players, and D'Antoni's relationship was also very friendly, but that was based on the premise of the team's good record.

This season, the Knicks have suffered repeated player absences due to injuries, and their record has been in a mess. The basketball team cannot win. The so-called happiness is actually thinner than paper.

In Anthony's view, as one of the league's supergiants, he must bear the greatest responsibility for losing games. At the same time, Anthony has never been a player willing to accept criticism, accusations and doubts.

Therefore, the Knicks' poor record now requires someone to stand up and pay for it.

The result is obvious. Mike Woodson, who just took office last year and officially signed a multi-year contract with the Knicks this year, has become the best scapegoat and the best punching bag in Anthony's mind.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Mike Woodson for his shallow foundation. Besides, even D'Antoni, the master of running and shooting, can be run away by Anthony, let alone a Mike Woodson.

...

If Anthony has received a lot of criticism and criticism, then Wang Zelin has received a lot of praise and praise.

the reason is simple.

Because the Pacers lost to San Antonio on the night of the 8th, and failed to continue their winning streak, they won 16 games, but lost one more game. The record became 16 wins and 4 losses, still ranked first in the Eastern Conference. one.

However, they are no longer the first in the league.

The Trail Blazers easily defeated the Knicks as expected by Yang, and also overtook the Pacers as expected, and returned to the top of the league in record.

In the 4 games since December, the Trail Blazers have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. In all the 3 games they won, Wang Zelin was named the best player of the game. As for the loss to the Suns, it happened to be Wang Zelin's second time this season. Rotation.

Therefore, a gust of wind began to blow outside, roughly saying, "The pioneers need Wang Zelin so much!"

"The insider will continue to dominate the league!"

"To dominate the basket is to dominate the court!"

"Who said that tradition is dying? We want a king!"

"..."

There is a saying that winning is not terrible, and whoever is missing is embarrassed!

Conversely reasoning, too.

With Wang Zelin there, the Blazers won 3 of the 4 games in early December. When he was absent, the Blazers lost, not to mention the Western Suns. What are you waiting for?

Of course, all of this must be fueled by the media. After all, people want clicks. Wang Zelin is very clear about this, so he is still very calm in his heart.

...

On the 10th, the Blazers will meet the challenge of the Utah Jazz in this field, which is the first meeting between the two teams this season.

What is the status of the Utah team?

When the team's meritorious coach Jerry Sloan and former leader Delonde Fatty left the team, the Utah Jazz, led by Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, briefly returned to the postseason in the 2011-2012 season. After the game was finally swept by the Spurs 4-0, the Jazz management seemed to have accepted its fate and started the road of rebuilding the team.

No, this season's bad plan is more thorough. Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap are released, and it is to support the rookie Gordon Hayward to become the team leader.

In fact, Gordon Hayward cannot be said to be a rookie. He was selected by the Jazz with the ninth overall pick in the first round of the 2010 draft. This year is the last year of his rookie contract.

After being established as the core leader of the team, Gordon Hayward performed fairly well.

The first is that the playing time has reached a career-high average of 36 minutes per game, and various statistics have improved to a certain extent. The average per game can contribute 15 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. expectations.

The only embarrassment may be the Jazz's record. They suffered a 9-game losing streak at the beginning of the game. In the 9th game, they were pecking at each other with the Hornets. After finally winning 111:105 and 6 points, the Jazz began to kneel for a long time again. road.

So far, the Jazz have a record of 4 wins and 15 losses, firmly at the bottom of the Western Conference.

In this regard, the Timberwolves, Cavaliers, 75ers and other strong players in the league have expressed: I really can't see it, after just one season, the Jazz have practiced such superb swing skills. It is really terrifying.

Heck, let's get down to business.

In the game against the Jazz, no one cared about the Blazers, so they only dared to go wild a few days ago.

Before tonight's game started, many Blazers fans joked: "Don't watch this game~www.NovelMTL.com~Wake up is a victory."

Also, the Jazz this season is completely regarded as a cash machine, no matter which team encounters them, as long as they want to win, it is absolutely easy.

But the ridicule is ridiculed, the domestic court station gave the broadcast force is still great, and the veteran commentator Xu Ji was sent to be a live commentator for domestic fans.

During the pre-match training in the afternoon, as soon as he entered the arena, Wang Zelin saw Xu Jicheng walking towards him with a photographer.

Seeing this, he pushed away Batum, who was about to chat with him, and cut Yi Jianlian to his side.

Like this kind of live broadcast, if other TV stations are good, if it is the imperial TV station, he and Yi Jianlian must come out for an interview.

It's an unspoken rule.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I finally saw a living person."
