NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 351 Ten consecutive victories
After playing the away game in Detroit, the Blazers bought tickets with the team to return to Portland overnight.
The next two games, they will play at home, the first to usher in a back-to-back with the Cavaliers at home tomorrow.
The next day, Wang Zelin got up early, not because of the night's game. In his opinion, the Cavaliers were completely nothing to worry about. There is still a public welfare activity to participate in today, and it is best to be in the fullest state.
"At 10 o'clock in the morning, go to the orphanage to donate daily necessities and extracurricular books? That's great, as long as the children don't be scared by us, hahahaha."
"After lunch, take the children to visit the team's training, um... want me to take them to practice?"
Wang Zelin looked at Terry Stotts, who nodded with a smile: "Wang, you are our absolute trump card, you can work hard!"
"Okay, it might be a bit of a hassle, but to be honest, I still enjoy playing with kids."
Since he became famous, he has done a lot of charity work in China. Although this is the first time in the United States, he is not very resistant.
...
...
...
"Wang, I want to try a dunk, can you help me?"
"Haha, of course no problem, Fregues, come..."
When Wang Zelin appeared in the orphanage, a group of children jumped around him. This innocent smile was absolutely impossible to pretend.
The problem of needing donations was handed over to the children without parents. He did not leave immediately, but stayed and played with the children.
To be honest, what Wang Zelin is doing now will not bring him any direct benefits, neither can he improve his record nor widen his wallet.
But whether in the Celestial Dynasty or in Milliken, every time he participated in public welfare activities, he was very happy, because he knew that he was doing something within his power for those in need.
Looking at the group of children of different skin colors from his own, at this moment, he also had a pure smile on his face, no longer involved in any intrigue and disputes of interests in the adult world.
"A group of black kids are mingling with an Asian. This scene, I am afraid that the whole league will only appear in Portland!"
Aldridge looked at Wang Zelin surrounded by children, and even felt a little envious in his heart.
From the controversial rookie who entered the league to the well-deserved top card of the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin's influence in Portland has become more and more huge.
Aldridge has foreseen that if the Blazers can really win the regular season championship this year and then reach the finals, Wang Zelin will immediately have an unparalleled influence in the city;
If everyone finally wins the championship, he will surpass the "red giant" Bill Walton and become the greatest player in the history of the Blazers, no one!
After Roy retired, Aldridge has always wanted to do something for the Blazers and help the team reach the top.
But he knew that, by his own words, the Blazers had little hope of reaching the top. Well now, these things have already been done by another young man...
"Since you can't become the king, then strive to become the man behind the king who gives the most support."
At this moment, Aldridge had an extremely firm decision in his heart.
Four p.m.
After sending off the children who came to visit the arena, Wang Zelin was in a good mood, grabbed the ball and performed a few dunks.
Batum joked: "Wang, are you preparing for the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest?"
Matthews came over and bumped Batum's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Do you need me to help with the news? Trust me, if our new president finds out, 10,000% will agree with Wang's application."
"Don't make trouble. I know how much I have. If I really want to participate in the slam dunk contest, I guess I will make a lot of jokes."
At first, Wang Zelin was quite moved, but the next moment he looked at his dynamic body data, and immediately dismissed this tempting idea.
McGee's dynamic body during the Warriors period was good, but after all, it was not the peak state of the Nuggets.
Just wait.
When you get Zhang 20,000, it will not be too late to participate in the slam dunk contest.
"What? I don't want to."
After Yi Jianlian hit a 3-pointer from the bottom corner, he came over and asked.
"???"
Wang Zelin was at a loss when asked, what is it?
Yi Jianlian continued: "I mean, I really didn't expect you to like children so much. If so, why don't you get married quickly so that you can have a baby."
"Marriage!" Wang Zelin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Brother Ah Lian, I'm afraid you have forgotten that men in our country under the age of 22 do not meet the legal age of marriage in the marriage law."
"That's right, it looks like you'll have to wait another two years. Alas, unlike me, you'll be a father soon."
"..."
Are you sure you're not here to show off?
Wang Zelin gave him a contemptuous look and went back to the locker room to take a shower.
There will be a press conference in a while, and I'm still busy.
...
I have to say, Owen is really hot recently.
The gorgeous style of play and the good looks among black players have stimulated the fan market. From the All-Star voting to the present, he has been leading all Eastern backcourt players.
This year's All-Star starter, Irving can be regarded as locking a spot in the Eastern Conference backcourt in advance.
So much so that during the pre-match interviews, the media interviewed in an endless stream, and they were all asking Wang Zelin's opinion on Owen's high probability of being selected as the All-Star starter.
To be honest, from the perspective of future generations, Irving has always been an overrated type among NBA players, because of that three-pointer, people's expectations for him are too high.
In all fairness, Wang Zelin's evaluation of Irving is very simple, just a normal All-Star level player, never a league superstar.
But now that the morale of the family is high and the name is big, he doesn't want to make trouble, so he chooses to cooperate with the media and casually echoes two sentences.
"There is no doubt that Kyrie is a very talented guard, he definitely has the hope of becoming the best No. 1 in the league, and I am very optimistic about his prospects."
At first, the media enjoyed it, but gradually, they noticed something was wrong.
Listening to this tone, those who didn't know thought that a highly respected senior was cheering the young man up.
Obviously Irving entered the league first, okay?
The media hadn't had time to think about it, and when the words reached the ears of Owen, who happened to be interviewing next door, there was a lot of joy in his heart.
He secretly said, "I didn't expect the king to be so optimistic about me. Could this be what the Chinese people often say about heroes cherishing each other?"
At 5:10 pm, Owen and his teammates entered the court of the Rose Garden Arena. Wang Zelin checked the strength of the enemy team's top card as usual.

"Huh! Yes, my Ou Shenxian has improved by 3 points compared to last season, and has awakened three talent skills..."
"That's right, this guy plays on a bad team like the Cavaliers. He can make it to the All-Star Game in the second year based on statistics and personal performance. This year, he is even more popular in the starting lineup. In the East where the guards gather, it is not good to have no hard goods..."
Wang Zelin looked at Owen's ability evaluation, and couldn't help but shine, especially the ball-handling ability as high as 98. If he can have this ball control, it is estimated that his organizational ability will be stronger than one level.
On Owen's side, he feels that he has reached the peak of his life now. First, the praise from the media is endless, and before the game, he was highly recognized by the Trail Blazers No. 36...
Breaking into the All-Star for two consecutive years, especially this year is very likely to be the starter!
He has been imagining that after the end of his rookie contract, he will attract a star to join Cleveland, grow bigger and stronger, and create brilliant together. The best candidate is undoubtedly No. 36 of the Trail Blazers...
As for Andre Bynum, who was just signed by the Cavaliers front office, Irving has long been disappointed in him.
This guy is no longer the former Lakers champion center. In the dozen games he played against the Cavaliers this season, he averaged only 8 points and 5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was terribly low, only 42%.
An inside line, the efficiency of playing is even lower than his own outside line.
Owen thought to himself: Bai Bing, he was going to start a big business with him at the beginning of the competition.
"Wang, my brother, it's time to meet you. You may not know that I've been preparing for this game for too long..."
As soon as he came up, Owen took the initiative to find Wang Zelin, and the words were full of cordiality.
"???"
Suddenly, not only Wang Zelin, but also the teammates on both sides who were warming up were confused.
Do you still have this relationship?
Teammates from both sides sent questioning eyes together.
"a ha ha ha!"
Wang Zelin showed an embarrassed rather than a respectable smile, with Owen holding his hand, and eloquently speaking some words he didn't understand at all.
Is our relationship so good?
I do not know how?
...
In the home locker room.
"Wang, what's the matter with you and that No. 2?"
"There is adultery!"
"You'd better explain it to us, otherwise, hehe..."
"..."
Wang Zelin glanced at the surrounding teammates speechlessly, and almost took out his heart and lungs for them to check.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't even have his contact information?"
"Really?"
Lillard was still puzzled.
"of course it's true."
Wang Zelin nodded hurriedly.
"I do not believe!"
Lillard shook his head.
"..."
I Nima?
Wang Zelin was mad on the spot, he had never been so speechless in his two lives.
"Clap clap clap!"
A familiar voice rang out.
Everyone looked back and saw Coach Terry walked into the locker room.
"Guys, although the strength of the knights can't bring us any trouble, we still can't relax..."
Sure enough, it was the same old talk when he opened his mouth, but fortunately, Coach Terry stepped in, allowing Wang Zelin to temporarily break free from everyone's skeptical eyes.
But he's still pissed!
It's all to blame for the **** European champion, wait and see, I want you to look good in a while.
...
5:30pm.
Back-to-back games between the Blazers and the Cavaliers are officially underway.
Since both sides have super popular players, tonight's game will be broadcast live by TNT and ESPN, and it has also created a huge public opinion atmosphere before the game, which makes the fans' hearts full of expectations.
Will it be a battle of dragons and tigers?
of course not!
Although it is already the third season, the Cavaliers are still the old way of playing, and letting Irving continue to practice and level up and buy tickets.
Of course, it's not that the Cavaliers management hasn't tried hard. It's just that Kecun's attraction to other NBA stars is too low, which is a natural disadvantage, and it is difficult to change the day after tomorrow.
One thing to say, if it wasn't for the selection of a LeBron James in 2003, it is estimated that few people would pay attention to the little-known small ball city Cleveland.
This season, in order to strengthen the team's hope of entering the playoffs, the Cavaliers did not hesitate to spend a two-year contract of about 24.5 million meters to sign "The King" Bynum, who was reimbursed for the season last season because of his knee position. , As a result, Ainam's performance was disappointing, and even the management of the Cavaliers became the laughing stock of fans.
As for Owen?
Don't make trouble, until now, I am afraid that Irving is still immersed in it, and everyone can see the gap between him and James.
It can be called an excellent scorer, a killer, but never a qualified leader.
In his third year, if Irving could prove his leadership, he would have led the Cavaliers back to the playoffs long ago.
As a result he didn't do it.
Therefore, when the Cavaliers management found that the introduction of Bynum was useless, and Irving lacked the ability to lead the team, decisively began to rot again.
They still don’t believe in evil. Without a LeBron, can the Cavaliers never make it to the playoffs?
The big deal is that we are competing for the first draft lottery this year, so we can't hold another great Bennett.
Not to mention, in terms of how to lead a team to lose and rebuild, Irving definitely has a unique ability, and even the Cavaliers management themselves firmly believe this.
In the end, Irving didn't let them down.
At 112:102, the Cavaliers didn't give the Blazers any trouble. Except for the loss to the Suns in early December, the Blazers won all of the next nine games.
Wang Zelin, who lightly scored 23 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, once again became the best player in the game.
In this game, the Cavaliers started Kyrie Irving for the longest time, and he performed equally well. In 34 minutes of playing, he made 9 of 22 shots, 3 of 7 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored a double-double of 25 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists~www.mtlnovel.com~ Irving's performance Wang Zelin is all in his eyes, If nothing else, he was convinced that Irving was at the top of the league in terms of finishing at the rim alone.
In the future, people will do things off the field, and their strength on the field must be recognized.
...
After sending Irving away, the Blazers rested for two days, and the Timberwolves have come to challenge the gongs and drums.
Just take the Timberwolves and they'll have their second 10-game winning streak of the season, isn't it exciting?
That night, the performance of the Timberwolves was also very consistent with their experience. The star, Kevin Love, was still unstoppable. He scored 29 points and 15 rebounds in a big double-double. The rout trend of the Timberwolves from beginning to end can not stop.
At 107:95, the Blazers successfully defeated the Timberwolves with a 12-point advantage, and finally achieved a 10-game winning streak in December.
For a time, the alliance was shocked!
