NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 160 The first comeback defending champion
Two hours later, Wang Zelin's first Time Magazine interview ended. After the interview, Zhou Yang immediately chose to spread the news.

For Wang Zelin, being able to be featured in such an international current affairs weekly, apart from the increase in personal influence, is more beneficial than the skyrocketing fan value.

After Tianchao News received the news, it directly put on the news broadcast at 7 p.m.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

In the United States, James immediately congratulated Wang Zelin on his official social media account, saying "Congratulations my brother..."

League No.1 took the initiative to speak out, and many players rushed to follow suit.

Followed by Melo Anthony of the Big Apple, who responded with a very official "Congratulations!"

The remaining two of the Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust quickly expressed their opinions, and those who didn't know thought it was an appointment in advance.

In addition to congratulations, many players refused to be interviewed.

The vanguard is Dwight Howard.

No matter how envious and jealous everyone is in their hearts, it still cannot change the fact.

Wang Zelin became the third basketball player in NBA history to be featured in Time Magazine in his third rookie season.

The NBA player of Ancient Times Weekly in the first rookie season was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has the status of President Hill at the center position.

The second is when Yao Ming was selected as the No. 2002 pick in the [-] NBA draft.

The third one is Wang Zelin.

Michael Jordan said: "Finally there is no me!"

……

This kind of cover interview with the top international authoritative media, except for political celebrities or international tycoons, as far as basketball players are concerned, no one cares what the content of the interview is.

Focus on one word - 13 grids!
It's just that the interview with Time Magazine came a little suddenly, and Wang Zelin's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The prices of his previous endorsements seemed to be low. If he had known that there would be this interview, he should have postponed the business negotiation for a few days.

Wang Zelin is very depressed now.

Blame BoGt!
If it wasn't for that mad dog biting people, I wouldn't say that I earned "2 coolness power", at least "1.5 coolness" is guaranteed.

Gan!
……

After confirming the release time of the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, sales of Wang Zelin's peripheral products skyrocketed.

Especially jerseys, the total sales reached the top ten in the league in one fell swoop, becoming the only inside player in the top ten sales.

Dwight Howard dropped out of the top ten due to his poor record.

The outside world has heated discussions, but Zelin's personal life has not been affected much, and he still needs to eat, drink, and sleep.

……

On the night of the 12th, the Trail Blazers went to Oklahoma City to challenge the Thunder, but they were beaten to shame.

107:92, lost to Oklahoma City by 15 points.

For the Thunder, Durant made 39 of 24 shots in 12 minutes and scored 36 points, which is a good explanation of what is called "the essence of human [-]% shooting rate".

Second master Westbrook contributed 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists in a quasi-triple-double data, and the day when the sewer seal is lifted is not far away.

The inside gate Ibaka scored 12 points, 17 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Facing the Trail Blazers without Wang Zelin, he successfully dominated the penalty area with his length.

em... the length of the hand.

For the Trail Blazers, Aldridge scored a team-high double-double with 28 points and 11 rebounds. Batum scored 21 points with undiminished firepower compared to previous games.

The loss is largely due to Lillard.

Lillard's performance was sluggish tonight, scoring only 15 points on 3 of 9 shots and successfully undercover.

In this battle, the Thunder's record came to 28 wins and 9 losses, consolidating their first record in the league.

However, Wang Zelin knew that in half a month, when that incident started, the Thunder's dream of a regular season championship would be shattered.

……

After losing to the Thunder, the Blazers ushered in another formidable enemy.

Just defeated the Grizzlies and came to the Denver Nuggets, the fourth running and jumping team in the West.

In my impression, under the leadership of Karl George, this civilian Nuggets has a record of 57 wins and 25 losses in the third place in the West, only one win less than the second Spurs, and its tenacity can be imagined.

When two playoff-level teams meet, there are bound to be casualties.

The Nuggets beat the Trail Blazers 115-111 in overtime.

After this campaign, the Nuggets ushered in the longest six-game winning streak in the new season, ranking fourth in the Western Conference with 25 wins and 13 losses, while the Blazers ranked third in the Western Conference with 26 wins and 12 losses.

Portland fans realized the importance of Wang Zelin after successive losses to the Thunder and Nuggets that they had won.

With Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers are a 100% playoff-level team. Without Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers are very likely to fall to the edge of the top eight.

"King, come back quickly!"

……

Founded in 1988 and joining the NBA, the Heat are an NBA team in Miami, Florida, with their home court at the American Airlines Center Arena in downtown Miami.

The Miami fan market is very good, especially after winning the first championship in team history in 2006, fans have become more and more fond of the Heat.

After winning the second championship in team history last year, the Heat have become the second most profitable team in the East.

As for the number one, there is no doubt that it is the Big Apple City that occupies the right time, location, and people.

At 16 o'clock in the morning on the 10th, Wang Zelin, whose suspension was over, came to Miami with the team to challenge the defending champion Heat in an away game.

The Trail Blazers team shuttled through the streets of Miami. Wang Zelin looked out the window and said, "Miami is really a very livable place!"

Sunshine and sandy beaches, warmth and green leaves, and beauties of all colors in sexy dresses can be seen everywhere, forming the most charming theme on this peninsula.

"Wang, tonight ~ um!"

Batum next to him said with a bad smile.

"You bastard with a brain, put away your dirty thoughts first, and don't forget that our opponent tonight is the unavoidable champion Heat in the Eastern Conference." Lillard's face was very serious.

"OK! I understand, I mean, if I win..."

"Then wait until we win."

Wang Zelin interrupted Batum's speech and closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Tonight is Wang Zelin's comeback battle, and it is also a focus battle.

The gunfire of the war has not yet officially started, and the outside world is already talking about it.

Many good people specifically interviewed the Heat players and asked who they thought about tonight's game.

Some members of the Heat responded very directly, bluntly saying that there will be no surprises tonight, and the victory will be kept in Miami.

Even if the opponent is the young and unlimited Trail Blazers.

Of course, only role players such as Haslem, Chalmers, and Josh Harrison responded positively. The Big Three like James, Wade, and Bosh have never made a clear response.

Even though the younger brothers had already spoken their minds, James kept silent on the surface.

Until a reporter mentioned Wang Zelin, James finally spoke, and he was not stingy with the words of praise he knew in his life.

"Wang is a very good young man. God, that terrifying strength reminds me of my good brother Shaquille in an instant. They are both terrible beasts at the basket," James continued with a shrug. "Of course, Wang's free throws are much better than Shaquille's."

Wade on the side laughed and said, "If Shaquille had the free throw skills like Wang, maybe I would have more than two championships now."

"Hahaha!"

The speeches of James and Wade aroused the laughter of the reporters, and before they knew it, they forgot the purpose of the initial interview.
