NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 192 Breaking the winning streak and the arrival of the parents

At 2 pm on February 5th, US time, some people from the Blazers arrived in Minnesota and held a pre-match meeting in the hotel as usual.

As a result, a piece of news interrupted on TV attracted everyone's attention.

"Howard is one-on-one with injuries, showing his true qualities as a man!" - Bleacher

"Is this our future leader? Forget it!" - Lakers Nation

For a while, there were overwhelming headlines about Howard getting drunk at the nightclub and eager to start the second battle in the car.

Even some domestic media couldn't wait to get together and started reporting overnight.

"Wang~Howard is in the headlines again~Tsk tsk tsk, there's no one else playing with cars at the entrance of the nightclub." Batum said.

Regarding this kind of thing, Wang Zelin was a little speechless. Are they so good at playing abroad?

Still, Howard City can play.

During the recuperation period, I did not forget to rescue the woman who stumbled ~ there are still two, should I say that he is a saint or a kidney man!

"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with us, just take a look, there will be games tonight."

Lillard shook his head bored, put on his headphones and leaned back.

"You should be a warning, never do such a thing in the future," Coach Terry felt that it was not safe enough, and continued, "If you really plan to do it, at least you have to find a bed!"

Coach Terry's words made the audience feel awkward.

……

at the same time.

Lakers general manager Kupchak is also very headache.

The team's record had just started to improve, and it seemed that they were only one place away from the gate of the playoffs. As a result, Howard made such a mess again.

Kubchak can now imagine that Kobe's mentality was absolutely blown up at this time.

After Howard missed the game due to injury, the outside world agreed that the Lakers would definitely fall into the vortex of failure again and continue their 8-game losing streak in away games.

At this time, Kobe certainly disagreed.

As I said earlier, it's okay to lose to anyone, but you can't lose to the Timberwolves.

因此在2月2日湖人和森林狼比赛中，科比得到砍下17分12篮板8助攻，一举打破了三项记录。

With 1208 appearances, he surpassed O'Neill and ranked 24th in history!

The number of free throws surpassed "Big O" Robertson and ranked third in history!
The number of free throws also surpassed the "Big O" and ranked sixth in history.

As a result, not long after Kobe swiped the screen, Howard in the team jumped out to steal the limelight... or in this way.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell!"

The phone in the general manager's office rang suddenly, and Kupchak's heart trembled. He didn't even need to think about who it was.

"Mitch, isn't Dwight recovering from his injury?"

The voice of the Black Mamba came from the phone, unexpectedly calm.

Everyone knows that it was like this before the volcano erupted, and it was surprisingly calm.

You ask me, who do I ask?

Kupchak felt helpless.

After hesitating for a while, when he was about to say something, Kobe continued: "If possible, trade that guy away!"

Kobe's words were like a bolt from the sky, and Kubchak hurriedly persuaded: "Kobe, the situation is not so serious. Besides, Howard is now the number one center in the league!"

"Have you ever seen the number one center in the league who has an annual salary of 2000 million but doesn't want to work hard in the game, and only wants to play Double Fly?"

Kobe's tone became more serious.

Today, Kobe finally sees the essence of Howard - just a child who can't grow up.

The most important thing is that Howard not only does not listen to his own words, but also does not obey the management of the coaching staff.

Obviously, as long as he plays the pick-and-roll honestly, the Lakers can become better, but in the end, he still can't hold back his face. This makes Kobe wonder.

At this moment, he even missed his little brother "Little Shark" Bynum.

Although Bynum is often short-circuited and has done a lot of brain-dead things, most of the time people can listen to advice anyway, and Kobe can suppress the former by asking himself.

But Howard is different~ not only loves to play, but also has a big temper.

"This……"

"If possible, the number 36 of the Trail Blazers should be traded first. It is really not possible. Discuss with the Kings management and check their tone!"

The league has also produced many excellent big men recently, which made Kobe quite envious.

"let me try!"

After hanging up the phone, Kupchak fell into deep thought. He didn't know whether to trade or not.

Maybe Kobe is also talking out of anger!
Why don't you call the boss!
Subconsciously, Kupchak thought of the 74-year-old Lakers owner Bass.

At the beginning of the season, Kupchak did not know how much effort he had put into the composition of the Galaxy Battleship F4, and he really didn't want to see his efforts go in vain.

In his plan, when Kobe is getting old, Howard will become the core of the Lakers' next generation.

It's just that the poor performance of the Lakers this season seems to prove once again that a team of superstars may not necessarily win.

The Lakers F4 is about to fall again!
Just then, the phone rang again—it was the boss's second son, Jim Buss.

……

At the Target Center, a massacre is taking place.

At the beginning of the season, under the leadership of Kevin Love, the Timberwolves had a record of 8 wins and 4 losses, and there was a tendency to enter the playoffs.

But with Kevin Love's season reimbursement, the Timberwolves once again fell into an endless cycle of failure.

Although the team's failure once again made the Forest Wave fans angry, they still quickly corrected their mentality.

Anyway, losing has become a daily occurrence, and the fans who can still come to support at this time are hardcore fans.

Just like the national football team later, football has become a norm, but there are still a large number of fans who never leave.

Perhaps, this is true love!
Not surprisingly, the Trail Blazers won the second game of 7 consecutive away games. The Timberwolves, who lost the wolf king, struggled for two quarters under the leadership of the golden boy Rubio, and finally lost.

阿尔德里奇29分、利拉德23分、王泽林20分13篮板5助攻，开拓者队以118:102赢得了比赛，喜提6连胜，球队战绩来到36胜13负，距离西部第二的雷霆队只差半个胜场。

The youth storm from Portland is sweeping the league!

……

On February 2, US time, the Trail Blazers challenged the Dallas Mavericks away.

It was originally a 9-stable game, but because of the continuous outbreaks of OJ Mayo and Carter Sr., the winning streak ended.

Tonight, 4 Mavericks scored in double figures, and OJ Mayo scored 28 points, 10 assists and 4 rebounds - a rare double figure in assists.

Dirk Nowitzki had 16 points and 8 rebounds, Sean Marion had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Carter was talking about being a teenager.

For the Blazers, Wang Zelin and Aldridge scored 21 and 27 points respectively. Lillard scored 11 points and 6 assists.

The Blazers didn't score a single point in the first 3 minutes of the last quarter, and it was like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads. It was precisely because of this critical 3 minutes that the team lost to the Mavericks 99:105.

"Dirk, you said that you are so old, you can retire well! Why are you still working so hard?"

After the game, Wang Zelin and Nowitzki hugged and joked.

"Stop the rookie, I didn't admit that I'm old!"

Nowitzki is obviously in a good mood after defeating the Trail Blazers, the dark polo team this season.

"You have to admit it when you're old, and I won't be merciful next time."

"Stop talking big, since I can win you once, I can win the second time."

The reporters on the sidelines recorded the process of bickering between the old and the young, or they were sympathetic to each other.

……

In the early morning of the 8th, the Blazers had arrived in Houston, and their opponent tonight was the Mosaic team.

Tonight is a back-to-back game. The team did not arrange a training plan in the morning to facilitate the players to maintain sufficient physical fitness.

Wang Zelin didn't get up until 11 o'clock in the morning.

"Leina, little lazy cat, get up and have breakfast, I'm going to pick up my parents at the airport later!"

When he woke up, Wang Zelin was in the best physical condition. When he was preparing for a wave of morning exercises, he suddenly rang, saying that there was still a big thing to do today.

As time went by, Wang Zelin became more and more famous, and his parents who were working in China were also troubled more and more.

Therefore, Wang Zelin suggested that parents simply quit their original jobs and enjoy their old age in advance.

Anyway, with his current income, whether his parents want to come to the United States to live with him, or they have traveled around the world, their two-person world is fine.

"Ah? Oh!"

"Then should I prepare something?"

"How about this dress? And that one?"

Izalena, who was originally sleepy, woke up instantly.

She has been dating Wang Zelin for a while, and she knows very well that the so-called "meeting the parents" in the Celestial Dynasty represents the man's approval of her, and this matter cannot be sloppy.

"My princess, you look good no matter what you wear!" Wang Zelin had already reached the state of saying something like a compliment.

"Don't be silly, give me some advice."

In the end, Reyna changed into a more youthful look.

A sky blue sleeveless dress, a simple bow on the lower abdomen, a pair of white shoes, and a head of straightened hair... It was a big wave before.

Accompanied by a sound of the gas pedal, the destination is Houston International Airport.

……

"Old Wang, I heard that Zelin found a foreign girlfriend, but I don't know what she looks like."

"Is there anything wrong with my outfit?"

"I told you to dress more stylishly, but I insisted on wearing a Chinese tunic suit."

Faced with the nagging of the Queen Mother, the Wang Father wisely chose to close his eyes and rest.

It is useless to talk too much at this time, it is better to be a listener.

Suddenly, the airport was full of noise.

Father Wang was thoughtful, stood up and looked around, expecting something in his heart.

As one of the top big cities in the United States, Houston always has a group of very hard-working paparazzi who will stay at the airport all day long for the first-hand information.

When the league's popular rookie Wang Zelin led his official girlfriend to Houston International Airport, it caused a sensation instantly.

"My lord, what is the purpose of your trip?"

"Is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"

"..."

The paparazzi squeezed hard to interview Wang Zelin, but fortunately, the accompanying bodyguards were very strong and stopped him.

"Okay gentlemen, today is my parents' first visit to Milan, and I don't have time for interviews, please forgive me."

Seeing more and more crowds, in order to avoid unnecessary crowding, Wang Zelin stopped talking directly.

Wang Zelin's parents went to Rice!
The paparazzi got what they wanted and tactfully got out of the way.
