Judging from the latest changes in personal data, Wang Zelin's physical fitness and mid-range shooting ability have improved a little after a long period of training.

Especially the improvement of physical fitness made him cry. In the first game of the season, his physical fitness was 1. After a season, he only improved by 73 points by training hard on his own.

How can this work?

Hang up!I want to hang up!
I glanced at the fan value ~ 9736 million, reality does not allow it.

"Now we can only wait for the playoffs to start!" After the first round, no matter what he said, he wanted to make his fan base exceed [-] million. With such a small goal, he was able to stop himself for so long, which made the face of the army of traversers so embarrassing!

Isn't it just a little Nuggets team?
Do him!
……

In the afternoon, the head coach made no arrangements and asked the players to adjust their status by themselves. During the time waiting for the playoffs, Wang Zelin received several calls or text messages.

There are genuine girlfriends Reina, and foreign comrades-in-arms Ajiali and Scarlett, which made him feel once again that the master's skills in time management in the future will be beyond the reach of his younger generations.

In his mind, apart from Luo Daishi, there should be no one else who can have such a profound skill!
However, he underestimated the bravery of the latecomers.

Of course, this is something for later, let's not talk about it for now.

After chatting with Scarlett for a while, Wang Zelin learned that the former was promoting the Marvel movie "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier", and it seemed that she was playing the heroine or a girl in it.

Wang Zelin still knows about this drama. Although he only brushed some clips on a certain sound, Scarlett still plays the role of "Black Widow" in this drama.

All in all, it's an excellent popcorn movie, with fights, special effects, and a body show. If you only watch it once, it should be worthwhile for movie fans.

"Sorry, Wang, I can't come over to cheer you on, you shouldn't blame me!" Scarlett said mischievously on the phone.

It's fine if you don't come, Ajiali will come soon, if you come again, then I will become a Shura field.

"Is that so!" Wang Zelin pondered for a while, then continued, "Then how are you going to compensate me?"

"Hee hee!" After hearing Wang Zelin's words, Scarlett snorted softly, "I bought a very sexy swimsuit, and I'll treat you to a bath water! It's free!"

"The bath water is free, do you still have the character costumes for this movie?" Wang Zelin asked quietly after looking around when no one was around.

"You mean the black tights?"

"exactly!"

There is a play.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Wang Zelin chuckled: "At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, I have a business event in Los Angeles. Bring your uniform. See you at our hotel."

"...Bah, shameless!" Rao Scarlett, who was known as an old driver, also began to turn red.

Wang Zelin said sincerely: "I don't blame you for being too charming. I just want to have a further in-depth communication. You shouldn't refuse my small request as a loyal movie fan, right?"

Scarlett: "..."

Never seen such a brazen person.

Still want to go further.

Also in-depth communication.

Isn't it just the body of a greedy old lady?

You are asshole!
"Okay, I'm going to enter the arena, we'll talk after you finish the game." Scarlett said.

"Okay! Be safe and don't let other fans take advantage of you."

Scarlett: "...act like you're not a movie fan."

"Scarlett, although your other fans can also get it, there is still an essential difference between me and them," Wang Zelin coughed lightly, and said seriously: A great man in our country said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. I have always regarded this sentence as my motto in life, and I have followed it all my life. "

Scarlett was speechless for a while after listening.

I thought I caught a little brother, but it turned out to be a giant python, which could completely defeat me as soon as I opened my mouth.

beep~

The phone hangs up.

Putting down his phone, Wang Zelin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Oh, everyone says how open Lao Mi is here, but I don't think so. Sure enough, practice is the last word!"

After a while, the door of the locker room was opened, and Wang Zelin saw Lillard who came back from the outside. The latter said in surprise, "Wang, why don't you come out?"

"Oh, right now!"

Wang Zelin immediately stood up
It's all because Scarlett, the goblin, is so charming that he forgot about it for a while, and had to conduct a pre-match interview.

……

"The Trail Blazers 3:1 Nuggets in the regular season, have you found the magic weapon to win?"

"I don't think there is anything scary about the Trail Blazers. As we all know, the playoffs are different from the regular season. This is a stage for adults, and it belongs to the real strong. The Trail Blazers are just a bunch of little babies. It's easy to win them!"

This is the current point guard of the Nuggets. What Ty Lawson said to the ESPN reporter in the pre-match interview immediately caused a huge sensation in Portland.

"It's just a lunatic who is addicted to alcohol. Does anyone really think that the Nuggets can be compared with the Trail Blazers?" Some Trail Blazers fans were not happy, and sarcastically left a message on the basketball forum.

"You're right, buddy! In my opinion, this match is about weak mortals challenging Goliath giants, and sending four words to the opposite side ~ bring shame on yourself!"

Because of Ty Lawson's big mouth, the Trail Blazers fans mocked all the Nuggets.

"Stupid and conceited Portlanders! Return the Goliath giant, are you worthy?"

Not long after, some Nuggets fans couldn't stand it anymore and came out to leave a message to refute.

"Isn't it just two more victories than us? As for bragging? The Nuggets broke into the Western Conference Finals during the Carmelo Anthony era. At that time, a certain team couldn't even make it through the first round!"

"Brother, you missed one thing. The team that beat them happens to be the team led by the Chinese, hahaha!"

There is a saying that a big tree attracts the wind.

The first game of the playoffs is often the most watched game in the first round. Not only the players who are nervously preparing for the game, but also the fans will cheer for the arrival of the playoffs.

It's just that fans of different teams cheer in different ways.

The popularity of the Trail Blazers has risen sharply this season, and now it is time for them to fail to prove themselves in the playoffs, which will inevitably attract the jealousy of some diehard fans of the team... especially the teams that they have defeated many times before.

Fortunately, this is the home court of the Trail Blazers. When the Trail Blazers, with Wang Zelin, Aldridge, and Lillard as the core, started the playoffs with the third record of 57 wins and 25 losses after the regular season, the home fans almost lifted the roof of the stadium.

The war in the online world is hard to affect the high enthusiasm of the fans in reality. They are extremely looking forward to the Trail Blazers going further this year.

Trailblazers here.

Facing Ty Lawson's pre-match provocation, the big guys couldn't sit still. Batum took the lead and said in a sly way: "It seems that Ty Lawson is drunk again, thinking he is still at the nightclub scene, I really don't know what to say!"

Matthews also said in an interview: "I don't know why he would say such a thing, how dare he?"

Even Aldridge, who was silent for a while, said directly at the team press conference: "The Nuggets will not take any victory in Portland!"

At this time, many media also came to Wang Zelin and took the opportunity to ask questions. The latter's answer was classic: "You may not believe me, I am already thinking about my opponent in the next round!"

"WOW, WOW, WOW!"

"Fuck!"

"My lord, this wave~ This wave is preparing shrimp and pig hearts!"

I'm already thinking about my opponent for the next round! ——A famous quote from Tracy McGrady during the Magic period.

After the Magic led by McGrady led the Pistons 3:1, his complete quotation is actually: "If it was the previous 5 rounds and 3 wins, I am already thinking about my opponent in the next round!"

But, who cares?
Everyone only knows that because of the influence of the "Rivers buff", the Magic suffered a reversal with a 3:1 lead, and then under the deliberate exaggeration of the media, McGrady successfully joined the ranks of many superstars who pretended to be aggressive but were slapped in the face.

Although McGrady's original words are not like this, but it's still the same sentence...

Who cares!

The game has not yet started, and the "verbal battle" between the two teams has already taken the lead.

And this is the intensity of the playoffs. Starting from Ty Lawson's provocation, there is a strong smell of gunpowder everywhere.

In the end, Wang Zelin's trick of borrowing flowers to present Buddha directly ignited the enthusiasm and gimmicks of the game.

……

TNT Live Room.

Those in charge of explaining the game were the former Kings boss Chris Webber and the Pacers former boss Reggie Miller who had just changed careers... and Tracy Mack, a special guest who was invited by TNT executives an hour before the game. Grady!
"Tracey, this should be your first time as a commentator in the playoffs. Tell the fans, what do you think?"

Weber grinned, showing his trademark handsome smile.

McGrady opened his sleepy eyes and shrugged his shoulders: "It's very novel and interesting. After I retire, I may also consider working as a commentator. Then you have to take me with you!"

Of course he knows the purpose of this trip, isn't it just to increase the gimmick... Anyway, some people are eager to send money, why not?
Isn't it just being whipped repeatedly by the outside world...

Make money, it's not shabby!
Reggie Miller pretended to take out the manuscript and shook it, and said a little excitedly: "Tracey, Wang Zelin quoted your lines before the game. Regarding this, as a senior, don't you want to tell young people something?"

"Ahem!" McGrady, who was sitting in the middle, coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment. Chris Webber and Reggie Miller on both sides didn't care so much and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

McGrady stared at the two speechlessly for a long time before they stopped laughing magically.

However, the fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game at this time, since the moment they saw McGrady appear, their cheerful smiles have not stopped.

"I didn't say big things back then. Of course, the premise is that the NBA followed the 01-game 02-win system before the 5-3 season..."

Regarding this old stalker, McGrady knew that he would not be able to make it through his life, so he simply let go of the chat for the first time under the camera.

With bursts of laughter one after another, the first playoff game of Wang Zelin's career is about to be staged.

No matter how the two teams talked before the game, when the game is about to start, there will be some tension that cannot be avoided.

The Blazers have played so many regular season games. Except for the elder Aldridge, Wang Zelin and Lillard have not felt such a fanatical atmosphere in the playoffs in any game.

In addition to the fan factor, the intensity of the playoffs itself is far beyond that of the regular season. From physical confrontation to technical competition, from the rhythm of the game to the referee's whistle-blowing scale, everything is more than one level higher than the regular season.

For rookie players who are used to 82 regular season games, not every rookie who is lucky enough to make the playoffs can immediately adapt to the intensity of the playoffs, and must go through a process.

The process varies from person to person, it may be a few minutes or a quarter, or it may be a series or even several seasons.

Since the 03-04 season when the Nuggets selected Carmelo Anthony, they have been regulars in the playoffs every season, and even broke into the Western Conference Finals in the 08-09 season.

Carmelo Anthony's departure from the Knicks did not affect such a strong western team, and under the leadership of the 62-year-old coach George Karl, he won the opponent's best 55 wins in one fell swoop this season, breaking the 08-09 season. Billups duo created 54 wins.

The Nuggets, who have played in the playoffs all year round, have long cultivated a strong team culture and strong team confidence. Not long after the game started, all players quickly adapted to the high-intensity game.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers, half of the players have only played in the regular season team, they obviously haven't adapted to the sudden increase in the intensity of the playoffs.

Among them, the two main players, Wang Zelin and Lillard, were unavoidable. After the first half of the game, the former only scored 5 points and 4 rebounds, while the latter was slightly better, scoring 6 points, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Facing Ty Lawson tonight, Lillard's defensive work is exceptionally good, but this does not prevent the team from falling behind.

At 41:56, the Blazers trailed by 15 points at home.

The Portland fans who were enthusiastic before the game, as the point difference got bigger and bigger, the passion gradually faded, and finally fell flat.

"Tracey, your words are absolutely poisonous. It's already 15 points!" Chris Webber laughed like crazy. He didn't expect the show to be so effective. After get off work, he should be able to apply for an extra red envelope.

"Viewers, please put your fear on the public screen!"

Reggie Miller would like to see how McGrady will react. Who made the previous talk session, McGrady said that he is more optimistic about the Blazers.

McGrady rolled his eyes: "... Well, the game is not over yet. According to the talents of Wang and Damien, two quarters have passed. I believe they have entered the state. The second half is the time for the Blazers to counterattack!

You must know that when I led the Magic into the playoffs for the first time, it only took a few minutes to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs...

I can do it, so can they! "

Words have been sent out, and it is impossible to take them back.

McGrady can only continue to speak hard now, praying in his heart that Wang Zelin and Lillard can do what he wants.

Trail Blazers locker room.

As far as the eye could see, there was complete silence.

Coach Terry Stotts looked at his disciples who looked like roosters, and was about to fill up a bowl of chicken soup for the soul...

"Boom!"

The silence in the locker room was instantly broken by a loud noise~Wang Zelin.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Wang Zelin's right hand into a fist, and slammed it on the cabinet, his face was full of unwillingness.

"It's all my fault guys, I underestimated the intensity of the playoffs."

Wang Zelin gritted his teeth, hating his pre-match mentality of underestimating the enemy.

Sure enough, the playoffs are different from the regular season!

"Stop talking nonsense, you're not the only one who is going to lose, count me in!" Lillard stood up after listening.

"Okay! What stupid things are you talking about! It's only halfway through, are you ready to surrender?"

The head coach's loud reprimand left everyone speechless.

"Believe in yourself, your ability is completely fine, how you play in the regular season, you can play in the second half, as long as you regain your confidence in the regular season and the feeling of the regular season, the Nuggets can't be our opponent! Do you understand?"

Immediately afterwards, Tristos came over and put his hands on Wang Zelin's shoulders: "Wang, remember what you said, OK?"

"OK!"

Wang Zelin nodded heavily, and slowly let go of the unwillingness and anger in his heart under the watchful eyes of the coach, and his trembling body began to calm down.

I do what I say!
It's just gold digging, I want to step on your corpses to enter the second round!

　In Chapter 229, the attribute of CIC was wrongly written, it should be 83 instead of 80, so I will correct it here.

　　Recently, I have been busy with Learning Communication. How about the three courses, the ghost knows how the school arranges them, especially the Four History. I can only score 100 points a day, which is very uncomfortable.

　　I also need to prepare for teacher qualification certificates and computer exams. Recently, there is less time for coding. I would like to say sorry to all the children's shoes. It is indeed short recently.

　　Let's wait a few more days, when the time comes, I will desperately come back.
