NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 278 Guiding young people and returning to the team
Along the way, Wang Zelin and Yao Ming talked a lot, and only the two of them knew the details.

Wang Zelin didn't know how useful his words would be to Yao Ming, but when he finished speaking, he felt much more at ease.

He understands that on his own, Tianchao basketball will never usher in a real rise, just like Dayao, who was thriving in the past, fully interpreting what is meant by "one person is not strong, but collective strength is a pack of wolves!"

If Chinese basketball wants to rise, it must be brought about by all aspects, not by one person.

Surprisingly, Yao Ming personally led Wang Zhilin to the Shark's training base for the first stop in Shanghai.

Walking into the training base, Yao Ming said loudly: "Everyone, stop for a moment. Let me introduce a person to you. He is the NBA's best rookie of the year, the leading center from the Portland Trail Blazers—No. 36 ~ Wang Zelin."

The sudden appearance of Wang Zelin gave the young people of the Shark Club a great surprise. They quickly rushed forward and surrounded Wang Zelin.

This scene is very similar to the star chasers Wang Zelin saw in his previous life meeting his idol.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, you have invited Zelin today, and he will definitely not let him run away easily. Whatever you want to sign and take a group photo is fine, and you can even receive Zelin's guidance one-on-one at close range."

After finishing speaking, Yao Ming turned around and joked with Wang Zelin: "It's really a generation after generation of gods, and you are now the gods in the hearts of the younger generation of fans!"

Wang Zelin smiled and said happily, "Brother Yao, you are too modest. Who doesn't know that you are the benchmark figure of Chinese basketball. I have watched you play since I was a child, and you are still a die-hard fan of yours."

"Hahaha! That's fine, don't just talk about scenes, I remember, you said this to many NBA stars." Yao Ming was also happy, and replied: "I will trouble you today, play with these children, let them see the heights of the sky, and save them from being frizzy all day and talking big."

Wang Zelin fully agreed: "No problem, brother Yao, I will try my best."

"Uh~" Yao Ming hesitated for a moment, and said, "Well, actually, you don't have to try your best, or I would have to worry that you will destroy their confidence... Oh, forget it, just pretend I didn't say what I said earlier, and you can handle it yourself."

As Yao Ming's CBA home team, the Shanghai Shark Club naturally has a deep relationship between the two.

However, getting Yao Ming seems to have overdrawn all the good luck of the Sharks Club. After Yao Ming landed in the NBA, the club's performance was not as good as every year. The 2012-2013 season was even worse. It only won the 14th place in the CBA League and did not even qualify for the playoffs.

It has been almost four years since Yao Ming took over the Shanghai Sharks, and the club has lost tens of millions.

Yao Ming never refused to spend every penny.

But he hopes that every season's investment can have enough returns, and every expenditure is worthwhile, so that he can be worthy of his hard work for the club.

The purpose of inviting Wang Zelin is not to expect a qualitative change in Shark Club players in one day, but to broaden the horizons of young players and let them witness the gap between the world's top leagues and semi-professional leagues like the CBA.

Of the dozen or so players present, as long as one or two understand his hard work and have some awareness, Yao Ming thinks it is worth it.

Putting on the jersey, the warm-up preparations were over, and Wang Zelin gradually entered the state.

Basketball is a competitive sport after all!

The best method of instruction is undoubtedly actual combat.

Under Yao Ming's instruction, Wang Zelin led the Shark Club's red team consisting of 4 substitute players and the blue team consisting of 5 main players to a simple training match.

The time is not long, only 30 minutes, divided into two halves.

After an absence of more than a month, Wang Zelin entered the financial state again. After the training match started, the exclamation of the Shark players and some staff members on the sidelines never stopped.

The red team succeeded in jumping the ball as expected. In the first round, after Wang Zelin got the ball, he ignored the double-teaming of the two and forced his way into the penalty area.

No. 15 of the red team wants to take off and block shots. They are all young people, who has no arrogance in his heart. He admits that Wang Zelin is very strong, but this does not mean that he is weak.

In a daze, he had already seen the scene where he successfully blocked Wang Zelin and became famous for a while.

However, a tragedy is about to happen!
The physical confrontation between the two happened quickly, but it was completely different from what he had imagined. No. 15 was knocked off his back by Wang Zelin's strong body, and he lay on the ground directly.

Immediately afterwards... "Boom!"... He smashed the basket vigorously and succeeded.

Wang Zelin shook his head in disappointment.

The vision of these young people in China will always stay on the line of physical examination of the Blue Association and the Blue Tube. This is simply suicidal!

With such physical confrontation, it is no wonder that in every international arena, the Tianchao men's basketball team is a dish on other people's tables and can only be slaughtered.

It's just a pity that Yi Jianlian...

After pulling up No. 15, who was still in a daze, Wang Zelin said with a serious face: "Since you have chosen to play inside, you should know what power means to inside players. Don't keep thinking about pure skill training. Basketball is a competitive sport. , Fundamentally speaking, it is still a sport that relies on physical fitness, if you have time, practice more bench press!"

After a few simple trials, he completely lost interest in this training game. When he was bored, he simply played Wushuang directly, which is to let these young people who are still childish know what professional basketball is!
……

35 minutes later.

A special training match is over.

68:13...The blue team composed of main players scored, and was almost blocked by the red team in single digits.

As a real NBA All-Star player, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow in the CBA, let alone the underdog team in the CBA.

There was Wang Zelin's watertight defense on the inside. Throughout the whole game, the success rate of the blue team players hitting the basket was very small. Wang Zelin's hands were like a spider web, completely sealing the basket.

When Wang Zelin put out his hats again and again, the blue team's offensive mood was completely broken, and the guide took gambling-style outside shots.

How can a player make a shot when he doesn't even have confidence?
Therefore, the main players of the Shark Club ushered in the most painful game since their respective careers.

Although it was only a training match, Wang Zelin's performance on the court was enough to make them unforgettable all their lives
The players and staff at the training base have already shown expressions of astonishment one by one.

Because today's duel was too unexpected.

Although everyone knew before that Wang Zelin played very hard in the NBA, the kind of sudden mess.

After all, he is the NBA's Rookie of the Year, the best second team in the 2012~2013 season, the All-Star vote champion, and the starting center of the Western Conference Finals...

A series of achievements means that Wang Zelin, who has just debuted for only one year, has achieved the height that Yao Ming could achieve in the NBA back then, and even surpassed it.

At least, Yao Ming never set foot on the floor of the Western Conference Finals in his NBA career!
But everything in front of him is too outrageous.

No one thought the blue team could win, and likewise, no one thought the blue team would lose so badly, it was like a college team playing a primary school team, the latter was completely abused to pieces.

Liu Wei, the number one core member of the Sharks and Yao Ming's old teammate, was standing on the court stupidly at this time, unable to recover for a long time.

This kind of dominance is almost comparable to Dayao's back then, right?
Liu Wei looked at Wang Zelin, who seemed to have just finished warming up, not blushing and not panting, and felt that this guy was a monster.

"It's almost time to rest, do you still want to play?"

Wang Zelin asked.

This time, no one dared to speak anymore.

In just 30 minutes, they already had the most intuitive judgment in their hearts...

Is this the strength of star players in the NBA?

The difference is too big!
Can anyone in the country compete with him one or two?

This idea came to the minds of the Sharks players unanimously.

Perhaps, Ah Lian can do it!
……

Another night passed.

On the morning of July 7, accompanied by Yao Ming, Wang Zelin came to the Wukesong Gymnasium in Kyoto to report, which is the temporary training base for the men's basketball team.

Seeing Lao Dengtou again, the two greeted each other warmly, and then began to deal with business.

The first thing a general athlete does after reporting is a physical examination.

Naturally, it is not a detailed physical examination, but basic information, such as strength, speed, etc...

Wang Zelin does not need a physical examination. He is the best rookie in the NBA, the All-Star starter, and the leading center of the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals. A lot of titles are enough to prove that he is the strongest in the national team.

A powerful person can always have many privileges.

Therefore, many tedious processes can be avoided.

After the health check, which old Deng was most concerned about, the whole process is over, and the next thing is the most important thing.

Press conference ~ announced Wang Zelin's return to the national team.

……

Wang Zelin is officially back!
On July 7th, the East Asian Cup football match had just ended, and domestic sports attention was focused on the Men's Basketball Asian Championship, which was about to start in a week or so.

The selection of national men's basketball players is naturally the focus of attention from the outside world.

Among them, Wang Zelin, the only domestic NBA star who has not returned to the team, has attracted the most attention.

When he came to the special interview hall of Wukesong Gymnasium, Wang Zelin felt very tired when he saw a large area of ​​reporters smeared with black paint.

In this era of rampant public knowledge, the national self-confidence is far less strong than it was later, and the domestic media has always been pissed: foreign countries are submissive, and domestic typical scumbags.

Especially the public intellectuals who have the right to speak, they are obviously disgusting people in their lives and actions, but most of the net names still regard their quotations as wise words.

Really drunk!

Fortunately, at today's press conference, the questions asked by the reporter were relatively unreasonable.

The press conference was on and on, and came to the classic "flag" link. He remembered it very clearly. There was a lot of poisonous milk in this link...

A reporter asked: "Your Majesty, the Iranian team has come a long way in recent years. Do you think the national team can achieve the title defense of the Asian Championships?"

Feelings you just ask this?

It is true that in Asia, Iran has always been one of the few powerful countries. In 07 and 09, it achieved two consecutive championships in the Asian Championships.

Not surprisingly, Iran was the champion of the Asian Championships in 13.

But is this national team the original national team?

Is he Wang Zelin the original Wang Zhelin?
Obviously not.

He dare not guarantee the World Championships and the Olympic Games, after all, there are too many strong teams in Europe and America, but if it is only an event in the Asian region...

"Of course I have confidence! And it's not just this one. During my playing career, I thank everyone for guaranteeing that the champion of the Asian Championships will always belong to China!"

The "flag" link is here, so how can we miss the classic "pretend to face" link.

As for successfully pretending...

Still being slapped in the face...

Everything depends on the next performance.

In any case, after the press conference, Wang Zelin's interview speech is destined to ignite the entire Asian basketball circle.

After the press conference was over, Wang Zelin, Yao Ming, Lao Dengtou, and some accompanying staff boarded the plane to Malani, the capital of the Philippines.

……

The whole journey takes less than five hours.

When they came to Malani, Wang Zelin and some people also caught up with the dinner.

After dinner, Yao Ming, the team leader, introduced to Wang Zelin the 11-man roster and some important staff for the national team.

Many of the 11-member roster are old acquaintances, and of course there are also a few new faces.

No. 4 Guo Ailun
No. 5 Liu Xiaoyu
No. 6 Chen Jianghua
No. 7 Wang Shipeng
No. 8 Zhu Fangyu
No. 9 Sun Yue

No. 10 Li Xiaoxu
No. 11 Yi Jianlian
No. 12 Zhang Bo

No. 14 Wang Zhizhi
Zhou Peng on the 15th

And No. 20 Wang Zelin who just returned to the team.

The national team's 12-man roster is finally complete.

In last year's London Olympics, the Tianchao men's basketball team reached the top eight again. The combination of Wang Qi and Zhu Ba announced that they would no longer compete in any World Championships and Olympics.

In principle, they were not planning to compete in the Asian Championships...

Helplessly, there is no successor for the domestic front line!

Although judging from the original historical trajectory, the addition of the two did not allow the men's basketball team to go far in this Asian Championship...

Fortunately, I didn't say that I would no longer participate in the Asian Championships, otherwise it would have been a bit of a slap in the face.

In the evening, whether it was arranged deliberately or not, Wang Zelin was assigned to a two-person dormitory, and his roommate happened to be Yi Jianlian.

"Zerin, long time no see!"

Yi Jianlian seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and got up on his own initiative, wanting to help Wang Zelin carry his luggage.

"Hey, brother Ah Lian, I don't have much luggage, just a few clothes and documents, just sit down."

Wang Zelin hastily declined.

"That's fine, your bed has already been made by the staff. If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask the staff to change it... By the way, if you want to eat late at night, go to 2 on the 203nd floor. It will be served all night..."

After packing his bags and moving in, Yi Jianlian introduced the matters of the base to Xiang Wang Zelin.

"By the way, can I go out at night? In the Philippines, is there anything fun at night?"

After listening, Yi Jianlian smiled lightly: "Of course, but the coach said that the Philippines is no better than China. If you want to go out to play, it is better to go out during the day. In principle, it is not recommended to go out at night. Of course, if you want to go out at night, you can invite a professional tour guide."

After chatting for a while, Yi Jianlian suddenly remembered that this young man who had made great achievements in the NBA and might need to look up to him for the rest of his life was just a 19-year-old boy.

After a little emotion, Yi Jianlian relaxed a lot.
