NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 405 Another three-game winning streak!
The moment the electronic buzzer sounded, all the Raptors players involuntarily lowered their heads.

"Oh, I lost again."

As usual, after the game, Wang Zelin approached DeRozan and had a simple and friendly exchange.

He still has a good impression of this "melancholy little prince" in the future.After all, DeRozan has something to commend him in terms of character and game quality.

Although he fell at the feet of the Cavaliers led by James year after year in the future, he and Lowry jokingly called their combination "trash brothers!"

可不管怎么说，未来的3~5年，多伦多猛龙队确实是在德罗赞和洛瑞的带领下达到了建队以来的最高光时期。不仅在15~16赛季队史首次闯入东决，还在17~18赛季队史首次成为东部的常规赛冠军！

In other words, the Raptors will be a strong team in the East in the next few years, and according to historical experience, in the three years from 15 to 18, the Raptors will meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs every year.

Therefore, Wang Zelin sincerely hopes that DeRozan's strength will become stronger than in the original history, so that James can consume more in the playoffs.

But he never expected that DeRozan's first sentence was full of frustration as soon as he came up.

Could it be that the "Melancholy Little Prince" was defeated?
How can this work?

So Wang Zelin quickly patted DeRozan on the shoulder and encouraged: "DeMar, don't look down on yourself too much. I believe that you and Lowry will become the best leaders since the establishment of the Toronto Raptors team. You two will lead this team to a new peak!"

"..."

DeRozan didn't know what to answer for a moment.

I don't know when it started, every time I met the Trail Blazers and failed, Wang Zelin would give himself or Lowry a few words of cheer.

Lowry is fine. He has partnered with Yao Ming before. It is normal for Wang Zelin to have a good impression of Lowry.But the same is true for myself, which makes DeRozan very puzzled.

However, Wang Zelin's many statements still moved DeRozan's heart. Not any opponent can maintain Wang Zelin's attitude after winning the game.

"By the way, I'm going to set up a training camp this summer, are you interested in joining us?"

Seeing that DeRozan's expression was not so sad, Wang Zelin threw out another news.

"Training camp?"

DeRozan is thoughtful, and he usually likes to surf the Internet very much. In addition, Wang Zelin is one of the MVP favorites this season. The media will report on his every move.Wang Zelin's summer training camp was also very hot for a while, triggering active discussions among many active players and fans.

"That's right, Damien, Paul George, and Victor Oladipo should all be here by then..."

The players Wang Zelin mentioned are basically the younger generation of elite players who have attracted much attention from the outside world. DeRozan admitted that he was a little moved.

"Can I call Kyle with me then?"

DeRozan made one last request of his own.

"Haha..." Wang Zelin smiled and thumped DeRozan's chest lightly, "Of course no problem! You are welcome to join!"

……

After playing the Raptors, due to the tight schedule, Wang Zelin didn't pay much attention to other teams' affairs, and followed the team to Washington, the capital of Lao Mi, early the next morning.

At this time, he discovered another benefit of being single: no need to spend an hour or two on the phone!
The phone calls are more than enough, let’s put it aside, if Lei Na didn’t follow the team to the away game, and Wang Zelin’s two games were separated by more than two days, he would have to take at least one day to go home and spend time with Lei Na.

Well now, after arriving at the away game, there is plenty of rest time. You can relax and watch TV or use your mobile phone, and you can also enjoy the charming night scenery of the away city with the old drivers.

No, on the night of the 7th, the young players headed by Wang Zelin, Batum, and Matthews did not stay in the hotel, but had a romantic night outside.

It wasn't until 13:[-] the next day that everyone appeared on the training arena and ran tactics with other teammates.

The arrangement process for this day is to rest for the game at 13:17, start the game at 30:15 in the afternoon, and start warming up at [-]:[-].

……

Washington Wizards!

Since the 21st century, the most glamorous period may be the period when the general Arenas rose strongly in the 2004-05 season to help the Wizards return to the playoffs.

It is a pity that after 08, the situation of the Wizards took a turn for the worse, and they never made it to the playoffs, especially the gun incident in the past few years, which made the Wizards fall into the cusp.

You know, this is the capital of a country, the absolute political center, but such an ugly thing was discovered in the end.This has also become an unforgettable pain in the hearts of countless Wizards fans!
They originally thought that after the Wizards management selected the talented guard John Wall with the No. 10 pick in the 2 draft, the Wizards would usher in a second opportunity for the new design.

After all, there was a draft report that year that said: Wall is the taller version of Allen Iverson!

However, after three full seasons, Wall not only failed to keep up with Allen Iverson's first-year rookie data in all aspects, but also never proved himself in terms of leading the team.

The enlarged version of Iverson has gradually become a laughing stock!
Until the arrival of this season, Wall averaged 19+8+4 per game, leading the Wizards to the top eight in the Eastern Conference. From the start of the game, he looked like he was going to lead the Wizards back to the playoffs, and the outside world's doubts about Wall gradually became smaller.

The Portland Trail Blazers, the team that will be facing tonight, is currently ranked No. [-] in the league. Not only the media, but even Wall knows that for the Wizards, the Trail Blazers are definitely a big challenge!
However, Wall is notoriously the type who speaks without thinking. Before the game, the Wizards management and coaching staff repeatedly emphasized that the pre-game interview must be cautious. If you want to pretend to be 13, you have to wait until you win tonight's game.

But Wall thought: "I am the number one scholar of my generation, how can I be a generation who is afraid of the head and the tail?"

During pre-match interviews, the media only needed to stretch out their index finger and flick it lightly, and Wall was hooked!
"I will use a victory tonight to prove the complete change of the Wizards this year!"

As soon as this remark came out, the media reporters had already talked about various post-match headlines about Wall's loss tonight.

……

Originally, the gap in strength was huge. Even if Wall's harsh words before the game made the players united, facing the menacing Portland Legion, the Wizards were still not enough to watch.

After hearing Wall's rhetoric, Coach Terry also specially formulated measures to prevent breakthroughs...

As a result, Wall was miserable tonight, with 7 points and 5 assists, a record low in the season, and his efficiency was even worse.

In the end, the Wizards lost 85:109 at home, and the Blazers also won a wave of three consecutive victories!

　It seems that I have been fooled again. I forgot to add the word "old man" in the title of the last chapter, "Thirty", which is embarrassing...
