Chapter 799 Change direction, veteran wither 0
Of course, the future life and death of the team in a small market has nothing to do with Wang Zelin, he is too lazy to care so much.
Speaking of it, as a latecomer, he has seen countless cases of entanglement between team loyalty and honor pursuit in the NBA, so he actually does not have much yearning for the "one person, one city" led by Kobe, Duncan, and Nowitzki.
The reason why I chose to reach a contract extension with the Trail Blazers this summer.On the one hand, it is because the team structure is very suitable for him and is conducive to the championship; on the other hand, it is because the team management respects him very much and can readily accept his opinions on the draft and trade.
As the saying goes, everyone hates James, and everyone wants to be James.
Just ask, which NBA player doesn't want to have the influence that James can directly affect management decisions?
If the team can always maintain this state, then Wang Zelin doesn't mind playing for this team throughout his career, and finally becomes a member of the "one person, one city" family, which is a good story.
Conversely, if one day he is unhappy staying here, he will decisively leave and seek a more suitable next home.
To put it bluntly, as a successor of socialism, he is now essentially working for capitalism. In such a big environment, loyalty and so on are all nonsense.
As far as he is concerned, it is his duty to try his best to seek the maximum benefit in the hands of capitalists.
So, don’t expect him to learn from Dayao back then. He had the opportunity to get rid of the stingy boss in Aerospace City who was always reluctant to pay the luxury tax, and go to the wealthy Los Angeles Lakers to join Kobe, and then there is a great possibility to start another more magnificent career.
In the end, because of the so-called loyalty, he didn't have a championship, which left a big regret in his NBA career.
Don't just talk about loyalty in the NBA, this is Chi Guoguo's lesson!
Wang Zelin sighed, and then remembered that he still had work to do.
He opened his fingers and counted. Counting the five players in last year's All-Stars, and now adding Davis, George, and Drummond, there are eight people.
Considering that once the number of members of the dance troupe increases, the difficulty of choreographing the dance will be more severe.
Forget it, if it really doesn’t work, just give up the originality!
After thinking about it, Wang Zelin still felt that he had to be more realistic. Just listen to what James said about his musical talent, and his family knew about his own affairs.
My own system is just a pure basketball system. Apart from simply drawing cards to become stronger, unlike other systems, there is also a supporting mall exchange.
So, as an adult, you still have to be realistic after all. If originality is not good, then copy it. Anyway, this is not the first time.
Besides, as a member of the army of modern urban traversers, Wen Chaogong can be said to be a basic practice, once or twice, there may be a little bit of guilt, once the number of times is exceeded, it will be like that.
Mr. Lu Xun, a great writer in our country, once said: "As long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties."
After changing direction, Wang Zelin's inspirations suddenly emerged endlessly.
Next, he fell into a blissful trouble.
This time, who should we copy?
……
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Trail Blazers continued their regular season journey.
The penultimate game before the All-Star Game - back-to-back away to the Houston Mosaics!
The Mosaic team has also had a tight schedule in the past period. The day before yesterday, they just ended their three-game streak in the Eastern Conference. After struggling to win the victory from the Celtics, they returned to Space City for a short rest day and won the challenge of the strongest team in the league this year.
Although the opponents are back-to-back away games, this does not mean that their competitive state will fluctuate.
On the contrary, the overall strength and morale of the Trail Blazers have also increased because of Beverley's return.
In the starting stage, the Trail Blazers had an advantage. After the first half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led by 13 points 5:8.
After the official timeout, Beverly replaced Lillard, Barton replaced Connett Lee, Batum replaced Harrell, Yi Jianlian replaced Aldridge, leaving Wang Zelin as the starter.
As we all know, according to the past practice, whenever the mosaic team is played, the Blazers No. 36 will definitely break out.
This game did not slip away either. Wang Zelin scored 14 of the first 7 points alone, accounting for half of the team's points.
Seeing this, Coach Terry also changed the use time of Wang Zelin without hesitation. During the timeout, he put down his bold words in front of the bench in front of the eyes of countless people:
As long as you want, you can play the whole game tonight!
Encouraged by the coach, in the expectation of his teammates, and in the panic of the opponent's players, Wang Zelin led the team to start a crazy massacre.
The Mosaic team sent a lineup of Terry, Harden, Ariza, Brewer, and Howard. Except for one veteran Terry, the rest are all starters.
This can almost be said to be the strongest output lineup of the Mosaic team.
Terry feels miserable!
Originally thought that after switching from the Celtics and the Nets one after another, he came to Aerospace City and experienced 77 attendances as a model worker last season. This season, the team introduced Ty Lawson as the third giant. He should be able to start his retirement career with peace of mind.
But I never thought that after joining the Mosaic team, Lawson didn't play a game, and he got drunk driving off the court.
There is a saying that misfortunes never come singly.
It's okay for Lawson to have a problem. The key is that Harden also had a lot of problems.
Although Kardashian's pressing defense was finally broken after the Christmas game and gradually returned to the demeanor of the active No. [-] shooting guard, but they couldn't stand the big pit in the early stage. Even after recovering, the Mosaic team has been hovering on the edge of the top eight in the Western Conference. If they are not careful, they may not even make it to the playoffs.
Under the influence of various unexpected factors, Terry, a 38-year-old veteran, had to increase his playing time. Now his average playing time has surpassed the real starting Lawson, reaching 27.5 minutes.
At the same time, his scoring average also returned to double digits in 10 seasons, ranking fifth in the team with an average of 12.2 points per game!
The last time Terry played more than 17 minutes per game, it had to be traced back to the season after the Mavericks just won the championship, that is, the 2011-12 season.
But at that time, Terry was only a little over 30, at the tail end of his peak, and now he is 38.
Under long-term high pressure, the old jet finally couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly fell down in an unconfronted layup in the last minute of the first quarter.
Then, he never stood up again.
Don't look at Terry's old age, but this old Jet's enthusiasm for the game is indeed as good as the young people in the team.
This season, Terry's classic celebration of raising his arms and gliding after every brilliant goal on the field has deeply attracted every Space City fan, and it has also become a wonderful landscape for the team this year.
As a result, Terry also logically became the boss of the Mosaic team's locker room this season.
But now, this spiritual leader who made everyone in the Mosaic team respect him has just fallen.
Everyone understands that at Terry's age, he suddenly collapsed without confrontation, which is the most frightening thing to think about.
It is probably difficult for him to recover as quickly as when he was young.
After understanding this point, people can't help but feel that another veteran is hard to beat the invasion of time, and will eventually wither.
