After finishing the exchange with Zhou Yang and returning to the training hall, Wang Zelin checked the time and found that there were still 5 hours left before the 4 o'clock meeting stipulated by the coaching staff.

Tonight's game is earlier, starting at 18:00, but this does not mean that Wang Zelin can be idle, because there are still a series of press conferences waiting for him.

Wang Zelin and Aldridge were both selected to the All-Star lineup. The former and the latter were substituted, which is undoubtedly a big thing for the Trail Blazers.

It seems that this is the first time in the history of the Trail Blazers that two players have been selected to the All-Star Game at the same time.?

So sometimes it is said that not being able to stay with the Lakers, a powerful team like the Celtics with rich ancestors, is not a bad thing from a certain perspective.

By staying on a weak team, players have more hope of contributing to the team's glory.

Just like LeBron James is to the Cavaliers.

Although James has left the Cavaliers for some time, he is still the well-deserved number one player in the history of the Cavaliers.

No matter how much the Cavaliers bombarded James' decision by the fans, his two regular season MVPs can be described in four words... quite explosive!

…

Due to back-to-back games, the Trail Blazers management had to set the shooting location for Wang Zelin and Aldridge's All-Star makeup photos in Los Angeles.

Strike while the iron is hot!

By taking advantage of the current popularity, we can build momentum for ticket promotion and team advertising in the second half of the season.

Fortunately, Los Angeles is a global entertainment center, and there are countless people who are good at filming.

Moreover, as long as real benefits are involved, the efficiency of capitalists is amazing.

At 12 noon, the shooting of Wang Zelin and Aldridge's All-Star promotional posters had been completed. General Manager Nell Orsi immediately contacted the advertising company to collect the posters.

Of course, in addition to the posters of the two people, the team management also specially prepared a huge poster including all the players on the team.

The two protagonists stand in the middle. Wang Zelin and Aldridge are wearing white jerseys of the home team, with their hands folded on their chests, serious expressions, and facing each other.

In front of the two people squatted Lillard, Batum, and Matthews, five people gathered in the center, and the remaining seven substitutes stood on both sides.

During the pre-match interview, reporters took photos of the huge poster.

After a long time, Wang Zelin and Aldridge came to the press conference under the leadership of team coach Terry Stotts and general manager Orsi.

Everyone quickly gathered around. Wang Zelin did a rough count and found that there were at least hundreds of people.

It is not an exaggeration to say, "Dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city!"

"Wang, congratulations on becoming another rookie to enter the All-Stars after O'Neal and Yao Ming!"

"It is said that after Kobe was robbed of his vote-leading status by you, not only was he not angry, but he was quite appreciative of it. He even attended the game between the Clippers and Trail Blazers tonight and became a special guest in the commentary box tonight. Regarding this

What do you think?"

"..."

I just sit and watch, what else?

Listening to the reporters' tedious and messy questions, Wang Zelin also became drunk.

But as a public figure, he must keep smiling when facing the camera.

Aldridge on the side was secretly glad: It turns out that low popularity also has its advantages.

When the noise gradually subsided and the scene began to quiet down, Wang Zelin finally said: "I am very grateful to every fan who voted for me. It is their support that made me selected as an All-Star. Secondly..."

Two hours have passed.

Wang Zhilin finally got rid of the reporters' difficulties and came to the training ground at Staples Center.

I checked the time again... 4:30!

There is just over an hour left before tonight's game.

…

At 5:50 p.m., amid roars of boos, all Blazers entered the court.

Staples Center is indeed one of the best vanity fairs in the league, rivaled only by Madison Square.

Speaking of stars, the top auditorium was filled with Hollywood stars and celebrities from all walks of life.

For example, Scarlett Johansson has gradually become famous because of Marvel movies.

At this time, the widowed sister was only twenty-eight years old, which was the most beautiful period in a woman's life.

"Wow, it seems that Wang is also fascinated by this beautiful lady Scarlett. Look at his appearance, he is almost drooling!"

By coincidence, Wang Zelin's peeking behavior was shown on the big screen by the director, and Charles Barkley on the sidelines couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Charles, this is your fault. Let alone young people in their early 20s, even most of the men present would have a hard time resisting Scarlett's charm."

Kenny Smith replied seriously, but everyone noticed the sullen soul under this face through the appearance.

It must be said that the American style is all about openness. After Scarlett Johansson discovered Wang Zelin's subconscious behavior, she turned her head and winked at him.

Good guy, the DNA almost moved.

Thinking that there would be a game tonight, Wang Zelin turned his head silently.

In addition to a large number of extremely eye-catching Hollywood female stars competing for their beauty, the biggest star in the audience today is undoubtedly Kobe Bryant, the boss of the Lakers from the same city.

Staples is the real king!

"Wow!"

"What is Kobe doing?"

"His direction is the Blazers bench!"

Although LeBron James has officially replaced Kobe as the new league's number one player, Kobe still tops the scoring list this season with an average of nearly 30 points per game.

No matter how the major media ranks him, Kobe is still a top-three superstar in the league.

At this time, Kobe suddenly stood up and walked towards the Trail Blazers.

Wang Zelin also stood up and walked forward on his own initiative.

"Boy, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you are already the All-Star vote winner. From this point of view, you are no worse than your compatriot Yao."

Kobe came over and patted Wang Zelin on the shoulder, and the two hugged each other naturally.

This is undoubtedly sending a message to those who are interested: The King of Heaven and Kobe are extraordinary!

You know, the Lakers have always had a tradition of recruiting super centers.

Although Wang Zelin is far from a super center now, and may not even be as high as Howard, the current number one center in the movie, he has already shown the seeds of a super center.

Combined with the Lakers' consistent tradition and Kobe's unusual behavior, everything has to make people suspicious.

No, a certain muscular man who was watching this game at home was very dissatisfied.

"When I first came here, I called me Little Beast!"

"Now that we have a new person, we forget the old one and call him Mr. Warcraft instead!"

…

Staples Center.

After chatting for a few words, Black Mamba left after leaving a few words.

"Don't be polite to the Clippers, you'll hit me in the smoke later!"

Kobe Bryant, who has been on the throne for a long time, inevitably feels that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me" when it comes to the Clippers team that is showing a rising trend.

Farewell to Kobe, Wang Zelin turned around.

"Nicholas, did you hear it? Our opponent is cheering for us!"

At this time, Wang Zelin kept waving his right hand in greeting, and those who didn't know thought he was the host.

"Man, you have such a good attitude!"

Batum said.

After chatting with my teammates for a while, the time soon came to 6 o'clock, and both parties arrived near the center circle.

The Clippers at home fielded their regular lineup of Chris Paul, Willie Green, Caron Butler, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.

The same is true for the Trail Blazers, who have a lineup of Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge and Wang Zelin.

After the game started, Wang Zelin won the jump ball again, and Jordan fell into depression...

After playing several rounds, the development trend of the game was almost the same as that of last night.

The only thing that was somewhat surprising was Lillard's outburst.

After hitting a three-pointer at the beginning, Lillard hit three more in the later part of the first quarter, plus 3 of 3 free throws.

15 points in a single quarter!

Originally expected, what everyone wanted to see was who among Wang Zelin, Aldridge, Chris Paul and Griffin, who had just qualified for the All-Star Game, would break out.

As a result, Lillard jumped out to steal the show...

Especially among the four three-pointers in the first quarter, two were unreasonable three-pointers made against Paul.
To be continued...
