"Hahahaha! Unexpectedly, Charles and I won again!"

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Kenny Smith looked at Charles Barkley with joy on his face.

"Huh, what do you want to eat tonight? You decide the place, I'll take it!"

Barkley glanced resentfully at the Trail Blazers players who were gradually dispersing, and his heart was bleeding.

In tonight's game, Carmelo Anthony played 38 minutes. He made 14 of 29 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 7 of 11 free throws. He scored 37 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 assists. It was an absolute success.

Unfortunately, he lost to the Trail Blazers in the end and was successfully selected as the latest group leader of the air-cutting group.

However, Barkley is more concerned about Anthony's other statistics, such as "only" three blocked shots...

Yes, it's just one block away. As long as Anthony is blocked once, he can win the bet and let Kenny Smith make a good effort.

Now, everything is ruined.

In this game, Wang Zelin still maintained a stable performance of more than 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block per game. He played 30 minutes and scored a near-triple-double of 24 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, as well as 2 blocks and 1 steal.

While filling up all the personal data columns, he also picked up the Player of the Match award.

His playing time was concentrated in the first half, and he basically played all of it. In the second half, he only played more than 2 minutes in the third quarter, and only 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. This is why Barkley shouted regretfully: Wang Zelin

If you play longer in the second half, you may win the bet.

…

On the bus back to the hotel, everyone was still thinking about the game just now, but some people were also thinking about the upcoming nightlife.

After all, this is New York!

"Brother A Lian, do you want to experience it tonight? What is exotic style? Swinging comes first!"

Wang Zelin poked Yi Jianlian's waist with his finger and winked.

"What exotic style, swing..." Yi Jianlian was slightly startled at first, then quickly realized what the other party was talking about, and waved his hand awkwardly: "Forget it, I'm not interested in that thing."

This is quite true.

Except for Wang Zelin, the Chinese players who have landed in the NBA in the past, from Wang Zhizhi and Battier to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, all have a clean, humble and low-key image of a good gentleman off the court, which is consistent with the messy off-court life of most black players.

Yes, they are definitely high-quality idols.

Even Sun Dasheng, the gossip news in the United States is far inferior to that in China.

Until the appearance of Wang Zelin, the American media and fans saw the other side of the "bohemian" Chinese players.

However, Wang Zelin only has more gossip news and more fans. He only makes fun of him occasionally, even the Chinese fans.

And this is the difference between sports stars and entertainment stars. The first thing they ensure is their performance on the sports field. As long as they play well on the field, it will be difficult for them to collapse off the field unless they are involved in principled issues such as D grade.

"Oh, you should do as the Romans do when you are in the country." Wang Zelin said with a smile.

Yi Jianlian said helplessly: "Forget it, go and have fun yourself."

"Then... let's go have a drink together." Seeing that Yi Jianlian was a little moved, Wang Zelin continued: "In a serious place, it's just a simple drink to celebrate. Everyone is going to be there, so you have to come."

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you anything."

"Hahaha, that's right."

Then, Wang Zelin stood up from his seat and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, I suggest you not go back to the hotel and go find a place to have fun. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wolf howl sounded in the chartered car.

Matthews: “I couldn’t agree more!”

Batum: "Don't worry, I'm also familiar with New York. There are many good places."

"Nicholas, have you been waiting for Wang's words?" Mo Williams said with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

…

…

…

At noon the next day, the Trail Blazers flew back to Portland. After playing the game against the Knicks on the 8th, the next game was scheduled for the 10th. The opponent was the Jazz. They had a day and a half to rest.

"Wang, the two Brazilian girls I found with you yesterday are on point, right?"

On the plane, Batum came over with a smile, and Wang Zelin asked.

Speaking of this, Wang Zelin's expression lit up instantly, and Batum saw it all.

Sure enough, Wang Zelin subconsciously touched his waist with his right hand and licked his tongue: "Those two young Brazilian models are really hot and open..."

Batum excitedly shouted: "Who are the young Brazilian models? That's because you haven't experienced the style of our French beauties. You know, our capital Paris is a world-famous romantic city!"

"Well, it seems that I need to go to France for a vacation during the offseason. Don't forget to do your part as a landlord then." Wang Zelin rubbed his hands and immediately suggested.

"And I!"

"Add me one!"

"Me too!"

"That's it, let's go to Brazil for vacation together during the offseason."

As the Trail Blazers return home, yesterday's game is being hyped by the media.

"So what with 37 points? Regarding Anthony's nth score this season, he deserves it!"

"With just one less Tyson Chandler, last year's Eastern Conference semifinals team was going to become a bad team? Or should we say that Tyson Chandler is the true leader of the Knicks..."

"It turns out that Cameron has never been a good leader!"

It is unimaginable that most of the above remarks criticizing Anthony were made by local New York media. It can also be seen from various reports that New York fans have reached an intolerable level for the Knicks' poor start to this year.

In a mansion in New York.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly there was the sound of the phone falling to the ground, cracking and shattering.

"Damn it! Why are you talking about me? Why are you clinging to me? Don't I want to win?"

Thinking of the various negative reports on the phone screen just now, Anthony couldn't get rid of his hatred and yelled like crazy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a long time, Anthony took out a spare mobile phone and dialed the number of Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh.

"What's wrong? Cameron."

After getting through, a man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Anthony said quietly: "Donny, I think it's time for us to make changes!"

"en..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Mike Woodson! I don't want to see him again. I hope the team can find a better coach with leadership skills instead of mediocre players who always blame the players."

Anthony stated his intentions straight to the point.

Core players demand a change of head coach!

Magical?

It's very magical.

This kind of thing is almost impossible in other basketball leagues, especially in the NCAA college league, where the basketball atmosphere is considered to be better and purer than that of the NBA. The head coach can even dominate the world with one hand, and has a team that cannot be challenged.

Absolute authority.

However, who said this is the NBA?

After all, the NBA is a business league. We are here to make a lot of money, but who can help us make money?

In other words, who is the irreplaceable commodity?

There is no doubt that it is the players, especially the star players.

Donnie Wax was silent for a while: "Cameron, I want to know, is this your personal idea or..."

Anthony didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and replied decisively: "This is the unanimous idea of ​​​​everyone!"

"Okay, I know."

"If possible, the sooner the better!"

"Dudududu!"

Putting down the phone, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Mike Woodson, who just arrived last season, gets along very well with the players, and D'Antoni also has a very friendly relationship, but that is based on the team's good record.

This season, the Knicks have suffered from repeated absences of players due to injuries, and their record is in a mess. When the team cannot win, the so-called harmonious relationship is actually thinner than paper and can be broken at a glance.

In Anthony's view, as one of the league's giants, he must bear the greatest responsibility for losing.
