The next day, the team's official training camp opened.

Wang Zelin trains at the headquarters during the day and goes home for special training at night. After the media day, it also means the beginning of the new season. He must get his body back from vacation state to competitive state as soon as possible.

Not only him, but other team members are also taking the time to train these days, because there are still a few days until the preseason starts.

The Portland Trail Blazers team has a total of 5 preseason games in the 2014-205 season against the Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, and Detroit Pistons.

To be honest, Wang Zelin originally did not plan to play in such a small preseason game. He wanted to give the opportunity to young people like Jokic, and also wanted to take a look at Jokic's current performance on the court.

However, considering that the first opponent in the preseason is the Lakers, there is no way...

In the new season, it has become a tradition in the NBA to arrange a strong matchup at the beginning of the season.

Moreover, the location was set at the Wukesong Gymnasium in Yanjing, the capital of China, and the management issued a fatal order to get off to a good start...

Based on all the above, Wang Zelin decided to play in the first preseason game.

…

…

A few more days passed.

October 6th at 8pm.

The Yanjing Station of the Tianchao Game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers has begun.

According to NBA arrangements, the game in Yanjing is the home game of the Lakers, and the game in Edinburgh the day after tomorrow on the 8th is the home game of the Trail Blazers.

When the time came to 7:35 pm, when the players from both sides entered the court, Kobe, who was "playing at home", heard everyone shouting "MVP". Before he could be happy, Wang Zhelin's figure appeared on the court, "MVP".

"The voice became louder and louder.

Damn, don't waste your expression.

Black Mamba was helpless. He didn't understand what the official purpose was of arranging them to play at home.

Players from both sides communicated for a while on the field, mainly discussing how to play the next game to make it enjoyable.

By the way, most of the teammates except Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian were surprised by the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, and they didn't know why they were so popular in China.

Is this the benefit of partnering with Chinese players?

It’s really awesome.

The other end.

Even Kobe, a paranoid guy, did not reject the tacit understanding that the two sides had reached to play a beautiful offensive battle.

After all, it is just a preseason game after all. The main players can play a maximum of 20 minutes. The main purpose of the coaching staff of both sides is still to hone tactics.

Before the game started, Wang Zelin took a look at the evaluation of the opponent's players' abilities.

"Player: Kobe Bryant

Seeing Kobe's overall rating, the kings were both surprised and emotional. Compared with last season, Kobe's overall rating dropped by 1 point, and his external defense ability is no longer 90, but this guy's offensive firepower is still ridiculously strong.

, especially his three-point shooting ability is a little stronger than last year.

And don't forget.

According to Wang Zelin's understanding of Kobe, Kobe's current physical fitness and stamina can no longer support him to maintain an integrated offense and defense throughout the game. But at critical moments, Kobe's defense can definitely return to the best defensive team level.

This is the Black Mamba, bloodthirsty is Mamba’s instinct!

only……

grass!

Although he knew that Kobe was very powerful, he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

You know, this guy is already 36 this year!

The 36-year-old Kobe is probably the only active player in the league who can compete with him offensively, including Durant, Anthony, and James.

Wang Zelin then checked Qilong’s ability evaluation.

"Player: Rajon Rondo

The technical characteristics of Long's guidance are very obvious. He is weak in offense and strong in defense. He is especially good at organization. His style and attributes are paired with Kobe who is gradually transitioning to playing without the ball. It seems to be a promising one.

In addition to the two, Wang Zelin also took a look at the third giant Pau Gasol who finally chose to stay with the team in the summer.

With a comprehensive rating of 86, he is also an All-Star player at his peak, which fits Wang Zelin's memory of Pau Gasol.

After joining the Bulls in the original history, Pau Gasol was still able to perform 18-11 and was selected to the second team of the All-NBA Team.

One superstar partners with two All-Stars. This is the core framework of the Lakers at this stage. Next, the Lakers management only needs to find a group of good role players to serve as championship puzzle pieces. The Lakers in front of them are fully hopeful and capable for this season.

Attack the championship.

Wang Zelin, the past two seasons should be regarded as a transitional period for Kobe. Although he failed to make the playoffs in 2013 and stopped in the first round in 2014, people have indeed seen that Kobe has completely changed his style of play.

From being all-inclusive in the past, to now focusing on a more "healthy" off-ball style of play, this style of play may be able to better extend Kobe's career longevity.

At the beginning of August, the Lakers management snatched Mo Williams from the trade market, a bench criminal who specialized in scoring, obviously to give Kobe Bryant a better chance to rest.

Thinking of this, Wang Zelin's sadness about being in the west increased again.

It’s really hard to get along in the West these days!

Maybe, there will be another wave of "50" battles this year with no chance of winning a ticket to the Western Conference playoffs.

Jump ball in the center circle.

As expected.

After the game officially started, everyone had agreed in advance to attack each other and make the scene lively.

But after Wang Zelin sensed the threat from the Lakers' new three giants, he started to work hard.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' relaxation of vigilance, they continued to attack at the beginning, scoring 8 points and 3 rebounds in a row under the basket. They also gave Long a nail-biting block to Coach Long who entered the penalty area, helping the Trail Blazers play an 11:2 run.

Start.

Three of the 11 points were scored by Lillard from the outside.

"This guy... is so ungrateful to martial ethics!"
