The moment the backboard was smashed, Wang Zhe was furious.
The match between the two champions was broadcasted live across the United States by ESPN. When the fans saw the shocking scene of the rebound being smashed, all the basketball fans in the United States were in an uproar.
Wang Zhe's name quickly reached the top of the trending searches within two hours, and the image of him smashing the rebound was downloaded and shared by a large number of people.
Experts and the media quickly commented on such a hot topic.
"To be able to smash the rebound of this era, how much strength is needed!”
" Wang Zhe has the power of history, which is why he signed the college league. After entering the NBA, he won't be at a disadvantage against a top center like Howard.”
"Is this still the 'problem player' from back then? Look, how strong he is!"
"Handsome, good at fighting, and a delinquent. Wang Zhe will definitely be loved by the fans!”
……
After the 20-minute break, the situation of the two teams changed drastically after the Los Angeles Clippers came back from their away game against the Mavericks.
In the first half, the entire team lost their sense of touch and immediately recovered their shooting percentage as if they had changed teams.
Wang Zhe, who smashed the rebound, was even more valiant.
In the end, under the leadership of Kobe and Wang Zhe, the Lakers completed a big comeback. They reversed the Mavericks 114:109 in the away game and won the Western Conference.
Wang Zhe once again played well, scoring 22 points and 17 rebounded.
Although his points were not as high as Kobe's 35 points, in the eyes of the fans, Wang Zhe was the biggest contributor to the victory of the game. It was his shocking move of smashing the rebound that boosted the morale of the team and helped them regain their touch.
The opponent was so frightened that the power suddenly went out and they were not in their best condition.
Under these circumstances, the Clippers were able to complete such a big reversal.
……
As this incident spread, Wang Zhe's popularity instantly swept across the United States.
As the top scorer of the same season, Blake Griffin was still recovering from his injury on the Clippers.
As a former college teammate, Stephen Curry, who was the seventh pick in the draft, couldn't help but sigh after seeing Wang Zhe's performance."This guy's improvement is too fast. He wasn't so fierce in university.”
The general manager of the Grizzlies was even more regretful."If only we had forcefully intercepted Hu Wangzhe. Who cares if he's a problem player or not?”
On the Rockets, when Big Yao, who was recovering from his injury, saw Wang Zhe's performance, he said excitedly,""Wang Zhe is awesome! Our basketball team has new hope!”
In China, the domestic fans exploded.
Big Yao was plagued by injuries, and the huge fan base in China had lost their idol. Wang Zhe's sudden appearance rekindled their enthusiasm for the NBA.
Countless Laker fans began to emerge.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Wang Zhe's name had spread even further. Many fans now believed that Wang Zhe would be the true second-in-command of the Laker team in the future. He and Kobe would replicate the OK duo from back then.
The Los Angeles Clippers were about to usher in a new dynasty!
……
The fans weren't wrong. The winning streak continued.
However, the good times did not last long. In a game against the Timberwolves, Kobe's old shoulder injury relapsed, and he had to rest for a while.
It had been 11 years since Kobe debuted in 1996. As the top shooting guard in the league, the defensive care he received in the game could be described as epic.
Kobe's title as the number one point guard in the NBA was earned through hard work, which also caused him to accumulate a lot of injuries in his long career.
After many years, he was no longer the iron man he was when he was young.
Once the injury relapsed, he would have to start recuperating. Everything was just to be in the best physical condition at the start of the playoffs and start the road to defending his title.
Kobe was injured, and the Los Angeles Clippers were leaderless. Gasol did not have the ability to lead the team, and Fisher was never a leader, let alone players like Artest and Bynum.
Some Los Angeles fans had a bold idea."I don't know if Wang Zhe will become the new leader of the Laker during this difficult period. I think he can!”
Wang Zhe's style of play and his handsomeness had indeed captured many Los Angeles fans, so much so that the fans now had high expectations of him. They all felt that he could lead the Los Angeles team to glory like O'Neal.
However, just as the Los Angeles fans were looking forward to it, what awaited them was the incident of Wang Zhe causing trouble outside the court.
According to Los Angeles media reports, last night, someone drove a sports car and caused a traffic accident near Beverly Hills. The man drove the sports car into a green area.
Fortunately, only the car was damaged and there were no casualties.
According to the local gossip media in Los Angeles, the driver was the popular rookie center of the Los Angeles Laker, Wang Zhe.
Once such an incident occurred, Wang Zhe was once again pushed to the cusp of the storm.
