After being selected by the Los Angeles Clippers, Wang Zhe joined the summer training camp.
Fortunately, the system had been more " obedient " during this period of time and did not mess with its youngest son. Wang Zhe was able to train hard and sufficiently.
This was a big surprise to the management of the Los Angeles team.
Originally, they thought that Wang Zhe, who had the label of a " problem player," would be more unrestrained after coming to a city like Los Angeles.
He did not expect him to stay on the training ground all summer and train hard.
In the next two rounds of the summer league, Wang Zhe produced dominating numbers, with an average of 25 20 per game. His dominance in the paint was unsolvable.
After such a performance was reported by the media, some experts began to feel jealous.
"Wang Zhe, who went to the Los Angeles Clippers, actually became obedient? Was everything a conspiracy by the Los Angeles Clippers?”
……
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Previously, there had been some gossip reports that in order to be able to select Wang Zhe, the Laker team had spent a huge sum of money to hire a public relations team to create the image of him as a " problem player." That was why other teams did not dare to intercept him.
Of course, Cook had done it flawlessly. No one could find such evidence, and the NBA officials had no reason to punish the Los Angeles team.
However, in the third round of the Las Vegas Summer League, Wang Zhe returned to his " nature " and began to appear frequently in nightclubs and casinos.
……
Summer United ended, and so did the rest of the team's vacation. Everyone returned to the team to prepare for the new season.
When Kobe, Gasol, and the other star players saw Wang Zhe's performance in the summer league, they were relieved.
Combined with Wang Zhe's one-on-one against Shark Bynum before the draft, everyone was more and more confident in defending their title in the new season.
However, the little shark Bynum did not seem to practice hard. After being beaten up by Wang Zhe, he was completely willing to help.
He didn't practice much during the off-season and went to Hawaii to play.
When the preseason began, Kobe and Wang Zhe only played half a game together and played in a dominant situation.
It was quite similar to the OK Group from back then.
The Laker fans went crazy. They gave Wang Zhe a new nickname," Big Yellow Shark."
Obviously," yellow " was referring to Wang Zhe's skin color, while " shark " was referring to Shaquille O'Neal.
In the end, there was no " small " in his nickname, which clearly highlighted the fact that the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers recognized Wang Zhe more. At least, he was much better than Bynum.
……
The regular season was coming up. As the defending champion, the Los Angeles Clippers were placed in the opening game of the new season. Their opponent was the Orlando Magic, their opponent in the finals last season.
The NBA officials liked to arrange opponents from the previous season's finals as a rehearsal for the opening game of the new season. This kind of matchup was full of topics. It could not only examine the strength of the strong teams in the East and West in the summer, but also arrange a good show for the opening of the new season.
Although this game was played at the home of the Los Angeles Clippers, and a few months ago in the finals, the Los Angeles Clippers had eliminated the Orlando Magic with a score of 4:1. It seemed relatively easy, but in fact, the whole process was not as easy as the results showed.
Other than the first round, which was won by a large margin, the rest of the matches were not won by much.
In that series, the two towers that the Los Angeles Clippers were proud of in the Western Conference were completely destroyed by the Magic's star player, Dwight Howard.
In front of the monster, the little shark Bynum was in a terrible situation.
Fortunately, he managed to win a match and save some face.
The rest of the time, they relied on Kobe Bryant's superb performance to win the game.
Now, in the new season, the Magic had made a comeback. It was said that Howard, who had lost in the finals, had trained hard for an offseason just to get revenge.
Almost all the champions of the Laker team chose to go on vacation, and the entire vacation was wasted. Although the star player Kobe was on vacation in Brazil, he did not forget to train every day.
However, after Gasol, Bynum, and the others returned, they had obviously put on weight.
Under the circumstances, the outcome of such an opening match was still unknown.
However, during the summer's draft, the Laker unexpectedly picked up Wang Zhe, the Chinese player inside the post, with the 29th pick.
And Wang Zhe's performance in the summer league made them look like the biggest winners in the draft.
On the day of the opening game, the Los Angeles media asked the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, Phil Jackson, in a live interview,""Phil, you guys are going to play the opening game against the Orlando Magic later. It's said that Dwight Howard has been training hard all summer and has made great progress. Last season's NBA Finals, the Laker couldn't restrain him at all in the paint.”
Phil Jackson laughed." It's true that no one in the entire league could restrain Dwight Howard, but we won the series. In addition, we have a young center forward in our team this summer, Wang Zhe. He has excellent talent. Believe me, he will definitely cause trouble for the Magical Beasts.”
Reporter: " That's right. It's said that the handsome Wang Zhe is also the face of the Los Angeles team. The female fans in Los Angeles like him. Can Wang Zhe come to the camera and answer a few questions?”
"Of course," laughed Phil Jackson.”
Then, he turned around and called Wang Zhe, but no one answered.
After a while, the assistant coach ran over and whispered to him,""Coach, Wang Zhe went to the nightclub last night and drank too much. He's still sleeping. He said he'll be there before the game starts.”
Upon hearing this news, Faye Jackson clenched her fists tightly."This kid went drinking again. He dares to miss the pre-match training for the opening match? He doesn't have to play today!"
