Are you kidding me?

The performance of the Big Three in the opening game of the new season can only be said to be pretty good. They scored 61 points together, but the performance of the other role players was quite average.

The Trail Blazers are blooming more. In addition to the Four Kings, there are 3 people who scored in double figures, and a total of 7 people in the team scored in double figures.

This is a naked crushing victory!

"52 points! The Portland Trail Blazers defeated their opponent at home by 52 points! It's terrible!"

"What's even more terrifying is that Wang Zelin took less than 10 shots tonight, less than half of what he took last season..."

"It's so cruel, not giving the opponent any chance!"

"145 points in a single game in the opening game. This should be the strongest scoring performance in the history of the Trail Blazers in an opening game, right?"

"19 points in a single game! How long has it been since Wang Zelin scored more than 20 points in a single game?"

"Yeah, this is the most terrifying thing to think about! Strictly speaking, Wang Zelin only played the third quarter and the first 4 minutes of the third quarter tonight. The total is less than 15 minutes. This should be Has he ever won the most comfortable opening match?"

"It turns out that ESPN is going to be slapped in the face again!"

"Haha, with such a performance, I really can't imagine that there is a team that can be ranked in front of the Trail Blazers."

"I'm already looking forward to the Trail Blazers and Knicks games."

"Brother upstairs, so am I!"

"By the way, haven't you paid attention to the fans before the game? This is the rhythm of going LeBron's way and leaving LeBron with nowhere to go!"

"Haha, hearing you say that, I am looking forward to the first game of the season between the Trail Blazers and the Knicks."

"You don't need to think about it, the Knicks will definitely be blown away by then."

…

The 52-point victory over the opponent in a single game not only created the largest point difference in the history of the Trail Blazers in an opening game, but also created the highest score in an opening game in team history.

On social media after the game, Trail Blazers fans and Wang Mi were as lively as the Chinese New Year. A large number of melon-eating people were also frightened by the terrifying offensive displayed by the Trail Blazers tonight.

However, the big news that really attracted all the attention after the game was that Wang Zelin's record of scoring 20+ points in a single game for three consecutive seasons in the regular season was interrupted!

"How do you evaluate Wang Zelin's 19-point performance in the opening game?"

The question became the hottest topic on social media after the game, sparking widespread discussion.

At this time, people felt more deeply Wang Zelin's unparalleled talent in scoring.

From the regular season of the 2013-14 season until tonight's opening game, Wang Zelin has not scored less than 20 points in a game for two...three and a half years.

Among them, in the past 2016-17 season, Wang Zelin not only contributed to the fans a great offensive performance averaging more than 40 points per game in a single season, but also set a magical record of only scoring less than 30 points in a single season!

This is a quite remarkable record. Even the basketball **** Michael Jordan, who is famous for his scoring in NBA history, has never achieved such a thing.

For a time, the fans were carnivaling, the melon-eaters were shocked, and the media was crazy about it.

This surprised Wang Zelin.

He really didn't expect that the impact he would have if he scored 19 points one day would be even more exaggerated than if he scored 50 or 60 points in a single game.

It can only be said that the fans and the media have adapted to his performance of scoring 30+ and 40+ points at every turn. This kind of performance is already very sparse and ordinary in everyone's eyes, and now suddenly there is a "sluggish" performance of 19 points. Instead, it instantly stole all the heat.

After the game with Mosaic, the team's general manager Orsi told him that FOX had increased the Trail Blazers' broadcast contract offer.

Before the season, FOX had already quoted a broadcast contract for the Trail Blazers, worth 800 million yuan in 10 years.

Orsi did not agree at the time. On the one hand, Paul Allen felt that the offer was low, and on the other hand, the team had to follow Wang Zelin's opinion.

Well, Wang Zelin once again firmly holds the title of team controller.

Ahem, let’s get down to business.

After the opening game, FOX fully realized the huge value of Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers, and made a new offer—1 billion over 10 years!

This is already a very exaggerated figure. You must know that there are very few teams in the NBA that have exclusive broadcast contracts. The Lakers’ highest bid is 3 billion in 2020.

On average, this is equivalent to taking 150 million from Time Warner every year.

You know, the Lakers are one of the two giants in the NBA. Not only is the team rich in heritage, but it is also located in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, which is a world-class metropolis!

To put it bluntly, the Trail Blazers are just an "upstart" compared to Los Angeles at this stage, and Portland is far less influential and well-known than Los Angeles. Such an offer is already quite outrageous.

After receiving this new offer, the day after the Trail Blazers played the game against the Mosaics, team owner Paul Allen sent someone to invite Wang Zelin to his manor.

When Wang Zelin heard the news, he was not too surprised.

The Trail Blazers are already a phenomenal team in the league. It's already too late for FOX to wait until now.

If FOX's broadcast of the Trail Blazers is somewhat different from Time Warner's broadcast of the Lakers.

The reason why it can do that is because Time Warner's ratings in the Los Angeles area are quite high.

Since Time Warner's ratings in the Los Angeles area are very high, Time Warner's exclusive exclusives need to be charged for fans in the Los Angeles area.

FOX is located in the New Orleans area, and it is obviously unable to compare with Time Warner in terms of ratings in surrounding areas.

Therefore, the broadcast contract offered to the Trail Blazers by the other party not only increased the broadcast fee, but also complemented the league's broadcast contract.

The most important thing here is that when there is no NBA official all-American live broadcast of the Trail Blazers game, FOX will broadcast it live all over the United States.

Take this season as an example, the Trail Blazers have had 31 official all-American live broadcasts, second only to the New York Knicks (37 games) and the Los Angeles Lakers (40 games), still ranking third in the league!

There is no way, the Knicks are born with wealth and destiny. Although the Lakers were downgraded from a championship team a few years ago to a playoff team, their background is there, and the Los Angeles ball market is not much worse than the Knicks. The number of live broadcasts of the two teams , ranking among the top two in the league all year round, it is not difficult to understand.

As we all know, there are 82 games in the NBA regular season. As long as the Trail Blazers sign this broadcast contract, it means that the remaining 51 games will be broadcast live across the United States through their media.

To a certain extent, the Trail Blazers have become the team with the most live broadcasts and influence in the league!

If there weren't so many live broadcasts, FOX Sports wouldn't offer such a large offer.

After arriving at Paul Allen's manor, Wang Zelin discovered that Orsi had arrived early.

In fact, the team has almost discussed the broadcast contract with FOX executives. It called Wang Zelin to come over to negotiate together, mainly to express the respect of the team management for him.

Just when Wang Zelin thought the trip was over, Paul Allen's words suddenly stunned him.

"Wang, do you want to acquire shares in the Trail Blazers?"

Not only Wang Zelin was stunned, Orsi, who had been acting as a backdrop for a long time, was also dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

Is it possible that Wang will become his own boss in the future? !

Although Wang Zelin is in the spotlight now, his role in the NBA is actually that of a laborer. The real employer is the team owner, Paul Allen standing in front of him.

Capital and labor are naturally on opposite sides!

In recent years, due to Wang Zelin's leadership ability and the new broadcast contract signed by the NBA, the market value of the Portland Trail Blazers has continued to rise, ranking second only to the New York Knicks and the New York Knicks in the market value of active teams. Los Angeles Lakers.

Wang Zelin's love for basketball is undoubtedly from the heart. If he says that he has not imagined that he will one day become an NBA owner, it is definitely a lie.

Jordan is known as the God of Basketball and has become the idol of countless fans, not only because of his glory and legend as a player, but also because he stepped back and became the owner of the Hornets, completing the transition from NBA player to team owner. transformation.

This is an unprecedented first time in NBA history!

As early as the last century, there was something similar between Magic Johnson and the Lakers.

Among the Magicians, he played for the Purple and Gold Army throughout his life and brought huge benefits to the Lakers. After his retirement, Buss gave Magic some shares as a gift.

But now, the laws in the United States have been improved, and share gifts have become illegal.

Buss had previously had conflicts with Kobe over the shower issue.

Old Buss wanted to give it to Kobe directly but couldn't. Kobe wanted to buy Old Buss himself but didn't want to.

So, your uncle is your uncle after all!

In the world of NBA, the influence of the God of Basketball is qualitatively different from that of other players.

Wang Zelin did have the idea of ​​becoming a team owner after retiring, but he did not think it was very likely that he would become the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers. The greater probability is to follow Jordan and buy a team in a small market. Become a team owner.

But now, Paul Allen actually brought it up on his own initiative, something he never dared to think about.

At this moment, Wang Zelin suddenly remembered a piece of news he had seen in his previous life.

As one of the founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen is one of the top tycoons in the NBA. He is also one of the most sports-loving bosses in the United States. He owns the NBA team Portland Trail Blazers and the NFL football team Seattle Seahawks. A team in the four major majors, he will go to the scene to support his team in almost every game, and his craziness is no less than that of Mavericks owner Cuban.

Unfortunately, Paul Allen died of cancer in 2018. His sister Judy Allen took over his basketball assets, which included team shares in the Trail Blazers and Seahawks.

Paul was keen on sports, but his sister was not interested at all. The team was just a business to her. So when the Trail Blazers had a poor record and attendance dropped, Judy revealed that she had sold the team. The plan of the pioneers.

Could it be that Paul Allen, whose time was running out, saw that his sister had no love for sports and wanted to entrust the team to him?

After a brainstorm, Wang Zelin finally came to this conclusion.

This is not impossible. After Paul Allen took over the Trail Blazers, his long absence from the championship became a worry in his heart.

After the 14-15 season in the original time and space, as Aldridge, Matthews, Batum and others left the team one after another, the Trail Blazers became Lillard's single-core team overnight.

Although Lillard has led the team to the playoffs all year round when healthy, and even reached the Western Conference Finals one year, he has never made a substantial impact on the championship.

Until Paul Allen passed away in 2018, he never solved the problem of the Blazers not having a championship.

But now it is different from the original time and space. Under the leadership of Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers have not only established a dynasty, but are now expected to win five consecutive championships. Paul Allen's heartache has long been gone.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to explain that he wants to hand over his beloved basketball career to someone who deserves recognition.

Obviously, as for the successor of the Trail Blazers, he picked Wang Zelin!

Sure enough, after seeing Wang Zelin's doubts, Paul Allen smiled and explained: "Wang, my personal doctor said that I don't have much time left. Judy has no interest in the NBA or NBL, so, I want you to be the next leader of the Trail Blazers!"

"I know you have the strength."

After saying that, Paul Allen looked at Wang Zelin expectantly.

As a world-class rich man, it is not difficult for him to know Wang Zelin's actual assets.

After his idea was confirmed, Wang Zelin's breathing became obviously heavier, and Orsi next to him subconsciously held his breath.

Orsi: "Can a wage earner like me hear this kind of thing?"

"I need to go back and communicate with the team~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Facing Orsi's eyes, Wang Zelin nodded solemnly.

"good."

This matter involved so many aspects that Paul Allen did not ask him to make a decision immediately.

In fact, for Wang Zelin, it is still too early to consider things after retirement.

But since Paul Allen gave him such a rare opportunity to change from labor to capital, he must seize it.

After all, it’s not like our king doesn’t have that strength!

The result of this kind of thing cannot be discussed in a day or two, and who knows if Paul Allen just had a whim?

Therefore, Wang Zelin didn't care too much. It would be best if he could win the Trail Blazers. If he couldn't win, he could think about it slowly after he retires. (End of chapter)
