"McMillan was underrated, and honestly, he caught me off guard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Jeff Van Gundy praised the Trail Blazers coach after the game: "He turned the game around in the second half and we were on the back foot. ”

As for Zhou Zheng, under the questioning of Chinese reporters, he was particularly perfunctory: "He played well, got a very beautiful assist, and also had very wonderful shots." ”

The words are full of arguments that 'Zhou Zheng is an idol player'.

"So do you think he fits into Houston's tactics, and if he joins the Rockets, will he get a spot in your tactics?"

Chinese journalists like to ask hypothetical questions, and if the questionee agrees with the hypothesis, they will trigger a wave of frenzied chases and quizzes.

This kind of 'making something out of nothing' is their usual way of making news.

Jeff Van Gundy has always been a boring person, not to mention that he doesn't like Zhou Zheng.

"I don't like to make assumptions. And the Rockets' point guard position no longer needs to add players. "Jeff Van Gundy almost said it to death.

"So, what do you think of Zhou, and what do you think are the differences and similarities between him and Yao?"

The reporter was a little bit of a fierce chase.

"First of all, they are all Chinese, and secondly, they are all standing and peeing. Jeff Van Gundy's mood was palpably impatient.

"What about the difference?"

The difference is that Yao is a humble person, a hard-working person, and a person who doesn't have any lace news, Yao is always paying serious attention to basketball and doing his job seriously. And Zhou, I can only see his news in the entertainment section. Jeff Van Gundy didn't want to hide it at all: "I don't like Zhou, he is very famous now and can make a lot of money. However, he didn't have anything for me to respect in basketball. ”

"He threw the basketball into the basket in the last minute of the game, and I don't know what that three-point will mean to him. But for me, I'll always remember it and then... Give them back in Portland. ”

Jeff Van Gundy left with a rage.

This stunned the Chinese journalists, who were immersed in the joy of the Chinese derby.

Then, Yao Shu appeared at the press conference, he praised Zhou Zheng, thought that Zhou Zheng played very well, and also summarized the reasons for the failure.

Then, he left.

Next, McHale appeared at the press conference with Zach Randolph, and everyone originally thought that Zhou Zheng, as one of the protagonists of the Chinese derby, would give a post-match interview.

"Tiger suddenly has some personal matters to attend to, and he's already on a plane to New Jersey. ”

McMillan explained the situation as soon as he came up.

Then, he lavished praise on Zhou Zheng: "He is a phenomenal point guard, he got 15 points and 14 assists tonight, and he helped the team win." This game is a good illustration of how unfounded Bill Simmons' accusations are. ”

"Needless to say, he's the future of Portland. Zachrandolph also gave a clear response: "I will not have any jealousy of him, he is my Robin." He's become the core of our perimeter line, and I've had a great time working with him, and I'm sure we're going to be the greatest duo in the league." ”

"Any compliment is appropriate for him. I'm not saying this because you're a Chinese journalist. McMillan continued: "I think he's going to get to a great height in the future, he just needs to work out the physical intensity and then learn to throw the basketball into the hoop and he'll be able to get into the top class of stars. ”

"As for the last shot, everybody knows it's a balloon. McMillan was tough: "If Jeff Van Gundy has to play because of this shot, then come on, we're not afraid of any challenge. ”

"The tactics of the second half were not my first creation. It was Tiger who came up with the concept that he believed that the high pick-and-roll combined with the reverse run in Princeton's system could make the Rockets tired. It's his success, and I don't want to take it for myself. McMillan traced back to the source, emphasizing that the tactics came from Zhou Zheng.

This caused an uproar at the scene. The only thing Jeff Van Gundy had previously praised was McMillan's second-half move, and now there was such a stunning reversal...... It turned out to be a tactic created by Zhou Zheng, who he despised him.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was a slap in the face.

"You'll never guess how high Zhou Zheng's basketball IQ is. Zach Randolph emphasized: "He's actually part of our coaching team. ”

Although Zhou Zheng was absent from the press conference, the core topic of the entire press conference was still him.

As soon as the press conference ended, the overwhelming press release flew back to China.

The news of Zhou Zheng's slap in the face of Jeff Van Gundy immediately became the focus of attention.

The reviews showed a one-sided trend.

Jeff Van Gundy was already disliked by Chinese fans because of his old-fashioned tactics, sluggishness on the field, and ruthless manipulation of Yao Shu, and now he was slapped in the face for despising Zhou Zheng...... The vast majority of Chinese fans think it is very exciting, that is, they should give these arrogant Yankees some lessons from the socialist youth.

Public opinion at home is overturned, and abroad is more suspicious...... The fact that a player came up with a playcard in the locker room and convinced the coaching staff and executed it to win the game was a big blow to them, and they believed that Jason Kidd might have the ability, but Tiger?

"McMillan told a lie that wasn't very clever, and all the Trail Blazers players were helping him make it happen. ”

"The Trail Blazers were already creating the Tiger myth, they wanted to sell more tickets, so they pushed Tiger into the omniscient position. ”

Zhou Zheng is going farther and farther on the road of idol players, and even the people around him have begun to create his glamorous image. ”

“……”

Most of the U.S. media defined this as a deliberate marketing campaign by the Trail Blazers, who were unwilling to believe that Zhou Zheng could manipulate the tactics, let alone that his talent could turn the team back from defeat in the second half.

Amid the skepticism, the Trail Blazers' players and coaching staff have raised their voices, but their voice has limited impact, and they can only influence Ohio, and only the media here is willing to listen to them. Elsewhere... are all thinking they're hype.

And the night before the second regular season meeting with the New Jersey Nets, viewers were surprised to find that Zhou Zheng appeared on the hugely rated "Colan O'Brien Late-Night Talk Show."

Colan used exaggerated words to describe Zhou Zheng: "He is a Hollywood mean girl terminator, a nightmare for armed robbers, and a cold-blooded killer in the NBA...... He is also the creator of healing love songs and the favorite of urban female white-collar workers. Hey, I said buddy, isn't this kid tired at all?"

When Zhou Zheng appeared, there were loud cheers from the scene.

"Can you determine if the person cheering down below is your fan or a fan or... A fan of Lindsay Lohan?"

Curran asked a very serious and funny question.

"I don't know. Zhou Zheng shook his head and replied humorously: "But I'm sure they didn't recognize the wrong person." That's right, yes, I'm Tiger, and it's nice to meet you guys. ”

The scene immediately responded with cheers.
