Chapter 49: Return to the home field (the third change asks for a monthly pass)
McDonleavy's accusations have been widely disseminated by the mainstream media led by ESPN, and have become a conclusive truth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It seems that Zhou Zheng is already a sinister and vicious rookie rookie... With each of his assists, he was planning to put his opponent in the hospital.
"I repeat, I have no ill will, don't put all subjective assumptions on me. Speaking to reporters on Saturday night after the Portland Trail Blazers' defeat to the Sutmento Kings, Zhou repeatedly stressed to reporters: "All the tapes prove my innocence, and I don't accept any labels that the media put on me with a tendency to be a director." ”
Zhou Zheng looked a little anxious at this time, and tonight he handed in good statistics, 5 points and 10 assists to maintain his usual level, but the team lost to the Kings by 21 points. No one on the Trail Blazers could stand up against Pejastojanovic's three-point ...... He nearly blew Portland's basket out, hitting 10 three-pointers in the game.
And in this game, Raheem, the center of the Kings, fell at the feet of Zhou Zheng again. At that time, Zhou Zheng was defending Kevin Martin, Kevin Martin was going to slip a bottom line, and Zhou Zheng followed, when he got into the penalty area and was just about to come out, Raheem, who received the pass, quickly turned around, and then his knee hit Zhou Zheng's knee, and then... He fell, making a painful sound.
At that time, Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded.
He was sure that he didn't make the slightest superfluous move, and that he was simply tracking Kevin Martin's defense.
When Raheem was pushed out of the court, he was sure that there would be countless verbal criticisms to follow.
"I don't know how to explain it, but it was a real accident. Zhou Zheng helplessly faced the Satermento media and said: "At that time, I was just chasing Kevin Martin's off-ball run, and I didn't know that his knee would hit my knee." Believe me, Stanford definitely didn't teach this course. ”
Zhou Zheng didn't know how to prove his innocence, and he could only emphasize again and again that he was unconscious.
However, these did not work very well.
After the team arrived in San Francisco Oakland the next day, Rowan Garcia briefed him on the media coverage.
"ESPN says you're the most suave-looking cold-blooded assassin they've ever seen, and they say you should go to Hollywood and become a second Bruce Lee. ”
"Also, Sports Illustrated, they tease you to say... Your injury per game stats are about to surpass your points per game. ”
"Bill Simmons emphasized... You're Adidas' best spokesperson because every time a player lies at your feet, your signature shoes get countless close-ups. ”
"By the way, and that Ranbill. It's the guy from the Bad Boys Army, and he's been in the media and he's going to give you the full set of 'defensive tips' if you call him, and he's going to do it at no cost. ”
Zhou Zheng's expression was already a little twitching: "the defensive experience, I'm a clean player." Is there no one to defend me?"
"There are still ones, and T-NT's Charles Barkley is on your side. He said he had studied all the videos and he didn't think you had any malicious tendencies. And he slammed the media that amplified these things, saying that they are all a bunch of sissies who are afraid of chaos in the world, and he stressed that injuries on the court are normal, and the NBA is a high-intensity game, and any situation can lead to injury. ”
"This person is good, if he wants to interview me in the future, he can give him a special channel. Zhou Zheng nodded and said, finally there is a person who understands.
Rowan Garcia has a black line: "He's a narrator, he's not a reporter." ”
Zhou Zheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he took out the majesty of his employer and said, "Can't the narrator do the interview?"
Rowan Garcia continued with a sneer: "Slam Dunk Magazine is also on your side, and they also think it's all a coincidence. And they also wrote a special article praising you, and they rated you as a combination of Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd, saying that you have Iverson's breakthrough technology, and Jason Kidd's brain. ”
That's not a good analogy. Zhou Zheng muttered, and then said, "You can tell Dunk Magazine that if they need to interview me, they can call me at any time." ”
"Also, write down the names of all the people who bash me and blacklist them. I don't want to deal with people who don't like me. Zhou Zheng said with some arrogance.
Immediately, Zhou Zheng asked again: "Chris, how have they been doing recently?"
"Uh," Rowan Garcia hesitated and said, "Chris was elected the Western Conference Rookie of the Week, and although he lost all three games, his stats are very eye-catching, averaging 22.7 points and 7.3 assists per game to make him to the top." ”
Suddenly, Zhou Zheng's expression was a little gloomy. Then he said firmly, "What's our schedule for next week? ”
"After playing the Warriors, I came back to my home court, and the three opponents in a row were... New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks. Rowan Garcia analyzed: "You should focus on the confrontation with Atlanta and Milwaukee, the second and first picks respectively, and beating them will attract more eyeballs." And... You really deserve more points. ”
Zhou Zheng was silent and did not make a sound.
In the next game against the Golden State Warriors, Zhou Zheng increased his desire for individual attacks. But the final score was still only 11 points, and he could only score through breakaways, and he tried two jumpers, both of which failed.
Although the statistics of 11 points and 10 assists are good enough for a rookie point guard, McMillan repeatedly praised Zhou Zheng for playing brilliantly after the game.
But he was still very unhappy, and he was quite unhappy with this defeat. He thinks there is a chance to win. But in the third quarter, Ruben Patterson dominated the ball, he colluded with Telfair, and Zhou Zheng was completely overheaded, and he couldn't touch the ball at all.
"Tiger is playing really well and he's going to grow into a good point guard. But... Portland was clearly not the right environment for him to grow up. After the game, the elder Nelson said sincerely in an interview with Chinese reporters.
When the reporter asked for more, he smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a person who likes to point fingers at other teams, they will find a solution." ”
When old Nelson said this, the idea he had in his heart was actually to help Zhou Zhengyi, he liked this kid very much, although in the end the Warriors didn't get him. But he didn't want Zhou Zheng to play in an isolated environment, so he took the initiative to leak such a little rumor.
The news of his leakage was soon added to the news of Macmillan, and what a clever man MacMillan was, he immediately understood what old Nelson meant.
His handling was also brilliant, and he said evasively: "I don't know what he's talking about, but some of the players in our team are playing too selfishly. ”
The Portland reporter then interviewed Ruben Patterson about the issue.
Ruben Patterson innocently spread his hands in front of the camera: "I don't know who he's talking about, anyway, on the court I only care about myself." ”
Patterson's answer left the reporters dumbfounded.
Is this a denial? or an acknowledgment?
Before Zhou Zheng stepped on the plane back to Portland, he received a call from Universal, whose publicity manager told Zhou Zheng that they had made an additional budget to shoot the music video for Zhou Zheng's new album and invited Hollywood's promising new stars to partner with him, and that they had now arrived in Portland.
"Okay. "Although Zhou Zheng doesn't want to get involved in the entertainment industry when he is playing basketball, since he has already come, let's shoot it. Anyway, I'll be in Portland for the next week.
And when Zhou Zheng returned to his home in Portland and turned on the TV, he found that Lindsay Lohan appeared on the TV. She came to Portland to attend a sponsor event, and in an interview with local media, she told reporters with a happy face: "I like Portland very much, not only is it beautiful, but it is also very humane, and I hope to be able to stay here for a while, preferably with a house of my own." ”
"Do you want to have a home here?" said a reporter's voiceover from outside the camera. Portlanders know that this little Hollywood princess has a relationship with their little tiger... Ambiguous.
"Of course!" Lindsay Lohan told reporters with great certainty: "I'm a die-hard Trail Blazers fan. ”
