Chapter 52: A Terrible Opponent (Part 7)
Johnny didn't immediately release the photos he took, and he asked several newspapers and entertainment outlets, and they didn't offer a high price...... Because in the eyes of the public, Zhou Zheng and Lindsay Lohan were originally a couple, and they didn't have any explosive points when they went to the drive-in movie theater to watch a movie?
Johnny plans to keep the photos on for a while, and he's sure someone will realize that they're worth $100,000 sooner or later.
On Saturday morning, Zhou Zheng met with reporters from Slam Dunk magazine accompanied by Sani, and they took a lot of photos of Zhou Zheng, and then began a detailed interview in the afternoon.
The interview with Slam Dunk magazine was very detailed, and even Zhou Zheng's height and weight were re-measured...... He is 6 feet 3 (190.8 cm), has an arm span of 6 feet six (199.9 cm), and weighs 185 pounds (84 kg). Very typical point guard stature, statistically average. Originally, they were going to measure the speed and bounce height of the whole course.
Later, Zhou Zheng thought that it was too troublesome, so he politely refused.
"I probably fell in love with basketball when I was seven or eight years old, because I grew up living with my grandfather, and my grandfather loved to play basketball, so I started playing basketball at a very young age. ”
"My style of play has continued since I was very young, I prefer to play with my skills on the pitch with my possession skills, and when I take out the opposition's well-packed defence, I feel more satisfied than I am in the goal. But now, I'm starting to make a shift because scoring is still important. ”
"Yes, I also like to help my team-mates score goals, I'm a math person, so a lot of my passes are calculated and I don't think I'm a very imaginative person, but solid geometry allows me to find some passes that others might not be able to find. ”
"Those two lore kills last year? yes, they were indeed my famous work, and I still can't help but get excited when I flip through the video. ”
"Favorite player? Well, Alan Iverson. Last time a commentator said I was the passing version of Alan Iverson, I was so excited that it was cool to be able to compare myself to him. ”
"They've had a great regular season this year, and their style of play is pretty much the same as Stanford's. I love Stephen Nash and I think he can be in the top five point guards of all time. ”
"You ask me who the first four are? Hey, I can't give you this list because once I say four names, the other great players who aren't mentioned will be jealous. I'm not a troublemaker. ”
"As for this season, I still hope to be in the final four. But the game has to be played one by one, who knows? Maybe you win the championship, you always have to have a dream, in case it comes true. ”
"I've seriously considered going into the NBA, but I'm not going to make my decision public right now. There's always going to be some suspense, isn't it?"
"The NBA team I'd most like to be a part of? Well, that's not something I can decide, right? I went to Madison Garden once last year, and I accompanied Josh. As we sat down at the small round table below, it was clear to me that we were the fish of the wet market, and there was no way to predict what kind of customers we would be buying. ”
"Favourite team? It used to be the Satermento Kings, but now that Chris Webber is in Philadelphia, their flashy style of play is out of par. Now it should be... San Antonio Spurs, they're always doing the right thing. This is very important for basketball. ”
"About my compatriot? I've watched him live, and I was sitting at Staples Arena for his first fight with Shaq, and it's so cool! He's my pride! I'm always proud of him. ”
'I want to be a player who can play both offensively and defensively, and although Thani always says I like to gamble on tackles, but tackling is something I love and I like to give my defenders some aggressive moves. ”
“……”
Zhou Zheng chatted with the reporter for nearly two hours, the chat was very pleasant, Zhou Zheng is an interesting and talkative person, and the reporter also likes Zhou Zheng, so in the end the two even left each other's phone calls.
After the interview, Zhou Zheng received a call from Sani that Stanford's next opponent had been announced, and they would leave for Chicago on Sunday night, where their opponent was already waiting for them.
Sani's tone on the phone was very heavy, and it was clear that this opponent was very tricky.
The University of Illinois is a strong team this year, and they are known as a team with great championship potential, with Deron Williams, Rutherhead and DeBrown as their ace triumvirate, all three of whom are defenders and have their own styles.
Among them, Deron Williams is called one of the three best point guards in the NCAA, alongside Chris Paul and Raymond Felton.
Although Zhou Zheng is on the rise during this time, everyone still thinks that he has a certain distance from these three point guards, after all, these are all long-established talents, and they have been well-known in the United States since high school.
"Tiger, Deron Williams is a very strong point guard, not slow, both scoring ability and assist ability are top in the NCAA, and the defense is also above the standard. I think you have to prepare for the worst, they're also fast attackers, not as crazy as us, but... On defensive foot, they certainly do better than UConn. On the plane to Illinois, Sani kept emphasizing to Zhou Zheng that his opponent was tricky.
Zhou Zheng kept nodding, he watched the video of the University of Illinois carefully, he spoke very highly of Deron Williams, he thought that this was the strongest opponent he had encountered, although Raymond Felton tied with him for the three major NCAA point guards, but Zhou Zheng thought that Felton did not deserve to lift Delon shoes.
And Rutherhead, who partners him in the backcourt, is also a super pitcher to be reckoned with, and his tactical position at the University of Illinois is even more important than that of Deron Williams, this guy easily reminds Zhou Zheng of Ben Gordon of the University of Connecticut last year.
"This is really the toughest battle!!"
Zhou Zheng muttered silently in his heart, he was ready to fight against the odds for the upcoming game.
And the outside world's prediction for this game is basically in favor of the University of Illinois as much as it was before the start of the game with the University of Connecticut.
It's just that this time the basketball experts are more confident.
"DERON WILLIALESSS CAN CERTAINLY TEACH STANFORD'S TIGER A PROFOUND LESSON, D-WILL'S STYLE OF PLAY HAS COMPLETELY SUPPRESSED TIGER, AND I CAN'T FIND A REASON FOR THE CRIMSON TEAM TO ESCAPE. It's time for Crimson Storm to stop in Chicago, after all... Red is the Bulls' exclusive color in Chicago. ”
Even DeBron is enough to make Tiger stagger, and this time Stanford will face Illinois, who is the most abundant point guard, and they are not as easy to bully as Connecticut. ”
“…………”
The Stamford Crimson team has become accustomed to the singing of public opinion, and Lyon Bob does not read much outside comments in front of Zhou Zheng.
When the Stanford Crimson arrived in Chicago, Ben Gordon, who has become an NBA player and is one of the centerpieces of the Bulls' rebuild, said in an interview: "I'm going to watch the University of Illinois play against Stanford University. My alma mater was eliminated by them last week, and I got to see them get killed by our Chicago team. ”
Basketball in Illinois is very strong, and as soon as they got off the plane and before they left the airport, the Crimson team was booed by the citizens of Chicago, who clearly did not have a good feeling for the provocative opponent.
In the United States, fans are far more loyal to the NCAA than to NBA teams, after all, college basketball is relatively pure, and professional basketball has too many commercial elements.
