Chapter 58: Arrogance

Soon, the timeout ended and the game resumed.

Rutherhead was pinned down on the bench, and although he kept clamoring for revenge, the head coach of the University of Illinois flatly refused, and in his opinion, playing in Rutherhead's current state would only get worse. That Stanford kid is even worse than he thought, he won't be merciful!

Deron Williams agrees with the manager's decision and wants Rutherhead to be on the bench.

Without Rutherhead for the Three Musketeers, Illinois has a lot less offensive power. Although Devin Brown gave Zhou Zheng a strong confrontation in defense after coming on the court, Zhou Zheng arranged the blocking and dismantling in advance, and with the help of the blocking and dismantling, the confrontation was not so intensive.

As a result, under the crimson storm instigated by Zhou Zheng, Illinois gradually lost the mind to resist, and the score gap continued to widen.

With two minutes remaining, Illinois called a timeout and substituted for a substitute.

They have come to terms with the fact that the 2004-2005 season is over.

At this time, the United Center arena also became empty, and there were only about 2,000 of the more than 16,000 fans left.

Today is a dark day for the University of Illinois and undoubtedly a day of shame for Rutherhead.

When he was at the most brilliant and capable of producing results in his college career, he was kicked off the clouds by Zhou Zheng and fell into the dung pit.

The biggest winner of this game was undoubtedly Zhou Zheng, who scored a double-double for the first time, with 11 points and 19 assists to make him laugh last, although Deron Williams scored 21 points, he only had 6 assists and lost the game.

There is not much direct dialogue between these two top point guards, although there is not much one-on-one matchup between the two in the game. However, after this game, no one dared to pat their chests and say... The NCAA has at least five point guards above Zhou.

Because, just in this game, Deron Williams fell behind.

If Zhou is the biggest winner, then the biggest loser is undoubtedly Rutherhead, his draft market is not particularly clear, and more predictions are to put him at the end of the first round. However, this match brought his shortcomings to light early, and his draft market is likely to fall to the second round...... The difference between the first round and the second round is very big, although the second round may also play results, but the contract in the first round is guaranteed, and the second round... Not many teams will include a second-round rookie in their future plans.

Garbage time was quickly over, and the game was over, with the visiting team Stanford Crimson defeating the University of Illinois 81-64 at home, and they will successfully make it to the Sweet 16, while the season of the University of Illinois with the ace trio is over.

"The University of Illinois played well in this game, but we played better, so we won this game. Zhou Zheng said in an interview with ESPN reporters on the sidelines: "The significance of our game is only that we have refreshed last year's results, this will not be the end, we will continue to move forward." ”

"Deron Williams is a very good point guard, but unfortunately I didn't play against him too much tonight and I hope to have a good chance of playing against him in the future. When Zhou Zheng was asked about his evaluation of Delon Williams, he gave Delon a high evaluation.

"Oh, forget about that. I'm not going to tell anyone what kind of argument I had with Rutherhead on the pitch, just let it stay on the pitch. Zhou Zheng smiled and refused to face the camera, recalling the unpleasantness that happened with Rutherhead on the court.

"I don't know how to answer you about the action of not looking back after the shot, I just thought it should have been done at the time. As for the head over Rutherhead, I don't want to comment on anything too much, just leave it all on the pitch. Zhou Zheng replied very low-key.

He then ended his visit, giving up his spot to Deron Williams, who was waiting for an interview, and shook his hand before leaving.

When Deron Williams was asked what he thought of Zhou Zheng next, he also gave a high evaluation: "He is a very pure point guard, and his athleticism is underrated by everyone. We were killed by him tonight and I think he can go to a higher level and I hope to play him again in the NBA. ”

Soon after Zhou Zheng left the camera, Klaus led his senior scouting team to find him, and then took the initiative to introduce himself to Zhou Zheng: "Hello, I'm Klaus, the general manager of the Chicago Bulls. ”

"Hello. Zhou Zheng kept a polite smile.

"Will you be in the '05 draft?" Klaus asked.

"Yes. Zhou Zheng nodded, and for the first time he gave an affirmative answer to the question, because he thought it was a private meeting.

"So, welcome to the Chicago Bulls!" Klaus held out his hand to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded, he looked at Klaus in confusion.

The scout on the side hurriedly said: "Our general manager will do whatever it takes to get you to join the Chicago Bulls, this is the promise he gave you, the real promise." ”

"Uh..." Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook Klaus's hand amicably.

To be honest, he didn't like Klaus's arrogant attitude, and he felt as if he was selling himself in a green building. But from a practical point of view, the draft players are indeed in such a situation, unless they are particularly outstanding and can lock in the champion in advance, otherwise they are similar to the Qinglou women, and no one knows which team will be lucky on the night of the draft day, and which team will be sold. In the NBA, a commercial league, a player's contract is actually a commodity.

Klaus had not learned to read minds, he thought that Zhou Zheng's astonishment was because he was too excited to get his promise, so he patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder vigorously: "Young man, keep working hard!"

Then he laughed and walked away with his senior scouting team.

Zhou Zheng inexplicably felt as if he had been molested, and this feeling was not good at all.

At this time, Klaus was still caught in his inexplicable domineering atmosphere, he thought that Zhou Zheng, a young man, would definitely be so excited and excited that he couldn't sleep all night, because of his blue eyes...... It's a good feeling to decide someone else's fate with one sentence.

However, what he didn't know was that Zhou Zheng had already received a first-round round commitment from the Lakers back last season. And at the beginning of this year's season, it was guaranteed that the Suns would do whatever it took to win themselves.

Therefore, for Zhou Zheng, he doesn't care at all. Lao Tzu has a team pursuit, what kind of uncle are you coming to me? Is it just to show your sense of superiority?

Chicagoans are so arrogant.

Zhou Zheng shook his head and turned back to the locker room.

That night, the Crimson flew back to California.

And Rutherhead is still babbling at reporters, how bad Zhou is, and he also vividly describes Zhou Zheng's adultery with the head coach: "The action he shook me down was completely for the sake of that woman, they can't have no intimacy, I can guarantee it." ”

His accusations are basically difficult to get into the mainstream media, because people don't want to be so shady, and they don't want to get into trouble...... Isn't publishing such unfounded news waiting to receive a court flyer?

Of course, as a grapevine, this matter will be mentioned countless times, because humans always like to hunt for curiosities.

And it is worth mentioning that Zhou Zheng's three-point goal of knocking down Rutherhead was selected as one of the top ten NBA goals that day, and ranked first, and it was repeatedly broadcast by major sports TV stations, because this goal was so wonderful and very dramatic!
