"Building a personal brand is a constant process of labeling, first you have to have a nickname, all the NBA stars who have become famous have their own nickname, but you don't. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When Lin Wanwan went to train in front of Zhou Zheng, he told him: "I have already helped you think of a Chinese nickname, called Xiaoyao Wang." ”

"King Xiaoyao?" Zhou Zheng's brows furrowed: "Isn't this nickname a bit too much... It's free. ”

"There is also a prefix, a sword from the west to the king of escape. Lin Wanwan said calmly, she didn't plan to discuss this issue with Zhou Zheng, she had already made a decision: "Now that your English nickname has not been decided, I will discuss it with your most important sponsor Adidas, you can also think for yourself, we will refer to your proposal to a certain extent." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, he was sure that he must choose a perfect nickname, and it definitely couldn't be more vulgar than a name like King Xiaoyao.

Before leaving, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Why is my name in China Xiaoyao Wang?

"Don't you think your style of play is very carefree?" Lin Wanwan asked rhetorically.

"The passing is also elusive, and the Trail Blazers are in the west, so it's only fitting to call it a sword west. ”

Zhou Zheng was speechless, he turned around and went to the training hall, thinking about it all the way...... A sword from the west? King Yao, what the hell? Make martial arts movies.

But when he thought about it, it seemed to be much stronger than the nicknames of NBA stars in China, what big sharks, wolf kings, UFOs are indeed not as good as the king of freedom, and it seems that a sword from the west... It's nice to listen to.

Zhou Zheng practiced shooting in the training gym for a day, and his pull-up jump shot was getting closer and closer to Iverson, but the shooting percentage was good and bad for a while, after all, he had not yet formed his muscle memory.

"Tiger, if you go on like this, you're definitely going to be a convulsive player. After being knocked out by Zhou Zheng on five consecutive pull-up jump shots in a heads-up, Outlaw muttered aggrievedly.

"I hope so. Zhou Zheng said with a smile, for him, it is much better to have a convulsion than a constant iron.

Soon, Utah Jazz met Zhou Zheng, who had a convulsion.

In the Rose Garden, Zhou Zheng killed the visiting Deron Williams with a shooting rate of 14 of 27, and Zhou Zheng, who had 38 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, exploded the Tanhualang Williams.

Deron Williams is still in the process of a long system integration, and he has not yet emasculated his personality, so he didn't play much minutes, and in the end he only handed in 9 points and 5 assists.

In his post-match interview, there was a palpable look of envy on his face: "I'm happy for Tiger, he's now the owner of Rose Garden, and Coach McMillan has given him unlimited firing rights......

Anyone could hear what he meant. When the reporter used his words to provoke Coach Jerry Sloan, the elder Sloan did not shy away from saying: "Some players are suitable for a free system, some players are suitable for a conservative style of play, and there is no difference between the two." Once DeLong is integrated into the pick-and-roll strategy, he will quickly achieve corner overtaking. In my opinion, Deron can reach more heights in the future than Portland's No. 10 player. ”

Although Coach Sloan was reluctant to provoke a war of words, the war of words was mobilized because of him.

Before the draft, the dispute between the four point guards was a hot topic in the class of '05.

Now, in terms of data, Zhou Zheng is leading the way... He is averaging 23.8 points per game, which ranks in the top 20 in the league. Although the assists dropped to 10.3, it was still the highest among rookies.

In second place in terms of statistics is Chris Paul, with 17.9 points, 8.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals, which makes him not fall behind in the competition for Zhou Zheng's best rookie...... His shooting percentage of more than 42 percent is 10 percentage points higher than Zhou's.

Deron Williams, who was higher in the overall pick, has fallen out of the team, with just 11.4 points and 6.5 assists so far.

Although it is very good for the rookie to be able to come up with such data, compared to the two monsters in front of him, there is no doubt that the star is much dimmer. Of course, he's not entirely without bright spots, as the Utah Jazz have the best record of the three, and they're now seventh in the West. The Trail Blazers are ninth in the West, and the Hornets are 11th in the West.

In 14th place in the West is the Charlotte Bobcats where Raymond Felton is located. Now, apart from himself and some of the Charlotte media, no one has put him on a par with the other three, and the stats of 9.4 points and 4.6 assists are the starting points for a team like the Bobcats...... And the public is generally not optimistic about his future, believing that his potential has been almost released, and he may only reach the level of qualified starters in his career.

In the comments of the sports circle, Chris Paul was identified as the first point guard in the rookie, and Zhou Zheng was able to take second place in certain situations...... Although Deron Williams' data is only half of Zhou Zheng's, those basketball experts are optimistic about his future and think that Zhou Zheng is just playing in a more tolerant environment. There are even many arguments that the pioneers completely gave up their achievements in order to cultivate Zhou Zheng.

But in fact, the Trail Blazers have a better record than the Hornets, and with Randolph's injury, Zhou Zheng's teammates are not much better than the Hornets. However, the sports media just favors homegrown point guards.

After Lin Wanwan accepted Zhou Zheng's position as the commercial plenipotentiary, he gradually exerted his strength. She began to cooperate with those entertainment media, asking them to brag a little bit about Zhou Zheng's strength in the basketball world in the report, anyway, Zhou Zheng grabbed a lot of dry goods.

Under this conscious PR, the entertainment media cooperated with such promotional behavior...... Entertainment media prefer god-making to sports media, and they are willing to elevate the characters they cover to make them more appealing to audiences.

Under this subtle understanding, Zhou Zheng began to harvest a lot of passers-by... That is, fans other than traditional sports fans.

"It's called the countryside surrounding the city. Lin Wanwan always maintained an iceberg-like expression, even though Zhou was inviting her to eat hot pot.

"Those white-collar workers don't think they're rural. Zhou Zheng complained angrily.

Lin Wanwan ignored the complaint.

As a Sichuanese, she has very high requirements for hot pot: "Even if you don't have a nine-square grid, you should put a little peppercorn, which is the least respect for hot pot." ”

She's serious.

Zhou Zheng chuckled, and finally found a 'human smell' from her.

Lin Wanwan glanced at Zhou Zheng, his eyes were indifferent and disgusted: "Guawa'er." ”

Zhou Zheng was scolded, but he was not angry, he found that the iceberg goddess in front of him could still be rescued a little: "Let me tell you a joke." ”

"Thank you. ”

Lin Wanwan refused.

Zhou Zheng touched his nose, but fortunately Garcia next to him couldn't understand it, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

"Next game, your opponent is the Charlotte Hornets. The voting list for the NBA All-Star Game will also be released after the next game, and if nothing else, you'll be among them. When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of criticism, and Chris Paul is your 'enemy for life', so you have to play to suppress him, preferably with a win. ”

"Adidas will promote you and build momentum for you, and the popularity in Asia will make you an All-Star starter, and we have some discussions with NBA officials, and they basically agreed with my plan......"

Zhou Zheng hurriedly asked, "What plan?"

"It's a trade secret. ”

Zhou Zheng gave her an angry look... I'm the party.
