When the T-NT staff asked Zhou Zheng for an interview, Zhou Zheng was slightly surprised, he had never given a TV interview during the pre-match warm-up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But he still put down the basketball and walked over, and he had a good impression of T-NT because the station didn't blindly hack itself like ESPN.

"Hey, hello. After Zhou Zheng passed, he greeted them very warmly, and then waved to the camera with a familiar hand: "T-NT TV viewers and friends, welcome to watch tonight's game, I am Tiger, please be sure to cheer for me in front of the TV!"

"Look, the camera sense of the stars in the entertainment industry is different. Charles Barkley complained with a smile next to him.

"Let's talk about tonight's game, Tiger. Earl Johnson controlled the pace of the interview: "We just interviewed Houston's head coach and their power forward, and they said a lot of 'bad things' about you. ”

"As a person in the entertainment industry, I don't want to show an angry expression now, like this. ”

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and made an angry expression, as if he was about to roll up his sleeves and fight the provocateur: "What did they say?"

Charles Barkley on the side smiled and leaned back. "Well, Tiger, I've been completely defeated by you, your spirit of entertainment is incredible. ”

Earl Johnson was also amused, and he knew that this was Zhou Zheng's way of avoiding it.

But as the host, he continued the conversation from before: "Coach Van Gundy said it would put you in a more powerful shrinking defense than the Spurs, and he also emphasized that Houston didn't have a runway for the Portland Flying Team to take off. Stromeyer, for his part, declared that he was going to give you a couple of vicious blocks, and he also said that he was going to slam the heads of each of your players......"

Zhou Zheng put away the emotions on his face, and said, "There are a lot of questions, and my answers are a bit long." So, I'm going to answer slowly over the next three hours. ”

……

At 7 p.m. Western time, the Toyota Center Arena was full of people and momentum.

The match drew a full house of fans, a large portion of whom were of Chinese descent. They came here to see the Chinese derby. So when Zhou Zheng appeared, there were even a lot of cheers at the scene.

"Tiger, don't put pressure on yourself, relax and play, shoot when you have the chance, don't worry about the shooting percentage. McMillan was still encouraging Zhou Zheng before the game started: "They are the ones who have more pressure to win or lose." ”

Zhou Zheng kept nodding.

When he came on the court, Zach Randolph stretched out his fist and bumped into Zhou Zheng, and everything was silent.

Drip!

With the referee's whistle, the old block king Ratliff and Yao Shu jumped at the same time...... Syllable!

The basketball was photographed in the Rockets half, and at this moment, Zhou went out like lightning...... Before Ralph Alston could even understand what was going on, he noticed that Zhou was jumping high in front of his eyes and then grabbed the ball for the first attack.

Alston was a little unable to understand Zhou Zheng's scrambling behavior, in his opinion, who was the first to kick off could not affect the situation of the battle at all.

"Let's test your ball skills!"

Ralph Alston shouted loudly in Zhou Zheng's ear.

As a street ball king, whenever he sees a defender who is gorgeous in ball control and good at shaking opponents, he can't help but want to compete with opponents.

However, Zhou Zheng didn't want to get himself into a battle with Alstom. In the field of streetball, Zhou Zheng respects Alston very much, but in the NBA, to be honest, Zhou Zheng really doesn't take him seriously.

Syllable!

Zhou Zheng shook Alstom away with a swift front crossover...... The streetball king's poor lateral movement simply couldn't stop Zhou Zheng's footsteps.

After Zhou killed Alston's defense like lightning, he quickly cut into the three-point line, and David Wesley immediately made up for it, and he was short and strong with excellent sense of filling, and he stepped on Zhou Zheng's breakthrough path almost in one step.

However... Things work themselves out.

Shout!

At the moment when Zhou Zheng was about to collide with him, he quickly turned around and left the former wasp ace behind. Then he continued deeper into the penalty area, and Juwan Howard blocked the paint area, but he didn't dare to help all of them because there was a Randolph behind him...... He had studied the Trailblazers' videotapes, and Zhou's passing was very lethal.

Since Juwan Howard has taken this semi-defensive stance, then... No wonder Zhou Zheng smiled ruthlessly.

Zhou Zheng left his defensive position behind him with just a deft jump, and then jumped towards the basket, and Yao Shu immediately pounced on it to block it...... Just when everyone was excited about the Chinese contest that came from the first goal of the opening game, Zhou Zheng flicked his wrist, and the basketball drilled from Yao Shu's ribs to the depths of the penalty area.

Ratliff received the basketball and immediately dunked with both hands...... In such a position, with such a pass, there is no need to jump at all.

At the time when the Houston fans booed for the old block king's slam dunk.

"You're right, there's really no runway in Houston. Zhou Zheng turned around and responded to Jeff Van Gundy on the bench: "But... We have boosters. ”

Zhou Zheng is very presumptuous.

Jeff Van Gundy was angry: "David, you go take care of this rookie next." ”

The two completed this encounter in a very short period of time.

"Quickly mobilize the radio on the sidelines, I was curious to see what this guy said to Jeff Van Gundy, Jeff looked so angry that I almost thought he was going to jump up and hug Tiger's thigh. ”

Charles Barkley used an allusion on the anchor desk, he was poking fun about Jeff Van Gundy hugging Mourning's thigh at Madison Garden.

Soon, the sound engineer played the conversation between the two.

Kenny Smith, another 'colour' commentator for the Rockets, was immediately a little upset: "It's a clear provocation and the referee should give him a T. ”

"This is not a provocation, Kenny. This is the answer-ball, and before the game Jeff Van Gundy claimed that Houston had no runway and that the Air Force group in Portland couldn't fly. Now Zhou is using an assist to get the aging Ratliff to dunk in the restricted area. It's a very tough slap in the face. ”

Charles Barkley was full of praise: "Tiger is very smart, Houston is an aviation city, and you really don't need a runway to launch a rocket." He used a pun. Annoyed, Jeff Van Gundy can only ask the aging David Wesley to help him regain face. ”

Tracy Maddy hit a precise shot at the top of the three-point line, and he didn't use any feints at all, just pulling up and jumping, completely ignoring Travis Oterlo on the opposite side. It's a crushing talent, Tracy's explosiveness is so amazing, and when he pulls up, you can only move a staircase to defend it. "Earl Johnson, the host in charge of the 'play-by-play,' commented on what was happening on the pitch in real time.

At this time, Kenny Smith continued the discussion of the previous round: "Anyway, it is a self-defeating thing for a rookie player to openly provoke the opposing head coach, wait and see, the strong David Wesley will definitely drag this kid into the defensive swamp." ”

When Kenny Smith swore by it, Zhou was holding the ball through the half.

David Wesley immediately pestered.

Although David Wesley is not tall, he is very strong, and when he was with the Hornets, he once formed the famous Humpty Dumpty League with Byron Davis.

Poof!

David Wesley has been creating physical confrontations, and Zhou Zheng looks a little unsteady under this aggressive defense!

Syllable!

When he reached the three-point line, Zhou Zheng suddenly changed direction so quickly that he thought it would shake Wesley's defense off the ground...... However, David West actually used a quick slide to maintain his defensive stance...... His lateral movement ability is at least a hundred levels higher than that of Ralph Alstom.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was caught in the defense, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines subconsciously touched his chin, and he was very satisfied with David West's performance.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng's body suddenly spun rapidly like a spinning top.

David Wesley was a little confused, but he felt the sound of a wind rushing away from his ears, as if a cannonball was passing by, and he even heard a sonic boom.

Soon, the Toyota Center Arena erupted in screams.

Because the basketball in Zhou Zheng's hand has been passed into the restricted area by him across the half court through heavy defenses in a weird straight line, Ratliff received the basketball and dunked with both hands again...... Zhou Zheng accurately caught the opportunity of Yao Shu's defense for three seconds, and passed the basketball to the depths of the penalty area in the form of a no-look-pass.

"The Spurs were champions last year. Zhou Zheng turned his head to the side again and shouted to Jeff Van Gundy: "You and Popovich are five hundred Stotts different in defensive skills. ”

Jeff Van Gundy was ridiculed again, his face was pale, he glared at Juwan Howard hard, he felt that Howard did not appear in the defensive position where he should be, and actually let the hateful rookie pass the basketball straight from the top of the three-point line into the restricted area...... This is even more unforgivable than letting the opponent drive straight into the box.

Because, this is a humiliation of the entire defensive system!

At the same time, before Barkley on the anchor desk could speak, the recording engineer took the initiative to play the live radio.

When Zhou Zheng's voice came, Charles Barkley immediately slapped the table excitedly and shouted: "Tiger is a trash talk, I have to give 100 points." Not only did he respond to Jeff Van Gundy's pre-game emphasis on shrinking defense, but he also bundled Stotts and Van Gundy to release taunts...... Enough to be selected as one of the top 10 trash talk of the year. ”

"Don't mess with the top students, their mouths are poisonous and they can spit out more ferocious kills than black mamba venom at any time. ”

Charles Barkley emphasized.
