Zhou Zheng spent only two days in South Korea before heading to Hong Kong, Taiwan and then back to Shanghai. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The itinerary is very tight.

Adidas originally wanted to take advantage of the huge influence of the World Championships medal to do some domestic promotional activities, but finally gave up this plan after careful discussion.

With the popularity of the week and the day, any live event is a huge test of security. No one wants an accident, and sneaker sales have skyrocketed to an incredible level.

"It's a real amount of spending power. ”

During this time, Merkel was always full of pride: "We have finally reached a turning point in history after missing Michael Jordan and LeBron James, and we have become the brand with the highest sales share in Asia." ”

Lin Wanwan took advantage of the situation to accept the endorsement of Lenovo Computer and China Mobile for Zhou Zheng...... The two companies gave an irresistible price, and Zhou Zheng's empty account finally had an eight-figure receipt.

"Money is such a good thing. ”

Zhou was on a charter flight back to the United States, and his mood was a little fluttering...... Finally, there is no need to transfer in South Korea.

"The training camps for the NBA teams are about to start, are you ready?" Merkel told Zhou: "Your second signature shoe will be available before Christmas, and before that, you have to have at least one masterpiece." ”

Zhou Zheng arrived in Los Angeles on September 19.

He didn't make such a big deal that Americans thought that Zhou Zheng was still in Asia.

After Zhou Zheng returned to the United States, it was as if the world had evaporated, and there was not a single word about him on TV or in the newspapers.

The calm situation continued until the end of September. One Lakers fan captured Zhou dragging a truck tire on the beach for a sprint run around five o'clock in the morning, along with Kobe Bryant.

After this photo circulated on the Internet, it immediately sparked a collective heated discussion among basketball fans.

The NBA's offseason is the long grass period for fans, and the only topics left for them are star gossip, transfer clouds, or comparisons between the past and the present.

"Thirty per cent is a bit of a hit, but his training attitude has always been commendable. ”

"Tiger won't be in the same comfortable situation next season as last season, and he'll have to take the time to improve himself, especially on the field average. ”

"It's not like Kobe Bryant has a transcendent position with the Lakers. The Tiger didn't completely sit at the heart of Portland, Zach Randolph has returned from injury, and the two rookies they have selected this year are also very promising, especially the No. 6 pick Brandon Roy, who has been publicly stated by new general manager Pritchard more than once as Portland's hope for a revival. ”

"There are a lot of players in history who have debuted at the top of their game, and the last star player who left Portland, Damon Stoudemire, is one of them, and Tiger is really going to have to work hard. ”

“…………”

In the remarks on the Internet, there is no strong optimism about Zhou Zheng's second season.

After all, this is the United States. American fans don't see Zhou Zheng as a savior like Chinese fans, because there are too many quasi-stars of Zhou Zheng's level on the American side. Their emotional projection is so diverse that even Kobe Bryant can't get one-sided support.

"Tiger's concert in Auckland was a huge success, grossing over $20 million at the box office. This is his first concert in the true sense, and many fans have come from afar, and in the case of little publicity, achieving such a result shows that his appeal is already the first among the new generation of singers. ”

That night, another newcomer singer, Rihanna, appeared on stage as his backup singer, and the two collaborated on the song "Shake-It-Off" written by Zhou Zheng to Avril, which was an unprecedented success. It's just that why didn't Avril help herself? Could it be that there is a crack in the relationship between the most well-known siblings in the entertainment industry?"

Lindsay Lohan was there that night, dyed her hair half black and half red. No one knows what she's trying to express, she's getting weirder lately, and there are even rumors that she's turned into a gay-sexual, and last week there was even gossip that caught her kissing with her female partner on the beach. ”

Tiger announced at the concert that it would be his last concert before the end of the 06-07 season. At the same time, he also expressed the idea of focusing on basketball. Under Rihanna's questioning, he even revealed that he is now single, and he also said that he doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore. He said that he would only date girls who were willing to enter the marriage hall with him. The twenty-year-old openly stated that he was pessimistic about love......"

Syllable!

Lin Wanwan turned off the TV, she looked at Zhou Zheng next to her, Zhou Zheng was lying on the sofa, motionless, and fell asleep.

The weather in Portland is slowly getting cooler.

She walked over and covered him with a blanket.

In the past 20 days since returning to the United States, she has witnessed Zhou Zheng's collapse and strength.

The day after arriving in Los Angeles, she found Zhou Zheng huddled in the corner of the living room, clenching her teeth and not saying a word, and when she walked over to give her a hug, she felt the fragile teardrops from this big hero and big winner in the eyes of the world.

"Once again, I was dumped for no reason. ”

Zhou Zheng told Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan just reached out and patted him on the shoulder, she wanted to say something, but in the end she endured it in her heart.

Day 3.

She saw Zhou yelling at Avril on the other end of the phone, and for the first time he used strong words against Lavigne, telling Avril not to arrange his love affair and stop treating him like a three-year-old.

The two parted a little unhappily.

In the end, Avril did not appear on the stage of the first concert as originally planned, and Rihanna, who had the same birthday as Zhou Zheng, replaced her. She and Scarlett Johansson sat in the VIP seats in the front row and watched the whole show. At the celebration reception after the concert, the two didn't communicate much, they were both in a state of negative energy, and they both thought they were right.

During that time in California, in addition to practicing singing every day, Zhou Zheng spent most of his time on personal training with Kobe Bryant.

These trainings have helped his body to stabilize the strength and fitness improvements he has achieved at the World Championships, and the dimension of his muscles has also increased by a lap.

Kobe Bryant affirmed Zhou Zheng's progress after a heads-up game, and said exaggeratedly: "The increase in your physical fitness is amazing, your current confrontation ability has almost reached the average level of outside players, coupled with speed and ball control, those who try to crush you with their bodies are about to suffer the consequences." ”

Kobe Bryant not only affirmed Zhou Zheng's increased physical confrontation ability, but also reminded Zhou Zheng's straight-arm shooting: "Your shooting is very slow, in the NBA, defenders don't give you so much time to prepare for straight-arm shooting." You'll have to increase your shooting speed, or you'll be able to shoot down quickly when it matters most. ”

Kobe Bryant tried to teach Zhou Zheng some backward jumper skills, however, although Zhou Zheng was able to comprehend the movement essentials he taught, the shooting percentage was extremely unguaranteed.

In the end, Kobe Bryant shook his head helplessly: "You should continue your straight-arm shooting for the time being." ”

……

The Portland Trail Blazers' training camp for the new season officially kicks off on October 6, and the press conference day is also scheduled for this day.

When Zhou Zheng arrived at the team's training hall, he stood in the middle of the billboard hanging high, and the two people standing next to him were Zach Randolph and Brandon Roy.

Regarding Brandon Roy, a rookie, was ranked in the 3rd position, Zhou Zheng was very surprised. In his opinion, it should have been Ratliff or Margoloyle, and it made sense that Darius Miles was standing there. But... Brandon Roy, he's a rookie, isn't he too high-profile?

Zhou Zheng didn't understand what management meant.

When he arrived at the locker room of the training hall, he looked at his teammates who were fat in the belly, and his heart was very cordial, hugging them one by one, the new season is coming, and it is time to fight side by side.

"Tiger, this year's rookie is menacing. Darius Myers leaned into Zhou Zheng's ear and said, "Pritchard has already declared that he is Kobe Bryant of Portland." ”

"I'm going to teach him a lesson. Miles said evilly.

Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly, playing rookie is the NBA's locker room culture. He had no intention of challenging the culture, so he just said, "Don't go overboard." ”

After changing into the jersey and walking outside, the staff came over to greet Zhou Zheng very warmly, and Zhou Zheng was always able to call out the name of each of them. This made the staff feel very friendly, not all the players would communicate with them so friendly, and more players treated them as miscellaneous subordinates, and it was harder to get a little respect from them than to climb to the sky...... Or tiger is better, this is the consensus of the pioneers employees.

"See you again, Tiger. ”

Brandon Roy walked over and hugged Zhou Zheng.

The two have known each other for a long time, and they both belonged to the PAC-12 league when they were in college, and they have to play several games a year. It's just that at that time, Brandon Roy was already an NCAA star, and Zhou only became famous after reaching the round of 64. Now, however, it can be said that it is completely reversed. Zhou Zheng is thriving in the NBA and has even become the leader of the Trail Blazers. Brandon Roy, on the other hand, needed to start all over again and start his career as a rookie.

"You've got to cover me. Brandon Roy said with a smile.

"You should go and tell Zach or Ratleaf that they're the old guys in the locker room. Zhou Zheng shrugged his shoulders and deliberately scared Roy: "Anyway, I won't instruct you to buy hamburgers in the middle of the night, nor will I let you carry a training bag, let alone stuff your car with popcorn." ”

The two were chatting enthusiastically here.

There was a solemn atmosphere in Pritchard's office.

"I don't agree with you. McMillan told Pritchard in a very tough way: "Unless you fire me, I can't agree to your plan." ”

"I'm not going to carry out your so-called plan. I know there's a chance that Greg Oden will be drafted next season, and I know he can be a dominant center. But...... That's not a reason for us to be belly briskes year after year, and I can't give an account to the dressing room. ”

When McMillan was called into Pritchard's office, he thought he would talk to the general manager about his ambitions for the new season. As a result, Pritchard's first instruction turned out to be to go all out to cultivate Brandon Roy, cultivate him like he did with Zhou Zheng last year, and play a bad role while training him, and actively plan for next year's draft to get Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.

This is the first day of the training camp.

"You have to take a long-term view...... "Pritchard tried to move with emotion and reason.

McMillan stood up directly: "There is no need to talk about this issue. My goal is to get the team into the playoffs, and if you need to mess up, then find a coach who is willing to take over my job. ”

With that, he walked out of the office.
