Chapter Seventy-Five: Impossible (The First Monthly Pass)
Because of the arrival of the Chinese derby, Houston has poured into a large number of Chinese reporters, and for Chinese basketball, this is a game that deserves to be recorded in history...... After all, this is the first Chinese derby in the true sense of the NBA. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Forget it." When Yao Shu asked the reporter if he had any experience to teach this junior, he joked: "He is much more famous in the United States than me, and before entering the NBA, he was already a household name." He has a much better mass base here than I do... Kids wearing his jersey can often be seen on the streets of Houston. ”
"To be honest, I don't know much about him." Yao Shu revealed a secret in the interview: "I haven't played against him until now, but I've seen his videos, and he's a very good point guard. Originally, we had the opportunity to be on the same team in this year's Asian Championships, but I proposed to the basketball center to take a rotation. ”
"The basketball center is very considerate of the long schedule of NBA players, and they agreed to my suggestion, and Zhou Zheng also said that he can lead the team alone in next year's World Championships." Yao Shu said with a sense of relief: "I am very grateful to him, I can finally have a real offseason. ”
Yao Shu's relieved reporters all know that Da Yao has been working almost all year round these years, in addition to playing in the NBA, he will participate in the national team's events every summer, and the tight schedule of going back and forth is undoubtedly a burden on his huge body. Now, Chinese basketball has finally produced another NBA player who can carry the team, and it is time for him to rest for a while.
In addition to Yao Shu, the Rockets who are playing at home are surrounded by various Chinese reporters, and Tracy Maddy, the core of the outside line, has also been interviewed repeatedly.
Tracy Maddie praised Mr. Zhou with a smile on his face during the interview, knowing his current business clout in China, and he didn't want to make any mistakes in the Chinese media.
But when asked if there was anything he wanted to teach Zhou Zheng, his smile was a little stiff, and his answer was obviously a little sour.
"I don't really have anything to teach him, everybody knows... He's a much-talked-about star player, his music albums are selling well across the United States, and commercial endorsements are getting soft ...... He is already so successful. ”
It's hard not to think of Adidas' recent advertising campaign, with Zhou Zheng standing in the middle.
It's impossible for Tracy Maddy to have no ideas in his heart, after all, he finally squeezed out Kobe Bryant, but Zhou Zheng picked peaches easily. Not only is the endorsement fee the highest, but his status has surpassed himself in the Adi camp.
If the interview with the two rocket cores is friendly.
Then the starting point guard Raph Alston who joined the Rockets this season seems to be a bit of gunpowder.
"I remember him with his ability to control the ball and he inspires me to be expressive. I'll tell him with my actions... I'm the best street ball king in the NBA. ”
Alstom's remarks got the Chinese media excited, and they were worried that there was no more to talk about to add fuel to the game.
As a result, various reports sent to China are shaping the situation of the peak duel between the two point guards. Ralph Alston is portrayed as the villain who stands in the way of Zhou Zheng.
Just like Andre Bogut before it.
Because of the collapse of the Rose Garden Arena, Zhuang Yuanlang has now become a laughing stock in the mouths of Chinese fans. His arrogant remarks before the game were repeatedly ridiculed and slapped in the face, and even produced a popular golden sentence: Don't be too Bogut.
"Yes, Ralph Alston is the best streetball player in the NBA." Zhou Zheng calmly responded to the 'powder keg' thrown by the reporters, he did not light it, but poured a basin of cold water to cool down: "I have watched his exhibition tour, and his status in the street ball field is very high. ”
"But, he said he'd give a little color." A reporter deliberately stabbed Zhou Zheng like this.
"Hahahaha."
Zhou Zheng laughed heartily, and then there was no follow-up.
The reporter tried to ask a question, but he shook his head and did not answer, and then moved on to other topics.
“…… This game means a lot to me and hopefully it will give the fans a good game. ”
Zhou Zheng ended his pre-match visit with an official decent word.
……
"Tiger, take it easy, I know this game means a lot to you, all the Chinese fans are already sitting in front of the TV." McMillan had been channeling Zhou Zheng's emotions before the game, because he noticed that Zhou Zheng's hands had been shaking: "But at the end of the day, it's just a regular season game. ”
"Coach, I want to win this all-American live game." Zhou Zheng said seriously: "I've had enough of ESPN's cynicism, I have to prove myself with actions." ”
"I'm not an idol player!"
Zhou Zheng's tone was very excited.
McMillan realized that Zhou Zheng's trembling hands were not because of nervousness, but because of a vigorous fire burning in his heart.
"Kid, I'm glad you have such a fighting spirit." McMillan's tone was a little helpless: "But, wait for next season, next season we will definitely equip you with the best helpers." ”
"I don't want to put off until next year what should be done tonight." Zhou Zheng shook his head firmly, he was very stubborn.
McMillan is well aware of Zhou Zheng's soft personality and strong personality: "Then where do you think I can help you?" ”
"I want you to open up my playing time."
When McMillan heard this, he was stunned.
……
By the time the Trail Blazers arrived at the Toyota Center for acclimatization, the Rockets had already arrived at the court.
Zhou Zheng walked over and chatted with Yao Shu for a while, they didn't know each other, in fact, this was the first time the two met.
Both of them were more reserved, so they simply greeted each other for a while, and did not hook their shoulders and call each other brothers and sisters as Chinese fans expected.
After a brief chat, Zhou Zheng returned to the half court for shooting practice.
At this time, the film crew of T-NT entered the stadium, and they set up a simple camera position on the side of the court, set up three stools, and began to record.
These pre-recorded recordings will be prepared before the start of the race.
Then, Jeffstein Van Gundy was invited for an interview.
"Yes, it's one of the few big battles." Jeff Van Gundy is always meticulous, and when questioned by T-NT ace host Earl Johnson, he appears very serious: "But really, gimmick aside, it's not a battle of focus. ”
"I think you can cut it out, it might drop your ratings."
Jeff Van Gundy's words made Earl Johnson and Charles Barkley laugh, thinking Van Gundy had finally learned to joke.
And then.......
"We're going to be going to play against Zhou in the game, and he's going to have a tougher stretch of defense than San Antonio." Jeff Van Gundy did not shy away from revealing his battle plan.
"It's never going to look good, my style is to defend hard, rotate constantly, compress constantly. So...... You're going to be broadcasting a no-brainer game tonight. ”
"Don't be so arbitrary." Charles Barkley on the side said with a smile: "Maybe as soon as the game starts, Tiger will command his air force group to occupy your restricted area." ”
"It's impossible." Jeff Van Gundy couldn't be more confident in his defense: "Houston doesn't have a runway at all. ”
Jeff Van Gundy ended his visit confidently and forcefully.
Earl Johnson felt he was too rigid and didn't like such interview subjects, so he brought in Rockets power forward Stro MyersSwift, a 2000 star who was known for his brainlessness.
They hope to pull something out of the mouth of the big forward with a muscular head to get the audience excited, and if there are not some violent words as a preview before the game, it will be difficult to increase the ratings.
"To be honest, the Chinese derby doesn't matter to me at all, if that kid rushes into the box, I'm still going to give him a vicious block. I don't forget my duty because of the attention of those Chinese journalists. ”
"They're flying brigades? Come on! I'm going to dunk every single one of their players in the head. Whether it's Zach Randolph, or Darius Myers, or that superstar...... Remember my words, yes to each one. ”
"I've got a full tank of gas and I'm going to order at least three top 10 balls!"
"Remember, it's three!"
Stromeyer stretched out two fingers and said very excitedly.
Swift lived up to expectations, doing what Earl Johnson and Charles Barkley expected him to do, and then they had the staff go and ask Zhou.
It's time for the Lord to come and respond.
