"Hello, I'm Tiger. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Zheng politely held his hand with both hands.

He was very respectful, but he didn't really know anything about West, but after listening to Kobe Bryant, he was already sure that this was a basketball god.

"I watched your tape back in March last year, when I was the general manager of the Lakers. Jerry West said slightly embarrassed, "But at the time, I didn't think you were going to be able to adapt to the NBA-level confrontation, so I put it on hold." It wasn't until later, when Mitch took charge of the Lakers, that the plan was reactivated. But... Apparently it was already too late. In this year's draft, we finally lost you. ”

Zhou Zheng didn't know how to answer Jerry West's words at all, and he couldn't tell him that I was ready to wear a purple and gold robe at that time, right?

Zhou Zheng has never been a person who likes hindsight.

"I talked to Elgin about you the other day, and he told me that the Clippers were desperate to get you. But all trading options were completely rejected. Jerry West continued: "The spit that came out of Klaus's mouth is not difficult to analyze, and they have also made an offer to the Trail Blazers. I think the hustle and whistle of our teams strengthened the Portlanders' resolve and they decided to take a gamble on their own. As a result, the current situation has been created. It's a really frustrating thing. ”

Jerry West sighed, although he is no longer the general manager of the Lakers, he still regards the Lakers' affairs as his own, after all, he has been branded with the Lakers logo since he was 22 years old, and he can't clean it up in this life.

After a regretful sigh, Jerry West continued: "I just watched your shot, there is no problem with your posture, and the shot is soft, but the logic of the power is quite puzzling. Why do you always get used to your body collapsing first, or even tightening your wrist before shooting?"

Jerry West is an expert, and he can see at a glance the crux of Zhou's shooting problem... In fact, it is a matter of force logic.

"I don't know why. Zhou Zheng said helplessly: "It seems to have been like this from the beginning." ”

"Practice more, mandatory practice, so that the correct force becomes a habit and a subconscious conditioned reflex. Jerry West said seriously: "There is no way to take advantage of the shooting, only continuous training can make it sharper." ”

"Judging from the shape of your hands, your posture, and your feel, you actually have a talent for shooting, but... Correction is a long and arduous process, and hopefully you will be able to grit your teeth and hold on. ”

"When you have accurate shooting, you're going to have a lot more control over the game, and it's going to make you an All-Star or even an ace. ”

Jerry West is earnest and hard-working.

"Thank you. Zhou Zheng expressed his gratitude very sincerely: "I will work hard." ”

"In two days, I'll ask Kobe Bryant to hand you a shooting video, and you have to figure it out and study it by heart. Jerry West's tone reminded Zhou Zheng of his elementary school homeroom teacher.

He was impressed.

But he was a little confused, and he mustered up the courage to ask Jerry West, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"Hahahaha. Jerry West laughs heartily: "It's a funny question, but the answer is simple. The first reason is that I'm bullish on you, I think you have the potential in terms of shooting and you deserve a proper guide. ”

"The second reason is a little more utilitarian. If you want to mix well in the NBA, connections are very important. The reason why I have always been able to get high offers and do tricky things easily in this business alliance is because I have accumulated enough contacts. It's like I've helped you now, I've had a good interaction, and maybe one day, you're going to help me out with something. ”

Jerry West was very frank.

He didn't hide anything.

After being open and honest, the communication is smoother, and Zhou Zheng likes to deal with people who understand.

After chatting happily for a while, Zhou Zheng went back to the half of the team to participate in the team's tactical drills.

As he came into contact with him, the more he liked Zhou Zheng the more he came. Zhou Zheng's talent at the point guard position is too high, any tactics are plug and play, you just need to tell him what you want, and he can immediately practice the tactics for you.

This ability to read the game amazed him, and he felt that even if Zhou Zheng didn't play now, it would not be a problem to find a coaching school to train an assistant coach for half a year to be an NBA team.

Zhou Zheng plugs and plays, Telfair, Stephen Blake and Jarrick Jack have no place at all, and Dixon is relatively better, although he is nominally a point guard, but in fact he does all the work of a shooting guard. Although he didn't do a good job, his position and playing time were stable.

"Coach, is tonight's starter Tiger?" Telfer found McMillan directly after the tactical drill, and said frankly: "So, did he sit in the starting position in the first regular season game of his career?"

He was very jealous of Zhou Zheng's speed in ascending...... I didn't play the summer league, I only played one game in the preseason, and I spent all my time singing, and I was able to start the first game.

"It's not fair!"

Telfer said vigorously.

"It's not a question of fairness or unfairness, it's a matter of fitting and not being a good thing. McMillan said that if he was asked to make a choice between Zhou Zheng and Telfair, he would certainly be on the side of Little Tiger: "Putting Tiger in the starting line-up will help the team more. ”

"I'm not convinced, I'm stronger than him. I can blow him up anytime, anywhere. Telfer said unruly.

McMillan shook his head, he couldn't communicate with Telfair, who was singled out without saying a word, and simply told him bluntly: "The matter about Tiger's starting has been decided, you can work hard to adjust." ”

McMillan forcefully put the words down.

Then walked to Zhou Zheng's side and discussed with him the precautions for the next game.

In Telfair's view, this kind of behavior is too unfair and too favoritism.

"We don't even have the same status as Tiger in the manager's mind. Jarek Jack sighed leisurely: "Alas!"

His words sparked strong agreement from Telfer.

"We can't sit still. Telfil soon formed an alliance with Jarek Jack: "We have to do something. ”

At half past seven in the evening, the Stamp Arena was full of people.

Zhou Zheng was cheered by the audience when he played, and when the cry of tiger!tiger!tiger sounded, Zhou Zheng seemed to be back to the night of the NCAA Finals half a year ago.

He waved vigorously to the fans around him, and he saw a lot of handwritten cardboard cards in the crowd...... 'Welcome home!' 'You are the king of Stanford forever!' 'Mop' and '......'.

For California fans, no matter which professional team Zhou Zheng goes to, he has always been the pride of California basketball and has always been a superstar who single-handedly led Stanford to win the NCAA championship.

In the link where the players of both sides shook hands with each other, Zhou Zheng saw the pride of another California basketball player... Jordan Farmal.

He became the Lakers' starting point guard tonight. I don't know if he took the initiative to ask for help, or if it was Phil Jackson's special arrangement. In his first official NBA game, Zhou Zheng once again faced his opponent who played his first NCAA game, and coincidentally, the two games were held in the same arena.

"I've got a year more NBA experience than you, and I'm going to torture you with that experience tonight. Jordan Farmar left an unfriendly voice next to Zhou Zheng's ear.

"You're still as naïve as ever. Zhou Zheng responded with a smile: "I always like fantasy." ”
