Chapter 108: The Enemy of Life (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
ESPN will broadcast the Trail Blazers vs. Hornets game, which they famously played ...... The battle for the best rookie. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They did a lot of warm-up for this game.
After the Houston All-Star Game was released, the game reached a high peak of attention...... The issue of Zhou Zheng's selection as an All-Star has sparked a lot of discussion in basketball circles...... The discussion focused on whether Zhou Zheng deserved to be an All-Star.
Among the many arguments, the majority of those who believe that Zhou Zheng's strength is not worthy of the All-Star title are the majority.
ESPN basically plays the role of a pioneer.
Therefore, when the venue was adapting before the game, Zhou Zheng categorically refused ESPN's visit. He made his attitude strong: "I will not talk to people who maliciously attack me. When did you put away your arrogant posture and come back to me for a visit? ”
Zhou's attitude annoyed ESPN.
When they interviewed Chris Paul, they kept taking out Zhou Zheng and denouncing him, and they hoped to get Chris Paul's support. However, Chris did not do this, he could hear the tone of the reporter, but he knew what kind of person Zhou was.
"Tiger is a very good point guard and I'm looking forward to playing against him. Chris Paul said: "I've always enjoyed playing against him. On the issue of All-Star, it would be unfair to point the finger at him. They didn't break the rules, and the All-Star Game is all about letting fans see their favorite players playing on the court...... Since it was voted by one person, one vote, we must respect the result. ”
The second half of Chris Paul's words were truncated by ESPN.
The game soon began, and the three commentators sitting in the ESPN live broadcast room were... McBlin, Bill Simmons, and Reggie Miller, who just signed with ESPN.
The trio made some predictions before the game, with McBrin and Bill Simmons both predicting a win for the Hornets, while Reggie Miller was more bullish on the Trail Blazers, who he thought Oterlo would have a breakout...... Because the opposite Hornets don't have a defender to rely on on on the front line.
The Hornets' starting lineup tonight is PJ Brown, David West, Desmond Mason, Kirk Schneider and Chris Paul.
On the Trail Blazers' side, due to Myers' suspension, Potsbilla, Ratliff, Capaya, Outlaw and Zhou Zheng formed a new starting lineup...... The height is more than the opponent.
In terms of lineup, the two teams are half a pound, and the Hornets are a little more athletic.
Drip!
After blowing the whistle, smack!
PJ Brown defeated Potzbilla, and Chris Paul took the lead with a basketball in hand.
Zhou Zheng blocked his footsteps outside the three-point line, and Chris was unhurried and commanded his teammates to run.
Suddenly, he took a step forward, Zhou Zheng subconsciously took a step back, Chris Paul had already deceived him...... He's actively seeking a physical confrontation.
Although his height is not as good as Zhou Zheng, but the strength confrontation is his advantage, he led Zhou Zheng all the way forward, Zhou Zheng can only fight and retreat in this situation, seeking opportunities.
Yikes!
Chris suddenly stopped at the free throw line, and Zhou Zheng hurriedly braked, for fear of being caught off guard by Paul.
And at the moment when Zhou Zheng mentioned it, Chris stuffed the basketball to Desmond Mason, who was inserted diagonally on one side, and the dunk king Mason immediately jumped up after receiving the basketball, and his body suddenly folded in the air and stretched out wantonly, and smashed the basketball into the basket in the restricted area!
The gorgeous dunk instantly detonated the passion of the home court...... It's a big scene that every fan wants to see.
Draymond Mason had already raised his hands in the midst of the cheers of the audience, and his arrogant roar and contemptuous eyes kept roaming the Trail Blazers players, as if it were his personal concert.
Zhou Zheng didn't like him very much.
So, after he took the basketball from Kapaya, he gave Oterlo a look.
It's time for him to know what a real dunk is.
"Chris Paul made an unpretentious pass with no showy breakaways. Just rely on the advantage of physical confrontation to break through to the free throw line in the most concise way, and then seize the best moment to pass the basketball to Mason who cuts through the air. It's the best performance of a point guard...... There's no need to deliberately pursue flashiness, be bland, control the rhythm, and then put the basketball in the hands of the most suitable teammate. McBrin gave praise to Chris Paul: "If I had a vote for Rookie of the Year, I would vote for the solid Chris." ”
"Yes, Chris is the point guard. He has no shortcomings in this position, and he never loses his rhythm. Bill Wharton not only praised Chris Paul, but also implicitly satirized Zhou Zheng: "CP3 is not like some players who live in the top five, he never creates gimmicks. ”
Reggie Miller was a newcomer, and he didn't like Bill Wharton's style of playing one by one.
He asked incomprehensibly, "I think you seem to be the champion of the Trail Blazers, why would you be so harsh on the team's juniors?"
"Are you afraid that he will steal your shine in team history?"
Reggie Miller joked.
Bill Wharton was very serious: "Reggie, I'm sorry you actually compare this kid to me." I'm one of the top 50 stars in the league, and my accolades can drown him up. If I were a shark in the sea, he would be a flounder at most...... For viewing purposes only. ”
Reggie Miller raised an eyebrow, and he had no intention of going toe-to-toe with Reggie Miller on this issue...... For him, it doesn't matter whether it's a shark or a flounder.
He put his eyes on the big screen in front of him, and Zhou Zheng just happened to hold the ball outside the three-point line.
"How will Chow answer to Chris's assist, will he jump shot, or assist, or will he go into the box and cause damage?"
McBrin spoke to the hearts of all TV viewers.
Everyone knows that Zhou Zheng and Chris Paul are lifelong enemies, and everyone is looking forward to their first NBA conversation...... Chris has already shown his assist skills in the first round, and now it's Zhou Zheng's turn to fight back.
Zhou Zheng stayed outside the three-point line for a while, waiting for the players to disperse.
He bent down.
Smack!
The basketball changed direction sharply in front of Chris's eyes, jumping like lightning.
"Look, that's the biggest difference between an idol player and a power player......"
Before Bill Wharton's complaining could be heard, Zhou Zheng started the offensive like lightning, and he took the first step with great explosiveness like a cheetah, and his feet stepped on the weakest left side of Chris Paul's defense.
In an instant, Paul's defense became very passive. He knew Zhou Zheng very well, and he knew that if he retreated... Then Zhou Zheng will kill himself with a change of direction or a turning motion. And if he doesn't retreat, Zhou Zheng will forcibly crush him.
It's a question of which way to choose.
Between the lights and the fire, Chris Paul chose decency.
He took a step back while leaving his hand on his right side...... As the top steal leader, this is the only counterattack he can make.
However... The moment he reached out to block to the right... Shout!
The basketball rushed away from his left side, and before he could react, the figure in front of him flickered, and Zhou Zheng turned around and galloped past him like a whirlwind...... Damn, it's a man-ball again!
Chris Paul understood too late that he didn't even have time to foul.
"Look, this is an idol player, always fighting for the position as the first element......"
Bill Wharton is still commenting on Xi's ramblings.
Soon, however, he was dumbfounded and unable to speak.
Zhou Zheng made a lightning blast into the paint after the ball at the top of the arc split through Chris Paul's defense. Draymond Mason quickly came over to make up for it...... Before the game, he had been emphasizing that he was experienced in defending Chinese players...... Back then, Yao Shu was overturned on the court by him with a wrestling action.
Now, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Zheng, and he was ready to flip Zhou Zheng on the court as well.
Suddenly, Zhou Zheng shook in front of his eyes, he thought that Zhou was about to change direction, and quickly took steps to prepare to fill the position!
"Be careful!"
Chris Paul's warning is long overdue.
The moment he took a step...... Bang!
He heard a dull thud from under his crotch, and a cool breeze!
Crotch?
Mason raised his head in shock, Zhou Zheng looked at him with a smile, and then moved his eyes up, Oterlo, who grabbed the basketball, had soared into the sky, he was in the air in the air, his body was completely stretched in the air, and the basketball was changed from his crotch to his left hand, after making a pull rod action in the air...... Rumble!
His left hand smashed the basketball into the hoop!
It's a very beautiful dunk move, and it's usually only seen in a slam dunk contest.
Yikes!
When Outlaw hit the ground, there was silence in the arena. This is in stark contrast to the passion of Mason's previous dunks...... The New Orleans fans were stunned one by one, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on the climax, and the bottom instantly softened and automatically slid out.
