"Tiger, you know what? Your music has been praised by more than 80 percent of the critics, and many of the old guys have even sworn that this is an epoch-making avant-garde album and that you will definitely leave a strong mark on the history of pop music. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Listen to me, stop playing basketball. I watched ESPN, and no matter how good you are, they will still slander you because of your skin color. Join the music industry, there's not so much messy discrimination here. ”

"Universal Music told me that your album will surpass 400,000 copies in its first week, more than double what I expected. This is the best sales figure for a new artist's album in the last two years. And music critics think that your music style is avant-garde, and that you can still maintain your popularity even after five or ten years. ”

“…………”

Avril's excitement continued to diffuse, Zhou Zheng put the phone on the table, and waited until her volume lowered slightly: "Lavigne, it shouldn't be as simple as asking me to join the music industry, right?"

"yes, get that bastard shelly back. I'm going crazy... Now TV stations, advertisers, and show companies are looking for me, and they think of me as your manager. Lavigne Avril puffed up and said, "There are people who say they want to give me a package price, it's a bastard." ”

"Hahahaha. Zhou Zheng laughed heartily, he felt a sense of accomplishment to be able to make the punk diva so crazy. After the laughter, he said, "Okay, I'll get her over and help me with this." ”

"I've checked your schedule, you'll be arriving in New Jersey on December 8th, and I've picked up two TV announcements for you. A talk show and a talk show, all of which are very advanced. I've never been on ...... Damn, their eyes are really-. ”

"But ......" Zhou Zheng was stunned.

"No, both of them are phenomenal shows. Nothing to hesitate about. Avril didn't say anything, hung up the phone, and directly cut the first and then played.

Listening to the beep sound coming from the phone, Zhou Zheng smiled helplessly.

"Boss. If... You're going to the music industry, can you take me with you?" asked Rowan Garcia cautiously beside him.

Zhou Zheng gave him an angry look, and then called Yang Xueli, although he had never considered entering the music industry, but... Zhou Zheng is still very interested in making some money from the music industry.

……

After resting at home for half a day, Zhou Zheng stepped on the plane to Texas... The Trail Blazers' long road trip has officially begun.

"Tiger, did you read yesterday's paper? The Portland media has begun to refer to us as the Young Guard. ”

Travis Outlaw, who was dancing with his eyebrows, was very happy with the title. By his name, he was very taboo about the previous prison team. (Outlaw)

"You see, in this report, they liken us to dragon slaying warriors. Arrogant Australians have become the object of ridicule. Darius Miles also came over: "Tiger, your tyrannical buckle is so relieving." ”

These two had almost bought up all of the local newspapers in Portland, and deep down they really needed to agree with them.

"Ahem...... Zach Randolph walked over and coughed twice, Outlaw and Miles immediately got up and returned to their seats, and the 'drug dealer' took off his headphones and smiled: "Tiger, your music style is a little not exciting enough." The next time you release an album, call me on, and I'll give you a mix of a strong rap into it. ”

Zhou Zheng scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer Zach Randolph's 'heart of fists', he didn't plan to release a new album originally, and now the 'drug dealer' is so willing to die of this heart.

"Now there is some saying, you don't throw it in your heart. Zach Randolph said frankly: "I'm not as selfish as Ruben Patterson, and you can get some control over basketball." And, I agree with McMillan that you should make ten shots per game. ”

Zhou Zheng didn't know how to talk to Zach Randolph about this matter, but he didn't expect Randolph to take the initiative to come over and say these things to himself.

To be honest, he was a little moved.

"A winning team always has to have two or even three offensive points. Zachrandolph continued: "Since there is always something to have, I want this person to be you. ”

"Thank you. ”

Before joining the Trailblazers, Zhou Zheng had always had an inexplicable resistance to Zach Randolph, the legendary 'drug dealer', and the news he learned from the media pointed out that he was a bad and bad person.

However, after joining the team, it was he who helped him the most within the team.

Although this guy is always smoky, and his training is sluggish, the defense on the court is better than nothing. But he did keep living up to what he had been emphasizing...... He's really covering himself.

"Do you like cars?" Randolph took out a car magazine from under his fat ass and handed it to Zhou Zheng: "I'm going to change cars recently, you can help me refer to it." ”

"I... I don't really understand. Zhou Zheng scratched his head, and he said very frankly: "I don't know anything about cars, if you want to get some knowledge of calculus, I can give you a little guidance." ”

"your calculus. Zach Randolph staggered to his feet: "Judging by your intuition, I believe you can still give me a perfect assist on this issue." ”

With that, he returned to his position.

Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly, and then opened the car magazine.

When he got off the plane, Zhou Zheng said to Zach Randolph: "I think Camaro is not bad, American muscle car, big guy, very suitable for you." ”

"Camaro?" Zachrandolph frowned and muttered, "It's not too expensive." ”

……

Texas has three NBA teams, namely the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Houston Rockets. All three teams are very strong and none of them are easy opponents to play against.

The Portland Trail Blazers' first opponent in Texas was last season's championship San Antonio Spurs, and there were no surprises as the Spurs knocked the Trail Blazers down almost bloodlessly, and the game went into garbage time less than two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Zhou Zheng looked particularly uncomfortable under the Spurs' defensive system, and he felt that no matter where he rushed, it was a wall, and his rhythm was cut to pieces.

Although a few beautiful shots were also played.

But in the end, he lost the whole game, and no matter how bright the details are, it won't help.

In this game, which lost 79-97, Zhou Zheng played 20 minutes and scored 5 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals on 2-of-6 shooting, and a block for Tony Parker.

After the game, coach Popovich was asked by a Chinese journalist about his evaluation of Zhou Zheng.

Popovich wasn't as assertive as Stotts, and despite the Spurs' worst defensive performance of the new season, he still gave him high praise: "He's fast, he has his own ideas for controlling the tempo, he passes accurately and imaginatively. ”

"It's not a scene. I'm seriously praising this kid. Popovich emphasized it again, but he also offered his opinion: "He needs a relaxed tactical environment, and he has the potential to become a top point guard like Stephen Nash in the future." ”

The next day, the Trail Blazers lost the game in Dallas again, and Zhou Zheng's stats were much better, and he single-handedly beat Jason Terry and Devin Harris on the opposite side. But the 8 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds didn't lead to a win, but more losses than in San Antonio.

Dallas's offensive firepower was so fierce that the German tanks almost knocked Randolph out, and the veteran Starkerhouse completely dominated the Trail Blazers' perimeter.

"He's a pretty good point guard. When asked what he thought of Zhou Zheng, Johnson, the young general, seemed very perfunctory, and he is not a person who likes to make too many comments on losers.

However, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban ordered the general manager to send a trade request to Portland after the game, and the chips he gave were quite staggering, and the rest of the players were picked at random except for Dirk Nowitzki.

Mark Cuban is a man who loves basketball, and having worked with Jason Kidd and Stephen Nash, he knows even more about point guards than he does about power forwards. He knows the value of Zhou Zheng.

However, the response from Portland was...... Even if you take out Derknowisky, we will not have any negotiations with you about the Tiger, he is not for sale to us.

The icy refusal frustrated Mark Cuban, who had been thinking about it all the time he was watching the game...... How nice would it be if that No. 10 who was constantly feeding the team precision shells teamed up with Dirk? He was a better player for Dirk's style of play than Nash!

Mark Cuban couldn't help but be convinced by Zhou Zheng's dreams, but Zhou Zheng locked his eyes on his next opponent, the Houston Rockets.

This game has been hyped for a long time, and this is a Chinese derby in the true sense of the word.

At the same time, this game is extremely important for the promotion of the league, and David Stern even publicly stated at the meeting: The promotion of this game must not be lower than the Christmas war.

With the addition of two Chinese players, the NBA's expansion in the Chinese market has reached an incredible level. David Stern didn't want to miss out on this fantastic marketing opportunity...... This is the first Chinese derby, and it has to be grand!

The day after David Stern gave the order, T-NT announced that the game would be broadcast live across the United States.

This is the first time Zhou Zheng has appeared on the stage of national live broadcast since the NCAA Finals.

He'll be put to the test of fans across the country once again.

ESPN's previous denigration has given him the best warm-up.
