Chapter 16: The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero
The second week of November passed quickly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Zheng was notified on Monday that he was named the Western Conference Player of the Week, and his three-game winning streak earned him the accolade, making him the second time in his life that he was named NBA Player of the Week.
By the time he arrived in Miami, Zhou Zheng's flu was almost gone, but the dullness in his chest was still there...... This condition can only be alleviated when he exercises quickly, which makes Zhou Zheng very strange and uncomfortable, the MRI did not detect anything abnormal, and the team doctor just told him to pay attention to rest.
Portland's team doctor is always so perfunctory.
After Brandon's knee hit Boston, he just told him: hard injury, it's okay, pay attention to rest.
Roy was quite dissatisfied with this, and he said to Zhou Zheng: "Our medical team is too irresponsible, at least we should do some physical therapy for me, right?"
Zhou Zheng patted him on the shoulder and told him, "If you feel unwell, choose to rest." ”
Brandon Roy is a strong man, and he didn't end up asking the coaching staff to take a break.
The Trail Blazers have won four in a row, and the coaching staff is very happy with the result, and in their opinion, the toughest outside reconciliation issues have been solved, so what is there to worry about?
However, Pritchard's speech made waves. In an exclusive interview with The Honest Oregon, he made it very clear: "I'm very happy to be able to bring Brandon to Portland this summer, where he plays at the University of Washington next door, and I've been watching him for three years, and he's very talented and consistent. ”
"It proved that I had a vision that he is now Michael Jordan of the Trail Blazers, and with the help of the Tigers, he is getting more and more comfortable in the NBA, and he even scored 37 points in the last game, and we haven't had a shooting guard with such great potential since Drexler left. ”
"I have a lot of confidence in the future of the Trailblazers. Within three years, we would be able to reach the finals under Brandon. ”
Pritchard's words are all Brandon Roy.
This makes the fans nervous, which is not a good sign. Although Brandon did well, everyone knew that Tiger was the leader of the sophomore...... Even if it's not Tiger, Zach is still there. When will it be Brandon's turn? He's just a rookie who hasn't played more than double digits in an official NBA game.
"Isn't Pritchard not worried about Tiger upsetting at all? Such remarks are not at all what a smart general manager should say, and it is more like deliberately provoking an internal war within the team. ”
The commentator of T-NT hit the nail on the head.
In fact, many media have danced along with the news of Zhou Zheng's feud with Brandon Roy, and ESPN has been reporting on it for a long time.
Public opinion quickly spread, and Zhou Zheng was asked this question in Miami, and even the Miami reporter deliberately provoked: "If you have the opportunity, will you be willing to come to Miami? We can give you dual-core treatment." ”
Zhou Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said very seriously: "I haven't considered joining other teams. ”
When asked about his relationship with Brandon Roy, Zhou Zheng replied calmly: "There are no problems between us. Perhaps Mr. Pritchard made a slip of the tongue, or perhaps the reporter made a mistake in his reporting. In any case, none of this will affect my relationship with Brandon. ”
Zhou Zheng said it very easily in the media, but Lin Wanwan's reaction was extremely intense.
She single-handedly manipulated the departure of the five sponsors of the Rose Garden Arena, and made it clear to Larry Miller: "Don't upset us. ”
On the same day, she released a wind in the media: "Zhou Zheng is open to returning to California. ”
In an instant, Pritchard found that he had six more trade applications on his desk, and the bull even offered a 'random match, no non-sale' price code.
Just as he was overjoyed, Larry Miller kicked his door open and warned him in a very bad manner: "Put away your clumsy little cleverness, and if you want to keep going, keep your mouth shut." ”
"At the heart of us is Tiger. ”
At the start of the Miami Heat-Trail Blazers game, Larry Miller spoke to reporters in Portland and repeatedly emphasized: "The atmosphere inside the team is very good, Tiger is in charge of the entire locker room. ”
He was right, the atmosphere in the dressing room was very good before Pritchard spoke.
But when Pritchard's words reached the players' ears, it was evident in the dressing room that Roy was isolated. Zach Randolph even pushed him against the wall in the players' tunnel and warned him: "Judas, stay away from me." ”
Everyone thinks of Roy as Pritchard's lackey.
Miles was even more sarcastic when he said, "Hey, Michael, help me carry my bag." ”
These statements and targeted actions are very harmful to Roy. Pritchard said the stupidest thing by throwing Brandon into the oil pan with his own hands...... He forgot that the locker room was Zhou Zheng's turf.
Roy approached Zhou before the game, telling him that he was completely unaware and that he had no intention of competing for the leadership of the team.
Zhou Zheng smiled at him, and he believed him. Or rather, there was no suspicion of him.
However, Brandon Roy was not on the starting line-up for the evening's game, with McMillan replacing him with Outlaw.
McMillan made it clear with his lineup that he was on Zhou Zheng's side...... No matter how many points you scored in the last game, no matter how much the general manager praised you, it didn't help. In my case, Tiger is the trump card, and I don't want to do anything that upsets him.
Miami, last season's champions, are still fighting this season, and their general manager, Pat Riley, has been emphasizing never underestimating a championship's heart.
Portland had beaten the Miami Heat in the preseason, but Shaq O'Neal hadn't returned to the team by then.
Now they're up against a full-blooded version of the Heat.
Big Shark is now at the end of his career, he already has a bit of a desireless feeling, before the game he took the initiative to find Zhou Zheng, and told him: "I appreciate your musical talent, should we form a band to tour together in the summer?"
Zhou Zheng politely rejected him: "My agent obviously won't agree to this happening." ”
In the basketball circle, the shark is a dominant figure, but in the music circle, Zhou Zheng is the master, and the shark is not even a ticket holder. Team up with him? What's the difference between that and Brian Cook's phrase, 'I scored 83 points with Kobe Bryant'?
The pre-game shot made the Shark a little upset, so he struggled to go all out when he jumped the ball. And then ran over Zach Randolph, who used his supertonnage to knock Randolph away, then turned around and dunked violently...... The three-hundred-pound Randolph looked miniature in front of him.
"Why don't you form a band with me?"
The shark opened its bloody mouth and complained loudly at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng laughed dumbly, the big shark really looked like a big child with a nuclear weapon...... Childish and funny, but full of lethality.
Immediately, Zhou Zheng took over the basketball from Outlaw.
He pushed forward unhurriedly.
In the last game, Brandon Roy scored 37 points, and Pritchard called him Michael Jordan and said he was the future of the Trail Blazers.
These things more or less stimulated Zhou Zheng.
Zhou is a strong person.
So, tonight... He's going to do something sensational.
The defending champions are indeed strong, and the sharks are indeed ferocious.
But....
Only when the sea crosses the sea can the true character of the hero be revealed!
