Chapter 68: System Players, Role Players, (1st Update)

"Congratulations, making it to the Final Four. ”

Kobe Bryant came over to congratulate Zhou Zheng for the first time.

Zhou Zheng shook his hand with a smile and teased: "This is not a good thing for you." The higher Stanford's record, the worse it will be for your draft. ”

"But we'll definitely get you. Kobe Bryant replied very seriously, he has been showing Zhou Zheng an imperative emotion.

For Kobe Bryant to attach so much importance to Zhou Zheng, as a player, he is actually very happy, and everyone likes this feeling of being taken seriously.

At this time, ESPN's sideline reporter had already come over with a camera to interview, and Kobe Bryant hurriedly stepped out of the camera and handed over the time to Zhou Zheng.

"Reaching the Final Four means something special to us, and we proved that RUN-GUN can indeed sweep the NCAA, and that we did what the Phoenix Suns did in the NBA, and even better than they did. Zhou Zheng said very seriously in front of the camera: "This is particularly important. ”

"So, do you think the more important thing to make it to the Final Four is that you have a successful system?"

"Of course. Zhou Zheng replied very seriously.

"So, are you putting your personal ability under the system?" The reporter very cleverly dug a trap for Zhou Zheng, if Zhou Zheng nodded and said yes, then Stanford's success would be more to blame on the system than on Zhou Zheng personally. So... Zhou Zheng's draft market is likely to decrease as a result.

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and replied, "I am to Stanford what Stephen Nash is to Phoenix. ”

That's a clever answer.

"But, Stephen Nash... Not the lotto players of the year. The reporter said sharply.

"I don't think NBA general managers will make the same mistakes again. Zhou Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and he coped with it with ease.

The reporter laughed, he thought Zhou Zheng was funny, at least in terms of speech much better than other rookies, and few rookie players could calmly respond when they were so aggressive and played a series of tricks, and made a gentle counterattack in a very short time...... This counterattack is not offensive, because it is mixed with humor.

"I think you're going to have a bright future in the NBA. The reporter smiled and replied with a strong subjective tendency, and then said: "However, do you want to use this lens to explain your affair with the NBA general managers about you and Lindsay Lohan, you must know that this matter can affect their judgment of you, no team wants to get a rookie who is in constant trouble off the court." ”

"I think it's a bit too much for you to characterize this as a nuisance... It's serious. It's just a normal social event. Zhou Zheng smiled and redefined things: "Going to a drive-in movie theater to watch a movie is a no-brainer option for any adult. ”

"But you're looking at ********. The journalist emphasized the main point.

"Haven't you seen it******** everybody has seen it, including Michael Jordan, and he must have seen it. ”

After Zhou Zheng finished saying this, he signaled the reporter not to continue: "Don't discuss this issue, because it's insignificant." No one really takes this seriously. ”

The reporter smiled and cut back to basketball, and the next opponent Stanford will face in the Final Four is the old powerhouse, Georgetown University, they have been rebuilding in recent years, but this year they successfully reached the Final Four with the sudden rise of two first-year students, and even eliminated the University of Kansas.

This is a complete dark horse, and Stanford is also considered a dark horse.

Therefore, the battle of these two dark horses is particularly exciting.

"I hope we can win in Georgetown, and my idol Alan Iverson graduated from that school, so if we can beat it, it will be something I'm proud of. Zhou Zheng replied modestly and firmly.

"Good luck then. ”

……

When Zhou Zheng returned home, the discussion about Zhou Zheng once again permeated the entire basketball circle.

Draft pundit Chatford wrote in his online column as soon as he got Stanford's win...... This is the victory of the team, this is the victory of the system, and RUN-GUN makes the tiger!

His opinion was shared by many draft experts, who all thought that Zhou Zheng's draft ranking was a bit inflated.

At this time, the video of Zhou Zheng's interview with ESPN was also quickly broadcast on the ESPN channel, and the on-demand broadcast of the TV host's voice was: "Tiger is a smart guy, he is very good at speaking, but in fact he has already made his position clear, and he is indeed achieved by RUN-GUN tactics." However, only the Warriors and Suns in the league will play that crazy fast break. ”

"So, Tiger's draft market should decline as Stanford's record improves. You have to know that apart from Carmelo Anthony, the top rookie in the NCAA Final Four hasn't been a star in years. Because in the NCAA, what can reach the Final Four is more dependent on the system. Whether it's the University of North Carolina, or Duke University, or the University of Kansas...... These superpowers haven't produced superstars in years, but they've sent a lot of qualified players to the NCAA. ”

"I think Zhou Zheng's final positioning should also be assessed as a player under a special system, he doesn't have the temperament to become a superstar. ”

ESPN's comments have stimulated discussions in the basketball circle, and everyone is beginning to discuss Zhou Zheng's draft market and future positioning, obviously, in the United States, everyone is naturally more inclined to Zhou Zheng will become a system player in the NBA in the future, that is, role players, as for the draft pick, everyone also feels that the middle and late stages of the first round are more appropriate.

Zhou Zheng didn't pay attention to what was being said outside, but Sani couldn't stand this kind of clamor and judgment.

When she was interviewed by the Los Angeles media in the evening, she told reporters very bluntly: "All the people who say that Zhou Zheng is a role player are idiots, and those who say that Zhou Zheng's draft pick will fall to the middle and late stages of the first round are also idiots." ”

"I have to be honest with the skeptics that the RUN-GUN game is tiger's brainchild, that he has a higher IQ than anyone who criticizes him, and that his understanding of basketball will make the pundits bite their tongues. Role players? Have you ever seen a role player who can control the situation on the pitch at all times and make accurate and lethal passes? Have you ever seen a role player lead a second-rate team to the Final Four? Are you insulting the Tiger or the opponents he has trampled underfoot?"

Sani was furious, she couldn't tolerate someone being so disrespectful to Zhou.

Although she would lose her temper with Zhou Zheng inexplicably in the training hall, outside, she resolutely did not allow anyone to belittle Zhou Zheng.

This is her principle.

Sani's words did not spark widespread support, and the commentators continued to give their verdicts on their toes.

They still believe that Zhou Zheng is a system player, and they still believe that Zhou Zheng only deserves a draft pick in the middle and late stages of the first round.

In their opinion, giving a Chinese point guard such a high pick is already a good face, and the Tiger side should be proud of it, not fight back.

Zhou Zheng was obviously not interested in debating with these imaginary basketball experts, and he was extremely excited at the moment because Yang Xueli had called him.
