Chapter 14: Suspicions

When Zhou Zheng said this, all the reporters looked at him in surprise... I have absolutely no idea why he jumped out at this time.

The ESPN reporter touched his chin and looked at him with interest, he waited for Zhou Zheng's answer.

He didn't think Zhou Zheng would be able to solve this problem at all.

"The reason the team made this decision is... I need a replacement. Zhou Zheng looked directly at ESPN's reporter: "I don't want to deny that I can only maintain a high-quality output of 20 to 30 minutes in an NBA-intensity game today, and this is a problem I have to face." ”

Zhou Zheng's confession made the ESPN reporter's face full of smiles, and he stood up and pointed the finger at Zhou Zheng: "Aren't you worried about your place being snatched away? Is it really too casual for a point guard who can only play 20 minutes to hold a signing ceremony with such fanfare? and to be treated as the core of the team's rebuild?"

The journalist was extremely sharp.

He originally wanted to drag Zhou Zheng into a huge distrust, but he didn't expect Zhou Zheng to take the initiative to admit his shortcomings, which was simply a target to hit him.

He even sympathized with Zhou Zheng: The poor kid really has no experience at all, and he drilled into the trap by himself.

The three Trailblazers executives sitting next to him were inexplicably moved, he didn't expect that Zhou Zheng had already begun to take responsibility before joining the team, and was willing to take this difficult blame on himself.

Just when John Nash tried to open his mouth to bring this matter back for Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng replied calmly and calmly: "I'm not worried about my position being snatched away. Also, I can understand that you're looking forward to seeing the jokes, but you need to add a little bit more basketball knowledge. ”

Zhou Zheng's counterattack was not sharp, but Portland reporters began to applaud off the field.

They like the tiger style, calm and gentle, and inadvertently complete the counter-kill.

Amid the applause and applause, the ESPN reporter shouted at Zhou Zheng in an emotional imbalance: "I have been with ESPN for 15 years, I have been covering the NBA for 11 years, I have seen countless potential new stars explode, and I know more and deeper about basketball than you know about Lindsay Lohan's body." ”

"Huh. Zhou Zheng said calmly: "If you have to compare Lindsay Lohan's body, then I can be sure that your knowledge of basketball is infinitely close to zero." ”

"I'm not going to argue with you about anything, and I'm not going to brag about my resume. Time will tell. Maybe it won't take you more than a year to see why you're still a post-game reporter after 15 years at ESPN. ”

"I'll keep an eye on you. The reporter pointed two fingers to his eyes and told Zhou Zheng very firmly: "Your current rhetoric will make you fall into the abyss in the near future." ”

He was already emotionally unbalanced, but Zhou Zheng always kept smiling.

Soon, the launch ended.

Backstage, John Nash said to Zhou Zheng very angrily: "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter." ”

Zhou Zheng just smiled slightly, he neither forgave nor fell into the trap.

Management's affairs, he didn't want to meddle. But this incident gave him a wake-up call that the Trail Blazers' top management is not monolithic, at least when it comes to how to treat themselves, and there are others who think differently.

Zhou Zheng left the stadium quickly, and he had a long vacation after signing the contract, and Yang Xueli had already negotiated with the team, and Zhou Zheng confirmed that he would not attend the summer league.

The next day, Zhou Zheng flew back to China. He still has two TV series to shoot and will be in the national team squad if he is called up.

Zhou's debate with ESPN reporters didn't cause much of a storm of public opinion, and almost every rookie in the top pick will be questioned in one way or another, and people are used to it. The Portland press gave Chou a high score for his performance at the press conference, believing that Chow was a rare player with high emotional intelligence who brought a refreshing change to the Trail Blazers.

The signing press conference was Zhou's last appearance in front of the American media, and since then it seems as if he has disappeared from the world.

Portland, on the other hand, are still working on personnel, giving up on contract extensions for former All-Star guards Van Axel and Derrick Anderson, and with the addition of Damon Studemire, they have dropped three experienced guards.

But, at the same time, they signed Washington's free agent Stephen Blake, a white point guard. With the addition of Sebastian Telfel, Jarrick Jack and Zhou Zheng, the Trail Blazers have stockpiled four point guards at this time... What are the Trail Blazers going to do?

Portland's uniforms have been a bit of a puzzle over the summer.

It is worth mentioning that in the summer league, Jarrick Jack and Stephen Blake both performed well, which made the Trail Blazers' No. 1 position in the new season full of doubts, and now even Trail Blazers fans don't know who to start.

At the same time, the ESPN reporter who was at the signing press conference with Zhou Zheng kept advocating in his column that the Blazers had recognized Zhou's vulnerability and were using various means to remedy their No. 1 position. He even swore that ... The Trailblazers are actively peddling Zhou Zheng.

About a week after his remarks spread, Krauss scolded the idiot in the media: "ESPN has recently recruited a bunch of news inventors from nowhere, and they are stupid and randomly release all kinds of unprofessional fake news, and Portland has no intention of trading tigers at all." ”

Although Klaus has been criticized for having a bad brain, his heart for wanting Zhou Zheng has never changed. When he saw that the ESPN column said that the Trail Blazers were actively peddling Zhou Zheng, he quickly dialed the phone and directly opened his chips. Then, the other side told him very unceremoniously: We didn't think about trading at all.

So, after eating the closed door, he found an opportunity for a media interview and squirted hard.

Then, ESPN organized a wave of counterattacks against Klaus, and they gave the arrogant fat man an all-out punch combination.

Klaus was so angry that his only thought now was to quickly trade Zhou Zheng from the Trailblazers and tell the world... Lao Tzu's eye for seeing people is still accurate. He even wanted to build a division of kings around Zhou Zheng again, so as to prove that the biggest hero of the Bulls dynasty back then was himself, not Michael Jordan.

However, the pioneers just won't let people go. Although they recruited two point guards in the summer, showing every indication that they were trying to marginalize Zhou Zheng, when it came to trades, they just didn't let up, no matter how high the chips were offered, they insisted that Aoyama would not relax.

Klaus was depressed.

Kevin Pritchard is even more frustrated, as his rivalry with John Nash has heated up, although he has given more options on the point guard line with two signings, and the two guys have played well in Summer League. But... Larry Miller and Stephen Patterson are still on John Nash's side and have never been willing to trade Zhou Zheng to the Bulls.

He was really going crazy, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhou Zheng poured into Larry Miller.
