"Okay, Larry, you have to put away your previous impressions. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Pritchard sat at the desk of Pioneer President Larry Miller and said excitedly: "Don't think of him as a top Stanford student, and don't expect much from his quality, he's just a cup of poisoned wine." ”

"He has now been completely contaminated by Zach Randolph and others, all the old fritters regard him as a close comrade-in-arms, and even the players of the Mesozoic and even the new generation have been contaminated by his habits. ”

"Look at what he's been doing this year. He's gossiped more people than we've won, and Oregonians have had enough of his showbiz news. The security guards of the training hall had long been tired of the women who came to court. We are accelerating our march into the world of entertainment...... If it continues, our dressing room will be extravagant. ”

"Many of the players' wives have called me on my personal phone, and they have been asking me to keep their husbands away from the showbiz who is involved with all kinds of women. Our team is falling apart, Larry!"

"I'm definitely not alarmist. ”

"It's time to pour out this poisoned wine. ”

Pritchard took the words to the extreme.

Larry Miller was pondering. He is sure that this is the first person in the team to describe Zhou Zheng to himself in this way, and the feedback from other departments is that Tiger is a good person, he is personable and approachable, and he is friends with everyone. Whether it's a PR department or a commercial department...... Everyone was friendly with him and willing to do so forever.

"I'll think again. ”

Larry Miller told Pritchard, "You calm down again. ”

After Pritchard left the office, Larry Miller spoke on the phone with the heads of the other departments, and no one spoke ill of Zhou. When he tries to express some dissatisfaction, the other party will even say excitedly, "Are you crazy?" Your mind is very dangerous, we are in a golden age, and Tiger has brought us a golden age, you know?"

Larry Miller hung up, he probably understood.

Zhou Zheng brought unprecedented commercial prosperity to the team, and its popularity also rose rapidly.

And, it really seems that only Pritchard is unhappy with him.

Two weeks ago, McMillan had walked into the office and told himself about it, and he wanted to intervene. But... He felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing that there was some strife within the team, and the struggle between the Bulls Dynasty's player group, coaching staff and management was also very fierce, and the two core players of the OK Dynasty did not speak to each other. But that didn't affect their success, and throwing an eel into the sardine helped them survive.

Larry Miller was lost in thought.

Knock knock!

Larry Miller, who was thinking, heard a knock on the door,

"Please come in. ”

Zhou Zheng pushed the door open.

Larry Miller was a little surprised, and Zhou Zheng walked over with a smile on his face: "Are you okay? I have a bottle of top wine from a sponsor here, would you like to try it?"

As he spoke, he familiarly took out two goblets from Larry Miller's closet: "This is the real '82 Lafite." I've just become their global spokesperson. ”

Larry Miller took the glass, shook it gently, and after decanting it fully, took a sip: "Excellent, perfect." ”

Zhou Zheng laughed: "I gave it to you." ”

He's bold.

Larry Miller was a little flattered, he didn't expect Zhou Zheng to be so generous.

"It seems that I had to ask my chef to take out my Iberian ham. Larry Miller made a call.

Soon, the private chef delivered the carefully prepared slices of ham.

The two drank red wine over ham, and talked from Shakespeare's sonnets to Freudian psychology, and from Freud to philosophical systems...... Larry Miller enjoys the exchange, which he doesn't get from other players...... Usually Mr. Zachrandolph walked into his office to either complain or quibble, or bring his philistine agent to negotiate a contract.

"Don't you have anything else to tell me?" Eventually, Larry Miller didn't contain his curiosity, and he took the initiative to ask.

"Strictly speaking, I just want to give you, or management, a concept. ”

"Oh?" said Larry Miller, frowning.

Zhou Zheng said seriously: "I hope that the management will do a good job of the management, and the team will do the work of the team, support each other, and do not interfere or dump each other." A team where the general manager always sits on the bench has no future. ”

"What do you mean?" Larry Miller probably understood, and he waited for Zhou Zheng to say it.

"Please let the team decide the tactical direction for themselves, and don't let the administration interfere with the team's tactical operation. Zhou Zheng said very solemnly.

Larry Miller was silent for a long time.

The next day, Zhou Zheng saw the angry Pritchard.

He sent a blow to the locker room and left in a bad mood.

For that night's game, the Trail Blazers significantly upped the tempo, with Brandon Roy back on the bench.

The Minnesota Timberwolves weren't a tough opponent, and after three quarters, the Wolves were left alone...... And he's not the kind of star with explosive scoring power, so... He could only watch as the score was stretched bigger and bigger.

With Zhou Zheng fully controlling the rhythm, the offensive level of the Trail Blazers instantly improved, and Zhou Zheng was even more like a fish in water, playing a lot of tricks that shocked the whole game, and various no-look-passes made Portland fans fall into a carnival.

Brandon Roy successfully played the role he was given in the second quarter of the week's rest, becoming the centerpiece of the bench and leading the rotation to play extremely resilient offense and defense.

"We are on the right path. ”

Nate McMillan excitedly said after the game: "We're going back to the playoffs this year. ”

When McMillan said this, everyone was watching...... The playoffs aren't just talk.

The biggest reason for wait-and-see is still on Zhou Zheng, as the undoubted core of the pioneer today, his off-the-field events always involve everyone's attention...... People seem to be more willing to trust stars who don't have the slightest bit of news, like Tim Duncan. And for those players who are always in the entertainment media, they will always be described with the label of 'degenerate'.

"I'm living a Puritan life now. ”

Zhou Zheng was interviewed by Slam Dunk magazine before leaving for New York, and they have a long-standing relationship, and many of Zhou's first-hand information is released by the media that has established a good relationship since his college days, and he is also willing to have some things on their minds.

"Actually, I learned her name in the newspapers, and it was really just a visual misalignment. My relationship with her, like all of you, is a stranger. ”

Zhou Zheng vigorously explained these scandals. And then he didn't forget to tell the basketball fans: "I focused on strengthening my confrontation and offense in the offseason, and I feel better and better, and I will play more convincing games this season." ”

"The ranking made by T-NT seriously offended me. ”

At the same time, the notorious Marbury swore in an interview with the New York media: "Any ranking that puts him ahead of me has no credibility, and I only admit that Stephen Nash is above me, and that's because of the system." I'm not in the right system. ”

Marbury's anger stems from T-NT's league-wide rankings of the five positions, which put Zhou in third place among point guards, ahead of Stephen Nash and Jason Kidd...... And this ranking seriously hurt the self-esteem of Stephen Marbury, who is known as the world's No. 1 point guard.

In fact, the media thinks that the people who should complain more are Billups, Byron Davis, Tony Parker, and Mike Bibby. Iverson is the point guard who should complain the most, but he's been mired in trade rumors lately, and he clearly hasn't had the heart to make a sound.

As for Stephen Marbury, New York fans and the New York media have completely despaired of him, and everyone now would rather see him not talk to so-and-so, but ask him to leave early...... Everyone had had enough of the between him, Rally Brown, and Isaiah Thomas.

"If Little Tiger is willing to join the Knicks, we have no objection to ranking him first. ”

The New York Times is the most prestigious media outlet in New York, and they use the most direct way to slap Marbury in the face.

When Zhou Zheng arrived in New York, the cold wave also came unexpectedly, so he hurriedly put on a down jacket.

"I want him to take what was left with me. ”

Blay Clavery put it to the media: "I'm filming in New York. ”
