Chapter 50: Strong Promotion
"First love is sad. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Zhou Zheng told Aragaki Yui earnestly.
Aragaki Yui quietly listened to the story told by Zhou Zheng.
She tilted her head and thought about it, but stopped talking.
Zhou Zheng drank the last cup of tequila, got up to pay the bill, and returned to the hotel with the help of Yui Aragaki's driver.
Drinking alcohol is very harmful to athletes, and many teams explicitly prohibit players from being exposed to alcohol during the season. But... Zhou Zheng really needs some alcohol to fall asleep tonight.
Alcohol brought Zhou Zheng a sweet dream.
He dreamed of Jessica, he dreamed of Megan Fox...... They get along very well, they are both very enthusiastic about themselves, and they do not leave suddenly or gradually become cold.
They lie in a rocking chair in the back garden in the warm sunshine, and the years are quiet and peaceful.
“…… Hey, tiger, tiger......! ”
Zhou Zheng heard Sani's voice, as if Lin Wanwan was shouting Zhou Zheng.
He was startled, and quickly opened his eyes, only to find Sani standing next to his bed, and Lin Wanwan, who had been dealing with business cooperation in the United States, was also bowing his head to clean up the mess all over the ground.
"When?"
Zhou Zheng looked up and asked.
"At one o'clock in the afternoon, it was still less than three and a half hours before the game."
Sani's tone was a little displeased.
She was angry not because Zhou Zheng neglected the game, but because he made himself like this.
"You should find a woman who allows you to focus on your career, rather than messing around with messy female celebrities or young and casual girls. They can't give you happiness, they only know how to ask for it. ”
Sani said to Zhou Zheng: "You are a billionaire, you are a basketball superstar, you are a super idol, you are no longer the youngest hairy boy on the Stanford varsity team." Don't be led by the nose by the so-called love anymore. ”
Zhou Zheng was silent and thoughtful.
Sani did not continue to preach.
She told Zhou Zheng the time when the bus was leaving, and then went out.
Lin reported to Zhou Zheng on the business progress of the United States, and she also submitted to Zhou Zheng a plan to strengthen the influence in the East Asian region.
Zhou Zheng fully trusts Lin Wanwan at work.
"I met my first girlfriend."
Zhou Zheng said to Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan's action of pouring water stopped for a beat, and after a while, he handed a cup of hot ginger tea to Zhou Zheng: "Drink it." Sober up. ”
As she spoke, she got up and swept up all the vomit on the floor and threw it into a garbage bag.
There was no trace of disgust on his face, just a serious and careful way to do things well.
"Drink less in the future."
She told Zhou Zheng before going out.
Zhou Zheng got up and found that the change of clothes had been stacked on the bedside table, neatly and neatly.
After washing, he came out of the room and met Chen Jianghua: "Brother Zhou... How much did you drink last night? I vomited on the ground, and I couldn't stand it anymore so I opened a room by myself. I heard that the woman who came back from the United States kept watch over you all night. It's not shallow. ”
Chen Jianghua squeezed his eyebrows, looking very ambiguous.
Zhou Zheng ignored him and walked towards the cafeteria, he was hungry, he felt empty in his body, and he urgently needed to replenish his energy.
When the Chinese team arrived at the stadium, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was not much time left for them to warm up.
This will be bad news for the Chinese team.
And for Chinese fans, the even more unfavorable news is...... The news that Zhou Zheng was drunk before the game has spread all over the Internet, and some Japanese reporters took photos of Zhou Zheng and Aragaki Yui drinking in a bar, and even the picture of Zhou Zheng getting drunk in the end has not been missed.
With the war just around the corner, such news is devastating.
There was an immediate change in domestic public opinion, although the vast majority of people thought that it would be difficult for the Chinese team to defeat Greece to enter the semi-finals in history, but... Zhou Zheng's behavior was severely criticized and abused by them, thinking that he didn't take the national team events to heart at all, and even said that he was a pampered and arrogant bastard;
At the same time, a South Korean media said in the form of breaking the news that it was responsible for Zhou Zheng's pre-match drunkenness. They vividly described that Zhou Zheng had an emotional entanglement with a trainee of an entertainment company, and he was in pain, so he went to buy drunk.
All the revelations point to S.M, and the content is detailed. It may sound a bit unbelievable, but there are many places that are very realistic.
This made the discussion focus of Koreans on which trainee was the first love of superstar Zhou Zheng, and it was able to make him painfully drunk...... How can you be a little proud?
The national character of Koreans is indeed a bit strange.
The Japanese people are keen to match Zhou Zheng and Aragaki Yui, in their opinion, Zhou Zheng and Aragaki Yui's acquaintance is simply the plot in an idol drama...... Bizarre and romantic. Moreover, they firmly believe that Zhou Zheng and Aragaki Yui will become the most suitable pair, a combination of prince and princess.
Each of the three East Asian countries has its own interpretation, with completely different angles and very distinct positions.
"I heard you drank heavily last night?"
When Spanollis was warming up, he found Zhou Zheng and couldn't wait to talk trash talk: "Even if you know that you must fail, there is no need to raise your hand and surrender before the whistle blows." ”
"Or do you want to create an excuse that you haven't done your best?"
Spanoulis triumphant.
Zhou Zheng didn't bother to take care of him.
Spanoulis has been on a smug note lately, and the general manager of the Rockets has been in Japan for a week, and his goal is to get Spanollis to sign as soon as possible and put on the Rockets' jersey as soon as possible.
Spanoulis is very confident about playing in the NBA, and in his opinion, Zhou Zheng can mix into the best rookie, and there is no reason for him to do worse.
"Apart from the salary, my biggest request is that I choose the number 10 shirt."
Spanouris told Dawson that he was confident: "Ten years from now, I'll have this jersey hanging over the Toyota Center. ”
Now, what he has to do is take the other No. 10 off the horse.
Drip!
The whistle blows,
The competition has officially begun.
Syllable!
Yi Jianlian jumped the ball and won the ball.
When the basketball returned to Zhou's hands, the Greek team quickly withdrew and pulled out the joint defense at a very fast pace.
This is a move they used to deal with the dream team, and now it has been used against Zhou Zheng in advance.
The FIBA venue is smaller than that of the NBA, and coupled with the joint defense, Zhou Zheng's super breakthrough ability must be greatly reduced.
And the most important thing is that Zhou Zheng's projection ability is very unstable.
Yannaski made a good calculation.
But... When Zhou Zheng came to the three-point line, opening his hand was a jumper...... Swish!
Zhou Zheng opened the precedent for the Chinese team with a decisive three-pointer.
The Greeks were taken aback...... In the last game, Zhou Zheng rarely took shots, and the desire to attack only showed itself at critical moments. Why did you show a strong enterprising spirit at the beginning of today? Drink to strengthen your guts?
Spanoolis was surprised.
But what was even more surprising was Papalukas, when he was tall and ready to eat Zhou Zheng, he was surprised to find that Zhou Zheng's confrontation ability had improved a lot. It was hard for him to squeeze him away and then jump shots.
After a few collisions, he gave up the idea of eating and handed the basketball to Spanoulis for him to comb slowly.
Swish!
In the end, Greece still scored in the penalty area.
The Greek team has a very solid style of play.
However, Zhou Zheng turned his head and opened his hand for another three points.
Swish!
Two consecutive three-pointers completely disrupted Yannaski's plans, and he had to expand his defensive tactics a little more.
And such an adjustment immediately gave Zhou Zhengjian the opportunity to insert stitches.
His breakouts began to become more aggressive, and when Zhou was tearing through the outer defense, the defenders inside had to follow suit...... No matter how tightly it works, you will still get caught in the loophole...... And the loophole is the beginning of the scoring of the Chinese team players.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led by one point at 25:24, of which Zhou Zhengdu scored 11 points and only had 3 assists.
"Zhou Zheng tonight is very abnormal, he plays more aggressively than usual, he is a bit like a swingman's style of play."
The CCTV commentator commented on the first quarter of the game: "If Zhou Zheng can continue this aggression into the NBA game, it would be great." ”
"It's just that NBA players are more athletic than the average Greek player, and those defensive giants won't give Zhou Zheng enough time to prepare for a straight-arm shot...... He also needs to work on the straight-arm shooting rate a little faster. ”
In the first five minutes of the second quarter, Zhou Zheng sat on the bench to rest.
The two kings of Europe, Spanoulis and Papalukas, combined to dominate the perimeter, and China were outscored by five points in five minutes.
Then, Zhou Zheng played. As soon as he got on the court, he shook Spanoulis out of the way and hit a jumper.
Dawson, the general manager of the Rockets sitting in the stands, shook his head helplessly...... This ball is a very visual expression of how huge the gap between Spanoulis and Zhou Zheng is.
"You can't stop me."
Zhou Zheng shook his finger at the king of Europe and told him very clearly: "Your ball skills are inversely proportional to your mouth cannon." ”
Unconvinced, Spanoulis turned back and tried to return the favor.
But the basketball was off the basket, the rebound was picked up by Mock strongly, the Chinese team launched a fast break, and Zhu Fangyu hit a jumper from beyond the three-point line.
In less than fifty seconds, the five-point difference was completely erased.
Yannaski was a little anxious, and he yelled from the sidelines. But it failed to change the momentum of the Chinese team.
Zhou Zheng's hand tonight was a bit against the sky, he hit the outside jumper in a row, and the hit of the jump shot expanded the lethality of the breakthrough several times...... The offensive of the entire Chinese team was also driven by this.
The Greek team has been mocking the tactical literacy of the Chinese team, but... Before they could fight for tactical literacy, they were already in decline.
At the end of the second quarter, the Chinese team led by 4 points.
“…… Tiger has evolved again, and I'm really looking forward to the new season of the Trailblazers. The Greeks want to beat the Chinese tonight unless they have an AK47 in their hands that can kill Tiger on the spot.... They are destined to be eaten alive. ”
The reporter of T-NT TV in the United States was very straightforward, and his half-time prediction was that the Chinese team would advance to the semifinals.
However, the commentators of China's CCTV are still there to emphasize 'less loss is better to win'.
He is already very satisfied with the results of the Chinese team in this World Championships.
In fact, there are many fans like them, who feel that it is already an unexpected joy to reach the quarterfinals, after all, this team lacks Yao Shu.
At the same time, they are still looking forward to how terrifying the Chinese team will be if Yao Shu joins in.
Our future is full of hope.
However, Zhou Zheng has never been a person who is keen on 'looking up at the stars', he just needs to be down-to-earth now.
"Brothers, we're only two quarters away from breaking the record and we're still ahead. As long as we grit our teeth and stick to the way we played in the first half, the victory will be ours......"
Zhou Zheng constantly motivates his teammates and arouses their desire to make history. No one doesn't want to be part of the historical record, which in China is called a history legacy.
"Come on!! Final Four!!! ”
Before playing in the third quarter, Zhou Zheng shouted loudly for the top four.
Then, the battle began.
The Chinese team obviously played a more focused defense, while Zhou Zheng still firmly controlled the offensive end, like an airtight net directly covering Greece.
The Greeks came with a desire for revenge and also announced their wish list before the start of the game, and they treated the Chinese team as fish and meat, and they maintained a posture of superiority.
However, now that Zhou Zheng has dragged them into the mud, they have to fight a hand-to-hand fight with Zhou Zheng.
Spanoulis has always thought that Zhou Zheng is inferior to himself, but in the situation of hand-to-hand combat, he found that his passing ability is not as good as him, his defensive ability is not as good as him, his confrontation ability is not as good as him, his breakthrough ability is not as good as him, and now he is not even as good as his offensive ability.
The all-round backwardness has made the gap recognized.
However, it is no longer possible to turn back time.
At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team took a 12-point lead.
Before the game, no one dared to imagine that.
Of course, no one would believe that Zhou Zheng, who is not good at offense, actually scored 35 points in the third quarter, shooting 14 of 22, and the shooting rate was close to 66%.
Countless Portland fans burst into tears at this moment, and the little tiger's fangs finally popped out.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the Greek team organized a final counterattack.
However, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng threw in 3 three-pointers in a row, and their offensive was completely extinguished.
And Zhou Zheng caused continuous inside kills, and locked the victory from then on.
86:69。
The World Championships journey of the King of Europe is over.
The dark horse Chinese team continues to move forward bravely.
Zhou Zheng, who scored 43 points in the game, became the focus of attention.
"I'm not going to hold them accountable for what they said before the game. They should now go and prepare their tickets. ”
Zhou Zheng was very calm and also gave Spanoulis some advice: "Before the NBA training camp starts, he should do strength training to gain weight. It will make his NBA journey a little smoother. ”
"Yes, I did do something last night that violated the athletes' schedule. I will accept the punishment of the Chinese team. But I don't want to publish the reason, it's my private matter. Thank you. ”
