Chapter 72: NBA Frontline (First Shift Monthly Pass)

"It was a very scorching game, the Bucks were very tough, they had a lot of skill and a lot of strength. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the game, when Zhou Zheng was interviewed, he looked gentle: "Fortunately, God is on our side, and the last ball is really lucky." ”

Zhou Zheng was smiling, without the slightest bit of fierceness during the game. On the camera, he looks like a sunny boy next door

'I don't want to judge what he said before the game, that's his business. I can't keep everyone's mouth in check. Zhou Zheng replied with a calm expression: "Perhaps, he just made a joke that was not funny, in fact, he didn't laugh out himself." After the match, his face was uglier than anyone else's. ”

Zhou Zheng was not the slightest bit aggressive, but every reporter present could hear the meaning of his words...... He pointed out that Bogut was a joke. Yet, the language is so gentle. Compared with Bogut's arrogant and unruly 'untargeted' before the game, it is simply a heaven and an underground, full of emotional intelligence.

"Yes, I got the highest score of my career tonight. Zhou Zheng himself laughed: "16 points is really not an easy thing for me. ”

"Three wins in a row means a lot to me because it puts our team back in the top eight and I'm so proud of my team-mates, they played an amazing rhythm and I was a fan of every single one of them. Zhou Zheng praised all his teammates. But in fact, the question asked by the reporter was, 'How is it feeling to lead the team to three wins in a row?'

Although it is a bit of a non-answer, the reporters can know from it...... This is Zhou Zheng's way of leading.

The Trail Blazers were able to play so impressively in three games and put up a strong morale show in the absence of all the veterans in the final game. To achieve the final victory with tenacious fighting spirit, this is inseparable from Zhou Zheng's leadership.

Judging from the subjective feelings of this press conference, the Trailblazers have really taken on a new look, and the temperament they show is completely different from before.

At the end, the reporters tried to ask Zhou Zheng something about the record and the relationship, and Zhou Zheng laughed, and then reached out and begged for mercy.

"Spare me. I'm just a player tonight. I've been carried away by the ESPN news. ”

Zhou Zheng took the initiative to show weakness and made the reporters embarrassed to chase and beat again, and then Zhou Zheng left the press conference.

Then... McMillan was interviewed.

When McMillan was interviewed, he didn't leave Tiger in three sentences, and all of them were praise: "Tiger is the most talented and leading point guard I've ever met." And you can't imagine how tough he is, even though he always seems so gentle. ”

"At the age of nineteen, he has already shown the responsibility of a true man. ”

"I can now fully understand why so many Hollywood actresses are obsessed with him, and if I had a daughter and she told me I was in love with Tiger, I would have planned a wedding for them that night. Yes, it's that simple. ”

McMillan's words drew a complaint from a reporter from the Portland Daily Weekly: "Nate, I swear Tiger will never fall in love with your daughter." Even if you tempt him with unlimited firing power, he won't have any heart. ”

McMillan laughed, and then said, "Honestly, I'm already planning to give this kid unlimited firing rights." His offensive ability needs to be honed in actual combat. ”

"I've been encouraging him to shoot, and in my opinion, he needs to take at least 10 shots per game. ”

McMillan's appreciation for Zhou Zheng is beyond words, and can even be described as 'spoiled'.

The Portland reporter is happy to have such chemistry between the generals, and after three consecutive home trials, Zhou Zheng has become the darling of the Trail Blazers fans, and in their opinion, Zhou Zheng deserves all kinds of care...... After all, he is the future.

Immediately, Bucks coach Stotts, who lost the game, came to the press conference as a matter of routine, and he looked a little listless and very depressed.

'We were very sad to lose this game. But the defeat has nothing to do with the players, it's my tactics that have gone wrong. I made it too easy for the number 10 in the first three quarters. Stotts took all the blame on himself: "I have to pay for my contempt." ”

After that, he went back to some formulaic questions.

Toward the end of the interview, a Chinese reporter stood up and asked a question that seemed unnecessary to an American reporter...... This is a common problem among Chinese journalists.

"Coach Stotts, what is your assessment of the Chinese player Zhou Zheng, who played well in this game, and what do you think he needs to improve?"

When this question arises, local Portland reporters can't help but be a little dumbfounded... They think that Tiger has already defeated their opponents, so why should they seek their own comments? We are the winners, why are we so unconfident?

Stotts frowned.

Immediately, he said indifferently, "That Chinese player is very active, he played very well in this game. But... He'll hit the rookie wall soon, and his physical and offensive prowess will keep him at the wheel stop. ”

"I know he's had a great resume in the NCAA, but there's a guy on my bench who has a better college resume than him, and they have a similar style and they end up going to be the same. ”

After speaking, he got up and left the press conference.

He didn't give the reporters below a chance to fight back, and he finally disgusted Zhou Zheng before leaving Portland with a disgraced defeat.

It's a stupid question, and Stotts answers it leaves no stone unturned.

The beam between Zhou Zheng and the buck is settled.

The next morning, while Zhou was having breakfast, T-NT TV broadcast good news.

Zhou Zheng, who averaged 11 points, 13.3 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game in three games, was officially affirmed by the NBA, successfully defeated Chris Paul to become the Western Conference Rookie of the Week, and also squeezed into the top five in the Western Conference Player of the Week vote.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ After the Milwaukee Bucks' loss to the Trail Blazers last night, there was a heated clash on the team's bus, with Joe Smith and Margoul battling it out, and Andre Bogut and TJ Ford joining the team. According to reliable sources, the fight began with a gamble in which Margoyle opened the game by saying that he would pay 100 times the odds if the Trail Blazers' No. 5 pick shook TJ Ford and dunked Bogut during the game. Joe Smith bet a thousand dollars, and... These two goals became the second and first places in last night's top 10 goals. ”

"This is the footage taken at the airport, where Joe Smith's face is visibly swollen and Margore's neck is also covered with red scratches...... Did they settle this dispute by brawling with WNBA players?"

"After focusing on the funny losers, let's look at the winners. ”

"The No. 5 pick had a fantastic game last week, propping up the team when the team's core Zach Randolph and Ratliff were suspended, and led the team to an astonishing three-game winning streak. In the crucial game against the Bucks, the team's leading scorer inside and outside, Ruben Patterson, also missed the game, and the Trail Blazers staff, who did not want to be named, claimed that the No. 5 pick had a fierce clash with Ruben Patterson in the locker room before the game, and Ruben Patterson taunted the young players who were angered by Bogut as a veteran player, and the No. 5 pick DNP Ruben Patterson directly with the support of McMillan, and then led the team to victory. ”

McMillan was very pleased with the toughness of the No. 5 and he thought the No. 5 could already take charge of the dressing room ahead of schedule. ”

With that groundbreaking three-point shot, Ruben Patterson was completely out of position in the locker room, and the new generation of Trail Blazers players rallied around the No. 5 pick. According to inside information, Zach Randolph is also on the side of Tiger. Their friendship made us feel inexplicable. A high-achieving student at Stanford, a 'drug dealer' who is often linked to the news of gun trafficking and hemp sales, actually have a common topic?"

"Also, the Trail Blazers are now nominally Zach Randolph's team, and he's at the heart of all of them. Wouldn't the gradual rise of the No. 5 show really make Randolph feel threatened? History has proven it countless times...... Such relationships are fragile. Shaq O'Neill also regarded Hardaway as a brother at first......"

Syllable!

Zhou Zheng shut down the show called "NBA Frontline".

Rowan Garcia was a little surprised, and he asked, "Why don't you continue to listen?"

"It has nothing to do with me. Zhou Zheng replied nonchalantly.

But Garcia could tell that his face was heavy.

Immediately, Zhou Zheng continued to ask: "I became the NBA Rookie of the Week, and the ESPN gang can't pick thorns, right?"

"Huh. Garcia laughed, he felt that Zhou Zheng was a little naΓ―ve: "They didn't pay attention to the fact that you got the best rookie and beat the top spot in a row, and they were actively discussing whether you would hit the rookie wall in the next game." Stotts was a big inspiration with his post-match remarks, and they're now on their way to a climax. ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the phone rang, picked it up and looked... It was Avril calling.
