"You've got to step up your endurance training. On the plane to Atlanta, Rowan Garcia said to Zhou Zheng like an old butler: "There is no way to take advantage of the NBA game. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded.

The 100-kilogram bench press in the training hall is actually a routine, Zhou Zheng pushed 100 kilograms and shocked the world, but in fact, let him push 84 kilograms, he can only push four or five times at most. Obviously, this data can't have a shocking effect, because it is indeed very ordinary. Pushing 100 kg is completely different, even if it can only be pushed three times.

"The improvement in terms of explosiveness is very obvious. Rowan Garcia said: "This will make your breakthrough more impactful, and you won't suffer too much loss in the instant confrontation." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Zheng nodded. Recently, under the training of Adi's team, he can intuitively feel that the improvement has become stronger, especially in terms of instant explosiveness. The confrontation ability has also improved a bit, but not by much... I also lost some weight.

It used to be 84 kg, now it's only 82 kg. This has something to do with the reduction of body fat content, but Zhou Zheng still wants to be stronger, Chris Paul is 7 centimeters shorter than himself, and his weight is 4 kilograms heavier than himself, which is indeed a not very good data.

As soon as he walked out of the Atlanta airport hall, he found Josh Childis holding a sign and waving with a smile, and he settled Zhou Zheng in his Atlanta home, chattering all the way: "Tiger, it's great if you can join Atlanta." I can't stand the ball those two idiots pass me anymore, and I'm sure it's better than theirs even if it's from your toenails. There's nothing missing here, just a smart point guard. ”

"If you come, I will introduce you to every member of staff, I have a good relationship with everyone. ”

"Also, you can stay in my house, I bought a big house, you can even call your girlfriends together. ”

“…………”

Josh Childis seems to see things too simply, this matter is not something that Zhou Zheng can decide, and the choice lies with the Atlanta management.

The next day, Zhou Zheng went to the Eagles' training hall for a trial. All the top executives of the Atlanta uniform team sat on the sidelines, lined up. They attach great importance to Zhou Zheng's tryout, however... They didn't play the full game or the half, and they focused on Zhou Zheng's shooting and matchups.

Zhou Zheng is not good at confrontation, and his shooting is not good enough.

So... In the trial that morning, Zhou Zheng was very struggling.

When leaving the training hall, Zhou Zheng could already clearly feel... The Atlanta general is out of the picture.

He was slightly frustrated.

But the next step in the trial was to move forward, and he got on the plane back to Orlando that night.

"Tiger is a very good point guard and we were overcome by his passing skills and he would be one of our options. In an interview with Chinese reporters, the general manager of Eagle said with a smile.

His diplomatic rhetoric, processed by reporters, turned out to be Zhou Zheng's locked-in list.

All of a sudden, the Chinese fans were extremely happy and excited. In their opinion, it is great that Zhou Zheng can enter the NBA with the second pick, and the Hawks are indeed weak in the point guard position, and Zhou Zheng can become the main point guard as soon as he enters.

This kind of news has made the Eagles' attention in China increase a lot, and there is a faint meaning of competing with the Rockets.

At this time, Zhou Zheng had already started an intense trial in the training camp of the Magic team, and Stan Van Gundy personally presided over the trial. He directly let Zhou Zheng practice his tactical system in the full-court offense, Zhou Zheng drove the tactics very easily, and several NBDL jumping men who came to try out were controlled by him into a flying team, all kinds of abuse frames, and the performance outside the three-point line is also quite accomplished, if it weren't for the three-point shooting rate of his teammates is too low, at least 10 more than 20 minutes would have to be thrown in.

"What if... If you fall into our order, then we will definitely not have any other considerations. Stan Van Gundy promised Zhou Zheng very seriously: "We will discuss within the team, and I will do my best to get the management to trade upwards." ”

"I'm also looking forward to working with Dwight. Zhou Zheng replied with a smile.

After leaving Orlando, Zhou Zheng made his next stop in New York.

Although Zhou Zheng had rejected Isaiah Thomas's invitation to join New York, under the persuasion of Adi's team, he still decided to go to New York for a tryout, because he was moved by the business prospects of New York, after all, he was really short of money now.

Before arriving in New York, news came from Orlando.

"Tiger couldn't stand up to an NBA-level confrontation at all, he staggered in tryouts, and the pace of the game was very fragmented. We will not waste our order on him. ”

Stan Van Gundy said with a serious expression when facing the media.

He said it very seriously, and criticized Zhou Zheng very thoroughly.

His remarks sparked a violent backlash from Chinese fans, who threw all kinds of taunts at him...... "Cut, who is rare." "Where does the confidence come from? 11th pick to get Zhou Zheng?" "Big Van Gundy probably thinks that the teams in front of him are all blind. "Excuse me, we don't need the 11th pick?" "......"

All of a sudden, Da Van Gundy almost became the NBA head coach that Chinese fans hated the most, in their opinion, Da Fan was too self-righteous, too serious about himself, and he didn't even take Zhou Zheng in his eyes, who did he think he was.

After Zhou Zheng arrived in New York, Isaiah Thomas did not try him out at all, but invited him and Rowan Garcia to a meal, and by the way, called the team's president, James Dolan Jr.

"Tiger, as long as you fall to the eighth pick, we can't choose anyone else. Isaiah Thomas drunkenly gave a guarantee.

Zhou Zheng asked if he wanted to go for a tryout, and Thomas patted his chest and said, "Are you humiliating me? I've been in Orlando for so many days, can't I see your potential?"

Zhou Zheng was speechless for a while, and he was really a little overwhelmed when he met someone with this temperament.

So after eating a meal and staying overnight, Zhou Zheng traveled to New Orleans.

In fact, after Zhou Zheng left, Dolan Jr. asked Isaiah Thomas very puzzled: "Why don't you try it out?"

"He's not going to fall to the eighth pick. Isaiah Thomas was clear: "Stan Van Gundy has been there trying to suppress his draft market and get him to the 11th pick. Hehe, NBA general managers aren't stupid. ”

"What if we do fall to the eighth pick?"

"Then what else do we have to consider? Haven't you seen him play? Even if he doesn't become a first-class star, he doesn't have the slightest problem becoming the most popular star at the box office, his style of play is too flashy, more gorgeous than Jason Williams. By the time he joins New York, Madison Garden's season tickets may all be cleared within a week. ”

"Oh. Little Dolan immediately understood Thomas's thoughts, and sure enough, it was the old fox.

When Zhou arrived at the New Orleans Hornets, Deron Williams happened to be there, and the two super point guards met in the New Orleans training gym.

Simply so, the Hornets let each of them lead a team and let them prove themselves with one game.

In the end, Zhou Zheng won the game, but Deron Williams scored 24 points. The game only lasted 20 minutes, and this scoring efficiency had to be impressive.

"We're more inclined to go with Deron Williams, who is more attacking and very good, but Tiger is also very good, so it's going to be a sweet annoyance. "Here's what the Hornets put out to the outside.

The Hornets said something cloudy, but Zhou Zheng smiled, and he said to Rowan Garcia: "They have long been in love with Chris, and Delon and I are both under the guise that they used to deceive Atlanta and Salt Lake City." ”

Rowan Garcia agreed: "That's right, they're too low-tech. ”
