Chapter 16: I'll Make a Comeback

"We never wanted to fail, but we did. Roy Williams spoke to reporters after the game with great frustration: "We underestimated their number 10 and we even forgot to defend him at the last minute, which was the key to deciding the game. ”

"I know what it means to do something wrong, but that's basketball, I can't go back to the past, I just have to face the future. I hope to play him again next year and hopefully they can make it to the round of 64 next season!" said Raymond Felton looked unconvinced.

But, in any case, it is a given that the favourites were killed by Stanford.

And the tape of the game also appeared on the desks of all NBA general managers, and for the NBA, the significance of this game is not only that Stanford has become the biggest dark horse in the NCAA this year. The greater significance is... There's another amazing point guard.

But when they watched the game. The vast majority of the general managers chose to shake their heads, this game is full of too many surprises from a professional point of view, this is not a victory in the conventional sense, in terms of strength, North Carolina with Marvin Williams, Sean May, McCantz, and Felton is undoubtedly several notches stronger.

However, Lady Luck chose to kiss Stanford's forehead, especially the Chinese kid.

"Indeed, this guy is great. Intelligent, big-pictured, skillful on the dribble, accurate in passing, and very tenacious. But... He couldn't adapt to the intensity of the NBA, neither physically nor physically, he couldn't withstand the NBA's impact. Jerry West, the general manager of the Lakers, said to Kupchak and Harry Sr., who highly recommend Zhou Zheng: "Trust me, I won't look away. ”

Now that the general manager has said that, what else can anyone else say? You can't slap the table and debate with him.

At the same time, the rest of the league's general managers are basically Jerry West's attitude. They don't even want to continue to observe, because at a glance, they know that this slender body can't withstand collisions in the NBA, which is the most obvious thing, and they can't even pass the first level, do they still need to continue to understand?

Zhou Zheng apparently didn't know that he had attracted the attention of the NBA.

He hadn't thought that far ahead, and when he returned to California, he was in new trouble.

Zhou Zheng went to a small fan concert for Avril Lavigne, where she will sing songs from her new album, which is what is equivalent to a promotional event.

So, when the concert ended, many reporters came up to interview. After chatting about some musical issues, Avril called Zhou Zheng to the stage.

"This is my brother, a super rookie in the NCAA, who has scored two opponents in a row in 10 days. But he also has an identity, which is Lindsay Lohan's so-called boyfriend. ”

"I've seen through the machinations of Lindsay Lohan and their agency. They just want to use my brother's healthy and fresh image to wash away those stains on Lindsay Lohan, just look at their recent publicity. They actually started to build Lindsay Lohan into a sports sunshine girl. ”

"I'm here, and I have to emphasize... Lindsay Lohan is not my brother's girlfriend at all, and she has caused a great deal of distress to my brother's life. So, I'm here to ask you to get this real news out there and stop letting those people swindle. ”

Avril made a statement for Zhou Zheng with righteous words.

Then, the reporters began to ask Zhou Zheng questions.

This was Zhou Zheng's first interview with reporters, and he seemed slightly nervous.

"It's true that I'm not boyfriend and girlfriend with Lindsay Lohan, and the news reports have caused a lot of trouble in my life. ”

But as the conversation progressed, the tension was diluted, and he even joked: "I hope Lindsay Lohan will stop this infringement because... I really need to find a girlfriend. You know, I'm right now a basketball star on campus, and that's when it's easiest for me to find a girlfriend. But now because of Lindsay Lohan's relationship, the girls aren't going to date me. This ruined my good time!"

"I don't have any superfluous opinions about Lindsay Lohan, and from what I've done with her, she doesn't seem to be as bad as rumored to be. It's just that her IQ is not particularly high, she is easily impulsive, and she is not good at controlling her emotions. That's exactly what Zhou said about Lindsay Lohan.

Zhou is very sincere in whitewashing Lindsay Lohan, but his whitewashing does not seem to have any positive effect, after all, his IQ is not high, he is easily impulsive, and he is not good at controlling his emotions, which doesn't sound like a positive evaluation!

Is this in premium black?

The entertainment media's favorite thing to report is probably tearing, and the significance of this news is not only the tearing of the two film stars and the music superstar, but also the slap in the face of a top student from Stanford University.

So, soon, this matter was widely disseminated, and even all kinds of oil and vinegar were added.

Lindsay Lohan's reputation in the media is not very good, so everyone likes to report about her being slapped in the face.

When Zhou Zheng saw the report on TV, he was a little surprised...... It seems that the media exaggerated their words more than tenfold.

Lindsay Lohan shouldn't have been traumatized by this, right?

Zhou Zheng suddenly blamed himself, he felt that Lindsay Lohan was not so bad, and he had not hurt himself. After her remarks are processed and amplified by the media, they will obviously have a great negative effect on her.

"I don't know why she said that. Lindsay Lohan soon cried on TV, like an abandoned resentful woman: "I should have known that the family element would ruin our relationship." Avril wouldn't say nice things about me in front of him. ”

Lindsay Lohan is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, she was asked by a reporter about it after a movie promotion event, she shed tears and cried extremely sadly.

Tears are always a woman's lethal weapon.

So, although everyone was still laughing at Lindsay Lohan's self-inflicted sentimentality last second. The next second was immediately moved by her tears and the stories she made up.

In the story made up by Lindsay Lohan, she and Zhou Zheng became a lover who were together due to a misunderstanding, and Avril became the witch who beat the mandarin ducks.

This must be a story made up by the brokerage team behind her, and her IQ is not so great. Zhou Zheng looked at the TV and burst into tears Lindsay Lohan: "However, the acting skills are good." ”

"Cheap woman, next time you see her, hit her once. Avril gritted her teeth hard.

Obviously, Avril didn't like her place in Lindsay Lohan's story.

When Avril was angry, Zhou didn't dare to touch the moldy head. He quickly went out and went to the stadium for training.

The next quarter-final at Stanford is in a very difficult situation, and they will face the top seed... University of Connecticut. This school is home to two superstars...... Pretty much the most dominant inside and outside combination in the NCAA. Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon.

Okafor is even believed to have locked in the No. 1 pick ahead of time, and top scorer Ben Gordon is also thought to be a strong contender for the top five picks. It's hard not to think of such an inside-outside combination as the Lakers OK combination that dominates the NBA.

Although Stanford's victory over the University of North Carolina has received a lot of attention and attention in the NCAA, the... Everyone still thinks that they have almost no chance of beating the University of Connecticut.

Sani agrees with this.

So, she basically didn't do any specific training, she kept insisting that the lads were doing a good enough job and not putting any pressure on them.

The same goes for Walsh Anthony, who personally drove the Crimson lads to the airport to pick them up when they returned from North Carolina, and he praised the team and especially Zhou Zheng along the way. At this moment, he had already thrown the previous idea of expelling Zhou Zheng to Java. Even when Sani quipped about whether he wanted to kick Zhou Zheng out of the team, he blushed. Obviously, he apologized for his previous error in judgment.

He also emphasized to Zhou Zheng more than once that he would definitely apply for a full basketball scholarship for Zhou Zheng.

The school board also agreed.

However, Zhou Zheng thinks that this award should be given to Leon Bob, a black kid who usually talks a lot, and his family situation is not very good, compared to the rest of the team members are basically from middle-class families, he is obviously more in need of this help.

Zhou Zheng's move moved Leon Bob very much, and Sani even publicly praised Zhou Zheng for his outstanding contribution to uniting his teammates.

However, Zhou Zheng is obviously not used to this kind of praise and commendation.

After he finished speaking, he took over: "I don't have any noble feelings, I'm just too rich in my family. You know I have tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money every month. Therefore, it would be a better encouragement for me if the school board introduced me to two girlfriends. ”

"I didn't give it to Leon Bob for any other reason, it's just that I think he wouldn't borrow my car again when he went on a date with his girlfriend in the future, and God knows if he did anything kid-friendly in my car. It's time for him to buy a car of his own. ”

Zhou Zheng's joke wiped out the solemn atmosphere of this commendation meeting, and Sani seemed helpless, she had nothing to do about Zhou Zheng's cynicism.

Leon Bob is more grateful to Zhou Zheng in his heart, and he doesn't like this kind of commendation meeting, although Zhou Zheng did give the scholarship to himself, but... This kind of form will increase your psychological burden.

No one likes to be openly discussed, that they have received a favor from others.

Zhou Zheng's joke diluted the serious atmosphere of the commendation meeting, and also diluted Leon Bob's inferiority complex and embarrassment.

So he is really, really grateful from the bottom of his heart to this cynical-looking rich second generation.

"I have to emphasize that I hate the rich second generation very much. But you were an accident. Leon Bob said this to Zhou Zheng very seriously.

"You're thinking too much. "Zhou Zhengcai was too lazy to be hypocritical with Leon Bob.

Stanford Arena welcomed the University of Connecticut on Thursday afternoon, and the team came with a strong murderous spirit. They are bound to advance to the quarterfinals, and Ben Gordon and Emeka Okafor have decided to participate in this year's draft, and they don't plan to join professional basketball as underdogs.

So, the championship is their only pursuit right now.

Zhou Zheng looked very uncomfortable in this game, because Lindsay Lohan walked into the Stanford arena with his bodyguards before the game started, and then sat behind the home team's bench...... Her arrival brought cold air with low pressure.

This made Zhou Zheng uncomfortable.

Sani has also asked Walsh more than once why there are irrelevant people in the back of the bench.

Walsh was rather helpless: "It's not something I can control, it's in the hands of other departments." ”

Lindsay Lohan seems to have been born with the temperament of a broom star, and his arrival did not bring good luck to Zhou Zheng. Instead, Zhou Zheng completely disappeared from this game, and he fell into the entanglement of the small point guard at the University of Connecticut.

This small point guard was specially arranged by Kang Da to keep an eye on Zhou Zheng, who is fast, strong and energetic. He also had a strange furrow hairstyle, which made Zhou Zheng very uncomfortable. This discomfort is similar to Iverson meeting Tyronn Lue in the '01 Finals.

However, Iverson blew up Tyronn Lue with a score three years ago and crossed his body in the first game...... This picture has even become a totem.

However, Zhou Zheng did not do this like his idol Iverson, and his scoring ability was simply too pitiful. Although he hit two kills in half a month, he still knew six out of seven when it came to shooting.

In the end, Zhou Zheng, who played 7 minutes, only scored 4 assists and 4 turnovers. Stanford also lost the quarter-finals as expected.

Although losing is expected.

But Zhou Zheng is still quite unhappy, and no one likes to lose.

I don't care how strong your opponent is.

Zhou Zheng returned to the locker room with a dangerous low air pressure with his head down, and after taking a shower, he left the stadium without saying a word. Compared to his teammates who still talk and laugh around him, he is the exception.

"Tiger, you have to get used to accepting failure, it's not your fault. Sani chased after her, feeling that her protΓ©gΓ© needed a little psychological intervention.

"No, I'm never used to failing. There will always be a win between the two teams, 50 percent of the time, and I hope that the one who wins is me, always me. Zhou Zheng's expression was very cold: "Don't tell me how strong the opponent is, these things are not enough to comfort me." ”

"I'm definitely going to make a comeback. ”

Zhou Zheng got into the black mustang, and then stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.

Sani watched the black mustang gallop away with the roar of the engine, his brow furrowed, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

The sun was still hot at half past four in the afternoon in Los Angeles, and Sani stood in the sun for a long time.

She thought of someone over and over again.

Kobe bryant!
