"I know everybody was not optimistic about us coming to this win before the tournament because they were the defending champions, they had a great school history, they had NCAA superstars. These are all pieces of evidence that everyone has judged that we will accept defeat. ”

However, none of that was enough to justify the Crimson team's exit to the round of 64. Zhou Zheng sat at the post-match media conference and told every reporter present in a very firm tone: "We are not dark horses. We are the second seed in the PAC-12 division, we have won 25 consecutive games this season and we deserve a higher place than last season. ”

"That's what you should have written in your propaganda... The Crimson defeated defending champion UConn in an unstoppable trend. Of course, I suggest you use a label like Crimson Storm as well, it's pretty cool, and everyone who laughed at it was thrown in the trash this past season, including this game. ”

When asked by a reporter how to evaluate the University of Connecticut, Zhou Zheng finally did not remain as silent as before the game, and he launched a deadly sniping with his gentle words: "The University of Connecticut basketball team is a very great team, their school history is extremely brilliant, and they have produced many great stars, and I have great respect for them." However, there is a little bit of a problem... Their current players seem to have gotten used to lying on the credit books of the past and cocking their legs at other teams, which is not a good habit. ”

"I heard a lot of nasty rhetoric before the game, and I thought at one point there wouldn't be such vulgar players at a great institution like Connecticut, but then I saw the video interview and I confirmed that none of them were lip-syncing. It's a terrible thing, it's even scarier than losing, because there's a problem with the quality of their teaching. ”

"I don't want to comment on their remarks in detail, I just hope that UConn will be more strict in terms of admissions standards, and at the same time, I also hope that the UConn basketball team can improve the quality of the players while strengthening their training. I sincerely hope that they are getting better and better. Above. ”

Zhou Zheng is very elegant, more elegant than the reporters imagined.

And his words are impeccable, you know that he is mocking the Connecticut player, but you can't find a foothold to fight back, he occupies the awe-inspiring high ground of justice and criticizes in a condescending posture, what can the critic do but keep a wry smile?

Gentle violence!

This is the evaluation of Zhou Zheng's remarks by ESPN reporters in the report.

And in the media here in California, there is no such sour argument at all. Zhou is a well-deserved hero and the moral embodiment of justice, and they even rated Zhou Zheng as a moral model in their comments, believing that he could be unanimously elected as the winner of this year's Wooden Prize.

Recently, the Lakers' record has been sluggish, and it is almost impossible to declare that they will miss the playoffs. The Clippers' mass base has never been very good, and UCLA missed the round of 64 again this year.

Naturally, the Stanford Crimson team has become the home team of the California people, and Zhou Zheng, who was born out of nowhere, has naturally become a star player in California basketball and has received a lot of attention from basketball fans.

Especially in the territory of California, the base of Chinese is relatively the largest in North America.

"Shaw, Dunk Magazine said it was going to interview you. Sani said to Zhou Zheng after the press conference: "This is a great help for you to be selected for the show, which is probably one of the most authoritative basketball media in the United States." ”

"Now, I don't have time. ”

"Are you in a hurry to go on a date with Lindsay Lohan?" asked Sani deliberately, although she had a smile on her face, Zhou Zheng always felt that her smile seemed to hide a special embarrassment, very unnatural.

"Not a date. Zhou Zheng corrected Sani's wording: "Can you help me postpone their interview to Saturday or Sunday?"

"Of course, they were going to interview you on Saturday. ”

"Okay. You've been tricked again. ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at Sani angrily, and then waved at her: "I have to go." ”

"Be careful, a woman's instinct tells me there's something wrong with Lindsay Lohan tonight. ”

Sani's voice chased after him, but Zhou Zheng didn't take it seriously.

After Zhou Zheng's departure, Kangda's head coach accepted his last visit of the season, in which he gave Zhou Zheng a high evaluation: "There is no doubt that Tiger is NBA-level. His handling of basketball has matured, and his physical ability has improved a lot this year, and our backline has been completely taken out by him, and if our point guard is swapped with him, I can guarantee right away that UConn will be the champion this year. ”

"Oh. Is that what he said about Charlie? It's funny, I like children like this with needles in their hands, and they're very wise. Coach Kang did not make any remarks in response to Zhou Zheng's remarks, and it is clear that he does not want to continue to expand the matter.

However, Villanueva doesn't think so.

He announced three days after the game that he would be in the 2005 NBA Draft, and he told reporters: "I'm going to take this feud to the NBA, and I'm going to wait for him there." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't bother with what happened three days later, and after he left the arena that evening, he drove Lindsay Lohan to the familiar beach, and Lindsay Lohan told Zhou Zheng that she would often come here in a daze.

Zhou Zheng knew what she meant, so he didn't reply, he didn't want to make this embarrassing atmosphere even bigger.

However, the silence did not dilute the embarrassment.

Under the setting sun in California, the two sat under the shadow of palm trees facing the sea, Lindsay Lohan sat closer and closer, Zhou was trying to stop it, but Lindsay Lohan suddenly cried.

This made Zhou Zheng at a loss, he didn't know what to do with the woman's tears, so he could only let her lean on her shoulder and sobbed quietly.

The picture just stands still, and then time passes.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you asleep?" Zhou Zheng's voice broke through this calm, he really couldn't continue to hold on, he just sat motionless for more than forty minutes, he wanted to move his shoulders slightly... They were all a little numb by Lindsay Lohan's leaning.

Lindsay Lohan raised her head embarrassedly, and then the corner of her mouth pulled out a hara, which reflected a golden light in the light of the setting sun, as if a golden thread was pulling the bodies of the two.

Zhou Zheng didn't expect Lindsay Lohan's tears to turn into a ha, and he couldn't care about being disgusted, and laughed back and forth.

Lindsay Lohan was shy and timid, her face was full of embarrassment, and finally she couldn't stop laughing with Zhou Zheng.

"Don't tell anyone!" Lindsay Lohan took out a tissue and wiped the saliva from Zhou Zheng's shoulder, and issued a 'warning' to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng smiled and nodded.

"Shall we go to the movies?" said Lindsay Lohan suddenly.

"Watching a movie?"

"I know there's a good drive-in movie theater. ”

"Uh... But we haven't eaten yet. Zhou Zheng touched his belly, he felt a little hungry.

"We can buy some food and watch a movie while we eat, and by the way, it's better to buy another bottle of wine. ”

"Shelly......" Although Zhou Zheng wanted to refuse, he finally nodded: "Shelly is not in China yet, and it is boring to watch TV when I go back, so it is better to go to the movies." And what is a drive-in movie theater? It should be interesting. ”

Zhou Zheng wasn't clear about the concept of a drive-in movie theater, but he liked to try something new.

So, he hurriedly got up and drove Lindsay Lohan to a nearby Walmart, bought a lot of food, red wine and wine glasses, and then went to the drive-in movie theater under Lindsay Lohan's instructions.

At this time, Zhou Zheng didn't know that he was followed by a Toyota pickup truck, Zhou Zheng didn't realize that he had become a little celebrity in California, and he didn't realize that Lindsay Lohan next to him didn't even wear a mask.
