Chapter 68: Tiger, Thank You (Part 3)

"Tiger is amazing, I have to say, he's the best player I've ever seen on the ball. www.biquge.info He's become Portland's pride!I'm glad we were able to draft him in the No. 5 pick, it's the greatest draft ever done in Portland, there's no one!" The Oregon TV host had gone crazy and he yelled on the public platform: "It's time to tell the world that Rose Garden has a new owner, and he's Tiger!!He's from Stanford, and he's going to lead us to glory." He's a top student, so we're not a prison team!"

In fact, he was just a microcosm of the thousands of Portland fans, and at the moment when Zhou Zheng shook TJ Ford, countless fans jumped up in front of the TV, and many even patted their chests and swore by it...... It's the greatest basketball footage they've ever seen!

"Yes, he's the greatest draft decision the Trail Blazers have ever made. His arrival has given the Trail Blazers a new look, and he's already turning around the image of the Portland Prison Team, with all the young players rallying around him and his passing giving the fragile collective a breath of life. ”

Basketball commentator Terrell Brandon, as a point guard, analyzed the ball from a professional point of view: "Tiger's swing is very 'street', his backspin rebound ball is the focus of the whole shaker, and his movement corresponds to TJ Ford's wrist-flipping 'pause', but he is more advanced, he controls the direction of the basketball's movement." After shaking down T.J. Ford, he handed the ball to Stephen Blake, who told everyone with his actions that it was a conscious act of revenge and that he helped Stephen Blake complete his revenge. Then, he crossed over from TJ Ford's body, which was the most-for-tat way. ”

"TJ Ford is very ungraceful, he can't afford to lose more than Andre Bogut. He actually tried to make trouble with Tiger, and if he was on the street, he would definitely be the laughing stock of everyone. ”

Terrell Brandon was very dismissive of TJ Ford in his rhetoric: "If you have made a provocation, you should be prepared to suffer double humiliation." ”

At the same time that Terrell Brandon released taunts to TJ Ford on TV, Zhou Zheng finally finished communicating with the referee, he returned to the bench, and Travis immediately came over to give him a strong high-five, and everyone's emotions became excited because of this crazy shaking man, although he was still behind at this time. However, morale and blood have returned to them. They even developed a mood ... As long as Tiger is around, there will be hope for the game.

This emotion arises because subconsciously they have made Zhou Zheng the leader.

"It's a good sign. McMillan looked at it all with a smile.

The chemistry of the Trail Blazers bench is very good. There was an altercation on the Bucks' side, and Joe Smith looked excited when he slapped his thigh after TJ Ford was shaken down, and for gamblers, the moment with the lowest probability of hitting the ball was even more exciting for them than winning the championship.

When the head coach asked for a timeout, TJ Ford returned to the bench with a grim face, he was still pulling the next Danga Zuric and chattering: "Gambling is a very talented thing, you have to have a keen insight, strong courage and the spirit of not being afraid ......to lose, why can I press and you can't?

"That's enough!" TJ Ford couldn't take it anymore, and he thought every word that came out of Joe Smith's mouth was sarcasm and humiliation for himself: "You don't have to be so complacent, one day I'll rub salt in your wounds!"

"What are you yelling at?" Joe Smith also had a temper tantrum: "Is it an honorable thing to be shaken down? I won't indulge you, don't try to provoke me, you won't like the way I get angry." ”

"Shut up!" When the situation was about to escalate, head coach Tristotts finally couldn't stand the tit-for-tat between the two anymore and calmed the bench with a louder voice. Then a new arrangement was made, Morris Williams got his chance to play, and Danga Zuric also took off his coat... Both Joe Smith and T.J. Ford were thrown to the end of the bench.

With just over a minute left, Coach Stotts didn't want to repeat the experience he had in the first quarter, so he clapped his hands vigorously to remind his players that they had to pick up the pace.

Stotts put Gazuric on the court as a center, a purely small lineup that prevented the Trail Blazers' run-gun tactics.

However... After the timeout, McMillan put the tallest man in the Rose Garden Arena up...... The big hippo from South Korea finally got a chance to play.

"It's... Don't play according to the routine!" Stotts was a little frustrated, but at this point it was better to call another timeout, which would make him look particularly unconfident.

Although the big hippo was slow to act, because it was a half-court serve, it gave him plenty of time to return to the penalty area.

When Gazuric came to his side, he suddenly had a feeling of obscuring the sky and the sun, the lights were blocked, and he hurried outside, he didn't want to carry the big giant in the forbidden area.

Mo Williams struggled with his runs from the outside, but eventually ran out of patience...... His brain capacity does not allow himself to do such a complicated thing.

He chose to play Zhou Zheng alone, and when he rushed to the free throw line with his head stuffy, he made a stop-and-go jump shot... Bang!

The big hippo reached out and took off the rebound, and then handed it to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng pushed the attack slowly, and he played very patiently.

Morris Williams was also very patient, he didn't dare to reach out for a steal anymore, and the image of TJ Forde being dangled on the court gave him a profound reminder that he didn't want to mess with this madman.

After the big hippo walked into the box with a slow, clumsy pace, Zhou Zheng began to break through, and breaking through Mo Williams is always an easy thing to do.

When Zhou Zheng rushed into the penalty area, after attracting Gazuric's defense, he handed the basketball player to the big hippo, and the big hippo let go lightly...... Bang!

It was put on the neck of the basket.

Zhou Zheng almost died of anger.

Thankfully, Darius Myers was alert and jumped in time to put the basketball into the basket.

McMillan shook his head from the sidelines, muttering to himself, "This guy can't be gigantism." He looks weird and looks stupid. ”

He had planned to let Ha Seung go up and control the rebounds and strengthen the offensive threat in the box under Zhou Zheng's pass. However, judging from the current situation... This guy is good for nothing but his height.

Bang!

Michael Reid misses a jumper attempt.

Darius Myers picked up the rebound and hurriedly handed it to Zhou Zheng. There are only 9 seconds left until halftime.

It's too late to wait for the big hippopotamus.

Zhou Zheng launched a fast attack, cut straight into the box, and put the basketball into the basket with a wonderful pull rod under Bobby Simmons' defense.

The Bucks rushed to serve, but Williams' shot from the midline couldn't replicate the magic of Zhou Zheng's late first quarter, and the basketball missed the basket.

67:62。

The Milwaukee Bucks lead by five points heading into the locker room.

Despite falling behind, Trail Blazers fans aren't worried at all. Tiger has already proved his ability to chase points in the final minutes of the second quarter of the game, and there is a whole second half to come, so what's the hurry.

"You don't have to go back to the locker room. As he left the court, McMillan said to Ruben Patterson, "Stay on the bench and have a beer or Sprite, whatever you like." ”

Ruben Patterson was stunned, he didn't expect McMillan to isolate himself to this point.

He tried to speak, but McMillan turned around.

Alone on the bench, several bench players got up and went to the court to practice shooting while they awaited the head coach's call-up for the second half.

Looking at the substitutes on the pitch who were trying to warm up for playing time, Ruben Patterson couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship.

He knew he would never get a chance to play in a Trail Blazers jersey again.

He leaned back in his chair and suddenly felt a little sad: "I didn't expect to leave in such a way." ”

In the locker room at this time, Travis Outlaw was shouting loudly: "I didn't expect you to kneel TJ Ford in that way." Tiger, that ball is sure to be the top 10 of the top 10 balls tonight. ”

"No, the top 10 of tonight's best shots should be Stephen, he hit that three-pointer, he's the scorer!"

"Hahahaha, Stephen, you should have carried two more shots at that time. In this way, the Tiger was also deprived of assists. ”

"But you can't deprive Australians of the memories of the tiger's crotch. He will definitely be like Lindsay Lohan, unable to extricate himself. ”

"Darius, that's a perfect metaphor, I can't believe that high school students have such a bright moment. ”

"you. It's not like I can't get into college, I just want to become a millionaire sooner. ”

“…………”

Without Patterson's spoiler, there was laughter in the Portland locker room, and tonight's game made the lads feel heartfelt.

"Tiger, thank you. Stephen Blake found an opportunity, he came to Zhou Zheng's side, and thanked him very sincerely.

……

[The third shift is delivered, and there are two more. Sorry, it's late. I also want to change it sooner, but I can't write a word during the day. Alas!]
