"There are more and more female viewers buying season tickets. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Anne, a newly recruited intern, complained to Lambert, the sales supervisor next to her, "These women don't really love basketball at all, they are here for Tiger." ”

Lambert put down the phone in his hand, and he smiled and looked at Anne, thinking to himself, aren't you the same?

"MTV's Lucia is the worst female streamer I've ever met, and she's hyped up on TV that Tiger is single. Anne was disgruntled: "Even the pimples on Tiger's face can be her talking point...... She even swore that it was because of the endocrine disorder caused by no ***, which was really hateful. ”

Lambert rolled his eyes, he really couldn't understand the distress of the new hire, he felt incompetent.

Then, he gets a call to buy tickets, and a lady named Scarlett has bought the best front-row VIP season ticket in Rose Garden.

"There are just too many rich women in Oregon. ”

Lambert sighed leisurely: "That's 280,000 dollars." ”

Anne on the side pursed her lips and said sourly: "Love is not something that money can buy. ”

Lambert glanced at Anne, who was full of freckles, and said cryptically: "In this world, the prince prefers to live with the princess." The probability of Cinderella wearing a glass slipper is zero......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng's voice came from outside the office: "Guys, you are working hard." I just passed by a Chinese-owned dessert shop, and I bought 100 servings of mung bean sweet soup, would you like some?"

Zhou Zheng greeted the staff warmly: "Hey, Lambert, put down your damn phone, I need your help." ”

Lambert had never seen such a gracious superstar, and the rest of the Portland players wouldn't have come to the office to pay their respects to the staff.

Lambert used to help Zhou Zheng distribute mung bean soup to every staff member in the office.

Then, Zhou Zheng took the sweet soup to the public relations department.

"He always took care of everyone around him. ”

Lambert said with a smile.

"He seems to have more pimples on his face. Anne was concerned with a different question: "I think he really needs a woman." ”

Lambert looked at Anne's eager appearance and muttered in his heart: "Don't dream, *** can't be your turn." ”

Zhou Zheng doesn't care about acne on his face, although he knows that many women are concerned about their endocrine, and every time he comes home from the training gym, the car will be plastered with a lot of notes with phone numbers, and even sexy photos attached.

The doorman of the training hall, Couberto, stressed to Zhou Zheng more than once: "You really should find a girlfriend." ”

"Every day at eight o'clock there are a lot of girls at the door, they come to see you, and they are shouting so loudly, I always remind them that this is not a concert. ”

In this regard, Zhou Zheng could only smile bitterly. He had reiterated many times that he was now only in relationships with women who could walk into the wedding hall. He didn't want to get hurt from love anymore.

Zhou Zheng's concern now is that in the latest ESPN rankings, his position is placed at No. 88.

That is, there are 87 stars ahead of him. Zach Randolph and Darius Myers on the Trail Blazers are far above him.

"I don't really agree with this ranking. Zhou Zheng told reporters: "However, I think 88 is a good number, and Chinese like it." ”

Zhou Zheng replied very gently, but he was holding back a lot of strength in his heart.

Time always flies.

Pre-season is here in the blink of an eye.

During this time, the Trail Blazers players were actively exercising in training camp...... Or positive weight loss. Except for young players such as Zhou Zheng, Roy, and Aldridge, the rest of the players are all pot-bellied images, and Miles is even swollen like an army chef, without the momentum of a flying team.

In the first preseason game against the Knicks, Zhou Zheng started and played 8 minutes, scoring 9 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds on 3-of-9 shooting, and then sat on the bench.

The game is more about finding the form of Randolph and others, as well as integrating the rookies into the tactical system.

The best player of the night was Brandon Roy, who worked seamlessly with the Trail Blazers' playbook. He scored 22 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in the game, which was surprisingly comprehensive. Although he is suspected of having too much possession of the ball, he is very mature and smart enough to be selfless at the same time.

McMillan was a little impressed with him.

"Brandon has a very mature style of play and a well-rounded skill set, and he has the potential to be a star defender. I have high hopes for him, and he hopes that he will be able to be Scott Pippen next to Tiger. ”

McMillan admired Brandon Roy, but ultimately split his priorities.

He didn't want to give Brandon Roy another hint.

In the second preseason game, McMillan changed his tactics, putting Brandon Roy and Zhou Zheng in the starting lineup at the same time.

But the chemistry was lost all of a sudden, Brandon Roy needed to control the ball, and Zhou Zheng needed to control the ball, and in very different ways. Brandon Roy is a very veteran and patient player, and when he gets a basketball, he spends seven or eight seconds pulling back and forth to test the opponent's defensive perimeter and then make the right choice. But Zhou Zheng is a vigorous and resolute personality, killing the opponent's defense in the blink of an eye, and then walking away.

It is impossible to comment on which of the two is better.

"Be honest, Nate. Brandon's style of play is more in line with your tactical system, and you're not a run-and-gun coach at all. Aren't you building in the direction of the San Antonio Spurs or the Detroit Pistons?"

Pritchard had been egging on Nate McMillan, and he wasn't at all happy that McMillan had stabbed the argument in the office to Larry Miller. But apparently the president trusted him more tactically, so he decided to get McMillan to change his mind.

His words hit McMillan's heart. His team-building idea is more inclined to the Spurs model, and Brandon's age-old and serious style of play is indeed very much in line with his original intention.

But... Zhou Zhengke is his descendant.

"Nope. Tiger is more than just a run-and-gun player. ”

McMillan categorically dismissed Pritchard's instigation and resolutely replaced Brandon Roy, leaving Zhou Zheng alone to control the half-court position.

Zhou Zheng is good at quick attacks, but he also dabbles in the half-court position.

However, teammates couldn't throw the basketball into it.

The Chicago Bulls on the opposite side gave the Trail Blazers a lot of trouble defensively, and the court veterans who had not yet been taken out of vacation were completely unable to withstand the fierce pressing of their opponents.

In the end, at the United Center Arena, he was defeated.

No one pays attention to the outcome of the preseason.

However, reporters were discussing what Zhou Zheng had discussed with Klaus after the game, and the two stood in the corner of the court and chatted passionately for 20 minutes after the game.

Before Zhou Zheng joined the NBA, everyone already knew Klaus's covetousness for Zhou Zheng. Even the swap deal between the Trail Blazers and the Bulls on this year's draft night was considered to have a positive element...... Portlanders have always thought Klaus wasn't well-intentioned.

"He introduced me to some acne products, and he told me that he also had a lot of acne when he was younger. ”

Zhou Zheng sat at the press conference after the game and answered reporters' questions very honestly.

"You need a girlfriend, not an acne product. A reporter from Chicago Honest Man told Zhou Zheng frankly: "Illinois women are the sexiest in America, and you should come to Chicago to play." ”

His words caused a burst of laughter, and Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly, which had become a common topic since the pimples appeared on his forehead. Whether it's the entertainment media or the sports media, they like to talk about it.

Even MTV conducted a survey, and they sent out more than 1,000 questionnaire reports, and the final conclusions were ...... Little Tiger will definitely not be willing to be lonely, and he will definitely find a new girlfriend in three months.

"Let's talk about the game. ”

Zhou Zheng said helplessly to reporters.
