Chapter 9: The Source of Anger
Swish!
Little Tiger came out on top outside the three-point line, and in the last ten games, he was able to throw in an average of 1.5 three-pointers per game, with a shooting rate of nearly 34 percent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jeff Van Gundy has a long-standing feud with Little Tiger, and their first encounter was full of gunpowder.
Now, we meet again.
It's just that something a little different from before is that Little Tiger is at the shooting guard position tonight.
He gave Tracy Maddy the most direct alignment with Tiger Cub.
"I'd like to know more about the Dallas Mavericks. The Tigers kept trying to talk to Tracy Maddy about the '05 playoffs when he was playing against him: "You're both teams in the Southwest and we've met in the first round of the playoffs. Can you give us some advice?"
Zhou Zheng communicated with Maddie very sincerely. He didn't want to make a fuss about this inconsequential game, where the fame of both sides was already decided, and who won or lost would have no impact on the playoffs.
However, Zhou Zheng's words inexplicably stimulated Tracy Maddie, and he even thought that Little Tiger was sarcastic about himself.
It turned out that in the 04-05 season, that is, the first year of Maddie's joining the Rockets, he teamed up with Yao Shu to reach the playoffs, and took a 2-0 lead on the road, and everyone thought that there was no doubt about entering the second round, including themselves. However, God did not meet people's wishes, and in the end, it was reversed by the Dallas Mavericks 4:3, which made Maddie's dream of breaking through the first round of the playoffs unfulfilled until now.
"My advice to you is ......"
Tracy Maddy replied sharply, "Give up this unrealistic dream." Don't waste your time on the game, you should be more focused on mingling with the Tiger Girls or releasing another best-selling album. ”
His tone made Little Tiger very uncomfortable to listen to.
Immediately, Tracy Maddy received a pass from Alstom, he condescendingly faced Zhou Zheng's defense, and suddenly pulled up, Zhou Zheng hurriedly blocked, but after all, the height difference was a cut, and he directly projected the basketball out... Swish!
"With this kind of defense, you still want to beat Dallas?"
Maddie's words were hard to hide the contempt.
Zhou Zheng didn't know why Tracy Maddie's words were prickly, and he was very uncomfortable listening to it.
Back in the half, he quickly jammed his position and then reached for the ball.
Kobe Bryant hit the ball to him, Maddy tried to steal around the front, but was easily grabbed by Zhou Zheng, then turned away, straight into the penalty area, and handed the ball to Bynum under Yao Shu's defense, Bynum hooked to score.
"That's how your defense is. ”
The little tiger sneered.
Maddy made a schoolboy mistake in this defence and his aggressive move left his backline completely missing.
Maddie snorted coldly and returned to half-time.
At the same time, watching the replay of Bynum's clumsy big hook in the box on the big screen overhead, Phil Jackson couldn't help but think of the little tiger's subtle little hook move...... When it comes to the playoffs, the Dallas people should be dumbfounded.
Yibian fought again, and the ball of the Rockets was handed over to Yao Shu, who easily crushed Bynum in the penalty area.
Bynum is still thin and thin, both offensively and defensively, just in its infancy.
And now... But he was going to take him to the playoffs to fight.
The problem of the inside line has always been a piece of Phil Jackson's heart...... He didn't think Bynum plus Kwame Brown would be able to take out Nowitzki plus Dampier.
Swish!
Kobe Bryant singled Sean Battier with his back, and even though Battier's hands were already on his face, they still couldn't stop the basketball from getting into the basket.
Next, Tracy Maddy singled Zhou Zheng, but the basketball was a little off.
Zhou Zheng assisted Kobe Bryant to score a layup on the baseline.
Yao Shu hit a mid-range jumper.
Bryant rushed into the box to create a foul.
The two teams come and go.
With half of the first quarter remaining, Van Gundy replaced Yao Shu early, and Phil Jackson also called Kobe Bryant back to the bench.
Neither head coach wants to cause any surprises at this juncture, so why not take it easy since the outcome of the final game has no impact on the playoffs?
At the same time, Adidas' two spokespersons competed.
Tracy Maddy came back from a timeout and arrived front with the ball on his own. Then facing the little tiger's defense, he bent down and lowered his center of gravity, and began to do a pendulum swing back and forth.
His shaking amplitude is very large, false and real, real and false, and extremely deceptive.
Tracy Maddy is a well-deserved top 10 player and can even finish in the top 5 when he gives it his all.
Now, he's giving it his all.
Before the game, he heard the news that Adidas handed over the only commercial spot in the playoffs to Little Tiger, and also learned that Adidas will grandly launch the signature shoes in the playoff color for Little Tiger.
This seriously robbed him of his exposure and market position.
This is a real damage to interests.
He was very upset.
So, he decided to clean up the little tiger in the game.
Not only to give Little Tiger a dismount, but also to let the executives of Adidas know... I'm still the superstar who can rule the pitch at will.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
The basketball is getting more and more intense.
Little Tiger didn't care about that, he just focused on Maddie's steps.
Yikes!
Suddenly, Maddie kicked her big foot to the left...... There was no fancy at all, and the exaggerated stride spanned half a body in an instant, and Zhou Zheng hurriedly turned around to pursue, but he was already half a beat behind...... Tracy Maddie's first step in the world is well deserved.
He led the little tiger's defense into the penalty area.
Zhou Zheng played with Bynum in the middle of the defense, and he hoped that Bynum could quickly eat the position of the three-second zone and form a barrier in front. As long as Tracy can't take off, then... He has a way to completely lock him in the depths of the forbidden area, so that he can't extricate himself.
However, Bynum seemed to be mistaken, and he actually took the initiative and slid directly forward to defend Maddie.
When he stepped forward, Zhou Zheng was eager to grab his head and rub it on the floor...... Did Abdul-Jabbar teach you for so long to make you defend like this? Do you think you're Bruce Bowen or Ragabel? You're on the inside line, you're a big guy, you're a big guy at seven feet three!
Syllable!
Tracy Maddy suddenly changed direction, directly shook Bynum who took the initiative away, and then jumped to the basket with a swift jump, Zhou Zheng wanted to chase... Bynum's body was already in front of him...... I wanted him to stop Maddie, but now it's better to stop himself.
Rumble!
Maddie roared above the basket.
"What qualifications do you have to shoot a commercial monograph?"
Tracy, who landed on the ground, poured out the resentment in his heart: "I am Adi's most powerful star." ”
Zhou Zheng finally understood the source of his anger.
He gritted his teeth hard, no matter what the reason was, Tracy's current invasion had seriously angered him, and his anger was already burning in his chest.
He turned around and yelled at Smash Parker, "Give me the ball!"
Smash Parker was slightly stunned, and then passed the basketball over.
Zhou Zheng quickly arrived in front of the court with the ball, Tracy Madty hurriedly stepped over, his lazy eyes became resolute, and he was more focused than he had ever been.
He knew that Little Tiger wanted to eat an answer-ball back, but he couldn't let him get his wish.
