Chapter 3: The Fortune Teller Appears

Oracle Stadium in Oakland, California, USA, today is the Golden State Warriors' 2008-2009 season debut.

Today they will host their first opponent of the season, the Charlotte Hornets, on their home turf.

Maybe that's nothing special for everyone at the moment. But when people look back many years from now, they will understand that they witnessed the beginning of a miracle on this day.

When Jessica walked into Oracle Stadium, she was still ignorant. She really can't think of any connection between Zheng Zhi and the NBA.

He's an economics student at the University of California, Berkeley, he finished his studies at the age of 20, he can play music, yes, he writes songs for Linkin Park, okay, Jessica said I'm a little dizzy and admit it, but, what the hell is the basketball draft!

And when she walked into the court, she heard others explain that today it was not a draft at all, but an NBA regular season debut.

Does this have anything to do with Zheng Zhi?

Jessica felt that the staff member must have made a mistake, but she found her seat anyway and sat down.

Look what the hell he's doing, if he doesn't show up at all, then, hmph, dare to leave this girl to be chic by herself, this revenge must be avenged!

Soon the players from both sides entered the pitch, and Jessica said that she was a little short of her brain and eyes. The Asian standing in the Warriors' roster can't be Zheng Zhi! But that look, that height, that hairstyle, why is it exactly the same as Zheng Zhi?

What's wrong with the world? Am I delirious? It's so subversive, who can tell me what the hell happened? At this moment, Jessica's heart is broken! She hated to immediately arrest Zheng Zhi in front of her, and torture him clearly, how many secrets did he have?

The Cal TV commentator impassionedly began the introduction of the Warriors' status lineup for the new season: "Today is the Golden State Warriors' 2008-2009 season debut, and just today, the Warriors have a new member to the Warriors family! Let's welcome the 2008 rookie, Zheng! Straight! ”

The narrator continued: "The rookie wore the No. 4 jersey and he unexpectedly appeared on the starting lineup! ”

"Yes, it's a surprise that the rookie was drafted by the Warriors with the 14th pick in the first round this year, and his draft pick is very good, and he is also quite good in the college league table! It's just that his height and his Asian physique make many teams conservative! ”

"Either way, hopefully this newcomer will bring a different change to the Warriors!"

When Zheng Zhi was actually standing on the court, and everyone around him was cheering, Jessica was somewhat convinced that it wasn't a prank.

She looked at Zheng Zhi standing in the middle circle in disbelief, not only her, but most of the audience looked at the inner circle in surprise, confronting a group of giants (relative to Zheng Zhi) opposite.

"What, how could that little man scramble for the ball! Is there no one left for the Warriors? Some fans looked at others blankly, hoping to get an answer, but unfortunately, as a complete newcomer to the NBA, almost most people don't know Zheng Zhi.

The whistle sounded, and Zheng Zhi jumped a little later!

"Wow!" The audience exclaimed in unison!

I saw Zheng Zhi's relatively short figure surpassing half of the crowd and waving his hand and hitting the ball!

When he landed, the audience burst into applause! This bouncing, God!

When the game officially began, it was obvious that Zheng Zhi seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the game, and even Jessica, a layman, felt that he was a little out of harmony with the whole team.

Soon the first quarter ended, and the Warriors temporarily took the lead, but Zheng Zhibiao was mediocre, and it can even be said that it was a little poor.

Jessica herself didn't realize that she was fully engaged in the game, or rather, her eyes were always on Zheng Zhi. He didn't even leave for a moment.

When Zheng Zhi walked to the rest area, the coach stepped forward to talk to him. Zheng Zhi nodded from time to time.

The second quarter of the game begins!

"The Warriors had the ball, the ball was given to No. 4, No. 4 to divide the ball! The ball is in! Oh my God, it's amazing, this is Zheng Zhi's fourth assist in this quarter, he seems to know in advance that Andris will be there, this point can really be said to be a god. It was so unexpected that the rhythm of the whole game was completely controlled by No. 4. He didn't seem to be the same person as the rookie in the first section. It was such a surprise that everyone who didn't watch today's game will regret it, it was a pretty amazing rookie debut! ”

The California TV announcer did not hesitate to praise his newcomer. I heard the fans in front of the TV. I just believe that if it were a Wasp fan who listened to it, he would probably scold his mother!

Jessica didn't know the greatness of assists, but she was so happy when she heard people cheering Zheng Zhi's name, like they were complimenting her. When the second quarter ended, the entire Oracle Arena felt like a holiday.

Jessica's gaze was still fixed on Zheng Zhi, and her soft eyes seemed to have water flowing.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Hornets obviously made tactical adjustments to Zheng Zhi, restricting Zheng Zhi from taking the ball, and also strengthening the defense.

It's just that Zheng Zhi doesn't play as a scorer, he controls the rhythm more. As much defense against him weakened the restraint on others, the Hornets were undoubtedly in trouble.

"The Hornets are a bit of a mess, and they don't have such a point guard in their set-up at all. Now they have to rely more on Paul and hope he can save the whole team. ”

"Steal! Completely unexpected steals, the number 4 really gave us too many surprises today, full of wisdom to divide the ball, and steals without a trace. He really doesn't look like a rookie anymore. Although this is only his first game in the NBA, I seem to be seeing a superstar on the rise! ”

"This is the first game of the NBA 2008-2009 regular season, against the Golden State Warriors and the Charlotte Hornets, the Warriors are currently leading by 10 points, there are only five minutes left in the clock, steals, another steal! This is the seventh steal of the Warriors' No. 4 player in this game, Zheng took the ball, Paul came up, oh, Paul hit someone and fouled! The referee gave a penalty! ”

"It's so unexpected that this game has almost become a rookie player's individual show, this kind of ball, assist, steal, the Hornets have completely lost the rhythm of the game. Let's take a look at the Warriors No. 4 player Zheng Zhi's 14 points in this game, 9 assists, 8 steals, four rebounds, and 2 blocks, which is really a pretty beautiful set of numbers, No. 4 player may still be a complete newcomer to everyone, he is Zheng Zhi, born in 88, 188 tall, 90kg, from San Francisco, California, graduated from Berkeley University this year and participated in the draft, and was selected by the Warriors with the 14th pick in the first round. He has the precision of a soothsayer, he can always pass the ball to the right place, he always does not make a mark when he makes tackles, and he always suddenly appears in the most undodgable angle when defending, which makes him feel like a soothsayer. Maybe he'll become a wonder player after the magician, and he'll be a soothsayer! ”

When the final whistle sounded, the entire Oracle Stadium was boiling, this was an unexpected game, and those present had a faint premonition that they seemed to have witnessed the beginning of some miracle today!

And Jessica cheered with the people around her, she shouted Zheng Zhi's name, without a trace of artist reserve, and she didn't care about being ridiculed by Zheng Zhi and her sister, her heart was overflowing with admiration and joy for this boy's miraculous behavior at the moment!

And all Golden State Warriors fans recognized this pink newcomer, who was a short little guy on the court, and he conquered the fans of this team.

From today on, this nickname called soothsayer has been with Zheng Zhi for a long time, until he reached the peak, until he was in a different legend after the peak.

At this time, Zheng Zhi didn't know this, he was surrounded by excited teammates, and hugged them tightly.

When Zheng Zhi left with his teammates and the fans gradually dispersed, Jessica suddenly thought of a question.

He seems to be going to a competition, so does he still have time to record the song for himself?

It seems that if you are too good, you are destined to be farther and farther away, thinking of this, the girl who is very ignorant seems to suddenly understand the turbulent love path, and it seems that she has grown up in an instant, and there is a little more resentment and melancholy of the girl.

That year, a girl named Jessica first fell in love, and she found the emotions hidden in the depths of her memory in a distant foreign homeland (by this time, Jessica's family had been living in Korea for many years), when she was twenty years old and just an adult. And this relationship seems so far away, so ungraspable.
