The next day, the major media in the United States only brought the news of the Lakers' promotion, but they were generally hung on "The Heat beat the Milwaukee Bucks, and Beasley God slashed 35 points and 10 rebounds!" Or "Double Shao Casino is powerful, and he scored 69 points to shoot down the rocket!" "It's not the back of the news of "Fengcheng welcomes the new master, and the roses are in full bloom".

But the American media doesn't think that they deliberately ignore Zhao Dashao, or discriminate against Chinese players, this does not exist, and the performance of Rose, Beasley, and Westbrook is not bad, you can score 50 points if you have the ability, and you can't even mention it at that time, so in the final analysis, you are not capable, so reflect on it.

Of course, this is in the United States, and if you turn your attention to China, it will be very different.

The eldest brother of the domestic sports media, "Sports Weekly", gave him a conspicuous news position in the basketball sector, although it is not a classified headline, but it is not far away.

"Basketball Herald" and "Basketball News", two newspapers and magazines specializing in basketball, as well as "Dunk", "Contemporary Sports" and a bunch of sports magazines that became popular with the help of Yao Ming and the NBA's Asian promotion, all prepared a lot of content for Zhao Dashao in the new issue, and even simply used his beautiful face and figure as covers.

Zhao Dashao said, "It's still stained with Brother Sun's light, otherwise how could CCTV broadcast the Lakers game live?" How did he get into the eyes of various media? In the end, how can you keep the honor coin rising? ”

He now even wants to be printed on the cover of an infertility advertisement, and all the small advertisements can use his image rights as he pleases, and he will never sue them in the short term.

The Lakers protested to the league the next day against the refereeing behavior of the last game, and the league also began to investigate the last game, but it was difficult to get a result in three or two days.

Zhao Dashao had other ideas in his heart, rather than taking revenge for this kind of thing, he hoped to earn more honor coins.

The Lakers' semifinal draw came out early the next morning, and they drew the Trail Blazers who beat the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies just beat the Lakers in the group stage not long ago, and now the Trail Blazers can beat the Grizzlies, so think about it from another perspective, the Lakers have basically GG in the eyes of the American media.

The Trail Blazers are really strong on paper, and they have a de facto first-year rookie on the inside, although I don't know how much he has recovered, but judging from last year's scouting report, Oden's talent and potential are in no way inferior to Durant.

But to be honest, Zhao Dashao doesn't know what the real talent of this product is?

The potential of Oden and Baias is one of the NBA's biggest suspense.

If these two people don't get hurt and don't GG, whether they can become All-Stars, or even supergiants, no one knows, and they can only rely on their scouting reports as a topic worth mentioning.

But even without Oden, the Trail Blazers who play in the Summer League have a bunch of future starters like Steve Blake, Jerry Bayless, Rudy Fernandez, Sergio Rodriguez, Nicholas Batum, and Channing Frye.

Zhao Dashao also feels that the Trail Blazers are not easy to deal with, his current competent helpers are only Ariza, Famar and Vujacic can only be counted as half, if he can't explode himself, and these three can't play their best, it will be difficult for the Lakers to beat the Trail Blazers.

But there is no time to prepare for them, and there will be no more than a day off in the summer league.

After the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves, they had to fight the Trail Blazers the day after tomorrow after a little rectification!

This kind of schedule just doesn't want to give you time to prepare, of course, the respective teams have nothing to prepare, the summer league is always based on training, and the players' own adjustment ability determines the outcome of the game.

The Trailblazers also attach great importance to Zhao Dashao, and after so many games, although the media always habitually ignores Zhao Shao, they can figure out who is the key person in this team as an opponent.

But how to limit this Chinese player, the coaching staff of the Trailblazers did not have much to do, because after video analysis, they found that Zhao Dashao could get so many breakthroughs and scoring opportunities, mainly relying on Lakers players to rush to block and cover him.

The positive energy of the Lakers players is incredible, just like the small-town man in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" who rushed to light a cigarette for the heroine.

So on the day of the game, the Trail Blazers decided to strangle the Chinese player with all their might, regardless of 3721.

As long as the Lakers players give him pick-and-roll and cover tonight, the Trail Blazers players will immediately wrap him up, and make sure that he can't be interspersed at will.

Their defense was successful, and Young Master Zhao didn't have a decent shot for most of the game, playing 36 minutes in the whole game, but only scored a pitiful 10 points.

However, the Trail Blazers coaching staff far overestimated the defensive ability of their players and underestimated Zhao's ability to break through the ball.

They can limit Young Master Zhao's scoring with a bag, but they can't limit his passing.

In this game, the Trail Blazers' defense was penetrated 18 times by Zhao Dashao, and the Lakers had a total of 8 double-doubles in the whole game, and finally defeated the Trail Blazers 114-103 and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals.

The Trail Blazers not only lost in the assist of Young Master Zhao, but their interior core Auden the Great has not been able to find his form after his comeback, and blind weight gain has made his mobility very clumsy, not only is the defensive end very prone to fouls and misplacement, but Oden, who has been injured since college, has also delayed the golden period of improving his skills.

Zhao Dashao found out that the technical level of this champion is not as good as that of college, but his physical fitness has decreased a lot, and he no longer has the strength of the champion at this time, and his athletic ability is only about seventy percent after continuous injuries.

If he suffers another serious injury in the future, especially if he is seriously injured again just after the previous major injury has healed, then not only will his athletic talent decline, but he will probably lose his talent for the NBA completely, which is the lethality of injury to genius.

Joseph met Young Master Zhao again after the game, and he found that interviewing other people was far less interesting than interviewing this Chinese, who only knew how to recite the same formula answers, or come up with two extremely boring cold jokes, how could Young Master Zhao's answers be interesting.

"Evan, congratulations on making it to the Western Conference Finals!"

"Thank you!"

"I think you're also well aware that a lot of people thought you couldn't get out of the group stage, but you made it to the Western Conference Finals, how did you do all that?"

"My strength comes from 'contempt'!"

When Joseph heard this, he immediately asked, "Then now you want to say something to these people who despise you?" ”

Zhao Dashao smiled slightly: "Of course, I think they can continue to despise my youth and despise my skin, but we will prove whose era this is." ”

Joseph didn't notice the detail of the word "we" and continued to ask: "Two and a half hours ago, the SuperSonics defeated the Kings, and the Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be the SuperSonics who are favored by everyone, are you confident that you can beat them?" ”

Zhao Dashao shook his head: "Confidence and opponents are not important, I play basketball just to win!" Even if it's a battle that people think they're going to lose, I just think about how to win it. ”

"Great answer, thank you for the interview."

"You're welcome, I enjoyed your interview and hope to see you during the regular season!"

Young Master Zhao's words when he was about to leave made Joseph very grateful, and this hand was very important!

If the Chinese-American player can play and he maintains a good relationship with him, then there is a good chance that he will be sent to cover Lakers games in the future.

Young Master Zhao said that "it was a matter of raising his hand", and he raised his hand entirely because Joseph had a tacit understanding with him.

As soon as he finished saying the sentence "But we will prove whose era this is", the backstage of the system immediately rose by more than 20 honorary coins, which means that tens of millions of Chinese people reacted well to his words.

But the side effects of this sentence are not small, if you use "I" will not be a problem, but using "we" is a bit of a point.

Of course, Young Master Zhao has figured out how to deal with the aftermath, this "we" is worthy of the Lakers!

After the Lakers players returned to the locker room, they didn't have to rush to wash up and leave this time, because the SuperSonics had beaten the Kings and now there were only two teams left in the West.

As soon as Jordan Famar saw Young Master Zhao, he immediately rushed up and slapped him with a high hand, and exclaimed excitedly: "Evan, we have really reached the division finals!" ”

Young Master Zhao's expression was very calm, and he said with a smile: "Our results are very good, but as long as we lose the next game, we will still be ridiculed by everyone." ”

Mbenga was sitting in a chair changing his equipment when he looked up and echoed, "Famar, have you forgotten?" Last year we were runners-up, but we got more ridicule than third and fourth places combined, so don't get too happy. ”

Hearing this, Famar showed a constipated expression and complained, "Man, why are we mentioning this, it's a painful memory!" ”

Zhao Dashao clapped his hands at this time, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said with a very solemn expression: "Everyone, I hope we can unify everyone's thoughts, because we have reached a critical junction, and there are only a few steps in a person's life, especially in the NBA." ”

Mbenga immediately laughed and said, "Ivan, you have the talent to be a leader, in the past, these words were said by Derek, and now we want to hear you mobilize for us." ”

Young Master Zhao nodded, this is what it means that there must be a few veterans in the team, because someone has to come out to cheer at a critical time!

The Lakers players shouted and everyone agreed with Mbemben's proposal!

Young Master Zhao waved his hand, and after everyone calmed down, he was like a real leader, with a composure and calmness that was extremely incommensurate with his current age, he said: "We can come here, not because we have the best talent and ability, but because we have 'unity' and 'determination', and success has always not been on the side with stronger ability, but on the side with a plan. ”

"If we add some more 'perseverance' and unwavering 'faith' to the 'plan', then we will be the winning side."
