Chapter Twenty-Seven: Encouragement from Vanessa!

Zhao Dashao pretended to be worth more than hundreds of honor coins last night, and the American media finally began to report on this Chinese rookie who kept attracting people's attention with his mouth cannon.

The New York Times gave him a little news item in a corner of the sports section with the headline - "Is Good Worth Mentioning?" ”

Zhao Dashao didn't read the news content, and as soon as he saw this headline, he knew that there was nothing good to say.

He was right, the New York Times columnist signed Luther, and the first thing he wrote in the news was: "There is a huge group of people in the world, who may number more than a billion people, and because they have no merits to show off, they hide their pitiful inferiority complex with disgusting arrogance and boasting." ”

"ESPN" is not so explicit, adjectives like "billion" are too easy to criticize, and as a sports media, they don't dare to be so arrogant.

But this did not prevent them from giving Zhao Dashao a small headline in the news column on the homepage of the official website - "There is no excellence, how can it be excellent?" ”

Zhao Dashao thinks that there is no need to read this, ESPN's title can not only make people guess the content, this is already a spoiler, okay?

The Los Angeles Times published an article titled "Perfect Boy? The headline doesn't look like a good thing, except that the location of the news is also bad.

Zhao Dashao hesitated for a moment, thinking that this newspaper should not also speak ill of him, right? This is my own person!

But I'm sorry, this columnist named Mike is full of sarcasm, and the first sentence at the beginning is: "The stars are beautiful, but if you reach out and pick up the stars, you will not get them if you work hard for a long time, and you will be ridiculed: you can't do it." I hope that the star pickers understand one thing - people are not laughing at self-indulgence, no one will laugh at dreams, they are just laughing at your strength. ”

Zhao Dashao couldn't accept it, he didn't expect that even the big media in his city would make this kind of report?

What about their calf-guarding spirits?

Shouldn't the plot be that he was scolded by 10,000 people, but his own media and team only protect the calf and don't admit it?

Zhao Dashao was furious in his heart, and opened Twitter directly, only to find that he was @#了 by hundreds of people, including Westbrook and Ross who specifically diss his tweets.

"A person should not let out big words at will, he should first recognize his own ability."

"There are always people who don't think they can stand up to the sky, but in fact they are idiots."

In addition to these two men, Mayo and Beasley and others are also sneering.

But don't say that everyone is scolding him, Zhao Dashao found a tweet encouraging himself in a bunch of Diss, and his name was actually Vanessa!

Zhao Dashao was startled, as if he had seen a ghost, and almost pushed the notebook to the ground!

What the heck?

Could it be?

Could it be her?

Can't you?

Zhao Dashao's expression changed and changed, and he had to think about it in his heart.

But after taking a closer look at the content of the tweet, he realized that it should have been sent by Lao Ko.

The boss has always disliked playing social networking sites, and it was originally at the end of 12 years that Twitter was opened, so it's normal to say something with the help of his wife's account!

Zhao Dashao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, in fact, there were only a few words in this tweet, it was a simple sentence: "Seize every opportunity to prove yourself to everyone and prove that you can meet the challenge." ”

There is not much content, but it makes Zhao Dashao very moved in his heart, and it is a little warm.

He wanted to fight back, but at this moment he shook his head and closed the notebook hard.

It's useless to say anything now, unless he can fulfill his previous rhetoric, anything else will be ridiculed.

Get a new mission......

Side Mission (2): [Fight Back and Question] Begins——

"When you are questioned, it is the best chance to prove yourself, please get the Summer League MVP, Status: Ongoing, Mission Reward: 2000 Honor Coins, 500 Honor Fragments.

【Warning】Failure Penalty - 1000 Arena Coins, 500 Honor Fragments will be deducted.

Zhao Dashao found that he was not dissed in vain, I don't know if the system was unhappy, and directly gave him a chance to slap his face, the reward for this task is similar to the previous one, but the punishment is obviously much more serious.

But he didn't resist this new task, and if he could win the championship, he would be the MVP, so the two tasks were actually similar, and even somewhat overlapped.

However, things didn't go well, and the Lakers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies again in the fourth round.

At this point, everyone should be about the same strength in the Swiss system.

But when he arrived on the field, as soon as he saw the lineup on the opposite side, Zhao Dashao suddenly felt that he had overestimated the strength of the team, and he still had the idea of "it's too early to talk big".

The Grizzlies' lineup in Summer League is O.J. Mayo, Marc Gasol, Kyle Lowry, Milicic, Darrell Arthur, Hamad Haddadi.

He has an impression of these people, especially Lowry and Jr., both of whom are future All-Stars.

If it weren't for the Grizzlies' choice to develop Guy, and Mayo's own attitude was problematic, his ceiling would have been an All-Star level, and the Grizzlies would have had these three to make the playoffs.

Zhao Dashao knows very well that Mayo is at the peak of his debut, and Lowry is only a chance now, Xiaojia's body alone is enough to blow up Mbenga and Mime, not to mention that there are still Iranian Emperor and Victory Cigar, how can the Lakers play?

In this game, the problem of the Lakers' slow interior line was completely exposed.

If you were to ask "how slow", the answer would be "neither Mbunga nor Mime is faster than Haddadi".

This can know why the Lakers' two backup centers have no ball to play when they leave the Lakers.

Haddadi, Asia's No. 2 insider, can't play in the NBA, in addition to being excluded by teammates and fans due to Iranian nationality, slow speed is his biggest drawback.

But at least they still have top-level strength and rebounding, and good low-post defense, so Mbenga and Mim don't talk to Xiaojia, they can't even beat Haddadi.

Zhao Dashao is playing very hilariously, Haddadi is outrageously slow, and Xiaojia is also a slow-moving center.

This is just right for him to drill holes, even if Lowry's "little steel cannon" defense is not bad, Zhao Dashao is far from being an opponent in physical confrontation, but with the active cover of his teammates, as long as he finds a way to avoid Lowry, he can get a small and big opportunity.

The Grizzlies' lack of a three-win record shows that they also have weaknesses, two of those three interior players have not adapted to the rhythm and rules of the NBA, and one is focused on boxing and basketball.

This made Zhao Dashao actually cut a lot of points in the penalty area, and handed over 24 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists in the whole game.

But no matter how good the personal data is, the team loses, and it is inevitable to be sneered at by a group of rookies after the game, and the media is waiting to see his jokes.

At this time, the Lakers have 2 wins and 2 losses, win one more game to qualify from the group, and lose one more game to go out of the group, and the situation is not optimistic.

Not only that, their next game is on the 14th, and the opponent is also a battle of life and death, and the two teams must fight in the dark to decide the winner!

But even if the Lakers are lucky enough to advance, the next day will start the Western Conference quarterfinals, which is equivalent to going through a back-to-back game, and the opponent must be a team that wins all three games, and it is really difficult to go further at that time.

The next day, the atmosphere in the Lakers team had dropped, and the players were no longer discussing whether to choose Tesla or a Ferrari or Lamborghini down payment after winning the championship.

They finally found out that the championship is not so easy to win, and even if they try their best, they can't seem to make up for the talent gap.

Brother Sun made a helpless choice at this time, he asked the team to return to China to participate in the last training camp of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the Lakers management has agreed to his application to leave the team.

It's no wonder that Brother Sun is this move, this Olympics is much more important than the summer league, and he agreed with the Lakers at the beginning that if there is a conflict between the two sides' schedules, he will focus on the national team.

But this made the Lakers players have a lot of opinions about him, because in everyone's opinion, this is a deserter performance, and many people have sprinkled their emotions on Brother Sun's head.

That night, the Lakers' final opponent was announced, and they will face the Suns led by Dragic, Lopez, and Dudley.

Zhao Dashao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the Suns' lineup is not strong, as long as they play normally, the chances of winning are not small.

Bernie made a change in the lineup, and he simply put Zhao Dashao in the second position.

This change is very risky, Zhao Dashao doesn't even have the ability to fight against the No. 1 position, and he is afraid that he will fall down if he moves to the No. 2 position.

But it doesn't matter, Kevin Martin is not as tough as Zhao Dashao, but he still averaged 23 points per game last season with a weak body.

Bernie thinks that as long as Zhao can play back on the offensive end, it will be enough.

Besides, "thin" does not mean that he is not good defensively, he can play to his advantages of defensive coverage and good defense with teammates.

This change of formation proved to be very effective.

Farmar finally got back on his feet, facing Slovenian guard Dragic, who not only scored 28 points to complete the suppression on the offensive end, but also allowed Dragic to only get 10 points and 5 assists.

Zhao Dashao is facing a black macho man in the development league in the second position, this person is fast, physically strong, but his IQ is limited, and his basic skills are not reliable, Zhao Dashao is not afraid of this kind of player.

The result: as soon as Brother Sun left, the Lakers won.

This embarrassed Brother Sun, who was about to board the plane, Famar scored 28 points today, and Zhao Dashao also scored 22 points and 12 assists, not only making himself the best in the game with a large double-double, but also making the majority of Chinese fans feel that this victory was hearty and positive!

The Lakers eventually snatched a ticket to the finals from the Suns, but as previously announced, they will face a 3-0 team in the Western Conference Quarter-Finals tomorrow against either the SuperSonics or the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers.
