Chapter 139: The Sky Is My Limit
Glenn Robinson was the only player on last year's All-Rookie Team to regress, and the damage of that big contract was evident in the first year, which didn't have the aggressiveness of Hill and Kidd at all, and was playing entirely on talent, and he was always seen to be unhurried. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Big Dog" was very mature in his first year with all kinds of offensive weapons, which he was much better than Hill and others, if he was a little aggressive and worked a little harder, at least Richmond's achievements should not be a problem, and last year's best rookie was also him.
But the professional attitude of this goods is really not flattering, sign a big contract and don't train all kinds of things, defense is like air, every game is like clocking in and going to work for more than 20 minutes and then get off work, not to mention the conflicts with teammates and coaches in the stadium, drinking outside the stadium, domestic violence, insulting fans, if these defects are concentrated in one person, no matter how good the talent is, it is not enough to squander.
Robinson faced Zhang Zhu, naturally he would not suddenly rise up, and was easily broken through twice in a row, and the degree of resistance was not as good as that of Stark House, and Zhang Qi easily and happily added 4 points to his stats.
Zhang Wei feels that this guy's achievements can't catch up with Starkhouse, although the heart of that thing is higher than the sky, but at least the training attitude and game attitude are still there, and the bad defense is a problem of consciousness, but at least people will grit their teeth and harden their anals.
Well, although this kind of behavior is idiotic, but people don't coax it, it's much better than not resisting.
It only took Zhang Wei two minutes to brush his statistics to 36 points, 16 rebounds and 16 assists, and the difference between the two teams began to move towards 30 points.
In the 2nd minute and 20 seconds, Stackhouse missed a three-point shot, and Zhang Yu got the basketball and pushed it all the way to the basket to easily score the ball.
The Eastern Force seems to have given up resistance, but Zhang Fu, who doesn't know what it means to be polite, directly steals White in the next defense and assists Joe Smith to complete a violent dunk!
The Eastern Army gave up resistance, but Zhang Wei would not give up the opportunity to brush up his own data.
Glenn Robinson finally got a little angry, scored a goal on the offensive end, turned his head and began to defend seriously, but was still completed by Zhang Mao, this time it was Levi who received a pass under the basket to complete the score.
The Eastern Army felt that Zhang Qi was going to brush up on the assist, but then he directly forced Robinson to pull out his hand and forced two points on the head of the "big dog".
Robinson was angry for a while, he didn't want to play now, and kept complaining about his temporary coach in his heart, why did he let him come up in this kind of game that had already been lost? Why don't you put Hill up?
Of course, the coach of the Eastern team has a reason to do this, and Hill is going to play the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow!
Zhang took advantage of Robinson's mental collapse and scored another 3 points in the last minute, successfully allowing his score to break through 40 points.
"It's a pity, if he could have come up earlier, I might have cut 40+20 data today!"
Zhang Wei only brushed 41 points, 17 rebounds and 19 assists in the end, and failed to brush his assists to 20+, he feels that the current data may not allow him to stay at the top of the rookie game forever, if the rookie game in the future is not as serious as they play, it is likely that someone will brush up a better data than him.
"Since you want to brush data, then you shouldn't really fight."
The rabbit butler said that the "real fight" was caused by yourself, and the Eastern Army didn't plan to take it so seriously at first.
"Of course I know, but if we don't play hard, we may not win the game."
Zhang Qi has long felt that the lineup of the Eastern team is more suitable for performance, including Robinson, if he really plays an exhibition game, he will be more powerful than Hill, and the Western troops are all players who are good at actual combat, and only by really playing can they be sure to win the game.
"Thankfully, I'll be able to continue competing in this competition next year, when I'll make it a real exhibition event."
Zhang Yu then thought that after he was promoted to the second grade, he would have another chance to brush the data, and at that time, his qualifications would go further, and he should be able to really dominate in this kind of competition.
With a final score of 136-100, the Western Rookies easily defeated the Eastern Rookies, with a 36-point difference and a combined 238-point score for both sides, both setting a new record in the history of the Rookie Challenge, although the competition is only in its third year.
In last year's Rookie Challenge, the two teams combined for less than 200 points, which was of course due to a change in the format.
In an interview with Reggie Miller's sister after the game, Zhang said: "We got a lot of points today and beat our opponents by a big score, but it doesn't mean much, but at least it was an intense and exciting game. ”
Miller's sister asked, "There are a lot of people today who think that this rookie game is not so much a confrontation between East and West as it is a dark battle between you and Hill, and judging by the results, we all know that you won the victory, do you have anything to say?" ”
Zhang Wei replied with a smile: "I didn't think about it, today I just want to win the MVP of the rookie game, which is a small goal of mine." However, this small honor does not make me feel satisfied, and I have more ambitious goals. For example, I expect to be able to show my talent on stage at the All-Star Game. Well, it's the game the day after tomorrow. Yes, I am now eagerly looking forward to this day and hope that it will come sooner. ”
"So, what about the slam dunk contest? You've performed two stunning dunks today, will they still be featured in the slam dunk contest? Or do you have more tricks in store for tomorrow? ”
Sister Miller quickly asked about the topic that the fans were most interested in, and the defensive intensity of the two teams today was stronger than the previous two Rookie Challenges, which also made the game not have many dunks and wonderful aerial performances. But today's game killed the first two in terms of dunk quality, because Zhang Mao's two shocking dunks at the end of the dunk did not appear even in the dunk contest.
Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Those two dunks are just my warm-up for tomorrow's game, of course I won't use those actions in the slam dunk contest again, because they are all actions that I eliminated, including the one in the advertisement, you don't think that's my limit, right?" ”
The koala baby pretended to be a little unbearable, and couldn't help but shiver hard, and when Miller's sister opened her mouth wide and didn't know what to say, Zhang Yu adjusted her emotions and continued: "I rarely mention the slam dunk contest, that's because I don't think it's necessary to mention it, I know that no one will be my opponent - I want to conquer the sky, not those mortals." ”
Miller's sister couldn't keep up with Zhang Mao's train of thought, and she could only ask one last question: "Okay, can you share with us the secret of your success?" Of course, it's four or five o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, we all know it, do you have any other secrets to success? ”
Zhang Yi was amused, and after thinking about it, he replied: "I think that you must first have a good father, and my success is thanks to my father, because he told me that the secret of success lies in diligence and perseverance, if you have these qualities, then, fly, only the sky is your limit." ”
Zhang Mo in front of the TV, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This little bastard, when did I say these words?" ”
However, in front of the big-mouthed beauty, Zhang Mo turned his head to look at Julia Roberts, and nodded happily: "That's right, this is what I encouraged him on his first day of basketball, I didn't expect this stinky boy to remember." ”
“………………”
After accepting the on-site interview, Zhang Mao came to the commentary seats of CCTV and Australia to greet the fans in the two places.
"Of course I won't join the Dream Team, I'm an Australian citizen, how can I join the Dream Team?"
Zhang Fu was in the commentary seat of Australian TV, and the first question he answered made his popularity in Australia skyrocket!
This question is what Australian fans want to ask the most, and now many Australian fans feel that Zhang Zhu will definitely choose to join the dream team, who called the Australian national team too weak compared to the American team, but I didn't expect Zhang Mao to say so.
Of course, Zhang Mao has to say this, before that mission, he will join the dream team, because Nike and himself are willing to do so.
Even if he doesn't join the U.S. team, the second choice will be the Chinese team, as for Australia? Let's eat it yourself!
But now it's different, he won't join the United States, let alone Chinese, if there are only these three options, then he will choose to keep Australian citizenship, because these three countries have the least Australian girls.
But at this moment, Zhang Mao just wants to join a country where girls are really scarce, and Australia still has to eat itself in the end.
Zhang Mao first brazenly attracted a wave of fans in Australia, and then came to China's live broadcast seat, frantically set up with the Chinese audience, and greeted him in his half-Cantonese and half-Mandarin pit daddy Chinese, which directly confused the reasonable teacher.
The Chinese audience in front of the TV is very fond of him, and now Hong Kong actors are sought after enough in the mainland, and he, a foreign moon, is more popular than Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, especially the handsome and strong NBA star, this identity is more eye-catching than Fei Xiang's mixed-race singer, Zhang Wei just stood in front of the camera, and saw his fans and reputation in China growing wildly.
Zhang Fu took a turn in the two live broadcast seats, and after absorbing enough fans, he returned to the scene to receive his trophy.
In this competition, the league didn't even need to discuss it, and directly moved out the MVP trophy of the rookie challenge after the game.
Except for Zhang Zhu, who is eligible to receive this trophy, the others are not even qualified to touch it.
'I'm happy now, it's an honour to play with the best players today and I can get the trophy thanks to them.'
After receiving the trophy from the vice president of the league, Zhang Wei finally did not forget to thank his teammates.
"This trophy is the best recognition for me, I always thought I was the best, even though I was a rookie, even in high school, I felt like I could play against the best players. Tomorrow, I'm going to have a slam dunk contest and then I'm going to win another trophy. ”
On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, Zhang successfully received the first MVP trophy in his life, and the attention of all fans also shifted to the "Slam Dunk Contest" on the second day.
On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, the highlight was the "Three-Point Contest" and the "Slam Dunk Contest", among which the "Slam Dunk Contest" attracted the most attention.
But in fact, in recent years, the attention of the "Slam Dunk Contest" has begun to decline, the older generation of flyers have grown old, and some strange rules made by the league have made the excitement of the slam dunk contest decline year by year.
The rules of this year's "Slam Dunk Contest" are still the same as those after 94 years, and the competition has been narrowed down from three rounds to two, namely the preliminaries and the finals.
Considering the high number of players in the past, which made the level of players uneven, this year the league reduced the number of players from 8 to 6, and the first round of preliminaries was determined by drawing lots.
In the first round, each person dunked three times, and the new rule was that "if the ball is in the player's possession before it is in the basket, it will be judged valid", but the original plan to withdraw from the "only count the two highest-scoring dunks" rule has not been implemented, and now the total score of the three dunks is still counted, and the three players with the highest scores advance to the finals, and the player with the highest score can play last in the finals.
In the final stage, each person will be deducted twice, and the champion with the highest total score will be awarded.
The six people who participated in this year's slam dunk contest were: Zhang Mao, Jerry Starkerhouse, Brent Barry, Grieg Meiner, Doug Christie, and Daryl Armstrong.
There are really few people who interest fans, Zhang Qian is of course the focus of attention, but except for him, only Stark House is a little famous, and the rest of the people in this era when the Internet is not yet developed, most fans may not know what they do.
However, the judges of this year's "Slam Dunk Contest" are all well-known figures, which is also to blame Zhang Mao for being too high-profile before the game, shouting that he wanted to beat the slam dunk king for 500 years before and after, but the league invited a bunch of former dunk kings to come out, so that the big guy can see how this guy is going to hang them?
This year's five judges are: the first slam dunk king Larry Nance, "Dr. J" Julius Irving, "The Essence of Human Cinema" Dominic Wilkins, "Potato" Sibert Webb, "Skywalker" Kenny Walker.
Webb had previously threatened to talk about Zhang: "Maybe he has some ability, but his arrogance annoys me deeply, so I'll give him some color, and if he wants to get a perfect score from me on the day of the game, then I need to make it impossible to find fault." ”
Irving also said: "I don't deliberately embarrass him, but since you're going to challenge us, if you can't get a really good dunk, I'm going to give him a super low score, because I feel like he's fooling the audience, and I hope he doesn't let me down when the time comes." ”
Wilkins laughed: "There are already 12 champions in the slam dunk contest, isn't he going to challenge us?" Well, I'll compare each of his dunks to the classic dunks of the year, and I'll base my rating on him. Don't be surprised if you see Lyon scoring 45 points for his dunk and 50 points for the other competitors' dunks, because we don't have the same standards for him, and it's what he asked for, not because we didn't mean to embarrass him. ”
These guys have made it clear that they want to take Zhang's dunks compared to those classic dunks in the "slam dunk contest", and the score will also be based on these classic dunks.
Zhang Wei was not intimidated, before he left the press conference, he also challenged these judges: "Very good, I like such double standards, this is interesting, let them go together tomorrow, I want to challenge twelve!" ”
