Chapter 53: A Time to Witness a Miracle
Garrett was embarrassed by George Hill and Carter's words, and wanted to be embarrassed.
Seeing Galette's reaction, Zhang Feng felt a little sorry for him, he actually didn't care about this matter, but maybe many teammates would isolate him in the future, thinking of this, Zhang Feng decided to play a round for him, and said:
"Galette is right, we young people should really learn from the veterans, but we also have our own strengths, everyone has to maintain their own characteristics, learn from the strengths of others, rather than blindly learn from the experience of others, on the field, each of us try to do the right thing at the right time, winning is the first thing, I propose, our new season team cheering slogan is called we are kings, what do you think?"
It's a good slogan, and if it's shouted on the pitch, it can boost the morale of the team and match the team name.
"We are kings, we are kings, we are kings" David raised his right hand and clenched his fist and shouted.
"We are kings, we are kings, we are kings" The other players also shouted slogans under the leadership of David, and even Galette was excited, he didn't expect that he would spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Zhang Feng was so tolerant.
David felt at this moment that he insisted on using the No. 5 pick to choose Zhang Feng to make a lot of money, Zhang Feng can be described as a natural leader player, in the face of the contempt of players with a lower status than himself, not only did not immediately become angry, but also swept away the embarrassing atmosphere with a few words, and even transformed it into a jubilant atmosphere. The weirdest thing is that Zhang Feng got Carter's strong support on the first day he met Carter.
--------------------------------------------------------
After a lively shout, David motioned for everyone to stop, and said:
"On the first day of training today, there was no specific training content arranged, so let's communicate more."
What do a few bigwigs have to talk about, some people suggest that it is better for rookies to pick people to engage in 1V1 heads-up, and if you win, you don't need to run errands to buy water and popcorn.
The NBA has always had a tradition of rookies running errands for veterans, even the legendary point guard Paul has just entered the league and carried bags for James, Wade, and Anthony, although it is a joke between friends, but it also shows that this tradition has always existed in major NBA teams.
The proposal has been supported by the veterans, with the rookies saying that it doesn't matter, and even if they win, they may still have other reasons to run their errands.
In addition to Zhang Feng this year, the Kings also have No. 15 rookie Justin Jackson, who plays the small forward position, and No. 34 rookie Frank Mason, who plays the point guard position.
Seeing that everyone agreed, David stood up and said, "So be it, Justin and Carter go head-to-head and dunk each other, what do you think?" ”
"Agreed, completely agreed"
"Frank and Galette go head-to-head and compete for shots, how?"
"Agreed, completely agreed"
Everyone wants to see Carter's dunk, in the past, Carter's dunk either existed in TV highlights or performed on the opposite team, and today, as Carter's teammates, can finally feel the same experience of watching Carter's dunk.
"We're all tastes, let's get started," George Hill exclaimed excitedly.
The staff on the sidelines were also very happy, trotting all the way to bring a rack of balls over to wait, for fear that the balls would not be enough.
"Do you come first or do I come first?" Carter asked Justin.
"Respect seniors, you come first," Justin said.
Carter is now in a very excited state, as soon as he arrived at the training room in the morning, he singled out Zhang Feng to shoot at a fixed point, and now he wants to compete with Justin for dunking, the most important thing is that Carter feels very happy to be teammates with Zhang Feng, just like when the Nets and Kidd were teammates.
"I'll give you a simple show first," Carter said lightly.
I saw Carter take the ball, stand near the halfline, hold the ball in both hands, suddenly began to accelerate the sprint, to the free throw line one and a half steps, jumped directly, and made a torch posture in the air, as if after three seconds in the air, he steadily buckled in.
"Wow, very" Galette jumped up excitedly and raised his hands and spread his palms, very vividly indicating that he wanted to give Carter a 10 points for this dunk.
Most of the veterans scored 10 points, Zhang Feng and Frank scored 9 points, strictly speaking, Carter's dunk is also 9 points if it is in the dunk contest, after all, the jump position is almost two steps away from the free throw line, but Carter wins in a beautiful dunk posture.
The veterans held the idea that they couldn't give the rookie a chance, and they hit ten points in one go, and then laughed around the club.
Justin was under a lot of pressure at the moment, originally he thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect Carter to be so serious, it's not terrible to lose points, and it's embarrassing to dunk if it's not interesting.
But he thought about it, and he couldn't think of any good dunk ideas for a while, and seeing Justin embarrassed, Zhang Feng ran to Justin and said to him:
"Take advantage of your speed, do a glide split, don't run with the ball, run with the dribble, remember to just look good"
Justin suddenly realized and nodded to Zhang Feng to express his gratitude.
Justin walked to the baseline, took a deep breath, and began to accelerate the dribble, he lowered the center very low, dribbled near the inside circle of the free throw line, jumped up sharply, spun around in the air, flew to the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket hard.
The beauty of Justin's ball lies in the flexible control of the rhythm, as well as the change in the stretch of the body that is too low in the center to jump suddenly, plus the gliding mouth after the 360-degree turn, although there is no point that is particularly good, but it is pleasing to the eye when combined.
"8 points," Galette shouted again.
"I'm giving it a nine, and the control is good," George Hill said.
On the whole, Carter still has a high score, and in this round of 1V1 dunk competition, Carter won.
"True to the name, our veterans are even better," Galette triumphantly raised his hands and walked around, as if he had dunked himself.
"Zhang Feng, you can have one too" David suddenly proposed, and everyone turned their attention to Zhang Feng.
"Yes, you're known for jumping high and running fast, and I've heard that Hornacek gave you the nickname Bolt the Very High Jumper, so you have to have one," said George Hill.
"Come one, come one, come one" and the crowd began to coax.
At this moment, Zhang Feng just wanted to pretend, pretending to put his hand to his ear, imitating Iverson's action of "let us hear your shouts", and everyone also cooperated with the shouting to make a louder noise.
Zhang Feng finished pretending, patted his chest and said, "Watch me perform a tomahawk-style dunk with a 3600-degree crotch change of hands from the three-point line."
"What? Did I hear me right? Three-point line jump? The same question arose in everyone's hearts: Isn't this kid stupid?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhang Feng smiled slightly, and said in his heart:
"Then comes the time for you to witness the miracle"
