Chapter 54: Time Magazine

After the win over the Suns, the Lakers' next opponent is the Golden State Warriors, who also play on the road. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On July 28, just as the Lakers went to the Warriors' home court to play, Zhang Zhu's talk show will also be broadcast in the Los Angeles area.

"I know it's 9:30 p.m., but it's 8 p.m., so I'm afraid I won't see it."

Zhang had a phone call with his agent before the game, and his talk show aired at 9:30 p.m., but if nothing else, he was in the middle of the second half and missed his first talk show perfectly.

Chinese American groups in various states have begun to demonstrate on the streets in the past few days, ranging in scale and size, which quickly prompted "ESPN" and "Fox Sports" to publish apologies and dismiss two people who posted racial discrimination, and the matter can be regarded as a preliminary solution.

Zhang Zhu has gained a lot of fame among Asian and Chinese American groups through this incident, and many people now know his name, but the main impression is that he was discriminated against, and then his performance on the court is also good.

Now he really needs to put on a good show on the pitch, otherwise people will only have the impression of him as "discriminated against", which is not a glorious thing.

Today's opponent of the Lakers is the Warriors, and it can be seen that they are very anxious about their interior line, and they actually selected four interior rookies from this year's draft, including "Zhuang Yuanlang" Joe Smith.

Joe Smith's performance in the first three games is far less brilliant than Zhang Fu, but he can also guarantee an average of 20 points + 10 rebounds per game, and it is not clear that he has any moisture for the time being.

Zhang Mao made up his mind to prove his strength on this champion today, because he received another side quest before the game.

Get a new mission......

Side Mission (1): [Changing the Day] ——

"Requirements: Beat the champion show, and the data wins in all aspects. Reward: 500 Arena Points, 20 Fame, Mission Status: 0%. ”

With the excitement of the new side quest, Zhang Qi has become even more unstoppable in the game.

In the first quarter, he scored a staggering 15 points with his frantic breakaways, eight of which came from the free-throw line, and no one on the Warriors' lineup could match him.

Many fans can perceive that Zhang Zhu's target today is obviously Joe Smith, and he seems to have a lot of resentment about this title?

They guessed correctly, even if there was no such task, Zhang Wei has always cared about the "champion title".

If he can become the first international player and Chinese-American player in history to win the top prize, then he can leave a stronger mark in the history of the NBA.

Joe Smith had a bad feeling today, his explosiveness was no worse than Zhang Mao, but he was in the position of a defender in every encounter, which was a bit overwhelming.

Zhang Wei recognized the direction of Joe Smith today, and at every opportunity, he held the ball to kill the champion, as if the other party had a deep hatred with him.

In the first half, the two faced each other head-to-head under the basket a total of 8 times, and the result was that Zhang Qi scored the ball directly 4 times, stood on the free throw line 3 times, and only missed once under defense, but this record was enough for the Los Angeles media to write a report after the game that "Bangyanxiu beat the champion show".

Warriors fans naturally have a lot of opinions about Zhang Mao, because he not only targeted Joe Smith on the offensive end, but also always wanted to touch Smith when he returned to the defensive end, and the results of the 4 head-to-head meetings ended with him being forced to dunk, 1 successful block, 1 successful interference, and 1 foul.

This record is a lot worse than his crushing situation on offense, but at least it was a draw, at least not as defeated as Joe Smith was on defense!

The data comparison between the two is also very different, Zhang Qi got 22 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the first half; Joe Smith only had 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and the comparison of such statistics was almost all-round.

"Just crush it!" After Zhang Yu finished the first half, he looked at the status of the task, which showed that the task was 50% completed, which means that the system admitted that he completed the crushing in the first half, and now it depends on whether he can make persistent efforts in the second half.

At this moment, Zhang Fu has forgotten that his talk show is about to be broadcast in California, and the host really kept his promise and did not cut out his narration, and the content was almost uncut.

As he continued to ravage the Warriors' rookies and underclass players with his muscular body in the second half, the talk show was available to residents of all California at home.

It's Friday, and it's a weekend in the United States, and there will be a lot of families watching in front of the TV together.

Asians and Chinese Americans in the United States are most impressed by this episode of Zhang Fu's program, because what he said is their personal experience since childhood, Zhang Fu is like piercing a membrane with a needle, and there is dirty thick water underneath.

Everyone can usually see these dirty things, but no one dares to pierce him, so one party always pretends not to know, and the other party can only helplessly pretend not to care, but Zhang Wei skillfully pierced this film in this episode of the show.

Zhang Fu's narration also caused a lot of shock in the hearts of Americans, "people" are the most vulnerable creatures, easy to be brainwashed, and easily influenced by the people and words around them.

But it is absolutely impossible to expect a few words to change this deep-rooted discriminatory mentality.

The effect of this talk show is like a villain who does evil and accidentally watches a touching and positive energy movie, and he may also be moved by the plot and characters in the movie.

But when he woke up, the movie still couldn't turn him into a good person, he would still go to the traitor department, but he was really touched in that hour and a half, and during that time he might have been a good person, wanted to be a good person, but that's about it.

If public opinion in Europe and the United States no longer discriminates against ethnic Chinese in the future, no longer adds fuel to the fire, and reports more positive images of China, perhaps people will no longer discriminate against ethnic Chinese in a few decades.

But of course this is something that can't happen, at least it doesn't happen on its own.

Zhang Mao can do Bruce Lee at most, he may make himself the pride of the Chinese and let himself be accepted by the world, but he can't change the impression of a nation in the world, because this is a task that can only be completed by a nation.

In the second half, Zhang Yu continued to stare at the inside of the Warriors and attacked, and the inside line of the Warriors, who were mostly rookies, was still very weak, and the four rookies were really like a vegetable in front of Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu's weight is not much inferior to some lightweight insiders, Joe Smith's weight is only 220 pounds, and Zhang Fu's weight of 215 pounds is not intimidating to the other party, which is his courage to be positive.

He's confident that as long as he's not a player who's more than 10 pounds heavier than himself and has a reputation for strength, he doesn't worry he's a match in that regard.

Warriors fans now feel like they picked a fake No. 1 pick, and they laughed at the Lakers' brain-dead trade with the media at the beginning, but now they can't laugh at all.

With the support of thousands of Chinese fans at the scene, Zhang Zhu's desire to perform became stronger, which made Joe Smith even more miserable.

At 6 minutes and 22 seconds in the fourth quarter, Zhang Qian played again, and broke through the opposing player to the basket with the first touch.

Joe Smith was already a little scared, and his feet were unconsciously slowed down, and when he arrived at the basket, he could only see Zhang Yu in the air a head above him.

"Not good!" Joe Smith knew that he had committed a military taboo, and since he hesitated about the ball, let this bastard dunk one of them.

But he jumped up and blocked in a trance, and it turned out to be such an embarrassing picture now, he has the possibility of being ridden and buckled?

Zhang Yu had just been substituted and was full of energy, so this time the jump was very fast, and there was only Joe Smith in front of him.

Such a great opportunity, how could Zhang Qian let it go, immediately set up his left hand to separate the opponent, grabbed the ball with his right hand and straightened it behind him, and leaned his whole body back diagonally, which was the forward swing posture of the tomahawk dunk.

The fans at the scene saw Zhang Qiu's arm holding the ball slam forward after accumulating power, drawing a powerful arc from the air, like the edge of an axe, slashing at Joe Smith who was below......

At this moment, everyone can see that Joe Smith, who is riding under him like a stake, is impossible to block this shocking dunk, even if Zhang Mao's dunk ability is only 60, but he has too much of the lead in this ball!

"Bang" with a bang!

Before Joe Smith could jump, Zhang Qi had already blasted him back.

His left hand to protect himself just blocked the opponent, and the basketball in his right hand smashed into the basket at the same moment, and his body almost rode on Joe Smith, which was a riding dunk!

"I'm sorry, I was born to be the champion, so you made me angry!"

After Zhang Yu landed, he looked at Joe Smith who was knocked to the ground by him with a pair of emotionless eyes, and after dropping such a super pretend 13 words, he turned around and left in a chic manner.

The entire old Oakland Coliseum was silent, and at this moment it seemed that even the air was frozen, and tens of thousands of Warriors fans were still immersed in Zhang Zhu's violent button, only thousands of Chinese fans reacted first, and they released a noisy cheer!

Zhang Wei is still in a cold posture, he wants to create some classic shots for himself, and this buckle is enough to include in the performance of his career highlights, so he must maintain this most popular cold expression at the moment, which will make him more handsome!

"This kid is kind of cool!" Warriors fans who came back to their senses couldn't help but think that Zhang Mao's ball was indeed domineering, giving people a kind of self-respecting momentum, even if it was a visiting player, it was worth applauding.

Zhang Wei returned to the backcourt and looked at the score, he widened the difference to 20 points, but fortunately, he told the assistant coach at halftime that he would let him play a little more today.

The Warriors are now in a state of collapse, and Joe Smith, who was dunked by him, should not be able to recover for three or five days, and the whole team is running in trouble, which is the best way to brush up on the data.

Of course, Zhang Wei would not miss such a good opportunity, and he was replaced by the coach until the last 3 minutes, and his data was immediately released on the big screen of the stadium -

42 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, this is another super-sized double-double statistic.

"Awesome, mission accomplished!"

Zhang Wei went to see his task as soon as he got off the field, in fact, he didn't need to look at it to know the result, Joe Smith didn't even get the 20+10 data, and there was no data comparable to him today.

This is not just a crushing game, Zhang Fu felt that he had hung this champion up and whipped him today.

{Mission Completed}:

"Single Victory (Repeatable)", Status: 1/1, Mission Reward: 100 Arena Points, 5 Fame.

"Best of the Match (Repeatable)", Status: 1/1, Mission Reward: 50 Arena Points, 5 Fame.

"Changing the Days", status 100%, mission reward: 500 competition points, 20 reputation

【Additional Rewards】:

"Score 40+ points in a single game" and get 200 competition points.

"10 rebounds per game" and 25 competition points.

"7+ assists in a single game" and 50 match points.

"Large Double Double" for 200 Race Points.

[Personal Performance]: System rating S-, all rewards will be increased by 10%.

Zhang Qi received an S-grade rating for the first time today, which increased his gain to 1067 competition points and 33 prestige.

He can't imagine that a summer league can have such a high reward, and now he is satisfied with the infinite longing for the regular season and the playoffs.

Little did he know that the talk show he was participating in had caused a new wave in California, with complaints from ESPN and Fox Sports bursting again, and a large number of resonant Asians and Chinese Americans preparing to launch a new round of petitions to further say "no" to racial discrimination.

"Lyon, you may cause an unimaginable storm of public opinion in the next few days, you must remember to stay calm, try not to say too much in front of the media these days, we need to keep a low profile now."

Trim contacted Zhang Fu as soon as possible after the game, and specifically instructed him not to talk too much in front of the media, and it was best to avoid reporters.

They belong to the party that set the fire, and now that the fire has been ignited, no matter how strong the fire is, it is the smartest choice to avoid the limelight first, which is to beware of setting fire to the body.

But light avoidance is definitely not the best policy, so his next trick is to watch the fire from the other side, the key is to sit down and do nothing, and wait to see the situation clearly before picking peaches. If the situation is not good, then they will have to run away.

The Rabbit Butler floated over with a card in his hand: "I think you need this card right now, it can help you become the biggest news center in the United States this week." ”

When Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately looked at the card in the rabbit butler's hand-

Silver-level [Famous Card] - worth 1000 competition points, card effect: slightly increase the popularity of the news, and slightly increase the media exposure (can produce an overlay effect).

"Does this card have such a big effect? I see that the effect of the introduction is only a small increase in the effect, so how much can it be improved? Zhang Zhu obviously has little confidence in the silver-level cards.

"Of course there is an effect, when using the card, you must remember to link theory with practice, I have to say that your agent is very capable, even if you don't use the card now, you will become popular, so you only need to add a fire on this basis, and you can make yourself completely popular all over the United States!"

Zhang Yu nodded, he felt that the rabbit butler's explanation was very reasonable, the card only played a role in fueling the trouble, and it might really have such a great effect if it was used on the basis of the current one.

Speaking of which, why is he willing to cooperate with Triem's hype plan?

The main reason is that the "fame" in reality is linked to the "prestige" in the system, and through this hype, he has multiplied his popularity several times. If he's going to really be popular all over the United States next, his reputation will definitely skyrocket at that time, and now he only needs to pay a few silver cards, which is simply not a good deal.

"I bought it, and since this card can be stacked, I'll just buy three, and let's play a little more if we want to play!"

Zhang Wei bought three [Famous Four Sea Cards] in one go, but public opinion exploded in an instant the next day!

On July 29, Zhang's account was cut and broadcast separately by television stations in other states, which caused more indignation among Asians and Chinese Americans, and various campaigns for the rights of Asians and Chinese Americans began to be staged in various states.

On July 30, the Lakers played the Clippers at home.

This ordinary summer league was once again broadcast live on CBS TV because of the public opinion center of Zhang Mao.

It is worth mentioning that fans in front of the TV can see many white virgins wearing yellow-skinned, black-haired face masks before the game, wearing the most expensive No. 14 jersey that the Lakers store rushed out overnight, and pulling their own banners to bow in the direction of the players' tunnel.

Fans in front of the TV can also hear these fans shouting Zhang Fu's name loudly, excitedly patting the palms that have been red, as if to make the entire Great Western Forum Arena boil.

Finally, the hero of the Asian and Chinese fans appeared, and Zhang ran out of the players' tunnel with a smile on his face, with a bit of enjoyment and joy on his face.

In this game, Zhang Mao once again scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the cheers of the fans, and the photo of him hugging Ma Jian after the game was once again put on the headlines by major media, but this time it was finally not written with words like "yellow peril".

On July 31, thousands of people in Washington went to the White House to petition for a ban on the use of discriminatory terms such as "Oriental" on all occasions and to replace them with words such as "Asian-American" and "Chinese-American."

Chinese-American lawmakers in Los Angeles also introduced a bill to remove discriminatory words such as "Oriental" from the federal law and replace them with terms such as "Asian-American" and "Chinese-American."

On August 1, Zhang Fu has already become a hot topic in the United States through various Chinese and Asian petitions and marches throughout the United States in the past few days.

On the first day of August, he even became the second NBA player to appear on the cover of the global edition of Time magazine with global influence this year, and the other to appear on the cover of Time magazine this year was Michael Jordan.

It is worth mentioning that Time magazine published his Chinese name, and he replaced Saddam Hussein, who was originally scheduled to be the cover of this issue.

On the cover, Time magazine did not make any superfluous annotations, but simply printed Zhang Fu's name and the words "Voice of Asia".

On the same day, the Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings on the road.

Zhang Yu scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in only three quarters in the game, and even the whole away was shouting his name, obviously his popularity has not passed, he is really hot now!

According to the post-game statistics, at least 5,000 Asian and Chinese fans were on hand to support their new idol, the 18-year-old Chinese high school rookie, who is now on the verge of becoming Asia's representative. He even had his first nickname, "The Voice of Asia", although Zhang himself was not interested in this nickname at all.

After the Lakers defeated the Kings, there are two games left to end this summer league, and Zhang Mao averaged 33.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game in the first six games.

"In the next game, I can do less of my attacks and pass more for my teammates."

After the game, Zhang Wei looked at his average data per game and secretly thought that even if all the data met the requirements of the task, as long as one of them did not meet the standard, it would be a trip for nothing.

So for the next two games, he has to increase his assists. Fortunately, it shouldn't be difficult for him, and any player who can attack with his back can easily brush assists, which is determined by technical characteristics.

Zhang Zhu did not accept media interviews after the game, although as more and more Asian and Chinese American groups across the United States are using Zhang Zhu to petition and defend their rights and interests, he can sense that as the scale grows, he does not have too many media to chase and block him.

It's a bit like when the Chinese warlords were fighting each other, no matter who did something, they had to pull up the banner of Sun Yat-sen, and now these activist groups carry a lot of his portraits and posters with them.

That's not a bad thing for him, as the growing number of petitions is also fueling his fame, and he's happy to be branded as an 18-year-old politician who doesn't take his 18-year-old seriously. And all he wants is fame, to be precise, "prestige", because this thing will affect him to open many functions of the system, and "prestige" is the permission to open new functions of the system.

Zhang Fu is very satisfied with the speed at which his fame has increased in the past few days, and the American sports media has been reporting more and more about him these days, and his data is definitely not just "not bad", and there are very few players in the history of the league who can play such a performance in the summer league.

If the summer league data is halved is almost the regular season data, then Zhang Qi is likely to get about 18+5+4 data in the regular season, which is no longer to be picky for a high school rookie.
