Chapter 142: Leader's Temperament

Bagley's desire to make more money is normal, and his logic is simple – play well, get the attention of NBA scouts, and then get a top-three pick next year, and then sign a batch of endorsements, and the multimillionaire is just around the corner, so he chooses to spit trash talk and create a buzz in an attempt to "force" the stars on the floor to interact more with him.

This idea is very good, but making money is the final result, and it needs to be achieved by winning the game, and he is bent on how to create a news "breaking point", and the direct consequence is that he is played by Pierce and Zhang Feng.

The timeout ended in an instant, and the two teams returned to the court for the fourth quarter, and according to the rules, this time it was the MHP team who served first.

Nick Young was "educated" by Pierce and returned to the pitch with a long pass to Zhang Feng, who was standing near the halfway line. This kind of long pass is more dangerous, because the basketball is too long and too far in the air uncontrollably, so Paul pounced directly, he hopes to force Zhang Feng to make a mistake near the halfway, and it would be better if he returned to the court.

In the face of Paul's pressing, Zhang Feng calmly changed hands behind his back to dribble, and after holding the ball in his left hand, he accelerated to the three-point line.

"Come on," Harden slapped the ground with both hands, then spread out his hands to gesture for a heads-up. This action Zhang Feng is very familiar with, this is the ball that LeBron defended James in 16 All-Star, and since this is the case, he decided to use Kobe's way to play.

The fans at the scene also seemed to recall this classic scene, and they all stood up to applaud Zhang Feng and Harden with dignity, and the players of both teams stopped and waited for the two to complete the heads-up.

Zhang Feng bent down to dribble back and forth in advance, and Harden stretched out his left hand and tried to pull the ball. Zhang Feng seized this opportunity to change the ball to his right hand, his left shoulder sank down sharply, and he raised his left foot to accelerate to the right breakthrough. Harden hurriedly moved sideways to block. Taking advantage of Harden's unsteady standing, Zhang Feng pulled up violently, a standard mid-range shot, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

"Not bad" Harden, although he failed to prevent the ball, also gave a thumbs up to praise Zhang Feng, and the fans at the scene also applauded.

Turning his head, Harden deliberately brought the ball to Zhang Feng and said, "It's my turn this time, are you ready?" ”。

"Let the horse come" Zhang Feng sank into the dantian and put on a half-horse posture.

Harden burst to the left first, but couldn't break through Zhang Feng's block, he directly switched the ball to his right hand and deliberately stuck to Zhang Feng, he tried to use his body to gain space to travel. Harden weighs a lot, and Zhang Feng has to exert his strength faintly, otherwise he will be squeezed far away.

Between a push and a block, Harden took the ball to the free throw line, and reflexively made a European step. In the first quarter, Zhang Feng had already been deceived by the European step once, and this time he learned his lesson and made up his mind that as long as Harden didn't shoot, he wouldn't reach out.

As a result, Zhang Feng was still put on a side, and Harden changed his shot to pick in the third step of the European step, and Zhang Feng watched the ball fly into the basket in a daze.

Harden praised him just now, Zhang Feng also took the lead in applauding without hesitation, and the audience also cheered, this ball Harden handled really wonderfully.

"Loren, what do you think of this game?" In the NIKE conference room, Eden asked his assistant a question, and the supervisor, who had brought tens of millions of endorsements to Zhang Feng, was cross-legged and leisurely drinking coffee, but his eyes never left the live broadcast of this Drew League.

As a sponsor of the Drew League, NIKE naturally keeps an eye on the game, but Eden today is more concerned about whether Zhang Feng can complete the task they have given him.

The man who was asked frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Win or lose, our goal has been achieved."

"Oh? You say it carefully," Eden put down his coffee.

Luo Lun sat up straight and said seriously: "Our goal is to let Zhang Feng play a good performance, and now it seems that even if he loses, Zhang Feng will attract the attention of a large number of fans, so winning or losing this game is no longer important to us, of course it will be better to win the game."

"What are the stats of Zhang Feng and Harden now?" Eden asked.

"Zhang Feng had 30 points and 5 steals, and Harden had 30 points and 4 rebounds," Loren replied.

Both of these stats are typical Drew League stats, and even though both teams have NBA stars, no one has more than four assists, so there are more steals than in a regular NBA game.

"How can I publicize it if I lose?" Eden asked again, it seems that mother-in-law and mother-in-law are no matter how big or small, but this is actually an important way to promote subordinates. Loren knew that this was a test of himself, so he thought twice before he spoke:

"In response to all changes with the same, we must resolutely implement the keyword of the new generation as the main body of propaganda."

Eden nodded with satisfaction and picked up his coffee, "I hope Zhang Feng can win this reward."

At Adi's headquarters, a group of people were discussing fiercely in the conference room, and the leader knocked on the table and said:

"Quiet, arguing doesn't solve the problem, what we need now is how to deal with it in case we drop the game, NIKE won't give us time to argue".

"It's okay if we don't respond, so as not to lose unnecessarily," one person suggested.

The head of the "next plan" expressed dissatisfaction.

"Simple, if they use Zhang Feng as the key to do a young theme, we will have a wave of advertisements for Maddie and others, and Maddie will be in the Hall of Fame right away," one person suggested.

After listening to it, the leader began to ponder, this plan is really good, Adi Five Tigers - Maddie, Garnett, Billups, Arenas, Duncan all have such a large fan base, and a wave of nostalgia at the time when Maddie enters the Hall of Fame is a good way to deal with the "new generation".

In this way, with the warm-up of the Maddie Hall of Fame, a wave of discount sales will be made.

On the court, the game between MHP and LAUNFD had reached the end, but the score was still tight, and after Paul hit a mid-range shot, the score dramatically changed to 98:98.

Zhang Feng looked up at his watch, there were only 14 seconds left, and how to play this attack in the end needed to be studied, so he beckoned to pause.

"Let's grab two points quickly, it's safer," Nick Young suggested.

"It's easy for the opponent to shoot three-pointers, and Harden is a master of three-point shooting," DeRozan said.

"It's not easy, just guard against Harden and don't let him catch the ball," Nick Young smiled lightly.

"That's that easy, Paul is a good passer, a few pick-and-rolls are free," Randle objected.

Zhang Feng felt that it was not good after listening to these suggestions, the other party always had a chance to turn the tables, the key point was time, and he decided to gamble.

"I have an idea," Zhang Feng said, and all four of his teammates looked at him.

"I'm going to control the ball and hold on until the end of the day before I shoot, but I need all the help you can do to hold me down, and at most two people can defend me at the same time, how about that?" Zhang Feng said.

"No problem" The four of them said in unison, and they did not raise any questions about Zhang Feng's suggestion.
