"In small scenes, I tried to hit 36 three-pointers in a row in practice."

At the post-game press conference, as soon as Zhang Zhu's words came out, Finley couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, thinking that his boss was pretending to be a little too much, right?

The reporters in the audience also had disbelieving expressions, but Zhang Zhen didn't lie, and the two girls who picked up the ball for him were still Hepburn and Qingxia, and 36 three-pointers in a row were indeed the highest record in his training, but not in reality.

Zhang Zhu's shooting stability this season has greatly improved compared with last season, but he will still encounter some unstable feelings, such as he has shot 8 of 0 three-point shots in the game, but he has also had a nerve knife performance of 10 shots and 8 of them.

Today's game is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of his career, and after the game, his stats were fixed on 50 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, with a total of 17 of 20 shooting, 14 of 17 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. Among them, 50 points set a new record for the highest scoring in an All-Star Weekend rookie game, and hitting 14 three-pointers in a single game also set a new record for three-point shooting in an NBA game.

Zhang Zhu himself thinks that the record on the All-Star may not be counted, but in fact there is no problem, his worries are superfluous, at this stage, the NBA will only exclude the preseason data when the statistics of the single game data are the most, but the records in the regular season, playoffs and All-Star games are counted together, although it is not ruled out that the NBA will calculate the data on the All-Star separately in the future, so that the NBA's highest single-game three-point record is still the previous 11, but this record is still created by Zhang Zhu, which is the most sassy.

"I don't have any goals tomorrow, I don't have any idea of breaking any records, we all know that three-pointers rely on feel, and there's no guarantee that you'll have a touch. Also, I don't think I need to prove myself with any more records, this game has already proven that I am the 'three-point king'. ”

Zhang Yu quickly installed a bigger 13 than before, and this time all the rookies glanced in his direction, and of course they were a little uncomfortable.

Off-court reporters can't refute Zhang Mao's words, today he did prove his three-point shooting ability, if he is not convinced, he will break his record, then he can naturally slap him in the face, even if it breaks his 11 three-point records in a single game in the regular season, but no one can do it.

Until now, only one Scott in the league has completed the same single-game 11-goal record as Zhang Zhu, but today Zhang Zhu has expanded this record to 14, which is basically a record that can no longer be surpassed, just like Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game, and later people can only look up.

Of course, Zhang Ju still has a chance to break this record, after all, he is only 19 years old, which is too young!

After returning to the hotel after loading 13, the koala baby found that he didn't seem to be so tired, and even more energetic than before the game, which made him regret not bringing his little sister here.

The night is long, and Zhang Qi, who has no slap, can only go to the virtual space to practice with the two young ladies who can only watch but not smack, and it is another boring day!

But it was precisely because he didn't bring a young lady that Zhang Qian had a neurotic performance tonight.

Zhang Yu knew that he was as hungry as a rabbit, so he had to be out of sight to be clean, so that he could put away 28 and honestly train his three-pointer in the virtual space to keep his touch.

The real reason why tonight's three-point shot was so accurate was that he had been practicing his three-point shot in the virtual space the day before.

These two young ladies who can run at a speed of 8 seconds in 100 meters are fully capable of allowing him to shoot tens of thousands of rounds in one night, which is of great help to his shooting touch the next day.

A lot of great shooters know the trick, if there's an important game tomorrow, then the night before, and the morning of the game, you have to practice a lot of three-pointers, and you have to practice until your hands get tired, so that you will have a good feel in the evening game, and the chance of exploding will be very high.

Some fans may ask, if both hands are numb, won't this affect the feel of the game?

Ordinary people will definitely be affected, but professional players will not, especially those sharpshooters who are good at long-range projection, their normal training volume is already very high, and their bodies have long been accustomed to this feeling of fatigue, and the recovery speed is much faster than normal people.

So, when they train in the morning until their hands get tired, then they can recover in the evening, when the muscle memory of their hands will be exceptionally clear, and the players will generally be in better shape than normal.

Reggie Miller and others can practice up to a thousand three-pointers a day, but Zhang Yu is not just a thousand three-pointers in one night, he can spend five or six thousand competition points in the virtual space to use the "recovery card" to restore his virtual physical strength, plus the non-human picking speed of the two young ladies, even if he practices more than 5,000 three-pointers in one night, it is no problem, this additional number of exercises makes it difficult for him to think about the state of the next day.

Of course, this is serious cheating, but you have to use up at least two platinum-level recovery cards priced at 3,000 points for one night of training, plus the super boring training process, only on this occasion or in the key game of the playoffs, Zhang Qi will use it, otherwise the consumption of skill points alone will not be able to make ends meet.

In today's rookie game, Zhang Qi can earn at least tens of thousands of competition points, so that he can earn back the two platinum cards he used up yesterday.

If it's just an ordinary game, no matter how well he plays, it's one or two thousand points, and he can't even earn back a card.

On February 8th, Zhang Fu slept until almost noon before getting up, anyway, except for two hours of training in the afternoon, there is no place for him to practice shooting these days, so it is better to get up later and train more in the virtual space to increase the probability of winning tonight.

dragged on until noon, and Zhang Qi had to get up to fill his stomach.

At this moment, the third commercial of "Minotaur Coffee" is playing on TV, and the heroine is replaced by Kate Beckinsale, a British high-IQ young lady, and Zhang Zhu's system shows that the British young lady's appearance has reached a high of 93.

A few months ago, this substitution made Miss Theron feel emotional for a while, and Zhang Fu used a lot of cards to get it.

The ad is still in a Minotaur café, where a lonely beauty on TV is holding a cup of coffee that costs less than a dollar, and savoring the cheap coffee in her hand in a shot with a strong sense of art (zhuang·bi).

Then, naturally, it was accompanied by a more pretentious monologue -

"Happiness is not immortality, nor is it food or power in your hands."

At this time, the camera shows the same cheap pastries on the table, but not cheap at all, and a Dragonborn magazine with a photo of the White House printed on it. Although, in reality, there is no such magazine, this is just a forced implant by the Dragonborn Corporation.

The monologue on TV continues-

"It's every tiny wish that comes true, or when you're hungry to have food to eat, or when you need love, someone to love."

The voice fell, and the camera turned to a handsome man named Zhang Yu at the right time, and the final picture was the young lady smiling sweetly at the camera, and then the screen went black, and it was actually an open ending!

Finally, a line of font dedicated to the funeral family was typed on the screen: "At every moment, there is a minotaur with you." ”

To be honest, the duration of this ad is shorter than the previous two, and the whole process is only 20 seconds, of which the young lady herself takes up half of the page.

However, the response after the TV broadcast was very good, in addition to the appearance of the whole advertisement is always online, the impressive pretending lines are indispensable, plus Zhang Zhu's advertisements have always had gorgeous shots and colors, the shots of this advertisement are luxurious and not vulgar, it is not accurate to describe it as romantic, that kind of beauty, you can only understand it.

"I'm so good at shooting commercials!"

Zhang Zhu is very satisfied with his new advertisement, and the fact that his Minotaur Coffee can develop so quickly has a lot to do with this unique advertisement.

In many cases, a classic advertisement can make a brand.

Zhang Wei has more than one film, and every year and a half, he will make a classic advertisement for his Minotaur brand, and success is naturally a natural thing.

At noon, Zhang Mao had lunch with his Lakers teammates.

An hour later, the four of them went to the designated training hall for warm-up training, and took the opportunity to communicate with their teammates in tomorrow's main game.

Magic did not come to the All-Star this year, in fact, in the past month, Magic has rarely played, Big Ben's playing time has been increasing, the Lakers' strong interior strength does not need Magic to drag his sick body to fight, if he can win a championship with the Lakers this year, Magic is ready to retire.

Zhang Wei is also familiar with these guys, this year he is less immature to cause trouble, although many times he will still seem to be unsightly, but the status second only to Jordan makes these stars not take the initiative to go against him, and there is no problem in meeting and saying hello.

The Lakers have three players participating in tomorrow's main game this time, plus Finley who has a show in the evening, Zhang Zhu will not fall into the embarrassing situation of being ignored, and the four players of the Lakers team alone can form a small group.

"Hey Leon, we're teammates again."

Van Exel took the initiative to come over to say hello, it seems that he is not too deep in Zhang Mao, although the koala baby feels that this is because he went to the Clippers to perform better, so he has the confidence to greet his old teammate, a little bit of swagger, roughly meaning: Look, I left the Lakers but performed better, the status is higher, and I was selected as an All-Star, do you still think this deal is earned?

Kidd was a little embarrassed on the side, Van Exel averaged 20+ points per game before leaving the Lakers, and after going to the Clippers to be reused, he now averages 5 points and 4 assists per game, a proper All-Star performance.

"You've done a good job."

O'Neill actually came up and said something, which made Zhang Mao stunned.

"I love Resident Evil too!"

The fat man added again, Zhang Yu finally understood now, is this thing trying to find a topic to ease the relationship with himself?

He guessed correctly, and O'Neill also found that it was not a good idea to go against Zhang Yi all the time, mainly because it was not good for him, so naturally there was no need to continue. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it would be good if they could reconcile, anyway, they don't actually have much communication except for the competition on the court, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't be the enemies of life and death.

After Zhang Wei felt O'Neill's kindness, he also took the opportunity to go down the steps and said, "Shaq, do you want to win this year's AMVP?" ”

O'Neill was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then found that this was a step handed by the other party, and immediately smiled: "That's right, so I need your help." ”

Finley showed a strange look not far away, and secretly scolded O'Neill for daring to ask Zhang Yu to help, didn't he see how tragic Garnett was yesterday?

"Don't worry, although we are mortal enemies in the same city, and even have personal grudges, but now we are all-stars, we are a team, standing on the same front, I will help you defeat your opponents."

Zhang Zhu still said it unclearly, but this has made O'Neill very satisfied, he feels that he can fully understand the meaning of Zhang Fu's words, and the response he received from his previous initiative is that Zhang Zhu is willing to help him get AMVP, so that everyone can naturally meet and laugh afterwards.

But as Finley thought, O'Neal didn't know that Zhang Qi said something clearer than this to Garnett yesterday, but he finally cut off his beard, and the dead fat man actually thought that Zhang Qi wanted to reconcile by helping him get AMVP, which was naïve enough.

Gary Payton also misunderstood that the two wanted to reconcile, and he also felt that Zhang Mao wanted to help O'Neal get AMVP to eliminate past grievances, but did he have to ask him about this matter first?

O'Neal wants to win AMVP, doesn't he want Uncle Peyton?

Gary Payton has long been determined to win this year's AMVP, calculating his age, he is already a 7th grade veteran, these two years are his peak, and he also reached the Finals last year, becoming the only player in NBA history to get DPOY as a point guard.

But it's very unfortunate that O'Neal also has this idea, he also has some qualifications in the fifth grade, and he is an All-Star starting center for four consecutive years, or the scoring champion the year before last, as if no one has played in the finals, is he not qualified to win AMVP?

Gary Payton and O'Neal suddenly looked at each other unpleasantly, but the former didn't know how to get close to Zhang Yutao, so he also went up and said, "I like your game?" But it sounds awkward, or "Leon, I know a few beautiful women with long legs, can I introduce them to you?" ”

Fortunately, Peyton didn't say so in the end, otherwise Zhang Yu would definitely laugh at him secretly: "You stay and go, Lao Tzu knows a lot of young ladies with convex and backward legs, not only Western beauties, but also Eastern beauties, and they are all infantry attributes, which can be snapped and flirtatious, and now there is almost no anime area and black pearl beauty, do you still need to introduce it?" ”

Through the two-hour joint practice in the afternoon, Zhang Qi had an illusion in his heart, that is, he seemed to have suddenly become fragrant and sweet?

"Is my popularity so good?"

It is not surprising that Zhang Zhu came up with this idea, since O'Neal wants to have a good relationship with Zhang Zhu, then the Clippers trio will naturally not have any conflict with Zhang Zhu, and Van Exel and Eddie Jones are former Lakers players, so Zhang Zhu is equivalent to having 5 teammates who can cooperate, plus himself, this small group instantly accounts for half of the number of Western troops.

Gary Payton's side is alone, and there is only one Camp on the whole team who is his own.

However, there are more and more news about the discord between the two of them over salary and status, and this small group of only two people actually has cracks.

With Kemp's contract set to expire this summer, the SuperSonics seem to want to squeeze Kemp's next contract the same way the Magic did with O'Neal, and the result is that the situation within the SuperSonics is very similar to last summer's Magic, with the two leading stars secretly battling over contracts and status, and the boat of friendship is overturned.

In the evening, the league played the All-Star Game of the Development League.

Zhang Qi doesn't know much about these development league players, so he doesn't plan to show his face on the spot, anyway, his fame no longer needs to go to the sidelines to attract attention with all kinds of exaggerated expressions and body movements, North American fans can see a bunch of his advertisements as long as they turn on the TV.

Now, in addition to the advertisements of the Minotaur and the Dragonborn, basically to the airline and down to Durex, there are faces of Zhang Zhu.

At 20:30 p.m., the 1997 "Slam Dunk Contest" will begin.

Zhang Wei came to the scene half an hour early, he was wearing a villain white suit, and he was going to sit with several old men after a while, and the camera looked very discordant every time he came to him.

This year's slam dunk contest has five judges, in addition to Zhang Zhu, who is more eye-catching than the players on the court, the other four judges are "Potato" Webb, "Dr. J" Julius Irving, "Scoring Machine" Rick Barry, and "Refrigerator" Kevin McHale.

"Leon, have you ever thought you'd come to the slam dunk contest again and participate in this competition as a referee? How are you feeling? ”

Zhang Wei was blocked by reporters as soon as he arrived at the scene, but the questions he asked were basically within his expectations.

"Sitting in the jury was a very interesting angle and I found it very interesting. But I wondered, why would I have a microphone in my seat? ”

Zhang Fu replied and then asked a question, and then made a bitter face to the media, and replied himself: "They told me before that they only needed to hold up a sign to score the contestants, but after I came to Cleveland, they told me that I had to work part-time as a commentator?" ”

The reporters laughed when they heard this, the league obviously cheated Zhang Zhu this time, there was originally a special commentary on the slam dunk contest, but from this year onwards, the commentary will be served by the judges, and today Zhang Qian is going to take this position, who called him a sharp mouth.

Zhang Wei didn't mind serving as a commentator, he was too powerful for blacks and poisonous tongues, but the alliance didn't tell him about this until daytime, which was a bit too much.

A reporter continued to ask: "We all know about your amazing performance last year, may I ask you as a judge later, what kind of criteria do you use to score the contestants?" ”

With some unhappiness, Zhang Fu replied: "That's a good question, you can get 50 points for jumping a chair dunk before, but if anyone does this today, they can only take 5 points from me, so you should know my standards, right?" ”

"Excuse me, what kind of dunk will make you give a high score?"

"The great dunks in history all have a common characteristic, which is that we will be more chaotic when we watch slow-motion replays than when we watch the intuitive action of the scene, and such dunks are high-scoring dunks."

"Excuse me, which player are you most optimistic about tonight?"

"Let's put it this way, I hope this year doesn't become the worst slam dunk contest."

Zhang Zhu's answer is equivalent to not even giving Finley face, and the interview is over, and he is ready to go to the judges' table.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Yi had to be polite to a few old-timers.
