Chapter 17: Failure to go head-to-head
Hood broke through from the right side with the ball, and his body stuck with Zhang Zifeng to cut inside.
Zhang Zifeng leaned sideways against the opponent, preventing the opponent from directly impacting the penalty area.
Hood took a strong step, took a step back, and then jumped up to shoot.
Zhang Zifeng jumped up immediately after Hood jumped, leaning forward slightly, his right hand straight.
Hood was taken aback at how Jack knew I was going to make a step-back jumper.
If Zhang Zifeng knew Hood's thoughts, he would definitely complain.
Dude, you've played this trick many times when we were head-to-head between us in college.
Why haven't you improved after all these years!
Hood didn't have time to think about how Zhang Zifeng knew he was going to step back, he was now thinking about how to dodge the block.
Hood tensed his belly and pulled his second half desperately, trying to use the air to create a shot for himself.
But apparently Hood is not Jordan, and he is not stuck in the air for 0.92 seconds like Jordan.
Feeling that he had fallen, Hood knew he had to make a choice and gritted his teeth and forced a shot.
Unsurprisingly, it was capped!
After landing on the ground, Hu De called a remorse, and in the first offensive round at the beginning of the game, he still lost to Zhang Zifeng.
The ball was photographed, Zhang Zifeng immediately started, grabbed the ball in his hand, and then started quickly.
On the other side of the ocean, in China, in every place where I watched the live broadcast of the five channels and penguin races.
Loud cheers erupted at home, in the school cafeteria, or in an Internet café.
"Crazy brother covered Hood's shot! Hmph, anyone who dares to be arrogant in front of the crazy brother should be careful to give away their hats. ”
"I remember when Crazy Brother first went to Duke, he was a substitute for this guy. Now, haha, he doesn't even have the qualifications to lift shoes for the crazy brother! ”
"Is a step-back jumper a great one? Everything is scum in front of the crazy brother! ”
……
Huaxia fans are typing with a snap, and the Penguin live broadcast platform floats past the lines of subtitles.
almost blocked the entire picture, forcing many people to turn off the subtitles.
They are staring at the live broadcast of the game seriously, in China, which can only produce inside lines, is there really a super guard who can gain a foothold in the NBA and fight against all kinds of strong players?
Zhang Zifeng's outstanding performance made them believe that all this was going to happen.
In the Olympic Games and the World Men's Basketball Championship, there are Yi Di and several big demons on the inside, and Zhang Zifeng on the outside to transport cannonballs to open up space. Combining inside and outside, the Chinese men's basketball team has the hope of setting a new record, and the top four will no longer be a dream.
Zhang Zifeng blocked Hood's shot and wanted to play a fast break.
But Neto's foul interference ruined the offense, the 76ers' possession.
Knoll sent the ball, and after Zhang Zifeng received the ball, with the help of Thompson's cover, he hit the inside line, disrupted the Jazz defense, and passed the ball back to Thompson.
As Thompson, who is the most accurate three-point shot except for Zhang Zifeng, he did not disappoint Zhang Zifeng.
Swish! hit a three-point shot and added an assist to Zhang Zifeng.
0:3, the 76ers opened the scoring.
The Jazz offense, dribbling the ball inside past half the court, and he once again gave the ball to Hood.
Facing Zhang Zifeng, a former teammate, Hu De has a strong desire to fight.
Looking at Zhang Zifeng, who was seriously defending in front of him, Hood thought at first that he came to the NBA a year earlier than Zhang Zifeng, and he felt that after a season of NBA training, he should be more powerful than Zhang Zifeng.
But after the previous attack, Hood realized how wrong he was.
He has not slackened this year, but Zhang Zifeng has not slackened either, and he is also working hard.
Holding the ball again to face Zhang Zifeng, this time, Hood did not dare to be careless.
Hood paid full attention to Zhang Zifeng's position, and the dribble gradually approached Zhang Zifeng.
Amid the noisy boos of the 76ers fans, Hood suddenly changed direction and accelerated after consecutive cross-dribbles.
Zhang Zifeng did not lose his position, he still followed Hood closely.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Zhang Zifeng, Hood dribbled with his back, shook his body twice, and suddenly leaned back, squeezing Zhang Zifeng a little, and then turned around sharply and jumped up to shoot.
It's a pity that Hood overestimated himself and underestimated Zhang Zifeng.
Although he was squeezed out of the way, Zhang Zifeng quickly reacted and jumped up to seal it.
Although Zhang Zifeng didn't cover the ball this time, Zhang Zifeng's block still put pressure on Hood.
Bang! The iron is struck.
Knoll stuck Gobert behind him and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
He passed the ball to Cannan,
Cannan controlled the ball over half court and handed it to Zhang Zifeng.
Although Cannan has good athleticism, he has a strong desire to attack and likes to score more than passing.
But after the warning of head coach Brown, he didn't dare not hand over the ball to Zhang Zifeng to deal with, and then ran to the bottom corner to wait for the pass to shoot.
After receiving the ball, in the face of Hood's defense, Zhang Zifeng made a feint, followed by a cross-step, and then turned around with a pull ball to get rid of Hood's defense, and then accelerated into the basket.
Zhang Zifeng rushed to Gobert to pounce on the ball with a pull-up jump shot.
See the opening 76ers 5: lead the Jazz. The 76ers fans at Wells Fargo Center couldn't contain their excitement.
Last season, the 76ers were super garbage, winning only 18 games and losing 64 games in one season, ranking second to last in the league.
Originally, they all thought that this season would still be as bad as last season, and then they prayed that they would draw the top pick.
didn't expect that this season, at least the 76ers looked good, they didn't surrender and pressed the Jazz to play.
They also know that the 76ers lineup this season is not good, and Embiid is also reimbursed for the season, so they don't expect the team to hit the championship or anything, which is unrealistic and unrealistic.
Their request is simple, don't mess up, and let them go home happy after most of the games at home.
Now it seems that this Chinese is doing well, and the 76ers fans did not hesitate to give Zhang Zifeng a round of applause.
Hood's opening few singles didn't work well, and Hood wasn't the boss of the Jazz, and the Jazz couldn't possibly let him play like this endlessly.
This season, the Jazz are touting small forward Hayward.
Neto quickly pushed forward and immediately put the ball in the hands of Hayward.
Hayward used the cover to shake off Thompson, who was marking him, and rushed inside for a dunk to end the offense.
In the next few minutes, Hayward directly broke Thompson, leading the Jazz offense to blossom and play a 13-4 mini-spurt.
With the team behind, Zhang Zifeng stepped up, scored on a breakaway to stop the bleeding for the team, and then assisted Thompson on a three-pointer.
At 13:13, the two teams were tied.
The two teams drew several times, and the score alternated upwards.
In the 9th minute of the first quarter, Zhang Zifeng went to rest.
Replaced by Stauskas, the 76ers' defense was completely lost, and the Jazz played a wave of 8-0 small climax.
At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers ended the first quarter with a six-point deficit at 28-22.
Looking at the team falling behind, Coach Brown frowned deeply on the field.
The 76ers have really had a lot of problems with their roster this season, and he's been trying to strengthen the team through trades since the summer.
But because there are no good resources in hand, there are no good players to trade.
Now the highest transaction value in the team is Zhang Zifeng, and many teams have called to inquire about transactions.
But Zhang Zifeng is not for sale in the team, how can he be traded.
If he doesn't agree, neither the general manager nor the owner of the team will agree.
Coach Brown refused without even thinking about it.
Those better free agents don't want to come to the bad team, the 76ers.
Coach Brown knew that the only way to do this was to tap into the potential within the team, or to develop better and more appropriate tactics to strengthen the team.
