The day after the April 7 competition, USA Today immediately published a report about the finals.

"In the 2014-2015 NC+ Finals that ended last night, Duke University defeated the University of Wisconsin 61-60 to claim its fifth title! Kaminski, despite his surprise performance in this game, contributed 24 points to the University of Wisconsin! But that didn't stop the University of Wisconsin's last-minute defeat. Because Duke has a better player than Kaminski on the roster! With 30 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, the score alone accounted for half of Duke's score. Without Zhang Zifeng, Kaminsky would have led the University of Wisconsin to victory! But it is precisely because of Zhang Zifeng's existence that the dream of winning the championship of the University of Wisconsin has been completely shattered! Zhang Zifeng is Duke University's well-deserved MOP in this season's Final Four! ”

The New York Post also praised Zhang Zifeng's performance in the finals as much as possible.

"Kaminski's confrontation with Zhang Zifeng was extremely exciting, but despite Kaminski's excellent performance on the night, there was no doubt that Zhang Zifeng was the one who performed the best. It is precisely because of Zhang Zifeng that Wisconsin's dream of re-winning the championship in 74 years failed to come true, and Duke University was able to achieve the final victory in this anxious competition! ”

You must know that NC+ has a special status in the hearts of Americans, and Zhang Zifeng's performance in NC+ has greatly increased the confidence of Chinese and yellow people.

Jeremy Lin did well at Harvard that year, but Harvard's Ivy League is in the NC+ division, and Harvard University did not have a standout performance in the tournament.

Now Zhang Zifeng is the first Chinese in the NC+ league to break into the finals, and the first Chinese to win the championship.

What's more important is that as the core of the team, he won the MOP of the semifinals, and he created countless records and firsts.

Chinese people in the United States talk to their colleagues about March Madness, and they can all bet proudly, and then say angrily, "We buy Duke University, they are the most capable to win the championship!" ”

Why?

Because our Chinese Zhang Zifeng is there, he is the strongest in the whole league.

And it's not just the national newspapers praising Zhang Zifeng's performance in the general game, on the second day, the media across China also reported Zhang Zifeng's performance in the NC+ finals this season, touting Zhang Zifeng as the future leader of the Chinese men's basketball team.

This is not only the first time that a Chinese player has led the team to the finals, but also the first time that a Chinese player has won the championship of the league as the core!

Today, 20-year-old Zhang Zifeng is already the hope of Chinese basketball.

When Yao Ming retired and Yi Jianlian has been unable to adapt to the NBA, Zhang Zifeng, as the No. 1 star of NC+, will especially likely become the first Chinese guard to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

Zhang Zifeng will undoubtedly be the best hope for Chinese basketball.

After the finals, NC+ announced the winners of various awards.

Zhang Zifeng was selected to the 2015 All-America First Team, All-American First Team, and won the Jerryest Award, the Wooden Award, and the Oscar Robertson Award.

On April 10, the Associated Press (AP) announced the NC+ Player of the Year and Coach of the Year candidates, and Zhang Zifeng and Duke University coach K won both honors, respectively.

Zhang Zifeng has won almost all the honors he can get.

For a while, Zhang Zifeng became the hottest topic in the United States, and almost all the United States was discussing the topic of basketball, all of which revolved around Zhang Zifeng and Duke University.

As the NC+ Finals come to an end, players who are confident of establishing themselves in the NBA have expressed their desire to participate in this year's draft.

Zhang Zifeng also officially announced on April 15 that he will participate in this year's NBA draft.

Although the NBA lottery draw for the 15-16 season was only held on May 20, 2015, it did not stop the heated discussion among fans about this year's prospective rookies.

Everybody is talking about Duke, everybody is talking about Zhang Zifeng, everybody is talking about which team Zhang Zifeng will join this season, and everyone is talking about how Zhang Zifeng will perform in the NBA.

This year's rookies are very popular, and although it is not a big year for the draft, there are a lot of potential players among them.

There are five or six who have the strength to compete for the top spot, such as Downs, D'Angelo Russell, and Emmanuel Moodier, who were very popular before, and of course, this year's NC+ championship team, scoring guard Zhang Zifeng and center Okafor who were selected for the first team of college students in the United States.

A large number of people feel that this year's champion is Zhang Zifeng from Duke University, who has performed too well in NC+ this season. He is sharp in scoring, good defensively, and a leader.

Among them, Alex Kennedy, the editor-in-chief of "BasketballInsiders" and a well-known basketball journalist, strongly supported Zhang Zifeng's election as the champion.

Of course, there are many people who oppose this view.

In the eyes of opponents, although Zhang Zifeng got the MOP, in the past ten years, only Melon Anthony and Noah can make a name for themselves after getting the MOP. The success case is not high.

And the most important thing is that Zhang Zifeng's physical fitness is good among the yellow race, but it can only be regarded as average in the NBA, and whether he can adapt to the confrontation of the confrontational NBA is also a big problem.

The editor-in-chief of the sports section of the Washington News made it clear that Zhang Zifeng definitely did not have the strength to be elected champion, and the 13-18 pick in the first round was the most suitable.

For a while, fans and experts were divided into two camps, chattering endlessly about whether Zhang Zifeng had the strength and qualifications to be elected champion.

While everyone was discussing Zhang Zifeng's priority, Zhang Zifeng was having a sweet candlelight dinner with Chen Wei, preparing to be warm...... Suddenly, there was a slamming of the door.

Zhang Zifeng angrily opened the door and shouted: "Dead fatty, if you don't have anything important, Lao Tzu must stab you to death with a knife!" ”

Didn't this bastard go looking for an endorsement, why did he have time to come to my side.

After Zhang Zifeng announced that he was going to participate in the NBA draft, he signed an agent contract with Zheng Xinguo on the same day.

Without a basic salary, Zheng Xinguo can only take 4% of Zhang Zifeng's basic salary, 5% of the endorsement fee in the first year, and 10% from the second year.

Since signing the contract, Zheng Xinguo has been full of energy, helping Zhang Zifeng find an endorsement all day long.

Zheng Xinguo doesn't care that Zhang Zifeng is angry now. Running excitedly shouted, "Kaede, good news." I've already talked to Pico with whom we've been in touch. 1+1 contract with the second year being a Pico option. In the first years, the cost was six million, and of course there was a bonus. The best team is 20 million for the first team, 10 million for the second team, and 8 million for the third team. The best rookie is eight million, the best rookie is five million for a while, and if he can make it to the All-Star, it will be five million. But these don't stack! As long as you perform well enough, you can get up to 26 million endorsement fees in the first year! ”

Zhang Zifeng was taken aback when he heard it, "It's gone up so much!" ”

Zheng Xinguo said proudly, "You don't want to think that you are better than last season." Of course, the price will go up! ”

"I'm just a little curious, they haven't entered the NBA yet, and they haven't played yet, so they are willing to give such a high endorsement fee?"

"If you get a result, it's your turn. Adidas and Nike are not desperate to sign you. You don't want to think about it, now the whole world is staring at the Chinese market. Back then, they missed Yao Ming and regretted how long they regretted it. What's more, you're still a defender, and it's easiest to sell shoes. They also saw your hard work and struggle this season, so they dared to bet on you! Zheng Xinguo helped explain.

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's sign a contract with them when you have time!" Anyway, after being selected by the team, I still have to think about the house, and when I need money! ”

Zheng Xinguo hurriedly shouted in his chest, "Feng, you don't have to worry about money. As soon as you're selected, more endorsements will come soon. I've already talked to a few big brands of life. All you have to do is play well! ”

"Alright then, you're sure you'll tell me at a good time! Do you have anything else to do? After speaking, Zhang Zifeng's eyes stared at the door, it's okay, get out of here.

"Oh, Chen Wei is also there. Then you continue to be busy, and I won't bother you. I also made an appointment with a few merchants! Zheng Xinguo found out that Chen Wei was there, and immediately ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Zifeng was rolling the sheets with Chen Wei, and when Zheng Xinguo dragged his fat figure around to discuss endorsements, an undercurrent was surging.

Overnight, suddenly many tabloids published that Zhang Zifeng had an old knee injury and cartilage damage, and he could become Auden's second.

For a basketball player, the knee is everything, no matter how amazing his talent and skill are, without a healthy pair of knees, it is useless.

The news of Zhang Zifeng's knee injury immediately shocked the whole United States.
