Chapter 51
After receiving the pass at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the outside line, Zhang Zifeng did not rush to attack, holding the ball in his belly with both hands, and looked at the Jazz defenders.
"I'll tell you, this is Utah today, not Philadelphia. I'm not going to let you be arrogant here! Hood shouted.
Zhang Zifeng smiled at him, the ball hit the ground, and he pushed the ball diagonally.
Hood was about to catch up when he suddenly bumped into Knorr.
Zhang Zifeng immediately quickly entered the inside line, facing Jeff Vichy, with a big stride to the right with his right foot, and his body to the right at the same time.
Strength is not Jeff Vichy's strength, but Jeff Vichy moves very well.
"Break to the right?" Jeff Vichy looked at Zhang Zifeng's posture, and this instantly came to his mind, and he hurriedly turned sideways, ready to meet him and give him a big hat.
Jeff Vichy's entire body is visibly tilted to the right.
Zhang Zifeng immediately followed the rebound of his right foot, took a big step to the left with his left foot, and stepped into the penalty area.
"Damn it!" Jeff Vichy had completely lost his center of gravity at this time, and he couldn't twist his body at all, so he could only watch Zhang Zifeng cross past him.
Zhang Zifeng stepped into the penalty area and jumped up to put the ball in the basket before Tre Lyles rushed over to make up for it.
"I'm scoring again!" Zhang Zifeng turned to look at Hood and said with a smile.
The 76ers are 35-37 Jazz, only 2 points away.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng dodge Jeff Vichy with a European step and make a layup, Brett. Brown stood on the sidelines clapping his hands and shouted, "Jack, this is how to fight, this is how to fight!" ”
As Zhang Zifeng gets better and better, the more likely the 76ers are to win, so that their position will be more secure.
Brown naturally hopes that Zhang Zifeng will have more offensive skills to help the team win.
Seeing the arrogance of the 76ers in themselves, the Jazz team suddenly felt very unhappy.
They booed Zhang Zifeng in unison with all their might, which was bound to put pressure on Zhang Zifeng, and at the same time put pressure on the home team players, urging them to play better.
Hearing the boos of the opponent's fans, Zhang Zifeng smiled, he had heard a lot of away teams booing him, and he had long been used to it.
Now Zhang Zifeng feels that this boo is more like a compliment to his performance.
Switching offense and defense, Hayward got into the basket with a cover and wanted to make a small throw.
Before he could land, he saw a big hand appear above the basketball in the air, and the ball flew out of bounds directly from the air!
After landing, Knoll yelled at Hayward, "If you want to score, I won't agree!" ”
A player with fighting spirit and a player without fighting spirit are completely two states.
With the return of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers players saw the hope of victory, and they became more proactive in the game.
Attitude is always the difference between how a player performs on the pitch!
It continued to be the Jazz's possession, giving people a big hat, and Hayward was very unhappy.
This time, Hayward quickly dribbled the ball over, made a quick stop, dummered, and flashed Knoll when he was ready to make a layup, and Grant came from the side.
Although it didn't cover the ball, it did interfere with the opponent's shot.
The ball hit the basket and bounced out.
Noll forced Jeff Vichy to snatch the ball and pass it to Zhang Zifeng, "This kind of hard work will be left to us, come on, Jack." Grab the points back! ”
Zhang Zifeng heard the corners of his mouth go up, "Okay, let's go." Let's score, let's win! ”
"It's Zhang Zifeng again, he receives the ball in the same position in the front court, and he still faces Hood, can Hood prevent the opponent this time?" The on-site narrator shouted.
Last time, Zhang Zifeng broke through and scored inside. This time, Hood was more attentive when defending Zhang Zifeng.
Zhang Zifeng's eyes looked at Grant, and Grant immediately came up from the left side to cover.
When Hood was about to beware of the opponent's cover, Zhang Zifeng suddenly started, without any technique, and directly ate the defenseless Hood with speed from the right side.
Throwing off his opponent, Zhang Zifeng entered the inside line and faced Jeff Vichy again, taking another big step with his right foot.
"Come back!" After seeing Zhang Zifeng's European cloth last time, this time Jeff Vichy was prepared.
This time, he didn't keep up, and was ready to wait for Zhang Zifeng to take the second step, and then adjust to keep up.
Seeing that Jeff Vichy didn't follow, Zhang Zifeng rushed over directly.
By this time, Jeff Vichy realized that it was too late.
As soon as he stepped into the restricted area, Zhang Zifeng soared directly into the air and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
At 37:37, it was divided.
tied the score, and added a wonderful one-handed slam dunk, which completely ignited the passion of the 76ers, and I saw big towels flying up and down on the bench!
Zhang Zifeng let go of his hand and landed, and the basket shook violently.
It was another breakthrough and Zhang Zifeng, and under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers equalized the score. Zhang Zifeng showed excellent form in his rookie season, and I can only say that the 76ers are really lucky! The on-site narrator said with some jealousy.

Coach Brown quickly called a timeout and laid out offensive tactics at critical moments.
"Jack, it's up to you to play the ball depending on the situation on the field, whether you play it yourself or pass it. But remember to hold back the rhythm and don't give the Jazz any respite. In the last seven or eight seconds, you attack from this side, and Landry, Grant, they're going to cover you. What if the ball doesn't work? ”
Zhang Zifeng nodded.
On a business trip today, I got up early and coded a chapter first, in case I broke off!
