The poor locker room made the 76ers not interested in staying with the Celtics for long.

After washing in the hotel, I took a flight back to Philadelphia.

On October 30, 2015, the 76ers were given a day off.

Zhang Zifeng didn't waste it, sweating like rain in the stadium.

Tomorrow will be the 76ers' first home court of the season, and Zhang Zifeng wants to show his best condition in front of the home fans.

On October 31, 2015, the 76ers will host the Utah Jazz.

Although the 76ers have a poor record in recent years, in the last game, 76ers rookie Zhang Zifeng cut a double-double record of 32 points and 11 assists, helping the team win away against the old rival Celtics.

76ers fans were immediately full of interest in Zhang Zifeng, a rookie, and they were eager to see the rookie's performance with their own eyes.

Today's home game against the Jazz has long been sold out.

Even so, there are many fans wandering around the Wells Fargo Center arena, hoping to sell their tickets to ticket holders who can't watch.

The Wells Fargo Center Arena, which can accommodate more than 21,600 people, was packed tonight.

The 76ers fans arrived early on the team, making the arena noisy.

Not only is the 76ers looking forward to this game, but Chinese fans are also paying special attention to this game.

After all, Zhang Zifeng's performance in the opening game was too good, which gave Chinese fans a shot in the arm.

They finally decided that Zhang Zifeng would not be a hurried passer-by in the NBA like Sun Yue and Liu Wei.

Countless people sat in front of their televisions and computers to watch the 76ers play.

Before the players even warmed up, the stadium was already noisy.

League President Xiao Hua was also present in the VIP stands, and the shrewd businessman hopes that Zhang Zifeng can perform well, and he understands how much popularity this will bring to the NBA.

Of course, it's not that he's going to intervene to let the 76ers win.

He came to the scene this time to see if Zhang Zifeng, a Chinese, is worthy of the alliance to praise him.

Then the league gave him some better treatment, such as a star whistle or something.

In the anxious waiting of the fans, the players finally played.

When the Jazz played, there was a flurry of boos at Wells Fargo Center.

Almost every away team has to face this kind of away treatment, unless the fans are particularly abusive, otherwise as long as the old birds who have been in the hotel for a few years will not care about this.

The Jazz players didn't pause and ran directly to the center of the arena, waiting with blank faces.

Zhang Zifeng, who was standing in the players' tunnel, looked at the three championship flags floating over the stadium.

Zhang Zifeng thought to himself, can I bring the championship to the 76ers after I retire? will still be like Barkley and them, empty-handed, and even like Yao Ming, they can't even win the division championship!

Just as Zhang Zifeng looked at the championship banner and fell into association, the DJ on the scene roared hard at the top of his voice, "Let's welcome our rookie guard...... 6 ft 6 in ............ Zhang Zifeng!! ”

When people's emotions were heard by DJ's introduction, they immediately boiled like boiling water.

Zhang Zifeng heard the shout and immediately ran out of the passage first.

In the first game, Zhang Zifeng's outstanding performance conquered Philadelphia fans, and in their eyes, Zhang Zifeng was the hope of the 76ers' revival.

They gave Zhang Zifeng superstar-like treatment and sent a tsunami-like cheer.

When the 76ers players all ran out, the warm-up time began for both teams.

Zhang Zifeng did not warm up for the first time, but walked to the Jazz half.

He walked to Rodney. In front of Hood, he hugged him.

Although in Duke University, Zhang Zifeng and Hood did not have a good relationship.

But that's a thing of the past, and now both men are in the NBA, on different teams.

In the commercial arena of the NBA, you never know who your teammates will be next season.

A college teammate who once had no interests entangled became very valuable in this business arena.

"Hey, long time no see. Rodney! ”

"Hey, Jack, welcome to the NBA! You did a great job last time! ”

"It's alright! When the game is over, don't go. I invite you to the bar for a few drinks! ”

"Okay, but don't think it's like bribing me. I'm not going to show mercy in a game! “

"Hehe, I think the win of tonight's game will be our 76ers. This is our home turf! ”

"Don't forget that you lost to me when you first came to the United States, and now that you just joined the NBA, you will still lose to me!"

"Later, I won you, and I can still win you this time!"

……

After a few gossips, the two made an appointment with the post-game meeting place, and then warmed up separately.

After the warm-up, Zhang Zifeng and the others all gathered around coach Brown.

After explaining the main tactics of the game, Brown shouted: "Tonight is our home stadium, and our fans are here to see your victory, not to see your frustrated faces after the game." We don't want the fans who supported us to go home disappointed tonight, so we will fight with our fighting spirit......"

Brown held out his hand, and all 76ers players put their hands on it and shouted in unison. "One, two, three, fight!"

Players from both sides played, and the Jazz started a facelift: Raul Neto, Rodney Hood, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Rudy Gobert.

76ers starting lineup: Isaiah Cannan, Zhang Zifeng, Hollis Thompson, Jaccar Sampson, Norrance Knowle.

As soon as the whistle blew, the referee threw the ball into the air.

Gobert pressed Knoll to steal the ball, and the Jazz attacked.

The basketball was passed to Neto, who flew into the halfcourt.

He saw Hood standing outside the three-point line asking for the ball, and Neto thought about it and passed the ball to the opponent.

Hood holds the ball high and faces Zhang Zifeng's defense.

Standing in front of Zhang Zifeng, Hood was a little excited.

In college, Hood lost to Zhang Zifeng, and his poor performance in the tournament led to him falling to the 23rd pick in the 2014 NBA Draft before being drafted by the Utah Jazz.

On the other hand, Zhang Zifeng finally chose to stay at Duke University, and played a phenomenal performance in the 2014-15 season, leading Duke University to win the NC+ championship, becoming the hottest star in the league now.

This made Hood ridicule and attack by many media this season, and determined that Hood was not as good as Zhang Zifeng.

Although Hood no longer hates Zhang Zifeng, he still has a breath of anger in his heart.

He wants to prove to those who look down on him that he is better than Zhang Zifeng.

In order to defeat Zhang Zifeng, Hood trained hard in the summer, and finally sat in the main position this season.

For the rest of the team, it was just a normal regular season.

But for Hood, maybe this is a crucial match, and he wants to prove that he is better and better than Zhang Zifeng.

Therefore, at the beginning, he took the initiative to ask for the ball and singled Zhang Zifeng.

Hood showed a determined look on his face, I will not admit defeat!

Zhang Zifeng didn't pay attention to the expression on Hood's face from beginning to end, his attention was all focused on the ball in Hood's hand.

Jazz teammates stepped to the sides to open up space for Hood to play singles.

Hood's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly attacked!
