All the players surrounded Devin Booker and Zhang Zifeng, and countless microphones were aimed at the two of them.

However, after Devin Booker was warned by the Suns' management, he recalculated and returned to his normal IQ.

"Devon, are you saying that Zhang Zifeng's third pick didn't rely on his strength to get it?"

"No, I didn't say that. I just want to say that I feel like I'm underrated. I'll prove it in the competition! ”

With that, Devin Booker left the reporter and left.

Those reporters surrounded Zhang Zifeng, "Mr. Zhang, Devon said that you don't deserve to be in such a high rank, you are greatly overestimated." What do you think of his words? ”

Zhang Zifeng smiled and said: "I think whether a player has the strength to match his position, everything needs to be fully reflected in the game." Let's prove it all with facts. Everyone is welcome to watch my game, and you will find out all the conclusions when the time comes! ”

……

Devin Booker questioned the yellow race and suspected racist tendencies! —USA Today's post-draft headline.

Is it the market or the strength? We have reason to doubt the rationality of Zhang Zifeng's order! —Chicago Tribune

"I couldn't agree more with Devin Booker that the yellow defenders simply don't qualify for selection in the lottery. Jeremy Lin, Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Tian Wo Nengtai, and Fu Jian Yongshu are not good proof of this. Although Yao Ming performed well in the NBA, it has long been proven that not every yellow-skinned player is Yao Ming. As for what you said about NC+'s performance, everyone knows that NC+ and the NBA are completely different. The last MOP winner, now I don't know where it is. I said in the draft that Zhang Zifeng's reasonable pick is 13-18. But last night I couldn't believe my eyes, the 76ers actually took the precious third pick to pick Zhang Zifeng. Sam Kimchi's choice has to make me wonder where his lower IQ limit is! All I can say is that the 76ers in the new season are still ready to play bad again and compete for next year's top pick! ”

This is the Washington News columnist's comment on the 76ers' selection of Zhang Zifeng with the third pick.

And this report represents the view of the mainstream media in the United States on Zhang Zifeng's prospects. They didn't think Zhang Zifeng could deserve the third pick, and they didn't believe that Zhang Zifeng could play well.

In their opinion, Jeremy Lin is already the upper limit of the yellow race in the NBA, but with Jeremy Lin's current performance, he is only the right 13-18 pick.

New York airport, after participating in the draft. The rookie is about to start going their separate ways and reporting to a new team.

"Jack, it looks like you're not doing well. Rest assured, you're coming to the Lakers after the 76ers can't get around. I've got your back! Okafor said triumphantly to Zhang Zifeng at the airport.

Zhang Zifeng said angrily, "You better take care of yourself first!" Be careful to flash your waist in that place in Los Angeles, don't even hit the ball at the end. ”

As soon as he thought of that place in Los Angeles, Okafor laughed ****, "Jack, the next time you come to Los Angeles to play, I'll take you to the best nightclub a few times!" ”

Your sister, even if you want to take me to see the depraved life in the United States and see the evil of the capitalist world.

Can you talk about this topic in private, don't you see my girlfriend right next to me!

Seeing that Okafor's bastard was still immersed in his own beautiful world, Zhang Zifeng was helpless, and your IQ was worried. "Man, don't forget our goal!"

Okafor was woken up from Yiyin, "What, what did you just say!" ”

"Okay." Zhang Zifeng didn't bother to say anything more and said, "Goodbye, brother." Do well in the new season and be named to the first team of the best rookie team! ”

Okafor, Winslow, and Jones all waved goodbye, "Goodbye bro, and I wish you continued great performances in the new season!" ”

Seeing Okafor and them walk into the boarding gate, Zhang Zifeng felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

My college career is over, and now I'm really about to step into the brutal world of competitive sports. With great ambitions, the 76ers in Philadelphia took off.

On a direct flight, Zhang Zifeng and his party came to Philadelphia.

Zheng Xinguo went to deal with the transfer of the new house, which is not far from the 76ers training hall, surrounded by wealthy areas, with good security and convenient transportation. As soon as Chen Wei heard that it was her own house, she immediately decided to go with her and inspect the new house by the way.

Even if Zheng Xinguo said that this is a temporary place to live, as long as it takes a year or two, with Zhang Zifeng's strength, he will definitely be able to live in a better villa.

But women have a special feeling for the house, no matter how big or small the house is, good or bad, they value it very much, for them it is a safe nest, can shelter from the wind and rain, can get a spiritual habitat.

Zhang Zifeng doesn't understand this kind of thinking of women, she is anxious to see the house, so let's go and see it!

Zhang Zifeng went to the Philadelphia 76ers to report on his own, and for Zhang Zifeng, work is more important than a house.

At the 76ers' training gym, Zhang met head coach Brett Brown and general manager Sam Kimchi.

As soon as they met, Sam Kimchi put yesterday's Washington News newspaper in front of Zhang Zifeng and said, "Jack, I don't think you want to be called a parallel cargo scout!" ”

Zhang Zifeng said affirmatively, "Of course, I don't think anyone wants to bear this title!" ”

Sam Kimchi nodded and said, "I don't want to be a joke in the whole America, so I want you to take Brown's training and slap those people who look down on you in the face in the new season!" ”

"Okay, that's what I mean!"

"Okay, let's get started! Mr. Brown's next thing is for your coaching staff! ”

Starting today, Zhang Zifeng began training under the guidance of Brett Brown in order to better adapt to the NBA game in a few months.

Accompanying Zhang Zifeng in the training session was Tony Rotten, the 25th pick in the first round in 2012, and was the 76ers' main point guard for a while last season, averaging 16.9 points per game.

In addition to having the main players to accompany the training, improve the strength. Head coach Brett Brown designed a new tactic around Zhang Zifeng.

That's the good thing about a high-pick rookie, the team will train carefully and give more opportunities to perform. Just as a good student will win the favor of a teacher.

Under the careful guidance of the coach and his own hard training, Zhang Zifeng's strength has improved rapidly in the past month, especially gradually adapting to the NBA's three-point line and offensive blowing.

After nearly half a month of negotiations between Zheng Xinguo and 76ers general manager Sam Kimchi, on July 8, 2015, Zhang Zifeng and the 76ers officially signed a four-year contract worth $20.7 million, including a player option for the 2018-19 season.

After getting Zhang Zifeng's contract, the 76ers began to make adjustments to the team's lineup.

On August 1, 2015, the Golden State Warriors completed a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Warriors traded Gerard Wallace plus cash and future draft picks in exchange for Jason Thompson of the 76ers.

On August 13, 2015, Embiid's season was reimbursed, and in order to strengthen the depth of the center, the Philadelphia 76ers completed a trade with the Toronto Raptors, and the Philadelphia 76ers sent power forward Jakar Sampson in exchange for center Lucas Noquilla from the Toronto Raptors

On September 5, 2015, the Philadelphia 76ers signed a four-year contract worth $8 million with Kendall Marshall, which is not guaranteed for the 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

On September 28, 2015, the Philadelphia 76ers cut veteran forward Gerald Wallace, and after cutting him, the 76ers will still pay him an annual salary of $10.1 million for the 2015-16 season.

The 76ers' roster is basically decided.

Centers: Embiid, Nolens Knowle, Lucas Noqueira, Christian Wood.

Power forwards: Robert Covington, Karl Landry, Rejon Holmes.

Small forwards: Hollis Thompson, Jerami Grant.

Shooting guards: Zhang Zifeng, Nick Stauskas.

Point guards: Tony Roten, Kendall Marshall, Isaiah Cannan, TJ McConaughey.

On October 7, 2015, in the preseason, the 76ers will play against the Wizards.

Although it was only a preseason game, this was Zhang Zifeng's first appearance in an official game, which attracted countless media attention.

Countless people want to know what Zhang Zifeng's performance in the NBA will be, whether he is a parallel trade or whether he can really gain a foothold in the NBA.

76ers starting lineup: Cannan, Zhang Zifeng, Thompson, Covington, Noll.

Wizards starting lineup: Wall, Beal, Porter, Humphries, Gortat.

Zhang Zifeng started this game, and he will face Bradley Beal in this game.

Bradley Beal was also drafted with the third pick, except that he was drafted in 2012. This guy has excellent physical fitness, and in addition to his excellent shooting, he also has this strong ability to impact the basket. And he's defended very well.

Bradley Beale can be said to be the best person to test Zhang Zifeng's color.

Facing Bill, Zhang Zifeng felt a lot of pressure. But even if Kobe Bryant is in front of him, Zhang Zifeng will not admit defeat.

When Bradley Beale saw Zhang Zifeng, he took the initiative to say, "Oh, man. I've seen you play in NC+ and you've done a great job. ”

This sentence made Zhang Zifeng stunned, but he didn't expect Bradley Beal to watch his game.

But then it occurred to him that Duke University was so hot this year, and it was not surprising that he had watched Duke University's competition.

Zhang Zifeng said, "Thank you! Mr. Bradley, you're strong. But I'm going to beat you! ”

Bradley Beale smiled absently and said, "yes, then you can try to challenge me!" ”

After jumping the ball, Knoll grabbed the ball.

After Cannan got the ball, he saw that Zhang Zifeng had quickly rushed to the outside line on the right side of the Wizards.

Cannan passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng as soon as possible.

Zhang Zifeng received the basketball, jumped up and shot directly, brushed the ground, and scored three points!

Bill saw Zhang Zifeng running forward, and he hurriedly followed. However, when he just ran closer, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and shot directly without waiting for his teammates!

Seeing the ball go in, Bill remorseful and ran to the front court, ready to attack.

As soon as he reached the three-point line, Bill saw Zhang Zifeng sinking down and looking at himself seriously.

Bill laughed, "This guy doesn't seem to mean this!" ”

Bill shouted to Wall, "John! Pass me the ball, I'm going to single this guy out! ”

Wall heard it and immediately passed the ball over.

Bill received the ball and motioned for his teammates to walk away, and he wanted to single-handedly play Zhang Zifeng.

When the audience reporter saw it, they immediately became excited. Here, Zhang Zifeng is about to face high-level players in the NBA, how will his performance be. Can you still show the defensive level of NC+?

Bill dropped the ball and started. Dribble to the right, then quickly pull the ball to change direction and try to cut in from the left.

Zhang Zifeng moved his feet quickly, and he didn't lose his position, still facing Bill.

Seeing that Bill did not get rid of Zhang Zifeng, 76ers coach Ray Brown nodded appreciatively and thought to himself: "Compared with NC+ at that time, Zhang Zifeng now has a lower center of gravity when defending, and it can be seen that he has conducted quite strict training!" ”

"Not bad!" Bill Chen praised, "But it's not enough! ”

Bill didn't change direction, he directly carried Zhang Zifeng and rushed inside.

As soon as Bill exerted his strength, Zhang Zifeng's chest felt very uncomfortable, and his body was squeezed and retreated step by step.

Is this the NBA confrontation?

Sure enough, it's not NC+ that level can be compared, in NC+, there are very few people who can crush themselves like this to break through.

I can't imagine that Beal, a guard who is not known for being strong, can make himself unbearable, let alone a power guard like Harden.

It seems that he has to strengthen his physical confrontation again.

Although he couldn't bear Bill, let him push himself into the inner line, when Zhang Zifeng didn't give up, he still desperately entangled with Bill and put pressure on him.

Beal burst into the box, jumped high and threw the ball out.

It may be the new season, Beal hasn't found his form yet, and this ball is iron.

Knoll grabbed the rebound and saw Zhang Zifeng rushing to the frontcourt, and he sent the ball to Zhang Zifeng with a long pass.

This is the 76ers tactics designed by Coach Brown for Zhang Zifeng in the new season.

After Embiid's season was reimbursed, Noll was again a defensive center, and the 76ers' positional offensive ability was terrible.

In order to ensure the scoring rate and at the same time give full play to Zhang Zifeng's strength, Brown designed a quick counterattack tactic.

Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball to the front court and saw that the Wizards had already returned to defense.

Zhang Zifeng's fast-breaking figure suddenly stopped, jumped high, lifted the basketball like lightning, and threw it quickly.

The basketball arced past Beal's blocked palm and flew towards the basket.

"Huh!" Goal scored!

Zhang Zifeng felt hot in the opening game and scored three three-pointers in a row, and the 76ers led 9-0.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng's excellent performance, 76ers fans asked their companions around them. "Didn't you say that guy had a problem with his knee? Why do I feel like he's fine! ”

His companion shrugged and said, "I don't know, but this guy doesn't look that bad, and looking at his hand, looking at his movement, it's just amazing." Not even Bill could restrain that guy. At least now it looks a little bit of Reggie Miller's style! ”

"Well, if he can have Reggie Miller's level, I think Sam Kimchi made the right choice this time!" With his score, and then wait for Embiid to get healthy, one inside and one outside, that would be the best combination for the 76ers! ”

"We should look again, the game has just begun, and if this guy really has that good, then we'll let Sam Kimchi's poor house go." Cheer for this Chinese! ”

"Hmmm! Hopefully he won't let us down! “

Changed the main character to go to the 76ers. The information I looked up before was all wasted, and today I spent half a day checking the 76ers schedule for the 15-16 season, as well as the details of player transactions and players.
