Chapter 219: Providence
The 1996-1997 regular season officially began on November 1, and Dragonborn's "Red Alert" was also released on this day, which was a bit of a hit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Wei looked at the propaganda tattoo on his thick arm that was forced to be engraved by his father, and he could only admit it if he was reluctant.
Fortunately, this trademark can be washed off, otherwise how will he face the young ladies in the future?
In a blink of an eye, the new season has begun, and the media has been frantically hyping up the old grievances between the teams and players, as well as the performance of the teams in the new season. Fans focus half of their energy on their favorite teams and stars, and every year before the regular season officially begins, fans of each team feel that their players are capable of playing. But by the beginning of the season, everyone felt that the players from other teams were better.
Yes, that's what it has to be repeated over and over again every year. On the other hand, the media and fans are trying to find the lace news of the stars, but they just can't find the lace news of Zhang Mao, which is a very incredible thing, and it can be called one of the top ten strange cases in the basketball world.
Zhang Wei is worried about the choice of task difficulty, to be honest, the first two tasks have a lot of risk, if the third task continues to choose high difficulty, once there is any mistake, he does not have so many competitive points to lose, the most important thing is that BUFF and star cards are much more precious than competitive points, once you lose it, you will definitely feel sorry for the baby.
In the end, Zhang Fu used a very stupid method to choose.
On the evening of October 31st, his plan for tonight was to go to Miss Penelope, and if she was wearing a yellow or purple outfit in the evening, he would choose the highest difficulty, and vice versa, the third difficulty.
The final result can be described as twists and turns, because the temperature was a little low that day, the young lady really wore a lot of clothes at night, so the big handsome than took off for a long time and didn't see any yellow or purple objects, just when he thought that God wanted him to choose the third difficulty, the last shame on the young lady's body made him breathe a sigh of relief, it was a purple shame panties, it was really providential!
"It seems that I'm still inclined to challenge the more difficult!" Zhang Yu ripped off the purple shy panties, and then raised them high, "Okay, 70 wins is 70 wins, I don't believe that the Bulls and Jordan can do it, I can't fucking do it!" ”
Zhang Yu finally made up his mind and chose the most difficult task without hesitation before snapping.
The next morning, he also casually took away the young lady's shy underwear as a souvenir, and it was this purple ** that gave him the determination to hit 70 wins!
Jordan, who is far away in Chicago at the moment, has had several nightmares in a row, and his spirit is not very good when he wakes up in the morning, and he doesn't know what happened last night, in short, he has a very bad feeling in his heart, like being targeted by some cat, dog, koala or something.
Zhang Zhu slept very soundly this night, last night on a whim, he beat the No. 8 next door in virtual training, this will go to training with the young lady's private goods in the backpack, and happened to meet O'Neill's Rolls-Royce phantom on the way, and the two raised the middle finger to each other to show friendship.
The cars of NBA stars have always been the focus of after-dinner discussions, and those superstars not only own Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other top luxury cars, but there are more than one.
After O'Neill signed a contract of hundreds of millions of dollars, he bought three luxury cars this summer, and now the number of luxury cars in the family has exceeded ten, and the nouveau riche has a strong atmosphere.
Zhang Zhu's unqualified guy is no exception, these luxury car manufacturers rushed to sign a contract with him, and finally Zhang Zhu chose the BMW with the fourth highest price, although he didn't like this brand very much, but the money given by others was second only to Honda Toyota Mitsubishi, then of course he would not refuse.
However, Zhang Wei is not restricted from driving a BMW when he goes out, he can drive whatever he wants.
Of course, this can be regarded as an overlord treaty, or a very domineering kind, anyway, I haven't seen a situation where the spokesperson is not very willing to use your stuff after the manufacturer gives a high endorsement fee.
But this is Zhang Zhu, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, Japanese cars are still queuing up over there, they are willing to give more money, and they are willing to be grandchildren, and there are no restrictions on what Zhang Qiu usually drives.
However, when BMW pinched its nose and agreed to Zhang Fu's unreasonable request last year, it found that Zhang Qiu rarely drove other cars after signing the contract. Although Zhang Zhu's family also has five or six luxury cars of all kinds, he usually drives a BMW car, which makes BMW overjoyed, and many high-level executives thought that Zhang Fu would use this overlord clause to not drive their cars to travel.
Zhang Qi said: Lao Tzu just eats soft and not hard, and I have to pretend to be forced.
In fact, not only BMW, Zhang Zhu's endorsement terms are very domineering, but after signing the contract, he also really worked hard to help manufacturers publicize, and often made some advertising copywriting by himself, and usually tried to use endorsed products, and forcibly implanted advertisements under the camera at every opportunity.
This should be his style, and what he has always felt is too easy to obtain, people will not cherish.
Therefore, his employees are very small in terms of salary, and the treatment belongs to the more harsh kind.
However, as long as you work hard, you will find that bonuses and benefits add up to more wages than many companies with higher base salaries.
Well, because of the workload to get more money, it is still very harsh to calculate, which is not a good reason, it is simply an iron rooster similar to Sterling, quite a bit of Hong Kong TVB style.
Zhang Zhu is not only harsh on employees, but also on his teammates, just like little O'Neal in training is always reprimanded by him as a negative teaching material, and he is also very domineering and overbearing, privately formulating a training plan for O'Neal Jr., forcing him to complete how much training every day, and even the development direction is his suggestion, even the coaching staff dare not speak out in their hearts.
O'Neal Jr. didn't dare to be angry or speak, but Zhang Qiu was different from Jordan's blind domineering, after he criticized, he would find an opportunity to encourage him at the right time, and he would also praise O'Neal Jr.'s progress. Just like he will give his employees some sweetness from time to time, it is obviously an act of charity, but he can make employees grateful for this charity, which is the embodiment of the level of means.
In short, it is the combination of grace and power that China has been using thousands of years ago, beating you with two or three sticks and giving you a sweet date, so that little O'Neal quickly surrendered to the little boy, and it is also the impression of worship, respect, and fear, not the impression of a tyrant given by Jordan.
This is also a reflection of the level of emotional intelligence, usually in the conversation must be high level, simply put, the sassy words must be good, which is also very high IQ requirements.
Zhang Qi is very domineering and dictatorial, but he is a high-ranking businessman, capable of saying sassy words, understands human feelings, and has a keen sense of observation to understand people's hearts, and it is difficult for such a person to be a leader.
That's why a villain like Mason would be willing to be a green leaf for him. Mutombo, a man who naturally likes to let others help him arrange and plan, feels very appropriate for the Lakers. Van Exel, who was overwhelmed, was slowly convinced by him. As for little O'Neill, he can only be his little fan brother like Kidd, the kind who has to help Zhang Yu count the money after being sold.
The Lakers have been training a lot during this time, but Harris still feels that the team's run-in is not enough, and there is no shortcut in this situation except for increasing joint practice.
Zhang Wei himself has been practicing in the virtual space for several months, but the others have been practicing together for a month, which is not enough time for the team to complete the run-in.
His system only shows a percentage of 72% at this time, which is the degree of run-in of the Lakers at this stage, it is estimated that if it were not for the main framework to save the three, Zhang Zhu alone drove the percentage, the Lakers' run-in is not even 60%, and it will not be so easy to beat the Knicks and Clippers.
The evaluation of some neutral media is more fair, although the Lakers won both tough battles easily, but they basically relied on Zhang Fu's outburst to fight a wave.
This can only show that Zhang Zhu's speed of entering the state is amazing, other stars are still in the warm-up stage in the preseason, even Jordan is playing very average, only Zhang Zhu's state is the most outstanding, just like he just finished last year's playoffs, which also made many media fabricate the news of how hard Zhang Qi trained in the summer, as if they saw it with their own eyes.
In the afternoon, the defending champion Bulls face the Celtics on the road in the first game of the new season.
At this moment, many people, including Zhang Qi, want to see how the Bulls are doing in the new season?
No, who called the defending champions in the summer, except for the renewal of the players, almost did not bring in any quality players, even the role players are still the same. Therefore, the condition of this group is very critical, if the form of some of the key rotation players declines, it means that the Bulls' combat power will also decline, which is absolutely good news for other teams.
The result naturally disappointed many people, although Jordan's performance today was relatively sluggish, as if he didn't wake up, but the state of the second brother was not inferior to last season, and the performance of a role player was also remarkable.
This is not good news for other teams, everyone knows that Jordan has not relaxed his training in the summer, his form cannot be bad all the time, and this year's Bulls have not slipped in competitiveness.
Anthony Walker, who has always been favored by Zhang Mao on the Celtics, has been tepid, which seems to prove that his vision is still that way. And before the words fell, Stephen Marbury, another favored by Zhang Zhu, only got 8 minutes of playing time in his debut, and scored a pitiful 0 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds, which seems to prove that his vision is very vicious.
Zhang Wei finally looked a little bad after hearing the news that he had killed two rookies on the way to the "Forum Arena", but after a glance at the schedule, he found that he still had an insurance to die, and his most optimistic rookie Allen Iverson also had a game today, so he shouldn't look away anymore, right?
Iverson is really full of anti-drug attributes, and Zhang Wei did not forget to milk Iverson again at the press conference of his game.
But this rookie, who was already known in the United States before entering the league, still played a super performance of 30 points + 6 assists against Zhang Mao's poisoned milk, and his 63% shooting rate and 50% three-point shooting rate were also extremely amazing, and this debut was not inferior to Zhang Mao last year.
The only fly in the ointment was Iverson's failure to lead the team to victory, and he was far behind Zhang Mao in this regard.
But it doesn't matter, the media just needs to be selective.
Now a mongrel is about to catch up with Jordan's limelight, and Grant Hill, who once had high hopes, is about to be thrown off by this mongrel, and the whole United States can't find a player of the same age who can compete with Zhang Zhu, which makes the arrogant Americans a little unacceptable.
Therefore, the emergence of Iverson has been given hope by more people, and it can be said that the current Iverson is the hope of the whole village, and they urgently need a purely American-made genius to confront Zhang Mao, at least to the extent that they are evenly divided.
It looks good now, Iverson didn't get thrown off by Zhang Qiu at least in the start, so it will have to be celebrated with firecrackers.
It's a pity that before the string of firecrackers was finished, Zhang Mao regained the limelight.
Just kidding, how could he be stolen from the limelight? Who has a sass!
The Lakers' opponent today, the Suns, is the team that Zhang Fu often brings in for sparring in virtual training, and it is estimated that he is more familiar with himself than the Suns themselves, this team that has just changed its face, is less than 50% in terms of run-in, and Zhang Zhu is really more familiar with himself than themselves.
Therefore, a 127:95 defeat was not surprising at all, Zhang Mao's 45 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists also made people's attention shift to himself again.
Zhang Wei knew from this game that the Suns were finished, on the surface, they traded a Barkley for the Rockets' four-man general, as if they had earned it, but most of these four people clashed with their original lineup, Cassel and Kevin Johnson alone could not coexist, and everyone knew that this team would definitely make a trade.
The Lakers are very interested in this matter, because Cassel seems to be a point guard with more potential than Van Exel, although this guy is ugly, but he is extremely accurate, and he has excellent ability to control the rhythm, as well as a genius-level ball sense, in addition to being not as confrontational as Van Exel, this guy who can pull down the league's appearance by 10 percentage points alone happens to be a player that Zhang Yi admires.
When he chatted with Jerry West, he specifically mentioned this Cassel, and the original words were: If the Lakers have a chance to get him, then try to do their best.
So, now the Lakers have been in contact with the Suns, they are one of the potential buyers of Cassel, and are actively pursuing a three-way trade to get Cassel.
The Suns have no shortage of offensive point guards, and the Lakers have to find a third-party team to make a trade, so it's complicated if the deal gets done.
Fortunately, Cassel is not yet a difficult player to trade, and it can be seen from the attitude of the Rockets that he will give up when they say they give up, and he is not so valued.
Cassel certainly has potential, and anyone can see that, but the problem is that this alien-looking guy doesn't do well in the playoffs, which is very suspicious. And he has been on the bench for three seasons with the Rockets, and whether his performance as a starter will be better or worse, it is estimated that the Rockets are not so sure.
So how much potential he has is still a big question at this stage, so he is not as valuable as Van Exel.
Fan Maniac doesn't know that he is still in a state of being traded at any time, Cassel still has potential, but his potential has almost come to an end, and his contract is very good, the key is that Zhang Qian and the Lakers don't look down on him, if there is an opportunity to pick up cheap, then naturally use him as a bargaining chip to trade, and now it is not because of his attitude.
The Lakers are still considering a trade to bolster their roster, but that doesn't affect their game......
On November 3, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 110-99 at home.
Garnett only had 12 shots in the whole game, and his 12 points and 6 rebounds made him dwarf Zhang Mao's 38 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
Garnett really hurt today, don't look at Mutombo's defense of O'Neal will be tragic, but Garnett, who is similar in size, is familiar with defending it. Although the little wolf king's athleticism is better than last season, his skills and experience have not yet grown, and his running and jumping ability alone cannot defeat Mutombo, who is at his peak.
Two days later, the Lakers embarked on an Eastern Conference road trip, and they spent the next week and a half in the East.
Zhang Yi said that it doesn't matter, he has a lot of young sisters now, Miss Naomi and Miss Gwyneth happen to be filming in New York and Canada for a while, and he still has no shortage of bed partners.
"My goal is to have a young lady in all major cities around the world who can snap!"
Zhang Qi felt that she had found a higher ideal, a more ambitious goal.
The Lakers also have another tough game, and this time it's their turn to play the New York Knicks on the road.
But the result was very disappointing for the fans in New York, and the Knicks, who were also on a two-game winning streak, were still unable to play their advantage in the face of the interior line composed of Mutombo and Mason, but instead allowed Starks to take the opportunity to blast a 20-point and be stabbed by this former cancer.
Zhang Qi still continued his crazy performance, he was like a microwave oven, while other superstars were slowly looking for form, Da Shuaibi had already entered the rhythm of the playoffs, facing the meat grinder-like Knicks, still handed over 32 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, leading the Lakers to retreat from the road, and almost got the first triple-double of the new season.
"It seems a bit of a hassle to get another double-digit triple-double this season?"
Zhang Qi played three games and found that it was not easy for him to grab his teammates' rebounds anymore.
The main blame for this is that Mutombo is too cunning in his positioning, always standing still and taking rebounds down, which makes him have no choice.
And Mason's always likes to play the role of a high playmaker and snatch assists from him, which is also very hateful!
Mason and Mutombo would have vomited blood if they had known what he was thinking.
In these three games, Mason's rebounds have dropped sharply, and even the assists are not as many as last season, barely getting 12+6+4 data, and his points and rebounds are even lower than last season.
Mutombo is similar, his rebounds have dropped from 11 last season to nine, and although he has only played three games, it is predictable that the stats of these two inside players will definitely not go up from last season, and they will decline in eighty percent, because they have a big brother who is very good at stealing data from their teammates.
Zhang Qi said: He can't help it, if he doesn't do this, how can his task be completed?
What, you say scrap teammates?
Just kidding, as long as the team has a good record, then there is no problem, and whoever dares to say that he is a waste of his teammates, then be careful of his own house.
Besides, you don't even have a little sacrifice spirit, and you still take your sister's championship!
Zhang Qi took his teammates' rebounds and assists into his arms with such peace of mind, you must know that when the team is in trouble, he also stands up and carries the whole team, so it is also a very reasonable thing to let himself be in the limelight when the wind is down.
But I have to say that the Lakers are rock-solid on the inside defense this season, and they have overflowing output ability on the outside, and there is a nerve knife on the bench that is good at playing the regular season, which is really a set of lineups that are invincible in the regular season, so it is not surprising to win three consecutive games at the beginning, and five consecutive wins are just a small meaning.
After the Lakers got through the road on the road, even back-to-back couldn't stop them.
Zhang played 43 minutes on the road the next day, with a performance of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, successfully helped the Lakers kill the Hornets in the final three minutes of the fourth back-to-back.
Now that you see it, this shows his role as a big brother, don't think he'll only ruin his teammates!
The Lakers' schedule in November was not easy, with Game 5 just one day apart, this time against the Toronto Raptors.
It is worth mentioning that the template of the new rookie Marcus Camby in the draft is Mutombo, which really looks a bit of Mutombo's style, but he is too young to perform in the face of the main owner.
Although the Lakers are a little tired of continuous away games, but Zhang Mao's physical fitness this year is really different from last season, the last game back-to-back he was the same as the hanging, this game played another 40 minutes, although the shooting rate has declined, only 8 of 22 shots in the game, but he made 10 of 12 free throws, still cut 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and used a shocking hat to help the Lakers tide over the difficulties with a 1-point advantage on the road.
Not to mention, Zhang Qi has now found a bit of Jordan's feeling last season, these two games, the Lakers won very hard, and it can even be said to be a fluke, and at the last moment, it was Zhang Qi who stood up to lay the foundation.
But because of this, this wave of five consecutive wins can show his value, just like Jordan helped the Bulls complete a key blow at the most critical moment last season to take away the victory, Zhang Zhu's performance in key rounds this year has also made a huge leap, and his superstar flavor has become stronger and stronger.
