Chapter 103: Blow Pistol
Zhang Qi is about to fight against Hill, who is highly praised by FILA, which is a big deal in Nike's eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since FILA entered the NBA in 94, he has been playing with the calculation of becoming another Nike.
Instead of using a wide-netting strategy and Nike to fight hard, they are aiming for a real potential rising star to place a heavy bet.
This strategy is very similar to the later UA staple Curry, who both wanted to use a successful classic case to drive the image of the entire brand.
Nike didn't make up its mind to compete with FILA last year for Grant Hill, who became an All-Star voter, and has the momentum to replicate Nike's miracle in the '80s.
This is also one of the reasons why Nike is willing to sign Zhang Yu this year, otherwise the two hottest rising stars have nothing to do with him, and after Jordan stretches his legs in a few years, Nike will really be in a full passivity.
However, this signing came a little late, Zhang Zhu's "Dragonborn" brand has just established its name, not only has the production line not been established, but the laboratory has not been established, and now even the shadow of sneakers has not been seen.
If you want to design a great sneaker, it's not just a drawing, there are so many things involved, Nike doesn't even plan to come up with a finished product this season, Zhang Zhu's first sneaker can come out in the playoffs as early as the earliest, don't expect Zhang to wear his own sneakers to the game on the All-Star.
Therefore, the current Zhang Qi is still wearing Jordan's AIR· JORDAN· XI sneakers.
After Jordan signed with Nike, he personally gave him a pair of signed shoes from the 11th generation through official personnel, and welcomed him into the Nike family in this way.
However, Zhang Yu didn't wear the pair that Jordan gave him today, he was worried that it was poisonous, or he did something.
Singers can't easily drink drinks sent by others, because there are many cases of poisoned throats; Actors can't use other people's cosmetics casually, and there are many examples of being disfigured; In ancient times, concubines did not dare to eat food given by others after they became pregnant, and there were also many examples of being poisoned.
It's the same with sports stars, peers are enemies, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, although "killing the father and usurping the throne" has not happened rarely, but there are many examples of abolishing the prince.
Even if Jordan doesn't have this mind, it's hard to guarantee that his agent won't, and it's hard to guarantee that his subordinates won't.
He didn't dare to wear this pair of sneakers sent by his father, he was wearing a pair of Jordan 11th generation that he bought today.
The Detroit Pistons haven't been able to re-establish themselves as a league team since the Bad Boys disbanded — not last year, not this year, and that's where Zhang thinks he's better than Hill.
Grant Hill helped the Pistons improve from 20 wins last season to 28 wins in his first year, but that improvement wasn't impressive, and it wasn't a big show for it.
The Lakers won 48 wins last year and ranked fifth in the West, but you must know that the overall strength of the Western Conference is much higher than that of the East, and the Lakers used two main players to trade Zhang Fu, so the general attitude of the media is that as long as the Lakers enter the playoffs, even if Zhang Mao is awesome, but he is obviously doing better than the highest expectations of the media and fans.
If you feel that you can't accurately judge the level of the two rookies by the number of wins and losses.
So to see who has a better record with the team this season should be the most convincing criterion for judging.
Zhang doesn't feel that such a comparison is unfair to him, and he now leads the Lakers to an 11-8 record, and Hill is 8-10, so he is in the lead for the time being. And this game is even more telling, who can win today's game and play better will directly affect the outcome of the All-Star vote.
"Leon, do you have the confidence to defeat Ciel? Of course, you have to know what I'm asking first. ”
Detroit reporters asked Zhang a question before the game, which was full of provocation.
The average player can choose to ignore this kind of question, but Zhang Ji will not back down, he will inevitably fight back.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're asking, but I looked at the weather forecast in Detroit, and the beautiful announcer told me that the palace in Auburn Hills is going to be dark tonight, twilight is coming, dawn is going to disappear, the darkness is coming, do you feel scared?"
Before Zhang Yu set off from the hotel today, he specially sorted out his hairstyle, he had to beat his opponent in terms of appearance first, and of course he couldn't fall behind in his mouth.
The reporter in Detroit was very unhappy, Zhang Qi seemed to be no different from the villain at this moment, and his words were also the villain's lines.
"Don't you think that saying such an evil dialogue will make you look more like a villain?"
Another Detroit reporter asked again, in fact, this remark was already a reckless satire that Zhang Mao was a "villain".
"I don't feel evil at all, because to measure whether a person is evil or not, you have to look at what he did when he was in power, and I have not yet ascended the throne as king." Zhang Zhu in turn squeezed the reporters in Detroit, and then laughed, "But a handsome person like me is generally the protagonist in movies!" ”
The reporters in Detroit were speechless, they couldn't do anything about this guy who was strangely thick-skinned but unusually neat-skinned.
The reporters in Los Angeles watched with a smile as the Detroit reporters were killing themselves, and when they saw that the guys were not moving, they helped Zhang Fu ask a question that fell into the ground.
"Leon, before the game, do you have anything to say to Lakers fans in Los Angeles?"
"Of course there is, I want to tell them, 'The ashes of the enemy pave the way to conquest, and I am destined to be the leader of the Lakers!' ”
The Detroit reporter was embarrassed for a while, is this bastard mocking them?
Zhang was taunting them, of course, and he once again completed the task of verbally fighting and returning home triumphantly at the pre-match press conference.
An hour later, the Pistons' appearance ceremony was nothing to see, and since Zhang Fu enabled the personal ceremony of "sprinkling magnesium powder", the live camera will definitely give a close-up of his opening action.
Zhang is only ready to perform his opening action of "sprinkling magnesium powder" at home, and when he arrives away, his pre-game action will become a hanging net kissing the basket, which is different from pull-ups, he will not burrow his head into the basket, and the height of the pull up will only be able to kiss the basket.
In addition to the unusual opening action of home and away, he also designed his own celebration after scoring a wonderful goal, and there are two, also home and away.
When he is at home, he likes to put his hands to his ears and make a "listen" gesture, which means "where are your screams", and at that moment he seems to be listening to the cheers of the audience!
And when away from home, he will make a "blow pistol" action, which looks calm, but is full of domineering, and the enemy will either be afraid or lose his cool when he sees it.
But today is different, today his desire to fight is too strong, and after the appearance, he couldn't help but come to the technical table, smeared his hands with magnesium powder, and threw it into the air with all his strength.
The courtside camera still gives him a long close-up, white magnesium powder floating in the air, but at this time he is no longer dominant, but enjoying the huge boos of 20,000 Detroit fans, Pistons fans pointing up at him, humiliating Zhang in the most cathartic way.
Zhang Wei smiled instead, just in time to see a camera next to him always following him, he simply pretended to be forced to the end, and said coolly to the camera: "I just want the whole NBA to know that this entire stadium has been contracted by me." ”
Many fans in front of the TV couldn't help but squirt out various drinks in their mouths when they heard this.
Zhang Fu's words are indeed domineering, but isn't it a bit too secondary?
Hill is much more elegant on the other side, not as many tricks as he has at all, and people are just shooting quietly, being a quiet beautiful man, and making judgments from a high level.
But speaking of which, Hill's personality and temperament really don't match the Motor City.
Detroit is a blue-collar city, and the fans are mostly working-class, as evidenced by the foul language that fills the stadium with foul language greeting Zhang Mao.
This team is full of rugged and brutal temperament from top to bottom, and the elegant Hill is incompatible with the temperament of this team.
Zhang Zhu resisted a lot of scolding, ran under his basket again, jumped up and grabbed the net, and did three times to pull the net and kiss the basket.
Hill's heart is not as calm as it seems, Zhang Mao's pre-game moves are full of creativity and gimmicks, and they are indeed very eye-catching, but he feels that these actions are too flamboyant.
There are indeed many fans in front of the TV who have been attracted by Zhang Zhu's series of crazy and cool hanging actions, but more people are looking forward to his performance in the game.
If there are just a lot of tricks before the game, and the game will be silent, then these ideas of Zhang Zhu will become worthless, which is in line with the sentence - the routine is too deep and unreliable, and the pretending to be forced will be ruined.
Pistons starters: Lynch Hunter, Alan Houston, Grant Hill, Otis Thorpe, Eric Lakener.
Lakers starters: Van Exel, Ceballos, Zhang, Bison, Campbell.
The Pistons' lineup is similar to that of the Lakers, both teams rely on the outside to win, and the inside is the weaker part of the team.
But the difference is that the Pistons' interior line is weaker, and although the Lakers' Bison and Campbell will be blown up against teams such as the Spurs and Rockets, both are qualified mid-table team starters, which is why the Lakers can rank third in the West.
In fact, this Lakers team does not have much weakness, but Lakers fans and the media have always had too high requirements for their team, basically either a top team or a failure, they are not willing to play the role of accompanying the prince to study, they must at least be the prince.
"The winner will stand, and the loser will fall!"
Zhang Qi formed a circle with his teammates before the game, and once he encountered a game that was only allowed to be won and not lost, he would use words to motivate his teammates and let them show their best to help the team win.
At the same time, this is also a reminder to them that this game is very important, and no one TM should paddle me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you when I go back!
Zhang Qi has a lot of shortcomings, and he doesn't even like basketball as much as many people think, but his desire to win is higher than many people who love basketball more, because he craves to win, and he hates the feeling of being beaten!
Campbell helped the Lakers win the ball, Zhang Mao didn't ask Van Exel for the ball, he wanted to see how the madman was doing?
Whenever Zhang Qi has an infinite desire to win, he will pay more attention to the state of his teammates, and his ball possession rate will decrease, because he wants to win first, and then personal data.
Van Exel's first attack and team-mates used a pick-and-roll to get inside, attracting the bag and quickly passing the ball to Zhang Mao, who was ambushed in the bottom corner of the weak side.
Zhang Zhu hesitated after receiving the ball, he did not have a shooting blind spot in the position of 90% of the game, but only the two bottom corner three-pointers rarely practiced, because he rarely moved in this position.
Hill hurried back, his defense was mediocre, nowhere near as good as he showed on the offensive end.
But holding the ball on the baseline, if you don't shoot immediately, you will become very passive, Zhang Qi can only dribble to the outside first, and then immediately enter the back state, but except for the direction of the baseline, it is blocked by Hill.
"It's so naïve, do you think the bottom line is safe?"
Zhang Yu found that Hill let go of the baseline defense, and secretly said in his heart, "Academics are dead brains", and immediately turned around and forcibly killed the bottom line, but Zhang Zhu, who was almost forced out of bounds after only one step, chose to aim at the basket behind the rebound, and threw the ball from behind the rebound in a desperate manner.
Fans in front of the TV could see more clearly that Zhang was almost at a negative angle when he shot the basketball, which was a low-post drift back shot at a negative angle.
"Haha, our Mr. Villain might be going to show us how he drifts back behind a negative angle behind a rebound and throws the ball ......"
Before the last word "fly" was spoken, the on-site commentator saw the basketball "swish", which fell into the basket crisply and neatly, and it was hollow into the net!
The Pistons fans were laughing uncontrollably, but the laughter was cut off in an instant after the basketball entered the net, and the entire arena became silent at this moment, and the "Palace of Auburn Hills" fell into an awkward silence.
After Zhang Yu scored the goal, he landed in a posture of 13, and then ran back with a shake of his head, and his two hands also made a "blow pistol" movement slowly, not to mention the degree of hatred.
