But now as the game progresses, everyone is familiar with this Chinese characteristic, and everyone can see his mediocre qualifications. This Chinese is only suitable as a role player, and he simply cannot carry the banner of a shooting guard. Mr. Bryant, all I can say is that you've lost your eyes! ”

Zhang Zifeng's poor performance during this period made various media comment.

"Parallel Goods Show! —The New York Times:

"Zhang Zifeng performed very well in the first half, but that was just the opponent's strangeness to him. But when the opponent became familiar with his technical characteristics, his crazy performance was interrupted! Ultimately, it turns out that he was destined to be just a role player, and the 76ers will ultimately regret that they wasted a valuable high pick and only drafted a second-round pick. ”

USA Today published "Zhang Zifeng Meets the Rookie Wall!" "Supporting Zhang Zifeng: "Zhang Zifeng did not perform well in the near end, scoring less than 20 points in two consecutive games, and averaged 6 turnovers per game, and yesterday's game against the Magic team created a career-high 9 turnovers. It is obvious that Zhang Zifeng hit the rookie wall that rookies can't avoid.

Zhang Zifeng has been unknown to the public since then?

I don't think so, rookie wall, that rookie hasn't come across. Jordan and Kobe Bryant have also encountered them, but have they been mediocre ever since?

No, they make themselves stronger through their own efforts. It also makes them different from then on.

Zhang Zifeng still wants to be like Kobe Bryant, he hasn't given up, he is still training hard, looking forward to changing himself and making himself better.

There is a saying in China that "God rewards diligence".

I believe that Zhang Zifeng will soon be able to break through the so-called rookie wall and move towards a real superstar. ”

……

Zhang Zifeng knew that he had performed badly during this time, and he also knew that the opponent had completely figured out his offensive routine.

They will always force themselves to attack on the baseline, losing the familiar offensive rhythm, and Zhang Zifeng's shooting rate has also dropped sharply, only 33.9.

Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to make adjustments, otherwise he really thought about what those newspapers and magazines that belittled him, and he might fall and become a role player.

This is not what Zhang Zifeng wants.

In order to change this situation, Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to become better and have more weapons.

Make it impossible for the opponent to restrain himself at all.

Zhang Zifeng continued to devote himself to hard training, developing new and stable scoring methods.
