In the second half, the main players of the Wizards, Beal and Wall, did not play.

The most important thing in the preseason is to let those rookies experience the NBA and gradually adapt to the NBA. At the same time, let those bench players, players on the fringes, show their quality and win a guaranteed contract.

For those players who have made a name for themselves, pre-season is a warm-up game.

Warm up the stars who have been on a long holiday and tell them.

Hey, the holiday season is over, it's time to start exercising or something, getting your body in the best shape for the long race.

In the second half, the Wizards went off the bench with an all-bench lineup, but even if it was an all-bench lineup, the strength of the Wizards should not be underestimated.

Center: ** Hilario, Power Forward: Drew Gooden, Small Forward: Garrett Temple, Shooting Guard: Gary Neal, Point Guard: Raymond Sessions.

All of them have been famous stars, won the best rookie or something, and served as the main players of other teams.

Compared with the 76ers, who are mainly rookie-based teams, the Wizards' roster is not bad in experience and strength.

As soon as the second half began, Hilario and Garrett Temple teamed up to score six points to open the third quarter, and the Wizards pulled away again.

Generally speaking, both the main team and the substitutes only play 20 minutes in the preseason.

But 76ers head coach Brown sent Zhang Zifeng on the court at this time.

Brown feels that what Zhang Zifeng needs now is to adapt to the NBA as soon as possible.

The NBA and NC+ are different, the NBA is a professional league, and fans spend money to enjoy the game and watch the victory. The manager is under pressure to perform, he wants to win, and it is impossible to give the players a chance again and again.

If the player can't take advantage of the opportunity himself, then I'm sorry, please choose another high.

Even if Zhang Zifeng has a vast Chinese market, if he can't adapt to the NBA, the team can't let him squander it again and again, after all, the American market is the foundation of the team.

And compared to NC+, the NBA is more confrontational, with longer three-point distance and shorter offensive time.

If you can't adapt to the NBA as soon as possible, once you don't play a performance that matches your value, the pressure will come like a tsunami.

Many players who have been prominent in NC+ have become obscure when they arrive in the NBA, because they have not been able to adapt to the NBA as quickly as possible.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng came on the court, he hit two three-pointers to stop the bleeding for the team, Christian Wood hit a hook shot, Jeremy Grant made a layup, and under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers played a 10-0 small "gaochao" to overtake the score in one fell swoop.

Since then, the 76ers have been in control of the game, and in the end, the 76ers won 107-99 against the Wizards.

The 76ers won against the Wizards, but not many people cared about the outcome of the game.

They are more concerned about Zhang Zifeng's performance.

played 33 minutes and scored 32 points, including 7 of 11 three-point shots, Zhang Zifeng's performance in this game was very eye-catching.

At the end of the game, the 76ers fans walked out of the arena one by one with happy smiles, and all kinds of praise for Zhang Zifeng sounded at the exit of the arena.

"Yes, Sam Kimchi made a right determination. I think that Chinese deserves to be chosen in the third order! ”

"Yes, look at his score, quietly his shooting posture, it's just beautiful, it's too standard!"

"While he won't necessarily be the core of the 76ers, I think the 76ers have found a dead gun Jeff Hornacek again!"

Everyone understands what the pre-season victory is, not many people care. Fan media are more focused on the performance of the players.

All eyes have been on Zhang Zifeng in the past two weeks, and he has averaged 21 points, 5.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in seven games, shooting 45.3% from the field.

Zhang Zifeng's outstanding performance won high praise from the media across the United States. "USA Today" commented: The controversial Chinese Zhang Zifeng led the team to 7 games and 4 wins with an outstanding performance, averaging 21 points and 5.8 assists per game. This superstar-level statistic undoubtedly proves that the 76ers made the right choice. On the contrary, in the draft, Zhang Zifeng was bombarded, and the Suns' Devin Booker performed very badly, averaging only 4.7 points per game, and did not score a point on 0-of-2 shooting in the second game. I didn't even get a chance to play in the third and fourth games. With such data, I have to say that Devin Booker is a joke.

At the draft meeting, he made a lot of nonsense, satirized Zhang Zifeng, boasted that his strength was underestimated, and as a result, he performed badly in the preseason.

put Devin Booker on the cusp, and beating the water dogs has always been a favorite of the media.

The Washington News also slammed:

Are the Suns already regretting it! They thought Devin Booker was a trustworthy pitcher, so they drafted the guy, but he proved to be good for nothing but complaining about getting media attention. I'm sure the Suns must have regretted their choice!

The USA Today and Washington News articles undoubtedly stirred up unease in the Suns.

Since Nash's departure, the Suns' performance has plummeted.

They desperately want someone to lead the Suns back on the rise.

But Devin Booker clearly let them down.

The fans protested to the Suns management, "We don't need a guy who only complains, we want a guy who can come on the court to help the team, trade that bastard out for a trustworthy guy!" ”

While fans were unhappy with Devin Booker, Suns general manager Ryan McDonagh had to reassure fans that they didn't have the right chips to trade.

'Devin is a fantastic guy, he just needs time to adapt and we have a lot of confidence in him and he's going to do a great job!'

The Suns' preseason head coach, Knight, also stepped up and said: "Devin is also doing a good job defensively. He had some good chances today but just didn't go in. Next time he can do it, he's going to be a really good player. ”

The preseason performance was not good, Devin Booker still confidently said in front of the media, "It's just a preseason, it doesn't prove anything!" I know what I'm capable of, I know I can do a little bit better, it's not my true level, and I'm going to tell you that the Suns definitely didn't make a mistake when they chose me. As for the Chinese, I'm sorry, if I had that much playing time for him, I could have scored that high. You say I'm bragging? In the regular season, I'll prove it to you. When you pour, you see how I beat that Chinese! ”

When the reporter excitedly told Zhang Zifeng what Devin Booker said, Zhang Zifeng just said lightly: "He is talking in a dream!" ”
