On Nov. 26, the 76ers lost 105-89 to the Bulls.

Nov. 28, against the Cavaliers. At the last moment, Rondo ignored Zhang Zifeng's request from the outside, and he broke through to the inside and passed the ball to Embiid.

As a result, Embiid missed the last shot, and the 76ers lost to the Cavaliers 108-110.

With two consecutive defeats and a bad atmosphere in the team, Zhang Zifeng knew he had to do something.

Zhang Zifeng is a little envious of a team like the Spurs.

For so many years, the team has remained stable and has not had so many problems.

The Admiral smoothly handed over the core to Duncan.

Duncan smoothly handed over the core of the team to Parker.

Parker then smoothly handed over the core of the team to Kawai. Leonard.

It would be nice if the 76ers could be as stable as the Spurs, and how good it would be if the team had a coach with skills and prestige like Popovich!

But although I envy the Spurs a little, the 76ers are my team now, and I can't run away from difficulties.

I'm the boss of the 76ers, and I'm thinking about what to do with the team's woes.

Zhang Zifeng quietly thought about the solution.

The most critical problem now is that my performance is not good enough during this time.

If you perform well enough, you will be recognized by the players, no one will dare to fight with you, and the fans will continue to support you.

Some time ago, I didn't perform well, mainly because of the puncture of my fingers, which affected the feel.

Now that the fingers are almost good, as long as you strengthen the shooting training, you can get back the feeling.

Then I need to get the support of the team and the coach, as long as they are on my side, I can completely suppress the other players as captain.

Embiid's guy doesn't care, but Rondo is a nuisance.

Looks like I need to talk to him.

After clarifying his thoughts, Zhang Zifeng stayed in the arena to practice shooting training after the team's routine training.

Starting from the free throw line to five points outside the three-point line, Zhang Zifeng shot 200 in each place.

Touch! Touch! Swish......

As the number of shots increased, Zhang Zifeng felt that the old feeling was back.

With the last shot hit, Zhang Zifeng smiled.

After training, Zhang Zifeng changed into clean clothes and knocked on the coach's office.

Hear a knock on the door, Brett. Brown looked up and saw that Zhang Zifeng was, and said, "Hey, Jack." The training is done, how can you be interested in coming to me. Have a seat! ”

Zhang Zifeng pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "Mr. Brett, I'm talking to you about the tactics of the next game. My finger injury is completely healed and I feel like I can be more involved in the next fight! ”

Brett. Brown heard, "Of course, we 76ers have always been around you!" ”

But Brett. Brown reacted quickly and said, "Jack, I see what you mean. You are the heart of the team, the cornerstone of the team. The team and I must have your back! Don't worry, I'll make it clear to the other players! ”

"That's good, then I'll go out first!"

"Jack, come on for the next game, I'm sure you'll be the best one again!"

"Of course, I'll always be the best!"

After communicating with the head coach, it is now only Rondo that kid left.

The guy whose EQ has never been online.

Zhang Zifeng called Rondo and asked him to meet him at the bar that the team frequented most.

At the bar, Zhang Zifeng shouted to the bartender, "Two martini!" ”

The bartender quickly handed over two cups of Martini, and Zhang Zifeng took a sip and said, "Rajan, you are a member of the champion, you should know what kind of team can win the championship!" ”

Rondo said proudly, "Of course! ”

Zhang Zifeng put down his glass and said, "At the beginning of the team's recruitment, in addition to your strength, it also valued your experience of winning the championship, hoping to help us and help the team in the playoffs." But your actions now are not only not helping the team, but causing problems for the team. Do you understand? “

Unconvinced, Rondo shouted loudly, "Everything I do on the pitch is for the team." I passed the ball to Embiid last time because he was in a better position! ”

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "I understand, I understand." You pass the ball because he's in a better position. But he can't put the ball in the basket, so what's the point of your passing. Give me the ball and I can score. Give them and it won't necessarily go in. ”

Rondo was stunned by Zhang Zifeng's words.

Because what Zhang Zifeng said is very reasonable, even if they pass the ball to them, what is the use of what they can't score.

Although Zhang Zifeng's position may not be the best, he can score the ball, and that's enough!

What tactics and what kind of coordination in the game, isn't the final role to send the ball to the basket!

But if you can't score, no matter how good the coordination is, no matter how good the tactics are, what is the use.

Otherwise, why would there be players, superstars, and superstars.

Otherwise, why would everyone's annual salary be different?

Zhang Zifeng stared at Rondo, "A player who doesn't want to win the championship is not a good player, but if you want to win the championship, we all need to make changes, don't we?" Rajan, I know you have the ball in your hand to be better. But you see, I'm the one who can put the ball in the basket and I'm the one who can help the team win! ”

Rondo was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, I see! ”

"Okay, cheers!"

got Rondo, as for Embiid, Zhang Zifeng didn't care at all.

Without a defender feeding the center with shells, how much of a role a center can play in an attack.

Attacking with the ball yourself?

Don't laugh, just the height of the center's dribble, give people the ball every minute.

On November 30, the 76ers hosted the Raptors.

Although the 76ers suffered two consecutive losses before, the 76ers still have a very good record this season, with the same 11-3 as the Cavaliers. However, the 76ers relied on their mutual records to beat the Cavaliers to rank first in the East.

In this game, many fans are watching whether the team can stop the losing streak, defeat the opponent, and continue to sit firmly in the first place in the East.

The majority of Chinese fans also stayed in front of the TV early to watch the live broadcast.

Entering the post-Iverson era, the 76ers led by Zhang Zifeng are now through the darkness and are attacking for the championship.

The fans don't want the team to go back to the days when there was no hope.

When he stepped out of the players' tunnel, Zhang Zifeng was greeted with a huge cheer from the 76ers fans.

The fans waved support signs at Zhang Zifeng and shouted loudly. "Zhang, come on. You are the best! ”

"We believe in you, you are the best, you are the hope of the team!"

"Kaede, use your strength to slap those who slander you in the face and tell them that you are the best one!"

……

The fans cheered Zhang Zifeng one by one with the roar of their maximum lungs, letting Zhang Zifeng know that they were on his side.

Listening to the roar of those fans, Zhang Zifeng was very moved, this is the home stadium!

The people in the whole stadium are shouting your name and cheering for you, how can you not be moved and not let people desperately win the game!

In the first few games, because of his finger injury, the shooting percentage was not good.

Today, Zhang Zifeng has a lot of energy to perform well and let those who look down on him take a look.

After the warm-up, Brett. Brown clapped his hands and called the players over. When he announced his starting lineup, he shouted: "This Embiid is rested, and Noll starts." ”

Embiid was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he was in good shape during this time, and he was still thinking about playing more time and more opportunities to perform, so as to get a big contract for the next contract.

Embiid hurriedly shouted to the coach, "Coach, I feel like I'm fully recovered." I can play. ”

Brett. Brown smiled and said to Embiid, "Joel, I'm here for your good." You've just recovered for a short time, don't be so tired, this one you sit on the sidelines and rest! ”

Embiid shouted, "Coach, you have to trust me. I really can! ”

Brett. Brown exclaimed, "You're the coach, or I'm the coach." The game is almost underway, sit back and watch the game and don't get in the way of my work! ”

See Brett. Brown was furious, and Embiid sat on the bench depressed.

After Embiid sat on the bench, Brett. Brown exclaimed, "We've lost two in a row and we can't go on like this." We're going to get back to the rhythm we're familiar with. We have to play resolutely around Jack's tactics. Whoever dares not to follow the instructions and only think about himself, I will let him be the bench, be the bench for the season. Did you hear that? ”

"Yes, Coach!"

"OK, let's play!"

Raptors starting lineup: Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Syakam, Valance Younas.

76ers starting lineup: Rondo, Zhang Zifeng, Grant, Ibaka, Knol.

Knoll jumped the ball to win against Valance Younas.

Rondo grabbed the ball and dribbled steadily through the half.

In the frontcourt, under the interference of Lori, Rondo did not panic at all and organized the team's attack.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng ran to the frontcourt, he faced DeRozan.

DeRozan is an athletic scorer with incredible bounces and explosiveness.

In the ESPN Eastern Conference Shooting Guard Rankings at the beginning of the season, DeRozan was third, behind Zhang Zifeng and Beal.

DeRozan's offense is unquestionable, but the difference between his ranking and his inferior Zhang Zifeng and Beal lies in his defense.

DeRozan's pace on the defensive end is okay, but he is handicap and prone to out-of-position.

Defense is a big obstacle to DeMar DeRozan's rise to superstardom.

Zhang Zifeng quickly ran the position, and Ibaka made a horizontal move to make a cover for Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng's elegant running position coupled with the team's cover, DeRozan suddenly couldn't keep up.

Zhang Zifeng shook off DeRozan, and Rondo passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng who ran out of the empty space for the first time.

Zhang Zifeng catches the ball, jumps, and shoots.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, the ball spun and plunged into the basket.

The audience erupted in an explosive cheer, and it was such a three-point shot that opened the game, which made the 76ers players and the audience very happy.

Zhang Zifeng looks good today.

On days when Zhang Zifeng felt good, the 76ers' winning rate was very high.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng score in front of him, DeRozan was a little unhappy.

But he has played four or five times in two seasons, and he is familiar with Zhang Zifeng, and DeRozan also knows that Zhang Zifeng's strength is very strong.

If you want to prevent Zhang Zifeng, it is not something he can easily restrict, it seems that if you want to get back on the field, you can only attack.

Next a ball, DeRozan dribbles under his crotch.

Zhang Zifeng used solid steps.

DeRozan made a few feints, and one accelerated and rushed in.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly stepped sideways and blocked this guy.

tentatively bumped into Zhang Zifeng, but DeRozan found that he couldn't hit it at all, and this guy was stronger than last season.

Unable to tear apart the opponent's defense, DeRozan felt very depressed, so he could only call Syakam to help, and with the help of cover, he scored a toss on the inside.

Seeing that the opponent had scored, Zhang Zifeng quickly ran to the front.

In this game, DeRozan tried his best to defend Zhang Zifeng, but in front of Zhang Zifeng, his efforts were not rewarded.

Rondo made a few feints to shake off Lori and enter the inside line, and at this time Zhang Zifeng also began to run.

As soon as he received the ball from Rondo, his butt hit DeRozan behind him, directly knocking away a little bit of his body, and Zhang Zifeng strengthened DeRozan under the cheers of the audience.

After hitting it twice, Zhang Zifeng advanced to the inside line, and after a false shake, he forcibly leaned on DeRozan and took a step, jumped with both legs, and shot.

DeRozan could only watch as the ball flew over his head.

The ball is scored, the score is scored.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV saw Zhang Zifeng score again and again, and they were happy and relieved.

Affected by those media reports in the previous paragraph, many Chinese fans were really worried that Zhang Zifeng's performance was just a flash in the pan.

The 76ers will abandon Zhang Zifeng and rebuild around Embiid.

But now seeing that the 76ers are still centering on Zhang Zifeng as the tactical core, they immediately settled down, the 76ers still attach importance to Zhang Zifeng, and Zhang Zifeng is still the MVP-level star.

The game continued, and the 76ers, playing at home, quickly led 11-6.

Lowry then returned two three-pointers to make it 11-12.

After that, the 76ers strengthened their defense, and Zhang Zifeng jumped out like a cheetah and cut off Lowry's pass.

In an instant, the 76ers completed the offensive and defensive transition, and the Raptors quickly retreated to the backcourt.

Zhang Zifeng rushed to the front court and faced DeRozan, and when he just wanted to play hard, Carroll rushed over to cover the defense.

Zhang Zifeng pretended to break through inward, but it was a pass.

The ball passed under Carroll's crotch and bounced straight into Grant's hand.

Grant hit an easy three-point shot from the open spot.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng's touch recovered, the 76ers' offense returned to normal.

22-33, under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers took an 11-point lead in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Zifeng sat on the sidelines to rest. The Raptors, led by Lowry, took the opportunity to launch a 9-3 counterattack wave, and the Raptors only trailed by five points.

Brett. Brown hurriedly sent Zhang Zifeng back on the field.

Zhang Zifeng hit a three-pointer, Grant scored another three-pointer in the bottom corner, and the 76ers opened the score again.

Lowry hit a three-pointer to lead the team to the score.

The two sides scored a few points each, and then Zhang Zifeng successfully singled DeRozan twice to help the 76ers lead by 15 points at 49-66 at halftime.

Lowry of the Raptors scored 16 points in the first half; For the 76ers, Zhang Zifeng had 15 points and four rebounds, and Rondo had nine points and five assists.
