On January 5, 2016, the 76ers hosted the Timberwolves.

After thirteen consecutive away games, he finally returned to his home stadium.

The home stadium is Zhang Zifeng's favorite game.

Because it's familiar, it's very familiar. The height of the rebound, the tightness of the basket, are all well known.

In the game with the Timberwolves, although Wiggins, who has always been inattentive in defense, faced Zhang Zifeng, an old opponent, changed his previous problems and became engrossed.

Although Wiggins has done his best, he still can't stand Zhang Zifeng breaking out on his home court, shooting 11 three-pointers and scoring 51 points and 3 assists.

Led the 76ers to a 91-88 victory over the Timberwolves to win five in a row.

The Timberwolves coach said with a wry smile in an interview with reporters after the game, "Before the game, I knew that Zhang Zifeng was one of the best shooting guards, and in order to win, we set up tactics against him before the game, but you can also see that in front of his hot hand, it was all in vain!" ”

Brett. Brown also commented, "Zhang Zifeng has always been the most important one in our team, as long as he wants to score, he will definitely score." He led the team to victory with his offense, and this will continue to happen in the future! ”

"USA Today" played against the Timberwolves today, Zhang Zifeng scored 51 points, two consecutive 50+ games, proving that Zhang Zifeng's super scoring ability is not a flash in the pan.

During the time of Zhang Zifeng's injury, the 76ers ushered in a 13-game losing streak, and at that time, 76ers fans who were only afraid of optimism were desperate for the team's prospects. But in such a desperate situation, Zhang Zifeng's comeback gave the 76ers a shot in the arm. The 76ers team is back in spirit, and 76ers fans are starting to be hopeful again. Zhang Zifeng used his leadership style and super scoring ability to lead the 76ers to defeat strong teams one after another and win 6 consecutive victories. Now the 76ers have overwhelmed the Knicks, moving from 15th in the East to 13th. Now that the league is only a third of the way through, the 76ers still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs.

Zhang Zifeng, one of the strongest scoring guards in the league, is the confidence that the 76ers rely on the most.

On January 8, the 76ers continued to host the Hawks.

With Zhang Zifeng scoring 62 points, although he won respect, he also attracted the attention of the whole league.

Zhang Zifeng is now being treated more and more defensively.

At 126-98, the 76ers lost, ending their winning streak. Zhang Zifeng alone accounted for about half of the team's shooting, but the shooting rate was not high, with Tim Hardaway and Saab Seflosha taking turns to serve, Zhang Zifeng only made 16 of 39 shots and scored 39 points.

On January 10, the 76ers faced the Raptors.

The 76ers got off to a good start at home, with Zhang Zifeng scoring eight points alone to lead the team to a 12-0 lead.

But then the situation of the 76ers took a sharp turn for the worse, and Zhang Zifeng felt without any warning, and suddenly became cold.

There was a bang, and the basket was about to be smashed into a discus, but it was 9 shots and 0 hits.

On the other hand, the Raptors did gradually get into the groove, with Lowry scoring four points on consecutive free throws and DeRozan hitting three points in succession.

Taking advantage of Zhang Zifeng's poor shooting rate, the Raptors took the opportunity to overtake the score.

In the last three seconds of the first quarter, Zhang Zifeng had already gotten rid of DeMar DeRozan and entered the restricted area for a layup, and the ball rolled in the basket twice, and finally slid out.

Barkley saw it and quipped, "Hahaha, Zhang Zifeng should be at home today to stop the losing streak." But it's a pity that God is not on his side today, and he feels very bad. Even a basket will slide out! ”

Reggie Miller also said, "For a shooter, a bad hand is the most painful thing. However, every player has encountered a situation like today, and it feels inexplicably cold to the touch. What Zhang Zifeng needs is to adjust as soon as possible, otherwise continuing to shoot like this and trying to get back his feel will only drag down the team. ”

Yes, just like Barkley said, Zhang Zifeng desperately wanted to play well in front of the home fans today, but unfortunately the sky was not beautiful.

I couldn't hit it.

Because Zhang Zifeng wasted too many opportunities, so far, the 76ers were beaten by the Timberwolves 12:26 in the first quarter at home, trailing by 14 points.

Nima's, today Zhang Zifeng finally knows that Europe and the United States are not under the control of the Jade Emperor, and God is obviously not kind to Lao Tzu, a yellow person!

It's just evil, except for scoring 8 points in the first few minutes, and then for seven or eight minutes in a row, Lao Tzu didn't even hit a single ball.

At the end of the first quarter, Brett. Brown nodded slightly at Zhang Zifeng. "Jack, you didn't feel good today, you should change your play. Pass the ball out and let the team's attack flow smoothly. I know you can do it, don't you? ”

Zhang Zifeng heard the nod in agreement, but after the start of the second quarter, it was clear that Zhang Zifeng did not listen to Coach Brown at all.

Zhang Zifeng will still be obsessed with singles.

The Raptors' DeRozan grabbed the rebound after Zhang Zifeng's iron, played a quick counterattack again, and made a layup.

At 14:34, the margin was widened to 20 points.

Brett. Brown is particularly dissatisfied, even though he is also a rookie coach and has no prestige.

Although he knows that Zhang Zifeng is now the heart of the 76ers.

In case it really angers Zhang Zifeng, the handsome will be discordant.

Brett. Brown knows that the boss and the general manager will never be on his side, and he must be himself when the time comes.

However, the clay figurines also have three points of fire.

Again and again, he did not obey the command and did it himself.

If it goes on like this, how the fuck will Lao Tzu teach the 76ers, who will obey him in the future, he will obey Zhang Zifeng's orders, and what do you want Lao Tzu to do.

If this continues, Lao Tzu's reputation will be completely ruined. A coach who can't even command the players, you still expect him to lead the team to victory!

For the sake of his coaching reputation, for the sake of the team, Brett. Brown called a timeout.

Brett. Brown held back his anger and shouted to Zhang Zifeng, "Jack, you rest first and let Stauskas play." ”

Zhang Zifeng heard that the coach actually let him sit on the sidelines to rest when the team was behind.

Zhang Zifeng suddenly felt unhappy and said, "Coach, I can't rest, now the team is behind, just when I am needed!" ”

Brett. Brown couldn't help but drink, "It's because the team is behind that you are rested." You give me reflection off the field! ”

What the? The team is behind, so I need to rest!

What do you mean, do you mean that I left the team behind?

I'm the poison of the team!

Introspection what? Lao Tzu has something to reflect on.

I'm playing the court, but you just have to stay on the sidelines.

Why do you tell Lao Tzu to reflect.

Lao Tzu just feels a little worse today.

As long as you find the feel for Lao Tzu, this difference is not easy to smooth.

When Zhang Zifeng just wanted to refute, Grant saw that the situation was not good, and took the first step to pull Zhang Zifeng aside.

When Zhang Zifeng just wanted to get rid of Grant, Grant shouted in a low voice, "Jack, there are many reporters on the sidelines, don't make a big deal out of it!" ”

I saw the group of reporters sitting under the basket rack, all holding their cameras and watching this side with fierce eyes. Zhang Zifeng forcibly walked to the chair on the bench and took the towel.

On the court, the situation in which the 76ers were pressed by the opponent has changed since Zhang Zifeng left the court.

After Zhang Zifeng went off the court in the second quarter, the two teams launched an attack, Kenan hit two three-pointers in a row, and then McConnell and Covington each hit three-pointers, and the 76ers chased back the difference by one point.

At halftime, the 76ers were 47-56 and trailed by just nine points.

Sitting on the sidelines, Zhang Zifeng looked very, very uncomfortable.

Lao Tzu is not here, how can the team catch up.

How is this possible?

I'm the hope of the 76ers! It's the backbone of the 76ers!

How could Lao Tzu be a poison sac, something must have happened wrong.

It must have been caused by a bad hand, as long as Lao Tzu threw those balls in, nothing like this would have happened.

Yes, it has to be that there are no goals to cause this. As long as Lao Tzu scores the ball, there will be no such thing.

Since Zhang Zifeng joined the NBA, except for that accidental ankle injury, everything has gone too smoothly.

Embiid was reimbursed for the season, and Zhang Zifeng was cultivated as the core of the team from the beginning.

In a group of youth troops, there are no old ruffians pressing on it, and Zhang Zifeng has been the boss of the team from the beginning. Didn't receive any repression, or was given instructions to run errands.

became the leader of the team, Zhang Zifeng quickly won the recognition of the team and the love of the fans with his fans.

Coupled with Zhang Zifeng's comeback, he led the struggling 76ers to regain hope, which pushed Zhang Zifeng's popularity and prestige to a new climax.

The fans, the media, and more importantly...... The rapid explosion of money.

Zhang signed a four-year contract worth $20.7 million with the 76ers. This contract does not give 5 million every year, but increases by 10% every year during the contract life.

In the first year, Zhang Zifeng only had an annual salary of about three million.

And these annual salaries are not paid in a lump sum, but once every half a month.

In addition, he has to pay more than 45% of the tax (the way of calculating taxes in various states in the United States is different), although the contract is seen a lot, Zhang Zifeng takes more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan every month.

Except for housing loans and car loans, Zhang Zifeng is not very rich.

It wasn't until several endorsement fees went through a series of processes such as declaring and paying taxes that they were successively transferred to Zhang Zifeng's account last month.

Zhang Zifeng's wealth suddenly skyrocketed and he became a multimillionaire.

Whether a man has money or not, it is completely two thoughts and lives.

When a person becomes very rich, he will buy things that he did not dare to buy before, he will enjoy things that he did not dare to enjoy before, he will live a completely different life than before, and even the whole person will become very confident.

Just like I couldn't think of it before, now I don't frown, and I am so proud that I want to buy enough bags from all luxury brands and give them to Chen Wei for her birthday.

This sudden increase in wealth made Zhang Zifeng's whole person a little inflated and a little fluttery.

Now Zhang Zifeng feels that he is very powerful, very awesome, and he can't listen to other people's opinions.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Zifeng still did not play.

The 76ers and Raptors went back and forth after the start of the third quarter, alternating the score on the court, with Lowry hitting a jumper to give the Raptors a 73-58 lead with 5:35 left in the third quarter. The 76ers then launched a comeback, with Smith scoring six points alone, and he led an 11-2 comeback to end the third quarter, and the 76ers chased 69-75.

Brett. Brown didn't want to completely brainstorm Zhang Zifeng, he thought that Zhang Zifeng would come to his senses after the third quarter. So the fourth quarter began, and Brett . Brown called Zhang Zifeng over and said, "Jack, you are the captain of the team, you need to make a captain's table to lead the team, ok?" ”

Zhang Zifeng nodded expressionlessly, but he thought in his heart, Lao Tzu must let this guy see that Lao Tzu can help the team win.

Zhang Zifeng scored four straight points at the start of the fourth quarter, but soon Lori answered with six points and Patterson hit three points.

Zhang Zifeng's solo action brought the 76ers' offense to a halt again, and the Raptors pulled the advantage back to double digits.

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng had no intention of repenting at all, Brett. Brown is completely dead to Zhang Zifeng. In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Zhang Zifeng was replaced, and he never played again.

Stauskas hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and the 76ers went on an 8-0 spurt.

But Zhang Zifeng dug too big a hole, and the 15-point gap made the 76ers struggle to fight back at the last moment and were unable to turn the tables at all, and they finally lost 95-104.

The 76ers lost, but the biggest news is that Zhang Zifeng, the number one star of the 76ers, only played 16 minutes in this game, and did not play a minute in the entire third quarter. And in the game, it is obvious that Zhang Zifeng and coach Brett. Brown had a conflict.

After the game, many reporters blocked Brett. Brown asked, "Mr. Brett, did you have a heated conflict with Zhang Zifeng?" “

Brett. Brown immediately denied it, "No, I've always had a close relationship with Jack. It's nonsense to say that I have a conflict with him! ”

"Then why did Zhang Zifeng only get 16 minutes of playing time in this game, and you pressed him to the bench for the entire third quarter?"

"This, Jack is a little unwell today. The so-called contradiction you see is that Jack sees the team falling behind and strongly wants to play. But for the sake of his career, I reduced his playing time! ”

……

Although Brett. Brown vigorously denied the contradiction with Zhang Zifeng, but there were many players and staff members present. Their mouths are not so tight, especially some players who lost their positions because of Zhang Zifeng, and even broke the news.

On the same day, the "Washington News" published: According to the 76ers insiders, Zhang Zifeng and Brett. Coach Brown clashed during the game, with Brett. Boss Brown has entered the countdown. There are rumours that the team's general manager is interested in bringing assistant coach D'Antoni to take over as Zero Hour manager.

"New York Daily News" also reported that since Zhang Zifeng received a high endorsement fee, he began to degenerate, was busy shooting advertisements, and often missed the team's daily training for no reason. Zhang Zifeng's recent state is also officially caused by frequent nightclubs. This is also Zhang Zifeng and Brett. The root cause of the conflict in Brown.

"Los Angeles Times": According to the relevant personnel of the 76ers, because they are dissatisfied with Zhang Zifeng's style, the 76ers are peddling Zhang Zifeng, the core of the team.

……

For a while, Zhang Zifeng was portrayed as a player who began to enjoy life and nightclubs after taking a high contract, and was unwilling to make progress and was willing to degenerate.

January 12, Chen Wei's birthday.

Although he had an unpleasant quarrel with head coach Brown in the past few days, Zhang Zifeng still wanted to make Chen Wei happy.

Night fell, today Zhang Zifeng finished training early and went home to arrange.

The villa is still being searched, still in the original house.

The bathtub is filled with hot water and sprinkled with a lot of flower petals.

In the hall, more than a dozen candles are lit, which can not only let people see the room clearly, but also add a bit of quiet atmosphere.

999 red roses were tied into a heartfelt wreath on the aisle facing the hall, so that Chen Wei could see it as soon as she entered the door.

On the sofa is a ranked brand bag,

Listening to the sound of the car outside the courtyard, Zhang Zifeng hurriedly put the lid of the box on the inner pocket of his suit.

Run to the cloakroom, spray some perfume in the air, and bathe yourself in it.

A few seconds later, Zhang Zifeng held a rose in his mouth and opened the door with a little step.

With his head down, Zhang Zifeng leaned against the door. Then he smiled and shook his head. "This lady, have you been ...... by me?"

Dead fatty! Zheng Xinguo!

Zhang Zifeng raised his head and saw that it was Zheng Xinguo standing at the door.

In the dog days, the chic and charming appearance that Lao Tzu had just practiced hard was wasted.

Zhang Zifeng immediately shouted at Zheng Xinguo with anger on his face, "Dead fatty, what are you doing here today?" ”

Zheng Xinguo said with an embarrassed face, "It's not that I want to come!" ”

As he finished, a voice rang out. "I called him, can't I?"

At this time, Chen Wei had just taken care of the car door, took out a piece of cake from the car and walked to the door.

Seeing Chen Wei, Zhang Zifeng immediately changed his face, "How come, today is your birthday, of course Weiwei will let whoever she wants!" ”

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly stepped forward to take the cake in Chen Wei's hand and bowed down to make an invitation.

After Chen Wei handed the cake to Zhang Zifeng, she walked into the house.

Seeing Chen Wei walk into the house, Zhang Zifeng got up and looked at Zheng Xinguo fiercely and whispered, "Your sister, are you here to make trouble tonight?" ”

How could Zheng Xinguo not know that Zhang Zifeng wanted to have a warm and romantic night with Chen Wei tonight, and many of the things in this house were bought and ordered by him.

Zheng Xinguo, he's not crazy or stupid, if he can. Kill him, he won't come to disturb Zhang Zifeng and them tonight.

But he was forcibly invited by Chen Wei.

Zheng Xinguo doesn't want to offend Zhang Zifeng, but he can't afford to mess with Chen Wei!

Chen Wei sent a message that she must come over, what can she do, what can she do!

Zheng Xinguo hurriedly explained, "It's not that I want to come, it's Chen Wei who blocked me in the company and forced me to come." It seems that I have something to discuss with you. I'm being forced! ”

When Zhang Zifeng heard Zheng Xinguo's explanation, his face was slightly better and said, "You fat man won't be so stupid to dare to spoil my good deeds." But is there anything important Chen Wei must say tonight? ”

Zheng Xinguo shook his head and said, "I don't know, she didn't say it." She just insisted that I come, and I couldn't help it. Don't worry, as long as I have the opportunity, I will try to get out of here as soon as possible. It won't spoil you in a good thing! ”

Zhang Zifeng snorted and walked into the room with a smiling face.

Walking into the room and seeing the heart-shaped rose wreath and the candles in the room, Chen Wei's originally tense face relaxed, nodded and said, "Feng, these costs a lot!" ”

Zhang Zifeng shook his head when he heard it and said, "It doesn't cost much, the most important thing is that Weiwei is happy!" ”

Looking at the layout in the room, Zheng Xinguo was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do with the wine bottle he was holding in both hands.

Chen Wei came over to help him out, took the wine bottle and put it on the table, and just wanted to say to him: "Feel free to sit!" ”

Chen Wei saw all kinds of bags on the sofa! ”

Chen Wei asked Zhang Zifeng to accompany her to go shopping during this time, although she saw a lot of land, she basically didn't buy it.

Although I didn't buy it, I have a lot of knowledge. These bags are all brand-name, and many are even limited editions.

Zhang Zifeng said arrogantly, "Weiwei, do you like it!" If you like that, use that, now that your husband is rich, he can definitely support you!"

Chen Wei looked at those bags and raised her head to look at Zhang Zifeng, "I don't like it!" ”

Zhang Zifeng was stunned for a moment when he heard it, don't like it?

This is where all the luxury brand bags on the market are available. Chen Wei didn't even like it?

Zhang Zifeng reacted immediately and said, "It's okay if you don't like it, I'll accompany you tomorrow, you can buy whatever you like!" ”

Zheng Xinguo immediately said, "Don't wait for tomorrow." If you like anything, I'll help you buy it now! ”

Saying that, Zheng Xinguo wanted to slip away.

"No need, Brother Zheng. Anyway, I'm not interested in those luxuries or anything like that! ”

Chen Wei looked at Zhang Zifeng and said, "Feng, do you still remember your original dream, do you still remember our agreement?" ”
