Chapter 36: Blown Away
"It's not that Marbury isn't strong, but what were the stats at Marbury's peak? With 20 points and 8 assists, the team's best result was only in the first round of the playoffs, and Marbury's teammate was Garnett......
So it seems that the Suns management at the time thought that Kidd was also at the level of Marbury? Or a player who doesn't play as well as Marbury? ”
"I'm afraid no one would have thought that Kidd would come to the Nets, to a Nets team that has just been signed for the second year, and take such a team to another level, and this is the place to play your talent?"
"But what's so magical about this place that you can change the world for Kidd? Turning the Nets from the very edge of the league to the stinger they are now? ”
"How can a guard who isn't a great shooter become a superstar with assists and athleticism?"
"If Kidd is just a good passer and values his passing in defense, why bother with his offense?"
"Your teammates on the Nets are not as good as the Suns of that era, but why is Kidd's stats declining compared to that time, but you can lead the team to the top three in the East?"
Gong Feng has too many questions in his heart to ask, there are too many things he can't figure out, in the past game with the Nets, Gong Feng did not face Kidd so directly, let alone as a core, Gong Feng was just an assistant next to Jordan at the time, just such an identity.
averaged about 12 assists per game, about 5 of which were obtained by Kwame, the two of them seemed to be natural partners, and the other 7 were also very concentrated, Hamilton and Jordan occupied about 5 times, Wang Zhizhi and Gerrard shared about 2 times, and the current bow peak is more enviable than Marbury's teammate Garnett.
After the second quarter of this game, Kidd did not give Gong Feng any time to think on the court, and in the following game, Gong Feng began to lose for the first time in history under Kidd's stormy attacks and passes.
Whether it is offensive or defensive, Gong Feng has performed very poorly, and it can even be said that it is a mess, and at the end of this game, Gong Feng's total number of mistakes reached a career-high of 13, and the score was not double-doubled.
Collins saw such a bow peak, although he felt a little unbearable, but he still did not replace the bow peak, as long as Kidd is still on the field, the bow peak must play, since he has been enlightened, he must bear the corresponding responsibility, since he has to face Kidd alone, he must bear everything that this idea brings.
At the end of the game, Kidd scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Nets to a perfect victory 94-87!
These things add up, in other words, that is, the bow peak of this game was completely blown up by Kidd!
……
For the first time, Gong Feng was under all the pressure from all sides...... The media reports after the game, the accusations from the fans, the questions from the boss, and the fact that Gong Feng had just gotten the contract of signing Adidas' sky-high one-year contract made the situation even worse after some well-intentioned people proposed the contract that Naike gave to Gong Feng.
All the 'negative news' of Gong Feng was lifted at this moment.
There is no time for Gong Feng to lick his wounds now, and it is impossible for Gong Feng to become the core of the Wizards team again in such a state.
In the team's second home game, the Nets defeated the Heat under the leadership of Jordan with 37 points, and the next day back-to-back, on the premise of another consecutive win over the Heat on the road, Gong Feng was still taken care of by the media.
In the final game against the Trail Blazers in February, Jordan was rested, and Gong Feng recorded a double-double of 15 points and 13 assists, and the three-game winning streak still did not give Gong Feng a break from the media, because this game looked like Hamilton stepped up because he scored 31 points.
In these three games, Gong Feng only averaged 7 points and 10 assists...... Gong Feng, who has strong rational ability, can still deliver the ball to the hands of players according to the current system of the Wizards, and Gong Feng's ability has not disappeared, but in the eyes of many people, some cheerful Gong Feng has become silent in the Wizards locker room for the first time.
Gong Feng's idea of scoring is not strong, although he can still shoot open three-pointers, but Gong Feng has never changed his style to aggressiveness as before, but has become a qualified main player......
At present, it seems that Gong Feng has really been rectified by this series of turmoil, without his own style and ...... Soul?
But is that really the case?
After the February game, the Wizards got a precious day off, and now all the Wizards players are a little tired.
The fact that he played the Bulls, who were at the bottom of the East, two days later, also gave Collins a reason to give his players a rest, especially the current Gong Feng, who felt that he should let the current Gong Feng take away from basketball for a day.
Since losing to Kidd that day, Bow Peak hasn't smiled in front of his teammates for a long time. Practicing late every day, even if Gong Feng's physical fitness is already among the top ranks in the NBA, he can't stand such intense training.
However, Collins didn't expect that the current Bow Peak was not the Bow Peak that had just entered the Wizards, and the Bow Peak at that time had the protection within the Wizards team, plus the fans in China did not know and were not familiar with it, and the Wizards team had a great god in charge...... But now Gongfeng is on the cusp of the storm, and there are too many media who want to interview Gongfeng at this time.
What's more, now Gong Feng has signed a blockbuster contract with Adidas, there are a lot of advertisements, and there are still a lot of entertainment that Gong Feng needs to be present!
Gong Feng, who still didn't get a break, received a text message when Drake sent him back to the apartment, a text message that Gong Feng expected and felt a little strange, and the content of this text message made Gong Feng feel a little inexplicable.
"Are you free tonight?" From Kelly, who surprised Gong Feng at the time, that is, the senior sister that Gong Feng met after entering Duke.
Gong Feng, who didn't know what he was thinking at this time, replied directly: "For senior sister, of course, she is free at any time!" ”
"Your mouth has sweetened a lot! Hee-hee, let's do it, I'll give you an address, there's a party, you can come and have a meal together! ”
"I'll be there soon!" The smile on the corner of Gong Feng's mouth was now even more evil.
Kelly's address to Gong Feng is a family gathering of colleagues, as a person who works in the media, of course, he also has his own circle, and now Kelly, who is young, powerful and hot, is also a relatively open one in her circle.
Gong Feng is now the new darling of the media, even if there are a lot of negative reports about this darling, but this also indirectly proves that Gong Feng is a very rare public figure, and there are many sports reporters on the scene.
At the moment when they saw Gong Feng really come, the audience let out an exclamation, and they all teased Kelly in surprise, as a reporter, Kelly cannot be an introverted person, of course, she introduced Gong Feng very generously.
Gong Feng didn't show the slightest arrogance, but he had some natural confrontation with the journalist industry. But fortunately, many people in the United States are the kind of people who have private time after work and work during working hours, and Kelly defined this kind of gathering as private at the beginning.
Gong Feng has been a scholar for six years, not only an athlete, but also has contact with real-time news, politics, and economics, and the degree Gong Feng got is biased towards statistics, which is later the direction of big data.
In such a scene, there is no stage fright at all in talking with various reporters, and you can even tell some jokes to make everyone laugh.
Journalists in Washington are not inferior to New York, but they have their own specialties and exchanges, and as the capital, they are of course better at politics. Gong Feng has some good performances on such occasions, and it may not necessarily be helpful in the future, which is also an important reason why Kelly thinks that she can invite Gong Feng.
Journalists are the object of offend to many public figures in the United States.
Of course, even Kelly couldn't have imagined that a millionaire who had just become more than 10 million would really come to this kind of occasion without asking anything, and such a performance couldn't help but make people want to think in a certain direction!
