Half of Zhong Yu's own family - well, maybe not in this family.

Because this foreigner is just making up a Chinese name. But in any case, his interview with Zhong Yu was still relatively relaxed and pleasant.

But when it really came to a more critical time, the problem of disharmony still appeared.

"In the All-Star Game, you beat some of the other competitors and ended up with the MVP title...... Your current fame has reached an unprecedented peak......" Kate or Zhong Dajun asked, "In the middle of this All-Star Game, at that time, you felt that your goal was to be MVP...... Are you confident in yourself? ”

Zhong Yu smiled: "Confidence in yourself, I think this is what people should have." I'm an NBA player, and my performance on the court is often related to self-information. If I want to win, I have to believe in myself first. ”

"Believe in yourself This was originally an encouraging word, but I have to say that in recent years, the word has become more and more clichéd. Do you have any other secrets to success? ”

"Other secrets to success?" Zhong Yu shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of which, it's nothing more than those, work hard, struggle, and never give up." Seeing that this guy wanted to rebuke himself for being a cliché, he said, "But different people always have different understandings of these things." If you want to talk about feelings, I have walked step by step from the bench to today, and I feel the deepest. Faith is not a mantra, but an attitude towards life throughout life. ”

Zhong Yu's last sentence was a little hanging, and Zhong Dajun seemed to be in awe: "Ha, you look like a philosopher." ”

"You think too much......"

"So, in the last offense of the All-Star Game, the ball was given to Kobe, but he didn't shoot, but you grabbed the rebound yourself to complete the kill. As you can imagine, if you don't grab the rebound, the game will be ruined. It's a thrilling attack...... So, do you have other thoughts in your mind about the choice of the last vote because you don't give it to yourself? ”

"This ......" Zhong Yu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that even the reporter of Time Magazine would care about the grievances between himself and Kobe...... It seems that the alliance is now planning to stir up from this aspect!

"Bryant is a great player who has created a lot of things that are hard for players to beat. I respect him and I also praise him for what he has done on the pitch and I have no doubts about who the last ball will go to. As for the fact that he didn't hit the ball...... No one can guarantee that every ball will be hit, he has done his best, and besides, the final result is that we won, isn't it? ”

This passage seems to have washed away the rumors that he and Kobe Bryant are not on good terms, and Zhong Dajun can only suspend this topic.

"So, can you talk a little bit about your growth? It seems that no matter what magazine you are looking at now, you don't know enough about your family. They don't know what kind of family it is to raise such an excellent genius as you. ”

"Geniuses don't dare to be." Zhong Yu waved his hand: "If you want to talk about my growth, this is not much different from many other players. I was born in Shanghai, China, and I don't think everyone will be familiar with this name. After that, I became interested in basketball and received professional basketball training. Then I played in the Shanghai High School Youth Basketball League in high school, then entered our country's national youth team, then joined the national team, and played in college for two years......"

Zhong Yu said such a long list, which was completely official information, Zhong Dajun frowned and said, "You can talk about other ...... For example, your feelings and the like...... There are a lot of people who care about you. ”

Zhong Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I am a very innocent person, and I am still blank in terms of feelings so far, I just want to play well......"

After this sentence, Scarlett's crusade was ushered in, and Scarlett felt that Zhong Yu didn't care about her when he said this.

But Zhong Yu was also at a loss...... Originally, it was said that it was a matter of discussion between the two of them not to make it public, but now Zhong Yu wants to maintain this agreement, but he is blamed by Scarlett.

Of course, this can be passed away, but the important thing is that now this sentence makes Zhong Dajun strange: "It's impossible, you look so handsome, and you play the ball so well...... There can't be a shortage of pretty chicks. ”

Zhong Yu said with a smile: "We in China have a word called fate, which requires fate......

…………

The interview, which was getting farther and farther away at the end, was over, and Zhong Yu was a little apprehensive - it seemed that there were still many people who were concerned about his life's events...... In the future, you have to keep a low profile, a low profile!

Shortly after the interview, Time magazine published a photo of Chung Wook, and on the front, it was very large.

In this way, it can be regarded as a name in history!

Whether it is for the NBA or for the domestic basketball world, or on behalf of the Chinese, it can be regarded as showing its face in this magazine.

Originally, Time Magazine was like America, and it was often China's national leaders who could make it to the cover of this magazine. There are very few other people, Zhong Yu appeared on this cover, and it has also become a thing that shocks the country.

"Zhong Yu really shined this time, and even appeared on the American-like cover of Time Magazine, which is a very rare achievement. If it is said that it is in the Asian edition of Time Magazine, it is better to say something. His current position is indeed difficult to measure in words. ”

Zhong Yu became the first Asian sports figure to log in to Time Magazine, and his presence will make the Chinese basketball world embark on a very different path. This is not only a great honor for him personally, but also a great glory for the Chinese basketball world. ”

"What an achievement...... No matter what attitude foreigners have towards the Chinese. At least, Jongwook has now become one of the best players in the NBA, and he has become the person the NBA will be praised immediately. He could soon become one of the most influential sports figures in the world...... This honor...... He's only 22 years old! ”

………………

There are all kinds of opinions, but most people have their own reasons, and the main thing is that it is impossible to ignore what Zhong Yu has achieved so far.

He may be putting himself on a path unimaginable to Chinese.

The highest glory, the boy chasing the wind, the blazing youth!

When he was struggling on the bench for a chance to play, who would have imagined such a day?

Now I finally have worked hard to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

Of course, there is still a very important task in front of Zhong Yu, that is, to bring the current Hornets team! The Hornets are in good shape right now, and their record is still in first place in the West for the time being.

And then came March Madness for the NBA and NCAA.

March Madness in the NCAA is going to be crazy, and the NBA isn't going to be far off. Because in March, some teams that see one foot in the playoffs and the other foot on the outside will step up their efforts to make the playoffs. And those who are still outside the playoffs will also try to make the playoffs.

The top eight teams are currently ranked, but those who are relatively low in the rankings also have to worry about being blown up by the people behind.

So, March Madness is just around the corner.

Because April is the playoffs, they don't have time.

In March, the NBA was full of crazy teams and blood-red-eyed players, who would do whatever it took to fight their way through the chaos of the army.

Especially the teams in the West.

It is still an era when the West is strong and the East is weak, and none of the top ten teams in the West are easy to mess with. Therefore, the situation in the west will be even more chaotic and chaotic.

The Hornets are currently in first place in the West, and there will be plenty of teams that will want to pull them down.

Paul will be back in April, and whether he can survive until he comes back and give the Hornets a brighter future is a burden on Jongwook.

The outside world is staring at Zhong Yu!

Now, Zhong Yu has surpassed Paul in the MVP rankings, and he has even surpassed Kobe Bryant in the NBA media's personal strength rankings......

Temporarily ranked first in the league!

Under such glory, it is very likely to bring an imbalance in the mentality of a player.

Despair will cause a person to lose confidence in himself and finally collapse, but Zhong Yu, who is only twenty-two years old and has a little yellow robe, is also likely to lose himself in the honor that he didn't expect.

At this time, there was no one next to him to remind him that he needed to calm down.

Once a player loses himself before the accolade, it is likely to lead to a false overestimation of his own strength, which leads to an extreme expansion of self-confidence.

It's going to be bad!

You can only play basketball well if you recognize yourself.

Zhong Yu has no such worries for the time being, but the Hornets' record has also worried him recently.

There are a total of thirty teams in this league, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. They have developed a strong adaptation to their opponents in the long and arduous struggle, and they can quickly find a way to solve the tricks used by their opponents.

The Hornets suffered a couple of defeats after Paul's departure, but they have since stabilized and settled on a new set of tactics centered on Jong-wook.

After that, the Hornets held their ground and regained the No. 1 spot in the West.

However, other teams are also cracking the Hornets' tactics.

In the end, they decided to lock down the initiator of the attack and the finisher of the attack, Zhong Yu...... The presence of this person is indeed too much of a threat to other teams.

After adopting such a tactical guiding ideology, Zhong Yu was able to get the other side to take care of him in every game, and there were often two or even three or even four people in the bag......

In this case, Zhong Yu's score dropped sharply.

After returning from the All-Star break, until the end of February, Jongwook averaged only 30.5 points per game in these games, but his assist count soared, and he averaged seven assists per game in these games.

The 30+7 data is already very luxurious......

However, it didn't help the team.

The strongest person on the Hornets is Jongwook, and his presence can help the Hornets win one victory after another with crazy scoring points.

He averaged 40 points per game, which made the team's offense very smooth and made the opponent feel a little helpless against Jongwook.

But once he transforms into a point guard...... His attacking sharpness wasn't as sharp as it used to be. After all, when Paul worked hard with the Hornets as a new generation of super point guards, he couldn't lead the team to the playoffs......

And Jongwook is certainly far from catching up with Paul in terms of his ability to control the ball, pass the ball, and guide the entire team.

His strength is scoring!

Score against all odds! Score in any situation, and destroy your opponents with points they can't resist, leaving them to crumble under their devastating scoring advantage.

But once Chung Wook's advantage could not be fully exploited, the team fell into a new indescribable state.

In February's post-All-Star game, the Hornets are 3-3 and will move into second place in the West, and the Spurs are pressing for them.

Once the Hornets lose one more game, the Spurs will be able to catch up!

The Lakers in front of them are two wins ahead of them in terms of record.

The situation may not be too critical for the Hornets, after all, they are unlikely to fall out of the playoffs. But for Zhong Yu, the situation is already imminent.

The Hornets can't afford to lose again!

If you lose again, Zhong Yu's newly established fame will fall rapidly in the entire league.

The supreme honor and prestige that the All-Star Lore opponent won the MVP may disappear in such a failure!

Jongwook can't let his team lose again!

Just talking about the current MVP rankings, he is still third for the time being...... But he has been overtaken by Kobe Bryant.

If the Hornets lose again, many people won't agree.

On Feb. 24, the Hornets will host the Motor City Pistons. This game will be crucial for them, because if they lose, the Spurs will be able to overtake them and finish second in the West, and the Hornets will be in a dangerous situation at that time.

This game is a complete turnaround battle for the Hornets, and it will be very difficult to explain once they lose.

The Pistons made a hateful trade this season, trading Billups, a grassroots star, to the Nuggets and Iverson. It turned out to be a losing trade, and the Pistons' record did not improve because of Iverson, but fell all the way, while the Nuggets in the West suddenly rose to become a serious contender for the Western Conference championship......

This has to be said to be a creation of people, and Iverson, who was so powerful in the past, will now be called a 'team cancer'.

Of course, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, the Pistons are a championship team, the bad boys are still here, and against the current Hornets, the winning rate of both sides should be five or five......

After all, the Hornets are not the imposing Hornets who won 12 straight games at the beginning of the season.

If you want to win such a match, you must first consider the matter of Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu has also been testing his style of play recently, trying to find his own way out......

Although he has unlocked many areas, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, every star who is become an inexplicable star has to go through a lot of setbacks and summaries, Zhong Yu is in the process of this summarization, he needs enough time to grow.

On February 23, the day before the game began, Scott and Zhong Yu chatted.

"As you can imagine, the Pistons will do their best to contain you." "They'll do everything they can to keep you from scoring," Scott said. Because your score is just too much of a threat to other teams. ”

Zhong nodded sullenly.

"You don't have to be depressed about this, because, I think you know, this league is like this, and it's really hard to get ahead." "If you can wait until Chris comes back, when the two people in the backcourt are all in place, it's not difficult to break down the opponent's defense," Scott said. They also don't have enough power to wrap you up, but now it's different. ”

"My suggestion is that maybe we can ignore the results for a while and wait for Chris to come back. That way we'll be able to get closer, and you'll be able to save your strength and wait for the Hornets to make the final and strongest blow of the regular season this season. ”

Scott said heavily.

Zhong Yu frowned, he knew what Scott meant by this, not that he felt that he was inferior to Paul...... Rather, it is to propose a stopgap solution.

After all, it's not a way to keep fighting like this, so it's better to let the Hornets wait for Paul to come back, and when he comes back, the lineup is complete, and then they will charge for the Western Conference championship.

It's just that Zhong Yu is not reconciled!

Especially after being the boss of the Hornets for a while, he is even more unwilling!

He also wants to lead this team out of the encirclement, make all opponents scared, and make the whole league tremble for them.

After all, he was just a twenty-two-year-old young man, and at this age of rapid hormonal growth, blood and qi were synonymous with them.

It is impossible for Zhong Yu to accept his own failure, let alone this kind of failure for no reason!

At that moment, he shook his head: "Boss, let me try." ”

Scott glanced at Zhong Yu and could see the hardness in his gaze...... Although he hasn't known Zhong Yu for too long, as a head coach, he knows Zhong Yu to some extent.

He knew this person's surname, and since he had decided to do it himself, it might be very difficult for others to persuade him.

"Okay." Scott patted Zhong Yu on the shoulder: "You have to take care of your body, no matter when, your body is the capital for you to survive in this alliance." ”

Zhong Yu nodded and said, "I will." ”

――――――

On February 24, 2009, the game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Detroit Pistons was officially played in New Orleans!

This is also a much-anticipated game, of course, this has nothing to do with the legendary 'Kiqing' of Iverson and Jongwook, the main thing is that everyone cares about the results of these two teams.

Because winning is too important for both teams.

Zhong Yu and Iverson had a few pre-match greetings, and the two of them finally separated, both of them a little preoccupied.

This game, after all, still concerns a lot of people.

After that, the competition officially begins!

As expected, the Detroit Pistons had a crazy package on Jongwook at the beginning of the game!

Hamilton, Prince, and even Kwame Brown restricted Jongwook's catches as if they were desperate, making it difficult for him to catch them.

And the rest of the Hornets, after losing Zhong Yu's powerful firepower, still looked as at a loss as in the previous games.

At the end of the game, the score was 18:13, and the Hornets were already five points behind.

Zhong Yu only scored 6 points in a single quarter, and he was in no state at all.
