The Warriors attacked, Stephen made a tactical move, and Zhang Zhiyuan kept up with him without losing his position.
As soon as Stephen stopped, Zhang Zhiyuan started trash-talking: "Keep running, that's not all you can do."
When he played against the Spurs, Zhang Zhiyuan thought it would be difficult to anger Duncan, and because he was out of position, he was too lazy to talk trash.
Now, he wants to try to anger Stephen so that he can absorb more of his attributes.
"While I was flying on the court, you were still holding a bottle and watching TV."
Stephen spat back.
In the original time and space, Stephen joined the big3 league after retiring and was elected the best trash talker in the big3 league.
He also talks a lot of trash.
"While you were lying on the wheelchair and watching the TV, I was still speeding on the court."
Zhang Zhiyuan replied.
While they were chatting, the Warriors had already completed an attack and Harrington missed a three-pointer.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan played a pick-and-roll with his teammates, then broke through Biedrins and went to the basket to score two points.
Looking back, Zhang Zhiyuan mocked Stephen: "Some people have already scored 4 points, and some people still have zero points."
Stephen was furious when he heard this. Most of the time, he tortured others with trash talk. He never expected that he would be humiliated by trash talk today.
"No one who has ever scored 40 points can be so happy with 4 points."
Stephen said.
His current career high score is 42, which is much better than Zhang Zhiyuan in this aspect.
"Stop showing off your miserable past. I only look at the present."
The two kept talking nonsense, and after a few rounds, Stephen found that he seemed to have been fooled.
Zhang Zhiyuan basically talked nonsense on defense and did not delay the offense.
But he was talking nonsense with Zhang Zhiyuan during the attack, resulting in him not making a move after several rounds.
After realizing this, Stephen chose to shut up and concentrate on running tactics and looking for opportunities to strike.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhiyuan was very focused and didn't give him a chance.
In desperation, Stephen could only forcefully take action and try to defeat Zhang Zhiyuan.
Unfortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan defended well, but Stephen's shooting posture was very uncomfortable, and the ball did not go in in the end.
"You should just defend honestly and don't waste your offensive opportunities."
As soon as he got the chance, Zhang Zhiyuan ridiculed him vigorously.
[The hatred from Stephen is worth 50 points.]
After talking so much, Zhang Zhiyuan finally made Stephen angry. However, this was not enough.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers offense was not going well, and Kobe passed the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan.
But Zhang Zhiyuan didn't have a chance.
Seeing that the attack time was approaching, Zhang Zhiyuan could only force a jump shot.
The ball goes in.
Zhang Zhiyuan seems to have very good luck today.
"6-0, you were beaten by the undrafted pick."
Zhang Zhiyuan reminded Stephen.
"..."
Stephen was speechless. The best response at this time was to hit the ball in singles.
However, Stephen is not absolutely sure.
Fortunately, Davis was loyal enough to pass the ball to him and let him settle his personal grudges.
Stephen used his own trick, changing back continuously for a layup, and successfully scored.
Zhang Zhiyuan regretted this very much. If he had guarded against it this time, he would have angered the opponent again.
The game continued, Zhang Zhiyuan was still working hard, but Stephen's hatred value did not increase.
In the first quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan played eight minutes and was replaced. He scored 6 points on 3 of 4 shots, while Stephen only scored 2 points on 1 of 3 shots.
It is already very difficult to fight like this with Stephen.
In the second quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan appeared again against Stephen.
In order to anger Stephen, Zhang Zhiyuan was ready to take risks.
While defending Stephen, Zhang Zhiyuan quietly pinched his waist.
The waist is a particularly fragile and sensitive part of a person. With Zhang Zhiyuan's hand strength, he can make ordinary people cry with one pinch.
Of course Stephen was not that unbearable, but he also felt severe pain, and even made a mistake because of it and lost the basketball.
Kobe had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the basketball for a fast break.
"Madefak, I won't make it easy for you."
Stephen glared at Zhang Zhiyuan, but Zhang Zhiyuan looked innocent, which made Stephen's anger even more intense.
Subsequently, the hatred value finally exceeded 100 and reached 130.
The attribute bonus has also become 6%.
Zhang Zhiyuan increased by 6%, and Stephen decreased by 6%. This is a 12% attribute difference.
At first Stephen didn't feel much, but gradually Stephen began to feel like he was no longer in the best condition today.
This feeling was mysterious and he couldn't explain it clearly, but he could feel it.
The Warriors attacked, Stephen received the pass, hesitated and passed it to his teammate.
It didn't feel good and he didn't want to waste the shot.
"What's wrong with Stephen? He played really badly today."
The commentator of the Golden State local station couldn't help complaining that Stephen has only scored 2 points so far, which is too few.
Davis caught the ball and beat Smush, relying on his strength to squeeze Smush away, and then made a jumper to score two points.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan actively asked for the ball and then hit Stephen with his back.
Soon the fans were surprised to find that Stephen seemed a little unable to defend himself, and Zhang Zhiyuan kept approaching the penalty area.
Subsequently, Zhang Zhiyuan turned around and shot a jumper.
The ball went in.
"8 minus 2 equals 6, and 8 divided by 2 equals 4."
Zhang Zhiyuan reminded the two of their scores, and Stephen became furious.
Returning to the offensive end, Stephen decided to fight back.
Zhang Zhiyuan defended alone, and Stephen chose to break through.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan has discovered a weakness of Stephen when he breaks through, that is, the racket is very high, which makes it easy to steal.
Seeing Stephen's breakthrough, Zhang Zhiyuan took the risk and stretched out his hand.
steal.
Zhang Zhiyuan encountered the basketball, chased after it, picked it up, and took the ball for a fast break.
Stephen chased after him, but Zhang Zhiyuan finally chose to dunk. It was difficult for Stephen to block the shot.
Ever since, he pushed Zhang Zhiyuan.
This is a very dangerous move. Stephen has lost his mind. He cannot accept the humiliation of being an undrafted player.
Zhang Zhiyuan fell outside the court, bumped into reporters on the sidelines, and fell into the crowd.
The whistle sounded, and at the same time, the referee separated Stephen and the Lakers players in time to prevent the two sides from pushing.
Zhang Zhiyuan got up and was not injured.
However, he was still frightened by the danger just now.
If Stephen took action later and pushed someone when he jumped to the highest point, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Soon, the referee gave Stephen a first-level flagrant foul.
This is a very light penalty. Ten years later, this kind of foul would definitely be directly expelled at the second level.
"This penalty is too light and not reasonable at all. Stephen's action just now is very dangerous and is very likely to ruin a player's career."
Zhang Lili commented.
"Fortunately, Xiao Zhang is in good health and seems to be fine."
Sun Zhengping said.
In front of the TV, all kinds of national curses have already been heard.
"Fuck, this grandson is really nothing."
"If you can't beat me, then I'll play with dirty shit."
"Damn it, if I could play, I would kill him directly."
The Chinese fans turned a blind eye to Zhang Zhiyuan's little actions and were filled with indignation at Stephen's dirty tricks, wanting to tear him into pieces.
On the North American side, fans are more discussing the strength of Zhang Zhiyuan and Stephen.
"What's going on? It feels like Stephen has been beaten."
Some fans murmured in disbelief.
You know, Stephen used to be the team leader in the Hawks, won a championship as a starter in the Spurs, and is now the second-in-command in the Warriors.
No matter how you look at it, he should beat Zhang Zhiyuan.
The current situation is that because Stephen was beaten up, he became angry and hurt others.
"Leif, what do you think?"
The Mavericks manager asked his assistant that Zhang Zhiyuan's agent had previously expressed to him that he wanted to join the Mavericks, so he took the time to check Zhang Zhiyuan's information and even watched the live broadcast.
"It's really good. It's definitely not a loss to sign a contract with a minimum salary. However, we have Josh, Jerry and Devin, and our forward line is already good enough."
Leif said.
"You are right, our lineup is already good enough and there is no need to change it."
The Mavericks manager smiled and turned off the TV. They didn't need a small forward or even any reinforcements.
With the league's first record, he is qualified to think so.
On the court, Zhang Zhiyuan executed a free throw.
After making two free throws, the Lakers still had the ball. Kobe caught the ball and made a shot. This time the Warriors suffered a big loss.
The Warriors attacked, but Stephen was depressed and had no desire to attack.
On the contrary, Zhang Zhiyuan was very active and even participated in assisting defense, showing his defensive enthusiasm.
It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Zhang Zhiyuan actively asked for the ball and took shots.
Although he didn't make it, his attitude of daring to fight and fight is worthy of recognition.
After a few rounds, it felt like Stephen was really beaten.
So, Don Nelson replaced Monta Ellis, let Richardson play small forward, and took Stephen off the court.
"Steph got benched as an undrafted player."
The American commentator exclaimed.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan continued to play well and helped the team win another game.
110 to 91, the Lakers defeated the Warriors.
Kobe Bryant scored the highest score on the team, making 12 of 22 shots, including three-pointers and free throws, for a total of 34 points.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored the second highest score on the team, making 9 of 15 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored a total of 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal.
Odom scored 20 points, and the three of them combined for 77 points.
[The Big Three of the Lakers?]
The news after the game gave an interesting headline, which made Zhang Zhiyuan famous.
It also caused a lot of controversy.
Why should an undrafted guy who has only played four games and averaged less than 20 points per game be called a giant? He has simply embarrassed the giants and lowered their quality.
In short, many real giants expressed disdain for this, or even commented lazily.
While fans were still discussing whether Zhang Zhiyuan was a giant, some careful people discovered that the Lakers had not renewed Zhang Zhiyuan's contract.
This is not normal, because we are now in the regular season, and the Lakers need to complete the contract renewal work quickly so that Zhang Zhiyuan can play in the next games.
"Is this your intention or Zhang's? I want to see Zhang."
In the Lakers general manager's office, Kupchak was yelling at Smyer.
