Zhang Zhiyuan didn't use any props and had a fierce battle with the Lakers' five diamonds using two attribute chains, and finally lost the game.
The Clippers lost, but he didn't lose.
In this game, he scored 45 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists. The responsibility for the loss did not fall on him in any case.
Usually, Livingston and Elsoton take the blame.
After defeating the Clippers, Kobe was very happy.
Winning Zhang Zhiyuan means a lot to him.
Kobe Bryant's fans were also very happy. After the game, they ridiculed Zhang Zhiyuan's fans on the Internet, but Zhang Zhiyuan's fans paid little attention to them.
It's just a game, it doesn't mean anything. The Clippers also lost to the Spurs, so Clippers fans are not worried.
With a record among the top three in the league, Clippers fans feel confident.
On the 8th, the Clippers challenge the Rockets away from home.
What makes Chinese fans regretful is that Yao Ming was injured and is in the process of recuperating, so there is no derby.
After arriving in Houston, Zhang Zhiyuan first went to visit Yao Ming's home.
"You already have championships, FMVP, and Olympic titles, so why are you still fighting so hard?"
Zhang Zhiyuan complained.
Yao Ming suffered a stress injury, which translated into vernacular means illness caused by overwork.
"You also said that you are the one who averages the longest playing time per game this season."
Yao Ming smiled.
"I'm different from you. I'm still young, and my tonnage is small and my energy consumption is low. It's best to pay attention to your injury. From now on, just play basketball for health, go up and collect some data and that's it."
Zhang Zhiyuan vaguely remembered that Yao Ming retired due to injury in 10 years. Yao Ming was only 31 years old at that time. It was such a pity.
"Who doesn't want to win when we are on the court?"
Yao Ming sighed.
Since Zhang Zhiyuan left the Rockets, the team's performance has plummeted, and he has also been under a lot of pressure.
"So what if you win a few more games? Anyway, with the current situation of your team and the current structure of the league, you will definitely have no chance of winning the championship."
Zhang Zhiyuan's words made some sense, but Yao Ming obviously didn't listen.
Of course, it's not his fault. He didn't know that he would retire so early, and Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't explain it to him.
In the evening, the game between the two teams started.
Without Yao Ming, the Rockets will only have Scola playing the leading role, and their lineup is even worse than the Clippers.
It only took three quarters for the Clippers to defeat the Rockets. Zhang Zhiyuan also clocked out early and became a substitute.
In the three quarters, he scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists.
In the last quarter, the fans at the scene chanted Zhang Zhiyuan's name, hoping that he would play a little longer and get a triple-double.
He still has a lot of fans here, after all, he helped the Rockets win a championship.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not do this, and the data was fixed at 31 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists.
On the 9th, the Clippers challenged the Mavericks in back-to-back away games.
The Clippers didn't even take a break after beating the Rockets and flew directly to Dallas.
By the time it was time to compete, everyone looked very tired.
Even Zhang Zhiyuan felt that he was a little out of shape.
But there is no other way, the game still has to be played.
The whole team was out of shape, and the outcome of the game was predictable.
After three quarters, the Clippers fell behind by 32 points and collapsed.
In the last quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan failed to score again and fell behind by 32 points. Even with props, he could not recover.
Moreover, Zhang Zhiyuan does not want to use props easily anymore. He wants to save the hatred value and save it for the playoffs to surprise the league and give the audience a miracle.
In the end, 95 to 130, the Clippers lost by 35 points. This was their worst loss this season.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
Compared with other stars, this data is actually very good.
But for Zhang Zhiyuan, this data is abnormal.
The news after the game also used this title, indicating that Zhang Zhiyuan's performance was abnormal and the Clippers suffered a disastrous defeat.
Back in Los Angeles, the team took a day off.
On the 11th, the Clippers faced the Bulls at home.
Many players have complained that the NBA schedule is too intensive, and now Zhang Zhiyuan wants to complain too.
He even had the idea of taking one or two days off.
Playing at home, Zhang Zhiyuan hopes to win.
However, the Bulls are not easy to deal with. Their lineup is not weak to begin with, and this year they got lucky and picked Rose as the top pick.
Staples Center, players entering.
Before the warm-up, Zhang Zhiyuan exchanged greetings with the Hollywood stars on the sidelines. Among them, he also saw an actress who had some impressions.
"Hello Zhang, I am your fan, Margot Robbie."
When the beautiful woman saw Zhang Zhiyuan staring at her so brightly, she was secretly happy and said hello even though she was far away.
This kind of behavior is more or less out of bounds. Once Zhang Zhiyuan ignores her, it will be quite embarrassing.
"Hello, Robbie."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said that he remembered that this woman was the heroine in The Wolf of Wall Street. He still remembered the picture of her naked body, with all her hair shaved off.
This is a man with a great figure, good looks, and quite unrestrained.
After receiving Zhang Zhiyuan's response, Robbie was very excited and wanted to rush to the front row.
It's a pity that she is still just an unknown little character who has just debuted, and is not qualified to sit with Li Zizi and the others.
Zhang Zhiyuan just responded and then returned to the court to warm up.
He doesn't need to take the initiative to ask for contact information. As long as the other party is interested, she will definitely come to him.
Even if the other party doesn't come to visit, he can still ask his agent to invite him.
In such a high-profile occasion, just one response is enough for the reporter to compile thousands of words of gossip. What if he still asks for his phone number?
It didn't take until the next day for the whole world to know about the scandal.
This is no exaggeration, Zhang Zhiyuan's current fame and influence are so great.
The warm-up is over and the game begins.
The Clippers' starting lineup is Dragic, Zhang Zhiyuan, Maggette, Thornton, and Kaman.
The Bulls' starting lineup is Rose, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Tyrus, and Joakim Noah.
The two teams competed for the ball, Noah gave the ball to his side, and Rose controlled the ball to advance.
After seeing that the person guarding him was Dragic, Rose was slightly disappointed.
He also thought about Zhang Zhiyuan guarding him, so that he might become famous in one battle.
The No. 1 pick defeated Zhang Zhiyuan, what could be a more attractive title than this?
Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan did not defend him, Rose decided to defeat the second-round pick in front of him first.
Rose started up and made a very exaggerated change of direction, which directly stunned Dragic.
Rose then went inside and succeeded in a layup.
"It's amazing. This is the strength of the No. 1 pick."
Smith praised.
After playing 20 games, Rose showed great breakthrough ability and a pretty good level of assists. He seemed to be a potential superstar.
"In terms of breakthroughs alone, he is no worse than other players. However, his three-pointer is a weakness. He needs to practice three-pointers to be more threatening and score more easily, instead of getting into the crowd every time.
"
Buckley review.
"Have breakthroughs, be able to organize, and practice three-pointers. This is going in the direction of Zhang Zhiyuan."
Smith laughed.
"Is there any problem? Isn't Zhang Zhiyuan the best player in the league now? Isn't it natural to imitate him?"
Buckley asked.
In his opinion, Zhang Zhiyuan's style of play is most suitable for the current league, and all other guards and even small forwards should learn from him.
"No."
Smith said.
On the court, the Clippers counterattacked.
Zhang Zhiyuan holds the ball, and Gordon is vigilant in front of him, not daring to get too far away or too close.
Defending Zhang Zhiyuan is a very difficult job.
He wanted to complain about Zhang Zhiyuan, why didn't he continue to play the 3rd position instead of playing the 2nd position? It was too bullying.
Zhang Zhiyuan started, and Gordon followed suit.
But it was too late, and his reaction seemed slower than usual.
Originally not as strong as Zhang Zhiyuan, but now he is still in poor condition, Gordon is even more unable to guard against him.
Zhang Zhiyuan also broke in and made a dunk.
The Bulls attacked and Rose continued to break through.
However, the Clippers chose to shrink their defense in this round. Rose quickly passed the ball to Luol Deng in the middle of the breakthrough, and Luol Deng made a long two-pointer.
The ball goes in.
The Clippers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan held the ball. This time Rose ran in front of him very actively and flanked Gordon.
Zhang Zhiyuan simply threw the ball to Dragic, who made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
The ball goes in.
The Bulls attacked, Rose broke through, and Zhang Zhiyuan also went over to attack.
Rose was inexperienced and failed to pass the ball out in time. Or, he may want to challenge Zhang Zhiyuan's defense head-on.
However, the final outcome was that he was cut off from the basketball and made a mistake.
Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and started a fast break. Rose ran fast and chased Zhang Zhiyuan to the basket.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan took off for a dunk, and Rose followed suit, but his jump was not high enough and did not cover him. Instead, he became the backdrop for the dunk.
The ball goes in.
"It's still a little tender."
Buckley review.
"The motivation is pretty good."
Smith gave a positive evaluation.
When the Bulls attacked, Rose was much more honest this time. He kept dribbling the ball from the outside and waiting for his teammates to get opportunities.
Noah asked for the ball in the high post and Rose passed through it.
Then Noah made a jumper, and Kaman was too slow to follow up and didn't catch it.
The ball goes in.
There is no way, the Clippers' defense is so bad, there are loopholes everywhere.
In the first few rounds, the Bulls played vigorously and were no weaker than the Clippers.
The game continues.
Zhang Zhiyuan used his personal ability to break through again, getting to the basket to attract double-teams and then split the ball. Kaman dunked in an alley-oop.
The Bulls attacked, and Rose finally found the opponent he wanted. Zhang Zhiyuan came in front of him.
"Your name is Rose, why not Jack?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
This guy's name is exactly the same as the name of the heroine in Titanic, and rose means rose.
A man named Rose Flower, from the Chinese point of view, is somewhat girly.
Ross ignored Zhang Zhiyuan and concentrated on breaking through.
But Zhang Zhiyuan is not slow at all in his actions despite his words. This is his unique skill.
Rose's breakthrough was blocked, and he was forced to stop, retreat, and start again, but still couldn't get through.
"This guy looks down on Zhang Zhiyuan's defense too much. He just wants to get over it like this?"
Buckley asked.
In the end, Rose chose to shoot a long two-pointer.
Faced with his choice, Zhang Zhiyuan simply ignored it.
Instead of struggling to prevent Rose's breakthrough, it's better to let Rose take long shots.
He remembered that in the early days, Rose had poor long-range shooting ability and relied on breakthroughs. It was only after a serious injury that he developed a barely usable three-pointer.
The basketball hit the edge of the basket and the ball missed.
Noah jumped to make up the dunk, helping the team score two more points.
This Bulls team is too young. They are all young players who are energetic and play very actively.
Although their experience and tactics are a bit raw, they can achieve a 50% winning rate with just a few random moves.
The Clippers attack, Dragic holds the ball, and Zhang Zhiyuan runs without the ball.
It's too tiring to hold the ball all the time, and occasionally he has to take a break or two.
Gordon followed closely, and Zhang Zhiyuan had to work very hard to get away from him. He simply stood still outside the three-point line to save energy.
Dragic broke through and scored the ball.
Maggette followed up, caught the ball and went to the basket and scored.
"4-1 formation, 4-1 formation."
Bulls coach De Nagro shouted from the sidelines that he could accept not being able to guard Zhang Zhiyuan, but he would not allow others on the Clippers to score too many points.
When the Bulls attack, the Clippers also defend in a 4-1 formation.
Zhang Zhiyuan followed Gordon, the only three-pointer in the Bulls' starting lineup, and the other four people stayed in the paint.
The whistle sounded and the referee whistled Thornton for three seconds.
This is a drawback of shrinking defense and tests the player's ability.
The Bulls continued to attack, Rose broke through Dragic and went to the basket for another two points.
A fresh trick that can be eaten all over the world.
Dragic knew Rose was going to break through, but even if he couldn't guard against it, there was nothing he could do. If he had been able to guard against it, he wouldn't have fallen to the second round.
Precisely because he is only a second-round pick, not many people blame him when he performs poorly sometimes.
This can be considered an advantage of low-ranking rookies, as they have less pressure.
The Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, Maggette helped him set a screen, delaying Gordon who was chasing him, and then Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and shot.
Three point hit.
This ability to seize opportunities made Gordon desperate, and he used the cover of his teammates to get a shot. This tactic is used by many players.
The difference between them and Zhang Zhiyuan is that their shooting percentage is not high when they get opportunities, only 40 to 60%.
But if Zhang Zhiyuan is given such an opportunity, he will have a hit rate of at least 70%. Who can bear this?
The only thing Gordon can be thankful for now is that almost all No. 2 positions in the league have been beaten by Zhang Zhiyuan.
Therefore, if he is not performing well now, not many people will blame him.
No one can guard against it, so why should he guard against it?
The Bulls were attacking, and Gordon didn't have much success on the offensive end. His only role was probably to contain Zhang Zhiyuan's defense.
This contribution is not too small. Without Zhang Zhiyuan's defense, Rose and his teammates can often play good offense.
The game continued, with both sides going back and forth, and the fight was very enjoyable.
After the first quarter, 34 to 37, the Bulls were 3 points behind.
The Bulls seemed completely unable to defend against the Clippers' offense, but they didn't lose much because their offense was very smooth and they maintained a high efficiency.
However, if that's all, they still can't beat the Clippers.
