Chapter 46 Please double-team me to show my respect
Van Gundy, Yao Ming and Zhang Zhiyuan attended the post-game press conference.
Before reporters even asked, Van Gundy fired from a distance: "The team doctor has confirmed that Tracy will miss the rest of the game. This is a dirty foul. Bruce Bowen should be kicked out of the league. Their victory is meaningless."
significance."
"Jeff, are you saying that Bowen's foul was intentional?"
the reporter asked.
"Of course, he doesn't do this kind of thing very often?"
Van Gundy said angrily.
The referees had watched the replay during the game and unanimously concluded that the tiptoeing was not intentional. However, Van Gundy didn't care and felt aggrieved if he didn't say anything.
"Yao, you lost a core player when you were 0-2 behind. Do you think there is still a chance for this series?"
the reporter asked.
"We will not give up and we will fight until the last moment."
Yao Ming said perfunctorily that he was not in a good mood at this time.
"Do you think Bowen's foul was intentional?"
the reporter asked.
"I don't know whether he caused Tracy's injury intentionally or not."
Yao Ming said.
"Zhang, before the game started, you said that the Rockets could defeat the Spurs and win the championship, but why are you behind 0-2 now?"
quipped a local San Antonio reporter.
Zhang Zhiyuan's arrogance made Triski very unhappy before, and now he directly makes things difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan regardless of the atmosphere of McGrady's injury.
"I said it, and I will definitely do it."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Next season, the season after that doesn't count."
Triski said something he thought was humorous.
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled when he heard this. He remembered a novel he had read, The Master.
I never thought that I would be lucky enough to replicate Tang Rou's famous scene.
Ever since, Zhang Zhiyuan nodded the table coolly: "This is the season."
"Fake."
Triski uttered a curse word in a very rude manner.
It's already 0 to 2, and the core general has been injured. It's really weird to be able to reverse it.
Although he knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was trying to be tough, Triski really couldn't do anything against Zhang Zhiyuan.
Of course, he didn't stop there.
Triski said: "Everyone can talk empty words, but what should I do if I can't do it?"
"If I can't do it, I will quit the NBA and never play basketball again. Are you satisfied?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said calmly.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole room was shocked.
They would never have imagined that a player would risk his career for a ridiculous taunt. This is not stupid, it is simply too stupid.
Everyone was very confused. After all, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't look like a fool, but why would he do such a stupid thing?
"Are you sure?"
Triski asked.
"Of course not, he was just joking with everyone to liven up the atmosphere..."
Yao Ming grabbed the microphone and answered for Zhang Zhiyuan.
He was heartbroken because of this unreliable teammate.
Before Yao Ming finished speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan snatched the microphone away again and reiterated: "I'm not kidding, I will do what I said."
After saying that, Zhang Zhiyuan stood up and left.
The retreating figure actually gave people a somewhat heroic and sad feeling.
Some reporters felt a little ashamed and felt that targeting a player in this way was a bit excessive.
The other party just said a few wrong words, and the other party is still just a child. Although he is a bit older, the other party is indeed only 19 years old, an age where he can make mistakes.
Everyone was whispering, not knowing how to continue.
The NBA has been developing for decades, and this is the first time this kind of thing has happened.
Then the Spurs showed up, and reporters didn't ask a single question related to the game. They were all asking them what they thought of Zhang Zhiyuan's oath.
"Courage is commendable."
Popovich was surprised and didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
"I hope he can stay in the league, but I would rather win."
Duncan said.
"He is just such a person. He likes to talk all kinds of big words. I don't care about his affairs."
Parker was disdainful, but secretly happy in his heart.
.......
[China’s Zhang Haoyan said that if he doesn’t win the championship this season, he will quit the NBA and stop playing basketball.]
[Traditional Tracy McGrady was kicked to his feet, and experts predict it will take at least three months to recover.]
[The Rockets suffered another disastrous defeat, falling behind 0-2.]
In a highly anticipated game, the outcome report was only listed in the third column.
A superstar's injury can't even make headlines.
Zhang Zhiyuan's oath has attracted huge attention, which is shocking and confusing.
James was the first to jump out and appeal: "That reporter should not have done this. I hope everyone will not take this matter seriously. I hope Zhang can continue to stay in the league. I like to watch him play and play with him."
O'Neal followed closely: "Some reporters are really unfriendly to our players, and any inappropriate words or deeds we have will be amplified by them."
Buckley: "The stakes are bigger than kissing a donkey's butt. He is the real gambler. His odds of winning are very small. May God bless him."
Garnett: "Maybe he just said it casually. Even if he doesn't retire by then, no one can force him, right?"
On social media, many fans criticized Triski, saying that he deliberately induced Zhang Zhiyuan to say the wrong thing, which was very despicable.
Of course, some fans say that a public figure should be responsible for his words and deeds, and a man should keep his word.
This incident had such a great impact that even Stern was alarmed.
Stern cursed Triski from afar for more than ten minutes.
A very popular star was destroyed, which is a huge loss to the league.
Stern immediately dialed Zhang Zhiyuan's phone number and said, "Zhang, you shouldn't have said that. I'm going to help you with your public relations, and then you just need to apologize."
"No, I am doing this to motivate myself. There is an idiom in our country called "burning the cauldron and sinking the boat," which means that only by leaving no way for yourself to retreat can you unleash your strongest combat effectiveness. Only in this way can I have a chance to defeat the Spurs."
Zhang Zhiyuan suppressed his laughter and said something very silly, which made Stern burst into tears.
I have seen tigers, but I have never seen such a tiger.
Zhang Zhiyuan clearly rejected his kindness, and Stern had no choice but to write down Triski's name in a small notebook.
He vowed to catch this guy and make him lose his job and make it impossible for him to survive in the sports circle.
After hanging up Stern's phone, other people called again, all with the same purpose: to persuade him to conduct crisis public relations and apologize.
Zhang Zhiyuan was so annoyed that he simply posted a dynamic statement on social media.
[Thanks to those friends who cared about me, but I will never take back my words. There are two particularly famous generals in our country. One scuttled the warship before the war started, cutting off the way home, and the other general scuttled the warship before the war started.
The army was deployed by the river, leaving the soldiers with no way to retreat, and then they completed the feat of defeating more with less.
How can we grow without going through desperate situations? If we don’t push ourselves, we will never know our limits. Isn’t it cool to come back after falling behind 0-2 and Tracy McGrady was injured? 】
As soon as the post was posted, it immediately received over 10,000 likes.
Fans finally understood why Zhang Zhiyuan made such a vow. It turned out to be to force him to unleash his potential.
I have to say that this behavior is quite heroic.
Fans affectionately named Zhang Zhiyuan's behavior, the spirit of a dead soldier.
Zhang Zhiyuan's news can be regarded as an official announcement, and he has cut off all escape routes.
Countless fans were moved by this and were looking forward to the Rockets vs. Spurs game.
Even some people who don’t watch football originally are planning to watch this series. They want to see the ‘real man’ Zhang Zhiyuan.
On the 20th, the Cavaliers played against the Pistons. James scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, defeating the Pistons and regaining the game.
In an interview after the game, James said that he was inspired by Zhang Zhiyuan and unleashed his potential.
On the 21st, the Rockets played against the Spurs at home.
Kobe sat down in front of the TV early, and even made an exception to stop his daily training for this game.
Kobe felt stupid for Zhang Zhiyuan's pledge, but he also admired it.
To be fair, he thought he did not dare to make such an oath.
Turning on the TV, Kobe was confused again. He didn't know whether he should expect Zhang Zhiyuan to win or hope that Zhang Zhiyuan would lose.
He hopes Zhang Zhiyuan can continue to stay in the league, and he still wants to take revenge.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan's continued stay in the league means that the Rockets beat the Spurs and win the championship, which will make him very bitter.
So confused.
Far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Liu Yan also sat down in front of the TV early.
Yesterday's sports news worried her.
"Your little wolfdog is a bit silly."
Xie Nan came over to tease her, but Liu Yan was no longer in the mood to fight with her.
This game is related to Zhang Zhiyuan's career and is very serious.
Seeing that Liu Yan was in a bad mood, Xie Nan quickly stopped and sat next to her waiting for the game to start.
On TV, commentators and guests were analyzing the Rockets' chances of winning.
"The Rockets' winning rate in this game is very low, and this series is even more hopeless. With McGrady, they lost two games to the Spurs by a huge margin. Now without McGrady and an important scoring point, they will only
Losing even more miserably..."
The expert's words made the two girls' hearts melt.
At the same time, the canteens, Internet cafes, and living rooms of wealthy children's homes were all filled with teenagers.
"Brother Zhang won't really retire like this. That would be a loss for Chinese basketball."
"It's impossible to retire. The worst he can do is regret it later. Who can force him to retire?"
"It's not that easy. If a public figure publicly breaks his promise, his image will be completely ruined."
.......
Everyone was talking, and their words were full of anxiety, worry and helplessness.
At seven o'clock sharp, the players enter the stadium.
The Spurs showed up, and there were deafening boos.
When Bowen came into view, the boos turned to abuse, and one excited fan even threw popcorn at him.
Bowen was not ashamed at all, but rather complacent.
The Rockets players entered the venue, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan enter the stadium, the fans had mixed emotions.
I don't know whether to cheer him up or blame him for his recklessness.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked normal and seemed not to be affected by the oath.
Appear, warm up, and the game begins.
Zhang Zhiyuan replaced McGrady and played shooting guard.
However, he did not use the attribute chain on Mike Finley. There is no point in weakening Mike Finley. The person who will guard him later may be Finley, Ginobili or Bowen, or both of them.
Zhang Zhiyuan used it on Parker to absorb the opponent's speed and some ball-handling skills.
In addition, he also used the descending of the gods.
[The arrival of the gods: the user's all attributes are increased by 20%, and there is a 20% chance of triggering a sure hit, lasting 24 minutes (clock time on the field). 】
The amplification effect is stronger than any star experience card. The only disadvantage is that the duration is relatively short.
But it doesn't matter, if one Goddess of Destiny can't defeat the Spurs, then two.
The hatred value in the system store has accumulated to 9640, which is basically enough.
The whistle sounded, Yao Ming and Oberto jumped the ball, and the basketball was dialed to the Rockets' side.
Alston controlled the ball and advanced, and as soon as half-time passed, he saw Zhang Zhiyuan reaching for the ball.
Alston passed it.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan started, passing Finley in one step and bursting into the penalty area.
When approaching the penalty area, he stopped for a jump shot.
Even if the attributes are increased by 20%, you can't act recklessly or break into the crowd.
The ball goes in.
The so-called full attributes include shooting stability.
"Beautiful, Xiao Zhang played very actively today."
Sun Zhengping said.
"Tracy McGrady was injured, and there was no one on the outside holding the ball for singles, so he changed from not having the ball to holding the ball. This is very reasonable."
Zhang Lili said.
The Spurs counterattacked, and Duncan caught the ball and made a jump shot from the basket.
Unlike what other stars say, Duncan really doesn't want Zhang Zhiyuan to leave the league. But he won't give in because of this. Going all out is a sign of respect for Zhang Zhiyuan.
The offense and defense transitioned, and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to attack with the ball.
Finlay took two steps back, focusing on guarding against Zhang Zhiyuan's breakthrough.
Zhang Zhiyuan prefers Hushanxing, but he still forces his way to the basket.
God's Coming increases attributes such as strength, speed, bounce and shooting stability, but it does not increase the shooting percentage.
Therefore, it is most cost-effective to shoot close to the basket.
Mike Finley was defending closely and felt a huge force crash into his body. In confusion, he fell backwards.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to take two steps and made a jump shot.
The ball goes in.
After entering again, some Rockets fans couldn't help but get excited, as they seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan scoring consecutive goals, Parker felt very unhappy.
Then he also broke through with the ball and went to the basket, but was blocked by Yao Ming.
Alston and Zhang Zhiyuan quickly counterattacked, leaving only Bowen in front of them.
Bowen defended himself with one and quickly retreated.
When he was approaching the basket, Alston passed the ball, and Zhang Zhiyuan received the ball, squeezed Bowen away, and dunked with one hand.
"Your little wolfdog is as strong as an ox."
Xie Nan complained.
In less than three rounds, Zhang Zhiyuan had already knocked down two people. It was so cruel.
"What's your family? Does he have anything to do with me? I'm not that narcissistic."
Liu Yan couldn't help but complain.
"It has nothing to do with you, why are you so nervous?"
"Where am I nervous?"
...
After three out of three in the opening game, Zhang Zhiyuan made an autograph gesture towards Bowen who was sitting on the ground and said, "Do you want my autograph?"
This celebration is not only domineering but also somewhat elegant. It is many times more sophisticated than those who stick out their hips.
But since it was the first time, most fans didn't react yet.
But it didn't matter. In the next round, Zhang Zhiyuan hit a hard shot against Finley and Bowen's double-team, and caused Finley's thug to foul.
Zhang Zhiyuan once again signed autographs for fans.
These fans finally understood, and Barkley, who didn't understand, also helped them interpret the meaning of this action.
"cool."
"It's so domineering to make your opponent your fan."
"Finley deserves to be Zhang's fan."
Rockets fans were excited.
Although the promotion situation is still difficult, the team is performing well now, and they can also be happy for a while.
Zhang Zhiyuan made four of four starts and scored 9 points.
But the Spurs didn't panic and continued to attack step by step.
After scoring, the score was 6-9, only 3 points behind.
When the Rockets attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed. Seeing that it was too late to take off, he could only pass the ball back to Alston.
Alston immediately passed the ball to Yao Ming, who was about to reach the basket. Yao Ming singled out Oberto and scored easily.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly rushed to Parker's side, and with his quick eyes and hands, he quickly took the basketball.
Parker was careless. He didn't expect Zhang Zhiyuan to do this.
Zhang Zhiyuan chased the basketball, picked it up, and rushed towards the Spurs' half.
The reaction of the others was half a beat too slow. By the time they reacted, they could no longer catch up and could only watch Zhang Zhiyuan score.
There was no one in front of me, so this was a once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunity.
With all his attributes enhanced, he was naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity.
I saw him pick up the basketball, take three steps and run wildly, which was equivalent to telling everyone that he was going to dunk.
"It's too early."
Smith said worriedly.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan had already taken off from the free throw line and flew towards the basket.
"Oh buy it!"
Buckley opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that such an action would occur in actual combat.
The fans and spectators also stared wide-eyed, unable to believe this scene.
But the fact is before our eyes, Zhang Zhiyuan completed a tomahawk chop from the free throw line.
This move would be a perfect score in the slam dunk contest.
Alston excitedly rushed to Zhang Zhiyuan, straightened his jersey, and made a gesture like a fan asking for an autograph.
Battier punched Zhang Zhiyuan in excitement. This way of expressing his excitement almost sent Zhang Zhiyuan away.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it. I dare say that this goal is the best goal of the season. No other goal can surpass it."
Barkley boasted.
"Not necessarily, maybe there will be more beautiful goals in the future."
Smith said.
"No way, if there is a more beautiful goal than this, I will eat this basketball."
Barkley made harsh words.
China.
Xie Nan covered his mouth and said after a long time: "Is this still a human being?"
"It's so shocking, I can't even imagine it."
Liu Yan was also shocked.
"He's so fierce, can you bear it?"
Xie Nan couldn't be serious for more than three seconds, and then started to blame Liu Yan.
Liu Yan could only roll his eyes and lazily defend and deny it.
After a short celebration at the scene, the game continued.
The Spurs attacked, and Bowen sneaked in from the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.
9 to 13, the Spurs were still clinging to the score.
"The Spurs are too strong. Even if the Rockets had a fantastic start and made 6 of 6 shots, they still didn't widen the point difference. When their touch drops, they will have no chance."
ESPN commentator Philip said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan also missed his first shot of the day.
Phillip smiled even happier.
But he forgot that the Spurs' offense just now was also superb.
Soon the Spurs also revealed their true colors, and Finley took a shot.
The Rockets attack, Zhang Zhiyuan holds the ball, and Bowen moves over to double-team.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored the ball and Battier made a shot from the open position.
"Look after your own people and don't double-team them."
Popovich yelled at Bowen off the court.
His idea is very simple. Zhang Zhiyuan cannot always be so accurate, and Zhang Zhiyuan's physical strength cannot play the entire game. As long as he prevents other people from dying, it doesn't matter if Zhang Zhiyuan gets a high score.
If a double-team is rash and the Rockets' role players are allowed to shoot away, it will be even more dangerous.
Popovich shouted so loudly that Zhang Zhiyuan heard it.
In the next round, he held the ball and beat Finley alone.
Finlay was very defensive, but Zhang Zhiyuan still chose to force the jump.
Even if he misses, it's just a wasted opportunity. But if he succeeds, he can take the opportunity to show off.
The two collided in the air, but Zhang Zhiyuan remained motionless, still maintaining his standard shooting posture.
Take the shot and the ball goes in.
Zhang Zhiyuan rushed to Popovich: "You'd better double-team me to show respect for me."
Popovich was stunned for a moment. In so many years of coaching, this was the first time he saw a player trash-talking an opponent's coach.
After the Spurs players reacted, they also came over to warn Zhang Zhiyuan, and there was some pushing and shoving in the process.
"You're too arrogant. You'll get beaten easily if you're so arrogant."
Barkley complained.
"Hahaha, I think this sentence is very cool. Why didn't I think of saying this when I was playing?"
Smith laughed.
cctv, Zhang Lili couldn't help but complain: "This Xiao Zhang is strong, but he is also really crazy."
"Young people have more personality."
Sun Zhengping smiled.
They have all staked their careers, and they are indeed very individual.
Zhang Lili shook his head secretly, feeling that he could not keep up with the times.
The game continued, the Spurs did not double-team, but replaced Finley with Ginobili.
Popovich wants to try Ginobili's effectiveness in guarding Zhang Zhiyuan.
Ginobili is very fast, but Zhang Zhiyuan noticed that his efficiency is not high.
Ever since, Zhang Zhiyuan chose to bully Parker.
He had a small collaboration with Alston, Parker helped block Ginobili, and Zhang Zhiyuan went to single out Parker.
The scene was very cruel. Zhang Zhiyuan pushed past Parker and continued to rush towards the basket. Parker was so anxious that he grabbed Zhang Zhiyuan's jersey.
As a result, Zhang Zhiyuan's strength was so strong that he knocked Parker over, but he rushed to the basket and hit a layup like a normal person.
Parker fouled the ball in front, so the goal can be considered invalid.
But this was the Rockets' home court. Seeing that this was a result that was in favor of the Rockets, the referee was too lazy to call it off.
The first quarter lasted 6 minutes, 15 to 23, and the Rockets led by 8 points.
The Spurs called timeout again, and Zhang Zhiyuan came to the side of the court and shouted to the fans: "The show has just begun. Don't blink next time to avoid missing the wonderful moment."
"cool."
The emotions of the fans at the scene were instantly ignited.
