Chapter 192 Expansion
On January 2016, 01, the 05ers played against the Timberwolves at home.
After thirteen consecutive away games, they finally returned to the home court.
The home game is Zhang Zifeng's favorite game.
Because it is familiar, very familiar.The height of the backboard and the tightness of the basket are all clear.
In the game against the Timberwolves, although Wiggins, who has always been inattentive in defense, faced Zhang Zifeng, an old opponent, he changed his previous problems and became fully focused.
Although Wiggins had tried his best, Zhang Zifeng still couldn't hold back Zhang Zifeng's explosion at home. He made 11 three-pointers and scored 51 points and 3 assists.
Leading the 76ers to a 91:88 victory over the Timberwolves, winning five consecutive victories.
The Timberwolves coach said with a wry smile in an interview with reporters after the game, "I knew Zhang Zifeng was one of the best shooting guards before the game. In order to win, we set up tactics against him before the game, but you also saw that, In the face of his fiery touch, all this is in vain!"
Brett Brown also commented, "Zhang Zifeng has always been the most important one in our team. He can score as long as he wants to score. He led the team to victory with offense, and such things will continue in the future!"
"USA Today" played against the Timberwolves today, Zhang Zifeng scored 51 points, 50+ in two consecutive games, proving that Zhang Zifeng's super scoring ability is not a flash in the pan.
During Zhang Zifeng's injury, the 76ers ushered in a 13-game losing streak. At that time, no matter how optimistic the 76ers fans were, they were desperate for the team's prospects.But in such a desperate situation, Zhang Zifeng's comeback gave the 76ers a shot in the arm. The 76ers team regained their fighting spirit, and the 76ers fans began to be full of hope again.Zhang Zifeng used his leadership style and super scoring ability to lead the 76ers to defeat strong teams one after another, winning 6 consecutive victories.Now the 76ers have overwhelmed the Knicks, rising from 15th in the Eastern Conference to 13th.Now the league is only one-third over. Following this trend, the 76ers still have a chance to advance to the playoffs.
Zhang Zifeng, one of the strongest shooting guards in the league, is the confidence that the 76ers rely on most.
On January 1, the 08ers continued to sit at home against the Eagles.
With Zhang Zifeng scoring 62 points, although he won respect, he also attracted the attention of the entire league.
Zhang Zifeng's defensive treatment is getting stronger and stronger now.
126-98, the 76ers lost, ending the winning streak.Zhang Zifeng alone accounted for about half of the team's shots, but his shooting percentage was not high. With Tim Hardaway and Sabo Sefolosha taking turns serving him, Zhang Zifeng made only 39 of 16 shots and scored 39 points.
On January 1, the 10ers faced the Raptors.
The 76ers got off to a good start at home. Zhang Zifeng scored 8 points and led the team to a 12-0 lead.
But then the situation of the 76ers took a turn for the worse, and Zhang Zifeng's hands suddenly became cold without any warning.
There was a bang bang sound, and the basket was almost smashed into a discus, but it was 9 for 0 shots.
On the other hand, the Raptors have indeed gradually entered the state. Lowry scored 4 points with shots and penalties, and DeRozan hit three-pointers one after another.
Taking advantage of Zhang Zifeng's poor shooting percentage, the Raptors took the opportunity to overtake the score.
In the last three seconds of the first quarter, Zhang Zifeng got rid of DeMar DeRozan and went into the penalty area for a layup. The ball rolled around the basket twice before finally slipping out.
Barkley jokingly said, "Hahaha, Zhang Zifeng should be at home today to stop the losing streak. Unfortunately, God is not on his side today. His hand feeling is very bad. He will slip out even on the layup!"
Reggie Miller also said, "For a shooter, poor hand feeling is the most painful thing. But every player encounters a situation like today, and the hand feels inexplicably cold. What Zhang Zifeng needs is to adjust as soon as possible, otherwise Continuing to shoot like this persistently, trying to get the touch back, will only drag the team down."
Yes, just like Barkley said, Zhang Zifeng desperately wanted to perform well in front of the home fans today, but unfortunately the weather was not good.
He didn't even hit the shot no matter what.
Because Zhang Zifeng wasted too many opportunities, so far, the 76ers were beaten by the Timberwolves at 12:26 in the first quarter of the home court, trailing by 14 points.
Damn, Zhang Zifeng finally knew today that Europe and the United States are not under the control of the Jade Emperor, and God obviously doesn't treat Lao Tzu, a yellow race, well!
It was really bewitched, except for scoring 8 points in the first few minutes, and then seven or eight minutes in a row, I didn't hit a single ball.
At the end of the first quarter, Brett Brown gave Zhang Zifeng a slight hint. "Jack, you don't feel good today. You should change your style of play. Pass the ball out and let the team's offense flow. I know you can do it, don't you?"
Zhang Zifeng heard the nod in agreement, but after the start of the second quarter, it was obvious that Zhang Zifeng did not listen to Brown's coach's opinion at all.
Zhang Zifeng will still stick to singles.
The Raptors' DeRozan grabbed a rebound after Zhang Zifeng's strike, and made a quick counterattack again, making a layup.
At 14:34, the point difference was widened to 20 points.
Brett Brown is very dissatisfied now, although he can be regarded as a rookie coach without much prestige.
Although he knows that Zhang Zifeng is now the heart of the 76ers.
In case Zhang Zifeng is really angered, the general will be at odds.
Brett Brown knew that from the boss to the general manager, he would definitely not stand by him, and he would definitely be the one who got lost.
But the clay figurines also have a third of anger.
Repeatedly disobeying orders and acting recklessly on his own.
If things go on like this, how the hell will I teach the 76ers? Anyone who will obey me in the future will obey Zhang Zifeng's orders. What do I need as the head coach?
If this continues, Lao Tzu's reputation will be completely ruined.A coach who can't even command the players, you still expect him to lead the team to victory!
For his coaching reputation, for the team, Brett. Brown called a timeout.
Brett Brown suppressed his anger and shouted to Zhang Zifeng, "Jack, you rest first after the game, let Stauskas play."
Zhang Zifeng heard that the coach asked himself to sit on the sidelines to rest when the team was behind.
Zhang Zifeng suddenly felt uncomfortable and said, "Coach, I can't rest. Now the team is behind and needs me!"
Brett Brown couldn't help but shouted, "It is because the team is behind that you are allowed to rest off the court. You reflect on me off the court!"
What?The team is behind, so I need to rest!
What do you mean, do you mean the team is behind because of me?
I am the poisonous bag of the team!
Reflect on what?I have nothing to reflect on.
I work hard on the court, but you just stay off the court.
Why do you ask me to reflect.
I just feel a little worse today.
As long as I find the touch for Lao Tzu, this point difference is not easy to smooth out.
When Zhang Zifeng was about to refute, Grant saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled Zhang Zifeng aside first.
Just when Zhang Zifeng was about to shake off Grant, Grant shouted in a low voice, "Jack, there are many reporters on the sidelines, don't make this a big deal!"
I looked at the group of reporters sitting under the basket, all holding cameras and staring at this side.Zhang Zifeng walked to the chair on the bench with restraint, and took the towel.
On the court, the situation where the 76ers were under pressure from their opponents has changed since Zhang Zifeng left the court.
After Zhang Zifeng left the field in the second quarter, the two teams started a confrontation. Kenan scored two three-pointers in a row, followed by McConnell and Covington. chased back.
At the end of the half, the 76ers were 47-56, only 9 points behind.
Sitting off the court, Zhang Zifeng looked very, very uncomfortable.
How could the team catch up without Lao Tzu?
How can this be?
I am the hope of the 76ers!It is the pillar of the 76ers!
How could Lao Tzu be a poisonous sac, something must have gone wrong.
It must be caused by the bad hand feeling. As long as I make those balls, such a thing will not happen.
Yes, there must be no goal to cause such a thing.As long as I score the ball, there will be no such thing.
Since Zhang Zifeng joined the NBA, except for that accidental ankle injury, everything has been going well.
Embiid was reimbursed for the season, and Zhang Zifeng was trained as the core of the team from the beginning.
In a group of young people, there are no old ruffians on top, Zhang Zifeng has been the leader of the team from the beginning.Did not receive any repression, or instructions to run errands.
As the team leader, Zhang Zifeng quickly won the recognition and love of the fans with his own fans.
Coupled with Zhang Zifeng's comeback, he led the troubled 76ers to regain hope, and pushed Zhang Zifeng's popularity and prestige to a new climax.
The support of the fans, the praise of the media, and more importantly... the rapid increase in money.
Zhang Zifeng signed a four-year, $76 million contract with the 2070ers.This contract does not give 5 million every year, but increases by 10% year by year during the contract period.
In the first year, Zhang Zifeng only had an annual salary of about 300 million.
Moreover, these annual salaries are not paid in one lump sum, but paid every half a month.
In addition, there is a 45% tax to be paid (tax calculation methods are different in different states in the United States). Although there are many contracts, Zhang Zifeng only gets a dozen or 20 a month.
Apart from mortgages and car loans, Zhang Zifeng is not very rich.
Until several endorsement fees went through a series of procedures such as tax declaration and payment, they were transferred to Zhang Zifeng's account one after another last month.
Zhang Zifeng's wealth suddenly increased and he became a multi-millionaire.
Whether a man has money or has no money is completely two thoughts and lives.
When a person becomes very rich, he will buy things that he didn't dare to buy before, enjoy things that he didn't dare to enjoy before, live a completely different life before, and even become very confident.
Just like what I didn't even dare to think about before, now without even frowning, I am so proud that I want to buy enough bags of all luxury brands and give them to Chen Wei for her birthday.
This sudden surge in wealth made Zhang Zifeng feel a little swollen and a little swayed.
Now Zhang Zifeng feels that he is very powerful and awesome, and he doesn't listen to other people's opinions.
At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Zifeng still didn't play.
76人队与猛龙队在第三节开始后你来我往，场上比分交替增加，洛里跳投命中，第三节还有5分35秒时猛龙队以73-58领先。76人队这之后掀起反扑，史密斯独得6分，他率队打出11-2的反击高潮结束第三节，76人队追至69-75。
Brett Brown also didn't want to mess with Zhang Zifeng, he thought Zhang Zifeng would wake up after the third quarter.So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brett Brown called Zhang Zifeng over and said, "Jack, you are the captain of the team, and you need to lead the team as a captain, OK?"
Zhang Zifeng nodded expressionlessly, but he was thinking in his heart that I must let this guy see that I can help the team win.
Zhang Zifeng scored 4 points in a row after the start of the fourth quarter, but soon Lowry responded with 6 points, and Patterson made a three-pointer.
Zhang Zifeng's going it alone caused the 76ers' offense to stagnate again, and the Raptors pulled their advantage back to double digits.
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng has no intention of repenting at all, Brett Brown has completely given up on Zhang Zifeng.In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Zhang Zifeng was replaced, and he never played again in this game.
Stauskas made a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and the 76ers played a wave of 8-0 spurts.
But Zhang Zifeng dug too big a hole, and the 15-point gap made the 76ers fight back at the last moment, but they were unable to make a comeback. In the end, they lost 95-104.
The 76ers lost, but the biggest news is that Zhang Zifeng, the number one star of the 76ers, only played 16 minutes in this game, and he didn't play a minute in the entire third quarter.And it was obvious during the game that Zhang Zifeng had conflicts with coach Brett Brown.
After the game, many reporters stopped Brett Brown and asked, "Mr. Brett, did you have a fierce conflict with Zhang Zifeng?"
Brett Brown immediately denied, "No, Jack and I have always had a very close relationship. It is nonsense that I have conflicts with him!"
"Then why did Zhang Zifeng only get 16 minutes of playing time in this game, and you put him on the bench throughout the third quarter?"
"Here, Jack is feeling unwell today. The so-called contradiction you see is that Jack sees the team lagging behind and strongly demands to play. But I think about his career, so I reduced his playing time!"
……
Although Brett Brown tried his best to deny the conflict with Zhang Zifeng, there were many players and staff members present.Their mouths were not so strict, especially some players who lost their position because of Zhang Zifeng broke the news.
On the same day, the "Washington News" published: According to insiders of the 76ers team, a fierce conflict broke out between Zhang Zifeng and coach Brett Brown during the game, and coach Brett Brown has entered the countdown.There are rumors that the general manager of the team intends to let assistant coach D'Antoni take over as the zero-hour coach.
"New York Daily News" also reported that since Zhang Zifeng received a high endorsement fee, he began to degenerate, busy shooting commercials, and often absent from the team's daily training for no reason.Zhang Zifeng's recent state is also officially caused by frequent nightclubs.This is also the root cause of the conflict between Zhang Zifeng and Brett Brown.
"Los Angeles Times": According to the relevant personnel of the 76ers team, because they are dissatisfied with Zhang Zifeng's style, the 76ers are selling the team's core Zhang Zifeng.
……
For a while, Zhang Zifeng was portrayed as a player who started to enjoy life, go to nightclubs after taking a high-paying contract, not thinking about making progress, and willing to degenerate.
January 1th is Chen Wei's birthday.
Although he has had an unpleasant fight with the head coach Brown these days, Zhang Zifeng still wants to make Chen Wei happy.
As night fell, Zhang Zifeng finished training early today and went home to make arrangements.
The villa is still being searched and is still in the original house.
Fill the bathtub with hot water and sprinkle a lot of flower petals.
In the hall, more than a dozen candles are lit, which not only allows people to see the room clearly, but also adds a bit of quiet atmosphere.
999 red roses are tied into a heart-shaped wreath. The porch is on the aisle facing the hall, so that Chen Wei can see it as soon as she enters the door.
On the sofa is a group of brand-name bags,
Hearing the sound of a car coming from outside the courtyard, Zhang Zifeng hastily put the lid on the box and put it in the inner pocket of his suit.
Run to the cloakroom, spritz some perfume in the air, and let yourself be bathed in it.
A few seconds later, Zhang Zifeng opened the door with a rose in his mouth.
With his head down, Zhang Zifeng leaned against the door.Then he gave a handsome smile and shook his head. "Ma'am, have you been..."
Fatty!Zheng Xinguo!
Zhang Zifeng raised his head and saw that Zheng Xinguo was standing at the door.
What a fool, the chic and charming look that I practiced so hard just now was wasted.
Zhang Zifeng immediately shouted at Zheng Xinguo angrily, "Fatty man, what are you doing here today?"
Zheng Xinguo said with embarrassment, "I didn't want to come!"
After he finished speaking, a voice sounded. "I sent him, didn't I?"
At this time, Chen Wei just took care of the car door, took out a piece of cake from the car and walked to the door.
Seeing Chen Wei, Zhang Zifeng immediately changed his face, "Why, today is your birthday, of course, Weiwei can let whoever she wants come!"
Zhang Zifeng hurried forward to take the cake from Chen Wei's hand, and bowed to invite her.
After Chen Wei handed the cake to Zhang Zifeng, she walked into the room.
Seeing Chen Wei enter the room, Zhang Zifeng got up and looked at Zheng Xinguo fiercely and said in a low voice, "Your sister, are you here to make trouble tonight?"
How could Zheng Xinguo not know that Zhang Zifeng wanted to spend a warm and romantic night with Chen Wei tonight, and he went to buy and order many of the things in this room.
Zheng Xinguo is neither crazy nor stupid, if he can.Even if he was killed, he would not bother Zhang Zifeng and the others tonight.
But he was forcibly invited by Chen Wei.
Zheng Xinguo didn't want to offend Zhang Zifeng, but he couldn't afford to offend Chen Wei either!
Chen Wei sent a message that she must come here, what can she do, what can she do!
Zheng Xinguo hurriedly explained, "I didn't want to come, it was Chen Wei who blocked me in the company and forced me to come. It seems that I have something to discuss with you. I was forced!"
Hearing Zheng Xinguo's explanation, Zhang Zifeng's face became a little better and he said, "You, a fat man, won't be so stupid to dare to ruin my good deeds. But Chen Wei has something important to say tonight?"
Zheng Xinguo shook his head and said, "I don't know, she didn't say anything. She just insisted on me coming, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet. Don't worry, as long as there is a chance, I will find a way to get out as soon as possible. It won't be bad You are doing well!"
Zhang Zifeng snorted and walked into the room with a smile on his face.
Walking into the room, seeing the heart-shaped rose wreath and the candles in the room, Chen Wei's tense face relaxed, and she nodded and said, "Feng, these cost a lot!"
Zhang Zifeng shook his head and said, "It won't cost much, the most important thing is that you are happy, Weiwei!"
Looking at the layout of the room, Zheng Xinguo was even more embarrassed, he didn't know what to do with the wine bottle in his hands.
It was Chen Wei who came over to help him out, took the wine bottle and put it on the table, just about to say to him: "Sit freely!"
Chen Wei saw all kinds of bags on the sofa! "
During this period of time, Chen Wei often let Zhang Zifeng accompany her to go shopping. Although she saw a lot, she basically didn't buy anything.
Although I didn't buy it, I learned a lot.These bags are famous brand, even many are limited edition.
Zhang Zifeng said proudly, "Weiwei, do you like it! Use the one you like. Now that your husband is rich, he can definitely support you!"
Chen Wei looked at those bags, then looked up at Zhang Zifeng, "I don't like it!"
Zhang Zifeng was taken aback when he heard that, don't you like it?
Here are all the bags of luxury brands on the market.Chen Wei didn't even like it?
Zhang Zifeng immediately reacted and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I will accompany you tomorrow, and you can buy whatever you like!"
Zheng Xinguo immediately said, "You don't have to wait for tomorrow. Whatever you like, I'll help you buy it now!"
After saying that, Zheng Xinguo wanted to run away.
"No need, Brother Zheng. Anyway, I'm not interested in those luxury goods!"
Chen Wei looked at Zhang Zifeng and said, "Feng, do you still remember your original dream, do you still remember our original agreement?"
