Chapter 166 Against the Hornets
When Zhang Zifeng got off the bus, a dozen black-haired and yellow-skinned reporters immediately surrounded him and asked questions in familiar Chinese.
"Mr. Zhang Zifeng, what do you think of this game?"
"Zhang Zifeng, will you face Jeremy Lin in this match?"
"Zhang Zifeng, do you think this will be a stage where you and Jeremy Lin will go head-to-head? What do you think of the contest with Jeremy Lin?"
"Zhang Zifeng, do you think you will win this match? Whoever you think has a better chance of winning this match!"
……
What these reporters focused on was to know from Zhang Zifeng what he thought of Jeremy Lin and the comparison between him and Jeremy Lin.
Counting the NCAA, Zhang Zifeng has been exercising in front of the media for more than two years, and he already knows how to deal with these guys.
Zhang Zifeng stopped and said with a smile, "Jeremy Lin is a good player. I am very happy to have the opportunity to compete with him. But today's game is a contest between two teams, not between the two of us." I'm sorry, I still have to warm up, so I won't say much. Fans are welcome to pay attention to this game!"
Zhang Zifeng walked into the locker room, changed his clothes and was ready to go out.
The Time Warner Center Arena, which usually has an average attendance rate, is extremely popular today.
Because there was a contest between two Chinese, a large number of Chinese fans came from all over to watch the game.
Around the arena, there are many Chinese wearing Zhang Zifeng's No. 14 jersey, holding a sign with Zhang Zifeng's head in their hands.
At this moment, the players of the two teams were about to play.
The Hornets' home court will naturally not give good treatment to the visiting team. When Zhang Zifeng ran out of the arena amidst the sound of the DJ's introduction.
Although the DJ's voice was very weak and there were huge boos, there was a burst of shouting at the scene amidst the boos.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng walk out of the field, there was an overwhelming cheer in the arena.
Now, Zhang Zifeng is already a hero in the hearts of Chinese Americans. He has made Americans re-understand the Chinese and realize the abilities of the yellow race.
The fans of the Hornets were dissatisfied when they heard that there were still people cheering for Zhang Zifeng at their home court.
There are such shouts in their home court, it is simply slapping them in the face, it is unforgivable!
There was a louder booing from them.
Although tens of thousands of Hornets fans were shouting, they wanted to overwhelm Zhang Zifeng's fans.
But when they came to the arena, there were nearly 4000 Chinese fans, and the Hornets fans couldn't suppress their voices.
Standing on the arena, listening to the boos of the Hornets fans, cheering for myself desperately.
Zhang Zifeng was very moved.
When it was the Hornets' turn to play, Jeremy Lin was the first to run off the court.
To be honest, Zhang Zifeng doesn't like Jeremy Lin.
This guy grew up in the United States and has American citizenship.
In May 2012, Jeremy Lin was selected into the US men's basketball selection team to participate in the 5 London Olympics for the US national men's basketball team to practice with, but later withdrew due to strength issues.
It can be said that this guy is a banana man and has nothing to do with China.
But it is undeniable that Jeremy Lin proved to the United States that yellow guards can also gain a foothold in the NBA and play the main force.
Also because of Jeremy Lin's previous example, NBA club managers will have less worries about whether Zhang Zifeng can gain a foothold in the NBA, and they will use high picks to bet.
Based on this, during the warm-up, Zhang Zifeng took the initiative to talk to Jeremy Lin.Jeremy Lin's Chinese is not good, and the two communicate in English.
Zhang Zifeng doesn't like Jeremy Lin. In the past, he just chatted politely and then came back to warm up.
The posters of Zhang Zifeng and Jeremy Lin are being reflected on the background board of CCTV's live broadcast hall. Yu Jia, Yang Jian, and Xu Jiji are sitting in the studio.
Yu Jia took the lead and said: "Welcome everyone to watch the NBA live broadcast brought by CCTV5. Today, the Hornets are playing at home against the 76ers. Compared with the contest between the two teams, I believe that the majority of Huaxia fans are more concerned about this." A confrontation between Zhang Zifeng and Jeremy Lin. Teacher Yang, do you think there will be many direct confrontations between them in this match?"
Yang Jian said, "During the beginning of the 76ers team, Zhang Zifeng also served as a point guard for a period of time, but in order to liberate Zhang Zifeng's scoring ability, the 76ers promoted Cornell, who mainly focuses on assists, to the main force. Let Zhang Zifeng return to the shooting guard. Jeremy Lin is the opposite. The main point guard of the Hornets is Kemba Walker, and Jeremy Lin is forced to move to the shooting guard. In terms of position, the two will have many confrontations in this game situation!"
"Then Teacher Yang, if these two match up, who has the advantage, or who can play better?"
Yang Jian thought for a while and said, "Jeremy Lin is 1 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms. No matter in terms of height or weight, Jeremy Lin does not have an advantage in the position of shooting guard. I am more optimistic about Zhang Zifeng's performance in this game!"
Xu Jiji also said: "Although Jeremy Lin possesses the athletic ability and agility of an NBA-level point guard, his shooting is not stable, coupled with his defensive shortcomings, he could not compete with Beverly when he was in the Rockets. Zhang Zifeng At the beginning of the NCAA, he was known for his precise shooting. In the past few years, he has strengthened his physical confrontation. On the defensive end, he has put a lot of pressure on the opposing players by relying on active running and close body like ointment. Although this season is only Zhang Zifeng's first season, but I think Jeremy Lin should ask Zhang Zifeng more about how to improve his shooting percentage!"
"It seems that both of them are more optimistic about Zhang Zifeng. The match is about to start, let us witness the exciting match between Zhang Zifeng and Jeremy Lin!"
The game is about to start, and the 76ers' starting lineup is: McConaughey, Zhang Zifeng, Grant, Holmley, Noll.
Hornets starting lineup: Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lin, Nicolas Batum, Marvin Williams, Al Jefferson
The 2.08 Al Jefferson was placed at the center position, and the Hornets' lineup can be said to be a small lineup.
The whistle sounded and the referee threw the basketball high.
Noll overwhelmed Jefferson with his height advantage and slapped the ball to the backcourt.
Zhang Zifeng jumped up to grab the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
Outside the three-point line, Zhang Zifeng was facing Jeremy Lin.
Seeing that the two are going to have a duel at the beginning of the game, the fans are excited.
"Oh, in this first round, the two of them are facing each other. Who will win?" Yu Jia said.
Yang Jian said: "Jeremy Lin's defense has always been his shortcoming. I don't think Jeremy Lin can defend Zhang Zifeng."
Xu Jiji nodded and said, "Yes, Jeremy Lin's defense has always been bad. Zhang Zifeng has proved his scoring ability in previous games. Maybe this game is more about whether Zhang Zifeng can restrain Jeremy Lin!"
Both commentators are obviously inclined that Zhang Zifeng's performance will be better than Jeremy Lin's, and the contest between the two players on the court is about to start.
Zhang Zifeng looked at Jeremy Lin's position with the ball, and pushed the ball diagonally.
Just when Jeremy Lin was about to catch up with his skating steps, Zhang Zifeng's breakthrough body suddenly stopped, and he changed direction quickly, a beautiful change of direction.
Zhang Zifeng has just passed Jeremy Lin and has a tendency to take off.
He's going to pull up a jumper?Jeremy Lin quickly turned around and jumped up to block the shot.
Seeing Jeremy Lin jumping up, Zhang Zifeng sank and accelerated into the penalty area.
Seeing Jeremy Lin shake easily, Hornets coach Steve Clifford shook his head.
After easily dodging Jeremy Lin, Zhang Zifeng faced Jefferson's defensive defense, jumped high, lifted the basketball like lightning, and shot it quickly.
The basketball arced over Jefferson's head and fell towards the hoop.
"Shua!" The goal was scored!
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng scored, the Zhang Zifeng fans on the sidelines immediately shouted excitedly.
"Beautiful fake move, Zhang Zifeng got rid of Jeremy Lin's defense and made a layup!" Yu Jia happily explained.
Although the narrator should be fair, this sentence is basically just talking.After all, people are not grass and trees, how can they have no selfishness.
If there were no Chinese in the NBA before, Jeremy Lin, who is also of the yellow race, would have nothing to do.
But now Zhang Zifeng is a Chinese with a strong root. Compared with banana people, Yu Jia and the others are of course more inclined to Zhang Zifeng.
When Zhang Zifeng ran back, he waved to the fans who supported him.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng's back, Jeremy Lin felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, these Chinese people supported themselves, but now they all support this guy.
Jeremy Lin felt very unhappy, especially since it was still at his home court.
I must return him one to prove that my strength is not inferior to his, but I am not as lucky as him, and entered a team suitable for his performance from the beginning!
I hope that the national football team can win more than 3:0 tonight, and don't let the fans who have always supported him feel sad again!
