Chapter 117 Zheng Yang is the God of the Knicks!
The final score of the game was 130:98, with the Knicks winning by 32 points.

Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson remained silent since the fourth quarter, his face becoming increasingly darker as the fans cursed at him.

Everything that happened today was beyond his expectations. He no longer knew how to solve the current dilemma and could only let his bad mood continue to ferment.

But maybe he should consider how to win back the hearts of Dallas fans!

Given the current public pressure and today's crushing defeat, it is only a matter of time before he is fired!

……

After the game, the Knicks players were very excited. They only won 23 games last season, but who would have thought that they would have a good start in the first game of this season against the Western powerhouse Mavericks!

This has a significant boost to the morale of the entire team.

They had smiles on their faces and were already discussing how to celebrate when they returned to New York.

Zheng Yang, the team's biggest contributor who scored 42 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in this game, sat in a chair with a slight smile on his face. Compared to others, he seemed much calmer.

After all, a big win over the Mavericks can only make him feel better, but his goal this season is to win the championship.

We just won a regular season game, so there's no need to get too excited.

The post-match interview was conducted by the beautiful lady Irene Angelus, who appeared in front of Zheng Yang in sexy clothes with a smile on her face.

In today's game, she once again witnessed the magic of this man. She has been paying attention to this young man since the first day he entered the league. It can be said that she has seen every progress of Zheng Yang.

It was precisely because of this that she felt the horror of this guy even more, because his progress was so fast.

This is only his fourth season, but he has already stood at the top of the league, standing tall among the rest.

Genius is the admission ticket to this league, but Zheng Yang is the real genius in this league!
No one doubted this, neither his friends nor his opponents.

“It’s great to see you put in another great performance, Zheng!

This is your first game since joining the Knicks, and your first game is against your old team. How do you feel?

I mean, before the game or during the game, is there anything that goes through your mind?"

Zheng Yang cleared his throat, adjusted himself, and then answered.

"To be honest, I feel a little confused now. On the one hand, I am very familiar with this place. I played here for three years and spent three special years in my life.

On the other hand, I have to keep reminding myself that I have been traded by this team.

These two emotions make my heart very complicated. I don’t know what to say, but I just want to say that I am especially grateful to the fans of Dallas. My love for them is nothing else, you know what I mean.

I'm very grateful to them for always supporting me and for always accepting me no matter how I perform. It's a pity that I can't play for them anymore, but I'm very grateful to them in my heart."

"Did you expect to win the first game by 32 points?
Before the game started, did you think you could perform like this?"

“To be honest, I was still a little surprised. After all, 32 points is not a score that can be easily achieved. I have won many games in the past, but I have rarely won a game with such a big difference in points.

However, the team's victory was within our expectations, because our strength has reached a very high level in the league. Maybe some people will not agree with me, but I think we are already at the level of competing for the championship.

Our goal this season is to win the championship! Many people in our team have never tasted the taste of championship, we want to try to win a championship. "

"Are you saying that your goal this season is to win the championship? Sorry, I don't mean to look down on you, but this sounds really surprising, after all, your team was the bottom team in the Eastern Conference last season."

Irene Angelus said with a bewildered look on her face. Anyone who listened to Zheng Yang's words would be confused.

Although their strength is indeed good judging from this game, this is only the first game of the season and they have not met other opponents or encountered other difficulties.

Do they dare to think about winning the championship at this time?
Irene Angelus felt like her worldview was somewhat shattered.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset and continued asking.

"Your team has made a lot of adjustments this season. Do you feel satisfied with the current situation of the team?"

"Our players, staff, coaches and assistant coaches all performed very well, they worked well together and gave their all for our team.

I am proud of them, and I believe we will get the best results to prove that their efforts are not in vain..."

After the interview, Zheng Yang said goodbye to Irene Angelus!

……

The next day, all sports newspapers were reporting on yesterday's game. Of course, the focus was not entirely on the game itself. Part of the focus was on the criticism of Avery Johnson, and the other part was on the content of Zheng Yang's post-match interview.

"Yesterday's game between the Knicks and the Mavericks was beyond everyone's expectations. The Knicks, who were not favored before the game, eventually won by 32 points, forcing Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson to call it a day in the last 6 minutes of the fourth quarter.

No one would have thought that this tragedy would happen...

During the game, fans at the American Airlines Center shouted "Fuck Avery" toward the Mavericks bench...

It can be seen that the fans of this city have felt extremely disgusted with the young bishop. They hope that their old Nelson can come back, but now this is impossible.

Because during the offseason, Nelson Sr. has become the new head coach of the Golden State Warriors!
We don't know when Avery Johnson will step down, but apparently now the question has changed from if Avery Johnson will step down to when, it's now a matter of when!

Unless he can lead the Mavericks to a championship this season...

Well... this joke is obviously not funny!

As for the post-match interview, Zheng Yang shouted the slogan of winning the championship. Of course, I don’t think they can achieve this goal this season.

After all, there are other teams in the league that are better than them, and their chances of winning the championship are slim.

But if they can maintain their current form and continue to trade for reinforcements, I think they will eventually achieve this goal.

After all, Zheng Yang is still very young. With him, a team will have ten or even fifteen more years of hope. Let us continue to look forward to Zheng's performance. I think he will be the strongest contender for MVP this year." - Excerpted from "Sports Daily" "When will the Mavericks coach be fired? Zheng's post-game remarks?"

When Zheng Yang saw the title of this article, his first thought was that this guy is such a clickbait. With just this title, who wouldn’t open the article and read it?
But I don’t care that much about the comments inside. After all, the championship is not won by words, but by fighting.

As long as they play well in the next games, others will naturally start to pay attention to them.

Zheng Yang didn't care much about this report, but James from Cleveland read it carefully.

They also had a game yesterday, so he didn't have time to watch Zheng Yang's game. After the game, he learned that the Knicks had defeated the Mavericks, which shocked James.

Although no one in the league compares Zheng Yang with James anymore, after all, the latter now crushes James in terms of personal honors and championships.

Who would dare to compare him with Zheng Yang?

But James has been secretly competing with the opponent in his heart. He originally thought that since the opponent came to the Knicks, a bottom-ranked team, it would take a few years to settle down.

James can take advantage of this opportunity to bully others and get revenge.

Who would have thought that the Knicks team is so strong now and actually won by 32 points against the Mavericks. This made James feel incredible, so he paid so much attention to the reports about this game.

"So what? I will definitely prove myself and I will definitely take back what belongs to me."

James clenched his fists and looked determined.

……

The Knicks' big win over the Mavericks did cause a lot of hype, but this hype did not last long because the game was going on every day and this hype would soon be drowned out by other new news.

After playing against the Mavericks, the Knicks faced the Hawks, Pacers, Bulls, Supersonics, and Clippers!

Obviously, the Knicks have a good schedule in the early stages, and the teams they face are at best teams on the edge of the playoffs.

And they lived up to expectations and successfully won six consecutive victories.

Among them, Zheng Yang performed very well. Against the Hawks, he scored 38 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. His points and rebounds were the highest in the game.

The away fans were directly persuaded to turn against their team and started shouting Zheng Yang's name.

Anyway, we are all here to watch the game, so it doesn’t matter who we support.
When playing against the Pacers, Zheng Yang continued to perform bravely, scoring 33 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists again. In this game, he made 13 of 2 three-pointers and directly broke the opponent's fantasy of catching up with points with a : wave.

Zheng Yang scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists against the Bulls, which was naturally a decline compared to the previous three games, but this was not because Zheng Yang was in bad shape, but because Eddy Curry and Crawford had a good touch today, so Zheng Yang reduced his shots and gave them many scoring opportunities.

Zheng Yang is not a fool. He knows that if you let others work hard, you have to give them some benefits. When they are in good shape, giving them the stage is the biggest benefit.

Eddy Curry, who scored 25 points in the game, patted Zheng Yang on the shoulder and vowed after the game.

"Zheng, we will definitely win the championship. I will continue to lose weight and ensure the team's rim protection."

Zheng Yang's performance was still very good when playing against the Supersonics. They played very tensely in this game and the outcome was decided only at the last moment.

Zheng Yang, who scored all the points for the team in the last three minutes, used his performance to tell his opponents why he was the scoring champion in the 04-05 season!

After the game, Ray Allen, who scored 30 points in this game, expressed his helplessness to Zheng Yang.

"I really thought I was playing with an alien. How the hell did you manage to score again and again with three people defending you?"

"Maybe you can try to jump up, and then wait until everyone else lands before shooting. That way your chances of success should be higher."

Zheng Yang smiled and made a joke.

Against the Clippers, Zheng Yang still scored 30 points. Perhaps it was because his desire to score was suppressed for too long last season, and this season Zheng Yang truly became a scoring machine.

Unless the shooting space is extremely poor, he will choose to shoot himself.

When Larry Brown saw this situation, he wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zheng Yang, but when he found that his shooting percentage was even higher than that of some people in open positions, he just shut up.

When coaching a star like Zheng Yang, you must give him enough freedom to let him fully display his talents.

Larry Brown understands this, so he won't be like that fool from the Mavericks and get into conflict with the other side.

When Zheng Yang was performing on the court, God knows what the mentality of the Clippers fans below was.

It seems that everyone in the league has forgotten that Zheng Yang was originally selected by the Clippers and then traded to the Mavericks!
In countless late nights that followed, Clippers fans regretted this decision. Damn it, they actually let a superstar who was right at their fingertips slip away!
Who would believe this?
And it seems like no one in the entire league remembers this. Everyone thought that the Mavericks selected the opponent, but the first team to have Zheng Yang was their Clippers!

Clippers fans want to cry...Does their presence have to be so low?

A six-game winning streak has filled the entire Knicks team with laughter, especially the team's general manager, the Smiling Assassin. During this period, no matter who he meets, he is smiling and the first sentence he says is.

"How do you know that I was the one who traded Zheng?

Well, it’s nothing, there were 28 competitors and I just happened to stand out.

It's really nothing!
But I remember someone saying that I don’t have good professional skills? Who said that? I forgot a little bit, can you remind me? "

The Smiling Assassin finally felt that his career as a general manager had seen the light of day!

Damn, some time ago he was still worried about whether his current job would be secure. After all, it seemed that he had signed too many crappy contracts. Who would have thought that in just a few months, the media's reputation would completely change.

The New York media, which had criticized him some time ago, now want to give the Smiling Assassin a "Best Team General Manager Award" to praise him for trading Zheng Yang.

This guy really found a strong man who can save the Knicks!

Zheng Yang is the god of the Knicks!
