Chapter 29 Hey, French sports car, you are speeding
Playing against the Spurs is a very boring thing, and by boring I mean that basically no one talks.

Trash talk is a very common thing on the court. You can encounter it no matter which team you play against, but the Spurs are an exception.

Shi Fo, who has studied psychology, will just look at you expressionlessly and use cold violence against you even if you scold him in front of him.

Parker is also a gentle person who doesn't like to talk trash. The two team leaders didn't say anything, and the others also followed this team culture and played quietly.

The same is true for the Spurs. Although Zheng Yang is good at speaking, he also follows the principle of not offending others unless they offend me. Of course, except in key games when he wants to change the mentality of the opposing team, he will take the initiative to attack, otherwise he generally does not take the initiative to criticize others.

So this game was a bit boring.

But why is it that almost no one is talking? It’s because Ginobili is still talking, and this guy seems to be a chatterbox, always looking for Zheng Yang to chat.

"Hey man, that layup you just made was pretty good, can you teach me sometime?"

"What about the pass I just made? Didn't anyone expect me to pass it to Parker?"

"I'm telling you..."

Zheng Yang tried to reply with a few words at first, but later he couldn't reply at all, so he had to pretend he didn't hear anything.

Zheng Yang was also very curious, how could this guy manage to play basketball and talk freely at the same time?

He was clearly talking to you in the last second, but in the next second he was halfway through his words and directly grabbed the rebound and then continued with the half sentence he just said.

He kept nagging and nagging, and finally even the master of psychology Duncan couldn't stand it anymore.

He said irritably.

"Rookie, can you be quiet for a moment?"

The GDP relationship at that time was not very good. After all, when Ginobili first came, Duncan looked down on this skinny white man and thought that he would not be able to adapt to the confrontation in the NBA.

Ginobili secretly glanced at the Stone Buddha with a crooked mouth, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to shut up!
Without the talkative Ginobili, the game was more dull, but the dull atmosphere did not affect the excitement of the game. Both sides tried their best to win.

At the end of the first half, the Mavericks led by two points, 40:42.

Nash was panting in the locker room, and he almost died on the court after the first half.

Is that Parker a fucking sprinter?
He could actually run so fast all of a sudden. At first he could barely keep up, but his two legs were shaking at the back and he couldn't even breathe in his exhaust fumes.

He pinched the muscles of his thighs and sighed helplessly.

At this moment, old Nelson called Zheng Yang aside. He had just noticed Nash's situation. Parker scored 18 points on him in the first half. If it weren't for the poor touch of other players, the gap between the two teams would have been widened by now.

But it is impossible for them to have a bad touch forever. Once the Spurs get accurate in the second half, today's game will be difficult.

So old Nelson had to change his formation.

He couldn't possibly substitute Nash, because he was the engine of the team and he had to rely on him to organize the team's offense.

Then someone else will have to defend Parker.

Who is suitable?

Among the five starting players, only Zheng Yang has the best chance.

"Zheng, I need you to defend Parker in the second half. Tell me, can you do it?"

Old Nelson looked at Zheng Yang. This young man has always played a very important role in the team, and now the team needs him to take on more responsibilities.

"Of course coach, I will completely restrict him."

Zheng Yang smiled confidently. Although Parker is fast, he is not slow either. He will know whether he can defend after he tries on the court.

Old Nelson smiled and rubbed the back of his head. The more he looked at this rookie, the more he liked him.

Convincing Cuban to trade him was the smartest decision he ever made.

The second half of the game started quickly. When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, everyone noticed that the person standing in front of Parker had changed. It was no longer Nash, but Zheng Yang.

At this moment, Ernie Johnson, the host in the TNT studio, exclaimed.

"Zheng? Old Nelson changed the defensive strategy. They let Zheng defend the French sports car and let a No. 3 defend the No. 1. I think this is a rare situation!
What do you think, Clyde?"

Ernie Johnson is TNT's ace host, so it is normal for him to be the host of today's nationally broadcast cowboy battle.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. He was today's special guest - "Glider" Drexler.

The TNT studio often invites retired NBA stars to be special guests, and Glider is today's special guest.

If you don't know about gliders, maybe you've heard this quote from Jordan.

"If you compare me to him, I feel offended."

The "he" Jordan refers to here is the glider!

Hearing Ernie Johnson's question, the glider shook his head and said.

"I feel like this would be a wrong decision, Parker is very fast, even among guards he is top of the line.

Put a rookie 3 guard on him and he'll get dribbled past."

While the glider was answering the question, Parker over there was already preparing for the attack.

But when Zheng Yang appeared in front of him, he was also a little stunned, and then he understood Nelson's intention. Knowing that their guards can't defend me, do you want to use a small forward to defend me?

Old Nelson is really old and made such a stupid decision!

Parker decided to teach the young man a lesson.

He didn't make too many fake moves, but suddenly accelerated to the right. The sound of the wind passing by his ears was like the sound of an engine starting.

The super high horsepower engine, a specialty of France, is about to start again!

Parker's intention to break through was not hidden. After Zheng Yang reacted, he followed easily.

He knew that his opponent was fast, so he always kept half a step away from him. If he chose to shoot, with his height and arm span, he could easily interfere with him.

So Parker, who was about to step on the accelerator, was stopped by Zheng Yang at the free throw line.

Sorry, French sports car, you're speeding!

Tony Parker was surprised and then found himself in a dead ball situation. Nash on the side quickly double-teamed him. Parker made a mistake in passing the ball and Zheng Yang easily made a dunk.

When old Nelson on the court saw this scene, he jumped up excitedly and shouted to the assistant coach next to him.

"Damn it, what did I say at that time? We must get Zheng. He is so important. He doesn't play like a rookie at all!"

The teaching assistant nodded quickly, thinking to himself, why are you telling me this? It’s not me who forbids you from choosing. Go talk to the management and the boss!
In the TNT studio, Ernie Johnson saw Zheng Yang's performance in this round and shouted excitedly.

"Hey Clyde, he blocked it. Zheng Chenggong blocked Parker! This French sports car completely failed in front of him!"

Glider was also surprised, and he felt that he should take a closer look at this rookie.

In fact, we have heard a lot of news about him before, including his 100 million endorsements, his verbal battles with LeBron and Anthony in the media, etc.

But for the Glider, this is just a young man who can attract attention. He is nothing special. If he were not in this four-star Mavericks team, few people would know him.

But now he has begun to improve. When the head coach made a temporary change in the lineup, he was able to successfully defend Tony Parker at the No. 1 position at the three position. This ability is quite remarkable.

And the Glider did not forget his outstanding performance on the offensive end in the first half. Even though he was surrounded by three All-Star-level scorers in Nowitzki, Walker and Finley, his offensive performance was still very eye-catching.

His breakthroughs are sharp, his counterattacks and fast breaks are fast, and he can play with or without the ball.

This young man is really extraordinary!

Glider is not the kind of person who is stubborn. Even though he was just "slapped in the face" by Zheng Yang, he still smiled and nodded.

“It seems that I am really old, haha!
I mean, this guy is really good, at least among the rookies I've seen this year, he's the best one."

Ernie Johnson's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

"Clyde, are you saying he's better than LeBron and Cameron?"

Glider immediately realized that the other party was trying to stir up trouble. No matter what he said, this sentence would make headlines in major media tomorrow.

But the glider still smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I do mean that.

In the game against the Cavaliers, I think the gap between him and LeBron was already very obvious.

As for Cameron? To be honest, I think he still doesn't perform as well as Zheng. Of course, I am still looking forward to their game in December. Maybe that game will change my judgment. "

Glider knew this remark would be used as a stunt, but he didn't care.

Who is the glider?

There is no need to mention any honors. Just one thing is that he was one of the few players who could compete head-on with Jordan back then, although the final result was that he was beaten by Jordan.

But at least he was once hung up and beaten by Jordan!
Others who want this kind of treatment don't have it yet.

As a historical superstar, does he need to worry about the impact of his comments on a few rookies?

joke!

Ernie Johnson smiled and nodded. The news material for tomorrow was ready!
While the TNT studio was talking about things off the court, Parker had already launched another attack on the court.

He still couldn't believe that his speed wasn't enough to surpass this rookie.

This time he changed direction and once again stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

If it was Zheng Yang before the summer vacation, he might have been passed in one step.

But during the summer vacation he specifically trained his footwork, and the games during this period allowed him to rapidly increase his defensive experience.

He is at an age where his basketball skills are improving, and with the intense training in the NBA, he once again forced the French sports car to stop.

Beep, Tony Parker, you're speeding!

　Thank you all for your support of monthly tickets. Actually, the monthly tickets I receive now are not of much use to me, but I still feel very touched when I see people voting, and I feel that my work is liked by everyone.

　　This is my second sports book. The first one was not very good and I only wrote 70,000 words. So due to lack of experience, this book still has many flaws.

　　I will study hard and write well, and when I play against the Lakers next time, I will definitely be full of energy and passion.
