Chapter 37 What else can I think? (Subscribe)
The carnival of victory lasted for five minutes. The players surrounded Zheng Yang and shouted wildly, while the fans in the stands did not rush to leave and continued to shout "MVP" to celebrate!
How can we not celebrate it?
He is the rookie of their team, the future of their team!
His playing style is so gorgeous, his offense is so sharp, his dunks are so brutal...

There is no one who doesn't like watching him play, unless he doesn't like basketball!
After the carnival ended, old Nelson also walked up to Zheng Yang.

"Well done! You too!"

The second half of his sentence was directed to Nash Dachou and others.

"The credit also goes to you, coach!"

Zheng Yang was not so arrogant as to be lawless, so he praised with a smile.

Old Nelson smiled and shook his head. He was not a man who liked to take credit for things.

"No, this is your credit. I was ready to give up this game, but you gave us one more victory.

As a reward...well, how about practicing for two more hours tomorrow?
Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I'll give you a day off tomorrow so you can have a good rest.

Haha, get ready, Craig is waiting for you over there, I'm sure he has a lot of questions to ask our hero tonight, you can rest for a while, I'll let him know. "

Zheng Yang smiled and nodded, then prepared to hug several Lakers players after the game, but when he turned around, Payton and O'Neal were no longer on the court.

On the sidelines closest to the player tunnel, there were two chairs lying on their sides, one kicked by the Big Shark and the other kicked by Payton.

Oh no, there's a third one now, and it was kicked by Kobe.

He was very upset and frustrated that he didn't make the three-pointer.

He should have made that three-pointer!
But he will never regret it. No matter how many times he has to do it again, he will choose to make the final attack.

This is his paranoia!
When chatting with Ma Long, he seemed to be inexplicably sad.

"It's really unlucky to meet you. In the last game, you defeated us with a buzzer beater, and in this game, you defeated us with a bunch of rookies.

Oh no, I almost forgot that you are just a rookie. There is nothing I can do about it. You are so mature on the court.

I think I'm really old and can't keep up with you guys on the court."

As I said, Ma Long is really old, Zheng Yang is the youngest player on the court, and he is the oldest player on the court.

He was previously called the Mailman because he only missed 19 regular season games in his 10 seasons with the Jazz, but this year, he has felt a lot more powerless and always felt that something was wrong with him.

In the original history, he did suffer an injury at the end of December and missed half of the season.

Zheng Yang patted Ma Long's arm, which was bigger than his head, and said with a smile.

"I have to write a lot of letters recently, and I need a postman to help me, hahaha."

Although he once said trash talk like "the postman is going to be unemployed" on the court, that was on the basketball court and he would not bring things on the court to deal with them off the court.

"Haha."

Ma Long understood what he meant, and he smiled and gave his blessings.

"Play well! Believe me, you will definitely win the championship!

And more than one!"

……

At this moment, the TNT studio has turned into a sea of ​​Barkley's saliva.

"Dear Mr. Kenny Smith, who knows basketball best and is the best at playing it, please repeat what you said before and tell us who you think is the winner today.
If I remember correctly, you said the Mavericks would definitely lose to the Lakers, right?

Oh yeah, I guess I can understand why you think Zheng will lose to the Lakers.

Because in your eyes, the best rookie is someone at James' level, and he definitely can't beat the Lakers at his level, so you have a misunderstanding."

"but……"

Barkley suddenly changed his sarcastic tone and spoke in a much firmer tone.

“Zheng Ke is much better than James, he can play 46 minutes, make 32 of 18 shots, 12 of 12 free throws, and score 53 points.

He also grabbed 13 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals, and had 0 turnovers.

He can also stand up at critical moments and help the team equalize the score.

I think we really shouldn't discuss who is the best rookie. I think we should compare Zheng Yang with the All-Star superstars in the league instead of competing with a bunch of rookies for the best rookie!

This is disrespectful to Zheng, extremely disrespectful to him.”

Barkley spoke very seriously and his tone was so excited that his saliva was flying. If you didn't know, you would think he was giving a speech.

Kenny Smith, who was sprayed by him, wiped the saliva from his face and regretted it deeply.

Why wasn’t I the one who got the role of Zheng Chui?

If I got the role of "Zheng Chui", I would be the one spitting now!
This dead pig was lucky enough to catch his breath. He has been spraying for so long and it’s still not over!

I was right just now. Who the hell could have thought that a group of rookies could defeat the Lakers with a complete lineup?
……

After drinking some water to regain his strength, Zheng Yang came to the sidelines where Craig Sagg, in a flowered suit, had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey Zheng, are you okay? You're exhausted today!"

Craig Sager asked with a smile, and Zheng Yang nodded.

“Yes I’m fine now, but I have to have a good sleep after taking a shower later, you know, I only rested for 2 minutes today, I almost played the whole game.

My legs are almost broken haha."

Zheng Yang spoke with a bit of pride, and yes, he should be proud of being able to play for 46 minutes in such a high-intensity game.

Otherwise, what should the old guys in the league do?
"You should ask old Nelson for leave. He will approve it. You are his baby now, haha.

Then Zheng, let’s start the interview!

Can you tell me what motivated you to play today's game? It can be seen that today, whether on the court or on the sidelines, you are more excited than before. "

"Yes, today I wanted to win this game very much. Because too many people said we would lose. To be honest, I don't like this feeling. No matter who the opponent is or how big the gap between us is, I don't like people telling me, 'Zheng, it's okay, it's normal to lose to them.'

That sounds weird, and that's not what I came to the NBA to be told.

That’s why I wanted to win this game so hard, I wanted to prove to everyone that no matter who the opponent is, we have a chance to win.”

"Zheng, today you faced four Hall of Fame players and scored a career-high 53 points. How big do you think the gap is between you and them?"

"They're all very good players, you know, they're going to be in the Hall of Fame.

Although they lost to us today, I still feel that there is a big gap between me and them. As for today's game, you know, I was in very good shape today. This may be the best game since I entered the league.

And with God on our side, we were able to achieve victory.”

Zheng Yang still pays great attention to shaping his image in front of the media. There are some things he cannot back down from, like he said before that he would deal with James and Anthony. That doesn’t matter, they are all rookies.

But the Lakers players are all well-established superstars, and if he appears disdainful off the court, it would easily disgust the fans.

So he behaved modestly.

In addition, he still has a certain gap between himself and players of Kobe's level. Although his progress is very fast, these gaps cannot be made up in a day or two.

He did have a good touch today, otherwise it would have been difficult to win the game.

"One last question. Can you tell me what you want to say to Cameron right now? I remember your game is coming up soon."

“I remember the night of the 23rd very clearly.

I don't have much to say, but I think some meaningless disputes will end after that game.

You know what I’m talking about.”

"Okay, thank you Zheng."

Craig Sager nodded and was about to finish his work, but was stopped by Zheng Yang.

"Mr. Craig, several of my teammates played very well in today's game. I would like them to come and say hello to the fans, is that ok?"

Zheng Yang suggested. Craig Sager was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Zheng Yang quickly turned around and shouted to Da Chou and the others.

"Josh, Marquis, Steve, Sean, come here."

The guys walked over with confused looks on their faces. Wasn't Zheng Yang going to be interviewed? Why did he call us over?

Zheng Yang pushed the people who were walking towards him and then pointed at them and spoke.

"This is Josh, this is Marquis, this is Sean, this... I think you all know him, he's Walker, just kidding, he's Steve.

I told them during the timeout that as long as we win the game today, the fans will remember their names tomorrow. After all, as you all know, our opponents are very good, and it is really not easy to beat them.

So I hope everyone will remember them.”

Except for Nash who is an All-Star and a little famous, the rest are not very famous.

The Mavericks are not like the Lakers. They don't have that much traffic, and the fans only pay attention to a few big players in the team.

Therefore, Zheng Yang called them over in the hope that they could become more well-known and remembered by the fans.

Those who understood Zheng Yang's thoughts were all touched. Nash was fine, after all, he was already an All-Star, he just came to join in the fun.

But Da Chou and his friends were about to cry. As players of the Mavericks, few people recognized them when they walked outside during their time living in Dallas. They truly had no fame at all.

Zheng Yang's action made them want to say "The cloth has been drifting for half a lifetime..."

Nowitzki: So?

"Yes, I think the fans will definitely remember you. After all, you were so outstanding today. I think I will think of this game as soon as I close my eyes tonight."

Craig Sagg has a high emotional intelligence and said some flattering words at this moment. As the interview ended, Zheng Yang and others returned to the locker room to celebrate!
At this moment, thousands of miles away in the Denver Plateau, Carmelo Anthony was also in a good mood and was being interviewed after the game.

In the game against the Grizzlies that just ended, he performed well and scored 35 points. He was very inflated at the moment.

What Zheng Yang? He's just a rookie who relies on the help of his teammates. Today he's missing three All-Star teammates. How can he still score the winning goal against the Lakers?

The game should be over now. We probably lost by 20 or 30 points, haha!
Carmelo Anthony's joy didn't last long. His smile came to an abrupt end after he received a call from a colleague on the sidelines.

"What? You said the Mavericks won? Zheng scored 53 points and 13 rebounds?"

"No, this joke is not funny. You know, today is not April Fools' Day."

"Are you kidding me? He really scored 53 points?"

"What? You ask me what I think?"

"He scored 53 points on the Lakers, what the hell can I say?"

……

Zheng Yang's performance in this game did shock many people. After learning the result of the game, Mr. Stern thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong.

The script I wrote clearly had James as the chosen one and Zheng Yang as the villain, so why do I suddenly feel that the other party is the protagonist now?
No, we can't let the script go astray.

David Stern, the director, couldn't let this happen, so he made a phone call.

Then the next night, against the Magic, James suddenly felt the game had gotten easier.

He could get free throws by simply attacking the inside. In one game, he got 24 free throws and easily scored 40 points.

Reason for the referee?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
James knew that this was the result of his hard work, even though he did not perform well in the last game against the Mavericks.

But it doesn’t matter, the protagonists of novels are all like this. In the early stage, they will definitely be bullied by villains and ridiculed by passers-by, but then their strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and then they will defeat the final boss - Zheng Yang!
That yellow man, wait for our next game. In that game, I will let you know truly what it means to be the chosen one!
The Best Newcomer award must be mine! Mine!
