Chapter 49 A New King Has Appeared ( Words Chapter)

During the timeout, Nelson emphasized the defensive focus later.

Obviously, the Mavericks will have to defend the opponent's three-pointer next.

They can allow the opponent to score two points, but they will never allow three points.

“Hey guys, listen to me.

Let Weber receive the serve later and let him execute the final attack."

After old Nelson finished speaking, Zheng Yang took over and spoke.

“Let Webber run their team’s final possession.

I mean, he couldn’t make that big shot.”

You can always trust Chris Webber's clutch play because he will never let you down.

Chris Webber reached the NCAA finals in his sophomore year, but in the last 11 seconds of the finals, he called a timeout due to nervousness.

But he was so nervous that he forgot that the team had no timeouts at that moment, so he received a fatal technical foul, causing the University of Michigan to miss the championship.

In the Western Conference Finals of the 01-02 season, in the overtime of Game 7 against the Lakers, Chris Webber missed both shots, causing the team to lose the chance of winning.

In the original history, they would meet the Timberwolves in the semifinals this year. In the last two seconds of G7, Webber dribbled past the Timberwolves' block and shot the basketball.

Can he be the team's savior this time?

Two seconds later, the Timberwolves' home court was plunged into a wave of carnival, and a figure knelt on the court.

There are many more examples like this!
Chris Webber has missed so many key shots in his career. Obviously, this cannot be explained by lack of ability. He simply has a fragile mentality and is unable to carry the team forward under high pressure.

Originally, Peja, Mike Bibby and Webber of the Kings were not good at attacking. In that case, why not give the ball to Chris Webber, who had the weakest mental ability?
Don't worry, he will end this game himself.

The others were a little hesitant. After all, Chris Webber was still very famous. What if he really made the shot?
“I support Zheng’s point of view.

Basketball is gambling. There is no guaranteed win or loss.

All we need to do is attack their biggest vulnerability, and right now, Chris Webber is their biggest vulnerability.

He didn't take a single three-pointer in this game. If he wanted to shoot a three-pointer, he should try his best to defend, but remember not to foul to avoid making it a 3+1.

If he really scores, let's go to overtime!"

At the critical moment, old Nelson supported Zheng Yang and he believed in Zheng's judgment.

After the timeout, there were only 6 seconds left in the game. Would it be overtime, a tie, or a miraculous 3+1 buzzer beater?

Who will decide the fate of this team?
The answer will be revealed soon.

The Kings' original plan was to let Peja shoot a three-pointer, but Zheng Yang followed very closely and he did not get a chance to catch the ball.

Mike Bibby, who was serving, noticed Webber and passed the ball to him first. Six seconds was enough for another tactical coordination.

The reason why Webber is so popular among fans is not only his offense and defense, but also his passing skills, such as ground passes, long passes, and back passes, which are comparable to those of a defender.

omnipotent!

He served as the axis of the Princeton system, exploring opportunities for his teammates at the free throw line. Countless fans hoped that their "King" could make a beautiful pass and help his teammates make a three-pointer.

But everything has two sides, just like if you have wealth, you will definitely lose poverty.

In this game, the Kings used the Princeton system to score dozens of points on the Mavericks, but their obsession with finding absolutely open opportunities without any defense left the players with no other solutions when they couldn't run into open space.

The Kings are in chaos!
When they finished the tactic and still did not have an absolute open opportunity, they had no remedy.

Forcefully catch the ball and attack?

Who has this ability?

They can have a blank mind and stand there in a daze, but time will not stop for them.

"Shoot!"

Rick Adelman on the sidelines shouted a reminder that there were less than two seconds left. At that moment, Webber finally realized it belatedly.

Shooting?

Is he the one to carry out the final attack?
He had no time to hesitate, he rushed out of the three-point line and threw the ball. Routine shooting training can certainly enhance muscle memory, but in particularly stressful situations, all muscle memory will disappear.

At the moment the ball flew out, Weber had no idea whether he hit the ball too hard or too soft.

He could only watch the basketball slowly rise into the air and then slowly fall down, without hitting the backboard, the rim, or even the net.

That was an outrageous three-no-dish.

As the timer sounded, Chris Webber knelt on the ground, covering his face in pain.

What made him feel painful was not losing the game, but that he still failed to successfully defeat his inner demons.

The nightmare that started in my sophomore year has not ended yet!

When Chris Webber fell to his knees, Zheng Yang happened to appear beside him. He had a defiant look on his face. He did not celebrate. What he wanted to tell the Kings was that my revenge on you has not ended yet.

A photographer not far away pressed the shutter to freeze this moment. Looking at the sharp contrast between the two people in the photo, the photographer from ESPN has already thought of what the title of tomorrow's article will be.

"A new king has appeared!"

"The game ended with a score of 115:112, and the Dallas Mavericks won the first game of this series.

让我们看看全场数据，诺维茨基砍下32分12篮板3助攻，另外还有3抢断和5盖帽，郑阳砍下30分10篮板4助攻，还有2抢断3盖帽。

Both men filled the stat column.

Apart from these two players, there was no third player on the Mavericks who scored over 20 points.

国王队这边多点开花，全队6人得分上双，其中佩贾28分8篮板，韦伯26分12篮板，道格.克里斯蒂21分8篮板11助攻。

I think the most noteworthy player among this group of players is Zheng Yang. Of the Mavericks' 10 points in the last four minutes, 8 came directly from Zheng Yang, and the other 2 points were assists he gave to Nowitzki.

He took charge of the crucial moments of the game!
It's hard to imagine that he is just an 18-year-old young man. This is his first playoff game. In the All-Star Game two months ago, many people thought that his All-Star status was not good enough.

But after this game, I think those doubts should disappear.

When facing the Kings, who have four All-Star players, Zheng Yang's performance can be said to have the upper hand.

The maturity, stability and offensive ability he showed in critical moments were things that the Kings players never had.

It can be said that he is a rising star with unlimited potential!

Looking forward to the next game between the two teams, I believe it will still be very exciting.

Coach Zhang, do you have any other opinions about this game? " In the CCTV Sports Studio, at the end of the live broadcast, Yu Jia threw the question to Zhang Weiping, who smiled.

"Hey, I told you this a long time ago, this is how we have to play this game. Just pass the ball to Zheng Yang! This is the most reasonable way to play it."

Coach Zhang's style remains the same as always. I believe that after this game, Coach Zhang will be the most well-known "Zheng fan" in the country.

There is probably no need to elaborate on the scene in the TNT studio. Amid Barkley's excited comments, Mr. Pi slipped away under the pretext of going to the restroom!

He will definitely not come to the next game!
When the Kings won, he couldn't say a word for a long time. Once the Kings lost, he was ridiculed by Barkley and his faith was shattered.

Why bother!
After the game, Zheng Yang was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. The person who came to interview him today was also an old acquaintance of Zheng Yang, the beautiful lady Irene Angelus.

Although she didn't wear as cool clothes today as before, the tight clothes still showed off her good figure perfectly.

“Hey handsome Zheng, we meet again! Your performance today is really shocking! To be honest, I am already your loyal fan!
Did you see me cheering for you just now? "

Irene Angelus said with a smile, she is indeed very pretty.

Although Zheng Yang didn't see it, he still smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I wanted to say hello to you, but you know our game is very intense, I dare not lose my concentration for even a moment.

So I’m sorry!”

“Haha, it’s okay, let’s start today’s interview!
First of all, I want to ask you what you think of this game? Or what is your first feeling after playing this game? "

Zheng Yang's few sweet words made Irene Angelus' smile even sweeter.

Zheng Yang paused, and said after organizing his words in his brain.

“Obviously, I’m tired!
This was my first playoff game, and if I remember correctly, I only rested for two minutes, even though I often did that in the regular season.

But you know, the playoffs feel completely different, I feel like I played two regular season games in one go, and now my legs are starting to give out.

As for the game itself, it was a very intense match. We were always taking turns leading. Although I really don’t like my opponents, I have to say that they performed very well today.

They found a lot of open opportunities, took advantage of our mistakes and loopholes, and used them to score a lot of points.

Of course, our team also performed very well, Dirk, Walker, Josh...

Every player on our team performed very well. Even if some of them did not get a chance to play, they still cheered for us from the bottom, which gave us a lot of spiritual strength.

I think this is the kind of exciting game that the fans want to see.”

“Indeed, you played a very exciting game.

So what do you think was the key to your victory today?"

Irene Angelus asked the second question.

“The most important thing is that we played very united and positively.

We always share the ball unselfishly and always try our best to defend. Every player who played today gave his all.

Of course, there is also our head coach, he is a wise man, he will always find ways to help us improve ourselves and win games, he also trusts us very much.

I respect him from the bottom of my heart! In my mind, the best coach award always belongs to him. "

"The last question is, we saw that in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter, most of your team's shots came from you, so are you playing a key role in the team now?"

Although this is true, there are four other All-Stars in the team. If he were to directly say that he, a rookie, played the key role of the team, it would be a bit of an insult to them.

Therefore, Zheng Yang's answer was very humble and tactful!

“I think this statement is wrong.

You know, each of us plays different roles in the team at different times. I felt very good today, so I took more shots in the final moments.

But it is obviously not right to define our role by such a game.

I am very grateful that they were willing to unselfishly pass the ball to me at such a critical moment. They really trusted me.

Fortunately, I did not betray this trust.

I love them, I love this team! We are like a family! ”

“Yes, you performed really well today and lived up to the trust of your teammates.

There is another game the day after tomorrow. I hope you can have a good rest in these two days and put in a great performance.

Thank you for the interview today!"

……

After returning to the locker room, everyone was happy, but there was no celebration.

Everyone knows that this is only the first game in the series and it is not time to pop open the champagne to celebrate.

Old Nelson told them to have a good rest in the next two days and not to go out and mess around to avoid any accidents.

……

In yesterday's first round of the Western Conference playoffs, in which the Mavericks played against the Kings, rookie Zheng performed extremely well.

In the last four minutes of the game, he scored eight of the team's ten points, and the other two points were assisted by Nowitzki.

Although Dwyane Wade, a rookie of the same year as the Hornets, scored the buzzer beater in yesterday's game against the Heat, his performance was still inferior to Zheng.

The Best Rookie award has not yet been announced, but obviously, no one should doubt who the winner is.

According to insiders, Kenny Smith is ready to show his dancing skills to his fans.

Let's look forward to seeing him belly dance with his bare butt! - Phoenix Sun

According to the interview, Pippen was surprised by Zheng's performance in the playoffs, but he was still optimistic that the Kings would win this series.

Barkley once again said that Pippen doesn't understand basketball at all, and the latter has not responded yet. - Washington Sports Daily

In the post-game interview, Mavericks head coach Don Nelson praised Zheng's outstanding performance in G1 and once again felt fortunate for his decision in last year's draft.

At the same time, Don Nelson also hopes to win the second game and return to his home court with a 2-0 record. - Akron Sports Daily

"He is indeed a very talented young man. We did underestimate him before. Next, we will study this player carefully and make a special defensive strategy for him.

I hope the fans in Sacramento will continue to support us and we will tie the score in the second game." - Kings head coach Rick Adelman said when referring to the G1 game.

This photo may mean that the new king is about to ascend the throne! But I think Zheng is not only the king of the Mavericks, he will also be the king of the league in the future.

I am looking forward to that day, and I believe that day will come in the near future. - "Glider" Clyde Drexler said with a smile after seeing the photo of Webber and Zheng Yang at the end of the game.
