Chapter 93: 11 points in two minutes + loge three points
After arriving in Phoenix on the 17th, Nelson arranged for everyone to practice in a gym near the hotel for a while to maintain their condition, and then let them go back to the hotel to rest.

However, later in the evening, Nelson arranged for everyone to pack up and temporarily move to a hotel to rest. Nelson still remembered the night of G1 vividly.

If the Suns were a little more crazy today and set off fireworks from midnight until sunrise, the Mavericks would not have to play tomorrow's game.

The players had no objection to this. Although one must have the intention to harm others, one must also be on guard against others. So they packed up their things and went to another hotel to rest.

……

On the 18th, the streets and alleys of the entire Phoenix city were filled with slogans posted by Suns fans.

"3-2! We can do it!"

"We can win back a victory and save the suspense for G7!"

"The cowboys in the West have run out of bullets in their guns. We will be the final winners."

Phoenix fans didn't want their home team to stop here, they hoped for a miracle to happen, even though they knew it was almost impossible to turn the tables after falling behind 3-1.

But they still had a glimmer of hope: What if?
What if they really turn the tables?
The league has never lacked miracles. What if this miracle happens to them this year?

With this mentality, they tried every possible way to cheer for the home team, and at the same time, they were also putting pressure on the Mavericks, hoping that they would perform poorly in the next game.

As night began to fall, the Suns' arena was crowded with fans who either didn't get tickets to the arena or couldn't afford them.

But they still gathered here, wanting to be closer to their home team, closer...

When reporters outside the court swept their cameras over them, the Suns fans were showing their jerseys to the cameras and trash-talking Zheng Yang in front of the cameras.

"Fuck the scoring champion, you're a wimp! Sean is going to completely lock you down in this game."

"Others may be afraid of you, but we in the Suns are not. Come on, we will make you pay the price."

"You are not the best player in the 03 class. Dwayne is!"

What's more, he took out a jersey of Zheng Yang from his arms, threw it on the ground and stomped on it.

It's just that this place is inconvenient, otherwise the jersey would probably have been burned in the fire.

Of course, Zheng Yang couldn't hear what they said at the moment. He had just finished warming up and was preparing to play.

Even if he could hear it, he probably wouldn't take it to heart. What kind of trash talk can most break a person's defense?
Obviously it's just trash talking that tells the truth!

If you know that the other person is talking nonsense, why would you care about what he says?

Zheng Yang, who had just finished warming up and was about to go on the field, heard the away fans start to shout "Fuck Zheng!"

"Fuck Zheng"...

Zheng Yang suddenly felt helpless. How could these fans be so uncultured and even swear?
So he shook his head and walked to the sidelines, then put his palms to his ears like loudspeakers, signaling them to shout louder.

This little movement was not enough to fully excite him.

Zheng Yang's provocative action angered the fans. If the swear words just now were slogans, then now they came from the heart.

He shouted "Fuck Zheng" with red faces and full of anger.

Zheng Yang smiled contemptuously, then shook his finger at them.

That's it, nothing more than that.

Zheng Yang's actions caused dissatisfaction among the Suns players, and Shawn Marion walked over and started arguing with Zheng Yang.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Hey, are you in a hurry?"

Zheng Yang still had a smile on his face, and there was no fear in his eyes.

At this moment, Danville and others were afraid that Zheng Yang would suffer a loss, so they ran over and stood in front of him. Several referees also came over to help pull them apart, with confused looks on their faces.

Hey, the game hasn't even started yet, but you guys started first!

Are you two here for the basketball game?

How about going to a nearby gym for a PK?
"This game was really full of gunpowder! Before the game even started, Shawn Marion and Zheng Yang had a verbal conflict, but fortunately they were stopped by their teammates.

Judging from the footage just now, Shawn Marion should be dissatisfied with Zheng Yang's provocation of Suns fans.

But before the game started, the Suns fans started swearing at Zheng Yang, so it was normal for Zheng Yang to respond.

Yu Jia said fairly, "The away fans are scolding you, and you still have to smile at them? How is that possible?"
Coach Zhang on the side started to laugh.

"Zheng Yang's prestige in this team is really high. When a conflict happened here just now, Dampier, Josh Howard and others all rushed to help. Judging from the situation, even if a conflict really happened, Zheng Yang would definitely not suffer any loss.

As a young player, it is not an easy thing to enjoy such high prestige in a championship-contending team like the Mavericks.

It is truly remarkable that Zheng Yang can achieve this!"

After listening to Coach Zhang's words, Teacher Yu Jia nodded in agreement.

"Coach Zhang is right. People usually pay attention to Zheng Yang and his performance on the court, but think about it, a 19-year-old can survive in the NBA and survive quite well.

How much effort is put behind this!
Don’t think that Zheng Yang has an easy life in the NBA just because he always smiles during interviews. In fact, he must be more tired than anyone else.”

Teacher Yu Jia said with emotion that no matter from which angle, he likes and even admires the player Zheng Yang very much.

Whether it is his performance on or off the court, he can be said to have achieved perfection.

It is indeed not easy for a 19-year-old child to achieve this!

After hearing what the two teachers said, the Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't help but start to think deeply.

Although they don't quite understand what it means for a Chinese player to play in the NBA, when they think about how they always felt uncomfortable when they went to a new environment when they were in school, they know how difficult it is for Zheng Yang to live in the NBA.

Not only will he not be used to it in daily life, he might also be bullied by other teammates.

I heard from some media reports that many people in the NBA like to bully rookies. Even players like Jordan and Kobe have been bullied before. Yellow people like Zheng Yang will only be bullied more severely.

But he managed to survive so tenaciously and lived so well, which is really admirable.

People always have a habit of thinking that they like to associate a character with a tragic figure in order to highlight his greatness.

So at this moment they all thought of Zheng Yang's situation in the worst possible way. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that he was great, and the more they loved him, the more deeply they loved him.

But if Zheng Yang knew what they were thinking, he would probably be confused.

Being bullied?
Being bullied?
That’s not true. They usually call me boss. It’s good enough that I don’t bully them. Who dares to bully me?

Zheng Yang is indeed having a very comfortable life in the NBA. Even last season, as a rookie on the team, he still did not suffer unfair treatment. At most, a few veterans just played jokes on him.

Nothing will be overdone.

This has something to do with the fact that his teammates have good personalities and are easy to get along with. On the other hand, Zheng Yang's progress is really too fast.

He was able to become the second main attacker of the star-studded Mavericks last season. With this level of strength, no one dared to bully him.

After calming down the emotions of the players on both sides, the game continued. The starting lineups of both sides remained the same without any changes.

During the jump ball phase, Dampier passed the ball to the Mavericks, and the Mavericks got their first offensive opportunity. Jason Terry took the ball to the front court, and Shawn Marion continued to follow Zheng Yang. It seemed that their defensive focus in this game was still on Zheng Yang. In the first round, Zheng Yang did not run for a suitable shooting opportunity, so he simply stopped running and stood at a 45-degree angle on the left side as a spectator.

He looked relaxed with his hands on his hips and a faint smile on his lips. If it weren't for the jersey he was wearing, everyone would have thought he was a spectator who had mistakenly entered the stadium.

Zheng Yang dared to relax like that, but Shawn Marion, who was defending him, did not dare to do so. After all, there had been cases before where when Shawn Marion relaxed, Zheng Yang suddenly rushed into the inside and scored a goal by cutting in.

So he must always be vigilant.

Jason Terry on the other side knew that Zheng Yang was not going to attack in this round, so he passed the ball to Nowitzki on the right side.

On the offensive end, giving the ball to him is also a good choice.

Nowitzki got the ball and faced Joe Johnson who was defending him. He didn't do any complicated moves and just pushed the ball in with his butt.

The height and weight of the two players are completely different. How could Joe Johnson possibly defend him?

Stoudemire's defense was a little slow, and before he arrived, Nowitzki had already scored the ball.

2-0!

After Stoudemire caught the basketball that fell from the basket, he immediately served the ball. After the ball was passed to Nash, he threw a long pass directly to the Mavericks' backcourt.

Shawn Marion had rushed over at some point, and after receiving the pass, he directly confronted Zheng Yang next to him, and then made a layup.

After scoring the goal, Shawn Marion roared at Zheng Yang and flexed his muscles.

"Now it's time to shut your stinky mouth!"

Shawn Marion shouted, obviously still upset about the recent conflict.

Zheng Yang licked his lips and nodded with a sneer, then took the initiative to ask for the ball in the next round. Dampier was waiting at the free throw line, and once Zheng Yang was double-teamed, he would immediately do a pick-and-roll or provide support.

But before the Suns' double-team was formed, Zheng Yang had already started his attack.

He also didn't do anything fancy. He suddenly broke through to the right after a crotch move. Sean Marion felt something was wrong and hurried to follow. But just as he took a step forward, he saw Zheng Yang stop and pull back again.

Zheng Yang returned to the three-point line and took a three-point shot directly. Then he looked back confidently without even looking.

With a "swish" sound, it immediately became a silencer for away fans.

“You’re so slow, even slower than my grandma.

You are so soft, softer than my shit this morning.

Don't worry, the nightmare has just begun."

Zheng Yang said coldly to Sean Marion that he was not a person who held grudges, because he would usually avenge himself on the spot.

At this moment, Shawn Marion did not realize the seriousness of the problem and continued to refute shamelessly.

"You're using your mouth to start my nightmare? Shut up rookie! No one cares what you say!
You’re not going to score more than 20 points today, and we’re going to win this series.”

Zheng Yang ignored him, and in the next Suns' offensive round, Nash missed his mid-range shot.

After Zheng Yang grabbed the offensive rebound, he started a fast break counterattack, but Shawn Marion was not passed in this round.

But when Zheng Yang rushed to the free throw line, he suddenly turned around and stopped abruptly, then made a mid-range shot.

7-2!

Zheng Yang has made two of two shots and scored 5 points.

In the next round, the Suns' Stoudemire's layup was blocked by Dampier, but their defense was too quick and the Mavericks' fast break failed.

After bypassing Dampier's screen and before the Suns' double-team was formed, Zheng Yang took a three-pointer from one step away from the top of the arc.

He usually doesn't shoot much from this position, nor does he shoot much from this distance. After all, three-pointers are not mainstream these days, and ultra-long three-pointers are not something that the coach can accept.

Therefore, Zheng Yang usually does not take action in this position.

It’s just that my touch was very good today, so after I found a shooting position with the help of a screen, I just shot it.

And the fact was just as he expected, the basketball went into the net and he got another three points.

Old Nelson on the sidelines finally didn't rush to curse this time, otherwise he would have to change his words at the last minute.

Just looking at Zheng Yang's moves, old Nelson still felt helpless.

"Can't this guy shoot from closer? He'll have to shoot at the logo position."

Zheng Yang’s shooting choices have always been a frustration for old Nelson. Sometimes he wants to scold him, but he can still make the shot for you.

If I don't scold him, I'll feel uncomfortable.

Forget it, let’s wait until he finishes the game, and then give him two more practice sessions after the game.

In the next round, Nash finally made a three-pointer to narrow the score, but this time Zheng Yang asked Jason Terry for the ball directly in the backcourt, and then took a three-pointer just after half court while stepping on the logo.

This move stunned everyone, including Nelson, D'Antoni, and the fans at the scene...

Three points for the logo?

Is Zheng Yang crazy?

Did he think he was taking a shooting practice?
Even in shooting practice he might not be able to make the shot, right?

How dare this guy shoot such a ball in the game.

"Hey Zheng, you TM...Fuck, good job!"

Old Nelson just stood up, then sat down again cursing. Damn, he actually made the shot.

Damn, this guy is in such a good touch today.

The fans at the scene were stunned for a moment before quickly screaming loudly.

The madness is no less than making a buzzer-beater.

Fans these days have never seen a logo three-pointer, let alone one shot during a game.

Even Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, who are famous for their three-pointers, have rarely been seen shooting three-pointers at the logo.

This shot also stunned D'Antoni. He could even make a three-pointer with the logo. This guy is going to heaven.

He quickly requested a timeout to suppress the opponent's momentum.

Otherwise, there would be no need to play the rest of this game.

"Hey Sean, you're my best aim."

When passing by Shawn Marion, Zheng Yang smiled. Hearing this, Shawn Marion clenched his fists, but then loosened them helplessly.

It seems like there's nothing wrong with what the other party said!
He scored 11 points in the first two minutes. This is Zheng Yang's scoring ability!
