king of front

Chapter 125 Let yourself fly~ (13)

Popovich certainly has an impression.Isn't this young man wearing the No. 15 Lakers purple and gold jersey the same Asian core striker from the Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions back then?

In fact, when Zhou Yang participated in the draft, a considerable number of teams did not take him seriously.Unlike Yao Ming, the status of the No. [-] pick came with all kinds of exposure and attention!

Yao Ming's personal influence is also increasing rapidly!And his personal ability is not low!From the past to now, Yao Ming should be regarded as the most successful Asian player in the NBA! !

Like the Mavericks, Spurs, and Jazz at the time, they basically wanted Zhou Yang to open up the Chinese market for themselves!But even before deciding whether to let him play, they began to fight for this kid.

The Blazers directly cut Zhou Yang.They think that this guy is a piece of shit when he comes to the team, so they might as well just fire him.Unexpectedly!After this Asian player stepped into the NBA, his ability really made people see the shadow of Yao Ming!

O'Neill loves this young man very much!At the press conference, even during the period when I was hospitalized, a reporter who interviewed Shark was full of praise for Zhou Yang!This situation is reminiscent of the scene not long after Kobe arrived in the Lakers a few years ago
When someone asked Ao Fat if he would have conflicts with Zhou Yang in the future, the big shark smiled easily and shook his head in silence.No one knew what he meant.

The Sharks feel that their speed is slowing down, their injuries are increasing, their age is not young, and their passing is increasing.He is no longer himself in the magic period.Although now he still has an unshakable top state in the league!
But this state is gradually declining. Will Zhou Yang be the next Kobe in terms of attitude? He and Bryant were so good back then.He himself can't give an answer to this, only time will tell.But can I really wait until that moment?

Although there are not many reports in the league now, anyone who often watches basketball can find that kind of eagerness. Yao Ming of the Rockets, Howard of the Magic and Gasol of the Grizzlies are considered to be the next players after Shaquille O'Neal. Batch of super centers!The power of Warcraft is so terrifying that he has been sought after since he first arrived in the alliance!

Cuban is in a rather depressed mood now. What Nowitzki said to him before the draft is often remembered by himself.That is the potential of the player Zhou Yang. When the Blazers announced the expulsion of Zhou Yang, there were several teams that could contact him immediately!

But in the end the Lakers signed him with a three-year ten million-level contract that met a star!At that time, there were teams mocking the Lakers, saying that their team is now all about attracting attention.But what about now?

Among the rookies in this class, Zhou Yang's current scoring data ranks first in the league!Howard is the number one rookie rebounder!And the one with the most assists is Queen Bee Paul!Such a result once again proved the vision of the agent Leon!
He signed two players in this year's rookie list with three statistics!Neither Zhou Yang nor Paul disappointed him, let alone become a joke.

"The first quarter was good, now what you guys have to do is to hold the Spurs as much as possible. Don't let them open the gap. Don't try to outpace the Spurs, and I repeat, don't try to catch up. rhythm"

After the first quarter, the score was 26:23!Parker hit a three-pointer in the final attack!The Spurs players are a little strange, what is the situation with such a Lakers?Now they can be said to be "a new generation of Lakers"!

In the current impression, whether it is players from other teams or fans, as long as they mention the Los Angeles Lakers, they will immediately think of two people, O'Neal and Kobe.And in the quarter just after the game ended, Riodom and Zhou Yang were playing against them on the field like the new leaders of the Lakers now!

"Mim and Zhou Yang, you two still need to pay special attention to Duncan's rebounding. The guards should shoot more from the outside and less inside! Cook, pass more. Give the guards and Zhou Yang more offense. .”

Not long after returning to the team, Cook knows what drastic changes have taken place in his team now!That is, the status of Zhou Yang and Vujacic in the team has risen rapidly!And Odom is still the third player on the team except the "OK combination"!

After listening to the arrangement of the Zen master, he could have no complaints.It’s great to be able to play!

"Duncan, you score less points, everyone pay close attention to the points, otherwise we will lose." Popovich's attitude is different.Is it okay to fight like this with the other party?
After returning from the second quarter, the Lakers' lineup is Mihm, Zhou Yang, Cook, Vujacic, Smush!The Spurs are Duncan, Robert, Finley, Van Exel and Brent in turn!

The two San Antonio generals went down to rest.Popovich's intentions are obvious. On the one hand, he asked his team to surpass the opponent as much as possible in the first half!On the other hand, he has already figured out a coping strategy in the following games!
Now Parker and Yaodao are able to fight!They played 40 minutes or so and nothing!But Popovich still compressed their playing time, one is to restore their physical strength, after all, the current opponent is not very strong, and the other is to hope that they can deal critical damage to the Lakers in the next game!
Zhou Yang was a little upset seeing Duncan still on the court.This guy actually provoked himself at the beginning of the game!Rookie Duncan shuddered when he saw Zhou Yang
The mental state of the new players and the main players of the Spurs is different. They have seen the performance of the Lakers players in the first quarter with their own eyes!If you want to fulfill the requirements of the coach in this quarter, you can only attack the opponent more vigorously!

After Duncan served to Brent, he ran over by himself.In the first quarter, Zhou Yang had already let himself go. The reason why he played like this is that it is very difficult for a team like the Spurs to win.

In this case, why not let go and fight with the opponent~ Now Zhou Yang wants to know what it will be like when his aptitude reaches B-level, A-level!He has just been promoted from the peak of the D-level to the C-level, and he can already play a certain state!

The key is that now he finds that the number of his mistakes is also decreasing, only 3 mistakes in the last game!In this game, he made more mistakes.But still fierce!

Zen master knew that if Zhou Yang was allowed to go down now, the opponent would immediately think that the Lakers were about to start training, and maybe the two teams would enter garbage time in the second quarter.

Finley didn't make a jumper after getting the ball!Zhou Yang grabbed the rebound next to Duncan and passed the ball to Odom. The latter saw that Duncan was fast enough, so he directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Vujacic behind him!
In order not to let Duncan preempt!Zhou Yang jumped up regardless of whether Vujacic's goal scored or not!After the three-point shot came out, Zhou Yang was already in a state of decline, but he still got the rebound, and he made a fake move from Duncan to shake the opponent away and scored a throw!

"Are all rookies so strong now?" Duncan immediately smiled and said to his teammates, but Parker and Ginobili watched him quietly, and no one on the court answered Duncan's words.
