Chapter fifty-ninth: losing streak
At the beginning of the second half, both sides sent a lineup of main players and substitutes.
In this way, the defense was reduced and the game was played smoothly.
Zhang Weifeng was also sent to the court by Reggie Seyus, and Brandon Bass was against Zhang Weifeng.
With his height advantage, Zhang Weifeng can always play eye-catching performances in the inside, but Zhang Weifeng still did not use the mid-range shooting he had worked hard. When "Little General" Johnson sent Nowitzki again, Zhang Weifeng's data list added 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.
"Zhang Weifeng's rebounding has been double-digit. I really didn't realize that this young man's rebounding ability is so good. I guess his double-double will continue today." Miller shook his head and said helplessly.
Smith's face was also full of joy, and the interface said: "Zhang Weifeng's judgment on the position of rebounding is very accurate, and his advantage is bounce, so he can naturally grab a lot of rebounds. And I also feel that his strength has always been retained, including his bounce. Zhang Weifeng's physical fitness is rare in most American players. He is a bit like the Warcraft of Orlando."
Although Miller doesn't hate Zhang Weifeng, he can't say he likes it. Hearing Smith's exaggeration, he will inevitably not refute: "The man in Orlando is known as "Warcraft". What is a Warcraft? He represents wildness, domineering and destructive power. It takes a long way to go to Zhang Weifeng to reach his step, of course, the premise is that he must stay healthy. As for whether his strength is reserved, I still say that, which is a bit unrealistic, after all, his age is too short."
Zhang Weifeng on the court was still shouting with Nowitzki, and of course he wouldn't know the conversation between the two ace commentators. Do you have any trump cards? Of course, there is, Zhang Weifeng gets up at four o'clock every morning to practice football.
In mainland China, Beijing Sports Live, a special guest coach has explained Zhang Weifeng's outstanding performance to the fans.
A fan also left a message: "Zhang Weifeng's emergence is the real hope of Chinese basketball. His body shape is perfect, and his physical fitness is rare among Chinese people in a century. I really don't know how such a person has been unknown. Now, in the rookie season, I am optimistic about him to compete for the league's most valuable player."
A coach also opened the message and smiled and said, "It's a bit too early to compete for the most valuable players, but if Zhang Weifeng won the Best Rookie in the Rookie Year, I wouldn't be surprised."
Suddenly a fan refreshed the message page; "Zhang Weifeng has won a double-double, with 10 points and 14 rebounds. Zhang Weifeng is so powerful. I hope he will continue this record until the end of the season. I am honey, honey is mighty!"
At the American Airlines Center Arena, the game has reached the end of the third quarter, and there are 14 seconds left. The Mavericks' timeout.
"Zhang Weifeng, you are so surprising. The big hat just now was so wonderful. Such a strong performance would probably anger the bamboo pole in Seattle to death." Hawyce said softly. Zhang Weifeng successfully defended the defense during the Mavericks' last attack, and when Terry made the last move, he raided the basketball off the sideline.
Sitting on the bench, Zhang Weifeng took the towel handed by the team staff and gently wiped the sweat beads from his neck. He was slightly gasping, and he was a little tired from the away game back to back.
Hearing Hawyce beside him, Zhang Weifeng smiled slightly, not hiding his coldness at all: "I am definitely the best in this class. I will suppress that guy."
After the draft, Zhang Weifeng failed to enter the top ten list of the best rookies predicted by some sports channels, and even failed to enter the list. At that time, the prediction was that the Trail Blazers' Oden first and the Supersonic Durant came behind.
Later, Oden announced the season's reimbursement, and Durant rose all the way and has been firmly at the top of the list.
As the new season starts, no one expected that Zhang Weifeng would be the biggest dark horse. Now he is overwhelming Durant and topped the Best Rookie List.
Although Durant averaged 24 points per game in the first two games, his shooting percentage was only 41%. In this way, Zhang Weifeng was much better. He scored 41 rebounds in the first two games of his career, and he had two consecutive games of 20+. This may only be found if he traced back to prehistoric.
Reggie Siyus dares to call Zhang Weifeng "bastnew" and has been carefully considered. After more than half a month of getting along, as the head coach of the NBA team, he can fully see how great the potential Zhang Weifeng has.
At the beginning of the game, the Kings sent a group of four students to catch up with points.
Center: Zhang Weifeng, forward: Artest, forward: John Somons, defender: Randy Fery, defender: Raymond Felton.
The Mavericks sent the opposite, with three big men over 210cm, while the outside was Jason Terry and Devin Harris with strong shooting ability.
When two extreme lineups meet together, everyone is looking forward to what will happen.
The Kings' ball was running faster at this time. Four guys, Felton, Randy Fery, Somons and Ate, took turns to attack the basket, while Zhang Weifeng was alone in the inside line. When they couldn't make a shot, wipe their butts.
However, two fists cannot beat four hands, let alone six black hands. Although Zhang Weifeng tried his best to fight, when the Mavericks grabbed the board, two people stuck their positions and one person took the board.
Because both teams are back-to-back, the players are a little weak, and their feels down at this time, and the rebounds are also increasing for a while. They produce 10 boards in 4 minutes, and Zhang Weifeng only got 3, and all of them are backcourt rebounds.
The Mavericks had rebound guarantees, and Terry and Harris began to take turns to shoot three-pointers, but their shooting percentage was not very high. Most of the Kings also shot, but the shooting percentage was much worse than the Mavericks.
Somons broke through and passed the ball to Ate on the outside. Ate on the fake shot and made the real pass, and transferred the basketball to Zhang Weifeng's hand. Zhang Weifeng hit the basket with a hook shot. There were 5 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game. The Kings trailed the Mavericks by 5 points 74:79.
"Little General" Johnson cautiously requested a brief pause and replaced all the team's main players.
After Nowitzki came on the court, he first made a 45-degree mid-range shot. Then, under the cover of his teammates, he made another three-pointer. The Kings felt cold and missed the shots in a row, but it made Zhang Weifeng, who was guarding the basket, gain a lot.
With 1 minute and 28 seconds left in the game, Zhang Weifeng took his 20th rebound in this game and once again completed 20+ rebounds, which is also his three consecutive games since the start of the game.
Afterwards, although Felton assisted Randy Fery to make another three-pointer in the corner, he was immediately stunned by the Mavericks' three consecutive three-pointers. The game was no longer suspense. In the end, the Kings lost to the Mavericks at the American Airlines Center Arena, with a score of 89:101.
Nowitzki won the best in the game. He played 33 minutes, made 9 of 17 shots, scored 26 points, and had 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. In addition to him, Jason Terry played his sixth man character, and actually made 11 three-pointers, hit 6, and contributed 23 points from the bench.
The Kings' offense was greatly reduced due to back-to-back reasons. The highest score in the team was substitute Randy Fery. He scored 17 points, and the team had a total of four players in double digits. Felton scored 14 points and 8 assists, Arte 11 points, and Zhang Weifeng scored 11 points, 21 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists and 2 steals.
In three away games, challenging three Western Conference strong teams, the Kings returned to Saramento with a record of 1 win and 2 losses and started three home games.
"Teammates assisted and helped the board, Zhang Weifeng continued to 20+!"
"Rodman, or Ben Wallace, who has a little offensive ability?"
