Chapter 256 We Support You!
11月26日，76人队105-89输给公牛。
On November 11, against the Cavaliers.At the last moment, Rondo ignored Zhang Zifeng's request for the ball from the outside. After breaking through the inside, Rondo passed the ball to Embiid.
As a result, Embiid missed the last shot, and the 76ers lost to the Cavaliers 108-110.
Two consecutive losses, the team atmosphere is bad, Zhang Zifeng knew he had to do something.
Zhang Zifeng is a little envious of teams like the Spurs.
For so many years, the team has remained stable without so many problems.
The admiral handed over the core position to Duncan smoothly.
Duncan smoothly handed over the core position of the team to Parker.
Then Parker smoothly handed over the core of the team to Kawhi Leonard.
It would be great if the 76ers could be as stable as the Spurs, and it would be great if the team had a coach with wrist and prestige like Popovich!
But although I am a little envious of the Spurs, the 76ers are my team now, and I can't escape when encountering difficulties.
I am the boss of the 76ers, and what I want to think about is how to deal with the team's plight.
Zhang Zifeng quietly thought about the solution.
The most critical issue now is that my performance during this period is not good enough.
If your performance is good enough, you will be recognized by the players. No one dares to compete with you, and the fans will continue to support you.
The performance was not good some time ago, mainly due to the poking of the fingers, which affected the feel.
Now the fingers are almost healed, as long as I strengthen my shooting training, I can get back the touch.
Then I need the support of the team and the coach. As long as they are on my side, I can completely suppress other players as the captain.
Don't worry about Embiid, but Rondo is a troublesome thing.
It seems that I need to have a good communication with him.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Zifeng stayed in the arena to practice shooting after the team's routine training.
From the free throw line to five points beyond the three-point line, Zhang Zifeng shot two hundred shots in each place.
bump!bump!Swish...
As the number of shots increased, Zhang Zifeng felt the old touch come back.
With the last shot, Zhang Zifeng smiled.
After training, Zhang Zifeng put on clean clothes and rang the coach's office.
Hearing the knock on the door, Brett Brown looked up to see Zhang Zifeng, and said, "Hey, Jack. The training is over, why are you interested in coming to my place. Sit down!"
Zhang Zifeng pulled out his chair and sat down, and said: "Mr. Brett, I want to discuss with you the tactics of the next game. My finger injury has completely healed, and I think I can participate more in the next game! "
Brett Brown heard and said: "Of course, our 76ers have always played around you!"
But Brett Brown quickly reacted and said: "Jack, I understand what you mean. You are the core of the team and the cornerstone of the team. The team and I must support you! Don't worry, I will let you The other players understand that!"
"That's good, then I'll go out first!"
"Jack, come on next time, I believe you will become the best one again!"
"Of course, I will always be the best!"
After communicating with the head coach, the kid Rondo is left now.
The guy whose emotional intelligence is always off the line.
Zhang Zifeng called Rondo and asked him to meet at the bar most frequented by the team.
At the bar, Zhang Zifeng shouted to the bartender, "Two martinis!"
The bartender quickly served two glasses of martinis, Zhang Zifeng took a sip and said, "Rajon, you are a champion member, you should know what kind of team can win the championship!"
Rondo said proudly: "Of course!"
Zhang Zifeng put down his glass and said, "When the team first recruited you, they not only valued your strength, but also valued your experience in winning the championship. I hope that you can help us and the team in the playoffs. But your current actions not only did not help the team. team, but brought trouble to the team. Do you understand?"
Rondo shouted unconvinced, "Everything I do on the court is for the team. I passed the ball to Embiid in the last game because he is in a better position!"
Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. You pass the ball because he is in a better position. But he can't get the ball to the basket, so what's the point of your passing. Give me the ball, I can score goals. Give them, not sure."
Rondo was immediately stunned by Zhang Zifeng's words.
Because what Zhang Zifeng said is very reasonable, even if they pass the ball to them, what's the use if they can't score.
Although Zhang Zifeng's position may not be the best, but he can score the ball, that's enough!
What kind of tactics, what coordination, isn't the final function of the game just to send the ball into the basket!
But if you can't score, no matter how good the cooperation is, what's the use of the best tactics.
Otherwise, why would there be players, superstars, and superstars?
Otherwise, why everyone's annual salary will be different.
Zhang Zifeng stared at Rondo, "A player who doesn't want to win the championship is not a good player, but if we want to win the championship, we all need to make changes, don't we? Rajon, I know you can perform better when you have the ball in your hands. But you You know, I'm the one who's most sure of putting the ball in the basket, and I'm the one who can help the team win!"
Rondo said after a moment of silence, "Okay, I understand!"
"Okay, cheers!"
After Rondo is settled, as for Embiid, Zhang Zifeng doesn't care at all.
Without a defender to deliver shells to the center, how much can a center play in the offense.
Carry the ball by yourself to attack?
Don't talk about it, just the height of the center forward's dribble can steal the ball every minute.
On November 11, the 30ers played against the Raptors at home.
Although the 76ers suffered a two-game losing streak before, the 76ers' record this season is still very good, with 11 wins and 3 losses just like the Cavaliers.However, the 76ers relied on their mutual record to overwhelm the Cavaliers and rank first in the Eastern Conference.
Many fans in this game are concerned about whether the team can stop the losing streak, defeat the opponent, and continue to sit firmly in the number one position in the Eastern Conference.
The vast number of Huaxia fans also stayed in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast early.
Entering the post-Iverson era, the 76ers led by Zhang Zifeng have now survived the darkness and are making an impact on the championship.
Fans don't want the team to return to the days when there is no hope.
When stepping out of the player tunnel, Zhang Zifeng was greeted by huge cheers from the 76ers fans.
The fans waved support signs at Zhang Zifeng and shouted loudly. "Zhang, come on. You are the best!"
"We believe in you, you are the best, you are the hope of the team!"
"Feng, use your strength to slap those bitches who slander you fiercely, and tell them that you are the best!"
……
The fans cheered Zhang Zifeng one by one with the roar of their lungs, letting Zhang Zifeng know that they were on his side.
Listening to the roar of those fans, Zhang Zifeng was very moved, this is the home field!
The people in the arena are shouting your name like a tsunami, cheering for you, how can you not be moved and try to win the game!
Due to his finger injury in the first few games, his shooting percentage was not good.
Today Zhang Zifeng tried his best to perform well and let those who look down on him see.
After warming up, Brett Brown clapped his hands and called the players over.When he announced the starting lineup, he shouted: "Embiid will take a rest this time, and Noel will start."
Embiid was taken aback when he heard it. He was in good shape during this time, and he still wanted to play more time and have more opportunities to perform, so as to win a big contract for the next contract.
Embiid hurriedly shouted to the coach, "Coach, I feel fully recovered. I can play."
Brett Brown smiled and said to Embiid, "Joel, I am doing it for your own good. You have just recovered, don't be so tired, sit on the sidelines and rest for this game!"
Embiid shouted, "Coach, you have to trust me. I really can!"
Brett Brown said with a straight face, "You are the coach, or I am the coach. The game is about to start, sit down and watch the game, don't hinder my work!"
Seeing Brett Brown get angry, Embiid sat on the bench depressed.
After letting Embiid sit on the bench, Brett Brown said loudly, "We have lost two games in a row, and we can't continue to play like this. We have to return to the rhythm we are familiar with. We must resolutely revolve around Jack's tactics Come to the game. If anyone dares to disobey the order and only think about coming by himself, I will let him be on the bench for a season. Did you hear that?"
"Yes, coach!"
"OK, let's play!"
Raptors starting lineup: Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Siakam, Vallance Yunas.
76ers starting lineup: Rondo, Zhang Zifeng, Grant, Ibaka, Noll.
Noel jumps over Vallance Jonas.
Rondo snatched the ball and dribbled it steadily through half court.
In the frontcourt, under Lowry's interference, Rondo organized the team's offense without a trace of panic.
As soon as Zhang Zifeng ran to the frontcourt, he faced DeRozan.
DeRozan has amazing jumping, extremely explosive power, and is a scorer with excellent athletic ability.
In the ESPN Eastern Conference shooting guard rankings at the beginning of the season, DeRozan ranked third, behind Zhang Zifeng and Bill.
DeRozan's offense is unquestionable, but his ranking is not as good as that of Zhang Zifeng and Bill. The difference lies in his defense.
DeRozan's defensive speed is okay, but the confrontation is almost impossible, and he is prone to loss of position.
Defense is a major obstacle restricting DeMar DeRozan's progress to the superstar hall.
Zhang Zifeng moved quickly, and Ibaka made a lateral move to cover Zhang Zifeng.
With Zhang Zifeng's elegant running position and the team's cover, DeRozan couldn't keep up.
Zhang Zifeng shook off DeRozan, and Rondo immediately passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng who ran out of space.
Zhang Zifeng catches the ball, jumps up, and makes a shot.
In the eyes of the fans in the audience, the ball spun and plunged into the basket.
There was a burst of explosive cheers from the auditorium. It was such a three-pointer in the opening game, which made the 76ers and the audience very happy.
Zhang Zifeng seems to feel good today.
On days when Zhang Zifeng feels good, the 76ers have a high winning percentage.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng score in front of him, although DeRozan was a little upset.
But I have played against Zhang Zifeng four or five times in two seasons, and I am familiar with Zhang Zifeng. DeRozan also knows that Zhang Zifeng is very strong.
If he wants to guard against Zhang Zifeng, he can't easily restrain him. It seems that if he wants to regain the field, he can only attack.
On the next ball, DeRozan dribbled under the crotch.
Zhang Zifeng used solid steps.
DeRozan made a few fake moves, one accelerated and rushed in.
Zhang Zifeng hurriedly stepped sideways to block this guy.
He bumped Zhang Zifeng tentatively, but DeRozan found that he couldn't hit it at all. This guy is stronger than last season.
Unable to tear through the opponent's defense, DeRozan felt very depressed, so he could only call Siakam for help, and with the help of cover, he went inside and succeeded in throwing the ball.
Seeing that the opponent scored a goal, Zhang Zifeng ran forward quickly.
This time DeRozan tried his best to defend Zhang Zifeng, but in front of Zhang Zifeng, his efforts were not rewarded.
Rondo threw off Lori with a few fake moves and went inside. At this time, Zhang Zifeng also started to run.
As soon as he received the ball from Rondo, he slammed into DeRozan behind him with his butt, and directly knocked a little bit away. Zhang Zifeng strengthened DeRozan under the cheers of the audience.
After bumping twice, Zhang Zifeng advanced to the inside line. After a feint, he leaned against DeRozan and took a step forward. He jumped with his legs and shot.
DeRozan could only watch the ball fly over his head.
Go in, score.
The Huaxia fans in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhang Zifeng scoring consecutive goals.
Affected by those media reports in the previous period, many Huaxia fans were really worried that Zhang Zifeng's performance was just a flash in the pan.
The 76ers will give up Zhang Zifeng and rebuild around Embiid.
But now seeing that the 76ers still revolve around Zhang Zifeng as the core of their tactics, they immediately feel relieved. The 76ers still value Zhang Zifeng, and Zhang Zifeng is still that MVP-level star.
The game continued, and the 76ers at home quickly took the lead 11-6.
Then Lowry returned two three-pointers, 11-12.
After that, the 76ers stepped up their defense. Zhang Zifeng jumped out like a cheetah and blocked Lowry's pass.
In an instant, the 76ers completed the offensive and defensive transition, and the Raptors quickly retreated to the backcourt.
Zhang Zifeng rushed to the frontcourt and faced DeRozan. When he was about to play hard, Carroll rushed over to double-team the defense.
Zhang Zifeng pretended to break through inside, but passed the ball instead.
The ball passed through Carroll's crotch and bounced directly into Grant's hands.
Grant made an easy three-pointer from an open position.
As soon as Zhang Zifeng's touch recovered, the 76ers' offense returned to normal.
22-33, under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers took an 11-point lead in the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Zifeng sat down to rest.Under the leadership of Lowry, the Raptors took the opportunity to play a 9-3 counterattack wave, and the Raptors were only 5 points behind.
Brett Brown quickly sent Zhang Zifeng back on the field.
Zhang Zifeng hit back with a three-pointer, Grant made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the 76ers opened the score again.
Lowry hit a three-pointer and led the team to bite the score.
The two sides each scored a few points, and then Zhang Zifeng succeeded in two singles against DeRozan, helping the 76ers lead 49-66 by 15 points at halftime.
猛龙队的洛里上半场得到16分；76人队的张子枫得到15分和4个篮板，朗多得到9分和5次助攻。
