Kapitel 22: Getting "super defense", Mabry: I don't know him
It was late at night when we arrived at our hotel in New York.
Zeng Zhen turned down Odom and Bynum's invitation to go to a nightclub.
Zeng Zhen was different from them, both of them had their position in the team established and could be very wavy, he couldn't yet, he still had to keep working hard. Later on, when the position is a bit more solid, then come back to wave is also OK.
"Breezing against Iverson, Soga Jin scores 44 points to prove himself!
"The Rookie Who Threatened to Outlast Jordan Explodes.
"Zeng Zhen Leads Lakers to 4 Straight Wins as Lakers Fall One Win Short of Top 8.
"Kirby's Injury, Zeng Zhen's Usurpation!
"Superstar Shoots 76ers with Shot!
All the major media outlets have been covering the game as well.
Zeng Zhen's sparring match with Iverson made many people who wanted to see him being educated by Iverson facepalm.
Facing the established supergiant, Zeng Zhen as a rookie didn't get abused, instead he put up a great performance and led his team to a win. He and Iverson just blew each other away!
The game with the Knicks was the day after tomorrow, and Zeng Zhen arrived at the team's rented training ground at 9:00 a.m. the next morning to begin practice.
....
The first to arrive at the practice field was Zeng Zhen, while all the other Lakers had yet to arrive.
Zeng Zhen also know, although the team has rules, come to the away game can not go to the nightclub those places, but Odom, Bynum, those players must have gone to the nightclub last night, this point they simply can not get up.
In the case of the Zen Master's away game without arranging group training, they are not so self-disciplined. Zeng Zhen didn't pay attention to the others, he firmly felt that doing his own thing would definitely pay off.
Zeng Zhen didn't go for shooting practice right away, but prepared to do defensive footwork and strength training first.
In the matchup with Iverson, Zeng Zhen found his problems on the defensive end.
Shooting he's strong enough, he just needs to keep it up, it's his defense he needs to shore up.
Zeng Zhen isn't slow, but Iverson can step over him.
In the future, such a defense is highly likely to be targeted, or even hit by a list of spots, when it comes to stronger matchups.
There are a few main ways that NBA players train their defense.
Core strength training, no matter how experienced or skilled a defense is, is at its most basic level a core confrontation.
Then there's the slide drill, which is the most basic defensive technique to maintain a defensive position against an opponent by standing with both feet parallel to each other and alternating between moving and sliding.
This is followed by singles defense drills, which are practiced in pairs, with one person dribbling the ball while the other performs singles drills, a drill that strengthens a player's defensive ability and reaction time.
Or anti-receiving training, a group of two people, a certain distance apart, the ball carrier passes the ball to another player, immediately step up to grab the ball, the requirements of the defender to step up quickly, hand and foot coordination and cooperation, cut the ball movement to standard.
-. -.
Zeng Zhen also went to the strength room to start his core strength training.
After thirty minutes, Zeng Zhen sat down panting. Zeng Zhen rested for a while before continuing his input.
Zeng Zhen was able to feel his obvious advantage in physical fitness, and even with the high intensity training, his ability to sustain his physical fitness was very strong. If an ordinary person were to do these trainings, it was estimated that they would have to get down in 10 minutes.
After practicing strength for an hour, Zeng Zhen went back to practicing skating.
Zeng Zhen put the shooting practice at the end, mainly because he felt that shooting was just like resting.
Just today Zeng Zhen training volume is obviously a little bit large, after first experiencing strength training and sliding training, his physical fitness is also very fast decline, in the shooting training spent a little bit longer.
Zeng Zhen trained hard all day, and he was used to such a hard pace.
At the end of the training, Zeng Zhen returned to the hotel and after lying on the bed.
He heard a system alert.
"Clang, the host has comprehended primary defense skills during training and mastered the ability: "Super Defense LV1 (upgradeable, full level 10)""
"Super Defense: 2% increase in all defense-related attributes, with a small probability of a 100% increase in defense-related attributes in individual rounds of the match!"
"What are the upgrade conditions?"
Zeng Zhen asked.
"Receive a reward card either for continuous training, or for the host to comprehend through competition experience."
"OK."
"Does this ability's attribute increase stack with steals?"
"It does not stack, and whoever increases more when using it chooses the higher increase.
"Uh-huh."
A full level 10 defense skill, and only level 1 himself.
But it's a 2% boost in attributes at level 1, so it's better than nothing, that burst increase is more interesting.
It is equivalent to doubling all attributes.
Just thinking about it, I know that the probability of trying to pop a seed with such a low level ability shouldn't be high either.
Zeng Zhen was also content, he could feel himself slowly improving, which made him more motivated.
TNT Studio.
Barkley, Smith, Cole, and Miller talked about Zeng Zhen on a show.
Barkley said, "Let's talk about the Lakers' recent hot rookie had."
Smith asked, "Charles, you've watched Tseng for so many games, what do you think his ceiling is?"
Said Barkley: "I still maintain my opinion that I think he could develop into a scorer like Ray Allen, but of course, his defense may not be as good as Ray Allen's, and his defensive ability dictates that he could be a defensive hole for a team."
Barkley's opinions change in real time, and Miller wants to laugh as soon as he hears Barkley's opinions.
When commentating on the game, Barkley but often shouted that Zeng Zhen will become the one who surpassed Jordan.
Miller also said, "Tseng's strength on the offensive end is his shooting, whether it's three-pointers or two-pointers, he's very consistent, it's just that he's a little bit weaker in terms of his breakout ability versus his ability to kill at the basket, which limits his ceiling, and he doesn't have the ability to be a ball-handler in key moments."
Barkley went on to say: "Through these games, opponents will also be more and more defensive on his shooting, when it is bound to increase the physical confrontation to him, on his body plate, encounter that kind of high-intensity confrontation, the hit rate will also decline, which is why I think that his highest ceiling is to become a Lei Allen-like shooter, of course, this also shows that his shooting is already great enough , and that's something I recognize."
Cole said, "I don't think so, your point of view is more to put him in the point guard to observe, analyze the player can't leave the team he belongs to to analyze, especially the rookie, his development is closely related to the development of the team."
Cole seems to seem to have a point.
Buckley said, "Oh, Steve, so what do you think?"
Cole said, "Let's take a look at the Lakers' lineup, so far, Phil put him on the bench, playing the position of two-way guard, let Zeng play the bench, not his ability is not good, but the Lakers need the second lineup to have a fire point, Zeng played the bench, but his last two games of the highest playing time of the team, and then from time to time, also guest guard, which can also see that Phil on his trust."
Miller said, "Can you be succinct?"
Kerr said: "You forget the key one, Kobe, if Kobe comeback, the Lakers' lineup and playing style will be completely different from now, had will still be the bench?
Will he be the Lakers starting 1?
As it stands right now, Tseng is probably the best fit to partner with Kobe at the 1."
Smith said, "Indeed, had put into the Lakers' No. 1 position to see then, he and the traditional point guard and not the same, he is very do not take possession of the ball, he for the defense of the pulling power is also very big, the opponent may be on Kobe's defense pressure will be reduced."
Cole smiled, "I'm looking forward to having teamed up with Kobe."
Whether it's Zeng Zhen or Kobe, they both have a strong defensive hold, and by the time Kobe comes back, the Lakers could be a different level of team, and then the Lakers are well worth looking forward to!
Next day.
Lakers-Knicks pre-game press conference. Both sides came back to putting words in each other's mouths.
A reporter asked Stephon Marbury, the All-Star player and nominal boss of the Knicks. "Steph, the Lakers' had said they were going to surpass Michael, what do you think?"
That statement has become the beginning of those media picks.
Mabry said, "I'm sorry, I've never heard of this guy." Mabry's attitude was kind of condescending and scornful.
As a four-time All-Star and two-time Best XI selection, Marbury never put a rookie in his eyes, and he had clearly heard of Zeng Zhen's name, but he acted disdainfully.
He felt like he could easily blow this rookie away.
Marbury's personality can be described as brash and lone wolf style, he grew up with high expectations from his parents and older siblings, but his personality also made him unlikeable to his teammates at times.
Teammates don't like him, but the media does.
The media loves this kind of player who creates buzz now. It's all about traffic.
Another reporter said emphatically, "He cut 44 points against AI in the last game."
Marbury went on to say, "There are so many players who can slash 40+ that I can't possibly remember everyone." "Click, click, click!"
It was as if the media reporters were all pumped up.
They continue to pick fights as they go to the other side and find another Knicks player. A reporter asked Eddie Curry about it.
Since coming to the Knicks, Eddy Curry has gotten as fat as a ball, but he's still confident, saying, "As long as that rookie dares to come inside, I won't hesitate to fan him out, but the way I see his style, he shouldn't dare to come inside, haha."
Reporters continue to get high.
Even though Zeng Zhen has played a few good games now, he still doesn't get recognized that easily by his opponents.
Many people even felt that those who defended Zeng Zhen before were too soft.
Defending a shooter shooting is just a matter of sticking to him and not giving him a chance.
Their theoretical knowledge is solid.
Reporters quickly relayed Marbury's words to Zeng Zhen and posted them on the internet as well.
The reporter asked, "How do you respond to Stephon Marbury saying he doesn't know you?"
Zeng Zhen laughed, "He doesn't know me, but I know him, the one nicknamed 'Lone Wolf', right?"
Fark.
It's a direct war!
This rookie is so inviting.
"!"
The press continued to get high.
They enjoyed the dislike scene.
Reporters but more and more like Zeng Zhen, Zeng Zhen bring their own flow of topics, in the interview never soft mouth.
Zeng Zhen practiced the attitude of you respect me a foot, I respect you a foot this kind of, you are not polite to me, I do not play any high emotional response with you, just dislike you.
The Madison Square Garden Arena in New York was packed with people, including many Chinese faces.
Los Angeles rookie Zeng Zhen's superb performance in the NBA has made many Chinese proud.
A lot of people, when they meet Chinese people and talk to them, the topic opens up with how well Zeng Zhen is playing and so on.
So despite the fact that it's not cost-effective to watch the Knicks play in New York, these Chinese fans are still very active in coming out to support them.
This has been a very special season for the Knicks.
From a lineup perspective, the Knicks have a more balanced lineup with power players such as Allan Houston, Marbury, Eddy Curry, Davis, and Crawford.
However, due to player injuries and internal conflicts, the team's record has not been good, and is currently ranked in the bottom three in the East.
From a payroll perspective, the Knicks have a payroll of $120 million this season, exceeding the league's salary cap limit. Alan Houston's overpaid, toxic contract with Marbury puts the Knicks at a huge disadvantage in terms of player trades and additions.
In other words, it's their players who are well paid and have all the individual ability, but blended together they have problems.
Locker room.
After warming up and coming back, Zeng Zhen also started to put on his jersey gear.
As he passed by, Zeng Zhen accidentally touched Smashpark's leg, resulting in Smashpark grunting coldly, and it was clear that he was not happy with Zeng Zhen.
Zeng Zhen verbally apologized, but Smash Parker still had a look of displeasure on his face and Zeng Zhen ignored him.
Zeng Zhen was not emotionally unintelligent despite his rushing words in the face of the interview, and he could sense that Smash Parker was upset with him. He also knew what it was about.
At its core, it's all about profit.
Smushparker was originally occupying a pretty consistent 35-ish minutes of playing time for the Lakers, but in the games that Zeng Zhen has exploded into the spotlight, his average playing time has dropped to 25 minutes per game.
Zeng Zhen's presence clearly compromised Smashpark's interests.
Although he knew the reason, Zeng Zhen would not change something.
The NBA itself is full of underdogs and whoever is better is on top.
Having experienced life as a bottom feeder, Zeng Zhen looks at all this competition rationally....
Grand entrance ceremony.
Zeng Zhen has also seen the luxury of Madison Garden Arena.
The Knicks don't have a great record, but their arena attendance is absolutely stellar, and this game was packed. There were a bunch of stars there in the front row as well.
A lot of people are also running to Zeng Zhen.
Zeng Zhen is the star of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles media for Zeng Zhen touting and publicity is also enough in place. Those who like to watch the stars thought to come to see how this popular fried chicken is playing.
Still, Zeng Zhen enjoyed a grand booing in the middle of his entrance ceremony.
Zeng Zhen's famous line about surpassing Jordan was so influential that many Jordan fans wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
