Chapter 39 Wharton's Rest Arrangement

11 month 6 day.

There was a knock on the door of Zheng Long's hotel, it was Wharton.Zheng Long was a little surprised by Wharton's arrival.

"After the team has discussed it, they are going to let you rest in the next game."

"Roll rest?"

"Yes, you. After all, you have suffered a leg injury. The schedule of the past few days is too intensive. In two days, you will play against the 76ers. The coaching team is a little worried about your health. I hope you can rest for a game. By the way Go for a medical checkup."

In the first four games, Zheng Long's average playing time was 39 minutes, ranking first in the team.

And the first in the league.

Zheng Long understood, "I can go for the physical examination tomorrow. But there is no need for a rotation, I can take it. I know my physical condition myself, it is very good."

Walton smiled wryly, "I understand your desire to play, but we still have another season to play. If we enter the playoffs, the schedule will be longer."

Zheng Long didn't speak, and didn't know how to explain for a while.

With my current physique, unless I am brain-dead and go to do some physical work, such as repairing the driveway of my house or something.

Injuries are almost non-existent.

Seeing that Zheng Long didn't speak, Walton continued, "I know you have a strong competitive spirit, and I'm worried about whether the team can win the 76ers. If we say that without you, we can't even win the current 76ers, then It's fucked."

The 76ers finally ushered in Embiid's comeback in the new season, but Simmons, who was just selected as the No. [-] pick this year, suffered a foot injury after his glory in the summer league and was directly reimbursed for the season.

Today's 76ers, following the loss of 30 teams last season, lost four games in a row at the start of this season, and once again embarked on the road to the top pick.

Zheng Long still wanted to persevere.

Wharton directly gagged his mouth.

"The rest is an arrangement of the coaching staff, sorry, you must obey."

Seeing that he couldn't be soft, Wharton had no choice but to be tough.

Now Zheng Long is the absolute core of the Lakers, and Zheng Long's health is already related to the future of the team.

and.

There is another reason for Zheng Long to rest in rotation.

That is to pave the way for the team's trade.

In the first four games, Zheng Long carried the game and the Lakers won.

Now it happens to be against the weakest 76ers, and the entire coaching team wants to see who can stand up when Zheng Long is absent.

Although there is only one game, it can also be used as a sample.

Kill two birds with one stone.

After Wharton said that, Zheng Long spread his hands, a little helpless, but he also said, "I still want to be included in the list. Something went wrong, and I want to play."

I don't want to sit on the bench and watch the team lose.

The NBA has a rule that if a player who is declared injured and unable to play before the game does not play at the start of the game.

Then you can't play the game of the day.

Wharton smiled, "No problem. But I bet $10 that you won't have a chance to play."

The next day, Zheng Long participated in the physical examination arranged by the team doctor.

At the same time, Wharton also came to the temporary training arena and informed the Lakers players that Zheng Long will take turns to rest in the next game due to tight hip muscles.

The expressions of the players were different, Russell and others were surprised, Ingram was worried that Nick Young was extremely excited, and Zheng Long was injured and missed the game. Doesn't this mean that he has a chance to start? !

then.

Walton announced that Clarkson will start at shooting guard for the next game.

Nick Young:
Wharton had a panoramic view of the players' expressions, and said loudly, "Boys, Zheng Long is not here. His lack of firepower needs to be filled by you. We must work hard to win five consecutive victories!"

The Lakers players looked at each other and knew that this was an opportunity.

This is an opportunity to show yourself.

The big brother of the team is already obvious, and no one can shake Zheng Long's status.

But the second child is not confirmed yet!Whoever performs well will have a chance!
In the training that day, the players worked extremely hard.

11 month 10 day.

Wachovia Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The team is named after the American Independence Day in 1776.

As one of the most successful teams in NBA history, the Philadelphia 76ers have many Hall of Famers and 3 NBA championships in team history.

Of course, there is still no comparison with the Los Angeles Lakers.

As of this season, the Boston Celtics have won 17 NBA championships, and the Los Angeles Lakers have won 16 times.

Then there was a cliff-like decline, with the Chicago Bulls 6 times, the Warriors 5 times, and the Spurs 5 times.

The next one is the Philadelphia 76ers' 3 times, tied with the Miami Heat and the Pistons.

Being able to win 30 championships from among 3 teams is considered extremely successful. There are more than a dozen teams in the NBA. For decades, a single championship has not been won.

In the 2000-2010 season at the beginning of this century, the 76ers were brilliant. They relied on Allen Iverson to break into the NBA Finals.

When the season also set a record, the regular season MVP, the best coach of the year, the best defensive team DPOY and the best sixth man were all taken by them.

In the 2011-12 season, as the eighth place, they met the Bulls led by Ross, who was ranked first in the league.

Rose suffered a torn cruciate ligament in G1 and was reimbursed for the season.

The Bulls who lost Rose were completed black eight by the 76ers.

Although it is a black eight, it is dubbed by the fans as the weakest team among all the black eight miracles.

Then, the 76ers fell into a bad fight for the No. 14 pick, Joel Embiid, the No. 15 pick in 16, Jahlil Okafor, the No. [-] pick in [-] years, and Ben Simmons, the No. [-] pick in [-].

Originally, the fans thought that the 76ers would take off this season. As a result, they lost 4 games in a row.

In the last game, they defeated the Eagles by 32 points.

The 76ers in the new season seem to be stuck in the race for the No. [-] pick again, and the home fans are disappointed with the team.

Especially the older fans from the "Answer" days.

Can not accept.

7pm.

Pre-match press conference.

When Wharton finished the interview.

76ers head coach Brett Brown walked into the venue and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for questions from reporters.

The old assistant coach of the Spurs, who has been with the Spurs for more than ten years, finally got the chance to head coach in 13 and came to the 76ers.

Then he led the team for three consecutive years and achieved impressive results.

Two candidates, one champion!
Looking at the entire history of the NBA, there is no second head coach who can achieve such achievements.

Fans affectionately called him "a rotten artifact" behind his back.

Brett Brown, who has experienced nearly [-] times of post-match defeat and torture, has been able to control his emotions freely in front of reporters.

No matter what questions these bullshit reporters ask, they can't shake my emotions!
Brett thought so.

Then, the reporter's first question made him lose expression control.

"Dear Mr. Brown, what do you think about the fact that Zheng Long, the current core player of the Lakers, is about to miss today's game?"

"What? Why don't I know!"

"Mr. Wharton just told us. Zheng Long's buttock muscles are tense, and he is doubtful to play."

Brett was unable to control his emotions for a while. After losing four games in a row, the negative emotions within the team had reached the verge of collapse.

Desperately need a win!
But facing the Lakers with Zheng Long, Brett had a very headache, and practiced several tactics against Zheng Long before the game.

As a result, when the game was approaching, you told me that Zheng Long would not play.

It is worry, but also joy!

At this time, Brett just wanted to go back to the locker room to arrange a new tactic, and the dawn of a victory seemed to be in sight.

Although the 76ers fell to one last season, the Lakers fell to second.

But in the game between the two sides, the 76ers were lucky to win!
Brett is worried about missing a target for two wins this season.

"Zheng Long is a very talented player. I am very sorry for his absence."

Brett tries to put on a sad face.It's a pity that the crazy upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his mood.

The reporters in the audience couldn't help cursing hypocrisy in their hearts.

The reporter continued to ask, "The team has now suffered a four-game losing streak. Against the Lakers who have won four games in a row, are the players confident of winning the game?"

"Have confidence! The team's goal this season is to look brand new!"

In three years, Brett has never felt so confident in his speech.Sonorous and powerful!
On the other side, Walton returned to the locker room after the interview.

It also boosts the morale of the players.

And Zheng Long is wearing a black suit today. With his broad shoulders and perfect body proportions, he wears a suit and has deep eyes, giving him the feeling of a black boss.

When Wharton was speaking, he glanced at Zheng Long in the corner from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt as if a godfather was staring at him as he spoke, and his voice became much weaker.

this kid.

Even if you don't play basketball, it's no problem to go to Hollywood with this good looks.

The next Leonardo.

wrong.

next jason statham
7:[-] p.m.

The game starts on time.

When the on-site commentary announced the starting of the two sides.

There was a sigh.

They were all Lakers fans who came to watch Zheng Long's game.

"Fake! I drove 500 kilometers to see Zheng Long's game! Refund the ticket!"

"Now the NBA is so bad, the stars take turns to take turns, are we worthy of our fans!"

"Stop arguing, haven't you seen the news that Zheng Long's hip muscles are tense?"

"Hehe, okay, don't learn, just learn from Popovich, right?"

The fans scolded and scolded, the game still has to be watched.

Coming out of the player tunnel, Zheng Long, who heard the fans scolding, couldn't help touching his nose.

I feel a little guilty.

Damn, I won't take turns off next time.

When Zheng Long sat down next to the players' seats, two fans behind him asked Zheng Long with concern.

"It's okay, Zheng Long, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"Come on Zheng Long! I love you so much!"

"Although I can't see you on the court today, I will always support you in front of the TV!"

Zheng Long turned around to greet the two fans in a smug manner.

Looking for a hole to dig into.

motherfucker.

It's really uncomfortable to live up to the expectations of the fans!

Then, something more embarrassing for Zheng Long happened.

Kendall Jenner is at it again!

He just sat in the auditorium closest to him.

Zheng Long turned his head silently.

On the other hand, Jenna saw Zheng Long in a suit at a glance, and was impressed by Zheng Long.

Today's Zheng Long is more handsome than those Hollywood young meats who rely on their faces for food. Moreover, with a height bonus, it adds a touch of domineering.

I'm so hungry.
Beep---

On the court, the referee's whistle sounded.

The game has officially started, the Lakers, Russell, Clarkson, Ingram, Randall, Nance Jr.

Philadelphia 76ers, Rodriguez, Gerald Henderson, Covington, Saric, Embiid.

Zheng Long's gaze was naturally attracted by Embiid, who had the appearance of a super center in the last century.

Why do I have a bad premonition today?
(Some people say that I am short, um, I am a bit busy at work these two days, the last two days at the end of the quarter, and Saturday will be longer)
