Chapter 149 Doubts under the losing streak
On November 2015, 11, the 03ers continued to sit at home to face the Cavaliers.

Last season, James returned to the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers traded for Love and formed the Big Three with James and Irving. The Cavaliers advanced all the way and reached the finals.

Although in the finals, due to the absence of Love and Irving due to injuries, the Cavaliers finally lost to the Warriors.

But this season, Love and Irving returned from injury, the Cavaliers renewed JR-Smith, Tristan Thompson, and signed Richard Jefferson and Mo Williams.

Compared with last season, the Cavaliers' lineup this season is more complete and stronger.

The Cavaliers have won three consecutive games in the first three games of the new season, and the team leader James is very strong.

The Cavaliers in the away game did not feel tired because of the long journey. In the first quarter, the little emperor James completely blew up the 76ers.

When Thompson was marking James, he received two personal fouls early and had to sit down on the court depressed after 6 minutes in the first quarter.

Grant didn't play even a little bit to limit James' effect.

Zhang Zifeng watched James rampage on the court, leading the Cavaliers to smash the inside of the 76ers.

上半场结束骑士队就取得了22分的巨大领先优势，詹姆斯一个人就贡献了13分、8次助攻、5个篮板，2次封盖2次抢断的全能数据。

The 9 points and 4 assists contributed by Zhang Zifeng in the first half are completely incomparable with James.

When Zhang Zifeng walked off the court, he looked at James' muscular figure and was very envious. If only I had his physical fitness.Fuck, Lao Tzu has the confidence to lead 76 to the Eastern Conference semifinals this season.

However, it's good to think about this kind of thing.

During the intermission, coach Brown was also very depressed and helpless to see the team's performance.

But Coach Brown didn't blame anyone. In his eyes, the team's performance is normal.

The team lineup for the new season is very bad and very unreasonable.

With a regular lineup, you can't attack and you can't defend.

The small lineup that was helpless in the last game did not have the support of an excellent tactical system like the Warriors.

And if you want to play a small lineup, in addition to being an excellent point guard, the most important thing is to have a power forward in the lineup who can run, shoot, and can do four and five.

Just like there was Stoudemire in the Suns and Green in the Warriors.

Who is the current 76ers power forward?

Richaun Holmes!Jakarl Sampson!
As far as they are concerned, forget it.Can't support small ball tactics at all.

With the current lineup of the 76ers, when the hand feels good in one or two games, they can kill their opponents.

But when you really meet a strong team, it will show its true shape.

Brown patted Zhang Zifeng on the shoulders of several players, clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone don't care, we are not as good as each other, this is a fact. James is the No. A team that is chasing after the playoffs. I don’t ask you to win, it’s not realistic or practical. I just ask you to do your best in this game, and the fans don’t blame you!”

The 76ers, whose mentality was completely relaxed, played well at the beginning of the second half. They scored consecutive attacks and once narrowed the point difference to only 15 points.

Zhang Zifeng even broke through his opponent and made a layup when James ran over to help defend.

James, who has been in the league for more than ten years, certainly doesn't care about a layup.A smile appeared on his ugly face, and he said, "Good job. I like you, come on!"

"Thank you, I will!" Zhang Zifeng responded with a smile.

This layup brought confidence to Zhang Zifeng. He was no longer afraid of being blocked by his opponent. He successfully shot in front of James twice in a row, which made Zhang Zifeng extremely excited.

But when James got serious, the game was over.

At the end of the game, 112:91, the 76ers had to swallow their first loss of the new season.

Zhang Zifeng played 30 minutes and scored 18 points and 7 assists in the game. Compared with the previous two games, such statistics are undoubtedly heaven and earth.

Some reporters can't wait to attribute this state to Zhang Zifeng's real strength.

而反观骑士队的勒布朗得到22分、11次助攻、9个篮板、4次抢断和2次盖帽，他生涯总得分达到25001分，他成为史上第一位不到31岁就拿到25000分的球员。

After the game, James said to reporters, "I look forward to the next match against Zhang Zifeng. He is a player with great potential. In the future, he may be one of the top stars in the league."

Although the media criticized Zhang Zifeng's performance unanimously, Zhang Zifeng didn't care.

After being defeated by the Cavaliers, the 76ers rushed to challenge the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks with Kareem Parker and Greg Monroe as the core lineup gave the visiting 76ers a hard blow at home.

Before the game, Zhang Zifeng and Parker hugged each other, and then talked a few words.But in the game, Parker was relentless, scoring 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, leading the Bucks to a 91-87 victory over the 76ers.

The 76ers ushered in a two-game losing streak, and Zhang Zifeng, who had a mediocre performance in the previous game, performed even more sluggishly in this game.

He made 17 of 6 shots and only hit 10 goals in 3 shots from the three-point line. He scored a career-low 15 points and 6 assists. He was completely lost in the ice and snow of Milwaukee.

On November 2015, 11, the 07ers challenged the Cavaliers away.

克里夫兰骑士队延续连胜势头。勒布朗得到31分、14次助攻和4个篮板，杰弗森得到17分，小莫得到16分和8次助攻，他们带领球队在第三节打出小高潮，在主场以108-90战胜费城76人队。骑士队取得5连胜，76人队遭遇3连败。

76人队的诺尔表现出色得到18分、12个篮板和5次抢断，张子枫却只得到了13分4次助攻。

The three-game losing streak brought the 76ers back to their original shape.

Those media who questioned Zhang Zifeng before now saw that Zhang Zifeng's performance was worse than the previous one, and immediately stood up to criticize Zhang Zifeng.

"New York Times" - "Parallel imports?Zhang Zifeng

Zhang Zifeng's crazy performance at the beginning of the season surprised everyone, and many people praised the 76ers for making an extremely correct choice.

But after only two consecutive victories, the 76ers suffered a three-game losing streak.In these three games, Zhang Zifeng's performance was worse than the last.

This is determined by the physical fitness of the Asian yellow race, they lack lasting explosive power.Just like Jeremy Lin who once created Lin Madness, they can only play well in a few games, but more of them have mediocre data. The sixth talent on the bench is a suitable place for them.

Now it seems that the original choice of the 76ers was wrong. Zhang Zifeng is not worth choosing him with the precious third pick!

New York Post - "The Reality of a Losing Streak"

The 76ers team this season once believed that the Chinese Zhang Zifeng was the core of the team.But the facts proved that Zhang Zifeng obviously did not have such strength.He couldn't help the struggling 76ers rise again.

Maybe he can be a good helper next to Emperor Embiid, but he can't be a qualified team leader.

……

With a bad three-game losing streak, the 76ers ushered in the Orlando Magic, and they are about to face the Magic led by D'Angelo Russell.

On November 2015, 11, the Magic arrived in Philadelphia by plane.A reporter at the airport interviewed Russell, "D'Angelo, you are going to challenge the 07ers tomorrow night. Do you have any thoughts on Zhang Zifeng, a rookie who joined the NBA this year like you?"

D'Angelo Russell said unceremoniously, "I am looking forward to playing against him tomorrow. I will beat him in the game and use a victory to prove that I am better than him. I want to prove to Philadelphia It was a very stupid decision for him to choose the Chinese!"

D'Angelo Russell's tone was very arrogant. It could be seen that he was still worried about losing to Zhang Zifeng in the draft.

On November 2015, 11, Brown showed Zhang Zifeng the newspaper of the day, "Jack, that big-mouthed Barassell from the Magic team said he would blow you up during the game. Any ideas?"

Zhang Zifeng picked up the newspaper and read the content, looked up at Brown's coach and said, "Mr. Brown, I want to mark that bastard during the game!"
