professional shooting guard

Chapter 150
The Olado Magic have reemerged in the Eastern Conference since they selected Howard with the No. [-] pick.

But just like O'Neal left back then, since Howard's transfer, the Magic have started to rebuild again.

Drafting Russell with the fifth overall pick this summer, and then re-signing center Dewayne Dedmon, the Magic got off to a good start in the new season.

The record of three wins and two losses allowed the Magic to squeeze into the top eight in the Eastern Conference, ranking sixth.

Russell's big mouth has been hyped by the media. In today's duel, the duel between Zhang Zifeng and Russell is undoubtedly the focus of this round of competition.

Before the game, Brown said to Zhang Zifeng. "Jack, you have to work harder in this game, let that big mouth know how good you are here!"

Zhang Zifeng nodded, Russell dared to speak wildly, so he had no reason not to fight.

Beating that idiot and seeing his face after the game must have been a pretty good experience.

There are more and more fans in the Wells Fargo Center Arena, although the media has been belittling Zhang Zifeng.

But the 76ers can see Zhang Zifeng's efforts in every game. Most fans believe in Zhang Zifeng and believe that Zhang Zifeng will lead the 76ers to rise again.

They wore Zhang Zifeng's No. 14 jersey and cheered for him on the spot.

The game is about to start, and the live broadcast of this game today is TNT.

This game has attracted a lot of attention because of Russell's big mouth, and many people are full of expectations for this game. TNT sent three commentators, villain Barkley, big mouth Reggie Miller and Jet Smith.

The three sat on the commentary table on the technical side, and Smith asked first: "Charles, what do you think of today's game?"

The ass determines the head, and Barkley, who likes to fight inside, is not interested in the two teams that focus on the outside. "It should be a game of confrontation, but now the league's games are getting worse and worse. There is no defense, no inside fights, and some just floating outside shots. It's so boring!"

Miller, who is known for his key three-pointers, immediately retorted, "Charles, I don't agree with you. Now the league is more conducive to offense, the pace of the game is faster, and all kinds of exciting offenses continue in an instant. The game is getting better and better. !"

Barkley shrugged and said, "It's not adrenaline for me to play a game that doesn't have a lot of collision. It makes me comment without a little passion. Hey, man. I just bet on a football game. The game. Maybe we should focus more on the high-octane football game rather than the pussy game."

Smith said to Miller speechlessly, "Okay, audience, let's ignore what this flying pig thinks. Reggie, which team do you think is more likely to win tonight!"

Miller: "I watched a few games for the 76ers, and I noticed their rookie of the year, Zhang Zifeng. Well, the Chinese name is a mouthful. This rookie guard plays smart and has a really good shot! I believe that as long as he is given time to grow, he will definitely become a superstar!"

"Really, I don't think so. Let's not talk about the poor performance of the Chinese during this period. With his stature, I bet he will be blasted to pieces by Russell." Barkley said fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Smith smiled cunningly and said, "Charles, do you dare to make a bet!"

Seeing Smith's sly smile, Buckley thought of the unbearable past, and said with a dark face, "Kenny, let me tell you that I'm a good person now, and I've given up gambling!"

Reggie Miller sneered, "What's the matter, maybe our Charles will be scared too!"

Although Barkley knew that this guy was trying to provoke him, he still couldn't help shouting: "You think I'm going to be scared, come on! I bet he's going to be blown up by Russell today!"

Miller got the answer he wanted, and J smiled and said, "Charles, what are you going to bet this time?"

Buckley thought for a while, and said, "If I lose this time, I'll kiss Smith's ass, don't worry, I won't use a donkey to make up the numbers again this time! But if I win, what will I get?"

When Miller heard this, he immediately turned to look at Smith.

Smith yelled, "What are you looking at me for?"

Miller smiled sinisterly and said, "You were the one who asked to bet with Charles!"

Smith said: "When did I say I bet against him!"

Miller said: "I heard with my own ears that you said you were going to bet, Kenny, you have to know that this is a national broadcast. You don't want to go back on your word in front of a national audience!"

Smith knew that this was a trick for Miller, and wanted me to kiss Buckle's fat ass, and the thought of Smith gave him a chill.

He rolled his eyes. Buckley, the fat man, is the most greedy for money. Smith hurriedly said, "Charles wins, and I'll give him $5!"

As soon as he heard that he would get money if he won, Buckley immediately agreed, "Okay, I will do as you said!"

Miller opened his big mouth and said, "Okay, audience, everyone heard it. Our lovely Sir Charles is going to bet again. Everyone come to witness together to see whether he has avenged his shame today, or Gotta kiss Smith's ass again!"

Amidst the roar of laughter from the fans, the game began.

The Magic's starting lineup is: Point Guard: Elfrid Payton, Shooting Guard: Russell, Small Forward: Evan Fournier, Power Forward: Tobias Harris, Center: Germany Wayne Dedmon.

The 76ers' starting lineup is: Zhang Zifeng, Nick Stauskas, Jeremy Grant, Covington, Noll.

At the opening jump ball, Dedmon overwhelmed Noel and picked the ball to Russell.

The Magic's offensive ability has improved a lot this season, but its defensive ability has declined a lot.

Russell likes offense more than defense.

Before Russell was drafted, many experts believed that he had the strength of the top three.Being recognized by so many experts, Russell naturally has good strength.

In the frontcourt, Russell held the ball and looked at Zhang Zifeng who was defending in front of him. "Hey, Chinese Monkey. Get ready, I'm going to blast you!"

After speaking, Russell made a fake shot in front of Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng knew that this guy shot well, so he didn't dare to let him shoot, so he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his right hand high.

When Zhang Zifeng stepped forward, Russell seized the opportunity to dribble the ball across and accelerate to the inside to make a cut.

"Never let you go!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zifeng hurriedly retreated and slid sideways to keep up.

But in the NBA, defensive backs, if they don't keep up with the first step, they can basically let the opponent break into the paint.

The rest depends on whether the teammates can make up the defense successfully, and at the same time pray that the opponent can't make the shot.

It's a pity that the Magic teammates ran to both sides in order to open up space for Russell to play singles.

Noel was a step slower to make up the defense, and Russell rushed into the paint without hesitation and made a dunk.

Landing on the ground, Russell shouted arrogantly at Zhang Zifeng, "Hey, Chinese monkey, where is your defense? It is too easy to pass you. The 76ers are blind to pick you. You wait until after tonight Be ridiculed by the American media!"

Looking at Russell's arrogant face, Zhang Zifeng couldn't help but want to punch him.

Zhang Zifeng gave him a cold look, and said nothing. "You play like a pussy, just chatter."

Explaining Taichung, Barkley also happily yelled at Smith, "Hey, did you see it, man! That Chinese can't guard against Russell. 5 dollars, are you ready? I can't wait to see it for myself The smell of banknotes. Haha!"

"Charles, the game has just begun. Maybe Zhang Zifeng will turn the tables and win the next game!" Smith stared at Zhang Zifeng, thinking in his heart: "Boy, you'd better play hard for me. Otherwise, if I lose, in the future, as long as the I will try my best to hack you in your competition!"
