Chapter 162 Change a city alone!

Nowitzki smiled and said to Zhang Zifeng: "Jack, have you ever thought about coming to the Mavericks? You should have heard that our boss is very generous to the players. As long as you are willing to come to the Mavericks, you will definitely get the maximum salary!"

The Mavs want to invite themselves!
Zhang Zifeng froze for a moment, his mind naturally thought of this possibility.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zifeng knew in his heart that going to Mavericks was not his best choice.

If Nowitzki invited himself to join the Mavericks four or five years ago, at that time there was Kidd, Marion, and Chandler, Nowitzki was still at his peak, and the Mavericks were good inside and outside, maybe Zhang Zifeng will agree.

But now?Forget it!
Nowitzki is old, 38 years old this year.Although the sword is not old, it can no longer compete with others.

Although other players like Deron Williams and Wesley Matthews are capable, relying on them, it is difficult to even reach the second round, let alone hit the championship.

Coming to the Mavericks by yourself is simply impossible, not as good as the 76ers.

Although the 76ers are not strong now, as long as Embiid returns from injury next season, in exchange for a capable small forward, and adding himself, the 76ers will immediately become a strong team, competing with other powerful teams. Arm Wrestling.

Zhang Zifeng smiled and said to Nowitzki, "Hey, Dirk. You should know that I signed a 76-year contract with the 4ers. Now the first year has not been fulfilled, and the initiative is not in my hands. The deal You should ask Cuban to consult our team manager!"

Nowitzki immediately understood what Zhang Zifeng meant.

Nowitzki also knows that the Mavericks are not very attractive now, otherwise they would not release pigeons to others over and over again.

It's just that his boss, Cuban, is a guy who will never give up on Huang He. He insists on trading Zhang Zifeng, so he begged himself to invite him to test Zhang Zifeng's intentions.

Cuban has always been very kind to himself, and Nowitzki couldn't shirk it, so he came to extend an invitation to Zhang Zifeng.

Since Zhang Zifeng didn't have this plan, Nowitzki felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it.

The two chatted with each other for a few more words, and then dispersed to warm up and prepare for the competition.

With a whistle, the game officially started, and the referee threw the ball into the air.

Zaza Pachulia is tall, strong and tough, but not a good jumper.

Noel gave the ball to Zhang Zifeng with a clear advantage.

Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball steadily and pushed forward, facing Wesley Matthews.

Noel ran to the inside and competed with Pachulia for position, and Holmes pulled out to help Zhang Zifeng do a pick-and-roll cover.

Zhang Zifeng took the opportunity to get rid of Matthews and rushed inside.

Facing Zhang Zifeng who was rushing in, Nowitzki quickly stepped up to defend.

Nowitzki's defensive ability is not strong, but his enthusiasm is very high, and he does his best every time!

Seeing Nowitzki rushing over, Zhang Zifeng grabbed the basketball with both hands, jumped up and used his waist, and made a beautiful change of hand to pull the bar, and picked the ball to the basket with his left hand.

Nowitzki's raised hands only covered the air.

Commenting on the game tonight is ESPN's Mark Jackson and Mike Breen.

"Beautiful pick-and-roll cooperation, Zhang Zifeng used Noel's cover, went into the penalty area and faced Nowitzki for a layup!" Mike Breen said excitedly.

Zhang Zifeng raised his hand and ran back to the backcourt amid the chanting of the fans, to welcome the Mavericks' attack.

The Mavericks' offensive ball right was handed over to the team boss Dirk Nowitzki.

Nowitzki is facing Holmes. Any defensive player who faces Nowitzki can sometimes only pray that he feels cold in Nowitzki.

Receiving the ball at 45 degrees on the right, Nowitzki pushed Holmes inside with his back on his back.

Before the Mavericks won the championship in 09, people always criticized Nowitzki as a soft guy who could only shoot and dared not hit inside.

If someone still evaluates Nowitzki now, Holmes must spray him with water.

Damn, it doesn't hurt my back to stand and talk.You come and try Dirk Nowitzki.

Bang, Nowitzki made a solid impact, then turned around suddenly, and threw the ball out with his signature fadeaway jumper "Golden Rooster Independent".

Obviously, Nowitzki feels good today.

The ball fell into the basket cleanly, 2:2.

After receiving the serve, Zhang Zifeng pushed forward and faced Matthews again.

Wesley Matthews used to be an energetic scorer, accurate three-pointers, and good at post-ups.Strong and tough on defense, can defend from one to three.

But since he ruptured his Achilles tendon last season, he hasn't been as explosive as before.On the offensive end, the low post play also decreased, relying more on three-pointers.

After Zhang Zifeng's dazzling cross step, he swayed Swasley Matthews' defensive center of gravity and then easily shot a jumper, and the ball smashed into the basket cleanly.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng send the ball into the basket, there was a burst of cheers in the Wells Fargo Center Arena.

Mike Brin looked at Zhang Zifeng on the court and said with a smile, "It seems that Zhang Zifeng is in a good state this time, maybe Zhang Zifeng will let the Mavericks leave disappointed tonight!"

After landing, Nowitzki looked at the basketball passing through the rim, looked at Zhang Zifeng and shook his head and said, "Hey, buddy. I always thought that I shot very well, and now I can finally change this point of view."

Zhang Zifeng shrugged and said, "Sorry, this is our home game. We want to win!"

Off the court, the head coach of the Mavericks looked at Zhang Zifeng with envy. It would be great if this guy was his subordinate.

Pity!
The head coach of the Mavericks is envious, but Brown, the head coach of the 76ers, is very happy.

Zhang Zifeng performed well, and the team has hope of winning, so his coaching position will be stable!

Not only the head coach of the 76ers is very happy, but general manager Sam Hinch is also very happy.

With Zhang Zifeng's performance getting better and better, many media reporters and fans from Huaxia have come to Philadelphia to watch Zhang Zifeng's game.

Wells Fargo Center Arena is full of attendance every game, so every game there are people outside the arena trying to buy tickets at high prices.

The market value of the 76ers is also rising!

This season, Sam Hinch knows that his year-end bonus will not be low!
Not only is the team happy, but Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutt is also smiling during this time.

Since Zhang Zifeng joined the 76ers, a large number of fans have poured into Philadelphia, not only the occupancy rate of Philadelphia hotels has also increased.

And with the arrival of these tourists, many jobs have been created in Philadelphia.

Since the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, a large number of Philadelphia citizens lost their jobs and even became homeless. Unemployed people have found jobs again.

With jobs, fewer people roaming the streets, and crime in Philadelphia began to drop.

More importantly, Philadelphia's declining economy is slowly recovering.

The arrival of Zhang Zifeng has changed Philadelphia and revitalized the first heritage city in the United States!

Zhang Zifeng also received excellent comments from Michael Nutt, the current mayor of Philadelphia, during a press meeting recently.

In his talk that day, Michael Nutt focused on Zhang Zifeng's contribution and affirmation to Philadelphia's economic growth.

He said that he would appoint Zhang Zifeng as the Philadelphia Friendship Ambassador, and even planned to set the day when the 76ers selected Zhang Zifeng as the Philadelphia Zhang Zifeng Festival.
