professional shooting guard

Chapter 204 The First Show of Power
It's already early March, and there's only a month and a half left until the playoffs.

There have been 60 games now,
76人队至今只取得了27胜，33负数。距离活塞的31胜还有4个胜场的距离。

Now there are only 22 games left, and it will be very difficult to fill the gap of these 4 wins in the next games.

Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to improve his strength as soon as possible in order to help the team.

It is also because of this that after losing to the Wizards, he continued to practice at one o'clock in the morning, just to master the technique of post-up singles as soon as possible.

The video of Zhang Zifeng's additional training at [-]:[-] a.m. was posted on the Internet by the staff of the arena, which immediately aroused heated discussions.

This incident also alarmed the 76ers management.

In the beginning, Zhang Zifeng practiced his post-up singles technique, and Brett Brown knew about it.But he didn't expect that Zhang Zifeng would be so anxious to practice well, and would work so hard.

Zhang Zifeng is very valuable to the 76ers now. Brett Brown dare not allow Zhang Zifeng to train like this, otherwise he will be overtired and get injured. I'm afraid he will be criticized by the fans.

Brett Brown hurriedly asked the general manager to apply for a sum of money, and asked the assistant coach Lloyd Pierce, who was in charge of the team's technical guidance, to work overtime and stay up late watching Zhang Zifeng's training videos to find out Zhang Zifeng's mistakes in training.

In the training class the next day, Lloyd Pierce patiently explained to Zhang Zifeng the key points of the back-up singles technique.

"Whether it's inside or a guard, the post-up singles technique is very powerful for defensive players. Because the opponent is easily swayed by your fake moves, and the center of gravity is unstable. Then you can shoot! Jack, turn around When shooting. You have to remember to turn around quickly, and you have to block the opponent and create enough space for yourself to shoot..."

Zhang Zifeng listened carefully to Lloyd Pierce's explanation.

In addition to the explanation, Lloyd Pierce personally demonstrated several times of turning and shooting, and at the same time explained the main points of this movement to Zhang Zifeng.

After listening to the lecture, Zhang Zifeng started training again.

With the help of professionals, Zhang Zifeng feels that his efficiency has improved a lot, which is different from groping alone.

On the training ground, Zhang Zifeng practiced over and over again, and turned around so many times that his head was almost dizzy.

In this way, Zhang Zifeng started a new round of training.

Soon he was able to skillfully dribble with his back and carry Rose back step by step.

Ross is no longer surprised by Zhang Zifeng's progress speed, he knows Zhang Zifeng's hard work in training.

So it's normal to have such progress.

March 3, Wells Fargo Center Arena. The 5ers will face the Miami Heat on their home court.

This game will be broadcast live by TNT TV station, Barkley, Reggie Miller, Kenny Smith are sitting on the commentary stage at the game site

"Wade has been in good form in the last few games, but Zhang Zifeng has encountered some troubles recently. I think Zhang Zifeng will face the situation of being blown away by the Flash Wade tonight!" Kenny Smith said.

"Mark, I don't agree with your point of view. Didn't you read the recent news? In the last loss to the Wizards, Zhang Zifeng punished himself until one o'clock in the morning. This shows that Zhang Zifeng is very dissatisfied with his recent state, I have a hunch that he is going to break out in this game, and Wade is in trouble!" Reggie Miller shook his head and said.

"In this year's All-Star Game, it was said that there was a big conflict between Wade and Zhang Zifeng. It can be seen that Zhang Zifeng was resisted and isolated by the eastern players headed by Wade. Perhaps for Zhang Zifeng, today is a good opportunity, Of course I doubt he can beat Wade," Barkley interjected.

"The game is about to start, let's see if it was Wade who taught Zhang Zifeng to be a man, and Zhang Zifeng, who was still sitting at home, defeated Wade and regained face!"

Kenny Smith said and cast his gaze to the center of the field.

The referee blew his whistle and threw the ball into the air.

Noll and Whiteside touched the basketball almost at the same time, but Whiteside took advantage of his jumping advantage and pushed the basketball to the backcourt.

Zhang Zifeng rushed over when he saw the direction of the ball, but Wade took the advantage and got the ball first.

After getting the ball, Wade found that the 76ers had quickly retreated and there was no chance for a fast break, so he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

"Tonight I will teach you how to be a rookie!" Seeing Zhang Zifeng standing in front of him defending, Wade said.

"Take care of yourself first! Without your good friend James to help you back up. What qualifications do you have to succeed!" Zhang Zifeng snorted coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the ball in Wade's hand.

Wade dribbled the ball outside the 45-degree three-point line, his eyes fixed on Zhang Zifeng in front of him.

Although he disdains Zhang Zifeng in his mouth, in his heart, Wade is very afraid of Zhang Zifeng's defense.

Not to mention offensive scoring ability, this guy also has the defense that counts among the league guards.

Facing Wade, Zhang Zifeng did not dare to be careless at all. Although Wade is 34 years old, due to his age and the impact of injuries in recent years, he has rarely shown as crazy performances as he did in 0506, but the last few games His performance is good, with 25+ in a row.

He didn't want to be beaten by Wade today and become a laughing stock.

Signaling Whiteside to come up as a screen, Wade dribbled continuously under the crotch. Seeing that Whiteside had already stood still, Wade suddenly accelerated and rushed to the free throw line.

Just when Zhang Zifeng was about to keep up, he bumped into Whiteside.

"Wade threw off Zhang Zifeng and rushed inside!" Smith shouted when he saw it.

Noel, who was on the inside line, hurriedly moved his feet and came up to defend.

Seeing Noel, Wade suddenly used his famous lost step, and then took a long stride and a sideways dodge to pick the ball to the basket.

Although Noel's footwork is good, it is still slower than Flash Wade. Noel followed up from behind and when he wanted to block the shot, the ball had already flown to the basket.

After he landed, he could only watch helplessly as the basketball plunged into the hoop.

When Wade ran back after landing, he looked at Zhang Zifeng and said contemptuously, "Did you see that, rookie. You are too young!"

"Yes, I will let you remember today firmly. Old bird!"

When Wade ran back, Zhang Zifeng's voice reached Wade's ears.

Wade froze for a moment, then smiled disdainfully.

Reggie Miller smiled and said, "Wade played very proactively when he came up, and then he told Zhang Zifeng with practical actions that he is still the best shooting guard in the Eastern Conference!"

Zhang Zifeng speeded up and ran towards the half court and directly reached out to signal for the ball on the outside. McConaughey quickly passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng.

When Zhang Zifeng received the ball, it was a series of fake moves.But in front of the experienced Wade, Zhang Zifeng's actions were useless.

Wade yelled arrogantly in Zhang Zifeng's ear, "You can't break through, can you! What are you going to do? You can't do anything, can you?"

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Wade, Zhang Zifeng was just about to pass the ball, and when he organized an attack, he suddenly thought, I have been training hard, isn't there a way to break the deadlock when encountering this kind of thing?
No matter how good the off-court training is, you have to practice it in the game to know if it is useful. Isn't this the best opportunity?

Zhang Zifeng immediately turned his back to Wade, and at the same time arched his butt backwards. After arching out of the space, Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball and slammed into Wade who was still standing still.

"Don't try to score goals with a crappy back-up!" Wade said viciously behind him, trying to steal the ball from Zhang Zifeng's hand with his arm.

"Really?" Zhang Zifeng slapped the ball hard, and then he slammed his body backwards, not only interrupting Wade's intention, but also taking a step back.

It can be seen that Wade also looks like beating Zhang Zifeng tonight.Wade carried Zhang Zifeng tenaciously, easily denying Zhang Zifeng a chance to advance.

In a competition of strength, Zhang Zifeng is not afraid of Wade.

　I took a ride back early this morning, thinking that I could avoid the peak travel period.But obviously I was thinking too brightly.Depart at [-]:[-]am, arrive at [-]:[-]am.Then I took the bus back to the dormitory, it was almost ten o'clock.As soon as I came back, I lay on the bed and fell asleep, and I didn't get up until five or six in the afternoon.The whole biological clock is disrupted, and I am very tired after waking up.Hey, it’s impossible not to go home during the holidays, and it feels like a chore to go home!
