Chapter 279 A Fatal Mistake (Part [-])
Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Zhang Zifeng overwhelmed Anderson and scored with a dunk. Now the 76ers are only 3 points away. There are 46 seconds left, and the 76ers still have hope!"

Zhang Lili went on to say: "Yes, as long as the 76ers can defend against the Rockets' next attack, there is great hope for a reversal and victory! In the next round, if there is no accident, Harden will attack. Zhang Zifeng needs Be on the defensive!"

Offensive and defensive transition, this offense is very critical, Harden took the ball to the frontcourt by himself.

Dribbling forward to the frontcourt, Harden did not rush to attack.He wanted to suppress the rhythm, trying to slow it down.

Zhang Zifeng and Beverly entangled the whole game. In the fourth quarter, in order to restrain Harden, Zhang Zifeng used running to prevent Harden from receiving the ball.

Now Zhang Zifeng is very tired.

But for the sake of defeating the game, Zhang Zifeng could only grit his teeth and persevere!
Zhang Zifeng moved his steps back and forth, using experience to judge the card position in advance.

Capela came up, and Harden used the screen to get inside.

"Noel, quick, change defense!" Zhang Zifeng yelled, and immediately bypassed Capela, desperately chasing Harden.

Harden didn't pass the ball, and he believed he could handle it.Facing Noel, Harden turned forward and swung the ball to his left hand with a large swing.

Speeding up, a big stride flashed past Noel, rushed into the penalty area, and picked the ball to the basket with his left hand.

Harden is left-handed, and it is more beneficial for him to layup with his left hand.

Watching the basketball fly to the basket, Harden smiled.But suddenly his smile stopped, and he saw a big yellow-skinned hand appear above the basketball.

The ball has left his hand, and it is impossible to avoid this block.Harden could only watch helplessly as the big hand slapped the basketball.

Snapped!
Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Beautiful block! Zhang Zifeng's timing is very good. The 76ers still have a chance."

"Oh no, the dropped ball was caught by Beverly!"

Beverly, who grabbed the rebound, immediately made a small throw before Ibaka rushed up.

Watching the ball fly over your head, watching the ball hit the backboard and fall to the basket.Zhang Zifeng was full of helplessness.

"Beverly made a shot and scored! There are only 20 seconds left in the game, the Rockets lead by 5 points, and the 76ers are in danger!"

Saw the rebound being grabbed by Beverly, Brett.Brown was so angry that he almost rushed onto the court and yelled at several inside players.

Now there are only 20 seconds left in the game, 5 points behind, and the situation is grim.Brett.Brown quickly called a timeout.

Taking advantage of the pause, Zhang He understood and said, "This time, Zhang Zifeng has done everything he can.But it's a pity that his teammates made mistakes at the most critical moment, allowing Beverly to grab this key rebound and score the ball.Zhang Zifeng's efforts were wasted. '

Yu Jia also said, "Now there is only one second left in the game. In addition to scoring a goal and then fouling quickly, the 76ers also expect the Rockets to miss free throws."But there is still hope for the 76ers. After all, too many miracles have been born in the NBA, like the Miller moment with 8 seconds in a row, like the McGrady moment with 8 points in 35 seconds. I hope Zhang Zifeng will also be there today. Create a Zhang Zifeng moment. '

Brett.Brown held the tactical board and shouted, 'Now we are running out of time, we must take a risk to shoot three points.Of course, the opponent will not easily give us a chance. Let’s start with Jack to shoot, but the opponent will not easily give us this opportunity. No matter who catches the ball at that time, we will shoot if we have the opportunity. Don’t hesitate.understand'

The 76ers players nodded in unison.

Now it's time to shoot the three, Brett.Brown sent Zhang Zifeng, the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the team, Saric, Stauskas, and McConaughey all on the field in one breath.Only Ibaka is left in the paint to grab rebounds.

After the timeout, the Rockets also said that Harden was replaced and Gordon was replaced.

It seems that D'Antoni is also very aware that Harden's defense is unreliable.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Zhang Zifeng ran quickly.

The Rockets know that Zhang Zifeng is the most threatening one in the 76ers.

Anderson teamed up with Beverly to double-team Zhang Zifeng, not giving him a chance to catch the ball.

Zhang Zifeng was in a hurry because he failed to get out of the open space after two rounds.

It is a violation of the serve for 5 seconds, and if you don't run out of the open space, you will have no chance.

Zhang Zifeng yelled, 'TJ, cover. '

With the help of McConaughey's cover, Zhang Zifeng threw off Anderson, leaving only Beverly behind.

Zhang Zifeng stopped suddenly, stuck Beverly behind him, was about to catch the ball first, and then suddenly stepped back to shoot a jumper.

Resisting Beverly hard behind him, Zhang Zifeng stretched out his hand to signal the pass.

Ibaka saw the ball and passed it immediately.

Zhang Zifeng habitually arched his butt back, trying to knock Beverly away to create space, and turned around and stepped back to shoot a jumper.

But what Zhang Zifeng didn't expect was that Beverly's thief was going to die.

When Zhang Zifeng arched his butt back, Beverly suddenly took a step back.

Zhang Zifeng couldn't find a point of focus, and suddenly couldn't maintain his center of gravity.

Under the shocked eyes of the 76ers fans in the audience, Zhang Zifeng fell backwards.

Seeing the ball fly towards him, he fell backwards.

In a panic, Zhang Zifeng fell down, desperately trying to catch the basketball, retaining the last bit of hope.

But it's a pity that basketball is like a naughty child, and Zhang Zifeng can't catch it.

Zhang Zifeng, who fell to the ground, could only watch helplessly as Beverly rushed forward to grab the ball, then launched a fast break and made a one-stop layup.

Yu Jia shouted in surprise, 'Ah... Zhang Zifeng missed the ball and fell down.Beverly made a steal and made a layup. The 76ers are already 7 points behind. '

There are only 14 seconds left, and they are still 7 points behind. Unless McGrady is possessed and Miller reappears, there is really no way to reverse the situation at this time.

It's just that we can't give up hope until the last game arrives.

Brett.Brown called a timeout again and arranged a new attack tactic.

Back from the timeout, Ibaka still serves.

In order to make up for the mistake just now, Zhang Zifeng worked harder this time.

Using the cover of TJ and Stauskas, Zhang Zifeng finally received the ball on the left.

It should be the coach of the Rockets telling his players not to foul and not to give the opponent a chance to add penalties.

This time, Beverly wasn't as tight as before.

Zhang Zifeng jumped up and shot.

To the disappointment of all the fans, Zhang Zifeng shot the ball too hastily, without the usual shooting rhythm at all.

The ball hit the basket, bounced high, and flew out of bounds.

With only 10 seconds left, the Rockets sent the baseline ball again.

Harden came up again, Zhang Zifeng and Ibaka's colleagues chased Harden.

Anderson finally passed the ball to Beverly, and Rondo quickly fouled.

This time Beverly withstood the pressure and made 2 of 2 free throws.

With only 9 seconds left in the game, but 1 points behind, everyone knew the game was over.

In the last moments left, the 76ers are not attacking anymore.

Soon the whole game ended, the Rockets withstood the 76ers' counterattack in the final quarter, and they defeated the Philadelphia 113ers 106-76 away.

The Rockets ended their two-game losing streak, and the 76ers' winning streak ended.

76人队的朗多得到的13分和9次助攻，格兰特得到的12分，4个篮板。沙里奇得到14分和5个篮板，诺尔得到10分和13个篮板。

Although Zhang Zifeng scored 19 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a triple-double in this game.

But Harden's performance was even more eye-catching. He got the first player in history to get at least 50 triple-doubles in a single season, 51 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds.

卡佩拉得到17分和6个篮板，安德森得到的11分和5个篮板，贝弗利得到13分钟次助攻。

After the game, the CCTV live commentator made a post-match summary.

Yu Jia asked, "Director Zhang, what do you think is the main reason for the failure of the 76ers?"

Zhang Lili said, "Weak offense is unintentionally the biggest problem for the 76ers right now."After Embiid was injured, the 76ers lost an inside player who could open up space and contribute 20+ per game.Now the 76ers don't have a player who can replace Embiid well.No matter how good Zhang Zifeng is, it's impossible for him to score thirty or forty points every game.After Zhang Zifeng's bad touch, who can stand up and help the team take up the scoring task is a problem that the 76ers need to solve now. '

Yu Jia continued to ask, "Then Director Zhang, how do you think the 76ers should solve this problem under the current situation?"

Zhang Lili said, "After Embiid was injured, the 76ers tried to play a small lineup, and the effect was good.However, a small lineup consumes too much physical energy and cannot support the entire audience. What the 76ers can do now is to design reasonable tactics and let the whole team participate in the offense.Or through trading to enhance the strength of the team. '

Yu Jia turned to look at the live broadcast station and said, "Okay, thank you Director Zhang for your wonderful comment..."

With the end of the game, Zhang Zifeng also walked into the locker room in frustration as the fans left the field in frustration.

He didn't feel good, made too many mistakes, and when he encountered a defensive player like a mad dog, the whole court was out of his control.

Zhang Zifeng simply cleaned up and was ready to attend the press conference.

When you perform well, the press will praise you to the sky, and dare to write all kinds of shameless compliments.

But once you behave badly, they can step on the ground and make things difficult for you.

Zhang Zifeng took a deep breath, then walked into the press conference with a calm face.

At this time, the two pairs of coaches are already being interviewed by reporters.

In addition to bringing Harden to the press conference, D'Antoni also brought another hero, Patrick.Beverley also brought to the press conference.

A reporter from the Houston Post was the first to ask, "Mr. Patrick, your defense today was excellent. You successfully restricted Zhang Zifeng and helped the team win."Can you briefly talk about your opinion on today's opponent Zhang Zifeng'

Beverly said, 'To be honest, Zhang Zifeng is a tough guy.It's a tough challenge against a scorer like him, who can attack from anywhere on the court at any time.All I can do is stay vigilant all the time and don't give him easy shots. '

Then Harden and D'Antoni also spoke highly of Zhang Zifeng.

'Coach Brett, how did you see Zhang Zifeng's performance in this game.Do you think the team's failure was mainly due to Zhang Zifeng's last mistake? ' asked the New York Times reporter, standing up.

Brett.Brown put all the responsibility on himself, and he said, "No, no, no, everyone can see how outstanding Zhang Zifeng's performance this season is. Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, he has brought the team a lot." Come of great help.He didn't perform well today, mainly because he was out of form.But even Zhang Zifeng, who is not in the state, can still get a triple-double, which proves how good he is.As for the loss of this game, it is mainly my responsibility. I did not prepare enough before the game, which made it difficult for us to attack in the game.That's the main reason why we ended up losing games at our home turf. '

Seeing Zhang Zifeng walk in, the reporters quickly turned their attention away from head coach Brett.Brown's body was transferred to Zhang Zifeng's body.

Obviously Zhang Zifeng was the one they were eager to interview.

A white reporter stood up and asked, 'Zhang, hello.I'm a reporter from the New York Post. In this game, you performed very badly. On the offensive end, Beverly restricted you, and on the defensive end, you were blown out by Harden.What do you think about this game. '

Zhang Zifeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think anyone likes to fail, and I really, really hate failure."But the reality is that we lost the game at home, which is a pity.The Rockets played better than us, which is the main reason for our loss. '

Another reporter stood up and continued to ask, "Zhang, Harden is your main opponent this season. Whether it is shooting guard or MVP competition, you are both direct opponents."May I ask, what do you think of Harden? '

As soon as this question came out, the audience immediately fell silent.

They were looking forward to how Zhang Zifeng would answer this question, and their ears perked up.

Brett on the side.Brown also looked at Zhang Zifeng with a little worry. He was worried that Zhang Zifeng would affect his emotions because of the loss of the game. If he said controversial words here, it would only push him to the forefront.

After looking at Harden, Zhang Zifeng said with a smile, "There is no doubt that James is a very good player, and he can rank among the top five active players in the league." '

Zhang Zifeng's answer was very official, and the reporter department in the audience was obviously satisfied with such an answer.But Brett.Brown was very satisfied with Zhang Zifeng's answer.

The reporter just sat down, another reporter stood up and asked, 'So Zhang, you said James.Harden is one of the top five active players.And what about you, where do you think you will be ranked.Top five or top ten, or top twenty. '

Hearing this question, the reporters present looked at Zhang Zifeng seriously, hoping to hear what they wanted from him.

But it's a pity that Zhang Zifeng let them down again.

Zhang Zifeng smiled and said, 'Dude, you guys have to know I'm just a sophomore rookie.I'm just on the road, and the ranking is not my primary concern for the time being.What I have to consider now is how to continue to improve my strength.Don't let something like today happen again.

Hearing that Zhang Zifeng said that he was a second-year rookie, the reporters present couldn't help sighing.

In this league, how many rookies can achieve your achievements in the second year of entering the league.

The calculations are James, Duncan, O'Neal, Jordan, Johnson and others.

Think about who these people are, all of them are top NBA stars.

The future of this kid is limitless.

But when Zhang Zifeng said modestly that he would continue to improve his strength, the reporters including Beverly couldn't help complaining in their hearts.

You are so powerful now, you have to continue to improve, and let others live!
