New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 283 Preparing for the Grizzlies
Zhang Yi's explosive performance was regarded by countless fans as the most explosive performance of this unfinished season.People now don't know that this is not the limit of this man...

In the interview at the end of the game, the reporter asked excitedly, "Congratulations on your quadruple-double! Your performance this time was great, and the last few steals were even more amazing... Do you think you played well in this game? Are you at your best?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Yi nodded. Even he has never won a quadruple-double in an official game, because there are too many uncertain factors in it.

"Someone told me to average a triple-double from the beginning! But this kind of data doesn't mean much to me personally. Compared with triple-doubles and quadruple-doubles, I'm more happy that the team won this game!"

"But your steals have improved the team's defense and defensive counterattack, so will you continue to focus on this in the next game?"

Zhang Yi showed an expression of approval. In fact, for him, stealing is just one of the ways to help the team win.The current Lakers team cannot continue to win easily without anyone's performance. Of course, he must continue to maintain his form as the core!
The reporter's third question has not yet been asked.Robert and Wally held a bucket of ice water and poured it on Zhang Yi's head while he was not paying attention...

"Haha, brother, it's time for you to cool down!" The two of them threw down the bucket excitedly and ran back to the player tunnel.It made Zhang Yi wet instantly.

The reporter also laughed. Although the interview was interrupted, it was very rare to get an interview opportunity with Zhang Yi at the last moment.

Zhang Yi's current popularity is not inferior to the top stars in the league like Curry and Thomas, and his fans are even younger.If you really want to talk about it, Zhang Yi's actual popularity may be higher than these two leading figures!

After this game, the Los Angeles Lakers had a day off, so in order to help Zhang Yi celebrate his first quadruple-double, all the players also went to the nightclub with him to have fun...

Although Zhang Yi brought his wife Lucy, no one objected.After all, they all knew Lucy's temper. If something happened to Zhang Yi outside, it would be the Robert brothers who couldn't bear to walk around in the end.

Because the recent performance has become more and more dazzling, Zhang Yi's current endorsement value has also increased.As his agent, Lucy's current cooperation calls are really one after another.

Especially in Dadu's domestic programs, Zhang Yi did not represent his country in international competitions.But this does not mean that he occupies the top spot among sports stars!

Even in Yunhua, Zhang Yi's hometown, the shameless Zhao Zhongyi secretly set up a basketball training camp named after him.Of course, the fans looking forward to Zhang Yi's strength also paid their own money to send their children here to participate in training.

Of course, Zhang Yi himself didn't know about these things, otherwise he would definitely be ruined by Zhao Zhongyi's accusation.

After playing for a day, Zhang Yi and Lucy went home, while other Lakers players went to start the second game.Although Wacker made it clear that there is no need for training tomorrow, he agreed with everyone to go to the nightclub to know what he meant.

It's not a good thing if the players' nerves are too tight.And because the Lakers have a high-level meeting the next day, the purpose is to formulate a plan to increase the team's income.

As the head coach, Wacker can't hide from it, although he is not interested in these things at all, and he can't come up with any valuable solutions.

But considering that he wants to know how the team will use Zhang Yi's current reputation, he can't just push it away.In the end, I reluctantly participated.

The plan formulated by Gianna, who has basketball pedigree and business management experience, is still reliable.In addition, both Zhang Yi, Wali and Robert have stars.

Wacker almost laughed out loud when he mentioned his son.It's not that he's really happy for his son, but on the contrary, he really doesn't think there is any commercial value in Wali.

This made Jaina very unhappy, because in her opinion, Vack was too rough a man, especially for her son.Although Wal-E's strength is not yet able to stand alone, his effort is not lost to anyone in the team.

If Wack can't face up to his son's efforts, Jaina may even choose to trade him for Wali's future.Because Wall-E needs opportunities, and Jaina believes that he also has this strength.

During the rest of the day, Zhang Yi didn't sleep in.Instead, practice on the training equipment at home normally.Lucy's next commercial endorsements for him are also related to basketball, so I don't worry that Zhang Yi will be disgusted.

And the second generation of the signature sneakers made by KING for Zhang Yi has also been designed.As long as Zhang Yi's double-foot data is retested, it can be produced.

Although he is used to wearing the first generation of shoes now.But after all, this is the old version of the NCAA period. Now that he has entered the NBA, Zhang Yi finally has a pair of personal basketball shoes with Lakers elements!

Without a game, Zhang Yi didn't feel any relief at the end of the day.However, with Lucy's meticulous care, his private life feels very comfortable. At this moment, Zhang Yi is more sure that his choice is not wrong.

After a day off, the rest of the Lakers are not sleeping in or pampering themselves now.Because the team still maintains a winning streak, under such pressure, no one wants to drag the team back, so everyone really worked harder in training.

Because the next game is still at home against the Memphis Grizzlies who came to challenge.Considering that the opponent pays more attention to positional warfare and defense than the Timberwolves, everyone is also prepared for a hard fight.

The only team that could limit the opponent's scoring to less than 90 points last season, the defense of the Memphis Grizzlies is also known as an impregnable wall!
In addition to the height and strength of the inside line, they also have the best defensive first position and both offensive and defensive second and third positions. Although the overall talent is not high, the victory lies in the defense!
They can be regarded as the most bleak star among the teams that entered the playoffs last year, but the Grizzlies unexpectedly entered the second round, and in the confrontation with the Golden State Warriors, they took three victories. Almost overturned the defending champion in the tie-break!
You must know that the Golden State Warriors only lost 5 games in the playoffs last year, and three of them were taken away by the Grizzlies, which shows how restrained they are against the fast-break team.

Although the characteristics of the Lakers are a little different from the Golden State Warriors, the Grizzlies' defense and weird game rhythm still need to be studied carefully.

Wacker is not the kind of head coach who likes to hold meetings with players before the game, but when facing an opponent with a very obvious style, he also specially took out some training time to hold tactical meetings...
