NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 109
Roy's struggle broke McMillan's heart, and Nowitzki was about to make Aldridge cry. Aldridge was not so embarrassed when he met Garnett. Nowitzki's offense hurts the defender too much. Mentality changed. Although Li Zheng scored crazy points in the second half, the loss of Roy and Aldridge still gave the Mavericks the upper hand. In the end, Li Zheng had to accept his first defeat calmly. is much more adequate.

The Mavericks defeated the Blazers 106-102. Li Zheng knew that he would not win forever, but the frustration and grievance on the day when the failure really came made him a little out of breath.

Roy walked to the locker room immediately after the game. The Blazers were beaten dizzy in this game. Unlike Boston's strong pressure, they lost this game ugly.

Li Zheng felt physically and mentally exhausted, but he still chose to stay and celebrate Nowitzki. This is an opponent who will always be respected.

"The future is yours. Victory is just something I keep temporarily." Nowitzki patted Li Zheng on the head and said seriously.

"Forget it, I hate the future the most, so I'm leaving." Li Zheng said with an angry roll of his eyes, and Nowitzki rumpled Li Zheng's hair with a smile.

The Trail Blazers fans booed, and Li Zheng waved his arms to stop them, "Give them applause." Fair, this is a game where both sides did their best, and they deserve applause.

Nowitzki was being interviewed on the sidelines. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Zheng walking towards the player tunnel a little lonely. This proud man finally truly understood the meaning of failure.

"Dirk, you are welcome to accept an interview with TNT. What do you think is the reason for your victory?"

Nowitzki stroked his blond hair, "We believe in each other, share the ball, do a good job of defense, use our rhythm to control the game, teamwork is the first choice, this is the performance we have always wanted to achieve, this game we well done."

"How do you evaluate Li? You must know that the Trail Blazers won all the games Li played before. As the first opponent to defeat them, I would like to know your evaluation of Li." The female reporter asked with a smile.

Nowitzki pondered for a while, "Lee is unbelievable, I forgot how many points he scored, I just remember that we tried many methods but couldn't limit him, he can always keep scoring points, scoring points , He almost tied the game in the fourth quarter, we stabilized the rhythm, insisted on the strength of the team, and finally won, in short, Li is a very terrible opponent."

"Thank you, Dirk, and congratulations on your victory."

Nowitzki waved goodbye to the Blazers home fans. He dragged his tired body to the Mavericks locker room. Whether he was an inside core or a team leader, he had done his best. Today he played 42 minutes, the fourth quarter Even playing with Li Zheng for the entire quarter, he was almost exhausted. If it weren't for the performance of other Blazers players at the level of war crimes, the Mavericks would almost certainly lose if they were dragged into overtime.

Nowitzki sat heavily on the chair, he wants to have some beer now, winning this game is a very good encouragement for the Mavericks, but for the Blazers, this game may bring a lot of players to them. There is not a small shadow, it seems that only Li Zheng can maintain a stable performance in the playoffs, and a team of one person cannot go far.

"I have to take all the responsibilities, and the reason for the loss is me." Sitting in the interview booth, Li Zheng said sadly.

"Li, today you scored 48 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and you played very well in the game."

"My teammates didn't get those good shots. The Mavericks defense was so tough. I fell into their trap. I made a few bad passes and didn't create more comfortable shots for my teammates. I still have 3 turnovers, the responsibility for the loss is entirely on me, and I will adjust." Li Zheng said to the media seriously with a microphone.

The reporters were also infected by Li Zheng's words. They have seen too many comments about the teammate's lack of hard work and dedication, and many comments about the surrender of the opponent's performance, but this kind of straightforward telling others that all responsibility lies with me It is very rare. Although Li Zheng is only a first-year rookie, after watching the game and interviews, almost everyone thinks that Li Zheng is the undoubted leader of the Blazers.

"Lee, can you comment on Nowitzki?"

"He's tough, he's always been able to score some unbelievable goals, defending Dirk is a disaster, I defended poorly in the first half, this is an unbelievable player."

Li Zheng's extremely high evaluation of Nowitzki made many reporters a little upset. Why should a guy who has just been hacked be praised so much?Just because this game blows you up?Look at what Li Zheng said, tough, it doesn't have much to do with Nowitzki.

"It seems that I was beaten up. The first defeat in life is still unacceptable." The reporters thought in unison that they thought Li Zheng had been beaten out of his soul and started talking nonsense.

Li Zheng turned around and left the interview booth. When he walked back to the locker room, he found that the Blazers players were all sitting in their seats in silence. The locker room was as dull as the dead silence before the rainstorm.

"The end of the world? What are you performing?" Li Zheng broke the dead silence.

"Stop talking, Li, let everyone be quiet." Roy said lightly.

"Quiet? Just sit like this?" Li Zheng came to Roy. Roy looked up at Li Zheng and smiled miserably. Li Zheng grabbed Roy's collar and lifted him up. Just go to training, if you feel bad, go back to rest, if you feel sorry for the team, apologize to everyone and then we will prepare for the next game."

Li Zheng let go of Roy and scanned the entire locker room, "Many people told me that the future belongs to us. I just want to say fuck to them. What we want is now, right now. Why wait until tomorrow if we can succeed today?"

"What will happen if you lose a regular season? What will happen if you lose a playoff game? What will happen if you lose in the finals?" Li Zhengfan asked the crowd, "It doesn't matter, it won't affect eating junk food, it won't It doesn’t matter if it affects the pumping of leaves, it won’t affect the shooting, and it won’t affect the management to give big contracts.”

"Fack!" Randolph yelled, "Lee! Stop talking nonsense, what do you mean!"

Li Zheng looked at the angry crowd. What he said just now obviously aroused everyone's anger. An angry team is ten times better than a decadent one.

"This is the place for the strong, don't show the guilt and sadness of the weak in front of me," Li Zheng took off his jersey, revealing his strong muscles, "Warm up for 30 laps, and practice after the game. If you think you are strong enough Keep up with me, weak chickens who feel guilty and continue to pray in the locker room."

Li Zheng roared and rushed out of the locker room, Randolph was the first to follow, followed by Aldridge who was running wildly, Fernandez, Jared Jack and the Blazers followed the team one by one and rushed into the arena , Roy tore the jersey in half, roaring and rushed to the arena.
