Chapter 120 The Journey of Vengeance
"Li, you won 93 votes in the first stage of voting, ranking first in the league. What can you tell your fans?" The reporter clearly felt that Li Zheng was no longer so repulsive to the media recently. When interviewing the media, he no longer always wears a serious expression that does not meet his age.

"I feel very honored and thank the fans for their support. This is the motivation to support my game and the source of my strength." Li Zheng talked eloquently. After being taught a lesson by Jerry West with the power of the media, Li Zheng I just understand that if you want to make a difference in this league, you need strength other than basketball.

"Which All-Star games will you participate in? I mean in which games can fans see you at your best?" The reporter continued to ask.

Li Zheng thought for a while, "Every competition, I will sign up for all competitions, the dunk contest, the three-point contest, you know, I like competition, I am a player who loves competition, the All-Star is a good stage, I I like to compete against strong opponents and I think I will put on a good show for the fans."

"Thank you for the interview, great game."

Li Zheng shook hands with the reporter, then returned to the locker room, and jointly organized the team's resumption with McMillan. The performance of the Blazers today was not good. Although the impact of altitude sickness cannot be ignored, the Blazers players still missed it. too many opportunities.

An hour later, the whole Blazers boarded the plane to Portland. Li Zheng was sitting in some worn-out seats, looking at the crowded aisles, and an impulse to consume instantly surged into his mind.

Li Zhengjing closed his eyes quietly, being kind to others, loyal, frugal, and restraining desires. In the past, his life seemed to be only basketball, but what a simple life brought was not understanding and recognition. This time, he used power other than basketball to shut up those annoying guys. Li Zheng felt what refreshment was.

"Perfection in basketball doesn't mean perfection in life?" Li Zheng asked himself in his heart, the astronomical amount of money rewarded to him, his huge network, and his smooth life seemed to have explained everything. James, understand James, and become James?
Only basketball is not here
In Li Zheng's mind, he rushed to the basket with eight steps to dunk and leaned back like a crab. He quickly threw this terrible thought out of his mind. He would never give up the perfect state of basketball. No amount of money could paralyze him.

Although the Trail Blazers dropped to fourth in the West, but with the away game against the Mavericks, after Li Zheng scored 55 points and succeeded in revenge, the Blazers started the winning streak again.

After Oden was selected, the Atlanta Eagles' impregnable defense brought huge troubles to countless teams. Unfortunately, the final game Just like the draft picks of Li Zheng and Oden, it seems that the difference between the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick is only two, but it is actually an insurmountable gap that will never be crossed.

Marvin Williams and Oden's inside defense brought great trouble to Aldridge. Aldridge only scored 8 points and 7 rebounds. On the defensive end, Aldridge was even more difficult to stop Oden's rampage. With 5 fouls on his back, Aldridge realized that Randolph's sacrifice was huge during Randolph's absence.

A strong offensive and weak defensive player gave up his comfort zone, chose to cultivate defense deeply, and dedicate everything to the team. Randolph's negativity is understandable.

Oden scored 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. It's just that the No. 4 pick doesn't seem to adapt to the NBA rules. There is room for improvement. With [-] minutes left in the second quarter, Li Zhengneng rushed inside and grabbed an offensive rebound over Oden's head to make a dunk.

With Oden's success in dunking, Li Zheng even completed the record of dunking insiders in the [-] class.

After the game, Oden and Li Zheng bumped their chests to pay tribute. Oden had a cheerful and generous personality off the court, and Li Zheng did not put on airs. He maintained a good relationship with every rookie in the 07 class. Oden and Li Zheng simply complained Concerned about the distress in the team, including the suppression of new players by old players and the complicated factional relations in the team, Li Zheng listened quietly to Oden's complaints with a faint smile, his eyes full of kindness.

"Hey, sometimes I really envy you and Kevin," Oden sighed, "There is no freedom and no hope here."

"It will get better." Li Zheng was about to pat Auden on the shoulder, but Auden was too tall, and Oden bent down. Li Zheng took the opportunity to touch Auden's head, and then ran back to the locker room , Oden was scolded by Josh Smith and walked back to the locker room.
