NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 179 Zero Seal
"Gilbert hasn't given up yet! He's still running and looking for opportunities!" The broadcast channel commentator Mike Breen was explaining the game with passion. Arenas, who had rested for the entire third quarter, obviously recovered. In the halftime, he was unable to move an inch by Li Zheng's defense, but now he can dribble smoothly.

However, Li Zheng's defense still tightly blocked Arenas like a big net. Arenas' exquisite fake movements failed to shake Li Zheng, and even failed to make Li Zheng's mood fluctuate. He could only watch helplessly. Watching Li Zheng rise from the ground and point the basketball down from the air.

"Did you take the medicine?" Arenas asked, resisting the feeling of retching. The high-intensity physical exertion and the large amount of replenishing lost water made his stomach very uncomfortable.

"No." Today, Li Zhengxi's words are like gold, and Arenas is not angry. What he feels for Li Zheng now is not anger or helplessness at being blown up, but respect.

As an opponent and as an athlete, Li Zheng is a guy worthy of respect.

"Don't take it lightly, I'm not a person who gives up." Arenas reminded, "I won't play this single anymore, and I won't watch my team lose."

"Try it."

Arenas was full of fighting spirit and devoted himself to the game. He pulled Heywood to whisper, and clapped his hands to encourage his teammates. He was only 19 points behind and faced the second-ranked Trail Blazers in the Western Conference. Chasing points and making a comeback was not easy.

"Actually, Arenas' performance today was not as bad as the result. We can see that Arenas' dribbling and singles abilities have been fully demonstrated, whether it is a threat from outside the three-point line or an inside kill. Arenas' scoring ability does not need to be questioned." Barkley talked eloquently, analyzing today's game, but his words seemed to have sealed the outcome of the game.

"The game has already ended early and now the only possibility is whether Arenas can not get a clean sheet. Today's Lee is too scary. The players who can score 20 points in front of such Lee are the top ten names in history. I really can't guarantee that they can do it." Special guest John Moore agreed with Barkley's point of view. Today's Li Zheng has demonstrated the level of the defensive ceiling. If Li Zheng's defensive data does not fall off a cliff, it can be said that this game The competition has already locked this year's dpoy for Lee Jung.

When Arenas compromised, the Wizards began to arrange tactics for him, hoping to free him from Li Zheng's blockade, but unfortunately, Haywood received a pick-and-roll violation, no matter whether it was a pick-and-roll or a high-profile Passing the ball, even off-the-ball pick-and-roll moves, Arenas failed to get the slightest bit of comfortable offensive space.

Li Zheng is like a machine with the ultimate goal set. Arenas is his only hunting target, regardless of the cost and any means. Today's Li Zheng's style of play is actually very selfish, but the Blazers allow him to be willful. The world is looking forward to his willfulness, and even he himself is looking forward to this willful play.

Since Li Zheng entered the league and even became famous in the NCAA, the labels on him are mature, stable, overall-oriented, born for victory, and the topics are more focused on his skin color and appearance. With the terrifying data of 35+7+11+2+1.9, even if he can hit the mvp in his rookie season, even if he led the team to the second place in the Western Conference in the first grade this year, the voice of doubt has never stopped .

This era needs heroes, but what is most questioned by this era is also heroes.

Li Zheng himself doesn't know what he wants to prove, from an ordinary three-point shooter, to a rookie with a strong body and rough skills, to coach Romar's confidant, Roy's follower, and then to the luck that no one in the NCAA rules the roost Son. Li Zheng himself has forgotten how many doubts he has broken through to get to where he is today.

Arenas' words made Li Zheng angry. This anger made Li Zheng's zone start from the second he stepped on the floor of the Wizards' home court. He has never felt so strong in his body, and he no longer cares about the consequences. Injury, whether losing himself will affect the ranking in the playoffs, Li Zheng, who has relieved the burden, finally broke out in his peak state.

It is enough to block the defense of a top scorer in the league. If today's Li Zheng is required to attack, then Kobe's scoring record will definitely be broken by him today
Arenas did not give up, but today's Li Zheng is not an opponent that can be defeated with hard work, around pick-and-rolls, steals, off-ball defense, and blocks. Li Zheng is like a defensive encyclopedia, but it is by no means written by Larry Brown that book.

Defense can have such charm
Many fans and even the players who watched the game were mesmerized. The charm of basketball is not only in singles and shooting. Li Zheng's defense full of mechanical beauty attracted the attention of countless fans. Many people picked up the ball Eager to try, as if ready to kill the opponent on the wild field, and finally clean the opponent.

A quiet young man sat silently in front of the TV and imitated Li Zheng's defensive actions, with an extremely focused expression, super long wingspan and huge palms, just by looking at his figure, he could tell that this was a good defense material.

"Kawhi, stop watching the game, you should go to sleep."

That quiet boy is Leonard who has caused endless troubles for Li Zheng. This year he has just switched from a safety in American football to basketball. The stronger he is, he is desperately watching and learning basketball skills. Li Zheng's game seems to give him He opened a door.

Defense was also dominant.
A faint smile appeared on Leonard's face, as if he was happy to have found his own way.

Arenas finally resigned to his fate and chose to end in the last 34 seconds. His data was finally fixed at 0 points, the same as Li Zheng. The only difference was that he took 19 shots in this game, while Li Zheng's shots and His score is also 0.

The Wizards lost the game 91 to 124. After the game, the referees consciously came to the sidelines, ready to separate the players of the two teams at any time, especially when Arenas re-entered the middle of the court and walked straight to Li Zheng. Even the fans at home in Washington became nervous.

"Hey! Listen! I know you guys want to see me look like I can't afford to lose!" Arenas' unscrupulous look made the referee's heart rise to his throat. If there is still a fight or fight after the game, then this The fun is out, and David Stern won't let them down.

"I, Gilbert Arenas, is not as good as Brian Lee." Arenas grabbed Li Zheng's hand, and then said something that shocked the reporter infinitely.
