Chapter 211 First win of the playoffs

"This is definitely an extremely arrogant behavior! Although the Cavaliers are leading 3-0, it does not mean that they have advanced. We all know that respecting the opponent is the most basic thing, but obviously JR. Didn't realize that. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavaliers lost today."

After Smith's outrageous remarks, "USA Today" columnist Jones wrote so.

At the same time, the national media also criticized JR. Smith's arrogance.

Seeing that JR. Smith was besieged by the media, LeBron James, the boss of the Cavaliers, quickly stood up and explained to his teammates: "Smith just wanted to inspire the fighting spirit of the 76ers, and he said that on purpose. We never underestimated Any opponent is not qualified to do this!"

James explained Smith's arrogant remarks, but such a far-fetched explanation is absolutely impossible to be convincing.

These media did not believe James' defense at all, but they did not continue to criticize Smith today.

Because they are waiting, waiting for the result of the next game between the 76ers and the Cavaliers.

If the Cavaliers lose by then, the criticism from the media will probably drown out the Cavaliers.

James and others also know that they have completely blocked media interviews these days, and are silently preparing for the next focus battle.

When the reporters heard the explanation from LeBron James, they naturally would not forget to ask the boss of the 76ers, Zhang Zifeng.

When hearing the explanation conveyed by the reporter, Zhang Zifeng said blankly, "If JR. Smith wanted to inspire our fighting spirit, then well, he did it. We will make him regret doing so!"

"Zhang, are you confident that you can win the next game?" The reporter asked hastily.

"Now our fighting spirit is high, I believe we will win!" Zhang Zifeng said without hesitation.

On the evening of April 4, the fourth game of the first-round series between the 23ers and the Cavaliers was held at the Wells Fargo Center Arena, home of the 76ers.

When the first Cavaliers players, especially JR. Smith, ran out of the tunnel, they were greeted with boos and humiliation from the 76ers fans!

"Don't think how great you are, Zhang Zifeng will teach you a lesson today!"

"You will lose tonight, and you will regret it!"

"You son of a bitch, after tonight, you'll go home crying and find your mother to nurse you!"

When Zhang Zifeng ran out, the 76ers shouted loudly:

"Zhang, beat this son of a bitch and let him know how good you are!"

"Zhang, defeat these idiots and advance to the next round!"

……

Hearing the fans' shouts, Zhang Zifeng thought to himself: Even if you don't say it, I will do it!

The game is about to start, and the starting players of both sides enter the field.

Standing on the court, Zhang Zifeng stared at JR Smith beside him, full of murderous intent.

Even the 76ers players standing next to him could feel this murderous aura.

Love and Noel are still competing for the opening jump ball in tonight's game.

The referee walked between the two, and after a whistle, the ball was thrown into the air!

The moment the ball was thrown in the air by Noel towards his own half.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng jumped up and grabbed the basketball, he dribbled the ball and ran forward with lightning speed.

Zhang Zifeng rushed to the frontcourt like a flash of yellow lightning. LeBron James and JR. Smith just ran back to the half court. Zhang Zifeng jumped up from the outside without waiting for the other players to settle.

It wasn't until Zhang Zifeng took off that Smith reacted and jumped up to block the shot.

But it was too late at this time, the ball was already flying in the air, and all JR. Smith could seal was air.

At this time, everyone in the arena couldn't help but look at the basketball and turn their heads towards the basketball.

Chen Wei and Zheng Xinguo also stood up, clenched their fists and cheered for Zhang Zifeng.

Swish!

The ball went straight into the hoop.

Fans of the 76ers saw that Zhang Zifeng used a three-pointer to help the 76ers open the scoring at the beginning of the game. In an instant, the arena erupted into huge cheers!

"Come on, Zhang!"

"Yes, that's it. Zhang, blow up that bastard!"

……

After landing, Zhang Zifeng said to JR. Smith, "You should think about where to go on vacation after this round!"

JR. Smith said disdainfully: "It's just a goal, and the final victory must be ours!"

Seeing Zhang Zifeng, who performed very poorly under his own marking in the previous few games, he dared to challenge himself today.

JR. Smith couldn't swallow this breath, he said to James, "Let me attack later, I will fight back!"

In the past, even if they played the full court and added a few overtimes, they could still hold on.

But as he got older, James also gradually felt that if he fought too hard in the first half, he would not be able to keep up with his physical strength in the fourth quarter.

Now Smith wants to attack with the ball. Considering his offensive ability is still good, James also wants to save his energy until the fourth quarter, so he said, "I will pass the ball to you later, remember not to lose to that guy!"

JR. Smith nodded quickly when he heard that James agreed. "No problem, just watch me!"

As soon as JR Smith ran to the frontcourt, he received the ball from James.

Seeing JR. Smith receiving the ball, Zhang Zifeng hurried forward.

Don't let this bastard break in!

The team was despised by others, and Zhang Zifeng knew that he carried the expectations of many fans.

Looking forward to teaching that arrogant JR Smith a lesson.

As the boss of the team, Zhang Zifeng has no reason not to work hard.

Zhang Zifeng stood in front of Smith, ready to fight.

I will never let you be proud!

JR. Smith observed the situation on the field.

The teammates have opened up the space for singles for themselves, and it is up to themselves at this time.

He took a step forward, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated.

JR. Smith went inside like a knife.

Although JR. Smith's breakthrough speed is not as fast as Iverson and Irving.

But definitely not to be underestimated.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly followed up sideways, squeezing the opponent with his body, trying to push him to the bottom line.

Without breaking through immediately, JR. Smith took a sudden step back and retreated beyond the three-point line.

An unexpected three-point jumper!

But when JR. Smith made a shot, Zhang Zifeng reacted quickly and jumped up immediately!

Zhang Zifeng flew forward, straightening his right hand.

JR. Smith was taken aback.

Although JR. Smith has been competing with Zhang Zifeng in the first few games.

He never thought that Zhang Zifeng's reaction was so fast today.

It's like knowing in advance that you are going to take a step back and knowing that you are going to shoot.

JR. Smith has no extra time to think about other things at this time.

Already in the air, he has to deal with the ball as quickly as possible.

Is it to vote or to pass?

In an instant, JR. Smith knew that he could only shoot the ball.

After hesitating for a while, JR. Smith missed the best time to make a shot.

Zhang Zifeng's big hand firmly pressed on the basketball.

JR. Smith is blocked!

With a snap, the ball hit the floor directly from the air.Bounce down the frontcourt.

"Oh! MY GOD! JR. Smith was blocked, Zhang Zifeng did a great job!"

Mike Breen exclaimed on the commentary stand.

The 76ers fans cheered thunderously when they saw the guy they hated the most took a sip.

Zhang Zifeng blocked JR. Smith's shot and the ball flew forward.

As soon as it landed, Zhang Zifeng rushed to the basketball immediately.

At this time, JR. Smith didn't have time to regret, and quickly turned around to grab the ball.

The ball bounced irregularly after hitting the floor, and the height became lower and lower.

Zhang Zifeng fell to the ground in an instant and rushed towards the basketball.

Holding the basketball in his arms, JR. Smith rushed over to snatch the basketball from Zhang Zifeng.

James and Irving also ran up to grab the ball at this time.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly saw that Grant and Josh Smith had already run forward.

Zhang Zifeng lay on the ground, turned around forcibly, waved his hands, and forced JR. Smith's hands away from grabbing the ball.

Then he threw the ball to Grant with both hands.

"Zhang Zifeng fell to the ground and snatched the ball recklessly. As the captain of the team, he is setting an example to inspire his teammates at this time!"

"JR. Smith is fighting for the ball, Zhang Zifeng is desperately protecting the ball."

"Zhang Zifeng passed the ball. In an extremely difficult situation, Zhang Zifeng still passed the ball accurately to teammate Grant!"

Mike Breen explained loudly.

Grant received a pass from Zhang Zifeng, and there was no obstacle in the frontcourt at this time.

Amid the cheers of the 76ers fans in the audience, Grant rushed into the Cavaliers' penalty area and made a slam dunk with a big windmill.

"Oh! Grant ignited the passion of the 76ers fans with a wonderful dunk! But the biggest hero of this ball is their captain Zhang Zifeng. It was Zhang Zifeng who blocked JR. Smith, and it was Zhang Zifeng who fell to the ground and snatched the ball the first time Grant's dunks came only after receiving it. Zhang Zifeng interpreted what a captain is! When the team is in difficulty, he will try his best to help the team, whether it is offense or defense!"

Mike Brin shouted uncontrollably.

The 2 fans at the scene saw that they overturned the arena with their frantic cheers.

Zhang Zifeng's performance made the 76ers fans ecstatic, and also infected other 76ers players.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers played aggressively and once led the Cavaliers by 9 points in the first quarter.
