Chapter 120 The Journey of Revenge

"Li, you won 930,000 votes in the first phase of the vote, ranking first in the league. What can you say to your fans?" The reporter clearly felt that Li Zheng was no longer so arrogant recently, and he no longer always had serious expressions that were not age-oriented when facing media interviews.

"I feel very honored. Thank you for your support. This is the driving force that supports my game and the source of my strength." Li Zheng talked freely. After being taught by Jerry West with the power of the media, Li Zheng understood that it is necessary to call the wind and rain in this league to be more powerful than basketball.

"What games will you participate in for the All-Star Game? I mean in which games can fans see you play your best?" the reporter continued.

Li Zheng thought a little, "In every game, I will sign up for all the games, dunk contests, three-point contests, you know, I like competition, I am a player who loves competition, the All-Star is a good stage, I like to compete with strong opponents, I think I will bring wonderful performances to the fans."

"Thank you for the interview, the wonderful game."

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

An hour later, the entire Trail Blazers boarded the plane to Portland. Li Zheng sat in a somewhat worn seat. Looking at the crowded aisle, a consumption impulse instantly surged into his heart.

Li Zheng quietly closed his eyes, be kind, loyal, frugal, and restrained desires. In the past, his life seemed to be only basketball, but simple life brought about not understanding and recognition. This time, he used the power outside of basketball to shut up those annoying guys. Li Zheng felt what it means to be refreshed.

"Doesn't the perfection in basketball mean perfection in life?" Li Zheng asked himself in his heart. God rewarded him with astronomical money and huge connections, as well as his smooth life, as he seemed to have explained everything, ridiculed James, understood James, and then became James?

Basketball is definitely not here

Li Zheng had a picture of himself rushing into the basket with eight steps and dunking and leaning back like a crab. He quickly threw this terrible idea out of his mind. He would never give up the perfect realm in basketball, and no amount of money could numb him.

Although the Trail Blazers' ranking dropped to fourth in the Western Conference, after Li Zheng scored 55 points away and successfully took revenge, the Trail Blazers started their winning streak again.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Golden State Warriors, and then flew to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks. After choosing Oden, the Atlanta Hawks' defense brought huge trouble to countless teams. Unfortunately, the final game was like the draft pick between Li Zheng and Oden. It seemed that the difference between the No. 1 pick and the Tanhua was only two, but it was actually an insurmountable gap.

The inside defense of Marvin Williams and Oden brought huge trouble to Aldridge. Aldridge only scored a miserable 8 points and 7 rebounds. On the defensive end, Aldridge was even more difficult to stop Oden's rampage and took five fouls. During the period when Randolph was absent, Aldridge realized that Randolph's sacrifice was huge.

Randolph's negative feelings are understandable when a player with strong attacks and weak defenses give up his comfort zone, chooses to deepen his defense and contribute everything to the team.

Oden scored 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, but this second-tier pick did not seem to adapt to the rules of the NBA. He was in trouble with fouls, and he always had unnecessary movements on his hands, and his attention on the defensive end still needs to be improved. With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Li Zheng was able to rush into the inside and grab the frontcourt rebound and dunk on Oden's head, which was because Oden was distracted and did not get a position in time.

This goal was also successfully selected for the Five Best Balls of the night. Almost every time in ESPN, Li Zheng's goal will enter the court, killing, dunking, and knocking down his opponent. The gorgeous assist of Li Zheng's style determines that he is the kind of player that fans like the most. The perfect combination of violence, elegance, gorgeousness, strength and technology. The 30 Best Balls edited by TNT for Li Zheng have long become the most viewed episode.

After this direct showdown between the No. 1 pick and Tanhua, Li Zheng officially completed all the kills of the lottery show of the same year. Kevin Durant, Greg Oden, Al Horford, Mike Conley, Jokin Noah, and Yi Jianlian all fell at Li Zheng's feet. With the successful dunk Oden, Li Zheng completed the dunk record of the 2007 inside line.

After the game, Oden and Li Zheng flirted with their chests. Oden was cheerful and generous off the court, and Li Zheng did not show off his airs. He maintained a good relationship with every rookie in 2007. Oden and Li Zheng simply complained about their troubles in the team, including the suppression of new players by old players and the complex factional relationship 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, no hope here."

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

The Trail Blazers then flew to Houston to challenge the Rockets, who are currently the league's number one, the healthy Yao Ming and the healthy Billups, Prince and Bathir. This Rockets are beyond everyone's imagination and firmly occupy the throne of the West, leading the Celtics, who are second in the league, and have two wins. Most media are not optimistic about the Trail Blazers' revenge journey. Although they have successfully revenged the Mavericks, the Rockets are really too strong now, and the Trail Blazers don't seem to have a chance.

What would Aldridge, without Randolph's assistance, be blasted by Yao Ming in good shape? Houston media has already shouted the slogan of "50 points" in advance, and Yao Ming also said in an interview that he would attach importance to the Trail Blazers and face the challenges in the best condition.

This rare and absolutely wonderful yellow-skinned derby naturally attracted a lot of attention. Many Chinese fans arrived in Houston in advance to buy tickets. Miracle had the first fight with the Chinese giants. They were willing to witness this great moment with their own eyes.

When the Trail Blazers arrived in Houston, the league also announced the list of this year's slam dunk contest, Li Zheng, Gerald Green, Dwight Howard and Nate Robinson, and James once again refused to participate in the slam dunk contest.

Lee also expressed his expectations for the dunk contest in an interview, and said that he would prepare some actions carefully and express regrets about James' absence. The media knows that this is Lee's unique habit. He always says that he hates James the most, but no matter what happens, the person he thinks of is also James.
