Chapter IX The Celtics in the first game(1/2)
Warriors executive office.
"So, you want to fire the trainer for a bench player? Or even intend to trade Williamson?"
Tapping his fingers on the table, the president looked at Davis with doubts in his eyes.
"You have never been so reckless before..."
Hearing this, Davis glanced at the president thoughtfully, took out his mobile phone, and drew out the video he had prepared long ago.
"This is?"
President Smith was immediately attracted to Zhang Ling in the video.
As the president and a senior NBA fan, his vision is definitely not inferior to that of any scout.
Just for a moment, I was attracted by Zhang Ling's movements.
"This is Zhang Ling? Are you sure?"
Smith exclaimed, with a look of shock on his face.
"He can handle the ball so well...He is a big man of 2.18 meters...Oh my god!"
He has been busy these past two days and has no time to watch this game.
I didn’t expect he missed so much...
"A three-point shot... actually shot like this? Oh no, it went into the frame smoothly. This guy's shot is very smooth... I haven't noticed it before. Let me go, when did his skills..."
Smith stared at Zhang Ling's performance on the screen, unable to take his eyes off it.
There were constant exclamations.
doorway,
The two security guards looked at each other, both seeing the teasing look in each other's eyes.
They saw Davis go in just now.
Then there was shouting.
Unexpectedly...the boss actually has this hobby?
If you are a subordinate, just listen and there is no need to interrupt.
···
"I agree with you, fire Jack, and as for Williamson..."
After watching the video, Smith took a deep breath.
Taking back his cell phone, Davis saw the CEO's eyes, which were filled with eagerness.
"Zhang Ling, we must do our best to cultivate him!"
His expression became excited, and even Davis was a little surprised. This was beyond his expectation.
"If that bastard Williamson is willing to organize, just trade him to any team!"
After speaking, Smith turned around in his chair, picked up his coffee and took a sip.
Being an All-Star is nothing, no matter how weak you are, you still have a chance to get one.
But superstars, even superstars, are not something that every team has a chance to compete for.

The audience was excited and the crowd was surging.
Zhang Ling yawned, wore a blue Warriors uniform, and entered the stadium with the team.
"The Warriors are coming to us now, and the player with the highest jersey No. 30 is Zhang Ling! The last game we faced was the Cavaliers, and he scored 37 points and 9 rebounds!
This time facing the Celtics, who have excellent defense, can he create another miracle? Let's wait and see!"
"Many people say that Zhang Ling is a typical player who has one outstanding performance in his career. He has great touch in one game in his life and can only perform well in one game. I don't think so. I think it may be two..."
The commentator's voice echoed in the stadium, triggering sometimes heated discussions and sometimes laughter among the fans.
It seems that not many people are optimistic about Zhang Ling.
"Look, do you think there will be many people supporting you? People always prefer to question and argue."
Williamson turned his head and sneered at Zhang Ling, his voice lost in the noise.
"Watch your mouth and watch my performance later."
Zhang Ling spat out trash talk to his teammates.
Williamson's face darkened, but he didn't want to get angry.
On the Celtics side, Pierce and others are doing warm-up exercises.
"Paul, play hard next. You are known as the offensive kaleidoscope. Try to defeat them on the offensive end."
Antoine Walker dribbled the ball and smiled at Pierce beside him.
"I know my defense is not enough, but it should be no problem against the Warriors." Pierce nodded.
"We are now sixth in the Eastern Conference, and they can't even make the playoffs. The gap is too big."
"Don't forget, they have a superstar on their team who scored 37 points in 6 or more games." Delk shot a three-pointer and smiled when he saw the ball hit the net.
Several people showed understanding smiles.
"Maybe people don't know much about our defensive capabilities. Many people say that Zhang Ling is the next superstar in the league and we will be defeated by him..."
Pierce continuously changed directions, made a fadeaway jumper, and hit the ball steadily.
"Their ideas are really stupid."
The game is about to begin.
The atmosphere within the Warriors is not very good, because they are about to face the Celtics, and everyone feels pressure.
Even a playoff team would not feel comfortable facing the Celtics.
After all, when the defense is strong, its hands are tied.
It often feels cold to the touch.
"Everyone, be energetic and fight hard. We still have a chance..."
Make a trumpet shape with your hands in front of your mouth, and the coach is shouting from the side.
Davis' eyes were focused on Zhang Ling, and the corners of his mouth curved.
This one is up to you.
What kind of explanation will you give me?... And the president, he is also watching your game...
On the other side of the room, Smith, who was sorting files and staring at the computer live screen, sneezed hard.
···
Zhang Ling just received a message from the system.
[In this game, if you face the Celtics and win, you will get a level A reward of defensive bonus 20]
"20? Is there a defensive bonus?"
Zhang Ling became excited, defense was his weakness.
Although it is only an A-level reward, this is just the first game.
The atmosphere reached its highest point, in the center of the court, at the Celtics logo.
Jump ball from both sides.
Zhang Ling’s first start!
The Celtics players on the opposite side were also staring at this guy who had just been promoted from the bench to the starting lineup, the legendary No. 30 in the last game.
so tall?
2.18 meters, the tallest players on many teams are not that tall.
The center of the opponent's jump ball is Tony Barty, who is 2.11 meters tall and is a little shorter than Zhang Ling.
The basketball lifted into the air and the two people took off at the same time.
At this time, everyone saw the huge talent gap between the players.
The same is true for taking off and reaching out to hit the ball.
The take-off height of both of them is not very high, only about 60 centimeters, and tall people generally don't bounce well.
But after Zhang Ling stretched out his hand, Batty's face turned red.
His wingspan is 2.08 meters, while Zhang Ling is 2.32 meters!
