The Trail Blazers' first show of the new season will be on October 31. The team will challenge the Phoenix Suns away from home.

Zhang Feng went to Phoenix City with the team, but during the pre-game tactical training, Zhang Feng still couldn't even join the team's bench training team.

If there are no accidents, unless there is a large amount of garbage time in the game, and there is enough garbage time for two center players to play one after another, Zhang Feng should have no chance to play.

Although CCTV specifically selected the Blazers' opening game for live broadcast in view of Zhang Feng's Chinese element, all fans and professional basketball professionals also know that judging from the training situation of the Blazers revealed before the game, it is different from most of the players at that time.

Like the senior Chinese basketball players, Zhang Feng may still spend a lot of time on the bench in the new season.

However, unlike many Chinese basketball players who were very introverted when they entered the NBA, Zhang Feng, who has never been trained in the system, still retains the unique vitality of his age and a very young mentality, even because of his study in American universities.

The experience of playing basketball has also made Zhang Feng less introverted and can better integrate into the small circle of players.

Like many rookies in the NBA, small tasks such as carrying bags and getting water are naturally the first step for a rookie to integrate into the team. However, today's Blazers cannot easily integrate into the team.

middle.

It has nothing to do with rookies like Zhang Feng, but the Blazers as a whole have some problems, and there are some internal disharmony factors.

That is, the team has now vaguely formed two internal factions.

Originally, after Roy retired due to injury, Aldridge, who was the second in charge and had a certain reputation in the league, might become the cornerstone of the team. The team should also develop tactics around the No. 2 pick in 2006.

Reconstruction of the system.

Even when the team was negotiating to renew the contract with Ade, they made it clear that they would determine his core position in the future.

But just last season, with the No. 6 pick, the Trail Blazers selected Damian Lillard, who suffered a serious injury in college. Before the injury, this offensive guard was extremely powerful in college basketball.

.

Last season, Lillard, a rookie who had recovered from his injuries and entered the league for the first time, showed his potential as a superstar. At the end of his rookie season, although the Blazers' record was among the best in the Western Conference, they did not make it to the playoffs.

game, but Lillard averaged 19 points, 6.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game.

Lillard deservedly became the Rookie of the Year last season. Not surprisingly, in a few seasons, he will also become the hottest new guard superstar in the West.

In particular, Lillard recorded a double-double of 20+10 points and assists in his debut of the season, becoming the third person in history to record 20+10 points and assists in his rookie season.

The two previous players who performed so well in their rookie seasons were Oscar Robertson and Isaiah Thomas, two Hall of Fame players.

For Lillard, although he is a rookie who has just entered the league, it seems that he has never known what it means to be nervous and what it means to be soft-handed. He is born with a big heart that can become a leader. Dare to take shots when playing key balls is to become a leader.

Prerequisites for becoming a superstar.

It is precisely because of Lillard's outstanding performance that the Blazers' management also has new ideas, that is, whether they should strengthen Aldridge's boss position, or wait for Lillard to mature more, and then use Lillard as the core

Build a team.

In the arena of NBA, the salary level and commercial value of the boss and the second player are naturally different. Moreover, their playing styles seem to be complementary, but both sides need to attack with the ball and need the support of the team.

players, so there is little chemistry on the court, and they almost always fall into individual singles situations.

Although Ade's contract will expire in two seasons, according to rumors within the Trail Blazers, if Ade cannot be officially established as a core player this season, then Ade will seek a transfer and leave...

Although the Trail Blazers selected four players in the draft this year, the other two second-round picks did not get a chance to sign from the Trail Blazers. The new players are Zhang Feng and McCollum.

As the No. 10 pick in the first round, McCollum is also a scarce defensive line member for the Trail Blazers. Even if he doesn't have to stand in line, he can still guarantee enough playing time after recovering from injury and serve as a beneficial supplement to the Trail Blazers' defensive line.

But for Zhang Feng, a second-round pick, as the lowest player on the team so far, although he has a guaranteed contract, if he wants to get more playing time, it is naturally most effective to express his loyalty to the team boss.

Instead of licking the taciturn Aldridge, Lillard, who is definitely the same age and more outgoing, is closer to him. (Well, it’s actually just a golden finger attack. How could Zhang Feng choose the future Blazers boss when he clearly knew

Go play with Aldridge on Hell Difficulty!)

"nice shot!"

As Lillard's three-pointer hit the net, Zhang Feng stood up from the bench in excitement, waving the towel in his hand to cheer for Lillard!

When the team was on defense, Zhang Feng shouted "Defense" loudly from the sidelines!

Although he was unable to participate in the game, Zhang Feng, who is "lively", has been making his presence felt.

Dancing towel horizontally!

Dance the towel vertically!

Wave the towel around your head!

Waving the towel sideways...

Zhang Feng transformed into a "Towel Man" on the sidelines. Every time Lillard made some gains on the offensive end, the camera turned to the sidelines, and Zhang Feng could always be seen changing his reserved Eastern personality and using his skills very extrovertly on the sidelines.

Use towels as weapons to cheer for your teammates.

In the first game of the new season, Lillard was also on full fire. He scored 6 three-pointers in the whole game and scored 32 points!

Zhang Feng on the sidelines used different towel waving movements to match each of Lillard's shots and hit the net!

When Lillard was resting, Zhang Feng still worked hard to cheer for other teammates on the sidelines, but no matter how perfunctory he looked, his movements of waving the towel were also so simple. It was obvious that Lillard was being treated specially.

Of course, waving a towel is also a lot of exercise, and Zhang Feng sometimes needs to sit back on the bench, drink a drink, and take a breather.

At this time, Zhang Feng will chat with McCollum, who is wearing a suit and leather tie on the sidelines. After all, they are also sports partners who have played together for two years. The relationship between Zhang Feng and McCollum is still good. In the unfamiliar league of the NBA,

The two still have a natural affinity.

The second boss of the future team is his best friend. The team boss looks like he appreciates him. Zhang Feng feels that as long as he can train well and with the support of the two bosses, he can gain a foothold in the Trail Blazers no matter what.

Bar!

In the end, Lillard scored 32 points in this game, and the Trail Blazers failed in their first game of the season on the road, losing their first defeat of the season 91-104.

It is worth mentioning that Aldridge also scored 28 points in this game, a high score for an inside player, but there was an obvious separation of offensive tactics between him and Lillard, which made the Blazers' overall offense not that good.

The remaining players only scored 31 points, and you know that the Blazers were stuck in the individual offensive performances of the two core players throughout the game.

However, Zhang Feng, who looked like a dog licker, became completely popular during the game through the live broadcast of CCTV.

Many Chinese players who have no ball to play in the NBA usually sit quietly on the bench, like a spectator. Zhang Feng, who quickly integrated into the NBA team, has become the focus of discussion among Chinese basketball fans, although everyone has not yet

How come I have seen Zhang Feng’s playing ability, but with one hand?
