A 44-point barrage, the first by a rookie this season!

Live Fans and commentators are quiet.

Zeng Zhen's performance makes this Lakers team look less like Lakers.

This Lakers team previously gave people the impression that it was similar to the 76ers, a team led by Kobe, a super scorer.

They don't play as a unit a lot of the time.

But now that Kobe is out, the Lakers are playing more like a team.

Los Angeles.

Kirby's villa home.

Because he is still recovering from an injury, Kobe did not go on the road with the team.

But Kobe is still following the Lakers game.

The Lakers have won 3 in a row since Kobe's injury, and then this 4th game looked like it had a good chance to be won as well.

Kobe watched Zeng Zhen's aerial feed to Bynum in thought.

Turns out having a good point guard makes such a difference to the team.

Kobe has always believed that the point guard can do what he can do, and that the Lakers need the point guard's role to be to bring the ball across the half-court and just give it to him.

Kobe hasn't worked with a top-notch point guard in his career so far.

Zeng Zhen's appearance, on the contrary, gave Kirby a whole new idea.

Zeng Zhenneng pushed the ball across half-court with the ball and then made that same type of play without possessing the ball.

Should be comfortable working with that kind of point guard.

In Kobe's eyes, he has defaulted to Zeng Zhen as the Lakers' starting point guard.

Kobe is a little impatient for a comeback.

.....

"He had a great three in this quarter and another great mid-range."

"Why he said he could surpass Jordan, I don't think that's considered bragging now."

"Zeng Jin's purpose is to draw the black sons over and then conquer them one by one."

"It's so accurate, it's horribly accurate."

The 76ers home fans also had to marvel at Zeng Zhen's terrific outside shooting percentage.

Basically, whenever Zeng Zhen strikes, it means a hit.

That kind of shooting is frightening.

Next.

76ers offense.

Iverson dribbles into the lane as he breaks a split to Korver on the outside.

Korver got his hands up and made a three.

The basketball made a wonderful arc.

"Swish!"

An arrow through the heart!

101 to 91.

The 76ers also hit a three.

Laker offense.

Zeng Zhen dribbled the ball across half-court and proceeded to give it to Odom.

Zeng Zhen continues to run wild.

Iguodala has been giving Zeng Zhen a confrontation, and Zeng Zhen has become the main focus of the 76ers' defense.

Odom played smart, he saw that the attention of the defense was attracted away by Zeng Zhen, and he took a stride of his own to burst Webber.

Webb doesn't defend too tightly and gets a takedown into Odom's guard.

Odom took a three-step layup and put the ball up against it.

103 to 91.

76ers offense.

Iverson dribbles upcourt.

After a series of backward shots, the ball was back in Iverson's hands.

Iverson plays blocker with Dalembert.

Iverson rushes in and draws a defensive foul on Zeng Zhen this time.

Iverson stepped up to the free throw line and made a solid two free throws.

103 to 93.

Laker offense.

Odom dribbles to the frontcourt.

Zeng Zhen is still tirelessly running and pulling.

Zen Master was watching Zeng Zhen from the field and liked it more and more.

This constant running of Zeng Zhen will make the plays much more successful.

Odom continued his slow three-step break, this time giving the ball to Vujacic who cut inside.

Vujacic's lofted layup misses.

Odom on the other side of the floor picked up the rebound and gave it to Zeng Zhen on the outside.

Zeng Zhen caught the ball at the top of the arc and he faked a shot.

Iverson and Iguodala jumped up at the same time.

Zeng Zhen recovered, dribbled in low and burst in, and pulled up again from mid-range at the free throw line.

Push shot out.

"Swish!"

Still into it.

105 to 93.

Zeng Zhen's shooting ability conquered his teammates and opponents alike.

"Crap, enter again."

"Zeng Zhen pitched crazy, any way he could."

"The 76ers still aren't giving up enough defensive pressure."

"Zeng Zhen dismantled the 76ers' loose defense."

"There's no defense, there's really no defense."

"One wobble and you're flying, the 76ers defense is real bad."

"Zeng Zhen did the 76ers all by himself."

"If it was Iverson blowing out Zeng Zhen in the first three quarters, then it was Zeng Zhen blowing out Iverson in the fourth quarter."

"Zeng Zhen is awesome!!!"

"Man stops man, Buddha stops Buddha, such a Zeng Zhen is too fierce."

"Starting today, I'm a Zeng Zhen fan."

Before the match, there are a lot of black Zeng Zhen's fans and media ready to catch some Zeng Zhen's black material out in this match.

It's just a shame that Zeng Zhen's performance on the field was so crazy that those fans and the media were a little bit convinced.

This mouthy rookie looks like he's got some material after all.

Fans who haven't seen the first three matches have also been checking out Zeng Zhen's profile.

Do we have this bull in the country at linebacker anymore?

When did that happen?

Although the 76ers were frantically chasing points during this period, none of their efforts made much of a difference.

The tone of the game on the field was set.

On the road, the Lakers deadlocked the 76ers.

The final score was set at 118-108.

The Lakers beat the 76ers by 10 points.

Zeng Zhen this game, played 38 minutes, two-point field goals 8 of 14, three-point field goals 7 of 13, free throws 7 of 7, the game combined to blast 44 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds data.

Blasted 40+ for the first time in his career and had four straight 30+ stats.

After the match, Zeng Zhen takes a bow and thanks the fans for their support.

Obviously, it was a provocative response to the action.

"This rookie is so annoying."

"Fark, he dared to provoke us."

"Winning games floats your boat."

The fans at the venue booed again.

Zeng Zhen smiled and celebrated with his teammates before walking over to Iverson.

"AI, I'm a fan, can I trade jerseys with you?"

"Sure."

Instead of looking petty in the loss, Iverson exchanged jerseys with Zeng Zhen.

Zeng Zhen's performance on the field has made Iverson feel like a player on his level.

Iverson also appreciates players like Zeng Zhen who have risen from the bottom.

"Rookie, I really like your personality and I hope you keep it up." Iverson said after exchanging jerseys with Zeng Zhen.

"Well, I'll stick to myself." Zeng Zhen nodded.

"It's not that easy to stick to yourself, you'll encounter a lot of difficulties and pressure in the process, you played well tonight, but it's still not enough, you need to follow through to every game." Iverson felt that Zeng Zhen was very similar to himself, and he purposely said a little more.

Zeng Zhen nodded, "Okay, I'll try to do that."

Zeng Zhen is now starting to enjoy the game as well, he likes the feeling of beating his opponent.

Iverson may have had many problems in life, but when it came to basketball, he was very focused.

After communicating with him briefly, Zeng Zhen turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.

Iverson looked down at Zeng Zhen's back with complicated eyes, and he didn't high-five his teammates or interact with the fans, but also walked straight back to the locker room.

Zeng Zhen hadn't even reached the player's tunnel yet when he was stopped by reporters.

It's still the female ESPN reporter, Erin Antrus.

Today Erin is dressed in a red dress.

Blonde hair, bright red lips like a bright cherry, soft and inviting.

Erin was sizing up Zeng Zhen early on, Zeng Zhen was the best player tonight, even the 42 points Iverson got paled in front of Zeng Zhen.

Erin smiled a sweet smile and smiled at Zeng Zhen, who nodded with her.

Zeng Zhen secretly sighed, this girl has a good figure in front and back.

Zeng Zhen did not reveal his inner thoughts.

Otherwise this reporter would have written a big story about the scandal between the two.

It's not about her personally, but the media just doesn't give Zeng Zhenliu a good impression.

Erin asked, "Tseng, before this match, you threatened to surpass Michael, which made a lot of people think you were arrogant, would you still say that now?"

That's a bit of a provocative question.

Zeng Zhen said, "Of course, it's my career goal, and I would still say that I want to surpass Michael in the NBA, and that's nothing to be ashamed of, and if a person doesn't even have a goal, and is even afraid to set it, then he's weak."

Zeng Zhen's attitude was still tough, only his kind of toughness was not disrespectful, but to make everyone respect the dream.

Erin then asked, "What do you think of Iverson?"

Zeng Zhen said, "He's a fighter, he's tenacious, and I enjoy playing against him."

Erin asked, "How do you want to respond to Andre Iguodala when he says he wants you to score less than 20 points and now you're getting 40+?"

Zeng Zhen said, "I have nothing to respond to, he's a flea."

Zeng Zhen's attitude towards Iguodala was one of disregard, from start to finish.

Do lions care about flea bites in their pursuit of prey?

It won't.

A lion will only focus on its prey!

As Irene looked at Zeng Zhen's expression and tone, she felt some admiration.

Competent and handsome with a dominant personality, such a cool guy.

Erin then asked, "You've blown out 30+ for the fourth game, and are even the first of the rookies to get 40+ this season, how did you do that?"

Said Zeng Zhen, "They were very lax on my defense and gave me very many openings, which is not a good defensive choice."

Erin then asked, "Do you feel resentful that Coach keeps playing you on the bench?"

Hearing such a question, Zeng Zhen was also speechless.

It's not possible to openly say something like that even if you have a grievance.

Said Zeng Zhen, "My playing time is starting, I don't mind when I play, and I always keep my trust in the coaches when it comes to the rotation."

....

....

After the interview was over, Irene signaled for the camera to go first, she put down the microphone and came over to whisper to Zeng Zhen, "Zeng, go to a nightclub together tonight?"

Zeng Zhen shook his head and said, "I have to rush to New York with the team piece by piece."

The Lakers' next game is on the road against the Knicks, and Zeng Zhen declined the chick's offer.

Erin said, "I'm sorry, I forgot you guys had a game, well, it'll be easier to add contact information then, next time you're in touch at work."

Zeng Zhen nodded, "OK!"

Zeng Jin gave Eileen his number.

As Zeng Zhen's fame grew, there were more and more people who wanted to establish contact with Zeng Zhen.

Both on and off the field.

....

Domestic.

Zeng Xiang had just finished his lunch, his eyes leaving the big TV in the cafeteria.

Zeng Xiang, Zeng Zhen's father and a physical education teacher at a high school in China, was Zeng Zhen's basketball coach, and from an early age he set Zeng Zhen's goal of becoming a professional player.

Zeng Zhen has the opportunity to impact the NBA, but also can not be separated from his dad's planning and training ability.

Zeng Zhen's mother's name is Liao Fang, an English teacher at the same high school, and his mother has been teaching Zeng Zhen full English conversation in his life since Zeng Zhen's elementary school.

This ability also helped Zeng Zhen have no problem communicating when he came to the United States.

Both parents were teachers, and what they did most with Zeng Jin was, well, preach!

Zeng Xiang thought of a conversation that had taken place between their families half a month earlier, the night before a game when Zeng Zhen was on the verge of being cut from the Lakers.

"Ah Zhen, this period of time should also think clearly, at this stage your ability and talent is not enough to impact the NBA, want to play the NBA, just by love is not enough." Zeng Xiang's words are as direct as ever, he told his son to recognize the reality.

"Ah Zhen, it's not that mom and dad don't support going after your dreams, but you also need to think about your own future, mom and dad only have you as a son, if you can't play in the NBA, dad and I still want you to come back to your country, mom doesn't want you to necessarily have much achievement in the future, she just wants you to be closer to us." Liao Fang said gently.

"I contacted a domestic CBA team, you can go to tryout after returning to China, according to your ability, it's not a big problem to play on the rotation in their place." Zeng Xiang said.

The parents' words were a bit of a blow, but they were realistic; they had given Zeng Zhen very much support, but support did not mean blind coddling.

"Thanks dad, but." Zeng Zhen paused "I don't want to give up like this, I want to try again, I don't want me to regret it when I'm old ...."

...

Thinking about the conversation with his son half a month ago, Zeng Xiang was also sighing.

Four games!

He watched his son take four games to get his feet wet in the NBA.

Biao Iverson, not down!

"Old Zeng, Xiao Zhen recently played can ah, today in front of Iverson looked 44 points, he should be in the national team, right?" A teacher from the same school came over and said to Zeng Xiang.

"Not yet, he needs to stabilize a bit more." Zeng Xiang said with slight pride, but humble content.

"When the time comes, we'll ask Zhen to come back and give a speech to the schoolchildren." The vice principal on the side said.

"This is no problem, I'll talk to him when the time comes." Zeng Xiang said.

The current Zeng Jin had started to make him proud as a father.

...

...

It was late at night when we arrived at our hotel in New York.

Zeng Zhen turned down Odom and Bynum's invitation to go to a nightclub.

Zeng Zhen is not like them, both of them are established in the team and can be very wavy, he can't be yet, he still has to keep working hard.

"Against Iverson, Zeng Zhen scored 44 points to prove himself.

"The Rookie Who Threatened to Outlast Jordan Explodes.

"Zeng Zhen Leads Lakers to 4 Straight Wins as Lakers Fall One Win Short of Top 8.

"Kirby's Injury, Zeng Zhen's Usurpation!

"Superstar Shoots 76ers with Shot!

All the major media outlets have been covering the game as well.

Zeng Zhen's sparring match with Iverson made many people who wanted to see him being educated by Iverson facepalm.

Against the established supergiant, Zeng Zhen, as a rookie, was not abused, but instead put up a great performance and led his team to a win.
