"I'm going to come over here and bump into me, you old bastard!"

Kendrick Perkins, who was knocked to the ground, spread his hands and looked at Zhang Jun with an innocent face. He looked aggrieved and kept chattering.

However, this won't win the referee's sympathy or foul, and it can only be used to satisfy one's mouth.

Celtics head coach Doc Rivers was slapping his thigh in annoyance on the sidelines. At this time, he finally understood the problem with his formation, so he called a timeout directly towards the technical table. .

The Celtics restructured their lineup and acquired Kendrick Perkins and Tony Allen.

"The Celtics' intention to make this substitution is very clear."

Kenny Smith carefully analyzed and said: "We took down the slow-footed Kendrick Perkins and took out Tony Allen, who has excellent individual defensive ability."

"In this way, the Celtics have Kevin Garnett, the league's top assist defense ability, and Tony Allen, the top individual defense ability, on the court."

"If Zhang Jun wants to score as easily as before, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Barkley on the side nodded in agreement. After all, this is the Celtics team with the strongest defensive ability in the league. In his opinion, they should have played like this a long time ago. Doc Rivers should not have put Ken in the game at the beginning. Derrick Perkins brings it up.

After all, last season, Kendrick Perkins had proven that his defensive effect on Zhang Jun was almost minimal on the court.

Zhang Jun is not a powerful player like James who can penetrate into the paint like a tank. Facing such a player, Kendrick Perkins can also put his body up to prevent the opponent from reaching the basket, even if it results in a foul. Unacceptable image.

But a player like Zhang Jun who can complete attacks from almost any position on the court and is so incredibly fast requires extremely flexible defensive steps and defensive awareness from inside players. Otherwise, players like Kendrick Parkin If Si stays on the court like this, he will occupy space in the team because of his size, making it difficult for his teammates to catch up immediately.

This is why Kendrick Perkins came to help defend Zhang Jun in the two consecutive goals just now, instead of Kevin Garnett coming to help defend Zhang Jun.

It's not that Garnett didn't want to come, how could he come if Kendrick Perkins was ahead of him.

"Next, the Celtics' penalty area will be guarded by Garnett. Coupled with the outside gate Tony Allen's defensive block on Zhang Jun, the Blazers and Zhang Jun's offense should also be hindered."

On the court, the game continues.

Zhang Jun holds the ball from beyond the three-point line, and his opponent Tony Allen is indeed much better than Rajon Rondo in terms of defensive position and method.

He did not dig out the ball as frequently as the opponent, causing him to lose his defensive position many times. Instead, he kept his hands open in front of Zhang Jun, concentrating on observing the opponent's dribbling movements.

Zhang Jun's dribbling is very irregular. Sometimes he dribbles once with his right hand, sometimes twice with his right hand. When dribbling with his left hand, he will always turn sideways to protect the ball and look for breakthrough opportunities. Occasionally, he will also make some physical moves. Dribble forward with a low center of gravity.

This is the dribbling habit that Steve Francis taught Zhang Jun. Never dribble in a fixed way, always make changes and take the initiative to make changes.

This is the best way to prevent your opponent from prejudging the ball.

Seeing Zhang Jun's messy but stable control of the ball, Tony Allen finally understood why his teammate Rondo couldn't get the opponent's ball.

"It's hard for me to stop this dribble."

call!

Suddenly, Zhang Jun caught Tony Allen's stunning move and suddenly accelerated towards the basket.

boom!

Tony Allen was about to follow, but he inadvertently felt like there was a piece of wood stuck behind him, blocking him.

Channing Fletcher didn't know when to move up for a pick-and-roll. His pick-and-roll was also false. After pushing against Tony Allen, he immediately bounced outside the three-point line.

Tony Allen knew that the Trail Blazers had two professional marksmen who only shot three-pointers when they came on the court, so he didn't dare to give Channing a chance to get open and quickly followed him.

Garnett and Tony Allen have a good defensive understanding. The moment Tony Allen came up, he immediately changed defense and followed Zhang Jun.

Seeing that it was Garnett guarding him, Zhang Jun was not in a hurry and dribbled the ball to the outside.

This scene naturally made everyone understand what Zhang Jun meant.

The Trail Blazers players were all separated, and Tony Allen always felt a little uneasy. At this time, he wanted to rush over and double-team Zhang Jun.

"Alan! Don't come here!"

"Labour and management need to teach this rookie a lesson!"

Garnett shook his head and shouted to stop Tony Allen. At the same time, he stared at Zhang Jun with wolf-like eyes and breathed in and out.

Zhang Jun dribbled the ball with a low hand, and Garnett quickly stepped aside to defend. Zhang Jun took a tentative step and Garnett quickly took two steps back.

Uh-huh!

Zhang Jun collected the ball and shot from beyond the three-point line.

The basketball hits the basket steadily.

"Beautiful long-range three-pointer. Zhang Jun's offensive methods are becoming more and more abundant now."

Garnett, who was made a three-pointer, was a little embarrassed and stared at Zhang Jun unhappily.

"This is all you have, Zhang Jun?"

"Your singles level is far worse than Kobe and Anthony. You are not worthy of being the league's scoring leader."

Hehe, after hearing Garnett's trash talk, Zhang Jun couldn't help but chuckled and said back, "Kevin, you think too highly of me."

"If you can compare me with them, you have already lost."

Looking at Zhang Jun who was so proud of himself, Garnett became even more angry.

This kid really looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He doesn't mind that he is considered inferior to Kobe and Anthony.

The more Zhang Jun looked so nonchalant, the more it aroused Garnett's desire to win.

Paul Pierce wanted to respond in the mid-range, but Zhang Jun covered his eyes and the basketball hit the basket.

Trail Blazers possession.

Zhang Jun once again held the ball from the outside. The Portland fans stood up and shouted Zhang Jun's name.

Tony Allen is fully focused, and he doesn't want to be the backdrop for Zhang Jun to be singled out like Garnett.

At the critical moment, Channing Fletcher stepped up again for a pick-and-roll. Tony Allen cursed and was restrained by the opponent again. The scene on the court changed to Zhang Jun playing Garnett alone.

"You can't score this goal, I'm telling you!"

Garnett gritted his teeth there to cheer himself up.

Zhang Jun dribbled the ball with his low hand and said: "I can hit this ball, I said so."

call!

It was still a tentative step to dribble forward. This time Garnett did not dare to take two steps back. He just took one step back while always being wary of Zhang Jun's sudden three-point shot.

Zhang Jun suddenly accelerated twice after dribbling through the pause, and this time the acceleration was even more fierce and rapid.

"too fast!"

Zhang Jun made a mistake and passed Garnett directly to the basket. The latter followed closely and chased Zhang Jun to complete the chase behind him.

boom! ! ! !

Zhang Jun dunked on the frame, and Garnett chased the ball behind him and blocked the air. It also became the perfect background for Zhang Jun's dunk.

The fans at the scene went crazy, and Doc Rivers called a timeout again under the roar.

"Playing like crazy! Playing like crazy! Zhang Jun was absolutely stunning in this quarter. He is indeed the king of the second quarter in the eyes of the fans."

Kenny Smith shouted angrily.

The excited fans at the scene also ignited his equally excited emotions.

Barkley was silent for a long time. The Celtics couldn't guard Zhang Jun, Garnett couldn't guard them, Tony Allen couldn't guard them, and the entire Celtics team couldn't guard them. If Zhang Jun wants to score, the only thing that can affect him is his own touch.

Barkley remembered that he had encountered this kind of player before, but at that time the opponent was already at the peak of his career.

"But Zhang Jun is not yet 22 years old, he is too young."

At the end of halftime, the Trail Blazers led 60:52.

60 points at halftime, this is the highest score the defending champion Celtics have allowed their opponents to score in a half since the start of this season.

In the third quarter, Zhang Jun continued to work hard. The connection between him and Luo Yin directly penetrated all the Celtics' defense lines. No matter what kind of defense the Celtics put up, they could not restrict this pair on the court. Score on.

Paul Pierce also wanted to launch a counterattack with the team in the fourth quarter. When he scored two goals and started clenching his fists and shouting excitedly, Zhang Jun's indiscriminate bombardment followed.

Zhang Jun faced Paul Pierce and used the opponent's familiar mid-range singles to finish the game.

"117:105."

"This is the highest score scored by an opponent this season for the Celtics. This team is considered the best defensive team of the season. Their defense was completely useless when facing Zhang Jun."

"They are still the defending champions from last season."

"I really want to ask, who can limit Zhang Jun, and whether anyone can stop the Blazers' offense on the court."

Buckley suddenly said: "Yes."

Kenny Smith turned his head in shock, looked at the other person and said, "Charles? Are you kidding me?"

"This is the Celtics, the team with the highest defensive efficiency in the league. If they can't do this, who else can?"

Barkley said seriously: "Have you forgotten the only player who could limit Zhang Jun to the penalty area last season? Have you forgotten those big blocks he gave Zhang Jun in the paint?"

After hearing Barkley's reminder, Kenny Smith immediately thought of it and said, "Are you talking about Howard, the monster from the Eastern Magic?"

Buckley nodded affirmatively.

In his opinion, Garnett has the league's top assist defense ability, and he was once considered the only player in the league who can defend from one to five.

But even if Garnett is flexible enough to compete with Zhang Jun, after all, his ability to protect the frame is no longer the top of the year. You must know that Garnett is almost 33 years old this season, and his body has begun to decline. .

The one who can really guard against Zhang Jun must be a player with the same talent as him, or even a player with more talent than him.

Warcraft Howard is the best candidate.

"The Magic have a very good record this season, and they have become a strong rival in the Eastern Conference. Strictly speaking, the Magic and the Trail Blazers are two very young teams. The only teams with such momentum, strength and speed Only then can it be possible to limit the Blazers' offense."

"Furthermore, the Trail Blazers' one-star shooting in the second quarter can be learned from the Magic, which is also the best team in the league at shooting three-pointers and attacking."

"They have Howard inside, a group of gunners outside, and Turkish agent Hedo Turkoglu, a master passer. Maybe the Magic are not the strongest team in the league, but they can definitely defeat the Trail Blazers in all aspects. Suppressing team.”

The Christmas War is over.

The Blazers fans at the scene were completely crazy and lingered outside the arena for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Zhang Jun kept urging reporters to hurry up during the interview. He couldn't wait to leave the arena. Luo Yin and Aldridge, who were waiting on the side, also signaled reporters not to ask too many questions tonight. This is the annual Christmas.

However, Zhang Jun's popularity across the United States is now too terrifying, so their reminders failed to stop the reporters. They only received helpless smiles and continued their work.

It was already late at night when the interview ended. After briefly hugging his teammates, Steve Francis suggested that they all come out and get together tomorrow.

Just like Nicolas Batum said, anyway, Steve Francis has money and endless money. He is willing to spend money to treat everyone to dinner, so he must take advantage of it.

When Zhang Jun leaves the stadium, he will sign autographs and take photos with the fans who have been waiting for a long time in the tunnel. Although the game has ended for almost an hour, these fans are still waiting for him expectantly late at night.

Zhang Jun rarely disappoints them, so he patiently signs autographs for them after every game before leaving the arena.

"Zhang Jun, will you become MVP?"

"I've seen you become the scoring champion, and I want to see you become the MVP."

Looking at the cute little fan in front of him, Zhang Jun took off the bracelet from his wrist and gave it to the other person and said, "Well, is MVP so important?"

The young fan took the wristband and nodded happily and said: "Of course! They all say that MVP is the highest award in the regular season. Whoever wins this award will be the best basketball player that season."

"I'm sure you are, you are the best player, and you deserve this award."

Zhang Jun rubbed the boy's head and still persuaded: "Man, MVP is not that important. Really, winning is the most important, and the championship is the most important."

The little fan stretched out his fist and said: "No, you should get an MVP. The great Michael Jordan has an MVP trophy, and you should too."

Looking at the serious young fan pretending to be an adult, Zhang Jun couldn't help laughing. Looking at the opponent's fist still raised high, he sighed and touched it with his fist.

"Okay, I promise you I'll try to do it, but you know it's up to the media to decide who gets the award, and I can't do that. I can only promise you that I'm going to try to win and make my The data is even better.”

"That's enough!" The little boy nodded with great satisfaction.

Blake Lively leaned in the tunnel toward the garage, staring at the scene with a smile and blurred eyes.

In her eyes, the other person has never changed. From beginning to end, he is still Zhang Jun from UCLA, the first step in the United States.
