NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker

January 18th.

UCLA ushered in the game against the University of Utah.

"Bamot, go up! Go up! Go up!"

"Brother Jun, charge! Charge! Charge!"

"After the pick-and-roll, move faster and pay attention to my passing brother!"

boom!

UCLA completed a highly coordinated high-post double block, and Zhang Jun cut in with his bare hands and successfully dunked.

After the loss in the previous game, all members of the UCLA Bruins adjusted very quickly, and they played a very smooth offense in today's game.

Love hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Darren Collison was hot on the outside. The most eye-catching one was Mbah a Moute. His shadowy defense put a lot of pressure on the players from the opposite University of Utah, and at the same time, he still maintained his position on the outside. With a good shooting percentage of 2 out of 3 shots.

"The familiar UCLA Bruins are back!"

Sid finally said with a sigh of relief.

After experiencing a constipated offense and defense in the last game, West Germany had been worried about how long it would take for the team to adjust its state.

After all, the competition in the division is already halfway through, and UCLA is about to compete for rankings and compete in a life-or-death league championship game.

A little carelessness will waste the team's efforts throughout the season.

There are many such cases in the history of the NCAA. An NCAA team performed well in games outside the division and within the division, but unfortunately lost the game in the conference championship game due to ups and downs in form.

Just lose one game and this team's entire season's hard work will be in vain.

"This is also the scariest part of the NCAA. One game determines the outcome, which is equivalent to a life-and-death tiebreaker in every game."

"But I have confidence in them." Alford said easily, crossing his arms.

The team's defeat in the last game also sounded the alarm for him, that is, the UCLA Bruins were too smooth. They had not lost a game since the beginning of games outside the division, causing the players' self-confidence to skyrocket.

If it hadn't been for the defeat in this game, they might have felt that they could even win the NBA championship.

"The presence of Zhang Jun and Aaron Afflalo makes me believe that we will go further."

"I said when we were winning out-of-conference games, this team doesn't have what it takes to compete with Florida."

"But now, I think we have the capability."

The only thing missing is the ability to face difficulties and setbacks.

Alford is very satisfied with the performance of Zhang Jun and Aaron Afflalo. He firmly believes that the two will always lead this team along the right path.

The first half of the game is over.

UCLA has taken a 10-point lead at 48:38.

auditorium.

Trail Blazers general manager Steve Patterson frowned and looked at everything happening on the court with some solemnity.

"In terms of physical talent, this kid is truly one of the best among rookies, even compared to super freshman Kevin Durant."

"In terms of scoring ability, his breakthrough in the NCAA is unstoppable, and he is outstanding even in the NBA."

"In terms of basketball IQ, if you look at his positioning and timing when executing offensive and defensive tactics, he is simply a perfect player."

Nate McMillan excitedly introduced Zhang Jun to Steve Patterson, even praising himself to the point where he felt a little embarrassed.

Although Steve Patterson is not the team coach and does not see many tactical details and movements very clearly, it does not affect his ability to distinguish the quality of a player.

Each team's general manager has his own set of selection methods, which can be roughly divided into two categories.

The first type is based on talent. As long as the player's performance on the court is not too bad, the stronger the physical talent, the higher the height he can reach in the future.

Especially for the group of All-Stars and even superstars, talent often affects their strength and future heights.

Another type of selection method is actual combat ability, which needs to consider the player's comprehensive performance on the court, personal ability, tactical execution and team cohesion.

The advantage of choosing this type of player is that the team basically does not have to spend too much energy cultivating him, and can just let him develop naturally and work hard to complete the tasks assigned by the coach and the team.

"Of course, there will be a special case in the draft every year, and that is young rookies who have both talent and practical ability."

"This type of player is the favorite of all teams, because it means that the probability of scratching the wrong lottery ticket will be greatly reduced."

"But these types of players tend not to be picked too low, and they have to be at least a lottery pick."

"Zhang Jun is a young player with both talent and practical ability."

Hearing Steve Patterson praise the opponent so much, Nate McMillan said enthusiastically.

"So, I think we can definitely take him down!"

Steve Patterson was silent for a while and said: "I will think about it carefully. This game does not mean anything."

"The NCAA will hold the league championship game soon. That is the best time to examine the players' ability to fight tough battles."

"The Trail Blazers only have one lottery ticket in the first round this year, which is a very important asset to the team, so I will not bet on a player easily."

boom!

Now suddenly there was a cry of exclamation from the fans.

Steve Patterson looked curiously and saw that it was Zhang Jun who completed the steal and then launched a 360° dunk, igniting the atmosphere of the entire stadium.

Steve Patterson couldn't help but applaud, looked at Nate McMillan who was a little disappointed and said.

"Now let us enjoy the game and see the youthful storm brought by this group of high-spirited young people."

On the court.

The UCLA Bruins were unstoppable, and Zhang Jun's explosive dunk over three people once again aroused excited applause from the fans.

"Brother Jun, you did a great job!"

"This can definitely be regarded as the fifth dunk today. The first four dunks also came from my handsome brother."

With 2 minutes left in the second half, UCLA already led 96:70 by a full 26 points!

Alford was so satisfied with tonight's game that in order to prevent accidents from happening, he decisively called a timeout to make substitutions at this time.

All the team's main players such as Zhang Jun, Love, and Mbah a Moute were replaced, and the bench players were sent directly to the court to play the rest of the game.

Zhang Jun received warm congratulations from his teammates when he came off the court. He scored 36 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Following the last game, he once again produced jaw-dropping statistics.

Finally the game is over.

UCLA won the game 101:80.

Post-game interview.

"UCLA suffered its first loss of the season in the last game. Just two days later, UCLA regained its composure and scored 100 points for the first time in the season, winning a hearty victory."

"What made you adjust so quickly?"
