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

"But I'm not optimistic that Greg Oden can do this. It's not that his talent is lower than Yao Ming. To be precise, I'm worried about his glass-like attributes."

"I have already sent people to secretly investigate Greg Oden. He has long and short legs. His left leg is 3cm longer than his right leg. Because his buttocks were operated on when he was a child, the muscles atrophied."

"Honestly, if an athlete competing at the NBA level has such a physical condition, it is only a matter of time before he will suffer a serious injury!"

The assistant coach was stunned as he listened. He didn't expect that there was such a thing. If other teams in the league didn't know about this, wouldn't they suffer a big loss?

The more he thought about it, the less he dared to think about it.

Sam Presti affirmed: "So, even if you let me choose 10,000 times, I will never choose Greg Oden!"

.........

Lakers general manager's office.

Kupchak kept tapping his head with the tip of his pen.

"He is ranked fifth among college students in the United States. Why would the Lakers choose him?"

It's not even possible to choose him.

Because Kobe's temperament will not allow the Lakers to mess up. The key is that the Lakers' record at this stage cannot be messed up at all.

The Western Conference is ranked seventh, neither up nor down.

Although the current college rankings do not mean future draft rankings, Kupchak was prepared for Zhang Jun's ranking to improve as early as after the last Los Angeles Derby game between UCLA and the University of Southern California.

But being directly promoted to fifth place in the nation still left Kupchak at a loss.

"Ranked fifth in the country. With the current draft situation this year, I'm afraid I have to sell everything to get him in a trade."

........

The Trail Blazers held a management meeting.

There were extremely heated debates and serious polarization at the meeting.

The management, headed by team general manager Steve Patterson, valued Greg Oden very much. They believed that the opponent had Bill Russell's defense, Duncan's offense, and O'Neal's future.

The coaching team headed by head coach Nate McMillan very much hopes that the team can acquire Zhang Jun and obtain a very important position attacker.

General manager Steve Patterson ended the meeting by saying, "None of the players we discussed have yet to declare for this year's NBA draft, just like Al Horford and Joakim Noah did last year."

"It's clear that as long as the two of them decide to participate in the draft, one can become the top three picks in the draft, and the other can be at least the top ten."

"But no one thought that they would give up their great future and choose to stay in Florida to help the school achieve two consecutive championships."

"So, it's too early for us to debate this here."

"Maybe Zhang Jun won't participate in this year's draft at all."

After all, Zhang Jun mentioned in the previous post-game press conference that he is not considering the draft for the time being.

The NBA league office also announced this year's draft arrangements a few days ago.

April 26 is the deadline to register for the early draft, and May 8 is the deadline to withdraw from the draft.

The lottery drawing ceremony will be held on May 19th, and each team in the league can hold trial training or joint trial training in the week after May 20th.

The NBA Draft will be held on June 28 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.

........

March 1st.

The league championship game has officially begun.

UCLA's first game against the University of Utah!

On-field interview.

"Coach Yin Beier, you are going to face the UCLA Bruins, which has the best record in the country, tonight. Are you ready?"

University of Utah head coach Yin Beier Sherman smiled bitterly. The two teams had already played against each other in the previous regular season.

As a result, UCLA won the game 101:80. That game was also the first time the UCLA Bruins scored more than 100 points this season.

To be honest, in a competition like the NCAA, there are not many teams that can score 100 points in a single game. The UCLA Bruins really have some amazing firepower.

Yinber Sherman said: "UCLA is indeed a very strong team, but the University of Utah will not give up to them easily."

"We are well prepared and will strictly defend Zhang Jun. As long as we can guard him, the University of Utah will have a chance to win."

Player tunnel.

Aaron Afflalo stood in the center of the crowd, high-fived and said: "The league championship is a single-round elimination system. This is a game that cannot be lost under any circumstances, but we will definitely win this game tonight."

"Stay patient, stay focused, and play UCLA basketball!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "UCLA Brown Bears are invincible."

Players enter.

The flashlights flashed frequently around the Pauley Pavilion, and when Zhang Jun came on the court, the entire arena erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Son of California!"

"Win this game!"

“We’re going to make it to the tournament, to March Madness!”

Zhang Jun felt the intense lighting at the scene and couldn't help but feel excited.

Seeing this scene, West Germany off the court couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is already a star player."

Alford nodded. After all, Zhang Jun ranked fifth in the latest national college rankings and has almost become the most popular college player in the United States. Naturally, he will receive such treatment.

Prior to this, UCLA's best player was Jordan Farmar, but the spotlight and pursuit he faced at that time was far from being comparable to Zhang Jun.

Going further back, UCLA has not produced a first-round NBA draft pick for six years. Only in 2000, Jerome Moyinso was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 11th overall pick in the first round.

"He may become another high-ranking player from UCLA after the bearded Baron Davis was selected as the third overall pick in the NBA in 1999."

Game start!

Jump ball at midfield.

Abaya jumped high and took the offensive ball in the first round.

Darren Collison advanced with the ball and immediately saw Zhang Jun being defended at an almost inhuman level in the frontcourt.

One person went around to block the position and engaged in a lot of physical confrontation with Zhang Jun. The other person helped defend from behind and blocked Zhang Jun's opportunity to run back and penetrate the inside.

"Move!"

Darren Collison signaled his teammates to quickly clear one side to open up space.

Love and Aboya made a double block inside, and Love quickly pulled away and ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line to get the ball in an open position.

Aboya stepped up to screen for Zhang Jun, leaving the inside undefended.

"This tactic is very purposeful!"

Zhang Jun took advantage of the pick-and-roll and ran back inside. The University of Utah's strong side double-teamed him, directly losing Aboya as the defender to guard Zhang Jun.

"This defense is very strong!"

Seeing that Zhang Jun had no chance to catch the ball, Darren Collison passed the ball directly to Abaya who was open.

The moment the latter caught the ball, he went straight to the basket.

"This tactic is a great one!"

Although Aboya doesn't have much shooting ability, he is a big center after all. When he hits the basket, the University of Utah has to send players to make up for it no matter what.

Zhang Jun crossed the baseline in the penalty area and reached the weak side corner. At this time, center Clinton Chavez, who was guarding Aboya, did not dare to follow him and double-team him.

Zhang Jun finally faced the University of Utah defender, shooting guard Camilo Lloyd, alone with the ball.
