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

The game started with a jump ball at midfield.

Abeya jumped the ball for UCLA in the first round of the offense, and Darren Collison advanced with the ball.

"Boy, come and break through me!"

Julian Wright put one hand on Zhang Jun's back, and leaned his chest against Zhang Jun's shoulder, and stretched out his right hand to block Zhang Jun and Darren Collison.

This is a very good defensive habit, because it looks like two cars chasing each other in the F1 race, so this kind of defense is also jokingly called defensive overtaking by fans.

"Brother Jun?!"

Darren Collison found that Zhang Jun had been tightly guarded, and he really couldn't decide whether to pass or not.

Zhang Jun also felt the pressure brought to him by Julian Wright's defense. He first turned sideways to the right to get rid of Julian Wright's defense, but the opponent's hand on Zhang Jun's back shoulder played a role.

Julian Wright used his hidden strength to block Zhang Jun from moving to the basket, and at the same time, he quickly pulled his body back and returned to the state of confronting Zhang Jun head-on.

Zhang Jun ran back and raised his hand to the top of the arc, and Julian Wright's other hand was always between Zhang Jun and Darren Collison.

This defense is really strong!

"Pick and roll!"

Zhang Jun moved sideways in front of Darren Collison, and the latter immediately understood and formed a human wall.

Julian Wright was blocked by Darren Collison, and Zhang Jun took the ball and stood outside the three-point line at the same time.

"Get out of my way!"

Julian Wright pushed his teammate Savva Barton and told him not to match up with Zhang Jun.

In the entire University of Kansas, only Julian Wright could possibly defend Zhang Jun.

Julian Wright faced Zhang Jun again, he was fully focused, clenched his fists, squatted slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and kept his eyes on Zhang Jun, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

Huh!

"Fuck!"

Zhang Jun suddenly started to walk to the right, and passed Julian Wright in one step. The latter had a good defensive awareness and immediately used side defense to make up for it.

At the same time, Eunice Warren, the 211cm center in the interior of the University of Kansas, quickly stepped up to make up for the defense.

The coaching staff of the University of Kansas obviously made very sufficient preparations, knowing that when Zhang Jun broke through and entered the penalty area, the best way to defend him was to intercept him with a big center.

But Zhang Jun has been facing such defensive targets from opponents throughout the season, and he has long been accustomed to playing in this defensive style.

He leaned forward with his left foot to test, and quickly stepped to the right with his right foot. After a fake step, he made a one-handed layup.

"Textbook European step!"

Julian Wright wanted to make up for the defense behind him, but what he never expected was that Zhang Jun's arm span was better than his.

His physical talent was already very good in the NCAA, but he met a player who was even more abnormal than him, which made Julian Wright very shocked.

"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't trash talk to someone who can't be defended at all." Zhang Jun responded with trash talk.

Julian Wright was so angry that he grinned and shouted that he would make Zhang Jun look good in the next round.

Switching offense.

Julian Wright knew that his offensive means were not good, so he didn't ask for singles against Zhang Jun at this time.

He chose to run to screen his teammate Savage Barton, and then go down to attract the attention of the defense. After not getting a good opportunity, he immediately screened for center Eunice Warren, and then bounced out to the three-point line to find an open opportunity.

Zhang Jun admired Julian Wright very much. Unlike Nick Young before, although Julian Wright wanted to respond to Zhang Jun, he didn't go into a dead end and use singles one after another, but used other ways to help the team.

Pick-and-roll, running, looking for opportunities, and immediately go to see how the point guard teammates are going to execute the next offense after failing to play a tactic.

If he breaks through the basket, he will try to rebound. If it is a mid-range or long-range shot, he will immediately block the opponent and help center Eunice Warren get a more comfortable space to grab the ball.

Once he fails to grab the rebound, Julian Wright will quickly return to defense to limit the opponent's transition offense.

"If nothing else, Julian Wright is indeed a very hardworking and team-spirited player."

The University of Kansas, which failed in offense, began to defend Zhang Jun. As a wildcard team, they were able to successfully break through the wildcard game and enter the first round of March Madness. This is already a very difficult thing.

It's just that the gap between them and UCLA in strength is too obvious. Zhang Jun began to create opportunities for his teammates after encountering strict defense.

After successfully losing weight, Love gradually surpassed Mbah a Moute to become UCLA's third scorer. As an offensive power forward, he is now more accustomed to the intensity and rhythm of NCAA games.

During the period when Zhang Jun was frequently double-teamed, he made 8 of 16 shots in the restricted area and the outside high-altitude cannon, and scored a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Mbah a Moute's defensive performance was extremely impressive. After Love took over the responsibility of the team's third scorer, he almost focused all his attention on defense, with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Aboya was also very happy to receive Zhang Jun's breakthrough pass, with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, and completed his task under the basket excellently.

Darren Collison and Zhang Jun's playing styles are very similar, focusing on breakthroughs. After Zhang Jun attracted defensive double-teams, his breakthrough scoring efficiency has improved a lot compared to last season. According to the draft given by ESPN The ranking has also risen again and again.

Moreover, Darren Collison also has an ability that Zhang Jun does not have at all, which is the combination of sudden shots. In this game, he scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Zhang Jun's performance was still efficient, making 10 of 16 shots and 6 of 8 free throws. He once again scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

UCLA won its first victory of the tournament 91:80.

"Well done guys!"

"You couldn't fault the game tonight."

Alford high-fived the players with satisfaction.

In the first game of the tournament, facing opponents from the National League, UCLA did not have stage fright and played its own offense. This was a good start.

And Alford noticed that Zhang Jun had not yet fully exerted his strength. Facing the extremely defensive opponent Julian Lett, his offense was still easy and comfortable.

"This is UCLA's confidence in this year's championship!"

After the game, Julian Laite took the initiative to find Zhang Jun, and the two gave him a big hug without saying much.

Julian Lait admires Zhang Jun's frightening breakthrough, and Zhang Jun admires Julian Lait's dedication to putting the team first.

Although they were rivals on the court and even had intense confrontations, they had become good friends the moment the game whistle ended.

"The Kansas game is over, and my NCAA is over."

"I will take a good rest tomorrow and then find an agent to apply for the NBA draft."

Speaking of which, Julian Laite squeezed Zhang Jun's shoulder hard.

"I believe there is no pressure to enter the NBA with your ability. I will wait for you in front."

Zhang Jun hesitated for a while and did not nod, because he had not considered this issue until now.

If Julian Wright had said this to him just after his high school league, Zhang Jun would have told him without hesitation: I am ready to land in the NBA.

But now, Zhang Jun looked back at his good brothers.
