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

The referee whistle blows.

Under the expectant eyes of fans, the conference finals officially started.

Jump ball at midfield.

Texas center Zelos Bemba jumped for the ball on the first possession.

Texas offense.

Like UCLA, they also play a tactic with one player as the core of the offense.

Durant made an eagle loop and moved from the strong side to the weak side to catch the ball at the top of the arc. The weak side was immediately cleared by this movement.

Defending Durant is Mbah a Moute.

Durant turned his back to catch the ball and turned to the front. Mbah a Moute immediately defended and did not give Durant an easy chance to shoot.

Durant felt the frontal defensive pressure, took a step, then turned around and took a step away from the free throw line.

Uh-huh!

"You're going to vote now?"

"This is even good!"

Durant hit the ball steadily and retreated calmly. This ball was a routine operation for him.

"Bamot, how are you?"

Zhang Jun couldn't help but worry about Mbah a Moute's condition.

After all, as UCLA's strongest defensive player, he felt a little uncomfortable when he was criticized by Durant.

Bamot took a long breath and said still unconvinced: "I'm okay!"

Switch offense.

The shooting guard of the University of Texas is a player named Drew Lawrence. He is 199cm tall and weighs 98kg. Both height and strength are enough to compete with Zhang Jun.

More importantly, he is also a player with excellent defensive ability and is the best defensive team in the Big 12 Conference.

call!

Drew Lawrence was stunned when Zhang Jun passed by him. The latter quickly broke through to the basket and scored a layup.

"Is he so fast?!" Drew Lawrence said in disbelief.

Durant had already understood this and patted teammate Drew Lawrence on the shoulder at this time.

"Even Julian Wright, Al Thornton and Rodney Starkey were all passed by Zhang Jun in one step."

"It's not a shame if you can't guard him."

Drew Lawrence naturally knows that the three players Durant mentioned are all well-known defensive leaders in the United States. Even Julian Wright's defensive ability is inferior to Drew Lawrence.

Zhang Jun was able to get past them so easily, which really made Drew Lawrence a little unconvinced. They didn't have outstanding offensive talents and wanted to gain a foothold in the NBA. They relied on a stubborn attack and a strong-minded defense.

No matter how talented a player is on the offensive end, when they encounter a defensive player of their type, their offensive end will decline significantly.

But Zhang Jun, no matter who came, took the photo in one step.

This really hurts the defensive players' confidence.

Next round.

Durant beat Mbah a Moute in a single at the waist and hit a slightly faded mid-range shot.

Mbah a Moute was already struggling to defend the ball. His legs almost broke off from the ball, but he was still at least one hand away from Durant's release point.

This is how he defends Durant.

The latter doesn't even need to worry about his shot being blocked, he just needs to focus on hitting the basket. This is why Durant has always maintained a high shooting rate.

The only thing that can interfere with Durant is his own touch.

"Bamot, are you okay?"

This time it was Love who asked.

It would be strange if his mentality didn't break down after being beaten like this. At this time, Mbah a Moute finally realized what his previous opponents felt when they defended Zhang Jun.

I really wanted to beat him to death.

Mbah a Moute gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "I absolutely have to guard against him."

UCLA offense.

Zhang Jun singled against Drew Lawrence.

Use your left foot as your pivot foot. During the breakthrough process, you suddenly turn your back to Drew Lawrence. Use your left foot as the axis to turn forward. As you turn, your right foot steps out toward the basket. At the same time, your left shoulder presses down toward the side of the defender. , to protect the ball and actively seek physical confrontation. After pushing the ball with his right hand, he kicks off the ground with his left foot and steps forward, surpassing the opponent.

Uh-huh!

Hit!

"This is a forward-turning breakthrough!"

"I have to admit that Zhang Jun's breakthrough skills are really rich. Not to mention the NCAA players, even if they get to the NBA, I don't see many players who can defend this ball."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise.

But praise is praise. The game has been played for such a long time. The first half of the game is almost over. We haven’t seen Zhang Jun and Durant’s personal confrontation yet. This really makes Kenny Smith feel itchy.

Barkley said calmly: "Don't worry, there is still a long time in the game. If this continues, sooner or later the two of them will have to face off at some point."

"It depends on which head coach on both sides can't handle it first."

University of Texas head coach Barnes looked at the court with a solemn expression.

At 48:47, UCLA actually led the University of Texas.

Barnes noticed the player named Zhang Jun. He made 8 of 12 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He had already scored a terrifying 20 points before the half game was over.

Looking at his favorite disciple Durant, although he also performed well, he made 7 of 13 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 17 points, but his impact and pressure on the court seemed not as good as Zhang Jun's.

This is the first time that Barnes has felt that a player can suppress Durant on the offensive end, which is incredible.

When Durant arrived at the University of Texas training ground on his first day, Barnes noticed that any tactical system would restrict Durant's performance, so he tried every means to create offensive space for Durant and let him free his hands and feet. Solve everything.

As a result, the University of Texas has become a well-known offensive team throughout the NCAA.

"UCLA is very similar to us. They did the same thing as us, opening up space for Zhang Jun."

"UCLA is also a team that excels on the offensive end."

"But now, I have to admit, if the game continues like this, Texas will probably lose the game."

"So Zhang Jun, I'm starting to double-team you."

Barnes called a timeout and rearranged his defensive tactics.

Drew Lawrence and point guard Nagorny LeBron double-teamed Zhang Jun.

Drew Lawrence can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He has been guarding Zhang Jun alone, and he was almost stunned.

At the end of halftime, UCLA and the University of Texas were tied at 53:53.

"Guys, we have to find a way to limit Durant. As long as we limit his offense, the entire offense of the University of Texas will completely collapse."

Alford said with a somewhat anxious expression.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by Durant's performance on the court.

The opponent is worthy of being a player as famous as Zhang Jun.

Mbah a Moute was a little frustrated: "Coach, I'm afraid I can't guard that guy. His shooting point is too high and his shooting is too accurate."

Love agreed: "Even I can't necessarily interfere with Durant's shooting."

West Germany couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "With Durant's height and wingspan, I don't think anyone can defend him in a one-on-one situation."

"Coach, I'm afraid we can only attack with them."

Alford took a deep breath. At present, it seems that this is indeed the case, but he is a little unwilling to do so.

Because this offensive move is too desperate. If he wants UCLA to gain a greater chance of winning, he must guard Durant.

"Let me do it."
