183 The Background Board Is Probably Me

Switch offense.

Kobe singled out Zhang Jun in the mid-range and responded with a very difficult fadeaway jumper.

Kobe thought he had succeeded in revenge, and then Zhang Jun suddenly accelerated from outside the three-point line and went straight to the free throw line at the basket and started again!

boom! ! !

"Oh my God, Zhang Jun dunked on two people, riding Bynum and Gasol to complete the explosive dunk!"

"I finally understand why the Trail Blazers can play in the NBA opener. The visual effect is simply terrifying!"

The Lakers quickly sent a baseline pass, and Gasol passed a long pass to Kobe on the front line. His pass was fast and accurate. It is rare among big players to make such an accurate long pass.

Kobe caught the ball, but Zhang Jun was very fast and was already in front of Kobe, and the two were one-on-one.

Kobe suddenly used a fake move to turn around, and then slipped inside and scored a layup.

After scoring the goal, Kobe stared at Zhang Jun and trash-talked: "This is technology."

Zhang Jun endured a hand and did not immediately retaliate with the trash talk. Instead, he immediately devoted himself to the transition attack, holding the ball outside the three-point line or playing alone against Kobe.

This time Zhang Jun was faster and Kobe couldn't keep up.

boom!

Another dunk riding Bynum.

"This is called one force defeating ten societies."

"You're technically better than me, but my physical talents are better than yours."

Zhang Jun responded with trash talk.

This is not the first time Kobe has heard such trash talk. McGrady liked to spray him like this back then.

Kobe was very unhappy, "This brat dares to say that he has better talent than me. Does he look down on my talent?"

The trash talk on the court was also listened to by Kenny Smith and Barkley.

Barkley said: "Kobe's talent is actually pretty good and is considered top-notch in the entire history of the NBA. Especially his jumping ability is at the same level as Jordan's. The nickname Peter Pan didn't come randomly."

"But compared with Zhang Jun..."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "Zhang Jun is the No. 1 pick after all. His physical talent ranks among the highest in NBA history. Counting to the top, he can probably compete with the talents of Greg Oden, James, Duncan and others. He compared it."

Compared with Zhang Jun's talent, Kobe Bryant does seem to be inferior. Even Tracy McGrady may not dare to say that his physical talent is better than Zhang Jun's.

Kenny Smith couldn't help but say, "Zhang Jun's trash talk is a bit shameless."

Then Kobe and Zhang Jun staged a personal peak matchup. If you fight one of the two, you will definitely return the other in the next round.

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene was also aroused, and all the fans screamed wildly and their hearts beat faster.

Kenny Smith watched with great interest and said: "This game is really beautiful to watch."

"It's so comfortable to see such a wonderful game in the first game of the new season."

Barkley said: "But if you take a closer look, the Trail Blazers are already 5 points ahead."

"In the final offensive stage, Zhang Jun was a more efficient player than Kobe."

Zen Master could no longer sit still and began to use double-team defense against Zhang Jun. The result was that Zhang Jun passed the ball and the Blazers blossomed inside and outside.

The score quickly reached double digits.

In the end, the Lakers surrendered and lost 109:116 at the end of the game.

The Trail Blazers got off to a good start.

On-field interview.

An ESPN reporter said: "Zhang Jun, you made 15 of 24 shots tonight, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. This is a perfect record. "

"We noticed that you are at the top of the prediction list for the league's scoring champion and regular season MVP. Do you have the idea of ​​competing for these two awards this season?"

Zhang Jun wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder and said: "I said last season that I don't care very much about personal awards. I care more about whether the team can win. I care more about the team's success." Whether the lineup is reasonable or not, I’m more worried about how far we can go in the playoffs.”

"This is something I care about very much. As for personal glory, I choose to let it take its own course. I don't particularly pursue these things."

Post-game interview.

Kobe looked at the statistics in his hand and looked very unhappy.

A reporter said: "Kobe, you scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists tonight. Your performance was very impressive, and the young player Zhang Jun who played against you also performed well. Are you willing to give him some advice on his career?" Any valuable suggestions?”

Kobe rubbed his lips in displeasure and said, "He already scored 37 points. What advice can I give him?"

"Let him fend for himself."

.........

The Trail Blazers' first five games were all away games. Zhang Jun scored at least 3 three-pointers in each of the five consecutive games, averaging 36 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. More importantly, the Trail Blazers relied on Zhang Jun's unparalleled performance on the offensive end directly won the first five consecutive victories, becoming the team with the best record in the league.

In the sixth game, the Trail Blazers finally returned to their home court and played the first game of the new season in Portland. Their opponent was the Oklahoma City Thunder.

On the court.

Westbrook raised his hands and sprinted across the court, then roared toward the arena.

Kenny Smith said: "The rookie the Thunder selected this year is amazing. He is full of impact on the court. He is currently averaging 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and his shooting rate is 40%."

"He has a body, a lot of energy, and a very explosive style of play."

Barkley nodded in agreement and said: "Westbrook's style of play reminds me of Zhang Jun, who only entered the league last year, and also caused a bloody storm."

"Westbrook is like a smaller version of Zhang Jun. Of course, his shooting efficiency is much more normal and not as crazy as Zhang Jun when he first entered the league."

Of course, the only person this Thunder team can really compare with Zhang Jun is Kevin Durant, the No. 2 rookie in the same class.

So far, Kevin Durant has averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, ranking third on the league's scoring list. This is also a sophomore.

In Barkley's view, the Thunder are on the right path to reconstruction. As long as Durant and Westbrook continue to grow, this team will definitely become a very strong team in the Western Conference.

On the court.

Westbrook walked towards Zhang Jun and hugged him hard. Zhang Jun was so embarrassed to be hugged by Westbrook, a straight man.

"Hey, are you trying to take advantage of me by hugging me?"

Westbrook chuckled and said, "I was discovered by you, that's what I really thought."

"Brother Jun, I came to the NBA, and now we are rivals."

Zhang Jun looked at this guy who had been his little fan since high school and sighed for a moment: "Being my opponent is not a good thing."

Westbrook agreed, saying, "When the whistle blows, you're no longer my big brother."

Durant on the side felt aggrieved when he saw this. As soon as Westbrook entered the Thunder team, he boasted in the locker room about how great his elder brother Zhang Jun was. What did this do to Durant, who was in the same class?

Thinking that Durant has been dominated by Zhang Jun since the beginning of the high school league, and was even called a thousand-year-old Tu by fans, Durant felt even more uncomfortable.

More importantly, Zhang Jun led the Trail Blazers, who had not made the playoffs for many years, to the Western Conference finals last season. This made Durant extremely jealous, so he wanted to show off in front of Zhang Jun. my ability.

"Zhang Jun, I am no longer the Durant I was before, I am stronger now."

All! All!

The referee's whistle blows and the game begins.

Trail Blazers regular starting lineup.

The Thunder's starting lineup: point guard Russell Westbrook, shooting guard Kevin Durant, small forward Jeff Green, power forward Nick Collison and center Yin Baka.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised that Yin Baka came to the NBA so early in this life. After all, in his previous life, Yin Baka could not join until next season. I heard that this time, the Thunder took the initiative to pay Yin Baka’s liquidated damages in the Spanish League. Only then can you join.

The Thunder are generous, and their management is indeed very smart.

Game start.

Luo Yin holds the ball against Durant. Compared with last season, Durant's performance on the defensive end this season is even better. He uses his excellent wingspan to directly cover Luo Yin's head, interfering with the opponent's shooting efficiency. .

Luo Yin, who failed to score in the first round, then turned his shooting into a breakthrough and reached the basket many times, which helped the Trail Blazers get their first point.

"The Thunder are not a team that defends well, and they rarely use zone defense and help defense when defending. Because the players in their team are still young, it is difficult for them to return to their defensive positions after assist defense and zone defense."

"This is also the decision that Thunder head coach Scott Brooks had to make. Since the players on the team are very young and not good at this kind of defensive tactics that require very high coordination, then it is just a simple pair. One defense.”

"Fortunately, the defensive players on their team are not bad. Durant and Jeff Green are both players who can defend. Therefore, the Thunder's overall defensive efficiency can be ranked near the average level in the league."

"But this kind of defensive strategy may not work well against the Trail Blazers."

In Barkley's view, the Trail Blazers are probably the team that performs the most singles rounds in the league, and they also have many players in the team who can execute singles tactics.

Of course, like Thunder head coach Scott Brooks, Nate McMillan also faces the problem that the team does not have a qualified passer, so he has to let the players execute such a single attack on the court.

Fortunately, Zhang Jun was the league's scoring leader last season, and he has continued to evolve on the offensive end this season. Therefore, even if the Blazers rarely play and cooperate mostly with individual offenses, the Blazers' overall offensive efficiency can still rank among the top in the league. Three.

Switch offense.

Durant holds the ball.

Facing Zhang Jun's defense, he first chose to accelerate a breakthrough from the outside. After failing to pass Zhang Jun, he turned to the waist position for a post-up single.

Durant's post-ups are very different from those of most players in the league. He is not a very powerful player when posting up, so when performing post-ups, he is not more focused on going to the basket. Don't kill, but look for shooting opportunities.

call!

The front of the body changed to the back, and Durant turned his back and took a step backwards to shoot.

Uh-huh!

The basketball passed Zhang Jun's fingers and hit the basket steadily.

"Durant's post-up moves are very similar to those of the young Tracy McGrady, but there are fewer rhythms and changes. After all, Durant has greater advantages in height and wingspan on the court."

Zhang Jun had interfered with this ball, but Durant was still able to hit the basket steadily. Kenny Smith was a little surprised by this.

He said: "Durant's offense is more stable than last season. No wonder he can get higher points per game and efficiency this season."

"Among the rookies in 2007, Durant is considered to be outstanding. I think he is fully capable of competing for the All-Star lineup this season."

"Of course, the premise is that the Thunder's record must be good enough."

On the court.

Durant didn't trash talk after scoring this goal. He doesn't like most players who like to curse and yell after scoring a goal, as if no one in the world can guard him.

Zhang Jun knows Durant's character. Even though he is very timid all the time, he is actually very shy. He dare not say anything about taking bath with Scarlett until now.

Zhang Jun couldn't help but tease Durant and said: "Hey, handsome, haven't you drank Scarlett's bath water yet?"

Durant glanced at Zhang Jun unhappily, "What on earth did you say you wanted to introduce me to? You went to shoot a commercial with her, and you even went to enjoy the flowers. You're despicable!"

Zhang Jun gave a friendly reminder: "Xiao Shuai, I don't think Scarlett is your cup of tea. She won't like you."

Durant snorted in displeasure. He had seen the off-season news. Scarlett said it herself when promoting the movie. She and Zhang Jun had been dating for a long time.

Although Zhang Jun strongly denied it afterwards and announced that his girlfriend was a new female star in Los Angeles, Durant obviously did not believe it.

He had a hunch that Zhang Jun, the bastard, had probably slept with Scarlett. The key was that his girlfriend, Blake Lively, was also very attractive, and I heard she was the former school beauty of UCLA.

"Made!"

Durant gets angry when he thinks of this. He is overwhelmed by Zhang Jun on the court and emotionally. What the hell is this?

"Why do I always have to be beaten by this bastard?"

Zhang Jun did not play the main offense in the first quarter, but Durant played vigorously on the court, hitting various jump shots against Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun didn't bother to respond to Durant, and he didn't take it seriously. After all, Durant had been suppressed for so long and it was time to release it. Holding it in for a long time can easily hurt the body. Look at him now, who is tall and thin. At first glance, he looked malnourished.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led 30:26.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhang Jun led the team on the field.

The Thunder's starting lineup is pretty good, but this bench lineup is really mediocre.

Of course, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks also knows the weaknesses of the team's lineup. In order to defend Zhang Jun, he specially brought Jeff Green up at this time.

After knowing that he was going to be sent to defend Zhang Jun, Jeff Green couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"I am probably the best backdrop for today's NBA game."
