Chapter 44
Chapter 43 – They Are In The Limelight
Alford’s mouth turned up in a smile.
“It’s solidarity, mutual assistance, and trust.”
“The Bruins are a big family, and we can allow one part of the family to make mistakes.”
“If the family can’t tolerate children, where can they trust?”
Alford’s words completely baffled the reporter.
I’m asking how you made the adjustment so quickly, you’re talking to me about extended family?
“Zhang Jun, this is you scoring high points in two consecutive games. The team relies heavily on you, and you have accomplished the tasks entrusted to you by the team brilliantly.”
“Honestly speaking, we have begun to look forward to the latest NCAA player rankings released by ESPN after the end of the regular season. We all think that the 16th five-star college ranking in the United States is a bit low for you.”
Zhang Jun shook his head and said: “I don’t particularly care about this ranking, because I know that even if he is ranked first, it doesn’t mean that he must be the best player in the NCAA, nor does it mean that he will be selected by the NBA team as the No. 1 pick in the future. .”
“I just complete the coach’s arrangement, help the team win the game, and be the best of myself.”
Hearing Zhang Jun’s almost flawless speech, the reporters present couldn’t help but want to applaud him.
This speech was almost as if someone deliberately went through public relations. It was reasonable and compliant. Most importantly, it praised teammates, coaches and the team, and even sublimated his own style.
No. 16 in the United States? Sorry guys, I really didn’t care about it.
On the bus after the game.
Coach Alford said to everyone with a serious face: “Guys, starting today we will fight for the ranking! Prepare for the upcoming league championship game.”
“We will work hard to become the No. 1 seed in the Parker 12 League, and fight home or stay with the strongest status!”
Everyone roared!
“For the championship!”
“for!”
“For our youth!”
“For the girl!”
Everyone: “Huh?”
Ba Moute quickly said with a flattering smile: “Sorry to do it all over again, for the sake of our girls!”
“Go! Go! Go!”
…
The journey begins in February.
Continuing to advance triumphantly, after suffering the first defeat of the season, they directly proved their strength and determination this season with a record of 5 consecutive victories.
In 7 games, Zhang Jun scored 30+ in 5 games and 40+ in 1 game. He successfully surpassed Kevin Durant of the University of Texas and became the current NCAA scoring leader.
The name of the Son of California spread more and more throughout the United States.
Countless players even traveled thousands of miles to see the fastest first step in California.
“Coach, we have already achieved a record of 24 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the Parker 12 League. This result is also the first in the entire NCAA!”
“This is a very remarkable achievement!”
“The University of Southern California, which is currently ranked behind us, has a record of 20 wins and 5 losses!”
Said Sid very excitedly.
USC is 4 wins away from the draw. If nothing else happens, Parker is almost certain to be No. 1 in the 12th league record and will compete in the upcoming league championship game as the No. 1 seed.
This achievement is outstanding even in the entire history.
Alford also nodded very satisfied, but soon the emotion on his face became serious again.
USC has also achieved an 8-game winning streak recently, and the player named Nick Young also scored 38 points in one game.
They are in full swing.
After a USC game, a reporter curiously asked the head coach of USC, Bob, Nick Young or Zhang Jun, who is the better player.
Bob said: “Of course it is Nick Young. He can shoot three-pointers, mid-range shots, breakthroughs, layups, dunks and extremely gorgeous individual singles.”
“Honestly, I don’t understand why you are bragging about the first step in California. What is so strong about him?”
“Aside from breaking through with one trick, what other skills does he have?”
“Everyone knows that the more offensive a player is, the easier it is to be defended.”
Alford took a long breath, his face full of melancholy.
Seeing his melancholy, Sid said, “Are you still thinking about the post-game interview at USC yesterday?”
Alford nodded and said: “That’s right, Zhang Jun’s breakthrough is indeed very powerful, but what Bob said is very reasonable, the more offensive a player is, the easier it is to be successfully defended in a more critical game.”
“So I’m a little worried about the next one-legged league championship game.”
Sid couldn’t help but smiled and said, “It’s always been you who persuaded me to trust my players, why are you unwilling to trust them this time?”
Alford was stunned and said: “To be honest, recently I have been doubting whether it was right or wrong for me to invite Zhang Jun and form such a lineup.”
“In order to beat Florida, I almost formed a lineup completely different from other college teams, with Zhang Jun as the core.”
“You know, once he’s out of shape at a certain point or the offensive touch is not good, or even blocked by the opponent, all the offense will be misfired, and we are a team that is completely built on offense. “
Sid knew that Alford’s concerns were not without reason.
Whether it is the next league championship game or the upcoming March Madness Championship, it will be a life-and-death battle to determine the outcome. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
No NCAA team can afford to lose.
Losing a game means going home, and it means all the hard work of the season will be in vain.
With Zhang Jun alone as the core, it means that the fault tolerance rate is very low. Once he encounters an accident, the entire team’s offense will be over.
Take a closer look at all the NCAA teams, whether it is Florida or Southern California, or the Duke University led by the famous coach K, they are not completely built with one person as the core.
They all know that the NCAA is not like the NBA, which can turn the league upside down with one player at its core. This requires the core player to have outstanding personal ability and ability to withstand pressure, and must be able to fight key battles.
But even in the NBA, there are very few teams that can win the championship with one person as the core, such as the Gemini, the Big Three, or even the Five Tigers.
This is the standard equipment that a mature team should have.
“At least, Zhang Jun has done very well so far.”
“Also, have you ever seen him play out of order?”
Sid said suddenly.
Alford was at a loss for words, but he had never seen Zhang Jun perform poorly once. This is really an incredible thing.
Even those NBA players who have been famous for a long time may play extremely hips in a certain game, but Zhang Jun just didn’t have a game.
He’s a little too mature.
Sid said: “That’s right, he is already so good, you still don’t believe him, but worry about that.”
“The point is, what time is it now, we have no other choice but to believe in Zhang Jun.”
“He will definitely play well in every game!”
