Chapter 51 – Great Defensive Strength
“But I’m not optimistic that Greg Oden can do this. It’s not that his talent is lower than that of Yao Ming. To be precise, I’m worried about his attributes as a glass man.”
“I have already sent someone to secretly investigate Greg Oden. His legs are long and short. The left leg is 3cm longer than the right leg. Because the hip underwent surgery when he was a child, the muscles atrophied.”
“Honestly speaking, an athlete of this level in the NBA has such a physical condition. It is only a matter of time before he will suffer serious injuries in the future!”
The assistant coach was stunned when he heard it, but he didn’t expect such a thing to happen. If other teams in the league don’t know about it, they will suffer a lot!
The more he thought about it, the less he dared to think about it.
Sam Presti affirmed: “So, even if I had to pick 10,000 times, I would never pick Greg Oden!”
………
Office of the Lakers General Manager.
Kupchak kept tapping his head with the pen.
“He is ranked fifth among college students in the United States. How can the Lakers choose him?”
It won’t work if you choose him with your head.
Because Kobe’s temperament will not allow the Lakers to perform badly, the key is that the record of the Lakers at this stage cannot be badly done at all.
The West ranks seventh, not up or down.
Although the current college ranking does not mean the future draft ranking, Kupchak had prepared for Zhang Jun’s ranking to improve as early as the end of the last Los Angeles Derby against USC.
But the direct promotion to the fifth place in the United States still made Kupchak a little at a loss.
“I’m ranked fifth in the United States. With this year’s draft market, I’m afraid it will take a lot of money to get a trade.”
…
The Blazers held a management meeting.
There were extremely heated debates at the meeting, and the polarization was also very serious.
The management headed by the team’s 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.
And the coaching team headed by head coach Nate McMillan very much hopes that the team can get Zhang Jun and get a very important position attacker.
In the end, general manager Steve Patterson ended the meeting and said: “The players we discussed have not yet been confirmed for this year’s NBA draft, just like Al Horford and Joakim Noah last year.”
“Obviously, as long as the two are determined to participate in the draft, one of them 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 prospects and choose to stay in Florida to help the school achieve two consecutive championships.”
“So, it’s too early for us to argue about that here.”
“Maybe Zhang Jun will not participate in this year’s draft at all.”
After all, Zhang Jun mentioned in the previous post-match press conference that he has not considered 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 for early registration, and May 8 is the deadline for withdrawing from the draft.
May 19th is the lottery draw ceremony, and in the week after May 20th, all teams in the league can hold trial training or joint trial training.
The NBA Draft will be held on June 28 at the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
…
March 1.
The league championship game has officially begun.
The first game against the University of Utah!
Interview on the field.
“Coach Iber, you will face the Bruins with the best record in the United States tonight, are you ready?”
The head coach of the University of Utah, Iber Sherman, smiled bitterly. The two teams had already played against each other in the previous regular season.
As a result, they won the game 101:80. That game was also the first time the Bruins scored more than 100 points this season.
To be honest, at the NCAA level, there are not many teams that can score 100 points in a single game. The Bruins are really amazing.
Iber Sherman said: “It is indeed a very strong team, but the University of Utah will not easily admit defeat to them.”
“We have already made preparations and will strictly defend Zhang Jun. As long as we guard against him, the University of Utah has every chance of winning.”
player channel.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Aaron Afflalo clapped his hands vigorously and said: “The league championship game, single-round elimination system, this is a game that cannot be lost under any circumstances, but we will definitely win tonight’s game.”
“Be patient, stay focused, and play the basketball you belong to!”
Everyone shouted in unison: “The brown bear is invincible.”
The player enters the field.
Flashing lights flickered around the Pauley arena frequently, and when Zhang Jun appeared on the stage, the entire arena erupted into extremely enthusiastic cheers.
“Son of California!”
“Win this game!”
“We’re going to the tournament and going to March Madness!”
Zhang Jun felt the intense lights on the scene, and his body couldn’t help being excited.
Seeing this scene off the field, Sid couldn’t help sighing and said, “This kid is already a star player.”
Alford nodded. After all, Zhang Jun ranks fifth in the latest national college rankings, and he has almost become the hottest college player in the United States. Naturally, he will be treated like this.
Before that, the best player was Jordan Farmar, but the spotlight and pursuit he faced at that time was far from being comparable to that of Zhang Jun.
Going forward, there have been no first-round drafts in the NBA for 6 years. Only Jerome Moiso was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 11th pick in the first round in 2000. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
“He may become another high-ranking player after the bearded Baron Davis was selected by the NBA as a No. 3 pick in 1999.”
Game start!
Midfield jump ball.
Aboya jumped high to get the offensive ball off the first round.
Darren Collison advanced with the ball and immediately saw that Zhang Jun was being defended almost inhumanly in the frontcourt.
One person went around the front to get in position, and engaged in a lot of physical confrontation with Zhang Jun, and one person assisted in the defense behind, blocking Zhang Jun’s chance to run back into the inside line.
“Run!”
Darren Collison motions for his teammates to quickly clear one side to open up space.
Love and Aboya made a two-person mutual block in the interior, and Love quickly pulled away and ran outside the corner three-point line to get the ball open.
Aboya raised the pick and roll for Zhang Jun, so that the inside line was unguarded.
“This tactic ran very purposefully!”
Zhang Jun used the pick-and-roll to run back to the inside, and the University of Utah double-teamed on the strong side, directly losing Aboya, the defender, to defend Zhang Jun.
“This defensive strength is great!”
Darren Collison saw that Zhang Jun had no chance to catch the ball, so he passed the ball directly to Aboya who was open.
The latter went straight to the basket the moment he caught the ball.
“This tactic was played beautifully!”
Although Aboya has no 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 anyway.
Zhang Jun slid from the penalty area to the bottom corner of the weak side. At this time, the center Clinton Chavez, who was defending Aboya, did not dare to follow him out to double-team him.
Zhang Jun finally held the ball and faced the University of Utah’s defender, shooting guard Camillo Lloyd alone.
