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

UCLA.

Zhang Jun returned to the campus where he had been away for a long time.

"What! Are you all participating in this year's draft?"

Zhang Jun looked at the former teammates in front of him in shock.

Several UCLA members such as Kevin Love and Luke Richard Mbah a Moute have already signed up for this year's draft. If nothing goes wrong, Zhang Jun will meet them on the court in three months. See.

Of course, what surprises Zhang Jun the most is that Russell Westbrook will also participate in this year's draft. He is still a freshman.

Westbrook sniffed proudly, looked at Zhang Jun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and said something.

"Your body is stronger than a year ago. You weigh 100kg."

Ha, what kind of hello is this? If I hadn’t known each other, I would have thought you were deliberately provoking me. What’s wrong with 100kg? Do you want to try it?

Zhang Jun rolled his eyes at Russell Westbrook, who nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's what you think. I want to give it a try."

Le Fu laughed out loud on the side.

"Russell, you have to think about it, he is the NBA's leading scorer."

Mbah a Moute was leaning back and forth with joy and jokingly said: "Don't cry here if you lose later."

The left corner of Westbrook's mouth raised, showing a very angry look and said: "Cry, sister, just watch how I beat him. My breakthrough is definitely better than his now."

Seeing such arrogant Westbrook, Zhang Jun couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He could only temporarily stop greeting his friends, looked at Westbrook and said.

"Just try it."

Westbrook still remembers the last time he and Zhang Jun were beaten terribly in a one-on-one duel. He is very competitive and wants to wash away the shame today and take care of Zhang Jun.

He did not forget to remind him: "Brother Jun, I am no longer the Russell I was a year ago."

Zhang Jun nodded. It could be seen that Westbrook's body was thicker and his muscles were tight. It looked like he had gone through a very devilish training this year.

"I'm younger than you, I'm still in college, and you are my eldest brother, so you should let me hit the first ball first."

Westbrook held the ball and said first.

Zhang Jun raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you fight first."

When the heads-up began, a circle of UCLA players surrounded the entire court, and head coach Steve Alford suddenly came to the training facility.

The surrounding players saw that it was the coach and were about to speak out, but were stopped by Steve Alford who raised his hand.

"Look carefully, this is a very valuable observation opportunity for you."

Westbrook holds the ball, and Zhang Jun's defensive strategy is to take a step back.

Because Westbrook does not have stable mid-to-long-range shooting ability, letting him go is the best defensive option.

This is very similar to his former self. Zhang Jun couldn't help but sigh. Westbrook really regarded himself as his idol and big brother, and imitated himself in everything.

His breakthrough is the first in California, and Westbrook works hard to hone his breakthrough ability.

Zhang Jun also wants to see how far Westbrook's breakthrough ability has grown.

call!

Westbrook moved, his first step was very fast, very explosive, and his body was extremely explosive. He rushed towards the basket with a bag of explosives on his back, like a bull.

If ordinary players faced this kind of impact, they might not be able to react immediately and be successfully broken by Westbrook. However, Zhang Jun already has very solid defensive experience and uses the side of his body to hit Westbrook. Turbrook.

The first is to slow it down, and the second is to restrict the opponent from comfortably entering the familiar offensive area of ​​​​the penalty area.

boom! !

In the extremely strong physical confrontation, Westbrook felt great defensive pressure, and his body speed dropped by more than half. More importantly, Zhang Jun was still using his strength to drive him to the left waist to prevent him from entering the paint area. .

And that position is a 0-angle shooting area, which has extremely high requirements for shooting and layups. However, Westbrook dislikes completing attacks in that area the most.

"Damn it!"

Westbrook gritted his teeth and was so angry that he was forced by the one-on-one rule that he could not dribble more than three times. Of course, another explanation is that the attack must be completed within 10 seconds from the time the offensive player takes the ball.

But no matter which rule it is, Westbrook has now reached the time when he must take a shot.

Snapped! ! !

Westbrook chose a jump shot that he was not used to, but encountered a big block from Zhang Jun that blocked his head and face.

When people around him saw this scene, they couldn't help but open their mouths slightly and looked extremely shocked.

Love said: "Brother Jun's defense has improved and made great progress. His defense should be better than yours now."

Mbah a Moute nodded and admitted: "If I were to defend the ball just now, I might try to steal it during Russell's breakthrough. I also have such defensive skills and abilities."

"But Brother Jun didn't do that. It can be seen that his defensive skills are still average, but his defensive awareness and defensive IQ really impressed me. Coupled with his abnormal wingspan, Russell is not unjust. ”

After blocking the shot, Zhang Jun bent down and put his hand on his ankle, indicating: "You only have this height."

Not to mention the unconvinced look on Westbrook's face, he cursed and said, "You're not that damn tall, so try to hit me if you can."

Zhang Jun laughed and passed the ball to Westbrook, who was so angry that he smashed the ball into Zhang Jun's face.

The smell of gunpowder is quite strong.

Zhang Jun held the ball from outside, and he suddenly stopped all the smiles on his face.

Westbrook's feet trembled with fear when he saw this. He swallowed and quickly took two steps back.

In the end, Westbrook had seen Zhang Jun's breakthrough. He knew very well that Zhang Jun's first step was faster than his, and much faster. Zhang Jun was a five-star player who was famous in the United States. The top pick among college students who beat Greg Oden has a terrifying reputation that everyone has to consider.

Snapped.

Zhang Jun suddenly started dribbling from the outside. It happened that Westbrook took two steps back and was near the free throw line. Zhang Jun simply dribbled the ball directly to the free throw line and then hit Westbrook with his back.

"Hey! Brother, what do you mean!"

"Your breakthrough! You are the first in California! What are you doing now?"

"Are you looking down on me?"

"Hurry up and use your strongest breakthrough to fight me."

Seeing that Zhang Jun did not use the breakthrough that made him famous, Westbrook was very unhappy and thought that he was being underestimated, so he made a lot of noise on the court and was very dissatisfied.

Zhang Jun has his own ideas. In his previous life, Westbrook relied too much on his body, which resulted in him missing many skills that he should have as a defender.

Guards are synonymous with skills on the basketball court, and Westbrook can't throw at all. The mid-range is better than that for a while but not continuous. As for the three-pointer, it is lower than the league average, not to mention the rhythm control and offense on the court. After sorting it out, watching Westbrook play in his previous life was like two villains fighting, gradually getting lost in passing and shooting.

Zhang Jun hopes that Westbrook can practice all the skills that a defender should master, instead of just making breakthroughs. It happens that Westbrook regards him as his big brother and idol, and likes to learn everything from him, so now Zhang Jun has a breakthrough Don't want to use it.

"Take a good look, this is my latest special skill that I have learned in the NBA, and it is also my special skill that allows me to compete against Kobe Bryant in the playoffs without falling behind!"

After hearing these words, Westbrook quickly perked up and stared at Zhang Jun with all his attention, and mobilized his body's defensive attention to the highest level.

boom!

With his back up, Zhang Jun did not use all his strength, and Westbrook was not pushed away.

Just when Westbrook questioned why Zhang Jun's resistance was so small, Zhang Jun used his strength to back up and immediately turned around and took a step forward.

Westbrook rushed over, but Zhang Jun crossed over and made a step change to open up a step of space again, and then took off.

Fallback shot!

Westbrook saw that Zhang Jun, who had already opened up a step of shooting space, was leaning back at this time. He didn't even have the intention to defend. Coupled with Zhang Jun's excellent height and wingspan, how could this happen? Defend?

brush!

The basketball hit the net. Westbrook turned his head and saw something incredible.

Zhang Jun said: "Only by making your opponent feel helpless on defense can you be considered a qualified offensive player and a qualified combo guard."

Westbrook said a little unconvinced: "I was not prepared for the ball just now. I didn't know you would hit it like this. I will definitely be able to guard you if you try it again."

Zhang Jun said cheerfully: "Then continue."

Next round.

Zhang Jun used his breakthrough and quickly passed Westbrook in one step without killing the basket. He took a step back to the right waist, which was similar to McGrady's mid-range skills.

Uh-huh!

Another fadeaway mid-range shot.

The basketball hits again.

Westbrook was really worried now. He suddenly realized that his defense seemed to be a decoration for Zhang Jun. Whether the opponent's shot scored or not depended entirely on the opponent's touch. He finally realized the terrifying offensive strength of the NBA scoring champion.

On the sidelines, everyone at UCLA watched Zhang Jun handle Westbrook with ease on the court, as if they had seen something shocking.

It was the first time they saw a player score so easily on the court.

"Is this really still Brother Jun?"

Love took a deep breath and said.

Mbah a Moute couldn't help but swallowed hard. He was once able to guard against Zhang Jun. After seeing the scene in front of him, he was very sure.

Even the defensive players in the NBA may not be able to prevent Zhang Jun's offensive methods on their own.

"Russell was blown away."

Steve Alford on the side smiled sincerely when he saw this. This is what he told Zhang Jun back then, that going to the NBA was his best path instead of staying in the NCAA and continuing to lead UCLA.

Only the NBA can help him grow as quickly as possible, and now Zhang Jun has already become the most popular offensive genius in the NBA.

A few minutes later, Westbrook, who is very famous in this year's NCAA, was beaten 21:0.

"Hey Russell, your big brother is still your big brother."

After hearing this, Westbrook bowed his head in frustration and left the game, with a huge shadow in his heart.

Zhang Jun also saw coach Steve Alford, who had been watching the game from the sidelines. He smiled and waved.

Steve Alford nodded and let the UCLA players begin their daily training.

"Westbrook has made great progress this year. His breakthrough has already made him famous in the United States. In my opinion, he should be ranked among the top three in the NCAA. In March Madness, we also reached the finals again and won the championship."

Zhang Jun nodded. After all, with Love, the top offensive power forward in the NCAA, and Mbah a Moute, a top perimeter defender with both offense and defense, plus Westbrook's overwhelming ability, it's not nice to say. If so, UCLA already has three NBA-level players.

When other teams in the NCAA meet, their chances of winning are really slim.

"Westbrook's breakthrough was only ranked third?"

"Who's number one?"

Seeing Zhang Jun's curious eyes, Steve Alford couldn't help but fell into deep thought, because in the Final Four, UCLA happened to meet the University of Memphis, which had the number one breakthrough student in the United States.

"Since you left, many media reporters have been discussing who is the player with the strongest breakthrough ability in the NCAA."

"At the beginning, everyone was arguing about this. Some thought it was O.J. Mayo, some thought it was Eric Gordon, and some thought it was D.J. Augustin."

"But as the games outside the conference were played, everyone almost unanimously agreed, and that is Derrick Rose, the freshman super point guard from the University of Memphis."

Zhang Jun lost any unexpected emotions the first time he heard the name.

"It turned out to be him."

Seeing that Zhang Jun seemed to know something about Derrick Rose, Steve Alford continued.

"Derrick Rose's breakthrough is very similar to yours. He doesn't slow down at all when changing direction. Coupled with his explosive power when attacking the frame, many teams have no way to deal with him."

"Media reporters are also commenting that he is the second Zhang Jun."

"But Derrick Rose doesn't seem to like this title. He said in an interview that he is the next Jordan."

Hey, this little rose has quite a bad temper, and she seems to look down on him.

But Zhang Jun also understands it very well. After all, he has only played in the NBA for one year. To say that Rose now regards himself as his goal and idol is completely out of his mind.

"Derrick Rose has also announced his participation in this year's draft. He has a high probability of getting the No. 1 pick. Of course, Love and Westbrook are also among the top ten picks. Love even has a chance to compete for the top three positions."

Zhang Jun couldn't help but stop and glance at coach Steve Alford at this time.

"After driving away so many players this time, what is UCLA going to do next year?"

After hearing this, Steve Alford couldn't help but smile and said: "What we can do, of course, is to continue looking for outstanding high school students."

"Actually, I can see you shine in the NBA, and I'm happier than me leading the team to win the NCAA championship."

"Zhang Jun, you are the child I value most. I will always wait for the day when you become famous in the NBA."

Zhang Jun turned around and looked at Steve Alford, who was very serious when he said this, and the two hugged.

"Coach, I will."
