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

Accelerate and break through the frame for dunks, mid-range fadeaway jumpers, sudden cold arrows from beyond the three-point line...

After the second quarter started, Zhang Jun beat Jeff Green to the point of shutting down in just 3 minutes, completely exploding offensively.

Thunder head coach Scott Brooks was furious when he saw Zhang Jun's incomprehensible performance on the court. At this time, he couldn't help but look at Kevin Durant next to him.

Scott Brooks knew some insider information about the Thunder's draft that year. Originally, the team's general manager Sam Presti really hoped that the team could select Zhang Jun, but unfortunately it backfired and a Trail Blazers came out halfway. He didn't even want Greg Oden, and snatched Zhang Jun over to become the number one pick.

"I heard that Greg Oden, who was returning from injury in the preseason, was injured again and is likely to be retired for the entire regular season. The Hawks' management is feeling aggrieved right now."

"For the first time that year, they selected Greg Oden, the most popular No. 1 pick, with the third overall pick. Originally, the Hawks thought they were getting a big bargain, but they didn't expect that they suffered a complete loss."

"Oden has yet to play a game for the Hawks. The key is that the Hawks dare not let Greg Oden go. What if he comes back from injury and really kills everyone on the court?"

"So even if Oden is injured again, the Hawks will still be patient with him and still hope that he can kill as much as Zhang Jun and Durant do now."

But in Scott Brooks' view, of the two players on the court, Zhang Jun is probably a little more powerful than Durant. Putting aside the honors of last season, let's take this game as an example. , if Zhang Jun was not double-teamed, Sam Presti could swear that the Thunder would be killed directly by the opponent alone.

"Double-team!"

Scott Brooks had no choice but to make this decision, and the scene that followed was that Channing Fletcher made 2 of 5 from the outside, James Jones made 2 of 6 from the outside, and Reeve LaFrentz made 3 of 3 inside.

Scott Brooks could only replace Durant and Westbrook in advance, and then he could keep up with the Blazers' firepower on the offensive end.

The third quarter of the game.

Luo Yin and Zhang Jun played an amazing cooperative performance. The two separated the Thunder team's defense line on the left and right. When Luo Yin led the offense, Zhang Jun would contain the three-point line from the outside, and Zhang Jun attacked. When playing, Luo Yin will intersperse a lot of off-ball movement and pick-and-roll cooperation.

boom! ! !

After Zhang Jun broke through the basket, he suddenly threw the ball behind him. Luo Yin caught the ball and glided for a dunk.

This dunk ignited the passion of the Portland fans at the scene and helped the Trail Blazers directly expand their lead to double digits.

Kenny Smith shouted excitedly: "The Zhang-Luo connection is on stage again. The Trail Blazers this season are amazing!"

Barkley nodded in agreement. He had a vague hunch that he might have to witness the formation and rise of a terrifying team.

"Zhang Jun and Luo Yin will definitely become the best outside duo in recent years."

"Aldridge has become another firepower addition behind the two, and this team is almost perfect in the starting lineup."

"It even felt like another Big Three Celtics team to me."

It was a bit surprising to hear such praise for Kenny Smith.

After all, the Celtics' Big Three won the championship last season. Before that, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Wolf King Garnett were each the absolute core of their teams.

The three of them have also led the team to achieve some outstanding results, and they are definitely not weak in team leadership ability. The weakest in this regard is Pierce.

Strictly speaking, the three of the Trail Blazers have been playing together since their rookie season. They have never proven themselves individually, but the effect of playing together is indeed very good. After all, the Trail Blazers also reached the Western Conference Finals last season. .

So in Kenny Smith's view, the three may all be very good players, but compared with the Celtics' Big Three, there may still be a big gap.

"Of course, Zhang Jun is indeed one of the league's giants."

At the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Thunder 82:70.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Westbrook began to attack the basket. Steve Blake, who was defending him on the outside, was no match at all. Westbrook rushed away and he couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed.

After rushing to the basket, Westbrook immediately made a turtle tomahawk dunk with his bow fully drawn.

Kenny Smith couldn't help but joked: "As expected of an alumnus of the same class, Russell Westbrook's dunk is very similar to Zhang Jun."

Zhang Jun held the ball from the outside, and Westbrook suddenly pushed Durant away and took the initiative to defend Zhang Jun.

Durant was confused, how could a rookie dare to push him away, but when he saw it was Westbrook, he was not surprised at all.

After all, this guy was born with a missing bone in his head, and he played like he was ruthless on the court. Not to mention Durant, even if Kobe came over, Westbrook would catch up and give him a push.

Durant could only say the most at this moment: "What does this mean?"

The good-tempered Durant immediately switched defenses without hesitation, leaving Westbrook to compete with Zhang Jun.

He knew what the outcome would be without even looking.

Durant knows very well that Zhang Jun's personal scoring ability is better than him, and even Kobe may not be able to match him.

Or does rookie Westbrook dare to touch him?

I don't know how badly I was beaten.

"You fucking try to get past me."

Westbrook said very irritably when facing Zhang Jun, and at the same time he took the initiative to physically confront Zhang Jun, which was quite aggressive.

Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile. Westbrook was the first to dare to defend him this season.

Whoosh!

This kind of personal defense Zhang Jun passed by in one step, and Westbrook was directly left behind to eat the air.

Yin Baka on the inside was very smart to raise his defense. Zhang Jun took off one step ahead, and Yin Baka also jumped up.

"You jump really high!"

Kenny Smith not only praised Zhang Jun, but also praised Yin Baka.

Kenny Smith, who can help defend Zhang Jun in the interior, has not seen other insiders in the league accomplish this step except for the Magic's Howard.

"No wonder the Thunder are willing to pay millions in liquidated damages to help Yin Baka join the Thunder early. It would be a pity if he doesn't play in the NBA with this talent and defensive potential."

Barkley nodded in agreement and said: "Furthermore, Yin Baka played in the professional arena before. Compared with other rookies, his immediate combat ability is very good. It is basically plug and play seamlessly."

"With Yin Baka, Durant, and Westbrook, the Thunder can be considered somewhat competitive in the Western Conference."

boom! ! !

On the court, the sound of explosive dunks rang out.

Zhang Jun clicked the tomahawk with one hand and forcefully pushed the ball in from Yin Baka's fingers.

Yin Baka touched the ball, but unfortunately he didn't touch it enough. He just reached it. Zhang Jun pressed the ball directly through Yin Baka's finger. The fans at the scene exploded instantly, and the big screen above their heads also played in a loop. again and again.

"The league has another big man who can be dunked by Zhang Jun. With his height, his wingspan, and his jumping ability, it is estimated that only Howard can hold down Zhang Jun from the sky."

Westbrook looked very ugly behind him. He was very dissatisfied with his defensive choice of pushing up and exerting physical confrontation. At least using this defensive method to defend Zhang Jun was simply a way to die.

This ball also made Westbrook understand why the players who were defending Zhang Jun always dared not step forward. He also thought of the previous one-on-ones between himself and Zhang Jun.

"It turns out you really didn't lie to me. You didn't hit me with all your strength at that time."

Zhang Jun looked at Westbrook who had not yet recovered and walked over and secretly patted his butt and said.

"You have to step back a little when defending, at least keep up with my speed, otherwise it will only cause trouble for teammates inside."

Westbrook listened carefully and nodded.

In the next round, he adopted the defensive strategy taught to him by Zhang Jun and just stepped back a little. When Zhang Jun accelerated his breakthrough, he immediately followed him.

Although he was still passed by Zhang Jun by half a body, Westbrook could at least help defend at this distance. In addition, Yin Baka was on the inside to cover up, so the defensive limit on Zhang Jun's breakthrough would be very high. Much bigger.

Kenny Smith on the commentary desk shouted: "Beautiful! Russell Westbrook learned his lesson this time, and his defense against Zhang Jun was obviously better than the last round."

Kenny Smith hadn't finished speaking. During the breakthrough process, Zhang Jun saw Yin Baka coming up from the front and Westbrook catching up from behind. Under this kind of defense, he decisively chose to stop suddenly. Distance jump shot.

Westbrook quickly stopped himself and almost hit a car from behind, which would have resulted in a shooting foul.

It's just that at this time, he couldn't control Zhang Jun's jump shot at all. He couldn't reach his take-off height at all. In addition, he didn't dare to take off at all, so it took a lot of effort to keep his body slowing down.

Uh-huh!

Zhang Jun made a steady hit from mid-range.

Yin Baka shook his head helplessly. He had already brought it up, and it was very effective in restricting Zhang Jun from hitting the basket, but who would have thought that this guy could still shoot mid-range shots, and he could do so accurately.

After scoring the goal, Zhang Jun pointed to his position on the court and said, "When I was in that place, you should give me some physical confrontation to slow me down, and then call on your teammates to come up in advance for pick-and-rolls, so that you can control me." The mid-range shooting space can at least cause interference when I shoot.”

Westbrook nodded repeatedly and absorbed the experience Zhang Jun imparted on the court without hesitation. The confused Durant looked on in confusion.

"I should be the one guarding Zhang Jun!"

"it's me!"

"Do you two know?"

Durant was so angry that he immediately responded with a mid-range pull-up jumper. He wanted to use this method to express his dissatisfaction and ruthless accusation against Zhang Jun and Westbrook. The most important thing is this Once Zhang Jun defended him, he could face him again.

But Durant almost cried when he saw Luo Yin in front of him.

Especially because of the lead held by the Trail Blazers, Zhang Jun was not worried about Durant's goal on the court at all, so he did not guard him at all. Instead, he continued to face Westbrook and saw in the next round While Durant was still holding the ball, Zhang Jun couldn't help but say.

"Hey, handsome, can you give the ball to my brother? I want to teach him how to get past defenders more easily."

Westbrook looked at Durant at the same time and said: "Give me the ball, man."

Dude..........

Durant was so angry that his face turned red, and he looked at the two of them and choked out a sentence.

"I, no, give it!"

What followed Durant's words was Zhang Jun's pass after reaching the inside, allowing Luo Yin from the outside to easily complete an open three-pointer.

Then there was another pick-and-roll between Zhang Jun and Aldridge, which completely tore apart the Thunder's defense. Yin Baka had to step up to defend Zhang Jun. Facing Zhang Jun, who was not much shorter than himself, the height of the two men It didn't look much different on the court, but as soon as Zhang Jun accelerated, Yin Baka couldn't help shouting "Fuck".

This speed is simply too scary.

"This is the template for the best basketball player!"

The Trail Blazers played a 9:0 offensive surge, which almost killed the game directly.

Thunder head coach Scott Brooks obviously wanted to train and couldn't bear to miss the opportunity to play against last season's Western Conference Finals team, so he still kept Durant, Westbrook and others on the court until the end. one second.

But Nate McMillan wasn't used to it. With 4 minutes left in the game, the Trail Blazers still led by 20 points, so Nate McMillan called it quits early.

As a result, the Thunder responded with a terrifying shock wave of 14:4. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers had a huge lead, otherwise the game would have been almost overturned by this Oklahoma youth army.

After the game, Barkley couldn't help but said: "The Thunder are indeed a team full of future. The counterattack launched by Durant and Westbrook at the end of the game was too powerful. The offensive bombing power of these two people was also great." It’s really scary.”

"I'm afraid it won't be long before a new team is about to emerge in the West."

Barkley had a vague sense of what was coming.

After all, it is a bit unreasonable to have such a strong team in the Western Conference. Last season, the Nuggets' record was good enough to rank among the top four in the Eastern Conference, but they could not make the playoffs in the Western Conference. This is simply unbelievable.

With the rise of young military teams such as the Trail Blazers and Thunder, it is bound to change the new pattern of the Western Conference. If nothing unexpected happens, there will no longer be such an exaggerated scene in the Western Conference next season. In other words, things The overall situation will soon return to a relatively stable stage.

Kenny Smith naturally saw the thoughts of his old partner. He said: "There will indeed be many players who will become free agents next season, and the league will inevitably cause a frenzy of transactions and franchises."

"If nothing else happens, many players from the West will join the Eastern teams, and the league will soon return to a controllable balance."

Barkley nodded, that's what he meant. To be precise, several teams in the Western Conference should announce their disbandment next season. Many players on the team will be put on the trade shelf, and the league will usher in a new pattern.

Under this situation, new strong teams will emerge, and these young players will continue to have another round of impact on these new strong teams.
