Chapter 33
Chapter 32 – Son Of California
Zhang Jun took the rebound and immediately ran to the frontcourt.
Love picked up the rebound and didn’t participate in the fast break. Instead, he came to a football quarterback position, swung the ball behind him, and then threw it hard.
Quarterback long pass!
“Brother Jun, catch the ball.”
boom!
Zhang Jun catches the ball from the free throw line and takes off for a dunk.
“Played a defensive counterattack again, they have already led by 5 points!”
next round.
Zhang Jun broke through to the basket again, and Lopez destroyed his inevitable goal and slapped him out of the court.
“This is for you!”
“It’s not your turn to play wild in the restricted area of Stanford University.”
Zhang Jun couldn’t help but smile, this big Lopez’s defensive strength is quite strong.
But this round of offense has had little effect on the outcome of the game.
In the end, the whole game ended and a difficult victory was achieved with 74:69.
Extremely warm applause and cheers erupted in the Pauley Arena.
I don’t know who shouted, Son of California.
The entire arena erupted in unison.
“Son of California! Zhang Jun!”
After the game, Lopez did not leave in a hurry, but found Zhang Jun and hugged him.
“I knew before the game that your breakthrough is very good, but you are obviously better than what they said.”
“I remember that block.”
Zhang Jun replied: “I also remember your block, and I will give you a hard slap when I have a chance later.”
Big Lopez smiled and said: “I guess it will have to wait until next year, or… the NBA.”
Post-match interview.
Alford brought Zhang Jun and Aaron Afflalo to participate.
Facing the questions from the reporters, Zhang Jun, who had been familiar with him once and twice, obviously calmed down a lot.
“After the game, the fans in Los Angeles called you Son of California. Have you heard of this name before? How do you feel?”
Zhang Jun said with great enjoyment: “I like this title, but this is also the first time I have heard it.”
The reporter continued to ask: “In the interview before the game, you said that you would declare war on all the teams in the Parker 12 League.”
“You scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in this game tonight. You successfully fulfilled your promise and helped the team win. Is this just the beginning?”
Zhang Jun said without hesitation: “Coach Alford told me on the first day I joined that the Bruins always have only one goal, and that is the championship.”
“So, I’m not declaring war on the Parker XII, I’m declaring war on all NCAA teams.”
“If you want to win the championship, you can only step over the corpse of our Bruins team.”
The reporter was a little confused.
She originally thought that Zhang Jun’s challenge to the Parker Twelve Alliance was already arrogant enough, but in the end she completely underestimated him.
This is an enemy of the entire NCAA.
Alford on the side shook his head helplessly.
I don’t think it’s wrong for you to challenge the Parker 12 League, but it’s a bit too much for you to call the NCAA directly.
………
the second day.
The name of Son of California has spread all over Los Angeles, which means it will spread around California.
All the streets and shopping malls are broadcasting Zhang Jun’s block shot by Lopez. When people marvel at the passion and passion of this ball, they also lament Zhang Jun’s physical talent.
Jesse Bass looked at the scout report in his hand, and then glanced at the team’s queen scout Kaffi Myers.
“Recently, Los Angeles has been talking about this son of California. I watched his game highlights, and his talent and breakthroughs are impressive.”
“The Lakers will hit the playoffs this season, so our draft pick this year will not be too high. According to the current record, it will be between 15th and 20th.”
“If that kid is sure to participate in the draft this year, I will submit my opinion on selecting him.”
“But let me remind you, the Lakers already have Luke Walton, Andrew Bynum, Brian Cook, Ronnie Turiaf, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, etc. A lot of young people.”
“We no longer have the energy to train a new player.”
“The most important thing is that Kobe has expressed his attitude. He is not interested in growing up with these young people anymore. He wants to win the championship immediately, and he wants to surpass Shaquille O’Neal who just won the championship.”
“He wants all-star teammates!”
Kaffi Myers naturally knows the current situation of the team. He knows that Zen master Phil Jackson is not a head coach who is willing to train rookies.
It’s not that he doesn’t have such ability, it’s just that now that he has achieved fame, he is completely unwilling to focus on cultivating rookies.
It can be seen from the fact that the Lakers invited Phil Jackson back last year that they were preparing to appease Kobe and strengthen them.
So, pick the next rookie…
“Anyway, I still want you to watch that guy play. I think the Lakers would be better off taking him than trying to find another All-Star.”
………
The competition in the division continued.
Went to Seattle, Washington State on the west coast, and ushered in the second game in the division with the University of Washington~www.mtlnovel.com~ Before the game started, all players felt what it means to play away games.
Before the game started, the roar of the fans was roaring toward the players like waves.
Alford was worried that young players would not be able to bear such pressure, and reminded him from time to time: “When you get on the court, quickly block out all the sounds outside the court, stay focused, and attack and defend every ball well.”
Game start.
The University of Washington is one of the rare teams in the NCAA to play a large and a small lineup.
The inside giant Spencer Hawes is a pillar of the sky. His height of 218cm is currently the highest in the NCAA.
That’s right, the minimum height of a player at the University of Washington is Jordan Scarlet at 193cm, and the height of the other players is basically within 203cm.
This kind of lineup configuration basically guarantees the extremely strong personal defense ability of the four outsiders, and at the same time greatly pursues the physical impact ability and flexibility. In addition, they all have good three-pointers. As long as the insider Aaron Brooks can maintain Dominance, this is the team that has been nearly invincible.
Swish!
Three points hit!
Swish!
Three points again!
The University of Washington directly scored 9 points in 3 consecutive 3-pointers at the beginning. Here, Zhang Jun completed two breakthrough layups, and once scored to Alfred Abeya’s basket.
But with the same offensive efficiency and the same number of offensive rounds, the score on the field was 9:6, 3 points behind.
“No, the University of Washington’s outside touch is too hot tonight. We can’t give them such an easy shot.”
Sid immediately remonstrated.
