The Trail Blazers' training camp continues, and the team's joint training is coming to an end. During this time period, head coach Nate McMillan refused to open the training camp to the public because they were about to conduct tactical drills. "Starting lineup: point guard Jarrett Jack, shooting guard Brandon Royon, small forward Jun Zhang, power forward Aldridge and center Zach Randolph." "Backup lineup: point guard Dan Dickau, shooting guard Steve Blake, small forward Martell Webster, power forward Travis Outlaw and center Joel Pulzbilla." "Role Player: James Jones , Sergio Rodriguez, Fred Jones, Vaughn Weaver." This is Nate McMillan's lineup for the new season based on the performance of the players during this period. Zhang Jun's performance in the training camp was very impressive, and his direct competitor Martell Webster was also completely convinced. , it has become extremely familiar. It is an eternal truth that the capable live on the basketball court. Monty Williams said: "Now that we have decided on the lineup, the team's tactics should also be brought up." "Last season, our main offensive effect was good. Aldridge's mid-range, Randolph's The inside attack, Jarrett-Jack's three-pointer, and Brandon Luo Yin's all-roundness are all very effective weapons in positional warfare." "But we have Zhang Jun in this season, and the use of him And the distribution of the ball is a problem that has to be reconsidered." Nate McMillan sighed, only feeling overwhelmed. This is a happy trouble. After seeing Zhang Jun's breakthrough ability, Nate McMillan even wished that every round of offense would be handed over to Zhang Jun. Of course, this is not realistic. The nba is different from the ncaa, the offensive rhythm is much faster, so the physical consumption of the players and the test of the defensive end are greater. If every ball is given to Zhang Jun to play, then there is no need to think about finishing a season. It is estimated that Zhang Jun will have to be scrapped for half of the season. Moreover, such a style of play consumes energy and is more likely to cause damage to the player's body. "Zhang Jun's power is at the most critical moment in the last quarter. We always fell short at this time last season. With Zhang Jun as the killer this season, I hope he can give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment." "So, In the first three quarters of the game, I will reduce the use of Zhang Jun's personal offense and let him participate in the team's tactical coordination. At the most critical time, he needs to stand up with Brandon Luo Yin and stand up for the team. "Besides, Zhang Jun will become the number one core of attack at this time!" Monty Williams nodded. . "But there is another problem that has to be considered. Even if our starting lineup is placed in an environment full of powerful Western Conferences, it can be regarded as a pass." "But our rotation ability is a bit too poor. Last season, our first The second team lost 10 points per game!" "This is why we decided in advance that we would miss the playoffs and start to play poorly." Nate McMillan agreed with Monty Williams' proposal, and the Blazers' rotation The lineup is indeed not very good, and there is nothing he can do about it. Because this is a defect brought about by the lineup, unless there is a player who has the ability to lead the rotation lineup to beat the opponent alone, he has to find a way to strengthen it. Reinforcement is not something that Nate McMillan can consider. Nate McMillan has not yet found the player who can beat the opponent, and he doesn't think there is such a player in the Trail Blazers. "Such players are not common in the lineups of all teams in the league. Even if there are, they are top ten super giants." "Extravagant hope." After determining the tactics, the Blazers began to practice. Because the offensive tactics in positional warfare have not changed much, so as long as the veterans who stayed in the Trail Blazers last season can adapt quickly. The only concern for Nate McMillan is newcomer Zhang Jun. However, what surprised Nate McMillan was that Zhang Jun's ability to run tactics was very strong. Zhang Jun was able to understand a relatively complicated tactic of high-low dislocation and inside pick-and-roll. Fully grasp. "Zhang Jun's basketball IQ may not have been discovered by those scouts." Of course, Nate McMillan also designed a new tactic. The players didn't know what the significance of designing this tactic was, but they did. This tactic was completely designed for Zhang Jun alone. Even Brandon Royon and Zach Randolph had to obediently make room for him to run. Zach Randolph was upset and offered to cover for Zhang Jun. He pretended not to look at Zhang Jun, but all the words he said were aimed at Zhang Jun. "Hey, is the sock-flavored popcorn delicious?" Zach Randolph spoke in a loud voice, and took the lead in laughing. Travis Outlaw on the side also followed suit and laughed the loudest. Zhang Jun held the ball to execute tactics, and said with a chuckle, "Thank you for the popcorn. I shipped it to Marion, Indiana. People there say the taste is good. They have eaten it like this since childhood." Randolph was stunned. Startled, he suddenly realized that Marion is his hometown. This handsome boy brought popcorn with socks flavor to Marion and gave it to the people there. Isn't it..."You Damn, Mei Ai and Roger live there!" Randolph suddenly stopped the tactical drill on the court, and he grabbed Zhang Jun's collar in a bad temper. Zhang Jun also refused to give in, and said with a cold face: "You don't understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want to do to yourself? If this is a prank played by your veteran on the newcomer, then I can accept it." "But if it is your bad taste Or if you want to teach me a lesson." "Zach, I'm tougher than you!" How dare a rookie say that? ! All the players on the field were stupefied. Although Zhang Jun and Randolph were already a bit of a gunpowder in the first team training match, everyone guessed that some confrontation might break out between the two. But what they never expected was that the scene at the scene turned out to be Zhang Jun tough Randolph. Aldridge whispered: "Brandon, this kid seems to be tougher than you." Brandon Royne and Aldridge were both rookies in 2006, but only Aldridge was bullied in the locker room last year The reason is that Brandon Luo Yin has been a gangster since he was a child, and no one accepts it. After Randolph bullied Luo Yin several times, he was warned by several black-clothed youths when he left the arena, and he never dared to trouble Brandon Luo Yin again. Of course, although Brandon Luo Yin revealed a kind of ruthlessness in his bones, he did not cause trouble but was not afraid of trouble. Brandon Luo Yin looked at Zhang Jun in surprise. He really didn't dare to be tough with Randolph like the other party back then, after all, the other party's body was several laps bigger than his. Randolph was a little confused. He didn't expect that Zhang Jun would dare to fight him like this. He imagined that he would beat Zhang Jun on the spot as before, but because of Zhang Jun's status as the champion, it seemed that the opponent was still Nate Mike. The meat and potatoes in the eyes of Milan. Zhang Jun's status in the team is different from that of Ruben Patterson. Randolph endured and endured, and finally just patted Zhang Jun and said a harsh word. "Your time in the Trail Blazers is still long, remember, I have the final say on the locker room now." … September 28. The Trail Blazers training camp is closed, and Nate McMillan is very confident in announcing at the media press conference. "The Trail Blazers are ready!" The next day is the player's makeup photo and the fan day. Zhang Jun chose No. 4 as his jersey number, and some media asked him the meaning and reason of choosing this number. He said: "I will go all out for the entire four quarters." Nate McMillan smiled but had another explanation: "He will go all out in the fourth quarter." Zhang Jun , Aldridge, and Luo Yin chose a group photo, with Aldridge sitting in the middle holding the ball, and Zhang Jun and Luo Yin separated on both sides.….The preseason starts on October 7. Before the start of the preseason, the general manager Steve Patterson specially came to the training hall to inspect and asked Zhang Jun about his performance in the team. "Is he good enough to start the team?" Nate McMillan and Monty Williams looked at each other, then said. "You'd better wait until the opening game to see for yourself." Steve Patterson looked at the two strangely, and said cursingly: "If the Trail Blazers do not play well in the new season, I will look for you two Trouble.” … October 7. Preseason begins! The Blazers' first preseason game was against the Seattle SuperSonics. Zhang Jun and Durant met again. Coincidentally, the head coaches of the two teams did not send rookies Zhang Jun and Durant to start the game, but let them sit on the bench and watch their teammates play the entire first half of the game. At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers trailed the Sonics 48:55. second half. Zhang Jun and Durant came off the bench at the same time. "I heard from the media that you signed a 6-year 60 million contract with Nike?" "Can you tell me it's not true." Zhang Jun glanced at Durant inexplicably and said, "Did you sign the contract for 7 years?" Is 60 million fake?" Durant was sobbing that he almost pinched Zhang Jun's neck, "Tell me, did they sign you with 50 million for 6 years?" Zhang Jun sighed and said: "Actually, it's 6 60 million a year." Shit! Game start. Nate McMillan asked Zhang Jun to play the personal tactic assigned to him by the team to end the game in the fourth quarter, but the other players who played this tactic were not the normal starters of the Trail Blazers. It's James Jones, Steve Blake, Dan Dickau and Joel Pulzbyla. This is to let Zhang Jun play with a substitute. Monty Williams looked at Nate McMillan in surprise, who nodded slightly and said, "I want to try Zhang Jun's effect." Monty Williams nodded, but also said own ideas. "It's a bit too bold to do this. After all, Zhang Jun is just a rookie." The Supersonics did not send Durant and Zhang Jun to match up, but sent the starting small forward Wally Szczerbiak. Their head coach, P.J. Carlesimo, wanted to use the team's defensive champions to rub Zhang Jun's prestige, because Zhang Jun stole the limelight in the summer league, and even abused Durant in terms of statistics. p-j-carlesimo is a little upset. In the second half of the game, Zhang Jun made 6 of 10 personal breakthroughs, and also made a wonderful pass to James Jones to complete three three-pointers. Durant also had an efficient performance of 6 of 12 shots, but the perception on the entire court was that Durant was pulling out from the outside, and Zhang Jun went inside and upset the Sonics. Wally Szczerbiak was stunned, and when he sat back on the bench, he was stared at by P-J Carlesimo. Wally Szczerbiak spread his hands helplessly, "If you have a temper, go and try it." The Trail Blazers relied on their outstanding performance in the second half to overtake the Sonics and win the game 110:106. Although it was only a preseason game, the entire bench of the winning Trail Blazers was very happy. Zhang Jun accepted the high fives and head pats from his teammates, and his performance in the first preseason game was considered qualified. Nate McMillan and P-J Carlesimo shook hands in front of the tech stage. Nate McMillan said with a slightly envious tone: "Durant is a rookie with great potential, and his shooting touch is really soft." P-J-Carlesimo smiled awkwardly, watching the opposite side accepting Zhang Jun, who was praised by his teammates, felt very uncomfortable.

The preseason continued. Until the last game against the Cavaliers, Zhang Jun averaged 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his average playing time was only 26 minutes per game. Nate McMillan didn't give rookies a lot of playing time in the preseason like other teams. It's not that Zhang Jun didn't deserve so much playing time, but Nate McMillan felt it was completely unnecessary. "Zhang Jun has fully adapted to the NBA." After playing against the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers achieved a preseason record of 4 wins and 2 losses. More importantly, the team's tactics have almost been rehearsed, and there are no major problems. . ……October 31st. nba opener. There are three duels in total. Jazz and Warriors, Trail Blazers and Lakers, Rockets and Spurs. Staples Arena. The fans were full of voices. While celebrating the start of the new season, they also planned to feast their eyes on the performance of this year's No. 1 pick. "I have to say that those people in the league office really know how to attract people's attention." "Zhang Jun, the son of Los Angeles, it's not too good for the Trail Blazers to play the first game against the Lakers." Kenny Smith said with a look on his face. Lehe said. There are four major sports leagues in the United States, and each league competes and relies on each other, so the executives of each league are racking their brains to make the game more enjoyable. Stopping the topic and catering to the topic is what that group of people do. Fliggy Barkley has been paying attention to Zhang Jun's performance since NCAA, and he is very much looking forward to his NBA debut. "I think fans all over the world are like me. They really want to see how this son of California, the first step of ncaa, will perform in nba." "Tonight, their opponent is Kobe Bryant. Lakers."
