[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
In the post-match interview, Zhang Jun was asked by reporters about his changes in the second half of the game.
"You seem to get used to Chuck Hayes and Mutombo defending you in the second half of the game. How did you adjust in the process?"
Zhang Jun said: "Read the game, read the referee's whistleblowing scale, and of course the most important thing is to be tougher than your opponent."
"I don't know what you guys think, but in my opinion, the NBA basketball court is a battlefield where the weak prey on the strong."
"I know the rules of survival, so I will be tougher than my opponent."
The reporter who asked the question nodded in agreement and continued: "In this game, you made 9 of 18 shots and 13 of 16 free throws. You scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists."
"This is the second consecutive game you have scored 30+ stats. I don't know if any other rookie players have done this before. What I want to ask is will your fiery touch continue?"
Nate McMillan immediately reminded the reporter: "In the history of the NBA, there is a player who scored 30+ points in 6 consecutive games in his rookie season. This is also the best rookie performance ever recorded by the NBA."
"That player is Allen Iverson, and I think Zhang Jun can do the same."
After Nate McMillan finished speaking, he smiled at Zhang Jun. He also looked forward to his disciple breaking such a record, which would be the glory of Portland.
Zhang Jun was silent and said: "My first goal is always to win. If the team loses, then even if I get 60 points, I will not be happy."
"Of course, I will try to look back at a certain stage of my career to see what glory I have created. It will definitely be a very different feeling."
"But I definitely don't go after numbers, that's who I am."
Trail Blazers locker room.
Randolph sat next to his closet with some displeasure, and the TV beside him was still playing Zhang Jun's live interview.
His performance tonight was not very good. He was only 5 of 13 from the field and scored 12 points and 8 rebounds.
This data is far from his performance of 24 points and 10 rebounds per game last season. So far, Randolph has averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game, which is also a significant decline from last season.
"The reason is because of Zhang Jun!"
Randolph said angrily.
Before Zhang Jun came to the Trail Blazers, Randolph was the team's first offensive option, the second was Brandon Luo Yin, and the third was Jarrett Jack.
This season, sophomore Brandon Royon is playing an increasingly important role in the team, and there is a faint tendency for the team to be the team's first offensive choice.
If it was Brandon Luo Yin, Randolph would bear it, because the other party was not so easy to mess with, and the situation behind him was also very complicated.
Randolph was a little scared of Brandon Royne.
"But what kind of onion are you, Zhang Jun? You are not as tall or as strong as me, and there is no one behind you. You are very arrogant all day long!"
Travis Outlaw reminded in a low voice: "Zhang Jun played a little hot in these two games, scoring 30+ in two consecutive games. Nate McMillan likes him very much. I heard Nate McMillan on the bench many times. Milan and Monty Williams are praising him."

"It is estimated that Zhang Jun has now become a favorite in the eyes of the management."
"Zack, if you don't forget it, I think Zhang Jun seems to be a good guy."
When Zhang Jun led the bench lineup, Travis Outlaw became a beneficiary.
The breakthrough of the opponent's strong deterrence can always give Travis Outlaw a chance to open or score at the basket.
Although his average data has not changed much compared to last season, it is still 8 points and 3 rebounds, but his shooting percentage has increased from 43% to 47%.
This season, Nate McMillan could not help but put him on the bench, but with LaMarcus Aldridge's current average of 17 points and 8 rebounds per game, Travis Outlaw has long since lost the competition with the opponent for the starting lineup. forward thinking.
He even thinks that his current data and efficiency are pretty good,
Randolph glared at him, and said fiercely, "So what? I'm the highest paid player in the Trail Blazers, and I'm the player with the best chance of becoming an All-Star this season."
"What do you think I am worse than Zhang Jun?"
"He only won two 30+ games. I have more than 10 30+ games in my entire career. You can finally settle the account."
At this time, Zhang Jun and Luo Yin just returned to the locker room after being interviewed.
Randolph immediately stood up with a bad look on his face.
"Boy, I warned you, back in the Blazers locker room is not going to be so good."
Zhang Jun, who was happily chatting with Luo Yin about their tacit cooperation tonight, immediately darkened.
He put up with Randolph asking him to trouble him before, and he also put up with putting some messy things in his car. A rookie always has to be bullied by a veteran.
But the other party keeps making trouble for him again and again, and it's not the kind of trouble that a veteran takes care of a rookie. He really can't bear it.
Luo Yin stood in front of Zhang Jun and warned: "Enough is enough for Zach, you have already done the rules of veterans bullying rookies, don't bother my brother again."
Randolph exhaled angrily and said, "This is our business and has nothing to do with you."
"Don't think you are not afraid of anyone just because you have the support of the Gambino family behind you. Your hands are too wide."
Zhang Jun stopped Luo Yin, who stood up for him. He hadn't reached the point where he could survive under the protection of others.
Zhang Jun looked at Randolph and said, "Tell me, what do you want."
Randolph pointed to the sneakers he had just taken off under his closet and said, "Take these shoes to San Antonio. I want them to be like new before the game starts."
"And this season I will hand over my backpack to you, and you will be responsible for sending it to the visiting team's closet for me every game."
Zhang Jun looked at the stinky shoes, shook his head and said, "I won't do it."
Hold.
Randolph rolls up his sleeves and is about to fight, and you quit after seeing a pair of stinky shoes, and a backpack.
Zhang Jun is totally right, he hard-pressed Randolph, even if the other party was older than him.
At this time, Aldridge and Jarrett Jack both returned to the locker room. They immediately stopped Randolph, and they were obviously on Zhang Jun's side.
Randolph has bullied many people in the locker room over the years.

Seeing that the fight was over, Randolph simply stopped and said, "You can't be so lucky every night, let your bodyguards be inseparable from you every day."
Zhang Jun snorted and said, "Don't think I'm not convinced by you. If you want me to convince you, you can challenge me one-on-one. Let's talk with basketball."
"21 goals, if you beat me, I will serve you, and I will carry your shoes and backpack for you this season."
Randolph remembered that Zhang Jun had picked almost all the players in the team from the training camp to the present, and without any surprise, everyone won.
Even Luo Yin lost to Zhang Jun in the heads-up.
According to Luo Yin's original words, as long as Zhang Jun touches the ball, you have no chance. His skills and abilities are invincible in one-on-one bullfighting.
Randolph blushed under the gaze of all his teammates, and finally uttered a sentence.
"I won't do it!"
.........
The Blazers have one more game against the San Antonio Spurs before wrapping up their trip against the Western Conference powerhouses.
Nate McMillan reminded players that playing the Spurs is a tough game.
Because they are the defending champions.
Hearing the name of the defending champion, rookies like Aldridge and Luo Yin are naturally afraid, because it is a team that has already accepted the test of the championship.
In the previous life, many fans were arguing over who was the better Spurs in 2007 and 2014.
In Zhang Jun’s view, the Spurs in 2007 were the most balanced year, they could be fast or slow, they could fight the Suns without falling behind and win, they could take advantage of the Jazz’s muscle collisions and fights, and use 4 Easily solve the incoming Nuggets double guns than 1.
This Spurs team was strongest against the Cavaliers' halfcourt offense and transition, as they withstood James' impact and allowed the opponent to post their worst stats since the playoffs.
Many people say that it is because Popovich chose to short James from the outside to make a profit.
But the Spurs just emptied James' outside line, but cut off the connection between James and his teammates at the same time, forcing the opponent to make up to 6 turnovers per game, and also placed Duncan and Bruce Bowen's heavy shackles on the inside and outside.
"The 2014 Spurs certainly had the best and smoothest year overall offensively."
"However, this Spurs team has changed a bit, and it lacks a lot of the traditional style of play, so I still like to play the Spurs team in 2007."
.........
San Antonio.
The joy of the championship is still rippling in this city, the championship trophy flags that have not been removed are still floating on both sides of the street, and the fans rushing to the AT&T Center arena are even wearing the jerseys after winning the championship last season.
After all, they just awarded the championship ring, and the excitement of the fans is still there.
On-site commentary desk.
Kenny Smith said very excitedly: "After the last game, Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan reminded everyone that Iverson set a record of 6 consecutive 30+ points in his rookie period."
"I don't know what he meant by this sentence, but now I am looking forward to whether Zhang Jun can do the same thing as Iverson."

Barkley said: "That's still a bit too difficult. Iverson entered the NBA at the full level that year. In his first season, he scored an average of 24 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game."
"That's basically what an All-Star can pull off."
"Zhang Jun's breakthrough may be comparable to Iverson's rookie back then, but his scoring ability in other areas is much worse."
"At least Zhang Jun has no shooting ability. He has only made 32% of his three-pointers so far, while Iverson has made 34% of his three-pointers in his rookie season."
"In terms of mid-range shooting, the rookie Iverson crushed Zhang Jun even more. Mid-range shooting is Zhang Jun's strong point."
"So, as long as there is a team in the league that can defend against Zhang Jun's breakthrough, then this rookie can be almost completely blocked."
Kenny Smith said very curiously: "But which team can guarantee to completely prevent Zhang Jun's breakthrough?"
"In the last game, the Rockets used Chuck Hayes and Mutombo, both of whom failed to restrain Zhang Jun's breakthrough, and sent the opponent to the free throw line 16 times."

"Which team in the league can do better than the Rockets Chuck Hayes and Dikembe Mutombo?"
Barkley said with great anticipation: "Just tonight, it's Bruce Bowen and Duncan of the Spurs."
The game is about to begin.
The Trail Blazers are regular starters.
Spurs starting lineup: point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Bruce Bowen, small forward Michael Finley, power forward Tim Duncan and center Fabricio Oberto.
Nate McMillan prepares for tonight's game with arms folded and confident.
After defeating the Lakers and Rockets in two consecutive games, Monty Williams has more expectations for the Trail Blazers.
"If we take the Spurs tonight, we're on a three-game winning streak and still beat the defending champions."
"Our future looks bright."
Nate McMillan nodded. The reason why the Trail Blazers can play so well this season is that apart from the growth of Luo Yin and Aldridge, the most important thing is that they supplemented the team's weakest shortcomings.
A player who can determine the outcome at a critical moment.
Zhang Jun's breakthrough kill helped the team a lot at the critical moment.
All! All!
The referee blows the whistle, and the midfielder jumps the ball.
Randolph took the offensive possession strongly in the first possession, and he seemed ready to go full fire tonight.
The Blazers attack.
Randolph's strong inside position is Fabrizio Oberto.
Jarrett Jack passed the ball inside.
Randolph low singles Fabricio Oberto.
One library!
Two libraries!
Randolph slammed into Fabrizio Oberto and scored a basket throw.
"Hit the ball hard!"
After scoring the goal, Randolph was all in black, and walked to the backcourt with his braces on.
He wants to show Zhang Jun that you are not the only one who can win 30+, I can too.

Kenny Smith praised and said: "Randolph will start to exert his strength tonight. Although the Trail Blazers won the first two games~www.mtlnovel.com~, his performance was not particularly impressive."
"The rookies in the team, Luo Yin and Zhang Jun, both stole his limelight."
"But Randolph is capable, so watch him play tonight."
Switch offense.
The Spurs' offensive tactics are weird, not to say that they are sloppy and messy, but they are obviously methodical and organized, but you just can't understand what they are playing.
Tony Parker held the ball outside, and Duncan raised the pick-and-roll.
Duncan didn't move fast after the pick-and-roll. Parker broke through quickly in the first step, but was immediately assisted by Luo Yin.
Facing the help defense, Parker passed the ball steadily to Bruce Bowen on the outside.
This pass choice is very interesting. Luo Yin assisted in the defense, and Parker immediately passed it to Bruce Bowen, who was facing Luo Yin, as if he had been prepared.
Zhang Jun arrived in time and followed Bruce Bowen.
In terms of coach Nate McMillan's pre-match arrangements, the opponent repeatedly reminded Bruce Bowen that he averaged 39% of his three-pointers last season, which is ridiculously high.
So far this season, he has shot 41% of his three-pointers.
Bowen's three-pointer is very accurate.
Zhang Jun followed Bruce Bowen. The opponent had no intention of playing hard at all, and looked for his teammates with the ball.
Duncan shifted from the right to the left to hold the ball again, and then a shot fake turned back from the free throw line and went straight to the paint.
This position is very dangerous.
Randolph made up to help defend, and Fabricio Oberto on the inside was empty.
The Trail Blazers team immediately began to shrink the defense.
Swish!
Fabricio Oberto sent the ball to Michael Finley on the outside, who made a three-pointer.
