[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Zhang Jun suggested to coach Steve Alford some potential high school stars who can be referred to. One is Blake Griffin from Oklahoma Christian High School. Of course, the other party has an older brother, and the two are studying in the same school. , if you want to take him down, you must take down the other two brothers.
Then there is James Harden from Larkwood Adesia High School in the southwestern suburbs of Los Angeles. This should be the most high school student who should be won. A full prize.
Then there's DeMar DeRozan at Compton High School, Tyreke Evans at Aston Christian High School in Pennsylvania...
Zhang Jun returned to Los Angeles this time, and at the same time brought 500,000 yuan in street construction donations to his hometown Compton Avenue, and 500,000 yuan back to his alma mater for special funding for students in the basketball program.
With that money, Steve Alford's signings this summer should be easier.
.........
June 26.
The NbA Draft was held in the theater at Madison Square Garden. Westbrook and Love both got the chance to enter the small green room. It turned out that Westbrook wanted Zhang Jun to join him in the election, but Zhang Jun refused. .
He bluntly said that at this most important moment in his life, he should stay with his family.
The results of the draft did not change much either. Derrick Rose was elected No. 1 and was selected by his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls. He was also considered by local fans to be Jordan's successor. The city finally waited for another hero that belonged to them.
Russell Westbrook was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yes, the NbA no longer has the Sonics. Both were left to Seattle, while Oklahoma City brought a team of its own, named the Thunder.
This is not a small counterattack. After all, before the draft, all scouts and media reporters believed that Westbrook was the top ten pick in the draft, but now he turned out to be the fourth pick in the first round. Kevin Love is even higher.
Zhang Jun really wants to say that the Thunder's draft vision is really the best in the league.
Kevin Love was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies, but the team then held a press conference announcing that the team had completed a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves and would send Love there.

Kevin Love was about to cry when he heard the news. Although Memphis is not a big city in NbA, it is the place where Neoclassicism and Romanticism originated. There are many ancient religious buildings in the city. It is a well-known cultural place, and it belongs to the temperate continental climate, which is better than the freezing Minnesota.
In the entire NbA, the three cities of Milwaukee, Cleveland and Minnesota are considered the hardest brothers and sisters, and Love was selected to one of these three cities.

Thinking about Le Fu who was used to living the life of the rich second generation, Zhang Jun couldn't help but want to laugh when he went to Minnesota to live like a dog.
"Alright, go there and let Le Fu continue to lose weight."
The down-and-out prince Luke Richard Mbah a Moute's draft pick is not so optimistic. He fell to the 37th overall pick in the second round and was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks.
Zhang Jun couldn't help covering his face and sniggering.
"These two are really brothers and sisters in need. It seems that God is fair. He gave them a comfortable family and living environment in the past twenty years. Now they have to pay back all the suffering."
But Mbah a Moute is not as thumping his feet and complaining about others like Love. Even if he was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks, he was very happy and called the chief's father at home that night.
"This kid can be regarded as a model among the rich."
Of course, what Zhang Jun wants to pay more attention to is the Trail Blazers in this year's draft. Their record this year is very good, so the draft pick is the twentieth pick in the first round. The one from France striker Nicolas Batum.
"This is a good choice. The team played a lot of small ball lineups last season, so it is very necessary to make up for the striker position. Nicolas Batum can play small forwards and power forwards, which can help the team further speed up and play small. "
Although Zhang Jun doesn't like Steve Patterson very much, he really has nothing to say about his ability. He is considered average among the general managers of the entire NbA, and the opponent knows exactly what the team needs.
.........
On July 1, the door to the trading market opened.
All the teams in the league are gearing up and the trading market is turbulent.
However, this has nothing to do with Zhang Jun and the Trail Blazers, because the Trail Blazers are occupied by Francis' big contract in the last year, so it is difficult to make heavy signings. Some midlevel signings and role player deals.
Steve Patterson does not dare to make important signings at this time, because the renewal of Luo Yin and Aldridge next year is the most important task for the Trail Blazers.
It's just that Zhang Jun was still attracted by some transactions in the trading market.
"The Houston Rockets have reached a deal with the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets will use Bobby Jackson and the second-year first-round pick and another player as a bargaining chip to get the Kings' Ron Artest."
"This deal will greatly enhance the Rockets' forward defensive strength. I believe the Rockets have suffered from Zhang Jun's suffering in this year's playoffs. They urgently need a player who can defend Zhang Jun."
ESpN interpreted this transaction as the Rockets' trade reinforcement against Zhang Jun. After all, Zhang Jun alone exploded the entire perimeter defense of the Rockets in this year's playoffs.
It’s not that Battier’s defensive ability is poor, it’s just that Battier is not good at defending Zhang Jun’s type of player at all. Even if Battier’s skill in defensive shooting is at the forefront of the league, he can’t stand up to Zhang Jun’s speed. quick.
"Now that the Rockets have Battier and Artest as two top perimeter defensive players, they may really become a strong competitor in the West next season."

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
What left Zhang Jun speechless the most was that the Kings sold Artest for such a cheap price. After all, the opponent was the first small forward dpoY in the history of the NbA. It's just that his temper was a little bad, and they were really willing.
Another deal was that the Denver Nuggets traded Allen Iverson to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Chauncey Billups, the strongest brain.
Because the Nuggets missed the playoffs last season, their management also believed that the combination of the Nuggets' two guns could not help the team go further, so it has come to a time when nothing can be broken.
Of course, in Zhang Jun's view, this is a win-win deal.
The Nuggets have no shortage of offensive players, what they lack are players who can stabilize the team's rhythm and sort out the offense. The Pistons have no shortage of defense, but what they lack is the ultimate personal offense at critical moments.
The Pistons' elimination by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals last season also fully exposed this shortcoming, that is, when Hamilton can't break out on the offensive end, the defensive Pistons alone can't crack the Celtics. defense.
Now with Iverson, this situation should change.
.........
Zhang Jun accompanied the students to complete the two-week training, and at the same time, he went to take credits.
Because it is vacation time and has made a great economic contribution to the team, Zhang Jun's credits are very easy to earn, and he can get the credits almost by attending lectures.
The only thing that makes Zhang Jun not very used to it is that every time in class, the students around will ask him for an autograph, and some female students even show off in front of him, and even the teacher asks him for it.
.........
July 10.
Kobe sent a text message to Zhang Jun.
"Training starts at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll be waiting for you in Philadelphia."
"What the hell!" Zhang Jun glanced at the current time. It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Kobe sent himself a text message to start training at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning?
Los Angeles is a long way from Philadelphia.
When Xia He was in a hurry to buy a plane ticket, she often complained about what Zhang Jun was doing. He was more anxious than having a baby.
.........
July 11.
Zhang Jun came to the meeting place as scheduled. Training started at 4 o'clock, but Zhang Jun rushed here as soon as he got off the plane. It is now 2 o'clock in the morning, and the sound of basketball slapping has already been heard on the training ground.
Kobe was sweating profusely on the court for mid-range shooting training. It can be seen that he has been training for a long time, and there are two trainers following him, which should be Kobe's queen.
Seeing that Zhang Jun arrived so early, Kobe was also a little surprised.
"You are the first person to arrive on time and early in so many years."
"Man, I like you more and more."
Zhang Jun quickly stopped and said, "No, you'd better not like me, because I'm not interested in men, and I still really want to hit you now."
"By the way, who is the least punctual in these years."
Kobe said without hesitation: "Iverson."

"That guy would always use various excuses to excuse why he was late, such as helping the old lady across the road, watching cats and dogs fighting on the road, the car flying past and the girl's skirt being raised, etc."
Zhang Jun couldn't help sighing.
That guy Iverson is not a good bird in private, and I don't know where he saw it. The young lady's skirt was raised.
"You just said you wanted to be beaten by me?" Kobe said suddenly with a frown.
Zhang Jun put down the luggage and equipment in his hand, started to put on his shoes and said, "If you don't have your ears, hurry up and see the doctor, maybe you will have to be reimbursed someday. What I said is that I really want to beat you."
"You can't tell me in advance, in such a hurry, you think everyone has a private jet like you."
Kobe, who has always been serious, couldn't help but smile at this time. Getting along with Zhang Jun made him feel inexplicably relaxed.
He threw the basketball at Zhang Jun, who had already put on his shoes, and said, "I'll give you ten minutes to warm up, and then you'll be singled out for 100 balls. Is there any problem?"
Zhang Jun threw the ball over and said, "If you feel tired, you can take a rest, but I can't wait to punch you."
"Also, 100 **** are too few, I want to pick 200!"
Seeing Zhang Jun completely see through his little trick, Kobe couldn't help laughing awkwardly, then waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if you warm up or not, anyway, I have to rest for ten minutes."
It can be seen that Kobe attaches great importance to this heads-up, and he hopes that he can enter the best state.
ten minutes later.
Kobe nodded at Zhang Jun, indicating that he had almost rested.
Heads-up begins.
Kobe directly threw a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line and made a steady hit, indicating that he could attack the first ball.
Zhang Jun is too lazy to argue with Kobe. The opponent has been famous for many years and beats a rookie like himself to grab the ball. You are no one.
Kobe held the ball outside the three-point line, Zhang Jun was a little afraid of Kobe's shooting ability, so he took a step up and used close defense.
call!
Kobe directly leaned on Zhang Jun and broke through to the basket.
This is footsteps.
Many fans will always have such a question when watching Kobe playing on the court, that is, Kobe obviously didn't exert much force when he broke through, but why it was so easy to pass the opponent, just like Kobe's defensive player deliberately gave up his position when he broke through. It's like letting him in.
This is why fans don't look very carefully at the technology on the pitch.
When Kobe breaks through, he will read the defender's defensive position, and then he will always use the most comfortable footsteps to pass the opponent and rush to the basket.
If the opponent guards his left hand, he will start with his left foot and then naturally face the defender sideways. In this way, the right hand direction will be full of Kobe's breakthrough space, so it will be very easy to enter the basket or the free throw line. .
If the opponent defends his right hand, Kobe starts with his right foot and walks to the left in the same way. This is the benefit of being able to break through with both left and right hands.
Of course, there are also defensive players who will defend against frontal breakthroughs. At this time, Kobe will use his frontal changes or retreat steps to try and return to the previous two matchups.
It's just that this kind of breakthrough can't completely pass the opponent, but it will have a great confrontation with the opponent~www.mtlnovel.com~ So when Kobe uses this kind of offensive method, he is generally weaker than himself in terms of counterpoint strength defender.

This is Kobe's first offense, the way he plays against players who are faster than him but not as strong.
boom!
The first collision between Kobe and Zhang Jun did not knock each other away, nor did he take advantage of it.
This did not surprise Kobe.
The two have already played against each other in the playoffs. Zhang Jun's confrontation ability is not bad. Of course, Zhang Jun's speed is faster than Kobe's. Kobe knows this very well, so he can't play slower than himself but faster than himself. Strong attack method.
And now this kind of offensive method is blocked, which is also expected by Kobe.
call!
Kobe suddenly accelerated twice near the free throw line, and there was a rhythm and time difference. Zhang Jun was directly swayed half a step away.
Although his speed is completely faster than Kobe's, the defender will always be in a passive state, and he will definitely take a step slower when defending. It is difficult for Zhang Jun to keep up with the sudden acceleration near the free throw line no matter how fast he is.
Swish!
Kobe made an easy layup.
"You're not good at defense, man, Philadelphia is not torn."
Zhang Jun smiled and endured Kobe's trash talk.
The Portland fans nicknamed him Tear, and Kobe was mocking Zhang Jun for not having the ability to tear opponents apart.
"It's just that my characteristic is that I'm offensively not defensively. Kobe, you'd better pray that you can score every ball."
