Halftime jump ball, the game begins.
Aboya jumped off the offensive ball in the first round, and Darren Collison advanced with the ball.
"Boy, come and break through me!"
Julian Wright put one hand on Zhang Jun's back while resting his chest on Zhang Jun's shoulder, with his right hand fully stretched out to block between Zhang Jun and Darren Collison.
This is a very good defensive habit, because it looks like two cars chasing each other in an F1 race, so this kind of defense is also called defensive overtaking by fans.
"Brother Jun?!"
Darren Collison found that Zhang Jun had been guarded tightly, and he really couldn't decide whether to pass or not.
Zhang Jun also felt the oppression brought by Julian Wright's defense. He first turned to the right side to get rid of Julian Wright's defense, but the opponent's hand on Zhang Jun's back shoulder played a role.
Julian Wright made a secret effort to prevent Zhang Jun from going to the basket, and at the same time, he quickly raised his body back and returned to the state of confronting Zhang Jun head-on.
After Zhang Jun turned back and ran to the top of the arc, Julian Wright's other hand was always between Zhang Jun and Darren Collison.
This defense is really strong!
"Pick and roll!"
Zhang Jun moved across directly in front of Darren Collison, and the latter immediately understood and made a human wall.
Julian Wright was blocked by Darren Collison, and Zhang Jun used the pick-and-roll to catch the ball and stand outside the three-point line.
"Go away!"
Julian Wright pushed his teammate Sawa Barton not to play Zhang Jun.
In the entire University of Kansas, the only one who can possibly defend Zhang Jun is Julian Wright.
Julian Wright faced Zhang Jun again. He concentrated on clenching his fists and squatting slightly, lowering his center of gravity and keeping his eyes on Zhang Jun, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
call!
"Fuck!"
Zhang Jun suddenly started to go to the right, and passed Julian Wright with a lunge. The latter had a good defensive awareness and immediately made up for it with sideways defense.
At the same time, Eunice Warren, a 211cm big center inside the University of Kansas, quickly stepped up to supplement the defense.
The coaching staff of the University of Kansas obviously made very sufficient preparations, knowing that when Zhang Jun breaks through and enters the penalty area, the best way to defend him is to step up and intercept Zhang Jun.
But Zhang Jun has encountered such defensive targets from his opponents throughout the season, and he has long been accustomed to playing in this defensive style.
He leaned forward with his left foot to test, took a quick step with his right foot towards his right hip, took a feint and then scored with one hand.
"The European step like a textbook!"
Julian Wright also wanted to form a supplementary defense behind him, but what he never expected was that Zhang Jun's wingspan was even better than him.
His physical talent is already considered very good in the NCAA, but he met a player who was even more perverted than him, which made Julian Wright hit hard.
"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't trash talk someone who can't be defended at all." Zhang Jun spat back the trash talk.
Julian Wright grinned angrily, clamoring to make Zhang Jun look good in the next round.
Switch offense.
He chose to run to pick and roll teammate Sawa Barton, and then went down to attract the defensive attention. After failing to get a good opportunity, he immediately set a screen for center Eunice Warren, and then bounced outside the three-point line Look for open opportunities.
Zhang Jun admires Julian Wright quite a lot. Unlike Nick Young before, although Julian Wright wanted to respond to Zhang Jun, he didn't just use one single hit after another. Instead, he used other methods. to help the team.
Pick and roll, run positions, look for opportunities, and immediately see how the point guard's teammates are going to execute the next offense after they have not formed a tactic.
If it is breaking through the basket, he will try to rush to the board. If it is a mid-to-long-range shot, he will block the opponent as soon as possible to help center Eunice Warren get a more comfortable space to grab the basket.
Once the rebound fails, Julian Wright will quickly enter the defensive state again, limiting the opponent's conversion attack.
"Aside from other things, Julian Wright is indeed a very hardworking and team player."
The University of Kansas, which failed to attack, began to mark Zhang Jun. It was already a very difficult task for them to successfully break through the wild card game and enter the first round of March Madness.
It's just that the gap between them and them is too obvious in terms of strength. Zhang Jun began to create opportunities for his teammates after encountering strict defense.
Love has gradually surpassed Mbah a Moute to become the No. 3 scorer after successfully losing weight. He is an offensive power forward and is now more and more accustomed to the intensity and rhythm of NCAA games.
During Zhang Jun's frequent double-teaming, he made 8 of 16 shots in post-up singles in the penalty area and outside anti-aircraft guns, and scored a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.
Mbah a Moute performed extremely well on the defensive end. After Love took over the responsibility of the team's third scorer, he almost put all his focus on defense, with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Aboya was also very happy to receive Zhang Jun's sudden pass, with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, and he completed his task under the basket excellently.
Darren Collison and Zhang Jun play very similarly, focusing on breakthroughs. After Zhang Junqiang attracted defensive double-teams, his breakthrough scoring efficiency has improved a lot compared to last season. According to ESPN's draft The ranking has also risen again and again.
Moreover, Darren Collison also has an ability that Zhang Jun does not possess at all, that is, the combination of sudden shots. He scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in this game.
Zhang Jun still performed efficiently, making 10 of 16 shots and 6 of 8 free throws. He once again scored a perfect data of 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
Won the first championship victory with 91:80~www.mtlnovel.com~ Well done guys! "
"You guys were impeccable in this game tonight."
Alford high fived the players with satisfaction.
In the first game of the championship, facing opponents from the National League, he did not have stage fright and played his own offense. This is a very good start.
And Alford has noticed that Zhang Jun has not yet fully exerted his strength. Facing the extremely strong defensive player Julian Wright, his offense is still easy and capable.
"This is the confidence in this year's championship!"
After the game, Julian Wright took the initiative to find Zhang Jun, and the two gave a big hug without saying much.
Julian Wright admired Zhang Jun's frighteningly fast breakthrough, and Zhang Jun admired Julian Wright's dedication to the team first.
Although they were rivals on the court, and even had an extremely intense confrontation, they had become good friends the moment the game whistle was over.
"Kansas is over, my NCAA is over."
"I'm going to take a good rest tomorrow and go find an agent and apply for the NBA draft."
Having said that, Julian Wright squeezed Zhang Jun's shoulder hard.
"I believe that there is no pressure to enter the NBA with your strength, and I will wait for you in front."
Zhang Jun hesitated for a while and didn't nod, because he hadn't considered this question until now.
If Julian Wright had said this to him at the end of his high school league, Zhang Jun would have told him without hesitation: I am ready to land in the NBA.
But now, Zhang Jun looked back at his good brothers.
