NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker - Chapter 180
[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Chuck Hayes, who was still instructing his teammates, turned his head in confusion. He glanced at Zhang Jun, and then looked back at the basketball that fell from the net. Chuck Hayes couldn’t believe it. He looked back at Zhang Jun again.
“You voted?”
Zhang Jun nodded and said, “I voted.”
Chuck Hayes smiled and said, “Still standing two meters away from the three-point line?”
Zhang Jun said with certainty: “Yes, the distance from the three-point line should be about two meters.”
Chuck Hayes is happy.
“You’re lucky.”
“Forget it, let you be fooled.”
The Rockets switched offense. After Zhang Jun came on the field to help defend, the Rockets immediately felt a different defensive intensity on the offensive end. In addition, Chuck Hayes had almost no offense, so Zhang Jun double-teamed the assist. More decisive when defending.
The Rockets’ offense failed this round.
It’s the Trail Blazers’ possession again.
Zhang Jun advances with the ball.
Chuck Hayes still chose to retreat to the free throw line, and then continued to tell his teammates left and right.
“Don’t be distracted, don’t forget what I said just now, don’t think about defending against this guy alone, be decisive when double-teaming and assisting in defense, and concentrate…”
Swish!
There was another crisp sound of a basketball hitting the net.
Chuck Hayes glanced at the basketball that fell from the net behind him, and then looked back at Zhang Jun again in a daze.
“What are you doing?”
Zhang Jun spread his hands and said, “What are you doing?”
Chuck Hayes pursed his lips and said, “You shot a three-pointer again? Did you make a mistake? You are one of the players with the best breakthroughs in the NBA. Now you are shooting a three-pointer in front of me?”
Zhang Jun was stunned and said, “Hmm…… Is there any problem? Is it because the NbA stipulates that I cannot shoot three-pointers.”
Chuck Hayes forced a smile and said: “It’s not a matter of rules or regulations. You are Zhang Jun. You are shooting a three-pointer now, or two consecutive ultra-long three-pointers. Brother, don’t you think you are joking?”
Zhang Jun shook his head in denial and said, “Hey, Chuck, I’m going to shoot a three-pointer on the next ball, do you believe it?”
Chuck Hayes looked at Zhang Jun solemnly and said, “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it even if you kill labor and management! You can’t get in even if you vote!”
Zhang Jun chuckled and didn’t explain.
In the next round, it was the Trail Blazers’ possession again.
Zhang Jun advanced with the ball, Chuck Hayes still retreated to the free throw line confidently, then slapped the floor with both hands, stared at Zhang Jun and shouted.
“If you dare to vote, I will let you go!”
Swish!
Zhang Jun opened his hand without any explanation, the basketball drew a perfect range in the sky, and then stably and hollowly entered the net.
“If you dare to let me go, I will vote!”
Chuck Hayes stood there dumbfounded. He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhang Jun in disbelief.
“This is the third one.”
Zhang Jun gestured towards the scoreboard above his head, and Chuck Hayes realized that the Rockets, who originally led the Trail Blazers by 10 points, now only had a 1-point lead.
“Oh my god, three consecutive ultra-long three-pointers, is this the ball shot by Zhang Jun?”

“It’s just incredible!”
“This scoring explosiveness is unheard of. In less than one and a half minutes, the 10-point difference was almost wiped out.”
“This is too scary.”
Yu Jia finally waited for Zhang Jun’s brilliant performance, but he didn’t expect the picture to be so jaw-dropping. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that Zhang Jun did it.
Su Qun said: “This is just a game, and it’s just a preseason game. If Zhang Jun can have such a three-point accuracy in every game, other teams in the league may really feel fear and panic. “
on the pitch.
Chuck Hayes continued to release Zhang Jun’s ultra-long-range three-pointers as if he didn’t believe in evil, and the result was that Zhang Jun completely treated this preseason game as a shooting practice.
Both Channing Frye and James Jones, who had been waiting to catch the ball, had already begun to akimbo on the court dissatisfied at this time.
Originally, they thought they were the protagonists on the court after Zhang Jun came on the court, but Zhang Jun shot three-pointers more fiercely than them.
After the half quarter of the game, Zhang Jun opened fire from outside the three-point line. Facing a completely empty defense, he made a terrifying three-pointer rate of 9 of 11 shots and scored 27 points in the half quarter.
Rockets coach Rick Adelman was beaten by Zhang Jun and stood up directly. He was very unhappy and called a timeout.
“It only took half a quarter to go from leading by 10 points to trailing by 10 points?”
“Are you guys going to play ball?”
“Chuck! What are you doing! Do you know how many points you let Zhang Jun score!”
Chuck Hayes spread his hands helplessly.
He wanted to tell Rick Adelman, you are yelling fiercely here, if you have the ability, you can find someone who can defend Zhang Jun.
off the pitch.
Although Yao Ming, McGrady and Ron Artest are all wearing training uniforms, none of them will play tonight, and none of them are activated in the team roster.
Because Yao Ming participated in the Olympic Games, his body was extremely exhausted. The head coach Rick Adelman also intends to make Yao Ming exempt from all preseason games.
McGrady has a hidden waist injury, and it is still unknown whether he can even play in the opening game of the regular season. As for Ron Artest, he is still a new aid. Rick Adelman hopes that Artest can get familiar with the team as soon as possible. Tactical system, strive for the regular season to be able to seamlessly connect with the team.
On the bench.
“Ron, can you guard against that guy?”
Maddie asked very seriously.
In the playoffs of last season, McGrady was arranged by coach Rick Adelman to defend Zhang Jun many times, because Shane Battier in the team is not good at defending such amazingly fast players.
As a result, it was very uncomfortable for McGrady to defend. Although it was difficult for Zhang Jun to limit himself on the offensive end, McGrady’s defense against Zhang Jun was far less effective than the opponent’s.
This is also the reason why in the series between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers, Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jun broke out many times, but the Trail Blazers always had the last laugh.
Artest hesitated for a while, and after thinking carefully, he said: “I played against him last season, and I can limit him very well, but his performance just now bluffed me.”

“If Zhang Jun’s three-pointer is just a joke tonight, then you just have to wait and see. I can completely lock him up in the next game.”
“But if his ultra-long-range three-pointers are really so accurate, I don’t think I need to say that you should already understand that a player’s breakthrough is at least the top three in the league, his mid-range shooting ability is at least the top five in the league, and he has a good hand. Three-pointers, no one can guard him.”
Yao Ming said with certainty, “Don’t worry, he probably won’t shoot 3-pointers. He’s just playing around tonight.”
“Zhang Jun told me before that the reason he is unwilling to shoot three-pointers is because his breakthrough efficiency will be higher, so it is impossible for him to give up his breakthrough and increase his outside shooting, even if he is working hard to improve this off-season. My own three-point shooting ability, I think it will not suddenly improve so rapidly.”
“In an off-season, his three-pointers can at most improve to the league average.”
McGrady nodded. He really hoped that as Yao Ming said, the Rockets specially introduced Ron Artest for Zhang Juncai. If they still can’t guard against him in the end, then the Rockets may announce their disbandment next season. up.
Of course, winning Artest is a deal that kills multiple birds with one stone, because he can also limit Kobe, who reached the finals last season.
Strictly speaking, the Rockets have only three potential competitors in the West in this year’s playoffs, one is the Lakers, the other is the Spurs, and then the Trail Blazers.
Moreover, the Trail Blazers’ lineup this season is even a point weaker than last season. As long as there are no accidents, as long as the Rockets can defeat these three teams with targeted reinforcements, they should not have a big problem entering the finals .
Of course, there is also a Nuggets team that made a big deal in the offseason, but whether Chauncey Billups and Melo Anthony can quickly integrate and play extremely smooth cooperation is still unknown.
“The time left for me to compete for the championship is running out.”
McGrady touched his back and said seriously.
On the field, Zhang Jun continued to explode. Rick Adelman replaced Battier to defend Zhang Jun and put Chuck Hayes directly on the bench.
Shane Battier didn’t let Zhang Jun’s shots be as exaggerated as Chuck Hayes did. As a result, Zhang Jun started his breakthrough performance again. Without Yao Ming’s frame protection, the inside of the Rockets was paper to Zhang Jun of the lake.
Within 2 minutes, Zhang Jun broke through the basket 4 times in a row and scored 8 points in a row, directly extending the lead to 15 points.
His terrifying scoring explosive power also convinced the off-season fans on the scene, and even applauded and cheered.
This is the Rockets’ home game, and the Blazers have completely turned the away game into a home game.
But at this time coach Nate McMillan replaced Zhang Jun.
“It’s already enough. You don’t need to continue playing with a 15-point lead. Let your teammates go up and practice.”
Nate McMillan still hadn’t recovered from the shock at the moment. Seeing that Zhang Jun was just sweating slightly and sitting on the bench, he couldn’t help walking over and asking.
“Your three points…… Is it true or not?”

Looking at the eager gazes cast by Nate McMillan and assistant coach Monty Williams at the same time, Zhang Jun nodded and admitted.
“Coach, no team will dare to let me shoot three-pointers in the future.”
Nate McMillan gasped when he heard that, and then had a look at Monty Williams.
They knew very well the gold content of what Zhang Jun said. Since he said there was no problem, there must be no problem. Zhang Jun’s three-pointer counted.
“good!”
Nate McMillan said excitedly.
He has been impatiently waiting for the start of the new season, so that the entire league can take a good look at the strength of the Trail Blazers this season.
The game ended quickly, and the Trail Blazers won the game 112:106.
In the next preseason game against the Timberwolves, the three young cores of the Trail Blazers played at the same time. As a result, it took only 8 minutes in the first quarter to set off a wave of 21:10 offensive highs.
The game was reduced to garbage time early. Zhang Jun was replaced early after playing for 14 minutes. Luo Yin only played for 18 minutes. Aldridge scored a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds in 20 minutes.
For the new season, all three are full of desire.
………
The opening game is scheduled for October 29.
The Blazers play the NbA opener for the second straight year.
There were only four games in total that day, and the contest between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers attracted the attention of all fans.
They all want to see the replay of the Western Conference Finals. After an off-season change, the lineups of the two teams have undergone some changes, and their grievances from last season will continue into this season.
Especially the Trail Blazers, they are extremely eager to avenge the Lakers.
One day before the opening match.
The Barkley Show.
Kenny Smith said to the camera: “ESpN announced the team strength rankings for the new season.”
“The first place is the Lakers, which failed to win the championship last season, the second place is the Boston Celtics, and the third place is the one-year-old Spurs.”
“It is worth mentioning that the Rockets that got Ron Artest rose to the fourth place in the league’s strength list, and the Portland Trail Blazers ranked sixth.”
Seeing this ranking, Kenny Smith couldn’t help smiling and said: “It seems that ESpN is still not very optimistic about this unconventional and anti-traditional Trail Blazers team.”
“Last season, this team made it to the Western Conference Finals, but this season it didn’t even make it to the top five.”
Barkley showed his iconic big mouth and said happily: “Actually, I and ESpN also have the same opinion, because the inside line of the Trail Blazers is too weak.”
“The reason why this team was eliminated by the Lakers last season is also the reason, as long as they have a center inside who can protect the frame and grab rebounds, they will not be beaten like that by the Lakers’ Gasol and Bynum. “
Kenny Smith said: “What’s more important is that the Trail Blazers also let go of the best helper of the three cores during the offseason, Jarrett Jack.”

“It makes them obviously very weak at the point guard position, which is not good news.”
“We all know that the Trail Blazers’ second team values three-pointers very much, but now that Jarrett Jack is gone, Steve Blake has to be put on the starting lineup, so who will replace him?”
“With the way the Trail Blazers are right now, no one on their team has that kind of three-point shooting ability.”
“So last season’s playoffs made the Trail Blazers all-stars in the league, and I’m afraid we won’t see them this season.”
“They have lost their biggest reliance and trump card, and the management should bear a lot of responsibility for this.”
Barkley knows better than Kenny Smith the team’s management system. He analyzed at this time: “The Trail Blazers’ management should not use any salary space in the team, and next year Luo Yin and Aldrie Odd’s contract renewal as an excuse.”
“You failed to make this team that reached the Western Conference finals last season stronger, and you have no right to make any excuses.”
“It’s the West, guys, it’s the Wild West.”
“Can you imagine a team with a winning percentage over .550 and not making the playoffs?”
“Anything can happen in the West. If the Trail Blazers regret not making the playoffs this season, I will not be surprised, because the teams behind are aggressive.”
“If the Blazers still suffer from potential injuries, I don’t think they can survive the horrible journey in the West.”
