108 Is Zach Randolph

All! All!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

On a midfield jump ball, Joel Przybilla leapt high to win the first-round offensive ball for Group A.

Randolph has obviously not adapted to his current body. He has not touched the ball for a summer. It will probably take a lot of time for his sports condition to recover.

"Idiot, you are looking for death."

Randolph looked at Joel Przybilla who took the ball away from his fingertips, and yelled curses.

Group A attacks.

Steve Blake advances with the ball. He is a very traditional point guard. He is diligent, low-key, rarely makes mistakes on the court, and has a certain ability to control the court. He is considered one of the role players in the league. Good passer.

Steve Blake did not pose much of a breakthrough threat. He simply played a pick-and-roll with Aldridge, who was passing down, and then gave the ball to Luo Yin on the weak side.

The moment the latter held the ball, Vaughan Weaver quickly put on defense.

There are many shadows of Kobe in Luo Yin's breakthrough steps. Although this guy doesn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye knows that his idol is Jordan, otherwise why would he bother to follow Kobe's steps?

However, Luo Yin is not as talented as Kobe and Jordan, so when choosing to finish, he rarely uses large backwards or exaggerated pull rods to perform aerial operations.

It's more about physical confrontation.

"Man, the first ball is yours to hit. Welcome to the Trail Blazers."

Uncharacteristically, Luo Yin passed the ball to Zhang Jun on the other side. Even Vaughn Weaver, who was defending him, was a little confused.

Luo Yin is nicknamed the Yellow Mamba. He plays extremely fiercely, is very offensive, and has outstanding personal abilities. More importantly, after the end of last season, he was regarded as a ball player by general manager Steve Patterson. To cultivate the future core of the team.

He didn't attack the ball?

Zhang Jun was not polite when he got the ball, lowered his center of gravity and immediately started to break through.

After all, Zhang Jun is this year's No. 1 pick and is well-known throughout the United States. Martell Webster knows that if he wants to stay in the Trail Blazers, he must compete with Zhang Jun. Even if the opponent is the No. 1 pick, he must try his best. .

"bring it on!"

Martell Webster roared to encourage himself.

The surrounding media reporters who came in to visit also prepared their cameras and planned to take pictures of this scene.

Nate McMillan looked at the court with all his attention. Although he had seen how Zhang Jun played in the NCAA, the opponent now faced NBA-level players after all, and they were extremely defensive and physically strong. Martell-Webster.

"Zhang Jun will not lose."

This round of duel has not even started yet, Monty Williams said with certainty from the sidelines.

He has great confidence in Zhang Jun.

Snapped!

On the court, Zhang Jun moved!

After a powerful smash, Zhang Jun suddenly accelerated to the right.

This starting speed shocked all the players on the court.

Luo Yin looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Although he had already heard that the No. 1 pick in this year's draft had the top breakthrough speed in the NCAA, he was still shocked that it could be so fast.

"Follow beautifully!"

Martell Webster defended!

He was secretly glad that he took the initiative to leave nearly two meters away when defending Zhang Jun, otherwise just this exaggerated first step would have made him pass cleanly.

Martell Webster, who was following Zhang Jun, quickly got up and increased the confrontation.

At this time, he had completely forgotten the instructions of head coach Nate McMillan. This was just a warm-up match.

squeak!

There was a clear sound of sneakers scraping against the floor on the court. Zhang Jun, who took one step forward, stopped the ball and changed hands to get rid of Martell Webster, and then accelerated and changed direction to go to the left.

The magnitude and speed of this change of direction shocked everyone around again.

"Did he change direction just now and not slow down?"

"How is this possible! Can his knees and ankles bear it?"

"This is no longer a question of whether he can afford it, but how he does it."

Zhang Jun passed by Martell Webster and went straight to the basket. Zach Randolph, who already disliked Zhang Jun, felt even more unhappy after hearing the praise of Zhang Jun from countless people around him.

He pounced directly towards Zhang Jun who was flying into the air. Although Randolph's defensive goal was to go for the ball, his height and weight and his all-or-nothing defensive method were not much different from going towards Zhang Jun. .

"Why did you put so much defensive intensity in the first place!"

"This is a team training match. The labor and management don't want any players to be injured on the first day of the new season."

Amid Nate McMillan's worried voice, Zhang Jun suddenly tightened his abdomen and pulled the lever, and got under Randolph's right hand.

Uh-huh!

A hit from an extremely tricky angle.

Hiss~

There were several gasps of air on the court.

Luo Yin stretched out his left hand and looked at Zhang Jun.

"Good guy, your breakthrough is really so strong, I can't wait to challenge you one on one."

Zhang Jun reached out and high-fived Luo Yin and said, "I have the same idea."

"Hold!"

Zach Randolph, who was hit for a layup, smacked the ball in displeasure.

Although his defense is not top-notch among inside players, it is above average anyway. His frame protection was so easily passed by Zhang Jun, how could he feel so comfortable.

Off the court, Nate McMillan said with a long breath as if he was relieved.

"No wonder you are so confident in him, his breakthrough is really scary."

Monty Williams smiled.

He wanted to say that if Nate McMillan could coach in the summer league and see with his own eyes how Zhang Jun tortured every player on the court, he would not have any worries.

But Monty Williams had no explanation. He turned to another topic.

"Zhang Jun and Luo Yin will definitely become the twin stars of the Trail Blazers. This combination will scare the entire league in the near future."

On the court, the game continues.

In Group B's offense, Zach Randolph forced his way inside and beat Joel Przybilla repeatedly.

Even though Joel Przybilla is taller, a full 216cm, and even heavier, he is really no match for Zach Randolph in the comparison of strength and brute force.

"Give me the damn ball!"

Facing Zach Randolph's roar, Jarrett Jack quickly passed the ball in.

He had seen with his own eyes how Zach Randolph beat up Ruben Patterson. He could give any excuses like the pass was too comfortable. Randolph simply wanted to beat Ruben. -Patterson only.

Jarrett Jack didn't dare to challenge Randolph. With such a small figure, he would probably be disabled with one slap.

Randolph caught the ball inside.

boom!

A library!

Bang bang bang!

Erku!

Randolph hit him several times, knocking Joel Przybilla inside so hard that he almost didn't get up.

boom!

Randolph turned around and scored with one hand.

"This is Zach Randolph."

Nate McMillan couldn't help but sigh.

Although Randolph is a well-known thorny player in the league, the Trail Blazers still signed a six-year, 84 million maximum salary contract with him last year.

No one felt that there was anything wrong with the contract that general manager Steve Patterson gave that year.

With a strong body and excellent strength, he is very good at using body collisions to complete personal offenses. Any inside player will have a headache when encountering Randolph and have to decide in advance the hospital where he will go to recuperate tomorrow.

What's even more commendable is that Randolph's arrogant body and playing style can still have a very soft touch. Especially near the basket, Randolph's small hooks and throws are very intimidating.

"But he was also a bad boy who was constantly causing trouble."

Monty Williams said with some helplessness.

Nate McMillan sighed. This was what made him very angry. He contradicted the coach, insulted the assistant coach, beat up his teammates, scolded the trainer, did not come to training for no reason, and even deliberately angered Porter outside the arena. Lan fans.

Nate McMillan went to general manager Steve Patterson more than once about Randolph, but he always got the same answer.

He is still young, just a child...

Switch offense.

Zhang Jun broke through Martel Webster again. After a continuous shake, Zhang Jun broke through and reached the basket.

Martell Webster has been confused by the breakthrough. He has been in the NBA for four seasons, and has defended countless offensive masters during this period, but Zhang Jun is the only player that makes him desperate.

"Changing direction without slowing down, who would have thought of this!"

Martell Webster wanted to call his teammates to double-team Zhang Jun, but when he thought that this was just an intra-team confrontation, head coach Nate McMillan also set a warm-up level of relaxed confrontation from the beginning.

He really couldn't keep his face and open his mouth.

Fortunately, Travis Outlaw and Randolph took the initiative to defend from the inside.

Zhang Jun suddenly had eyes in the back of his head and threw the ball behind him. Luo Yin rushed in from the middle, caught the ball and dunked the ball in one go.

"How did you kid know that I was following you?"

Luo Yin couldn't help but high-fived Zhang Jun again.

Zhang Jun said casually: "I saw your footsteps moving in the first step of my breakthrough. Where can you go if you don't follow up?"

Luo Yin chuckled, a little underestimating that this rookie could have such excellent basketball IQ and vision.

Martell Webster on the side almost cried.

"How can I still have the energy to see what others are doing when you're alone? Can you concentrate more!"

Group B attacks.

Randolph once again bullied Joel Przybilla with the ball inside, and his iron elbow nearly knocked Joel Przbilla into a mental retard.

After flying over Joel Przybilla, Randolph thought he had the ball in hand and turned around to face the empty basket with a nimble little hook.

Snapped!

There was a clear sound of a basketball being slapped, and then the basketball was blown out of the court.

The entire stadium suddenly fell silent.

Jarrett Jack couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, Aldridge's eyelids trembled when he saw it, Steve Blake was afraid of causing disaster and had already avoided the fish pond, and Travis Outlaw pretended to be a tiger and cursed: "You kid is looking for death!"

Off the court, cold sweat broke out on Monty Williams' forehead, and Nate McMillan took a few steps toward the court.

Joel Przbilla, who had been pushed against for the whole game, leaned towards Zhang Jun while staring nervously at Zach Randolph.

Luo Yin put his hands on his hips, his face expressionless.

"My darling~"

Randolph couldn't help but look behind him. He wanted to take a good look at who dared to give him this big hot pot. After seeing Zhang Jun, he was stunned for a moment before cursing.

"You're so good, kid!"

Zhang Jun nodded without giving in and said, "If I have the chance, I will still punish you."

this……

Travis Outlaw took a breath, this is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Luo Yin behind him couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"He's so proud, just like me in my first year as a rookie."

Seeing that the situation did not continue to escalate, Nate McMillan did not stop the game. Zhang Jun played 20 minutes and shot 7 of 10 shots, 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and also played with Luo Yin and Aldridge. It was a good collaboration.

Nate McMillan is very satisfied with Zhang Jun's performance, not only because of his scoring, but also because of his almost crushing breakthrough threat to Martell Webster.

"The Blazers have been missing a killer, I'm sure of that."

"Zhang Jun is the killer I've been looking for!"

…

Nate McMillan organized the first training camp interview of the new season.

The entire interview room was already waiting for a large number of media reporters.

Even Nate McMillan, who has been working as a head coach for eight years, encountered so many media reporters for the first time.

He couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Jun was really the darling of media reporters.

"Zhang Jun, how does it feel to meet your teammates for the first time?"

Zhang Jun smiled and said: "No, the first time I met my teammates was with Aldridge in the summer league. This time I should meet all my teammates."

"It feels good."

The reporter who interviewed smiled and reminded: "Does it really feel good?"

"There was still one member of the Portland Prison Team who was on the team back then."

Zhang Jun naturally knew who these reporters were talking about, and he also experienced the opponent's bad temper on the first day of the training camp.

"Honestly I'm not a difficult person to get along with. I may not have become friends with my teammates yet, but it won't be a slow process."

"Because I'm a good person."

The reporter couldn't help but trembled her lips. She was very worried just because you are a good person.

Luo Yin on the side smiled and said nothing. Just because Zhang Jun dared to criticize Randolph today and said he was a good person, Luo Yin would not believe it even to death.

Xia He stared at Zhang Jun as he walked down and narrowed his eyes and said, "You are getting more and more experienced in answering interviews, but you are just a little shameless."

Zhang Jun said: "Why should I be shameless if I tell the truth?"

"Am I not a good person?"

Xia He duck nodded and affirmed: "You are a bad person."

After saying that, Xia He pulled Zhang Jun towards the garage.

"I've taken a fancy to some furniture. Let's go see if you like it."

Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think it matters whether I like you or not?"

"Don't think I don't know, you asked me to pay."

Xia He burst out laughing.

"You are so smart."

The two came to the underground garage. The Hummer H2 was filled with popcorn, as well as the smelly clothes and smelly socks of all the players in today's training game.

"Eh, so disgusting."

Xia He pinched her nose and stuffed her little head into Zhang Jun's arms. The smell was indeed a bit high.

Zhang Jun affirmed: "Zach Randolph did it."
