120 Will Be Sprayed Into Disgrace

"Congratulations to Zhang Jun. You defeated the powerful Eastern rival Orlando Magic 115:110. After the opening game, you recorded an excellent record of 5 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the Western Conference!"

"This season you have exceeded everyone's expectations and performed very well. Can you tell us what happened here?"

When interviewed by reporters, Zhang Jundanding said: "It is a reasonable offense and a strong performance at critical moments. We play team and selfless basketball, each performing his own duties and helping each other."

The reporter continued with a smile on his face: "We very much agree with this. Luo Yin has continued to improve and averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season. Aldridge performed well in the last two games and is currently averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game." 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.”

"And you carried the team's offense at critical moments, becoming the Trail Blazers' scoring leader with an average of 31 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, while also ranking second in the league's scoring leader list."

"Offense seems like a very simple thing to you."

Faced with such praise, Zhang Jun still looked calm.

"To be honest, scoring in the NBA is easier than scoring in the NCAA. It's not that the overall strength of the NBA is worse, but that there is more space on the court and the rhythm is very different."

"So I will have a lot of individual singles opportunities in the NBA, which I can't imagine in the NCAA."

Although Zhang Jun said these words with a calm expression, he was immediately shocked in the ears of the reporter.

In the NBA than in the NBA when no one double-teams you?

The reporter thought about it carefully and it seems that this is indeed the case. Except for the occasional help defense that Zhang Jun encountered when playing against the Rockets and the occasional double-team against the Cavaliers, most of the time he was indeed in a one-on-one offense. in the environment.

These teams in the league don't seem to realize that a rookie player can kill someone one-on-one on the court.

But these words may make the remaining opponents of the Trail Blazers very dissatisfied.

The reporter still did not forget to remind Zhang Jun: "After this game, you have tied Iverson's record of scoring 30+ points in 6 consecutive games in his rookie season. If you score 30+ points in the next game, you will He will break the opponent's record and become the first player in NBA history to score 30+ points in 7 consecutive games in his rookie season."

"The Trail Blazers will have a three-day holiday next. I think you have enough time to prepare for the game against the Nuggets."

Zhang Jun nodded. The continuous battles and competitions did make him a little tired.

This is the biggest difference between the NBA and the NCAA. In the NCAA, you can only play a maximum of 40 games in a season, or less than 30 games, and a maximum of 2 games a week.

But the Trail Blazers played 4 games this week, and there was even a back-to-back game during the period.

What's more important is that such games are still the norm, because there are a total of 82 games in the entire season, and including the playoffs, it is not uncommon for the number of games to exceed 100.

The NBA game schedule is too dense.

Moreover, running from southeast to northwest, players have to overcome jet lag and keep their bodies in a state of preparation at all times, so they will naturally feel tired.

Nate McMillan announced in the locker room that the Trail Blazers have entered vacation time on the spot. All players can take a two-day vacation, but they must return to Portland the day before the start of the game to prepare for the game against the Denver Nuggets. the match of.

"Why did you choose to take a vacation in place this time?"

"I originally thought you would take the players back to Portland before announcing the vacation, and there was a high probability that you should only give them one day of rest."

"Is two days too long?"

Faced with the question from assistant coach Monty Williams, Nate McMillan took a deep breath and said.

"There is nothing we can do about it, because we may have to rush back to Portland to deal with a more difficult matter."

Monty Williams frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Naturally, Nate McMillan was so anxious to return to Portland because of the team management, but Monty Williams really couldn't imagine why the team management was so anxious to call the two back to Portland.

After all, the Trail Blazers have an excellent record now, and the three young players have also fulfilled their talents and performed well on the court. I heard that the fans in Portland are already excited because of Zhang Jun's hot performance in the NBA. Even Zhang Jun's posters were pulled up across the city.

The Trail Blazers now need to have a good record and a good player, and even the business aspect has been greatly improved this season.

What else does management need to worry about?

Seeing Monty Williams lowering his head and thinking, Nate McMillan patted his old partner on the shoulder to remind him.

"It's Zach Randolph."

.........

Player tunnel.

Xia He, who finally waited for Zhang Jun to finish his interview, raised his hands high and stretched out comfortably, with his chest sticking out.

"I can finally rest. After these six games, I feel like my whole body is going to be useless."

Xia He said with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Jun shook his head speechlessly, "Sister, it's me who plays on the court, okay? Tell me what's wrong with you?"

Is it possible that having too big a peak is also tiring?

Xia He took Zhang Jun's hand and smiled matter-of-factly and said, "I have to take care of your daily life, take care of your schedule, contact CAA, and deal with Nike for your first pair. Exclusive combat shoes.”

"You think it's not hard for me to do so many things?"

Zhang Jun couldn't help but look at Xia He and said: "What have you arranged for me in terms of diet? Chicken breast and vegetable salad for every meal. Sister, although professional athletes should try to eat as little red meat and highly carbonated foods as possible, there is nothing like you." ah."

"Beef is also edible. Beef is rich in sarcosine, which is particularly effective in building muscle and enhancing strength."

"Beef can also effectively supplement adenosine triphosphate, allowing training to last longer. Didn't you know this?"

"Let alone daily life, how can you take care of me?"

"By the way, what happened to my first pair of signature sneakers?"

Xia He was unable to refute Zhang Jun's complaints. He could only stick out his tongue and pretend to be aggrieved and said: "Well... Nike hasn't replied to me yet, but I will send the final sneaker model as soon as possible. Show it to you."

"I have sent you all the sneakers you have been wearing during this period. They will adjust them according to the stress points and comfort of your shoes. In short, the first pair of signature sneakers will be made to fit you best."

Zhang Jun rolled his eyes at Xia He and said, "So...you haven't done anything."

Xia He puffed up his chest and argued: "You can't say that. Diana asked me to inform you to fly to Los Angeles immediately after tonight's game. Your star card and endorsement have been negotiated, and I'm waiting for you to sign a contract with the brand. Ceremony and press conference.”

Zhang Jun sighed helplessly, which meant that his rare vacation without a game to rest was in vain.

But Zhang Jun was still extremely excited when he thought about going to Los Angeles.

........

As soon as she got off the plane, Diana picked up Zhang Jun in her car and took him to a conference room, with the management of the Star Card sitting across from him.

The whole signing ceremony went very quickly and Diana was very efficient.

"This matter is finally done today. The salary should be credited to your account next week. You can also use the money to renovate your new house."

"By the way, we have to sign a contract with CAMEL tomorrow. They want you and a female star to shoot an underwear advertisement immediately after the contract is signed to promote their new underwear."

Hearing that the female star Zhang Jun became energetic.

"I have no other intention, I just want to see if this female star is good to work with, so can I ask who she is?"

Looking at Zhang Jun's LSP appearance, Diana didn't know what the other person wanted to ask, so she immediately explained.

“When most underwear brands are looking for endorsement partners, their first criteria are that men should be muscular and handsome, and be able to attract their customers at first sight.”

Zhang Jun didn't want Bi Lian to interrupt and said: "I perfectly meet these points."

Diana nodded in agreement and continued: "The requirements for women are higher than those for men. In addition to being sweet and tall, the most important thing is..."

Zhang Junjing was waiting for the next step, but Diana was a little embarrassed to speak, which aroused Zhang Jun's greed.

Seeing Zhang Jun's anxious look, Diana could only helplessly put her hands under her neck and gestured.

"It also requires that this place must be big."

Diana and Xia He stared at Zhang Jun at the same time.

Zhang Jun quickly waved his hand and explained: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. If it weren't for work, I wouldn't bother to deal with such people."

"By the way, you haven't told me who she is yet."

Diana said: "Scarlett Johansson."

Zhang Jun: "......"

...........

That night, Zhang Jun and Xia He returned to Compton Street.

Zhang Jun greeted his neighbors and acquaintances on the street. Some young people who had been kicked away from the basketball court by him in the past also ran over to say hello enthusiastically when they heard about his arrival.

They regard Zhang Jun as their idol.

In such ghettos, all young black men share the same dream.

Zhang Jun looked at the crumbling Zhulong Village with some discomfort, because Yin Lisabai still lived here and was alone.

Xia He knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

"Hey, I guess mom is out again."

Xia He has long been accustomed to it.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the room opposite opened, and Yin Lisabai stepped out of the room with a smile on her face, even greeting the people inside.

"Tom, you performed well today. I'll discuss it with you next time when I have time. I'll go back first."

"You're back so early? Would you like some more midnight snacks?"

"Fuck you."

Yin Lisabai closed the door and saw Zhang Jun and Xia He. She was stunned for a moment and then ran over happily. Her fat and short body shook the whole floor.

"Oh my God, my precious son and daughter are back. Why don't you call me in advance so I can prepare dinner for you."

Xia He tilted his head and smiled: "I didn't expect the signing process to go so smoothly and end so quickly. I said we were afraid you would be late and we didn't tell you in advance."

Yin Lisabai glared at Zhang Jun and said, "What's wrong? Mom shouldn't wait for her son?"

Zhang Jun reluctantly mentioned the scene just now and said: "Mom, the one opposite..."

Lisa Bai Yin said: "That's your Uncle Tom. He just moved here recently. He is very nice and the people in this building are very nice."

After saying that, Yin Lisabai walked straight into the room, leaving Zhang Jun and Xia He helplessly looking at each other outside the room.

After eating, Zhang Jun suddenly suggested: "Mom, why don't you come back with me and live with us."

"Sister, I've also been renovating the house recently. You can give us some reference."

As soon as she heard that Zhang Jun wanted to take her away again, Yin Lisabai quickly shook her head and refused and said: "I won't go anywhere, I have to stay here."

"When people get old, they always want to have roots. If the roots are gone, those who leave home will never have a way back home."

Xia He held Zhang Jun's hand and said nothing, but shook his head at him.

Zhang Jun knew that the two of them were hiding something from him, so he did not continue talking about this matter and instead said: "If you insist on staying here, you must agree to repair this building. "

Yin Lisabai was stunned for a moment, then realized and said, "That will cost a lot of money."

Xia He thought for a while and said: "If it is just to make it more beautiful, the exterior walls, inner passages, walls... it should cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. If we also need to improve the infrastructure or To make it better, it would probably cost two to three hundred thousand.”

Lisa Bai Yin hesitated and said, "This money can almost buy a house in the outer suburbs of Los Angeles."

Zhang Jun said: "As long as you are happy."

Xia He interrupted and said: "With my help, my brother has made a lot of money now. This little money is just drizzle to him. If you don't agree, he will always feel uncomfortable every time he comes back and sees this place. He will Worried that I didn’t take good care of you.”

Zhang Jun had almost no objection to Xia He's words, but he had a big objection to the one about him making a lot of money with her help.

Yin Lisabai promised Zhang Jun that this building should indeed be repaired a long time ago. It was dilapidated and old. The first floor had already become a garbage dump and no one cared about it.

"By the way, I will go to your Uncle Jefferson's house tonight. You two remember not to fight at night and go to bed early."

Yin Lisabai's words had reminded her two children for eighteen years, and it was only at this time that they realized that the two children had grown up.

Smelly ditch.

"You brat, you knew you were coming back, but you thought you'd just forget about Compton Street after signing a big contract."

Chuck Daly is still lying in the stinky ditch, and the only thing that never changes on the TV is basketball games or news about basketball.

He has a rosy complexion and looks in good physical condition today.

"If I don't come back, how will I know if this old boy like you is still alive? Seeing how glorious you are, I'm afraid you can live another 20 years."

"Sure enough, it's the good people who don't live long that cause trouble for thousands of years."

Chuck Daly grinned with his toothless mouth and said: "With your blessing, I can live for 20 years to see what kind of career you will have in the NBA."

"By the way, you have played well in the last 6 games. I found that you are starting to shoot mid-range shots. This is a good improvement."

"But your defense, three-pointers, passing, and ability to drive teammates all need to be improved. Don't think that you can defend just by relying on your physical talent to block a few good shots."

"Your poor defense would have been criticized 20 years ago, and the coach would have put you on the bench and yelled: Where is your defense?"
