In the locker room.
The coaches of the University of North Columbia were constantly explaining the tactics they had just developed to defend against Zhang Jun.
In the first half of the game, Zhang Jun changed the tempo of the two teams and tipped the scales of victory towards the Sun Devils.
Roy Williams did not expect Zhang Jun's dominance to be this strong. He was not sure if the second half of the game would have any effect on Zhang Jun's defensive tactics, but there was no other way.
"North Carolina University is in trouble. Zhang Jun scored 23 points in the first half. The power of the paint is on full display. North Carolina University failed to limit Zhang Jun's offense in the paint.”
"Of course, on the defensive side, they can't cause trouble for Zhang Jun in the three-second zone. If it weren't for their shooting percentage, the difference in points would be much bigger.”
"Zhang Jun will be a dominant center in the NBA. He's too steady in the paint and rarely makes low-level mistakes. Every technical move looks very mature.”
McBreen and Van Gundy on TV kept bragging about Zhang Jun, which annoyed the North California fans watching on TV.
The scene changed. The reporter was interviewing Jordan.
"Michael, what do you think North Carolina needs to do well in the second half if they want to catch up on points?”
" Defense," Jordan said." There's no doubt that they need to stop that guy.”
The reporter asked," What kind of player do you think Zhang is? Are the Charlotte Bobcats willing to choose him?”
Jordan said," He's probably the most mature player to enter the NBA this year. From a basketball technical point of view, Zhang is very well-rounded. He can score in a variety of ways and defeat his opponents with absolute strength and height. For a player of his size, his passing skills are incredible. Of course, we are willing to choose him, provided that this guy can fall into our lineup.”
Jordan smiled bitterly.
The only player who was recognized as the cornerstone of a team was Zhang Jun. This guy was too popular.
Although Jordan wasn't happy with how Northern California was falling behind, his evaluation of Zhang Jun was still very objective.
After all, he was the basketball god. He couldn't belittle a rookie with potential just because his alma mater was lagging behind. Jordan's situation still existed.
The second half of the game soon began.
Northern Block's offense was still focused on the outside. With Zhang Jun guarding the inside, they didn't dare to rush into the inside.
Lawson stepped back to hit a three-pointer after taking cover from Danny Green on the outside.
This three-pointer helped North Carolina close the score to the single digits.
The fans in the stadium kept cheering. The urgency of the score made the atmosphere more and more tense.
Harden dribbled to the front.
Harrington kept interfering with Harden.
Hansbrough also stood up for Zhang Jun.
"Zhang, I won't let you have it easy for the next few days.”
"Is that so? You're just trash. Your defensive ability is too weak.”
Hansbrough and Zhang Jun were talking trash.
For Zhang Jun, he wanted to win and complete his mission. He wanted to improve his position as much as possible.
Zhang Jun was different from the others. His talent had yet to be fully displayed, and he had played too few matches.
Zhang Jun kept asking for the ball from the low post.
Zhang Jun's positioning was very solid. If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by many players, none of the defenders would have been able to stop him.
Zhang Jun's position was 45 degrees to the left.
"I won't let you vote!" Hansbrough shouted.
Zhang Jun took the ball and made a feint.
Zhang Jun was too tall, and his feint directly pointed at Hansbrough.
Hansbrough knew that Zhang Jun's 45-degree backboard was very accurate, so he pounced fiercely.
Hansbrough jumped up, and Zhang Jun took the ball and took a step forward to break through.
When Thompson and Davis formed a human wall outside the three-second zone, ready to make an offensive foul on Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun grabbed the ball with one hand and hit the board with one hand.
The basketball bounced off the backboard and fell into the basket!!
54 to 44.
Everyone knew that they had to defend against Zhang Jun's backboard attack from that position, but they just couldn't hold it down. Zhang Jun always found an opportunity to backboard.
Zhang Jun opened the scoring in the second half, and his score continued to rise.
The attack of the Northern Block Blue Devils.
Zhang Jun quickly received a reply from the outside line.
Harrington completed a breakthrough against Harden, stopping from a high position and succeeding from mid-range!!
Swoosh!

"James, don't be easily swayed.”Zhang Jun reminded Harden.
Even though Harrington's offense was in the paint, Zhang Jun couldn't help defend from mid-range every time.
Arizona State University's offense.
Harden and Zhang Jun played pick-and-roll.

After attracting the defense, Harden once again found Zhang Jun.
Harden's pass was too big and high, but Zhang Jun still got the ball over Hansbrough's head. Zhang Jun did not stop and took a step forward to make a dunk!!!!
Zhang Jun's dunks weren't flashy, but they were very practical!
56 to 46.
"Zhang Jun's height is unsolvable."
"This is completely homework on the second floor."
"Hansbrough wanted to dribble the ball, but he couldn't.”
"James Harden's passing is good.”
The connection between Zhang Jun and Harden ignited the audience.
This kind of passing and catching was almost the limit!
"Zhang, that's great. You can even catch this kind of ball.”Harden came over and high-fived Zhang Jun.
"You need to treat me to a meal. I'll turn your mistake into an assist, F * ck!”Zhang Jun cursed. Harden's pass was too big.
"Of course, it won't happen again." Harden was also a little embarrassed.
Northern Block's attack came again.
It was still Harrington.
Harrington went past Harden on the outside. Zhang Jun was sandwiched between Hansbrough and Davis, unable to defend.
Harrington stepped over Jackson and made a layup.
56 to 48.

It was still Harden and Zhang Jun's pick-and-roll.
Zhang Jun attracted the attention of the North California defenders, and Harden made a layup.
58 to 48.
The two sides were on the offensive in this match.
Zhang Jun still had no way out. His two-person turn with Harden in the second half of the game had left North University in a terrible state. Although they couldn't continue to pull away from the point gap, North University couldn't continue to chase up points either!!
Zhang Jun was like a giant killing machine in the paint. As long as he entered the paint, he would score!!
Continuous dunks!
A dunk for an offensive rebound!
