Even though it was a big win, the sensitive media still caught on to the decline in Zhang Jun's numbers.
"Thunderclap's Three Rookies Become Nightclub's Advanced VIPs!》
The nightclub prince has unlimited energy. The court is just a warm-up for him!》
"Night after night, no worries about the stadium!"!》
"Top scholar loves long legs!!"
" Harden Ibaka is lost on the field, and the nightclub combination finally affects the game.》
The media finally found out about the news of the three Thunderclap rookies going to the nightclub, and the media also began to attack the three of them.
Especially Zhang Jun, his stats were gradually dropping, from 40 20 at the start to 30 14 now.
The star of hope fell just like that?
The media questioned Thunderclap's management. Could rookies not return home every night?
Zhang Jun, Harden, and Ibaka didn't care about the media's attacks, and Jeter couldn't do anything about them.
They had been going to nightclubs for the past few nights, so there would be times when they would be photographed. However, as long as they won the competition, they did not care. It was just a small matter.
However, after three consecutive nights of going out to play and having to play in the day, Harden's legs were getting weaker and weaker. Ibaka was also a little weak. Only Zhang Jun still looked energetic.
In the fourth game, Harden and Ibaka were in terrible shape. Both of them made a number of low-level mistakes. Zhang Jun scored 45 points and 25 rebounded to help the Thunder beat the Hawks again, entering the knockout stages with a 4 - 0 record.
Zhang Jun used this match to respond to the comments about his declining form.
After the match, Zhang Jun was stopped by a beautiful woman.
This female reporter was a blonde girl with blue eyes.
She was about 1.8 meters tall, had a good figure, and was proportioned appropriately.
"Hello, Zhang. I'm Lauren from Fox Sports.”The female reporter held the microphone and signaled for an interview.
"Hello!" Zhang Jun stopped.
"Did you have fun at the nightclub with James Harden and Sergei Ibaka these past few days?”
"Not bad!"
"Wouldn't it affect your performance if you go to the nightclub the next day when there's a competition?”
"No way. Didn't you see that my data is about the same?”
Zhang Jun didn't think much of this.
He had the same level of physical fitness as Marshal Zhang. He was full of energy every day. If he didn't vent, he would easily lose sleep.
Zhang Jun could understand why Marshal Zhang was nicknamed Zhang Twenty Thousand. He felt that he could do it too.
"Do you have any goals for the new season?”
"Undoubtedly the championship."
"You guys got the first pick last season. Why are you still so confident?”
"Of course, because I'm here."
Zhang Jun said domineeringly.
Lao Lun nodded, satisfied with Zhang Jun's answer.
Zhang Jun's dominance was only fitting of his style on the field.
"Other than you?"
"We have the top scorer Durant, the impactful Russell, and James Harden. I believe we will shock all the teams this season.”
Zhang Jun wasn't bragging, he was stating a fact.
Even if the three MVP's had not reached their peak, their strength could not be underestimated. With him, it would be difficult to break the record of the Bulls '72 wins, but it would not be too much to get first or second place in the regular season, right?
......................
When the match entered the knockout stage, Slag Wave Sports chose to broadcast the knockout stage of the summer league for the first time.
Recently, Zhang Jun had been too popular in the Summer League.
In four consecutive matches, with an average of 20 minutes of playing time per match, he had achieved an average of 40 20 10.
This caused the foreign media to boast about Zhang Jun.
Many of the domestic media didn't watch Zhang Jun's match, so it was hard to brag about it.
Zhang Jun and Harden's clubbing incident vanished into thin air after Zhang Jun's outburst in the fourth match.
However, Zhang Jun's persona had changed. The fans and media no longer just saw him as a good boy.
The three rookies from Thunderclap were all nightclub experts…Nightclub boy group.
A total of 16 teams advanced to the second round of the elimination tournament in Las Vegas.
The Thunder was now the No. 1 seed due to the points difference between the two teams, while the 16th seed was the Pacers.
One of the Pacers was Zhang Jun's 'acquaintance' Taylor Hansbrough.
The Pacers picked him with the No. 13 pick.
Using the number 13 pick without a shooting guard is doomed to failure
Hansbrough's style of play was very tough and good at confrontation. He was a blue-collar player that Larry Bird compared to Dave Cowens.
From this judgment, it could be seen that the Pacers didn't have much expectations for him.
Hansbrough had received more honors than Zhang Jun during his college days. In his four years in college, Hansbrough had been selected for the All-NBA team. In 2008, he won the Wooden Award and was named the American Player of the Year. In 2009, Hansbrough and Blake Griffin were both named the AP Player of the Year.
These were honors that Zhang Jun had never received before.
Of course, Zhang Jun didn't need it either, because he was the champion, he was the MOP, he was the top pick of the draft!!
"This is the second time Hansbrough has met Zhang Jun. The last time in the NCAA, Hansbrough was sent off by Zhang Jun and didn't perform well. Let's see what Hansbrough will do today.”Kefan said.
"There are still many differences between the NCAA and the professional league. Perhaps Hansbrough will give us a different surprise.”Coach Ma said.
On the field, Hansbrough was still a little afraid of Zhang Jun.
In the semifinals against Arizona State, the North American team was almost completely defeated by Zhang Jun.
At that time, Zhang Jun's teammates weren't as strong as they were now, and his teammates were weaker than the ones from Northern Block. How could they fight?
Although he was a little afraid, Hansbrough had always been tough. He wanted to prove himself in front of Zhang Jun.
"Zhang, I'll leave the offense of this game to you.”Harden said to Zhang Jun.
"No way, James, what's going on?”Zhang Jun raised an eyebrow.
"Sigh, don't mention it. It's hard for me to walk now..." Harden shook his head and sighed. The continuous nightclub battles and competitions had made Brother Deng's legs go weak.
"Zhang, I'll leave the defense to you." Ibaka panted.
Ibaka was already panting after just a few warm-up shots.
"You can't do it either?"
"Yes, I'm a little light when I walk now…"
"F * ck!" Zhang Jun was speechless.
Wasn't 28cal very impressive? How did he become so cowardly after playing for a few days?
Harden and Ibaka couldn't figure out why Zhang Jun was so strong. Was this guy really stronger than them?
It shouldn't be based on race?
The match soon began.
Zhang Jun easily passed the ball to Harden, and Hansbrough stopped jumping.
Harden dribbled past half the court, and Zhang Jun ran over slowly.
"Zhang, I won't let you score easily!!”Hansbrough tried to show Zhang Jun his toughness.
"Don't play in the NBA. You're not suitable. I can introduce you to a good job.”Zhang Jun retorted.
Hansbrough seemed to be able to play in the CBA. There should be teams that wanted him.
Harden passed the ball directly to Zhang Jun, who was under the basket.
Once Zhang Jun got the ball, he turned sideways and directly pushed Hansbrough away, grabbing the ball and dunking it on the spot!!!
He didn't even need to jump!
It was that easy!
2 - 0
Hansbrough looked at Zhang Jun bitterly.
"Terrifying height and strength. No wonder he can average 40 points per match!”
"Hansbrough and Zhang Jun aren't on the same level as a center forward.”
"The first round was like an adult hitting a child.”
