"Cameron…Cameron... Why was all the media and fans talking about Syracuse's Cameron Anthony?”
Sitting on the bus leading to the stadium for the top 32 matches, Diner could not help but complain as he read the newspaper in his hand.
" He's the biggest star player in the NCAA," Novak said timidly.
"Do you think he will be the top draft pick in the NBA this year?”Dinard looked at his teammates around him.
"Why did I hear that LeBlanc James has a higher chance of becoming this year's top draft pick?”
"I've watched that guy's competition. His body is very abnormal!”
The team's two inside players, Robert Jackson and Scott Merritt, said from the back row.
"That high school student? Cameron's skills were more comprehensive, right?”After saying that, Dinard looked at Zhang Yan."Zhang, what do you think?"
"James is definitely above Cameron, no doubt.”Zhang Yan replied without hesitation.
As a transmigrator with God's perspective, this question was simply a free question for Zhang Yan!
"Stop arguing. I think these two people are not as talented as Zhang. If I had the top pick, I would definitely take Zhang first!”
While they were discussing, Wade suddenly said,"
When Wade finished speaking, his teammates on the bus laughed. They all thought that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere and let his teammates relax with the impending battle.
Because everyone knew that it was impossible.
No player who didn't even make it into the major draft prediction lists before March Madness could be selected as the top pick.
But Wade was serious. He knew very well Zhang Yan's terrifying talent and upper limit.
Wade believed that what Zhang Yan needed to do now was to continue to lead the team to the next round with him, increase his exposure, and show his talent in front of many NBA scouts and managers!
As the bus stopped, the Marquette University players began to warm up.
At this time, TJ Ford, the star player of the Texas Longhorns, was being interviewed by reporters before the game.
“TJ! In this game, you'll be facing the best point guard in the history of the NCAA. Do you have anything to say about this?”
"I will defeat him with speed!"
TJ Ford was very confident. After he finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders. Whether it was his body language or his facial expression, he revealed the superiority of being a popular point guard in the lottery!
The two live commentators also began to work after the audience had basically entered the venue.
"According to the information we received before the game, Zhang appeared in the starting lineup of the Marquette Golden Hawks!”
“WOW! TJ-Ford VS Zhang? This would be a showdown between the fastest No. 1 player and the highest No. 1 player in the NCAA!”
The fastest versus the biggest?
This statement immediately aroused the interest and curiosity of the audience.
......
......
“OHHHHHHHHHHH!! Heavens! What did I just see?"
"Zhang Yan first made a quick turn to pass TJ Ford, then strode into the penalty area.”
"Then, he completed a parabola downward throw before the two inside players could defend!？”
When the live commentator said the words " parabola downwards ", he unconsciously increased his volume and revealed an incredulous expression!
Tossing was a scoring method favored by the young defenders.
The general way to open a toss was to aim at the basket and throw it up in a high arc. The parabola was upward.
Zhang Yan's way of opening the toss was to jump to the highest point and then drop the ball from afar!
His jump and wingspan were too exaggerated!
That was why it created a visual impact of a downward parabola!
Normally, a defender would choose to throw to avoid blocking, but when Zhang Yan jumped, he realized that no one could block him!
All he needed to do was put the ball into the basket.
With Zhang Yan's seemingly easy but actually abnormal throw, the first half of the game between the Marquette Golden Hawks and the Texas Longhorns ended!
47:27, Marquette University was leading by 20 points!
"Zhang! You should've used a hard glide to smash the ball just now!”
As soon as the whistle sounded, Wade ran to Zhang Yan's side.
"Take it slow. Warm up your hands in the first half and increase your strength in the second half!”
Zhang Yan pinched Wade's cheek and the two of them walked into the players 'passage with a smile.
Behind them, TJ-Ford was completely confused.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, he looked at Zhang Yan's personal statistics on the big screen. 18 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounding.
You call this warming up?
FXXK, we really met a monster today!
TJ Ford cursed under his breath and walked into the locker room.
Throughout the first half, TJ Ford and his Texas Longhorns were beaten to a pulp.
Zhang Yan was dominant in both offense and defense. The scariest thing was that TJ-Ford thought that this guy still had some strength left.
On the offensive side, Zhang Yan continued to organize fast attacks.
It was either a precise pass through the entire field or a dragon dribbling the ball down quickly.
As long as Zhang Yan and Wade rushed together in the fast attack, the attack would end early.
TJ-Ford could keep up with Zhang Yan in terms of speed, but so what?
The height difference between the two of them was a full 30CM!
This was only the official data. From Zhang Yan's point of view, TJ-Ford's 180cm height was a little exaggerated.
With such a height difference, TJ Ford was destined to be unable to defend against Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan could easily slam dunks over his head, or jump over his head to pass the ball to a teammate in a better position.
The only thing TJ Ford could do was foul or complain to his teammates about not helping him defend.
When he landed, Zhang Yan's playstyle was even simpler. He didn't even need a pick-and-roll. He just played TJ Ford alone!
A height difference of more than 30 centimeters was like an adult beating up a primary school student!
No pressure at all!
This also led to the Texas Longhorns switching defensive positions with small forwards Lawrence and TJ Ford less than seven minutes into the game.
However, the worst part was that Zhang Yan actually took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll. If the Longhorns did not switch defense, Zhang Yan would have directly pulled out three points from the outside.
If they switched defense, they would continue to torture TJ Ford, just like how they destroyed Deron's psychological defense in the last game!
On the defensive side, Zhang Yan was definitely not TJ Ford's match in terms of pure straight-line acceleration.
In the positional battle, the two started at the same time. TJ-Ford was almost half a body ahead of Zhang Yan when he reached the penalty area, but this was also Zhang Yan's favorite difference in body position when chasing the hat!
It made the opponent feel safe and at the same time, it was within the coverage of his own defense.
After being blocked twice in a row, TJ Ford finally reacted. This guy was different from any point guard he had faced in the past!
As a result, TJ Ford gave up on playing solo with the ball and tried to use pick-and-rolls to avoid Zhang Yan or break through to pass the ball to his teammates.
However, the effect was not ideal. The reason why TJ Ford was ranked among the top in the NCAA in assists was that others did not know whether he was going to make a layup or a pass when he rushed into the paint.
In front of Zhang Yan, as long as TJ Ford broke through the lane, everyone knew that his next move was to pass the ball.
This was no different from playing cards in a game of Fight the Landlord. The worst part was that the cards were not as good as the others!
Therefore, in the first half, TJ Ford's statistics were 4 points, 2 assists, and 4 turnovers.
This embarrassing data could not be seen in front of Zhang Yan.
TJ Ford began to regret what he had said in the pre-match interview: I'll beat him with speed
It had only been half a game and he already felt his face swell.
