Chapter 2 I just want to play in the NBA!
"Fighting like yours...... I suggest just surrendering. As soon as the second half of the pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info appeared, Zhang Fu's poisonous tongue was launched.
"You'd better look at the scoreboard first, you're falling behind, don't make a mistake." The Wesleyan High School player fought back.
"You're mistaken!" Zhang Yu shook his head, revealing a very hurtful and mocking smile, "You are now fighting for something that cannot be taken away, and the winner of this game has already been decided. And, who do you think the audience here today is coming to see? Who are those scouts coming to see? You should be honored to be able to compete with me, otherwise you will never see such a big scene in your life. ”
When the players from Knox Grammar High School heard this, they seemed to be a little more embarrassed, Zhang Zhu not only mocked the enemy, but also did not save face for them, and sarcastically mocked both sides at once.
Obviously, this is again a manifestation of immaturity.
Since Knox Grammar High School is called an aristocratic school, it means that people who can come here to go to school are either rich or expensive.
However, Zhang Qiu never cared whether their parents were multimillionaires or not, this team has always been his word, and no one can refute him. Moreover, he is also very demanding of his teammates, many times exceeding the range of the fish pond players.
In the past three years, several players in the team who were originally of a certain level finally couldn't stand his strict requirements and quit the team one after another.
Zhang Qian didn't care about this before, he always felt that he was enough for this team, and it wasn't until the past two years that he struggled in the national tournament that he slowly understood the importance of having one or two helpers, at least not to waste his passes repeatedly.
At the start of the second half, Wesleyan High School did not limit himself to scoring alone, occasionally using three to cover the defense.
They are also not afraid that this will allow others to get open shots, Knox Grammar High School players have a hard time shooting even open positions, both defensive methods are effective against Knox Grammar High School, who said that this team is the only one who can score.
Most of the fans at the scene are inclined to Knox Grammar High School, not only because of the home game, Zhang Mao is also more like a lone hero at this time, and it is often easier to be brought in and sympathized with by everyone when he fights alone.
At this moment, in the eyes of these fans who don't know Zhang Mao, his trash talk will be interpreted as a manifestation of character and ability, and his non-stop data will be considered a never-say-die spirit......
Of course, there is one of the most important reasons why there is such an interpretation - that is, Zhang Yu is handsome enough!
In this world, only handsome is righteous, and ugliness can only be a villain, at most he will whitewash you when he dies.
Zhang Fu's biological father is not Zhang Mo, both of them know it, but this does not prevent him from always treating Zhang Mo as his biological father, and the latter does not have the slightest guilt, and the relationship between the two fathers and sons is so good that they envy others.
But from Zhang Mao's appearance, others can still easily see that he is a mixed-race child, but Zhang Mo is a pure Chinese.
With a mother of one-quarter English ancestry, one-quarter French ancestry and half Chinese ancestry, Zhang was a tripartite race; As for his old royal father, half of him is of Jewish descent, the other half is of Chinese descent, and that bastard is also a mixed race.
So strictly speaking, Zhang Zhu is only half Chinese, and he is a four-country mixed-race.
This can be clearly distinguished from some physical features, such as although his hair is black, his eyes are blue, and his facial features are more or less European and American.
The real point is that mixed-race people are more likely to produce handsome guys and beauties, which is also maximized in Zhang Mao.
This is also the key to his ability to attract a large number of female fans, he has a handsome face that thousands of girls fall in love with, coupled with his strong body and cheating bed ability, it is not surprising that there are a lot of female fans and female Pao friends.
It is not difficult to explain that at least half of the 20,000 fans at the scene today are women......
"You go down for me!" Zhang Qi shouted!
Fans at the scene know that Zhang Zhu is not only all-round on the offensive end, he also has a strong dominance on the defensive end, and that body alone is enough to bring endless pressure to these high school players.
Wesleyan High School's Nigerian black interior was about to complete a layup under the basket, and Zhang Fu, who had been on the outside defense a moment ago, flew to the basket in a blink of an eye and pressed the basketball extremely violently from behind.
"It's a foul!" The Wesleyan coach shouted from the sidelines that his starting center was rolling on the ground.
After Zhang Yu covered the basketball just now, not only did he not retract his strength, but instead added a lot of strength, slapping this poor guy directly to the floor, and his attack was indeed very vicious!
The referee hesitated, of course Zhang Mao fouled the ball, but high school basketball games cannot be punished according to the scale of professional games, otherwise no one can play the whole game.
He was a little too much for Zhang Yu this time, but he was absolutely wonderful in his cap, and he was hesitating whether to give a penalty?
But the next moment, he heard the screams and cheers of the fans!
The cheers immediately put the referee's thoughts of a foul on the back burner, as it was Knox Grammar High School that was behind at the moment.
After Zhang Fu covered the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack, although there were already two defenders who took the first step back to defend, but Zhang Fu's strong body and super fast speed combined, like a super-powerful American muscle car, one foot on the accelerator can not be stopped.
The fans in the audience only saw Zhang Yu slap the basketball hard, and strode past the guy who wanted to copy the ball from one side, and the whole person instantly hung up to the fifth gear, and the two players in front of him who retreated first were caught up by him in a blink of an eye, and then in the blink of an eye, he was left far behind, and he couldn't catch up anymore.
The last to come, the first to overtake, continuous overtaking——
This kind of meteor-like violent breakthrough can stimulate the adrenaline of fans the most, but Zhang Qi was a little more elegant when he completed the dunk at the end.
The fans at the scene had already held their breath, and after Zhang Fu stepped into the restricted area, he immediately rushed to the basket with great speed, but there was an obvious stagnation in the air, and instantly switched from dynamic to static, from violence to elegance, and then picked up the basketball with his right hand alone, drew a beautiful arc, and dunked the ball into the basket sideways like an axe.
"Oh my God, is this ball flat?"
"Can anyone tell me how Leon landed safely when he took off diagonally?"
"God, I was really worried that Leon was going to hit the rebound, but luckily he didn't get hurt."
"Leon, this ball is so handsome, I love you to death!"
“…………”
The fans at the scene were stunned by Zhang Fu's shocking dunk, in addition to all kinds of exclamations, there were also a large number of undisguised meows from female fans!
But in fact, Zhang's ball is far from reaching the level of a flat frame, his running bounce height barely reached 90cm a month ago, but the vertical bounce is less than 85cm, and his body that is not yet 18 years old has not yet fully developed.
However, the American scouts on the scene could see more from this slam......
Zhang Wei deliberately used a difficult dunk to show his physical fitness this time, the purpose was to show these professionals, and the effect was also very good, these arrogant guys finally began to get serious.
Some fans can also see that Zhang Mao's tomahawk dunk is much worse than many jumping men in the United States in terms of height, but the dunk is not only about the height of the jump, but more importantly, whether the player's body in the air is stretched enough and whether the posture is graceful enough.
At this point, I believe that those who have played the ball know that the action in the air mainly relies on the waist to exert force, and then all parts to coordinate. If the waist and abdomen strength is strong enough, the force of other parts can be reduced in the air, or even no force.
Zhang Fu's action just now was extremely fast when he jumped, but in the air, it suddenly gave people a feeling of lightness and fluttering, and there was no trace of fireworks in an instant. And he didn't move anymore after he rolled up his legs after the jump, and he stretched out sideways to complete the slam dunk.
This dunk is the hardest part! This proves that Zhang Fu's dunk does not need to be coordinated by his legs at all, and it is completely his upper body doing actions after taking off, which shows that his waist and abdomen are extremely strong, and he can even be said to be perverted.
These scouts from the United States naturally know very well that even in the NBA, there are many players who can jump high, but there are few players who can turn dunks into weight.
Although, Zhang Qiu's jump height for this dunk was insufficient, which reduced some of the difficulty. But he was also a high school student who turned eighteen a few months away, which made it all the more precious. So of course they have to start getting serious, and the physical fitness of this half-breed is indeed commendable.
However, Zhang Qi at this stage can also do this, although he can often play amazing offense and defense in the second half, but this is only because his physical fitness and technique are far superior to these opponents, when the opponent from time to time to open up to him multi-person bagging, or deliberately empty him, if there is no one or two reliable teammates to stand up to help, it is like Jordan has not been able to make a breakthrough in the playoffs in the first seven years-
One person, after all, can't fight five, even in an Australian fishpond.
Knox Grammar High School in the second half, with Zhang Zhu's consecutive scores, finally narrowed the gap to 6 points, but as he was surrounded by three defenders, his teammates missed three open shots in a row, and the difference was quickly widened to double digits.
Zhang Mao's heart has always felt incredible, why whenever he needs help, these wastes can't even shoot in the most basic vacant positions?
"Oh my God, that's an open shot! That is, a shot that no one defends at all, how simple it must be! Even elementary school students should be able to score a lot of these goals, right? Zhang Zhu couldn't be calm anymore, and he labeled his teammates as "waste" in his heart.
But this is a bit of a matter of course, maybe for him, shooting in the open position is equivalent to giving him points, but he can't impose his ability on others, not everyone in this world has his talent.
Of all the players on the court at the moment, including the Wesleyan High School players, most of them except him don't actually have the talent to play professional basketball.
These people's basic skills are already poor, their psychological quality is not strong enough, and their physical strength in the second half is also insufficient. And the more they miss, the greater the pressure on them, and the greater the pressure, the more naturally they are in a state, and a vicious circle has already been formed.
Zhang Wei now regrets not practicing his three-point shot seriously, and if he has a stable three-point hand, he can still gamble on his character.
It's a pity that in the high school game, he only needs to shoot accurately enough, which is enough to kill the Quartet. And he prefers to use his body to eat opponents, and these offensive methods are much more reliable than floating outside and shooting threes.
Today, Zhang Yu also tried to shoot a few three-pointers to see his luck, but unfortunately he didn't hit, and now the opponent began to repeatedly use three people to wrap him, and slowly, even he began to feel insufficient in physical strength.
There's no way around it, he's always playing a few games today, and he can't be lazy when he comes back to the defensive end, almost attacking and defending, and with his physical strength that hasn't really gone through professional training, he definitely won't be able to hold on to a whole game.
As a result, when the game came to the last ten minutes, the frequency of Zhang Mao's attack with the ball began to decline, and the game basically lost its suspense.
The scouts from the United States also had a general understanding of Zhang Mao's ability at this time.
Speaking of which, in a low-level competition like this, they don't care who wins or loses.
Therefore, Zhang Zhu chose to do his best to show his personal ability in the competition, which is a very smart approach. Regardless of how his team plays, at least he has shown his skill and physical fitness through countless 1v3 and even 1v4 today.
"This kid is kind of like Jamal Marsh." An American scout felt that Zhang's template should be Jamal Marsh, who is 206cm tall, weighs 230 pounds, can shoot from multiple positions, and his excellent ball handling skills make him unique among NBA small forwards.
Zhang Zhu is now less than 18 years old, but he already has a height of 200cm, and it should not be a problem to grow a few centimeters taller, and 200cm-205cm is the height of a classic small forward, plus Zhang Zhu's more comprehensive skills, he is indeed somewhat similar to Jamal Marsh.
"I think he's more like Glenn Robinson." Some scouts believe that Zhang Fu's style is more like the big dog Robinson, who is also a one-step blind spot in the NBA three-point line, with jump shots, small hooks, and backs, which is also very similar to the technical style shown by Zhang Qiu today.
Speaking of Glenn Robinson, this is a great guy, this guy averaged 21.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as soon as he entered the NBA last season, and he also earned the nickname "Big Dog".
However, this lord is bad because he doesn't have a strong heart, although he was just selected by the Bucks in 94 and asked for a 100 million yuan contract, and finally bargained with the Bucks for 10 years and signed 68 million, but his desire for honor is far less positive than money.
When it comes to NBA player contracts, Big Dog's contract was a shocking contract last year, and it also directly spawned the strict first-round rookie salary regulations that the NBA has implemented since 1994.
The wages of NBA players have entered an era of skyrocketing in recent years, Joe only earned more than 3 million when he retired in 93, Ewing and Barkley were less than 3 million in 93, and those veteran players will of course be upset when they see an unqualified rookie get such a lucrative contract.
So it is conceivable that those stars who have signed long-term contracts before believe that they will have the urge to vomit blood, so they gave birth to new regulations on first-round rookie salaries and years.
Zhang Zhu continued to brush up on the statistics in the last ten minutes, and although the team's point difference was getting wider and wider, it made him no longer have the hope of winning and began to pass the ball to his teammates again.
But don't get me wrong, he didn't suddenly come to his senses, he actually wanted to make a better impression on these scouts, and at the same time get more points after the game.
In the past two years, he has found that the higher the level of competition, the more competitive points he can get, for example, the difference between the competition points that can be obtained in the regional competition and the national competition is more than doubled.
So Zhang Wei felt that if he could play in the NBA in the summer, he wouldn't be drooling all day long just looking at the expensive cards in the store.
It does work for him, scouts only look at whether he makes a good pass, but they don't care if it goes in or not, because it's not under his control, so his passing performance is recorded, but the number of assists is not that important.
These American scouts now have a good evaluation of Zhang Zhu, although he can't see the real potential at his age, and the outside players are also the easiest position to look at, and there will be a large number of top physical players in the NBA every year who can't play, or even can't mix at all, but at least there is hope for the body, and there is no room for fantasy without the body.
Zhang Zhu's top physical fitness can give people hope and fantasy, and every guy who can mix in the NBA is a genius who can crush most players of the same age within a certain range in high school and college, and Zhang Qi is at least above the standard at this stage.
Before this game, many NCAA basketball schools invited him to go to school in the United States, and the conditions offered were also very sincere, not to mention full scholarships and the like, which is the most basic promise, most of these schools promised him a starting position, and some schools also promised him core treatment.
Under this condition, if you change an American high school student, eighty percent of them have already begun to choose which university to go to, but Zhang Qian doesn't want to go to college for another year.
Well, he also knows that he will play a year in college before participating in the draft, and when he waits for next year, his draft market will definitely be better, and nine out of nine will be the top pick in the first round, and it is not a fantasy to even hit the top three picks.
But the problem is that the NCAA tournament doesn't have enough competitive points to satisfy his appetite.
Zhang has no soft spot for the NBA, and his goal has always been to compete in the spot, so only the NBA, the highest temple of basketball, can meet his demands, even if he may fall to the second round of the draft too early, he feels that the price is bearable.
Zhang Zhu's decision is very risky, even if you are a high school genius born in the United States, if you don't go to college and go directly to the draft, unless you are an inside genius with obvious height advantage and athleticism, it is difficult to get a high pick, let alone an Australian genius that Americans don't understand.
In the field of basketball, inside rookies are always valued more than outside rookies, because the talent of inside players is easier to be noticed, as long as you have height and athletic ability, and your brain is not too bad, then it is basically half the battle, and the rest like technology and the like can be slowly sculpted, only this kind of inside rookie is not easy to look away.
But if it is an outside player with strong uncertainty, if you have gone to college, it is fine, and high school players basically don't want to compete for the top three, because there are too many variables for outside players than inside players, and it is not only a good body to play, but also ball intelligence, technology and professionalism are indispensable.
So the devil knows if a high school student will be able to play it in the future? Naturally, no one would risk a draft pick that was too high because they had other better and more certain options.
In the last five minutes of the second half, Zhang Mao's pass finally paid off again, and his personal data rose to 38 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals and 7 blocks, which was the answer he made before the end of the game. The reason why there are so many rebounds and blocks is because he plays the No. 4 position, and Zhang Qi has always played the two-way forward position in the team.
High school players are certainly not as tall as professional players, so Zhang Mao's two-meter height can play inside in this level of competition, but it can also be seen from his all-round skills that he will definitely gradually develop into a small forward in the future, unless he can grow another 10cm taller this year.
Two minutes later, Zhang Fu passed the ball out of the crowd and assisted his teammate to score again, getting his sixth assist. Subsequently, he broke through with the ball at the top of the arc, as if playing football, knocked two defenders into the air, and forced a layup to the opponent's center to score three points, and his personal score exceeded 40+.
But at the same time, Knox Grammar High School also continued to trail by a large score of 53-66.
No matter how much Zhang Qi scores alone, it is not as efficient as the collective performance of the five people opposite.
Now many people can see that when the game time has entered the last two minutes, it is impossible for Knox Grammar High School to stage a comeback, and high school players do not have the ability to score consecutive points in professional players, and it is no different from dreaming to catch up with the 13-point difference in less than two minutes.
Zhang Qi also knew that there was no way to return to the sky, and his attack could only help him brush up a few more points, and it was difficult to save the overall situation.
But he is also very helpless, his Yutang teammates really can't bring it up!
In the end, the 1995 Australian National High School Boys Basketball Finals reached the milestone with Zhang Fu, but Wesleyan School defeated Knox Grammar High School 72-64 to win the Australian National Championship for the third consecutive year.
However, when the game was over, the most high-profile player in the game was Zhang Mao, who lost.
His amazing stats of 45 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists, 7 steals and 8 blocks set a new record for the highest stats in the Australian high school basketball finals, and no one has ever scored such amazing statistics as 45+20+7+7+8 in the national finals.
Tonight, Knox Grammar High School lost the game, but Zhang was the biggest winner.
