A compilation of six of the NBA's greatest point guards!

Chapter 13 Post-match impact: Increased fame!

Does positioning it as a 3D model have a significant impact on Zeng Zhen?

Actually, it's not a big deal, because he cares more about playing time. As long as he can get on the court, he's fine playing center.

Of course, it's useless to talk about having great ball-handling skills; you still have to show it on the court.

Now, not only scouts think he's a shooter, but Coach Ben Holland and everyone at UCLA agree that Zeng Zhen is the kind of shooter who's been put in the wrong position.

They believe that having Zeng Zhen play point guard in the past was simply making things difficult for him, as his true talent lies in playing the shooter position.

If you put him in the marksman position, he has unlimited potential!

Even though Zeng Zhen showed good ball-handling skills in training, it was largely ignored, as everyone was captivated by his 7-for-7 shooting from three-point range.

"Zeng, the less you dribble, the better. Your job is to catch and shoot. Stop doing your ball-handling drills for now and focus on shooting and defense. Play the same way in the next game." Ben Holland told Zeng Zhen this the next morning when he was giving him tactical instructions for the Round of 16.

"All right."

Zeng Zhen nodded, saying he was willing to play center as long as he could get playing time.

The Bruins will still face their Sweet Sixteen opponent, Kansas State University, at the Honda Center.

Kansas State University's star player is freshman forward Michael Beasley, who became the nation's best freshman with a dominant performance of 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per game, recording 28 double-doubles in the season. He is one of the best freshmen in the NCAA in the last 20 years.

Another freshman, Jacob Prun, played point guard, demonstrating solid playmaking and outside shooting ability, while forward Bill Walker was a highly impactful scorer.

At Kansas State University, Beasley is a top-three first-round pick, while Bill Walker is currently projected to be a second-round pick.

"They focus heavily on half-court offense, relying on their inside players to draw double teams and then pass the ball, but their outside shooting ability is average. This is our opportunity. Our outside players need to occasionally get inside to double-team."

"Also, Kevin, you need to be careful with rebounding. They are very good at offensive rebounding. Both Michael Beasley and Bill Walker have excellent physical attributes. Russell and Darren, you need to watch out for their perimeter pressure. They emphasize physical confrontation and suffocating defense. They average 7.5 steals per game."

"Finally, on offense, if we can't break through or score inside, then we can look for our super shooter..."

Ben Holland looked at Zeng Zhen and smiled.

"Hahaha!!"

Zeng Zhen has become one of the team's key players, and his shooting in the last game earned everyone's trust.

After gaining fame in the NCAA Final 32, Zeng Zhen could clearly feel the increase in his popularity.

After the tactical arrangements were finalized, Zeng Zhen, Westbrook, and Love went out for dinner and encountered many fans asking for photos and autographs.

Previously, this spotlight belonged to Westbrook and Love, and almost no one paid attention to him.

Now it's completely different; at least fans will ask him for a photo.

Zeng Zhen was even more popular with women than Westbrook and Love, with some women even coming over with phone numbers printed with red lipstick marks.

Some of the slips of paper, in addition to phone numbers, also included detailed information such as bust, waist, hip measurements, and height.

Zeng Zhen finally understood why most NBA players are like stallions; after they become rich and famous, they are surrounded by many women, and it is difficult for them to resist these external temptations.

Porter Jr.'s remarks on the show were very frank: "My weakness and Achilles' heel is women. Whenever I stray from God, from the Bible, and stop praying, the devil attacks my most vulnerable spot, which is full of women."

One of the girls, a blonde with blue eyes who looked like a mini version of Kim Kardashian, was very enthusiastic towards Zeng Zhen; her chest would shake when she laughed.

Zeng Zhen put away the note with her phone number.

"Zeng, you shouldn't mess with these women. You need to find a decent girl to date." Westbrook saw this and didn't want Zeng Zhen to get into trouble.

"Don't worry, I won't water the flowers so easily," Zeng Zhen said with a smile. "I'd have to find a beauty pageant winner-level girl, right, Kevin?"

He was excited when that beautiful woman was near him, but he didn't feel anything when she was a little further away.

"Hehehe." Love smiled without saying a word.

Love is also a handsome guy and usually has a good relationship with women, but he has a similar personality to Westbrook and is very loyal. He is currently pursuing a model.

To be honest, when the three of them sat together, Zeng Zhen and Love were both good-looking, but Westbrook looked like he had just come out of the sewers.

However, Westbrook never cared about being handsome. He believed that the most important thing for a man was to be fierce, tough, and manly!

"Well, it's up to you. If you want to get into the NBA, you need to put your time and energy into the court." Westbrook looked at Zeng Zhen seriously and said, "If you can maintain this form, you have a very high chance of being selected in the second round."

Westbrook's meaning is very clear: if the second-best player is exhausted to the point of collapse, the eldest will definitely be exhausted to the point of collapse as well, making it even more difficult for them to enter the NBA.

"Does being this strong all the time give you a chance to be selected in the second round?" Zeng Zhen asked, as Westbrook and Love knew far more about the draft than he did.

"Making more three-pointers in the knockout stage will improve your reputation to some extent, but not by much. A single game outburst isn't enough to boost your performance," Love analyzed calmly.

"The NCAA has no shortage of guys who score high but end up mediocre in the NBA, so scouts' judgments may lean more towards physical talent; they don't prioritize statistics," Westbrook said.

Westbrook feels this very deeply. Compared to Collison, his average points and shooting are not as good as Collison's, but in the eyes of scouts, Collison is a second-round pick, while he is definitely a lottery pick.

This is due to absolute talent, which is why Westbrook believes that in the NBA scouting system, talent is valued more than skills.

No matter how much the talent of Asians is touted as formidable, scouts won't find it explosive, since there's no precedent for outstandingly talented guards from Asia in the NBA.

"What if I score 50+ points in a single game?" Zeng Zhen asked.

"Then you'll definitely make it to the first round," Westbrook affirmed.

"Haha, your idea is crazy, but it's hard to do. I won't give you that many shot opportunities," Love said with a laugh. "Also, don't take unreasonable shots on the court just to pad your score; that will only lower your rating."

"OK!" Zeng Zhen shrugged. "I'll try to get points in a reasonable way..."
