Speaking of the masters of NBA, who do you think they are? Is it the Rick Mahon of the Bad Boys in the 1990s, or the Rodman and Carl Malone who played from the court to the ring. It is still Artest (or world peace) in Auburn Hills Palace event , or Wu Saint Artest. Everyone has their own answer, but in my heart, james johnson definitely ranks first.
The American media once did such a survey, in this league, who do you want to fight with? James Johnson topped the list with 43.8% of the votes, far higher than the second-placed Adams, but it just so happened that the two are currently on the same team, which can also be said to be the Pelicans. Law enforcement left and right.
However, Zhan Yue's record is real, with a fighting record of 20 wins and 0 losses, and a MMA record of 7 wins and 0 losses. That's probably why the players rated him first. At the same time he also has a nickname - bloody sports, of course, this is also related to his record.
There are rumors that Paul once invited James Johnson to his house as a guest. During this period, Paul did not believe that James was as good as the rumors, so he asked him can you kick me in the nose? Little did he know that before he finished speaking, Zhan Yue's toes came to him, and Paul was completely "beaten".
Student period
James-Johnson Born in 1987 in Wyoming, USA, into a martial arts family, after his father Willie Johnson retired from the Marine Corps, he began to specialize in karate, winning ten national championships, and five World champion.And her mother VI, this mother is also very strong, she has won the championship of the national women's karate competition many times. At the same time, her experience is even more legendary. This woman from Samoa took to the streets in junior high school. Joined a gang and fought around. She has this to say about her own experience: "I've been on the streets since I was a teenager fighting thugs, and to be honest, I beat more men than women."
Born into such a family, James Johnson Parents naturally want their children to inherit their careers, but Johnson prefers basketball . Finally, after winning another state championship, his parents finally allowed him to play the basketball he loved.
After entering East Cheyenne High School, James Johnson finally broke out in his sophomore season, averaging 28 points and 9 rebounds per game. In the senior season of high school, he was finally rated as a 4-star high school student by the well-known website Rivals, ranking 62nd in the United States and 16th in the small forward position. Finally accepted an offer from Wake Forest University and became Paul and Duncan 's apprentice. The
07-08 season was Zhan Yue's first college season, but he showed maturity that did not match his age. In his first season in college, he averaged 14+8 per game, and was successfully selected for the third team and the best performance in the ACC league. Best rookie lineup. After playing steadily in his sophomore season, James Johnson officially announced that he would participate in the 2009 NBA draft.

advantages in the scouting report as follows: As a striker, he has superb skills, excellent physical fitness, excellent static physical conditions, 201 in height and 216 in wingspan.

Career start
The 2009 draft was held at Madison Square in New York on June 25, James Johnson was the 16th pick by the Bulls Selected, but the Bulls at that time basically did not have his place. After 7 games with the Celtics, this team led by Rose became the upstart of the league, and Zhan was in the Bulls for two years. , He also played a lot of games in the G League during this period, but he was not as lucky as Butler . In 2011, he was traded to the Raptors in 2011. A first-round pick.
Just over a year later, he was traded to the Kings for a second-round pick, and then started wandering around, even signing for a G League opportunity. However, the Grizzlies, who are good at "Taobao", gave him a second chance. Through his good performance in the playoffs, he returned to the Raptors and reached a multi-year contract.
html Signed with the Heat in the summer of 016, where he played the best season of his career, averaging 12.8 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and a comprehensive performance of 1 block and 1 steal. With his help, the Heat had a terrific second half of that year, going 30-11 with a 13-game winning streak. His performance was also appreciated by Riley , and a 4-year, 60 million contract was offered during the offseason.
But as mentioned in the scouting report, his attitude is a very big problem, after signing a big contract, his performance slowly began to decline, and there were problems with physical management. So much so that the Heat suspended him and then traded him out of the team. In just one year, he has changed 4 teams.
Personal evaluation
James Johnson's talent is unquestionable, both on the court and in the ring. But poor professionalism kept him from going further. Even for his figure, the Heat has a $242,000 bonus in the contract that is related to weight and body fat percentage. Johnson has met the requirements and received the bonus in the past two seasons. However, in the 2019 season, when the Heat's training camp was assembled, the Heat found that Johnson's physical condition did not meet the standard that the Heat wanted him to achieve. As punishment, he was expelled from the training camp, and he naturally chased after the season. He should have completed it before the season. work.
And back to the court performance, the focused Zhan Yue is indeed very suitable for this era. He is 2 meters tall and can play in multiple positions. This is the type that every team needs. Since he came to the Pelicans, he has performed well in several games. Not only can he output effectively on the offensive end, but at the same time, he can use his size to create a certain amount of pressure on defenders. But James - Johnson is like a "stealth bomb", you don't know when he will "explode".
This summer, his long-term contract will eventually expire, can he stay in the NBA? No one is sure, after all, he is also a nearly 34-year-old veteran.
