Super Lord of the Rings

The Big Ten finals are as brutal as the NCAA Tournament. As the regular season champion, the Wolverines benefit from playing at home.

The finals attracted the media, and both Michigan Sports and Illinois Sports will broadcast live. The player's "stage" becomes bigger and bigger.

The Chrysler Center Arena, which can accommodate 9,300 people, was packed. Not only Wolverine fans, but also some Illinois fans attended the game.

The Wolverines and Illinois are well-known rivals throughout the United States. In all NCAA competitions, the two schools are competing fiercely.

Before the game, Michigan Sports broadcaster Simon Dulles chatted about gossip.

"Wolverine coach David Hornacek's hometown is Elmhurst, Illinois. When he was young, he played for the University of Illinois. Now he will lead the Wolverines to beat the hometown team."

Another commentator, Justin Baldwin, said with a smile: "The atmosphere at the scene was very warm. We saw many fans holding banners to support their favorite players. Chinese player Wang Jun is very popular in the local area."

Simon said: "It's all because of that 61-point game. I think Kaman is the core of the Wolverines. Without him to attract defense, outside players will not get so many opportunities. His dominance this season makes Surprising. And Wang is too dependent on shooting in the game, and his role is relatively simple."

Simon's commentary was somewhat biased, and he was unwilling to admit that Wang Jun was key to the Wolverines. Although Wang Jun did not successfully dunk in the game and made few breakthroughs, it is an important part of the team's offensive system.

The record can explain everything. With the same lineup, the Wolverines were still an underdog last season, but this year they became the top ten in the Big Ten. Could it be that such a big improvement depends on the collective progress of senior players?

The fans in the stands were divided into several factions, with Kaman and Wang Jun being the most supportive.

Chinese fans pulled up the banner of "Wang Jun MVP" in the auditorium. Wang Jun did not have much contact with Chinese and Chinese students, but they all regarded Wang Jun as the representative of Chinese in Michigan.

Illinois fans display banners to support Cook the most. As Mr. Illinois Basketball, he is an alternative insider with a soft style of play but a strong scoring ability.

Rookie Deron Williams also has many fans, he is one of the super rookies emerging this year.

When the players came out, Wang Jun received warm applause. Simon pretended not to see it and talked about Kaman and Cook.

"As long as he keeps his form, Kaman is likely to be selected in the top ten, or even the top five. Cook is regarded as an insider like Robert Horry. He is good at shooting and may enter the lottery. The first round is definitely not a problem. , Many teams need this kind of big man who can stretch the floor, he just needs to adapt to the rhythm of the game and improve his defense."

Justin asked: "What do you think Wang Jun will be in the draft? It is reported that he plans to join the NBA this summer."

Simon was a little disdainful. "Can be selected, but it's hard to get into the first round. He's not fast, 195cm tall is awkward as a swingman, he must have better skills to get a chance in individual offense. He can't handle the ball, there won't be much Teams are interested in him, and his defense may not be able to adapt to the NBA level game."

Justin nodded. "It is true that if he wants to perform in the NBA, he needs to be thinner. Just looking at his body shape, he feels that the fat content is very high."

According to the general perception of NBA scouts and coaches, the fat content of a player should not exceed 8%, which is obviously exceeded by Wang Jun.

After the warm-up, the head coaches of both sides used the last time to emphasize tactics.

Bill Self arranged to say, "Luthor, don't just wait for a chance to shoot a three-pointer today. If they let Wang Jun guard the inside, you are facing their power forward or small forward. No matter who guards you, you are misplaced." Deron can also be singled out, their point guard is nothing special.

"

In two games of the regular season, both of the Wolverines' point guards were blown up by Deron Williams.

He is a point guard with a peculiar shape, with a height of 191cm and a weight of 95kg, which is stronger than many small forwards. He can use his body to overwhelm shorter players, and he can also dribble and divert past players who are taller than him.

Because of his strong confrontation ability, Deron has vaguely become the core of the team's outside line only in the first year. Some people think that his template is Baron Davis who became a star.

David focused on arranging the defense against Deron, allowing Gordon to return to the starting lineup, and Luke 178CM can only be forced to eat.

He encouraged and said: "Gordon, you didn't shoot badly during training. After playing, you must calm down and play to a normal level. You don't need to take on too many tasks in offense today. Find a way to entangle Deron and don't let him relax. Break through. Give the offense to Wang or Mike after halftime, and make a bold shot when there is an open space, understand?"

"Understood."

"Wang, you have to pay attention to changing the pick-and-roll today. Cook will definitely pull to the outside. You are faster than Chris, and you should go out to interfere with outside shots. Especially Hyde must not let go. Everyone pays attention to this."

David went on to say: "Pick-and-roll offense, Chris cuts to the basket. If Hyde is the main defense king, Wang can go to the low post to ask for the ball to play singles. I believe you can single out Hyde. If you attract the help defense, pass to the center. Bo Bizhan Middle Road."

Bobby's second-half percentage of high-post jump shots has improved a lot, and he practiced more during the holidays. Failed to shoot, relying on his excellent mobility, he can still break through with the ball in the middle.

Bobby has a height advantage and can also block shots. He does a good job of curbing fast breaks. Kaman can rely on his physical advantage to reach the inside line, and he may grab offensive rebounds and launch a second offense if he fails to receive a pass.

In David's tactical system, the division of labor between players is much clearer than in previous seasons.

Players from both sides stood on the court.

Hyde whispered next to Wang Jun: "Chinaman, don't think that winning two games in the regular season will win the championship. Today I will beat you again and again."

Wang Jun knew that this was Hyde, whom the coach asked to guard against. He was thinner than expected, and said with a smile, "Do you dare to guard me? Don't just talk big, let your teammates step up when defending."

"You won't be able to laugh soon." Hyde said coldly.

Wolverine starting: Gordon, Wang Jun, Harris, Bobby, Kaman.

Illinois team starting: Deron, Hyde, Roger Powell, James Augustin, Brian Cook.

The referee throws the ball and the game begins.

Kaman beat Cook with a jump ball and the Wolverines went first.

The two insiders withdrew from the basket according to the tactical arrangement, and it was indeed Hyde who defended Wang Jun.

As long as Hyde starts at the No. 2 position, the coach can only arrange it this way. He is only 191cm tall and weighs 80kg. If he goes to defend Harris, the dislocation will be even worse.

Deron didn't defend the No. 2 position because of offense. When counterattacking, Xiaopang can bully the opponent's point guard to his heart's content.

Wang Jun didn't look for cover, and went directly to the right 45 degrees to ask for the ball.

Harris dropped the ball in, Wang Jun leaned back against Hyde, and quickly turned to the baseline. His explosive power didn't increase much, but his movements were smoother than before, and he squeezed his opponent with his body.

Hyde was born with a weak body, and Wang Jun easily turned him around as soon as he hit it.

Wang Jun leaned on Hyde and jumped up with the ball in both hands.

Hyde's jumping ability is very strong. He took off with all his strength and wanted to block the block from behind. One hand unconsciously pressed on Wang Jun's shoulder.

This is what I learned from Kaman, and it can resist interference, provided that I can hold the basketball firmly with one hand.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Wang Jun forcibly shot the ball in cleanly. The opening game was 2+1!
