Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 965 [All-stars can’t beat civilians]

Wade and Wang Jun were severely guarded against each other. After the pick-and-roll, Aminu changed positions. Wang Jun pursued the defense and formed a double-team, leaving Evans open. The "rebound maniac" doesn't have to worry about the mid-range and long-range at all.

Evans is different from other blue-collar insiders. He is only 203cm tall. He is not a threat from the outside, nor is he a threat when cutting to the basket. The Kings can guard him as soon as the King's formation shrinks. Aminu and Covington are both taller than him.

Wade couldn't break through, the ball couldn't be distributed, and several players on the outside were followed. Pierce could only challenge Covington one-on-one, relying on technical skills, and the efficiency was not high under the interference of the opponent's long arms.

The reason why Pierce is willing to renew his contract with the Nets at a minimum salary is because he knows that he no longer has star power, and he can only be responsible for the best player on the defensive end.

The Kings attacked, and as soon as Wang Jun hit the pick-and-roll, Bogdanovic and Evans cried. Wade did not dare to chase, and Patterson waited for the return ball outside the three-point line. Aminu moved on the baseline and cut back and forth. Facing Bordanovic, he had a physical advantage.

Wang Jun broke through and drew fouls continuously, made accurate free throws, hit 1 of 2 three-pointers in the counterattack, and attracted defensive assists. Aminu dunked the basketball and scored. When Aminu goes on a fast break, it's completely like a guard playing power forward.

At 4 minutes, Thibodeau called a timeout again, and the point difference widened to 20 points.

The home fans couldn't accept it, thinking that the All-Star Nets still couldn't beat the Kings' civilian lineup.

China Tencent broadcast live, commentators Ke Fan and Yang Yi chatted about the game and were very relaxed.

Yang Yi commented: "The biggest suspense today is not who can win. The King will definitely win. I just don't know how many points he will win, how many points Wang Jun can score, and whether he can break the scoring record in the finals."

Kefan smiled and said: "In the past, when partnering with James, he had to consider James's feelings and give out the ball. Most of the time, James would break through and Wang Jun would run from the outside and shoot three-pointers. Now that James has returned to the Cavaliers, Wang Jun has completely let go. ”

Yang Yi sighed: "If Wade had known that the King was so strong, he might have considered defecting to Wang Jun in the summer, even if he was a substitute. Then there would be nothing wrong with Courtney Lee."

The timeout ended, Paul and Randolph returned to the court, but Wang Jun still hadn't rested.

Soon, something that upset Thibodeau and all those who supported the Nets happened, and Wang Jun went to guard Paul. One-on-one, Paul couldn't get past him.

It is undeniable that Paul's personal ability is very strong. He is superior in pull-up jumpers, floaters, three-pointers, breakthroughs, assists, key goals, and especially in controlling the team's rhythm.

But as a point guard,

Organization is the top priority. Paul often feels like he is holding back and pursuing rationality too much. It was obviously unreasonable to challenge Wang Jun alone, so he had to find a cover to escape.

Paul hit Aminu out of position and performed well with a 50% shooting rate. Unfortunately, the missed goal was immediately counterattacked by Wang Jun, which turned into a 100% hit. The Nets could not prevent the mismatch inside.

Paul's scoring ability is excellent, but it is not up to the level of Kobe, James, Durant, let alone Wang Jun.

After Carroll came on the scene, Wang Jun played as a point guard and passed the ball during the counterattack. Carroll beat Paul and caused a foul. Paul will definitely not be able to guard against Wang Jun, and his body will suffer completely when guarding 203CM Carroll.

No matter how good his defensive awareness is, he can't stand his height of 183cm.

Wang Jun played the entire quarter and scored another 19 points. He had 44 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the half, leading the team to a 74-51 lead.

Nets fans shouted loudly to cheer for the home team, but it was of no use. The Nets tried double-teaming and zone defense. Wang Jun broke through and scored, and his teammates were able to score.

If it weren't for Courtney Lee and Covington missing open three-pointers, the Kings would have scored 80 points in the half.

Most of the Nets fans are from Brooklyn, not the group from New Jersey, so the boos to Wang Jun are not too loud.

Barkley gloated: "The Nets have a sinner, and that is Bruce Ratner. If he hadn't traded Wang Jun for Ben Gordon and draft picks, the Nets might have become an unimaginable giant."

O'Neal said with a smile: "In that case, it will be difficult for the Russians to buy the Nets. The Nets will still be a stingy team that makes random transactions. People like Ratner are not suitable for basketball. Once he sells the team He immediately rose up."

Barkley said: "It is said that he still had some shares in the team at that time and was a small shareholder. He strongly suggested that the team trade with the Jazz in mid-2010 in exchange for Deron Williams. Probably the management felt that this person was out of his mind. Well, I didn't listen to him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. The Nets will definitely not make it to the Finals, and they will bear the pain of the Knicks."

One thought made Paul successful and changed the team.

At that time, Deron's evaluation was not much lower than Paul's, but with potential injuries, Deron was still a thorn in the side of conflicts with his coach. Ironically, without coach Sloan and the Jazz's pick-and-roll offensive system, Deron is just an ordinary defender.

Paul proved himself, but he just couldn't get past the last hurdle. Wang Jun is an insurmountable wall for him.

In the second half, Joe Johnson rested, Pierce came on as a three-point shooting point, and the others were the starters in the opening game.

The Kings also made adjustments. Whiteside and Gobert formed a twin tower, with Wang Jun, Kooteney Lee and Curry on the outside.

Nets fans all saw something was wrong. Wang Jun's goal was not just to lead the team to win, he also wanted to score high points.

It is not part of the plan to defend Wade and not score. The core of the Nets is not Wade, but Paul.

Therefore, Kidd also changed his defensive strategy to a 122 zone defense, with Wang Jun on the outside and the others shrinking their formation to prevent breakthroughs but not shots. This is exactly what Thibodeau's tactics are.

The Nets let Wade play to stabilize the defense and prevent Wang Jun from doing whatever he wanted, but at the three-point mark, Pierce and Paul were the only ones on the court.

Wade was left open on the outside several times and couldn't help but pull up two three-pointers. With slight interference from Courtney Lee, both missed the basket.

At this moment, Wade seemed to feel empty-hearted and began to doubt himself.

Maybe he is the reason why the Heat can't win the championship? Because he is often shorted on the outside.

This is why the Heat are unwilling to renew his contract because he cannot lead the team to win.

In 2012, he couldn't even defeat himself and couldn't practice long-range shooting. How could he defeat Wang Jun?

At this moment, he no longer saw himself as a superstar and had no ambition at all.

Once the shot failed, Wang Jun immediately counterattacked, just like he did against the Warriors in the last round of the series, his movements were not fancy at all, and he changed direction and shot a pull-up jumper. In the past, the Suns' running and gun counterattack was a five-second counterattack, but Wang Jun wanted to throw the ball out in three seconds when he counterattacked. He only needed a little space to shoot.

Wang Jun made five three-pointers in a row and scored four goals.

Double-teamed by Pierce and Wade, after he forced a hit from one meter outside the left three-point line, Van Gundy shouted: "Wang Jun's current style of play is like the Tracy McGrady moment back then. He seems to regard the Kings as the lagging side. Create opportunities to shoot as quickly as possible, but the Kings are clearly ahead by 30 points, I don't know how to describe his choice."

McBrin sighed: "Today he will definitely break the scoring record in the finals. If he doesn't rest in the final quarter, he will score more than 70 points. The Nets will have nothing to do with him."

Van Gundy smiled and said: "He kept running in the position battle, and his physical strength was amazing. Now it feels like he has just started."

Russian boss Prokhorov was preparing to apply to the league. After the game, Wang Jun was asked to take a blood test and urine test, suspecting that he had used doping.

In Russia, big-name athletes all use doping drugs and cannot join the national team without taking drugs. He feels that the NBA is not clean either.

The course of this game completely deviated from what experts predicted.
