Chapter Sixty-Eight: Hold High and Fight

The Imperials didn't have time to taste defeat, because the next team to visit would be tough to deal with after the Braves left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They are the most consistent team in the league for two decades, having made the playoffs for 18 consecutive years, and this year is a solid entry into the playoffs.

The San Antonio Ponderers, led by two-time Defensive Player of the Year Edgar Gilmore, have won all eight of their games since the start of the season, and are on an eight-game winning streak at Saravo.

That night, Wang Weiyu vs. Edgar, the two played each other three times last season, the Imperial team won one win and two losses, and Edgar suppressed Wang Weiyu's play every time. In those games, Wang Weiyu's hit rate was only in the early thirties, which can be said to be scrapped.

And tonight, after a summer of hard training, Wang Weiyu faced Edgar again, and the decline still existed, but the efficiency was greatly improved.

He took 24 shots and scored 34 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds to help the Kings win at home against the Ponderers.

At the same time, the Imperial team's interior twin towers, Merris and Jing Qi combined to score 39 points and 32 rebounds, and were the biggest contributors to tonight's victory.

"Will the victory over Christmas Tonyo regain the team's confidence?" At the press conference, a reporter asked this question.

Carmen immediately replied, "We have always been confident. ”

After that, the Kings embarked on an away trip, the first of which was against the Detroit Blackspur. Wang Weiyu broke out in the first quarter and scored 17 points alone, helping the Imperial Team establish a ten-point lead. Since then, the margin has been maintained, and the Blackspurs have lacked momentum and eventually collapsed in the final quarter.

101-90 in the whole game, the Emperor team took away the victory and continued the journey.

In the second away, the Kings descended on the New Jersey Nets. The Nets have been the underdogs of the league for several years, and Herbert thought it was an easy game before the game, and when the game went on, he realized that he was wrong, and the New Jerseys did not want to give up the victory, and they were amazing, intent on defending their home glory.

Merris ushered in an explosion, he ravaged the Nets' basket, shooting 14-of-26 from the field, cutting 42 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, leading the Kings to a 118-112 victory over the Nets.

"Merris, how did it feel to get the highest score of your career tonight?" The journalist threw out the question.

Merris's answer was simple and crisp, "It's comfortable, it's like taking drugs, although I haven't used drugs, but this kind of performance is drugs, and I can't wait to do it again, and I'm looking forward to the next away game." ”

"Are you saying you're going to do the same next away game?" The reporter set a small trap. Merris didn't open the door, and was about to step into the trap, Wang Weiyu pulled him, "I'm sorry, Merris is going to a press conference with the coach, ask me something." ”

"OK, W, do you think Merris will replicate tonight's performance the day after tomorrow?" The journalist asked the same question.

That guy... Wang Weiyu was glad that he came early, otherwise Merris would have jumped in, "He has this ability." ”

In this way, the trap was buried by Wang Weiyu, and the reporter asked a few more questions that were not painful, Wang Weiyu's mouth was airtight, and he tried not to say sensitive words, after all, it was in the away game, and the team was not easy to deal with if there was a problem.

The next day, the Imperial Team flew to Miami on a special plane to challenge the Fire Wave Team, and Wang Weiyu and Somo met again.

After the experience of the playoffs, Somoby matured a lot last season, and his body has also gotten up a bit, and he no longer looks weak.

Wang Weiyu, Merris, and Somo, three second-graders, gave a wonderful game that night. Known as Toin Davide II, Somo was on fire that night, scoring 30 points to lead his team to victory. Not to be outdone, Wang Weiyu also scored 28 points, but unfortunately his teammates felt cold and lost in the end.

Atlanta is the last location of the Kings' Eastern Conference road trip. Several away games in a row, frequent games, the Imperial team was very tired, and in the game with the Flying Eagles, the whole team did not play well, and finally lost miserably.

With a record of two wins and two defeats, the Kings returned home.

"The boss went to check his ankle again, I hope there won't be any problems, the point guard is too short." Merris said worriedly.

Kelsen flicked his finger over his head, "And me, there's nothing to worry about." "It's because of you." Merris only said half a sentence, and if a few words came out, it felt like Kelsen was going to strangle him.

"Get out of the way, the greatest shooter in the history of the Ultimate League is going to practice." Raglan said menacingly, holding the ball. "The greatest shooter?" Kelsen asked, "That nasty guy named Moy Cook shouldn't have retired yet, I don't want to admit it, but he's the greatest shooter, right?" ”

"Hmph, that bastard is beyond the scope of a shooter." Raglan walked as he spoke.

"What is a shooter?" Raglan ran, "his heart sank like water, he walked like a fly, he walked like a ghost, he ran like a ghost, he could shoot from any angle, he could catch the ball, live up to the expectations of his teammates, just like me, shoot the basket!" ”

"Bang!" Ragren turned back without changing his face, "This is a shooter, what do you think about dribbling and shooting threes like Moy Cook?" Also dare to be called a shooter? ”

Such a powerful rhetoric, it makes people speechless, dare to ask if you are praising or scolding him, please make it clear!

"Ah Qi, leave those guys alone, do your best." Wang Weiyu stood beside Jing Qi and gave him a separate special training.

Jing Qi has performed very well, currently averaging 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, but the turnover is as high as 2.5.

According to the statistics of the Imperial team, 40% of his mistakes came from mistakes in the attack, and they were picked up and passed wrongly, among which there was no bag, and no team had taken a bag against Jing Qi.

Wang Weiyu observed for a while and found out that Jing Qi's problem was, he played like a defender.

Wouldn't it be cool if a center could attack like a defender? It's really cool, dribbling behind the back, and finally a low hand layup, which is very cool.

But for a 2.18m center, this kind of attack is wrong, even if it is a basket attack, it should be held high, not ****** all day with low hands to show off the feeling of layups.

Jing Qi is a defender's technical system, whether offensive or defensive, more than a dozen games have exposed a lot of problems, and the Imperial team is also solving them one by one.

"Don't forget what the coach told you, you now have nine shots per game, and you can dunk one more dunk with a low-handed layup, understand?" Wang Weiyu said: "You must change these habits. ”

"I try." Jing Qi looked aggrieved.

"Didn't try not to try not to try as much as possible, you have to change, and you're not a guard, playing low-handed layups all day long?" Wang Weiyu snorted.

Jing Qi didn't mention how aggrieved he was, thinking that when he was in China, as soon as he dribbled behind his back, he ended the offense with a low-handed layup, whether it was fans or the media, they praised him for his good basic skills, but when he arrived in the evil United States, it was actually a bad problem?

"Don't be unconvinced, if you are told to change, the uniform team will not harm you." Wang Weiyu picked up the ball and demonstrated the big man's high-lifting and high-hitting action again, "You should really watch Duncan's game more." "You do it a few more times, I don't see it clearly...."

"It's a nuisance... Look closely..."
