Chapter 465 [Overwhelm Adames, Cut 50+ Again]
It is rare to be favored by experts, and Wang Jun is in a better mood. It was too enjoyable to beat the Timberwolves before, and he was a little depressed.
It's not good to score when playing a strong team and being caught in a box, and when a weak team is out of other positions, he can't help but pass the ball as soon as his teammates shout, how can he win Kobe?
The Lakers just lost to the Trail Blazers, who are the bottom of the West, and Bryant scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 10-of-27 shooting, 0-of-6 three-pointers and 15-of-15 free throws.
In this game, Kobe Bryant has already shown his determination, no matter how bad his hand is, he has to shoot, no matter how many shots he misses, he has to get enough average scores, and he is desperate for the scoring king.
There are scoring champions every year, and the gold content is different.
In the history of the NBA, there are only a few people who have played an average of 35+ per game in a single season, such as Jordan, Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Rick Barry. Abdul-Jabbar, who occupies the top of the total scoring list, has not averaged 35+ points per game, with a peak of 34.8 points.
The last time someone scored a 35+ was back in 1988, when Jordan put up a horrific 35 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks, and did it all, averaging 24.4 shots per game while shooting 53.5% from the field.
Therefore, averaging 35 points per game has a special attraction for players, and if they do it, they will become legends on a par with celebrities.
Kobe Bryant wants to average 35+ per game, and Wang Jun also thinks that they are not just competing for the scoring title.
After Theron finished the immortality method, Wang Jun handed her a towel. "Charlie, it's hard for me to compete for the scoring title if I don't shoot too much, but the coach may not want to play randomly, and my teammates will also have opinions, how do you think I should do well?"
Theron wiped his sweat. Smiled: "It's very simple, you communicate with the head coach." Tell us what you think. It's good for the team that you win the scoring title, and the 35 points per game is what Jordan did. The gimmick is very good, it will attract more Bulls fans, you can attack in the regular season, and change the correct way of playing in the knockout game? Anyway, you know that it's not right to fight like this, it's not unreasonable. ”
Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "You're right, communicating with the coach is the most direct method, I've been training lately, I'm almost stupid, and I'm always thinking about how to play for a while......"
As long as Skyles can support Wang Jun. There is no problem, and other people can't raise their opinions.
During training the next day, Wang Jun chatted with Skels and talked about the prepared rhetoric.
Skyles immediately decided to meet Wang Jun's request, and then arranged for the inside double screen and two pitchers to be by his side, allowing him to score as much as he wanted.
Wang Jun didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and said curiously: "Coach, you agree so easily, don't worry about me playing like this." Is the team's record slipping? ”
"Just because I'm not afraid of a decline in the record, unless I play a long winning streak and surpass the Pistons, it won't have any impact on picking opponents." Skyles smiled wryly.
"Why? Aren't we second in the East? ”
"You're in your third year in the league. Still haven't figured out the NBA format? Skyles frowned and explained a few words to Wang Jun.
The East-West regular season record isn't just about wins, and the three divisional champions have an advantage. The top three will be automatically locked.
Wang Jun knows this rule, but his mind is on the court. Ignore that both the Bulls and Pistons are in the mid-zone.
As long as the Bulls fail to surpass the Pistons in terms of record, even if they are just one win away. It also has to be ranked fourth in the East, so as to meet the strong fifth place in the East.
This format is very unfair, the Atlantic region where the Nets are currently composed of five bad teams, except for the Nets team is in the playoffs, playing four games a season to make the playoffs is a lot easier, and finally can mix the top three.
And if the Bulls go to the fourth, the fifth-place team will be miserable, and they will actually be in second place in the East. Even if you get lucky, you have to challenge the first place in the East in the second round.
Now, the flawed game is the reason why the coaching staff is willing to let Wang Jun brush up points.
On March 2, the Bulls lost to the Clippers at home.
The Clippers traded Wilcox for big man Radmanovic from the SuperSonics in a mid-term trade, and the team's lineup is more reasonable.
With an inside line, the Clippers can spare no effort to reuse Carman. The starters Rand and Cassel can be responsible for the attack, Radmanovic and Mobleyla, and the substitutes Margeti and Livingston are also good.
The Clippers will definitely make the playoffs, and this game will blossom with five players scoring in double figures.
Wang Jun had 37 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and the unlucky ones were Kaman and Radmanovic, who misplaced them several times to score.
With a day off, the Bulls will play the Cavaliers at home.
Theron went back to Los Angeles early, not just to hide from Abby, but to attend the Oscars on March 6.
Although she didn't pick up a new film, "Never Give In" had an excellent reputation after its release, and she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress again.
Unfortunately, Wang Jun couldn't attend with her, even if there was no match that day.
Both sides are very serious about this match, and it is possible that the two teams will face each other in the first round. The Cavaliers had a poor second half of the season, losing a lot of games, and the Pacers also slipped without O'Neal Jr. It was as if the two teams were battling for sixth place and fighting for the Nets.
Wang Jun was very positive at the beginning, relying on double cover to shoot continuously from the perimeter, shooting 5-of-11, 2-of-6 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, scoring 14 points.
James scored eight points and shot 4-of-6.
In the second quarter, Lore Deng defended James, and the "little emperor" began to transform into a blacksmith, and repeatedly missed shots under interference. James is afraid of encountering defenders who are tall and have long arms and are not afraid of confrontation.
In this section, Wang Jun broke up the 193CM Ronald? Murray, who scored 15 points in eight minutes, scored another three-pointer, and also made a lot of kills, hitting all six free throws.
The Cavaliers have weaknesses, Ilgoskas moves slowly, and once James misses a shot, Wang Jun's counterattack is misplaced, and neither Murray nor Snow can carry him.
The Cavaliers' bench is also not good enough and their scoring ability is poor.
Damon, a point guard signed on a long-term contract in the summer? Jones could only be used as a substitute, and the Cavaliers lost a lot. Head coach Mike? Brown is a coach who takes defense seriously, and he would rather start with the veteran Snow than Jones.
In the third quarter, Wang Jun continued to exert his power, running to catch the ball, holding the ball and stepping back to shoot, shooting five three-pointers. "Big Z" and Vallejo were tired of blocking and dismantling, and he shot when he had a chance, which was quite unreasonable.
Big centers are most afraid of players like Wang Jun, the guards can block when they break into the basket, and they can only prevent the outside shots, and they have a lot of space for the ball, and they are likely to be passed.
James defended Wang Jun for a few rounds and was relatively successful, and Lore Deng missed two empty shots from the outside.
Skells immediately replaced Lore Deng for Nocioni, and both Argentines and Hinrich hit three-pointers to break through the Cavaliers' defense.
Wang Jun scored 19 points in a single quarter, 47 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the third quarter, and the Bulls led 84-67.
Wang Jun took a break in the final quarter, and the Cavaliers failed to recover the score. "Big Z" was defended to death by Chandler, and James singled out Lore Deng, and the shooting percentage was also very low.
Wang Jun returned to the court after a five-minute break, and once he broke through to the basket in the counterattack, and once put Alan ? Henderson shook up a foul and hit both free throws to widen the margin to 26 points and seal the win.
James had 30 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and performed well, but was completely overwhelmed by Wang Jun.
Wang Jun scored 51 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and scored 50+ again!
