Chapter 411 [The goal of each season is to win the championship]
Next, the Spurs defense did not leave Wang Jun an inch.
Lore Deng stepped up again, hit Horry with the ball, and Hinrich finally made a three-pointer from the perimeter, making 1 of 4 three-pointers in the game.
This goal sealed the victory, the Spurs replaced all the main players two minutes early and gave up the game, Wang Jun was also replaced, and the game entered garbage time.
At 103-91, the Bulls held the advantage until the end.
Wang Jun made 15 of 23 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws, scoring 42 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
Lore Deng shot 7-of-14 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line in 36 minutes, and also finished with 19 points, five rebounds and two assists.
Hinrich had 11 points and 12 assists, while Nocioni also had 12 points.
The best performance for the Spurs was Duncan with 24 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks, and Parker scored 22 points and 9 assists.
Commenting on the match, Popovich said: "The opponent played with more passion than we did, and our defence went wrong. The Bulls are very strong, and I don't think they're going to be just going to make the playoffs or the first round of the playoffs this season. ”
The reporter asked: "Wang Jun scored a lot of points today, is it a mistake in defensive strategy?" ”
"No, I think he's already a scorer at the level of Kobe, Maddy, and Pierce, and it's hard to guard one-on-one. He's better than last season, and if you watch the game, you can see that he doesn't just shoot the basketball. ”
Skyles was in a good mood and spared no effort to praise Wang Jun. "I'm glad that Wang Jun is finally back to normal, as long as he controls his diet, I think he can help the team win. He's too comprehensive. ”
The reporter asked: "Do you think Wang Jun is the first core of the team?" ”
Skyles laughed: "Of course, he's the heart of the Bulls. The players also acknowledged it, his shooting ability. The skills of holding the ball are higher than others. ”
"I think he's a terrible guy, every time I play against him, I feel like he's stronger than the last one, and I'm glad we're teammates now, so I don't have to worry about him anymore," he said. ”
"He's a challenger and he's going to go heads-up with all the outside linemen and work on his skills in team training, and I've learned a lot from him," Lore Deng said. ”
Wang Jun said that tonight's star, reporters took turns to ask questions.
"Do you still have the confidence to compete for the top spot? Today you cut a high score. ”
"Of course. I promise it won't happen again from the first two games. Wang Jun smiled.
The reporter asked: "I heard that you had food poisoning before." Can you tell us what happened? ”
Wang Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm very depressed when this happened, and I really don't want to mention it again." ”
After this game, the media that said that Wang Jun was not good all stopped. The offensive skills he showed were amazing, and besides, he could only shoot the basketball, and he was just a system player, and he would be ridiculed by the fans.
In other games that day, Bryant had 37 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and James had 36 points and 6 assists. Iverson had 29 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals.
The stars have all played beautiful statistics and stole a lot of limelight from Wang Jun, and the news didn't mention him too much.
Even so, ABC Radio's Philip was dumbfounded. The radio told him. In the future, you don't have to worry about Wang Jun's games, you can be a reporter for his tennis team with peace of mind, and you won't need him to write Wang Jun's news in the future.
Nets owner Bruce. prayed that Wang Jun would not fight so well in the future.
Although the current Nets Trident is playing well, with three wins and one loss. The most recent game was a win over the Heat, who were out of O'Neal. But Bruce still wants the players his team sends away are scraps, not stars.
A day later. The Bulls defeated the Warriors at home, and Wang Jun scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
The stats are mediocre, but it's not the opposition players who prevent him from getting high scores, it's garbage time. Wang Jun played only 31 minutes, shooting 10-of-16, 3-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.
Hinrich finished with 23 points and six assists on 8-of-12 shooting, 3-of-3 three-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws.
Ocera, who came off the bench, also had 18 points and seven rebounds.
The two led the team to a large lead at halftime and clocked out in the third quarter.
Wang Jun can not only score, but also put the "dunk king" Jason? Richardson was killed. Richardson shot 6-of-19 from the field, 1-of-5 from three-point range, and only scored 15 points and 5 rebounds, failing to break through Wang Jun once.
Richardson relies too much on running without the ball, has poor offensive ability with the ball, rough technique, and inconsistent mid-range shooting, mainly relying on fast breaks and three-point shooting.
The media's evaluation of Wang Jun is very suitable for Richardson, the two are in position, and they are obviously not a player of the same grade.
Interviewed by reporters after the game. "I think the players have adjusted, and the Bulls will definitely be able to guarantee the winning percentage and play better and better," Skels said. We are strong. ”
The reporter asked: "What is the goal of the Bulls for the new season?" ”
Skeles replied: "It's just the playoffs for the time being, but we're going to try to go further. ”
The head coach is very low-key and does not dare to say big things. He believes that the Bulls' roster is not good enough, at least compared to other strong teams in the East and West.
Asking Wang Jun the same question, it's not so low-key.
"What are your goals for the new season?
Wang Jun smiled: "Although it is too early to say this, some people will say that they are arrogant, but my goal every season is to win the championship." ”
Do you know that arrogance still says? Reporters took pictures.
Wang Jun added: "I think players should always compete for the first place when they play, no matter which team they are in. I don't like to settle, last season was a complete failure for me, nothing to gain. ”
The next day, the news media seized on Wang Jun's handle again.
"After four games, Wang Jun's goal for the new season is to win the championship, and he is full of confidence."
"Wang Jun was dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates in the Nets, calling last season a complete failure."
Skels was helpless after seeing the news, he could understand the mood of the tennis coaching staff, and he had to remind Wang Jun not to talk nonsense before the press conference.
It's not a good thing for players to have no confidence and a headache for coaches, and overconfidence.
Skyles also thought of a question, there are no veterans in the Bulls locker room who can hold their back, if Wang Jun is also a leader in the locker room, these young people will not all become crazy in the future, right?
The Bulls were given two days to recuperate, and after thinking about it, Skeys went to the office to talk to general manager Paxson.
"Scott, what's the matter?"
Skals said seriously: "I want the team to make two deals. ”
"Is it to strengthen the No. 4 position? You know what's going on in the team right now, it's hard to bring in stars. Paxson smiled.
Where the flaws in the Bulls' lineup are, many people can see at a glance. There is only one all-star Wang Jun, and the offense and defense of the No. 4 position are not strong enough, which is the reason why experts are not optimistic about them.
Nowadays, interior stars are too valuable, and if they want to exchange for one, the Bulls will definitely have to "bleed heavily", and use potential players like Lore Deng and Hinrich as bargaining chips.
Skells didn't want to get the star in exchange, explaining: "No, I just want to make two small trades that cost almost nothing and make a little bit of money. As long as the No. 4 position doesn't run into a super insider, I think it's good to have Lore Deng and Andres in cameos, so that we can prevent the other party's breakthrough. ”
"Oh? What is the deal? (To be continued.) )
