Chapter 673 [Possibility of Breaking the Record]
The team has an excellent record, and Wang Jun won the award in the new season, winning three Player of the Week awards, and also became the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November.
Wang Jun averaged 27.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and the statistics looked bad from last season, but he only played 33.2 minutes per game, shooting 51.8% from the field, 44.6% from three-point range, and 89.3% from the free throw line.
His scoring efficiency is even more terrifying than last season, and his 3.8 assists are also a career-high high, but there are still many people who say that he is not good at playmaking, and he delivers simple assists, relying on the extraordinary scoring ability of his teammates.
The Bulls players are complementary to each other, and Wang Jun's assists are generally given to Lewis and David Lee.
Once David Lee plays center, the Bulls use small-ball tactics, their offense is unstoppable, and the opponent is not easy to contain Wang Jun.
There are a lot of comments on the Internet, and some fans sighed: "The Bulls are probably the most terrifying three-point team ever, right?" If David Lee and Luol Deng practice three-point shooting, all five of them on the court can shoot three-pointers. ”
"The Bulls are not only great starters, but also very strong on the bench, Barnes used to be a marginal person, how come he will shoot three points when he gets to the Bulls, is it infected?"
"Wang Jun's efficiency this season is the first in the league, and the second is James, if the two get together in the Cavaliers in 2005, I feel that other teams don't have to play."
"In garbage time, the Bulls often play with an impregnable defensive intensity on the bench and never let go of water, so what do they have a grudge against their opponents?" The fan watched carefully.
The Bulls' bench defense is really terrifying, usually with Duhon, Barnes, Adrian, Sangeira and Malik Allen. Replaced by Amondsson, the defense is also not bad.
Payton teaches defensive experience to perimeter players on the team, and he rarely plays. These substitutes are not strong in attack, and they show that they rely on defense, without an obvious loophole. That's where the Bulls' roster depth comes in.
Zhang He understood that he was happy when he played the Bulls VS Knicks. "Amunderson is such an interesting player, the team leads by nearly 40 points, but he carries his opponent like he is playing a playoff game, and after blocking and manipulating frantically at the opposing shooter, he always maintains his passion, what kind of spirit is this?"
It is the spirit of resignation.
Amondson, the 2006 draft winner, was like another Hayes. He wants to make money and change his family's life. His wrists are not flexible, he can't shoot well, he may not even score layups, and defense is his only weapon.
His goal is just to not be cut in the middle of the season and finish the season with the Bulls' base salary, that's all.
Layoff in the medium term, for Bulls management. Just throwing out a marginal man, for Amondson, may be the end of his NBA career.
For someone like him, even if he goes to play in summer league, it will be difficult for the NBDL to brush up the data, and he must cherish every second on the court.
Heaven rewards hard work, and Skeys was touched by this spirit of Amundson, and he had already suggested it to Paxson. Even if there is a good veteran who can join in the middle of the game, the team has to keep this person.
Because his training attitude is fantastic. Reminiscent of Hayes, he can strengthen the defense.
Skels also wants to take him to the playoffs if he can, and maybe he needs a defensive blue-collar and foul machine like him when he plays tough games, and he is much more brave than Sangeira.
He was afraid of himself when he broke the rules, for fear of seriously injuring the other party.
Fans feel that the Bulls are too strong this season. It is very good to chase the Bulls' 72 wins.
On the China King forum, the moderator "Legendary Ghost" issued a vote. "This season, will Wang Jun's Bulls surpass Jordan's Bulls and break the 72-win record?"
The appetite of the fans will also grow.
Wang Jun scored 70 points, and they wanted 80 points. Take 80 points, they want 100 points.
The Bulls won the championship last season, and this season the roster has clearly strengthened, and fans are starting to want to see the record broken.
Most of the people on the forum are princes, and 85.2% of the people who are optimistic that Wang Jun will lead the team to surpass Jordan with 72 wins, and tens of thousands of people are optimistic about this bull.
ESPN also mentioned the possibility of the Bulls breaking the record.
Columnist Nicholas posted: "The Bulls are already the best team in the league. They are a little inferior defensively to the last Bulls dynasty, but they are better than they are offensive. ”
The article makes a detailed comparison of the lineups of the two sides, and the bench strength is similar, both have super sixth and pitcher. The starting Bulls players are a little less famous, but the four are good at shooting and can maximize the space, which the 1996 Bulls couldn't do.
The 1996 Bulls started with Jordan, Pippen, and Harbour shooting three-pointers, and their shooting percentages were all inconsistent, and their main means of attack were breakouts and half-volleys. Now this Bulls team is dominated by outside offense, and they are invincible from three-point range.
And because of the rotation, the players don't play too much, and it is easier to ensure health while ensuring physical strength.
Lewis played the most minutes and averaged just 34.3 minutes per game, while David Lee, Lore Deng and Chandler all played about 25 minutes.
In an interview with reporters, as the No. 1 Bulls player, Jordan commented: "If the Bulls can break the past record, I will congratulate them, because records are for people to break." But it's too early to talk about that, the season has just begun, and the Pistons played well before the All-Star break last season. ”
The implication is that Jordan is not optimistic.
The reporter asked about the sensitive topic again: "Do you think Wang Jun is the best player in the active team now?" ”
This topic has been asked by many people, and probably feels that there are some things that must be faced, and Jordan did not continue to avoid it.
"He's just one of the best players, and if you go and interview Wang Jun, he'll say the same thing. The Bulls won the championship last season and led the regular season this season, both because of the overall strength of the Bulls. Just watch a few more Bulls games and you'll see that he's not so tightly packed. ”
Jordan is using Wang Jun's own words to evaluate him, which will not cause controversy.
The reporter asked: "Wang Jun played very well, but not many fans said that he was Jordan's successor, what do you think about this?" ”
Jordan's face was a little dark, and he said coldly: "It's normal, he and I don't have a similar style of play." ”
Jordan left, refusing to answer any more questions.
Those previous imitators made Jordan feel very comfortable, and if someone ruled the league and established a dynasty, he certainly hoped in his heart that he would be the one who was most like Jordan.
Whenever the media commented that someone was not a qualified successor, not as good as Jordan, he felt very useful. But now, he doesn't bother to mention the records of Kobe, Maddy, and Carter.
Pippen was also interviewed by the media, and he was even more polite, because he was unpleasant to look at Wang Jun.
Commenting on Wang Jun, he said: "I think Kobe Bryant is the closest person to Jordan, his work attitude is unparalleled, Wang Jun has won two championships with his excellent teammates, which does not mean that he has the strongest dominance and can surpass Jordan in the future." ”
Seeing this evaluation, Jordan was not happy at all, only that Pippen couldn't speak.
Kobe Bryant is the closest person to me, and the core of the seven teams in front of the Lakers in the West are all teammates? With the exception of the Lakers, all of his teammates are rubbish except for Kobe?
Wang Jun smiled after seeing the comments, as long as the Bulls successfully defend the title, what can the two celebrities say?
