Chapter 719 [Unless a Miracle Happens]
Xia Bowen said that in the future, Swan will be responsible for liaising with Wang Jun and will spend most of his time in Los Angeles.
Vivek believes that until he returns, it is not appropriate for the two sides to be too close, otherwise it will arouse media suspicion and affect future plans.
Wang Jun has selfish intentions in doing consulting work, and it is not as comfortable to choose outsiders as he chooses his own people.
So he called Stephen Curry and told him to fight for everything this time and play in the NCAA. Curry knows the Xia Bowen brothers and sisters, but if the strength is not enough, he can't be forced to choose him.
In the NCAA tournament in March, against each other in the round of 16, Curry welcomed two special spectators, Wang Jun and LeBron James.
The game was played in Cleveland, Wang Jun flew over to watch the game, and James looked for an opportunity to chat with Wang Jun.
Both were interviewed, and James said, "Curry is the player I'm willing to buy a ticket to see him play, he's outstanding. ”
Wang Jun smiled: "He said that he was my apprentice, how could I not support his competition?" I'm sure he's going to get better and better. ”
Curry lived up to their good intentions, scoring 30+ in the third straight game of the tournament and leading the Wolverines to a 77-62 victory over the University of Wisconsin to advance to the quarterfinals.
After the game, the two commented on the game separately.
Wang Jun said: "In terms of shooting, I think Curry is no worse than me, he still needs to strengthen in terms of physical strength, as long as his physical strength is excellent, he will become a star in the NBA." ”
James likewise praised Curry's off-ball running. "His running position is very good, it reminds me of Wang Jun and Hamilton, being thin is not too much of a disadvantage, even in the NBA, no one can run with him all the time, no matter how big he is."
It's too early to say that Curry must be a star, but with the team barely rotating the lineup, Curry and a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crabs rushed to the top 8 in a game that would have gone home after one loss, which is no less than anyone's achievement.
After that, the Wolverines lost to the Michigan State University Spartans and missed out on the Final Four.
In this game, "Big Dog" Robinson set a record of 108 points in a single NCAA tournament set by Purdue University. Curry scored 128 points in four games.
The Cavaliers continued to play at home, and James and Wang Jun watched the game together, which greatly increased Curry's exposure. Even if the Kings don't choose him, Curry will definitely not be ranked low with his outstanding performance.
If the Kings are lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick, they will undoubtedly have to choose Blake Griffin on the inside.
Also eliminated in the quarterfinals, Griffin played an average of 33.3 minutes per game, scoring 22.7 points, 14.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals, shooting 65.4% from the field. He is known as the "White Monster", and the Storm Buckle Collection has become popular on the Internet. This is the most talked about among the rookies.
Even if Curry scores more, it doesn't feel so reliable when he looks at his image.
After the game, James invited Wang Jun, Abby, Curry, and David Hornacek to dinner, and did the friendship of the landlord, which was very interesting.
After eating for a while, James mentioned Wang Jun's comeback. "Wang, where are you going to make a comeback in the future? There are no outsiders here, can you get some news? Is it possible to choose a knight? ”
Wang Jun smiled: "I just retired, and you are looking forward to my comeback?" You should be focusing on the MVP, right? ”
"Do you still need to fight? You're not in MVP for sure it's mine. James said confidently.
The Cavaliers currently have the first record in the league, and James has the first efficiency value of 31.8, and the data has reached its peak. He is unstoppable one-on-one, and although he has the bonus of crab steps, his comprehensive skills must also be admitted.
He is second on the scoring list with 28.3 points per game, 33rd on the rebounding list with 7.6 per game, ninth on assists with 7.2 and eighth with 1.7 steals. Thirty-second in caps, 1.1.
James is on the top five stats and three in the top 10, and there are reasons to be confident. His opponents are only Paul and Kobe, the former is not as good as him, and the latter is not as good as him.
Wang Jun shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm going to disappoint you, I won't be coming back in the near future, if I plan to make a comeback, I will definitely tell you." ”
"I really don't understand why you want to retire, as long as you endure it at that time, you can play well in the second half, and the Bulls may not be able to catch up." James regretted.
Wang Jun nodded. "yes, but you're going to be out of luck that way. To be honest, I'm optimistic that you will win the MVP, not that the Cavaliers will win the championship. ”
James frowned and sighed. It's like a curse, but it's true.
"And what do you think the knight is missing now?"
Wang Jun thought for a while and said: "I personally feel that there is a poor No. 4 position that is good at defensive blocking and dismantling, if you play a big forward, you may be able to make up for it, but there is no sharp soldier on the periphery to defend the opponent's core." Also, the speed of Big Z is too slow, it's good to be a meat shield and protect the restricted area, how do you play against a team like the Lakers? ”
James moved his lips and didn't speak.
How to fight? Get beaten.
The Lakers won two games against the Cavaliers in the regular season, and all three interior lines can open up space, and when the interior line is empty, Ilgoskas must defend it.
He struggled to prevent Fisher from catching and shooting, and Kobe Bryant would definitely be passed, and the opponent could shoot directly if he didn't go out, Kobe Bryant attracted the bag or made up the defense, and his teammates could also play big and small, or get an empty position.
The Lakers' interior three high defensive ends are not bad, they move fast, can block and block, can launch a fast attack with a pass, and crush the Cavaliers on the offensive end. In this case, it was useless for James to win Kobe Bryant single-handedly.
James has opened up his evaluation and status with Wang Jun in recent years, so he humbly asks for advice.
"Dude, you've won three championships, you're experienced, if I want to win the Lakers in the Finals, how do you need to play?"
"This question happened to me to think about, let Vallejo start the defense, he should have no problem defending Bynum, you are a little tired, the main defense Gasol, you have to change the defense to block and dismantle."
"......" James' expression was a little funny.
Nima is already hard enough for this alone, well, Gasol is too tall!
The reality is so cruel, Gooden's main defense Gasol will definitely not be able to handle it, Vallejo is the power forward, and the mid-range shooting is much worse.
Wang Jun added: "The most important thing is the offensive end. You play power forward, Vallejo goes out to cover, and the formation is completely stretched. You're misplaced against Gasol, and you can shoot best from the perimeter, and if you can't shoot, you have to rush to the basket to attract the bag, or go head-to-head with your back to attract the bag. Whether it's a burst in the middle or a side split, let your teammates shoot from the outside, and you could win. ”
David was relieved: "Wang, you really know how to tactics now, these are indeed the problems of knights." ”
Curry's eyes were shining with stars, and he looked adoring.
James complained wildly.
Is this tactical? This is clearly handed over to me at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and winning or losing depends on how well I play, right?
I rub! Isn't that how knights usually fight!
"If Mosera Williams played Fisher, it would be a good choice, right?" James asked.
"Yes, but if he breaks in, there will definitely be someone to make up for it, and you are better than him for three points when he points the ball to the periphery?"
Of course not as good as him. James sighed, if he was as invincible as Wang Jun. Not only did he not score three points, but his back was not very good.
Barring a miracle, James will definitely have to hate the playoffs.
