Chapter 167 [First Time]

Christie is obviously not strong, but it is just difficult to get rid of, and the Nets cover him, and he still has a way to get around the chase quickly.

Today he defended Kittles, Jefferson, and Wang Jun, all three of whom were kept up with a lot of efficiency, and almost had no chance to shoot. Compared with physical strength, he was also very good, and he did not look tired in the fourth quarter.

The flashy offense is what fans love about the Kings, and the defenders are overlooked by many fans. In fact, Christie is an indispensable member of the Kings, facing a league full of outside players, as the team's only defensive barrier, he has played against almost all the forward beasts of his generation.

Martin covered, Peja changed the defense in time, relying on the height advantage to interfere, Wang Jun was also difficult to shoot. Kidd saw the situation and did not pass the ball to Wang Jun, but to Martin, who was cutting in the air.

Anti-Martin, Christie is not so comfortable, the gap in size is too big, he is a good player at defending the outside, and he is not good at defending the inside quality men.

Martin squeezed Christie to the baseline and threw the ball in before Miller could come up. 89 to 82.

The Kings attacked, and Peja and Miller covered Jackson.

Jackson is a convulsive man, receiving the ball regardless of Collins' defense, and he can't completely get rid of Jefferson before he jumps and shoots, the ball is fast, the arc is not high, and the hollow goes into the net. 89 to 85.

The Nets attacked, and Kidd made the easiest choice, singled out Jackson, who is 185cm tall.

Jackson was also very experienced, keeping his distance, shooting without shooting, and Kidd pulled a three-pointer and missed the basket without much interference.

3 of 14, is Kidd's shooting percentage today, the key moment. He can't lead the team by scoring.

If the shot was accurate enough, Kidd might have won the MVP long ago. Rather than many doubting his strength, hack his scoring ability.

The Nets were quick to step back. The king kept running, covering.

Wang Jun followed Christie, thinking about Kidd's teachings.

What is the focus of the Nets' defensive system right now?

How can you tie the individual defenses of the team together to form a system?

Kidd's answer: The focus of the Nets' defense is to block the outside shot, if you want to form a system, you can't just follow one person, you need a bold rotation, to help defense, wrap up, and make up defense. That's a quality that a top-tier defense must have. People who can only defend alone are not good at defense.

Wang Jun made a decision in his heart. He doesn't score, he has to help the team in other ways.

The Kings double-screened inside, and he let Christie empty on the left perimeter and rushed towards Jackson, who was holding the ball.

Seeing that Collins was far away, Jackson repeated the trick and made a three-point jumper, ignoring the threat from the side.

As soon as he jumped out of his hand, he saw a hand reach out from the side and cover the basketball!

Wang Jun jumped with all his might. Successfully blocked this three-point shot, he didn't jump very high, but his reach was excellent.

This is Wang Jun's first block in the NBA, and it directly forms a fast-break opportunity. Martin picked up the basketball in the middle, and the single fast attack went to the frontcourt, and scored with a one-handed dunk! 91 not 85.

Morale is a very mysterious thing. It will make two teams with similar strength play completely different games.

The Nets relied on Wang Jun's block and Martin's dunk. Morale is high.

In the next round, Kidd steals Bibby, and the Nets break fast. Jefferson took Jackson hard and scored a layup.

Peja missed, Kidd grabbed the rebound and was a fast break, and Jefferson hit Jackson again, causing a foul and hitting both free throws.

In just one minute, the Nets pulled away 95-85.

After that, they relied on defense to contain the opponent's counterattack, and both sides were not very efficient, and the Nets maintained the advantage until the end.

104-96, the Nets defeated the Western leaders away from home, winning four in a row, and all five players on the team scored in double figures.

Wang Jun played 33 minutes and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. He failed to score in the second half and his streak of 20+ was ended.

Kidd had 13 points and 10 assists, Martin had 18 points and seven rebounds, and Jefferson had 10 points, four rebounds and five assists.

The top scorer was Rodney Rodgers, with 23 points and four rebounds, 10-of-16 shooting and 3-of-6 three-pointers. If he plays like this every game, then the Nets will be invincible.

Although the score is not much, Wang Jun still happily clapped hands with his teammates to celebrate, no matter what, it is a good thing to win.

In the second half, the Kings stepped up their defense against his rookie, and if he could still score easily, it would be Kidd hugging his thigh.

In four games, the Nets players fell in love with Wang Jun's little brother.

During the draft, people's evaluation of Wang Jun was that his defense was bad, so he fell to the second round.

Now everyone doesn't think that his defense is terrible at all, at least qualified. He is not afraid of confrontation after the pick-and-roll, which is exactly the iron and blood trait that the Nets need.

Last season, Kittels suffered too much at the No. 2 position, and Kidd often defended the No. 2 position, and now he doesn't have to do that.

Zhang reasonably commented on the game, and said with some regret: "The net team is very strong now, and the internal unity is very strong, I am optimistic that Wang Jun will grow into an excellent instant combat force, although he failed to win 20+, but he has done his best." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "He is already an instant combat force, and maybe he can enter the best rookie lineup." ”

At the post-game press conference, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Martin, and Kidd participated together.

Lawrence said of the game without mentioning Wang: "We are better than last season, the players played the best team basketball, Wang Jun is one of the best rookies in this class, he is fearless and an important member of the team. ”

The reporter interviewed Jefferson and asked: "Wang Jun is playing very well now, will you feel pressure because of this?" He could steal your starter, and your contract expires in one year. ”

Jefferson immediately made his attitude clear: "My goal now is to win, and I'll think about the contract extension later." Wang is a good teammate and I'm happy for him to come. He's shooting well, he's not as bad a defense as people say, and he's tenacious. ”

A young blonde female reporter asked Wang Jun: "You performed well in the first half, but you only took two shots in the second half and didn't score, how many points do you give yourself in this game?" ”

'Full marks, I took all the chances I needed to take, and in the second half Christie defended well, so I cut back on my shots. All I have to do is maintain status and efficiency, not data. ”

The female reporter was surprised that the answer was different from what she had imagined.

Another reporter asked, "Is there any similarity or difference to your role in the NCAA compared to your role with the Nets?" ”

"I think it's pretty much the same, both teams play team basketball, and I like to play like that. The difference is that in Wolverine, I'm the core of the outside line, and in the Nets, I have a lot to learn from my seniors. ”

The reporter asked: "Do you feel that you are in a low position?" A lot of first-round rookies don't do as well as you. ”

This problem is a trap.

If Wang Jun said that he played well, it should be the first round, and he may offend some rookies, although he did not name them.

And once he doesn't play well, the media will also use this to criticize him as a handle, saying that he is too self-righteous to play only four games.

Most of the second-round rookies will avoid this question when they hear this, and the Cavaliers' Capono has been criticized by the local media because he feels that he is low in the summer and does not play well in the new season.

Wang Jun thought about it and expressed his attitude directly. 'I feel like I'm low in the rankings and if I pick again, there will definitely be a lot of teams that want to draft me. Of course, eventually I'll come to the Nets, with the 22nd pick. ”

The Nets replaced Wang Junlai with the 22nd pick, and he said that he was not only very confident, but also not offended, and it also showed that the Nets management was very discerning.

The reporter who wanted to stir up trouble had nothing to say. (To be continued......)
