Chapter 730 [Iron King, Blacksmith]

6th. The anti-doping organization released the results of Wang Jun's examination to the public, and he is innocent!

The Chinese were boiling, posting online to celebrate. Wang Jun really broke the record of the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, and with this ability, even if he doesn't play basketball, he is a star.

David Stern almost fainted after watching the news, don't think about it this time in the finals. You can break the record in the triathlon, is this still human?

Wang Jun went to Alcatraz Island to accept the championship trophy, and everyone in the audience looked at him enviously, and the applause was not enthusiastic, because there were not many people present.

It's not easy for these triathletes to be honest.

What's it like to be on the podium? How many avid fans are there in the world? How intense is the training? How much money can I earn? These are nowhere near comparable to NBA players.

In addition to professional athletes and enthusiasts, there are not many fans in the audience, and the prize money for winning the championship is not enough for Wang Jun to buy a full set of equipment and ask the coach to spend.

Triathletes, don't expect to earn a lot. About 20 people get $200,000 or more a year, about 20 people get $100,000 to $200,000, and the rest are worse. Between 30% and 80% of revenue comes from participation in contests, sponsor rewards, and contest prizes.

If you want to make money, the premise is to get good results, and most people don't have enough money to eat when they participate in competitions.

Wang Jun learned about this when he competed, so when he talked about his feelings, he did not despise the defeated opponent, nor did he boast, but talked about the sport.

"I think it's an addictive sport, a sport that tests willpower in particular, and it's cool. Completing a triathlon can make a difference in life, no matter what the outcome is. No matter what you do in the future, you can move forward bravely. ”

There was some applause from the audience.

Wang Jun continued: "I love the sport because it's like a competitive battleground, not a show. I hope that more people in the world will follow this sport. All of you who are there, everyone who finishes the race, we are the winners. ”

The reporter asked: "As the only athlete in the NBA who has achieved good results across industries, do you have anything to say?" ”

"It's a pleasure, but I'm not the first to cross the line. Nowitzki used to play tennis, but he switched to basketball and became a star, right? I just have good stamina, don't praise me too much. ”

Wang Jun modestly mentioned Nowitzki, wanting to offset the record-breaking effect, for fear that some scientists would treat him as an alien and be on the list of the institute.

This time, he is "open", and there are 9 bottles of physical Coke, but after using it, it is not so good, it is still low-key.

Wang Jun didn't break it blindly. As a teenager, Nowitzki was the No. 2 player in German junior tennis. Due to being suppressed by the No. 1 player for a long time, he finally chose to play basketball in desperation, but he didn't expect to get better and better. Now he also plays tennis regularly and can compete with many professional players.

That No. 1 player is Tommy Haas, who was once ranked No. 2 in the ATP world rankings, Germany's golden tennis boy, and is now an evergreen in tennis.

Mr. Wang's modesty has not changed the popularity of his fans, and in China, he has earned his new nickname, "The Iron King."

Game 2 of the NBA Finals begins.

The Cavaliers used a small-ball tactic, with James playing as a cameo power forward and defending Gasol. James struggled to go around the front when he was in the opposite position, and he could make a highlight after the game with a lot of expression.

At first glance, it was James who was in charge, and everyone felt that Gasol should have an advantage. The Lakers deliberately made the ball for him, allowing him to single James on the inside, and the first turn and shot missed.

The second time James made a successful round, Gasol couldn't catch the ball.

On the third occasion, Gasol bent down hard after James received the ball and tried to squeeze inside. However, James did not move behind Gasol, Gasol couldn't hold it up, and he was afraid that the ball would be cut off, so he could only pass the ball back to his teammates on the outside.

Van Gundy, the commentator on the sidelines, couldn't help it and shouted: "No! ”

Seeing that Gasol didn't dare to attack James at all, the Cavaliers used the small-ball lineup, and until the third quarter, it was James who was defending Gasol, Gasol frequently showed timidity, and the point difference did not widen.

At the end of the game, Gasol scored 11 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists for a poor man's double-double. However, the Lakers expected more from him, and James' defense was successful.

However, it was still the Cavaliers who lost. James defended Gasol, and Kobe Bryant did whatever he wanted on the periphery, scoring 40 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, beating Szzczebiak, Pavlovich, Mo Williams and others.

Wrapping Kobe Bryant, Lakers role players can also play. Odom had 19 points and eight rebounds, and Fisher had 12 points, three assists and three steals.

James played the organization forward and pulled away, the three points were not accurate, and the back was not effective. He finished with 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists and six turnovers on 9-of-21 shooting and 7-of-11 free throws.

lost two home games in a row, and everyone knew that the Cavaliers were out of play, and the ratings dropped again than the first game.

Experts compare James and Wang Jun, and think that he is worse in breaking the bag, mainly because he can't shoot the basket and can't effectively attract the bag in the middle and long distance.

Wang Jun can go head-to-head on the periphery, and James can follow one and a half steps.

Burst into the inside line, the restricted area was locked by the big man of the Lakers, and when he chased James, he was at least sandwiched by two people, and it was not easy to ensure the shooting rate. Vallejo can defend, but can't shoot, Big Z, Gooden can shoot, and it is difficult to defend and dismantle.

In the third game, the Los Angeles home court was even more popular.

Bibby and Mo Williams form a double guard, James is responsible for defending the perimeter, Mo Jr. defends Ariza, and Vallejo and Big Z on the inside.

Gasol was immediately resurrected, Ariza also performed well on the counter-attack, Kobe Bryant passed the ball unselfishly, and the Cavaliers defense was full of holes.

James went to defend Gasol, and Kobe Bryant began to exert his power again, single-handedly invincible.

Coupled with James' frustration on the offensive end, the Cavaliers did not pose any threat to the Lakers at all. 72-104 for a 32-point loss.

James shot 9-of-23, 0-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 25 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and five turnovers.

After the game, the media commented that this was the most disparity in the Finals in recent years, and it was even more ugly than the Lakers' play against the Bulls last season.

As soon as Williams entered the finals, his level dropped sharply, how could he have an advantage over Kobe? In the regular season, he mainly focused on catching and shooting, and now he can't do it single-handedly against Kobe.

Bibi has slipped even more, and Fisher can't have the upper hand.

In the last battle, James was repeatedly caught in the low post, and he could only shoot at people, and the Lakers' three highs protected the restricted area very well.

Bryant was a little iron, shooting 11-of-29, 2-of-6 from three-point range, and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, finishing with 32 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

James's stats are still inferior to Kobe, with 8 of 20 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 11 free throws, 25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 turnovers.

When it was time to chase points in the second half of the final quarter, James was completely invisible, and he didn't dare to shoot because of his poor hand, losing 90-101.

Before the finals began, many people said that James was the real MVP.

Now, Kobe Bryant is averaging 31.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 45.8% from the field, 34.9% from three-point range, and 93.1% from the free throw line.

James was defended as a blacksmith, not to mention MVP, he doesn't even seem to be a qualified core. His shooting rate was just over 40%, he made the most mistakes in the team, he didn't resist, he didn't compete, and he watched his opponent win the championship.

Iron King and Blacksmith sound similar, but their meanings are completely different......
