Chapter 310 [Two Paths]
Scoring more than 40 points in two consecutive games at the beginning of the game, Wang Jun occupied the top spot in the scoring list, and the whole United States was shocked.
Jefferson's 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists also performed well, and the Nets' third scorer was Eric? Williams, who scored 13 points today and also made a three-pointer.
The Raptors scored in double figures with an average shot, with Carter scoring 20 points, Bosh 18 points, Rose 17 points, Alston 15 points, and Marshall scoring 10 points.
Just like when he played the Rockets, Carter failed to score points with Wang Junbiao, let alone provide a dunk that was difficult enough to hit the best five balls. He didn't look like he's giving it his all and the home fans were disappointed.
At the press conference, Wang Jun became the focus.
The reporter asked him to talk about his feelings, and Wang Jun said flatly: "The team needs me to stand up and score, so I have to try my best to put the ball into the basket." I'm going to prove that I'm one of the best scorers in the league, and if I could, I would like to be the top scorer, that's how I feel." ”
After last season's hard work, he has looked down on the regular season, and even if he plays beautiful statistics, he will not be rewarded, unless he maintains a high score at the end of the season to compete for the scoring title. So he said the goal, and he didn't think it was too high-profile.
However, the next day, the Internet became lively, and most fans in the United States felt that Wang Jun was too arrogant, because in the history of the NBA, no foreign player has won the scoring title.
His goal is to become the best foreign player and even dominate the NBA.
At the beginning of the season, Wang Jun felt that time flew by, and a lot of time was spent in flights and hotels. Back in New York, I have to play for a day off.
Unsurprisingly, once there is a super scorer, the team will attract fans more.
In the third game at home against the Heat, the arena was full again. Some people want to see Wang Jun, and some people come to see O'Neill.
Wang Jun's hand didn't get hot. He shot 7-of-22 from the field, shooting less than 30 percent, 1-of-7 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
Jefferson also only had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and the two couldn't open up. The Nets' offense was a mess.
The Nets lost 78-100 at home.
Wade and Haslem were very successful in restricting Wang Jun.
One-on-one Wang Jun is not as good as Wade. Wade was about the same strength as him, slightly short but with amazing bounces, and was given a big hat during the game.
Haslem is quick to change defenses and is not afraid of confrontation. The non-draft NBA pocket interior player is now a team starter thanks to hard work.
Wang Jun likes O'Neal's big center who doesn't like to defend and dismantle, but it's a pity that O'Neal stays on the bottom line and relies on rotation on the periphery.
The Heat have risen, opening the season with three straight wins.
Even if the role player Rasu? Butler, Damon? Although Jones is not famous, he is better than the Lakers in the Finals. Who shoots three-pointers, who is in charge of defense, who is responsible for breaking through with the ball, and who is attacking in the low post, the division of labor is very clear.
Although Wade has a slightly worse shooting and average experience, he can only be regarded as a weakened version of Kobe, but he and O'Neal cooperate very well. O'Neill is the eldest brother and Wade is the younger brother. There is no contradiction.
The next day, the Nets lost 85-117 to the Suns.
The Suns lineup is still the same as in the past, but the point guard has been replaced by Marbury to Nash, and the Nets can't prevent their offense at all.
The starting five, Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Nash, and Marion all four can shoot three-pointers. The center forward is a very mobile Stoudayer, standard small-ball tactics.
The Suns have an astonishing fast-break speed, Nash is accurate with passes, and has an advantage in heads-up inside. Positional battles: Nash and Smalls blocked the Nets and the Nets couldn't defend the whole game.
Blocking Nash's breakthrough, Xiao Sikong cut too fast. To catch the ball is to dunk. Guarding Xiao Si from the air, it is not good to let the guard chase Nash, his shooting ability is outstanding, the three-point shooting percentage is added to the top three in the league, and the pull-up jump shot is bloody.
On the other hand, the Nets, except for Wang Jun and Jefferson, really don't have any players who can make a shot.
Wang Jun scored 24 points and 4 rebounds, and was uncomfortable being entangled by Marion, only playing 30 minutes, with a good efficiency and a shooting rate of 50%. But the score was too far behind, and it entered garbage time early.
Two consecutive defeats, both losses were miserable. The American media began to preach that without Kidd, the Nets would not work, and the "anti-kings" who hated Wang Jun suddenly came to their senses.
"After two crazy games, when you meet a playoff team, you will be exposed, and then you have to lose."
"He averaged more than a dozen irons per game, and the number of shots was the first in the league, but he scored high shots, and he wanted to grab the boss without strength, and destroyed the team's tactics."
"Who watches the Nets' bad games? Wang Jun is a cancer! ”
There are more people spraying, but Wang Jun has attracted more advertisers.
On this day, Wang Jun received a call from Hughes at the hotel.
"Wang, good news, Nike is ready to launch your exclusive combat boots, send the concept art, you take a look at it on the Internet, and if you are satisfied, they will start doing it."
Wang Jun leaned on the sofa and said lazily: "I think it doesn't matter what style the shoes are, the important thing is to protect the feet from injury and have good quality." Exclusive sneakers aren't good news, are they? If you don't add money, you have to look at the sales volume. ”
Hughes laughed: "There is another good news, Apple has decided to ask you to be an endorsement. ”
"How much does it cost?"
"I plan to sign for three years, 10 million." Hughes replied.
The connection between computers and basketball is not very close, and this price is not low, and Wang Jun easily earns more than three million dollars a year. Now his ability to absorb gold has surpassed Theron, even if Theron has just become a movie queen.
But Wang Jun still couldn't be happy.
Hughes noticed that he was in a low mood and asked, "Are you not happy when you make money?" What's wrong? ”
"The Nets are not competitive, it's so difficult to win games, and when you lose, 20 or 30 points, can I be happy?"
Wang Jun now understands the mood of those stars whose teammates are not strong and who are fighting alone, too depressed.
Hughes comforted, "You should look at the point and learn to get used to it." In the NBA, no player can stay on a strong team all the time, except for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have always been willing to spend money to bring in players to keep the team competitive. Even if the Bulls and Celtics are weakened, let alone the Nets? ”
The Bulls were strong for many years because of Pippen's low salary.
In the early days of the league, the Celtics brushed 11 championships in the Hall of Fame without competition, and the number of championships was too concentrated, and the championship content of the 60s was far less than that of later generations.
Auerbach won 823 wins in the regular season, a winning rate of 65.9%, and 91 wins in the playoffs, a winning rate of 60.3%, which is not as good as Jackson and Popovich. There were 91 games in the playoffs, and not to mention the format at that time, it was amazing to have 91 wins in exchange for 9 championships.
After the development of the NBA, the giants are actually only the Lakers. The only players in the top 10 NBA history who have been teammates are Magic and Abdul-Jabbar, and O'Neal and Kobe Bryant may also be highly rated in the future, both of which are double-team. Except for Jordan, almost all of the people at the top of the all-time scoring list have played with the Lakers.
Wang Jun thought about it, shook his head and said, "I understand the reason, but it's just not happy." ”
Hughes said: "There are two ways to always win, one is to be a good role player, change teams often, go to competitive teams to compete for championships, and you can't ask for a high salary, so that you don't have too high a rating. ”
"I'll pick another one." Wang Jun said without hesitation.
Hughes laughed: "The other is to become a superstar, the best guy in the league, and then there will be a lot of good role players who will come to you for the ring, and you just have to accept them." So, try to put up good stats and don't be depressed about losing. ”
Wang Jun hummed, it could only be like this. (To be continued.) )
