Chapter 419 [A Gift for You]
After a day off, the Bulls embarked on a road trip to the West, beating the Warriors 88-82 for a season sweep.
Dujon and Hinrich both played poorly and repeatedly missed. Fortunately, Wang Jun, Nocioni, and Luo Erdeng stood up.
Wang Jun was heavily guarded throughout the game, shooting 10-of-25, 1-of-4 three-pointers, and 5-of-6 free throws, scoring 26 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
Wang Jun is still the Bulls' top scorer, and they have suppressed their opponents with defense, allowing the Warriors to score less. Richardson lost to Wang Jun again in the matchup, scoring only 17 points and 5 rebounds.
Then, the Bulls defeated the Trail Blazers who lacked attackers 106-90 on the road, and Wang Jun scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
This one is very easy, regardless of Zach? Randolph or Pulzbilla, it is more difficult to block and dismantle, Wang Jun can always pass easily, and the emergency stop jump shot makes the opponent helpless.
The next day, the Bulls narrowly beat the SuperSonics 89-85 in Seattle.
The Bulls' young players don't know what tiredness is, which is the biggest advantage, and their weakness is also obvious, that is, they are not stable enough, and they are easy to play when they are excited.
Hinrich made just 5 of 15 shots and Nocioni made 4 of 13 shots.
On the surface, it is said that he is not fighting for the core, but last season Hinrich made a lot of shots and was an important offensive point for the team, and he even had a few games with 30+ shots. Suddenly turning him into a pure point guard, he didn't feel comfortable with less than 10 shots a game.
There is no guarantee of efficiency, and the coach has no reason to let him shoot more.
Ray Allen and Lewis kept taking a trap on Wang Jun and forcing him to pass, and he still scored 21 points in this game. 7-of-16 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers. 5-of-5 from the free-throw line.
The two substitutes, David Lee and Lore Deng, were the key to the win, shooting more than 50 percent from the field. The supersonic Radmanovic bench scored 14 and 16 points respectively to help the team win the game.
The Bulls are on a six-game winning streak. With a one-week winning record, Wang Jun was also elected as the first NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week in his career, and the Western Conference Player of the Year was won by Duncan.
Wang Jun played good statistics in the Nets last season, and there were two long winning streaks during the period, but it was not a coincidence that either someone from other teams played better, or he had an abnormal game that week.
He has been nominated several times. Not once was selected.
Although the weight is very light, it is an honor, and Wang Jun is very happy.
Wang Jun returned to Chicago with the team, and their next game will be at home against the Lakers, which is a key game.
There is now a rare competition in the NBA scoring charts in nearly two decades.
Iverson 34. 2 points in first place, Kobe Bryant 31. 6 points second, James 30. 6 points, Arenas 30. 3 points, Wang Jun 29. 7 points is actually fifth.
In addition, Wade, Pierce, Nowitzki, Anthony, Reed and others are also averaging more than 25 points per game. 40+, 50+ has appeared many times.
This season's player statistics soared, but it was not Wang Jun's statement that he wanted to compete for the scoring title that stimulated the opponent, but the league changed a rule in 2004. Removed handcheck (hand contact defense).
Specifically, it is a rule that does not allow hands and forearms to touch the body of an attacking player outside the penalty area to block the attack, which is used to encourage attack.
Last season's referee blew a penalty that wasn't obvious. With the Spurs vs. Pacers Finals ratings dismal, a large number of low-scoring games have fans complaining. The league is determined to reform and replay offensive basketball.
Wang Jun felt that the blowing penalty for the defense was stricter than before. He was whistled for several fouls on his elbow defense, and he didn't dare to raise his arm easily unless he was facing a much stronger big man inside.
This rule has had a seismic impact on the league this season, and the scoring of perimeter players like Kobe Bryant and Iverson who are good at breaking through with the ball has been greatly liberated. If it was last season's Wang Jun, I am afraid he would not benefit much, and now he has also practiced the technique of breaking through with the ball, the opponent is not close, he can calmly turn around and dribble the ball.
And then the magic happened, and the top 15 in the scoring list are all outside players except Nowitzki. And Nowitzki is actually an outside play.
As long as the rules of joint defense are not changed, it is destined to be the world of the outside line in the future. The Pistons have been the biggest casualties under this rule, and their perimeter is dominated by running without the ball.
When he returned home, Wang Jun found that Xia Baowen and Ajiali were here, and Ajiali was still holding a kitten with a strange pattern in her arms.
"Hey, you're here? When did it arrive? Wang Jun asked.
Xia Bowen smiled: "I just arrived for a while, I knew that you were coming back today, and I planned to go to the scene to watch the Bulls vs. the Lakers." I think it's going to be exciting, you can get a ticket, right? ”
"Of course, it's on me."
NBA players also have some special perks, such as receiving internal tickets from the team and inviting friends and family to attend. The families of many big-name stars will get season tickets, and as long as they are willing to go live to see them, the team will be satisfied.
The two siblings had long known about the relationship between Theron and Wang Jun, and they were not surprised that she was here. When he came, Xia Bowen also called Theron to ask if it was convenient.
Wang Jun doesn't mind friends coming to play, New York is not far from Chicago. The only thing he feared was that Abby had come from Cleveland to Chicago and meet Theron alone. If he wasn't at home, the two would quarrel and be lively. Fortunately, Abby would call him beforehand when she met him.
Ajiali hugged the "kitten" who licked her head and licked her tongue and said: "Wang, this is my gift to you, congratulations on getting 61 points, I am a family, I recently gave birth to three cubs, and those two are companions at home." ”
"Uh......" It's a pity that the two of them are at home and send him this here alone.
"Do you like pets?" Agalie asked with a smile.
"Luckily, I have two dogs at home. I like this guy very much, and I'll call him Garfield from now on. Wang Jun took the "kitten" and asked, "It's a male, right?" ”
"It's male." Agalie raised an eyebrow: "But isn't Garfield the name of a cat?" ”
"Isn't this a cat?"
"This is ......" Ajiali hesitated for a moment, stuck out her tongue, and said naughtily: "Forget it, you can name it whatever you want, you have to be nice to it." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to let Charlie's dog bully it." Wang Jun patted his chest and assured that although Theron's Golden Retriever was a bit big.
Garfield seemed to understand what he was saying, and arched into his arms.
"Great, Alyssa said you don't have pets, and I'm worried you don't like it."
"I used to be afraid that Alyssa would be allergic to animal hair, but now it's okay to live separately."
Originally, Wang Jun didn't like to keep pets, and it was inconvenient to live in a building, but now the house is too big and there are too few people, and Theron likes dogs very much, so he raised them.
Theron listed more than a dozen benefits of raising animals, and he was speechless. Pets can make people forget loneliness, sweep away tension and pressure, stay cheerful, become caring people, understand the importance of life, and the phenomenon of insufficient exercise will be eliminated naturally......
With a dog, the family is indeed a little lively. Now a "kitten" is definitely more interesting.
At noon, Garfield began to stick to Wang Jun, where people go, it goes.
Wang Jun wanted to buy some cat food, and Ajiali said that it would be okay to feed the meat, so he fed some chicken and really ate it.
"It's really not a picky eater, you eat meat at such a young age, and you won't bite when you grow up, right?" Wang Jun asked worriedly.
"No, this breed is very docile, I will send it to you if it can be raised, and when it grows up, you must be very majestic when you take it out."
"Really......"
Wang Jun doesn't think there is any prestige in taking a cat out, especially because he has a big head and a small body, so it's good that he won't be laughed at on sports news.
