Chapter 478 [April Fool's Day Battle]
April 1 is April Fool's Day, a happy day, if you are not careful, you will be tricked by your friends, and those who are tricked will generally not get angry.
However, the weather in Charlotte was terrible, there was a heavy rain, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the players could only stay in the hotel, closed doors, and recharge.
In the evening, Charlotte Arena fans were so large that they were almost full. The embarrassing thing is that most of the fans did not come to support the home team, but to watch Wang Jun's performance. When the Lakers came to play on the road, the attendance was also high.
This is the second season of Bobcats in the NBA, and they have a terrible record, no signature stars, a poor ball market, and are at the bottom of the league.
Michael Jordan's stake is bullish on the Bobcat's prospects, not now.
Jordan went to the home stadium today to watch the game, hoping to inspire the home team in this way, and he also went to the locker room early to talk to the players, and the newcomers were flattered and encouraged.
On the Bulls' side, Sangeira was equally flattered as he started alongside David Lee.
Since Hayes' arrival, Sangueira's playing time has been reduced repeatedly, averaging less than 10 minutes per game.
Sangeira was still a starter at the beginning of the season, and if he stayed with the Bulls for two years, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get a base salary contract.
Chandler was not injured, and at noon Skeyles spoke to him and informed him that he would be rested for the playoffs.
Chandler has no opinion, anyway, he has signed a big contract, the salary is still taken, and the data does not drop.
The other three starters of the Bulls were Wang Jun, Nocioni, and Hinrich, and Lore Deng, who defended well, also sat on the bench.
Bobcats starting five: Raymond? Felton, Blavin? Knight, Jumaine? Jones, Gerrard? Wallace, Primoz? Brezek.
Okafor was injured and Gerrard stepped into the No. 4 position. HE IS VERY STRONG, ALTHOUGH HE IS ONLY 201CM TALL. But it's completely competent.
Seeing that the Bobcats discharged a double-guard formation, Wang Junle was happy. Isn't this just food delivery?
Knight is 178CM tall and weighs 78 kilograms, and Felton is only 185CM tall despite his weight of 93 kilograms.
CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Li said: "The game is about to start, and the formation of the Bobcats should be to play fast attack, one big and four small." The Bulls are also small-ball tactics. ”
"Let's see if Wang Jun can seize the opportunity, and there is not much time left for him to catch up with Kobe Bryant in the scoring list." Yu Jia sighed.
Chinese fans all hope that Wang Jun can come from behind, surpass Kobe Bryant in the scoring list, and make history.
THE 218CM TALL SLOVENIAN CENTER BREZEK JUMPED TO WIN AND THE GAME BEGAN.
Knight passed to Felton, who played a pick-and-roll break with Blazek on the right with odd speed, attracting Sanguela to switch defenses and then split the ball to the center who cut into the air.
Blazek took a big step forward and scored on a layup. David Lee is too short. The location is not stuck, there is no way. 0 to 2.
Blazek, one of the 27 first-round picks in 2000, was selected by the Bobcats and started two seasons at the end of his career. Last season, he averaged 13 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. He also had 12.4 points and 5.6 rebounds this season.
The Bulls attacked, and the main defense on the outside Wang Jun was Zhu Meiyin? Jones.
Bobcats coach Bernie? Bickerstaff asked Felton to defend against Nocioni, and Jumeiin to defend against Wang Jun. The height is 203CM, the weight is 99 kg, and the physical fitness does not suffer.
Wang Jun asks for the ball from the outside. Know this old adversary. Jumaine has played with the Celtics and Lakers, and started more than two dozen games with the Lakers last season. After arriving at the Bobcats, he played better, averaging 10 points and 5 rebounds per game.
Passing to Nocioni is an opportunity, but Wang Jun has to play by himself, dribbling the ball from the right side into the three-point line with his crotch, leaning his back against Zhu Meiin, holding the ball in his left hand and half-turning to the middle, taking a step back with his left foot, and making a jumper.
His movements were very consistent, and Jumaine was a little slower and didn't cover it, and the ball went in. 2 to 2.
The Bobcats attacked, and Felton accelerated past David Lee after blocking and scored. 2 to 4.
The worst inside line also has to be attacked and defended, David Lee and Sangeira both belong to the category of poor defense, and it is not easy to defend with one move, and Felton is still one of the fastest guards in the league, just to restrain them.
The bull attacked, the ball passed to Wang Jun's hand, he did exactly the same action as just now, turned around and stepped back to take the ball with both hands but didn't throw, and bent his knees and shook a little.
Zhu Meiyin didn't cover it just now, but this time he followed it tightly, and he knew it was broken as soon as he jumped up. Wang Jun stepped forward and bumped into him and threw the ball, but it didn't go in, and the referee blew the whistle and fouled the free throw.
Wang Jun hit both free throws, 4-4, and returned to defense with a smile.
As long as he doesn't get caught in the bag, he now dares to single-handedly take on anyone, even those who are named to the league's All-Defensive Team.
The Bobcats attacked, and the Bulls players contracted the box, forcing Felton to pass the ball out, and he was caught without passing.
Knight averaged 10 points, 9 assists and 2 steals per game last season, and this season he also has 12.5 points, 8.8 assists and 2.3 steals, but he is still not a good point guard, because his shooting is so poor that he can only pass the ball if he is three steps away from the perimeter.
Jumaine catches the ball and jumpers, Nocioni comes forward to interfere, and the ball is deflected.
David Lee grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack, passed the ball twice to the frontcourt, Wang Jun faced Knight, stuck the opponent and scored an easy layup. 6 to 4.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "As soon as I saw that Knight was defending Wang Jun, he went straight up, and he was already very face-saving without a dunk." ”
"As long as you play two defenders in the wrong position, Wang Jun can score easily." Yu Jia said.
Bobcats coach Bernie knows this is a weakness, but there is no one to replace, and the rest of the team is not good defensively, and the current lineup can at least ensure the offense.
Unless the Bobcats shoot every round, the Bulls can't fight back, and the Suns can't do that.
In the first quarter, Wang Jun was caught many times in the positional battle, mainly receiving the ball, and fighting alone. He scored 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting, 1-of-2 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, with no rebounds and no assists.
His focus is all on scoring, not grabbing backcourt rebounds, and having a chance to finish the offense directly.
The Bulls led 33-25.
In the second quarter, Wang Jun continued to play, and his teammates were Du Hong, Lore Deng, David Lee, and Grant. Hayes didn't play, and the veteran Grant could shoot from the mid-range and was more suitable for pulling away and picking up leaks.
The main offensive task is still Wang Jun's, he came up with the ball and hit Matt? Carol one.
This scoring guard has a good height and weight, but he is very slow and can only shoot, Wang Jun turned around and stepped back to completely shake out of the space, and hit a jump shot. 35 to 25.
Bobcat attacked, passed a few Carroll jumpers missed, players quickly returned to defense, Bernard? Robinson defends Wang Jun.
Wang Jun slowly passed the half, looked for cover and suddenly ran at full speed to catch the ball, and hit a three-point shot in the middle. 38 to 25.
Substitute power forward Baxter didn't defend it, he was exchanged for the Rockets, and the Bobcats sent Bogans, which is definitely a stupid deal, although Bogans is bad offensively, but he is a good defensive player from Kentucky, the No. 2 position is not afraid of confrontation, and he can follow people, as long as he is there, Wang Jun's offense is not so easy.
Baxter is a fat man with a height of 203cm and a weight of 120 kg, who is slow and has poor bounce power.
The Bobcats attacked, Bernard received the ball in the middle and passed Wang Jun in one step, and made a quick stop jump shot. 35 to 27.
The Bulls attacked, Wang Jun found cover again to catch the ball and shoot, Baxter leaked again, and hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner on the right side.
38 to 27, his 27th personal score, this time he went crazy again!
