Chapter 258 [What Are You Kidding]

Winning the first place in the league must attract attention.

The Suns were still in the run-in period at the beginning of the game, and they didn't play very well, losing a lot of games, and as the game went on, it became easier for them to win, and Nash often played only 30 minutes to end the battle.

Today, the Suns have a full lineup, and all five starters have played more than 40 minutes and still lost, which is the best proof of the strength of the Nets.

Carter also served. Wang Jun is better than him, that is, the ability to seize opportunities, he can create himself without opportunities, and never stand aside and wait for his teammates to pass the ball.

Wang Jun is like a physical version of Hamilton, good at playing without the ball, but also can create opportunities on his own, hard to eat thin defenders or hold the ball past the inside.

Carter has been with the Raptors for nearly three years, and he often stands on the periphery to watch the excitement when he has no ball in his hands, and he also has this problem after coming to the Nets, as if the ball is not in his hands, and offense and defense have little to do with him.

Now under the influence of Wang Jun, Carter plans to play harder.

Commenting on the game, D'Antoni said: "The main reason for this defeat is defense, we have not been able to prevent the opponent's outside attack, especially Wang Jun, his shooting is too accurate. ”

In this game, Wang Jun was indeed scary, and he was the brightest star in the game, scoring 20 points in the final quarter.

Nash also praised Wang Jun, thinking that he was domineering. "Many media said that Wang Jun was not in good health, and when he first entered the league, I thought he was the same as me, but he could dunk and make up for the dunk. It's really enviable. ”

Lawrence smiled very happily. He won the championship last year as head coach, and now the lineup has changed so much that he can beat the Suns, who have the league's best record, so lucky.

Wait for Jefferson to come back. Lawrence is confident that he will be able to adjust his tactics and just play three swingmen. Jefferson is of similar height and weighs more than Marion. The Suns play small-ball tactics, and they certainly can.

'We've got the feeling of winning again.' Lawrence said: "As long as you avoid injuries, I believe it will get better and better in the future. ”

The reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "This is your fifth 40+ this season, do you have any feelings?" ”

"I'm still at the top of the scoring charts and I'm very happy."

The reporter asked: "In the latest All-Star voting, you are at the top of the rankings and are likely to be the starters in the East, but the votes are behind Yao Ming, do you think this is because of the ban?" ”

The reporter deliberately found fault. wanted to lead Wang Jun to say the wrong thing.

Wang Jun said that it doesn't matter, it will seem that he doesn't pay attention to the All-Star.

If he thinks that he is better, his popularity should not be so low, and the reporter can say that he is jealous of Yao Ming.

If he feels he has too few votes, it would be even better to question the league's vote, which could be seen as a thorn in the side of other NBA stars and the league.

Wang Jun's mind is broader than the reporter imagined, and he has no intention of comparing himself with others at all.

"I'm happy to be selected, you know I wasn't on the shortlist last season, and every time I was suspended from the Nets, I had good luck. Last year we won the championship, and this year Carter came and improved his strength, so I think we will definitely play better in the future. ”

Many reporters complained wildly.

Not only is it not compared to others. He also said that the ban was a good thing!

Did the Nets have good luck because of your suspension? Are you kidding?

Do you dare to be thick-skinned?

At the end of the press conference, Wang Jun flew to Los Angeles with the team to challenge the Lakers away. The next day the whole team rested. Recharge your batteries.

The combination of Butler and Kobe Bryant vs. Carter and Wang Jun should have been a classic battle. It's a pity that Kobe Bryant was out of action due to injury and couldn't play. It makes the game a lot of disgrace.

Bryant has taken on more responsibility this season, averaging 27.6 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.3 steals per game. With a career-high number of assists and a career-high 10.2 free throws per game, he's playing more aggressively.

Kobe Bryant wanted to prove that he could lead the team to win without O'Neal, and he worked the field, and the result of his desperate breakthrough was that he missed one game with a tibial injury, and recently suffered a serious ankle sprain, missing at least four weeks.

Kobe Bryant finally became the boss of the team, and it was cool to have the privilege of unlimited shots, but without the "big shark" to attract defense, the Lakers' record was not so cool outside the playoffs.

The Nets easily defeated the Lakers 114-88.

Carter had 30 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, Wang Jun had 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Lakers didn't take much advantage of the Nets' compressed defense inside, and Odom was just a second-rate star, who could be a helper and couldn't dominate the game.

Watching the game on the sidelines, Kobe Bryant's face was long, and his mood was very complicated.

The cruel truth is in front of him, and he has to admit that without the super inside line around him, everything is different.

It is difficult for the Lakers to make the playoffs, while the Heat have risen to first place in the East. O'Neal did not forget to stimulate Kobe Bryant in an interview, saying that he had expected the Lakers to be finished, and Kobe Bryant couldn't do without him.

The current situation of the two can be edited into a MV, accompanied by Jacky Cheung's "Heart Like a Knife".

You are leisurely, but I am helpless, and my heartache is ...... Your joy.

Actually, I don't want to be reluctant to be in love with you, but what makes me toss and turn, and I don't feel that the sky is dawning as I speak, and the corners of my lips taste a kind of bitterness.

I really cried for you, you really went with him, right here the whole world...... Sad characters...... I've got one more.

In the game played on the same day, the 76ers played at home against the Wizards, Iverson scored 48 points and made 18 of 20 free throws, making the Wizards almost collapse.

This season, Kobe Bryant has not made the most free throws, with Iverson averaging 10.3 per game.

The league did not arrange a black whistle to suppress Wang Jun, but many referees spontaneously united and increased the number of free throws made by local stars to help them compete with Wang Jun for the scoring title.

There is also racial discrimination in the adjudication community.

The New York Times has previously proposed a "hidden concept" of on-court penalties: from 1991 to 2003, in 12 NBA games, the more white judges on the court were, the more penalties were awarded in favor of white players; The more blacks there are, the more penalties are awarded in favor of black players.

Scott, a scholar specializing in this research? "You can see the difference between games where three black referees officiate and games where three white referees officiate," Price said. In this kind of game, we can know what color the person made the decision. And when we only analyze this kind of competition, we come to the same conclusion as we would if we studied all the competitions. ”

Price concludes that "racial discrimination" in this blowing does exist.

Wang Jun is in a worse situation, he is a yellow race, and there are no Chinese referees in the NBA. Another unspoken rule of blowing punishment is that it is very difficult to get a whistle if you are a physical master.

Unlike Iverson, who goes to the free throw line at the first touch, Wang Jun will not blow the free throw unless he is knocked out, or the opponent obviously pulls him down and puts him down.

In this regard, O'Neill has publicly pointed out that referees can sometimes appear "indifferent" when faced with a "monster" like him who is clearly more physical than other players.

"Some referees might think, hey, he's so strong, there's no need to give a foul. So we suffer. ”

Wang Jun only averaged 5.1 free throws per game, and it was not easy to occupy the top scorer. (To be continued.) )
