Chapter 68 [To Change]
>,!
The NCAA season is underway at the same time that the NBA has been in action for two months. ∑,
On November 17, 2002, before Yao Ming played for the Lakers for the first time for the Rockets, "Big Mouth" Barkley made a bet with his partner Kenny Smith on the "Barkley Talk Show" program on ** TV in the United States.
He said he would kiss a donkey's ass if he could score 19 points in a game, and Yao quickly made Barkley's dream come true, scoring 20 points on 9-of-9 shooting in O'Neal's absence.
Only 4 days later, Yao Ming faced the defense of Maverick "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley and got a big double-double of 30 points and 16 rebounds, proving that he has a promising future.
So far, Chinese basketball has entered a golden period. Yao Ming fought for the Chinese, and from the beginning he was called a "parallel goods", and gradually became a star.
The attention of the Chinese media was all focused on Yao Ming, who did not know that a Chinese player was playing in the NCAA. Therefore, Wang Jun's aunt's family and sister Wang Leying didn't know anything about him playing basketball.
This time I called home, and my aunt advised Wang Jun not to be too tired from working and to take care of himself. Sending back 10,000 yuan every month, his family felt that he was very successful in the United States, and his uncle and cousin changed their attitudes.
Wang Jun and his cousin Song Ting chatted for a while, and she asked questions about the United States.
She's just a sophomore girl in high school, a little vain, a little willful. Wang Jun bought a foreign brand of clothes and sent it back to her as a gift, she was very happy, and she was not a bad person in essence.
After arriving in the United States, he met some new friends, and Wang Jun's emotional intelligence became higher. understood one of the reasons why he and Le Ying were not popular.
They don't play anything, they live very gloomy every day, and even the whole family becomes "low pressure". Little girls like passion and play, who would want to have a fat and dull cousin?
After chatting with Theron, Wang Jun decided to become more confident and sunny.
At the end of the training, Wang Jun approached David alone and proposed: "Coach, I have thought of a way to solve the recent slump, but I need you to arrange tactics for me." ”
David asked, "How do you want to fight?" ”
"I hold the ball and play with Chris Bobby, if the opponent is tight, I pass the ball and then run, so it's easier to play an open cut match, and if the opponent is slow to change defenses inside, I can shoot directly from medium and long distance."
David had already screened me off the ball for the championship, he had an important role to play in the team, and now he wants to increase the number of shots, which is Harris's job.
Seeing Wang Jun actively asking for the ball, David was surprised. "Do you have the confidence to get away with the ball? If the opponent comes forward to wrap the bag, can you protect the basketball? ”
Wang Jun nodded. "I have confidence, I have been practicing the basic skills of dribbling every day for several months, and I will not be easily cut off with them in team training, I am very proficient, but the first step is not fast enough."
Seeing the brilliance in Wang Jun's eyes, David realized the difference between him and his son, Jeff Hornacek.
Jeff is known for his shooting, and he is not the one responsible for attacking with the ball, whether in the Suns or Jazz. He is average in offense and will not take the initiative to ask for the ball.
Wang Jun's offensive desire is extremely strong, he is no longer satisfied with the status quo, and wants to be the core of the team.
It's hard to imagine that a few months ago he was too amateur to be an amateur, and when he was asked to dribble the ball, he would immediately shake his head and say he couldn't.
Wang Jun's ambitions swelled too fast. But David likes it, and in addition to letting Wang Jun try to attack with the ball, he can't think of a way to adjust and make the team better.
In the ninth game, the Wolverines played at home against the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, there was no superstar, and the overall strength was average.
David changed his tactics slightly. "Wang Jun receives the ball on the perimeter, holds the ball and blocks and dismantles, pays attention to double cover on the inside, Chris is in the high post, and Bobby is on the side. Wang can pass the ball or choose to shoot. Everyone else has an open spot to make a bold move outside the three-point line, Gordon, Mike, get to your most accurate position, stand still and don't run, the empty space ensures efficiency. ”
The two like to run, but they often run to the position where they can't shoot accurately, and they do useless work.
They are not willing to be fixed-point pitchers, especially Harris, who is responsible for attacking with the ball. But what can he say when the coach arranges? Since he can't guarantee efficiency with the ball, he should try something else.
They are different from Wang Jun, who has long dared to shout the slogan of participating in the NBA draft, but they have not thought about this problem, and it is impossible to be selected if they participate.
Hawkeye coach Wayne Powell's arrangement is the same as that of other teams against the Wolverine, compressing the defense, defending Wang Jun on the perimeter by one point, and playing the game for the Mountains, which set a good example for them.
Players from both sides played.
Wolverine starters: Gordon, Wang, Harris, Bobby Carman.
Hawkeye starters: Andy Stella, David Isaac, Ian Kelly, Gary Brooke, Christian Hobbs.
The Hawkeyes' main scoring point is on the outside, and the two strong men on the inside are both defensive blue-collar workers. Hobbs can single-handedly play against Carman, so head coach Wayne thinks there's a chance to win.
Carman jumped the ball and the game began.
Gordon gave the ball to Wang Jun in the middle of the half, and he received it at 60 degrees on the right side.
In the first few games, Wang Jun would immediately shoot when he received the ball in this position, or passed the ball out, and his style of play was very heads-up. As a starter, his chances of foul making are pitiful.
The opponent understands his characteristics, so he is one step away and ready to interfere with the shot, giving him plenty of space to dribble.
Kamanra went to the perimeter to block Isaac. Wang Jun held the ball and walked in the middle, Hobbs did not save outside the three-point line, and Wang Jun got rid of the three-point line in the middle and made a one-step pull-up jump shot.
Sell! Strike boldly!
Wang Jun keeps encouraging himself, he wants to change!
He only had the basket in his eyes, and he didn't think of any other choice.
The timing of this shot was not particularly good, and Ian came up on the side to block, but Wang Jun did not hesitate from the emergency stop to the shot, and soon, he dodged the block, and the ball bounced into the frame. 2 to 0.
The Hawkeyes attacked, both inside lines pulled out to cover and help the outside to catch the ball, Ian received the ball and made a three-point shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Wang Jun stuck the opponent's thinner power forward Gary, relied on his body to win the rebound in the backcourt, and held it in his arms. As soon as Carman went out, he went to the basket to grab the rebound, which was very positive.
Rebounding is also stats, and he wants to make his stats more beautiful.
Positional attack, Gordon led the half, Wang Jun first ran to receive the ball under the off-ball cover of Carman on the side, and then blocked Bobby in the middle.
The two-block helped him get rid of Isaac completely, and he expertly dribbled the ball to 60 degrees on the right side.
Hobbs chose to switch defenses, Wang Jun did not pass the ball immediately, he lowered his center of gravity and broke through with the ball.
The tall player can block his pass, and he doesn't ask for passes, just to get out of the space to pass the ball. He's slower on the outside, and much faster than the strong Flesh Shield Hobbs.
Wang Jun opened up a half-step distance, passed a half-high ball into the middle, and used a little less force, but fortunately Carman realized that he could pass, and cut to the basketball in time, started with the momentum, and squeezed Isaac's right hand to pick up the basket to score. 4 to 0.
When returning to the defense, Kaman and Wang Jun clapped their hands, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.
They just say it off the field, give it to the other party if they don't have a chance, and find someone who doesn't look at the overall situation, which doesn't require a wide field of vision.
