Chapter 158 [After the Great Victory]

In the fourth quarter, the Nets fielded a bench lineup led by Kittels, Scala Bryan also got a chance to play, and Rodney rested.

Kittels' body is not suitable for playing for long periods of time, and his efficiency has dropped dramatically.

Playing 20 minutes, he can score 10 points; After 40 minutes, he scored 15 points.

Scott never thought about this problem before, and let Kittels keep fighting, which made "Mosquito" very disgusted.

Let Wang Jun play more, which can reduce the playing time of Jefferson and Kittels and ensure the scoring efficiency of the two.

In the fourth quarter, Korver and Rucios hit another three-pointer, and their teammates excitedly waved towels on the sidelines.

Wang Jun sighed in his heart while following the music, he had only played for a total of 27 minutes, and he still had physical strength, so he didn't enjoy it.

Three minutes later, Martin came on the court for a while, and after blocking and splitting, he scored two beautiful dunks in the middle and protected the rebounding ball in the backcourt.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the SuperSonics closed their troops early and replaced all the main forces.

In the end, 101-73, the Nets won by 28 points.

Look at Wang Jun, who shot 7 of 13, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist; Looking at Lidno with 7 points and 2 assists, the supersonic boss is thinking about whether to change managers.

The rookies with the fourteenth pick in the first round and the fourth pick in the second round actually seem to have a big difference in strength.

The injured Collison didn't know what level he could play after his comeback, and the SuperSonics lost this year's draft.

The Nets played well collectively, with five players scoring in double figures.

Kidd shot 4-of-10, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line to finish with 13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.

Martin had 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Jefferson had 16 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Kittels played 22 minutes and also scored 11 points.

The players excitedly returned to the locker room, and Wang Jun simply took a shower and came out of the bathroom, where he found Lawrence waiting for him.

"Wang, you played very well today, get ready to go to the press conference with us, there must be many reporters who want to interview you." Lawrence smiled.

"I'm going?" Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, this was just his first battle.

The NBA's press conference is always attended by only a few people, first to see if it is a big name, and secondly, whether the game is eye-catching and whether there is a good performance in the near future.

Only celebrities can be interviewed, and many reporters may not pay attention to even if the locker room is open.

"Of course, you're the top scorer on our team." This arrangement alone is enough to see Lawrence's fancy for Wang Jun.

"Thank you."

"If you play so well in every game, I will let you go in the future and trade you, which is the most beautiful thing the uniform team has done." Lawrence sighed.

He will also work hard to sign a long-term contract with the Nets in the summer, relying on the performance of the players.

Because of the ban, Wang Jun and Lawrence didn't communicate much, and during the training camp, they barely spoke alone. He impressed the other party with his abilities.

Everyone came out of the shower, and they were in a good mood.

Kidd smiled. If he doesn't win again, the news will definitely not say anything good about him, and the superstar is not willing to mess up, and if he can't make the playoffs, it will be a stain on his career.

Lawrence called Wang Jun, Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson to the press conference.

Lawrence first praised Wang Jun when commenting on the competition. "Wang Jun played really well and did everything I wanted him to do, he was an important member of the tennis team, and I'm very happy to have him back."

The reporter asked: "The Nets' record was not good after the start of the game, and they won a big win immediately after the change of coach, and it was rumored that Kidd and Scott were at odds, is this true?" ”

"The Nets will win, that's the key, and the past will pass." Lawrence is not very old, but he also knows how to avoid the important and ignore Scott.

The reporter interviewed Kidd, and he gave Wang Jun a very high evaluation: "Wang Jun fell to the second round because all the scouts looked away, he is a great team player, he can play on the court, I am very happy that he has proved himself." ”

Martin is equally unsparing in his praise. "Wang is the best shooter on our team, and we're all happy to pass the ball to him."

"I think we've come out of the slump and there's no doubt that we're going to be able to play the best team basketball," Jefferson laughed. ”

When Wang Jun was interviewed, the reporter first asked him to talk about his feelings.

Wang Jun smiled and replied in the most common way: "I was able to score 21 points in the first game because of the efforts of the whole team, and I am very happy to play with such a good group of teammates." ”

A local black reporter asked, "Did you apologize to Mason after the elbow ban?" ”

Ryan Hughes reminded Wang Jun to answer in a low-key manner, but when it came to Mason, he still showed his attitude very unceremoniously.

"Why should I apologize to him? That guy maliciously fouled first. Did I have to apologize to a mob on the road who attacked me in a planned way, just because he was too weak and was put down by me when I fought back? Are you encouraging this waste wood to be bold enough to hurt people in this way in the future? ”

The reporter choked and asked, "Is there anything you want to say to Mason?" ”

"I hope he will be honest in the future and prove himself with his skills. Speaking of apologies, I should apologize to the fans of the tennis team because I was irrational in the preseason and didn't play until today. I promise that I won't fight violence in this situation in the future, as a player you should prove your toughness with goals, and my only purpose in coming on the pitch is to help the team win. ”

Wang Jun's answer was quite tactful, otherwise the news would definitely spray him tomorrow.

The next day, major media reported the news that the Nets had won a big win out of the trough, and Wang Jun's perfect debut was a highlight, and Scott's face was swollen.

He doubted that as long as he supported Wang Jun and let him play immediately after the ban ended, he would be able to keep his position.

One thought is wrong, and there is no regret.

Wang Jun's words about Mason were released, some people said that he was arrogant, some people said that he was tough, and some people said that he had clear grievances.

ESPN is still not very optimistic about Wang Jun's prospects, believing that a game will not prove anything, and if he is just a "convulsive", it will not be useful to the Nets, unless he can play steadily, which is very difficult for a newcomer.

** The radio praised Wang Jun. "He's not slow, he doesn't see it as a defensive black hole, but he does it after a misalignment. After training, he may not be worse than Yao Ming in the future. ”

Domestic media reported that fans continued to split into two factions.

Some people feel that Wang Jun is very strong, and he is the most successful debut of a Chinese player after joining the NBA.

Wang Zhizhi made his debut with 6 points and 3 rebounds, ** 0 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and Yao Ming had 0 points and 2 rebounds, all of which were very bad. Wang Jun had 20+ in the first regular season.

Huaizhou Sports School was mentioned again, and was fiercely attacked by fans, and was also shot while lying down. There are no beads in the evaluation, they are considered to be solid.

There are also some people who say that Wang Jun's character can't be mixed in the NBA for long, and it's obviously a thorn in the head, or Mason's.

There are also many media outlets in the United States that continue to look down on the Nets, such as the Los Angeles Times, who have expressed disdain for the Nets' win over the SuperSonics.

"The supersonic didn't meet any strong teams at the start, the winning streak is just luck, and the Nets have to beat the strong teams if they want to prove their strength."

That's 50 steps and 100 steps, and the Lakers are not doing well in the new season.

The Nets have become harmonious internally, while the Lakers internal contradictions are intensifying.
