Chapter 233 [Wang Jun's brain-dead anti-king]
Wang Jun only scored 4 goals in 16 attempts, made 3 of 11 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 11 points.
The media's tone became very fast. In the last game, he also said that the Nets were invincible in the East and was expected to win the championship; in this game, the Nets seemed to have been eliminated in the playoffs.
The "experts" have a consistent view. The Nets reached the finals and it would be difficult for them to win if they met the Lakers or Spurs. They would only have a chance if they faced the Timberwolves Kings.
Although the Timberwolves Kings have stars in the interior, they are mainly shooting and supporting, and are not good at playing at the basket. It is difficult to attract double-teams and is relatively easy to deal with.
When facing Duncan O'Neal, the Nets' inside team was only exposed, and Martin had no choice.
Among the players, the "experts" criticized Wang Jun the strongest because he beat a lot of iron again.
John Lopez, a NBA columnist at the Houston Chronicle, said: "Because of Kidd's organization and controlling the rhythm, the Nets' winning rate is very high now. They can often win when facing weak teams, but they will expose all kinds of shortcomings when facing strong teams. Wang Jun cannot fight hard battles. I don't think he is strong now, even if he wins the rookie match MVP."
Mark Midina, a columnist at Los Angeles Times, looked at Wang Jun even lower. "Some people say that Wang Jun can compete with James Anthony for the best rookie, and I think he is far worse than Wade. His shooting percentage is good, but his role is a single shot. He can't do more on the offensive end. Without Kidd's passing, he is just an ordinary role player."
The New York Times columnist Zach Loway has the most outrageous comment: "Celebrities make it difficult for other teams to win championships. If Wang Jun joins the Lakers or the Timberwolves, he may only be a marginal person. I think it is normal for the Nets to lose to the Lakers, not an unpopular one."
On the surface, it seems to be a satirizing Wang Jun for his poor strength, but in fact it is even more satirizing the star grouping behavior of the Lakers and Timberwolves.
What is certain is that among the inspirational teams that compete for championships, the net team has the weakest lineup.
The overall strength of the Pistons seems to surpass that of the Nets. After Mike James joined, the Pistons have a substitute who can grab points. In the 55 games he played for the Celtics this season, James averaged 107 points and 44 assists per game. His efficiency is not low, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 381.
At this time, it is no longer appropriate to call them "civilian pistons". Where are the civilians in this team?
They just don't have superstars, and players at each position are beyond the league average. Are they called civilians if they are not selected as All-Stars?
The Pistons coach pressed the second-tier rookies tightly on the bench. Oku, who is so powerful that other teams play, has now become a substitute and only plays for more than ten minutes per game.
From this point of view, the Lakers and Mavericks are not as luxurious as the Pistons.
On the other hand, the Nets, last summer and mid-year, were the only teams that did not have big deals. After leaving Mutombo, the only one who dug up Mooning was still sick. If they reached the finals three times in a row, experts think it would be a surprise.
After losing to the Lakers, Wang Jun was stimulated and began to practice more.
He believes that he must run faster and jump higher to play a greater role in the playoffs.
He has time to practice recently.
My sister Leying went to Columbia University to report to class and was not at home during the day.
Abby spent most of his time in Cleveland. The two of them had to fall in love with Platonic for the time being. When Abby came back in the playoffs, the Cavaliers would definitely be out.
Theron went to film. Wang Jun also contacted her via phone to the Internet at night.
Wang Jun is more familiar with computers, can send emails, and can also use the camera to chat with video.
The game continued, and the Nets defeated the Suns and the Nuggets and won two consecutive victories.
In the game against the Nuggets, Wang Jun burst into a blowout and was in a mess. He made 13 of 20 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 35 points and 6 rebounds, and had four steals. The number of steals hit a career high.
It's really hard to stop the luck. Knocking the ball is not considered a steal. Only those who get the ball are counted. After his teammate forced the opponent to make a mistake in passing, Wang Jun easily picked up three steals, and only one of them was his assisting defense and interrupted Camby.
Now, Wang Jun also browses the news online every day.
If the media praises him, he will be happy all day long.
If he belittles him and says he can't do it, he will be more motivated to train.
Watching the news is a good thing.
His high score was not mentioned much in the news that day, and he was stolen by the "Yao Shark Showdown".
Yao Ming's 33 points, 8 rebounds and 28 points, 7 rebounds and 28 points.
However, Kobe's quasi-triple double-double with 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 13 assists beat the Rockets' outside line. Payton's layup at a critical moment helped the Lakers reverse and win.
Many people in the news discussed Yao Ming's physical strength issues. He has the strength, but in the last quarter, his offensive efficiency will decline. He cannot make a stable mid-range shot like in the first half and use "Shanghai Tango".
The good news is that he performed significantly better than last season.
Wang Jun visited the forum again. At the "King of China" forum established by Chinese in New York, he had a group of die-hard fans, not many, with about two thousand people, and he liked to discuss his recent situation.
Abby Theron Leying is all famous people in the forum, and some people even posted street photos of them when they took the street together, but Wang Jun didn't know who took them.
The account registered by Wang Jun is called "Wang Jun 0324". It uses its real name and the number is birthday, because the name "Wang Jun" has been stolen.
A post was topped today, which was posted by "The Legendary Ghost". He clicked in and was shocked.
The content actually says that Wang Jun should replace Kidd as the core of the Nets, because he is the strongest in the team. If he averages 20 shots per game, he will not score at least not less than Kobe. The reason why he has fewer free throws is that the league suppresses the Chinese. He does not have a star whistle, and many thug referees do not blow it.
In short, the "Legendary Ghost" believes that even if Wang Jun is not a super giant, he is still on the road of super giant.
Wang Jun has never posted a post, but he didn't know what Kid would think if he read this post, so he decided to clarify.
Fortunately, this is a Chinese forum, with not many English posts and not many Americans following, otherwise he would have a headache.
Wang Jun posted a post to analyze his current situation, and rationally stated his shortcomings, his ball holding margin, his first step was not fast enough, he was not skilled in fake moves, and it was difficult to face the speed-type outside line when defending. It was not possible to defend the inside line to support the pass, and the pass was particularly bad, etc. These were all things he needed to make progress.
He said that it is not enough to be the core of the team now, unless the coach arranges double-cover scoring tactics for him throughout the game, but then other teammates will not be able to perform well.
After posting, Wang Jun went to the stadium for training. When he came back in the afternoon, Le Ying had already returned home. He looked at the computer and smiled: "Brother, there is a post on your forum that is popular."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Someone criticized you on the forum and said a lot of news. Many fans replied and refuted him. Hundreds of messages said that he was a brainless and rebelled against the king."
Wang Jun’s fans are an alternative group, unlike many fans who call “Honey” and those who oppose “Black”.
His fans now call themselves "Prince", while those who hack him are called "anti-king."
"You actually dare to go to my forum to hack me. Don't you want to mess around? What post?"
"Just this, Wang Jun posted it 0324, and the name is quite like a fan, haha."
"..." to be continued.
Chapter completed!
