Chapter 343 [Focus Battle Comeback]
In the fifteen games of Wang Jun suspended, the Nets achieved 2 wins and 13 losses, plus the previous 6 wins and 4 losses, with a total of 8 wins and 17 losses. "They are only better than the Hawks and the Bobcats, ranking 13th in the Eastern Conference.
The nets' schedule was tight in front and loose in the back. After four days of rest, they flew to Detroit to challenge the Pistons.
Abby came back from Cleveland to celebrate Christmas together. Wang Jun and three beauties had a dinner at home, and no one else was invited.
On the 27th, Wang Jun's long holiday ended.
This is the focus of this round. People want to know whether Wang Jun and Carter can coexist. What level can the Nets play after Wang Jun returns? Should they rise strongly? Or will they continue to sink?
Wang Jun, Carter was in very good shape during training, and the coaching staff led by Lawrence was very satisfied. Korver was also in a very brave state. Although Jefferson was injured, the advantage of the Nets was still the swingman.
When his teammate asked Wang Jun how he was in good condition, he said the word "practice". He was basically not idle during the holidays.
Currently, his training level is 46, and his various data have improved.
The power is 71.7, which has remained unchanged for more than a year, and has finally risen by 0.1 recently. He doesn't know if it's because of the fight.
Flexible 41.9, up 0.2, his movements on the ball do not stretch like those super outside lines, and his direction changes are not fast enough.
The reaction was 59.8, with the most improvement. He guessed that it was because of the use of the explosion pill and the fight with the Speed Party.
Fighting with people can be more effective in practicing reactions. If you react slowly when playing ball, you will be over and off. If you react slowly when fighting, you will be kosher and suffer. People can stimulate their potential even more under pressure.
Unfortunately, this method of improvement cannot be used frequently, otherwise he would have to be suspended.
Speed 73, slightly improved.
The jump was 60.9, and the progress was very slow, and only 0.1 was added.
Endurance 79.5, no progress. This item has reached a bottleneck. It is already very outstanding and will definitely improve slowly.
If you lose weight, you may be able to improve it, and that consumption is less. However, Wang Jun doesn't want to lose weight anymore, because he is afraid that his strength will become weaker. He checked it online. It is most suitable for outside players to keep their weight between 95 kg and 100 kg. The strength and speed are not bad, and they are very balanced.
Carter is tall and weighs 100 kilograms. The reason why he is strong is that in addition to explosive power and jumping power, he also has a great control over his body because of his balance.
The Pistons are very fond of this game. They want to avenge their elimination last season. Their goal is to win the championship. In addition to the newly emerging Heat and the Pacers with the highest bid to win the championship, they are the Nets.
Although the Nets' performance is poor now, almost everyone believes that they will catch up in the second half of the time, but they don't know where to chase.
V5 live broadcast, Zhang Heli was amused when he saw the starting list: "Wang Jun was still on the starting list after his comeback, and he is irreplaceable to the Nets."
This is a common concern for fans. Many people left messages during CCTV5 live broadcast, fearing that the fight incident would not affect it well. The management of the online team gave Wang Jun a small shoe.
Yu Jia smiled and said, "Wang Jun is certain to start. Although Korver's three-pointer is good, other aspects are not good. I just don't know who will come off the game first today. I will be responsible for the substitute in the second quarter."
Carter had previously undertaken Wang Jun's task, playing 8 minutes in the first quarter, resting for 4 minutes and then leading a substitute in the second quarter.
Now that Wang Jun is back, the coaching staff wants to make new attempts. Let them separate and see who has stronger attack power.
The five starting players of the Nets: Kidd, Wang Jun, Carter, Costic, and Collins.
Kostic was in good shape during training, and he was reused by the coaching staff through his efforts, replacing the "White Mamba" Scala Bryan.
Collins starts every game, and the team needs his defense. He is one of the most alternative players in the league. He has scored the best career statistics this season, averaging 6 points and 6 rebounds per game. It is a mystery that many fans can't solve.
Pistons starter: Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rashid Wallace, Ben Wallace.
When Wang Jun appeared, he found something strange. He stood with Prince. Just glanced at the other party, Prince turned his head, as if he had "radiation".
Wang Jun is notorious, and Chinese fans gave him a new nickname called "Martial Saint". If you grow a beard, you will almost become a god. Everyone knows that Wang Jun is not easy to mess with, so the people who defend him are naturally under great pressure, and Prince is no exception, let alone that he is the most honest person in the Pistons' starting lineup.
Players are also beneficial to fight. With this reputation, there will be advantages when breaking through. If the opponent wants to commit a malicious foul on Wang Jun, you have to consider the consequences first.
Kostic won the jump ball, and the Nets attacked first.
When the big guy starts, someone can finally jump the ball.
Kidd passed to Carter, Kostici pulled to the outside pick-and-roll, and Collins also went to the side to cover Wang Jun, completely giving up the inside space.
Wang Jun had no objection to Lawrence's arrangement. During training, he saw Carter's strength. He was not only good at dunking or jumping shots, but also top-notch in dribbling and breaking through, and often knocking people down.
Wang Jun's dribbling skills are not the same as Carter. He lets him play pick-and-roll in the middle. Unless he faces a slow inside line, he can only make a quick stop and jump shot in one step most of the time. Carter can pass the opponent's layup or break through the ball. Of course, the coaching staff cannot ignore Carter's advantages.
In the Nets, I will definitely be the core of the team. Wang Jun, let’s see my strength.
Carter encouraged himself in his heart and broke through with the ball.
Rashid changed defense in time, and Carter dribbled the ball under his crotch and broke the left side, opening up space.
At this time, Collins covered Prince on the right side, and Wang Jun received the ball and attracted Da Ben to switch defense. If Kidd had controlled the ball, he would definitely pass it to Wang Jun. Whether he attacked or passed by himself, he would be misplaced.
Carter believes in his personal abilities more, and if he is not a teammate, he will generally not pass it.
Like Kobe, personal offense is his first choice.
Katra rose up, took a big step forward, and jumped up as he leaned on Rashid.
His body was very relaxed, and he reversed 360 degrees, and he bypassed the defender like a gyro, glanced at the basket, and grabbed the basket with his right hand in the air.
Not many people in the league can play this kind of action, and Jordan can't do it either.
This style of play is difficult to ensure hit rate, and Carter's performance is too strong.
This time he seized the opportunity. Prince, who was making up for defense, failed to cover it, and the ball hit the board and entered the basket. 2 to 0.
Away fans couldn't help but applaud the goal, and a slow-motion replay was given on the big screen of the stadium.
Zhang Heli shouted: "It's so stunningly bouncing. Carter's goal is like a juggling, and it's definitely the best five."
Yu Jia said: "I think the Nets will still be a strong team with Carter. As long as Jefferson returns, he will have a chance to defend his title in the playoffs."
The Pistons attacked, Kidd was responsible for the joint defense of the middle lane, Carter, Wang Jun on both sides, and the Nets.
As soon as Kostic enters the starting lineup, Wang Jun cannot defend himself from the low post, otherwise there will be obvious misalignment on the perimeter, and it is easier for the defender to rely on his skills to surpass the center.
Billups and Rashid pick-and-roll in the middle, Hamilton runs from the side, and Big Ben has no ball cover to get rid of Carter.
Billups moved one step, and the ball was passed to Hamilton, and Big Ben cut.
In just one round, you can clearly see the difference in defensive attitudes between Carter and Wang Jun. If it were Wang Jun, he would have stuck Big Ben with all his might, but Carter chased Hamilton and double-teamed with Collins.
As soon as he went out, Kostic could only return to the position to defend, and the distance was relatively long.
Hamilton gave Da Ben a back-loop ball, who received the ball and dunked it with one hand! 2-2.
Chapter completed!
