Chapter 465 [Overwhelm James, then cut 50+]

It is rare to be favored by experts, and Wang Jun is in a better mood. He was too disappointed to fight the Timberwolves before, so he was a little depressed.

It is difficult to score when playing against a strong team and playing against a weak team. It is easy to play against a weak team. When his teammates shouted, he couldn't help passing the ball. How can he compete for Kobe?

The Lakers just lost to the last Trail Blazers in the West away game. Kobe made 10 of 27 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 15 of 15 free throws, and scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

In this game, Kobe has expressed his determination. No matter how bad the touch is, he must shoot. No matter how many misses, he must get enough average scores. He will do whatever he wants to score.

The scoring champion is available every year, and the value is different.

In NBA history, only Jordan, Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Rick Barry and others have averaged 35+ per game in a single season. Jabbar, who ranks first in the total scoring list, has never averaged 35+ per game, with a peak of 34.8 points.

The last time someone scored 35+ was dated back to 1988. Jordan scored a terrifying 35 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks, and completed all of this. He averaged 24.4 shots per game and shot a 53.5% shooting percentage.

Therefore, averaging 35 points per game is particularly attractive to players. As long as they are done, they will be comparable to the legend and become a legend.

Kobe wants to reach 35+ per game, and Wang Jun also thinks that they are not only competing for the scoring champion.

After Theron finished his lifestyle, Wang Jun handed her a towel. "Charlie, it will be difficult for me to compete for the scoring champion without taking too many moves, but I may not be willing to play the coach randomly, and my teammates will also have opinions. How do I do it?"

Theron wiped his sweat and smiled and said, "It's very simple. Please communicate with the head coach and talk about your own ideas. It is beneficial to the team when you score the scoring champion. Jordan averaged 35 points per game. The gimmick is very good and will attract more Bulls fans. You attacked the regular season and changed the correct way of playing in the knockout stage? Anyway, you know that it's not unreasonable."

Wang Jun was stunned for a moment and nodded, "You are right. Communicating with the coach is the most direct way. I am almost stupid in training recently. I always want to play for a while..."

As long as Skeles can support Wang Jun, there will be no problem, and no one else can raise any opinions.

During the training the next day, Wang Jun chatted with Skeles and gave the prepared rhetoric.

Skeles immediately decided to meet Wang Jun's request, and then arranged double screens from inside and two pitchers by his side, so that he could score points with his heart's content.

Wang Jun didn't expect it to be so smooth and said curiously: "Coach, you agreed so easily, aren't you worried that the team's record will decline because of me?"

"Just because you are not afraid of your record declining, unless you make a long winning streak and your record exceeds the Pistons, you will have no impact in choosing your opponents." Skeles said with a wry smile.

"Why? Are we not the second in the East?"

"You have been in the third year of the league. Haven't you figured out the NBA competition system?" Skeles frowned and explained to Wang Jun a few words.

The regular season record of the East and West is not just about winning games. The three division champions have one advantage. They will automatically lock in the top three.

Wang Jun knew this rule, but he was all focused on the court. He ignored that the Bulls and Pistons were in the middle area.

As long as the Bulls fail to surpass the Pistons in record, even if they are only one win away, they must rank fourth in the East, thus confronting the powerful fifth in the East.

This competition system is very unfair. The Atlantic District where the Nets are located is currently composed of five bad teams. In addition to the Nets, playing four games in a season to enter the playoffs has reduced a lot of difficulty, and finally being in the top three.

If the Bulls reach fourth, the fifth-place team will be in trouble. In fact, they will face second in the Eastern Conference. Even if they pass by luck, they will have to challenge first in the Eastern Conference in the second round.

Now, the flawed competition has created the reason why the coaching staff is willing to let Wang Jun score points.

On March 2, the Bulls lost to the Clippers at home.

The Clippers traded in the mid-term, and Wilcox exchanged the Supersonics for the big three-pointer Radmanovich, and the team's lineup was more reasonable.

After leaving the inside, the Clippers can reuse Kaman without leaving any effort. Rand was released for the first time, and Kassel could be responsible for the offense. Radmanovic and Mobri pulled away, substitute Mageti and Livingston were also very strong.

The Clippers will definitely make it to the playoffs, and they will be able to make more points in this game, with five players scoring in double digits.

Wang Jun scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. The unlucky ones were Kaman and Radmanovic. Wang Jun misplaced them several times and scored.

After a day off, the Bulls will fight against the Cavaliers at home.

Theron went back to Los Angeles early. Not only to hide from Abby, she was going to attend the Oscars ceremony on March 6.

Although she did not accept a new film, "Never Concessions" had a great reputation after its release, and she was nominated for Best Actress in the Oscar.

Unfortunately, Wang Jun could not attend with her, even if there was no competition that day.

Both sides attach great importance to this game, depending on the record, the two teams may face each other in the first round. The Cavaliers had a poor record in the second half and lost many games. The Pacers lost O'Neal Jr. also had a decline in the record. The two teams seemed to be competing for sixth place and striving to play against the Nets.

Wang Jun was very active at the beginning, relying on double covers to shoot continuously from the perimeter, making 5 of 11 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points.

James scored 8 points and made 4 of 6 shots.

In the second quarter, Lol Deng defended James, and the "Little Emperor" began to transform into a blacksmith, and failed to make repeated attempts due to interference. James was afraid of meeting a defender who was tall and long, but was not afraid of confrontation.

In this quarter, Wang Jun beat Ronald Murray who was 193cm, scored 15 points in 8 minutes, scored another three-pointer, and caused a lot of damage, making all six free throws.

The Cavaliers have weaknesses. Ilgoskas moves slowly. Once James misses his shot, Wang Jun's counterattack is misplaced, and neither Murray nor Snow can withstand him.

The Cavaliers' substitute is not good enough and their scoring ability is poor.

The point guard Damon Jones signed with a long-term contract in summer can only be a substitute, and the Cavaliers have suffered a huge loss. Head coach Mike Brown is a coach who attaches importance to defense. He would rather start with veteran Snow than Jones.

In the third quarter, Wang Jun continued to show his power, and took the ball to catch the ball, took a single, and made a move, making five three-pointers. "Big Z" and Valecho were exhausted from defending the pick-and-roll. He shot with some chance, which was unreasonable.

The big center is most afraid of players like Wang Jun. The defender can block the shot when he breaks into the basket, and he can only defend himself if he shoots outside. He has a lot of room to dribble and may be passed.

James defended Wang Jun for several rounds and was more successful, and Louldeng missed two open shots from the outside.

Skeles immediately replaced Lolden and replaced Nosioni. Both the Argentinian and Hinrich made three-pointers and broke through the Cavaliers' defense.

Wang Jun scored 19 points in a single quarter, 47 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in three quarters, and the Bulls led 84 to 67.

In the last quarter, Wang Jun left the court for a while, but the Cavaliers failed to recover the score. "Big Z" was defended by Chandler. James beat Lorden one-on-one, and his shooting rate was also very low.

Wang Jun returned to the court after five minutes of rest, made a breakthrough layup in the counterattack, and once shook Alan Henderson to make a foul. He made both free throws, widening the gap to 26 points, locking in the victory.

James scored 30 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and performed well, but was completely overwhelmed by Wang Jun.

Wang Jun scored 51 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, scoring 50+ again!
