Chapter 68 [To be changed]
While the NCAA started the game, NBA has also started two months.
On November 17, 2002, before Yao Ming first played against the Lakers for the Rockets, "Big Mouth" Barkley made a bet with his partner Kenny Smith on the "Buckley Talk Show" program on US** TV.
He said that if Yao Ming could score 19 points in a game, he would kiss a donkey's butt. As a result, Yao Ming quickly made Barkley's dream come true, scoring 20 points from 9 shots with O'Neal absent.
Just 4 days later, Yao Ming faced the defense of the Mavericks' "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradry and scored a large double-double with 30 points and 16 rebounds, proving that he had a promising future.
At this point, Chinese basketball entered the golden period. Yao Ming helped the Chinese people. From the beginning, he was called "parallel goods" and gradually became famous.
The Chinese media's attention was all focused on Yao Ming, and they didn't know that there was a Chinese player playing NCAA. Therefore, Wang Jun's family and his younger sister Wang Leying knew nothing about him playing basketball.
This time, when he called home, his aunt advised Wang Jun not to be too tired when working and take good care of himself. He sent back 10,000 yuan a month, and his family felt that he had been very successful in the United States, and his uncle and cousin changed their attitude.
Wang Jun and her cousin Song Ting chatted for a while, and she asked questions about the United States.
She is just a girl in the second year of high school, a little vain and a little willful. Wang Jun bought a foreign brand of clothes and sent them back to her as a gift, and she was so happy that she was not a bad person in essence.
After arriving in the United States, Wang Jun met some new friends, and his EQ became higher. He understood one of the reasons why he and Le Ying were not popular.
They can’t play anything, they live a gloomy life every day, and the whole family becomes "low pressure". Little girls like passion and play, who would want to have an obese and dull worker cousin?
After chatting with Theron, Wang Jun decided to become more confident and sunny.
After the training, Wang Jun found David alone and suggested: "Coach, I thought of a way to solve the recent downturn, but you need to arrange tactics for me."
David asked, "How do you want to fight?"
"I hold the ball with Chris and Bobby plays pick-and-roll. If the opponent is strictly guarded, I will pass the ball and run the position. This will make it easier to make an empty cut. If the opponent switches defense slowly in the interior, I can directly take action at mid- and long distances."
David had already arranged for me to win the championship without the ball cover. He was responsible for important tasks in the team. Now he wanted to increase the number of shots, which was Harris's job.
David was surprised to see Wang Jun actively asking for the ball. "Are you confident of holding the ball and getting rid of it? If the opponent goes forward to double-team, can you protect the basketball?"
Wang Jun nodded. "I am confident that I have been practicing basic skills in dribbling every day for several months. I will not be easily cut off when I fight with them in the team. I am very skilled, but the first step is not fast enough."
Seeing the glitter in Wang Jun's eyes, David realized that he was different from his son Jeff Hornersek.
Jeff is known for shooting. Whether in the Suns or the Jazz, he is not the one who takes the ball offense. 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 is hard to imagine that a few months ago he was a person who was too amateur to be no longer amateur. When he asked him to dribble the ball, he would immediately shake his head and say that he could not do it.
Wang Jun's ambitions have expanded too quickly. However, David likes them. In addition to asking Wang Jun to try to play the ball, he can't think of a way to adjust and make the team better.
In the ninth game, the Wolverines played against the University of Iowa Hawkeyes at home, without superstars, and their overall strength was average.
David changed his tactics a little. "Wang Jun received the ball on the outside, played the pick-and-roll with the ball, paid attention to double screens in the inside, Chris was in the high position, Bobby was on the side. Wang could pass the ball or choose to shoot. Others had free space to shoot boldly outside the three-point line, Gordon and Mike, to your most accurate position, stand and don't run around, and ensure efficiency at the empty space."
The two like to run, but often run to positions where they are inaccurate in shooting and do useless work.
They are unwilling to be a fixed-point pitcher, especially Harris, the person who is responsible for holding the ball. But the coach arranges, what can he say? Since he can't ensure efficiency with the ball, he should try other ideas.
They are different from Wang Jun. Wang Jun has long dared to shout out the slogan of participating in the NBA draft, but they have never thought about this issue and it is impossible to be selected to participate.
Hawkeye coach Wayne Powell's arrangement is like other teams that deal with the Wolverines, compressing defense and defending Wang Jun on the periphery at one point, and the Mountains won the game, setting a good example for them.
Players from both sides have appeared.
Wolverines starter: Gordon, Wang Jun, Harris, Bobby, and Carman.
Hawkeye starters: Andy Stella, David Isaac, Ian Kelly, Gary Brooke, Christian Hobbs.
The Hawkeyes' main scoring points are on the outside, and the two strong men in the inside are defensive blue-collar workers. Hobbs can fight Kaman alone, so head coach Wayne believes there is a chance to win.
Kaman won the jump ball and the game began.
Gordon gave the ball to Wang Jun in half, and he received the ball 60 degrees on the right.
In the first few games, Wang Jun would take action immediately at this position, or pass the ball out, and his playing style was very single. As a starting player, his chance of committing fouls was pitifully low.
The opponent understands his characteristics, so he is ready to interfere with the shooting one step away, giving him plenty of room to dribble.
Kaman pulled to the outside pick-and-roll and blocked Isaac. Wang Jun took the ball and walked into the middle, but Hobbs did not save the three-point line. Wang Jun got rid of the three-point line and stopped and jumped in the middle three-point line.
Take action! Take action boldly!
Wang Jun kept encouraging himself, he wanted to change!
He only had a basket in his eyes and had no other choice.
The shooting timing was not particularly good. Ian came up to block the block from the side, but Wang Jun did not hesitate from the emergency stop to the attack. Soon, he avoided the block and the ball bounced into the frame. 2 to 0.
The Hawkeyes attacked, and both insides pulled out to cover to help the outside to catch the ball. Ian received the ball and made a three-pointer, and the ball bounced out.
Wang Jun stuck Gary, the opponent's thinner power forward, and took the backcourt rebound with his body, holding it in his arms. As soon as Kaman went out, he went into the basket to grab the rebound, which was very active.
Rebounding is also data, he wants to make his data more beautiful.
In the positional attack, Gordon led the half, Wang Jun first ran to receive the ball under the cover of Carman on the side without the ball, and then picked and rolled Bobby in the middle.
The double pick-and-roll helped him get rid of Isaac completely, and he skillfully dribbled the ball to 60 degrees on the right.
Hobbs chose to switch defense, but Wang Jun did not pass the ball immediately. He lowered his center of gravity and broke through with the ball.
The tall players can block his passing route. He doesn't want to go beyond his power, just to shake out the space for passing. His speed is slow on the outside, and it is much faster than the strong meat shield Hobbs.
Wang Jun pulled a half-step away, passed the ball half-high into the middle, and used a little less force. Fortunately, Kaman realized that he would pass, and cut in time and space to catch the basketball. He started with the trend, squeezed Isaac with his right hand and scored. 4 to 0.
When returning to defense, Kaman and Wang Jun clapped their hands, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.
Chapter completed!
