Chapter 719 [Unless a miracle happens]
Xia Baowen said that Swan will be responsible for contacting Wang Jun in the future and stay in Los Angeles most of the time.
Vivik believes that before he returns, the two sides are not suitable for getting too close, otherwise it will cause media suspicion and affect future plans.
Wang Jun is selfish when working as a consultant, and choosing outsiders is not as comfortable as choosing your own.
So he called Stephen Curry and asked him to do whatever he said this time and fight the NCAA. Curry knew Xia Baowen's brother and sister, but if his strength was not enough, he would not be able to choose him.
In the March NCAA Championship, against the quarterfinals of 16, Curry welcomed two special spectators, Wang Jun and LeBron James.
The game was held in Cleveland, and Wang Jun flew over to watch the game, while James looked for an opportunity to chat with Wang Jun.
Both were interviewed and James said: "Curry is a player I am willing to buy tickets to watch him play, he is excellent."
Wang Jun smiled and said, "He said he was my apprentice. How could I not support his game? I believe he will get better and better."
Curry did not disappoint their good intentions, scored 30+ in the third consecutive game in the championship, leading the Wolverines to defeat the University of Wisconsin 77-62, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
After the game, the two commented on the game respectively.
Wang Jun said: "In terms of shooting, I think Curry is no worse than me. He still needs to strengthen his physical strength. As long as he has excellent physical strength, he will become a star if he enters the NBA."
James also praised Curry's off-ball running. "His running position is excellent, reminding me of Wang Jun and Hamilton. The weakness of being weak is not too big. Even in the NBA, it is impossible for anyone to run with him all the time. No matter how big he is, it is useless."
It was too early to say that Curry must have become a star, but when the team had almost no rotation lineup, Curry led a group of shrimp soldiers and crab players to the quarterfinals in a game where he lost and went home, which was no less than anyone else.
Afterwards, the Wolverines lost to the Michigan State Spartans and missed the semi-finals.
In this game, the "Big Dog" Robinson scored 108 points in a single NCAA Championship created by Pudu University. Curry scored 128 points in four games.
The Cavaliers played continuously at home, and James watched the ball with Wang Jun again, greatly increasing Curry's exposure. Even if the Kings don't choose him, Curry's pick will definitely not be low due to his outstanding performance.
If the King is lucky enough to draw the No. 1 pick, there is no doubt that he will choose the inside player Blake Griffin.
Also eliminated in the quarterfinals, Griffin averaged 33.3 minutes per game, scored 22.7 points, 14.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals, and his shooting percentage was as high as 65.4%. He is known as the "White Warcraft", and his dunk highlights have become popular online. This is the person who is most concerned among rookies.
Even though Curry scored more points, his image made people feel that it was not so reliable.
After the game, James invited Wang Jun, Abby, Curry, and David Hornersek to dinner, and the friendship of the landlords was very interesting.
After eating for a while, James mentioned Wang Jun’s comeback. “Wang, where are you going to come back in the future? There is no outsider here, can you tell me about it? Is it possible to choose the Cavaliers?”
Wang Jun smiled and said, "I just retired, and you are also looking forward to my comeback? You should focus on competing for MVP, right?"
"Do you still need to fight? If you are not in the MVP, it must be mine." James said confidently.
The Cavaliers currently have the first record in the league, James has the first-rate efficiency value of 31.8, and the data has reached its peak. He is one-on-one and is unstoppable. Although he has the bonus of the crab step, his comprehensive skills must be recognized.
He scored second in the scoring list, averaging 28.3 points per game, 33rd in the rebounding list, 7.6 per game, ninth in assists list, 7.2, eighth in steals, 1.7. Blocks 32nd in 1.1.
James is all on the rankings in five important data, and three are ranked in the top ten, so he has reasons to be confident. His opponents are only Paul and Kobe, the former's record is not as good as him, while the latter's data is not as good as him.
Wang Jun shook his head and smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm going to let you down. I won't make a comeback soon. If I plan to make a comeback, I will definitely tell you."
"I really don't understand why you retired. At that time, as long as you endure it, you can fight well in the second half. The Bulls may not be able to catch up with it." James said regretfully.
Wang Jun nodded. "Yes, but you will be in trouble then. To be honest, I hope you will win the MVP, but I don't expect the Cavaliers to win the championship."
James frowned and sighed. This was like a curse, but it was true.
"Then what do you think the Knight is almost there now?"
Wang Jun thought for a while and said, "I personally feel that I am not as good as the No. 4 position that is good at defending the pick-and-roll. If you play as a power forward, you may be able to make up for it, but there are no vanguards who defend the opponent's core on the outside. Also, the Big Z is too slow, making a meat shield, protecting the penalty area is good. How do you play when you meet a team like Lakers?"
James moved his lips and said nothing.
How to fight? Just get beaten.
The Lakers beat the Cavaliers two times in the regular season, and all three insides can open up space. Once the inside is empty, Ilgoskas must defend himself.
It is difficult for him to defend Fisher to catch the ball, and he will definitely be overwhelmed in defense. If he doesn't go out, his opponent can shoot directly. Kobe attracts double teams or make up for defense and points, and his teammates can also play big or small or get open positions.
The Lakers' three-high inside line are good at defensive ends, fast movement, can defend against pick-and-roll, and block shots. They can also launch fast attacks with one pass, crushing the Cavaliers on the offensive end. In this case, it is useless for James to win Kobe alone.
James has commented on Wang Jun in recent years and his status has been widened, so he humbly asked for advice.
"Brother, you won three championships and are experienced. If I want to win the Lakers in the Finals, what do I need to play?"
"I happened to think about this question. Let Valejo starter be responsible for defense. He should be fine when defending Bynum. You are tired of being a little tired. You have to switch to the pick-and-roll."
"..." James' expression was a little funny.
Damn it's already hard to do this alone OK, Gasol is too tall!
The reality is so cruel. Guden will definitely not be able to defend Gasol. Valejo serves as the power forward and the mid-range shot is much worse.
Wang Jun also said: "The most important thing is the offensive end. When you play as a power forward, Valejo goes out to cover, and the formation will be completely opened. You are misplaced against Gasol. It is best to shoot outside. If you can't make a shot in the outside, you have to strive to break into the basket to attract double teams, or to fight back to attract double teams. Whether it's a break in the middle or a side pass, let your teammates shoot from the outside, and you may win."
David said with relief: "Wang, you really understand tactics now. These are indeed the problems of the knights."
Curry's eyes were shining with stars, and he looked admiring.
James complained wildly.
Is this a tactic? It is clear that both offense and defense are handed over to me. Win or lose depends on my performance?
Damn it! Isn’t this how the Knights usually fight?
"If Mo Williams beat Fisher, it would be a good choice, right?" James asked.
"Yes, but someone will definitely make up for defense when he breaks in. Is it better for him to pass the ball to the outside and you have three-pointers?"
Of course he is not as good as him. James sighed. If he had three-pointers were as accurate as Wang Jun, he would have been invincible. Not only did he not have three-pointers, but he would not have been very good on his back.
Unless a miracle happens, James will definitely have to hate the playoffs.
