Chapter 944
The Bulls attacked, David Lee and Collison picked and rolled from the side, received the back pass, feinted on the right, and broke through Carroll with the ball.
Gobert made up the defense. David Lee leaned against Gobert under the basket and passed the ball from his side to the left with his right hand. Split dunked the ball with both hands and scored. 2 to 2.
The Kings attack, Wang Jun catches the ball in the backcourt and brings it to the frontcourt. Waiting for his teammates to pull away, he singles out in the middle.
Against a second-year rookie, teammates believe he doesn't need a screen unless the opponent adopts a double-team strategy.
Wang Jun continuously dribbled the ball under his hips, took a small step to the right with his right foot, which attracted Antetokounmpo to move sideways in small steps. He dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand and retreated.
He paused slightly, held the ball in his left hand, moved his right hand closer, and made a "bow to Buddha" fake move. Antetokounmpo took a big step forward to interfere with the shot.
Wang Jun dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it over to his right hand, changing direction to the right. His consecutive fake moves made Antetokounmpo lose his center of gravity and sit on the ground.
In the right corner, Split let go of Covington to cover up the defense. At this time, just passing the ball was an opportunity, and everyone knew it.
Wang Jun swatted the ball toward the bottom corner with his right hand. It looked like a ground pass. Split quickly turned around, trying to interfere with Covington's shooting as much as possible.
After turning around, he found that Covington didn't have the ball in his hand.
Wang Jun rubs the ball with his wrist, a kind of falling method similar to that used in table tennis. If he exerts the right force, he can make the ball bounce back. He often did this during training with the team, and the ball bounced back to his hands after lightly touching the ground.
Split was also knocked unconscious. Wang Jun caught the rebound ball and made an emergency jumper. No one interfered, and the ball hit the net. 4 to 2.
Yu Jia shouted: "This is an action on the street court. Wang Jun was very relaxed at the beginning and played the ball into the basket."
Zhang Lili praised: "Now Wang Jun can score no matter how unreasonable his shot selection is. All his teammates have to do is give it to him."
The Bulls attacked, David Lee took the ball in the high post after the pick-and-roll, faced Curry, and scored steadily in the mid-range shot. 4 to 4.
Today, the Bulls' outside lineup is tall. Wang Jun cannot defend in the middle. Dunleavy is also 206cm tall and plays small forward. This is not something Curry can guard.
Dislocation is also the Bulls' magic weapon to win.
The king attacks,
Curry brought it to the frontcourt and passed Wang Jun, and the players all moved away.
As before, Wang Jun dribbled the ball from his hips to the right twice. He thrust his right shoulder and changed the direction to his left hand. Antetokounmpo moved sideways to keep up with him. His steps were a bit big. Wang Jun dribbled the ball behind his back to his right hand again. , followed the trend and stepped back out of the three-point line, shooting a fadeaway jumper.
Antetokounmpo's center of gravity shifted and before he could take off, Wang Junqiu threw the ball and hit the net. 7 to 4.
The Bulls attacked, and after the pick-and-roll, Collison dribbled the ball to the baseline, circled around to attract Gobert's defense and sent it to the center. David Lee made an air cut to catch the ball and scored a layup. 7 to 6.
Curry was brought to the frontcourt and continued to feed Wang Jun. Antetokounmpo changed his defensive method and chose to stay close, hoping to use his long arms and strength to prevent Wang Jun from breaking through.
As a result, Wang Jun turned around and made a "big loop", bumped into Antetokounmpo's arm and threw the ball casually. The referee blew the whistle and the thug fouled.
Antetokounmpo is inexperienced, and it is too easy for him to get fouled with his long arms stretched out.
Wang Jun made two free throws, 9-6.
The Bulls' head coach this season was replaced by Mark Jackson, the former Warriors coach, who is strong in offense and weak in defense. He made full use of David Lee, Augustin, Collison and others, but there was no improvement in defense.
If the coaching style wasn't flawed and the Warriors management knew Jackson couldn't lead the team to a championship, they wouldn't have replaced him with Steve Kerr from the Spurs.
Jackson knew Antetokounmpo couldn't be guarded, but he didn't make timely substitutions or let the players on the field change defenses. Dunleavy's defense was terrible. Collison was 183cm tall, and it was impossible to guard Wang Jun.
The Bulls played at a fast pace. Collison distributed the ball. David Lee misplaced Curry and turned for a layup. It missed due to Gobert's interference. Wang Jun retreated to protect the backcourt rebound.
His rebound count is around 5 all year round, and his actual level is higher. It's just that when he leaves the Nets, rebounding is no longer his main task. A player who is versatile must also have a bias, and he prefers to score.
The pass was passed to Curry across half court. Wang Jun went to the frontcourt to catch the ball. The Bulls began to double-team, and Dunleavy let go of Carroll.
Here we go again, once double-teamed, the game becomes unplayable. How can I get high scores?
Wang Jun was grumbling in his heart. He saw the space at a glance and quickly moved the ball away with both hands. There are not many players in the league who are extremely reluctant to assist like him. Many people want to assist but can't.
Carroll ran to the left corner and hit an open three-pointer, 12-6.
There was no one to cover up, and the ball scored easily. David Lee stood not far away and followed Gobert, preparing to grab the rebound without any awareness of switching defenses.
David Lee has 20+10+3 in consecutive years. If he could defend the pick-and-roll better, he would be a perfect power forward. Unfortunately, until now, he still can't defend defenders from breaking through, and he often misses people, which is below average. Under normal circumstances, players will choose to rotate instead of standing and watching.
The Bulls attacked. After several passes, Antetokounmpo caught the ball in the low post and singled out Wang Jun to turn around and shoot.
Wang Jun didn't jump or turn his head to see if the ball would go in. He immediately started a fast break.
The ball went in, and when Antetokounmpo clenched his fists to celebrate that he had hit Wang Jun, Wang Jun was already about to hit him. This is also experience. Gobert quickly sent the baseline ball, and Curry passed a long pass to Wang Jun.
Wang Jun caught the ball and met Dunleavy in a misplaced position. Without any fake moves, he lowered his center of gravity and changed direction. He successfully made a one-step pass and scored with his left hand.
14 to 8, personal 11th point.
The Bulls players began to move without the ball. Dunleavy and Split received the pass from the side in a pick-and-roll, attracting a defensive switch and passing it to Split, who was cutting from the baseline. The Brazilian center fouled Gobert and made two free throws. 14 to 10.
Wang Jun caught the ball in the backcourt. Antetokounmpo was frightened when he saw it and didn't dare to go up and get close to him. The distance was too far outside, and Dunleavy didn't dare to double-team again. That was just giving away points.
Wang Jun dribbled the ball from his crotch to the back and took a step to the left. Antetokounmpo moved sideways. As soon as his right foot landed, Wang Jun changed his move, lowered his center of gravity, and quickly slapped the ball through his crotch with his left hand. , the man and the ball passed away.
Split was on defense, and Wang Jun pulled the ball up. He jumped with both feet in an instant, turned 360 degrees and passed Split, turned left to right, picked up the basketball with his right hand and scored.
16 to 10, personal 13th point.
There was nothing Split could do about this ball. A foul would definitely be called upon touching it. Jackson couldn't withstand the opponent's attack and finally requested a timeout.
Zhang Lili sighed: "It's so exciting. This is completely a personal performance. Wang Jun opened the game with 13 points and 1 assist."
Yu Jia laughed and said: "If the Bulls can't guard him, it's impossible to win the game. Wang Jun will probably have 20+ points in a single quarter again. This happens to other players occasionally. Wang Jun's performance is normal."
Jackson replaced Antetokounmpo and brought on TJ Warren instead of Mirotic or Casspi as usual.
The Bulls' swingmen are all too tall, lack a core defensive core, and are good at shooting with their height advantage. The veteran Hinrich has an obvious strength disadvantage and is also slow in pace. He has a dead end against Wang Jun and can only let the rookie try.
Seeing the misery of his teammates, Warren's heart was in his throat when he came on the field. He felt like he was ordered to make a winning shot in a critical situation.
He's going to be miserable!
