Chapter 323 [Thirty+ in a Single Quarter, Playing Hooligans on the Court]
The 76ers attacked, Iverson used a screen to get rid of Wang Jun, broke through from the right, Collins switched defenses, and Vaughn retreated to double-team. Iverson distributed the ball to the outside, and McGee missed a three-pointer.
Last season, McGee averaged 43.6% of his three-pointers per game. At first glance, he was quite bluffing, like a super shooter, and his shooting percentage was much higher than that of Wang Jun. In fact, he averaged only 2.3 three-pointers per game, and he averaged one goal per game.
To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who doesn't shoot when there are no open spots. Only by shooting less can he guarantee his efficiency. This season, he can't even guarantee his efficiency.
Collis was easily blocked by Jefferson, Collins scored the rebound, and the Nets fought in position.
Wang Jun observes the position, goes to the left and plays a pick-and-roll with Collis, avoiding Collis. This is the side where the veteran Jackson is. After the pick-and-roll, the rest of the defense is too far away.
Wang Jun took a step sideways with the ball, paused slightly, and Jackson came out of defense, worried that he would make a direct shot.
Wang Jun held the ball in his right hand, took a quick shot when he saw the opportunity, passed it to his left hand to dribble, and took a big step with his left leg. The technical connection was perfect, and he passed Jackson with one step and went straight to the basket.
McGee let go of the "White Mamba" to defend. Originally, he was misaligned with the inside line, but this time he was completely empty. All he needed was a pass, and the "White Mamba" could shoot.
Wang Jun went to the left basket to get the ball and passed it in the direction of "White Mamba". McGee turned around quickly, trying to interfere with the big man's shooting, but found that "White Mamba" had no ball in his hand.
Wang Jun made a fake move, took the second step and passed McGee, took the ball and jumped up with all his strength, with a move of "turning back and looking at the moon", he dunked the basketball backhand with his right hand and scored. 23 to 16.
Barkley said with a smile: "In the future, some people will say that Wang Jun's physical fitness is not good, and his jumping ability is poor. It is best to look at this goal first, and think about how many people in the league can break through and dunk like this."
It's not a forced dunk. The movements are very stretched, and you must have a strong waist and abdomen. This is Wang Jun's strong point. His ability to stay in the air is very good now.
Of course, he didn't have this ability when he entered the draft. This is the reason for persevering in iron bridge training and "bounce training".
Wang Jun is 21 years old and his body is on the rise.
However, because of his style of play, Iverson started to decline a bit when he was just 30 years old. He was injured too many times, and even if he recovers later, he can't be as chic and comfortable as he was at his peak. Last season, he suffered from right knee contusion, right knee bonding, right index finger sprain, right shoulder contusion, right knee arthritis and right knee injury, and he missed nearly half of the season.
But after the pick and roll,
Iverson still made a brave breakthrough inside. Draws a blocking foul on Collins and goes to the free throw line.
After two free throws, 23 to 18.
Iverson also scored 14 points, swaying his talents on the court.
The Nets attacked, and the ball was still handed over to Wang Jun after halftime.
Smith sighed: "This is not a normal game. The Nets had the best teamwork last season and won by team basketball. Wang Jun's hand. Since the start of the game, he has averaged 30 shots per game, more than Kobe and Iverson. He also occupies the first place in the scoring list."
Barkley said with a smile: "This kind of game is more attractive to fans. I think Wang Jun should shoot 30. He is the boss of this team. He has the ability to score. He is better than Iverson in three aspects, shooting, power , defense. Of course, overall, Iverson is much better than him now."
Iverson is better than Wang Jun in game experience, ball-handling skills, speed, reaction, passing awareness, etc... But he can't defend well and can't limit Wang Jun's scoring.
"Which team do you like to win?" Smith asked.
"Nets." Barkley replied. He didn't like the 76ers. Although this is his first team.
The 76ers attacked, and Willie Green was responsible for dribbling the ball across the half. Iverson didn't look for the pick-and-roll again, and singled out Vaughn by catching the ball on the right.
Against the same little guy. Iverson's speed advantage is not so obvious. After changing the direction of the fake move, he made a sudden stop and made a jump shot, which missed under the interference.
Wang Jun retreated in the middle, stuck with Collis and took the backcourt rebound.
After halftime, the 76ers double-teamed Wang Jun. As soon as he got the ball, the nearby people immediately surrounded him, double-screened and then defended from the side, allowing others to shoot.
As a result, there were gaps in other positions, and Collins made an empty cut to the basket and scored an easy layup.
Soon, Korver made two three-pointers from the outside, and the fans of the 76ers were disappointed.
Korver and Jefferson are both tall and lag behind in overall physical fitness. He has only one ability better than Jefferson, and that is shooting.
Just looking at the three-pointer, he is even better than Wang Jun. There is no dead end in the half court. Wang Jun's three-pointer from 45 to 70 degrees on the left is not accurate yet.
The president of the 76ers, Billy King, knows Korver best. Last summer, he wanted to use cash to change Korver to the team, but the Nets did not change. Now he regrets it, and he would have added more chips if he knew it. After Wang Jun joined, Korver had no status in the Nets at all, and it was easy to exchange.
In order to defend Korver, McGee didn't dare to defend easily. Wang Jun only needs to cover and dribble the ball to Korver's side. He doesn't dare to double-team the bottom line. It's much easier. Iverson double-teams him. It mostly plays the role of scaring people, and it is difficult to interfere with shooting.
In 10 minutes, Wang Jun got rid of Collis with a screen, caught the ball in the middle and made a three-pointer, and Brian Skinner, who had just played, missed.
In the next round, Green missed a layup and the Nets counterattacked. Wang Jun misplaced and faced Bryan. He broke through with speed and caused a foul. He made two free throws.
On the last attack of the first quarter, Wang Jun held the ball on the outside to press time, and started to act in the last 7 seconds.
He dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, swayed his left shoulder slightly to the right, and took a light step to the right, attracting Collis to move laterally and then pull the ball up, step back and return to the middle, and shot a jumper.
Collis is tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He is 31 years old, but his condition has declined sharply. He couldn't keep up with Wang Jun's movements and failed to block the shot.
Wang Jun hit the buzzer and scored 31 points in a single quarter, leading the Nets to a 41-28 lead.
Barkley shouted: "Wang Jun is crazy. In the first quarter, he took 18 shots and made 10 shots. He made 5 of 10 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He almost broke the historical scoring record in a single quarter."
Smith sighed: "The 76ers' defense is too poor today. If they can't solve the problem on the defensive end, Wang Jun may break his personal scoring record of 55 points in a single game today. Apart from him, there is no second person who scored more than 50 points this year. .”
Both sides sent substitutes. Iverson, who scored 20 points in the first quarter, looked very ugly. Although he played very well, the team fell behind by double digits. In terms of statistics, he was also overwhelmed by Wang Jun.
What made the 76ers players and fans even more collapsed was that Wang Jun played in the second quarter without taking a break.
O'Brien was stunned. Is this playing the regular season as the finals?
He didn't make corresponding adjustments, so let the starters continue to play with Wang Jun? Iguodala, who has the best perimeter defense, is already on.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Jun relied on Krstic to get rid of Iguodala and hit a three-pointer. The substitute power forward Josh Davis was slow to switch.
O'Brien immediately wanted to pull out his phone and call the police.
Come on the police, someone is playing hooligans on the field! (To be continued.)
