Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 124 [War Knight]

"Hi, Wang Jun, here you are." During lunch, Wade saw Wang Jun in the restaurant and raised his hand to greet him.

Surprised by his enthusiasm, Wang Jun stretched out his right hand and shook Wade's hand firmly. "Long time no see. Dwayne, I really didn't see you after I played last time."

"I know you were distracted at the time, it doesn't matter." Wade patted Wang Jun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Dining together? I know you best here, and we will cooperate well during the game."

"OK."

After seeing the arrogance of Anthony and Milicic, Wang Jun thought that Wade would not give him any good looks, and it was possible that his nostrils were turned upside down.

Now Wade took the initiative to show his favor, which made him feel very at ease.

The two ate western food and chatted about the game tonight. Wade expressed his willingness to pass the ball to Wang Jun.

"Although your shooting percentage was very low in that game, the coach asked us to guard you all the time before the game and not let you get open. It is because of your strength that we will pay attention. If the Cavaliers are not strict in defense, I believe you will put The ball goes in."

Wang Jun smiled and said: "I also believe that you can break through and successfully attract the defense."

Kaman hates Wade to the bone, but Wang Jun can't avoid Wade's pass because of his friend...

The atmosphere was harmonious, and Wade played a key guiding role. Born in poverty, he is the head of the kid, much more mature than his peers, and even less airy.

After his parents divorced, they rarely cared about Wade. He was brought up by his sister. Wade in high school was a dim star compared with Anthony and James. A youth training camp sponsored by a sneaker brand.

After graduating from high school, Wade, who had poor grades, only received notifications from three universities. Wade ultimately chose Marquette, but he spent a year on the bench because his grades weren't up to par, an encounter that made him even more stoic.

It can be said that Wade is a person who hides his strength and bides his time, and has a deep city. He will be a person, words and actions, and it is even difficult for the media to catch pigtails.

Wang Jun also became self-reliant very early on and would not hold grudges over a game.

After a meal, the two got in touch and agreed to join forces to fight against the "little emperor" who was destined to become a superstar before entering the league.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Cavaliers VS Heat kicked off, and the largest coast arena in Long Beach welcomed 10,000 spectators, and the audience was full.

The coaches responsible for taking the Heat to the preseason are Bob McAdoo and Ron Rostern.

The 43-year-old McAdoo is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame. In the player era, he played for the Buffalo Braves, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and other teams, won two championships, was selected as an All-Star five times, and Elected the best rookie, regular season MVP, European League Finals MVP.

Rostern is 61 years old this year. After the Heat established and joined the NBA in 1988, he was the team's first head coach. He left the team after serving as the head coach for three years. In 2000, Rostern returned to the Heat as an assistant coach.

MSG TV broadcasted live, and the famous commentator Mike Breen watched the game on the spot. During the warm-up, he introduced the "grievances" between Wang Jun and Wade in the NCAA, and said with a smile: "The two were chatting and joking on the sidelines, and the relationship is not as bad as the media predicted."

Partner Matthew Mode said: "Wade must want to prove that he is not indifferent to being selected with the fifth overall pick. James can't afford to lose. This is his first NBA game."

Brin looked at the list. "Wang Jun started. The Heat want Wade to play point guard. Their positions do not overlap. The other three are Matt Barnes, Udonis Haslem, and Lauren Woods."

At the players' bench, Ron finally emphasized the tactics. "Udonis picks and rolls for Devine in the middle, Lauren screens for Wang to escape from the side, and Wang runs from the bottom corner and the side to find opportunities. Dewayne can attack by himself, attract the defense and then divide the ball. The defensive end is 122 zone defense... ..."

This is Wang Jun's familiar style of play.

The fly in the ointment is that he is responsible for the perimeter when defending, and the coach will not take care of him like David.

Fortunately, there are three defensive blue-collars playing together this time, and Wang Jun only needs to defend Kapono.

Haslem was an undrafted rookie last year. He played in the French league for a season and managed to lose more than 30 kilograms. He looks like a normal person.

Now he is back in the NBA and is expected to get a contract. Because he used to rely on strength to play, the positions he is familiar with at 203cm are center forward and power forward.

Barnes was also miserable. Although he was selected by the Grizzlies at No. 46 last season, he was traded to the Cavaliers but failed to get a contract. He was directly waived and had to play exhibition games. He hopes to earn a minimum salary through summer league this year.

Center Lauren was a second-round rookie in 2001. He is a big man with 216 cm. His offense is terrible, and he is satisfied with getting a basic salary.

The Cavaliers lineup is top pick LeBron James with a group of role players.

High center Bralo-Sandev, a Croatian with a height of 218cm, was an undrafted rookie.

Gerani McCoy, a power forward with a height of 208cm, was a rookie in 1998. Now he has no ball to play and is forced to participate in the summer league to express himself.

The second-round rookie Kapono is also an acquaintance with Wang Jun.

The point guard is Martin Cliffs, a rookie with the 14th overall pick in the first round of 2000. He played for the Pistons and Kings before, and his performance is not worthy of the pick.

Compared with the gorgeous stage of the NBA, the summer league is a place for hanging wires. The rules of the summer league are roughly the same as those of the NBA regular season. The biggest difference is that players are sent off after 10 personal fouls, instead of 6 times in the regular season.

In fact, this place is more cruel than the NBA. There are hundreds of people who play on the summer league platform every year, but very few can get contracts.

These undrafted and fringe people have tried their best and gone through honing, just to get a job in the NBA.

The Cavaliers jump ball wins and the game begins.

James immediately sprinted down and Martin passed him the ball.

It is rumored that James' 100-meter speed is 10.4 seconds. He showed inhuman physical fitness in the opening game. Barnes turned around a little slower and was thrown away.

James caught the ball and drove straight in, jumped up in two steps, and dunked the ball with one hand. 0 to 2.

Haslem didn't dare to make up the defense. Both of them were 203cm tall. James rushed unstoppably, his head level with the basket.

All the fans applauded.

"At the beginning of the game, James turned the arena upside down!" Brin shouted: "This dunk is so beautiful, it can score five goals."

Moder also said loudly: "Wade took the ball to the frontcourt and went straight to the pick-and-roll, are you going to return one? He split the ball..."

Wade got rid of Martin and Gerani and rushed to the basket by relying on speed dislocation, and attracted 218CM Bralo to return to the defense. At this time, Wang Jun and his teammates ran without the ball from the side to get rid of Kapono, and the bottom corner was completely empty. .

Wade knew that Wang Jun had a strong shot and immediately passed the ball.

Wang Jun did not disappoint him. He took a breath to take the ball, bent his knees and jumped up lightly. With standard shooting movements, the ball left his fingertips and entered the net hollowly. 3 to 2.

"Good pass!"

"Beautiful shot."

Both Wang Jun and Wade gave each other thumbs up when they returned to defense.
