Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 145 [Preseason Premiere]

Wang Jun closed his eyes and started drawing prizes.

After a while, the system prompts: "I got a rebound card three, and it has been moved to the warehouse."

Hell, it's rebounding training again, doesn't the system know that the host is an outside line?

Wang Jun felt helpless.

He worked hard to lose weight in order to become a classic No. 2, a star who focuses on shooting, breakthroughs, and points, just like Michael Jordan.

The second part of the confrontation training was drawn out, and the rebound training cards were all up to three, what's the matter? Let him develop in the direction of Barkley?

Wang Jun went into the warehouse to look at the props, and found that they were different from Ka 1 and 2. The previous rebounding training was just to remind him of the positioning action, take-off time, etc. during the game, and the card three is more useful.

Rebound training card 3: Visual connection training system, enter the virtual shooting mode, assist the host to judge the direction of the basketball pop-up, prompt the best time to grab the rebound, and train the host's reaction speed and bounce. Accumulated three hours, can be automatically closed.

Wang Jun doesn't plan to practice right away. What the team needs most from him is definitely not rebounding, but shooting.

a week later...

Wang Jun's position in the team has become stable, and he will definitely be an important rotation player in the new season.

Not only Kidd has a good impression of him, but the coaching staff is also very satisfied with Wang Jun. The first assistant coach Franco Lawrence also suggested that he should start. Jefferson is mobile enough to guard against shooting guards, and Wang Jun can deal with strong strikers.

But Scott wants Wang Jun to play as a substitute. He is a star fanatic, and he will feel uncomfortable if he does not use a mature starter.

Win the championship? Scott didn't seem to have thought about it at all. After losing last season, he was expressionless and seemed like a normal person, otherwise Kidd wouldn't have had conflicts with him.

It's no wonder that Kidd, who has a strong desire to win, will get angry. Any fool can see that the Nets can't win the championship with the original lineup, and they may not even be able to beat the Pacers and Pistons this season.

After discussing with the assistant coaches, Scott insisted on his own opinion. This arrangement is more like a counterattack against Kidd to maintain the authority of his head coach.

The training camp ended on October 3, and the whole team rested. On the 6th, the Nets began to warm up for the preseason game.

The first opponent, the Nets chose the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wang Jun saw the famous Bradley Center visiting team locker room, which is why players hate playing away games in the Bucks.

The design of the locker room is very strange. You have to go through the bathroom to get to the players' wardrobes. The players' changing rooms are very spacious.

Because the humidity is too heavy, the smell in the room is very strange, as if something is moldy or rotten, which is an unbearable smell. It is said that Pat Riley came to Milwaukee to play an away game, and he would not enter the visiting team's locker room even if he was killed. He either went to the field or wandered in the corridor.

Before the start of the game, Scott once again rejected Kidd's suggestion and made the starting lineup: Kidd, Kittles, Jefferson, Martin, and Mourning.

Mourning, who returned from kidney disease, actually played in the preseason and started.

Although this was the meaning of the uniform team, Scott did not raise any objections, even though the team doctor's suggestion was to let Mourning rest as much as possible.

On the Bucks side, the starting five are: TJ Ford, Mike Allred, Desmond Mason, Tim Thomas, Joe Smith.

Ford was a rookie in 2003, and he started with the Bucks. Relying on his amazing speed, his breakthrough is very sharp.

Joe Smith won the jump ball. As the No. 1 pick in 1995, even if he was reduced to a homeless man working around, he could still play some role and his quality was very strong.

The Bucks picked and rolled, Ford broke through with the ball, and the Nets' defense immediately became open.

Mourning's lateral speed is too slow now, and he can only be used as a meat shield. Ford passed him with an acceleration and scored an easy layup.

In the next round, Mourning couldn't come out in the low post, Ford scored the ball, and Thomas made another three-pointer from the left.

Thomas is a different type of power forward. He is 208cm tall but likes to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Don't get into the basket easily. Mourning's defensive role can't be played.

Reed is a strong No. 2. His specialty is throwing three-pointers. Joe Smith can also make a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll misalignment in the middle. The Bucks' offensive formation is very wide.

Kidd defends Reed, and the Bucks cooperate in the middle; he defends Ford, and Reid can directly rely on his body to force Kittles.

After playing for 6 minutes, the Nets misfired on the offensive end, and couldn't defend, and fell behind by 13 points. Kidd, Jefferson, and Mourning all felt nothing.

The Nets sent Collins and Wang Jun to replace Kittles and Mourning.

Before playing, Kidd called Wang Jun to his side and passed on his experience: "Wang, Mason has won the slam dunk title. He has strong physical fitness and average shooting ability. He prefers to cover the basketball with his back, squeeze the opponent and turn around and break through. You His strength may be a little worse than him, I suggest you not to get close to him, keep a distance from him, and prevent breakthroughs or shots."

"thank you, I know now."

Kidd patted Wang Jun on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, play at a normal level."

Finally playing, Wang Jun took a deep breath.

The opponent is very strong, and defending Mason is already taking care of him, otherwise he will have to defend the outside core Reed.

He must seize the opportunity to impress the coach in order to get more playing time.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun ran to the right corner, and Collins stood to the side to help Wang Jun get rid of Mason and run up the line.

Martin was in the low position on the left side, and Kidd was on the outside relying on Ford to protect the ball and did not find cover. As soon as Wang Jun got rid of it, the ball was passed to him immediately.

The most inconspicuous person on the field is Wang Jun. Thomas is not active in changing defenses this time.

He inhales the ball and jumps up, his movements are smooth, his posture is very beautiful, his shots are quick, and he doesn't stay in the air for long. This kind of shot is very difficult to block, the ball draws a beautiful high arc, hollow into the net, brush! 10 to 20.

The Bucks attacked, and the inside line also pulled out to the outside. The two teams played similarly.

When Collins is on the court, there is no obvious weakness in the pick-and-roll switch, and his movement speed is very fast.

Wang Jun followed Mason and kept a distance.

Martin switched defenses and followed closely. Ford had no chance to break through and gave Reed the ball. Reed was stuck by Jefferson and passed the ball to Mason.

Mason was obviously overfitting, and he didn't practice yoga, so he trained his muscles to death. When he shot, his movements were very stiff, and he missed a dry jumper, and Martin grabbed the rebound.

It was a very smart choice for Kidd to let Wang Jun prevent the breakthrough shot. Let Mason shoot the ball, and the shooting rate is lower than others.

He has considered very comprehensively, maybe he can be a coach now.

When the Nets attacked, Wang Jun ran without the ball and tried to get rid of it with strength. Mason, who is 196cm tall and weighs 101kg, is indeed superior in strength.

The explosive power of black players is very strong, which is a natural advantage. Mason's physique can still walk like flying, and can easily make 360-degree turns and dunks, crotch dunks and other actions.

Wang Jun asked Collins to cover without the ball, and ran to get rid of Mason.

This time he chose to cut inside, and Joe Smith hurriedly switched defenses.

Wang Jun ran from the right to the left corner to attract the defense. Kidd gave the ball to Martin. After the pick-and-roll, the latter made an air cut in the middle, squeezed Ford away, and dunked with both hands to score! 12 to 20.

The Nets offense finally opened up.
