Super Lord of the Rings

On the 6th, the Nets played back-to-back against the defending Bucks.

The Bucks have a record of 9 wins and 9 losses, and the Eastern Conference barely made it to the playoffs, ranking seventh, just overtaken by the Nets. The biggest highlight of the local media before the game was the confrontation between Mason and Wang Jun.

Mason played well this season, averaging 14.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

Wang Jun is even more eye-catching, averaging 16.5 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 48.1% from the field, 41.6% from the three-point range, and 90% from free throws.

Looking at the efficiency value, Wang Jun won the game.

The style of play is still better than Mason, so there are more fans who support Mason.

In the locker room, Lawrence talked to Wang Jun alone. "Wang, I'm going to arrange you to defend Mason. Don't fight him again. The Bucks are not a strong team, and you don't need to fight against a role player."

Lawrence thinks Mason is just a role player, not Wang Jun.

For the Nets, Wang Jun is already indispensable. Once he can't play, then there will be no important three-pointers, and it will be difficult to arrange a substitute. He is better at defending pick-and-rolls than Kittles.

The entire coaching staff hopes that Kittles will play less in the regular season, save his state for the playoffs, and ensure his health.

Wang Jun sighed: "As long as he doesn't retaliate against me, I will definitely not fight."

Kidd interjected: "If he moves a lot, I suggest you dive and let the referee call him a foul instead of you fighting back. The referee will definitely be watching you both today."

Wang Jun nodded, but didn't want to follow suit.

He felt that flopping was an act of a softie. If it was spotted by the referee or appeared in the highlight of the game, it would be very embarrassing.

Like rebounding king Dennis Rodman, the Bulls had a high popularity during their three consecutive championships. Wang Jun doesn't like him. Because whether this guy is defending big men or small men, he often displays his diving skills and enjoys it. He believes that this kind of "little man's behavior" is seriously inconsistent with his expected image.

It's ugly enough to break through with a crab step, at least on the defensive end he has to be close to Jordan in style.

Visiting team locker room. Bucks coach Terry Porter also talked to Mason. "Desmond, you must restrain your temper today. If you face Wang Jun, don't think about revenge. If you foul this time maliciously, the suspension will definitely not be one or two games."

Mason took a deep breath,

Suppressing the anger in my heart.

Wang Jun's elbow made him lose face, and the media publicized him as a bad player, and he was beaten to the hospital even if he failed. Many people on the Internet said bad things about him. Fortunately, there are not many Chinese in Milwaukee, otherwise the situation may be worse.

Mason is not an idiot, knowing that this fight cannot be decided with fists. He vowed to use his basketball skills to teach Wang Jun a lesson and try to get a dunk on him.

After warming up, players from both sides played.

Standing in the middle circle, Wang Jun and Mason were very quiet, they didn't say anything provocative, as if they didn't know each other.

Nets starting: Kidd, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Martin, Collins.

Bucks starters: Ford, Reed, Mason, Joe Smith, Daniel Santiago.

Seeing that there was a big man in the opponent's roster, Wang Jun felt that his chance in this game had come, and Kidd would definitely pass him a lot of balls.

Santiago is a Puerto Rican player, a frequent visitor to the national team, and tall. Weighing 116 kg, he is good at low-post defense and can also shoot mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll on the offensive end. He joined the NBA undrafted. Just joined the Bucks this season.

Let him start, Porter is mainly interested in his shooting ability, Nets scouts to his comments are very slow, poor pick-and-roll defense, the offensive end mainly relies on mid-range jumpers.

Santiago wins the jump ball and the game starts.

The players all pulled away to let Ford single out.

Just last week, after the Bucks played the 76ers, Iverson said Ford might be the only player in the league faster than him. This made Ford famous all at once, and his confidence soared.

Ford is faster than Kidd. A crotch dribble changed direction and rushed inside, Kidd just turned slightly. Did not keep up.

Ford, who was so successful, was too late to be happy, and he ran into Collins who was defending after taking a step forward. The latter fell to the ground, and the referee blew the ball into someone.

The Nets had studied Ford before the game and were on guard against his headless style of play.

The Nets attacked, Collins went to the side to cover Wang Jun, Wang Jun moved to avoid Mason.

With an extremely simple running position, Kidd was not under the pressure of being intercepted by Ford's defense at all. He turned his back to protect the ball and observed that Wang Jun passed the ball as soon as he got rid of it.

Before the game, Porter told Santiago to guard against it and not to be afraid of Collins' air cuts. Wang Jun caught the ball and he was too slow to throw it out.

Wang Jun made a 70-degree jump shot from the right, and the ball went into the net hollow without any interference. 3 to 0.

Wang Jun is getting more and more accurate when catching the ball in the open. For a player of his type, there is not much difference in attack difficulty and timing. The chances are good or bad, depending on the defense of the opponent's big man inside, not the person you are facing. No matter how good the player is, he will slow down when encountering a pick-and-roll.

This is what makes Mason feel depressed. He always feels that he is not playing against Wang Jun, which is unfair.

The Bucks attacked, and Wang Jun followed Mason and took a step away, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots.

Mason received the ball and lowered his center of gravity. With a light touch on his right shoulder, he quickly changed direction and went to the left. Wang Jun followed, accurately stuck the breakthrough route, and succeeded in close contact.

Mason gave a push and turned to the right, but was stuck by Wang Jun again and couldn't get through.

Wang Jun performed with ease. He is not at the same level as in the preseason. If Mason still only knows how to hit him a few times, then don't even think about getting past him.

His defense has improved.

When Kidd first taught him defense, although he knew the essentials, it was very jerky to use it on the court. After playing and training with his teammates during this period of time, he got used to man-marking lower body defense.

Observe the opponent's footsteps and judge the direction of movement. This defensive method has weaknesses, because the attention is on the person rather than the basketball. If the opponent responds to the pass or turns around and shoots directly, it is difficult to stop or block the shot.

Against Mason's poor shooting ability, relying on his body to play, and lacking the muscles of organizational ability, this defensive method couldn't be more suitable.

Mason turned around and missed the shot, so he had to pass the ball. Reid ran to catch the ball and shot, trying to return a three-pointer, but Martin interfered and missed it.

Collins grabbed the rebound and the Nets fell to the ground.

Wang Jun moved, and the person who changed defense became Joe Smith, which was much faster.

Kidd immediately pick-and-roll with Martin in the middle, get rid of Ford and suddenly right.

Santiago switched defenses to keep up. When Kidd was running to the bottom line, he stopped suddenly and changed direction.

Santiago was right under the basket, turned slowly, was staggered by Martin's dunk, and unfortunately became the background of the five best balls. 5 to 0.

The Bucks attacked, San Diego made a high pick-and-roll, Ford broke through with the ball, and just took a step, Kidd stabbed the basketball from behind.

Martin received the ball and passed it to the frontcourt. Kidd got rid of Santiago with a single fast break. After reaching the penalty area, he turned his head and glanced behind him. 7 to 0.

During the preseason, the two teams seemed to be fighting for each other, but now they are not at the same level at all. (to be continued)
