Super Lord of the Rings

In the fifth game, the Nets challenged the Bulls away.

At noon, Wang Jun left the hotel and went to a famous restaurant in Chicago to eat chicken deep dish pizza with barbecue sauce. He fell in love with this special food after tasting it with Abby last time.

The delicious food made him feel better. When eating, he found a corner where no one was around, and quietly thought about how to play the game at night.

Last season, the Bulls were at the bottom of the record. Although there were injury factors, this season center Eddie Curry and guard Jamal Crawford have all been sent to the Knicks. Currently, the Bulls are the youngest team in the league. , the newcomer is in charge.

Only blue-collar power forward Osaila Harrington joined the nba in 1996, and the other two veterans, Adrian Griffin and Piakowski, were role players.

Except for these three, Chandler was the second pick in 2001, and everyone else was a first- and second-year rookie.

The core of the Bulls is Hinrich, who is at the same level as Wang Jun, and he didn't make the All-Rookie team last season. This time, he couldn't lose no matter what.

Whether it is a three-game losing streak or losing to Hinrich, it will make him unhappy.

In the previous four games, the atmosphere in the Nets locker room was very strange. The players were busy with their own activities and rarely communicated. Only Wang Jun, Korver, Collins and others talked a lot, and Jefferson rarely spoke.

There is no leader, Kidd is not around, old players have just arrived, and Wang Jun does not speak up to boost morale because of his young age. The two captains of the team are Kidd and Jefferson, not him.

Today, after entering the locker room and seeing that his teammates were still in disarray, Wang Jun finally couldn't help but speak.

"Everyone, there is still some time before the game. Please listen to me." Standing in the middle of the locker room, Wang Jun clapped his hands and said loudly.

Everyone's attention was attracted, because it was the young player in the team who spoke. Everyone wants to hear what he has to say.

Because he is the core on the court, no one thinks this is unexpected.

"Everyone is older than me, so I waited for someone to speak up in the first two games. But no, Kidd is not here. I think I have to say a few words. If there is something wrong, I can point it out. I hope everyone understands. I’m a very straightforward person, and I can’t say anything fast.”

No one spoke up. The two coaches, Larry Drew and Lawrence, just arrived at the door. They had a tacit understanding and didn't go in. They were listening to Wang Jun outside.

Wang Jun looked around.

Said loudly: "We have lost two games in a row, this time we can't lose again. I know it's very difficult now, not the strongest lineup, but we lost the first two games very easily. I don't think it's terrible to lose. The terrible thing is to relax. If we played with a desperate attitude, we would never lose so badly."

Still no one interrupted, everyone thought that Wang Jun was just like Eric Williams said at the press conference, with eyes like a tiger. It would be more similar if he had the word "king" on his head.

Wang Jun went on to say: "We played too softly in the first two games, with very few fouls, especially against the Suns. They made cuts and breakthroughs very sharply, yes, but do we want to watch them layup easily? We can foul, Hard fouls, like the Pistons, the Pacers. They can shoot from the outside, but if they want to get in the paint, they have to be prepared to be pulled down."

No one was dissatisfied, because what Wang Jun said was reasonable, and they did not commit many fouls.

Wang Jun took a deep breath. He also said: "Maybe someone will ask, you don't have many fouls. I want to foul, but the team needs me to attack. I must control the number of fouls and stay on the court. If anyone thinks it is more suitable for offense than me Responsibility, I can mainly pass the ball in this game, look for opportunities on the outside, give up the shot, and focus more on the defensive end, is anyone willing to stand up?"

This question is very sharp, and it may cause conflicts in the locker room if it is not done well. Wang Jun's tone is too harsh, which is not very pleasant to listen to.

The players have a little thought.

Some people think that Wang Jun is too crazy, why should a Chinese yell here? But they won't say it, because they are not qualified to speak, this is a place that pays attention to strength. Don't say anything, just wait and watch the fun.

There were also people who hesitated to speak, and that was Jefferson.

He wanted to speak in his heart, whether it was to support Wang Jun's statement, or to let people understand that this team is now a dual-core team, he should say something.

But now he is like his first love who doesn't know how to ask a girl out, he can't say anything.

Image does not represent character. No matter how strong his muscles are, he can't change Jefferson's introverted personality. When he first arrived at the Nets, he was shy when introducing himself.

In the nba, introversion can sometimes equal weakness. Even if there is no Wang Jun, Kidd leaves the Nets one day, leaving only Jefferson as a senior player, he will not be a qualified leader.

Some people have a sense of admiration for Wang Jun, and Korver is like this.

Korver is self-aware and has never thought of becoming the core of a team, so he is not jealous. He thought Wang Jun was so cool. In college, he was the top scorer and didn't dare to shout that to his teammates. Not to mention that when he was a rookie, he was afraid of being beaten.

Wang Jun's aura made it impossible for a group to surround him and beat him up. Opposing him alone seemed like he would be beaten by him.

After a pause for a few seconds, seeing that no one answered, Wang Jun made a concluding speech. "We have to win this game. We are the defending champions. Even if we lose in the end, we cannot lose to the bad team that was at the bottom of last season. Everyone has to fight and fight together. I am not the captain, which is a bit embarrassing. Richard, are you Didn't you take the lead in shouting slogans?"

Only then did Jefferson stand up and said loudly: "Everyone shout with me: We must win!"

"Must win!"

Larry whispered to Lawrence outside the door: "I think Wang is more suitable to be the captain."

Lawrence nodded. "I think so."

The captain can't just look at the time in the team. Originally, the two coaches thought it was a trivial matter, so there were only two candidates, Jefferson and Collins.

Needless to say, Jefferson is introverted. Although Collins is a "black and tough" player, he often behaves like a bitch. This time he directly expressed his withdrawal from the election and did not want to fight.

The nba captain is not so easy to be, a team can have up to two captains but it can also be one.

During the game, the captain can discuss the rule interpretation of a certain penalty with the referee during the regular timeout or 20-second short timeout, but cannot discuss or question the result of the penalty. This is the captain's primary right or duty. Jefferson doesn't talk at all on the court.

The captain can be assigned to anyone on the team's active roster, even if that person is always on the bench for the game.

If the designated captain is absent from the game, the coach may designate a person as the captain for the game.

Now, the coaching staff began to consider Wang Jun.

After waiting for a while, Lawrence and Larry Drew walked into the locker room, as if they hadn't heard the words.

The task of arranging tactics, natural pick-and-roll and ball-handling offense is still Wang Jun's, which gives him privileges.

Lawrence also deliberately observed the expressions of the players. No one was dissatisfied. Wang Jun's words had a positive effect. He pushed the boat along the way and proposed to strictly guard the restricted area and foul severely if someone passed by, which made Wang Jun's idea even more correct.

When the time is up, the players are out. (To be continued.)
