Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 62 [Home Streak]

After two days of rest, the Wolverines ushered in their home opener against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.

In the past two years, there have been very few people watching the Wolverines in Ann Arbor. The arena was full in the first game of this season, vaguely returning to the period of the Michigan Five Tigers.

Before the game even started, the Wolverines cheered the crowd up. In the strong rhythm of the music, the beauties appeared on the stage in neat red tight-fitting shirts and white shorts, and performed a hot dance.

The cheerleaders, who were previously robbed by Abby, worked harder than they did last season.

In the locker room, David kept his promise and arranged tactics for Wang Jun.

"Attack Bobby's pick-and-roll in the middle, Chris covers the side, the two cut to the inside when they have the opportunity, Mike is in charge of passing the ball from the side, observe Wang Jun's running position, Wang moves to catch and shoot from the side, if the inside is evacuated, You can go low and post up."

Wang Jun will not be polite, and intends to go all out to swipe the data.

Before he and David discussed what data might attract the attention of NBA scouts, David believed that he is now good at shooting, and his role is too single, at least averaged about 20 points per game, and the three-point command rate remained above 40%.

NBA scouts don't just look at player statistics, they also look at efficiency.

Players average more than 20 points per game. If the shooting percentage is less than 40%, and they cannot shoot three-pointers, it is not the core, but a cancer. If this person votes more, the opponent will only win easily.

In order to ensure the average score per game, Wang Jun constantly finds his teammates to single out and practice back-up skills during training.

He lacks the ability to attack with the ball, and his skills are not expected. By practicing the training methods given by the system, he has become more and more experienced in confrontation. In the training of the team, he can rely on his strength to take all the outside lines in the low post. Only Harris can fight him a little bit.

The Golden Gophers are recognized underdogs. In the NCAA, friendship comes first and competition comes second. There are no stars from coaches to players, and this is a good opportunity to brush up statistics.

After the start of the game, the Golden Gophers' tactic was a fast break. It can be seen that they made preparations before the game. They shot when there was a chance from the outside, and they didn't go inside to challenge Kaman.

The Gophers also used a pressing tactic in the frontcourt.

Gordon started, and his ability to break the press was much worse than Luke's. Soon he made a mistake and was intercepted by the opponent to score.

Wang Jun also missed two 3-pointers and was counterattacked by the opponent. The Golden Gophers unexpectedly took the lead in the opening game.

Wang Jun immediately changed his style of play, realizing that he was too anxious, passed the ball to Kaman, and waited for an opportunity at the bottom line.

Kaman played well, scoring consecutive one-on-one attacks. The opponent would rather let Kaman score than relax the defense against Wang Jun. After scoring multiple three-pointers in two consecutive games, the Golden Gophers felt threatened and arranged a defense against him.

The biggest embarrassment for pitchers is the lack of stability in scoring. Once the opponent strictly guards against shooting, it is difficult to get a chance. Reggie Miller and Glen Rice are not only good at shooting, but other skills are also good, so they have 20+ in multiple seasons and were selected as All-Stars. Hornacek mainly relies on shooting to make a living. He only scored 20+ points in one season in his career.

Kaman was single-handedly invincible, scoring 18 points in the first half, grabbing 6 rebounds and sending out an assist. In order to guard against Wang Jun, the Golden Gophers also relied on rotating defenses and allowing others to shoot. Gordon and Harris wasted a lot of shooting opportunities, and the score was not widened.

Wang Jun scored only 5 points and made 2 of 8 shots.

During the intermission, David changed his tactics and let Bobby go to the side to cover for Wang Jun without the ball. He ran to a 60-degree position to catch the ball and gave Kaman a lob. Harris gave up the 60-degree position and cut from the middle.

Harris has outstanding physical fitness, Kaman screened and played his breakthrough ability, and the Golden Gophers obviously felt uncomfortable. Kaman can jump shot after receiving the ball in the middle, or pass the ball from close range to Wang Jun who is running up from the bottom corner.

Wang Jun, who performed poorly in the first half, finally started to show off, scoring two consecutive three-pointers to increase the score.

The opponent interfered with his shooting by changing positions, and he lobbed at 60 degrees to Kaman, who cut to the inside, and sent two assists.

After the two insiders withdrew, he still had a low-post attack.

Kaman showed his prowess and scored 34 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Wang Jun played mediocre, scoring only 13 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

76 to 62, the Wolverines won three consecutive victories.

Wang Jun was not satisfied, so he practiced shooting and back attack the next day.

Because he is only 195cm tall with shoes on, he has obvious weaknesses in post-up attack. He is easily blocked when facing big guys inside. Short players with back-up are suitable for protecting the basketball and quickly turn around and break through. He also lacks outstanding explosive power.

If you want to change, you can only exercise.

In the third game of the weekend, the Wolverines played against the Penn State Nittany Lions at home.

In football, the Lions are a strong team in the NCAA. They are not good at basketball. Kaman himself was able to lead the team to victory last season, leaving them with painful memories.

The Lions players didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. They guarded Kaman at the beginning and prevented Kaman from scoring easily.

Even if the coach doesn't arrange it, Kaman will consciously pass the ball to the most trusted person, Wang Jun's chance has come.

After playing for just over a minute, Wang Jun took three shots at 60 degrees on the right side, hit two goals, and caught his opponent by surprise 6-0.

The Big Ten teams paid far less attention to the game than the NBA. Their pre-game preparations were not in place. When the coach realized that Wang Jun also needed to be careful, the team was already behind.

When they tried their best not to let Wang Jun shoot, Kaman started to score again. In addition to attacking inside, he can also shoot high jumpers behind screens, which makes the Lions want to die and can't stop.

The biggest difference between the NBA and the NCAA is not the physical quality of the players, but the tactical quality.

The tactical quality of NBA teams is undoubtedly higher than that of NCAA. Many players who can cover the sky with one hand in college have been unable to integrate into the team in the NBA and have been eliminated.

There are too many such examples. For example, rookie Dajuan Wagner, who was selected by the Cavaliers with the 4th overall pick in the summer.

Dajuan played only one season at the University of Memphis, broke the scoring record in a single season, was honorably nominated for the All-American First Team by the Associated Press, was selected as the Rookie of the Year in the Division, and was selected as the First Team in the American League.

And after he entered the NBA, he has played 12 games for the Cavaliers, and his shooting percentage is only 35%.

Except for the top students from prestigious schools, college basketball is basically a chaotic game. The point guard can run as fast as he can, and the core players can play unlimited singles. Almost all of the beautiful coordination occurs in the fast break.

The Wolverines have shown a strong tactical quality this season, becoming an outlier in the Big Ten. Because of the existence of Kaman, the standing center, the position is mainly offensive. And because the core of the outside line is Wang Jun, who needs overall cooperation, tactics are very important, and the offensive routine is extremely clear, which is their biggest advantage.

Kaman scored 35 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. Wang Jun was strictly guarded and didn't take many shots, and scored 18 points in the game.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jun threw a three-pointer from the bottom corner and the right side. After the defense went out, he threw a lob to the inside, and Kaman ravaged the basket. Generally, a center can't guard him one-on-one. When he switches to a guard, he can dunk when he turns around.

The only way to stop Kaman is to foul, and his free throw shooting is inconsistent.

Under the joint attack of the two, the Wolverines beat their opponents by 32 points 80 to 48.
