Super Lord of the Rings

When returning to defense, Wang Jun clenched his fists and shouted. ∑. ∑

Throwing shots are not as entertaining as dunks, pull bars, and two-pointers are not as good as three-pointers, but they can effectively avoid blocks from big men. Practicing a new technology makes Wang Jun feel more fulfilled, and he is one step closer to "ruling".

Paul made adjustments, asked Peja to cover to avoid Wang Jun, easily changed speed on the right and passed Novak, and made an emergency stop and made a jump shot. 12 to 4.

This attack was simple and effective. Peja can play the No. 4 position, and Wang Jun can't let him go after him.

Wang Jun singled out Lasu and missed a three-pointer with a step back. Da Ben got the rebound.

Paul misplaced Novak again, attracting Chandler to make up the defense and score the basket, and Ben made a close-range open shot. 12 to 6.

Big Ben is average in size and average in bullet speed. It's not easy to jump directly for an alley-oop dunk, and the score depends on picking up misses. After the goal, he had a fierce expression on his face and returned to the defense with his fists clenched, just like when he was in the Pistons, but he only received sporadic applause.

No one thinks the goal is beautiful, and this way of showing toughness will not attract fans.

Wang Jun ran to the baseline without the ball screen, Calderon first passed to Lewis, the latter did not pass to Wang Jun, but to the air-cut Chandler, who caught the ball and turned around, jumped up from close range and prepared to dunk. The thug fouled.

Chandler made two free throws, 13-6.

At the position close to the basket, Daben's defense is also common, and the height gap between the two is too obvious.

The Bulls have always been in control of the situation. Wang Jun played very flexibly, looking for opportunities for misplaced heads-ups, and constantly cooperating with his teammates.

He and Chandler are the main attack points, and the others open up and wait for opportunities.

Daben was withdrawn from the basket by Wang Jun, and it was a good chance to score by hanging to Chandler. Daben went out slowly and Wang Jun shot directly, or singled out Lasu with the ball, and it was difficult to guard against.

At 8 minutes, Big Ben was replaced for the second foul, and Scott sent Magloire.

The Hornets manager thought he made a profit by introducing him as a substitute for 4 million, but soon discovered that this was also a loss-making business, and was cheated by Magloire's agent.

After his serious injury, his athletic ability is not as good as before. Can only rely on height to defend, averaging only 3.2 points and 4 rebounds per game, lacking offensive ability.

Skiles immediately replaced Chandler, and Amundsen played a cameo at center.

With Novak off, Barnes came on as a guest power forward, playing small ball tactics.

Lewis is not in the best form when he just came back. It is much easier for him to deal with Peja, who is generally attacking with the ball. He stays on the court and makes a three-point shooting point to find his feeling. Barnes switches pick-and-rolls faster. West handed over to Wang Jun, he can dislocate the defender to break through.

Barnes has a problem. He doesn't like chasing and defending opponents very much. He is very active in switching defenses and likes one-on-one.

Wang Jun played the entire first quarter and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Paul scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes. The Bulls are a small ball lineup of Watson, Adrian, Hill, Barnes, and Amundson.

The Bulls lack height inside, but the Hornets have no offensive power inside, and they have two blue-collars, Magloire and Ryan Bowen. Former Rockets player Bowen is probably one of the worst offensive players in the NBA and can only defend.

The small forward is Julian White, a rookie with the 13th pick in the first round. He is 203cm tall and weighs 102kg. He has outstanding physical fitness and his jumper is not reliable enough.

The Hornets' offense mainly relies on the outside line Janello Pargo and Bunche Wells, and the strength of the bench is not strong. This is why they are not favored.

Wells is already a veteran of the league and still has a good impact. When he met Adrian, he ran into an opponent. Adrian weighed more than him. He is not afraid of people with big butts. In the zone defense system, he is responsible for defending the low post and guarding the inside.

On the periphery, Barnes defended Wells against breakthroughs and non-defense shots. He played very smartly. Wells shot consecutively.

The Bulls opened up on offense, with Watson and Amundson playing pick-and-rolls. Using his breakthrough ability, Magloire will break through when he comes out of the defense.

Skiles admired Watson's style and arranged tactics for him. The 10-day contract worker was lucky to meet "Bole" and gained a foothold in the Bulls.

Bulls manager Paxson has no plans to sign any more and will keep Watson on the team until the end of the season. It is not a big surprise that he can still play in the playoffs.

Watson, Hill, and Barnes ensured the offensive firepower of the bench, and the point difference widened to 20 points.

Scott could only replace Paul early. The Hornets' backup point guard was Pargo, who won the championship with the Bulls. The organization was too poor.

The Bulls began to shrink the defensive line, and the two defenders on the defensive field broke through. Although they could not completely defend, they still maintained their advantage by virtue of their own offense.

Six minutes later, Wang Jun and Lewis came back, and the Bulls immediately played a wave of 11 to 2, widening the point difference to 25 points.

The Bulls' small-ball tactics were flourishing, but Scott couldn't bear to fight the Bulls for small balls. He kept letting West play the 4th position, the center was a blue-collar player, and Ben and Magloire shared playing time.

Scott's on-the-spot adaptability was poor, and he didn't make any adjustments throughout the first half, let alone targeted tactics. He just arranged man-to-man defense, just like what he did with the Nets back then. The lineup completely copied the original Nets tactics except that small forward Peja was better than Jefferson with a three-pointer.

Paul couldn't get the ball into the hands of his teammates for them to score comfortably, and the Hornets offense was in trouble.

They are such a strange team. Sometimes a wave of opponents who vomit blood, such as against the Suns, does not look like a team of the same level. But against teams that are good at defending high pick-and-rolls, the Hornets will struggle offensively.

To put it bluntly, they rely too much on the performance of Paul and West. If the two play well, the team will win, and if the two perform poorly, it will be difficult to win. This is not the same as the Suns. Even if Nash is not on the Suns, Stoudemire, Marion, Diaw, Bell, and Barbosa are enough for their opponents to drink a pot.

In the second half, the Hornets still couldn't open up the offensive end. No matter who defended West, Wang Jun and Barnes followed closely, disrupting his shooting rhythm.

Paul scored 20 points and 8 assists in three quarters. He performed well, but everyone else was blocked, especially the center barely scored. Big Ben can't beat Chandler and Amundson, and he can foul Calderon's opponents and send him free throws if he is misplaced.

West had only 8 points and 5 rebounds, 4 of 12 shots and no free throws.

TN*T Radio Barkley said: "If Wang Jun doesn't enter the best defensive team this year, I think this award can be cancelled. Today, Paul singled him six times and only scored two goals. West singled him. Only scored two goals in seven times, the efficiency of both of them was greatly reduced, and Wang Jun also assisted the defense with two blocks and one steal."

Barkley is not the only one who is optimistic about Wang Jun. ESPN's Mike Brin has repeatedly praised Wang Jun's defense. Jeff Van Gundy, who started to work as a commentator on ESPN this season, is full of praise for Wang Jun's defense.

Zhang Lili sighed: "I think after this season, no one will say that Wang Jun is strong offensively and weak defensively. His defensive effect is very obvious."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "No, I think he is still strong in offense and weak in defense, because the offense is too strong."
