Chapter 452 [Wild thoughts, hot performance]

Wang Jun was interviewed by a reporter and praised Kobe for a few words, which made him feel very unhappy.

A bad team like the Raptors who are not defensive can fall behind by a large score and can still fall behind until the final quarter. Are you wrong?

If it weren't for the Raptors' return to get off work in the third quarter, Wang Jun would have the confidence to score a super high score.

He began to think about whether he should deliberately relax his defense when he encounters a bad team in the future? Let the opponent in and get some points so that he can play for a while and decide the outcome in the final quarter. The premise is to ensure that he can win, and it will be embarrassing if he capsizes his ship and loses to a weak team.

Wang Jun became the hot scorer in the league. Nike began to negotiate renewal with agent Ryan Hughes and was preparing to launch the "Wang Second Generation" exclusive sneakers.

Adidas also sent representatives to poach and were sincere, hoping to sign a lifelong contract with Wang Jun.

Adidas attaches great importance to scorers. They signed a lifetime contract with McGrady before. Wang Jun doesn't look as easy to get injured as McGrady and has higher scoring efficiency.

Hughes went to Chicago to talk about advertising endorsements with Wang Jun, and other businesses wanted to ask him to endorse. The endorsement fee proposed by Coca-Cola has reached a point where people cannot refuse.

When he saw Theron at the villa, Hughes was stunned for a moment and didn't say much. He had known about the rumors about the two of them for a long time.

Gina, who was playing with the dog, also greeted Hughes, and began to talk about business.

"Adidas' lifetime contract is higher than McGrady's, with a guaranteed fee of 8 million yuan, and a bonus and a share of shoes. When you play at least a few times a season, you will have corresponding bonuses for entering the playoffs and the All-Stars. With Chinese fans voting, you cannot lose the All-Stars, and the Bulls will definitely make it to the playoffs, so as long as you sign this contract, you will surpass James in sneaker endorsement."

Wang Jun asked: "Where is Nike's offer?"

"Not as good as Adidas for the time being. If you get the scoring champion this season or lead the team to play good results in the playoffs, the quote will definitely increase, so I didn't reply. Now I want you to sign another endorsement, Sprite Drink."

“Isn’t that carbonated drink?”

"The endorsement fee of $7 million per year is only required to shoot a few advertisements. It may increase in the future. Don't you make any money? There are many endorsements of carbonated beverages for stars, which is not a problem at all." Hughes smiled.

"Okay, I signed this." Wang Jun really had no reason to let this big sum of money go.

Seeing that he showed no excitement, Hughes said curiously: "Why do you seem unhappy?"

"Kobe scored ahead of me, and the pressure was on my side. Lei, I plan to increase the number of shots in the second half and reduce the passes. What do you think?"

"Are you serious?" Hughes shook his head: "You have just arrived in the first year of the Bulls. You will definitely be criticized for playing like this. Now the news says that you have taken too many moves and dominate the ball. If the moves continue to increase, they should say that you are the ball dominant!"

Wang Jun said seriously: "I always feel like I've fallen into a conspiracy. Some people don't want me to get the scoring champion, but I'm going to get it this season. If I can average more than 35 points per game, the scoring champion will have a very high value."

"I suggest not to do this and cooperate well with teammates. You can go far in the playoffs. If you take too many moves, they will lose confidence the more they play, and like Hinrich's data will drop too much."

"I have decided, don't persuade me, I want to see who can laugh to the end with Kobe and Iverson."

Wang Jun’s idea is similar to Kobe. It is not easy for the Bulls to win the championship. In any case, he doesn’t want to lose his personal honor anymore.

Hughes no longer advised him. Wang Jun is sometimes a willful person, and some things will not be changed if he makes up his mind.

When the New Year was at the end of the month, Wang Jun officially signed with Coca-Cola Company. It was like getting a big New Year gift.

He also sold Google stocks. In the past two years, with Vivik trading stocks, his and Theron's value has tripled. It doesn't take any skills to know Wall Street's tycoons. Just buy whatever they buy.

After removing the terrifying taxes and other expenses, Wang Jun now has nearly $40 million in total assets, which is a super rich man. Wang Jun doesn’t have much money to make, he just wants to do something to make himself happy.

He did not communicate with his teammates about competing for the scoring champion, so he directly increased his moves and planned to restrain himself when the coach could no longer bear it and forced him to pass the ball.

He basically gave up grabbing the backcourt rebounds and made fast breaks as long as he had the chance. Due to the change in his playing style, his rebound count has been reduced a lot, and he averaged less than 5 games.

In the next few games, Wang Jun made more than 20 shots, and none of them scored less than 30 points. His shooting percentage dropped slightly. He was still more accurate than Kobe and Iverson. His two-point shooting percentage was 46.4% and his three-point shooting percentage was 41.3%.

Wang Jun performed well against the Suns and won the game. He made 14 of 21 shots, 9 of 13 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

Kobe's scoring data is also stable, and his average per game remains above 35 points.

Media and online fans have been paying attention to the performance of several stars and are comparing them in all aspects. Most people are optimistic about Kobe's scoring title, while some people are optimistic about Iverson and Wang Jun ranks third.

This is not the first time that Kobe has shown his super scoring ability. In the 2002-2003 season, he scored 40+ in nine consecutive games. Only Michael Jordan has done this before.

The reason why people are optimistic about Iverson is simple. He has won the scoring champion four times, and the other two have never won this honor.

Abc Radio publicly supported Kobe and commented: "Wang Jun is already a super scorer, but he relies more on shooting touch and has poor scoring stability. He may become the scoring leader in the future, and it will be difficult to compete for the other two this season. Kobe has proved that he can score more points in a single game than Wang Jun. He is too similar to Jordan."

However, shortly after the news was released, Wang Jun also began to explode.

On February 6, the Bulls defeated the Jazz away. Wang Jun made 14 of 29 shots, 6 of 12 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, scoring 44 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

On February 8, the Bulls defeated the Nuggets away, Wang Jun and Anthony Biao scored, made 13 of 28 shots, 7 of 13 of 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

The Kings played back to back away, and the Bulls won 105-98. Wang Jun beat Kevin Martin, played 37 minutes, made 16 of 30 shots, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, and scored 46 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

Wang Jun did not play in the fourth quarter, otherwise he would definitely win 50+.

The Kings are very bad this season. McBeeby, young players Martin and Stojakovic have good offenses. Miller's high-level support after pick-and-roll is also very amazing, but there is no defensive expert in the team, so it is difficult to win. Even the substitute Rahim is a type of strong offense and weak defense.

The Kings scored more points and their opponents scored more. This season, 80% of them missed the playoffs.

Chinese fans are very excited. Wang Jun still has the opportunity to compete for the scoring champion, averaging 33.8 points per game, ranking second only to Kobe.

After two days off, the Bulls flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers away, which was a tough battle. The Clippers were 30 wins and 18 losses under Brand, and ranked fourth in the West.
