Chapter 470 [Conquering Madison Square Garden]

As soon as Wang Jun came on the court, the Knicks were at a disadvantage, they were exhausted from the defensive end and had very little cooperation on the offensive end.`

The Knicks not only have bad record, but also have many internal conflicts.

The problem in the locker room is difficult to solve. Marbury is dissatisfied with his decline in tactical status. After Francis comes, he is dissatisfied with the ball. Crawford is dissatisfied with becoming a substitute, and Nate Robinson is dissatisfied with becoming a marginalist.

Robinson won the dunk king and thought his popularity would increase because of this, but the result was contrary to his wishes.

Fry joined the inside with a high pick and he had great potential, but because Curry and Svetney were only able to play as a substitute and did not have enough opportunities to exercise.

Curry's arrival made Jerome James a marginalist, and 5 years of 30,000 yuan became the worst contract in the league.

You know, James is already 30 years old, and he averaged 166 minutes of the game last season, scoring 49 points and 3 rebounds. Thomas gave him such a big contract, which is purely a disease.

The most troublesome thing is that the players are even more powerful than the backstage, and the three fat insiders are all the manager Thomas.

Coach Larry Brown hates the fat man very much, thinks Curry is too slow and has a bad defense. He is useless except offense. Svetney is the same. With these two guys, it is difficult to win. He admires the blue-collar Mary Cross who can defend more.

But Thomas disliked Marik. A short 2o1cm short man can only defend, even if he arranges tactics, he can't get 10 points per game.`

The Knicks, who are both worried and worried, are unhappy, how can they win?

Larry Brown is not thinking about how to win, but how to keep his reputation for life. Losing is small. If Wang Jun is asked to create a single-game scoring record in Madison Square Garden, things will be big.

So Brown asked the players to resolutely double-team to prevent Wang Jun from scoring, and to recognise other positions by round conversions.

Wang Jun encountered the most tight double-team, and at least two people caught the ball. After pick-and-roll, he dribbled the ball horizontally, and there may be a third person to assist in defense.

When looking at a player's attack level, the most intuitive thing is not the data, but the opponent's defense level.

For example, under the Suns' running and shooting system, Richardson averaged 15 points per game, but he didn't even get 10 points to the Knicks.

Some players will be double-teamed as soon as they receive the ball, such as Wang Jun, Kobe, Pierce, etc.

Now, as soon as Wang Jun gets the ball, the Knicks double-team at the three-point line. They have to come forward to defend 1 meter from the three-point line.

Someone once said that Wade is the best shooting guard in the 2003 season, because he has a strong physical fitness and has stronger breakthrough ability than Wang Jun. But when he watches the Heat game, many teams will appear. Not to mention crossing Wade on the periphery, they want to let Wade take two steps outside the three-point line to let him shoot. If Wang Jun is played like this throughout the game, Chamberlain's 100-point record will be a cloud.

In three seasons, Wang Jun has the experience of breaking double-teams, running without the ball, shooting and passing faster. `If you face double-teaming hard or strong shots, your opponent's defensive purpose will be achieved. Wang Jun will not let them succeed.

He chose to attract defense to those nearest people and then rush to grab the frontcourt rebounds.

The teammates also have a tacit understanding. They take action or transfer the ball once, and never drag it down.

Du Hong made another three-pointer because of his good touch. Skeles did not rush to substitution. David Li scored a high-level mid-range shot, and Lol Deng scored from the baseline mid-range shot, all opened.

On the defensive end, Lol Deng performed better and actively switched defenses, blocking the opponent's defender's breakthrough. Marbury and Crawford both made a fuss under his interference.

The defender failed to make an effort. Wang Jun counterattacked Richardson and scored a layup. The counterattack was misplaced and Fry was successfully broken through and committed a foul. He made both free throws.

Brown saw that it was not good, and then replaced Curry and replaced Fry.

Curry swung as soon as he got up and scored 4 points in a row. The Bulls did not let Chandler appear, but instead replaced Nosioni as the guest No. 4 position, resolutely playing small ball tactics. He also let Hinrich appear and replace Du Hong, who was fouled by three fouls.

The next leg, Crawford missed a three-pointer from the jump shot, the Bulls counterattacked, and David Lee covered Wang Jun with the cover as soon as he passed the half and helped him catch the ball.

Wang Jun attracted double teams and passed it to Sinrich, and Sinrich passed Nosioni again at the bottom corner. Curry chased and defended from the basket, interfering with the shooting, and Nosioni missed the jump shot.

However, Wang Jun entered the inside and grabbed Richardson's rebound in the frontcourt, and made another foul on the second offense, making both free throws.

One minute before the end of the game, Curry went out to make up for the three-pointer in the corner. Nosioni missed the shot, Wang Jun grabbed the frontcourt rebound, scored a second offense, and scored his 49th point.

Richardson, who had committed three fouls, did not reach out for a foul.

Richardson is very strong, 198cm tall and weighs 101 kilograms. No matter how you look at the black and strong man, it is easier to grab rebounds than Wang Jun, but the result is not like this. Wang Jun judged that the rebounding direction was very accurate, and his consciousness was not the same as Richardson, and his strength was not inferior.

Larry Brown could not understand why he couldn't defend against Wang Jun. For a moment, he felt: My heart was too confused, there was a little blank, is God there? I forgot to arrange it for me...

Under tight double-teams, Wang Jun still scored 14 points in this quarter, with 49 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, including three of the frontcourt rebounds.

The Knicks' defensive tactics were set for Wang Jun, and there were many loopholes in other positions. The Bulls scored another 36 points in a single quarter and led 75-53 in the first half.

During the final break, Zhang Heli commented: "The Knicks narrowed the gap to only two points in 4 minutes. Wang Jun quickly widened the score as soon as he got the score. It was really unsolvable for the attack."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "I have been double-teaming Wang Jun, and others will easily score. If I don't double-team, Wang Jun will definitely break the record today. Judging from her touch, she will have another 6o."

Zhang Heli looked up the information. "Madison Square Garden's personal single-game scoring record was 6o points, which was set by Bernard King in the 1984 Christmas game. The opponent's highest record was Jordan's 55 points. As long as Wang Jun guaranteed his playing time, it would not be difficult to break it."

In the second half, Wang Jun continued to play, the Bulls changed to joint defense, and Wang Jun was responsible for the middle lane, so that if the Knicks missed the high pick-and-roll, it would be easier to counterattack.

Marbury began to be impatient and scored three points in the first half. Wang Jun just stretched out his hand and the ball scored 75 to 56.

After scoring the goal, Ma Bu returned to defense without expression and was already exhausted.

When the Timberwolves and the Suns were in the Timberwolves, Marbury hoped to return to New York and play for the Knicks. He really joined, and he was not happy at all.

There is a saying: If you love him, let him go to New York, because it is heaven. If you hate him, let him go to New York, because it is hell.

For Marbury, New York is both a paradise and a hell. He grew up here and liked the city. But it was full of intrigue and gossip, and he couldn't win the game.

Marbury could see that Wang Jun did not defend with all his strength, which was both depressed and envious. Only strong teams were qualified to play on the court. Like the Spurs' "GDP combination", the three were obviously not old but often rested. Ginobili was selected as the All-Star and averaged less than 30 minutes per game, but the Spurs could still win. How could their opponents take them?

The Bulls attacked, Wang Jun received the ball in half, and after the pick-and-roll, he made a move one meter away from the three-point line. The ball bounced out of the box, but the atmosphere on the scene changed.

There were fans booing in Madison Garden Square, and some people started shouting "mvp" when Wang Jun received the ball!
