Chapter 509 [Good reputation, good news]
Wang Jun's performance in the last game was eye-catching, with 4 of 0 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 35 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
He averaged 30 points per game in the playoffs, shooting as high as 50.2 in the field, shooting 43 in three-pointers, and 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
In addition to scoring, his statistics are improved compared to the regular season.
After the game, the media posted news to support Wang Jun and Bulls, even if Wang Jun disliked him, ABC Radio was no exception.
ABC Radio changed its vocals because it wouldn't work. Wang Jun helped the team to the Eastern Conference Finals just in his first year of joining the Bulls, winning the scoring champion and P. Perhaps he could go further than Nash in the Suns last season.
Continue to belittle Wang Jun and say that he is not a superstar. Isn’t that not being able to get along with his IQ? Still want to reduce the IQ of all fans through the news.
Major media leaders are not simple people. They will not do such stupid things that can smash their own signatures. There is no benefit at all, and it will only affect their own interests. If you say too much, those big businesses that are tough in the backstage and extremely powerful, will come to trouble them.
Now, unless a powerful person like Bush, he dislikes Wang Jun and sends a man in black to point a gun at the head of the media bosses and says: "The news must be ill-mouthed Wang Jun. If you don't do this, you will kill your whole family." Otherwise, no one will be overwhelmed by eating and deliberately oppose Wang Jun.
The media will change their minds when they want to do something wrong. They have to wait for Wang Jun to do something stupid, scandals or personal data, and the team's record will decline seriously.
People are very realistic, especially Americans. They will not be incompatible with influential stars, and will even do some despicable things to maintain the reputation of stars in order to achieve the goal of making money.
For example, Carl Lewis admitted that he had indeed been tested for taking three banned drugs, but he was "out of the law" by the US Olympic Committee and continued to participate in the Olympic Games.
This is the treatment of big-name stars. There may be boundless darkness hidden under the glory.
Another round of the Eastern Conference series played more intensely, with the Pacers and the Heat fighting 3-3.
The Pacers demonstrated the background of the Eastern Conference championship last season, combining the inside and the outside, and the offense was vivid and colorful.
Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson combined defense Wade did a good job, reducing his shooting percentage.
However, the Pacers have an advantage in the inside of the Nets, but they become a fatal weakness when facing the Heat. They lack a big center who can resist people.
Crohill, Foster, and O'Neal Jr. could not defend against the "Big Sharks". The Pacers could only rely on foul tactics and shrink their defenses to prevent the opponent's inside attack. If the Heat's three-pointers were not good enough, they could only rely on Percy and Walker, and the Pacers would have been eliminated long ago.
On the 2nd, the seventh battle between the two sides began in Miami.
The Pacers Artest, Jackson and O'Neal Jr. had a cool touch. The Pacers also lacked three-pointers after Miller retired.
The Heat hang the ball to the inside and hand it over to O'Neal for offense, with high efficiency. In addition, Williams, Walker and Percy made 9 three-pointers from the outside, and they defeated their opponents in a difficult manner and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The West also decided to win and lose, all of which were seven games.
On the 22nd, the Suns defeated the Clippers 27-07 at home.
The Suns played a magical game, with only seven players rotating throughout the game. All seven scored in double digits.
The Suns mainly won on three-pointers, with 5 of 27 shots and the Clippers' three-pointers 0 of 4 shots.
The Mavericks eliminated defending champion Spurs 9 away.
The Mavericks are a team that is strong and weak, and it seems that the players' attention cannot be concentrated all the time. They were chased by the Spurs two consecutive games while leading 3, dragging into the seventh life-and-death battle.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, the calf regained his feelings and launched a large attack at the beginning.
The Mavericks hit a surprising percentage in the first quarter, with 5 shots, including 3-pointers of 5 shots, Howard and Nowitzki scored points and 0 points respectively.
The Spurs pale in comparison. They made only 3 shots in the first quarter, but fortunately they got 4 free throws, otherwise they would have to open the score in a single quarter. 37 to 27.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks continued to expand their advantage, and Starkhouse led the team to score a 0-2.47-29 advantage. The main Spurs player returned to the court and narrowed the gap to 3 points. Then the Mavericks defender Terry made consecutive three-pointers and scored a 9-2 wave, leading 20 points with 3 minutes and 5 seconds left in the quarter.
In the second half, the Mavericks lost their sight and were gradually recovered by the Spurs.
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs also scored 6 points in a row to overtake.
At the critical moment, Nowitzki scored 3 points in a row with free throws, and the two teams tied 04 with 2.6 seconds left in regular time. The Spurs handed over the last blow to Ginobili. After he took the ball and spent almost the same amount of time, he forced a breakthrough and missed the shot. Duncan grabbed the frontcourt rebound and failed to score a tip-in. Unfortunately, he was dragged into overtime.
The Mavericks have always taken the initiative in overtime and won the game smoothly.
This is bad news for the Bulls. They are not afraid of the Spurs in the regular season, but they are more troublesome to face the Mavericks led by Nowitzki.
There is also good news for the Bulls. Although the Heat ranked second in the regular season, their record is not as good as the Bulls, so the Bulls still have a home advantage.
Another good news is that before the game started, the league held a draw ceremony for the 2006 NBA draft. The Bulls were very lucky and won the second draw.
The Raptors won the No. 1 pick, the Bobcats won the Tanhua, and the Trail Blazers with the last record in the Western Conference were fourth.
With several teams having a low chance of drawing to the front, the Timberwolves were in trouble, and the West's second-last poor record only won the fifth pick, which is also the lowest pick they can get in theory.
After the lottery was over, the Bulls management immediately opened champagne to celebrate. Eddie Curry made a lot of money in the trade. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to choose a high-ranking rookie next year.
Reinsdorf asked after toasting: "John, who will choose the inside or outside pick in June?"
John Paxson smiled and said, "In fact, I prefer to use draft picks and someone to exchange for experienced stars, so that the Bulls will be stronger next season, we have little chance of winning the championship this season, and the lineup is not the best among the four teams to advance."
Reinsdorf was not surprised at all. There were Lol Deng and David Li in the team, and it seemed that he didn't need a high-level rookie.
David Lee has been trained for a year and has shown his strength. There is still room for improvement next season. At this time, choosing a high-level insider rookie, which overlaps with his position, at least one will be ruined.
It is even more necessary to choose a rookie from the outside with a high pick. How much ball can Wang Jun get in the rookie? If a small forward still has to compete with Lol Deng and Nosioni. If you are a role player, you don’t need to use a new player, you can find it in the free market.
The general manager wants to trade rookies, but the Bulls' lineup is too deep.
The boss is concerned about salary. "John, if you trade a star, can you control your salary plus Chandler, Wang Jun and the contract, how can we renew other players in the future?"
"I will try my best to handle this, and I should consider winning the championship first," Paxson asked.
"You are right, let's talk about it after the season is over. Report the situation to me at any time and don't choose high-paying and low-capacity people."
"clear."
