Chapter 669 [The dead bald head is back]
After the Star Game, Abby and Wang Jun flew to New York together, rested for a day in the Manhattan apartment, waiting for the other Bulls to meet up and challenge the Nets away.
This is a game without suspense. The Nets are now third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, just better than the Heat and the Knicks.
Boss Bruce Ratner has been negotiating with investors this season. The Nets' operating conditions are too poor and they are "burning too much money" and it is difficult to get a return. He is preparing to sell the team.
Negotiations to sell shares do not include the ongoing Atlantic Arena project under construction, the $3.5 billion stadium, residential area and commercial center will be located in the bustling Brooklyn area of New York, and is expected to be completed in 20 years.
In the last two seasons, the Nets lost an average of $20 million to $25 million a year. Bruce has only taken over the team for four years and has reached this point. He is really a skilled person.
The Nets are still uneasy, and Ben Gordon and Harris are having a very unpleasant fight for the ball.
If you can't enter the playoffs, players just want to make good data. Gordon is a free agent in the summer and wants to get high scores and get high salaries.
The two small men started together, and there was no defense at all. Jefferson became the boss of the team and had no leadership temperament. The 20-digit data was useless and he would not win.
The biggest compliment for Jefferson to occupy a place in the league's ten strikers selection is that he is the biggest compliment. The Nets may also trade him out at any time to train Harris to take the lead.
The score leads too much, Wang Jun only played 25 minutes, scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Many fans were waiting to see him average 40 per game, and were very disappointed in this game.
Back at home, the Nuggets Wang Jun exploded, scoring 5 points, 0 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the Bulls 35-2 in the ninth game 50.
There are rumors that the Nuggets will send Iverson away on the trading deadline, but he stayed in the end.
Iverson scored 29 points and 9 assists, Anthony scored 22 points and rebounds, and the two combined were not as good as Wang Jun. If it weren't for JR Smith's draw and scored 43 points, both sides wouldn't have decided until the last quarter.
No major deal happened on the trading deadline. The Rockets sent Coxnyder to replace the Timberwolves' dunk king Gerald Green. They exchanged the dunk player for another dunk player, but they didn't know what the purpose was.
Veteran point guard Kassel repeatedly asked, and the Clippers cut him into a free agent and focused on playing the game. Kassel responded to Garnett's call and joined the Celtics and prepared to win the championship together.
On the 24th, the Bulls defeated the Rockets again away.
Wang Jun beat Bathir in a one-on-one fight. The "President's" eye-blocking defense didn't work much for him. The Rockets insisted on defending alone. As a result, Wang Jun made 33 shots, made 4 of 0 three-pointers, made 2 free throws, scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Yao Ming performed poorly under Chandler's defense, scoring only 2 points and 6 rebounds. The Rockets' team six players scored in double digits but failed to win a victory.
The Bulls defeated the Mavericks, Pacers, and Wizards one after another. As Lewis recovered his form, many people felt that they were almost invincible again.
The tactic is very simple. Several pitchers pulled away and asked Wang Jun to fight alone, attracting double teams to pass the ball to his teammates to shoot.
The Pistons have only lost one game to the Jazz recently, leading the Bulls by 42 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
On March 2, the Bulls' winning streak ended and lost to the Cavaliers 6-95 away.
The protagonist of this game is not the player, but the referee.
The Cavaliers' home whistle is too obvious. The players do small moves when defending, and Wang Jun is elbowing in various defenses. On the offensive end, James also turns a blind eye to the layup referee.
A player with physical fitness like James can't stop him from rushing for four steps at the three-point line, and he may be blocked by blowing and sending him to the free throw.
Last season, the league showed signs of over-supporting James. Many of his steps were blown into good balls when he broke through. As long as the movements were coherent, the referee would not care.
NBA is essentially a business alliance, so it will pursue the maximization of commercial interests. Shaping the image of a superstar will greatly improve the benefits and image of the entire league.
David Stern was extremely indulged in James, who was praised as a superstar in the league as soon as he entered the league. He tried to make the fouls and violations of him as small as possible, believing that this would create the image of a perfect star, only to win.
Unfortunately, some of it backfired, and many people began to be dissatisfied with James' privileges.
James has been out for many years. He has been unable to lead a group of ordinary teammates to win by normal means, and he cannot compete for P and other honors. Now he is becoming addicted to walking.
The friend went astray, but Wang Jun and James chatted but did not mention walking, and did not express dissatisfaction with the Cavaliers' home whistle at the press conference.
After fighting for a few years, he became accustomed to this kind of thing when he saw so many things.
NBA referees always read wrongly, and it is not uncommon. When it comes to the playoffs, these rarely become the decisive factor in winning. With more people watching, the referees dare not blatantly blow the whistle.
On March 9, the Bulls defeated the Pistons away and gave the opponent a loss, and the two teams drew.
Rashid was absent, and only the blue-collar worker left in the Pistons' inside. David Lee of the Bulls made a comeback this time and the substitute attack was stronger.
On the 7th, the Bulls lost to the Hornets away and were once again surpassed by the Pistons to third place.
On the one hand, the Bulls' defense has problems. The main reason for losing is that Wang Jun encountered foul trouble. He only played for 3 minutes and the referee once again became the protagonist of the game.
Wang Jun only played for two minutes in the first quarter, but the bald referee Joe Crawford made two fouls. One of them was a body-haired foul. He just hit Paul with close body force, and there was no movement on his hand. Paul made him foul without turning around.
Before Wang Jun finished the third quarter, he had already had five offensives, and in the final quarter, he was only three minutes later and was punished by six offensives.
He is responsible for defending Paul, and his physical action against him or her can be beaten or not is almost always judged to be beneficial to the Hornets. He also made a foul after a breakthrough and dribbling the ball.
Wang Jun asked Crawford to argue when he was in the sixth foul. Crawford's facial features were frowned like a chrysanthemum, and his eyebrows were cold and shouted to him: "Do you have any objections to me?"
The referee who doesn't want to be the protagonist is not a good comedy star.
Crawford dislikes Wang Jun, many fans know that he was very clear when calling out two years ago and likes to use this method to show his presence.
Crawford is a referee who is prone to illness. If he thinks in his mind when he appears, "Do you unlucky kids understand what basketball is? Let the master explain it to you?", then he is a disaster in the game.
If he appeared, he thought in his mind, "Uncle is a little tired today, you guys can make trouble, I'll just watch it." Then he would be a reliable referee.
This is not the first time Crawford has performed like this on the court. Last season, he made a big joke, targeting the recognized good guy, who was sent off the court because Duncan laughed on the sidelines.
The league did not ignore it, and Duncan was fined $25,000 by the league for insulting the referee.
Crawford was suspended until the end of last season due to his second technical foul in the game and his subsequent inappropriate words and deeds.
This season, this dead bald man is back and is looking for trouble as always.
The Bulls did not open fire at the referee at the press conference. After everyone discussed it, they felt that it was not worth it. Alliance officials turned a blind eye and things just passed.
