Chapter 676 [First round duel, underestimating the hidden dangers of the enemy]
Before the game began, Skeles was in the locker room to boost morale.
"Concentrate, don't treat the Sixers as a weak team. Their defense is excellent and they are one of the best teams in the league to defend. I don't want any accidents to happen. Everyone should try to sweep their opponents to advance to the next round."
"I understand!" the players shouted together.
He shouted very seriously, and everyone was somewhat underestimating the enemy. As the defending champion, the players have psychological advantages. The 76ers made it to the playoffs for the first time in several years, and it seems impossible to create any threat to them.
Skeles talked about tactics, it was very simple. The players were pulled apart, Wang Jun was the main attacker, and the three teammates ran more positions from the outside to attract defense, looking for a mobile phone, David Li also withdrew from the basket to create a breakthrough space for Wang Jun.
This is the way of playing in the regular season. Lewis and David Lee made a comeback. In theory, there is no need to let Wang Jun fight one-on-one. After playing for most of the season, Skyles also developed a habit.
On the side of the 76ers, Chicks emphasized the defense. "Iguodala defended Wang Jun alone on the perimeter. He entered the side of the three-point line and the inside to pay attention to double-teaming to force him to the perimeter. The perimeter is rotated and can let other people shoot."
It is better to let others take action easily than relax their defense against Wang Jun, which is Chiks' tactical core. They have suffered too much in Wang Jun in the regular season.
When the players appeared, Wang Jun appeared, the audience cheered as if they had won the game. They averaged 40+ per game and became the scoring leader. His popularity has surpassed all the players and looked at the mountains.
More and more people are optimistic about Wang Jun surpassing Jordan online, and some people think he has surpassed Jordan.
"Wang Jun will definitely surpass Jordan in the future and become the number one NBA player. He has won three championships at the age of 25, four MVPs, and two scoring champions. Jordan can only win the scoring champion when he was 25."
"This year, the Bulls won three consecutive championships to establish a dynasty. It's only a matter of time before Wang Junchao Jordan is played. The Bulls' lineup will only be stronger next season."
CCTV5 Zhang reasonably introduces Wang Jun’s situation.
"Wang Jun played 82 games in the regular season. He once again broke the record of three-pointers in a single season. Last season, he was the first person in NBA to break 300 in three-pointers. This season is even more outrageous. He made 400 three-pointers in a single season and made nearly 5 goals per game. He is still the person who has made the most three-pointers in a single season in history, with a shooting rate of 40.7% not low."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "This record is difficult to break in the future. As long as Wang Jun is not injured, he will definitely become the first in the NBA three-point list in the future. He may be the top five in a single season, and he can only surpass himself."
Zhang Heli said: "He may also become the first in the total scoring list when he retires. The new stars with the most scores are James and Wang Jun. Compared with the two, Wang Jun is obviously better and has a distance from James."
No matter how you look at it, an active legend like Wang Jun cannot be stopped by a small 76ers. After warming up, both sides appeared.
The Bulls lineup out: Calderon, Wang Jun, Nowak, Lewis, David Lee.
Hill is responsible for leading the substitute, and Skyles hopes to ensure a three-point shooting.
76ers: Andre Miller, Willie Green, Iguodala, Reggie Evans, and Dalemport.
This is the usual lineup of the 76ers, with three-pointers and good defense.
Dalemport won the jump ball and the game began.
The 76ers player opened, the Bulls took joint defense, Wang Jun stood in the center, Miller broke through after pick-and-roll, and the Bulls formed a contraction and surrounded the penalty area and put the opponent's shot.
Evans and Dalemport did not have the ability to shoot, and Evans received the ball from the outside and waited for his teammates to respond. Then he cut into the basket.
Seeing that 24 seconds had been used, Green got rid of Novak's catch, and the mid-range missed, and Wang Jun retreated and grabbed the rebound.
He has poor mobility in mobile phones, such as teams like the Heat, Rockets, and Kings. Wang Jun will actively make fast attacks and deal with teams like the 76ers. He mainly protects the backcourt rebounds.
This is the coach's arrangement, and it is Skeles' cleverness. When it's time to fight for defense, you have to fight. The 76ers have super capable of controlling rebounds.
In the Bulls' position battle, the players pulled apart, allowing Wang Jun and Iguodala to one-on-one.
The two of them greeted each other before the game very casually. Iguodala and Wang Jun are also familiar with each other and understand their characteristics. One-on-one during training, Iguodala is obviously not his opponent.
Wang Jun took the ball and turned around the face frame, tentatively stepped on the right foot, and took the left foot to the right side, attracting Iguodala to move horizontally and dribble the ball behind his right hand to the middle to pull the ball, and took the left foot back and jumped to the jump shot.
His movements were smooth and smooth. Even though Iguodala had a strong physical fitness, she was still slower in chasing and defending, so she could only try her best to jump up the eye-sealing defense.
Wang Jun created the first shot and shot space, but unfortunately he made a fuss. Evans protected the backcourt rebound, and the 76ers immediately made a fast break.
Miller passed the ball accurately to Green, who easily passed Novak with the ball and made a layup. 0 to 2.
The Bulls attacked, and Lewis received the ball 60 degrees to the right. Wang Jun relied on David Lee to run to the bottom corner on the right. He took the ball and turned around and paused.
Iguodala and Evans double-teamed him, Wang Jun passed the ball to the middle, David Li jumped in the open space, and the ball missed the basket.
There is bad news for the Bulls, that is, after David Li returned from a palm injury, his mid-range shot was not as accurate as before. It would be fine if he took more shots to find the target, but he had been working as a blue-collar worker in the team.
Dalemport grabbed the rebound for Miller, who passed Calderon in one step and brought it to the frontcourt. Wang Jun let go of Iguodala to make up for defense. Miller passed the ball, and Iguodala made a shot from the 60-degree open position on the left. 0-4.
Calderon was still chasing Miller but did not change defense, Novak followed Green without any awareness of restoring defense, and the other two came back slowly. The Bulls failed to get in the position in the joint defense.
The Bulls attacked, and Wang Jun attracted double teams to pass the ball to David Li. David Li still failed to make a mid-range shot, which was a terrible death.
The more the character player fails to make a shot, the more his opponent dares to double-team Wang Jun, which is a vicious cycle.
Wang Jun quickly returned to defense and followed Miller in the middle, and Calderon was easily passed.
Miller passed the ball to Iguodala on the outside, who got a big open position 70 degrees on the right side, and there was no defense within three meters. He had no confidence to shoot three-pointers, and he also missed the basket with a mid-range shot in one step, wasting an excellent opportunity.
Wang Jun protected the backcourt rebound and gave Calderon a sweat.
If he faced this opportunity, he would definitely win. It would be okay to give 76ers a shot like this, but the opponent's three-pointers in the next round would not be so bad, right?
The Bulls attacked, and Calderon passed it to Wang Jun as soon as he passed the ball. He took the ball and turned around in the middle, and his teammates pulled it away.
Lewis ran to 60 degrees on the right, Evans defended, Wang Jun took the ball and broke into the right side, but Iguodala followed him and leaned against the ball with his back and turned to the bottom line and took a step back to take action.
He moved very smoothly, and he avoided the cover again, but the ball bounced out of the frame. Iguoda stretched out his hand to seal his eyes and still interfered with it.
Dalemport grabbed the rebound and gave Green a rebound, who quickly passed Novak to the frontcourt with an acceleration, Calderon made up for defense, Green passed the ball from the left, and Miller made a basketball over the right. 0-6.
The Bulls had loopholes in the defense at the beginning, and Skeles was considering substitutions.
Wang Jun also sighed in his heart: Today is not the day when the gods descend to earth, and their hands are not hot enough.
He had fought with Iguodala many times, even if he couldn't block it, the interference was real, and Iguodala could be called a defensive expert.
Chapter completed!
