Chapter 787 [AND1, forbearance]
On the 6th, the Kings defeated the Grizzlies 104-87 at home.
The Grizzlies have obvious weaknesses. Gasol and Love are too slow inside and can only play in the defense. Guy and DeRozan overlap with their positions on the outside, and they have poor mid-range shots. The person with the strongest three-point ability in the team is actually power forward Love.
The Grizzlies have a very slow pace and are grinding their positions again and again, and the score is not too high.
In the summer, the Grizzlies used a mini middle class to poach Tony Allen from the Celtics, an absolute defensive expert.
In this game, Wang Jun, who was defending with DeRozan, dropped his efficiency, and in the end he had only 34% shooting percentage and scored 21 points.
James beat Guy, and the others performed well on the outside, and the King won without any danger.
There was a lot of news that James, who made a triple-double, said that he was the core of the King and was more stable than Wang Jun. James' shooting percentage this season hit a career high, reaching 53.2%.
Before Wang Jun could speak, James slapped the media in the face.
On the 8th, the Kings beat the Timberwolves at home, and James was invisible by Gallinari and Milicic. He made 2 of 15 shots in the game, plus free throws, only scored 11 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
Garlinari plays better and better, averaging 16.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. The small forward with a height of 208cm is also moving very fast. He is the type that James hates, keeps a distance and shoots, and then goes forward to interfere.
James' jump shot feels bad, and when he goes in and faces Milicic, he passes the ball most of the time, and there is no data.
Wang Jun made a 42-pointer, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Ray Allen also scored 27 points. After sending away Al Jefferson, the Timberwolves offense was at its limit and ranked last in the Western Conference.
On the 10th, the group flew to Phoenix and the whole team rested for a day.
Ryan Hughes found out the itinerary of the And1 team and called Wang Jun. There happened to be an exhibition match in Phoenix.
Streetball players are far worse than NBA players, and their income and fame are inferior in all aspects. It is difficult to find the schedule of the Streetball Tour, and it is even more difficult to find a complete list of players and detailed information.
Hughes struggled to confirm that the person Wang Jun wanted to see was on the list, and then asked someone to book two seats close to the player's seat.
Except for famous figures such as Hot Sauce, Professors, M, Ali Moe, etc., no one else is well-known to basketball fans.
Ali Moe is known as "Kobe on the street court". Most of his fame is not because of his invincible skills, but because of his only player in the world who refuses the invitation from the NBA. In fact, even if he goes to the NBA, he will still fight against the marginal people.
m just won the championship of the amateur slam dunk contest, and his popularity is still declining.
Last year, the And1 World Tour Tour was teased by Brazilian streetballers at the South American station. And1's group mainly showed breakthroughs and dunks. Brazil had a lot of shots in addition to playing tricks.
M sleepwalking throughout the game, and was hit by a ball in the head without saying a word. His teammates started a conflict in defense and watched the fun on the side, which disappointed American street fans.
Wang Jun asked Curry to go to the game together and took this little brother to relax.
Although Curry's shooting percentage has been stable since the start of the game, his data is average, averaging 28.1 minutes per game, 14.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.5 steals.
The media originally said that the combination of "two kings and one queen" has now disappeared, and Yi Jianlian scored more points than Curry.
Curry averaged only 11.4 shots per game, hit 5.6 shots, and reduced his free throws to only 1.8 times, and rarely broke through with the ball. His highlight was that he could average 2.1 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of more than 45%.
Wang Jun watched the streetball game, and was like a fireflies in the dark on the sidelines, so vivid and outstanding. A reporter immediately targeted him, and nearby fans asked for autographs.
Streetballers also noticed him, and several people showed eagerness to try. If they could play with Wang Jun, it would be a shortcut to becoming famous.
However, Wang Jun is here to be an audience, so it is not easy to get him to an end.
At the beginning of the game, Curry was a little absent-minded and asked, "Why are we going to watch the show game? Should we also have to attack fast and not defend like them?"
"Of course not. I'm here to find inspiration for dunks and prepare to participate in the All-Star Dunk Contest and chat with you by the way." Wang Jun replied.
"What are you talking about?" Curry blinked. Recently, he shaved his beard and spoke like he was malicious and cute.
There were not many audiences in the performance competition, and there was no one around them, and they were not afraid of being heard when they spoke.
Wang Jun asked: "You have fewer shots than last season. Do you feel dissatisfied? Just say something. I see you are embarrassed to speak in the locker room."
Curry covered his face and sighed, "There is one thing. The coach asked me to play for too short. It is definitely okay for me to play for more than 30 minutes. Can you tell me and the coach and increase my ball rights?"
Wang Jun shook his head. "No, I'm talking to you about this because I want you to stay selfless. This season, I will work hard on the team, learn from veteran experience, and be a good pitcher on the court. For only one year, I hope you can endure it."
"Well……"
Wang Jun explained: "There are many veterans in the team, Ray Allen and Peja can't only shoot 5 times in a game, and someone will have to split the ball. Yi Jianlian is a free agent after the end of this season, and he needs to play good numbers and compete for a big contract. So, we all have to make some sacrifices. It's just that you are young and look the most tender, so the coach sacrifices you more."
Curry could only nod. Wang Jun did not explain to him that the coach reduced his ball rights and he could only obey.
He paused and smiled and said, "I feel much more at ease after hearing what you said. Can I increase the ball rights next season?"
Wang Jun nodded and said, "It must be possible, you are the point guard."
The ball rights will be easier to allocate next season, and Wang Jun knows this.
Helping Yi Jianlian to brush data is the common meaning of the coaching team and the management. Vivik also talked to Wang Jun about this matter.
After this season, Yi Jianlian is a libero. The team has two stars Wang Jun and James, which occupy a lot of salary space. In addition, Lei Allen still has a one-year contract of 8 million yuan, so it is impossible to give Yi Jianlian a high-paying long-term contract in the summer.
The management plan is to let Yi Jianlian play good data to arouse the interest of other teams, sign first and then exchange, find cheap rookies to train, or exchange future draft picks.
This is to maximize the benefits, so the king will not let an insider go in vain, nor will he have to suppress Yi Jianlian's playing time to seek a low-paying contract renewal.
If Wang Jun’s little brother only left a copy of the middle class, Vivik seemed too unfavorable, and Yi Jianlian and his agent were probably not satisfied.
Communication in advance, if Wang Jun wants Yi Jianlian to stay, they will think of other measures to renew the contract. In any case, Wang Jun must be satisfied.
Wang Jun tried it out with Yi Jianlian. He hoped to get an annual salary of tens of millions. Under similar effects, he was much more commercially valuable than Fry and was not satisfied with 30 million in five years.
As long as you win the championship, some veterans will leave or retire in the summer. You don’t have to worry about face issues when you come to find new players. It is normal to have no right to play, and Curry can take more actions.
There is no confrontation in the game, just the two sides perform single-handed and fast attacks, breakthroughs and cooperation in various ways.
Ordinary audiences find it very interesting and applaud from time to time. With Wang Jun and Curry's professional vision, these people are far from playing basketball in teams, and they don't have the back to help with these things.
After playing for a while, he was replaced. Within five meters away from Wang Jun, he sat in the audience and scanned his abilities smoothly.
