Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 298 [Are you ready to follow?]

The Nets' number of live broadcasts in the United States in the new season did not decrease due to the departure of Martin and Kittles. On the contrary, it increased by four games compared with last season, ranking in the upper middle.

The number of live broadcasts is only one aspect, and it also depends on the popularity of the team and the popularity of the stars. Kidd is the core of the Nets, Wang Jun's rise has also attracted a lot of attention, they are the key.

"Sharks travel east", the Lakers' new season's live broadcasts are still among the best, because Kobe has a super scoring ability.

With O'Neal, the Heat have been promoted to the top three in the league. Experts predict that they will hit the championship. This is the charm of superstars.

Because of the introduction of McGrady, the Rockets have soared to fourth in the league in live broadcast rankings. It can be seen that their appeal is far better than that of Francis and Mobley. The Rockets were only ranked in the middle before.

The Nets are not favored. The first strength list was announced, ranking 21st in the league. As the defending champion, this is unimaginable.

The reason for the experts is simple. The Nets are now relying on Jefferson and Wang Jun. It is doubtful how many victories they can lead the team to. If they lose too many games in the first two months, they may even miss the playoffs.

ESPN did not forget to complain about the management operation after Brook took over the Nets.

Columnist Nicholas said: "The goal of the Nets is not to defend the championship, but to benefit from Wang Jun, Jefferson, and Korver. They will take on more offensive responsibilities. Inside defense is a weakness, and Kostic and Williams must defend themselves. Can't compare to Martin."

The first game is the "China Derby". After the NBA held the China game, it came up with this method to attract fans.

Another gimmick is Jefferson vs. McGrady.

Last season, Jefferson had no power to fight back against McGrady, and he couldn't prevent him at all. This time he has a heavy task.

It is also possible that Wang Jun will match up with McGrady and hand over the task of defending Jim Jackson to Jefferson, depending on the specific arrangement of the coach.

On the evening of November 2, the opening match was full of audience.

The season ticket sales of the Nets this year are not good. Many fans came to watch the "Yao-Mac Combination". Some people in the stands held signs supporting Tracy McGrady. Hope he can score 60+ again.

I hope that the star of the visiting team can kill the home team. If it is at the devil's home court where the fans have a strong sense of belonging, this guy should be thrown out.

Before the start of the game, the team conducted a simple championship ring awarding ceremony.

Former boss Lewis? Katz also attended the ceremony, received his own ring.

Interestingly, as the owner of the team, Bruce didn't have a ring, and the person who delivered the speech was President Thorne.

Kidd participated in the ceremony and got the ring. The fans gave a warm applause.

When Wang Jun received the ring, the applause he received was even warmer than that of Kidd. The fans felt that the championship was due to the collision between him and Malone.

During the live broadcast, Zhang Lili looked at the profiles of several newcomers of the Nets and expressed emotion: "The game is about to begin. Wang Jun's performance in the preseason game is eye-catching, but the data is not recorded in those eight games. Today's match against the lineup The upgraded rocket is his chance to prove himself."

Yu Jia is obviously not optimistic about the Nets. "The lineup is definitely dominated by the Rockets. This year they have become the favorites to win the championship. The internal and external dual-core model is similar to the OK combination. The two-time scoring champion McGrady did not try his best in the preseason. Today we will see how he can perform."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult for the Nets to win at home. The weak lineup is not a bad thing for Wang Jun. He can have more possessions."

After warming up the players went out.

Nets starters: Vaughn, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Eric Williams, Collins.

The Nets came up with a small-ball lineup, and the players were shorter than last season. Although there is Kostic, Lawrence is worried about his defense and plans to investigate for a period of time before reuse.

Rockets starting: Charlie Ward, McGrady, Jim Jackson, Morris Taylor, Yao Ming.

Sending Francis away, the biggest weakness of the Rockets is the No. 1 position. Veteran Charlie Ward's peak data is only 7.8 points and 5.7 assists. College is a football game.

Even so, Charlie is better than the Tyronn Lue traded from the Magic, who is a defensive colander.

McGrady stood with Wang Jun, and Wang Jun smiled at him. He said softly, "Are you ready to follow?"

McGrady's hazy eyes immediately brightened up, bringing back bad memories. When the Magic played against the Nets last season, Wang Jun's style of play impressed him deeply. To prevent him, he really had to keep running.

To make matters worse, the Rockets' usual tactic is man-to-man.

The Nets play zone rather than man-to-man. If McGrady attacks Wang Jun's side, they will match up.

Yao Ming jumped the ball to win and the game started.

Charlie passed the ball to McGrady, Yao Ming came out to cover Jefferson, McGrady broke through with the ball, and Eric quickly switched defenses.

The Nets entered the finals three times and won the championship by surprise. In addition to the three-pointer, the defensive system is also important. Eric is tall, weighs 100 kg, and has a small forward body. , exactly for Tracy McGrady's characteristics.

McGrady failed to break through with the ball, and was assigned to Jim Jackson on the outside.

Jackson had a brilliant career with the Mavericks, peaking at 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He once fought with Kidd to grab a woman. Now Kidd is sitting on the sidelines watching the game. He probably wanted to stimulate Kidd with his outstanding performance, and chose to attack with the ball.

Wang Jun kept a distance to follow up the defense, Jackson made an emergency stop for a jumper, Wang Jun stepped forward to interfere, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Collins caught Yao Ming and helped Jefferson grab a rebound.

The Nets attacked, and Vaughn took it to the frontcourt to observe his teammates' running positions.

When rehearsing tactics in the training camp, what Lawrence emphasized the most was when Wang Jun caught the ball while running back. Vaughn practiced for a month, and the timing was good.

Wang Jun relied on Collins to cover to get rid of McGrady and catch the ball at 60 degrees on the right.

At this time, Taylor needed to switch defenses. He defended the black hole well, as if he hadn't reacted, and stood still at the horns.

Wang Jun shot a jumper without any pressure and went into the net hollow! 3 to 0.

Zhang Lili praised: "Wang Jun scored the Nets' first goal of the new season, a symbolic three-pointer. He was really accurate at this point, and basically scored if he didn't defend."

Yu Jia said: "I don't understand why Van Gundy didn't let Juwan Howard start. He has rich experience and may play better. Although Taylor is an old man on the team, he performed poorly in the first two seasons."

Charlie took the ball to the frontcourt, McGrady faced Wang Jun on the left side, and wanted to return a three-pointer from the outside. He jumped very high, and Wang Jun couldn't cover it. The arc of the ball was very flat, and it bounced out of the frame.

Yao Ming was blocked by Collins, and Eric easily got the backcourt rebound.

The rest of the Rockets returned to the defense quickly, and the Nets played in a positional battle with the same cooperation. Wang Jun got rid of the ball from the right and shot a three-pointer.

brush! Wang Jun hit the second three-pointer, 6-0.

Zhang Lili became excited: "Another three-pointer! Wang Jun made it clear before the season that he would be the team's top scorer, and he missed the shot as soon as he came up today. I think the fans may see him and McGrady's big point battle. "

Yu Jia sighed: "Without Kidd, Wang Jun has assumed the responsibility of the leader. I think he has already walked ahead of Yao Ming." (To be continued.)
