Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 509 [Good reputation, good news]

Wang Jun had an eye-catching performance in the last game. He made 13 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 35 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. ⊙. ⊙

Entering the playoffs, he averaged 30.8 points per game, shooting 50.2% from the field, 43% from three-pointers, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

In addition to scoring, his statistics have improved compared with the regular season.

After the game, the media unanimously praised Wang Jun and the Bulls in their news releases, even the ABC radio station, which was not pleasing to Wang Jun, was no exception.

ABC Radio changed its tone because it couldn't do otherwise. Wang Jungang helped the Bulls reach the Eastern Conference finals in his first year, winning the scoring title and the MVP. He may be able to go further than Nash did in the Suns last season.

If you continue to belittle Wang Jun and say that he is not a superstar, isn't that against your IQ? Or do you want to lower the IQ of all fans through the news?

The leaders of the major media are not simple people, and they will not do such stupid things that smash their own brands. It is of no benefit and will only affect their own interests. Too much to say, those big businessmen with strong backgrounds and great energy who seek Wang Jun as endorsements will come to trouble them.

Now, unless a powerful person like Bush Jr. dislikes Wang Jun and sends a man in black to point a gun at the head of the media bosses and say: "The news must say bad things about Wang Jun, if you don't, your whole family will be killed. "Otherwise, no one would deliberately oppose Wang Jun when they were full.

The media will play with the wind. If they want to fight against it, they have to wait for Wang Jun to do something stupid, to have a scandal, or under the premise of a serious decline in personal data and team records.

People are very realistic, especially Americans. They will not get along with influential stars, and they will even do some dirty things to maintain the reputation of stars in order to achieve the purpose of making money.

For example, Carl Lewis admitted in 2003 that he had indeed been found to have taken three types of prohibited drugs, but was "extrajudicially granted" by the US Olympic Committee and continued to participate in the Olympic Games.

This is the treatment of big-name stars, and there may be boundless darkness hidden under the brilliance.

Another round of the Eastern Conference series was more intense. The Pacers and the Heat became 3-3.

The Pacers showed the background of last season's Eastern Conference champions, combining inside and outside. The offense played well.

The combination of Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson defended Wade well, reducing his shooting percentage.

However, the Pacers have an advantage facing the Nets inside,

Facing the Heat has become the Achilles' heel. They lack a big center who can fight people.

Croshire, Foster, and O'Neal couldn't defend against the "big shark". The Pacers could only rely on foul tactics and shrinking the defense to stop the opponent's inside attack. West, Walker, the Pacers have long been eliminated.

21st. The seventh game between the two sides started in Miami.

The Pacers Artest, Jackson, and O'Neal felt cold. They made a lot of shots throughout the game. The Pacers also lacked three-point shooters after Miller retired.

The Heat hoisted the ball to the inside and handed it to O'Neal to attack. The efficiency was very high. In addition, Williams, Walker, and Posey made 9 three-pointers from the outside. They eliminated their opponents with difficulty and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The West is also divided into winners and losers, both of whom have played seven games.

On the 22nd, the Suns beat the Clippers 127 to 107 at home.

The Suns played a magical game, with only seven players rotating throughout the game. And all seven scored in double figures.

The Suns mainly won on three-pointers, making 15 of 27 shots, and the Clippers made 0 of 4 three-pointers.

The Mavericks beat the defending champion Spurs 119-111.

The Mavericks are a team that is always strong and weak, and it seems that the players' attention can't be concentrated all the time. With a 3-1 lead, they were chased by the Spurs for two consecutive games and dragged into the seventh game of life and death.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, the Mavericks regained their senses and attacked aggressively at the beginning.

The Mavericks shot 15 of 18 in the first quarter, including 3 of 5 three-pointers. Howard and Nowitzki scored 11 and 10 points respectively.

The Spurs pale in comparison. They only made 8 of 13 shots in the first quarter. Fortunately, they got 14 free throw opportunities, otherwise they would have opened up the score in a single quarter. 37 to 27.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks continued to expand their advantage, and Stackhouse led the team to play a wave of 10 to 2. 47 to 29 achieved an 18-point advantage. The main players of the Spurs returned to the field and narrowed the gap to 13 points. Then Mavericks guard Terry hit consecutive three-pointers and played a wave of 9 to 2. With 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in this section, they led by 58 to 38 by 20 points .

In the second half, the Mavericks players lost their sights. The score was gradually recovered by the Spurs.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs also relied on Duncan to score 6 points in a row to complete the overtake.

At the critical moment, Nowitzki scored 3 points with shots and penalties, and the two teams tied at 104 with 21.6 seconds left in regular time. The Spurs handed over the final blow to Ginobili. After he took possession of the ball and used up almost all the time, he forced a breakthrough and missed a shot. Duncan grabbed an offensive rebound and failed to make a tip-up. Unfortunately, he was dragged into overtime .

The Mavericks took 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 facing the Mavericks led by Nowitzki is a headache.

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 home court advantage.

Another piece of good news is that the league held the 2006 NBA draft lottery ceremony before the start of the game. The Bulls were lucky and won the second pick.

The Raptors won the No. 1 pick, the Bobcats won the No. 3 pick, and the Trail Blazers, who had the last record in the Western Conference, were fourth.

Due to the low probability of several teams drawing to the front, the Timberwolves were unlucky. The penultimate record in the Western Conference only won the fifth pick, which is also the lowest pick they can get theoretically.

After the lottery ended, the Bulls' management immediately opened champagne to celebrate. Eddie Curry's deal made a lot of money. Not surprisingly, he will still be able to select a high-ranking rookie next year.

After toasting, Reinsdorf asked, "John, who is going to be the second pick in June? Inside or outside?"

John Paxson smiled and said: "Actually, I'm more inclined to use the draft picks and someone to package and replace with an experienced star, so that the Bulls will be stronger next season. Our chances of winning this season are not high, and the lineup is not four. The best on the team."

Reinsdorf is not surprised at all. With Luol Deng and David Lee in the team, it seems that there is no need for a high-ranking 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, a high-ranking insider rookie is selected, and his position overlaps, at least one has to be discarded.

It is even more unnecessary to choose a high-ranked rookie on the outside. How much ball rights can Wang Jun get as a rookie? If the small forward has to compete with Luol Deng and Nocioni. If you are a role player, there is no need to use newcomers, you can find them in the free market.

The general manager wants to trade rookies out because the Bulls' lineup is too deep.

The boss cares about salary. "John, if we trade a star player, can the salary be controlled? Adding Chandler, Wang Jun and the contract, how can we renew the contracts of other players in the future?"

"I will try my best to deal with this. Should I consider winning the championship first?" Paxon asked back.

"You're right, let's talk about it after the season is over, and report the situation to me at any time, don't choose someone with high salary and low ability."

"clear."
