Super Lord of the Rings

On the 11th, the Bulls beat the Cavaliers at home.

Tyson Chandler was injured again, unfortunately twisting his knee while rebounding.

As soon as he covered his knees, everyone became nervous. Oden was injured and reimbursed for his knees. If Chandler misses the playoffs again, the team will not have a good defensive center. Amundson and PJ Brown are not at the same level. .

After examination, fortunately, his injury was not serious, and he was absent for two to four weeks, at most he could not play in the first round of the playoffs. The Bulls can survive the first round without Chandler.

The rest of Barnes and Chandler will not affect the offense, and the defense is obviously weaker. The Bulls can only attack and win.

David Lee, Lewis, Novak, Wang Jun, Calderon five people, 13 home game Magic started a berserk attack.

Wang Jun's goal is not only to be the scoring champion, but also to average 40+ per game.

He has taken more shots this season since Lewis was injured. His average of 28.4 shots per game has surpassed Kobe's 2006 shots, and his average of 10.3 free throws per game is also a career high.

The number of singles has increased, and it is common for Wang Jun to take more than 15 shots in a quarter. If it weren't for the return of Lewis and David Lee, they would have played like this throughout the season, and it would be very possible to shoot 30+.

He is addicted to shooting, and many games are won by himself. Except for Lewis, who averaged 13.2 shots per game, no one on the team shot in double figures, and Hill dropped to 9.5 shots per game.

If Wang Jun becomes selfless, he may miss the opportunity to average 40+ per game. If he misses this time, he may never have the opportunity to touch 40+ data in his life.

The number of shots taken by players must be allocated well. For example, the Celtics' Big Three all have less than 15 shots. The sharing of rights has reached a balance and the efficiency has been guaranteed to win so many games. The special case of Wang Jun will affect the team's overall tactics. Make teammates dependent on it.

By this time, Skiles was also helping him. The emphasis on tactics is to let him shoot as much as he wants.

On this day of rest, Wang Jun invited Skiles to dinner to express his gratitude, and the master and apprentice chatted alone.

Wang Jun proposed to hit 40+, and he shot with all his strength in the last three games, and Skiles agreed without thinking.

"I don't mind if you shoot more than 50 times. Just like the Celtics game, you can shoot boldly. I will help you with your teammates. People who have been injured slowly find their status, and they can't be in a hurry. They say no What happened."

"coach,

Thank you, I have already won the scoring champion. I thought you would disagree and say a few words about me. "

Wang Jun easily achieved his goal. Smooth like 2006. It's just that there is no competitor this time, and James, who is ranked second, has just reached 30 points.

Skiles smiled and said: "Every player is greedy in terms of statistics. I have been a player and I know this feeling very well. When I was young, I often fantasized about what would happen if I could become a superstar. Every new season starts , I would think that it would be great if I could average 30+10 per game, and win the scoring and assists titles together.”

Wang Jun listened carefully.

Everyone cares about data, that's a fact. Even if it is always called a team player. James, who wants people to say he is selfless, often finds time to look at the statistics before the game is over. I want to know how many points I have scored, whether I have a chance to get a triple-double and so on.

Is a person without any desire still a human being?

Skiles sighed: "Unfortunately, many people just think about it and can't do it. Now you have the opportunity to do it. If others give up, will you be happy? You made sacrifices last season and we won many games , but your popularity has declined, and some fans feel that you are not as good as Kobe."

"Yes, fans care more about statistics than players." Wang Jun nodded: "But with this arrangement, will the coach be very stressed?"

The team is not in the hands of Skiles alone, how can there be no pressure? Wang Jun was very curious.

Skiles said relaxedly: "I may have to leave after the end of this season, so I don't care about the pressure."

"No way, why?" Wang Jun was stunned. He and Skiles hit it off, which is not good news.

It's not uncommon for a coach to leave the team after consecutive championships. The last team that happened to this kind of thing was the Bulls.

In 1998, Jordan and Pippen were already old, and it was difficult for the team to continue to win the championship. Jackson's departure was justifiable, and now the Bulls are dominated by young cores.

"It's not just the players who will fight for the ball on the field, the management will also fight for power. Between me and Paxson, the owner chooses the manager. It's obvious since they haven't talked to me about the contract extension. .” Skiles said lightly.

"What exactly is going on?"

"The manager and the owner asked me to train Greg many times to increase his ball possessions. I have never done this. You can see what that guy looks like. He doesn't have a low-post attack. He just plays pick-and-rolls and cuts and doesn't know how to get reimbursed. No, I can't see him."

Wang Jun nodded lightly, and also felt that Auden was exaggerated by the media. It is a fact that his talent is not bad, but talent does not mean he can become a superstar. The first element of a superstar is endurance, and Hill is an example. Oden was easily injured, and it was still a rookie season, and it is still unknown what will happen in the future.

Skiles went on to say: "I talked with the boss, I want to insist on the outside line as the core, and I want the right to trade and sign. I want to be a manager and head coach, so that there is more freedom, like Larry Bird , Thomas, McHale. The boss doesn't want me to have too much power, maybe he thinks this Bulls can be successful with anyone as a coach."

Wang Jun frowned. "You have coached this team very well, with flexible tactics. The boss has no reason to give up, right? What if we lose next year?"

"You know how to play ball, but you don't know how to do business. The thinking of a businessman is different from those of us who are players. I have already won two championships. If I want to renew my contract, I have to have a big contract. I also want to drive away the best manager. I don't want to cultivate The inner core, this is contrary to the boss’s idea. It’s cheaper than me to find a coach who is willing to use the insider. If he wins, he will save money and show that he has a good eye for money.”

To put it bluntly, the boss looked down on Skiles and thought he was overrated.

Back then, when the Bulls approached Skiles as their head coach, they just had the mentality of giving it a try. They never thought he was irreplaceable. They didn't expect him to achieve amazing results as a transitional coach.

Now the boss of the Bulls really wants to make Oden another "cash cow". He doesn't want to see a coach-manager. After all, even Phil Jackson has no such experience. In the Lakers, Jackson also fell out because of power issues, and now he is still working with Kupchak when he returns.

Wang Jun was silent for a moment, raised his glass and said, "No matter what, we will have a happy cooperation this season and do our best."

"Well, we must win the championship. As the coach of the Triple Crown, I can also go to other teams to get a high salary. Before that, you can win the scoring champion and create a miracle." Skiles raised his glass and Wang Jun touched it lightly.

Both of them are drinking drinks, but it seems that a thousand glasses of wine are too few to meet a bosom friend. They both felt that it would be difficult to find such a tacit understanding without each other.

Wang Jun has no scruples and wants to shoot with all his strength, not wanting to leave regrets for himself.

No matter how he plays this season, no one will raise objections. The Bulls currently have no one else to praise, and there will be no such good things in the future.
