Super Lord of the Rings

The Nets attack, Gasol and Paul pick and roll in the high post, Smith switches to guard Paul, and Whiteside stays on the baseline with Randolph.

Paul distributed the ball to the center. Gasol was misplaced against Curry. He missed the shot and passed the ball to Randolph over Curry's head. The fat man retreated further outside, caught the ball from the right baseline and made a fadeaway jumper. 7 to 4.

Whiteside didn't defend enough outside, so he couldn't do anything about the ball.

The Kings attacked, Wang Jun caught the ball across half court, turned to the right, faced the frame, and took a step to the right. Wade moved sideways to keep up, Wang Jun dribbled the ball behind his back to his left hand, moved sideways to the middle and changed direction.

Wade's judgment was correct, but he took one step laterally and was blocked by Whiteside who pulled out to cover. Gasol changed defense to block the breakthrough route. Wade pursued the defense. The two double-teamed Wang Jun and forced Wang Jun to the outside.

Wang Jun took the ball and retreated, protected the basketball with his back, lowered his center of gravity and took a few quick shots, and withdrew from the three-point line to open up space. Whiteside cut inside, and Gasol quickly retracted to defend the cut.

Wang Jun found out the details of the Nets' defense. The inside line only blocked the perimeter, but still did not dare to completely double-team. Then, all he needs to do is not look for cover and challenge directly from the outside to get an opportunity.

Gasol has to take on more tasks. If he guards out and only relies on Randolph to protect the penalty area, there will definitely be no good results. This is the Nets' biggest weakness. Their first record in the league depends on their offense.

The Kings and Warriors fought hard defensively and won the game. In this game, Wang Jun has to compete with his opponent on his personal ability.

He withdrew from the three-point line without passing the ball, turned around again to face the frame, dribbled continuously from his hips and then changed direction to the right, leaned against Wade with his back, held the ball in his left hand and turned to the middle to make a step-back jump shot.

This time he took a high shot and no one came up to double-team him. Wade tried his best to interfere, but the ball went wide.

Gasol grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, Wade went on a fast break, received a pass from Paul, and advanced quickly with the ball. Wang Jun couldn't get rid of it completely in a one-on-one challenge with Mi Zongbu, and he couldn't hit the board at a 45-degree angle on the right side under interference. Enter.

Smith grabbed the backcourt rebound. Wang Jun defended Wade and rushed forward as soon as he landed. The transition between offense and defense was extremely fast. Wade rushed out of the baseline and almost hit the reporter under the basket. He turned around and ran back to catch up. Not on.

Smith passed the ball to Wang Jun. He pushed forward in the middle, attracted Joe Johnson's defense, and distributed the ball to the left. Carroll made an open jumper and hit a three-pointer. 10 to 4.

Nets fans were muted for an instant, and the joy of guarding Wang Jun no longer existed. He could convert a few chances into points.

Paul and Gasol pick and roll,

Attracting Smith to switch defense, the ball passed to the center. Gasol caught the ball and made a high jump shot. 10 to 6.

Curry is the king's biggest weapon on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is the target of the opponent's main attack. He cannot block the big man's shots and suffers from confrontation. If he defends a zone and lets him guard Wade, his opponent will definitely beat him with his body, so he can only man-to-man.

When the Kings attack, Wang Jun catches the ball with one step inside the three-point line on the right side, forming a triangle with Carroll and Curry. Both of them can shoot three-pointers. As long as they are double-teamed, they will have an opportunity.

Wang Jun held the ball in one hand, leaned against Wade, shook his right shoulder, turned to the right side of the court, and shot a 45-degree fadeaway jumper. There is no step back, just leaning back, relying entirely on rhythm.

Now he has the advantages of height and spring speed, and can create opportunities without fake moves.

Wade used his rich skills to make up for the loopholes caused by his poor physical fitness and aged gracefully, but against Wang Jun, his disadvantages still emerged.

Wade's judgment was very accurate. He couldn't cover it when he jumped from the side, so he could only close his eyes. Wang Jun's rhythm was perfect, he glanced at the basket and shot, and the ball hit the board and went into the frame. 12 to 6, personal 9th ​​point.

Nets head coach Thibodeau is worried about Wade. Wade's selection to the All-Defensive Team several times is not just a boast. He is very capable of single defense and assist defense. If he can't limit Wang Jun, he can It’s not easy.

Wang Jun's defense is much more effective and he always has a way to make Wade uncomfortable.

Paul knew that Wade's three-pointer was not good, so he could only break through with the ball. Wang Jun's defense was excellent at breaking through, so he didn't pass to Wade. He picked and rolled to attract defender Gasol, who attracted Whiteside and gave it to Randolph in the low post.

Randolph singled out Smith, turned around and his throw was interfered with and missed. Wang Jun retreated and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

In a positional battle, Wang Jun took one step inside the three-point line to get the ball as before, leaned on Wade twice, turned 45 degrees and shot a fadeaway jumper. It looked like he was almost blocked. Wade's defense was very good, but it was useless. , the shot goes in, and the shot is clean and neat.

14 to 6, personal 11th point.

When the Nets attacked, Paul suddenly broke through with the ball, passed Curry, attracted Smith to cover, and passed the ball from close range. Randolph caught the ball on the right baseline, and Wang Jun let go of Wade to cover.

Randolph passed the ball to Wade on the right, and Curry changed positions. Wade made a sudden stop for a jump shot, but missed it again due to interference. Whiteside tipped the ball out, and Carroll caught the ball and passed it to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun ran at full speed and threw away Randolph. Paul and Gasol returned to defense relatively quickly.

Gasol retreated relatively deep and Paul was outside, which was a bad thing.

Wang Jun grabbed a shot from one meter outside the three-point line on the left side, regardless of the fact that no teammate was rebounding under the basket. Paul is too short, and even though he tried his best to block shots, he was far behind. Wang Jun shot without pressure, his shot rhythm was very good, and the ball hit the net hollowly.

17 to 6, personal 14th point.

Thibodeau requested a timeout, and the Nets' home fans became quiet. Many people are no longer optimistic about the Nets, and some people don't want to believe this is true.

"No, Wang Jun is too good. Even the All-Stars can't beat him. You need perimeter defenders like Leonard and Tony Allen to be able to beat him."

"It's so normal for Wang Jun to win the MVP. He can't defend one-on-one. Randolph has to go out. I think Smith is less of a threat."

"I think now, just don't let him break the scoring record in the finals..."

It would be very exciting if Wang Jun scored high points at the Nets' home court. This kind of thing is very likely to happen. Everyone can see that he has a convulsion in his hand today.

Thibodeau emphasized defensive tactics and asked the players to guard Wang Jun tighter.

He didn't plan to make any substitutions. This was the Nets' strongest lineup, and other swingmen would definitely not be as defensive as Wade. He was thinking anxiously about how he could limit Wang Jun.

Wang Jun's current style of play reminds him of Yao Ming when he was with the Rockets. He singled out in the low post, attracting double teams and sending out, making it difficult for his opponents to double team.

Because Yao Ming is slow, people on the side can help defend and put some pressure on him. It's impossible to defend against Wang Jun. He is too fast, whether he is dribbling or distributing the ball, and you can't go around him. He attacks well without the ball. If you start to go around, he will go directly to the basket.

Thibodeau recalled what Van Gundy, who was also a mentor and friend, said.

"There is no perfect core in this world. What a good coach has to do is to try his best to arrange suitable tactics, play the role of the core, and let him drive the whole team."

Thibodeau used to think this was reasonable, but now he begins to doubt it.

Regardless of Ewing, Houston, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, the Celtics' Big Three, or players from the Bulls era, Thibodeau watched them train, watch them play, and work together, knowing that they all have weaknesses. But now he watches Wang Jun play and doesn't know what his weaknesses are.

On the court, he is already perfect.
