Chapter 145 [Preseason Premiere]

Wang Jun closed his eyes and started the lottery.

After a while, the system prompted: "I obtained the rebound training card three and moved to the warehouse."

Hell, it's rebounding training again, does the system not know that the host is the outside?

Wang Jun was a little helpless.

He worked hard to lose weight in order to become a classic No. 2 position, a star who mainly shoots, breaks through, and passes, just like Michael Jordan.

The second article of the confrontation training was drawn, and the rebounding training cards were all three. What was the problem? Will he develop in the direction of Barkley?

Wang Jun went into the warehouse to look at the props and found that it was different from the one and two. In the previous rebounding training, he was only prompted to block the position, take-off time, etc. during the game, and blocking the third update was useful.

Rebound training card 3: Visually connect the training system, enters the virtual shooting mode, assist the host to judge the direction of the basketball popping out, prompts the best rebounding time, the main training host's reaction speed and bounce. It can be turned off independently for three hours in total.

Wang Jun doesn't plan to practice immediately. What the team needs him the most is definitely not to grab rebounds, but to shoot.

A week later...

Wang Jun's position in the team has become stable, and he will definitely be an important rotation player in the new season.

Not only Kidd has a good impression of him, but the coaching staff is also very satisfied with Wang Jun. The first assistant coach Frank Lawrence also suggested that he play as a starting player. Jefferson's mobility is enough to prevent shooting guards, and Wang Jun can deal with a strong forward.

But Scott wanted Wang Jun to play as a substitute. He is a star maker. If he knew a mature starter, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't use it.

Winning the championship? Scott never seemed to have thought that he had no expression after losing last season, as if he was fine, otherwise Kidd would not have had a conflict with him.

No wonder Kidd, who is looking for victory, gets angry. Even fools can see that it is impossible for the Nets to maintain their original lineup to win the championship. They may not even be able to beat Pacers and Pistons this season.

After discussing with the assistant coaches, Scott insisted on his own opinion. This arrangement was more like a counterattack against Kidd and maintaining the authority of his head coach.

The training camp ended on October 3, the team rested, and the Nets began to warm up the preseason game on the 6th.

The first opponent, the Nets, chose the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wang Jun saw the famous Bradley Center away team locker room, which is why players hate playing away games in the Bucks.

The dressing room is very unique. You have to go through the bathroom to get to the players' closet. The changing room is very spacious.

Because the moisture is too heavy, the room tastes strange, as if something is moldy or rotting, which is an unbearable smell. It is said that Pat Riley came to Milwaukee to play away games and did not go to the away team's locker room, either going to the venue or wandering in the corridor.

Before the game started, Scott rejected Kidd's suggestion again and lined up for the starter: Kidd, Kidd, Jefferson, Martin, and Morning.

Mo Ning, who has returned from kidney disease, actually played in the preseason and started.

Although this is what the uniform group means, Scott did not raise any objection, even if the team doctor's suggestion was to let Mooning take a break as much as possible.

On the side of the Bucks, the five starting players are: TJ Ford, Mike Alread, Desmond Mason, Tim Thomas, and Joe Smith.

Ford was a rookie in 2003 and started the Bucks in the area. With his amazing speed, his breakthrough was very sharp.

Joe Smith won the jump ball. As the No. 1 pick in 1995, even if he became a tramp who worked everywhere, he could still play some role and was of great quality.

The Bucks picked and rolled, Ford broke through with the ball, and the Nets' defense immediately appeared.

Mo Ning's horizontal movement speed is too slow now and he can only make a meat shield. Ford accelerated and scored easily with a layup.

In the next round, Mooning failed to come out at the low post, Ford passed the ball, and Thomas made a three-pointer from the left.

Thomas is an alternative power forward. He is 208cm tall but likes to float from the outside to shoot three-pointers and doesn't easily go to the basket. Mo Ning's defensive role cannot be played out.

Reed is a strong No. 2 position, with his specialty being three-pointers. Joe Smith can also make a mid-range shot even if he misaligns the middle after pick-and-roll. The Bucks' offensive formation is very wide.

Kidd defends Reed, and the Bucks play in the middle; he defends Ford, and Reed can directly rely on his body to eat Kitels.

After playing for 6 minutes, the Nets were silent on the offensive end, but they couldn't defend themselves and were 13 points behind. Kidd, Jefferson and Morning had no touch.

The Nets sent Collins, Wang Jun, and replaced Kittels and Mooning.

Before playing, Kidd called Wang Jun to his side and taught his experience: "Wang, Mason has won the dunk king. He has strong physical fitness and average shooting ability. He prefers to protect the basketball with his back, squeeze out the opponent and turn around and break through. Your strength may be a little worse than him. I suggest you not to be close to him, keep a distance from him, and prevent breakouts and not shots."

"Thank you, I get it."

Kid patted Wang Jun on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, hit it at normal levels."

Finally on the court, Wang Jun took a deep breath.

The opponent is very strong, and defending Mason is already taking care of him, otherwise he will have to defend the outside core Reed.

He must seize the opportunity and impress the coach to get more playing time.

The net team attacked, Wang Jun ran to the bottom corner on the right, and Collins stood on the side to help Wang Jun get rid of Mason and run to the upper line.

Martin was in the low post on the left, Kidd leaned against Ford to protect the ball from the outside without looking for cover. As soon as Wang Jun got rid of it, the ball was immediately passed to him.

The most inconspicuous person on the court is Wang Jun, and Thomas is not active in the defense this time.

He inhales and jumps up with the ball, smooth movements, beautiful posture, quick moves, and does not stay in the air for a long time. This kind of shooting is difficult to block, the ball draws a beautiful high arc, hollows into the net, brush! 10 to 20.

The Bucks attacked and the inside also pulled out of the periphery, and the two teams played similarly.

Collins came on the court and had no obvious weakness when he switched to the pick-and-roll, and he moved very quickly.

Wang Jun followed Mason and kept his distance.

Martin followed closely with defense, Ford had no chance to break through and allocate it to Reed. Reed was stuck by Jefferson and passed the ball to Mason.

Mason obviously had too much fitness and did not practice yoga, so he practiced all his muscles to death. He was very stiff when shooting, and he missed the jump shot. Martin grabbed the rebound.

Kidd asked Wang Jun to prevent breakouts and not shooters, which made Mason shoot with a lower shooting percentage than others.

He was very comprehensive in his mind and might be able to be a coach now.

The net team attacked, Wang Jun ran without the ball, and tried to get rid of it by relying on strength. Mason, who is 196cm tall, weighs 101 kilograms, and his strength is indeed better.

The explosive power of black players is very strong, which is a natural advantage. Mason's physique can still walk vigorously and easily make 360-degree turn and dunk, slam dunk under the crotch and other actions.

Wang Jun asked Collins for cover without the ball and got rid of Mason.

This time he chose to cut into the inside line, and Joe Smith quickly changed defense.

Wang Jun ran from the right to the left bottom corner to attract defense. Kidd passed the ball to Martin. The latter cut the ball in the middle after pick-and-roll, squeezed Ford away, and dunked with both hands! 12 to 20.
