When we were having dinner together at the Tulip Restaurant, Wang Jun and Theron talked about China.

Theron did not deliberately play "Irene" and became much more cheerful.

Some people get into movies, but they can't get out of it for a long time after filming. Theron is different. She can destroy her image for filming, but she can always distinguish between inside and outside the play.

Wang Jun thought this was all due to his guidance, and he felt very accomplished and was in a good mood.

That night, he went with the team to Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, to prepare for the second game, with the opponent of the University of Wisconsin.

The names of the two teams are similar, but the difference is one word.

The Wolverines conducted adaptation training in the afternoon, and Wang Jun performed very well, with his three-point shooting percentage improved.

After Jeff Hornersek's guidance, Wang Jun gained experience in shooting. His overall three-point shooting percentage was around 70%, and the two most accurate points even reached 80%, which felt like a "shot relaxation card".

New assistant coach Ben Snell looked at Wang Jun's shot for a while and sighed: "His shots are outstanding in college, and he can rank about the top ten among college students in the United States."

"But he still has to work hard to improve his defense. Only when the defense meets the standards can he gain a foothold in the NBA." David said lightly.

David followed the NCAA news. It was not a good idea to participate in the draft in 2003, and the competition was very fierce.

NCAA has many outside lines with similar styles to Wang Jun, including Jason Capono of UCLA, Keller Corvor of Creton University, Duke University super newcomer Redick, etc.

With the same shooting ability, Wang Jun's physical fitness will become an obstacle to the draft. David did not explain this to him in detail to avoid increasing his psychological pressure.

The Wolverines training just ended, and the UW players were also led by the coach to the training ground.

Last season, under the leadership of the new coach, the Badgers tasted the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 1947. They tied for the top ten regular season with Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State. The Badgers were eliminated in the second round of the NCAA and failed to reach the Sweet 16.

This is much stronger than the Wolverines, who just barely made it to the playoffs. It sounds good, but in fact there are only eleven teams, with the first eight entering the playoffs.

"Hello, Coach Hornersek." Badgers coach Matthew Sandner walked up and greeted David.

"Hello, Sandner."

"I heard that you defeated the Spartans in the first game, and Chriscaman also got a double-double of data, which really scared me." Matthew said in a fright, his expression was not as scared as he was, but he was a little disdainful.

Kaman interrupted, "Don't be careless, otherwise you will be shocked in this game."

Matthew smiled and said, "It's not a good habit to be arrogant just after playing a good game. There are no players like you in our team."

"So you can't win the championship." Kaman was a little excited and immediately fought back.

Matthew smiled slightly, ignored Carman, looked at Wang Jun and said, "Is this your god pitcher? I don't think he can win Charles. Charles has made progress this year. He is ready to participate in the NBA draft."

"Let's see tomorrow." David clapped his hands and said to the players: "Let's go and have a good rest."

Wang Jun and Kaman walked side by side and asked, "Do you have a grudge against this coach?"

Kaman gritted his teeth: "Not only, I don't like their shooting guard Charles Brown. In the past, we were in a high school, this guy was very arrogant. We must win this game."

David followed up from behind. "Yes, you must win. The Badgers have three people who should have joined our team."

"Why did they originally want to join but later change to college?" Wang Jun asked curiously. The University of Michigan is much more famous than the University of Wisconsin.

David smiled slightly. "It's not because of the Five Tigers in Michigan, but this is also an opportunity. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to coach, and it would be difficult for you to join."

The Wolverines cannot directly recruit high school stars since 2000, and David took over as the head coach.

The famous "Five Michigan Tigers" were once close to the championship. With 11 seconds left in the final against North Carolina, Webber held the ball and called a false timeout to the referee after using up the timeout. He was judged to be a technical foul. The two-point disadvantage of 71 to 73 suddenly turned into an irreversible defeat.

An incident that happened later explained the technical foul. A gambler named Ed Martin created the biggest stain in his basketball career for Weber - receiving black gold!

In 1997, according to the Detroit News, Martin opened a secret casino at Ford's engine factory and Chrysler's automobile factory, and took the bets. According to reports from the local government, Martin opened an underground casino from 1988 to 1999 and earned huge revenue.

In 1999, FBI agents searched Martin's home and found $20,000 in cash, a loaded pistol, and some gambling records. These real evidence completely exposed Martin's underground black village.

In April 2000, Martin and the prosecutor reached an agreement to proactively confess many crimes in front of a federal jury, including giving money to the University of Michigan basketball team and admitting that he had been suspected of interfering with the results of the game.

Although Weber denied it, Jaylen Rose, the "Five Michigan Tigers", publicly admitted that he had received "pocket money" from Martin.

Later, Trayler and Brock admitted to the jury during the trial that they had obtained loans from Martin. The scandal not only discredited Weber's reputation, but also affected the University of Michigan, making it difficult to recruit outstanding talents. A century-old basketball team at the basketball team was almost collapsed.

After the scandal broke out, the players who originally wanted to join the Wolverines retreated. The University of Wisconsin was the direct beneficiary of 2000. They absorbed three high school players that the Wolverines valued, and their strength increased significantly.

Carman played very badly in high school and was rejected by the University of Wisconsin, so he wanted to prove himself especially.

David instructed Carman: "Chris, don't be too anxious to perform tomorrow. The Badgers' style is against us, a big team with four small teams, three people are good at shooting three-pointers, the point guard is very fast, and the inside is also a good meat shield. You must play and cooperate."

Kaman's eyes were full of fanaticism. "Coach, I'm confident that I will beat Maurice in a single challenge this year. He is only 206CM in size."

David's expression became serious. "He is indeed only 206CM, but he is very strong and has excellent wingspan. It is difficult for you to score at the basket and easily score. I am going to let you take the pick-and-roll throughout the game, shoot after a high-level cover or cut into the inside line, and attack after being misaligned."

"Okay." Seeing that the coach was unhappy, Kaman had to obey the order.

David looked at Wang Jun again. "Wang, you are the key to the victory and loss in this game. I hope you can play a role on the defensive end."

Seeing the coach's expression solemn, Wang Jun guessed that it was not an easy task. "Who am I going to guard against?"

"The joint defense is still at the left basket. You have to switch to high pick-and-rolls at any time, and don't let their sophomore point guard Devin Harris easily get into the basket. That guy is very fast, the player who started every game since his freshman year, and I heard that he has improved again this year."

“How fast?”

David shook his head and smacked his lips: "It is said that he can run 10 seconds or 5 in a hundred meters."

When Wang Jun heard this, he was confused. This girl was just a track and field athlete.

The fastest Luke in the team ran 10 seconds and 8, which was surprising enough. It was said that it was a good wind that day, with a very long performance, and the normal speed was only about 11 seconds.

"Can I keep up with such an opponent?"

"One-on-one is definitely not possible. What you have to do is to save and double-team anytime, and you can put him into shooting, and his shot is just the same."
