Chapter 943 [Dissatisfaction, surgery]
The King's winning streak was terminated. Wang Jun was not angry and even invited his teammates and coaches to have dinner at the best hotel in Sacramento. Thank you for your joint efforts during this period.
Wang Jun invites his teammates to dinner when he has the chance and gives some small gifts. He has developed a habit.
This is the way of dealing with people and things learned with James. The two of them used to do it together, but now he does it himself.
James, who was interviewed at a charity event for Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, said about how to manage his success, said: "When you get success and rights, what's the point if you don't share it with the people around you?"
His mind shared was to give gifts, watches, sneakers, beats headphones, hoodies, schoolbags, and even four Porsches to give their childhood friends. James was very generous.
After being teammates with him for four years, Wang Jun's emotional intelligence has also increased. If you interact more with new teammates, you can quickly turn the team into a single rope.
He won two games. On December 22, the Kings lost to the Warriors away again, achieving a second loss, with a record of 26 wins and 2 losses.
The Warriors have the second place in the Western Conference this season, and they are also balanced offense and defense. They have stars at home and outside, with many three-pointers, Iguodala both plays as a substitute, and Barnes.
Lowry will definitely be selected for the All-Star Game this season, and may even be the point guard.
Thompson is known as the weakened version of Wang Jun. Last week, he scored 36 points in a single quarter against the Nuggets, made 11 three-pointers in the game, scored 52 points, and hit the opponent to collapse.
Monroe was absent for four to six weeks due to injury. Substitute Drummond Green stood up, averaging 11.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and his defense was better than Monroe.
Green's game became the key to victory and defeat. He could not only withstand the inside with a strong body, but also defend against pick-and-roll and guards. On the offensive end, Green's range reached beyond the three-point line and could support the attack.
The management is ready to trade Monroe after the end of this season, and free up the salary space to renew Green's contract. His style is more suitable for Noah's partner, making the defense more stable.
Also a favorite to win the championship, Wang Jun regards the Warriors as the enemy. After fighting so many games, the Warriors are the most difficult to deal with.
After defeating the Suns, the Kings on the 27th were another national live-streaming focus battle, with the opponent being the Chicago Bulls.
Since Wang Jun left the Bulls, he was booed every time he went to Chicago. The game between the two teams has attracted particularly attention, and many people just want to watch the Bulls jokes.
This season, the Bulls have a record of fourth in the Eastern Conference, with several drafts and signings, returning to the playoffs.
The Nets, the Cavaliers ranked in the top two, and the third place was the Hawks, which makes people feel incredible. The biggest star of the Hawks is Paul Millsap.
Originally, this might have been a dull game, but the Bulls boss said something wrong, which made Wang Jun want to slaughter the Bulls.
In an interview in Xiatian, Reinsdorf gloated at James' departure: "Wang Jun cannot be lucky forever. He has a group of good teammates in the Bulls. The Kings and James are the strongest combination. Now that he has no stars around him, I don't think he can lead the team to win the championship again."
At that time, everyone felt that the king was finished and there was no chance. Reinsdorf was always dissatisfied with Wang Jun's "abandoning" the bull, so he said something in his heart, laying hidden dangers for the future.
Wang Jun is not a broad-minded person. He is a little unhappy because the team has lost two games recently and is preparing to "surge" the Bulls.
Before the game, Wang Jun asked Kid to have a meal alone, discussing "unlimited shots" against the Bulls, using a high score to boost morale and let the new team join the team, who had been marginalists before, know that as long as you defend with peace of mind, it is enough to relieve their pressure.
Kidd had great power in the king, because of Wang Jun. Therefore, no matter what request Wang Jun made, he would agree. The interests of the two were closely related.
At night, it is hard to get a ticket for Sacramento fans. The opponent is a playoff team and the battle usually won't end at halftime. Moreover, Wang Jun has a lot of playing time this season, so fans want to watch him perform.
The Bulls have good lineups, and they are used to Darren Collison, Antetokounmpo, Mike Dunleavy, David Lee, Split, with both offense and defense.
Collison and David Lee's pick-and-roll attacks were sharp, and Dunleavy's three-pointer was stable.
The Bulls are good substitutes. Augustine is experienced, can break through, and can shoot three-pointers. In 2014, rookie TJ Warren has comprehensive abilities, strong style of the ball, Casby and Mirotic can shoot three-pointers, and the substitute insider Ty Gibson is short and brave enough.
The third center Mohammed is a veteran blue-collar worker, and Sinrich can also play some role as a substitute defender.
With this lineup, it is not surprising that the Bulls can make it to the playoffs. No wonder Reinsdorf dares to speak. In summer, the Bulls' card lineup is much better than the Kings, and he also wants to abuse the Bulls.
Wang Jun, Xinlichi, David Lee greeted her, but she was still a friend, but she didn't plan to show mercy.
After playing for 11 years, Wang Jun knows almost everyone in the league. Every team has veterans and people who joined the NBA in the same year. If he talks about mercy, he will not be able to say anything at all.
After warming up, Wang Jun called Curry to his side and whispered: "Don't run away in this game, wait for opportunities on the outside."
"I understand, I won't call you randomly." Curry smiled and said, "I will choose one next time, and you can create opportunities for me in the whole game."
"no problem."
Wang Jun and Curry emphasized again that they were afraid that he would consume his energy in vain, so they stood still and pulled him away and created opportunities.
Kidd's lineup was adjusted and four three-pointers were added. Curry, Wang Jun, Carol, Covington and Gobert. Because the three-pointers are more accurate, Covington's recent appearance time is more than Patterson.
The Bulls are a customary lineup and have not changed.
Gobert jumped in unbeatable and the game began.
Carol picked up the basketball and passed it to Wang Jun. The player pulled it away. Wang Jun turned around and took a two-step outside the three-point line on the right, and suddenly pulled up and shot.
Antetokounmpo lowered his center of gravity and was two steps away from Wang Jun. He jumped up and almost blocked the basketball. The ball was missed and David Lee grabbed the rebound.
He was a Greek, with a long name and difficult to spell, and he was a bunch of English, so he was nicknamed "Antetokounmpo".
When he first entered the league, he was tall and wingspan, and a year later he grew to his wingspan. Such a guy is actually a swingman.
Seeing that his body looks like Durant, Wang Jun is preparing to change to break through. No matter how fast the big man is, his flexibility is not as good as a small defender.
The Bulls attacked, Collison and David Lee cooperated with pick-and-roll, but failed to break through and were assigned to the periphery.
Wang Jun let Antetokounmpo go two steps away, but "Antetokounmpo" dared not shoot. What he was worse than Durant was shooting from mid to long distance.
He played football before 2008. After playing basketball, he played as a point guard on the court. He practiced ball control skills one hour in advance before training every day. Later, he grew taller and taller, and finally became a big back. Due to his short time in contact with basketball, shooting is the most difficult for him to practice.
Antetokounmpo broke through with the ball, hoping to use his unique "letter step" and make a layup from the three-point line.
Unfortunately, Wang Jun was too familiar with European steps and did not sway. The first step blocked his route. He took the second step by step by inertia. Wang Jun accurately reached out and poked the ball towards the frontcourt.
Wang Jun rushed forward and picked up a basketball, with a single fast break, with a clear speed advantage. He made a big windmill dunk at the front of the free throw line. 2 to 0.
Just the first goal, he brought the atmosphere to the whole game!
