Chapter 188 Drifting and Leaning Back
Drexler smiled and said, "What, don't you dare?"
Albert hesitated, "No problem, you can bet. But what is your bet? You won't want someone to kiss his butt like Charles, right?"[]
Drexler made a chilling expression and exaggeratedly said: "I'm not so disgusting! Besides, even if you agree, I still don't agree. So, we are honest people, and this small bet is just to make the fans happy. If anyone loses, I suggest you post a statement on Twitter and admit that you have a different vision than the other party. What do you think?"
Albert smiled and said, "This is too simple. Agree! Then I'll bet the Nets will win."
Drexler laughed and said, "I rarely make bets, but I never lost."
The referee of the match, Ron Oleshak, blew the whistle and announced the start of the game.
Jiang Jun heard the bets of the two commentators just now while practicing football.
He didn't expect that he would have a super fan like Drexler. He could not let the glider lose if he made this point.
Jiang Jun had decided a few days ago that he didn't want to be low-key anymore. He must become famous and must be drunk!
He now figured it out that if he wanted to be a leader, he not only had to combine the team into a whole, so that everyone could perform better, but also had to shoulder heavier burdens.
In addition to assists, defense, and scoring are also very important. Because he found that in the eyes of most fans, if you want to become a superstar in the emperor, you must first be a scoring expert.
Even experts and team managers regard scoring as the most important factor when evaluating players.
Haven't you seen that most of the players who get the maximum salary are the team's scoring champions.
Because only by scoring can you get the most applause and arouse the greatest recognition of fans!
Players who are known for their defense are just some of the best role players in everyone's eyes. Compared to players who are good at scoring, they are obviously unpopular, and the number of fans is much smaller. Once there are fewer fans, the market value will be smaller. Smart bosses don't want to spend too much money on them.
Of course, there are also people with different opinions, that is, coaches.
In the coach's opinion, all they want is victory. If the team scores very low and the team achieves ugly victory, and the team scores very high and the team fails instead, the coaches will choose the former without hesitation.
After all, this is related to their jobs. According to convention, if the team performs poorly, the coach is the first scapegoat to bear the brunt of it.
Therefore, if Jiang Jun wants to catch up with Jordan and become the ruler of the league, he must go up to the scoring link.
Although Jiang Jun averaged 19.3 points in these games, which was close to the 20-point superstar line, the superstars in the eyes of fans are the top players on the scoring list in the season.
Taking the 2009-2010 season as an example, the scoring champion Durant averaged 30.1 points in the season; second-place James averaged 29.7 points; next Anthony was 28.2 points; Kobe scored 27 points; Wade scored 26.6 points; Ellis scored 25.3 points; Nowitzki scored 25.1 points, Granger scored 24.3 points; Bosh scored 24 points; Stoudemire scored 10th place with 23.2 points.
In other words, if Jiang Jun wants to become the top player on the scoring list, he must at least increase his score in each game by more than 5 points.
However, in last year's assist list, the assist king Nash had 11 assists, Paul had 10.7, Deron Williams had 10.6, and other players had an average assist in the season. Judging from the assists alone, Jiang Jun can stand out as the champions.
Because in the past three games, Jiang Jun's average assists were 15 times, which is amazing, enough to be an assist king.
If this trend is maintained, he will even be the NBA player with the most assists per game ever.
Among the previous players, Magic Johnson averaged 11.2 assists per game in his career, which is the highest in the history of the NBA. History has proved that as long as he averaged more than 10 assists per game, he is a very rare and excellent organizational defender.
Diop and Lopez jumped the ball. Both of them were the same size, both 2.13 meters, but Diop had a longer arm and was the first to touch the basketball and handed it to Jiang Jun.
As soon as Jiang Jun dribbled, Harris forced him up. Jiang Jun had studied it before and said that Harris was the fastest player in the NBA dribbles.
Harris was a teenager in the Mavericks back then. Unfortunately, he performed poorly in the 2006 finals and lost to Wade, which made Cuban decide to trade Harris for Kidd.
Judging from his defense - although his defense is average, his speed is indeed very fast. He can keep up with Jiang Jun's several changes in directions.
Due to Jiang Jun's recent excellent performance, he has become the hottest best rookie candidate. The players who face him are under a lot of pressure and do not want to be Jiang Jun's next foil. So even a player like Harris who doesn't like defense, he is still in a fierce battle when he sees Jiang Jun, and his defense has begun to become active.
The same is true for players in other positions. They are unwilling to be footnotes for the Bobcats' winning streak, so the Nets' defensive players are very good.
Jiang Jun dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Although his teammates worked hard to run, he had never had a good offensive opportunity.
"What would he do if it was Jordan in this situation? It should be just doing it alone? Well, just imitate the flying man once!" Jiang Jun decided to attack by himself with a flash of thought.
******************************
In the commentary seat, Albert sighed: "Why did the Nets' defense suddenly improve? If I played like this last year, I would not have created a shameful record of 18 consecutive losses at the beginning." He said that last season, the Nets at that time had failed at the beginning for some reason until they set the NBA record of 18 consecutive losses at the beginning, and their morale fell to the lowest point.
Drexler nodded and said, "Usually, after bottoming out, it will inevitably rebound strongly. The Nets have changed a lot this season. They changed their big boss, general manager, and head coach. Yes, the A-school plan to chase LeBron was a failure, but Harris is stronger than a year ago, and Lopez is a rising inside star. I think they will win everyone's respect this year."
Albert said: "Yes, this year's 'Little General' Avery Johnson joined the Nets. He was a guy who likes to defend. His teacher is Popovich. The Spurs' ugly basketball philosophy should have a great impact on him. If the Nets' defense progresses, it is not an unexpected thing. So, is it possible for them to win today?"
Drexler smiled and said, "Don't daydream this. I seldom lose if I bet."
************************
Harris defended Jiang Jun one-on-one, and was very proud to see that Jiang Jun had not passed the ball.
"Why are you a hottest rookie? I've been defended by me? Who dares to criticize my brother's defense in the future?" Harris thought with some sternness.
At this moment, Jiang Jun, who was standing on the three-point line, suddenly activated, and Harris quickly took a step back to prevent Jiang Jun from breaking through.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jun only made a quick step, then stopped quickly and jumped to shoot.
Harris reacted quickly enough and rushed over and reached out to cover Jiang Jun's hand.
Jiang Junren was in the air, and saw Harris reaching out to cover up the sky. If his hand shrinks slightly and then shoots quickly against the opponent's hand, he is sure to create a foul.
But Jiang Jun is determined to establish his authority and he wants to shoot the ball! He doesn't want the opponent to stop his shot, even by relying on fouls!
So Jiang Jun's body moved slightly back in the air - this little distance made him avoid Harris's block.
Then he leaned back, his shooting posture remained unchanged, his arms were stretched as much as possible, his hands were pressed, and his fingers gently moved the basketball, causing the ball to rotate and pass through a parabola, accurately falling into the basket!
Harris is 1.91 meters tall, slightly taller than Jiang Jun, and he is also good at bounce. He is about to be covered up cleanly - even if it is not a block, even if it is a foul, he will slap it hard and without hesitation, so that the rookie knows whose territory this is!
Unexpectedly, he suddenly discovered that Jiang Jun's body drifted horizontally in the air. He could not reach the opponent's arm and the ball. Then the opponent took action. He fell to the ground and looked back at the ball slowly falling into the basket.
At this moment, he was a little stunned. Did I see it wrong? Can a person drift so far horizontally in the air? Can he still throw the ball into it?
"This is Michael's back shot!" Drexler exclaimed: "I feel like I'm back in 1992! There was a game where Michael scored 35 points in the half and we couldn't limit him. If you get close to him, he will quickly get out and break through you to the inside dunk, if you relax a little, he will jump in the air, then lean back and dodge your block and shoot the ball!"
In 1992, as two All-stars in the same position, Jordan and Drexler, who was still in the Trail Blazers at the time, directly played against each other in the finals, and started a showdown of the kings, attracting the attention of countless fans. It was after losing that finals that the Trail Blazers began to decline. Drexler was discouraged and later left the Trail Blazers and defected to the Great Dream Olajuwon, fulfilling his dream of winning the championship with the Rockets. But Jordan's brave performance back then was definitely a nightmare for all his opponents.
Now Jiang Jun's back shot that looks very similar to Jordan once again evokes the distant memories of the glider.
Albert was also a little surprised: "Yes. This ball is very difficult in terms of technology. Maybe Michael couldn't slip so far back then! Today's top ten balls - no, the top five balls must have it, and it may even be at the top!"
