Ryan Hughes will continue to negotiate with Nike, and Adidas also has the intention to follow up on the contract. The two giants have been competing. Wang Jun will not participate in these things, but only expresses his opinion on the competition...

On the evening of the 14th, the Nets played against the Grizzlies away.

Wang Jun not only wants to win this game, but also wants to play beautiful data. If he plays 30 in two consecutive games, the advertising contract will be easier to negotiate.

As for losing, he never thought about it. The two teams competed once on the 3rd, and the Nets defeated their opponents.

Other players also think they have an advantage and some underestimate the enemy.

Many people have overlooked a problem: the Grizzlies' overall strength has improved compared to the previous field.

On the 4th, the Trail Blazers sent Bunch Wells, one of the main players, to the Grizzlies, and replaced the 94-year veteran Weisri Person who was in a serious decline in form.

The Trail Blazers have no choice but to do such a loss-making business, which shows their attitude of saying "no" to off-site illegal activities.

For several seasons, the indecisive behavior of Trail Blazers players on the off-court has greatly affected the club's image, and the media's interest in Trail Blazers has shifted from the field to the court.

The Trail Blazers decided to rebuild the team's good image in the summer, and Wells, as the captain, happened to be a bluff on this "scene wave". He first made dirty moves to the fans, and then insulted head coach Morris Zekes. The Trail Blazers certainly could not keep this thorn anymore.

The Trail Blazers' core is young player Zach Randolph. Although Person's data is bad, he can shoot three-pointers. With the draft picks obtained from the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers are quite satisfied.

For the Grizzlies, the exchange for Wells is to improve their combat effectiveness. The Grizzlies, with Paul Gasol and Mike Miller as the core, are one of the youngest teams in the league, and they need veteran experience.

Wells has only one year left on his contract. If he can't integrate well with the team, the team can no longer renew his contract next season.

After the opening, Kidd felt very bad again. He played three irons in a row.

No wonder many fans question Kidd's strength. If it is a defender like Marbury and Iverson, they will definitely make the opponent a sieve. If the Grizzlies don't send someone to double-team, they will definitely cut 40.

Kidd no longer tried. He passed the ball, waited for opportunities on the periphery, and left it to his teammates to attack.

Rodney, Martin and Wang Jun guaranteed offensive firepower, and the Nets led 26-21 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, both sides came on as substitutes, and the situation changed suddenly.

"Mosquito" Kittles was completely beaten one-on-one, and Wells, who was called "the stick" by Chinese fans, was obviously his nemesis.

Wells is a strange swingman, tall and weighs 95 kilograms, because he is average in arm span, has a thick neck and a large butt, and wears an eye mask and looks like a ninja turtle.

He has a stiff shooting touch, basically no three-pointers, but averages 17 points per game at his peak. He is one of the best players in the league who is good at behind the scenes and can always score points with his back to the basket.

Kitels couldn't defend against Wells' style at all. He allowed his opponent to score five goals in a row.

In addition, Grizzlies substitute power forward Stromeier Swift also performed well.

Swift is the second best player in 2000, a super spring man. He is a brainless version of Martin. He is unparalleled in jumping, quick in empty cutting, and difficult to defend after pick-and-roll. If you only look at the highlights, people will think he is a superstar.

He singled out Rodney two at the low post and also grabbed the frontcourt rebound and successfully dunked on Rucios' head.

In order to strengthen defense, Lawrence replaced Wang Jun on the court in advance, relying on his strength to fight head-on, reducing the efficiency of the "rod". However, on the offensive end, Wang Jun was also defensive.

The Grizzlies' strategy is to defend Wang Jun alone, but the defense is changed very quickly.

Percy was on the outside, and Wang Jun got rid of it with cover. Bathir immediately changed to the pick-and-roll, interfering with the shooting and blocking his eyes again and again, and also caused Wang Jun to dribble the ball and hit people twice.

After playing for three quarters, Wang Jun only scored 7 points, made a three-pointer, a mid-range shot, and a fast break layup, of which five points were obtained in the first quarter.

Due to four fouls, his playing time was shortened, and he only played for 5 minutes in the third quarter.

The reality is cruel. Wang Jun and McDibou were separated from him on the field. He felt like he was going to become a star, so he was blocked by two blue-collar workers today.

Wang Jun used his brains to find a way, and he couldn't get rid of defense even if he kept running. The opponents were two outside lines that could not run to death. Whether it was counterattack or position, there was always someone in front of him.

In the first match between the two sides, the Grizzlies lost the game because they were not good at pick-and-roll. Coach Huby Brown made a bold adjustment and let Battier play the No. 4 position to fight against the Nets' small ball tactics.

This change has gained miraculous effects. Bathir, who is tall, can defend Rodney alone, and can defend against pick-and-roll. Kidd and Wang Jun are both interfered by him, and their hit rate has decreased.

It would be easier to replace Rodney with Collins, because Collins does not need to defend himself after pick-and-roll, and the Grizzlies can double-team the ball.

The Grizzlies scored in double digits in the game, 108-85 and beat the Nets 23 points.

Wang Jun played for 33 minutes, made 5 of 17 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, no assists and free throws, but made 7 mistakes.

Bathir, who had the most time against Wang Jun, made two shots in the whole game, scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Judging from the data, Bathir is one of the worst players in the NBA. In fact, this guy always makes his opponent very uncomfortable.

Another key figure is Percy, with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, but he had 6 steals in the whole game, four of which were snatching Wang Jun.

Percy and Bathil dealt with Wang Jun one after another, which almost tortured him crazy. The common feature of these two is that they can defend many positions, number two, number three or even number four, and there is no problem.

After the competition, Wang Jun did not attend the press conference.

Although he lost, Lawrence was still confident in the Nets' prospects, saying that the players were just too tired and performed poorly in this game.

At night, the group took a flight back to Manhattan.

Wang Jun returned to the apartment and rested immediately. He got up at around 10 o'clock the next day and found Abby sitting on the sofa watching TV in his pajamas.

"I'm awake. I've booked your favorite Chaos King in Chinatown. Go and wash and eat while it's hot. I just delivered it."

"Thanks."

Wang Jun quickly finished washing up, ate in chaos, and asked with a smile: "Is there any news today?"

"Of course, but I suggest you don't ask because you didn't say anything good to you." Abby smiled.

"Tell me, I can withstand the blow." Wang Jun sighed.

Abby talked about the news he saw.

The New York Times said: "Wang Jun was beaten back to his original form in the game. When the opponent puts the focus of his defense on him, he cannot prove himself with tough performance. Judging from the efficiency, he is far inferior to the Grizzlies' substitute Wells, who made 10 of 15 shots, and is an important contributor to the Grizzlies' home win."

People who don’t know will think that Wang Jun was beaten by Wells after reading the news, but in fact the two did not match up very well. Wang Jun did a good job in defending Wells.

Espn is not optimistic about the prospects of the Nets. The news said: "If the Nets want to win the championship, there must be a super scorer who can score points at critical moments in the playoffs. If Chinese newcomer Wang Jun is expected to reach the finals in the playoffs, they should feel lucky to have reached the finals like last season. The game losing to the Grizzlies is ugly. You must know that this is only the seventh team in the West."

The media's views on players often change, and it is normal for them to be criticized for being unstable as a newcomer who is being watched.

Wang Jun was in a bad mood last night, but seeing that Abby was not at work today, he could chat with him, so he was in a much better mood. (To be continued)
