Chapter 272 [Impossible Mission]
The Lakers didn't take advantage of the garbage time.︾
Jefferson wanted to prove himself, and he played very hard. He was under a lot of pressure after he came on the court, thinking that if he could not score even if he played as a substitute in the Lakers, how could he compete with Wang Jun for the starter in the future?
He is used to starting the game, and becoming a substitute is a regression and difficult to accept.
Another thing that made the Lakers feel uncomfortable was Korver. He played for a while and made two three-pointers.
The Nets can shoot even if they are substitutes. Scala Brian and Rodney open the space, Jefferson breaks through and passes the ball, and gets good opportunities on the outside.
Korver is a person who cannot take responsibility. The team leads with a big score. He has no pressure and his shooting becomes accurate.
In the end, the Nets won 25 points at home in 103 to 78.
Wang Jun made 10 of 18 shots, 9 of 15 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 31 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Martin shot higher, making 11 of 17 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 25 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.
Kidd made 3 of 8 shots, scored only 7 points in the game, with 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals. His performance was also excellent, and the pass revitalized the team's offense.
Kittles and Jefferson scored 11 points and 12 points respectively.
On the Lakers' side, O'Neal made 14 of 18 shots, made 12 of 18 free throws, scoring 40 points and 13 rebounds, but he only had one assist and performed poorly on the defensive end.
Kobe made 10 of 27, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
Only two of the Lakers scored in double digits, playing an extremely ugly game.
Both Payton and Malone scored only 4 points, not showing the level the star should have. Even qualified role players are not considered qualified.
At the press conference, the reporter interviewed Lawrence Frank. He bluntly said that he was surprised to win. "I didn't expect that we could defeat the Lakers so easily. Now I feel like I'm dreaming. Wang Jun is too accurate today."
The reporter interviewed Kidd and asked: "You rarely make any moves now. Is it the coach's arrangement? In the 2002 Finals, you are one of the main attackers in the team."
"The team needed me to stand up and score, but now I just need to pass the ball. Kenyon and Wang are like the ok combination of the Eastern Conference, passing them everything is OK. No, I'll correct it. Wang Jun is not like Kobe, he is more like Reggie Miller." Kidd smiled.
Martin has beautiful data. He was asked about competing with MVP.
He said: "I don't care who wins the MVP. The important thing is to win. We have to unite. Whoever has a good position will pass the ball to whom. I will try my best to help the team win the championship."
Finally, the reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked him to talk about his thoughts of breaking the three-point record.
Wang Jun smiled and said, "To be honest, I only learned about this record when I returned to the locker room. I am very happy to leave my name on the finals."
The reporter asked: "Bryant has won so many points after he is defending him. Do you think you are a superstar?"
"I don't know. Are the stars asking fans, experts, now I just want to win. I was unsure of it, but now I feel that it's close to the championship."
The reporter asked: "Karl Malone left the field after being injured. What do you think of that collision?"
"An unnecessary collision. I don't know why he used that kind of action to layup. Most people jumped up and leaned forward with their legs behind..." Wang Jun leaned his body and gestured. He smiled and said, "No matter what, I hope he is fine. Superstars should stand on the court to retire. Instead of leaving due to injury."
Wang Jun obviously underestimated the hardness of his knees.
The next day, the news reported Malone's injury. The meniscus on his left knee was torn and he had to undergo surgery. He was sure to miss the remaining game, which was a devastating blow to the Lakers.
The meniscus injury has a long recovery period, and considering Ma Long's age, it seems that he can only retire.
The American media are embarrassed to say that Wang Jun hurts Ma Long because that unconventional layup is aimed at hurting people, and stealing chickens will not lose all the rice.
Some people posted a post on the "anti-king" of China's Internet that Wang Jun was a bad guy to destroy Ma Long. If the online team wins the championship, it will be unfair and has no value.
Wang Jun is highly praised by domestic media. Some people always think that it is inconsistent with his strength, so they will be able to rebel against the king.
Why can there be such a post scientifically explain it? Some people have severe secondary disease and like to be independent. Everyone praises this person, so they have to squirt. If they don’t squirt, they feel uncomfortable.
There are also some Komi who said that Wang Jun is not Kobe's opponent at all and does not admit that his idol played poorly in the first game, because Wang Jun did not defend Kobe, and he always relied on cover to avoid the matchup on the offensive end. Only Kobe who does not rely on pick-and-roll and shoots against the defensive are stars, and most of the irons are due to being double-teamed.
It is not scary to make a blacksmith.
Double-teaming is not scary either.
What’s scary is that some people’s heads are like being double-teamed by big iron doors.
Normal people who watch the game will use factual evidence to prove that Kobe is really bad. Not only is it rotten but also poisonous, but someone will "whitewash" his idol, regardless of whether black people can whitewash it.
All day long, meaningless debates were being held in major comment sections.
In fact, most of the "trolls" and "blacks" of Chinese fans began to appear from Humi and Kemi.
With the end of the Jordan Bulls dynasty, the Lakers Ok combination dominated, and many Humi began to disdain the Bulls' glory. Some Komi became arrogant because of Kobi's provocation against Jordan. Komi also began to offend other superstars as his data and honors accumulate, hoping that Kobi would surpass Jordan as soon as possible.
Iverson, McGrady, and Carter were all swearing by Komi because they felt they shouldn't have been born.
O'Neal was overrated because of his "lazy" because of his "subtle", because the fat man had never won the championship before he partnered with Kobe. It seemed that Kobe led the team to win.
Those who were criticized by Aimee, McMi, SharkMi, etc. are naturally not to be outdone, so Chinese fans have formed a situation of blaming each other and squirting each other.
Now, the "Princes" are also going to join the war, and Wang Jun has already fallen into Kemi's eyes.
Malone is sure to be absent, the situation in the finals has changed greatly, and major American media have unanimously changed their tone and are optimistic about the Nets winning the championship.
If the Lakers want to win, the role players must stand up, and the OK group must put aside their grudges and cooperate with them with all their strength. This seems to be an impossible task.
After a big defeat, the Lakers coaching staff convened a meeting of players, and "Zen Master" Jackson asked the OK group to cooperate.
"A season of hard work has finally reached the finals. What I want to ask is, is anyone who wants to lose easily and watch the Nets win the championship? Let a team with no superstars and Chinese second-round rookie is the number one scorer win the championship?" Jackson shouted angrily.
He looked at Kobe and said loudly: "Kobe, I don't want to say too much nonsense. Pass the ball to Shakel! Can you understand the pass? The Nets' inside team cannot defend Shakel from one-on-one. The inside line attracts double-teams to pass the ball to the open space. The outside line must take bold moves to ensure efficiency."
The players listened to Jackson's roar, no one responded, and had no energy at all.
O'Neal is a living treasure. It turns out that the atmosphere of the whole team is relaxed and active. In the past seasons, he would stand up and cheer loudly. It is possible to dance to liven up the atmosphere.
Kobe snatched the boss and did pull away some of the support, but Kobe's introverted personality made the whole team look at low pressure.
Jackson sighed after seeing the player's reaction, feeling helpless.
