Chapter 419 [Give you a gift]
After a day off, the Bulls began their away trip to the West, defeating the Warriors 88-82 and swept the season.
Du Hong and Xinlich performed poorly and failed to score many times. Fortunately, Wang Jun, Nosioni and Lol Deng stood up.
Wang Jun was strictly guarded throughout the game, making 10 of 25 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
Wang Jun is still the Bulls who scored the most points. They suppressed their opponents with defense and made the Warriors score fewer points. Richardson lost to Wang Jun again in the matchup, scoring only 17 points and 5 rebounds.
Then, the Bulls defeated the Trail Blazers who lacked attackers 106-90 away, and Wang Jun scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
This game is very easy. Whether it is Zach Randolph or Poulzbila, it is difficult to defend against pick-and-rolls. Wang Jun can always pass easily, and the emergency stop jump shot makes the opponent helpless.
One day later, the Bulls narrowly beat the Supersonics 89-85 in Seattle.
The young Bulls players don’t know what fatigue is, they are the biggest advantage, and their weakness is also obvious, that is, they are not stable enough and are prone to random plays if they are excited.
Hinrich made only 5 of 15 shots, while Nosioni made 4 of 13 shots.
On the surface, he said he was not a core player, but last season, Hinrich made a lot of shots, which was an important offensive point for the team. He even made a few shots of 30+. Suddenly, he became a pure point guard, and he felt uncomfortable within 10 shots in a game.
The efficiency cannot be guaranteed, and the coach has no reason to let him take more actions.
Ray Allen and Lewis kept double-teaming against Wang Jun, forcing him to pass the ball. In this game, he still scored 21 points, made 7 of 16 shots, made 2 of 6 three-pointers, and made 5 of 5 free throws.
The two substitutes, David Lee and Lorden, became the key to winning the ball. The shooting percentages were both over 50%, and they completely beat the bench lineup led by Supersonics, scoring 14 points and 16 points respectively, helping the team win the game.
The Bulls achieved six consecutive victories. With a record of one week, Wang Jun was also elected as the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the first time in his career. The Western Conference Player of the Best Player of the Week was won by Duncan.
Last season, Wang Jun played beautiful data on the Nets team and had two long winning streaks during this period. However, it was not a coincidence that anyone in other teams performed better or he had an abnormal game that week.
He was nominated several times, but not once.
Although the weight is very light, it is an honor at least, and Wang Jun is very happy.
Wang Jun returned to Chicago with the team. The next game they will play against the Lakers at home, which is a focus game.
Currently, there has been a rare competition on the NBA scoring list in the past two decades.
Iverson ranked first with 34.2 points, Kobe ranked second with 31.6 points, James ranked 30.6 points, Arenas ranked 30.3 points, and Wang Jun ranked fifth with 29.7 points.
In addition, Wade, Pierce, Nowitzki, Anthony, Reed and others have also averaged more than 25 points, 40+ and 50+ have appeared many times.
The player data soared this season. It was not that Wang Jun said he wanted to compete for the scoring champion and stimulated his opponents, but that in 2004 the league changed a rule and canceled K (hand contact defense).
In detail, it is not allowed to touch the body of the offensive player outside the free throw area to block the attack. This is a rule to encourage attack.
The referee's call last season was not obvious. With the ratings of the Spurs vs. Pacers' finals 2018 and the large number of low-scoring games have caused fans to complain, the league is determined to reform and replay offensive basketball.
Wang Jun felt that the call for defense was stricter than before. He was fouled several times when he was elbowed to defend. Unless he faced a much stronger big man inside, he would not dare to raise his arm easily.
This rule has brought a earth-shaking impact on the league this season. Peripheral players such as Kobe and Iverson who are good at breaking through the ball have been greatly liberated. If it were Wang Jun last season, he would not have benefited too much. Now he has also mastered the skills of breaking through the ball. If his opponent is not close to him, he can turn around and ride the ball calmly.
So something magical happened. Among the top 15 scoring lists, except Nowitzki, the rest are outside players. Nowitzki is actually the outside player.
As long as the joint defense rules are not changed, they will be destined to be the world of the outside line in the future. The Pistons will become the biggest victim under this rule, and their outside line mainly plays without the ball.
When Wang Jun returned home, he found that Xia Baowen and Ajiali were coming. Ajiali was holding a kitten with a unique pattern on her body.
"Hey, are you here? When did you arrive?" Wang Jun asked.
Xia Baowen smiled and said, "I just arrived for a while and knew you were coming back today. I plan to go to the scene to see the Bulls vs. Lakers. I think it will be very exciting. Can you get tickets, right?"
"Of course, it's wrapped up in me."
NBA players also have some special benefits, such as getting internal tickets from the team and inviting relatives and friends to watch. Many families of big-name stars will receive season tickets, and the team will be satisfied as long as they are willing to go to the scene to watch.
The two siblings had known about the relationship between Theron and Wang Jun, and were not surprised that she was here. When they came, Xia Baowen called Theron and asked if it was convenient.
Wang Jun doesn't mind his friends coming to play. New York is not far from Chicago. His only fear is that Abby runs from Cleveland to Chicago and meets Theron alone. If he is not at home, the two will be quarreling. Fortunately, Abby will call him in advance when he meets him.
Ajiali held the head and licked her tongue and said, "Wang, this is my gift to you. Congratulations on getting 61 points. I have raised it at home and have given birth to three boys recently. Those two are companions at home."
"Uh..." The two of them gathered together at home and gave this to him alone. It was so pitiful.
"Do you like pets?" Ajiali asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, I have two dogs at home. I like this guy very much. Let's call him Garfield from now on." Wang Jun took the "kitten" over and asked, "Is it a male?"
"It's a male." Ajiali raised her eyebrows: "But isn't Garfield the name of a cat?"
"Isn't this a cat?"
"This is..." A Jiali hesitated for a moment, stuck out her tongue, and said naughtyly: "Forget it, just name it casually, be kind to it."
"Don't worry, I won't let Charlie's dog bully him." Wang Jun patted his chest and promised, although Theron's golden retriever was a bit big.
"Garfield" seemed to understand what he said and arched into his arms.
"That's great. Alyssa said you don't have pets, and I'm still worried that you don't like it."
"I used to be afraid that Alyssa would be allergic to animal hair, but now it doesn't matter if she lives separately."
Originally, Wang Jun didn’t like to keep pets, and it was not convenient to live in a building. Now the house is too big and there are too few people. Theron likes dogs very much, so he kept it.
Theron listed more than a dozen benefits of raising animals, and he was speechless. Pets can make people forget loneliness, sweep away the tension and pressure, stay cheerful, become caring people, understand the importance of life, the phenomenon of insufficient exercise will naturally be eliminated, etc.
After raising a dog, the house is indeed more lively. Now I have a "kitten" and it is definitely more interesting.
During lunch, Garfield began to stick to Wang Jun, wherever the person went, he went.
Wang Jun wanted to buy some cat food, but Ajiali said that he could just feed the meat. He fed some chicken and really ate it.
"I'm really not picky about food. I'm so young and I can't bite people when I grow up, right?" Wang Jun asked worriedly.
"No, this variety is very gentle. It can only be given to you if it can be raised. When it grows up, you will definitely be very majestic when you take it out."
"Yeah……"
Wang Jun doesn't think it's any majesty to take a cat out, especially if he has a big head and a small body, he won't be laughed at when he comes to sports news.
