Chapter 594 [Offensive is the best defense]
At the press conference, the reporter asked James to comment on Wang Jun. He was in a mess and didn't know how to evaluate him.
When he first entered the league, James felt that Wang Jun was nothing special. He was in the best position in all aspects and did not regard Wang Jun as an opponent at all.
After playing in the Nets for two years, Wang Jun became a free agent, and James hoped that he would join the Cavaliers. At that time, he only regarded Wang Jun as a qualified second-in-command, suitable for assisting him.
Now, James realizes that his biggest enemy to win the championship is this friend. With Wang Jun in the East, it is difficult for him and the Cavaliers to make a comeback. Wang Jun's shooting is getting more and more accurate, his skills are outstanding, and his scoring ability is stronger than him.
James doesn't want to admit that Wang Jun is better than him. It feels great to surpass his predecessors, and it's too depressed to be Chaoyue.
The only way for the Cavaliers to defeat the Bulls is James to keep attacking, score and force his opponents to double-team, and then assist his teammates. He may play a lot of iron because of this, or he may play beautiful data to lead the team to win.
Even if he can't win in the end, his data is beautiful and he will still be honored even if he loses.
If Wang Jun and James were asked to switch teams to lead the Cavaliers, Wang Jun would definitely do this. With Daz and Valejo pick-and-roll, dodge the opponent's outside arrow characters, and keep attacking without double-teaming.
Unfortunately, James is not Wang Jun. The two have different personalities. Last season, James' Cavaliers' lineup is average, and there is more reason than Wang Jun to score the scoring champion. He didn't do this.
Compared to high scores, James prefers to play triple-double data, making people praise his selflessness and his comprehensiveness.
In the second game, James chose to reduce his shots at the beginning and actively created opportunities for his teammates, break through and pass the ball, or let Bibby and Daz play pick-and-roll.
To deal with Bibi, single defense is enough.
He was unable to quickly get rid of the first step of the inside. Although the emergency stop jump shot was accurate, Lewis and Chandler were not vegetarians.
The Cavaliers were 20 points behind in the first half, and the Bulls defended very easily. Be careful of the outside line and magnify the man to take action at a distance.
No matter how accurate the big shot is, it is not as accurate as the defender. Big Z is not as good as Randolph, West, and Nowitzki, who uses the shot to kill people.
When the Bulls attack, try to hit the side of the big z, Wang Jun and Xinliqi are misplaced. The big z defense is easily overwhelmed, and the opponent will directly shoot if it doesn't come out.
In the second half, James made more moves, but he felt bad and could not catch up with the score.
103 to 76, the Bulls won another game, with three scoring 20 points, James scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.
The Bulls not only lead the score, but the players also have the advantage in psychology. Skeles shouted the slogan of winning in an interview.
In the third game, the Cavaliers still couldn't recover their disadvantage when they returned to their home court.
In the regular season, they once defeated the Bulls, but now their playing style has been seen through. When attacking, they copied the Bulls' tactics. The big man had no ball cover on the perimeter, helping the pitcher run to the bottom corner, or running from the bottom corner to the upper line, and taking the ball and taking the ball.
Repeated cover and unblocked. This is what the Bulls are good at. They practice this tactic often in their team, and they are naturally experienced.
Another weakness of the Cavaliers playing pick-and-roll is the mobility of the center.
Although Chandler is not good at mid-range shots, he can quickly cut after screening and grab the frontcourt rebound. Daz can only stand and wait for the ball to return. The impact is too poor, and the threat will be greatly reduced when blocked by the outside line.
James always hesitated between offense and pass, and he performed poorly in this game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%, and he only scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Behind 0-3, everyone knows that the Cavaliers are finished, and 80% of them swept again.
The emperor of the United States cannot win the king of China.
Wang Jun scored 25 points in this game. His score was not high, and he won steadily. He only made 16 shots and hit 9 goals. He made 5 of 8 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws.
Wang Jun seized all the good chance, and he passed the opponent's double-team. In addition, he also grabbed 8 rebounds and sent 2 assists.
Pavlovic was beaten up by Wang Jun every game. After covering, Wang Jun was able to withstand Valejo, Guden, and Daz, making the Cavaliers players miserable.
In the third game, "Big Mouth" Barkley couldn't help but speak out for Wang Jun: "Wang Jun was not selected for the Best Defensive Team. I feel that someone doesn't want him to win the award or watch him win all the honors. Every time I broadcast the Bulls' game live, I have never seen anyone easily score in front of him, whether it's the outside or the inside."
Espn also criticized the selection criteria. Columnist Nicholas said: "If you look up past records, you will find that few foreign players are selected for the best defensive team. This award is like being offered to local players. The selection depends entirely on the impression of the coaches. The best defensive team and the best defensive player are jokes."
Nicholas always dared to tell the truth and listed some strong evidence to prove his point of view.
On the court, the backbone of defense is the striker, but the selection rule is that one person must be selected at every position.
So Larry Hughes entered the best defensive team. Which inside cut can Hughes withstand the empty cut from the inside after the pick-and-roll? He can only defend the defender and must have teammates to make up for the defense, otherwise the opponent will easily score after the misalignment.
The same is true for Sinrich to enter the best defensive lineup. Wang Jun and Lol Deng have better overall abilities than Sinrich.
The best defense selection depends on people. It is difficult for a player with a very good offense to enter the defensive lineup, except for the stars who are strongly supported by the league. Duncan often has the best defensive efficiency, but has never won the best defensive player. Ben Wallace defends alone and has many best defenses.
Data proves that Ben Wallace was beaten in various ways when defending O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Yao Ming, Webber, Nowitzki and other stars in the interior. He grabbed a lot of rebounds in the Pistons system, and as soon as he arrived, the Hornets showed their true colors and became Collins with a slightly more athletic ability.
It is very difficult for foreign players to be selected. In recent years, there is no one except Kirilianko, and there is no one to find any examples in the previous history.
Before the fourth game began, a reporter from tn*t interviewed Wang Jun after the Bulls training and mentioned the defensive lineup.
"Some people say that your defense has received a true pass from Kidd, but you have not been selected for the best defensive team this season. Do you feel sorry?"
"There is no regrets." Wang Jun didn't take this honor seriously, and most of his energy was on the offensive end.
The reporter didn't give up and asked again: "Then what do you think of your defense?"
Wang Jun thought for a while and smiled: "I think I should be the best defensive player in the league."
This answer is really unstoppable. He deliberately wanted to make a joke with the reporter, and it was nothing if the news was posted.
The reporter was excited when he heard this. This was big news. "So, do you think the league selection criteria are unfair?"
As long as Wang Jun criticizes the league's selection criteria, it will be enough to attract attention. If Wang Jun gives an example and thinks he is better than someone's defense, then he can also take the opportunity to hype him up for the dislike of the selected players.
Unfortunately, the reporter was wrong, and Wang Jun had no intention of criticizing the selection.
He shook his head and smiled and said, "No, I don't know what the selection criteria are, and I don't care. It doesn't matter if I don't choose it. Anyway, the team's record is here, and I have already won two MVPs. I think I am the best defensive player, because I think offense is the best defense!"
