Chapter 771 [Who dares to double-team me? 】
James did not make a strong breakthrough against Lewis, and passed the ball to Wang Jun who was running on the right.
Wang Jun took the spherical frame, looked at his right foot, paused gently, and then took a step on his left foot.
His technical connection has not changed from before, but his startup speed and explosive power are completely different. Now his speed is no better than Wades, and his startup is super fast!
Ronnie Brewer played the main player for three seasons with the Jazz. The Bulls recruited him 15 million in three years. His characteristics are his strength, breakthrough skills, etc., and his lateral movement speed is average.
After joining, Brewer's performance disappointed Thibodeau the most, just considering that Wang Jun knew Barnes well, so he let Brewer defend himself.
As a result, Wang Jun easily passed the ball with one step. He made a 60-degree jump shot on the right side. Brewer turned around and didn't have time to jump. The ball had already flew to the basket and hit! 2-0.
Barkley sighed: "Wang Jun is too fast. From breaking through to emergency stops, he made me think of McGrady during the magic era, and Brewer could not keep up at all."
"He seems to have become stronger, what special training should have been done during his retirement," Smith said.
"At the age of 27, he is at the peak now." Barkley smiled and said, "If you don't have a double team, you can't defend him."
The Bulls attacked and the ball was passed to Lewis. He beat Gibson alone, stopped and jumped in a hurry, interfering with the ball and missed the basket.
Lewis has average offensive ability to hold the ball and has averaged only 14.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 43.5%, and only played 33 minutes. The Bulls want to trade him, but the contract is too big, so it is difficult to exchange for a better person.
James retreated and won the backcourt rebound. The Bulls returned to defense very quickly. James passed it to Curry, fighting in a position without any rush.
Lowry actively pressed, Curry crossed the half with his height and court width, Wang Jun took the ball, and the person who was defending him became Barnes.
Yi Jianlian went to the outside to play pick-and-roll according to Adelman's arrangement, and then waited for opportunities in the middle to catch the ball or support him.
He averaged 1 assist per game last season, and he had to practice even if he was not good at it, which was Adelman's requirement. Gibson's impact was stronger than Yi Jianlian, and he was more suitable for grabbing frontcourt rebounds and was at a low post.
Wang Jun dribbled the ball from right to left, and Lewis hurriedly defended it out. Wang Jun found a little space and passed it to James who ran to the low post on the left.
James took the ball and turned to the middle, leaning against Brewer's right hand to throw the ball. 4-0.
Wang Jun added an assist, and Adelman's "Princeton" tactic began to exert his power.
In the past, he asked the players to keep running and get shooting opportunities through empty cuts and pick-and-rolls instead of too many singles, so he is not suitable to coach a big center like Yao Ming.
With the same tactics now, the two cores do not need to get open spaces, they can score points by just one-on-one fight, and the offense is much stronger.
The Bulls attacked, Lowry broke through and was trapped in the joint defense, and was double-teamed by Wang Jun and Curry at the low post.
He split the ball, Barnes made a three-pointer in the corner, and the open position was missed. Wang Jun grabbed the rebound and led it to the frontcourt. James reached out to ask for the ball while running.
Wang Jun passed the ball over, James stepped on the three-point line and took three steps to get the ball. Brewer had to foul. James ran fast and jumped high, so he could only defend himself by rugby players, but he still threw him down.
James still had a close free throw, and he made one of two free throws, 5-0.
The Bulls attacked, and the ball was divided into the left side to Brewer to play Curry alone. The joint defense is prone to misalignment, which is a weakness.
Brewer has an absolute advantage in height and weight, and his excellent dribbling ability, which makes him the main player in the Jazz. He will be defended by the big man when he breaks into the basket, so he chooses to jump, and Curry is so squeezed that he can't jump up, but it's just a slight interference.
Brewer was ready to take action, but the ball was still tilted. Thibodeau shook his head on the sidelines.
When Brewer was a child, he fell on his arm in a terrible car accident, causing his right elbow to be completely stretched. Therefore, his shooting posture is very weird and slow, and his opponent can easily interfere with the shooting.
The Bulls' current problem is not just offense, but rebounding protection is not good. Lewis' ability to grab rebounds is poor, and the team mainly relies on Chandler and David Lee.
David Lee has poor defense ability, and Thibodeau is afraid that he will be sieve by Wang Jun and James, so he will be substituted. Chandler doesn't go to grab the frontcourt rebounds, so no one will grab it.
James once again easily took the backcourt rebound and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
The positional battle was passed several times, and the ball returned to James's hand. Wang Jun and Yi Jianlian covered the run outside to get rid of Barnes.
He understands Barnes' weaknesses. Once blocked by the cover, he has a high chance of switching defenses rather than chasing his own people. This habit makes him unable to become a super defensive player, but the single defense is not bad.
James turned around and broke through on the right to attract Chandler to retreat and divided the ball to the periphery.
Lewis followed Gibson on the left, Wang Jun was empty when he received the ball 60 degrees on the right, and easily made a small backward move. The ball was curved perfectly, hollow into the net, making a "brush" sound. 8 to 0.
Yu Jia shouted: "Beautiful, the King takes the lead in the game, the score is too easy, and the two of them have no solution to the one-on-one challenge."
Zhang Heli sighed: "You know, the Bulls are one of the teams with the highest defensive efficiency last season. The defense is still in trouble at the beginning. If the Kings encounter a weak team in defensive team, what will it be like?"
The Bulls attacked, Lowry and Chandler took the ball to the middle after pick-and-roll, Chandler took the ball to play singles, Wang Jun, turned around and threw the ball to the ball. 8 to 2.
No one assisted in defense, and Wang Jun did not foul, and the King's defensive weakness was still very obvious.
The Kings attacked, Wang Jun played the pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian, attracting Lewis to defend and distributed it to James on the low post.
James and Wang Jun practiced the ball together for two consecutive seasons, and the main thing they practiced was to protect the ball from behind and turn around.
Judging from his figure, James should be the best at this, but before 2009, he was in a mess and couldn't even squeeze out a thin guy like Bowen, and he would easily get defeated as soon as he hits the Spurs.
Wang Jun was his master and taught him how to use his back to create space to turn around in the "Pearce Dance Steps". James didn't need to squeeze the ball with the ball, so he went directly to the basket to get the ball. It was very difficult to prevent him from turning around, unless it was on the inside, and the small man had no choice but to do anything to him.
This maximized his physical advantage. James turned around and didn't completely pass Brewer. He was already at the basket. Chandler hurried to double-team, otherwise James would be just a slight shot.
James gently gave the ball to the right with one hand. Gibson flew up in one step. As soon as Chandler turned around, he saw the bald one-handed battle axe dunk and smashed the ball into the basket! 10-2.
Both sides played one iron, Lowry made a mistake in the pass, Chandler failed to catch up, and Yi Jianlian easily picked up a steal.
The Kings immediately counterattacked, and James rushed to the inside with Barnes, attracting Lowry to double-team and steal, passing the ball to the outside.
Curry took the ball and took the opportunity, and he had a hollow three-pointer at 70 degrees on the left. 13 to 2.
When returning to defense, James yelled on a whim: "Who dares to double-team me?"
He was so imposing that he slapped Curry with a fierce slap in his hand. Curry immediately grinned with his porcelain teeth on his right hand, and almost broke his bones.
This funny scene was photographed. Fortunately, O'Neal has not retired yet, otherwise he would definitely be the "Five Embarrassment".
Lowry took the ball in a daze. Before halftime had passed, Thibodeau asked for a timeout.
