Three days after the start of the training camp, the coaching staff determined that Wang Jun was more suitable than Jefferson to be the core, not because of the difference in skills, but because of the difference in temperament.

What exactly is a leader, and what kind of player is a leader?

To put it simply, players must have good individual ability, playing basketball well is a prerequisite, and no one will take a weak chicken with no data as a leader.

Second, teammates can't open, and the team can stand up and score when they are passive, and role players often don't take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility.

There is also the ability to lead the whole team, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is the core of the field, which is the most difficult to do well.

Wang Jun can not only score, but also grab rebounds, and he is very active in blocking and dismantling, whether he is in the middle of the joint defense or in the low post, he can play.

Finally, the performance in the dressing room is also very important, if the team has lost a lot, if there is a losing streak, if the team has an injury, if the team-mates are emotionally unstable and in a slump, the leader has to stand up and shout and get the most out of everyone's emotions.

Kidd is the kind of leader who may not score much himself, but he can activate his teammates on the field, and his rhythm is the rhythm of the whole team.

Wang Jun can't be a locker room leader for the time being, but he will communicate with newcomers, study tactics, and talk about useful and useless things. Jefferson doesn't talk much in the locker room.

If you don't communicate, how can you cooperate well with newcomers?

Wang Jun and Korver, Kostic, Eric? Williams quickly found a tacit understanding. Jefferson will only rely on his individual ability to go solo and play fast-breaking, and his pick-and-roll is also lacking in power, and his pull-up jump shot is not as good as Wang Junzhun.

What made Jefferson depressed was. He broke through and successfully divided the ball to assist Wang Jun, and Wang Jun did not assist him once. Not once!

It's not equal.

It is said that Jefferson's passing ability is better than Wang Jun's, and he should be happy, but he feels a little unfair. Wang Jun's style of play is simpler than him, he scores more points, and he is also highly evaluated.

No way, who made him not good at shooting. Kidd wasn't there, his favorite fast break couldn't be played, and the bench three point guards were terrible.

Wang Jun's efforts are also the reason why the newcomer is convinced and willing to pass the ball to him. He arrived at the team early every day, left the latest, and practiced every day.

Jefferson doesn't inspire that sense of admiration. He doesn't train much.

He was a little wronged, the lack of training was a special requirement of the coaching staff, he finished last season in mid-June, went to the Dream Team training camp in mid-July, and played the Olympics at the end of August, he hardly rested in the summer, and the coaching staff was worried that he would be prone to injury if he didn't rest well.

As a result, Jefferson won't play more in the preseason, and will play a few minutes at most.

The Nets' first opponent in the preseason was the Knicks. The location is at Madison Square Garden.

The game attracted a lot of Knicks fans, some of whom came to see the Nets jokes.

Will the Nets fail to beat the Knicks this season?

Will their defenses be vulnerable?

Two days before the start of the game, the New York media had already begun to build momentum.

Schadenfreude fans even forgot about the Knicks' highest-paid Allan? Houston is still on the injury list.

Houston missed 32 games last season with a knee injury, and he hasn't had a good knee this season. At the beginning of the competition, you should watch from the wall. To make up for the roster shortcomings, the Knicks brought in a replacement for Jamal from the Bulls? Crawford.

For the sake of Crawford, they ate Jerome? Williams' rotten contract.

Plus there are Wenbeck and Anfernee in the team? Hardaway has two bad contracts. The Knicks owner is simply stupid and has a lot of money, and the Knicks have almost no players worthy of their salary.

When you appear. Wang Jun deeply felt the malice of Knicks fans and heard a lot of boos.

One year. He conquered the Chinese in New York and was popular in Chinatown. But some New Yorkers still don't like him.

In the United States, it is common for whites to discriminate against people of color, and blacks to discriminate against Chinese.

The simplest example is a group of brothers in Mexico who settled in the United States as soon as they crossed the border, and it didn't matter if they didn't have status, waiting for the president to issue an executive order and not be allowed to blow away.

What about the Chinese? Take a plane with $1 million to invest, and whether you give it or not has to say whether you have an identity. The world is so unfair!

There were also some Nets fans who came to watch the game, and there were so few people who supported the Knicks that they couldn't hear the cheers at all.

Owner Bruce came to the scene to watch the game, and seeing this situation, he can better understand the reason why Lewis resolutely quit, and it is almost impossible for the Nets to beat the Knicks in the commercial competition.

If you don't make much money, you will be ridiculed by Knicks fans, if the Knicks are strong, it will be fine, but this is a bad team.

Judging from the record, if the two teams are compared to two restaurants, the net team has been "three Michelin stars" for three consecutive years, selling bear paws, monkey brains, and tuna. As a result, the guests all went to the "Nix Food Stall" to eat rice, dried rice, and meat, which were more expensive than their delicacies from the mountains and seas......

It's embarrassing to think about it.

Therefore, doing business cannot be done with naïve feelings, and it is not possible to turn an ideal into a reality. The Nets can't compete with the Knicks, not because of their poor strength, let alone their stars, but because they have no foundation and foundation.

After the warm-up, players from both sides stood in the middle of the field.

Knicks starters: Marbury, Crawford, Tim Thomas, Cott Thomas, Muhammad.

Nets starters: Vaughn, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Kostic, Collins.

Jefferson made the starting lineup, and the coaching staff felt that it was impossible to win by relying on Wang Jun's offense alone.

Kostic is a key target, the coaching staff is ready to give him enough playing time in the preseason, he can only rely on height on the defensive end, and he can do a lot on the offensive end, and he can make accurate jumpers in the middle after blocking and dismantling, and he can also cut to the basket in the air.

As a 213CM inside line, his explosiveness is average, but he has good skills, and the frame can break through people. He has a solid foundation that black players don't have.

Kostic jumped the ball to beat the 208CM Knicks blue-collar Muhammad, and the Nets attacked first.

The players pulled away, and after a few passes, Wang Jun saw that the Knicks opened the game to defend the joint defense.

After playing for one season, Wang Jun has experience in dealing with various defensive systems. He went to the three-point line on the right side and asked for the ball with his back and didn't look for a pick-and-roll.

Vaughn passed the ball over and was very confident in Wang Jun.

In the training camp, Wang Jun and all the outside players have gone head-to-head, and each time they practice a move, as long as the physique is worse than him, this move is not easy to defend.

Wang Jun leaned his back against his opponent and squeezed twice, the same height of 196CM, Crawford's weight is only 90 kg, which is thinner than Wang Jun.

Wang Jun used his left foot as the axis, turned to his left side, and made a quick jump shot.

Crawford was right next to him, and there was no room to run under the confrontation, so he couldn't jump with all his might, so he could only reach out to interfere as much as possible.

Wang Jun had an advantage when he didn't jump, turned around and made a straight-arm jumper, relying on a good arm span to create space to avoid the block, Crawford also failed to blindfold him, the ball arc was very good, and the 60-degree hollow into the net. 2 to 0. (To be continued.) )
