Chapter 669 [The Dead Bald Head Is Back Again]

After the All-Star Game, Abby and Wang Jun flew to New York together to rest for a day in their Manhattan apartment to wait for the rest of the Bulls to meet up and challenge the Nets away.

It was a game without suspense, and the Nets are now third from bottom in the East, just better than the Heat and the Knicks.

Owner Bruce Ratner has been in talks with investors this season, and the Nets are not doing well and "burning too much money" to make a return, and he is ready to sell the team.

Negotiations for the sale of the stake do not include the ongoing construction of the Atlantic Arena, a $3.5 billion stadium, residential and commercial center in the bustling Brooklyn area of New York, which is expected to be completed after 2011.

In the last two seasons, the Nets have lost an average of $20 million to $25 million per year, and Bruce has only been in charge for four years to get to this point.

The Nets are still restless, and Ben Gordon and Harris are having a lot of trouble because of the battle for the ball.

can't make the playoffs, players just want to brush up on good data, Gordon is a free agent in the summer, and he wants to get high scores and high salaries.

The two small men started together and there was nothing to defend against. Jefferson has become the boss of the team and has no leadership temperament, 20+ data is useless, and he doesn't win.

Jefferson can occupy a spot in the league's top ten small forwards, which is the biggest compliment, and the Nets may trade him out at any time to develop Harris to the top position.

The score lead was too much, Wang Jun only played 25 minutes, and got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Many fans are waiting to see him average 40+ per game, and they are very disappointed with this game.

Back at home, Wang Jun exploded against the Nuggets, slashing 58 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. Game 9 50+ led the Bulls to a 135-121 victory.

The Nuggets were rumored to send Iverson away at the trade deadline, but he ended up staying.

Iverson had 29 points and nine assists. Anthony had 22 points and 8 rebounds, and the two together did not score as much as Wang Jun. If it weren't for the J.R. Smith pump, he scored 43 points. The two sides will not be separated until the final quarter.

There weren't any big trades at the trade deadline, and the Rockets sent Coke Snyder in exchange for the Timberwolves' dunk king, Gerald Green. Swap the buckle for another buckle, I don't know what the purpose is.

At the repeated request of veteran point guard Cassel, the Clippers cut him as a free agent and focused on the mess. Cassel responded to Garnett's call to join the Celtics and was ready to win the championship together.

On the 24th, the Bulls beat the Rockets again.

Wang Jun single-handedly broke Battier, and the "president's" eye-sealing defense did not help him much, and the Rockets insisted on single defense. As a result, Wang Jun made 18 of 33 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws, scoring 51 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Yao Ming didn't play well under Chandler's defense, finishing with just 12 points and six rebounds. The Rockets' entire six-player team scored in double figures and failed to win a single game.

The Bulls have beaten the Mavericks, Pacers, and Wizards in quick succession, and as Lewis finds his form, many people feel like they're invincible again.

The tactic was very simple, multiple pitchers pulled away and let Wang Jun go head-to-head, attracting the bag to share the ball for his teammates to shoot.

The Pistons lost only one game to the Jazz recently. The 42-16 record also leads the Bulls by one win and ranks second in the East.

On March 2, the Bulls' winning streak came to an end, losing 86-95 to the Cavaliers.

The protagonist of this game is not the player. It's the referee.

The Cavaliers' home whistle is too obvious, the players don't blow small movements when defending, and defending Wang Jun has various elbows. On the offensive end, James walked to the basket and the referee turned a blind eye.

A player with a physical quality like James can't stop him from rushing to the three-point line with a four-step layup. A hard block could also be blown to block him and send him to a free throw.

Last season, there were signs of over-praise in the league for James, and many of his steps were touted as good shots when he broke through. As long as the action is coherent enough, the referee doesn't care.

The NBA is essentially a commercial league, so it will pursue the maximization of commercial interests, and creating the image of a superstar will greatly improve the revenue and image of the entire league.

David Stern was extremely indulgent to James, who was hailed as a superstar as soon as he entered the league, and tried to minimize his fouls and violations, thinking that this would create the image of a perfect star, just to win.

Unfortunately, some backfired, and many people began to resent James's privileges.

James has been out of the game year after year, and he can't lead a group of ordinary teammates to win by normal means, let alone compete for honors such as MVP, and now he is starting to get addicted.

The friend went astray, Wang Jun chatted with James but did not mention the matter of walking, and did not express dissatisfaction with the Cavaliers' home whistle at the press conference.

After a few years of fighting, he got used to seeing this kind of thing.

NBA referees always get it wrong, and it's not uncommon. When it comes to the playoffs, these will rarely become the decisive factors in winning, and there are more people staring, and the referees do not dare to blatantly blow the whistle.

On March 9, the Bulls defeated the Pistons on the road, sending the opponent to an 18th loss, and the two teams were tied.

Rashid is out, and the Pistons are left with only blue-collar workers on the inside. And the Bulls' David Lee is back this time, and the bench offense is stronger.

On the 17th, the Bulls lost to the Hornets away and were once again overtaken by the Pistons to third place.

On the one hand, the Bulls' defense had problems, and the main reason for the loss was that Wang Jun was troubled by fouls, and after only 31 minutes, the referee once again became the protagonist of the game.

Wang Jun only played two minutes in the first quarter, and was blown two fouls by bald referee Joe Crawford, one of which was still a body hair foul, he just hit Paul hard with his body, and there was no movement in his hands, and Paul made him foul without turning around.

Wang Jun had already committed five fouls before the third quarter was played, and he was sent off the court with six fouls after only three minutes in the final quarter.

He defended Paul, and almost all of his physical confrontations were awarded in favor of the Hornets, and he was blown to hit someone with the ball after a breakthrough foul.

When Wang Jun was in the sixth offense, he asked Crawford to theorize, Crawford's facial features were wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and he shouted coldly: "Do you have an opinion on me?" ”

A referee who doesn't want to be the lead character is not a good comedy star.

Crawford's unpleasant look at Wang Jun Many fans know that he showed obvious performance when blowing penalties in the first two years, and he likes to use this way to brush up his presence.

Crawford is a disease-prone referee. If he thinks in his head when he plays, "Do you unlucky kids know what basketball is, let the uncle explain it to you", then he is a disaster for the game.

If he comes out on the stage, what he thinks in his mind is, "Uncle is a little tired today, you guys toss, I'll just watch." "Then he'll be a reliable referee.

This isn't the first time Crawford has done this on the court, as he made a big joke last season against the admittedly good old guy who was sent off Duncan for laughing on the sidelines.

The league did not ignore it, and Duncan was fined $25,000 by the league for insulting the referee.

Crawford was suspended by the league until the end of last season for a second technical foul and subsequent misconduct.

This season, the dead bald head is back, as always.

The Bulls didn't fire at the referee at the press conference, and after everyone discussed it, it didn't feel worth it, and the league officials turned a blind eye, and the matter just passed.
