Wang Jun closed his eyes and began the lottery.

After a while, the system prompts: "Got rebound training card three, moved to storage." ”

Hell, it's rebounding training again, doesn't the system know that the host is the outside?

Wang Jun was a little helpless.

He worked hard to lose weight in order to become a classic No. 2, a star who focuses on shooting, breaking, and distributing the ball, like Michael Jordan.

The confrontation training drew out the second article, and the rebounding training cards are all three, what kind of trouble is this? Let him go in the direction of Barkley?

Wang Jun went into the warehouse to look at the props and found that they were different from cards one and two. The previous rebounding training only prompted him to card the position action, jump time, etc. in the game, and the card three was more useful.

Rebound training card 3: Visual connection training system, enter the virtual shooting mode, assist the host to judge the direction of the basketball pop-up, prompt the best time to grab the rebound, and train the host's reaction speed and bounce. After a total of three hours, it can be turned off autonomously.

Wang Jun doesn't plan to practice immediately, what the team needs him to do most is definitely not to grab rebounds, but to shoot.

A week later......

Wang Jun's position in the team has become stable, and he will definitely be an important rotation player in the new season.

Not only did Kidd have a good impression of him, but the coaching staff was also very satisfied with Wang, and first assistant coach Franco Lawrence also suggested that he should be a starter. Jefferson is mobile enough to defend against a shooting guard, and Wang Jun can take on a strong forward.

But Scott prefers to let Wang Jun play as a substitute, he is a star, and if he doesn't use a set of mature starters, he feels uncomfortable.

Winning the championship? Scott didn't seem to think that he would be like a nobody after losing last season, otherwise Kidd wouldn't have had a problem with him.

It's no wonder that Kidd, who has a strong desire to win, will be angry, and a fool can see that the Nets can't win the championship if they keep their original lineup, and they may not even be able to beat the Pacers and Pistons this season.

After discussing with the assistant coaches, Scott insisted that this arrangement was more like a counterattack to Kidd and assert his own head coach's authority.

Training camp ended on October 3, the whole team rested, and the Nets began to warm up for preseason games on the 6th.

For the first opponent, the Nets chose the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wang Jun got to see the famous Bradley Center in the visiting locker room, which is why players hate playing on the road with the Bucks.

The dressing room has a peculiar design, you have to go through the shower to get to the players' closet, and the players' changing area is very spacious.

Because of the heavy moisture, the smell in the house was very strange, as if something was moldy or rotten, and it was unbearable. It is said that Pat Riley came to Milwaukee to play away and did not enter the visiting locker room after being killed, either to the field or to wander the hallways.

Before the start of the game, Scott again rejected Kidd's suggestion and fielded the starters: Kidd, Kittels, Jefferson, Martin, Mourning.

Mourning, who returned from kidney disease, actually played in the preseason and started.

Although this was meant by the uniformed team, Scott did not raise any objections, even if the team doctor's advice was to let Mourning rest as much as possible.

On the Bucks' side, the starting five are: TJ Ford, Mike Reid, Desmond Mason, Tim Thomas, Joe Smith.

Ford was a rookie in 2003 and started with the Bucks. With his incredible speed, his breakthrough is very sharp.

Joe Smith won the jump ball, and as the top pick in 1995, even if he was reduced to a homeless man working around, he could still play some role and have a strong quality.

The Bucks blocked, Ford broke through with the ball, and the Nets' defense immediately became empty.

Mourning's lateral movement speed is too slow now, and he can only be a meat shield, and Ford can pass him with one acceleration and score an easy layup.

In the next round, Mourning couldn't come out of the low post, Ford split the ball, and Thomas hit another three-pointer from the left.

Thomas is an alternative power forward, 208cm tall but likes to float on the outside to shoot three-pointers, and easily does not go to the basket. Mourning's defensive role doesn't play out.

Reed is a strong No. 2 position, his specialty is throwing three-pointers, Joe Smith can also shoot in the middle after blocking and dismantling, and the Bucks' offensive formation is very open.

Kidd defends Reed, and the Bucks play in the middle; He defended Ford, and Reed could eat Kittels directly with his body.

After playing 6 minutes, the Nets were dumb on the offensive end, unable to defend and unable to defend, trailing by 13 points. Kidd, Jefferson, and Mourning didn't feel anything.

The Nets sent Collins and Wang Jun to replace Kittels and Mourning.

Before going on the court, Kidd called Wang Jun to his side and taught his experience: "Wang, Mason has won the dunk king, his physical fitness is very strong, his shooting ability is average, he prefers to protect the basketball with his back, squeeze away from the opponent and turn around to break through." Your strength may be a little worse than his, so I suggest you don't get close, keep your distance from him, and don't shoot at all. ”

"Thanks, I see."

Kidd patted Wang Jun on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, play at a normal level." ”

Finally playing, Wang Jun took a deep breath.

The opponent is very strong, and the defense of Mason is already taking care of him, otherwise he will have to defend the outside core Reed.

He has to take his chances and impress the coach to get more playing time.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun ran to the bottom right corner, and Collins went to the side to stand up to help Wang Jun get rid of Mason and run to the line.

Martin was in the low post on the left, Kidd leaned on the perimeter to protect the ball from Ford and didn't find cover, and as soon as Wang Jun got rid of it, the ball immediately passed to him.

The most inconspicuous person on the field is Wang Jun, and Thomas is not active in changing defenses this time.

He inhales and catches the ball and jumps, his movements are smooth, his posture is beautiful, he shoots quickly, and he doesn't stay in the air for a long time. This kind of shot is difficult to block, the ball draws a beautiful high arc, hollow into the net, brush! 10 to 20.

The Bucks attacked, and the interior line also pulled out the perimeter, and the two teams played similarly.

Collins came on the court, and there was no obvious weakness in the switch, and he moved fast.

Wang Jun followed Mason, keeping his distance.

Martin switched defenses and followed tightly, Ford didn't have a chance to break through and gave Reed, who was stuck by Jefferson and passed the ball to Mason.

Mason was clearly overworked, and he didn't practice yoga, and he trained his muscles to death, and he shot stiffly, and his pull-up jumper missed, and Martin grabbed the rebound.

Kidd made a smart choice to let Wang Jun shoot without a break, and let Mason shoot with a lower shooting percentage than others.

He's thinking about it all and maybe he can coach now.

The nets attacked, Wang Jun ran without the ball, and tried to get rid of it by strength, Mason, who is 196CM tall, weighs 101 kg, and his strength is really better.

Black players are very explosive and are a natural advantage. Mason's physique can still walk like flying, easily making 360-degree turns to dunk, crotch dunk and other actions.

Wang Jun found Collins to cover without the ball and ran to get rid of Mason.

This time he chose to cut inside, and Joe Smith hurriedly changed the defense.

Wang Jun ran from the right side to the left bottom corner to attract the defense, and Kidd gave the ball to Martin, who blocked and cut through the middle, squeezed Ford, and scored with both hands! 12 to 20.

The Nets offense finally turned on.
