Chapter 197 [End of Pistons]

Six minutes later, Kidd and others appeared one after another, and only Collins stayed on the bench and was responsible for guarding the basket.

Oku didn't go up, Wang Jun went to defend the low post, and the net team changed to joint defense.

Chris Williams is 201cm tall and weighs 110 kilograms. He is a powerful forward and is not good at shooting.

Wang Jun is not afraid of this type. He can empty the distance when it is far away, and close the body when it is close. As long as he blocks it at a low position, Williams can only pass the ball, otherwise he will fall into double-team once the Nets players shrink.

Hamilton finally scored, but his shooting percentage was not high.

Billups was also at a disadvantage in the matchup with Kidd.

Wallace continued to cheat on the home team on the offensive end, and was released from the outside. When he entered the basket, someone fouled and asked him to free throws.

After driving Scott away, Nets fans realized that there were many people in the team who could play, with at least ten players rotating each game, which made Nets not have to worry about being troubled by fouls.

Ben Wallace was selected as the best defensive player twice and was selected as the All-Star in a row, but is the most overrated inside player in the league.

No matter how good the defense is, it cannot cover up the fact that his offense is so bad.

Moreover, he is too short and can defend against the power inside. When facing Yao Ming, a big man like Nowitzki who can shoot is only hit.

The true best defensive player should be selected from Garnett and Duncan, but those two are too strong offensive and the core role of the defensive end is easily overlooked.

The best defensive player is chosen by reporters, which is a very nonsense in itself.

The Pistons were 20 points behind at halftime, and Wallace made only 5 of 12 free throws, making the undercover role an indelible contribution.

Wang Jun made 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the first half. He made 6 of 10 shots and 3 of 4 three-pointers. He was very efficient.

Kidd made 2 of 2 three-pointers, Kitels and Rodney each made a three-pointer. The overall three-point shooting percentage exceeded 60%, and the Pistons couldn't stand it at all.

In the second half, the Nets continued their small ball tactics, with four pitchers outside and one center pick-and-roll.

The Pistons strengthened the outside defense and reduced the Nets' shooting rate, but they couldn't even make an attack and were always behind.

Wang Jun only scored 2 points in this quarter and grabbed 4 rebounds.

In the final quarter, three starters were resting, Wang Jun, Kittles, and Korver formed the outside, Aaron Williams and Rodney.

Wang Jun suddenly broke out.

Kittles played a cameo as a point guard and brought the ball to the frontcourt. Wang Jun and Aaron played without the ball and scored two three-pointers in a row.

He also attracted side-to-side defenders to pass the ball, assisting Korver to make 3 points.

After 9-0, the Pistons fell 27 points behind, and Brown requested a timeout.

Ben Wallace and Prince came in the game, and the Pistons' pick-and-roll immediately had serious loopholes. Oku and Folsky's replacement were always half a beat slower.

Folsky is 203cm tall and weighs 100 kg.

He is a pure blue-collar worker with almost zero shooting ability. He has strong mobility and does not mean good defense. He averages 7.3 minutes per game and only has 1.2 points and 1.5 rebounds.

Browne would rather send such an unknown waste to the stage and would never use Milicic. Both CCTV5 commentators wondered why Milicic was so unpopular.

This kind of thing is hard to explain. Some people are born with mutual restraint.

Just like Zhuge Liang wanted someone to pull him out and behead him as soon as he saw Wei Yan, because he had a backbone in his head. He had just entered the door. In ancient times, people had a lot of hair, how could you see the back of their heads?

The Nets replaced all the main players with the suspension.

Fringe center Scala Bryan and defender Brandon Armstrong have all appeared, and the other three are Rucios, Korver and Aaron.

Zhang Heli checked the statistics and sighed: "Wang Jun is so outstanding! He made 9 goals in 16 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, no free throws, scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, only two rebounds away from double-double."

Yu Jia made a comparison. "Hamilton made 6 of 16, did not score three-pointers, less than 40% of the shooting percentage, made 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points and 5 assists. In this game, I feel that Wang Jun is better than Hamilton."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "The power gap is too big. If the two of them face each other's full-game, I think Wang Jun can win 30+. Before the start of this season, no one would have thought that Wang Jun could perform better than Yao Ming's rookie season."

Yu Jia said with some regret: "It's a pity that this rookie is too strong. If Wang Jun had won the Best Rookie last season, he would have been hard to compete for James and Anthony this year. Of course, his evaluation is already very high and currently ranks third."

In addition to assists, Wang Jun surpassed Wade on the offensive end, and the American media were embarrassed to let Wang Jun continue to rank fourth in the rookie list.

The Nets' substitute relied on joint defense and "slashing the books" to withstand the Pistons' counterattack, and the starting lineup did not come back.

95 to 77, the Nets won 18 points.

After the game, Brown expressed his disappointment and believed that the team's offense was not as good as the Nets.

Lawrence praised the players of the team, especially Wang Jun and Kidd.

Kidd only played for 30 minutes, with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Facing a reporter's question, Lawrence said: "The Pistons are not weak, but we are stronger. I believe the Nets will enter the finals again this year."

The reporter asked: "Will the mid-term network team conduct trades? For example, strengthen the inside offense."

"Maybe, maybe not, this is the job of the uniform group. I think with Martin in the nets, the inside lineup is very competitive. This lineup is fine to play in the playoffs."

The reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "You performed amazingly in the past week. Not only did you score points, but you also grabbed a lot of rebounds. How did you do it?"

"It's that simple to concentrate."

The reporter asked: "What do you think of him today when you match Hamilton?"

"We are a type of player, good at running without the ball, catching and shooting, he has a longer range and is stronger than him. His advantage is that he is good at passing, more flexible, and each has his own strengths." Wang Jun did not say that he was stronger, so he let the fans judge.

The reporter asked: "There are fans who regretted that you were not on the All-Star shortlist. Do you think you deserve the All-Star?"

"Probably not. I played well and couldn't separate myself from my teammates' passing. I was lucky to partner with Kidd as soon as I entered the league. It doesn't matter if I don't play in the star game, I'm still a rookie." Wang Jun said with a smile.

Yao Ming's rookie was 13+8 in the season, but he squeezed out O'Neal to become an All-Star starter, which caused considerable controversy.

Wang Jun believes in the energy of Chinese fans, but does not want the farce to repeat. There are too many stars, and it is not his turn to see his strength for the time being.

Anyway, I'm already out of the list, why not keep a low profile?

After the press conference, Larry Brown received a call from the president.

Chaudumas asked: "How do you think Dako is, are it available? Can it increase his playing time? The boss is no longer satisfied."

Brown said firmly: "That guy is not good at all and can't fight. He has a problem with his mentality and doesn't work hard. He never even talks to me on his own initiative to win the game time, and even speaks in English. I still keep my original opinion. If I want to win the championship, I must find a No. 4 position that can defend and open up space."

"Okay, I get it."

Dumas hung up the phone and sighed.

How easy is Brown’s request? The inside players who can defend and shoot are all stars, so it is difficult to trade.

However, in order to make up for his previous mistakes and let the Pistons make a difference in the playoffs, Dumas could only use his brain and try his best to operate.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before the transaction deadline, so he can slowly investigate and negotiate with multiple teams.
