Chapter 224 [Chinese people play match-fixing! 】
Entering the 21st century, the All-Star Game is becoming more and more powerful, and the gameplay is becoming more and more attractive, and it is becoming more and more profitable under Stern's leadership.∽↗
However, NBA has become no longer like a fan festival.
There are less than 18,000 seats in the All-Star Game, and 80% of the tickets were taken away by the league. The destination was to play many business partners, and those who watched the game had some origins.
The remaining 3,700 tickets are left to the Lakers, Clippers and Stadium owner Aeg Company. The Lakers and Clippers each can get about 1,000 tickets, most of which will be left to their respective business partners, and the remaining 13,500 season ticket holders will be purchased by drawing lots.
Unless it is a family member or girlfriend of the player, it is difficult to buy tickets.
Fans of other teams basically dream about having a ticket, so they had to apply online and try their luck. The tickets there cost between $300 and $1,600.
In the morning, Wang Jun and the All-Stars participated in the carnival event and interacted with the fans.
In the afternoon, the first and second-year rookies trained separately.
In the evening, the rookie challenge started first.
Doug Collins, who once coached Jordan, leads the first-year team, and the assistant coach is the Nets assistant coach Larry Drew. The second-year team's head coach is the legendary superstar of the Lakers, Michael Cooper, and "Tian Gou" Kareem Abdul-Bar serves as an assistant.
Hinrich, Wang Jun, James, Anthony and Kaman started five.
Kaman is not very popular, but this is Los Angeles and his home court.
Hinrich is the only point guard, and Wade is more like a shooting guard. His breakthrough style overlaps with James, so he is a substitute.
The second-year starter doesn't look reasonable.
Jaric, Ginobili, Stadamier, Boozer, Yao Ming.
The three inside players started together. Isn’t this arrogance? Cooper didn’t think about it at all. Whoever has the best data will be allowed to play. If you only look at the regular season player data, you will definitely win in the second grade.
The game was a little behind the scenes, and the person who competed for the ball with Yao Ming was James.
This is not that he looks down on Kaman, but that James is too eager to show his jumping power, and his teammates agree.
Unfortunately, Yao Ming is too high, so it takes time for James to jump. Yao Ming won and earned the ball with a light jump, and attacked first in the second grade.
The coach arranged for Wang Jun to defend himself from the low post. Because he was slow to get off the fast break, Anthony and James were more likely to play exciting cooperation outside.
Yao Ming pulled out to cover, Jaric took a step to pass the ball, and Stadameier scored a layup with an empty cut. 0 to 2.
Anthony is short in playing No. 4 and is not serious in defense.
The baseline ball was sent, and Hinrich brought it to the frontcourt to James. Wang Jun and Kaman had no ball cover to get rid of Ginobili. Without saying a word, James passed the ball over.
Yao Ming was guarding the basket. Stadameer followed Anthony, and the most suitable person to switch defense was Boozer.
He doesn't defend in the regular season, let alone a show-like challenge?
Wang Jun got an open position after getting rid of Ginobili, jumped into the net with a three-pointer. He entered the net with a hollow 3-2.
In the second grade attack, Yao Ming received a pass from Jaric on the right and single-handed challenge to Kaman, and his signature turn and jump shot missed. Boozer rushed for a rebound in the frontcourt and was tweeted by Anthony. Wang Jun picked up the ball and launched a counterattack for James.
James rushed up and threw away Stadamier, Jaric returned to defense. James ignored the interference and forced a layup, 5-2.
In the second grade offense, the ball was still passed to Yao Ming. This time he fought against Kaman and turned around and jumped to the ball. 5-4.
Kaman was serious about defending and wanted to use this method to increase exposure. However, Yao Ming's jump shot one-on-one trick was difficult to defend against. Not only was he tall, but he also had a small backward tilt.
In the first grade offense, Kaman covered Wang Jun from the side again.
The coach did not arrange a fixed tactic and came casually. Kaman knew that he could not beat Yao Ming, so he simply helped Wang Jun.
This is the benefit of connections. If you have friends, you can play basketball with brothers.
If Wade starts, will Carman cover it?
He would rather play "123 Wooden Man" inside until he was replaced.
Carman thinks it was Wade's fault that he had been in Los Angeles and he might play it out when he went to the Heat. Unfortunately, the draft only has one for every rookie.
After no ball cover, Ginobili did not chase after the defense, Boozer was too lazy to change defense, and Yao Ming would not go out to attack Wang Jun and invite him to Yao's hot pot.
So Wang Jun's right side was empty again at 60 degrees, and it was extremely comfortable to catch the ball.
This is easier than the team training. If he doesn't make it, how can he meet his hometown elders in Chinatown, New York?
Receive the ball, bend your knees, jump, and take action. Wang Jun's movements were done in one go, his posture was as beautiful as a picture, with a small tilt back, and the ball was hollow into the net! 8 to 4.
CCTV5 live game, Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Wang Jun got angry at the beginning and is likely to score luxurious data today. Two three-pointers are all assists from James."
"The defense in the rookie competition is relatively lax, just performance. Wang Jun is the best pitcher in the two teams today. I think he may win the mvp." Yu Jia said expectantly.
"Wang Jun is recognized as the strongest pitcher for a rookie. His regular season three-point shooting percentage is more than 40%, but he did not participate in the long-range shooting competition. I don't know why." Zhang Heli regrets this.
On the field, Yao Ming pulled the cover to the outside world, which was useless.
Jaric, who is 201cm tall, is a point guard. He is not good at playing with the ball. He likes to pass it to his teammates, stand on the periphery and wait for opportunities to shoot three-pointers, and then defend.
Boozer caught the ball and beat James alone, and played the skills. After dribbling under his crotch, he changed his direction and dribbled the ball with one hand. 8 to 6.
James didn't move at all. It was obvious that the tacit understanding between the Cavaliers teammates were undercover.
In the first-year offense, Stardameier defended a high position, so he quickly got a fast attack, and Boozer and Yao Ming were in the joint defense position.
With the same simple cover cooperation, Wang Jun was empty again on the right.
Wang Jun got rid of Ginobili and received a pass from James. Boozer and Yao Ming performed like the ending song of the Slam Dunk cartoon "Only Watching You"!
Ginobili yelled in his heart: "If I don't play like this, can I let myself guard against the whole game? Referee! The Chinese are playing counterfeit ball!"
Ginobili is good at fighting in chaos, not defense, and he doesn't want to play hard in the challenge.
James saw Wang Jun running and passed the ball again. Wang Jun was 60 degrees on the right, with the same shooting action, the pitching arc was perfect, and it entered the net hollow again. 11 to 6.
Zhang Heli shouted: "Beautiful, Wang Jun made the third three-pointer, James made three assists. It is said that they came from Cleveland together, so they must have discussed how to play. It's really a tacit understanding."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "I think today, MVP is 80% selected from the two of them. Wang Jun is not as restrained as Yao Ming. If the defense intensity is always like this, he will definitely take a bold move to score."
When returning to defense, Wang Jun, Kaman and James clapped hard.
James passes the ball like a point guard, and Carman has always given him selfless cover. This friendship cannot be expressed by verbal thanks.
