Chapter 298 [Are you ready to run?]
The number of live broadcasts of the Nets in the new season of the United States has not decreased due to the departure of Martin and Kittles. Instead, it has increased by four games from last season, ranking higher than the middle.︽
The number of live broadcasts is only one aspect, but also depends on the team's popularity and star popularity. Kidd is the core of the Internet team, and Wang Jun's rise has also attracted a lot of attention, and they are the key.
"Sharks Go East", the Lakers are still among the best in the new season's live broadcasts because of Kobe, who has the super scoring ability.
The Heat, which owns O'Neal, suddenly rose to the top three in the league. Experts predict that they will strive for the championship, which is the charm of superstars.
Because of the introduction of McGrady, the Rockets' live broadcast ranking soared to fourth place in the league, which shows that its appeal is far better than Frances and Mobri. In the past, the Rockets were only ranked in the middle.
The Nets are not optimistic. The first-item strength list was announced and ranked 21st in the league. As the defending champion, it is unimaginable.
The reason for the experts is very simple. The Nets are now relying on Jefferson and Wang Jun. It is doubtful how many games they can lead the team to win. If they lose too many games in the first two months, they may even miss the playoffs.
Espn did not forget to complain about Brooke's management operations after he entered the Nets.
Columnist Nicholas said: "The Nets' goal is not to defend the champions, but they will benefit from Wang Jun, Jefferson, and Korver. They will bear more offensive responsibilities. The inside defense is a weakness, and Costic and Williams' defense will definitely not be compared with Martin."
The first game was the "China Derby". After the NBA held the China Game, it came up with this method to attract fans.
Another gimmick is Jefferson vs. McGrady.
Last season, Jefferson had no power to fight back against McGrady. He could not defend himself at all. This time he had a heavy task.
It is also possible that Wang Jun will play against McGrady. Leaving the task of defending Jim Jackson to Jefferson depends on the coach's specific arrangements.
On the evening of November 2, the opening game was full of spectators.
The Nets' season tickets were not sold well this year. Many fans came to see the "Yao and Mai combination". Some people in the stands held slogans to support McGrady, hoping that he could score 60+ again.
I hope that the visiting team stars will massacre the home team. If they are at the devil's home court with a strong sense of belonging to the fans, this guy should be thrown out.
Before the game started, the team held a simple championship ring awarding ceremony, and former boss Lewis Katz also attended the ceremony and received his own ring.
Interestingly, as the team owner, Bruce has no ring, and the person who delivered the speech was President Thorne.
Kidd participated in the ceremony and got the ring, and the fans gave warm applause.
When Wang Jun picked up the ring, the applause he received was even more warm than Kidd. Fans felt that the champion was thanks to his and Malone's collision.
CCTV5 live broadcast, Zhang Heli looked at the information of several newcomers in the Nets team and sighed: "The game is about to begin, and Wang Jun's preseason performance is eye-catching. However, those eight games do not remember the data, and today's match against the Rockets who have upgraded the lineup is his chance to prove himself."
Yu Jia is obviously not optimistic about the Nets. "The Rockets must have the advantage in the lineup. This year they have become the favorite to win the championship. The internal and external dual-core model is similar to the Ok combination. The two-time scoring champion McGrady did not do his best in the preseason. Today, I see how he can perform."
Zhang Heli nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult for the Nets to win at home, and the lineup is weak. It is not a bad thing for Wang Jun, he can have more ball rights."
The players appeared after the warm-up.
Nets starters: Vaughan, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Eric Williams, and Collins.
The Nets have a small ball lineup as soon as they come up. The players are shorter than last season. Although there is 213cm Costic, Lawrence is worried about his defense. He is preparing to inspect for a while before reusing it.
Rockets starter: Charlie Ward, McGrady, Jim Jackson, Morris Taylor, Yao Ming.
Sending Francis away, the Rockets' biggest weakness is No. 1 position, veteran Charlie Ward's peak data is only 7.8 points and 5.7 assists, and he is a football player in college.
Even so, Charlie is better than Tyrone Lu, who comes from the Magic deal, and that person is just a defensive colander.
McGrady and Wang Jun stood together, Wang Jun smiled at him and said lightly: "Are you ready to run away?"
McGrady's hazy eyes immediately became more energetic, bringing bad memories. When the Magic played against the Nets last season, Wang Jun's style of playing impressed him. He had to be careful that he had to run away all the time.
What's worse is that Rockets often use tactics to mark people.
The net team arranged joint defense rather than people-to-peer. If McGrady attacked Wang Jun's side, they would face each other.
Yao Ming won the jump ball and the game began.
Charlie passed the ball to McGrady, Yao Ming came out to cover Jefferson, McGrady dribbled the ball and broke through, and Eric quickly changed defense.
The Nets made three finals and won the championship in an upset. In addition to three-pointers, there is also an important defensive system. Eric is 203cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He has a small forward figure as a guest player as a power forward. He has strong mobility and quick defense replacement, which is exactly aimed at McDie's characteristics.
McGrady failed to break through the ball, so she was assigned to Jim Jackson.
Jackson was brilliant at the Mavericks, with a peak of 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. He once fought with Kidd in order to grab the woman. Now Kidd is watching the game on the sidelines. He probably wants to stimulate Kidd with his outstanding performance and choose to take the ball and attack.
Wang Jun kept his distance and followed the defense. Jackson stopped and jumped on the jump shot. Wang Jun stepped forward and reached out to interfere, and the ball bounced out of the box.
Collins stuck Yao Ming and helped Jefferson grab the rebound.
The net team attacked on the position, Vaughn took to the frontcourt to observe his teammates' running position.
When practicing tactics during training camp, Lawrence emphasized the most that Wang Jun received the ball when he ran back. Vaughn practiced for a month and had a good grasp of the timing.
Wang Jun relied on Collins to get rid of McGrady and received the ball 60 degrees on the right.
At this time, Taylor needed to switch defenses. He was worthy of defending the black hole, and as if he hadn't reacted, he stood in the horn position.
Wang Jun made a jump shot without any pressure and entered the net with hollow! 3 to 0.
Zhang Heli praised: "Wang Jun scored the Nets' first goal in the new season, an iconic three-pointer. He is really accurate at this point, and he basically makes it if he doesn't want to defend himself."
Yu Jia said: "I don't understand why Van Gundy didn't let Zhu Wan Howard start. He is experienced and may play better. Although Taylor is an old man in the team, his performance in the first two seasons was very poor."
Charlie brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it. McGrady faced Wang Jun from the left, and wanted to get one of them from the outside. He jumped very high, but Wang Jun could not cover it. The ball was very flat and the frame was popped out.
Yao Ming was stuck by Collins, and Eric easily won the backcourt rebound.
The other Rockets players returned to defense quickly. The Nets' positional battle. With the same cooperation, Wang Jun got rid of the ball from the right and made a three-pointer. Taylor's replacement of defense was slower, but he just stretched out his hand and did not jump.
Brush! Wang Jun made the second three-pointer, 6 to 0.
Zhang Heli was excited: "Another three-pointer! Wang Jun clearly stated in the preseason that he would be the team's number one scorer. He started to shoot as soon as he came up today. I think fans may be able to see him and McGrady's big fight."
Chapter completed!
