Chapter 51 [Details determine success or failure]
Wang Jun is still very physically active. When Kaman fights with people in the inside, he can rest for a while. He doesn't have to run with the defender on the defensive end and fights against people at low posts.
Physical confrontation seems to be expensive, which is exactly what Wang Jun is good at while his opponent's power forward is not good at. In addition to several strong attacks at the beginning, Laubeck retreated from the basket and picked and roll. Therefore, Wang Jun did not withstand much impact on the defensive end and also picked up several rebounds.
In addition, Wang Jun has been practicing high-intensity physical training for a long time and knows how to distribute physical strength. He is extremely persevering and can play in a state of fatigue, which is better than everyone in the team.
The basketball training system allowed him to be reborn within a few months!
As soon as Kaman came on the court, the Wolverines showed their advantages in the interior, while the Spartans' interior offense was almost abandoned.
Both inside strong attacks could not pass the Carman level, so they could only pull the pick-and-roll outside. Seeing that their teammates took action, they would not go in to grab the frontcourt rebounds, so they quickly returned to defense.
Kaman controlled the backcourt rebound, slowly passed the half, and then cut the blankly after covering the ball. After receiving the ball in the inside, he chiseled it into the basket little by little, and made the opponent suffer in great pain.
After playing for several rounds, the score widened again.
In order to defend against Carman's strong attack, Izo took the risk of replacing the strong inside Davis.
With 8 minutes left in the game, Wang Jun and Kaman were out of the ball and ran from the bottom corner to 60 degrees on the right. He got rid of the defense and received a pass from Luke and hit his fourth three-pointer in the game.
Half a minute later, Wang Jun got rid of it with Kaman's cover, and the right bottom corner was vacant again.
Spartans substitute center Davis was unable to replace defense. Wang Jun took a three-pointer without any pressure, and the ball completely defeated the opponent's confidence.
When Coach Zoe realized that he shouldn't have replaced Davis, the situation was over.
Under the NCAA rules, Davis is used to standing at the basket and not coming out, being a meat shield, grabbing rebounds, and defending the defender who breaks into the basket. For someone like Wang Jun who runs to the bottom corner with the opponent, he cannot switch defenses well, and is used to letting his outside teammates chase people.
Zoe knew Davis' weakness and couldn't ignore him in the whole game. As a result, it would be a bad thing if he used it. If he didn't prevent Kaman's team from losing, he would be defeated faster.
Shooting is not as good as dunking, and is not as good as breakthroughs, but it is the most effective way to attack. Wang Jun made 5 of 7 three-pointers in this game, making them have no temper.
The game ended with four minutes left, and the Wolverines led the Spartans by 19 points. The hearts of the home audience were cold and no longer cheered the home team, and some people left the stadium early.
David replaced Wang Jun and sent the original main shooting guard Larry Powell.
By this point, there is no need to let Wang Jun play the whole game.
Powell was sitting on the bench today and was in a state of ecstasy. When he thought of himself as a person who had no chance to play, he was not as good as Gordon. He was so angry that he was very angry. After he came on the court, he was very busy on both offense and defense, venting his vigorous energy.
Under the leadership of Powell, the Wolverines resisted the opponent's counterattack.
Wang Jun was not satisfied with the game, although he had scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and his debut was very outstanding.
He looked at David, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.
David guessed his thoughts and whispered: "I know you want to continue playing, but there is no need. We will definitely win this game. I can't risk the player being injured and let the main player play garbage time. We don't need to get more points."
"I see."
Kaman has also been replaced now. Like the NBA, garbage time is the moment when the team's marginal performance is performed.
"In the top ten leagues, the Spartans are considered strong teams, and it is not easy to score points against them. When playing against weak teams, I will let you play for a while depending on the situation." David said in a voice that only two people could hear.
Wang Junle is over. Isn’t this clear that he is going to swipe the data?
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they had a sense of harmony.
When Abby left, he specifically advised him to help Wang Jun brush his data. David heard that Wang Jun wanted to participate in the NBA draft and wanted to be selected to be luxurious data. If an outsider averaged only 10 points per game, no rebounds or assists, no matter how efficient and hidden it is, NBA scouts would not pay attention.
While Wang Jun helped David realize his mission to compete for the NCAA Championship, he was obliged to help Wang Jun realize his dream.
The game was played without any suspense until the end, and the Wolverines got a good start in the regular season 83-67 away.
The Wolverines players rushed into the field and began to celebrate at the opponent's home court.
This is the first time that senior players beat the Spartans. The Wolverines' glory in the past had nothing to do with them, but now they are their glory.
Many home fans in the audience sighed. The first game was like this and there was no hope. They didn't know the progress of the Wolverines, and they thought the home team was weaker than last season and could not even beat the mid-range team.
Zoe walked up to the player's seat and shook hands with David, expressing congratulations. "Coach Hornersek, congratulations on getting a powerful player. Your record will definitely break through this season."
"Thank you, I wish you good results."
Zoe has an extraordinary vision. He knows what tactics the team is suitable for, and how good or bad the cooperation is. Wang Jun and Kaman cooperate very well. As long as both of them are there, it is very difficult for the Spartans to win. He has regarded the Wolverines as the favorite to win the championship in the top ten leagues this season.
After leaving the stadium, Wang Jun and his teammates got into the bus together and set off on their way home immediately.
There are no reporter interviews, no fans to sign, everything is dull.
Others are used to this kind of thing. Only Wang Jun finds it boring. This level of game makes him unable to get excited. Only when he competes with Laubeck at the beginning can he feel some passion.
When can I have a reporter interview? In his impression, there are many Chinese CBA role players interviewing, and there are many NCAA spectators, but they just don’t see reporters.
Maybe one day, Abby can interview himself on behalf of the TV station.
Seeing that he was in a daze, David asked in a low voice: "Wang, what are you thinking? I think you are not very happy."
Wang Jun shook his head quickly: "I'm very happy, but I'm a little tired."
The teammates were all very excited. His performance was not good. Without the cooperation of his teammates, he would not get good data based on his personal ability.
Maybe I'm too impatient. This is just the first game. When I reach the championship and the top 16, there will definitely be reporters and media attention.
At this time, Wang Jun's mood changed drastically when he first came to the United States.
At first, he could have a job, even if his salary was small, he would be satisfied as long as he earned more than China. After receiving the scholarship, he began to want to take the path of professional basketball, and no longer wanted to spend his time and energy on working, and focused on basketball. Now, his goal is only the NBA, and other professional basketball leagues are not what he wants, and if he can't enter the NBA, it is a failure.
The top ten leagues defeated a strong team and couldn't make him happy at all, it was just a matter of course.
Not only do I have to cure Yingying's disease, but I also want to make her proud of me. When others know that she is my sister, they will look up to her and envy her.
Wang Jun YY, leaned against the seat and fell asleep.
